Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Ghost Heart Lotus

Legend has it that at midnight, if you light a candle and face a mirror, you can see ghosts from the mirror... Regarding this legend, my unbelieving friend once pulled me to try it myself, deliberately waited until midnight, lit a candle, and then faced the mirror, quietly waiting for the ghost to come. Of course, he didn't wait for anything, so this statement was regarded by him as absurd.But I have always thought that since it is passed down from ancient times, there must be something to say, but maybe it has been passed down for a long time, and some things have changed. So, when I was at the entrance of this ancient tomb palace, I suddenly saw such a wind wall shadow wall, and such a huge mirror was pressed on the screen wall, and I couldn't help but tremble in my heart.

If I remember correctly, since ancient times, human beings have used bronze mirrors to dress up. It was not until this year that glass mirrors became popular. Originally, glass mirrors were used by warlocks, and that is the mysterious and unpredictable demon mirror in legend. Holding the flashlight, I stepped into the huge mirror step by step. Suddenly, I felt an unbelievable feeling in my heart—could this ghost be my own shadow? Looking at the person in the mirror, the puffy face, how can there be any human appearance?When I thought of this, I not only smiled sadly in the mirror. Thinking about it carefully, what I did was also absurd and inexplicable. I begged for incense from a hundred schools of thought, tried to communicate with the underworld, and helped my best friend become a fairy...

wrong! Standing in front of the mirror, I suddenly thought of this question. If this mirror is really an ancient object, the closest one is from the Ming and Qing Dynasties—at least hundreds of years old. The glass must have been stained by stains. How can it be clear? According to people? I reached out and touched the glass mirror. Although there was a thick layer of dust, I can assure you that this mirror has definitely not existed for hundreds of years, or even at most only two or three years old. Thinking about it this way, I was busy examining it carefully, and after a while, I suddenly wanted to laugh—there are enough absurd things in this world, I think I am already unreliable, but there are actually people in this world who are more ridiculous than me. Unreliable people.

The mirror on the screen wall of the wind wall has been pushed up by someone in recent years. This ancient tomb has not only been occupied by people, and the ancient objects have been removed, but also such a demon mirror has been pressed by someone, which is weird and inexplicable . However, I want to break my head and want to understand—but all grave robbers, digging graves and stealing graves are naturally so convenient, just like that Qiu Shijiu who crawled out of the grave without even covering it up, and this He's a good person, he dug up someone's old grave, and even got such a big mirror to press on it, what does he want to do?

Could it be that he still wants to take this underground palace as his own, so that he can come here for sightseeing or even stay here for a while? While thinking about it, I held up the flashlight and fumbled for the mirror with my hand. Anyway, it was installed by modern people, so it doesn’t matter if I touch it.However, at this moment, following the reflection of the flashlight, I suddenly had a creepy feeling—in the large demon mirror, there was no light showing my shadow alone, and there was another person... It's just that the figure is very blurry, no...it's not blurry, it's not clear at all, it's in a trance, and I can vaguely see it. It's a woman, wearing a white cheongsam, floating erratically, and seems to be standing behind me.

white pearl? Seeing the white cheongsam, I instinctively thought of the white pearl enshrined in Honglian Temple, and the ghost I saw on the cemetery, plus the human skin Kongming lantern, seemed to have something to do with this white pearl relation. Now, in this ancient tomb, I see her shadow again—it seems that she has followed me so lingeringly. I turned around abruptly, and the beam of the flashlight swept across my back, thinking that no matter what this time, I would find her, no matter if she was a human or a ghost? I was probably scared too much, but I wasn't really scared. On the contrary, I still had some expectations, wanting to find that female ghost.

However, the moment I turned around, I still couldn't find anything. In the corridor behind me, it was pitch-black, gloomy, and ghosts and figures were gone. It seemed that the world had died, and I was the only one left. Standing here alone. I took a deep breath, feeling a little tingling in my lungs, this feeling - really bad. Holding the flashlight, I turned around, and my eyes fell on the big glass mirror again. Through the dust, only my shadow was left in the mirror. It seemed that everyone had moved away from me. Abandoned hapless egg. I suddenly wanted to laugh, not only Na Na whispered: "Could it be that even a ghost will abandon me in the end? Am I doomed to be lonely all my life?"

Thinking of this, I shook my head lightly, holding a medicine shovel in one hand and a flashlight in the other. At this moment, I no longer had much fear in my heart. Someone had already visited this ancient tomb earlier than me. What's so scary? Turning around the big screen wall, sure enough, the underground palace is in front of me, and the buildings and water pavilions that have been reduced in scale appear in front of me. The ancients paid heavy burials, which led to an almost absurd ancient tomb culture. On Guimang Mountain, there are many ancient tombs of princes, both discovered and undiscovered.

It is said that the scale of the tombs of the ancients mostly imitated their former residences. Therefore, I judge that these buildings and waterside pavilions should be the appearance of the tomb owner’s previous residence, but the scale is much smaller. From one aspect, the owner of this ancient tomb, It's not the Ninth Five Emperor Supreme, otherwise, this ancient tomb would definitely not be of such a scale. However, what makes me a little strange is that the owner of this tomb is really a little strange. There is no problem with the reduced-scale buildings nearby, but the underground palace is actually built on the water pavilion, and I don’t know what this person thinks , I don’t know where the groundwater was brought in. This water pavilion is not just for show, it really has water.

On the water pavilion, there is a black lacquered coffin upright. The paint has peeled off a little, it seems that it has aged, and there are some strange paintings on the coffin, which presumably tells the life of the owner. However, none of this has anything to do with me. To the owner of that coffin, I am a thief, an uninvited intruder. It is said that trespassing on a private house is against the law. I don't know why, I suddenly had such absurd thoughts, but no matter what the purpose was, I still walked towards the mottled coffin step by step-probably out of curiosity? In fact, my curiosity is really strong, but this is my nature, and I can't change it.

I can't figure it out. Could it be that the owner of the coffin doesn't know that putting his own skeleton on the water surface is extremely humid, which is the most difficult to preserve. The purpose is to preserve the corpse for thousands of years. That's right, based on my feeling, the bardo of this tomb is deep, and the humidity is much heavier than ordinary places. Suddenly, I suddenly thought of a question. Although the glass on the screen wall just now was covered with dust, the time must not exceed Three years, otherwise, with such heavy humidity, the glass would have been moldy long ago. I think I am already a weirdo, but this tomb robber who has never met before seems to be even weirder than me, and he can do such absurd things. The waterside pavilion is not far away. With a flashlight on, I quickly walked to the top of the waterside pavilion. As I expected, there is water under the waterside pavilion, and the water level is very high. When I held up the flashlight to shine on the surface of the water, I was about to exclaim suddenly—I was right, the ancient tomb should have quoted underground water, and on the surface of the water, there was actually a bloody star floating on it. heart…… Judging from the color of the heart, it should be a human heart. I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down, but I still felt a blank in my mind. After a long time, I seemed to come back to my senses. This is not a human heart. I finally remembered what it was. This is the ghost lotus, if it weren't for the black lacquer leaf under the bloody heart, which looks like a human hand, holding the heart and floating on the water, this ghost lotus would look like it just came out of the human body. Like digging it out. Ghost heart lotus? I stared blankly at the bloody thing in the center of the water pavilion, and I seemed to smell a strong bloody smell in my nose - according to legend, this thing needs the nourishment of human blood, and it is rare to grow in a thousand years, it is simply something that exists in legends. I suddenly felt that the gods really treated me kindly. I lost the Yinyang Zihe chariot and followed Wang Jiren to find it in the grave. If they are ripe, if they can be picked, they will be useful one day in the future. As I was facing it, I was already wandering around the water pavilion, because the ghost heart lotus was standing in the middle of the water pavilion, and although the water pavilion is not big, it seems to be only half a basketball court, but I can't reach it? into the water?But this underground yin water can nourish such a strange thing as ghost heart lotus. I dare not be reckless. Xinlian caught her and pulled her up. This is undoubtedly the safest way. When I skillfully buckled the rope into a noose, I was about to throw it out, but suddenly I heard a long sigh from behind... I was suddenly startled, in this ancient tomb palace, besides a living person like me, is there anyone else?I was busy turning around and looking over, not far behind me, there was a black lacquered coffin, all my attention just now was attracted by the ghost heart lotus in the water pavilion, until this time, I suddenly looked carefully at it That coffin——behind me, it was empty, only this coffin, but the sigh just now came from behind me...
