Chapter 11 Chapter 10 Night Exploration of the Weird Han Tomb Two Thousand Years Ago

Elder Wang lamely chatted a few words, then led me and the three fat men along the corridor of the tomb passage to a brighter place on one side. The atmosphere in the empty ancient tomb passage became more and more dignified, with a suffocating smell, only the sound of "da da" footsteps was still echoing, shrouded in a strange atmosphere. Along the winding and cold ancient tomb road, we walked for another cup of tea, and finally came to a side room.The tomb has been in the ground for a long time. Although it is cold, dead, and old, it has also avoided the erosion of wind, frost, rain and snow. The overall structure has not changed much from hundreds of years ago.

Most of the murals are scenes of ascending to immortality and offering sacrifices to gods. Under the illumination of dim kerosene lamps, some unpredictable mutations seem to have taken place, as if they are about to break out of the wall. The end of the side room is connected to a deep and dark ancient tunnel, which is unfathomable, and there is a faint musty smell of dampness, and the darkness does not know where it leads. The third fat man and I entered the ancient tomb for the first time in our lives. We couldn't help being amazed, and looked around.Just when I was amazed, the three fat guys suddenly exclaimed "Ah" from the side, which shocked me a lot.

In this kind of ancient tomb, any noise would sound thrilling, not to mention the surprise of the three fat men, which was enough to scare people half to death.When I looked back, I saw the three fat man's eyes wide open, his mouth half-opened, his face turned pale, he was looking straight behind me, he wanted to say something but couldn't say it, as if he saw something very serious scary stuff. Immediately, my heart skipped a beat, and I hurriedly asked what happened to this fat man?At this time, the crippled old man Wang who was standing beside me also followed the gaze of the third fat man, and his wrinkled old face suddenly became gloomy.

His eyes narrowed, and a strange light flashed through them. I suddenly realized that there must be something wrong, and I quickly turned around to look at it, but just this one glance made my scalp almost explode. I saw that in the old tunnel connecting the tomb, at some point, a tall figure appeared, staring at us. The muscles of Fatty Three and I were stiff and our expressions were alert.There is no source of light in that tomb passage, we can only vaguely see that it is an extremely tall man with the help of the dim light of the kerosene lamp in our hands, everything else is in a haze.

The atmosphere in the entire tomb suddenly became tense. What is this place?This is the tomb of the princes and princes of the Han Dynasty at least 2,000 years ago. It is more than 30 meters deep underground. Let alone a human, it may not be easy for even a mouse to enter here.Moreover, looking at the expression of Old Lame Wang, the sudden appearance of this figure in the tomb passage was obviously beyond his expectation. That being the case, besides the three of us, what is this extra black shadow? Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a chill down my back, and quickly took a few steps back.The third fat man looked at me and swallowed in fright.I bravely called out: "Who? Come out."

The figure in the tunnel didn't answer, just stood there in a daze, staring straight at us, without even moving. We looked at each other in amazement: "Could it be that a ghost hit the wall? Er Ba Ye, use a kerosene lamp to illuminate, what the hell is this?" The three fat people changed color. I was about to go forward, but the crippled old man Wang suddenly stopped us and said not to go forward, this is just a stone figurine parked in the tomb passage, but the third fat man and I were skeptical of his words.Lifeless stone figurines will automatically block our way?And judging by the old guy's expression, things are obviously not that simple.He didn't want us to know the secret.

"What the hell is this, Gou Ri? Why did it appear in the tomb passage. Old man, although I am pure and honest, I am not a fool. You can't fool us like this..." The third fat man felt a little hairy. Old lame Wang took two steps forward, stopped in the middle of the tomb passage, narrowed his cloudy eyes, said something about this beast, suddenly smiled coldly, and took a few more steps forward, Gradually approaching the tall figure deep in the tunnel. "Just stand there and don't move, don't look, don't make a sound, just wait here!" Old Lame Wang suddenly stood still and said in a deep voice, then walked forward again.

"Hey, let me say Er Ba Ye, the situation is not very good now. There is obviously something dirty about this old thing and I don't want our brothers to know. Do you think we are going to go there secretly?" Now this is the situation Makes us very uneasy. "Don't act rashly for now, let's see what this lame Wang is going to do." I said softly beside me. The three fat men listened to my warning and made no other plans.The two of us stood in the tomb, looking towards the unfathomable tomb passage, quietly waiting for the further progress of the matter. "Boom boom boom!"

Suddenly there was a strange sound in the dark tunnel, followed by a series of screams, the sound was extremely sharp, not like the sound that humans can make, but more like a primate like you emitted by animals.Goosebumps on the backs of Fatty Three and I got up when we heard it. If it wasn't for Mr. Wang's cripple warning not to act rashly before entering the tomb passage, our brothers would have been shocked and rushed in. Listening to the movement coming from inside, Old Lame Wang might have started to fight the figure.This old thing seems to be getting old, but the means of his body are probably the trump cards of the four boards of the year. Even ordinary middle-aged boys will fall into the gutter if they don't pay attention in front of him.At this moment, when he started to move his hands, it seemed that the thing who didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost had suffered a big loss. It let out a scream of being injured and struggling, and the sound echoed through the cold tomb passage.

"Fuck, this old guy really has two hands..." The three fat guys next to him wiped the sweat from his forehead, leaned against the curtain wall behind him, and opened his mouth wide. Shuanzi's body was put aside by him, and he lay limp on the ground, still unconscious. Holding Xiaomei in my arms, I said to the fat man in horror, "This lame old man Wang is probably a strange person. I don't know how he has anything to do with the craftsmen in the western Hubei four-board business that the elders of Liulichang said." The third fat man was carrying Shuanzi on his back all the way. He was exhausted and gasping for breath. He said angrily: "What kind of ass and strange person, I think he is a dead star. Ever since I entered this bird place, Fatty, I have spent eight lifetimes." The bad luck is over."

Half a quarter of an hour later, all the strange noises in the tomb passage disappeared, and the sound of "da da" footsteps sounded in the darkness. Old Wang lame stepped out of the shadow step by step, with a gloomy face and stains on half of his body. There were bloodstains.The blood hadn't dried up yet, apparently it was left over from the fight with the unknown existence just now. "You're hurt..." I froze for a moment. "Hey, old man, you don't want to die, you are nothing to be a hero!" The third fat man got up from the ground all of a sudden, and said in amazement. "Hmph, don't make a fuss, it's not my blood, but that thing's." Elder Wang crippled a grin, and responded gloomyly. The third fat man and I looked at each other in astonishment, and we both focused our eyes on the face of the crippled old man, seeing that his expression did not seem to be lying.The old man's method is really scary enough, but he was so embarrassed, I don't know what he dealt with just now. In the tomb passage, with the help of the dim light of the kerosene lamp, one could vaguely see that the tall black figure before had fallen to the ground, motionless, not knowing whether it was dead or alive.I was secretly worried. "Damn it. Fatty, I want to see what's causing the trouble." The third fat man rolled up his sleeves and was about to walk into the tomb with a kerosene lamp, but was grabbed by the crippled old man beside him. There is a faint green light flickering in the unclear eyes, which looks very strange.The three fat guys stopped for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into a state of tension. "Master Lame, don't think about it. We don't want to find out the secrets of this ancient tomb. It's just that the thing we saw before has a strange origin, and I'm afraid it's not something evil like a zombie." Seeing the tense atmosphere, I hurried over To smooth things over, by the way, I want to hear something about it by insinuating. Elder Wang lamely said: "You don't have to worry, it's not a corpse change. On the contrary, we outsiders entered their territory. When I entered this Han Dynasty tomb through the kidnapper cave, I found that this group of things thrived here. A little tame. It’s just that they are scaled beasts after all, and they don’t understand human nature. Occasionally, ferocity bursts out, so you don’t have to worry about it.” I said, "What the hell is that?" Old Lame Wang took a deep look at me, laughed strangely and didn't say anything, but continued to lead us through another tomb passage. Seeing that the old man was not willing to give in, I couldn't help but secretly annoyed, but considering the current situation, I had no choice but to make a deal with the old man.In this way, we walked along the winding underground tomb passage for a full cup of tea before we gradually came to a branching tunnel with a relatively large area. "Don't pay attention to this creepy old clapper. I can't find anything if I want to ask. This old guy must have done something shady and sneaky. Let's find a way to get out of this cemetery first." Three The fat man muttered that he really didn't have much affection for Old Lame Wang. "I think if you have the guts to run up to him and scold him, then you are kind." I teased. Lame Wang ignored our conversation and continued to move forward. He stopped when everyone came to a tomb passage. He didn't know what he was thinking. The third fat man and I looked at each other and didn't dare to interrupt . In front of him is a forked tomb passage, and on the right is a step, which is so dark that he doesn't know where it leads.On the left is a straight tunnel, the whole body is made of blue bricks, mottled and old, very deep, with dark red marks on both sides, depicting many murals. On both sides of the tunnel, there is a portal every two or three feet, separating many tombs. Although it has been underground for so long, it is still as solid as new.But for some unknown reason, some tombs were also sealed by brick walls, as if to prevent something from going out or coming in, my heart couldn't help but twitch. "Master lame, something is wrong. This tomb passage is not clean. The black shadow we saw earlier appeared again..." The third fat man shivered suddenly, pointing to the straight tomb passage on the left in awe. said. In the depths of the tomb where you can't see your fingers, with the light of the kerosene lamp in your hand, you can see a few tall black shadows standing there like stone figurines, motionless, looking straight at us. "Didn't the lame kill one just now? Why are there so many? Damn, did we fall into the dumpling nest?" The third fat man's face suddenly turned pale. I got goosebumps on my back, and I could see it clearly.In the deepest part of the tomb passage is exactly the kind of figure I saw before.All of them are tall and tall, and they all look down at us indifferently. Although the third fat man is courageous, his scalp is numb from fright now, and he said to me with a straight face: "Hey, eighth master, let's discuss it. Get rid of me and the old cripple, and you are the most eloquent here. Or else You go to discuss with these brothers, we are just passing by, tell them not to be overwhelmed. After all, the brothers are not vegetarians, it is not good for anyone to turn your face on..." Seeing that this kid is still unscrupulous up to now, my heart is also ignorant, and I kicked his ass, but the three fat guys dodged it.I cursed, turned around and handed Xiaomei to his care, took out the dagger that had been pinned to my back from behind, and held the kerosene lamp in the other hand and said to the three fat guys: "You have come up with some bad ideas, discuss it." Shit. We made it clear that we have entered the lair of this group of things, which makes people think about it. Losers can't lose again, and fuck his grandma, I want to see what this group of dead ghosts are." At this time, I can't control so much anymore. The old cripple Wang on the side doesn't seem to have heard the conversation between me and the third fat man, and has been indifferent to it.So I carefully sneaked into the tomb passage on the left, who knows how far I have not gone, suddenly, my heart immediately sank.It turned out that at some point, the black shadow inside was less than three feet away from me. "Damn, when did this black shadow come to me!" I didn't dare to breathe out, and the hairs all over my body stood on end. In the shadow of the tomb passage, there is a black figure, extremely tall, like a stone in the darkness, motionless, but its two eyes seem to be able to penetrate the darkness. They were a pair of dark red eyes, somewhat similar to the shuttle-shaped pupils of snakes, cold and heartless, like two red will-o'-the-wisps flickering, looking straight at me. I had already stopped and confronted the figure in the darkness. It was tall and lifeless, as if it had no life at all, but standing there felt oppressive and suffocating. With the help of the dim light of the kerosene lamp, I tried my best to widen my eyes, but I could only vaguely see that the shape of the thing was very human-like.But suddenly a chill came down my spine, because I finally saw clearly that there was a thick layer of black hair growing on that thing... Seeing this, I couldn't help but gasped. Most of the courage I had worked so hard to accumulate just now was dispelled, and my heart thumped even more.I finally remembered what this thing was. It turned out to be the mandrill that was dismembered by the white-faced aunt when we went to Qinglong Mountain. Mandrills are also known as mountain ghosts and mausoleum guardians!There are many poor mountains and bad waters in western Hubei. This is an ancient beast that lives in the mountains and rivers. It has black hair all over and a ferocious temperament.It is uncommon in contemporary times. People in the world call it unknown, so they spread rumors, and gradually evolved into many strange stories about savages and hairy people.This kind of thing has iron claws and copper bones. It likes to dig holes in the ground, and it also likes places with heavy yin, and often lives in caves in ancient tombs.In ancient times, tomb thieves came across such creatures when they entered the tomb to find gold. They were panicked and mistook them for fraudulent corpses, and called them black murderers, Lao Sha and so on. Is this large tomb of the Han Dynasty the old nest of these mausoleum guards? Reminiscent of the mandrill that was dismembered by the white-faced aunt when I went to Qinglong Mountain, and what the lame Wang said before, I became more certain of this guess in my heart.Can't help but feel more and more suspicious, what is the purpose of this old cripple raising such a nest of mausoleum guards in the ancient tomb under Yizhuang?Is it just to protect the country's rare wild animals.But when I thought of the "big black-haired zongzi" in front of me, I couldn't help but twitched a few times.Who would have thought that so many strange things would happen to the Qinglong Mountain Yizhuang last time, we have nothing on our bodies, and now we can only support the scene with this small dagger in our hands. Just when I was hesitating in my heart, I saw that Shou Lingji was already very close to me. It was covered with black hair like steel needles, and even its face was covered with black hair. I couldn't tell what it really looked like. But it looks like a big black-haired horse monkey, with its arms stretched, it rushed towards me.It was as if a gust of wind was blowing, this beast was extremely fast, and it arrived in front of me without a sound, I could even see the black hairs on its two paws. I really didn't expect that the Shou Lingyu was so fast, and it came to my eyes in the blink of an eye. I had no choice but to care so much, so I reached out and handed the kerosene lamp up. Shouling Yu likes Yin Qi by nature, and lives in caves in ancient tombs.Lit by the flame of the kerosene lamp, he let out a scream and backed away.I didn't have time to think too much at the moment, so I grabbed the dagger in my hand and stabbed it.Seeing that I was in danger, the three fat guys at the back couldn't hold back any longer, cursed loudly, and swung the bench leg that I had been lifting all the time, and smashed it over my head and face. At this time, both of us had the same idea, whoever it is, let's round it up and beat it to death first.Unexpectedly, the Shouling Yan moved so fast, and dodged in a sudden, screaming again and again at the same time.Fatty Three and I were immediately surrounded by the tomb passage. The two of us clearly felt that those black figures gradually surrounded us in the fog in the tomb passage, their cold eyes penetrated the darkness and stared straight at us. The atmosphere suddenly fell into a state of extreme tension, and the three fat guys and I both changed colors. If we were surrounded by this group of mausoleum guards, even if we had more superpowers, we would surely die.At this moment, it was already a close call, and there was no need to worry about so much. In the tomb passage, there was no room for manoeuvre. When meeting on a narrow road, the brave would win. We had to see if there was a chance to rush out.The three fat guys and I had the same idea, leaning back against each other, swallowing involuntarily, and prepared to fight for our lives. Suddenly a big pale wrinkled hand rested on my shoulder, and at the same time, a hoarse old voice sounded: "You bastards, you always don't cry when you don't see the coffin. What are you doing with these things?" I was so frightened that I quickly turned my head around, only to see the old lame Wang appearing behind me silently like a ghost at some point. "Old man, why are you here!" An ominous feeling suddenly surged in my heart. "Hey, I said lame master, although you are old and strong, you are still an old bone. Why are you here to join in the fun? You are. You are here to fight the enemy bravely, and leave the dirty work to us young people. It's just a person. You can just watch from behind if you have old arms and legs. If you get involved in this way, Master Ba and I will have to take care of you later, which is not conducive to the overall struggle..." The third fat man suddenly said, let this The old guy backed away. But Old Lame Wang didn't pay any attention to the words of the two of us. He stood still, squinted his eyes, and confronted those black shadows in the dark shadow of the tomb passage. The two sides did not immediately make a move.Old Lame Wang's face was gloomy, he didn't move a muscle, standing there like a stone figurine. My eyes widened, but I could barely see the outlines of the black shadows in the tomb passage.These things are tall and seem to have no vitality, looking at us lifelessly one by one. It's just that each of the eyeballs are shuttle-shaped pupils like pythons. They are ruthless and stare at us directly, which is very oppressive. Old lame Wang confronted those tall black shadows in the tomb passage, and the atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point. Could this old guy still have a way to force these big black-haired rice dumplings back?Both Fatty Three and I were beating drums in our hearts. We didn't know what to do now, and we were extremely nervous! The tomb passage was cold and damp, and the condensed mist floated up and down, and those black figures were motionless in the darkness deep in the tunnel, as if they were lifeless. "His mother's seventh uncle, I can't take it anymore. If you want to beat, you can beat, you can kill if you want, what are you doing here?" The third fat man cursed and spoke with anger. Lame Wang's eyes gradually narrowed into a slit, and there was a hint of coldness in his pupils. He suddenly snorted coldly, stepped forward again, and pressed towards the front of the tomb passage.The black shadows on the opposite side suddenly stirred up and let out a series of gasping sounds, and the tall black shadows retreated one by one, submerged in a dark mist. Fatty Three and I stared at all this dumbfounded, not daring to breathe.The lame Wang looked coldly at the empty tomb passage, stepped back step by step, and at the same time said via voice transmission: "Don't look back at them, and don't make any radical moves, just follow me!" "Grandma, what a mouthful, this old man really has some tricks..." The third fat man was stunned, with a look of amazement.In the situation just now, he had already prepared for the worst, but he didn't expect that the crippled old man would force the group of black shadows back. We stayed away from the tomb passage, followed behind the old cripple, and walked step by step towards the bluestone steps on the right side of the tomb, obeying the old cripple's warning, not daring to look back. However, we still clearly felt the cold eyes of those black shadows protruding from the tomb passage, which made people feel chills down the spine. After climbing a long way up the bluestone steps, the feeling of being peeped at was relieved, and the tense atmosphere eased. "It's a pity, Fat Lord, I have already prepared thirty-six Arhat fists and seventy-two sweeping legs to deal with these big black-haired rice dumplings. It's a pity that they are useless now." The third fat man felt regretful. "Don't show off your unique skill of crushing boulders in your chest. You're lucky if you didn't die this time. Or, why don't you go back and talk to those buddies again?" I hugged the fainted Xiaomei, and sneered at the three fatty's words. "Hey, you think I don't dare. Fatty, I'm just afraid that if I turn back suddenly, I'll scare those gray grandchildren to death." The third fat man said without shame. "Oh, I didn't know that you are so powerful for so many years. If that's the case, you go now. The party and the people are waiting for the news of your victory." I added fuel to the flames. ... Old lame Wang watched me bickering with the third fat man, didn't say anything, just kept silent and led us up the bluestone steps. The tomb passage is cold and damp, with dense fog floating up and down, and the stone walls on both sides are mottled and old, full of traces left by the changes of the years.But because it was buried deep in the ground, it was lucky to avoid the erosion of wind and rain. Although it has gone through thousands of years, it is still very stable. "This place is too roundabout..." Three Fatty was very surprised, this ancient tomb is very huge, we have walked for so long and still haven't seen the end. "Don't move around!" I stopped him, afraid that the fat man would go somewhere else if he didn't pay attention. Soon, the tomb passage made of green bricks came to an end, and a corridor appeared beside it.The wall inside turned white, and it seemed that we had arrived at another tomb room. The lame Wang glanced back at me and the three fat men, nodded, and said, "We're almost there. Come in!" The two of us immediately cheered up, carried Xiaomei and Shuanzi who had fainted, respectively, and walked towards the entrance of the corridor with a kerosene lamp.It was very quiet in the corridor, only the footsteps of everyone "da da da" remained.After walking about ten meters, as soon as we crawled out of the stone gate of the corridor, we were stunned at the same time, and the three fat people even scolded: "This place is so evil." Opposite us was a tunnel, which was so dark that it led to nowhere, and another stone door appeared on the brick wall opposite.I used a kerosene lamp to look forward and saw a huge bronze tripod inside the tomb. I looked at the bronze tripod behind the stone gate, and said to the three fat people, "Fatty, can you tell what dynasty this big tripod is from?" The third fat man shook his head, but he didn't quite understand. Old Lame Wang went in first, then poked his head out to let us come over.Fatty Three and I exchanged glances, and walked into the stone gate one by one. An empty tomb appeared before our eyes. The entire tomb is made of blue bricks, with some weird characters engraved on it that no one can understand. The densely packed characters are arranged in the shape of yin and yang double fish, forming a huge clockwise circle on the floor of the entire tomb. .An ancient and mysterious atmosphere was naturally created in this gloomy tomb. On the center of the tomb's spiral formation, stands an ancient bronze tripod with three legs and two ears.The body of the tripod is huge, as tall as half a person, and many ancient and mysterious scripts and tripod patterns are engraved on it. Seeing this big bronze tripod clearly, my eyelids couldn't help but twitch.This is the oldest style of tripod, which symbolizes the Taoist thought that one life is two, two is three, and three is all things.The characters on this tripod are very strange.It is not the inscribed seal script that is usually seen, but an even older golden tripod pattern. It is a kind of writing used by ancient alchemists for alchemy and alchemy. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel dry mouth.Generally, this kind of tripod was unearthed very long ago. When an old farmer near Liulichang was plowing his field, he found a copper tripod the size of a human head. The style was the same as the one in front of him. There was quite a stir.This kind of thing is a heavy weapon even in the Han Dynasty.Anything that has been handed down to the present is an incredible thing! Of course, I didn't mean to reveal this thing.As the saying goes, "collection in prosperous times, gold in troubled times", antiques are only precious in peacetime, and only gold is the hard currency in the generation of monsters.It just so happens that the time outside is catching up with the time when the four old things are broken. This kind of treasure, which refers to the remnants of feudal superstition, is afraid that it will have to be smashed and set foot on the fate of never turning over with 10,000 legs. Lame Wang glanced at my expression, didn't speak, just kept silent.But I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart. What does it mean that there is a bronze cauldron used by an alchemist to make alchemy in this tomb?Could it be that there is no need to pay attention to the Feng Shui formation, or is the owner of the tomb himself a prince who is obsessed with alchemy? However, since the Qin and Han Dynasties, emperors and princes have been obsessed with the study of immortality, and it is not uncommon to use gold, stone, mercury and silver to make alchemy. We walked in through the corridor from the west side of the tomb. As soon as we entered the stone gate, we saw a large bronze tripod for alchemy in ancient times placed directly opposite us.It wasn't until I went deep into the center of the tomb and crossed the cover of the big bronze tripod that I discovered that there was an iron coffin in the innermost part of the tomb. Behind the iron coffin is a triangular-shaped step, and the step goes up to a spiral passage, and it is dark to know where it leads. But the big iron coffin on the east side of the tomb made my heart skip a beat. There has always been a proverb in the field of soil masters, "one black, two white and three holes", which refers to the three most taboo coffins when working in the field.One of them, Hei, was talking about the iron coffin.For Feng Shui masters, there is always a "demonic" aura on the iron coffin, which is generally used on certain specific evil things, and immediately sealed with iron coffins after death.Iron coffins in ancient tombs are mostly used to suppress demon corpses.Therefore, things like iron coffins are not common in ordinary tombs. We held kerosene lamps, and the entire dark tomb was brighter.But when I looked at the position of the dark iron coffin, I always felt so weird.According to the trajectory we have taken before, this cannot be the main tomb.In other words, placing such an iron coffin in the ear chamber does not conform to the ancient tomb system at all.Not only will all the feng shui arrangements be disrupted, but it may also attract a big evil.Thinking of the rumors I heard in the old Beijing Liulichang, I feel more and more inexplicable about the arrangement of the owner of this tomb. I always feel that there is something wrong here, and I feel hairy. At this time, I heard someone calling me next to me. I looked up and saw that the third fat man, the grandson, had climbed onto the three-legged tripod at some point.The kid half-handled the edge of the tripod, trying to see what was inside.Then he heard him exclaim: "Mother, why is there still a dead fox lying here?" I was shocked when I heard it, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I jumped onto the big three-legged tripod.Sure enough, I saw a withered green-haired fox inside the cauldron. It was so big that it was so old that almost all its hair had fallen out. Its face was very thin and its teeth were bared. There was a cold light together, almost forming a thin seam.At first glance, I thought he was grinning grinningly.Ugly and evil, it looks very strange.I was shocked when I saw it, and immediately turned around. To be honest, it's not like I haven't seen mummified animals in the past, but it's the first time I've seen such an ugly form like the green-haired fox in this cauldron.If ordinary people are not mentally prepared, they will be scared to death when they suddenly see this face.The third fat man was also taken aback, and hurriedly got down from the cauldron with a lot of bad luck, and he was still terrified as he got down: "This is so fucking evil. Could it be that foxes can give birth to freaks?" "This should be the burial habit of a certain regional ethnic minority in western Hubei. The tripod itself is a sacrificial vessel, and the green-haired fox is a rare mountain spirit animal. The owner of the tomb put the fox corpse here to sacrifice to people. These should be related to some Ritual stuff, I just don’t know what it’s for.” The three fat guys got off the ground, still still lingering in shock, they kicked the tripod cursingly, making a "buzzing" sound.I felt something was wrong and just wanted to stop it, but it was too late.Only the dull roar of the bronze cauldron could be heard echoing in the entire ear chamber. I turned my head to look at the crippled old man Wang, and found that he was looking straight at the iron coffin. I felt bad in my heart, and cursed directly: "Third fat man, you are a funeral star, this big tripod is a sacrificial vessel in the tomb. If you insist on touching that thing, sooner or later, I'll kill you if I'm with you." Who knew that the three fat men were stunned and didn't hear anything: "You fat man, I have a high level of ideological awareness, so I don't believe in your nonsense feudal superstition." He also smiled, and took out a few jade beads from behind: "But hey, don't tell me there are some good things in here. These beads are worth buying, and you can exchange two catties of fruit candy in the commune. How about I say Master Ba, let's open that coffin and have a look, maybe there is something good." When I saw it, my face turned pale, and I thought to myself that this kid really doesn't know how to live and die, and he still dares to pull his teeth out. "Damn it, stop talking nonsense, put the beads back, and get out of here!" At this time, I saw that the old face of Mr. Wang's lame man had changed, and he was staring straight at the iron coffin opposite him.My heart trembled even more, knowing that something must have happened. The third fat man was still thinking about the jade beads in the cauldron, and when he saw my serious expression, he quickly covered his mouth, not knowing what happened.Then, we heard a "cuckoo" sound similar to that of a toad panting. I felt chills at the side, and I said in a cold sweat, "Damn, this old man is not talking to the things in this coffin." Because at this time, I saw that the lame old man Wang squatted halfway on the ground, his cheeks bulging and shrinking, as if he was talking to the iron coffin.That weird voice came from his mouth. Seeing this, the three fat men finally realized what had happened, their legs went limp, and they almost sat down on the ground.I was also so frightened that my heart was beating non-stop, and I pulled the three fat guys over.The two of you looked at me and I looked at you, listening to the incessant "cuckoo" sound from Mr. Wang's mouth, their expressions became very ugly. At first, I thought it was the old man who saw that the fat man was disobedient, and deliberately pretended to scare us.But listening to it, my heart gradually sank. Because as the crippled old man's lips moved, a similar dull sound came from the iron coffin on the opposite side.Fatty Three and I watched this scene with horror, and the three souls and seven souls were frightened until only one soul and one soul remained.I thought no way, what the hell is this old cripple also a big zongzi who has become a fine person, otherwise how can he talk to the things in this coffin? Fatty Three and I were by the side, we didn't dare to breathe out, our muscles stiffened, for fear that a dumpling would pop out of the coffin if we didn't pay attention. The hairs on the third fat man's body are almost standing on end. Just now he was thinking about his coffin, but now his legs are almost limp from fright, and he cursed again and again, saying: "Mother, this is too bad luck, even this has been punished." Retribution... Damn it!" I don't know how long it has passed, but the muffled voice in the coffin gradually disappeared, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that it must be over, and I just wanted to ask what happened to the crippled old man. "Bang!" Suddenly there was another muffled sound from the iron coffin at the corner, and then it began to shake violently. The coffin lid shook and shook, which frightened the few people.His face turned pale. The three fat guys were so frightened that they sat down on the ground, and I also softened, trying to hold on so that I didn't feel so embarrassed.Among the few people present, only Shuanzi and Xiaomei escaped the fright because of coma. I don't know if it was their luck or misfortune. The face of the crippled old man suddenly turned pale, and suddenly he knelt down on the ground. At the same time, he asked me and the third fat man to kneel down as well, and kowtowed several times towards the iron coffin. At the same time, he uttered a series of words that no one could understand. His voice was very deep, like the sound of some kind of reptilian creature, very weird and weird.A few more muffled sounds came from inside the iron coffin, and then gradually there was no movement. Only then did Old Lame Wang heave a sigh of relief, kowtowed to the iron coffin again, and then stood up.His face was very ugly, and he gave the third fatty a hard look. The third fat man also knew that he almost got into a catastrophe, so he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he smiled embarrassingly.When I stood up, I heard Old Lame Wang say in a gloomy voice, "We can't stay here any longer, let's go out quickly." I looked at him and didn't understand what he meant.Just as he was about to make a sound, the cripple Wang made a gesture not to ask anything, and asked me and the third fat man to continue to carry Shuan Zi and Xiaomei on our backs, bypass the iron coffin, and walk up the spiral steps in the tomb , and warned us at the same time: "Don't touch anything here, let alone look back, just follow me forward!" 我和三胖子跟在老跛子身后，亦步亦趋地向着台阶上走去，再也不敢回头向后看一眼。 只是，身后那种如影随形般的可怖的冷意，依旧让我们感觉到如坠冰窟。 直到走出去很远，早就看不到身后的墓室了，那种紧张的气氛才稍微缓和了些，我这才擦了擦额上的冷汗，小声道：“跛子爷，那铁棺里到底是什么东西？” “不要问，也不要多说。那铁棺里的东西很厉害，被放在这里已经好些年了。要是把它放出来，我们这几个人一个也不能活着出去。”老跛子只有这一句话。 “我说跛子爷，胖子我这次算是彻底地服气了。”三胖子好了伤疤忘了疼，笑着，“嘿嘿，就是不知道你刚才和那棺材说的是哪门子话，得了抽空教教咱怎样？” 王老跛子也不去理他，过了好半天，才闷声说了句：“我这话活人是学不会的。” “活人是学不会的？这是什么意思，难道是给死人学的？”我心底一阵寒冷，觉得很是诡异和不解。 三胖子腹诽地说：“跛子爷您要是不想教，就直说嘛。何必消遣胖子我呢。嘿嘿，活人学不会？那您老是怎么学会的。莫非你也和之前那铁棺材里的东西一样都是汉代以前的大粽子？” 王老跛子扫了我们几眼，眼神有些冷，没有说话，只是阴阴地笑了笑，继续带头向上走。 三胖子自讨没趣，见状也不生气，冲着老跛子的背影撇了撇嘴，朝我招呼着：“快点。二八爷你都落后一大截了，赶紧跟上。” “你小子管好自己就成了，别乱吵吵了，小心再惹上麻烦。老子剁掉你的猪头。” 我笑骂了声，就觉得身后似乎有什么东西看着我，心里有些奇怪，忍不住回头看了一眼。 只是这一眼，让我额头上的冷汗一下子下来了，身子忍不住打了个哆嗦。 这墓道是向上倾斜的，两边都是石板文，雾气越来越浓了，不多时，视线都无法穿透墓室中诡异的大雾。 那条墓道的正下方的黑暗中，不知道什么时候，似乎还站着一个佝偻着背的身影。那是一个干尸般的老头，只剩下皮包骨头，一头干枯的长发蓬乱如杂草一般。 可是奇怪的是，墓道口的那个身影如化石一般，我越看越觉得熟悉，终于看清楚了，那黑影的模样竟然—— 竟然像是王老跛子本人。 这情形是如此诡异，让我忍不住打了个寒战。如果下面的人是王老跛子的话，那前面一直和我们走在一起的是什么东西？我扫了扫前面老跛子佝偻的后背，又看了看墓道下方的那个人影，身体几乎不能动弹了，脸色苍白，没有一点的血色，声音被卡在喉咙中说不出一句话来。 “不要回头，不要向后看，招惹上这里的主咱们一个也活不成！”像是觉察到了什么，一直走在最前面的王老跛子一声沉喝，带头快速向上走去。 “谁啊，谁向后看了，哎呀我说二八爷你就不要回头看了，胖子我好奇心这么大，也才回头看了一眼，什么都没有看清，这地方太古怪了。咱们还是先离开再说吧！”三胖子近乎崩溃的自语。我不太相信那是死人，可是王老跛子在前面已经发话了，我也不敢再回头。身后的雾气越来越浓了，遮住了一切，我们只得选择继续前进。 几个人加快了步伐，又走了大概十几分钟，我们到了一处被铁索锁住的门户，打开后穿过房间就来到了一处加粗的回廊，这一段赫然就是我们刚刚进入攒棺的义庄走廊。想必是有一条密道从地下墓道一直通往这里，只是这密道太过隐蔽，不熟悉的人想要再重走一遍都很困难。 王老跛子检查了一下门后，又重新将大铜锁锁上，我们从门缝里看进去，依稀还能看到一条隧道，内里一片漆黑。 终于出了大墓，我长出了一口气，不知道该说什么是好。外面空气流动，冷风一吹，人打了个激灵，一旁的三胖子显然也松了口气，一边扛着昏迷的栓子，一边打了个哈欠。王老跛子沉默无语，半佝偻着身子，满脸的皱纹，和三胖站在一起，倒像是爷俩。
