Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 121

"If she finds something useful in a while, she will definitely snatch it from me." Lao Jiu said in a low voice, "Hurry up and cover me. I can't rely on Meng Luo, only you, Lin Tianyi."

"Received, don't worry." The locator in the pocket suddenly lit up, and those people began to search for our location. We didn't delay any longer, and went down immediately. Looking at the looming light below, I felt a lot more at ease. Skidding, I suddenly began to worry about Monroe, those three people wouldn't be against him, right?
Thinking of this, I went down faster and faster. Fortunately, as soon as I went down, I saw Mengluo jumping there with his arms around his body, and Qijie was staring at the front. By the way, the space seemed to change instantly. Bigger, this place has become vast.

Looking at the past, I can't see the end at a glance. The light is one reason, and the large space here is another reason. Not far in front of us, there are two faint lights flashing on the left and right. Seventh Sister is Looking there, hearing the movement behind him, he said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you so slow?"

Lao Jiu snorted: "It's not that we are slow, it's that you are too fast."

Thinking that Old Ninth Master might have found the map of the Undersea Dungeon here, my mood became urgent: "I don't know what it is that is bright, go and have a look."

The soil under my feet is not the bluestone slabs I imagined. Although it is underground, it is very dry. The Zhengyang talisman in the middle of the clothes has become hot. I know what this means, but there is a cinnabar bomb in my pocket. What are you afraid of?

Tiger and Ah Qing bent their bodies slightly, and instantly they shot out like two arrows, one left and one right, respectively flashing towards the two faint lights, Seventh Sister suddenly shouted: "Slow down, In case of wind."

The two of them seemed to have a remote control on their bodies, and they immediately slowed down and approached slowly. When I approached, I suddenly paid respect to Seventh Sister. Since they were so far away, Seventh Sister could judge what it was, which made me The two slowed down, because there were two ever-burning lights on the left and the right in front of them!

Since ancient times, Changming Lanterns have been lit by every household in Xiye. Once lit, they cannot be blown out until the oil is exhausted, and the candles will go out by themselves. This is an ancient traditional custom.Eternal lanterns will also be placed in the tombs of Chinese kings, hoping that they can be as brightly lit as the palaces in their lifetime.

At this time, two porcelain vats were arranged on the left and right sides of the front, filled with waxy kerosene, each with a wick inside, which was the ever-bright wick, and their flames were quite small, almost clinging to the solidified kerosene in the vat.

"It's the ever-burning lamp." I still have some bad memories of the ever-burning lamp. On the night I brought the ever-burning lamp back, my shop was gone...

These two ever-burning lamps were much bigger than the ones I brought back, and it took two people to hold the two porcelain vats. Seventh Sister looked around and couldn't really see the surroundings. She murmured: "What is Master doing here? "

"Old Jiu, does your master know some yin and yang techniques?" Meng Luo asked suddenly.

Seventh Sister and Lao Jiu showed suspicious expressions on their faces, and Lao Jiu said: "People who have been walking underground for many years know some basics, such as using cinnabar to prevent corpse poison, but it is still not enough to use talismans and spells like you. "

Meng Luo muttered something in his mouth, but before I heard it clearly, the tiger suddenly took out his gun, and Seventh Sister scolded, "What's going on?"

Tiger's head shook slightly: "I feel like someone touched me."

I looked behind the tiger. He was standing on the far left. Is there anyone behind him?I smiled and said, "Isn't it a ghost?"

The tiger said sullenly: "If it's a ghost, I'll catch you first, and I saved your life just now."

"Isn't this a joke? Brother Tiger has a strong physique and good skills. Even if a ghost comes, you can tear it apart." I said with a smile: "Not to mention there are guys."

The tiger coughed lightly, and took a step forward quietly. It might be that the mercenaries were so frightened. I was so happy in my heart, but before the end of the joy, Seventh Sister said coldly: " Let's go, look ahead."

This place is not a tomb, it is an open space, there is no other place to go if you don’t go forward, Lao Jiu and I followed behind them in a tacit understanding, looking around, there are earth walls in the front, back, left, and right, and the top of your head is no exception , the distance between left and right is at least 30 meters, and the distance between front and back is at least...

"50 meters." Lao Jiu said.

"No, I said it's 100 meters, do you want to gamble?" I said, "It's not a big one, just treat yourself to a big meal after you go out. The average price is more than [-] per person."

"Okay." Lao Jiu said cheerfully, suddenly put away his playful expression, and said softly: "Where is this place, Lin Tianyi, when did the ever-bright lanterns start to exist?"

"Very early, in China, it is very likely that it appeared in the Qin and Han Dynasties. There are many similar records. It is recorded in the historical records that there were ever-burning lanterns in the tomb of Qin Shihuang. Ever-burning lanterns were found in many tombs in the Ming Dynasty," I said: " Ancient Rome also had ever-burning lamps.

In 527 A.D., Syria was under the rule of the Eastern Roman Empire. At that time, Eastern Roman soldiers in Syria discovered that a lamp was lit in a niche in a pass. The lamp was covered by an exquisite cover, which seemed to be used for windproof.According to inscriptions found at the time, the lamp was lit in AD 27.When the soldiers found it, the lamp had been burning continuously for 500 years!Unfortunately, savage soldiers quickly destroyed it, and the workings of this mysterious lamp are no longer known.

A Greek historian once recorded a lamp burning on the door of the Egyptian Temple of the Sun.This lamp does not use any fuel, and it has been on for centuries, and it will not go out no matter it is windy or rainy.

There are two ways to say that the ever-burning light is on. One is that burning will consume oxygen, which will form a kind of protection for the closed ancient tomb, and the other is a manifestation of consciousness. The mausoleum after death is also called the yin house, and the king pays special attention to the mausoleum. As the residence after death, they also hope that the palace will be brightly lit like the palace before their death, so there is an ever-burning lamp.

The oxygen here is sufficient, and so many people can breathe normally, it must not be because of the former, if it is the latter, it is aimed at the king, everything here is not like the mausoleum of the king, what's the point of the ever-burning lamp?
When I was contemplating, the person in front suddenly shouted: "What?"

The tiger raised his hand, held the gun in his hand, and squatted halfway. This action made me believe that he might be a professional soldier. Meng Luo said suddenly: "Here we come..."

"What, what's coming?" I was taken aback.

At this moment, the people in front retreated one after another. They had guns but did not dare to fire casually. The reason was the thick fog that suddenly swept up in front of them. They circled and ran from the front like roaring beasts. A lot of ghosts and shadows came rushing along with the dense fog, and the Zhengyang Talisman on my chest became hotter and looked very disturbed. I quickly took out the cinnabar bullet and held it in my hand for emergencies.

The three people in front quickly retreated, Seventh Sister and Ah Qing turned and ran, while the tiger retreated, holding a gun in his hand, and was on alert. The thick fog behind him seemed to be chasing them. On this side, Meng Luo moved quickly. When I got up, the thunder pool formation formed by the blood light blade was already in place, and I immediately greeted the three of them: "Come in first!"

The three of them stood in without saying a word, and Meng Luo didn't stop. He had a very serious expression on his face. He kept taking out the yellow talisman, biting his fingers and placing it around. As soon as the yellow talisman fell down, it looked like it was stuck with glue. Sticking to the ground very tightly, Ah Qing shook his head from time to time: "Isn't this too evil?"

"The more evil ones are behind." Meng Luo said suddenly: "Remember, don't take a step out, and don't shoot, it's just a waste of bullets."

The thick fog caught up to the Thunder Pond and stopped, circling in place, circling back and forth, I was standing next to Seventh Sister, and I could clearly hear her swallowing, calm as if she was also caught by the sight in front of her. The situation was frightening, but they definitely didn't see the ghosts hidden in the dense fog, they just saw the thick fog that seemed to be alive, they rushed over, only to our calves, but those ghosts were above, It's like riding a thick fog, only Munro and I can see it, only us!
They are densely packed, and when you get close, you can see that they are lined up, very neatly lined up, a total of ten lines, and each ghost shadow is the size of a human being, tall or short, fat or thin, except that they can't see clearly. Clothes are in human form!

The ghost soldiers invaded and were temporarily blocked outside the city gate. This thought flashed through his mind, and Ah Qing who was beside him said, "Why is there such a thick fog, and it stops as soon as it is said, what's going on?"

I didn't have time to explain to him carefully, I looked at Munro: "What should I do?"

"Could it be the mass grave..." Meng Luo took a deep breath.

"What is a thousand-person tomb?" Seventh Sister suddenly understood: "You can see things we can't see, now all we can see is fog, what do you see?"

"Ghost soldiers." I said, "It looks like there are hundreds of people, at least a few hundred."

They are densely packed, the shadows in front can still be counted clearly, and the shadows behind are directly hidden in the darkness. Could it be that they extend all the time?If yes, that is thousands of quantities.

Munro took out a bottle: "One drop to the left eye each."

It was the legendary cow's tears. I found out afterwards that the bottle contained the tears of a scalper. After dripping into the left eye, you could see the ghost in front of you. Lao Jiu believed in Meng Luo and was the first to take it. He picked up the bottle and dripped it into his left eye, he blinked, and when he opened it again, he was really shocked: "Ge Laozi, there are so many!"

The three of the Seventh Sisters also finished dripping, and the bottle was still in the hands of the Seventh Sister. The Seventh Sister said in disbelief, "What about the navy, most of Master's autumn and winter clothes are made of the Navy. If the Master came here, how did he break through?" of these things?"
