Yunnan Worm Valley Chapter 37 Agni
We were staring at the garment in the heights, and the head on the garment suddenly turned silently and smiled at us. Shirley Yang and I were horrified, but we weren't in a mess.
It is said that ghosts can't turn around, and the shadow wall in the rich man's house is specially designed to block the evil ghosts. The hall of this apse is full of stone painted walls, it's a big deal to circle around with her, anyway, it's daytime outside, but I don't have to worry about having nowhere to escape, thinking of this, I took out a black donkey's hooves, and shouted: "Master Hu invites you to eat braised hooves today, look at the guys." He raised his hand and threw it at the head of the man in the darkness.
The hooves of the black donkey, which specializes in overcoming zombie demons, flew through the air with a strong wind. As soon as I exerted my strength, the wolf's eye in my other hand could not be steady, and as soon as the light flickered, the roof of the temple was immediately covered with darkness, and I heard a "pop" in the dark, and a large object fell and fell on a mural wall next to the stele where Shirley Yang and I were.
I hurriedly shone my flashlight to see what it was, and when I looked closely, a half-worm was grinning at us on the mural wall. The scabs were twice as big as when they first broke away from their mother's body, and they were forced to retreat back to the gourd cave by the insecticidal drugs on the Lingyun Heavenly Palace and the spiral plank road just now, but presumably the several layers of broken worm passages in the King's Tomb complex are mainly for rats and ants, and they are old, and once they get used to such a large body, they will not play a big role.
At some point, the leper slipped into the temple, and just happened to hit the muzzle of the gun, and was hit by the hooves of the black donkey that I threw to smash the ghost, and fell on the wall of the mural.
The black donkey hoof I brought with me was still found by the swallow when I was in Inner Mongolia, and I had been with it for more than a year, and it was about the same as the iron ball.
Shirley Young and I looked at the mural on the wall with a wolf's eye, but we stumbled upon another set of clothes hanging from the roof of the hall behind it, and the style was also very strange. It should be a leather armor belonging to the ancient Southwest Yi people, and it is also only armor, there is no corpse in it, and this set of armor does not even have a head, only a horned helmet, and I can't see if there is a human head in the helmet.
It seems that in this apse, there is not only a set of red witch clothes, I don't know what happened to the owners of these costumes, eighty percent of them have already been killed by the king to sacrifice to the sky.
But I don't have to think about the root cause at all, the one-eyed man at the top of the mural wall has already jumped from mid-air. Shirley Yang's 64 style fired three shots in a row, knocking it out of mid-air, and the fat man below immediately caught up with a few shots.
The fat man looked up at us and shouted, "Quite a few of them have come in, damn it, they've got ...... eat us," and continued to pull the trigger as he spoke, and the dark palace was lit up by bullets as it was neutral.
Shirley Young said to me, "How can they track them down, do they smell like dogs?" However, the speed at which these guys grow so fast must be related to the special environment in the gourd cave, and they will not live long away from the nest. ”
I was anxious to get my submachine gun from the stele, so I climbed down the stele and said to the fat man and Shirley Young, "While there are few of them, destroy them all, and close the door to the apse corridor at once." Since large insects don't survive for too long with normal oxygen concentration, we just need to be able to hold on for a while. ”
There are no less than dozens of scabies that sneak into the palace, although the number is not many, but it is difficult to eliminate them all for a while, so they have to use the stone tablets scattered in the palace to paint the walls, and deal with them.
The fat man and I leaned back to back on each other and shot the lepers who rushed over one by one. The fat man said to me in his busy schedule: "Commander Hu, we don't have much ammunition, we have to take it easy." ”
As soon as I heard him say that there were not many bullets, I felt a little impatient, and the Chicago typewriter I was holding lost my head, and a leprosy man who had just been bitten by the bullet was shot three times in the back, and jumped into the dead corner behind the mural wall, and the bullets behind me were all nailed to the wall, and the bricks were splashed.
I thought I would kill one less and lose one, so I chased after him and turned to the inside of the mural wall. I saw that the seriously injured man was squatting on the lid of the black tripod, staring at me fiercely, opening his four big mouths and howling, venting the pain of being torn apart by the large-caliber bullets.
When the man, who was not lightly wounded, saw that I was chasing after me, he immediately went berserk, and viciously propped up the lid with his limbs, and threw himself at me with all his strength. Its strength was surprisingly great, and this momentum actually kicked the lid of the black copper tripod backwards from the tripod. There was a mural wall behind me, and it was difficult to dodge, but I knew that the opponent's attack was fierce and ferocious, focusing the remaining energy in my life on my mouth, and I was ready to die with me.
I didn't dodge, I raised my gun and tried to finish it in mid-air, but as soon as I pulled the trigger, the bullet jammed at this time. I'm really afraid of something, although this American-style equipment is sharp, it is an old lodging goods, and it is rare to use it until now. I tried to reverse the butt of the rifle to strike the scab that flew at me, but it came so fast and so violently that I could only smell a foul smell at the end of my nose, and the strange mouth of my palate limbs and teeth had already pounced on my face.
I had to hold M1A1 around its neck, but I didn't expect that the other party seemed to be infinitely powerful, and the force of the attack did not decrease in the slightest, knocking me to the ground. I kicked the lewd man in the belly, and with the force of his blow, I kicked it backwards, and the head of the lewd man hit the mural wall, and the snow-white wall immediately left a large black blood stain.
Seeing that the leper was still not dead, I tried to go up and smash his head with the butt of my gun, but I heard a heavy metal rolling sound behind me, as if a huge wheel was coming towards me from behind.
I thought to myself, where the hell did the train come from, I didn't dare to hold it up, so I quickly turned over and hid to the side, and the lid of the black giant tripod rubbed the back of my heart. The man, who had just struggled to get up from under the mural wall, was hit by the edge of the canopy, and with the muffled sound of a watermelon falling from the upper floor, a large amount of black blood splattered on the entire mural wall. It had been smashed into a pile of worm mud by the heavy canopy, and its head had become deflated, and it could no longer tell where the head was and where the wall was, except for its forelimbs, which were still spreading and shaking.
As the saying goes, lift a stone and hit one's own feet, this leper must have been the result of endless good deeds in his previous life, just pounced on me and bit me, and was actually crushed on his head by the lid that he kicked open.
The gunshots in the hall were still ringing, and the fat man and Shirley Yang had already eliminated more than a dozen of the largest lepers, and were killing the remaining ones. Seeing that I was safe here for the time being, I breathed a sigh of air, pulled out the drum with my hand, and returned the jammed bullet, almost killing myself.
Then I wanted to help the fat man, but as soon as I got together, I saw a strange and indescribable scene. The six-legged black tripod that lost the lid of the tripod, a piece of white flowers inside, all naked ** corpses, from the corpses, men, women and children, there are seventeen or eighteen bodies.
The corpses were piled up in white clotted grease, which was as transparent as jelly, so it looked like they had been made into wax corpses, and the corpses were stained with blood. I thought to myself: "It seems that Shirley Yang is right, and it is indeed to boil the corpse to sacrifice to the sky." These corpses are probably the owners of those strange clothes on the roof, perhaps they are the most powerful people among the Yi people captured by King Xian, as well as the family members of King Yi. ”
As early as the Xia Shang period, there was a record of Ding cooking people to sacrifice to the gods of heaven and earth, and the cooked person could not be an ordinary slave, otherwise it would be considered disrespectful to the gods. It seems that the king has died before he has held the ceremony of stepping on the dragon and ascending to the sky, so this "cauldron" has not come in handy.
I thought about the sinister smile of the ghost in the corner of the palace just now, whether it wanted to prevent us from opening this tripod, could there be any unsavory secret in this tripod? Even if there is a ** female corpse, the appearance of being covered in butter clotted fat and blood, I feel sick to my stomach when I think about it, who the hell is rare to see you.
I really didn't want to look at it any longer, so I wanted to turn around and leave, thinking about leaving, but before I could move my steps, I suddenly felt a scorching air flow coming out of the black ding. I saw the six beast feet under the ding, like six fire unicorns, facing inward, corresponding to each other, and six pillars of fire erupted from the beast's mouth. The black surface of the tripod also immediately burned violently, and the corpses in the tripod were wrapped in fire and hot oil, and quickly began to melt, and the smell in the hall was disgusting.
The six-legged black tripod turned into a large fireball at this moment, and the raging flames reflected the entire apse brightly. I saw more than a dozen sets of different costumes hanging on the roof of the hall, all of which were different, and the clothes of these ancients did not seem to be prepared for the living.
I didn't bother to look closely, and hurriedly summoned the fat man and Shirley Yang to get out of this place quickly. There may be fire nitrate in the copper tripod, and the lid will be triggered immediately as soon as it moves, and it was originally burned when the king was ready to sacrifice to the heavens on the platform, but it burned in the hall. The main body of this Lingyun Heavenly Palace is a structure of Nanmu and bricks, built on the top of the dragon halo, very dry, this short time, the wood in the hall has been baked by the heat flow to "crackle", it seems that this heavenly palace is going to become a fire palace.
There were still four or five murderous scabs left in the hall, and the fat man and Shirley Yang were fighting with them around the stone tablet in the corner, and they were startled by the sudden great fire, and they all changed color in shock, and when they followed me, they rushed to the short corridor connecting the front hall, and if they stayed a little longer, they would probably turn into roasted meat.
Before he stepped out of the apse, the roof of the short corridor suddenly seemed to collapse, and it was suddenly pressed down, blocking the exit tightly. At this time, I don't know whether to rejoice or complain, if I take a few steps faster, I will inevitably be smashed into a pile of meat sauce by this huge rock, but at this moment, the fire is approaching step by step, there is no way to escape, and I will be burned to death later.
Now with the equipment on our bodies, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to extinguish the fire, and the heat wave in the temple is blowing in our faces, and we feel that our eyebrows are about to be burned by the fire. The fat man was so anxious that I grabbed him and said to the fat man and Shirley Young, "Don't panic, get your hair wet with the water in the kettle first." ”
The fat man said, "Isn't that a matter of care?" Besides, this little bit of water is not used at all...... What is it again? ”
The fat man was talking, and suddenly heard a rumbling sound on the wall of the hall, and we hurriedly turned our heads to look, and saw a big hole in the wall, and the dragon head of the mercury dragon that plunged into the map of the king ascending to heaven in the main hall in front of him actually passed through the partition wall of the apse.
A large amount of mercury erupted from the mouth of the dragon's head that emerged from the apse, and the ground was immediately filled with silver balls of all sizes. I was so anxious that I rushed to the top beam gate, and hurriedly said to the fat man and Shirley Yang: "The palace gate can't get out, and the top is the top of the Nanmu keel with glazed tiles, let's quickly go up to the stone tablet and blow up the roof of the temple from above." ”
The fat man also forgot his fear of heights, raised his hand and pointed to the stone tablet in the corner of the wall and said: "Only this monument is the highest, let's take a ladder to go up, hurry, hurry, it's going to be a mercury spot in the brightener." As he spoke, he had already rushed over, and Shirley Yang and I didn't dare to stop, avoiding the mercury under our feet, and jumped under the tall stone monument at the corner of the hall, and the three of us climbed up the stone monument by ladder.
Above this stone monument, it is the place where the upper body of the temple has a heavy makeup head and the lower half of the clothes are empty red witch clothes, but only here is it possible to climb the wooden beam on the top of the temple.
I hesitated a little, although I didn't see how she laughed, whether it was a corpse or a ghost, but in short, the female corpse with heavy makeup was not a good kind.
At the same time as I thought about it, three beast heads also poked out from the other three walls of the temple, which were also spitting mercury, and the floor of the temple was immediately covered with mercury. Even if there was a really powerful ghost on the top of the hall, I couldn't care about it, so I had to reach out and let the fat man drag me up the stone tablet.
At this time, Shirley Yang had already hooked the main beam of the temple with the flying tiger claw, jumped onto the beam of the Nanmu frame, and lowered the rope and pulley. The mercury in the hall was already very high, so I asked Shirley Young to hang the fat man on a zipline first, and I got on it last.
When he leaned down and looked down, the flowing mercury was already more than half a meter deep, and it was increasing rapidly, and the flames of the six-legged black tripod burning in the hall also dimmed. The firelight reflected countless flowing ripples on the surface of the mercury, making the light and shadow in the hall very beautiful, and even more strange.
At this time, the air in the temple was much thinner because of the flames, and the remaining few lepers fell to the ground and wriggled, half buried by mercury, and looked at the struggling appearance, without our hands, they could not live for a long time.
A large amount of mercury in the temple was forced by the temperature of the flames, emitting a pungent smell of hot mercury, the smell was extremely unpleasant, and it would be poisoned if it smelled too much, but fortunately it was not fatal in a short time. As soon as the fat man got on the wooden beam, I didn't dare to slack off, so I quickly hung up the rope and dragged myself up with a pulley.
As soon as I got on the wooden beam, I remembered the witch robe hanging on the top of the temple, and when I turned back from the main beam, the red woman's witch robe hung silently on a beam behind me, no more than a meter away from me, and in the reflection of the streamer, it looked like the clothes had life, swaying slightly.
Shirley Yang said that this is like the witch clothes worn by the "Shan Po" in the Yi people, although I have not seen it before, but I know that if it is related to the sacrificial activities of the king, there must be eyeball marks, and this red robe has no eyeball decoration, if it is a witch robe, it must be the clothing worn by the important people in the slaughter of the king.
At this time the three of us were on top of the girders that hung high on the roof of the temple, and below them was the ever-increasing amount of mercury, and the wood of the temple had just been roasted by the fire, and now the fire was extinguished, but it was still expanding with heat, and making a crackling sound. On this single-plank bridge, which was about to break, we all thought, isn't there a human head on the witch's robe?
Just now, the same group of murderous scabs were circling around, and they only cared about dodging the mercury and fire below, and almost every minute and second was a life-threatening urgency, so I forgot about the woman's head that emitted a grim sneer for the time being, and only then did I remember. How can the fire in the hall have been extinguished, between the wooden beams on the roof of the hall, it has become a black piece again, a set of strange clothes hanging in the middle of the air, with the light of the spotlight on the helmet to illuminate the past, even more shadowy, like a thousand years of ghosts hovering on the top of the palace.
The closest thing is the blood-colored women's witch robe, looking at the silhouette in the dark, there is indeed something in the upper body, but the head is covered by a short beam, and it is not real.
I gestured to the fat man and Shirley Young behind me and told them not to move yet. Mercury will not fill the apse for a while, and I will pass over the wooden beam to see if it is the evil ghost with the Yiren Shem attached to it in the witch robe.
"Shempo" is a witch who can take medicine and communicate with the gods in a state of hallucination, although the name is "Shempo", it is not necessarily an old woman, but it may also be young. Such a witch has a very high status among the Yi people, and in the name of God, she has all the right to speak.
I asked the fat man for his pickaxe, looked at the mercury on the ground, held my breath, and crawled over the wooden beam to the witch robe. It was a bloody woman's head, her face covered by her long stray hair, revealing only a narrow slit in the middle, and her head hung down and did not move at all.
I don't know how that eerie laugh came from, is it a zombie or a ghost? Legend has it that when zombies are burned by fire, they also make a scream like a night owl, but the laughter we heard just now was a kind of cold and sinister shriek. His grandmother's, you have to see it clearly, if there is a ghost, just blow up the glass roof of the palace, let the sunlight come in and extinguish its soul, even if you can't find out what is famous, you have to use a lighter to burn this strange set of clothes, so as not to leave trouble.
Although the hall was dark, it was daytime outside after all, and thinking of this, his courage was also strong, so he rubbed forward half a meter on the main beam, and this angle was just enough to fully see the low-hanging face of the witch-clothed corpse. I saw that the face was so white, not the kind of bloodless dead man's white, but because of the heavy makeup, a thick layer of powder, two pieces of red rouge on both cheeks, and red lips tightly closed.
But I still couldn't see her eyes from my position, and when I was about to poke the head of the female corpse with the pickaxe in my hand and make her lift it up a little more so that she could see it clearly, I heard the corpse suddenly burst into a sinister laugh at me, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey......, hey
Although I was prepared, I was still startled, and I hurriedly retreated, but I lost my balance, and my body shook, and I fell off the main beam, but fortunately I still had a rope hanging on my body, so that I would not fall into the mercury of the temple.
The moment I fell, I saw the light swaying on the mercury, and a thought suddenly appeared in my heart. There are a lot of strange places in the apse of Lingyun Heavenly Palace, especially this sudden mercury mechanism, although the exit is blocked, but the upper floor of this palace can easily break through and escape even if there is no explosives, so what is the point of this mechanism? Isn't it used against intruders, but to bury a secret hidden in this apse with a large amount of mercury......
