Yellow River Craftsman

Chapter 245
Is there someone in front? !
The mood we had just calmed down suddenly became tense again.

In the gloomy underground palace, our spirit is like a tight spring, tense all the time, without any chance to breathe.

How could there be people in the underground palace?

Could it be that the crocodile mercenary group deliberately left ambushes and wanted to sneak attack us in the underground palace?
"Let's go and have a look!" Lao Yang quickly took out the pistol, pulled the bolt skillfully, gently released the safety, and winked at Lao Niao. The two of them leaned against the wall on the left and right, like civet cats, He ran out quietly.

The two of them had just rushed seven or eight meters away when two clusters of lights suddenly appeared in the tomb passage ahead.

"Who is this person?! Don't move, raise your hands!" Lao Yang and Lao Niao lurked in the darkness, raising their May [-]th pistols at the same time, aiming their black muzzles at the two clusters of light oncoming.

I shook my head and smiled wryly, why do the Chinese police always use this old routine, "Don't move, raise your hands!" Damn, if the enemy is really a mercenary, he would be a fool if he doesn't move!
Snapped!
Lao Yang and Lao Niao turned on the wolf eyes at the same time, and the two beams of light were like two snow-white knives, cutting through the darkness of the tomb passage.

At the same time as the wolf's eyes lit up, we took a deep breath, and the two clusters of light oncoming turned out to be two clusters of dark green will-o'-the-wisps.The will-o'-the-wisp floated in mid-air, burning quietly in the deep and dark tomb passage, like the eyes of two monsters, dark green and dark green, making one's heart tense.

Although the will-o'-the-wisps are not a terrible thing, is there anything strange about the will-o'-the-wisps that inexplicably appeared in the first emperor's underground palace?No one can say for sure, it's better to be careful!
Two clusters of will-o'-the-wisps slowly floated towards us, and when we got closer, we were surprised to see two pale faces gradually appearing behind the dark green will-o'-the-wisps.

They were two children who were only 1.2 meters tall. On the left was a little boy with a sky braid; on the right was a little girl with two braids tied on her head, a boy and a girl.You can see their facial features, but not their expressions.There was indeed no obvious expression on their faces, they were very indifferent, just like the undead before, their faces were dead gray.

Inside the tomb passage, we were surprised to see two pale little faces.

Sometimes, the scary things that can touch the heart are not those evil ghosts with blue faces and fangs and monsters with vicious looks. On the contrary, ghosts that look like people can bring more terror to people.

I saw the two children stopped three meters away from us.

To be precise, stop floating.

Because they don't walk on two legs like us living people, their two legs don't move at all, and the whole body is light and light, like a balloon, floating close to the ground, silently.They clasped their hands together, raised their arms slightly, and each held a cluster of dark green will-o'-the-wisps in their palms.The will-o'-the-wisps swayed slightly in the palms of their little hands, like two guide lights they were holding, dyeing their pale faces into pale green, adding an inexplicable sense of horror.

We were all a little surprised. We never thought that the "people" in the tomb passage turned out to be two children!

"Whose child is this?" The old bird put away his pistol and walked towards the two children.

"Don't touch them!" I hurriedly stopped the old bird: "Don't touch them, they are ghost boys, they may have some evil spirits attached to them, if you are possessed by evil spirits later, I will not be able to save you!"

While I was talking, the two ghost boys knelt down towards us respectfully, making a gesture of greeting us, then the two ghost boys stood up, turned their backs, and slowly drifted towards the depths of the tomb passage Walk.

We watched the strange behavior of the two ghost boys in amazement, not knowing what they were doing.

It was Cao Yi who reacted first: "I think they seem to be welcoming us!"

Lao Yang put the pistol back on his waist again: "Yes, I also feel that they seem to be welcoming us, isn't the action just kneeling to welcome us?"

It was very popular in the families of ancient emperors and generals to raise such children, which is a symbol of identity and status.Those who accompany the master to study and study are called book boys, those who are in charge of the master's daily life are called servant boys, and those who are in charge of guarding the door and doing chores are called door boys.The two children just now were like the doormen of a big family, welcoming the guests.

It seems that Qinhuang's old man completely regards the underground palace as his home, and when someone enters the underground palace, the doorman will come forward to welcome him.Although it is indeed a bit weird, I have to admire the designer's ingenuity.

"Hey, what a crime, such a small child has become a ghost boy, and has been here for thousands of years to guard the gate of the underground palace for the old man of the Qin Emperor!" I shook my head slightly, and my tone could not help showing regret for what happened to the two children , and the hatred of the brutal acts of the feudal emperors.

"You mean, these two children were intentionally killed and then refined into ghost boys and placed here?" Cao Yi asked.

I nodded: "The ghost boy is made from the soul of a child who died unjustly. Because the child is still young, has a weak sense of independence, and is easy to be dominated by others. It is the best spirit body for those evil warlocks. Qin Shihuang He believes in warlocks, and he is surrounded by strange warlocks from all walks of life in the world. It is not surprising that some people can refine ghost boys! It's just that this kind of behavior is against the virtues of heaven, and it is too cruel. After you have done so many outrageous things, you will definitely be sent to the eighteenth level of hell by the King of Hades after you die!"

After a pause, I went on to say: "I don't know what's going on about the refining of ghost children. It's probably that when the children are still alive, they are fed the so-called panacea. Their soul consciousness is affected by the panacea. Under these conditions, they will become weaker and weaker. After feeding Qiqi for 49 days, choose the most cloudy time of the day to cut a hole in the Tianmen acupoint of these children, and use a special method to release the child's soul from it. The body is drawn out from the body. The body that lost the soul is only a shell, and the child's body belongs to the spirit body, which is a great tonic for practitioners. Therefore, many evil warlocks deliberately keep the child's corpse to eat slowly , to practice sorcery and improve one's cultivation!"

Cao Yi sighed repeatedly, clenched his fists uncontrollably, and couldn't help but swear: "It's so fucking cruel!"

I reached out and patted Cao Yi's shoulder, and comforted me: "Human beings are the cruelest animals in the world, so there must be more cruel worlds in this world!"

Seeing my hand resting on Cao Yi's fragrant shoulder, Xiao Guoguo pinched me quietly, and said sadly: "It's well said, such as being cruel and ungrateful, it is also the most cruel behavior of human beings!"

"Nonsense! I am a person who values ​​love and righteousness!" I protested against Xiao Guoguo's words.

Xiao Guoguo gave me a white look: "There is no silver 300 taels here, am I talking about you? Why are you so eager to explain?"

"I... let's follow up quickly, those two ghost boys are far away!" I didn't dare to continue talking back to Xiao Guoguo, so I quickly changed the subject and took the opportunity to withdraw and follow.

Those two ghost boys were also very well-behaved, maybe they saw that we hadn't followed for a long time, so they stopped in front and waited for us.When we caught up with them, we turned around and continued to float forward slowly.

"What a sensible child, it's a pity that he died like this. He was only five or six years old when he died!" Lao Yang sighed regretfully.

Before the words fell, Lao Yang suddenly heard an exclamation, and the exclamation behind it turned into a dragging "Ah——"

I walked behind Lao Yang, and saw that Lao Yang's body sank suddenly, and his whole body sank by more than an inch.

My first thought at the time was, Oops!There are traps under the cemetery!

At the critical moment, I was still very witty, and reached out and pushed Lao Yang's waist hard.The force of this push made Lao Yang who had just sunk to jump up, and I also used this force to pull the old bird beside me to jump and retreat.

The old bird was half a body behind Lao Yang, so when Lao Yang stepped into the trap, the old bird's right leg had just lifted up to step on it, and at this moment, I had already pulled the old bird back , Then the old bird and I both fell to the ground, and the people behind stopped immediately when they heard the exclamation.They are all martial arts practitioners with all their nerves, and they put up a defensive position in an instant.

Even though Lao Yang is already middle-aged, his skills are more agile than young people. Being able to take the position of the leader of the serious crime team is naturally not a person who deserves his reputation.

Whether it is body speed or reaction agility, Lao Yang far exceeds ordinary people.

When the incident happened suddenly at first, Lao Yang might have been a little flustered, but with the help of my push, Lao Yang instantly recovered his sanity, his whole body was like a bow with full strings, and his mental state was instantly raised to the highest level.

I saw Lao Yang lightly tapped his toes, and he rushed forward like a swallow.

The moment Lao Yang jumped into the air, we clearly saw that a bluestone slab on the ground of the tomb in front turned over.The bottom of the bluestone slab was empty, and it was a ditch about three meters deep. The cold light in the ditch shone brightly, which suddenly dazzled our eyes.It turned out that the bottom of the trench was densely covered with sharp gun points.Those spear heads were like sharp thorns, all over the entire trench, and there was no gap for a foothold at all.Once someone rolls down from the flip, the result must be stabbed into a hornet's nest by those sharp gun points.

not good!

I suddenly exclaimed in my heart, and a flash of lightning flashed in my mind. This is a mechanism often used in ancient tombs, and it is called "serial flap".

The bottom of the previous tomb passage is hollow, and there is a shaft in the middle of each bluestone slab, and a small object of the same weight is attached to it, in the shape of a balance scale, to keep the balance of the bluestone slab. The stone slab was completely flush with the ground, and there was no sign of a sinkhole underneath.If someone stepped on the flap, one end of the flap would sink, and the person on the top would definitely fall onto the tip of the knife, cone, and gun below, and would end up in a miserable end.

If it weren't for my sharp eyesight and quick hands just now, Lao Yang would have fallen into the trap.

However, Lao Yang did not get rid of the hand of death. There was a series of flaps in front of him. Lao Yang just avoided the first flap, and at this time his figure was falling rapidly.
