Could it be the psychological effect, chatting with them about so many strange things tonight. Tan Xiao thought to herself.

There was only the sound of generators vibrating and the sound of high-wattage lights dissipating heat, and everyone else was silent and in no mood to do anything else.

That gaze seemed to be just a fleeting moment, and it brought up a little goosebumps.

Tan Xiao said silently: "Do you feel ......?"

As soon as he spoke, everyone looked at him.

It's even a little weird.

In this environment, what Tan Xiao has to say is likely to lead to an even more eccentric atmosphere in the future. This made him hesitate a little, and finally looked at the ground: "I think I heard a rustling sound, a lot like ......"

"The snake is crawling."

Tan Xiao thought of what it looked like, it was a snake.

It is said that humans are naturally afraid of snakes, probably because humans have been intimidated and harmed by poisonous snakes since their origins, and this fear is engraved into their DNA, making them extra vigilant against snakes.

"Be careful."

"There are a lot of snakes in Nanchu, my friend works in the emergency department, especially in summer, many people go to the park to climb the mountain and are bitten by snakes to be sent to serum, and they are all poisonous snakes, what bamboo leaves are green, five steps down."

Chu is lush with vegetation and has always been a good place for snakes to survive.

As soon as Tan Xiao said this, everyone became vigilant and slapped around with a stick, but they didn't find anything, and it was possible that they had startled the snake and had already driven away the uninvited guest.

Thorn la la.

The walkie-talkie rang again.

"Phew, we're in the Frontrooms now, the air isn't very good, take a break. Here, there is actually an altar! ”

Ji Lao's voice was panting, and he was a little excited, "Usually we think that since the Han Dynasty, there are sacrificial facilities inside and outside the tomb, but the characteristics here are obviously the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which is too rare. ”

Because the progress has stalled, they have not been able to explore the entire tomb, and the tomb road has not been completely cleaned up, and the details of this exploration road make Ji Lao eager to start research immediately.

"Okay, Ji Lao, be careful." Mu Fei didn't quite understand his excitement, and only told him repeatedly.

"What sound? Did you hear that? ”

"Are there any bugs?"

There was a faint conversation over the intercom.

Mu Fei immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"There seems to be something in the burial chamber...... It should be a snake insect, I didn't see it clearly, we brought insect repellent, now spray it. There was only a moment of panic, but it quickly stabilized.

Hearing the snakes, Tan Xiao's heart jumped, and she originally wanted to go back to the prefabricated house to wait, but now she can't walk a little.

Did they hear the same movement as me?

Below, Ji Lao and the others just rested for a while, and then continued to move, not long after they went from the front room to the coffin, they kept communication, and carefully searched near the witch figurines.

About twenty minutes later, an archaeologist's voice rang out: "...... Is it it? ”

Everyone gathered around, and Ji Lao said to the other end of the walkie-talkie: "Xiaotan classmates are there, right?" Now we find a wooden thing, not sure if it belongs to the magic weapon, but it must be a spiritual vessel, only the size of a palm, it is a square wooden strip wrapped in a ribbon, it has decayed, and the front part has carved out a feather, which is fan-shaped. ”

Tan Xiao was stunned for a moment.

"Xiaotan, did you hear that?"

The sound on the other end of the intercom is choppy.

"I hear you!" Tan Xiao suddenly looked at the ground, he swore that he heard some kind of slapping sound underground, "Didn't you hear? There is a sound below. ”

But the others were at a loss.

Tan Xiao took two steps back, an instinct that drove him out of here.

"What's wrong with you?" Mu Fei took two steps forward strangely and reached out to pull Tan Xiao.

In an instant, the scalp almost exploded, and Tan Xiao ran away!

But at this moment, the surviving top stone quickly expanded a crack, spreading to Tan Xiao and Mu Fei's feet, and there was no time to escape, and the position that was originally thought to be stable collapsed, engulfing Tan Xiao and Mu Fei in the blink of an eye.

……

"Tan Xiao? Talk about Xiao? ”

Tan Xiao turned over and wiped the dust on her face, feeling that her cheeks were hot and painful, her nose was full of damp earthy smell, and there was an old musty smell, which was very bad.

He moved for a moment, felt as if there were no other injuries on his body, and whispered, "I'm fine." ”

Mu Fei flipped out the mobile phone and walkie-talkie, but unfortunately it was broken, the screen was cracked and could not be used, but the small flashlight used for lighting on it was given by the eldest brother of the army, which is worthy of the military quality, and it is not broken.

They fell into the tomb as the roof stone collapsed, and when they looked up, they were already tightly blocked.

There was a clattering sound, and the stones seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.

Mu Fei's face was very ugly, but there was a minor beside her, so she could only cheer up and say: "There are still people above, and they will organize rescue immediately." However, this place is in danger of collapsing a second time, and we have to leave a little. You...... Don't be afraid, sister protects you. ”

Tan Xiao no longer believes in evil, and he is also a high school student, so suddenly encountered a collapse accident, or in the ancient tomb, he now feels uncomfortable with the environment here, and he wants to escape very, very much.

Mu Fei's comforting effect is actually ...... It's just average, after all, Tan Xiao still remembers that Mu Fei said his civil service when he was above, so he chose not to go to the tomb.

Tan Xiao said dryly: "In this monarch's tomb, will there be a lot of organs?" Will something happen if we walk around? ”

"Of course, there are some machine crossbows that were taken out before." Mu Fei emphasized that it has been demolished, and the excavation work has not started on the first day, it has been excavated for a while, and what should be excluded has been ruled out, and what has not been ruled out is not being solved, "Besides, we will not go far." ”

Mu Fei didn't want to scare him, but knowing that the top stone had collapsed strangely, his hand quietly pinched the talisman in his pocket, and said quietly: "Just find a place to avoid it, maybe you can meet Mr. Xu." ”

Tan Xiao followed Mu Fei closely, his mobile phone was in his schoolbag, and now he relied on Mu Fei's flashlight to illuminate it.

The tomb was deep and long, except for a little light in front of them, nothing was clear, only a faint flow of air flowed, but they had to go to a darker place, as if they were walking towards the unknown world step by step.

Starting from the front is a slope, perhaps because of this slope, the two of them walked, and there was a faint sense of effort.

Footsteps echoed in the narrow corridors, and the light from the flashlight was swallowed up in the unknown depths.

The plug stone that is used as an anti-theft has been dug up, and the mechanism has also been removed, so it can be entered unimpeded, and it is indeed as Mu Fei said, don't worry about the mechanism.

"It's a little hard to walk, so it's better to be here." Mu Fei observed the structure here, intending to wait here, not going deeper into the tomb to avoid other troubles.

But at this time, she heard a faint voice, and her eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Mr. Xu!" Mu Fei shouted, and suddenly she didn't control the volume, and the sound echoed in the long corridor, making her feel uncomfortable.

The voice over there seemed to be louder, as if it was close at hand.

Mu Fei couldn't help but speed up his steps: "It must be them, go." ”

Tan Xiao could almost hear his heartbeat, he always felt that Mu Fei was saying that it was dangerous here, but why, her movements unconsciously went deeper and deeper......?

Tan Xiao subconsciously wanted to reach out and drag Mu Fei, but Mu Fei's footsteps were simply rushing forward, and Tan Xiao chased after her, "Sister Mu, you go slowly." ”

Following Mu Fei's faster pace, a stone room appeared in front of the two, and it was dark inside, Mu Fei looked at it, walked in and shook it with a flashlight, confirming that there was indeed no one here.

Mu Fei is not an expert like Ji Lao, he just walked according to the source of the voice, but when he got here, he didn't see anyone, and he didn't know where this place belonged.

"Tsk...... Don't go any further, or you won't know where to go. Mu Fei suddenly regretted running with the voice just now, and couldn't even remember why his first reaction was to catch up just now.

At that time, she only felt that it was not far away, and a stream of blood rushed forward, and now it is very strange to think about it, which makes her extremely vigilant.

Mu Fei cautiously stepped down, for fear of stepping on some cultural relics.

This burial chamber is at least a few hundred square meters, the walls are full of strokes, and the flashlight illuminates the area in front of you, and you can see square lacquerware, like an altar.

There are also countless exquisite jade and bronze wares on display.

The flashlight was illuminated to the side, first of all, there were two lying tigers below, and upward, they were holding a big round thing, so that they could see the whole picture clearly, it turned out to be a drum.

The drum frame is carved in the shape of a phoenix, still in the classic red and black color scheme, and the pattern is drawn.

Because of the peculiar shape of this phoenix bird hanging drum, she took two more looks.

Mu Fei knew that every thing here was of immeasurable value, so he didn't dare to move, and only looked at it in every square inch. The round light swept through one place and moved back again.

"This thing ......" Mu Fei looked at a fan-shaped magic weapon in front of him and said, "This looks very similar to what Ji Lao described, but this is bigger, and it is also the size used by people." ”

Before, Ji Lao described it as a wood carving, and it was the size used by the figurines, and the witch figurines were only one meter two, and the things used were the size of palms.

And this one is a lot, the bamboo strips are decorated with silk in the shape of a fan, and the silk is painted with paint. The upper part is a horizontal slanted stripe, and the lower part is shaped like an eye, slightly abstract, but still recognizable.

"But this feather is different, and I look at this feather like a peacock's feather." Mu Fei said strangely, didn't he say that he respected the phoenix, how could there be a peacock.

"It's the peacock," Tan Xiao thought for a while, "Legend has it that Yuan Feng gave birth to two sons, the peacock and the Dapeng, both of whom are in the same vein." ”

"So you say, could it be this kind of fan that the witch figurines use? What kind of artifact is this? Mu Fei asked, after Ji Lao asked this question, before they could wait for Tan Xiao's answer, the top stone collapsed.

At the mention of this, Tan Xiao's expression was in a trance, and he even seemed to be a little hesitant to answer: "Do you know that my mother is committed to adapting the sacrificial dance into dance dramas and square dances and other art forms?" ”

“…… I really know. "Mu Fei had just watched the news before.

"Well, a long time ago, there was a sacrificial dance that the sorcerers of the Chu State needed to dance with this fan-shaped magic weapon, which was the famous Chu Witch Snake Dance.

"There is another reason why the Chu people worship the phoenix, which is that they are afraid of the poisonous snakes that are everywhere, and the birds and snakes. For them, the phoenix is life, the snake is death, they sacrifice the phoenix in order to ascend to immortality, and they also think that after sacrificing the phoenix, they can control the snake. So there was a snake dance, and the gods were sent up, and the ghosts were sent down.

"To dance the snake dance, you need to hold a feather fan and step on Yu, so what Teacher Ji found should be right. The three pairs of witch figurines presumably perform their own duties, one pair guards the tomb owner, one pair expels ghosts, and one represents a curse on those who disturb the tomb owner's rest, and manipulate snakes to shackle them. ”

Tan Xiao's voice echoed faintly in the empty underground stone chamber.

Mu Fei swallowed dryly, only to feel a little chill on his back, and suddenly thought of Ji Lao and they seemed to hear the sound of snakes in the tomb before.

Is that just a multi-snake in Chudi? Still is......

Mu Fei held his breath, his fingers tightly grabbed the handle of the flashlight, and he suddenly felt it, and raised his eyes to look.

At this time, she noticed that there was a huge shadow looming in the corner of the top of the tomb, but it was difficult to distinguish in the darkness, and as the object gradually drifted away, there seemed to be two round objects reflecting the light of the flashlight, bright and cold.

It didn't know how long it had been there, when it had come, or if it had never left, and listened quietly to their discussion of the Chu people's custom of manipulating snakes.

Mu Fei only felt a chill surging up from his chest!

She didn't dare to look away, continued to look at the giant snake, and said in a breath: "I'll count one, two, three, and you will squat." ”

Tan Xiao froze and nodded imperceptibly.

"One, two, three—"

The last word Mu Fei was drunk, and at the same time, she ran two steps, her feet were on the stone wall, and the whole person rose from the ground, her body was as light as a volley flying up, shooting directly at the giant snake, and the talisman pinched in her pocket also flew out, "Ten thousand gods salute, serve the thunder!" ”

Tan Xiao squatted on the ground, looked back, and his pupils shook instantly.

He saw a clump of coiled and patterned bodies quickly drift away, holding the yellow talisman with his head held high, and then hissing and spitting out letters.

I saw that the places that came into contact with Huang Fu began to rot, but this decay had stopped now, and it did not hurt the vital point.

The giant snake retreated to the door, as if it had scruples, but did not leave, and the pair of yellow and clear eyes looked at them coldly again, as if they were about to bully themselves again at any moment.

Mu Fei stepped on the giant snake and somersaulted to the ground, and he also took a breath of cold air when he saw this.

Just now, almost as soon as she moved, the giant snake also moved at the same time, as if she had expected it, but even if she had the strength to dodge, she didn't dodge, but tested her ability, and grabbed the talisman.

At the moment of attaching the talisman, she was almost in the same place as the giant snake, and she could detect the giant snake giving her a slow look......

What's worse is that because it was Mr. Xu who was going to the tomb, she gave Mr. Xu all the few resources, and she only kept three talismans, and she used one just now, and the effect was obviously not good.

Tan Xiao moved to Mu Fei's side, numb, "How can there be such a big snake?" ”

There is also the rune paper that Mu Fei threw out......

Mu Fei kept thinking about what to do, and even thought about Mr. Xu, who didn't know what to do, and replied: "This seems to be the snake by the snake dance, maybe it shouldn't be said how it is, people may be the aborigines here." ”

"Then how does it thrive in the tomb, isn't this tomb closed, and you can go out to find food?" Tan Xiao said subconsciously.

Mu Fei asked rhetorically: "So how many years do you think it looks like it has lived?" ”

Tan Xiao just wanted to talk for decades, but found that the giant snake's gaze moved to him, looking at it like a human nature, even with a hint of contempt. He had goosebumps and suddenly didn't dare to answer the question.

He glanced at the serpent's rotten jaw after being touched by the rune paper, and intuitively felt that the result would be strange.

"Get up," Mu Fei perked up, not very confident, "Take you out first." ”

Tan Xiao stood up slowly, afraid that the action would be too big to attract the attention of the other party, now it's okay, do a social practice, and your life is almost gone.

"Sister, I believe in you, but didn't you say that you are a civilian?" If Tan Xiao hadn't seen the giant snake, the first thing to shock him would have been Mu Fei's skills.

She also said that she was a civilian, and everyone was about to fly, which was not worse than Ji Lao, who deadlifted two hundred and fifty pounds, and even more exaggerated.

Mu Fei pinched the remaining two runes, stared at the movements of the giant snake and said intently: "I am a civilian, I mainly attack with runes." ”

Tan Xiao: "......"

What the hell, such a clerical job?

Mu Fei nodded his chin at the giant snake and said in a very low voice: "Be careful, this evil is in people's words." ”

She wanted to whisper to Tan Xiao about her plan, but she heard Tan Xiao say tentatively: "He understands us? How about speaking English now？ ”

Mu Fei: "...... OK。 ”

Mu Fei: "When I do it, you run towards the door." ”

Tan Xiao: "OK!! ”

Mu Fei stepped back.

Sure enough, the giant snake thought that she was cowardly, and also took a step forward, but in this way, it lost its position to guard the door, revealing a trace of escape.

Mu Fei was worried that the cultural relics were complete, and he didn't dare to retreat too inside, so he judged it, pinched the talisman, and shouted: "Ten thousand gods salute, and the servant thunders!" ”

Then she didn't look at the end, and quickly ran to the door with Tan Xiao, focusing on a sound.

Unexpectedly, before they reached the door, a tail flew on the ground in front of them, which was slapping on their chests, and the two flew out together.

Mu Fei rubbed his chest, this old thing, the defensive area is wide enough.

She caught a glimpse of the giant snake swimming over, and her face changed, trying to block in front of Tan Xiao.

The Law on the Protection of Minors can't protect Tan Xiao now, only she can struggle.

Tan Xiao greeted him head-on, this giant snake that had lived in the tomb of King Chu for I don't know how many years was moving extremely fast, just in the blink of an eye, the orange-yellow vertical pupils seemed to be close at hand, and he could even smell the rotten breath of its snout.

Tan Xiao helplessly leaned back, and was leaning on the phoenix bird hanging drum, he closed his eyes and subconsciously shouted: "Get out!" ”

At the same time, the elbow makes contact with the drum face, making a "bang" sound.

The voice was deep and not loud, but it echoed in the cold burial chamber, flowing into the chest cavity of the person, causing the heart to beat violently. It is said that the sound of drums was obtained by the ancestors who simulated the sound of thunder, and the sorcerers beat the drums countless times in order to shake the heavens and the earth.

At this moment, there seemed to be a firelight jumping, surrounding the aftermath of the witch sound of a thousand years ago.

"Bang!"

The huge body fell on the thick stone wall with a loud sound, and it quickly coiled into a defensive position, as if it had seen a natural predator, and looked up in fear!

Mu Fei's movements also stagnated, and the action that originally wanted to rush forward was changed to slowly hide behind Tan Xiao......

Tan Xiao: "......"

Mu Fei took the flashlight and found that the giant snake was swimming anxiously, which was completely different from before, not the leisure of waiting for its prey before. If you insist on saying it, it's more like wanting to go to the door, but I'm afraid of Tan Xiao in front of me.

The situation of both sides has been completely reversed!

"What's the matter with you?" Mu Fei asked in a low voice.

"yes, what's wrong with me??" Tan Xiao was even more dazed than her.

"I'll go, what do you learn from me," Mu Fei only felt that he didn't need to stand in the way just now, "You don't have to chant a spell to have this effect, and you also said folk performances, great wizard, you." ”

Tan Xiao's brain was covered or hard: "Then maybe I'm a parseltongue?" ”
