"Have you ever heard of the Box of the Hundred Ghosts?" Pokerface asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The box of the hundred ghosts, as the name suggests, is the box that blocks the hundred ghosts. The legendary hundred ghosts, there are all kinds of ghosts in the oriental culture, and there are also evil ghosts who are responsible for the trouble, and these ghosts are all locked in different ancient tombs, and these ancient tombs are called the box of the hundred ghosts. However, at first, the box of the hundred ghosts did not mean that.
Lao Jiang deliberately re-explained the meaning of the Hundred Ghosts Box to Zhuo Fan, and said, "The legendary Hundred Ghosts Box is scattered in all corners of the world, and the specific location is only known to the people who guard the Hundred Ghosts Box, and their people have lived underground for generations, just like the Moonlight Clan. I'm afraid Pokerface already suspects that they are the ones guarding the box of the hundred ghosts, right? ”
Poker Face didn't answer, bowed to the open coffin, and closed the lid again.
After a long time, Pokerface reorganized his luggage, put all kinds of things back into his backpack, took a sip of water, and said, "I'm just thinking, I'm afraid this box of a hundred ghosts is not that simple." According to research, the box of the hundred ghosts may be related to European myths and legends. ”
Poker Face walked back to the ear chamber and lit the fire fold next to him, illuminating the small ear chamber. The three of them sat down around the light of the fire fold. Leaning against the wall, he slowly told Zhuo Fan and Lao Jiang his thoughts.
Hesiod's long poem "Theogony" records the story of the earliest gods in European mythology, before man was born, the world was ruled by gods, and there were often bloody battles between gods, and even the second generation of the god of domination, Kronos, ate his own children into his stomach. Legend has it that when these gods die, their bodies are annihilated and their spirits are immortal. The spirits of these gods are sealed away in different parts of the world, guarded by the descendants of the gods, and once these gods are found and released, they will cause a catastrophe in the human world.
Pokerface said everything he knew, and fell into deep thought again.
"Poker face, why are you saying this, this should be just an ordinary catacomb, if you want to talk about different places, it's just that the tombs here have a very strict hierarchy."
"Also, this is supposed to be the burial chamber of the Moonlight Clan." Zhuo Fan stood up and said very firmly, "This must be the tomb of the Moonlight Clan, we came here from the labyrinth of the Moonlight Clan, and here is the same black light-absorbing substance as the labyrinth. I've been wondering why these people, whether they are civilians or people of a higher rank, are buried in the same tomb. Actually, it's because they're all from the same village. The more Zhuo Fan spoke, the more excited he became, his face moved, and his arms waved.
"Brother, don't get excited, even if what you say is true, what does that mean?"
Zhuo Fan's lips trembled in excitement, "Do you remember the corpse we saw on it just now?" ”
"We saw so many corpses up there, how can I remember which one you were talking about?" Lao Jiang shook the clothes in front of his stomach, and a cool breeze got into the clothes.
"It's the corpse just now, just buried." Zhuo Fan clapped his hands, "I should have thought of it just now, that corpse was buried not long ago, which means that the people of the Moonlight Clan still regard this place as their burial chamber." It is no wonder that the burial chamber in the clan is not so easy to relocate, since they have chosen this place as the cemetery of their clan, then even if the living people are relocated, the dead will still be buried here. ”
"What do you want to say?" Old Jiang Hu looked at Zhuo Fan suspiciously.
"What I want to say is......" The excited Zhuo Fan stopped the conversation in time, he shook his head, and immediately turned the conversation away, "What I want to say is that the poker face just said so much, what do you want to say?" After saying that, he barely suppressed the surging in his heart, turned to the poker face and asked.
After the poker face finished talking just now, he closed his eyes and recuperated until now, he listened to the conversation between Zhuo Fan and the poker face, and he already had a deeper consideration for the two of them in his heart, and when he heard Zhuo Fan ask, he opened his eyes slowly.
The light of the fire fold danced in the poker face's eyes, and he clearly saw the unsuppressed ecstasy in Zhuo Fan's eyes. "I think it should be considered, this is one of the boxes of a hundred ghosts in European myths and legends."
"Why, this is in China." Zhuo Fan immediately retorted, in addition to the idea of poker face, he believed in his heart more.
"That's not necessarily, you should know that the original world continent was redistributed, human beings carried out a great migration, and there were many local natives in Europe, who moved to a relatively gentle and resource-rich continent."
"If that's the case, it was 10,000 years ago. You can also see that the burial system here is no different from that of mainland China, even if it is one of the boxes of a hundred ghosts, what about it? Lao Jiang doesn't want to complicate simple things, he prefers to start from the front and find clues at hand. It's not that he hasn't heard of the legend that poker face said, but in Lao Jiang's heart, it's just a legend.
Poker Face turned his gaze to Zhuo Fan, Zhuo Fan was still immersed in his firm belief, and he didn't take Poker Face's inference to heart at all. Pokerface continued to explain, "If, the Moonlight Clan really has something to do with the Box of the Hundred Ghosts......"
"Why are you so attached to the Hundred Ghost Box?" Lao Jiang finally became impatient with the persistence of the poker face, "I don't know why I came here with you." All along, I don't ask you what you do, but look at what you have become now? Why are you reluctant to take care of your physical condition? What a box of a hundred ghosts, go ******! ”
In the impression of the poker face, Lao Jiang has never vented any dissatisfaction with him, which is the first time in the world. Poker face bears it calmly. He sighed softly and silently extinguished the fire of the fire breaker.
By the time the fire lit up again, Poker Face had already taken off his clothes and sat calmly opposite Lao Jiang.
Except for his face, Poker's face was withered from top to bottom, and there was no trace of life. His skin was wrinkled, wrapping around his thin, unhuman figure, and if he had been put in a coffin, no one would suspect him of being a living person. Under such a figure, the handsome face of the poker face looks particularly abrupt and pale.
Zhuo Fan had already seen the figure of the poker face just now, and he couldn't help but exclaim. "How could you ......"
"What I didn't tell Yu Yue was that I woke up from the cockpit of the plane that day and found that the nose and cabin of the plane had long been separated. The cockpit was stuck between the mountains, and I finally got out of that cave and met Yu Yue. I didn't tell you that the cave was located in Guizhou, and Yu Yue and the others happened to go to Guizhou to cover the disappearance of the leader of the construction team. When I came out of the cave, I happened to see Yu Yue.
I disguised myself as the deputy leader of the construction team and went down a new cave with Yu Yue, only to find that the cave was only separated by a wall from the cave where I had an accident. And that cave has a strong magnetic field, and I don't know why, but I sensed it at the time. Later, when I went there again, I couldn't sense such a strong magnetic field anymore. ”
The poker face paused slightly, looking at Lao Jiang's expression. Lao Jiang's facial expression was soothing, and the stiff lines softened.
"What I haven't told you is that when I entered this tomb, I noticed that the magnetic field here was very strong. It's like sensing it in that cave. ”
Hearing this, Lao Jiang frowned, "What do you want to say?" Ah Shen ...... "Lao Jiang's brows were locked again.
"Ah Shen?!" Zhuo Fan was surprised by Lao Jiang's title, looked at Lao Jiang and then at the poker face, and asked blankly, "What Ah Shen?" ”
Neither Poker Face nor Lao Jiang responded to Zhuo Fan's doubts, and stared at each other through the fire, their eyes shining with fire, more determined than ever. "I speculate that the gate of the world of affairs is in the box of a hundred ghosts."
For a long time, no one spoke. In the dark and empty ear chamber, a slight crackling sound could be heard from the burning of the fire folds, like a node that had finally burned to fuel, crackling and breaking, and sparks scurrying in all directions.
"It's ridiculous." Lao Jiang laughed dryly, "I have always agreed with your reasoning, last time, although I had doubts about the door of the world, I still chose to believe you." But what are you telling me about the Hundred Ghosts Box now, who knows where the Hundred Ghosts Box is, and how many there are? You told me out of thin air that the gate of the world of things is in the box of a hundred ghosts. What the hell is this! ”
Poker Face lowered his head slightly, and for such a long time, he was reluctant to lift up his clothes, and that was the reason. Even if they are brothers, in the face of such an unbelievable event, they will still doubt themselves. Poker Face smiled helplessly, got up to put on his clothes, and put his backpack back on.
"What if I say the letter?" From just now, Zhuo Fan sat silently in the corner and didn't say a word.
"Believe what?" Lao Jiang was even more puzzled by Zhuo Fan.
"Believe what he says." After Zhuo Fan finished speaking, his side face was raised and he looked at the poker face, "I believe what Dr. Shen said, there is a door to the world of affairs in the box of the hundred ghosts." ”
"You ......" In front of Lao Jiang, it was Zhuo Fan, who was unexpectedly calm after knowing the truth.
"Before his death, my father told me everything in another way. It's not by chance that I'm here, and I believe what Dr. Shen said, because I'm here to find the door to the world. ”
