Volume 2 Adventures in Tibet Chapter 011 Ten Thousand Years of Phosphorus Fire
Xu Qian looked around, and there was silence all around.
The black blood has begun to coagulate from the wound we were bitten by the corpse worm, and it looks like it should be fine.
"There should be some secret passage here, otherwise the banshee wouldn't have disappeared out of thin air." Xu Qian judged.
"It's hard to know how to pierce walls." I replied half-jokingly.
Sister Meng and Dadi have already begun to look for clues separately to see if they can find some hidden passages and the like, judging from the current situation, this golden coffin was carefully planned and designed by the snake-headed banshee, and she was waiting for this moment of recovery.
"Sister Qian, I still don't understand, what do you say is the use of this white evil, even if it can really be resurrected from the dead, it is just to become a monster, what is the difference between this puppet we met before? It's just a year. ”
"This white evil is not the same as a puppet, the puppet is just a wisp of ghost, and the white evil has its own body and soul, but this white evil mind has been lost, and the so-called soul is actually just a trace of supporting physical activities, and it is also a void after all." Xu Qian said.
"Don't talk about this yet, let's look for it!" "I think this banshee is a bit evil, and it's always a scourge for her to keep it. ”
"Good!" I hadn't taken a few steps before I felt something under my feet, like a stone, but with a mechanical sound.
"Hey, what is this?" I bent down and picked up a small, boxy machine with a few buttons on it.
Although it was covered with dust, it was vaguely obvious that it should be a voice recorder. I sassafras with my cuffs, and a small screen appeared on the machine. Xu Qian came over to take a look and shook her head, "This shouldn't be brought in by us." ”
Then she turned her eyes to the corpses in the coffin and said, "It should be theirs." ”
I pressed the rusty button hard, and after waiting for a while, a sharp complaint appeared in the machine, "The surname Lin, you don't have to inch in, I respect you as the mayor of the town, but your heart is too big, aren't you afraid to kill yourself?" ”
"Mayor Mare?" I was shocked that the tape recorder had unexpectedly recorded the conversation between the old mayor and others, and I didn't want to think about it, and there was another person's voice in it, which was the old mayor's accent, "Bagel, I don't want to listen to what you say, you said that you came to this ghost cave if I didn't open the way for you." Can you do this smoothly? With the roaring sound of the machine, I can ask you to detain the slip for the crime of vandalism. ”
With the old mayor's words, the man who called Bagel was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.
I guessed in my heart that the two were probably making a deal, and the old mayor might be asking for a price, which caused the other party to be dissatisfied.
"The old mayor is really not a good bird!"
After being silent for a while, the man named Bagger spoke again, but his tone was much softer, "Mayor Lin, you did help a lot when you came in this time, but you also know that we have eight brothers this time, and four have died. Two more are missing. These are all brothers with families! The family comfort fee alone is a lot. There are a lot of treasures in this tomb, but you also have to have a life to take it, right? I'll give you the jade pendant you want. I'll give you an extra 20,000 for the rest. What do you think? ”
Jade pendant? I thought about it and figured out the truth, it must be that the old mayor used his identity as the mayor of the town to lure the wolf into the house, colluded with this group of people who poured out, and the treasures that were poured out were divided among several people.
"Hehe, the old mayor is still talking nonsense to me, saying that the jade pendant is a treasure handed down from his ancestors. I thought I was blind all the way and was stunned. Work hard for him, this time I caught you by the handle, see what you do! ”
"Hey, that's not right." Sister Meng's heart was as careful as a hair, and she immediately noticed that something was wrong, "Isn't the jade pendant already in his hands, then why did he lie to us?" ”
"Yes." Dadi also felt that something was wrong, "Besides, how did he know that we were going to be caught in the net?" ”
At this moment, a sudden violent scream came from the recorder. Caught off guard, my hand shook, and the tape recorder fell to the ground.
"Damn, it's scared to death!"
The screaming like a pig in this recorder is like that Bager, this miserable name, either the ancestral grave has been dug up, or his own life has been mortally threatened.
"I won't give the old mayor a shade!" I muttered, "This old mayor has a bad heart, Sister Qian, did you say that our trip is not on the road!" ”
"I could see early on that there was something wrong with him." Xu Qian said unhurriedly, "I'm just calculating." ”
"Oh?"
"The so-called people die for money, birds die for food, and the old mayor's purpose is to seek wealth, but you see, apart from this golden coffin, where is the treasure?"
"Could it be that he came for the golden coffin?"
"There have been wealth seekers since ancient times, and the most terrible thing is not for wealth."
"What's that?"
"Obsession."
"Obsession?"
I suddenly reacted, "Do you mean ......?"
"There is pity for the wretched."
At this time, Sister Meng and Dadi noticed the top of the grotto, and the light source that had just been extinguished was always a mystery.
"In addition to Gu, the core element of Baisha is one more essential thing." Sister Meng said.
"It's the light above."
"Freezing light?"
"That's right, I've never seen this extremely cold light, I've only heard Gu Ye talk about it once or twice before, saying that a long time ago, a cultivator Taoist found a phosphate mine in a mountain in the Kham region."
"Phosphate rock?"
"That's right, this Taoist priest accidentally ignited phospholite in the phosphate mine, I thought that the fire would burn the entire mine, but I didn't expect that this phosphorus fire emitted an unusually bright light, but this fire was extremely cold and chilling."
"What is the reasoning of this?" I was a little puzzled, "Isn't it an exothermic reaction to glow and heat, so it can be unusually cold?" ”
Xu Qian explained: "Sister Meng is right, this kind of phosphor of extremely cold light is called 10,000-year-old phosphorus fire, just like the grease of the shark in the deep sea, once it is dyed, it can be extinguished for 10,000 years. ”
"And this kind of thing."
"Therefore, this 10,000-year-old phosphorus fire is often used by tomb makers to make permanent lanterns, because it is very cold, especially suitable for placing in tombs, and it is safer than open flames."
"But since it won't be extinguished for 10,000 years, how did this fire go out?" I couldn't figure it out.
"This is the ingenuity of the design of this ghost cave, everything here is symbiotic, once the golden coffin is opened, the white evil inside is separated from the grotto, the 10,000-year-old phosphorus fire on this grotto will be extinguished, and the white evil Gu will die."
"In this way, the builder of this ghost cave is indeed an expert."
"The snake-headed banshee is very likely to be the leader of a tribe and a religious leader, she must have mastered Miao Jiang's White Demon Gu, so she carefully designed this ghost cave for herself."
At this time, a key point occurred in my mind, "The recorder has dropped here, which means that the person who has fallen into the bucket and the old mayor have been here, and they may have made a deal here." I knocked on the Tianling cover hard, and suddenly said.
"What Lin Kun said makes sense." Sister Meng thought it was, "I also think it's black eating black, maybe it's because after the old mayor came in, he knew that he couldn't achieve his goal by himself, so he tricked us in." ”
At this time, the coffin, which had never moved for half a minute, suddenly moved. The bottom plate of this coffin is a few hundred pounds, and it can be moved, or pushed from such a difficult position below, if it is an individual, it is definitely an expert with skill.
Heavy coffin slabs due to age. There is a grinding sound as it moves in contact with the ground, and a large amount of debris is brought down by the uneven ground.
The hollow, blood-red eyes that seemed to suck a person's soul out of my mind reappeared in my mind, and terrifying claws grew from my slender bruised fingers.
A very thin black shadow quickly passed over my ears, and when I reacted. I just feel a little cold in my ears.
When I touched my hand, it was full of blood.
I quickly turned around to look, because at the same moment, there was a crisp sound of glass breaking behind me, and on the brick wall three or four meters away, a crack in a spider web appeared like a pistol hit, but the hole in the middle was not as big as a bullet.
It's late, it's fast, I'm a cat waist, and it's a donkey rolling on the ground. I have to admit that it was good luck, if the needle-shaped hidden weapon was moved to the side a few centimeters, then it would not be the wall that would be broken, but my head.
After a while, there was no sound.
"Under the coffin!"
"Quick!"
A few of us didn't dare to delay, and we worked together, the bottom of the golden coffin was indeed not sealed, and a circular cave gradually appeared in my sight.
"Sister Qian, it's really empty down here."
"Be careful."
"Hmm."
At this time, I couldn't help but nervously take several steps back.
"According to my inference, since the snake-headed banshee has left a door for herself, it means that the layer above this ghost cave will collapse sooner or later, and after she leaves here, everything here will be buried in the ground."
I gritted my teeth, held a dagger in one hand, clenched my fist in the other, looked at the punching bag-sized fist, and said, "We are not afraid of her, but this thing can't let her live in the world, no matter who she is, no one can be an exception in the face of the laws of nature!" ”
"What if I want to live a long life?" Coldly, Xu Qian came up with such a sentence again, which made me a little at a loss, and I didn't know what to say, "Eh, this ......"
"Cut, tease you." Xu Qian sneered and laughed heartlessly, "When I become an old woman, you probably don't want me a long time ago." ”
"How is this possible!"
At this moment, there was movement under the coffin, like a girl's mournful complaint, quite desperate, and her voice was quite trembling......
