Wuxia Coffin Mountain Chapter 49 Walking by candle at night
Shirley Yang, Sun Jiuye and others also don't remember that there was such a situation in the "Picture", it should be impossible to take it wrong, could it be that when they entered the ancient tomb and the yin house, the vision appeared in the painting?
Shirley Yang shook the torch in his hand, and the ghost in the "Picture" also flickered, and everyone woke up: "In ancient paintings, it has been depicted with a cuttlefish pen, and these ghosts and ghosts will only be visible in the firelight. ”
Sun Jiu Ye gasped: "Where is the immortal mansion?" It's simply a ghost cave area, and there must be some terrifying things in the Earth Immortal Tomb, but it's just ...... Why did Feng Shigu hide this information in the painting? Does this imply any secrets? The people in Dixian Village have long since died, who is he left to see when he does this? -
When everyone saw the vision in the "Picture", they were all shocked and suspicious. What Professor Sun said is really good, but if you think about it deeply, although there are examples of fire taboos in the coffin mountain, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, it still mainly relied on lamps, candles and torches to illuminate in the dark. Several paintings depicted by the earth fairy himself have been hanging in the dark underground pavilion, and outsiders do not know what to do, so they will naturally watch with the lamp, presumably deliberately left for those who have the opportunity to enter the mountain in the future.
Tomb robbers in the past dynasties rarely use mineral light sources, although legend has it that in ancient times there were also people who used the luminous pearl to rob the tomb, but the luminous pearl is extremely precious and rare, and it is rare to see leisure, and can not detect the underground air quality and self-defense, so it is only a special case among the tomb robbers, and has never been widely circulated in official thieves and scattered thieves, and the grave digging is inseparable from the fire candle.
Dixian Feng Shi Gu left the "Guanshan Finger Mystery Fu" to the descendants of the Feng family, leaving a secret path that appears once in 12 years, so that they will have the opportunity to enter the ancient tomb in the future, which is also a big violation of common sense, most likely because Feng Shi Gu knows it well, knowing that there is no grave in the whole world, and no mausoleum in the world is always strong and always kept secret, even if it is not stolen and excavated by the inverted people, with the changes of mountains and rivers, it will be destroyed sooner or later.
Feng Shigu is so arranged, the depth of its scheming is really chilling in the bottom of the heart, the mystery of this earth immortal tomb is not "hidden", but a "out" word, when outsiders enter the coffin mountain, it is the time when the earth immortal comes out of the mountain. Not only Professor Sun, the descendant of the Feng family, but even our group of Captain Jin, are all "chess pieces" controlled and used by him, and they entered the ancient tomb with nine deaths, just to introduce the saint to the earth immortal Feng Shi Gujie. Knowing that entering the underworld in the belly of the corpse vein, we will definitely encounter accidents, but the situation is compelling, we have to go to the abyss step by step like those who were buried before, the only difference is that we know that this is very likely to be a dead end with no return.
At this time, I only heard the sound of biting the rotten wood in the distance of the tomb road gradually approaching, and the countless coffin insects drilled around after entering the Dixian Village, chasing the rotten qi and moving, there were many copper coffins and iron coffins in the ancient tombs, and there were no gaps to enter, but some lacquered wooden coffins were inevitably gnawed by them along with the coffin and corpse.
Our group of people have been contaminated with a lot of obscure corpse qi in the underground palace of the Black Sheep King, and Sun Jiuye's condition is even stricter, I still haven't figured out whether he is dead or alive, and even suspect that he will "mutate" at any time, so we have all become the target of activities to attract nearby coffin insects at this moment.
In fact, although the corpse insects and coffin insects and other things are terrifying, they may not be able to resist them, and the most terrifying and headache at the moment is the Nine Deaths Tomb Armor, once it penetrates the wall of the coffin mountain, it is bound to smash the Dixian Village and the headless corpse veins, and under the nest, there are no eggs? At that time, whether it is the ancient corpse in the Yin Mansion or the living person in the ancient tomb, the jade will be burned.
I stared at the "Picture of the Mountain and the Mansion" for a while, and several thoughts turned in my mind one after another, but there was no good way to get out, and now I can't blame the shape of the class struggle for being too complicated, I can only blame my own thinking for being too paralyzed.
Shirley Young reminded me, "We're running out of torches, and we can't afford to delay too much in a mansion full of crevices." ”
I gritted my back molars, thinking that it would be impossible to get out this time, it was a big deal to fight to the end, and with mental preparation, my heart was much more steady, so I said to everyone: "The Dixian Village in the Coffin Mountain and the ancient tombs below it are all connected, and only the Dixian Tomb in the belly of the Corpse Mountain is relatively independent. Judging from the map, we are not far from the Earth Immortal Tomb, or according to the previous plan, no matter what is inside, we have to venture into the tomb and find a way to find out the body of Feng Shigu and burn it to prevent future troubles. ”
Sun Jiuye was a little in a trance, Feng Shigu's "Guanshan Finger Mystery Fu", as if it was a spell that hooked people's souls, blinded Feng Shiqi and his descendants for hundreds of years, and now he faintly felt that this was a conspiracy, he did not advocate entering the earth immortal tomb now, and regretted that he did not plan well, and he should have collapsed this mountain directly with explosives from the outside.
The fat man scolded: "Don't dream again, if you want to blow up so many mountains in Coffin Gorge, how many military-grade high explosives do you need?" Where are you stinky intellectuals?" Immediately stretched out his hand and dragged Sun Jiuye, who was squatting on the ground, up, and dragged him to the front of the tomb, while saying to him: "Strengthen discipline, invincible, don't you understand?" Sun Laojiu, you must be right to listen to the highest instructions of the fat master and Lao Hu, hurry up and let me go. ”
I also beckoned, called Shirley Yang and my sister, everyone shook the torches in their hands, went straight forward along the tomb road, referred to the position in the map, turned around an iron rope hanging coffin of the Northern Song Dynasty tomb, and arrived at the edge of the Yin Mansion in Dixian Village, so far there are only three torches left in our hands that have not been extinguished.
In my carrying bag, there is still a can of fire oil fuel, which is enough to increase the fire and disperse the coffin insects that are pouring in from all directions, but I have doubts about whether the Guixu Ancient Mirror can suppress the Earth Immortal Sealing Master Gu, and I also hope to leave this fire oil as the last killer weapon, so I will never use it lightly, so I have to force my way through.
So I led everyone to push open the broken stone door at the exit of the secret passage, opened the way with torches, and threw myself out. Unexpectedly, the situation behind the village was very unexpected, thousands of coffin insects that were alarmed by copper erosion did not climb to the belly of the corpse-shaped mountain, and the strange atmosphere of secluded silence was still maintained here.
I fixed my mind, and saw that there was a huge monument on the hillside outside the village, and the stele was engraved with the six characters of "the star hall of the tomb of the earth immortals", and was engraved with exquisite star palace ornamentation, and there were stone carvings of spirit beasts on the tablet. I wanted to see what was ahead, so I climbed to the top of the monument and looked around from a high place.
I saw that there were several arc-shaped shallow ditches in the abdomen of the corpse-shaped mountain, and every dozen steps, there was a burly and tall one-legged bronze man, the bronze man was naked, and his appearance was seven points like a ghost, and three points were like a person. Their faces were terrified and terrifying, their eyes were wide open, and the yang flint kept gushing out of their mouths, flowing in the stone trough in the ditch, like a dark red river of blood winding and circulating, blocking all the coffin insects crawling from all around. Although Yang Sui is a cold mineral and has no heat of its own, it is enough to make the coffin insects who are afraid of light dare not take half a step beyond the thunder pool.
It is located on the mountain in the middle of several circular Sui River, traps a deep ravine formed by a mountain crevice, the wall is embedded with a plank road, and there are several archways that cross the air on both sides, the eaves and bucket pillars, the height is staggered, and it looks like the weather is extraordinary. The earth fairy depicted in the "Picture" should be at the bottom of this deep ravine.
I returned to the bottom of the stele and beckoned everyone to jump over the surging trough of the sun. Everyone temporarily got rid of the coffin worm chasing after them, and their hearts were a little more stable, but they walked to the front of the archway to the deep ravine of Pangu's corpse vein, and saw that it was dark inside, the silence was weird, and there was a sense of foreboding that they had just left the tiger's den and re-entered the wolf's den.
Although the younger sister is bold, what she has seen and encountered in the past few days is all the amazing and terrifying things that have passed from the edge of death, and it is inevitable that there are some six gods without masters. And the legend that the earth fairy deceived the living into the tomb for burial has been spread in Qingxi Town since ancient times, she looked at the bluestone plank road on the wall, like a green python winding into the depths of the cave, and she was even more panicked.
I had to give her some reassurance, while extinguishing the torch and replacing the last spare battery for the tactical spotlight, I told her that it was very unreliable for the Earth Immortal Sealing Master Gu to come up with the legend of the Shandu people. This person has been dead for many years, and his body is either stiff or rotten, at most he is a mummy, where can he become an immortal? In my life, I have traveled from south to north, and I have entered many ancient tombs, but I have never seen any corpse immortals in any mausoleum; Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Feng Shigu, the old landlord leader, really deceives the corpse and wants to go out of the mountain to harm people, it will never succeed, and I believe that history and the people will definitely not allow this kind of thing to happen.
The younger sister nodded, indicating that although she was too nervous, she could still follow the team. The fat man said: "You can rest assured, I think that if you want to die, it will be Sun Jiuye, the filial son and grandson of the Guanshan Feng family, who will return to the throne first, and when the time comes, we will have to pull the Guanshan Taibao of the whole group in the tomb to back us, and it will not be over if we don't mess up their matter." ”
Sun Jiu Ye shook his head helplessly: "It's all at this time, why do you still care about the speed of your tongue?" Then he said to me, "Don't be too picky, do you still have some oil to burn the ancient corpses in the tomb?" When the time comes, don't be reluctant to do it when you see the room full of bright weapons, don't hesitate to be soft, if the corpse fairy in the tomb really escapes from the coffin mountain, we will be in big trouble. ”
I was about to say, "I don't need to tell me about this, I know what is at stake." But suddenly I heard a burst of cracking sound from the rock formation above my head, and the cracking sound was endless, which shook people's ears and hurt.
Everyone subconsciously looked up, but first, the ground was dark, and second, the scarlet mist in the air was filled, and they couldn't see the situation in the rock formations at all. My sister said strangely: "This mountain is about to collapse? Shirley said, "No, the coffin mountain is an uncovered sarcophagus, as if the Nine Deaths Tomb Armor buried in the crust of the mountain is about to fall off." ”
Although no tomb robber has ever encountered the Nine Deaths Tomb Armor in the past thousand years, he has also heard of the sharpness of this object. This kind of underground plant that grows with a mixture of bronze and flesh is by no means something that three or five people can handle. The sound of the copper erosion blood armor struggling and wriggling in the rock formations sounded to our ears, like the roar of death, and every time we heard a cracking sound in the air, it was like pouring a basin of cold water on our bodies, and we couldn't help but be frightened, and the chill increased sharply.
We were worried that the Shocking Armor would appear from the dense fog at any time, so we didn't dare to stay too long on the surface of the corpse-shaped mountain, so we hurriedly wrapped Professor Sun and my sister in the middle, and walked down the stone steps embedded in the wall.
Above the Lingxing Hall is a deep ravine where the two walls confront each other, very narrow and steep, the ancient walls on both sides are as neat as the knife and axe, in the beam of the spotlight, you can clearly see the pulsating ups and downs of the rock layer in the stratum, but from a close point to watch, the soil is also full of jagged and convex places. There are many strangely shaped jade bibs buried in those places, the jade color is ancient, some are red, some are gloomy, are not modern things, most of them have been broken, according to the records in the "Guanshan Excavation Tibetan Biography", these jade artifacts are all sacrificial things buried in the coffin mountain during the witch and evil culture period.
I am reminded of the scene I saw earlier in the scroll, and it was through this path that the martyrs took to enter their graves. In the walls where the jade artifacts are buried, there are many ghostly shadows, but when you are in this place, you do not see the scene depicted in the "Figure". The rest of the people must have had this thought, and everyone felt that there was a chill behind them, as if an evil spirit was quietly following behind, and from time to time they looked back, and the deeper they went, the stronger the uneasiness became.
Shirley Yang suddenly remembered something, and she said to me: "In that picture, all the people are holding lanterns and torches, and we also light candles to see the black shadow hidden in the painting, perhaps this is to imply that in front of the Lingxing Temple, we can only see something that is usually invisible by the light of the fire." ”
My intuition also told me that there was indeed something buried in the rock and soil layers of the Pangea vein, probably the "ghosts" depicted in the painting, because I didn't know what it really was. It's hard to tell if we're going to walk deeper, and if we continue to walk deeper, we'll be met with something bad at any time, and as soon as Shirley Young said that, I'm going to light a candle to see what happens.
Anyway, lighting the lamp on the bright son is a common act of touching the golden captain, since I am in the belly of the mountain, there is no worry, I immediately felt out half of the candle, lit it in my hand, held the flame with the palm of my hand, and continued to walk down the stone steps slowly, while holding the candle to illuminate the rock wall around me.
The candlelight shining on the wall, reflecting the fragments of jade in a dripping light, is more magnificent and mysterious than looking under the miserable beam of tactical spotlights. The fat man saw it, and suddenly became greedy, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it, wanting to pick a few pieces of it as a souvenir.
Sun Jiuye was worried that there would be branches next to the fat man, but he had persuaded him many times before, but the result was that he was prevaricated by the fat man's strong words, so he had to change his way and stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "These jade artifacts as sacrifices are very evil, Wang Fatty, don't be greedy for a while, just mess around with these things, you want to fight for private criticism, you want to fight for private criticism!" ”
The fat man said with an innocent face: "The world is afraid of the word serious, fat man, I chiseled a few pieces of it and went home to study it carefully, to see where the evil of these jade is, is this also selfish?" ”
Sun Jiuye ran into a fat man, a person who was not rotten, even if it really made sense, it would be difficult to make sense. I saw that at this time, Sun Jiuye intended for me to come forward to emphasize the important principle of emphasizing "strengthening discipline", so I turned my head and pretended not to see it, and only focused on observing the stone wall under the candlelight, but I didn't find anything abnormal.
I took a few more steps down, but I heard the fat man and Sun Jiuye, who were arguing behind me, suddenly calm down at the same time, and I walked in front of Shirley Yang and Mi Mei'er The three of them quickly stopped, turned around to look at the situation behind them, and saw that the fat man and Sun Jiuye were stunned on the spot, staring at the rock formation motionlessly.
I stepped back to the top of the stone steps and glanced at the two of them, and it turned out that the fat man had struck the jade embedded in the wall with a sapper shovel, and the earth and stones fell from the shovel, exposing the contents of it. Inside the floating soil are whole pieces of ancient jade, stacked on top of each other to form a wall, and there seems to be a ghostly vague outline in the jade wall. When I held the candle and looked closer, the vague ghost suddenly became clear, and what was even more surprising was that it seemed to be tangible and insubstantial, and it could move in the wall. I felt a yin wind blowing in my face, and the candle in my hand shook twice, swaying and about to be extinguished.
I sensed a gust of wind coming towards me, and hurriedly put my hand on the candle flame that was about to be extinguished. Although the candlelight was covered, the tactical spotlight on the mountaineering helmet was still on, and when the beam shook, the fat man and Sun Jiuye and I could see it clearly. There are more than 108,000 sweat pores all over the body, all of which break out in cold sweat.
