Chapter Eighty-Eight: Worship the Coffin
The ground, which had been burned dry, was once again covered with fire, and the cracked stone pillars, like broken water pipes, "flickered" out with lamp oil.
This fire is simply better than the previous ones, and even our hiding place has not escaped the eyes of the fire.
The swarm of lice hiding in the darkness was no exception, and it only took a few seconds for the fire to reach the swarm of lice, and several pubic lice were burned to ashes in an instant.
The louse swarm, restlessness again.
This agitation lasted for a minute or so, and then it became quiet again, and this silence did not last long, and I saw a very strange scene, only to see this group of lice scrambling to crawl to the middle, in the middle of this group of lice, I suddenly saw a long-haired female corpse, this female corpse opened two black and brown eye sockets, looking at us gloomily.
Looking at the behavior of this pubic lice risking death, it is obvious that he is protecting the female corpse.
The pubic lice climbed higher and higher, and soon obscured my vision, and in just a few seconds, they formed a ball about two meters long, and in all corners of the main hall, such large and small balls were simply countless.
The fire is still spreading, the group of lice wrapped in a ball seems to have finally made up their minds, they rolled and rolled into the fire, as soon as they touched the ground, suddenly a lot of pubic lice turned into fireballs, and fell down all over the fire, only this short distance of about one meter, the light lice burned most of them, and the remaining pubic lice suddenly scattered, and the female corpse was exposed to the fire.
As soon as the female corpse appeared, I saw that the fire head of the fire was tilted towards the female corpse, and the female corpse ran to the innermost part of the corridor, but she didn't run a few steps, and with a terrible scream, the female corpse was burned into a corpse in an instant.
This voice was more shocking than anything I had heard before, and its scream stimulated me as deeply as a heart-scratching heart, and I couldn't help but tremble twice, and the grandfather trembled and fell off the pillar.
As soon as the little uncle stretched out his hand, he went up and grabbed the grandfather, if it falls, it will still be available, I guess it won't take too long, and the burning guarantee is that I can't even find the bones, this time the fire is obviously more ferocious than the first time.
"Yin lice belong to yin, lamp oil belongs to yang, how can they withstand the burning of the fire......" The grandfather looked at the female corpse that was still burning, as if he was comforting, and seemed to be talking to himself.
"No, it's the burning lamp oil that has soaked into the lice swarm, otherwise the lice swarm wouldn't have lost the woman's corpse." The cigarette pouch pot interjected.
The little uncle didn't care about their yin and yang, he grabbed me, pointed to the still burning female corpse, and then pointed to the back.
Through the fire, I suddenly found that not far from the female corpse, there were a few coffins, in these coffins, there are a few open, and the remaining pubic lice, one after another into the open coffin, what puzzles me the most is that the coffin is surrounded by fire, but the open space surrounded by the coffin, but there is not even a trace of fire.
I pointed out the discovery to the grandfather, who was obviously taken aback, and he said to us: "That is the Eight Immortals Worship Coffin, the great murderer." ”
I didn't see it as a big culprit, I just saw that something was wrong everywhere.
The lice swarm gradually dispersed, and after a while it ran away, but the fire continued, and what really disturbed me was that the fire burned until it ended, except for a slight smell of burning, there was not a trace of smoke at all in the whole process, not even choking and pungent.
And the behavior of the cigarette pouch and pot seems to know everything.
After about half an hour, my breathing became more and more difficult, and I was startled, and finally I knew why something was wrong.
When the main hall is closed by the stone gate, the air here becomes limited, if there is no fire in the main hall, we may be able to hold on longer, but in order to burn away the lice swarm, we not only increase the fire source, but also make the fire bigger and bigger, but in this way, the lice swarm has receded, and the oxygen here has also been burned out.
The fire slowly became smaller, and the mouth of the stone pillar that broke like a sewer pipe had now stopped, and only scattered tailfires on the ground were still devouring the last oxygen.
The fire was extinguished, it didn't give us time to react at all, the lamp oil on the ground had not yet had time to burn, and now it was "gurgling" bubbling, my throat was tense for a while, and I saw that my uncle's face also became red, it seems that we are collectively starved of oxygen.
At this time, an oxygen cylinder fell next to me, and a rope hung from the bottle, and the other end of the rope was tied to the waist of the cigarette pouch pot, and I only remember now, when we ran for our lives just now, all of us were empty-handed, only the cigarette pouch and pot, and he went back and carried two oxygen cylinders, and now I think about it, if it weren't for his two oxygen cylinders, we would have suffocated here.
We all knew that the fire had just been extinguished, and now the temperature on the ground must be very high, although we climbed not low, but there were still waves of heat coming here, and I hugged the pillar tightly, for fear that I would accidentally fall down and be burned to death by the lamp oil.
At this moment there is only a wait, waiting for the temperature of the ground to drop.
We took turns using oxygen cylinders on the pillars, and after about a cup of tea, the ground changed, and we saw that the originally neat and smooth ground had formed a thin layer of frost in a few breaths, and this layer of frost was spreading rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This situation lasted for about a minute, and suddenly it was like a fisherman who cast a net and suddenly tightened the net, the frost surface immediately tightened, forming a circle of white lines like a spider's web on the ground, and these stone pillars slowly tightened the white line like a fisherman who cast a net, and it didn't take a few seconds to gradually thicken under the pull of the stone pillars, and slowly and slowly formed a layer of milky white thin ice on the ground, the ice was snow-white, covering the entire ground, and it looked like a heavy snow from a distance, very thick.
"Grandpa and uncle, look, that's ......"
"That's the snow and ice created by the lamp oil as it solidifies, and it's not a big deal." He stared at the oil surface and said to me slowly.
I looked so strange that I couldn't help but ask, "And what are these lamp oils made of?" ”
"People, living people." The grandfather paused, and then said: "After catching the living person, put it in the pot and add herbs to boil slowly, and after boiling out the human oil, clarify and extract the transparent substances on it, these substances are processed, and then mixed with fire oil, it will be used to make the lamp oil of the ever-bright lamp, once the oil lamp is lit, as long as there is oil in the person, the lamp will not be extinguished, and it only needs a small amount of air when it burns, and it will not produce smoke, so it is called the ever-bright lamp." ”
