The Black Buddha said that it was a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, but in fact it was just a name, not that there were really a thousand hands and a thousand eyes on the statue. The black Buddha statue made of rotten jade is as tall as an ordinary person, and there are dozens of arms behind it that hold special-shaped magic weapons or pinch fingers, and the statue has more than 100 eyes all over the body, which were originally closed, but suddenly opened, and those eyes have no pupils, but they are like life, and they keep squirming.

Father Thomas was overwhelmed by the countless maggot-like eyes on the Black Buddha's body, and hurriedly asked Elder Chen, "Is this ...... What is it? When did these eyes open? Is this an eye or a bug? ”

Although Elder Lichen has seen a lot of things, but the rotten jade and the black Buddha have never seen it with their own eyes, but they have heard the seniors mention that there are such two things in the world, and they have been extinct for a long time, and those predecessors don't know what is in them, and the content of the story is very limited. Otherwise, how can Black Buddha be like a living being......

I saw hundreds of strange eyes of the black Buddha statue, and there were streams of black mist that seemed to be solidified, and these black mist were condensed in the pavilion, and by the flickering light of the candles, the outline of the black fog could be seen like a vague black Buddha statue.

At this time, Partridge Whistle, who had just vomited blood, also came back to his senses, and when he saw this terrifying black mist, he was as surprised as Elder Dust and Father Thomas. There have always been many strange and mysterious things in the ancient tombs, and Partridge Whistle has seen a lot in his career as a tomb robber, and it is difficult to have anything that surprises him again, but this black fog is really unexpected, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, where would he believe that there is such an evil thing in the world.

Father Thomas felt that it was an evil spirit, took out a bottle of holy water, pulled out the cap of the bottle and raised his hand to splash it at the black mist, the ink-like black mist originally moved very slowly, and when he saw the water splashing, he suddenly cracked a big hole in the middle with great speed, and Father Thomas's holy water was splashed empty, through the big hole in the black mist, and fell on the ground of the tomb. The big hole that cracked in the black fog was just in the middle of the outline of the Buddha statue, as if the black Buddha had opened the hideous mouth of the black hole and roared silently at the three people.

Seeing that the black mist seemed to be afraid of Father Thomas's holy water, Partridge Whistle asked Father Thomas to splash some more, and Father Thomas shrugged his shoulders and said, "No, just half a bottle." ”

Elder Lichen held the Buddha beads in his hand and said: "The means of the foreign monk are also good, it turns out that this evil fog is afraid of magic weapons, it seems that the moment of breaking has passed, and the crooked demon and evil way can help me, and see the old man to collect it." After speaking, he tore off the string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and smashed the Buddha beads into the black mist.

Unexpectedly, the thick and abnormal black mist did not react this time, and was hit by the Buddha beads unconsciously, and continued to slowly move forward, Elder Lichen secretly wondered in his heart: "This is really strange, could it be that my Buddha's boundless mana is not as good as Western holy water?" Alas, this ...... What the fuck is this? ”

Seeing Elder Chen's daze, Partridge Whistle hurriedly pulled him, and the three of them were forced by the black fog and had to retreat. This kind of black mist is released from the rotten jade, and there are two possibilities for encountering it, one is like the white skeleton, the skin and flesh and internal organs of the whole body immediately decay, turning into pus, and only a skeleton remains; Another possibility is that the black mist is what Elder Dust said, and there are ghosts haunting it, and as soon as it touches the living, it will be haunted by evil spirits.

Either way, it's miserable. Behind him, he had already retreated to the corner of the wall, and there was no way to retreat, looking at the slowly approaching black fog, Partridge Whistle knew that the time limit had come, and said to Elder Chen: "The disciple dragged down the teacher today, and there is no redemption for a hundred deaths. ”

Elder Lichen was just about to say some subtle Buddhist teachings to the partridge whistle to show that he had long been detached from the matter of life and death, but found that the black fog like a wall not far away in front of him was not coming towards the three of them, but rushed towards the candle in the corner of the wall on the other side, and Captain Jin had an instinctive reaction to the candle, and his heart struck: "Why did these black fog move towards the candle......

Partridge whistle also spotted the situation: "Black Mist ......"

Elder Dust, Father Thomas, and Partridge Whistle said in unison, "Candles! ”

When he first entered the ancient tomb, the partridge whistle used the phosphorescent tube on the vajra umbrella to illuminate, the phosphorescent emitted blue light, a cold light source, without any temperature, so since entering the tomb until seeing the black Buddha and the white bones, nothing abnormal happened, but when he wanted to go back, Father Thomas, who was originally walking at the end, became the person who walked in the front, he lit the candle given to him by the partridge whistle to light the way, and suddenly black fog emerged from the tunnel under the jade gate. Everyone was forced into the pavilion to hide by the black fog, until Elder Chenchen lit a candle to illuminate and open the box, and the multi-handed and multi-eyed black Buddha suddenly changed, and the Buddha's body opened its eyes, and puffs of black smoke came out.

That's right, it must be the temperature! Although I don't know what the principle is, these black fogs are like moths to a fire, drawn out by the temperature of the candles, and the air in the burial chamber must reach a certain temperature before it appears, and it must be a high enough temperature, if you don't light candles and torches, this black fog will probably not appear at all. The black fog appears to be in a state of slumber, and once awakened by the heat of the flames, it will wipe out all targets in the chamber that exceed the temperature of matter.

The black mist really targeted the candles on the ground first, and the thick black mist seemed to be invisible, but in fact it was qualitative, and in an instant, the flame of the candle was engulfed by the black mist, and the tomb was immediately pitch black.

Seeing this scene, Partridge Whistle and the others knew that after the black mist emitted from the Black Buddha engulfed the candle, they would immediately look for a target whose temperature was inferior to that of the candle, and that must be the three living people in the pavilion.

(Endorsement in the book: rotten jade, also known as python 1 stone, or insect jade, is produced in a valley in the Middle East.) This insect jade itself has many strange properties, and has always been a mysterious substance with legendary characteristics, which is extremely rare. The ancients believed that this kind of living strange stone was possessed by an evil spirit, as long as the flame was burned near the insect jade, a large amount of black mist would be emitted from it that was as thick as solidification, and after the black fog, all the substances that exceeded a certain temperature in the vicinity were corroded into pus, and it was not as Elder Chenchen heard that as soon as he touched the rotten jade, the human body would turn into pus.

In ancient times, there was a cult that used the black mist emitted from the insect jade to form a vague multi-armed humanoid silhouette, and concretized the outline of the human head to create a dark Buddha statue, claiming that darkness would eventually replace light, absorbing a large number of believers, and later this religion was completely exterminated. Since then, the already very rare insect jade has also disappeared from the world for a time. It was not until 1986 that a joint archaeological activity rediscovered this strange stone that only existed in ancient documents in the ruins of Kamankarehoyuk, Turkey, and it is impossible to verify why this black Buddha appeared in the ruins of Kamankarehoyuk.

The secret of insect jade was cracked by American scientists at the end of the 19th century, in fact, this mysterious layer of window paper is pierced and broken, which is similar to Cordyceps. The so-called Cordyceps sinensis is a complex of the fungus Cordyceps sinensis parasitic on the body of the larvae of the bat moth and the larval corpse. As the name suggests, insects in winter and grass in summer.

The beetle, on the other hand, is like a stone at room temperature, and it will turn into an insect when there is a flame causing high temperature, and a large group of black insects gathered together is extremely small. Individual "beetles" can barely be distinguished with the naked eye, and when they are gathered in large numbers, they resemble black smoke. Usually in a state of stiffness, a large number of dead cockroaches are stacked together, just like black jade, and the insect corpses inside the shell will have an accelerated transformation process when they sense the sharp change in the temperature of the nearby air, take off the skin of the corpses, gather together and fly out. These worms that emerge from their cocoons secrete a large amount of corrosive liquid through guò continuous death, devouring all hot objects in the vicinity, including flames that can be extinguished by the liquid of the insect corpses.

In a certain way, insect jade can be said to be a very sharp mausoleum guardian, and countless beetles that appear from the stone form an insect tent, which is enough to cover the entire area of the tomb.

Of course, Partridge Whistle and Elder Lichen are both superstitious and strict Captain Jin, and it is the first time they have seen the legendary evil insect jade, and the mystery of the insect jade has never been solved in that era, so in their opinion, this phenomenon in front of them must be haunted by evil spirits. ）

Partridge Whistle and the other three had already seen through the black fog and would give priority to attacking targets with high temperatures, so in order to dispel the black fog, they lit a few candles casually, and the black fog was drawn to the corner of the wall by the heat of the candles, and a large gap was exposed between the corner and the flap wall in the ancient tomb pavilion.

Before Elder Lichen and the others entered the ancient tomb, they took the Hongqi Miaoxin Pill, a secret medicine that could lower the body's body temperature and slow down the breathing rhythm, so when the black mist was attracted by the temperature of the candle, it would not lightly detect the three living people. Seeing that it was too late to fight back against the robbery hole, the partridge whistle had no choice but to stick to the wall to avoid the black fog, and prepared to return to the main tomb from the pavilion, divert the black ghost fog there, and go out through the passage under the jade gate.

When Elder Lichen went out, he took the heterogeneous keel in the box into his hand, and there were many strange symbols engraved on the keel, many of which were shaped like dust beads, maybe the whereabouts of the phoenix gall dust bead in the end might eventually land on this heterogeneous keel. This piece of dragon bone armor is hidden in the pavilion so hidden, it must have its value.

At this time, Partridge Whistle and Father Thomas had already pushed the lantern mechanism on the wall, beckoning Elder Dust to go quickly, and Elder Dust hurriedly caught up, and the wall clicked, but stopped in the middle of the section, as if it was stuck somewhere.
