"Would you like to light the lamp?"
"These everlasting lamps must have never been lit." I picked up the wick and looked at it, then smelled the lamp oil. "This thing is not lamp oil, it is fire dragon oil."
"Ah?" Lin Xiaoyu came over in surprise and hurriedly took a look. She leaned close to her nose and smelled it. "It smells so strange." She patted her chest, "I'm so lucky. Oh my god, luckily you discovered it!"
"The owner of this tomb is really guarding against thieves! He's guarding against everything."
Lin Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he took a step forward, something seemed to be kicked at his feet, and he rolled on the ground. She immediately stopped and looked at me, "I think I kicked something?"
I shined my flashlight in the direction of the sound and saw a fist-sized skeleton rolling down to the wall, "Pocket skeleton!"
There are some burial objects scattered around the wall, including a three-legged bronze turtle and two turtles. There is also a turtle that has been destroyed, and the short legs below are broken on the ground.
I picked up the pocket skull and looked at the skull carefully by the light of my flashlight. The entire skull structure is no different from that of an adult, but the eye sockets are more sunken, the teeth have not yet developed, and there is no vocal cavity in the throat. Even if they grow up, they will not be able to speak.
"Look." I called Lin Xiaoyu, "The entire head and neck were cut off with one knife. The incision on the neck bone was so smooth and flat."
Lin Xiaoyu was startled and said with a frightened look on her face: "I don't want to watch."
I waved the flashlight on the other side and said, "Look there."
There is a sarcophagus on top of the lotus tiles. The sarcophagus is square, simple and heavy, which is very different from most sarcophagi. There are some patterns carved on it using the dragon chisel method. They are not the commonly seen patterns of auspicious clouds, dragons and phoenixes. They are either monsters with fangs or monsters with towering manes.
"This sarcophagus is so strange." Lin Xiaoyu wanted to get closer and take a closer look, but I stopped her. She saw Lin Kun's face was a little stiff, and she couldn't help but shudder. Lin Kun stared at the coffin without saying a word. It hurt Lin Xiaoyu's hand, and he was obviously very nervous.
At this time, I could only hear a "rattling" sound inside the sarcophagus, like the sound of iron sheets scraping against the stone. It was persistent and weak, floating in the empty tomb.
"Zombie?" Lin Xiaoyu reacted instinctively.
Always maintaining a high level of vigilance, he slowly reached into his arms with his right hand, tugged hard on the chain hanging around his neck, took out a tiger fang, and held it tightly in his hand. This thing was given to me by my grandfather, saying it can ward off evil spirits. Lin Xiaoyu didn't know the depth, and calmly explored forward. The sound suddenly stopped.
Just when she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the coffin board suddenly turned up, and a gust of wind came towards her, making all the muscles in her body tremble. The sound became extremely violent, and along with this gust of wind, It made people break out in cold sweat.
That voice was now like a whetstone. Lin Xiaoyu couldn't avoid it, and was suddenly blinded by the wind. In desperation, I pulled her back, held her in my arms, and hid behind a pillar.
When she opened her eyes, she saw me looking at her, just like a cliche plot in a TV series. The actor's eyes were like ice crystals, clear and bright. At this moment, they seemed to be shining with the light of fire, so gentle. It can melt away all the chill in the world. Lin Xiaoyu felt a little embarrassed, and I hugged her a little tight. We could hear each other's heartbeat even if we were close together.
"you--"
"Oh, that - I didn't mean it - just now - I'm sorry!"
I apologized awkwardly and immediately let go of my embrace. Lin Xiaoyu smiled and said gratefully, "It's my turn to thank you." She glanced at me shyly, then quickly avoided my gaze, "I really don't know what's inside. !”
"Sha!"
"Evil? What is that?" Lin Xiaoyu glanced at the sarcophagus again and looked at me suspiciously.
"The evil exists by attachment and lives by devouring souls. It has no body, so how can it be placed in a coffin? Wouldn't it be banned?" I said to myself, "There is only one way to say it, and that is it. He was deliberately banned here and became a watchdog guarding someone else's tomb!"
Lin Xiaoyu frowned. She looked at my expression and asked worriedly: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
I shook my head and slowly opened my palms, "What do you think this is?"
As soon as Lin Xiaoyu saw Hu Benya, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Is this a tooth?"
"This is called Tiger Benya!" I nodded, "Let's see if the artificial one inside is more powerful or the wild one like mine!"
After saying that, I rushed out from behind the pillar. At the same time, a burst of black mist suddenly sprayed out from the sarcophagus, accompanied by bursts of roars. I saw the black mist slowly stop above the sarcophagus, and then suddenly rushed towards me.
Lin Xiaoyu also sweated for me, thinking: "He is too impulsive, what if..." But she immediately stopped her thoughts, "Bah, bah, bah, there is no such thing as a chance, Li Rui will be fine." of!"
The black mist was blocking my path, but I immediately braked and swung out my left hand. The black mist seemed to have encountered some kind of nemesis, and it all avoided my left hand. I quickly dispersed the black mist, and before they gathered together, I accelerated and rushed to the edge of the sarcophagus.
I pushed hard on the sarcophagus with one hand, jumped up, supported my body alone, completed a beautiful somersault in the air, and landed firmly on it. Under the hand holding the sarcophagus was a tiger's fang.
At this moment, the air seemed to be stagnant, and the black mist was frozen in place. Lin Xiaoyu held her breath and concentrated, and I did not dare to breathe loudly. I'm waiting for the outcome of this game. Only three or four seconds later, the sarcophagus under my feet began to shake violently, and then the entire coffin chamber also began to shake. I stood there nervously, waiting, and I would not give up until the end.
Sha struggled like a beast caught in a trap, and the black mist began to twist, as if it was disappearing into smoke, gradually disappearing in the air. The wind became so fierce that everything in the tomb was trembling, and the bronze vessels were even moved.
Lin Xiaoyu was worried that I was trying to rush out, but was suddenly trapped by the cold wind, and almost fell to the ground, so she had to shout: "Li Rui, are you okay?"
I didn't dare to be distracted at this time. I knew victory or defeat could be determined by just a thought. I stood firm and motionless, and the palm of my hand that was pressing on the ground was numb from the pain. The forbidden ring on my left hand began to flash purple. Finally, after I shouted, all the sounds stopped suddenly.
When I raised my hand, my whole arm was shaking.
Lin Xiaoyu was so shocked that cold sweat broke out on her face. When she saw that I was fine, the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground, and she ran over in a hurry. She saw that my arm was shaking and said distressedly: "What's going on? Does it hurt?"
"It hurts!" I was honest and took the opportunity to enjoy the girl's favor.
Lin Xiaoyu helped me shake my arms and pressed hard on the joints of my shoulders. The pain made me almost cry, "Ah, it hurts, it hurts so much!"
"I'll give you a massage, just bear with it and it'll be fine!"
"I'm afraid I'll die if I endure it!"
"No, it's very comfortable. This is my ancestral craft."
Lin Xiaoyu helped me pinch the muscles in my arms to relax them, and took some anti-swelling spray from my backpack. After a while, the soreness was almost gone.
"You really scared me to death just now." Lin Xiaoyu complained, "Do you know how worried I was just now!"
I looked into her eyes with a smile and asked, "How worried are you?" When Lin Xiaoyu looked at me, she looked like she was avoiding her, and her face suddenly turned red, "You're just worried!"
I hesitated to speak, smiled stupidly, and just said, "Let's go."
"We haven't even entered the main coffin room yet, and there is such a powerful character coming out. Do you think there will be something more powerful in the future?" Lin Xiaoyu asked as he walked.
"I don't know. Besides, this evil spirit isn't dead yet."
"not dead?"
"The evil spirit turned into a black mist. Even if it is dispersed, it may not be able to destroy it, so it is safer to use the tiger's fangs to suppress it."
"ah?"
"That thing didn't do anything bad by being sealed in the sarcophagus. Why should I kill it? If it knew how to be powerful, it would obediently return to the sarcophagus. It would save us trouble, wouldn't it?"
Lin Xiaoyu sighed and shook her head, "I really don't know what you are thinking."
We followed the tomb passage and walked into a small stone chamber. Two stone steps appeared on both sides of the stone chamber, leading to the next level of the underground palace. Both sides of the tomb passage are much better than when you first entered, with exquisite portrait bricks and sculptures that are lifelike. Lin Xiaoyu was keenly aware of the problem as soon as she entered the small stone room, "Li Rui, what do the two stone steps on the left and right mean?"
"I don't know, it's the first time I've seen him."
I carefully studied the inscriptions on the front wall of the stone chamber, which covered the whole wall, like an epitaph. Lin Xiaoyu looked up and down with a flashlight, but couldn't see why, "Do you know these words?"
"These strange characters are very similar to the characters of the Yi people, but I don't understand them and I'm confused."
"Then which way do we go?"
"Which side do you think it might be in the end?"
Lin Xiaoyu thought for a while and guessed at an answer. She pointed to the right, "I think it's here?"
"Okay, then go left!"
After saying that, he went down the stone steps on the left without looking back. Lin Xiaoyu finally came to his senses, "Hey, what do you mean? Please tell me clearly. It's so irritating!"
We walked very carefully, and we had to think carefully before taking every step. We borrowed the flashlights from the soldier's mother. They are for emergency use at ordinary people's homes. They are not very useful in the dark tomb. The light is always invisible before it shines very far. After walking for about ten minutes, the stone steps were finished, and there was already flat land in front of them.
"Hey, do you think we went wrong?"
