Chapter 20 Chapter 19: The Tomb with No Exit

My fourth uncle once told me that the living area where there are people and the area where ghosts and ghosts live, the two do not interfere with each other.People can see ghosts only when there are too many ghosts underground and they live in the sun. People in the yang world cannot offend people living in the underworld. If you do, you have to burn incense and apologize, otherwise they will make trouble for you. It is said that I was haunted by all the ghosts, I couldn't move my whole body, and I couldn't move the dagger. At the same time, Liu Ge who was standing opposite also stood up. She stretched out her long nails and aimed straight at my chest.In times of crisis, I exert my last bit of strength.I guarantee it, this is the hardest effort I have ever used in my life.Although I have injuries, the potential of human beings cannot be ignored at critical times.After breaking free from the invisible controlling force behind me, I fell to the ground, and then rolled on the spot, avoiding Liu Ge's direct attack.

Liu Ge refused to let go, and I quickly rolled to the corner.There are also more and more white shadows around the circle, and the flashlight is also thrown and flickered.I immediately grabbed the dagger, and the surrounding female ghosts surrounded me from both sides, intending to kill me.At this moment, I heard a bang from the tomb, and the side door was blown open, and I saw Uncle Fourth and Uncle Fifth.At this time, Uncle Wu was injured in his leg, and he was limping when he walked. The injury looked serious. The fourth uncle who saw the scene in front of him was obviously also very surprised. He didn't expect that there would be so many messy things in this tomb.But fourth uncle is also a person who has seen the big world, these things don't pose too much threat to fourth uncle.

Everyone should know that setting off firecrackers during the New Year is to drive away ghosts and evil spirits, and those whose relatives have died at home cannot set off firecrackers, for fear of driving away these relatives who have just died.It can be seen that firecrackers have always had the effect of expelling ghosts, and the sound of the cannon obviously played an important role. The female ghost near the side door disappeared instantly.The other female ghosts who were far away from the side door also stopped approaching me, but disappeared into the corner.Fourth Uncle took out a piece of jade from his neck, brandished the dagger, and quickly came to my side.Obviously, after the explosion of the detonator, the tomb was much calmer.

Grandpa once said that it is easy for a person to encounter ghosts at night.A person's yang energy is relatively weak, and in the event of a disease, he is most likely to encounter unclean things.When there are many people, these things will not come close. At this moment, Liu Ge was no longer in sight.I told my fourth uncle that I held Liu Ge in my arms just now and suddenly turned into a female ghost, but when I went to call Liu Ge's name, the female ghost in the distance turned into Liu Ge.The fourth uncle said: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago? It's hard to tell what happened underground. Often the most obscure is true, and the most true is often false. Since you have known for a long time that there are dirty things in the tomb, Are you still not paying attention to this problem? The one in your arms is not a female ghost, but Liu Ge. She was deceived. The Liu Ge you saw later was not the real Liu Ge, it should be the one you saw A group of female ghosts." I suddenly woke up, and only then did I understand everything, why I was holding a female ghost in my arms, it turned out that I was deceived.

Thinking that Liu Ge should still be lying in the tomb, I immediately searched for it with the searchlight.Fourth Uncle and Fifth Uncle also searched for it. Fortunately, the tomb was not big, and there was nothing in the fire pit in the middle, so I went to the north side of the tomb to look for it.Sure enough, in the northwest corner of the tomb, I saw a green figure lying on the ground. This person was Liu Ge. The fourth uncle said: "How did these things come out? Didn't they not exist when we were here just now?" I said, "I don't know why. After the side door of the tomb over there was closed, I couldn't turn the key. Liu Ge became anxious and cried." I lied a little, but Fourth Uncle would believe me the words said.

The fourth uncle saw that Liu Ge hadn't woken up, and said: "She should be fine, I think she will wake up in a while, if necessary, pinch her Renzhong acupoint, and she can wake up. Now let her rest for a while Bar." I thought what my fourth uncle said was quite reasonable, so I agreed.The fourth uncle continued: "I guess those are not wild ghosts, but the burials in the tomb. The souls of these people have been suppressed under the tomb all year round, unable to reincarnate, with a lot of resentment. Although they can't directly They strangle people's necks and drink their blood, but the resentment and yin energy in them will reduce people's immunity and cause people to have hallucinations. I guess Liu Ge's crying must have brought these things in."

I said, "I think so too. I think our yang qi should be weaker, so we recruited these ghosts." The fourth uncle said: "That's just one aspect. Since the burials in this tomb have so much resentment, then when Liu Ge cries, it will definitely resonate with these ghosts, so they appear. Did these things not exist at first?" How about you, but came to pull you later?" I nodded and said yes, and the fourth uncle continued: "That's right, at first they thought you were wronged ghosts, and they were summoned by you. When they find out that you didn't call them, they will start to kill you. So don't cry when walking alone at night, it is easy to encounter unclean things."

I thought, that's what happened.At first they were far away from us, but after the female ghost in the pond stared at us, all those ghosts surrounded us.I told my fourth uncle that I also saw that female ghost in pajamas, which is the female corpse in the sewer. The fourth uncle sighed: "It is very likely that this girl drowned in the pond. Although the pond is not deep, if she wants to die, and the ghosts here desperately need to replace the dead ghosts, then the success rate of suicide will increase." It is very likely that it will exceed 100%. In other words, if you don’t want to die, you may die, this is a fierce place.”

What Uncle Si said makes sense, and now I am more and more admiring Uncle Si for his analysis and reasoning skills.Although there is not enough evidence in many places to prove the fourth uncle's speculation, but for this kind of unfounded non-scientific event, we can only use non-scientific methods to demonstrate it. There is an evidence proof link in law. This proof requires that the evidence be authentic and reliable, be connected with the case, and not contradict each other.Although the fourth uncle's proof and reasoning cannot be proved by direct evidence, the result of the argument composed of many indirect evidence is unique and not contradictory.

Only then did I remember that my fourth uncle was still wounded, so I asked him, "Is your injury okay?" The fourth uncle smiled bleakly, and said: "I have been in the ancient tomb twice in my life, and each time I narrowly escaped death. I really didn't expect that there would be so many things in the ancient tomb. Otherwise, even if you beat me to death, I would not come." Yes. Guishan Han Tomb is full of zombies, and this tomb is full of organs. Originally, your fifth uncle and I were the most injured, but now it seems that they are the lightest. And your three classmates also fell into the tomb Down below, life and death are also unknown. Now that your fifth uncle is seriously injured, it is getting harder and harder for us to get out."

I asked, "What happened to Uncle Wu, what did you encounter there?" The fourth uncle said: "Go to the knife mountain." I asked strangely: "What is Shangdaoshan?" The fourth uncle said: "Since the tomb of the 'Huo' brand is in the sea of ​​fire, then the tomb of the 'Jin' brand is of course going to the mountain of swords. This is very natural, and I have already guessed it before your fifth uncle and I went in. But What we couldn't guess is that this is not the ordinary Shangdao Mountain. After we went in, we looked for the "open" door according to the direction of the yin and gossip, and learned from the experience and lessons in the tomb of the "Mu" font, we found the "Xiu" in the opposite direction. 'The door. Sure enough, there is a key. It is said that there should be a lot of knives in this tomb, but there is no, but when we activate the key, we know where it is?" "Where is it?" I asked. The fourth uncle said, "It's above the tomb." I was shocked, how dangerous this is.I asked the fourth uncle: "Isn't this tomb a five-element orientation where two positions reverse the Yin and Eight Diagrams? Since you opened the 'Xiu' door, why do you still encounter organs? Is it reversed again?" It was difficult for the fourth uncle to answer this question. He said, "I have thought about this question too. It seems that the design of the eight trigrams in this tomb is only based on the eight directions of Yin and eight trigrams, and does not take into account the life and death functions of each position. Both the 'Mu' font and the 'Fire' font are tombs with opposite positions, and this tomb is positive and negative. It's ridiculous to say that now that the orientation has changed, we can't get used to it, and we still think this is the real gossip." "You didn't notice the knives did you?" I asked. The fourth uncle said calmly: "At first, your fifth uncle and you didn't see these knives. They were all hidden in the brick holes on the top of the tomb. We only paid attention to the bottom and didn't pay attention to the top at all, so we were careless." The words that the fourth uncle said reminded me of the story of the engineers who fought in the war to dismantle landmines.It is said that when an engineer platoon leader cleared a mine, he thought it was all right after removing a series of mines.Unexpectedly, after dismantling the series of mines, the engineer platoon leader was careless, and there was another mine below, and he was killed by the three series of mines.The behavior of the fourth uncle at that time was really similar to that of an engineer who cleared mines. He only thought that there might be danger below the tomb, but he forgot that the top would also bring danger at any time. But isn't this thing very similar to myself?We were in this tomb with Liu Ge. We thought that the danger had been lifted and that nothing would happen again, but we cried about twenty female ghosts who were demanding their lives. The fourth uncle continued: "At that time, your fifth uncle and I were only looking at the bottom and forgot the top. When I turned the key, the side door was closed immediately. I thought, since you are in the tomb of the 'Huo' brand, then Don’t worry at all, you will definitely open the door when you see the tomb door closed. After the side door was closed, there was a loud noise from the top of the head, followed by a lot of iron friction sounds. As soon as I heard this sound, I knew that the mechanism had appeared again. Because this sound is too familiar. After the sound of those blades appeared, the blades shot out continuously, and these blades were inserted into the ground, and more and more formed a mountain of knives." I asked, "Did Uncle Wu get injured this time?" The fourth uncle said: "No, it happened later. Those blades fell on the ground. We thought it would be fine. At this time, seeing that you have not opened the door, I thought badly. After the side door is closed, you are in another tomb. It probably won't open." I said: "Yes, I can't open it by turning it left and right. Then I just stopped turning it and put the key in it." The fourth uncle said: "This is the cleverness of the person who set up the mechanism. We expected that we would do that, but we are so clever. After the blades fell on the ground and formed a hill, we thought that the mechanism was nothing more than that, but two beasts appeared on both sides of the fan shape of the tomb. This beast looks weird, absolutely I have only seen it in my life, and I have never heard of it in the book. It has a big mouth, a head like a rhinoceros, but a body like a crocodile. It is extremely fast. I guess it is an animal that lives underground. Living in an underground cave. But this must have been arranged before the deceased was buried, otherwise the Shangdaoshan would not be able to function at all." I heard the fourth uncle speak slowly, but I secretly complained about the experience of the fourth uncle.The fourth uncle continued: "The two ferocious beasts drooled when they saw the two of us. It seemed that they were hungry for a long time. I saw their long teeth and knew that they were not monsters that ordinary people could deal with. After I finished shooting, there was only He was holding a dagger and was forced to the corner of the tomb by two fierce beasts. Seeing that there was no way out, your fifth uncle fired several shots at two of the beasts, wounding them, and the two The beast turned and ran towards your fifth uncle. The two beasts were not so easy to deal with. Before the gun behind had time to fire, your fifth uncle was bitten by the beast and thrown to the edge of the mountain of knives. His thigh was cut .I lit the last detonator while I was going around Knife Mountain. You also know that the detonator was damp in the tomb of the 'Mu' brand long ago, but it was dried in the tomb of the 'Fire' brand. I thought it would not be ignited. , but it was ignited. The detonator was so powerful that it not only shattered one beast, but the other beast also fled into the cave in fright." I asked: "It seems that the door of the tomb was also blown open at this time." The fourth uncle said: "That's right, that door exploded at this time. It may be that the gunpowder had been roasted for a long time in the tomb of the 'Huo' brand. Because you ran to the corner of the tomb after lighting the detonator, you were not injured by the gunpowder. But it was really dangerous. After I lit the gunpowder, I threw it at the beast chasing me. The beast had never seen this before, so it just opened its mouth and caught it. The beast next to it thought it was some good treasure, so it came to grab it, but it exploded before it got it." I carried Liu Ge and Fourth Uncle on my back to Fifth Uncle. Fifth Uncle had heard us discussing the content of the tomb. Our physical strength is almost at the limit, if we don’t go out, we are afraid that we will be left here for the rest of our lives. We are still not fully prepared, you can see that everyone is injured now, and there is not even a single person who can move.” The fourth uncle sighed and said, "We should find a way to get out now, but aren't we trapped here now? We need to find an exit from the 'Huo' tomb and the 'Jin' tomb." Uncle Wu nodded. He had no idea about the tomb of the "Huo" brand, so he could only pin his hopes on the tomb of the "Jin" brand.The four of them entered the next tomb together, only to see blades without handles everywhere in the tomb.The middle of the tomb is raised high, where there are the most blades.The wall was bloody, and there were fragments of the beast's body everywhere. At present, the most important task is to find the exit.But all the secret rooms here are closed, and we can only pin our hopes on the institutions.I really don't understand how this generation of tent-dwellers could create so many traps, which are so incredible and difficult to crack in the eyes of today's people.I consider it a fluke to be alive.I put Liu Ge on the ground and handed it to Uncle Wu.Although Uncle Wu's leg was bleeding, fortunately, it was all flesh wounds, not any bones, and he could barely walk.Because the blood-sucking vines sucked a lot of Uncle Wu's blood in the tomb of the "Mu" brand, although Uncle Wu's leg didn't immediately stop the bleeding and stammer this time, the blood that flowed out was not a lot.However, the injury this time still brought great trauma to Uncle Wu, and he was also exhausted. This time, I am the only one who can act with my fourth uncle.The burn on my leg was not particularly painful at this point.It was winter, and the ground was still warm, so the injury on my leg would not recur for a while.After resting and recuperating, Fourth Uncle gradually adapted to the current situation of body ischemia. Compared with Liu Ge and Fifth Uncle, we are considered healthy. My fourth uncle and I took the responsibility of finding a way out, and began to search around the tomb.Although the tomb is not big, it is not easy to find the mechanism to get out in the tomb. If it was easy, Fourth Uncle and the others would have discovered it long ago.I carried the searchlight, and my fourth uncle followed behind and looked towards the wall, for fear of missing any opportunity. We wandered from the left side of the tomb to the right of the tomb, and then from the right to the left, but we never saw any signs of institutions.The rest can only find another mechanism according to Yin Yang and Five Elements.Fourth Uncle and Fifth Uncle once found the "Shang" gate according to the Yin Eight Diagrams, but this "Shang" gate belongs to the position of Shengmen.But it is regrettable that this "injury" door is different from the "Mu" tomb, and there are organs inside. The directions of the yin and yang gossip are different from those of the yang gossip, and this tomb has turned back and forth, making it impossible to figure out their true positions.The fourth uncle said that according to the Yin Eight Diagrams and the Five Elements, we are located in the east direction, which should be the "Mu" tomb, which is dominated by Yang and belongs to life.But now it belongs to "gold", gold dominates yin, and its position belongs to west. If the next tomb is the "Shui" tomb, then these tombs are indeed arranged according to the anti-five elements.But since anti-five elements, why arrange yin and gossip?Yin gossip is usually used to decorate yin houses. Since it is used to arrange yin houses, why are the directions reversed? I asked my fourth uncle: "Could it be that the Mongols don't understand the principles of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, and self-defeating?" The fourth uncle replied: "No, it is impossible to be ignorant if it can be arranged like this. Such a tomb arrangement is not conducive to the reproduction of the owner's offspring, and even to the tomb owner himself. Although I don't believe that people can be reincarnated and Fengshui is good for future generations However, every deceased must hope that his body is arranged according to benign feng shui. I guess this arrangement should be to prevent tomb robbers from stealing the tomb, and few people can walk out of such an ancient tomb." I think so, at least a lot of people who came here died and were injured a lot.Now the few of us are trapped in the tomb, and it is difficult to escape.But there are no decent burial objects in these tombs, and they are extremely dangerous. The owner of the tomb can be said to be a poor landowner, so why should he prevent tomb robbers from entering the tomb?This is like a resident who has nothing at home but sets up power grids around the house, which is puzzling.The only explanation is that there are other dark secrets in this tomb. The fourth uncle calculated the current position, came to the place where the blades were piled up, shoveled off some blades with an engineer shovel, and said to me: "Check if there are any empty bricks here." I knelt down and knocked the stone bricks on the ground with my hands , When knocking on the third piece, it really sounded like a chime stone. I lifted the stone bricks, only to see that it was empty except for a keyhole, and there was no key box at all.My fourth uncle and I looked at me and I looked at you, feeling desperate. It seems illogical that only one of the two directions of this tomb has a key, but for this strangely arranged tomb, I am mentally prepared.I stood up to see what Uncle Fourth could do.The fourth uncle lowered his head, as if he couldn't do anything about the scene in front of him. At this moment, a low growl came from the tomb in the northeast corner.I was startled and quickly took out the dagger.The fourth uncle said: "It's okay, that thing dare not come out." Because of this deep roar, Liu Ge also woke up.I walked up to Liu Ge and felt relieved seeing that Liu Ge was fine.Liu Ge said, "Are we in hell?" I smiled and said, "Did you watch too many movies? Of course you're not in hell." Liu Ge said: "Those people in white clothes are gone, where did they go?" "Scared away by the sound of the detonator," I replied. Maybe it was too tired, Liu Ge sat up slowly, I supported her, let her lean against the wall, don't move yet.At this time, the roar in the northwest corner of the tomb became louder and louder.Liu Ge looked terrified. Although she fought fiercely, when encountering a beast, the weak side of a woman was revealed. I asked Uncle Fifth to take care of Liu Ge, and then stood with Uncle Fourth on both sides of the cave where the roar was.It was obvious that this ferocious beast was very hungry. Seeing that there was no danger outside, it wanted to come out to look for food again.And the target is those of us who can't move quickly. I shone the searchlight on the entrance of the cave, and saw that the opening was about 80 centimeters wide, about one meter high, and the top of the cave was in the shape of an arch bridge.Apparently this hole was artificially built, not naturally formed. Suddenly, the fourth uncle shouted: "Yishui, you shine the light on the right wall of the cave entrance." I followed what the fourth uncle said, and immediately shone the light on the right wall corner. The three tombs in the front also contain yellow boxes with keys.
