Wuxia Coffin Mountain Chapter 27 Corpse Worms

Something suddenly jumped on the surface of the lake, and although we were on guard on the "assault boat", we did not expect to encounter such a situation, so we all clenched the "sapper shovel" and raised the flashlight at the same time.

A few beams of light swept in the air, I looked up with everyone, not to see everything disappear, a sight, my heart was really surprised and strange, opened my mouth for a long time and couldn't close it, surprised that it was a "fish" that jumped from the lake to four or five meters, the fish jumped out of the water is a common phenomenon, but this fish is not alive, but a dead fish three meters long, this big fish has begun to rot, fishy, the fish belly has broken several big holes, and the fish head is missing half of it. The skull is white and flowery.

The strange thing is that after the dead fish corpse left the water, it was stagnant in mid-air, everyone was surprised and inexplicable, at this time the two lacquer coffins floated along the water, and it was a little closer, which was more real, the original rotten dead fish was covered with countless strange black flies, the black flies were as big as fingernails, all of them were firmly attached to the dead fish, and after being frightened, they jumped out of the water wrapped in the fish corpse, noisy and messy, and the rot accumulated on the body of those huge black flies. With a lot of phosphides, it flies like a faint and faint firefly, and it seems like a thousand ghost eyes that are changing brightly and disappearing.

This kind of black fly has a scientific name as "big ghoul fly", although the name has a "fly" word, it is actually a kind of "corpse insect", most like to eat carrion, sometimes in the barren grave where the corpse is exposed, there will also be traces of the ghoul fly, but this biological habit is special, never touching living creatures, and will not pose any threat to living people.

When I used to be in Panjiayuan. I once heard a story about corpse insects, saying that before the liberation, there was a folk thief Ma Wuzi, who was a perennial thief of the tomb of the lantern, usually only digging some small graves of the landlord and the rich, and exchanging the jewelry and silver dollars of the tomb owner from the burial for some food and drink, and never made a fortune, and lived a barely good life.

Until one day, Ma Wuzi dug a grave in a mass grave ridge and accidentally found a tomb of the Song Dynasty, which contained a lot of valuable things. Ma Wuzi lived for more than thirty years, he had never seen so many bright weapons, only he was a thief who couldn't finish moving, he knew that if this matter was known to outsiders, it would definitely cause trouble, so he rolled up a few of the most valuable gold jewelry and jade, and the rest of the things were intact, planning to wait until the future when the hand was tight, and then come to find out the emergency.

When he was leaving, he suddenly saw a corpse insect drill out of the crack of the coffin, Ma Wuzi pinched the corpse worm casually, at that time, the ghost made a god, and I don't know what he thought, so he took out a piece of oil paper from his arms, which was used to wrap the pig's head meat, and used it to wrap the corpse worm and stuff it into the brick crack of the tomb, he probably wanted to suffocate the corpse worm alive.

Then Ma Wuzi covered the thief cave and returned to the town to exchange the Ming utensils for money. bought a house and lived a rich life, married a wife and had children, and when Ma Wuzi's son was a teenager, both of them became addicted to gambling. As the saying goes, "gambling on immortals for a long time loses", let alone these two ordinary people?

Winning or losing gambling money is like filling a well with snow, and there are no days of dissatisfaction, but the addiction is endless. lost his soul and went bankrupt, and Ma Wuzi saw that there were only four walls left in his home. Remembering that there were still many treasures in the ancient tomb that was stolen before, he took his son to steal them again, and the two of them found their way into the ancient tomb, Ma Wuzi coldly remembered that he had wrapped the corpse insect in the crack of the wall more than ten years ago, and I don't know if it was dust at this time? I searched for it from the same place, and when I found it, I really found it, and the oiled paper bag was untouched, so I opened it and took a look. The corpse worm was withered and shriveled, almost turning into a piece of paper.

But the insect limbs and worm whiskers still seem to be lifelike, he and his son are curious, take it to the front and look carefully, but forget the taboo of robbing the cemetery, the living do not wait to breathe on the dead and untransformed, the yang touches, the corpse insect suddenly came to life, a bite on Ma Wuzi's finger, Ma Wuzi suddenly foamed at the mouth and pumped the whole body, and when his son carried him home, it was too late to ask the doctor for treatment, and he was already dying.

It is said that the descendants of Ma Wuzi later made a living in Beijing. made a buddy for Qiao Erye of Liuli Factory, this matter was personally described by him, in Panjiayuan and Liulichang, the two major "cultural play" collection and distribution, there are many people who have heard of it, but everyone said that this paragraph is fake, few people are willing to believe it, just listen to it after dinner.

But I think this thing is more real, if it is not my own experience, absolutely not to say "undersea eye", corpse insects, corpse wax are all in the tomb, proficient in feng shui changes to know the mystery, when in the Hundred Eyes Cave, I was almost bitten to death by corpse insects, but there are many kinds of corpse insects, "lice, corpse flies" and other things are of this kind, so it is not strange to see corpse insects near the "ancient tomb of Dixian Village", but I don't know what kind of corpse insects Ma Wuzi encountered back then, all kinds of corpse insects have different habits, and some have to eat corpses. and some eat living creatures.

In front of us in this mass grave cave. Although it was a gathering of insects and rats, I didn't expect that the dead fish floating on the surface of the lake would attract corpse insects to gnaw and devour, and provoked a false alarm out of thin air.

The fat man scolded a few words, waved a shovel to puff the water, and drove away the ghoul flies that did not escape far in the air.

Professor Sun is a landlubber, he is most afraid of water, and his face suddenly changed color in fright, and he hurriedly grabbed the lock ring on the lacquer coffin to stabilize the center of gravity, and shouted: "Slow down, slow down...... You're going to overturn the coffin! ”

The fat man turned around with a look of disdain and said, "Look at how scared you look, you definitely don't dare to eat wontons, but don't worry, Ninth Master." If you turn around and hit a ghost on the water, the fat man will greet you with a knife face. ”

I noticed something wrong with the flow of the lower lake, and quickly reminded them not to be bored. Notice that there is a rapids in front of you, and as soon as you finish speaking, the vermilion lacquer coffin that temporarily serves as an "assault boat" is hit by the current and has begun to lose control.

The fat man looked at the air and threw out a cold firework, only to see that there is a cliff at the end of the lower water lake, the stone wall is full of springs, distributed high and low, among the two big springs at the mouth of each carved a bearded old dragon, there are two small waterfalls like white practice, poured down from the dragon head, just like the water of the double dragon. Among the two water dragons, a strange building similar to the Que platform was protruded, and there were hundreds of beasts and birds, and those rare birds and beasts were not common things in the world. Filled with the mystery of the ancient witch kingdom style, my heart moved: "This is the tomb gate of the ancient cemetery of the Black Sheep King?" ”

There are a number of stone doors under the majestic city gate, and the cave wall is built with huge bricks, and it is very similar to the figurine road in the tomb. The tomb gate is divided into three layers, and the bottom row of city gates has been flooded by the lake for more than half of the time, and the water discharge is very urgent, and the lacquer coffin floating on the water surface is swept in by the turbulent water as soon as it approaches.

I know very well that Sun Jiuye and my sister don't know the nature of water, and if they fall into the dark and cold lake, they may not be able to be saved, and the vermilion coffin is not a real boat. The slightest tilt would tip over, and it was impossible to expect the coffin to float down the water into the cave and immediately whistle and call for everyone to abandon the ship and go ashore.

But at this moment, the lacquer coffin was driven by the rapids on the lake surface, and the speed of the drifting accelerated in an instant, only to feel the wind whistling in the ears, and the two lacquer coffins turned on the water surface, colliding with each other and hugging into the hole under the platform.

In an exclamation, the vermilion lacquer coffin went down the river in the tomb, rushed forward more than 20 meters, in the dark and wide figurine road, I couldn't see the surrounding situation at all, I heard the roar of the water in front of me, I wanted to come to the middle of the tomb road was soaked in water all the year round, it had sunk as a whole, collapsed out of a small hole in the middle, the water flowed through the lower tomb, if the water of the lower lake was rolled down with the coffin, most of them were difficult to live.

This thought flashed, and I didn't dare to hesitate anymore, beckoned Sun Jiuye and my sister, and asked them to get ready to jump off the coffin.

The water in the tomb is waist-deep, and Shirley Yang and I "The flying tiger claw pulled one hand into the gap in the tomb bricks, and hurriedly turned around to drag Professor Sun.

At this time, another lacquered coffin was floating by. Unexpectedly, the surging water was so strong that I grabbed it. The three of them didn't have time to stretch out their hands, and they fell on the lacquered coffin and passed in front of me, and Shirley Yang and I shouted in unison, but the words did not fall. The three of them followed. In a cavern in the middle of the road.

My eyes were dark, thinking that this time it was mostly broken, and I was busy shouting the names of the fat man and others, and I only heard the sound of water in my ears, even if someone answered, it was covered, and I panicked for a while, and then froze, knowing that there was no point in rushing to the fire at the moment, only to hurry down to find the survivors.

I raised a flashlight and looked at the shape around me, and speculated that the tomb gate in front of the lake had entered the coffin hall of the mausoleum of the "Wuling King of Yishan", and the main hall and coffin were all inside the lower building of this piece, and the entire ancient tomb was constructed in the shape of master and slave superimposition. In front of the coffin hall, which is divided into three layers. There should also be a closed stone inlaid tomb road, we entered from the mass grave cave under the tomb road, and directly "entered the house", but there is no trace of "Dixian Village" here.

At present, the search and rescue of our companions is a top priority, and I don't care about where the "Dixian Village Ancient Tomb" is hiding for the time being, Shirley Yang and I climbed the tomb wall and waded forward, and saw that there were small and different caves on both sides of the tomb road, which were empty. Only the fragments of the murals on the tomb wall are left, and what you can see is a desolate scene after being swept by a large group of tomb robbers. This situation is also a big defect of the master-slave stacked mausoleum. Therefore, after the Tang Dynasty, the stacked layout was no longer used.

Due to the rapid flow of water in the tomb tunnel, it is impossible to gain a foothold. We had to go around from the side room, and finally from the other side to the collapse of the middle section of the cemetery, the ground bricks and mud were mixed, revealing a sinkhole with a diameter of several meters, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a robbery hole collapsed hundreds of years ago.

There is another burial chamber under the robbery cave, and the internal bricks are overturned. Confused, I'll take the next one. I saw that the black water in the bottom tomb was half flooded, and the soil at the bottom of the ancient tomb was not dense. The water that was poured down seeped into the bottom. Suddenly, I saw the beam of light swaying on the water surface in the corner of the tomb, and I looked at it, and it turned out to be a fat man looking around with a flashlight.

When I saw that he was fine, I put down half of my hanging heart and shouted at him, "Commander Wang, are you okay?" Where are Sun Jiuye and his sister? "But the sound of the water was so loud that I couldn't hear what I was saying. Seeing that the water in the burial chamber below is very deep, look for a place where the water does not flow quickly. With Shirley Yang, he climbed the "Flying Tiger Claw" one after the other and hung down.

I touched the fat man's side. Seeing that he had fallen into a daze, and that he had broken a few pieces on his body, but that he had a mountaineering helmet on his head, and leather protectors on his shoulders, elbows and knees, and that he was fine if he fell into the water, he asked him what he had said before.

The fat man shook his head vigorously and said, "Fuck, why are there all Venus in front of you?" The water in the graveyard was too strong just now, and I was going to jump off the coffin. But Sun Jiuye's old thing was afraid of water, and he was almost scared of peeing pants, and he dragged me alive and didn't let go, but let him drag it like this, almost causing the fat man to hit his head back into the cavity...... It seems that he didn't dare to let go of the coffin after falling into the water, if it wasn't in this tomb, then it would be ...... He must have drifted with the lacquered coffin to a nearby graveyard. ”

I saw that the fat man was fine, and I guess Sun Jiuye and my sister would not have too many accidents. But I felt that something didn't seem right inside the tomb, and there was an indescribable eerie atmosphere cast in the empty coldness. For now, we must try our best to find the rest of the people, so that nothing will happen.

The waterlogged burial chamber was filled with openings on all sides, and one of the tombs had a strange mural painted on the wall, of an expressionless fat woman holding a wizened old man the size of a baby's fist. In a hurry, it was difficult to figure out what legend was depicted in the mural, but I felt that it was very strange, and the inadvertent glance made people feel uncomfortable, and I had to avoid it as much as possible.

On the wall of the tomb with frescoes, there is a door with the largest arch that opens impressively. The water more than a meter deep slowly surged into the door, and after the lacquer coffin fell into the water, it was very likely to float into the tomb behind the door, because of several other gaps around it. They were all relatively narrow, and we shouted a few times in front of the door of the tomb, and when we saw that no one answered for a long time, we turned on the spotlights on our helmets, and each of us took out our self-defense equipment, and waded into the water.

The tomb was flooded all year round, there was a clear waterline on the brick wall, it was covered with dark green thick moss, the dark air was humid and gloomy, the visibility of the lighting spotlights was so low that it couldn't be lower, and I walked a long way after leaving the sinkhole, but I still couldn't see the end of the tomb.

The unique structure of the superimposed tomb and the veins of feng shui make the sound of the earth in the tomb can only be transmitted from the bottom to the top with the earth's qi. In the dark and cold tomb tunnel. I was worried about the safety of Sun Jiuye, and I couldn't help but feel a little anxious in my heart, and I was about to call out the name of the missing person again, when I suddenly saw a freak and mutilated mural on the top of the tomb nearly one meter above my head. Similar to the style found in the burial chamber, it depicts a woman with a clay sculpture of a wood carving, opening her cherry mouth and sticking out her tongue, and on her bright red tongue sits cross-legged an old man who looks like a ghost. It's just that it's as small as a walnut.

In the moss-stained cemetery, this mural looks particularly abrupt, I looked at it coldly, I was really taken aback, and the fat man who walked in the head also said: "Old Hu, I see how this mural is so familiar." If Commander Ben remembers correctly, we seem to have seen it in Longling, Shaanxi, and you said at the time that only the Tang Dynasty had such an obese master-in-law......"

I couldn't agree more. Nodding, his feet did not stop, and asked Shirley Yang beside him as he walked, did he think the mural was very evil? No matter how you look at it, she looks like a noblewoman in the Tang Dynasty.

Shirley Young said: "It's very evil, the mural is as colorful as new, look at the woman dressed in Tang, and the old man on her tongue is simply ...... It's like a demon. ”

Shirley Yang said that these murals are supposed to be from the Tang Dynasty, which seems to be "incompatible with the historical background, presumably the earth immortal Fengshi Gu stole them from other ancient mounds, but I don't know what the intention is to deliberately hide them at the bottom of the ancient tomb." Beware of "traps" in this section of the tomb.

I heard Shirley Young mention that the mural was depicted as a "demon", but I didn't realize that the Westernized term had no specific image in my mind. But I actually think that this word is used to describe the "old man" on the tip of the tongue of the noble lady of the Tang Dynasty, which is very appropriate, the thin and small old man has sharp ears and an abominable face, like a terrible ghost who crawled out of the eighteenth layer of hell.
