I shrank my neck in fright, took several steps back, leaned against a pillar behind me and hurriedly looked again, but there was nothing on the ground, it was completely dark.

What creeps me out is that I saw the shadow before, it seemed to be a somewhat hunched figure, and it only had an upper body.

"Am I mistaken?"

At this time, the fat man and the ninth brother climbed in. "What's wrong?" The fat man saw that there was something wrong with my face and asked.

"Nothing right, where are we going? These corridors and pavilions are all open, and the black lights blind the fire, will it be dangerous? I turned my head and said.

"Where there are so many dangers, this is only in front of the temple, and there are no obstacles around, there should be no such thing." The fat man said.

"There's no way, so could there be a ghost?" I couldn't help but think back to what I had just seen.

"Hey, you're sick, aren't you? It's so decent, why do you mention those things? The fat man glared at me unhappily.

Fat people are taboo about these, and Brother Jiu also said to me: "Young Master of the Yuan family, don't talk about this kind of thing casually." This is an ancient tomb after all, and it's not strange that there is such a thing, but if you say it, you're afraid that something will accidentally make a mess. ”

"Oh, okay, let's stop talking nonsense, just choose a path and go." The fat man waved his hand, and then walked straight to the front. Seeing the direction he was going, I was a little stunned in my heart, so I didn't choose it, and the fat man walked to the corridor where the shadow appeared. "Why are you stunned, let's go."

I had no choice but to forge ahead. When I came to the back of the column, I couldn't help but look back a few more times, and after finding that there was nothing abnormal, I calmed down a little.

The whole pavilion is an amazing stone structure. But the floor under our feet was made of wood, and we could hear our own dull footsteps as we walked up.

It's monotonous inside, except for some carvings on the fence, the rest of the place seems to be new. The fat man and Brother Jiu talked about the origin of those carvings from time to time, but to no avail.

I focused all my attention on the pillars around me, looking at the ground from time to time, hoping that I would find something, but I was afraid of what I would actually see.

Although the corridors and pavilions are all connected, there is no specific rule. After the fat man chose a general direction, we had to follow the connection points between the porches and pavilions in front of us. to determine which way to go.

It was easy at first, but after walking for more than half an hour, we found that the scene in front of us had not changed in any way, and we took the miner's lamp and shone forward. The pavilion seemed to be endless, stretching into the darkness ahead.

"Fatty. We can't be lost, right? I asked in a low voice.

Fat people are confident in their judgments. Shaking his head at me, "I don't think it's out of direction, but this place seems a little too long." ”

After saying that, we all looked back, and suddenly, the three of us began to beat the drum in our hearts. It doesn't matter if it's in front of us or behind us. It looks like it's all the same. This feeling is not the same as similarity, it is simply complete equivalence. It's like the two ends of a mirror.

Brother Jiu also began to mumble, "Brother Cao." Why don't we go back and wait until dawn? ”

"It's okay to turn back, but that's redundant." The fat man said, "The snow outside is so heavy that you will probably freeze to death if you sleep in the place where we came." Even if we can't get out, we can only rest in place. ”

"Then you might as well keep going." I said.

"So let's not stop, let's talk about it when we're really sleepy."

After the fat man finished speaking, the three of them continued to move forward.

One thing is still good for us: the further we go inside, the quieter the snow becomes, and although we can't see the change in front of us, at least it shows that we are going in and not going around in circles.

But despite this, we kept walking like this, and we couldn't see the end of these pavilions, and we were still very nervous. As they walked, the three of them all slowed down. The fat man seemed to be engaged in a psychological struggle, but in the end he stopped.

"Alright, let's sleep here." As he spoke, the fat man put down the salute directly.

Naturally, Brother Jiu and I didn't dare to go inside, so I leaned under a pillar and said, "I feel like we might really be lost." ”

The fat man was noncommittal, but he also sighed. "Damn, when you come in, it would be nice if you chose the side road to go inside, this special mother can't even find a reference."

"Hmph, now it's useless to say this, isn't it your excitement to play the first card?"

The fat man has always been a brush-off on his mistakes, and immediately asked me if I wanted to fight the landlord, and threw me a cigarette.

There's nothing to do anyway, and it's cold here, but it's much better than in the snow. It just so happened that there were three of us, and the landlord also woke up after a while.

As soon as we turned our heads, we found that Brother Jiu was staring at the dome of the pavilion, looking up vigorously. Before we could ask him what he was doing, Brother Jiu immediately said in surprise: "I said two, you guys take a look at the top." ”

The fat man and I didn't bother to get up, so we lifted the miner's lamp and shone it up, but all we saw was pitch black.

"What's wrong? I didn't see anything. The fat man said.

But I reacted immediately and got up from the ground. The fat man first looked at me in a daze, then his mind flashed, and then he stood up.

That's a big problem. The dome of the pavilion is only a few meters above the ground, and the effective sight distance of the miner's lamp in our hand at night is 50 meters, but after the real light is illuminated, it seems that the bottom cannot be seen, and there is not even a circle of light on it. This situation only occurs when the miner's light shines into a dark hole, and it happens above our heads, which is very weird.

Even if it's black paint, we should see the miner's light ring, and we can't see anything, and that's the biggest problem.

"Why don't we climb up and have a look?" I asked.

The fat man and the ninth brother both nodded. Then, Brother Jiu stepped on the fence on the edge of the pavilion, tried it, felt that his feet were stable, and then jumped up.

This guy's leg strength is really not small, and he jumps up to a meter high. The hand touched the dome with a soft "pop" sound.

But before he could land, the ninth brother immediately screamed, and then he covered his right hand that slapped towards the dome and half-squatted on the ground.

We hurriedly ran over and saw that there were some very small blood holes on the palm of Brother Jiu's right hand, as if they had just been pierced by steel nails.

", there's something up there." Brother Jiu scolded. Then we all looked up vigilantly.

We thought it was empty, but now it doesn't seem right, but what kind of mine light shines on it, but we can't see anything?

Just as we were looking up, I suddenly saw the dark dome. There was a very, very thin little white dot of light, flashing and flashing. Like fireflies. I just wanted to call the fat man to watch. Suddenly, many of the same points of light gradually appeared around that small point of light, and in an instant, the position above our heads was completely enveloped.

We were all speechless with astonishment, and we saw that the points of light were like gushing rivers. It began to spread rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, a sparkling white band of light appeared in our eyes. It was a galaxy that spread out in the direction of the pavilion, and the misty light sprinkled around us. The gloomy pavilion instantly became as transparent and graceful as snow.

As the white galaxy continues to spread in a direction that we can't see, a shocking picture appears above our heads.

These points of light followed the trajectory of the pavilion on the dome to form a huge white swastika (wan) one after another, and for a moment, I even thought that I had arrived at the holy place of Buddhism, and countless "swastika" mantras emerged from the sky. An indescribable sense of sacredness flooded over us, and the three of us couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Could it be that the construction of these pavilions has any connection with Buddhism?" Brother Jiu couldn't help but ask.

Swastika - is a very ancient symbol, originated from some tribes in ancient times, and many ancient ruins in the world have found the symbol of the "swastika". Later, it was placed on the chest of Shakyamuni by Buddhism as one of the 32 phases of the Buddha.

The swastika is a symbol of auspiciousness and is not usually found in tombs, especially in our ancient tombs in China. Therefore, it is really puzzling that such a mysterious structure appears at the entrance of the Phantom Snow Forbidden City.

"Oh, that's not right." Brother Jiu suddenly shook his head again, "This is not a swastika, but a swastika." ”

We were all stunned, and the fat man said: "What a thousand things, blessed, don't be a fat man who is uneducated, this special mother is Nian wan." ”

"No, no, no, you see, the swastika is like that, the fan leaf, the left-handed one is pronounced swastika, but the right-handed one should be pronounced swastika."

The fat man and I were a little confused by him, "swastika" I scratched my hair and asked Brother Jiu, "This reading is different, is there any difference?" ”

Brother Jiu smiled, "This, I don't know what to do." But let's look at things carefully. ”

"Hey, you're looking for fault to educate the two of us to be uneducated, right?" The fat man said.

"Don't talk about that yet." I patted the fat man, "Now the question is, what exactly are these white dots of light?" ”

Only then did the two come back to their senses, and Brother Jiu looked at his right hand, "It must be those things that broke my hand just now." ”

"Did you feel anything just now?" I asked Brother Jiu.

Brother Jiu thought about it, "I didn't feel that I touched anything, but my palm suddenly hurt." But the dome was erect, but it felt like a grain of sand when I touched it. ”

"Why don't you do it again?" The fat man said.

"I'm not going." Brother Jiu immediately glared at the fat man.

The fat man smiled, "Why are you so serious, you fat man and I have a way." As he spoke, the fat man took off his down jacket and grabbed the cuffs of one end.

We understood at a glance that the fat man wanted to use his clothes to throw off a piece of light from it. That's a good idea, too.

According to the fat man's height, he only had to jump up and wave his hand, and we all stepped back a little, so as not to pat him on the face later.

I leaned against the pillar before me and looked at my feet, afraid of stepping on my bag.

But as soon as I looked down, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a strange-looking shadow beside the shadow of the pillar at my feet.

"Ugh!" I gasped in fright, but at that moment, all the white spots above my head instantly dimmed. The fat man jumped up. The darkness also startled him, and he immediately fell to the ground.

When the light above our heads came up just now, we all subconsciously turned off the miner's lamp, and our feelings were all gentlemen who advocated saving points in the tomb robbery world, but as soon as those light spots dimmed, we immediately fell into darkness.

The fat man lay on the ground and screamed: "Yuan Jie, I grass your grandma, what's your ghost name?" ”

"There's something! I've got something behind me! I exclaimed, but I did not dare to move, for fear that I would run into the owner of the shadow at once.

Brother Jiu is still calmer. He was the first to turn on the miner's lamp.

"Don't worry, I'll see." Brother Jiu immediately shone behind me, "No, what did you see?" ”

"I" I was about to tell him, but then I saw it. On Brother Jiu's shoulder, it seemed that there was something white lying on his stomach for a moment. Cold sweat soaked all over my body. I found that lying on his left shoulder was actually a miserable white human hand.

Seeing my widening eyes, Brother Jiu had already sensed that something was wrong, he squinted his eyes, and slowly turned his head to his left shoulder.

He didn't notice it, but I saw it clearly.

Just when Brother Jiu turned his head to the left. The hand slowly slid down, and then, a strange head poked out from the right shoulder of the ninth brother.

My face turned green with fright, and I stared at the head. After pointing for a long time, I couldn't say a word.

It was so weird that there seemed to be three huge nodules on the head, and a few strands of hair seemed to be pulled down from above, and the face below was only half exposed, and I saw that it seemed to have no eyebrows, but its nostrils grew in the middle of the eyes, and they were slanted downward.

At first, I thought its eyes were very round, but then I found out that it didn't even have eyelids at all, and there was a pair of eyes in its sockets. The skin on its face was covered in patches of corpse spots. It's like that's a guy who's getting old and losing his skin.

"On the right!" At the critical moment, the fat man really did it better than me, and he got up and saw the thing and immediately yelled.

Brother Jiu is an old man, and it is not once or twice that he encounters a sneak attack on zongzi in the ancient tomb. Hearing the fat man's shout, he immediately turned his body one hundred and eighty degrees to the left, and at the same time stretched out his right hand behind his back, trying to tear the thing off.

But the speed of his attack was obviously too slow, and the monster jumped from his back and climbed onto the pillar behind the ninth brother.

Only then did we see the whole picture, and it turned out that the thing really only had half a body. Its hands were unusually slender, like a woman's hands.

The thing didn't seem to be afraid of us, and after stopping at the pillar, it let go of a hand and turned to look at us. The skin on its belly was like rags, but when I looked at it, it was all stunned.

"Miss, look, there's a word written on that thing's stomach, can you see if it's the one in the hallway?" The fat man shouted.

I nodded immediately. However, the writing on the object's stomach was not written, but more like a wound left by a soldering iron or a knife.

Brother Jiu was a little annoyed now, "Damn, I almost killed Lao Tzu." With that, he drew his knife and prepared to go up and fight the thing.

In fact, we didn't see anything powerful about that thing, and its half body was less than half a meter, and Brother Jiu felt that he had no reason not to fight. But I stopped him.

"You see that thing isn't afraid of us at all, I think it's better to be careful."

Brother Jiu suppressed the anger in his heart, but the fat man handed the gun over, "Miss is right, but we are modern tomb robbers, you are polite, the bullets are full." ”

This made sense, Brother Jiu took the gun and shot it at the head of the thing. With a bang, the bullet hit the head of the thing impartially, and the thing threw the bullet back a hundred and eighty degrees, but it did not fall off the pillar, and immediately after, it threw its head back, and no blood came out of the big hole in its head.

I was surprised, but Brother Jiu seemed to be even more angry, he picked up the gun and came four times in a row, but until the head of the thing was smashed into mud, it still held on to the pillar steadily, and was still shaking at us slightly.

At this time, Brother Jiu and the fat man were also a little dumbfounded. Experience tells us that any living creature that can't be killed by a bullet must be extremely ferocious. And what puzzled us was that the thing didn't move, as if it was deliberately placed there for us to fight.

My heart was cold, and I suddenly had a sense of foreboding. The zongzi in the ancient tomb can't be seen as animals, maybe this thing is playing some kind of ghost idea.

As I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt an itch on my face, and when I looked sideways, I saw a long strand of hair pulling on my face. As I reached out and was about to pull it, I immediately thought of something, and I couldn't help but feel a faint breath behind my ears.

I stretched out a hand and tried to sneak over the fat man to help me take a look, but when I looked at it sideways, I immediately stiffened with fright, and almost pumped it on the spot.

I saw that the backs of the fat man and the ninth brother were already crawling with dozens of monsters with only half of their bodies in front of them. They were like little women, snuggling up to the backs of the fat man and the ninth brother in a leaning posture, tilting their heads, and showing a satisfied expression on their faces.

And when I saw them, they all turned their eyes to me. A slight smile appeared on the face without eyelids.

Needless to say, my back is certainly not much better.

The fat man was still there studying the one on the pillar, when Brother Nine suddenly turned his head slowly towards me, and a strange smile appeared on his face, and he looked at me with satisfaction, almost exactly the same expression as the monsters on his back. (To be continued......)
