Chapter 8 Chapter Eight: Meeting the River Ghost Again

At the moment when he was thinking wildly, the lights on the wall of the tomb slowly illuminated the surroundings.It is better to say that this is a tomb chamber than an ancient underground conference hall. Although it is not as magnificent as in the phantom just now, it is still impressive. The entire hall is about the size of a football field. Except for the stone gate I just entered, there are five other gates, but the rest of the gates are all closed with no gaps. Right in the hall, four rows, nine rows, thirty-six bronze figures are neatly lined up, each of them holding a spear and a sword, complete with crowns and belts, with solemn faces, I couldn't help but want to touch their bodies curiously , but was startled by Lao Liu's head-shock: "Cicada, don't move, we are all in the way of others."

Cicada?Following someone else's path?I looked at Old Liu with doubts, and the old man carefully pulled me away first, and after he was about two or three meters away from the bronze figures, he said softly: "Don't you think it's very weird that we walked all the way, it seems too It went well, many mechanisms that would have killed us were subtly destroyed, or someone deliberately used a certain method to remind us." When Old Liutou said this, I also became vigilant, recalled it, and it was true, every step we took seemed to be following in the footsteps of others.I remember when we first came down, Old Liutou said that there was a group of people in front of us, could it be the group of tomb robbers?

"They are not simple tomb robbers." Old Liu shook his head, "From the current point of view, boy, our father and I seem to have been plotted by someone. Do you know where my grandfather and I fell just now?" The old man said mysteriously , I shook my head ignorantly. "I fell into a sandwich wall!" The old man was obviously very annoyed. It turned out that the old man was in front of me, but after I stepped in, I was stuck in the passageway at the entrance of the underground palace. After stepping on the air, I got stuck in the hole. Before I could call for help, the boy behind stepped on me. On his back, then the old man slipped down the sidewalk, and the kid behind also plunged into the underground palace.

Old Liutou thought that the slippery road would lead directly to the tomb moat, but who knew that the path after going down the narrow road turned out to be extremely flat. Judging from the traces around it, this unremarkable narrow road is more like a straight road than our dangerous road.Moreover, the old man actually found several forks that were similar to unfinished construction. Judging from the traces at that time, it seemed that there was no time to cover them up in a hurry. In this way, after trying several forks in a row, the old man finally arrived. When I climbed out of this tomb hall, I saw that it came out of an inconspicuous small hole under the stone seat on the side of the stone gate.As soon as I got out, I saw me running around like an epileptic patient. I tried to stop me, but I drew out my dagger and stabbed me with a knife. The old man wanted to get angry, but he found that my eyes were black. Then, only the whites of my eyes were left, so I knew it was not good, so I quickly knocked out my dagger, and then used the ancestral brain-invigorating medicine to detoxify me.

"Don't worry, you just said that I was already crazy before you came in?" I suddenly realized that I seemed to be taking it for granted, ignoring a big loophole. "Yeah," the old man looked at me blankly, "I thought you were enlightened." "It's not God's way anymore, I've been poisoned." When I wanted to understand where my misunderstanding came from, I suddenly became confused again. Old Liutou only appeared after I went mad, so the torch he made of mermaid oil also lit other lamps after he met me, that is to say, my illusion this time was not mermaid oil at all. effect, but for another reason.

The old man also found it strange after hearing my description, but I suddenly noticed one thing, that is, the old man has been holding the torch made of shark oil, and the sweet and silky smell of shark oil has been surrounding him all the time. However, why did the shark oil that almost wiped out our entire army in the underground palace of King Han's Mausoleum have no effect on him at all? Just when I was about to ask a question, I suddenly felt as if someone was slowly walking over from behind, and it was not a single person, but a group of people. There were at least dozens of people in this group. They seemed to be slowly getting up from the ground Then it approached us little by little.

When I reminded Old Liutou, he had already thrown the torch towards the crowd who were getting up slowly. The torch was spinning and flickering through the crowd, and as the torch was splashed with grease, a lot of flames were thrown along with the scattered grease. In those moving human bodies. Covered in gray and black short hair, there is a bright bald spot in the middle of the big head, a pair of vicious red eyes are shining coldly, the mouth full of fangs is exposed when grinning, the arms are clean and furless, and the four claws are like bird claws It ends with a sharp nail.In addition, there were still flames flickering on his body, like a hungry ghost that had just escaped from the ground, with red eyes shining one by one, crawling viciously.It's the river ghost, the tomb guard river ghost, the tomb guard river ghost who just attacked us in the underground river.

Because the merman oil has a low ignition point, it will not burn at all, so the merman oil splashed on them is still burning tenaciously, and the flames that are constantly swinging as they walk make the scene even more weird. I looked at Lao Liu head nervously, looking around for his rabbit gun, and then pondering where to hide it. I paid attention to it in my heart, and if it didn’t work, I pushed down these bronze men to cut off the road, and then talked with Lao Liu. Just get into the hole he mentioned just now, as long as you enter the lane, the too narrow space restricts the opponent's numerical advantage.

Although I still don't understand what kind of monster it is, since I became a voluntary tomb guard, there have been too many things that subvert the common sense and theory of nature, and I have seen it all. Thinking about it, I just want to get rid of these guys quickly and get myself out of this ghost place. Seeing that they were approaching, I grabbed the old willow head and walked back. It was not because I was so noble, but because only the old man knew how to walk through the underground passage at that time. No matter from which point of view, it was the most reasonable for the old man to go first s Choice.

Just when I whispered my plan to the old man, the old man smiled wryly and said it was too late, I saw him shaking his head to the side, I was surprised to see a huge river ghost slowly coming from The hole in the road that the old man mentioned just now came out slowly. Seeing this situation, I felt a chill in my heart, and said, it’s going to be bad, and I’ll stop here this time. Our father and I were firmly surrounded by a group of monsters in the center of the circle. The two of us stood back to back, watching the circle keep shrinking, we could even smell the fishy smell on their bodies.

"Tell me, are they human? Can they understand human language?" Seeing that these monsters were about to come up, Old Liutou suddenly asked such a nonsensical question. "Ah?" I was stunned at the time. My nervousness caused my brain to overreact. His question suddenly disrupted my thinking, and I didn't know how to answer it. "Some people say they are monsters, some people say they are people." The old man didn't seem to care that I wasn't answering the question, and he was talking to himself, "Some people called them ghosts, and some said they were gods, but for thousands of years In the past, they used to live in the Yellow River, Huai River, and swamps, and now they live underground, who do you think they are?" Following his Zen-like monologue, these monsters have surrounded us firmly. Judging from the situation, it is estimated that they have been hungry for at least a thousand years. It is estimated that this meal may not be so enjoyable. Because there is really not much meat to eat for a skinny old man and a young man who has just matured. "Some people say that they are the descendants of the god of water, Gonggong, do you think it is possible?" The old man believed that we would not be able to escape, and he was a little out of his brain at this moment, so he started talking nonsense. "You can't wait to die like this, I want to fight." I said to the old man very solemnly.The old man gave me a look, and his eyes showed that he saw an idiot. Just when I was holding the dagger and preparing to fight for my life, suddenly a faint and strange melody came from beside me, and those things called river ghosts gave a noticeable pause when they heard this sound, followed by There was a burst of restlessness, and they were communicating with each other in an anxious, hissing tone of excitement. Looking back, Old Willow had a familiar thing in his mouth, which was a jade tube with eight holes. His left and right hands alternately changed the pitch, and his fingers played a strange melody skillfully, similar to some kind of ancient music. , It seems to be the tone of a thing screaming.A strange scene appeared, those tomb guard ghosts who were approaching us viciously, suddenly all prostrated on the ground motionless as if they had received some kind of order. After Old Liutou finished playing this tune, he grabbed the piece of cloth wrapped around his shoulders and threw it at the huge river ghost. It was stained with the blood that flowed when Old Liutou was attacked by the tomb guard river ghost. blood. The monster flinched after grabbing the piece of cloth, and slowly lay down on the ground again. The scene that had been staged was performed again. I saw him slowly backing away, as if he was interested in Lao Liu. The head was very frightened, and the trembling actually infected other river ghosts, one by one, they lined up and retreated back from the entrance of the cave without making a sound.
