Chapter 49: Walking at night with candles

Shirley Yang, Sun Jiuye and others don’t remember this situation in "Picture of Walking with Candles at Night". It is impossible to get the picture wrong. Could it be that after entering the ancient tomb and the strange phenomenon appears in the painting?

Shirley Yang shook the torch in his hand, and the ghosts in "The Candle Walking Night" also appeared and disappeared. Only then did everyone realize: "In ancient paintings, they were once depicted with a cuttlefish pen. These ghost ghosts will only appear under the fire."

Master Sun Jiu took a breath: "Where is the immortal house? It's a ghost cave hell. There must be some terrifying things in the earth immortal tomb. But... Why did Feng Shigu hide this information in the painting? Is this suggesting a secret? All the people in the earth immortal village have long died, and who did he leave this for?"

When everyone saw "special phenomena" appearing in "Picture of Walking with Candles", they were all shocked and suspicious. What Professor Sun said was indeed good, but when they thought deeper, although there was an example of "preventing fire" in the coffin and wealth mountain, in the late Ming Dynasty, they still mainly relied on "candles and fire handles" to light up the darkness. Several scrolls painted by the earth immortals themselves were hung in the dark underground pavilion. If outsiders don't understand the truth, they will naturally watch the lamp. They must have been deliberately left to those who have the opportunity to enter the mountain in the future.

"Mineral Light Source" is rarely used among tomb robbers of all dynasties. Although it is said that some people used "Night Light Pearl" tomb robbers in ancient times, the luminous pearls are extremely precious and rare, and are rare in a leisurely manner. They cannot detect underground air quality and self-defense. Therefore, it is just an exception among tomb robbers and has never been widely circulated in "official thieves and scattered thieves". Even exploring ground tombs cannot be separated from fire candles.

The earth immortal Feng Shigu sent the "Survey of the Mountains" to the descendants of the Feng family, leaving a secret passage that appeared once every twelve years, so that they had the opportunity to enter the ancient tomb in the future. This was also a very unreasonable move. Most of the time, Feng Shigu knew that all the tombs in the world had been discovered. There was no tomb in the world that was always solid and secret. Even if it was not robbed by the fighters, it would be destroyed sooner or later as the mountains, rivers and fields changed.

Feng Shigu's arrangement in this way is really a heart-warming feeling. The mystery of this ancient tomb of Earth Immortal is not "hidden", but a word "out". When outsiders enter the coffin mountain, it is the time when the earth Immortal comes out. Not only Professor Sun, the descendant of Feng's family, but even our group of gold-touching lieutenants are all "chess pieces" controlled and used by him. Entering the ancient tomb for life is just to bring Xuan Yin Sheng for Earth Immortal Feng Shigu. He knows that entering the underworld hall in the belly of the "corpse veins", he will definitely encounter unexpected problems. However, due to the situation, we have to go step by step toward the abyss, just like those who were buried with the previous ones, step by step. The only difference is that we know that this is very likely a dead end with no return.

At this time, I heard the sound of biting rotten wood in the distance of the tomb passage gradually approaching. The countless "coffin insects" were drilling around after entering the "Dixian Village", chasing the yin and corrupt atmosphere. There were many copper coffins in the ancient tombs, and there was no gap to enter, but some lacquer wooden coffins were inevitably chewed into pieces by them, along with the coffins and corpses.

Our group of people were infected with a lot of gloomy corpse energy in the "Wuyang King Underground Palace". Sun Jiuye's condition is even more serious. I have not yet figured out whether he is a dead person or a living person. I even suspect that he will "corm transform" at any time, so we have become the targets of activities to attract nearby "coffin insects".

In fact, although corpse insects, coffin pupas and other objects are terrible, they may not be able to resist. The most terrifying thing at the moment is the "Nine Death Jingling Armor". Once it breaks through the wall of the coffin mountain, it will inevitably shatter the Dixian Village and the headless corpse veins, "Where can there be a complete egg under the collapse of the nest?" Jieshi, whether it is the ancient corpse in the cemetery or the living people in the ancient tomb, they will burn both jade and stone.

I stared at "The Picture of the House of Viewing Mountains and Viewing the Mountains" for a while, and I had several thoughts in my mind, but I had no good plans to get out of it. Now I can't blame the situation of class struggle for too complicated, I can only blame my thoughts for being too paralyzed.

Shirley Yang reminded me: "Our torches are almost used up, so we can't delay too much in the cemetery where there are gaps everywhere."

I bit my back teeth and thought that this time I couldn't make it. At worst, I could die together. After being prepared, I felt much more at ease. So I said to everyone: "The Dixian Village in the Coffin Mountain and the ancient tomb group below are all connected. Only the Dixian Tomb on the belly of the Corpse-shaped Mountain is relatively independent. From the picture, we are not far from the Dixian Tomb. According to the previous plan, no matter what is inside, we have to venture into the tomb chamber and find a way to find Feng Shigu's body and burn it to prevent future troubles."

Master Sun Jiu was a little confused. The "Focus on the Mountain" handed down by Feng Shigu seemed to be a soul-stirring mantra, which blinded Feng Shiqi and his descendants for hundreds of years. Now he felt that this was a conspiracy. He now did not advocate entering the Earth Immortal Tomb again, and regretted that he had not planned it thoroughly and should have collapsed the mountain with explosives from the outside.

The fat man cursed, "Don't have a big dream of Qingqiu anymore. If you want to blow up so many high mountains in the Coffin Gorge, how many military-level high explosives do you need? Where can you go?" He immediately reached out and pulled Master Sun Jiu who was squatting on the ground, and dragged him to the front of the tomb passage, and said to him: "Strengthen discipline and fight invincible. Do you understand? Sun Laojiu, you must be right to listen to the highest instructions of Master Pang and Old Hu, so hurry up and leave."

I waved my hand and called Shirley Yang and Yaomeier. Everyone shook the torch in their hands and extended the tomb passage straight forward. Referring to the direction in the picture, I turned over a Northern Song Dynasty tomb with an iron rope hanging coffin and reached the edge of the "Dixian Village". At this point, we only had three torches left in our hands that had not yet been extinguished.

In my "carrying bag", there is still a can of tincture oil and fuel left, which can increase the fire and dispel the coffin insects coming from all sides. However, I was doubtful about whether the ancient mirror of Guixu could suppress the immortal Feng Shigu, and even said that I forgot to leave these tincture oils as the final "trump card", so I would never use it easily, so I had to make up my mind to break out.

So I led everyone to open the broken stone door at the exit of the secret passage, opened the road with a torch, and rushed out. Unexpectedly, the situation behind the village was surprising. Thousands of coffin insects that were alarmed by copper erosion did not climb to the abdomen of the Corpse Mountain, and there was still a strange atmosphere of silence and silence here.

I calmed down and saw a giant monument on the hillside outside the village. The monument was wedged with the six characters "Lingxing Hall of the Earth Immortal Tomb" and was engraved with exquisite star palace patterns. There were stone-carved spirit beasts carrying each other on the monument. I wanted to see clearly what was going on, so I climbed to the top of the monument and looked around from a high place.

I saw several arc-shaped shallow ditches on the abdomen of the corpse-shaped mountain. Every ten steps, there was a tall, tall single-legged bronze man. The bronze man was naked, with a 70% appearance like a ghost, and a three-point talent like a man. Their appearance was frightening, with wide eyes wide open, and Yang Shu kept gushing out of his mouth, flowing into the stone troughs in the ditch, like dark red blood rivers circling, blocking all the coffin worms crawling from around. Although Yang Shu was a cold mineral and had no heat, it was enough to make the coffin worms who were afraid of light dare not cross the line.

Located on the mountain among several circular Yangsui Rivers, it is surrounded by a deep valley formed by a crack in the mountain. There are a plank road on the wall. There are several archways spanning the sky on both sides, with flying eaves and pillars, which are staggered in height, and look extraordinary. The tomb of the earthly immortals depicted in "The Candle Night Walking" should be at the bottom of this deep valley.

I returned to the bottom of the stone tablet and asked everyone to jump over the storm of Yang Sui. Everyone temporarily got rid of the coffin worms that were chasing behind them. They felt a little more at ease, but when they walked to the archway, they looked at the deep valley of Pangu's corpse. They saw that it was pitch black and invisible, quiet and weird, and they also felt an ominous feeling of "just leaving the tiger's den and returning to the wolf's den".

Although the youngest girl is extremely brave, what she has seen and seen in the past few days is all amazing things that have passed by death, and it is inevitable that she is a little unruly. Moreover, the legend of the earth immortal tricking living people into the tomb and burying them for their lives has been circulated in Qingxi Town since ancient times. When she looked at the bluestone plank road on the wall, she looked like green pythons winding into the depths of the cave, and she felt even more panicked.

I had to give her some Kuanxin pills. While extinguishing the torch and replacing the last spare battery for the tactical spotlight, I told her that the legend of the earth immortal Feng Shigu who wanted to come out of the mountain to save people was very unreliable. This man had been dead for many years, and his body was either dead or rotten, and at most it was a mummy. How could he become an immortal? I have traveled all over the world and entered many ancient tombs in this life, but I have never seen any corpse immortals in any tomb. I took a step back and forth, even if the old landlord Feng Shigu was really out of the way and wanted to come out of the mountain to harm people, it would never succeed. I believe that history and the people would definitely not allow such things to happen.

The youngest girl nodded, saying that although she was too nervous, she could still follow the team. The fat man said, "Don't worry, I think it's time for Master Sun Jiu, the filial son and grandson of the Guanshan Feng family, returned to his position first. At that time, he would have to bring the Guanshan Taibao in the tomb to give us a custody. It would not be over if they were not disturbed by the matter."

Master Sun Jiu shook his head helplessly: "It's time for you to be so fast?" He said to me again: "Don't pick up the big ones and blow them. Do you still keep some tincture oil to burn the ancient corpses in the tomb? Then don't be reluctant to take action when you see the bright objects in the room. Don't hesitate to slut. If the corpse fairy in the tomb really escapes from the coffin mountain, our troubles will be great."

I was about to say, "I don't need to tell you about this matter at all. I naturally know the interests of priorities." But suddenly I heard the sound of cracking silk from the rock layer above my head. The cracking silk sounds continued, which made people's ears hurt.

Everyone subconsciously looked up, but on the one hand, there was no sunlight underground, and on the other hand, there was a bloody fog in the air, and there was no way to see the situation in the rock formation. The young girl said strangely: "Is this mountain going to collapse?" Shirley Yang said: "No, the coffin mountain is a sarcophagus with uncovered mouths, and it seems that the Jiushi Jingling Armor buried in the mountain shell is about to fall off."

Although no tomb robber has ever encountered the "Nine Death Jingling Armor" in the past thousand years, I have heard of the sharpness of this object. This underground plant that grows with bronze and flesh cannot be dealt with in just three or five people. The sound of copper-eroded blood armor struggling and wriggling in the rock formations is like the roar of death. Every time we hear a sound of cracking silk in the air, it is like a basin of cold water on our body. We can't help but feel frightened and the chill suddenly increases.

We were worried that Jinglingjia would appear from the thick fog at any time, so we did not dare to stay too much on the surface of the Corpse-shaped Mountain. We hurriedly wrapped Professor Sun and Xiaomei'er in the middle and walked down the stone steps embedded in the wall.

Above Lingxing Hall is a deep valley with two walls facing each other, very narrow and steep, with ancient walls on both sides as neatly as knife and axe chopping. In the light beam of the spotlight, you can clearly see the undulating rock veins in the strata, but when you look close, the soil is also full of uneven concave and concave places. There are many strange-shaped jade biscuits buried in those places, some are bright red, and some are lush. They are not modern things, and most of them are incomplete. According to the records in "The Legend of the Mountain Digging Tibet", these jade wares are all buried in the coffin mountain during the Wuxie culture.

I remembered the scene I saw in the scroll before. When those who were buried in the tomb were passing through this road, there were many ghostly ghosts hidden in the walls buried with jade artifacts. However, when they were in this situation, they did not see the situation described in "The Candle Night Walking". The rest of the people must have had this idea. Everyone felt that the coldness behind them was as if there were evil ghosts following behind them, and they would look back from time to time. The deeper they walked, the stronger the feeling of uneasiness. The surroundings were gloomy, and there seemed to be no direct threat in the darkness, but they could feel the strange atmosphere contained in the silence, as if they had entered the dragon and tiger den. Everyone couldn't help but tighten their muscles and their bodies were on alert.

Shirley Yang suddenly remembered something, and she whispered to me: "In that "Picture of the Candle Walking at Night", everyone was holding lanterns and torches, and we lit the candles to see the black shadow hidden in the painting. Perhaps this is a hint that we must rely on the fire in front of Lingxing Hall to see some things that we usually cannot see."

My intuition also tells me that there is indeed some kind of "thing" buried in the rock and soil layer of the Pangu Vein. It is likely that the "ghosts" depicted in the scroll. Because we don't know what their true face is, it is difficult to distinguish good and bad luck. If we continue to walk deeper, we may encounter unexpected problems at any time. After Shirley Yang said this, I planned to light a candle to see what happened.

Anyway, when lighting the lamp, Liangzi was always the move that the captain of the gold touched the gold. Since I was in the abdomen of the mountain and had no worries, I immediately took out half of the candle, lit it in my hand, and used my palm to hold the flames, and continued to walk down the stone steps while holding the candle to shine on the rock wall beside me.

The candlelight shone on the wall, reflecting the broken jade pieces with lust. It was more magnificent and mysterious than the light beam of tactical spotlights. The fat man was so greedy that he suddenly became greedy and couldn't help but reach out to touch it, wanting to pick a few pieces of it down as a "soccasion".

Master Sun Jiu was worried about the fat man's faults, but he had already persuaded him many times before, but he was all obsessed with the fat man's improperness. At this time, he had to change his way and reached out to stop him and said, "These jade artifacts as sacrifices are very evil. Fatty Wang, don't be greedy for a moment, just move these things around, and you have to fight against private criticism and repair, and fight against private criticism and repair!"

The fat man said innocently: "In the world, I'm afraid of being serious. Fatty, I'll chisel a few pieces of it and go home to study it carefully to see where these jade artifacts are. Could this be considered selfish?"

When Mr. Sun Jiu met a fat man with a person with a bad mouth, he would never make sense even if it made sense. I saw that Mr. Sun Jiu wanted me to come forward and emphasize the important principle of "strengthening discipline", so he turned his head and pretended not to see it, and only focused on observing the stone wall reflected by the candlelight, but found nothing abnormal.

I took a few more steps down, but I heard that the fat man and Sun Jiuye who were arguing behind me suddenly calmed down at the same time. Shirley Yang and the youngest girl walked in front quickly stopped and turned around to see the situation behind me. I saw that the fat man and Sun Jiuye were both stunned on the spot, staring at the rock formation motionlessly.

I pulled my feet back to the high of the stone steps and looked at the two of them. It turned out that the fat man used an engineer shovel to knock down the jade bi embedded in the wall. The soil and stones fell off the shovel, exposing the things inside. The floating soil was filled with whole pieces of ancient jade, stacked into a wall. There seemed to be a vague outline like a ghost in the jade wall. When I held the candle close, the vague ghost suddenly became clear. What was even more surprising was that it seemed to be tangible and intangible, and it could move around the wall. In the trance of the candlelight shadow, the black shadow suddenly raised his hand and moved forward and made a gesture to rush out of the wall. I felt a sensation of the candle flame in my hand swayed twice, and it was about to extinguish it.
