The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 127 Entering the Diling Mausoleum
Afterwards, Xia Xiangxi realized that she was right to take the pewter on guard against that cute corpse.

The white wax was not just what Xia Xiangxi thought, it was actually used to trigger the defense mechanism of the cemetery.It was only after her grandfather told her that she was frightened into a cold sweat. Fortunately, she was still vigilant at that time.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, because the tomb robbery began to show its signs, and there was a momentum that could not be suppressed, many princes and nobles used suspicious tombs to confuse them in order to avoid the visit of tomb robbers after death, but such methods could not defeat the tomb robbers. The greed of the thieves, their indomitable determination, still managed to find the real burial.

Because witchcraft was prevalent at that time, some people used witchcraft and some hidden weapons to deal with those tomb robbers.

There is a defense mechanism made of man-eating grass. This man-eating grass is originally a plant. Except for fungi, no plant can escape the sunlight and air, but the man-eating grass cultivated by witchcraft is different.Witchcraft collects the ghosts of ghosts to ingest man-eating plants, and then cultivates them with the blood oozing from corpses, so as to develop the habit of those man-eating plants eating corpse blood. This kind of man-eating plants, which are half plants and half ghosts, once buried in the veins of dragons , nourished by the earth aura of the dragon veins, it will grow the evil spirit on it even more, allowing it to spread and grow like bacteria in the tomb. When no foreign invaders enter the tomb, the piranha will temporarily go dormant. Smelling the invasion of yang energy, it will go berserk, and instantly change from invisible to tangible, just like a terrible demon waking up from a deep sleep, as long as it is touched by its vine-like tentacles, the corpse poison it contains can be seen sealed in blood Throat, all living things are not only poisoned to death by it, but also eaten by it until only a skeleton remains.

The easiest way to judge whether this kind of man-eating grass is buried in the tomb is to identify whether the tomb has circulating air.Because although the piranha can adapt to the dark underground world, even if it is half-demonized, it still cannot escape its roots. After all, it is still a plant, and there is no life without air.Therefore, if the owner of the tomb wants to protect his mausoleum with such man-eating grasses, he will leave a lot of small holes on the wall of the tomb when building the tomb, so that the whole mausoleum can have air circulation, so as not to become dead , so that the man-eating plants have room to survive.

Grandpa said that it was fortunate that Xia Xiangxi didn't let that cute corpse take the candle, otherwise, once the man-eating plant was awakened, even a hundred Xia Xiangxi would definitely not be able to escape from birth.
One more thing, Xia Xiangxi guessed wrong, the cute corpse she met was not forced to be buried.Instead, she died tragically, and was buried in the underground mausoleum first according to her wish.Because when the cute corpse died, the entire Diling had just started construction, but the cute corpse had already died. In order to fulfill her wish, this tomb was built on the side of the Diling, and then the tomb and Diling were repaired. Pass.It is for this reason that this tomb does not have tomb doors and other tombs like ordinary mausoleums.Craftsmen repaired the tomb in the simplest way.

Grandpa didn't tell Xia Xiangxi these things, but she herself knew them through some causes and effects.

The cute corpse pretended to sigh and said: "Since you have seen it, I won't hide it." She pointed to the skeletons of Loach and Xiaosi and said, "These two walking corpses stole my Tomb, robbed me of being buried with me, and even made crooked ideas about my corpse. I didn't want to argue with them, but they were greedy and wanted to take away Yuhan and the fart that kept my body incorruptible, so I had to Eat their souls and turn them into walking corpses. Because I have been here alone for hundreds of years and I am so lonely, I leave them with me and lie to them that I sold their souls I gave it to King Miao, just to let them not hold grudges against me, and stay by my side without any grievances. Who knows, these guys actually took advantage of me to avoid the too humid earth and go to other places to cultivate, They stole my treasure and wanted to escape. They didn’t know that everything in the tomb was immovable. If they left the tomb, Ming Gui would follow them. I would also know everything about them because of Ming Gui.”

Xia Xiangxi sneered, and said: "But I heard the conversation between you and Niqiu earlier, it is clear that you and him joined forces to trick me into coming here!"

The cute corpse was a little taken aback, blinked a pair of ghost eyes, and immediately said: "How is this possible? I sleep here well and have never left. How could I recognize you? It's just that I know that the loach has brought a living person back. Waiting for King Miao's birthday in a few days, I will dedicate you to King Miao so that I can get his reward."

Xia Xiangxi didn't believe what this cute corpse said, but she also felt that it was impossible for the cute corpse to know her, so she stopped asking the cute corpse's intentions.

Xia Xiangxi is only worried about the corpse fungus now, and when the cute corpse knew Xia Xiangxi's worry, he said, "Since you understand this, you should know, as long as you return all the things and ask Yangming Guiren for forgiveness, Then it's fine. You're right, I really can't raise this ghost, I can take you to see him, but you have to promise me one thing. "

The exchange of benefits is fair!Xia Xiangxi asked Mengshi to say directly that as long as it was not too much or something she couldn't do, she would agree.

"Let's talk about it when the time comes! Don't worry, I will definitely not make it difficult for you. Besides, if I make it difficult for you, your goal will have been achieved by then, and you can break the contract if you want! Anyway, I have nothing to do with you!"

After making an agreement with Mengshi, Xia Xiangxi turned around and went up to meet Yami and He Xuan.She originally wanted them to wait up there, and if she couldn't come back, get out of here quickly.

He Xuan denied it outright. He didn't want Xia Xiangxi to take risks alone. Yami also said that they were all tied to a rope now. If they didn't take back Ming Gui's curse, they would die if they went back. It hurt the folks.

Xia Xiangxi didn't persuade them, so he could only let them go together.

At this time, Xia Xiangxi didn't know at all, she actually misjudged the "beautiful face" ghost, the one in Xiaosan and Xiaosi was not a beautiful face, but a kind of ghost.She clearly saw the Gu worms rolling off the loach after it was torn apart by the woman, but she still preconceived the concept of "beautiful face" and did not connect those Gu worms with ghosts.But everything has a cause and effect, and it was the wrong judgment that made her discover a big secret about herself.

When he was about to go deeper into the tomb, He Xuan's worries surfaced again.

He Xuan has been helping experts and professors from the Bureau of Cultural Relics to excavate ancient tombs. He understands that ordinary tombs cannot be entered casually because they are full of poisonous gas. Even the cellars built by farmers to store vegetables and sweet potatoes will produce poisonous gas that can kill people. What's more, it is a place like ancient tombs that is filled with putrefaction and corpses.He was quite cautious at the beginning, and he agreed to Xia Xiangxi's decision only after he realized that there was wind in the ground and the air was circulating.

The three of them followed the cute corpse and walked inside, passing through a tomb door, and there were countless staggered tomb passages and tomb chambers inside.Even He Xuan, who has been working in the field all year round, has no sense of direction when he comes here.In addition, there is no difference in the construction of each tomb and the tomb passage. This place is like a maze.If the cute corpse is lying to them, bringing them here deliberately, and leaving them alone, it will be a big problem for them to think about leaving here unscathed.

When Yami saw the intricate situation of the mausoleum, these were the first things she thought of.She was afraid that the cute corpse would deceive them, so she wrapped the neck of the cute corpse with a kind of black silk.Use it to control the cute corpse, if it wants to escape, she only needs to pull it lightly, and the cute corpse's head will come off its body, preventing it from escaping.This kind of blue silk is actually a steel wire thinner than a hair.This is actually a kind of ancient hidden weapon.Tie such steel wires to the trees on both sides of the road, and stretch them tightly. If a person riding a horse passes by the road and encounters such a steel wire blocking the road, he will not be able to see it at all. , but the head was already cut off by such a steel wire.
