Chapter 23: Torture and Soul Locking
Seeing that Yang Yi was a little hesitant, Uncle Li smiled and walked in first, and Yang Yi had to follow in.
Due to the use of Uncle Li's bronze mirror as a light source, Yang Yi quickly adapted to the environment in the tomb, and saw that the tomb was about the size of a basketball court, surrounded by completely red stone slabs, and there were strange symbols painted on it, which formed a strong contrast with the exquisite murals outside.
In the center of the burial chamber, there is a raised stone platform on which a large coffin of rosewood is placed.
On the ground on either side of the coffin, there were large skulls and human bones scattered on top of each other, looking like an unexposed mass grave.
Of course, on the walls on the north and south sides of the coffin, there is a recessed closet-like space, in which are placed permanent lamps and some bright vessels such as incense burners and bells, but they have long been rusted and mottled, and it is impossible to tell whether they are gold and silver, or copper and iron.
"One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, it seems that the master in this coffin is a big man who leads soldiers to fight." Uncle Li took out a piece of talisman paper, lit it in the wind, and then lit the everlasting lamp in the tomb, and after looking at the layout of the tomb, he sighed.
"Hehe, you don't need to say this, you can see the murals outside, I said, didn't we come down to find the snake demon, but I see how your posture seems to be upside down?" Yang Yi looked at Uncle Li, who was lingering in the tomb, and muttered a little in his heart, so he asked bluntly.
"You don't understand, there's a lot of mystery in this." Uncle Li looked at the coffin and said thoughtfully.
"Boy, do you think there's something wrong in this tomb?" Uncle Li suddenly asked.
"I didn't see anything, it's just that there is a little bit of a bright weapon, and there are no strange insects like corpses, and there is a little less gloomy atmosphere, hehe" Yang Yi doesn't know anything about ancient tombs, and the only bit of knowledge is from tomb robbery notes, how can you see that something is wrong, so he casually made a joke.
"It's not spooky enough, is it?" Uncle Li listened to Yang Yi's words, turned his head sideways, smiled strangely at him, and then took out two leaves from his sleeve and handed them to Yang Yi, "Come, wipe your eyes, Uncle will let you open your eyes." ”
Yang Yi didn't know what medicine was sold in Uncle Li's gourd, but because he had been in this tomb for a while, nothing had happened, and he was psychologically relaxed, so he took the two leaves that were quite tough to the touch, wiped them on his eyes casually, and then looked at Uncle Li and said with a smile: "It's finished, what, how...... Uncle, the white bone spirit! ”
Yang Yi threw away the two leaves, and hid behind Li Shu'er in one step, and at the same time, half of his head poked out from Li Shu'er's shoulder with a white face, and pointed to the pile of skeletons on the ground that stood up in a flash and formed a human form and began to move, his lips trembled: "It, what are they!" ”
It's no wonder that Yang Yi was so scared, just after he wiped his eyes with the two mugwort leaves, his eyes were a little astringent at first, and his vision was slightly blurred, but he immediately felt that the tomb suddenly brightened, and then he saw that under the scattered white bones on the ground, there were countless gray translucent figures attached, and when Yang Yi's eyes touched the eyes of those gray figures, the middle of the heads of those gray figures suddenly cracked - they were laughing at Yang Yi, It's just that the smile is no different from the scene of a crocodile opening its bloody mouth in front of a wildebeest, which is maddening!
But what made Yang Yi even more heartbroken was that after laughing, those gray figures were like puppets, sticking those skeletons and white bones to their translucent and sticky bodies according to the growth position of human bones, and then holding the radius, shins, and ribs of those white bones like a prank...... Step by step, they gathered around Yang Yi and Uncle Li.
This is the whole reason why Yang Yi was so scared that he almost dropped the egg.
Imagine, in a dusty and dark ancient tomb, suddenly see a group of ghost-like figures* with glowing corpses walking towards you, no matter how bold you are, I am afraid you will have to scream or simply roll your eyes and "quack" over, this is an instinctive reaction of the human body to protect itself, it doesn't matter if you are bold or bold.
Therefore, at this time, Yang Yi had no self-esteem at all, and he grabbed Uncle Li'er's clothes and did not let go of them, just like a young naughty boy.
"Shameful thing, a few spirits will scare you like this, if you really run into a snake demon, I fucking care about you or catch demons, hey." Seeing that Yang Yi was so unsuccessful, Uncle Li rubbed the fire a little, and dragged Yang Yi out from behind, "They are all the spirits of those people and animals who accompany the funeral, and they are sealed here, because they have souls and no souls, they have no consciousness and memory, and they are reluctant to give up on the flesh, so they dance with those bones every day, just like playing with toys, so, they are not harmless to you, are they a little out of luck?" ”
Hearing what Uncle Li said, Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, walked out from behind Uncle Li with a frown, and laughed at himself: "Why didn't you say it earlier, this guy scared me so much, and my period was gone, hehe"
Uncle Li glanced at Yang Yi coldly, and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Don't you think it's strange, a person has three souls and seven spirits, the soul lives in good, and the soul is evil, if a person dies normally, after the first seven souls return to the night, the three souls and seven spirits will be sent by ghosts or messengers to the underworld to wait for falling into the six realms of reincarnation, but why do these yin spirits in front of them only have spirits but no souls?" ”
Uncle Li'er's voice looked ghostly in the empty tomb, and to Yang Yi's ears, its lethality was definitely no less than those gray spirits in front of him, his liver trembled, trembling and trembling!
But what is strange is that after hearing Uncle Li'er's words, those spirits suddenly stopped, and looked at the slippery and greasy face with a confused look, suddenly, those gray spirits seemed to be crazy, and after emitting a burst of terrible screams one after another, they began to fly back and forth in the tomb like meteors, and threw the bones stuck to the spirits in all directions, and almost hit Uncle Li and Yang Yi a few times.
"Leave them alone, they don't have three souls, it's like a severed snake head can still bite someone, it's just an instinctive reaction, and it's quiet for a while." Uncle Li was indifferent to the crazy actions of those spirits, pulled Yang Yi to squat down to avoid the white bones like stray bullets, and then moved towards the coffin step by step.
"Boy, uncle told you, from ancient times to the present, this kind of tomb is not a prince and general, that is, a rich businessman, there must be a layer outside the main coffin, called a coffin, or coated with a slurry made of glutinous rice juice mixed with triple soil, in order to prevent the evil qi from outside from entering the coffin, causing the corpse, of course, there is also the purpose of embalming, but the most important thing is that I am afraid of hedging with anger and evil qi and arousing the corpse ......"
"What's the corpse?" Yang Yi asked.
"It's just that the dead body turns into a zombie, zongzi, understand?" Uncle Li replied with a solemn face.
Yang Yi's whole body tightened, and the urge to urinate became thicker.
As soon as Uncle Li looked up, he saw that those spirits were flying non-stop, frowned, and took out a stack of paper money printed with copper coin patterns from his arms, lit it and threw it on the ground.
Those spirits were crowded in a corner of the tomb, entangled with each other, biting and fighting, but finally they no longer flew around, delaying Li Shu'er and Yang Yi to work.
"Why do they love money so much? Could it be that they were the ones who opened the door just now? Yang Yi looked at the spirits who were competing for paper money, and was very puzzled, and suddenly remembered that Uncle Li was also after burning the paper money just now, and the stone door of the tomb suddenly opened, it seems that it should also be the purpose of these spirits who collect money and eliminate disasters with others.
"They should have been eunuchs in their lifetime, and collecting money is their only pleasure, so it is difficult to change after death, hehe" Uncle Li laughed and motioned for Yang Yi to help remove the lid of the coffin.
Yang Yi put his hands against the corner of the coffin lid, and pushed hard, the coffin lid, which was as heavy as iron, was slowly removed, and a choking smell of corpses came to his face, which stimulated Yang Yi to sobble and cough profusely.
Forcibly enduring the nausea, Yang Yi mentioned the power of the dantian, pushed the coffin lid half open, and it was difficult to push it again.
Uncle Li saw that Yang Yi was blushing and his neck was thick, and waved his hand so that he didn't have to work in vain, so he immediately picked up the everlasting lamp and shone it into the coffin, and suddenly his face changed, and he let out an "ah".
Yang Yi saw that Uncle Li'er's expression was different, and he was curious, so he also stood on the stone platform, leaned over and glanced into the coffin, and in an instant, his breathing stopped: I saw that in the foul-smelling coffin, it was covered with criss-crossing thick iron chains, and under the iron chains, a burly dried corpse was lying face down in the coffin, and at the neck of the dried corpse, a black coffin nail was nailed straight down from the neck.
In addition to this, two patina daggers were crossed on either side of the corpse's neck, looking as if they were performing some kind of mysterious ritual before death or beheading.
"As expected," Uncle Li glanced at the shape of the dried corpse in the coffin and sighed, "Boy, it seems that Lu Jingtian's old fox didn't tell the truth to our masters, he actually knew about the ancient tomb below, and hid the entrance to this tomb in his bedroom, but he kept silent, you say, is this strange thing?" ”
"Uncle, what do you mean, I'm a little blindsided." Yang Yi saw that Uncle Li's face had become ugly, and he didn't know the reason, so he asked bluntly.
"The deceased in this coffin must have been a murderous and powerful character before his death, and because of this, after death, he will be subjected to this kind of evil art of torture and soul locking, trapping his three souls and seven spirits in his body, but he cannot be reincarnated, and can only be tortured forever in this cold and dark coffin, what kind of deep hatred and hatred is this, and he will be poisoned by this damage to yin virtue and yang longevity to the deceased?" Uncle Li sighed a little desolately, but his eyes suddenly lit up, and his complexion changed greatly.
