Chapter 4: The sarcophagus
"You can't sleep, you have to stay awake." Wei Lai kept reminding himself that there was too much fear outside, and this cave was also full of weirdness.
The glazed jade pendant lit up with a blue light, attracting Wei Lai's attention, and the faint light illuminated the cold in the cave, as if revealing a cool air.
Wei Lai didn't wear a shirt, he felt cold to the bones at this time, a gust of wind blew from outside, the dust was not blown, but Wei Lai's hair was blown up.
"Ghost blowing the lamp?"
Wei Lai's heart tightened, thinking of the legend that circulated **, it is said that ghosts are afraid of fire, and when they want to get close to people, they must blow out the lights around them.
And there are three lights on the human body, representing a person's spirit and blood. Those who are vigorous are like daylight, and all evils do not invade, and those who are decaying are like sparks, and they are riddled with bad luck.
Among them, a person who goes out a lamp will be sick and weak. A person with two lights out will be delirious and act strangely. The body and soul of a person whose three lights are all extinguished are separated, leaving only one breath to penetrate yin and yang.
Wei Lai believes in science, and at the same time believes in the existence of ghosts, because ** is a living example, and there are many things in this world that cannot be explained by science.
The temperature in the cave was getting lower and lower, and in the whirring wind, a whimpering sound slowly approached, approaching the place where Wei Lai was.
At this time, the glazed jade pendant in Wei Lai's hand was shining, and the blue light skyrocketed, illuminating the house with black green.
"Gah." Screams came from outside the cave, miserable.
Wei Lai's heart was tense, his heart was full of fear, and the sudden scream seemed to pierce his eardrums, causing Wei Lai to lose his hearing for a short time.
When Wei Lai's hearing gradually recovered, the entire cave calmed down, and the strange atmosphere just now seemed to have never appeared at all.
Wei Lai was shocked, picked up the jade pendant in his hand and looked at it, there was definitely something unclean approaching just now, but he was driven away by this jade pendant.
The jade pendant is crystal clear, only the size of a finger cover, like the shape of an eye, and there is a drop of red liquid in it, like a squinted pupil, which is very mysterious.
"Good things, can they ward off evil spirits?" Wei Lai was like a treasure, if he hadn't had this jade pendant just now, maybe he would have been more than lucky.
"This hole is very weird, I'd better get out." Although I was scared outside, I was fortunate to be able to escape, and I could only sit and wait for death in the cave.
Wei Lai held the jade pendant in his hand, picked up the yellow scroll and the green scroll, and then looked at the stone bed inexplicably, and walked out of the cave.
"Quack."
When Wei Lai walked out, there was a sound under the stone bed, and then it shook.
The stone skin on the surface of the stone bed fell off, revealing the face inside, which was actually a black-red sarcophagus.
The sarcophagus is made of black and red stones, and the surface is inlaid with mysterious ancient patterns and veins, and various peculiar patterns of birds and beasts are listed on it.
At one end of the sarcophagus, two grimaces, one large and one small, are carved, which are strange and hideous.
When the sarcophagus returned to calm, two cold breaths came out of it, enveloping the entire stone chamber.
……
Wei Lai was extremely fast, and he didn't dare to stay in the stone room for the slightest, with a panicked look on his face.
"I was lying on the stone bed just now, and I actually felt a faint heartbeat below." Wei Lai arrived at the fork in the road, frightened, and now he just wanted to leave the cave.
Looking at the two caves of the same size, one of which was blowing with a cold wind, and the other was the entrance to the cave, Wei Lai hesitated.
"Fight." Wei Lai gritted his teeth and walked towards the cave where the cold wind was blowing.
Outside the cave, it has been completely lost, and it may be more dangerous to go out, and although the cave with the cold wind does not know where it leads, there is a glass to wear, and it can resist encountering unclean things.
Wei Lai clutched the glazed jade pendant in his hand, as long as the glazed jade pendant had a cyan reaction, there must be something unclean in front of him, so he would withdraw decisively.
Wei Lai just wanted to get out of here now, although he had seen ghosts, but what he experienced this night was so strange that he almost collapsed.
First it was a ghost hand, and then it was **, and then it met the blue-eyed yellow fairy, and the heartbeat under the stone bed just now was even more terrifying, and now when I walk up to this cave, I don't know what terrifying things will appear.
"Was it deliberately arranged?" Wei Lai thought in his heart, and then decisively vetoed it, it is impossible for anyone to control everything, even if there is, then the other party can still be a human being.
The cave was like a tunnel, Wei Lai walked a long way, except that the wind was getting stronger and stronger, there was no change at all, and the glass pendant in his hand did not light up.
"No, I've already walked through here." Although the environment inside the cave was similar, Wei Lai could discern subtle differences.
Wei Lai panicked, looking at the quiet cave in front of him, it felt like an endless abyss, if he didn't think of a way, maybe he would be trapped in the cave.
"Damn, you can't suffocate to death." Wei Lai had an idea, unfolded the yellow scroll, and then tore it into tiny strips of cloth.
Suddenly, a surge of urine hit, and Wei Lai simply poured his urine onto the strip of cloth.
"Wei Daguan is also a virgin, and the boy's urine can also be regarded as a thing to ward off evil spirits, as long as I can go out, let me drink it."
Wei Lai picked up the strip of cloth, the smell of the smell stimulated his sense of smell, he endured the nausea, tied the strip of cloth in place, and walked forward.
"Sure enough, it's back to where it was." Wei Lai saw the strip of cloth that appeared in front of him, his forehead was beating, and he almost fainted. "After walking in a big circle, I was actually spinning in place."
"However, if you go around in circles, you should be able to see the first two forks in the road. That is, this cave has changed? When Wei Lai thought of this, his whole body trembled, and a chill came out of his heart.
"No, you can't give up." Wei Lai plucked up his courage and walked with both hands touching the wall, if he was trapped in the cave, he would only wait for death.
When touching the wall, the seemingly smooth wall is very rough, with many interlaced branches coiled around the wall, as if it were dense blood vessels.
"Is this a mural?" Wei Lai opened the branches, revealing pictures inside.
The walls are painted with monsters of various patterns, there are ancient warlocks teaching in the open altar, there are blue-faced weasels sitting cross-legged, there are black and white impermanence being ordered to seduce spirits, and there are bull-headed horses dragging imps......
These portraits are not afraid at all in normal times, but when you are in the deep mountains and ancient caves that you can't get out, you will be full of infinite fear, and even have a mental breakdown.
Wei Lai felt that the mural was recording things, and he couldn't help but look at it, and when he opened a branch, a pale face suddenly appeared, with a strange smile on his hideous face, and his green eyes stared at him.
The pale face was very familiar, and the green eyes seemed to have some kind of magic, and Wei Lai's mind was full of these eyes, and more and more, becoming dense.
Wei Lai's eyes widened, his spirit collapsed instantly, and he fainted as soon as it was dark in front of him.
The sudden fright was beyond Wei Lai's tolerance limit, and in this case, even if he was scared to death, it was not too much.
In Wei Lai's vague consciousness, he finally discovered why this face was so familiar, because this hideous face was his own, and those green eyes were someone else's.
