Chapter 11: The Tomb Master's Ghost

"Then can you teach me what kind of trick to borrow Suzaku from?"

Seeing this magical method displayed by the Yin Lord, Huo Xiaolu was very blushing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoHe didn't care if he would turn into a big bird, he just wanted to learn this powerful and practical technique.

The Yin Lord also agreed: "Okay, this is easy to say." It's just that this kind of magic is very troublesome to learn, so let's wait until the matter here is over. Huo Xiaolu naturally nodded in agreement.

The trio turned their gaze to the tomb on the left. The tomb in front of him didn't look any different from the one in front, which made Huo Xiaolu complain: "Why did this prince build so many identical tombs?" I'm getting tired of aesthetics. ”

Huo Liuli chuckled: "Maybe this is also a kind of mechanism, using the same mechanism scene to give the intruder an alternative psychological pressure." ”

At this time, the Yin Lord suddenly said, "Do you think there is anything wrong around here? ”

"Huh? What's wrong? Huo Xiaolu didn't know why, so he looked around and didn't see anything wrong. Huo Liuli's face was also full of doubts, and he didn't find anything abnormal.

The Yin Lord's expression was very solemn, mixed with some puzzlement, and he said to the two of them, "Do you smell anything here?" ”

Hearing this, Huo Liuli and Huo Xiaolu both sniffed carefully the smell in the air. After all, this is a tomb, although the Yin Lord has penetrated the soil layer to let fresh air rush in, but there is still a faint smell of decay and vicissitudes between breaths. I hadn't noticed it before, but when I sniffed it so closely, it seemed that there was indeed a strange smell in the air that was not easy to detect.

Closing his eyes and carefully feeling the smell he smelled, Huo Xiaolu opened his eyes, and his expression was a little puzzled: "This smell...... How can I say it......"

Huo Liuli on the side also opened his eyes, his face full of incredulity: "This, it can't be that I feel wrong, right?" ”

Huo Xiaolu asked her, "Senior sister, what do you smell?" I can't tell the smell a little. ”

Huo Liuli didn't speak directly, but looked at the Yin Lord: "Did I feel wrong?" ”

The Yin Lord shrugged: "There shouldn't be." ”

Watching the two of them play dumb riddles, Huo Xiaolu was a little anxious in his heart, and asked, "What is it?" Tell me quickly. ”

After a deep groan, Huo Liuli said, "If I don't feel wrong, this should be formaldehyde." ”

"Formaldehyde? Isn't that inside the paint, could it be that the tomb was painted when it was built? As soon as these words came out, Huo Xiaolu himself felt funny.

However, Huo Liuli did not smile, she said: "Of course, there can be no paint in it, and formaldehyde does not only exist in paint. ”

Huo Xiaolu was curious: "But I only know this, what else?" ”

The Lord explained to him: "Formaldehyde can be used for many purposes, including pesticides, wood processing and textiles. Even if you don't know this, you've definitely heard of its aqueous solution. ”

"What?"

"Formalin."

Huo Xiaolu's eyelids jumped: "Preservatives? By the way, this smell can't be this thing, right? …… No wonder I feel a little impressed. ”

But after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, he felt that something was wrong: "No, this is the tomb of the Qing Dynasty, how can there be formalin?" Could it be that formalin was used to prevent corpses from decomposing during the Qing Dynasty? ”

Huo Liuli frowned and said: "This is what I think is wrong, I haven't heard of where formalin will be used for embalming when buried, these ancient magnates generally use pearls to press their mouths to ensure that the corpse does not rot, I have never seen such a scientific and advanced ah." ”

After thinking about it carefully, Huo Xiaolu also felt that it was impossible, but he didn't know how to explain the smell here, so he guessed: "Could it be that someone has already come in before us, and this formalin is what they brought to preserve the ancient corpse?" ”

The Yin Lord shook his head and denied his conjecture: "The mechanism of this tomb was intact when we came, and there was no trace of excavation of the soil here, so it is impossible for someone to get to the tomb first. I think this smell is from the tomb. ”

As soon as these words came out, Huo Xiaolu was taken aback: "No, this is just a carpenter prince, and he still knows such advanced scientific knowledge?" Moreover, there was already formalin in the Qing Dynasty? ”

"That shouldn't be there yet, so I think it's weird." The Yin Lord said. Even though it was his first time entering the tomb, he knew that this was unusual because he had no experience, so he stopped.

Seeing that the almighty Yin Lord couldn't make up his mind at this time, Huo Xiaolu also began to beat the drum in his heart, and he could only ask, "Then what should I do next?" Moving on? ”

At this time, Huo Liuli spoke: "I think let's go back first, the situation here is a bit weird now, I'm afraid that if I go further, there will be other dangers." ”

The Yin Lord also felt that something was not quite right here, so he agreed: "Okay then, let's go back first and discuss it to see if there is any way." ”

The dust rose and the three disappeared in place.

After the Yin Lord waited for the three of them to leave, peace returned to this underground tomb. But this calm lasted only a short time before it was broken.

I saw that the wall behind the door of the fourth tomb was silently twisted at some point, like a crumpled surface of water, rippling. At the same time, a low roar sounded.

"Smack." A sound sounded, and on the ground in front of the wall, a pair of black boots appeared. It looks like a simple style, covered with luxurious and auspicious patterns, and also embedded with two heavy pearls, which looks like a pair of beautifully crafted court boots.

"Heh......" With this beastly whisper, the light of the pearls in the tombs on both sides dimmed for some reason, and in a trance, I could only see a not very tall figure standing in front of the wall, and the wall behind it had undulating bulges everywhere, as if something was struggling to get out of it.

The light of the pearl was finally extinguished, and no one knew what was going to happen next.

And Huo Xiaolu and the others, who didn't know anything about it, had already started preparing lunch in their camp. Although Huo Xiaolu, who had just eaten breakfast, was not hungry, he was still very diligent in helping the two. Soon, a simple but delicious three dishes and one soup were placed on the tablecloth.

Although there was no hunger in his stomach, Huo Xiaolu still couldn't hold back looking at the steaming meal, holding a sea bowl and stuffing his mouth to the brim.

While eating, Huo Liuli asked the Yin Lord: "What do you think of today's events, I think something is quite wrong." ”

The Yin Lord nodded: "That's right, in such a tomb that no one has ever entered, there is a smell of formalin, how do you think about it, how do you feel weird." But I don't have a clue yet, so let's talk about it when I think about it, and we won't go down for the next two days. ”

Huo Xiaolu over there nodded hurriedly, he was a normal living person, and he really felt awkward in that kind of dead man's residence. Now that I don't need to go down for the time being, I naturally raise my hands and agree.

The days in winter are really short, and before you know it, the sun goes down and the night comes.

I don't know what's going on today, as soon as it gets dark, Huo Xiaolu feels that his upper eyelids and lower eyelids are starting to fight, and he can't stop being sleepy. Although I don't know why he is sleepy so early at night when he sleeps during the day, it is okay to go to bed early now, and if he sleeps full, his schedule and rest will be normal the next day.

Because he was worried about whether he would be sick, Huo Liuli also specially checked his body. After noticing anything abnormal, seeing that he was too sleepy to open his eyes, he let him go to sleep.

fell over the blanket, and Huo Xiaolu fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow. Although he himself wondered why he was so sleepy today, it didn't stop him from dreaming.

It was still early, and Huo Liuli and the Yin Lord lit the fire and talked about something in a whisper together. The stars in the sky were so big and bright that they looked like pearls on the top of the catacombs, and it felt as if the sky had become a little shorter. The winter night was quiet, with no chirps or insects, only the occasional crackling of the fire and the whispering of a man and a woman.

The whole world was quiet and peaceful, but Huo Xiaolu inside the tent was sweating profusely, his eyes were closed, and his teeth were clenched at the same time, as if he had had some nightmare.

He originally had a sweet dream, in the dream, he returned to Z University and saw Yi Ran, the two of them met and had endless thoughts, and Yi Ran was also gentle and lovely, and there were endless love words in his mouth, which made Huo Xiaolu feel like a fluttering fairy. However, just when the sweetness of the two was thick, the painting style in his dream suddenly changed.

Huo Xiaolu inadvertently glanced at Yi Ran in his arms, but he was so frightened that the three souls and seven spirits were out of his body, and he hurriedly pushed her away.

Where he is holding is a youthful and beautiful easy to dye, but a shriveled zombie with a thin body! Huo Xiaolu recognized it at a glance, the purple python robe, the cloak was scattered, this was clearly the zombie he dreamed of before entering the tomb for the first time! It's just that I don't know why, but this time I actually dreamed of it again.

At this time, Huo Xiaolu was very awake, and with the experience of the last time, he knew that he was dreaming, but there was no way to wake up. He steadied himself as he stared at the ugly zombie while anxiously waiting for him to wake up.

But unexpectedly, after the zombie was pushed away by him, it lay straight on the ground and didn't get up, looking like a strange-shaped puppet. Huo Xiaolu waited for a long time and didn't see any movement, so he decided to go over and take a look.

Slowly walking to the zombie's side and squatting down, Huo Xiaolu reached out and wanted to turn over the zombie lying on the ground. He was very worried in his heart, afraid that it would suddenly burst out and hurt people. Although it was in a dream, he couldn't help but be nervous about such a real scene.

It's just that there was another accident when he stretched out his hand. Before he could touch the zombie, he felt a light under him, and the whole person fell involuntarily.

The ground seemed to have disappeared, and Huo Xiaolu was caught off guard at all. He fell so fast that he could only lean on his back, shaking his limbs in vain in the whirring wind, struggling weakly. What frightened him even more was that there was a hoarse and terrible voice from below, which sounded like rusty clockwork, and it sounded extremely harsh.

"Dare to break into the underworld of this king's underworld, the junior is so daring! So, stay with the king. ”
