"do not move!"
I grabbed Xu Jinxiu and waved my other hand behind her to stop the people behind her.
Everyone suddenly didn't even dare to breathe loudly. They looked at me and then looked ahead.
The screams in front were intermittent, and it was Liu Bao's voice.
I squinted my eyes and looked forward, and saw the light spot in front of me shaking, getting brighter and closer.
Liu Bao turned his back to us in a strange posture, walking backwards and stumbling back.
Following his movements, the air in the tomb passage flowed, and I suddenly felt a slight prickling sensation on the skin on my face, as if it had been burned by something.
Liu Bao quickly arrived in front of him. He let out a scream that was not human-like, and kept pulling at his face with his hands, trying to push something away from his face.
He was still clutching the flashlight in his hand.
The lightning flashed wildly, illuminating everything in front of him. There was nothing there!
"It's over, Liu Bao is so 'shameless'!" Behind me, Liu Siyuan couldn't help but scream.
Xu Jinxiu turned to look at me, her face turned pale.
It was a very difficult time for her to start the pot. She had just stepped off the ground and she met a ghost within a few steps!
I frowned, disapproving.
But I didn't bother to explain. I dragged Xu Jinxiu behind me and stepped forward to block Liu Bao.
Although Liu Bao is strong, he is not tall.
I reached out and grabbed his shoulders, pulled and pushed him, turning him over to face me.
Then he picked up the flashlight and shined it directly into Liu Bao's eyes.
Before Liu Bao had time to react, his whole face was suddenly illuminated white, and several hideous bloodstains lay across the center of the face, scarlet and eye-catching!
"What is it?" Xu Jinxiu also saw it behind me and blurted out,
The tone was frightened, fearing that it was really a ghost scratching someone.
Then this trip will be dangerous.
I frowned and did not answer immediately. I just asked Liu Bao:
"Did you encounter anything in front?"
Liu Bao is not a softie. He seemed to be in pain just now. He came back to his senses after being shaken by me. He only breathed for a while and regained his composure.
"There are no ghost hairs." Liu Bao spat on the ground as he spoke, "As I walked, the road gradually disappeared, and suddenly my face felt like it had been scratched, and it was burning."
"Damn it, Yinfeng! Brother, have you been scratched by a ghost?" Liu Siyuan poked his head from behind me again, fanning the flames.
Liu Bao's face didn't look good at that time. He gasped in pain and glanced at me with his eyes.
"Chen Changyan, do you think this road can be walked or not? We all listen to you."
This is to provoke me with words, which means that this is the path you have chosen, and you have to be responsible for any problems.
Xu Jinxiu calmed down a little, looked at me with concern, and waited for me to give me an idea.
"Let's go, why can't we go? The entrance to the tomb is just ahead."
Seeing my firm tone, Xu Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief, but Liu Bao remained unmoved.
"How to go? How do you know the entrance to the tomb is right ahead?"
I shook my head and sneered: "Let me ask you, did you feel a gust of wind first and then get scratched?"
Liu Bao disagreed at first, and then after thinking about it, the expression on his face became a little loose.
He didn't speak, but I could see this series of changes in his expression.
When I saw Liu Bao returning, I already had a guess in my mind, and now it has been confirmed.
"There is no air circulation underground, so where does the wind come from? There must be a wide space in front, because the hole we opened creates convection with the air outside. What is that if it's not a tomb?"
After listening to my words, Xu Jinxiu's face became clear and she had completely calmed down, but she still asked: "But what's the matter with these scratches? Even if there is miasma in the tomb, it won't be so severe."
I nodded. Xu Jinxiu saw a lot of people. Even if he had never seen the tomb institutions in the north and south, he had heard about them. This guess was pretty close.
"Take it." I handed the flashlight to Xu Jinxiu and asked her to help hold it. Then I took out a lighter from my pocket, tore a piece of paper from my notebook, lit it, and held it in the air.
laugh--!
The paper burned quickly, emitting a bright yellow flame that instantly illuminated a small area of darkness.
I waved the paper gently, bringing it into contact with something floating in the air.
Sure enough, the flame seemed to ignite something, and many small sparks suddenly erupted around it, making a tiny crackling sound that was clearly audible in the silence!
The breathing of Liu Bao and others was stagnant, as if they suddenly didn't know whether to continue breathing.
"Poisonous spores. These are the spores of poisonous plants." The note burned to ashes in an instant. I shook my hand and took back the flashlight.
"It should have been brought out of the tomb by the wind when we opened the entrance to the tomb. It was mixed with miasma and blown away. It can eat through cowhide, let alone human skin." I glanced at Liu Bao.
Liu Bao's expression was dull for a moment, and Xu Jinxiu quickly asked him to find Da Lian. He grinned and asked her to treat the wound and disinfect it with alcohol.
"Fortunately, the concentration here is not high, so it's okay, but if we want to move forward, we must take some measures. It is easy for corpse gas to accumulate in this old tomb passage. Everyone, please put on your gas masks."
In the past, there were no protective measures. When going to the grave, you would take a sparrow with you and put it in a birdcage. When leaving, the bird would be in front and the person behind.
Birds have small lungs and are sensitive to poisons in the air, so they can detect something wrong before humans do. If the bird suddenly starts to make a fuss, the person should cover his mouth and nose with a wet cloth and continue walking; if the bird dies suddenly, he cannot move forward even half a step anyway, and the trip will be in vain.
But now that technology is advanced, there is no need for this method.
When going to the tomb just now, Dalian prepared gas masks among the personal equipment for everyone, just in case.
At this time, they listened to my instructions and quickly put them on.
After checking each other, we still followed the previous formation, with Liu Bao taking the lead, Cui Yong taking the rear, Xu Jinxiu, Dalian and Liu Siyuan in the middle, surrounding me, and everyone continued to move forward.
Behind the gas mask, without anyone seeing me, my expression became serious.
This tomb is really a bit evil.
It’s just a matter of choosing the right location. This is human nature.
Feng shui of tombs emphasizes "ten no burials", and there are many requirements for site selection. The more strategically located a tomb is, the more prominent the owner of the tomb may be, and the greater the "stuff" in the tomb.
But this poisonous spore shows a kind of sinister poison.
The eight hundred miles of Qinling Mountains are rich in species, but after all, they are still in the Central Plains. This tomb is located in Shanyin, which belongs to the north. There is no such plant with poisonous spores, and it is impossible for it to grow naturally in underground tombs.
The only explanation is that this is something artificially implanted.
The owner of the tomb placed this invisible, colorless, but extremely lethal thing in his tomb.
The purpose is very clear, which is to prevent theft.
We haven't even reached the main tomb chamber, and we haven't even seen the broken rocks. We have already seen the malicious intent of the tomb owner, and I'm afraid it's just a drop in the bucket.
I don’t know what more dangerous things are waiting ahead.
Although the three claw marks on Liu Bao's face were not scratched by ghosts, they were clearly the deceased's declaration to us uninvited guests:
Those who rob my tomb must die!
