I stared at the green light in the hole, and my brain was confused for a moment.

At this moment, I looked around, and the entire dark space was lit up with green points of light, and if it weren't for such an environment, it would even make people feel dreamy.

But I don't think this scenery is beautiful at all, because the current scene is simply beyond my imagination, and in the past, there were at least tens of thousands of lotus lanterns burning here, and these lotus lanterns were actually lit up at the same time.

Let's not think about what they burn by, just so many lights can be lit at the same time, it's a little unbelievable, I can't think of how these lights are lit, is it that under their base, there is actually natural gas?

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if it is really chaotic in time and space, and the natural gas is turned on, then who ignited the natural gas? Could it be a ghost?

I was stunned, like Lao Hu, staring at the lotus lamp stupidly, at this time, the voice of the fat man suddenly came from below, he was a little panting, and said: "Don't look at it, now we are still hanging in the air, the ghost knows what else there is, let's go down to the end first." ”

I came back to my senses and hurriedly said, 'Yes, while those corpses are gone, go down first.' "No matter how these lights are lit, they are certainly not used by the owner of the tomb to decorate, and at first glance it is that the visitor is not good, so it is better to find a position where you can put your feet on the ground before you can be sure.

"Wait!" Lao Hu suddenly snorted, raised his head and looked at me and the fat man above.

His throat slid slightly, and his expression was extremely strange, and then he slowly spoke, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Can't go down!" Do you know what kind of lamp this is? ”

Lao Hu's expression was very wrong, coupled with the weirdness of these lights, the miserable green swaying in the dark, like a ghost fire beating between the tombs, I also felt even more hung in my heart, lowered my voice, and said, "Brother Hu...... What is the origin of these lights? Do you know? ”

Lao Hu's gasping voice was obviously a little suppressed, he nodded, and then shook his head again.

The fat man couldn't hold back and roared, "Do you know or don't know?" Is this thing dangerous, is it time to sell it to you? ”

Lao Hu looked down at the bottomless abyss below, which was also covered with miserable green firelight, and our flashlights were drowned in the darkness, and the dim light was almost swallowed up.

Then, Lao Hu raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Wu Xie, you are still young, you may not know the doorway here." My ancestor is to touch the gold school captain, from the father passed down a lot of folk ghost arts, my father told me, said that the red flame lamp, the black tong soul, the shark oil Changming, the ghost fire channel, the fire seen in the ancient tomb, the ten ** do not leave these four, which is said to be the ghost fire channel, also known as the hanging lamp. ”

"Hanging lights?" This is a new word, and I remember that no one has ever mentioned it, but when I looked at the green light like ghost fire on the cliff wall, I suddenly realized that these miserable green lights were all made of brass into lampholders.

In folklore, brass is 'Tianjin', can be Jedi, everything contained in the brass basin, not grounded, not seen on the day, in the past folk marriage, the bride on the day of the wedding, but also pay attention to the brass basin to hit a basin of water, in the boudoir to wash the face, meaning dust and dirt, reborn, this basin of water is called 'hanging water'.

When I thought of this, I suddenly met and said in a low voice: "I've heard of hanging water, and I use it when I marry a daughter-in-law, but it's ...... What is the meaning of these hanging lights here? ”

The fat man hissed and said, "When Lao Hu said this, I remembered something, I heard that there are some places in Shanxi where people have died, in addition to putting everlasting lamps at the head of the coffin, there are also copper lamps at the feet, and I heard that ordinary lamp oil cannot be used." ”

I said, "Don't use ordinary lamp oil, can you use natural gas?" ”

Lao Hu took over and said: "Almost, but it's not natural gas, it's a special mineral, and the composition of phosphorus is somewhat similar, Shanxi folk call it 'black box fire oil', that thing scrapes down like pot ash, put it in a brass lamp, and after a long time, it will volatilize a gas, just a little bit." But...... Little fatty, you are wrong about one thing, the copper lamp placed at your feet will not be lit under normal circumstances, the lamp is used to test the corpse qi, once the copper lamp is on, it is the 'ghost lamp'.

I was stunned for a moment, and said casually: "Then this ghost is really busy, and he has to light the lamp again, and he has to blow the lamp if he has nothing to do." ”

The fat man said, "It's not ...... This ghost is too good to toss. ”

Then, no one spoke, and after a while, I felt that my voice was a little hoarse, and asked Lao Hu below, "Brother Hu, you have to mean that these hanging lights ...... Is it a soft zongzi order? ”

The fat man also said: "The fat man has been pouring buckets for more than ten years, and he is running two when he sees it, and those zongzi have not helped me light them except for blowing my lamp, I said Lao Hu...... Is this reliable? ”

I originally wanted to step on the mud with both feet first, and then talk about it down-to-earth, but now I don't dare to move, the three of them are hanging on the rope, the faces of the fat man and Lao Hu are all illuminated by the hanging lamp with a strange miserable green, I don't know if it's an illusion, those two faces have been seen for a long time, and there is a faint hideousness.

Somehow, there was a chill on my neck, and I quickly closed my eyes and shook my head, and when I opened my eyes again, I saw that the fat man was still fat, Lao Hu was still Lao Hu, and the expressions of both of them were quite heavy.

I felt empty in my heart, I felt that it was not a way to stay like this, there was a flying ant king in this cliff, and there was a corpse, it was really not a place to stay for a long time, so I asked Lao Hu, and said: "This hanging lamp is strange, but it is useless for us to hang like this, simply, let's go down first, and when the time comes, it doesn't matter if it is ordered by zongzi or people, only by stepping on the ground can we resist." ”

The fat man also agreed, but Lao Hu didn't even move his buttocks, he licked his chapped lips, shook his head and said: "If it's just a ghost lighting a lamp, forget it, but I just said that the ghost fire leads the way, my father once called that if the ghost lamp is lit up in the tomb, it means that the yin and rot in the tomb are extremely heavy, and it is more terrible than blowing the lamp, and you must leave immediately. ”

A lamp and a rice dumpling?

I looked at the dense more than 10,000 hanging ghost lamps, and my scalp suddenly went numb.

No wonder so many lights are lit at the same time, is there tens of thousands of zongzi lighting at the same time?

I guess my face must not look good at the moment, and I can't even stabilize the gag character of the fat man.

After Lao Hu finished speaking, his face became a little more solemn, and he said: "The corpses that appeared just now show that there were many corpses piled up around here, and those flying ant kings may have grown up eating corpses." ”

In this cave, except for the location of the nest of the flying ant king, all the places that can be seen clearly are pitch-black stone walls, if there is really a place with a lot of corpses in this vicinity, then it must be in the ......

I looked down and saw that the flashlight had gone out.

Could it be that there is no power?

Thinking about this, I suddenly felt that something was wrong...... According to the brightness of the flashlight before, we are now at least forty or fifty meters away from the bottom of the cave, and at such a high distance, the flashlight should have broken if it fell, but just now, we also saw the light of the flashlight.

Doesn't that illustrate...... Underneath the cave, it's actually a softer place?

So what will it be?

Slush?

Or is it a carrion?

I moved my nose, the air was stuffy, there was a dull airflow that had been closed for a long time, but there was no particularly obvious smell of corpses decomposing.

The meaning of these words is obviously that those large numbers of corpses must be down there, and according to the current situation, it seems that this is the only possibility.

It's no wonder that Lao Hu hesitated, the huge number of corpses, the suddenly lit ghost lights, these combined factors, I'm afraid no one will have the courage to rush down again.

My arms began to tremble, and my heart was also worried, the three of them were silent for a long time, the fat man couldn't help it first, and said with a rare serious analysis: "Lao Hu, your father told you back then, when you encounter a ghost lighting a lamp, you must quit quickly, but the three of us, even if you want to quit now, it is impossible, unless the two of you are willing to sit by the door and wait for death." ”

I quickly shook my head and said, "Rather than waiting to die in the dark, I'd rather jump off a cliff and die." ”

The fat man said again: "Also, look around here, there are all black rocks, the same as the rocks of Longyin Peak, now we have entered the inside of Longyin Peak, even if the little brother is powerful, he can only fight the earth thief cave alone, do you still expect him to rely on a few Luoyang shovels to fight a stone thief hole?" ”

Lao Hu and I glanced at each other, and shook our heads at the same time, no matter how powerful the stuffy oil bottle is, it is also a flesh-and-blood person, not a steel machine, if we really nest in this grotto, even if the stuffy oil bottle comes to save us, I am afraid that it will be powerless.

The fat man saw us shaking his head, gritted his teeth, and said: "Isn't this over, I'm afraid of ghosts, I'm not afraid of ghosts, and if I continue to consume like this, I'll die too, no matter how many zongzi there are under it, come and cut one, come and cut ten in a row, and pour the sand, it's the business of hanging the waist of the pants on the head, we can rush out alive, it's we who earned it, even if we die, we have to find a convenient place for the little brother to collect the body, don't you say?" ”

As soon as the fat man said this, a thought of recklessness also rose in my heart, and I immediately said: "As the old saying goes, one is suppressing all evils, let's go down, and go down!" ”

Lao Hu was probably still a little hesitant, but seeing that I and the fat man had made up our minds, and now I couldn't think of a way, so I nodded in agreement, and the fat man listened to me say that he was suppressing all evils, and immediately said: "**said: In order to fight ghosts, with the help of Zhong Kui, listen to the fat man give you a piece of the quintessence of "Zhong Kui Catching Ghosts", and howl after speaking: There is a whip in hand, and you have to ring and ring ~~~~"

When he sang, his voice echoed in the empty cave, not only did it not have the effect of raising courage, but there was a strange echo, as if there were countless ghosts laughing, Lao Hu quickly pinched him and said, "Don't make a sound, let's hurry up." ”
