Chapter 32: Bugs Drilling into the Skin
"The triple gate I am talking about has nothing to do with Han Han's novel, which is a pattern when it was built in ancient times, also known as triple fantasy. The order of the yang world is completely reversed, with hell on top, coffin in the middle, and heaven below. "I explained, this is equivalent to the Yang family's ancestral mausoleum, there are actually three floors, and the first layer will definitely go to the first floor. The second layer, although it is said to be heaven, I don't think it will be a good thing. And the third layer is the coffin tomb of the Yang family.
The text on the half-cut stone tablet is definitely a sacrificial text for the construction of the triple gate. It's just that there are three entrances to this ancestral tomb, and unless there are drawings, no one can guess which is hell, which is heaven, and which is the tomb that goes straight to the coffin.
"Leave it to fate!" I took out a coin and said to Yao Wenju, "If we throw out the flowers, we will enter through the southwest entrance, and if we throw out the words, we will go to the south entrance to enter the mausoleum." ”
"What about this entrance? Did you give up? Yao Wenju asked curiously
What he said made me stunned for a moment, yes, what about this hole, did you give up like this?
Of course not, I thought about it, in addition to the flowers and words on the coin, there is a third possibility, that is, it stands upright, not on both sides! However, the odds are slim, so faint that it's harder than winning the lottery.
"If the coin stands upright, we'll choose this entrance!" With that, I didn't talk nonsense and threw the coin straight up.
A second later, Yao Wenju and I both looked at the ground in amazement, the coin fell from the sky, and after several circles, it actually stood upright, as if it had sunk into the dirt, and did not fall to either side of the flower.
"Providence," I glanced at this entrance with complicated eyes, and this walk-in, whether it is dead or alive, heaven or hell, depends on luck.
As I spoke, I walked ahead of me and walked towards the hole in front of me.
"Slow down ......" Yao Wenju stopped me: "Didn't you say that people light candles and ghosts blow out lamps?" Isn't it child's play for us to go in like this, we don't even have a Luoyang shovel. ”
I...... Grass and mud horses, read too many novels!
Since the last conversation in the basement of Yao's castle, I firmly believe that Yao Wenju is a 100% novel master, but I didn't expect that in addition to watching martial arts, he actually dabbled in tomb robbery novels.
However, what he said reminded me that although there are three holes and three gates, it may be a puzzle set up by the ancestors of the Yang family, and there is a one-third chance of entering the tomb. But there is no doubt that the tomb has existed for so many years, and there must have accumulated a thick miasma underground, and if you want to enter it, you really have to do enough prelude work.
After thinking about it, there was no prepared treasure on his body now, so he drew two talismans, folded them into a triangle and stuffed them into his mouth. According to rumors, the content of Fu Jian can avoid yin and evil qi, and I haven't tried the specific effect, I just hope that Master Zu won't pit me.
Stuffed Yao Wenju with a charm, told him to hold it under the tip of his tongue, took out a strong flashlight from his car, and I took the first step into the thief hole.
It's a little strange to say, whether it is recorded in the wild history, or passed down from generation to generation from the mouth of the old man, the tomb should be extremely difficult to enter, even if you find the hole and dig it with the Luoyang shovel, it will take at least a few days and a half months. Moreover, in the stories told by the old man, there are always some maze or extremely difficult ghosts and monsters in the graves of dignitaries.
However, this time Yao Wenju and I are moving forward unimpeded, this girl is not like a tomb, but like a cave carved out of nature.
The environment inside the passage is unusually humid and dark, and from time to time you will encounter some white bones. Strangely, these white bones are not human, but the remains of some small animals.
Of course, this was only encountered not long after entering. As he went further, as he entered the tomb deeper, the flashlight revealed more than one skeleton.
"It seems that the two of us are not the only ones who want to steal the Yang family's tomb, long before us, there are countless people who want to enter the Yang family's ancestral tomb through these passages! I admire Yao Wenju very much, holding Ye Qi with one hand, covering his mouth with the other, and holding a strong flashlight under his armpit, he actually opened up to speak.
I stretched out my index finger and shook it a few times, I didn't agree with Yao Wenju's words, what is theft, we entered the ancestral tomb of the Yang family to find someone, and it has nothing to do with theft.
"Brother Wen, be careful, these people died before they entered the ancestral tomb of the Yang family, they must have encountered an accident. You have to be a little more careful with Mrs. Yang on your back. I don't know why, I always feel that this ancestral tomb of the Yang family is weird. "I don't know it from the bottom of my heart, but I can't say it.
I crouched down and looked at a few white bones outside the passage, and the fabric on their bodies was either not left with rotten slag, or only a little bit of scrap remained, and from the analysis of the scrap on the cloth, they should be people from before the 60s.
"From the outside of the passage to the inside, two or three people died on the road in succession. What danger are they encountering? "I'm very confused, and I can't think of a clear idea, after all, since entering the Yang family's tomb, Yao Wenju and I haven't even touched the danger of half a dime, let alone ghosts, even if it is a snake, insects, rats and ants that breed in the tomb, they are all dead white bone corpses.
Entering the tomb, the environment is dim, and the surrounding mud and rock walls also have the feeling that they are about to collapse at the slightest touch. So Yao Wenju and I were also very cautious. In addition, what makes us even more impatient is that the tomb of the Yang family is like a labyrinth, with many forks, and some intersections are still connected, back and forth, several times from the origin, but back to the origin.
"It's not a way for us to go on like this!" Yao Wenju wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the deeper he went into the tomb, the thinner the air became, and he even felt difficult to breathe.
"If you don't go, you can't help it!" I was sweating profusely and panting. But what no one expected was that after saying this, I actually collapsed to the ground suddenly.
I didn't fall down because of lack of oxygen, but I used my own feelings to describe it, but I suddenly felt that my whole body was weak, and my hands and feet were weak, as if all my strength was drained, so I couldn't move.
I struggled to get up, but was held down by Yao Wenju.
"Don't move" Yao Wenju held me down, grabbed my arm, and untied the belt to tie my biceps. Then both hands grabbed the muscles below my shoulders and dragged them down vigorously.
With his unorthodox massage, I suddenly noticed a small circle on my arm.
Yao Wenju seemed to have pushed something off my arm.
I took a closer look, damn it, these protruding dots seemed to have something squirming inside, even if my arm was numb by Yao Wenju's massage, I still had this strange feeling.
I was about to ask, but Yao Wenju took out a dagger from his waist. The dagger shimmered with a cold light, and damn it, did he want to kill someone.
The knife flashed, and before I could react, my arm was suddenly picked open by Yao Wenju.
In the midst of the blood splashes, I saw a scene that I will never forget.
After Yao Wenju opened a hole, an insect jumped out of my arm, and the speed of the insect was very fast, and the moment it jumped out, it disappeared into the soil of the tomb.
Still, when I looked up, I saw the bug as it was. Because, Yao Wenju's dagger tip is holding one.
It's a long, dark worm, like a maggot in a toilet, but the hair on the worm is much longer than the maggot in the dung canal, and the hair is stained with my blood, which looks weird.
Looking at this disgusting bug, I trembled so much that the hair on my whole body stood up, and my little heart was called that spasm, and I almost threw up.
"What is this! I endured retching and asked Yao Wenju in horror.
Yao Wenju turned his blade and picked out a bloody hole in my arm again, and said in a calm tone: "This should be the unique maggots in this tomb, which specifically burrow into people's skin to suck blood." Your hand touched those skeletons, and I think that's where these maggots got into your arms! ”
"Damn, according to you, these worms will suck my blood dry, and I'll die?" I shuddered twice, and the image of these bugs burrowing through my body came to mind, sucking my blood and devouring my internal organs. Then I ended up like the bones I saw in the passage.
This picture is so beautiful when you think about it, so beautiful that it is so miserable that even the forensic doctor who dissected the corpse can't stand it.
"I don't know where these insects crawled to your body, I hope they didn't swim over your arm, so you can still be saved!" Yao Wenju pondered bitterly.
I said that if you want to save you, you can save it quickly, but if it doesn't work, you can call 120, and I will never give up treatment.
"120, that's what you have to do." Yao Wenju pursed his lips and said cleanly: "It's not a way to pick with a knife, just roast it with fire."
As he spoke, Yao Wenju pinched the law with both hands, muttered a spell, and then slapped his heart violently, spurting out a little blood.
With a pop, hot blood poured onto Yao Wenju's middle finger, and then, Yao Wenju roared, and his middle finger actually ignited a bright red flame.
Looking at the flames, I instinctively wanted to run away. Unexpectedly, my hands and feet were weak, so I could only watch Yao Wenju lean towards me with his middle finger raised.
Damn, even if it's a maggot, you don't need to make your heart burn. Is it because you have blood and no place to vomit, or if you look at me and want to roast me to death
"Don't move, I'll burn it now, bear with me." Yao Wenju grabbed my shoulder expressionlessly, and under my horrified gaze, the flame slowly leaned towards my arm.
It's over, this time it's really a grilled sea cucumber! I covered my eyes, couldn't bear to look at the arm that was about to be put on the fire frame, and quietly waited for Yao Wenju's ravage, feeling very nervous like a prisoner on the execution ground.
