Chapter 123 Rhino Horn
123 Chapter 123 Rhino Horn
The fat man said to Wu Xie: "What's the use of saying you want to go so far away? So far, I haven't found any clues to prove that anyone among them successfully got out. Maybe this place is a closed space and there is no way out. , it’s useless even if you close your eyes, everything is useless if you can’t get out, you can’t think about those things again after you get out, don’t think too much, you know.”

Wu Xie would be in a state of confusion, but he understood that the fat man's words were not unreasonable. If he couldn't get out, it would be useless to know, so he had to try his best not to think about that and not look at the photo.

Pan Zi saw that Wu Xie was a little groggy and started to cough, so he asked him: "Xiaosanye, do you have a cold?"

After seeing the photo, Wu Xie's mood fluctuated greatly. He coughed and coughed up blood. Pan Zi was even more worried and said to him: "Little Third Master, don't think too much. I know you have too many doubts in your heart. But it won’t take a while to figure it out. Why don’t you rest today, since you won’t be able to get out for a while anyway, so why not take a good nap so that your mind will be clearer.”

Wu Xie waved his hand and said, "I can't sleep now, and I will be even more tired when I sleep. I might as well think about a way to get out." He sighed as he spoke.

The fat man was also very upset. He sat and smoked heavily. There were several cigarette butts on the ground. As he smoked, he muttered: "I should have known that I wouldn't have left according to that mark just now. If only I had listened to me, a bunch of people were trapped." Now, the other group can still think of a way... Now that I think about it, the marks may have been left by these corpses. Maybe they left in separate groups, and those two people walked to the other side of the tomb passage. "

Wu Xie shook his head and said: "No, if one group of people is trapped and another group of people comes back to look for them, they will be attacked in the same way. Then there are not only these corpses. Maybe it is more dangerous to go to the unmarked side. , I don’t know what’s waiting for us.”

Wu Xie thought about it, the mark... the mark... suddenly he sat up and said, "I suddenly thought of a very strange flaw. This tomb passage is a refutation!"

When the fat man heard this, he said, "Ah? What the hell?"

Wu Xie thought for a while and said: "For example, if we are walking out in the dark, no matter what causes this cycle, we must have a process of changing direction, even though we can't feel this process, right?"

Seeing them nodding, Wu Xie continued: "For example, if I hold a pen and draw on the wall while walking forward, there will definitely be a long trace starting from the door. The moment you change direction, guess what you will find?"

The fat man understood immediately and said, "You will see that there are already traces of your scratches on the wall of the tomb passage in front of you!"

Wu Xie said more and more enthusiastically: "It's not just that! The most important thing is that after I turn around, the left and right changes. Then my hand holding the pen will start to draw a path on the opposite wall. There must be a turning point in the middle of the tomb path. , then at the turning point, we will be like walking into a mirror, walking in a straight line in the opposite direction. If we walk like this and really encounter the reflective surface I mentioned, how thick is this reflective surface? ?”

Pan Zi already understood and replied: "There must be a thickness. If there is no thickness, then when the front half of your body passes through, the back half of your body will overlap each other!"

"Yes! Because at that position, your front half has been reflected back, but your back half has not passed through the "mirror", so if my statement is correct, then we are passing through the "reflector" At the same time, you will definitely die! You will turn into a monster! Your face will hit the back of your head!"

Wu Xie continued: "So, we don't need to continue testing this third point, and we can confirm that the reflection of the tomb passage and the so-called "mirror space" do not exist and are not logical."

Wu Xie suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Wang Zanghai is not a god. He cannot create physical rules by himself. The institutions here have nothing to do with Wang Zanghai, and these people are not trapped to death because of this. The situation we are facing now is a special case. , is a new situation! And there seems to be only one possibility that is most likely to cause our situation..."

Wu Xie reached out and pointed carefully to the fourth item written by the fat man, moved his mouth, and said to them with lip language: "There is a ghost around us!"

I saw that they were finally making progress and said, "It seems that it's too much pressure to make Brother Wu Xie think there is something wrong. He would not be like this normally. However, the big brain should be mutated." Yes, I can’t count them as ghosts. Brother, let me tell you, in fact, normal ghosts look not much different from humans, just with a bit of yin energy and an ugly look. Those with weird looks usually have too much resentment and are mentally disturbed. Controlled." The little brother's eyes told me that he wanted to say "you have seen it", I said to him: "This is what Yi Sheng and Bai Ling from the other side forest said. They are responsible for this aspect of business, and I also I’ve only seen them look like ghosts, drinking tea and chatting, so I’ve only seen them who look the same as humans.” After saying that, he smiled slightly, seeming a little silly.

When they saw that Wu Xie, who talked about scientific theories in everything, was acting like this, they all began to lose control. One by one, their faces turned pale, they swallowed hard, and did not dare to breathe.

The fat man didn't dare to speak normally anymore, and said with lip language: "Are you sure? Look, I said yes a long time ago... So what should I do now?"

Wu Xieka thought for a long time and said, "I don't know. I've never caught a ghost."

The fat man said: "Then we have to find a way. If it's a ghost..." He winked at the corpses in the tomb and said, "I think it's probably one of the mummies in front of us. Maybe here." Someone's soul can't let go of mundane things and is still wandering here. When I see someone coming to accompany me, I naturally want to play tricks, but I don't know which one it is. But I am sure that it is not Shunzi's father. I haven't seen him in ten years. My son, of course, won’t joke with his life, that’s the other six bodies.”

Then I saw Wu Xie leading them to the body, asking them to kneel down, and then folding a few gold ingots out of waste paper and burning them for each of them. While burning, he kowtowed and chanted: "I am Wu Sansheng’s nephew, I have something urgent to do with my third uncle. Which of you is casting a spell? Please accept the paper money and let us go. We are really in a hurry. Why don’t we leave this fat man to play with you? Others will let us out. .”

I was happy when I heard the "poof" sound. The little brother shook his head. Fatty was almost furious when he heard it. He was so angry that if Panzi and Shunzi hadn't kidnapped him immediately, Fatty would definitely have a fight with him. Now he can only move his mouth: "Wu Xie, you despicable villain, I will bite you to death!"

After Wu Xie finished reciting, he carefully raised his head and looked around. The environment and the corpse had not changed. He sighed, shook his head, and waved for them to let go of the fat man.

When the fat man saw that there was no change, he sneered and said, "You see, Uncle Ghost is fair, and people look down on you for being such a loser."

Wu Xie teased him and said, "Who said, maybe people don't like you, it's true."

At this time, Shunzi seemed to have thought of something and said to them: "I don't think something is right. Look, my father is here. Even if someone is bad for us, my father will help, right? It's useless now. Does that mean that Aren’t these people the ones who did the evil?”

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie said: "Maybe your father has left, or there is more than one evildoer, and the old man can't beat him. I also feel that it may not be just a few here. These people have a good relationship with my third uncle, so they should be able to do it." Give them some face, and they are all adults. They should not do such pranks. I think it may be a kid, but the body is not here. Does any of you have any ideas? Home remedies will work. Anyone can see ghosts. No?"

Pan Zi said: "I heard that if you put cow's tears on your eyes, you can see ghosts."

The fat man laughed and said, "Okay, I'll leave the task of finding the cow to you."

Wu Xie suddenly said: "No, maybe you don't need the cow's tears to see it, but you have to sacrifice the fat man." The fat man didn't know what Wu Xie was going to do, so he became nervous and said, "Don't you want to kill me?" I, let my soul negotiate with the ghost, I won’t do it, if you kill me, I will definitely conspire with the ghost to make you even worse!"

Wu Xie stared at him and said, "Where did you think you were going? I want to use your gold-touching talisman."

The fat man hurriedly covered his chest and looked at him sideways: "What do you want to do? I am a genuine product. Can you bear to accompany me if I break it?"

Wu Xie stretched out his hand towards him and said: "The golden talisman is the most evil thing in the world. If it were genuine, how could we end up in this situation? I have just seen it. This thing is fake. Bring it to me." "

The fat man didn't believe it when he heard it: "Fake?" He quickly took it off and looked at it carefully: "Are you sure?"

Wu Xie said very confidently: "Of course, I specialize in this business, do you know? This gold-touching talisman is from a pangolin. The thing is getting darker and darker. You can see that yours has started to turn green. You are like this." It’s made of rhino horn, I’m not going to lie to you.”

The fat man's face suddenly changed color with anger and he cursed: "Damn it! Why are you so unlucky! That little bitch fucked me again. No wonder it doesn't work every time. Fat man, I hope I can get out this time." , unless his shop is demolished, my surname will not be Wang."

"It's true that his gold-touching talisman is not true. I won't read this, but I have heard that the material for the gold-touching talisman is made of the sharpest claws of pangolins. It has undergone a lot of processing. It's okay. When it's done, it will be black and shiny, extremely hard, dark and transparent in color, and shiny under the firelight. I think it's probably the big gold tooth that deceived him again. The fat man cares about this the most. It's to touch the gold captain to prove his identity. Token, that old man is in trouble. Rhino horn, I know what Wu Xie is going to do." I looked at the little brother with a smile and asked him: "Brother, did you already know that the golden talisman he touched was from rhinoceros horn? .”

He said nothing and tilted his head to look at me, then blinked.I mean, he always told me that Wu Xie and the others would be fine. He must have noticed it at some point. That’s right, but ordinary rhino horns don’t work. Could this guy also see it? , as expected.

Wu Xie took the high-imitation golden charm from the fat man and said to him: "Don't do this, you will find the real thing."

The fat man asked Wu Xie with a bit of a pout: "Then what do you plan to do? Press it on the forehead of the corpse?"

The little brother said to me calmly: "Do you know what Wu Xie is going to do?"

"I know, just burn it, but I remember that it was raw rhinoceros horn, and it was the horn of the rhinoceros rhinoceros.

This rhinoceros, when it eats grass, it only eats poisonous grass. When it eats trees, it only eats those with thorns. It never tastes smooth and tender grass.It tests medicine with its own body and develops its skills just to detoxify people. The Sky Rhinoceros is a spiritual beast, and a good one at that.

It is capable of cultivation, so it is not a problem to use some of its horns to take care of these little monsters, and the horns can also be repaired.His horns are white like a thread running from head to tail, and are regarded as a supernatural thing, so they are called Lingxi.

Ordinary human rhino horns don’t seem to work.Ordinary rhino horns are made of keratin, cholesterol, calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate and other substances, which do not have this effect.And the human rhinoceros is a protected animal.

If the fat man's rhino horn works, it can only prove that it is a very good imitation, and it is not made of human beings. It is not necessarily a Babel rhinoceros. Ordinary rhino horns with cultivation also have a certain effect, but they are relatively weak. .As for why he couldn't ward off evil spirits even if he took it with him, it was because it hadn't burned yet, and he could only shine out little monsters and devils, but it had no effect on warding off evil spirits.But I heard it from my brothers and sisters before, and I haven’t seen it either.But how did you tell? "

He said calmly: "Color."

"Color?" I thought for a while: "I know. Normal rhino horns will form a layer of pulp over time, and the color is amber, warm and translucent. But the fat guy's horn is green because it is different."

At this moment, Wu Xie was also telling Fatty about "rhinoceros telepathy", but they were all legendary.He also talked about some allusions from ancient books.

The fat man was confused when he heard this, and he didn't quite understand and said: "Isn't it a Hong Kong movie that was shown a few years ago?"

Wu Xie nodded and said: "Absolutely, that's what it means. As long as you burn this thing and use this light, you can see ghosts. Of course, I haven't tested it, so I don't know if it is true. Anyway, I know Jin Shu There is such a record in the book: "Qiao Xuan in Wuchang, to Niuzhuji, the depth of the water is unfathomable, and there are many monsters under it. Qiao then burned his rhinoceros horn and shined a light on it. In a moment, he saw the aquatic tribe overturned, with strange shapes.The person who dreamed about it at night said: "I say goodbye to Jun Youming, and I agree to take a photo!" The main idea is that the ancient Chinese could see gods and monsters by burning rhino horns and using the light emitted by the horns.The ancient sayings may be of some use. "

As he said that, Wu Xie took out the smokeless stove and put the golden talisman on it and burned it. It couldn't burn at first, but then a strange smell came out, and a strange light shone in the green flames.

Wu Xie raised the smokeless stove as high as possible so that it could illuminate as many places as possible, looking around to see if there was anything around that was not there just now.But Wu Xie walked around the tomb, but they didn't see anything.

Shunzi asked: "Maybe the ghost is hiding a little far away."

Wu Xie replied: "No, legend has it that if a ghost hits a wall, the ghost will lie on the person's back."

They all looked at their backs, but there was nothing. The fat man murmured: "Damn it, I told you that legends don't count. I wasted my gold-touching talisman and said it was fake. It was also a rhinoceros." It’s so horny, but it ends up being wasted and nothing is reflected.”

Pan Zi sighed and seemed a little discouraged and said: "It seems that this trick is useless. I'm afraid there is no ghost. What we have encountered is the fifth situation, which is unreasonable and has no clue at all. I don’t even have any reference, what should I do now? I’m afraid I’m really going to have to stop this time.”

Just when Wu Xie thought that there might be no chance this time, the fat man suddenly made a silent gesture, followed by Pan Zi, who also made a gesture to stop talking.Wu Xie became nervous immediately. He looked up following the fat man's eyes and saw a black "child" faintly appearing above them on the top of the tomb.
