Grave Robber: Beginnings Fusion Hydra Cypress

After arriving on the third floor, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.

The ceiling of the hall is covered with luminous ores, and the light emitted by the ores is brighter than the two floors below, comparable to fluorescent lights.

This light was originally soft white, but the surrounding windows were all covered with a layer of yellow paper. The white light reflected on the yellow paper turned into an orange color similar to firelight from the outside.

In front of the window facing the door, a rope stretched out from the ceiling, with a paper figure hanging from it.

The paper man is life-size, wearing ancient costumes, with a white face and red cheeks, grinning with his teeth bared, and his smile is very strange.

There seems to be a mechanism controlling the rope, pulling the paper man back and forth.

The paper figure floats around in mid-air, looking like a terrifying hanging ghost at first glance.

Yaomei was the most courageous among the people. She almost screamed and hurriedly hid behind Lin Shuangyue.

Wang Kaixuan covered his heart and cursed.

"What kind of evil spirit did this? He's just pretending to be a ghost. I'm so scared!"

Professor Sun was not afraid at all. He stepped forward and took a closer look, and his expression suddenly changed.

"This is a kind of southwestern evil magic, hanging the soul!"

This kind of witchcraft is spread in southwestern Hubei. It originated from the ancient witchcraft in the pre-Qin period and is similar to spiritualism.

The Ba people believe that the body is the home of the soul. They first used corpses to summon souls, that is, to use corpses to bring back souls, or to ask ghosts about good or bad luck, or to communicate with dead relatives and friends.

Later, this kind of witchcraft was banned by the court, but it was secretly passed down among the people, but it was changed to using paper figures to summon spirits.

When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with disdain.

"Isn't it just pretending to be a ghost? I thought this Feng Shigu was very capable, but it turns out he is just a charlatan."

Professor Sun shook his head seriously.

"This kind of evil magic has been passed down to this day. If it is just a quackery, how can it be passed down for thousands of years?"

When he was teaching in Wushan, he had witnessed local witches performing this kind of magic. As a knowledgeable professor of archeology, he could not see any flaws, so he always had awe of this ancient witchcraft. heart.

Wang Kaixuan saw that he was speaking solemnly, so he couldn't help but stepped forward to take a closer look, and his expression changed accordingly.

Although the facial features of the paper man were drawn with a brush, the eyes are vivid and the expression is lifelike.

Staring at the paper man at a close distance feels like being stared at by a living person!

"This paper man is really weird, it makes me feel bad."

"I'll burn it on fire!"

After saying that, he took out the lighter from his backpack and started to do it.

Professor Sun stopped him hastily.

"Don't be reckless. You can't burn this thing. If you burn it, you'll get bad luck and get into big trouble!"

When he was teaching in Wushan, he had a good relationship with the local people, and the villagers would invite him to attend weddings and weddings.

Once, he witnessed a strange soul-hanging ceremony with his own eyes.

After the ceremony was completed, the witch told the owner that the paper figurine must be hung behind the main door. After seven or forty-nine days, the incense table and three animals should be placed and worshiped and prayed before it can be sent away.

During this period, the paper figures must not be touched, otherwise disaster will come.

There was an ignorant young man who stole the paper figurine at night and planned to sell it in a candle shop in the city.

Early the next morning, before the young man had time to go to the city, the witch came to his door. In desperation, he burned the paper figure in the toilet and then denied it.

The witch couldn't do anything to him and said before leaving: "It's a pity that you are so young. Eat more good food these two days." After that, she left.

The young man thought the witch was scaring him and didn't take it to heart.

As a result, three days later, he lost his footing while crossing a bridge and drowned in the river.

But the strange thing is that the young man's water quality was very good, and the river water was not even up to his thighs. He actually failed to swim ashore and drowned in the river alive!

After people fished out his body, they found a pair of purple handprints on his ankles.

The witch said that it was the evil spirit in the paper man that dragged him into the river, held him down in the water, and drowned him!

Professor Sun said with a solemn expression.

"The resentful spirit in this paper man can only be sent away with a special ceremony, otherwise it will haunt you forever!"

After hearing this story, although Wang Kaixuan said he was not afraid, he was very honest and could not help but take a few steps back.

Yaomei is from Wushan and is very familiar with this kind of story, so her expression changed immediately.

"This thing is too unlucky, let's not..."

As a result, before she could finish her words, Ji Changsheng strode forward and ripped off the paper man.

When Professor Sun saw it, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and his face suddenly turned pale.

He was about to say something, but then he suddenly remembered that the man in front of him was a ghost fairy, and a mere resentful spirit was nothing compared to a ghost fairy!

Ji Changsheng looked down at the paper man and nodded in approval.

"This craftsmanship is indeed good, but it can be sold for a few dollars. No wonder some people have other ideas."

"But there are no evil spirits here, it's just a thing used to scare people."

As the incarnation of the Ghost King, if there were really ghosts and spirits in this attic, he would have come out and knelt down to greet them.

After throwing away the paper man, he looked up at the top of the rope.

Hu Ba looked at it and understood immediately.

"This paper man is used to scare people. The purpose is to keep people away. There must be something hidden on it!"

The one who made the paper man must be Feng Shigu, who lived hundreds of years ago. Most people at that time were very superstitious. In addition, the soul-hanging witchcraft was well-known in the southwest, so this paper man could indeed play a strong deterrent role.

It's a pity that he missed one point. Modern people hundreds of years later will not be easily scared.

Especially when he met Ji Changsheng, a weirdo, let alone a mere paper man, even a real evil ghost could not scare him.

This paper man mechanism was superfluous in front of him, and it was a case of trying to cover up one's own faults.

Ji Changsheng smiled lightly and stretched out his hand to grab in the air.

Dragon-catching skill!

A strong suction force came out from the palm of his hand, and a black object on the beam was sucked down and fell into his hand.

This is a black wooden box, only the size of a palm.

When he opened it, there was a yellowed booklet inside, which read "Viewing Mountains and Digging Treasures", and the author's signature was Feng Shigu.

Everyone gathered around in a hurry. Feng Shigu had gone to great lengths to hide this thing. It must contain confidential information!

The booklet only had a few dozen pages, and it was finished in less than half an hour.

The content inside was somewhat beyond people's expectations.

Professor Sun's eyes lit up, and he couldn't suppress his excitement, trembling all over as he spoke.

"The Corpse Immortal's Inner Pill is indeed real! It's just not quite what we imagined."

Hu Bayi, however, expressed doubts about the content of the booklet.

"Mr. Ji, I have a feeling that the content here is not real."

"It may be Feng Shigu's way of confusing people!"
