Chapter 19: The Paper Man
"So powerful?" I widened my eyes and exclaimed.
Zhang Chaosheng nodded and said, "Yes, this secret weapon is called 'Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle'." ”
I was a little surprised at first when I heard the name, and then I thought about it in my heart, and it felt familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere. Wait, isn't this rainstorm pear flower needle the first Tang Sect in the world to use poison and hidden weapons?
"This is Tangmen's Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle?" My eyes flashed, and I said.
Ji Haishan also showed a smile on his cold face when he heard this, and he said, "It's a bit similar." ”
"Look at ......"
At this time, Zhang Chaosheng suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the end of the passage and said.
I quickly retracted my thoughts and moved my gaze to the end of the tunnel.
I saw a dark place at the end of the road, where the light of the lantern could not shine. What had been motionless in the darkness seemed to move.
I figured it out at once, it seems that Ji Haishan's hidden weapon has an effect.
After a while, I seemed to see the thing again as if it had fallen to the ground.
I felt inexplicably sad in my heart, and asked Ji Haishan, "You won't be killed by your secret weapon, will you?" ”
Could it be that this rainstorm pear blossom needle is so ferocious? I recalled the dozen or so cold lights that flashed in front of me just now, and I just need to make up for what kind of fate that thing would have if it shot at me, I was afraid that there would be a dozen or so blood holes in my body.
It's scary to think about it.
Ji Haishan didn't speak, but I saw that he didn't seem to look very good, with a hint of melancholy between his eyebrows.
I thought, what is the situation?
Then Zhang Chaosheng's old face shook slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Something is wrong, it may not be a living thing." ”
Hearing Zhang Chaosheng's words, not only me, but even the expression on Ji Haishan's face, which had always been indifferent, also changed at this moment.
"What do you mean it's possible that it's not a living thing?" I said with a shocked look on my face.
Zhang Chaosheng's eyes froze. said: "Anyway, I'm also guessing, let's go over and see first." ”
Ji Haishan's complexion eased a little this time.
I also think it makes sense, a lot of scary things are actually nothing, and they are all made up by their own brains.
Sometimes there are things in the tombs that aren't really that scary.
Ji Haishan walked in front, Zhang Chaosheng and I walked behind, and the three of them walked towards the end of the road step by step.
We walked there in a moment.
Zhang Chaosheng said to Ji Haishan on the side: "Haishan turned on the wolf's eye flashlight. ”
Ji Haishan nodded slightly, and held the turned on wolf-eye flashlight and shone it there.
My eyes were sharp, and I followed the bright light of the wolf's eyes, and I saw it clearly, only to see one on the ground, a person?
There's something on the ground that looks like a person, but it doesn't seem to be a person?
What's the situation?
Not only me, but even Ji Haishan and Zhang Chaosheng, the two Taishan Beidou in the Sand Exploration Realm, saw that the things on the ground also changed slightly.
I squatted down to look, and found that it was indeed a human lying on the ground, but it was not a living person, or rather, it was not a real person, it should be...... Paper Man.
That's right, it was a paper man lying upside down on the ground.
What the hell is going on, why is there a paper man here in this corridor?
I couldn't help but look at this paper man curiously, and found that this paper man was fine in workmanship, and his appearance was vivid. I thought to myself,
And what surprised me even more was that the face of this paper man was painted with a thick layer of makeup, the thin lips seemed to be smeared with rouge, and the white cheeks of the face were painted with a little bit of rouge-like things, so that it looked a little scary.
What makes my heart palpitate the most is that the eyes of this paper man are, yes, very real. It was like a real person's eyes, and my pores were terrifying.
Rao is a seasoned sand veteran, such as Ji Haishan, also felt a little numb when he saw this scene.
Ji Haishan glanced at the paper man on the ground, and then withdrew his gaze to look at Zhang Chaosheng.
Zhang Chaosheng waved his hand to signal Ji Haishan not to speak, but squatted down to look at the paper man, and after a while, Zhang Chaosheng said slowly: "This is a little tricky." ”
Ji Haishan didn't understand the meaning of Zhang Chaosheng's words, and immediately asked, "What is the situation with Zhang Lao?" ”
Zhang Chaosheng shook his head slightly, and only after taking a breath did he say: "This paper figure is a ...... of the Tang Dynasty."
When I heard this, I immediately looked surprised, and said directly: "This paper man is from the Tang Dynasty?" I thought it was because the local masters were afraid of being bored in the tomb, so they did some shadow puppets to pass the time. ”
When Ji Haishan heard my words, he immediately looked at me with a strange expression, and his expression obviously took me for a fool.
I was embarrassed for a while, and couldn't help but ask Zhang Chaosheng: "That Grandpa Zhang, you said that this is from the Tang Dynasty, this is too unbelievable, what material can be preserved for thousands of years?" ”
You must know that this paper man on the ground is very new, and it is not at all like a paper man who has been buried in the ground for thousands of years.
Zhang Chaosheng's face stiffened, and then he said coldly: "This is a zongzi." ”
"What?" My face twitched, and my heart was shocked: "This is a zongzi?" ”
I followed the direction pointed by Zhang Chaosheng and Old Man Zhang, and it was the paper figure lying on the ground.
This paper man is a zongzi?
I looked at Mr. Zhang and was speechless for a while. said in his heart, this Chaosheng can't be an old and confused person, right?
I hurriedly said: "Old man, this is a paper man......"
When Zhang Chaosheng heard my words, he reacted very much, twisted his head and glared at me, and his tone was a little stiff.
"Do you still need to remind me, a junior? Although I am old, I am not yet dazzled. ”
Ji Haishan knew Zhang Chaosheng very well, and he knew that this old man who looked old was a ruthless person when he was young.
I was glared at by Zhang Chaosheng, and immediately fell silent.
"This paper man is indeed a zongzi." Zhang Chaosheng didn't explain to us, but looked at Ji Haishan: "Haishan quickly take the fire and burn this paper." Otherwise, when you suck us a little yang, the paper man will come back to life, and it will be dangerous at that time. ”
What the?
This paper-skin man can inhale yang energy, and he can still come back to life after inhaling yang energy?
That's an exaggeration, isn't it?
Ji Haishan was extremely convinced by Zhang Chaosheng's words, and he didn't ask much, took out the lighter and burned the paper man. The flames burned, and the paper figures on the ground began to emit real black smoke.
The black smoke was strange and abnormal, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised when I looked at the paper figure in the firelight. In a trance, I even thought that it was not a paper figure that was burned, but a thousand-year-old corpse.
The light of the fire slowly dimmed, and the paper-skin figure looked like a blackened corpse.
Seeing this scene, I realized that this is really not as simple as paper skin, maybe it is really as old man Zhang said, this paper skin man is a zongzi.
Rao is Ji Haishan, who has seen a big scene, was also shocked at this moment after seeing this scene.
Zhang Chaosheng looked at the paper figure in the firelight with cold eyes, and it was not until the firelight was about to be extinguished that Zhang Chaosheng said to us: "Let's go." It's almost burned, and it can't be made into zongzi anymore. ”
When he left, Ji Haishan still asked Zhang Chaosheng suspiciously: "Old Zhang, you said this is not very strange, why are there paper people on the road?" ”
Zhang Chaosheng's face was not very good-looking, and his voice was even more hoarse than before.
"This is because this ancient tomb has a cave or burial chamber dedicated to paper figures." Zhang Chaosheng survived this, took a breath, and then continued: "It is possible that the owner of this tomb was very fond of watching shadow puppets during his lifetime, and even after his death, he also wanted to let shadow puppets accompany him. ”
Ji Haishan nodded when he heard this.
As I was listening, I couldn't help but interject: "Then why is this paper-skin man here in Yongdao?" ”
Zhang Chaosheng looked back at me and said coldly: "Isn't this simple? It's because this paper-skin man ran to the ...... of Yongdao by himself" (To be continued.) )
