Chapter 8: Black Flame

It's also to blame for Rui's carelessness.

The scale of this turtle burial tomb is not large, the main burial chamber is empty, you can see it all at a glance, there is no mechanism, and the coffin is also rotten, so he is a little lax, and the rules that have always been strictly observed are also forgotten, without asking for incense, only wearing gloves to touch the corpse and opening the coffin board.

I saw a dry skeleton lying inside, covered with tattered and blackened bedding on top of the dry bones, and some inconspicuous burial goods were placed on both sides.

This should be his own ancestor, Zhen Rui secretly said that the ancestor couldn't help it, and gestured to the two subordinates behind him, signaling them to open their backpacks and prepare to pick up the bones in the coffin. This process of picking up the bones, of course, is done by Zhen Rui himself, no matter what, this is his ancestor, and he can't let outsiders toss it.

Even if Zhen Rui went to hold the head of the corpse first, some of the yellowed skulls were held in Zhen Rui's hands, which looked ancient and strange in the light. Just as he was holding his head and preparing to put it in his backpack, something suddenly flashed in the two black hole eye sockets of the skeleton, like some small bug, and as if an eyeball blinked instantly.

Zhen Rui was shocked, he was not a coward, and he said that there was something strange about skeletons? When you get closer, look into the hole. The pair of eye holes, like two black holes, seemed to have a huge attraction, Zhen Rui stared at the two holes, and suddenly found that his gaze could not be removed from the holes at all.

What's going on?

Zhen Ruixin couldn't say it well, and struggled to look away, but at this moment, he was suddenly stunned, because he saw something in the pair of dark holes.

When he said this, Zhen Rui's originally lukewarm look was covered with a layer of haze, and the whole person was even more gloomy.

Tofu couldn't help but say, "What can you see in the hole in your eyes?" Is it a 'husk'? ”

The corpse shell is also known as the 'corpse cockroach', and the corpse will breed a lot of maggots during the decomposition process, and when the flesh of the corpse is rotten, these maggots will also die. But on the other hand, another bug, commonly known as the corpse shell, will breed. No one knows exactly where they came from, but they are mainly found in places with dry bones, and are good at hiding in the cracks of bones or in the gaps of the floor tiles.

This insect is pitch black, like an aquatic beetle, most of them can't fly, and some of them are highly poisonous. It is said that a foreign expedition once entered a pyramid to investigate, and when they returned, they died strangely and violently, as if they were bitten by a corpse.

But after all, there are only a few poisonous corpse shells, and it is normal to see them in dry bones, as long as there are not many of them, they are not a threat to people.

After Tofu finished speaking, Zhen Rui shook his head slightly, I was facing his face, and I only felt that the expression on his face was unprecedentedly strange. The disfigured half of his face was like a demon, and his eyes seemed to bulge out of fear. But the disfigured half of his face, his thin lips pursed, and his slightly narrowed eyes gleamed with this essence.

After a while, he spat out a few words: "I saw destruction." ”

Tofu was stunned, scratched his head and said, "What kind of dumb riddle are you playing, I can't understand it with such a high IQ, Lao Chen, do you understand?" I couldn't help but shake my head.

See perdition in that skull? What does that mean?

Before I could speak, he continued, he only said about destruction, but what he saw in the skull, he didn't say it explicitly, he just signaled us not to rush, and then listened.

When Zhen Rui could move his gaze, he subconsciously threw the skull into the coffin, thinking about what he had seen before, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and immediately said to his two subordinates about the return trip.

One of his subordinates exclaimed, "Let's stop doing it?" ”

Zhen Rui said in a deep voice: "I can't do it anymore, if I do it again, I'll be finished." As he spoke, he was about to take people out of the turtle burial tomb, but when he looked up, he couldn't help but be stunned, because the robbery hole he had knocked down earlier had disappeared for some reason.

The two men were shocked, and one of them speculated, "Is there something unclean in here?" Have we encountered a ghost covering our eyes? "The so-called ghost blindfolding, that is, the ghost in the tomb, blindfolds people's eyes, so that people will see a lot of illusions in front of their eyes, even if the thief hole is on the top of their heads, they may not be able to see.

The other of his men immediately decided to light a candle, and the two of them took out a white candle and lit it, but in a moment, the flame of the candle turned black!

Even if there is something unclean in the tomb, under normal circumstances, the flame of the ghost's breath should be cyan, when did it turn black?

In this world, I am afraid that no one has ever seen a black flame, it beats, it can barely emit light, and the candle is quickly burned by its flame.

Zhen Rui looked at the black flames in front of him and remembered a legend.

From the perspective of modern science, as the temperature rises, the color of the flame is from red-orange to yellow-white, reaching more than 5,000 degrees, it will become cyan or blue, more than 7,000 degrees will turn purple, and then rising, it is the invisible ultraviolet ray, up to 10,000 degrees. But in the private sector, it is not classified according to temperature. Occasionally, some people would see some blue-blue, temperatureless 'ghost fires' among the tombs, and the flames did not actually reach the high temperature of 5,000 degrees.

Therefore, the folk classification in the past was very different from the present, when the flame was divided into five types, namely yellow, white, red, green, and black.

Yellow is the fire that we use to cook rice and boil water, such as candles and bonfires, which we call yang fire.

The ancients believed that the temperature of the white flame was the highest, and it did not belong to the fire that people could control, and it was common at the moment when lightning struck a tree, so it was called divine fire.

Red refers to the fire of the earth, some people describe the flames, like to say the red bonfire, in fact, the bonfire is not red, but orange, the real red flame, is the color of the underground magma, so the fire is also called the hellfire that burns evil spirits.

Cyan is called ghost fire, for example, when the ghost is panting, the yin energy covers the yang fire, and the flame will turn cyan.

And the black fire is not a normal flame, and the black fire is considered to be a witch fire.

Witch, that is, people who can communicate with the gods, people who can use divine power, since the beginning of the birth of human beings, witchcraft was born, with the evolution of history, witchcraft gradually evolved into the Tao, law, Yi, divination, divination, seal, qi and so on.

Witchcraft in the narrow sense refers to the vicious spells that use unknown power to cast spells, and when that power comes, if there is a yang fire around, it will perceive the advent of witchcraft, and under the confrontation between the two sides, it will turn into a black flame.

Zhen Rui looked at the situation in front of him, and said in his heart, no wonder there is no anti-theft mechanism in this ghost burial tomb, could it be that some evil magic has been laid?

Now that this black flame is shaking, how to deal with it?

If the hell was panting, he knew what to do, but the black light had never been. The two subordinates were also frightened, unable to speak for a while, looking at each other, their faces looked a little terrifying in the black flames.

After thinking about it, Zhen Rui remembered one thing, it is said that Yiwu, the prince of the Jin Kingdom, was persecuted because of the battle for the throne, and when he slept on the way to escape, the bonfire suddenly turned black, and Yiwu cried out: "Leaving the royal capital, how can it be gone." "It probably means to scold Jin Xiangong: You old thing, tiger poison doesn't eat children, Lao Tzu was driven away from the king by you and fled for his life, why didn't you let me go, and actually used evil magic to persecute me.

Yiwu likes to study the art of divination on weekdays, and in order to resist, he made a move at that time, dripping a drop of his own blood into the black flame, and then untied his clothes, folded it into the shape of dried tofu and put it in front of his feet, and 'cursed' at the east. While scolding, I saw that the clothes under my feet were bulging as if they were angry, and there was a black thing in the clothes, that is, the 'witch evil' that was immortal under the evil arts.

Yi Wu had already prepared, and immediately ordered the boys and girls accompanying him to soak the urine and sprinkle it on the thing, and the clothes gradually deflated, and the flames gradually turned into yang fire.

The method used by Yiwu can be summed up in three steps, one is to drop blood, which is said to be used to confuse the other party and let the evil find the wrong object. The second is to face the east and scold the evil, because the east is the land of the first and second green dragons, and the evil will not invade, and when the evil is scolded, the thing will be misled and the clothes will be used as a victim to get in. The third is to crack the evil art, the unformed evil art is easy to crack, and the most feared thing is the child's urine.

Zhen Rui thought to himself: As soon as the black flame came out, I was afraid that I would not be good this time, it seems that I underestimated my ancestors, this is not as simple as an ordinary ghost covering his eyes, I am afraid that the entire turtle burial tomb has been under a witch curse, and the reason why I can't get out is that I am afraid that I have been trapped in it.

Witchcraft gradually disappeared after the Qin and Han dynasties, and was replaced by orthodox Taoism.

And the one that really retains the primitive witchcraft is the shaman.

When I heard this, my heart moved, and I thought: Could it be that Zhen Rui's face was disfigured later because of that evil magic?

Hearing this, Tofu also asked: "I understand, your ancestor is too cunning, and he doesn't put a secret crossbow or set up a mechanism in the tomb, but instead gets these evil things, it's really impossible to prevent it." The pattern you've been tracking since then is inseparable from shamanism, tsk...... Come to think of it, your ancestor and the wizard of the time must have an untold story, and there is only one ...... truth."

Seeing that Tofu was about to be possessed by Conan again, I quickly knocked on the table to tell him not to guess, and motioned for Yuan Rui to continue.

I only heard him say: "At that time, I did it according to Yiwu's method, and inside the clothes, there was really a thing, black and slippery, like a ball of meat, we didn't have this thing like a child's pee, but I had a high-pressure musket on my body at that time, and I was going to burn that thing to death, who ......knows" Zhen Rui's eyes froze, and his face was very gloomy.

At this time, I noticed that there was a bodyguard-like person standing not far from the living room, and since it was not far away, I should be able to hear our conversation. When Zhen Rui said this, the muscles on the bodyguard's face, which was originally like a sculpture, suddenly twitched, as if he recalled something bad.

I immediately understood that this bodyguard, Bacheng, was one of the people who followed Zhen Rui to Wanguo Mountain at the beginning.

And what about the other person?
