Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

Just when Lao Miao was recovering, Lao Zhong looked at the copper bell very carefully, and carefully touched the strange little ball in the middle of the bell with a film glove, and as a result, many small white particles fell out of the small ball , just like hardened rice grains, rolling down gently on the ground, especially conspicuous under the glowing white night pearl light. "Hiss!" Lao Zhong took a deep breath, and then took a long breath of hot air lying on these millet grains, and saw that these millet grains began to move with the blowing of Lao Zhong's breath. A small grain of rice turned into a spider the size of a fingernail.

"Ants. Ant eggs are also for sacrifice." Old Zhong muttered in a low voice, and then quickly slapped the spiders to death with the whirlwind shovel.It could be seen that Lao Zhong was very afraid of those little spiders crawling around. "What are these things?" I leaned forward and asked curiously, while reaching out to grab the bell.Old Zhong's claws were surprisingly quick, and he patted my hand in one fell swoop: "You're looking for death, don't move the Soul Requiem Bell!" Old Zhong was a little excited. Requiem bell?This is the first time I have heard of such a legendary name.I looked at the bell carefully. It is very laborious to see things under the feeble fluorescent tube, and it is even more so under the feeble night pearl. The strange bell has a faint green luster flowing.And the white ball in the middle of the bell is like a group of miniature honeycombs. Some of the small holes of the honeycomb still have some white rice eggs, and some are empty.

"This is a bone in the pinna of a human being. It is in the shape of a natural honeycomb. It is said that only one type of human has this kind of bone!" Old Zhong squinted at the bell. "Who has it?" I was also a little goosebumped by his tone. "Ghost and Yin people!" Another explosive term, follow them to learn new things. "Men and women are divided into yin and yang, and there are heaven and earth. In the five elements of yin and yang, men belong to yang, women belong to yin, the sky is dry, and the earth is kun. Yin people generally refer to women, but there are also a few men who will be born by chance. They will be called yin people, for example, some people have a rare yin constitution." Speaking of this, Lao Zhong gave me a narrow look.I responded with a huge loud, smelly fart.

"Actually, this was introduced in "History of Barnyard Officials and Fields? Mausoleum Epitaph". The owner of the tomb used seventy-seven extremely yin people in the extremely yin place to use spells to enclose the souls of these people. In the soul-suppressing bell, it is said that each soul-sacrificing bell is the soul of a living person. These people must die of convulsions before they die, so that the hostility can be filled in the ball bone of the ear, so that it can be made A complete Soul Requiem Bell. Using these forty-nine ghosts and ghosts to make a curse, the owner of the tomb is really willing to pay for it!" Old Zhong sighed.

What he said made my scalp tingle, because at the time when the so-called yin pupil was opened just now, I clearly saw a woman with colorful makeup not far away. This soul-suppressing bell was subsequently tricked. "As long as the breath of a stranger approaches, the soul hidden in the Soul Requiem Bell will penetrate into the five orifices of the person along the breath and turn into a vicious insect. After eating the brain and sucking the marrow, it will control the person's body." Old Zhong is still unhurried Introduced slowly. I hurriedly stopped his narration as if he was giving a lecture, and talked about the image of a gorgeous woman wearing clothes similar to Japanese kimono that I saw just now when I opened my eyes, and then said that I heard faint crying just now, which caused my mind to lose consciousness. The whole process of chaos and almost suicide.

"Are you sure you saw a woman in palace costume?" Old Zhong asked me again.I nodded with certainty.He then asked me in detail why I suddenly opened my Yin pupils. In fact, I was at a loss and didn't know what was going on. I felt that I opened my eyes hard in the copper tripod, and then I could see things suddenly. The light covered everything I saw. But what I want to know most at the moment is whether there is really a person's living soul stored in those bells. Although I know this kind of statement is ridiculous, my own personal experience makes me have to believe in the existence of this thing.

"Is what you said true?" I stared at him with proving eyes, Lao Zhong took a bite of the dark chocolate in Lao Miao's backpack, and thought for a while: "Actually, it is very simple to prove, as long as we find other directions You will know if there is a soul-repressing bell on it, at least it can prove whether the owner of the tomb has arranged a great curse." I took a look at Lao Miao, he had just woken up for a while, and now fell into a deep sleep, I couldn't help but lamented his misfortune, and then started looking for the rest of the soul bells. Wandering around among the large copper bookshelves, I was surprised to find that different shapes of soul bells were scattered in different corners seemingly unintentionally. In front of the clock, the old clock also turned back from the group of copper bookshelves opposite, with the same surprise in his eyes.

"Is it true that forty-nine Japanese women were sacrificed?" I began to speculate on the identity of the owner of the tomb. Old Zhong looked at me angrily, and said in a low voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? They are obviously forty-nine Han court ladies. Do you know what new discovery I have made this time?" Will overhear the same. "what?" "Now we are in what Lao Miao said about the Qianren Pit during the Warring States Period. This should be the place where the heads of Koreans were killed and buried after the destruction of Han. The soil around us is full of heads of Koreans. If my guess is correct If so, this is the real mausoleum of the King of Han, and using the Yin Qi of the Han people to suppress the royal family's cemetery, Qin's intentions are not poisonous, and the Golden Corpse of the Warring States Period is very likely to be under our feet!" His stern tone was a bit sinister .

"Later, the owner of the Han tomb upstairs obviously discovered this thousand-man grave, because the heads of thousands of subjugated Koreans were buried here, and the atmosphere was extremely dark, so the owner of the tomb built the mausoleum on top of this thousand-man grave. , built a series of traps in his tomb, and buried his real body in this thousand-man grave, and a peerless curse that he thought was extremely sinister!" Old Zhong's words reminded me of a few lines we saw on the copper tripod on the upper floor: "The mountains collapse and the ground collapses, and the sea of ​​blood surges. With my wrath, I will kill the whole world. No one will be spared."

"This person must be a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and his position may be extremely respected, otherwise how could he be buried with a court lady." I began to speculate. "Not only that, this person should have a deep-rooted hatred with someone, and he is eager to make this person unlucky, and the owner of this tomb is very likely to be a woman!" Lao Zhong's speculation can be described as deafening, "A woman, yes, a woman , and she is not the only one, there should be a big family behind her to support!" Old Zhong said again, "Did you see the location and shape of the Soul Requiem Bell we discovered just now?"

I thought about it carefully and shook my head in confusion.Old Zhong hated iron for being weak, and stretched out two fingers to make a gesture: "I just went to the south direction, and the Soul Requiem bell is in the shape of a cross." The words came to an abrupt end here. "Oh!" I thought of it, I went to the north just now, and the soul-suppressing bell happened to be in the Seven Star Dou, and both of us remembered the astrology map engraved in the copper tripod, and the two of us ran in the same direction at the same time.Sure enough, a white bone nail was firmly stuck in that position. "Zu killed Ziweixing, the owner of this tomb cursed the emperor!" I raised my head in surprise, and a chill hit my chest immediately.I saw that Old Zhong still had a bleak smile on his face, and on the copper bookshelf behind him, a pale face slowly followed behind him hollowly. Pale and pale face, so white that it looks like powder, and long black hair, so black that it feels unreal, only two empty eyes can make people feel a little human, just such a human head seems Floating behind the old clock as if suspended in the air, with a blank expression, it made people suddenly feel a sense of oppression.I don't know how to remind Lao Zhong, because at this moment he also has this dead expression, looking at me blankly, as if he saw a ghost. I decided to stabilize my mood first, instead of directly telling him that there is a head behind him, I can talk about other things first, such as asking Lao Miao about his current situation, maybe I can also ask him if he is hungry, because after all It’s been almost eight hours, and I would have been yelling for food in normal times. It may be because I am underground, nervous and highly concentrated, so I don’t feel the existence of hunger now. Just when I was about to speak, the old Zhong on the opposite side actually smiled very strangely, as if he saw something that made it hard for him to swallow, he swallowed hard, and spoke first. "Tell me, how is Lao Miao recovering now?" What Lao Zhong said made me puzzled. Before I recovered, he said again: "Are you hungry? I still have A few pieces of chocolate!" After hearing what he said, my heart tightened. I heard him say word by word: "You must not be nervous, and try not to look back, let me tell you what is behind you, there is a mummy behind you, a special mummy, it seems that a mummy's head is hanging Behind you." After he finished speaking, he paused for a long time to see my reaction. I still have a calm expression. "You have a head behind you!" Old Zhong reminded me, seeing that I wasn't surprised at all. I was still staring at the head behind him, my heart was so nervous that I nodded numbly: "I see!" "Why are you not surprised at all?" Old Zhong couldn't help asking. "Because there is one behind you!" I tried to keep my voice as calm as possible, but this fact still gave Lao Zhong a shock. "My day!" Old Zhong fell to the ground in a flash, trembling all over.But he quickly stabilized his figure, turned around and faced the human head.He punched violently, only heard a "Dang", and then Lao Zhong screamed. I helped Lao Zhong rub the back of his red and swollen hands, while listening to Lao Zhong nagging: "I knew it was not a ghost, it was just a few mummies, it made you nervous!" I don't know who just impulsively punched Tao Urn who was holding the mummy. Lao Zhong and I checked the heads behind us separately. To our surprise, these heads were not floating in the air, nor were they ghosts, but the urn coffins on the copper bookshelves had their lids removed. This is a coffin made of pottery urns, like a large wine jar about half the height of a human being, and the human head is at the mouth of the wine jar.The entire face has been waxed, the eyeballs have been gouged out, and there is a walnut-sized hole in the back of the head. Old Zhong dug out an emergency cold light stick from which backpack he didn't know, and when he broke it, he gave off a glowing blue light.Only then did I realize that the luminous pearl on my head was not so bright. Under the light of the cold light stick, we saw a horrific scene. This is a girl about 18 to 25 years old. Her limbs, lips and nose were cut off cruelly, leaving only a pair of empty eyes. The eyes and the entire skin have been forged into a wax-like texture by a special method just like the mummy we encountered when we came to this tomb.The whole body was "planted" into the altar like a flower, and some plant patterns were engraved on the black altar, which could not be seen clearly because of the long time. The two of us were too careless. We were only looking for the same astrology map as in Dadingli, and we were only thinking about the so-called curse image that Lao Zhong found, but we accidentally ignored that there were things on the so-called copper "bookshelves" around us. Not one piece, these bookshelves are arranged in a very strange way, and these pottery urns are also arranged in various levels of the "bookshelves" in a certain order.Because the pottery urn itself is black, which is almost the same color as the copper "bookshelf" itself, and under the illumination of the night pearl, it blends in with the shadows, and our minds are put on other places, so we didn't notice the bookshelves. There are still things. When we were looking for the "Dragon Killing Nails", we accidentally came across some of them. The white heads were very conspicuous under the light of the night pearl, so we discovered the monsters behind each other. "You go north, I go south, count and see how many jars of such mummified corpses there are." After the old Zhong ordered, he threw me a blue luminescent stick, and I held it and began to look carefully.It doesn't matter if you look at it. It turns out that the bookshelves around are all big black urns, and according to the position of the bookshelves, different pottery urns are placed. Not only are there different sizes, but also the shapes are different.In this way, the old clock and I walked forward while counting. After a while, I came to a wall. Through a gap in a bookshelf, I saw that the old clock was counting pottery urns next door. I asked him: " How many do you have there?" "There are twenty-four on the bookshelf, but there are still a few pottery urns on the ground without human heads, and I don't know what they contain." Old Zhong's answer seemed to be far away. "How's the situation there?" Old Zhong asked me. I squatted by the wall and stared at the row of bones beside the wall. They were arranged in a strange order, like a strange array, a bit like a kind of earth cube chess I played in the countryside when I was a child. It seems to be called " "Squat in the latrine", a few simple lines, a trap in the middle, and small stones can replace the flag for half a day of entertainment.I suddenly felt a little ridiculous. How could there be such a thing in an ancient tomb thousands of years ago? I must have seen similar things and made random associations. I briefly described my discovery to Lao Zhong, and told him in a joking tone about the folk board game that I finally discovered, which was similar to "squatting in a latrine".Old Zhong was very curious when he heard about it, and said he would come and have a look, but his voice seemed to be about two bookshelves away from me. "Stand there and don't move, I'll go find you!" Old Zhong told me loudly.I responded and watched him go around one by one through the gaps between the bookshelves. After going around for half a day, I saw him appear next to the copper bookshelf not far from me, but there was still a bookshelf behind.Old Zhong looked at me a little strangely, and muttered: "Could it be the wrong way?" Then he backed away slowly and started walking in another direction. He walked over quickly, but this time he still couldn't get across a bookshelf in this direction. Strange thing, obviously there is only a bookshelf distance between us, but whether I walked over or he walked over, we could only see each other through the gap in the bookshelf, but we couldn't walk in front of each other. Before we knew it, we had penetrated into the depths of these bookshelves, and both of us began to wander around in the bookshelves, and the people in the pottery urns on the bookshelves stared silently with empty eyes. us. After turning around for more than ten minutes, I returned to the place where I found the "squatting latrine" chess piece just now. At this time, I heard the old clock shout loudly: "Boy, I am now at the place where you said the squatting latrine chess piece ,Where are you?" I replied helplessly: "I turned back to that place again, and I was at the place with the chess pieces." Old Zhong said categorically: "Impossible, I'm standing next to this pile of bones now, either you've gone to hell, or I've gone to hell, otherwise there won't be two identical places, but we won't be able to meet each other." When I was looking carefully at the pile of white bones under my feet, I accidentally bumped into something under my feet. Looking carefully, it turned out to be a copper tortoise with a snake attached to the back of the tortoise.The copper tortoise has thick limbs, gripping the ground tightly, and the copper snake clings to it with its head held high. "Old Zhong, I found a strange thing here." I reported the situation to Lao Zhong.After hearing the description, Lao Zhong was taken aback, asked me again in detail, and then said hastily: "Leave that direction quickly and go to any direction you can go." Moved away from the snake and walked to a nearby bookshelf.I had just left for less than half a minute, at most thirty breaths, when dozens of copper spears suddenly appeared on the ground, like leeks growing suddenly on the ground. I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat, and almost turned into a hedgehog!I hastily asked Lao Zhong what to do now?Old Zhong asked me where I was now, and I said it was next to the bookshelf. He told me to climb up to the bookshelf quickly, then find a jar and move it down, and stood in the place of the jar. I acted according to my words, I put my hands together in front of a middle-aged man's pottery urn coffin, and moved the jar away. Just after I moved it, I felt that the bookshelf under me began to move non-stop. Move it to the left, Move to the right, and after a while, you can see a platform slowly rising in the middle of the bookshelf, and a large crystal clear urn is placed on the platform. I thought it was due to the fact that I moved the jar, and I was going to move another jar to try again, but the indistinct crying sounded again, and there was no reaction other than a trembling in my heart. At this time I only heard the old clock yelling: "Come and save me, someone is going to kill me!" I hurriedly climbed to the bookshelf and looked down. I saw Lao Zhong covering his face with his hands and crying non-stop. I was about to go down when he stopped crying suddenly, stood up and pointed at me and said, "Do you know why you were almost stabbed to death?" I froze for a moment: "Why?" "Because all of this was designed by me, it is my masterpiece, I want you to die here!" He began to roar hoarsely, and then rushed to the middle of the bookshelf, ready to overturn the jar in the middle Suddenly, I stood up straight again and asked me, "Do you know why you didn't die just now? That's because I saved you!" I'm stupid again, why did he suddenly become like this? "Among the four elephants, the north is the tortoise and snake god, named Xuanwu. Xuanwu is called the turtle and snake. It is located in the north, so it is called Xuan. It has scales and armor, so it is called Wu. From scales and armor, it is called Wu, to armor is Wu, Xuanwu The theory of the main soldier is established. Xuanwumen is usually the north gate, and the fierce gate is the north gate. When the general leaves, he will be punished with a funeral ceremony, and he will die." Lao Zhong suddenly began to recite some clueless words. , and there was no logic at all, then pointed at me and said in a tone I had never heard before, "You are now in the position of the turtle and snake, that is Xuanwu, Xuanwu is the North Gate, what is the North Gate? The North Gate is The door of evil, the door of death!" Accompanied by Lao Zhong's sudden madness, I suddenly heard a faint cry, which was still mournful and melodious, as if there were endless grievances contained in it, and this cry was full of attack, as if there were countless grievances Anger is inside, and there is endless hatred that has nowhere to vent. I looked at the crazy old clock in surprise, seeing him yelling in a state almost insane, I hurriedly called him: "Old clock!" He stopped after hearing my shout, and then suddenly Said: "It's good to be in power, you can enjoy all the glory and wealth if you are in power, you can be rich in the world if you are in power, you can dominate one side!" Then suddenly "giggled" and roared loudly, "You can also destroy the nine clans if you are in power, Only a half-life left in the swaddle." Then he started babbling and muttering things in a tone I had never heard before, things that he had never heard him say anyway.While speaking these crazy words, he kept hitting the copper "bookshelf" where I was standing, trying to get close to me, but because no matter how he turned around, there was a copper bookshelf in the middle, so he still couldn't come to me. In front of him, I frantically parried. As he kept hitting the bookshelf I was standing on, my feet became more and more unstable, and I might fall at any time. Just when I was about to jump off the bookshelf and temporarily avoid his attack, I found that there were suddenly a lot of mice on the ground. Their huge bodies had a pair of blue eyes, and they kept staring at me on the bookshelf. .Old Zhong slammed into the bookshelf, and just as a pottery urn fell, the waxy mummy inside was torn clean by them, and the gluttonous eating made people feel chills.I held back my nausea and wanted to find Lao Miao as soon as possible and then show him what happened to Lao Zhong. At this moment, I suddenly found that Lao Miao had slowly climbed over from the next bookshelf.But his climbing posture is very strange, using all four limbs together, crawling forward alternately, like a leopard climbing a tree.I saw him crawling not far away, stretching out his hand and saying, "Come on, Lao Zhong is possessed by a ghost, let's go down and save him." Then he slowly moved towards me. No, it all happened too suddenly, from Lao Zhong going crazy for no reason, to Lao Miao appearing from the sky, everything was inconceivable, as if they all followed my mind, and wherever I just thought, there would be a response If Lao Zhong's madness is justifiable, then Lao Miao's sudden appearance seems a bit strange, as if he had made an appointment.I ignored his complaints, and hurriedly calmed down, and saw that Lao Zhong suddenly stopped going crazy, stood there with a calm face, and said steadily: "I haven't come down yet, what are you looking at there?" When I came back to my senses, the old seedling that was stretching out my hand and waiting for me to catch it suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it had been annihilated in the air. Damn, phantom, this is the soul-separation technique. I seem to have heard my grandpa occasionally talking about it before. real person. The conditions aroused by Lihun Art are very harsh. It is said that it evolved from some Taoist alchemy in the Warring States Period. At first, the alchemists accidentally discovered that some ingredients in the ore emitted some smoke when they were burning for alchemy. People have an illusion that they can do whatever they want. These Taoist priests think that they have made immortal medicines. They can use these immortal medicines to make people feel celestial, and then claim that they can become immortals by doing so. Unfortunately, few of them become immortals. There are quite a few people who inhale the chemical poisonous fumes of these ores.Of course, this is the so-called current scientific explanation method, but it is said in the yin and yang Fengshui circle that the world is not benevolent, and all things are regarded as dogs. In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, some alchemists refined a kind of Sorcery, burying living people in a very dark place, and then using the brains of these dead people who were full of resentment when they died to dry and powder them to prepare, sprinkle them in lamp oil, and after burning, people who smell them will have a similar smell. Based on the phantoms of the memory of the undead during their lifetime, and can often kill people invisible through some grisly images of ghosts, it is a must-have product for the nobles of the kingdom in the chaotic era of the Warring States period to kill each other. But is it a bit overkill to use these things in the tomb?So much effort just to prevent tomb robbers?And in this tomb, there is nothing that can be ignited, and I don't smell any abnormal smell, etc., it seems that every time there is an illusion in front of my eyes, I can always hear a faint cry, Could it be that these cries disturbed my mind? Thinking of this, I hastily inserted my fingers into my ears, suppressed the tympanic membrane fiercely, and kept no sound from entering my mind. I tried my best to calm down my mind slowly and try to be as quiet as Mingtai. After a while, I felt nothing, no impact, no screaming from the old clock, and no illusions. I still blocked my ears with my fingers, and then gently opened my eyes.Only then did I realize that the pottery urn I moved was different from the other pottery urns. The human head planted on the pottery urn actually had eyes and ears, and there was only a pair of eyes full of whites in the eye sockets. I sighed after watching it for a few minutes, told myself that I was still not out of the illusion, closed my eyes again, and then opened my eyes forcefully from the bottom of my heart. After doing this for about two minutes, I opened my eyes again, and everything in front of me disappeared. It was still the copper bookshelf, and the black pottery urn, and the waxy human head on the pottery urn was still bald and earless. Eyeballs.The bookshelves next to it also suddenly became clear, as if they were not the confusing maze just now, and they could not find their way. They have returned to the appearance that Lao Zhong and I had before we found the "squat in the latrine" flag. At this time, Lao Zhong was neither crazy nor crazy, he was still the rational and calm old Zhong I knew, but at the moment he was squatting on the ground and studying the chess piece that I jokingly called "squatting in the latrine". This is a land game often played in the rural areas of the Central Plains. It consists of only a square and two intersecting straight lines in the middle, but there will be a pre-set trap on a certain line, called "Maokeng". On these simple lines, the two sides move the only few chess pieces back and forth according to specific rules, until one of them is squeezed into the "latrine" and drowns, then the opponent's victory is declared. Although the white bones in this position are very similar to the earth chess pieces played in the countryside, there are still differences. For example, the trap called the latrine is usually set on the side, so that the two sides will try their best to Kill a few more rounds, which improves the fun of playing chess.But the pattern placed in front of him puts the trap in the middle, which means that all chess moves may pass through the trap, and if one is not careful, he will directly die in the "latrine". "According to what you said, this chess game is full of murderous intentions!" Old Zhong said with an expression as if nothing had happened, "If this is the case, we should be able to leave the center of the tomb and return to the It's the entrance where we came with Lao Miao just now." After listening to what he said, I sneered, and I said that you really took me for a fool, you pretended that I didn't know that this was the Four Elephant Departing Soul Formation, with seven or forty-nine mummies and seven or forty-nine corpses The curse array made of soul-suppressing bells, but you are not good at cursing, but you want to curse your own son. Also, don't think that you are climbing on my master's back, I will treat you as if you really don't exist, just now In the position of Gui Snake Xuanwu, you directed this drama of leaving the soul. Is there another good drama waiting for me in the positions of White Tiger, Suzaku, and Qinglong? As soon as the words fell to the ground, Lao Zhong suddenly stood up, and there were two overlapping figures in the figure that slowly stood upright. Hmph, you are too underestimating my double pupils, who are born with a physique of Guiyang hiding Yin!
