The candlelight in the corner of the tomb, the closest to us, is the same as the three demon coffins in the room, arranged in the shape of "△", this kind of light is familiar to me, it must be the three candles that the fat man just lit.

However, on the right side of the three candles, there are two other rows of faint blue light, which appear vertically on the wall, three or three in a row, this kind of light can only make people perceive that there is light in a dark place, and the dark blue light source itself does not have any illumination, and the black place is still so dark, but in this pitch black, there are six more dim blue "ghost fires".

The huge bronze coffin hanging on the copper ring, there is also a burst of copper and iron friction sound, I thought to myself that this must be the sound of zombies scratching the coffin lid inside, how the fuck just entered the underworld and encountered the corpse, is it not just now I wiped the dust on the copper coffin with my hands, the ancient corpse in the coffin felt the vitality of the living, no, I remember I wore gloves.

After thinking about it again, not to mention where the six "ghost fires" came from, the life lamps of the three of us "Captain Touching Gold" are still there, and the location is not bad at all, so at least so far, there has been no sign of "corpse mutiny" in this tomb, or the infestation of dirty things such as ghosts and ghosts, but I don't know what is going on.

When I thought of this, I calmed down and shouted in the tomb, "Commander Wang, what the fuck are you picking up again?" Get out of here, otherwise military law will be engaged. ”

I saw the fat man peeking out from the other end of the bronze coffin and asked, "Commander Hu, are you looking for me?" I have unveiled a good thing from this bronze coffin, as if it were gold. With that, he walked over holding a round metal object.

I took a look, saw that it was a copper mirror, stroked the dust on it, the surface of the copper mirror is still light and recognizable, and there is not much rust, but the back is rusty, and there is a circle of golden "stones" around the mirror as decoration, these round stones, it is easy to be mistaken for gold. Although the back of the copper mirror is tattered, it gives people a unique decadent beauty of ancient cultural relics. Could it be the thousand-year-old corpse that is restraining inside? I had never heard of such a thing, so I handed the mirror to the fat man and said, "This is a bronze mirror, and the back is inlaid with a stone, not gold, where did you get it, hurry up and put it back there, let's do a big thing, don't delay the business for these insignificant artifacts." ”

Shirley Yang asked the fat man, "How many candles did you light in the southeast corner of the tomb just now?" ”

When the fat man heard Shirley Yang ask about this, he couldn't help but wonder: "Three, I'm also a cultural person, can I still not know how to count?" Look at ......" said and turned his head to look, he was dumbfounded, he also saw that in addition to the three candles, there were also six dim blue lights, it seemed that those were also fires, because the fire source was too weak to fully burn, so the light emitted was blue, the same as the ghost fire in the deserted grave.

I saw that the six ghostly blue lights were really not the work of the fat man, but as long as the three candles were not extinguished, there would not be much danger, or go over and see clearly, the three coffins in the tomb are very strong, and it will take some time to open, so if there is really any omen of evil, nip it in the bud as soon as possible, and don't let it cause obstacles for us to find the "dust beads" in the tomb.

Candles can be lit in the burial chamber, indicating that oxygen is gradually increasing. I first scanned it with a flashlight, but the tomb was buried deep underground, and in the absolutely dark space, the air was somewhat impurities, and I didn't see anything there after shining for a long time.

I didn't think I could see clearly through the heavy goggles of the gas mask, so I temporarily took off the gas mask, hung it on my chest, changed into a mask and put it on, carried Miai, and led Shirley Yang and the fat man to go over to check.

The location of the strange blue light is on the side of the door of the tomb, because the area of the tomb in this yin palace is not small, the candles lit by the fat man in the corner of the wall are relatively concentrated, the candle light is very limited, and the distance between the two light sources is about ** meters away, and no one can illuminate anyone.

Walking to the distance from the "ghost fire", five meters away, the "wolf eye" can already illuminate the tomb wall clearly, as soon as we enter the tomb, the line of sight is attracted by the three coffins in the middle, the scope of the light source carried with us has its limitations, so I didn't notice the door of the inner room, there are things.

The first to enter the range of the "wolf's eyes" was a strange face full of black scales, this face had no lips, only two rows of halberds with sharp teeth open, and the faint light of the "ghost fire" came out of its mouth.

When the fat man and I first saw such an abomination and terrible face, the first thought in our hearts was "evil spirits," and we forgot to wonder if the bullet would work, and we lifted the "Chicago typewriter," which had already been on fire, and immediately began to shoot.

Shirley Yang has night eyes, and her eyesight is very good, and she often sees more clearly in the dark than me and the fat man, and she suddenly said, "It's the black scale merman...... It doesn't matter, they are all dead, it turns out that this is the everlasting lamp and the candle in the ancient tomb. ”

I slowly lowered the muzzle of the raised gun, we had talked about the eternal lamp in the underground palace not long ago, and I didn't expect to meet it as soon as I entered, and I couldn't help but be a little curious: "Is there really a mermaid in the world?" Isn't that just an ancient name for manatees? He took a few steps closer to see what the black-scaled mermaid looked like.

I saw that it was a copper pillar embedded in the tomb wall for two moments, each copper pillar was divided into upper, middle and lower, and a total of six half-human and half-fish monster corpses were tied, these mermaids looked like women on their upper bodies, and there were also two **, their necks were very thin, and their gills grew on the neck, but they had no human skin, and their whole bodies were sparse black scales, only the abdomen had no scales.

The corpse seems to have undergone special treatment, dry and hard and black, and there is no decay in the underworld, there are chains on the copper pillar, and the six mermaids are pierced with pipa bones, making a crouching and kneeling posture, locked on the copper pillar, just from top to bottom, evenly lined up, their mouths are surprisingly large, all of them are wide open, I used the "wolf eye" flashlight to shine in, and found that the throat of the merman is blocked by a white thing similar to asbestos, and there is a section of velvet stuck in the dry and hard tongue, which is burning a dim blue light.

The fat man curiously poked the mermaid with the barrel of Miai's gun, and the corpse was already hardened: "It's not the same as the mermaid I imagined, but the victory is strange, it's all dead, it seems that it is useless to sell it to the zoo, and the natural history museum in our capital really lacks such a specimen." ”

I saw that although this black-scaled mermaid was strange, it was just an ordinary "immortal candle" in the underground palace, which was used to symbolically indicate that since the tomb owner's body had been destroyed, the soul still existed, so I immediately put down my hanging heart, took out a cigarette, lit the blue fire in the mermaid's mouth, spit the smoke ring on the fat man's face, and said to him: "Commander Wang's consciousness this time is still relatively high, he didn't think only of individuals, but first considered the big collective of the country, you carried it back and sent it to the Natural History Museum, filling the gap in this field." , maybe you can also mix the award certificate to hang. ”

Shirley Yang said to me: "This is not the first time to discover, many people in the world have found the bones of mermaids, the United States Navy has also caught a live, it is said that the ointment of the merman in the sea, not only the ignition point is very low, and as long as a drop can burn for several months without extinguishing, in ancient times, the tomb of the nobles often used its grease as a 10,000-year-old lamp, but directly to make candles from the corpse of the merman, I have never heard of it, I think this is related to the Qin and Han dynasties when the legend of the fairy mountain is in the sea. ”

I thought of the immortal candle recorded in detail in the ancient Chinese mausoleum system, and my heart suddenly sank, and I said to Shirley Yang: "You only know one and the other, but you don't know the third, the legend is that the East China Sea mermaid is the most lewd, bloodthirsty, all of them live under an island formed by dead coral in the sea, the coral cave under the island, the cave is criss-crossed, deep and unknowable, there is the old nest of mermaids, they release sound in the nearby seas, attracting passing sea ship merchants, the victims are all eaten to the bones and there is no left, someone caught a live black-scaled merman, It was slaughtered and dried, poured into its ointment, and made into a long candle, worth three thousand gold beads, these stories I had heard my grandfather tell before, I used to think it was just a story, but now it seems to be true, and the micro-environment in this tomb is closed and stable, which was broken by us, and the velvet ignites when it encounters air, so these ...... The ghost fire suddenly lit up, and I don't think it's surprising. ”

The strangest thing is that this "immortal candle", there are six in total, according to the mausoleum system, the "immortal candle" in the underground palace is only in the tomb, different from the 10,000-year-old lamp, "immortal candle" one, corresponding to an important corpse in the tomb, of course, the martyr is not used, such as the husband and wife burial tomb, there are often two immortal candles in front of the coffin.

The fat man counted with his fingers: "There are only three coffins in the tomb, plus the three of us living people are enough to count, I cāo his ancestors, could it be that we are all counted?" ”

Shirley Yang shook his head and said: "No, I think the king should not be in the middle of the tomb in the three coffins, although his coffin can not be out of the scope of this tomb, but it must be hidden very deep, and this more ancient three sets of coffins, the bones of which represent the previous life of the king, plus the king, this is four corpses, Lao Hu once said, the animal carvings on the third bridge, there are a pair of male and female, this tomb is a joint burial tomb, that means that there are at least five corpses here, but this is counted, The number of corpses and immortal candles still doesn't match......"

As he was talking, a gust of wind drifted by, the three candles in the southeast corner of the tomb were extinguished, and there was a piercing sound of nails scratching metal from the bronze coffin behind him, in the silent and gloomy underground palace, this sound was enough to deeply impact the cerebral cortex of the human body, making people have a strong overwhelming fear from the inside out, we immediately turned around, and the fat man said to me beside him: "Promise **, this time it was really not me who did it." ”

I said to the fat man, "The organization has always believed in you, but now the time has come to test you, go and see what is in the bronze coffin...... No, what the fuck, look at the end of the coffin, why are there three big ghost fires in a row? Are there nine bones here? ”
