Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Ghost Dancer
The little monkey shuddered and said, "Damn, what the hell is this?" As the words fell, I saw that on the top of the roof, I don't know when, an astonishing number of human-faced ghost fires appeared hovering on it. However, as if something was blocking a few meters below the zenith, these people hit the invisible barrier like crazy and tried to rush down, and each impact made the sound of firecrackers exploding.
Such a crazy human-faced ghost fire is not a good sign, Li Xinwen's face changed slightly, and she immediately beckoned Liu Xiaoge and the little monkey to leave here quickly. Because she always had an ominous premonition in her heart, especially after all four coffins were opened, this ominous premonition not only did not disappear, but intensified.
Liu Xiaoge was not in the mood to continue reading his notes, so he quickly put away his notebook, and the three of them quickly packed up their equipment, planning to return the same way. At this moment, there was another astonishing change above the zenith, and the countless human-faced ghost fires suddenly stopped impacting, and instead arranged a strange pattern, which at first glance looked like an astrolabe image.
Liu Xiaoge was almost stunned, this kind of image seemed to have been hidden in the depths of Liu Xiaoge's memory, giving Liu Xiaoge a very familiar feeling. But in a hurry, my brain was a little insufficient, and I couldn't remember what this pattern meant. I subconsciously slowed down my pace and wanted to look at it twice, hoping to evoke memories that had been sealed for a long time.
As soon as the rhythm slowed down, the star map of the zenith changed again, and began to circulate, no longer a fixed pattern. The turquoise points of light combined with the pitch-black zenith form a picture of the alternating changes of the sun, moon and stars in space. The entire main burial chamber also became brilliant, and the three of them were fascinated by this beautiful scene.
The little monkey said incoherently in almost surprise: "Damn, this seems to be a picture in the space station, it's really spectacular." When it came to the space star map, Liu Xiaoge thought of the dragon hunting trick. Liu Xiaoge's research time is not long, but Liu Xiaoge always has a special sense of familiarity with the dragon hunting trick, and it is not jerky and difficult to understand.
In the thinking of the ancients, the stars in the sky and the mountains and rivers on the earth are intertwined, and only the unity of heaven and man, the unity of creation and transformation is the real dragon's lair. Different constellations correspond to different mountains and rivers on the ground, and this stargazing method is especially used to find the kind of ancient tombs that are thousands of years old.
Because of thousands of years on the ground, even mountains and rivers can change. There may be great changes in the mountains and rivers of the past, but the stars are eternal. Just when Liu Xiaoge looked at the astrological constellation composed of human-faced ghost fire and began to wonder what it meant, the human-faced ghost fire began to change again.
This time it didn't form any pattern, but once again began to attack downwards, unlike the earliest one, this time it came down without any obstacles. The height of this zenith from the ground is more than 20 meters at most, and the human-faced ghost fire rushed down like raindrops almost instantly.
The three of them hurriedly gathered back to back when they got to this posture, and the little monkey asked: "Little brother and eldest sister (referring to Li Xinwen), you should quickly get an idea, this person is very evil-faced, and it is not fun to be tricked." When Liu Xiaoge saw the human-faced ghost fire, he immediately thought of the disgusting mucus in the headless burial pit, which could affect the judgment of the human-faced ghost fire.
But since entering the dungeon, the two of them couldn't bear this foul-smelling and disgusting mucus, and quickly cleaned it up. At present, there is nothing in this main tomb that can resist the ghost fire of human faces, Li Xinwen is not as anxious as Liu Xiaoge, decisively pulled out her pistol, and is ready to fight back at any time.
Because she had tried it in the headless burial pit as before, cold weapons such as bows and arrows and knives did not have much effect on these ghostly fires. Now that there is no other way but to take a hot weapon and a dead horse as a live horse doctor, the three of them glanced at each other and nodded silently.
Just when the three of them were preparing to break through, the human-faced ghost fires entrenched around the three of them actually began to change again. The originally empty and blurred facial features began to gradually become clearer, gradually conjuring up images other than the head, and the torso also began to emerge.
As the changes followed, the turquoise flames burning on the human-faced ghost fire began to gradually extinguish, turning into faint human shapes. If it could be regarded as a human-faced ghost fire just now, now this change is like a ghost, it seems even more ghostly, and with the appearance of these ghosts, the atmosphere suddenly becomes dull.
Looking at the appearance of these ghosts, first of all, the hairstyle is very different from the flowing long hair image of the ancients in the TV series, and the hair is broken, but it is a bit like the personality short hair image in the hair salon now. Except for the broken hair, the teeth in the mouths of these people are all sharp and sharp, not the flat teeth that normal humans should have, and they are wearing the unique costumes of a few famous people. Finally, the skin is tattooed with strange patterns.
The little monkey monster shouted, "Are these people or not, how do they look like orcs in the World of Warcraft." It's really a bit like what he said, first the image matches, especially the sharp teeth, and finally the color of turquoise, almost exactly the same. Liu Xiaoge was surprised when he saw it, could it be that this orc really existed, and it was in Fujian thousands of years ago?
Li Xinwen glanced at the two of them with disdain and said, "This is not an orc, this is the earliest image of the ancient Minyue people." Broken hair, missing teeth, tattoos, these are the signs of the ancient Minyue people. After Li Xinwen's explanation, the two of them were in a slightly settled mood, fortunately they were not orcs, and they were not ready to dig the graves of orcs.
These ghosts that looked like the ancients circled around the three of them a few times. Ignoring the fact that the three of them suddenly began to sing and dance, this sudden change made the three of them a little overwhelmed, a large number of ancients arranged around the three of them in a circle, and then centered on the position of the three people, began to dance in an orderly manner.
Liu Xiaoge was a little stunned, he really couldn't guess what these ghosts were going to do. Li Xinwen has a thoughtful expression, don't mention it, the little monkey doesn't know what to do to react at all, and is scratching his ears and cheeks. Although the ghosts did not directly attack them, the dance seemed so orderly that it was not chaotic at all.
It doesn't look like the ancient people in the impression of celebrating the harvest at all, the main reason is that the expressions on the faces of these ghosts are very serious, and there is no joy to be seen. It seems that although it is singing and dancing, if you look closely, you will find that every dance step is orderly and not panicked at all, and it is clear that these dances have strict standards and are not just danced. However, in the main burial chamber like this, the sound is inaudible, but watching the translucent turquoise ghosts dance around you is not a pleasant experience.
As the dance continued, the dancers in the back row began to gradually take shape, a total of five laps. The three of them were surrounded by five circles, about a hundred ghost dancers, and these ghost dancers were all holding hands, standing very close to each other, although there was a gap, but the gap was too small to pass.
Then, a few more minutes passed, and the ghost dancers changed their posture again, kneeling on their knees, from dancing to worshipping, and the direction of worship was exactly the area where the three of them were. Spread your hands out, face up on your back, and close your eyes to concentrate. Then get down on your knees and bow down. Seeing that the ghost dancers were all on their knees, Li Xinwen knew that the long-awaited opportunity to escape had come.
A clear whistle said: "What are you two waiting for, slip away." Don't run at this time and wait for when. This sentence can be described as a word to wake up the person in the dream. After that, Li Xinwen rushed out first, her graceful body was very dexterous, and she ran to the place where the ghost dancer knelt in three steps. With a leap and long legs raised, a standard 110-meter hurdle pose was struck and leaped over the heads of these ghost dancers.
The little monkey didn't think much about it at first glance, and then jumped over the hurdle after running wildly, and it was Liu Xiaoge's turn. Liu Xiaoge gritted his teeth, ran wildly with his legs, and jumped high on one leg about half a meter away from the ghost dancer. Smoothly jumping over the top of the ghost dancer's head, Liu Xiaoge's confidence has increased greatly in the past, and it seems that it is not as difficult as imagined.
Because considering that his skills are not as good as theirs, if he wants not to fall behind, he can only cross the remaining four human walls in a row and escape. The second and third lanes, just when they crossed the third lane, Liu Xiaoge suddenly saw the little monkey and Li Xinwen in front of him stop with a sudden brake. This sudden change made Liu Xiaoge's heart nervous, this nervousness was a bad thing, and his steps were bigger, and when he saw that he had jumped his head, he crashed towards the ghost dancers in the last row.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the ghost wall, his body was completely controlled by inertia, and he couldn't stop at all when he landed on one foot. Now Liu Xiaoge can only ignore the thirty-seven twenty-one, compared to alarming these ghost dancers, he can jump over and talk about it.
Under a loud roar, Liu Xiaoge exerted force on one leg, and the whole person jumped up again, and there was a double jump. This posture is extremely difficult and can easily cause muscle strain. But at the moment, what was worse than the muscle strain was the scene in front of Liu Xiaoge, and I saw that behind this ghost dancer, I don't know when a row of ghost soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding sharp weapons appeared, and they were holding weapons and slashing towards these ghost dancers at this moment.
This Liu Xiaoge's jump is completely sending himself into this tiger's mouth, don't mention this regret in my heart. Volley let out a cold sweat, he didn't dare to bet on whether the blades in the hands of these ghost soldiers could really hurt people. But now that the body is soaring in the air, facing the war knives held high in the hands of these ghost soldiers, it is impossible to dodge.
The little monkey saw Liu Xiaoge's tense situation and shouted, "Little brother, be careful ahead." It's a pity that this prompt came too late, if it could be three or five seconds in the morning, Liu Xiaoge would not have fallen into such a field. Compared with the little monkey's panic, Li Xinwen was much calmer, pulled out her pistol, omitted even aiming, and directly grabbed it.
The gunfire was like thunder in the silent main burial chamber, and a bullet grazed Liu Xiaoge's ear like a knife in the hand of a ghost soldier, and Liu Xiaoge only felt that his eardrum was shaken by the sound wave brought by the bullet. However, the other three people had no solution, and the bullet directly passed through the war knife in the ghost soldier's hand and hit the armor on the ghost soldier's body.
If the three of them didn't see everything that happened too quickly, the next scene would have been very clear to the three of them, the bullet seemed to be shooting in the air, directly through the armor of the ghost soldier and into the darkness behind, without a trace. Leaving Liu Xiaoge stunned, the battle knife fell down towards him.
