Shark Candle

Wu Xie, who accidentally triggered the mechanism, and the black glasses who jumped down with him both disappeared, and his life and death were uncertain, leaving only the third uncle and Zhang Qiling and his party.Zhang Qiling listened to what Wu Sansheng and the others had said, and without saying a word, he half-kneeled on the ground, touched the place where Wu Xie disappeared with his fingers, let loose his hair, and traced a round arc, half covering the eyes that seemed to be haze and some kind Never to be reconciled, if you take a closer look, you will see nothing but calmness, like an illusion.Standing up silently, carrying the black gold ancient knife on his back, he walked towards the newly opened tomb passage. He walked in silence, but he seemed to have an incomparable aura that split the air. Even the fat man who kept complaining seemed to be shocked by his aura. Shut up, and everyone quietly followed him into the darkness, silent.

In the long tomb passage, the dark and decaying atmosphere seems to spread ominously, entangled in everyone's heart like a spider web, with a feeling of suffocation.Zhang Qiling walked in front of the road with a blank expression, but his figure blended into the darkness like a ghost, without making a sound. If it wasn't for the flash of a wolf-eyed flashlight in his hand, the people behind him would have realized that he really existed.It was rare for the fat man to walk with Lin Sen at the end with a serious expression, guarding against any possible danger.The team moved forward slowly, and the flashlight licked the wall and the top of the tomb passage inch by inch. It was still similar to the tomb passage at the beginning, but a few simple lines outlined magnificent battle scenes. Slashing and fighting seemed to be able to Feel the blood and cruelty of that era.This tomb passage seemed to have no end, and it was a long, long walk, with constant turns and corners, retreat and deviation, enough to make ordinary people lose patience and retreat farther away.And they just walked in silence, as if they firmly believed that they would find the exit soon.

Going down, down, down...

The end ends at the entrance of a space, dark and deep.The whole team entered cautiously, scanning vigilantly with the flashlight to explore the unknown space, this time luck seemed to be good, there were a few things like candlesticks hanging on the wall. "There shouldn't be any danger. I'll go and see if there are any candlesticks that can be lit." After the fat man finished speaking, he ran over and tiptoed to check, his hands kept moving, and he took out the lighter from his backpack, trying to light it.

"Don't move!" Zhang Qiling softly stopped the fat man, "wax oil."

"Wax oil? You mean that there might be something wrong with the wax oil, right? Could it be that the owner of the tomb is so shameful that he doesn't let the candle go? There are traps everywhere, and there are traps everywhere. This is absolutely showing off!" The fat man shook his body. God fat, said with a dry smile, "Why don't you show your might, little brother, come over and see what is the mystery of the wax oil in this candlestick?!"

Zhang Qiling stood in front of the candlestick, with a paralyzed face like an iceberg, ignored the fat man's nonsense, and just looked at the candlestick carefully.It is made of bronze, and the carved patterns are quite delicate. The candlestick is relatively small overall, half-mounted on the wall, and there are only a few bluish-black things left in the small groove, and the short wick has also turned black.After pausing for a while, he stretched out his unusually long index finger to scrape, dipped his fingertip in some wax oil, placed it on the tip of his nose and carefully smelled it, closing his eyes as if he was analyzing whether there was something like drug or poison.After a long time, Zhang Qiling opened his eyes, calm and said, "This is no problem", then checked the rest one by one, and then signaled the fat man to turn on the lamp.

The dark orange light burned faintly, reflecting the shadows of a group of people constantly swaying and shaking on the wall, overlapping each other, creating a weird illusion.Everyone looked at this space carefully. It was not a big circle, and there were three identical tomb passages. The beam of light from the flashlight shot into it, and it was eaten away before it was long. It was deep and bottomless.There are no patterns or hints at the entrance, so it looks familiar.

"Damn, I said, why does it look so familiar? Could this be the place when we first came in?! Could it be that we went back again?! No! There is no candle in that space, it is not the same. You say this Is the owner of the tomb out of his mind? What's the point of doing these same things all day long! Who are you fooling around!" The fat man said angrily, with an expression that looked like he was going to whip the tomb owner's coffin corpse.

"It's not right, we may have been in the formation designed by the tomb owner when we first came in, the space before us, and this place now, there should be more than one in this tomb, and the tomb where Xiaoxie disappeared , is also very strange, especially the stone platform, it seems that there is some mystery hidden. I guess no matter which tomb passage I chose before, as long as I choose it, I will enter the battle. I just don’t know if the other two will be like this one. "Wu Sansheng frowned and said, "The most important thing now is to know what kind of formation this is, and which tomb path to choose to continue walking."

"Wait, Xiaoxie seemed to say something to me before he disappeared. Could it be that he found something?" Wu Sansheng carefully recalled the scene at that time. When I looked at him, he seemed to... "The mural is the mural on the wall , it seems to be drawing something, it seems to be..."

"Oh, what is it, third master, can you stop my appetite! What is on that mural!" The fat man urged rather anxiously, his face full of anticipation.

"The color of the mural is too close to the wall, it's hard to tell what it's painted on, don't shout, I'll think about it again." Wu Sanxing glanced at the fat man, looking at the dark tomb passage, half lit by the dim candlelight behind him. One face, the other half is hidden in the darkness, looking at it in a trance, there is a shocking illusion. "That's right, fat man, shut your mouth and let the third master think about it. You said why didn't you look at what was on the wall at that time, and you just played tricks here." Pan Zi warned with a loyal face. Looking at Fatty.

"Didn't the fat man see your third master studying that thing at that time! Besides, who wouldn't admire the third master's eyesight?! I just went to see it. Besides, I'm not naive and careful, and I didn't see any signs on the wall. What?" The fat man muttered a few words before closing his mouth and waiting quietly.

"There are several human figures on the mural, and there is something in front of them, it seems to be five?"

"Five, five, five...?" Wu Sansheng was startled, "There are exactly five grooves on the stone platform, corresponding one by one? Could it be the five elements? There are many sayings about the five elements here. Brother Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Qiling didn't speak, just shook his head silently, staring at the three tomb passages, wondering what he was thinking.A group of people stopped talking, and the entire space was silent, only the flickering candlelight reflected the faces of the people, and the wick occasionally burst and made a subtle crackling sound.

After a long time, Wu Sansheng said, "Could it be that? I'm not sure. This seems to be the 'Qujuehuang Formation'? If it is true, then this tomb is not only from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, it may be even earlier! Brother Zhang ,did you mean?"

"Ah."

"Third Master, what is 'Qujuehuang Formation'? Can you tell us no."

"There is an ancient book in my collection. It is said that it was found from a Han Dynasty tomb, and then it came to me after changing hands. I flipped through it in my spare time, but I didn't expect to find a treasure. There are many strange and strange things recorded on it. , There are also some sayings such as Feng Shui formation, which happened to be mentioned in the above article.

"Use people as sacrifices to form the five elements, and take their corresponding blood, sacrifice and refine them with secret methods, and finally form a strange thing; use this as a point in the tomb, and connect it with the tomb passage; according to the style of Jiugong and Eight Diagrams, there is no straight line in the tomb passage. , all the wonders of good fortune, all the secrets of the gods, hidden mysteries, endless chains, intricate, overlapping, interspersed and interactive, all kinds of forks and dead ends are countless; a piece of the back is missing, maybe it is the purpose of the formation, At the end, it says that once a person enters, unless he finds the gate of life, he can only be trapped in the formation. In my opinion, after all, the word "huang" cannot be crowned by any formation. Array', there must be something magical about it, we have to be careful."

"Choose a path to the tomb now, this time...how about going to the right, brother Zhang?" There was silence in response to him, "Let's go."

This time the tomb passage seems to be not so safe, there are more forks in the road, not only there are traps, but also...

As soon as the group of people passed the shooting area, they felt that the air seemed to become a little more humid, and there seemed to be a faint cry of a baby floating over, faintly, very strange.

"Are you kidding? How could there be a baby's voice! You say this is—" Before he could finish speaking, a black shadow sprang out from behind, and jumped on the fat man very quickly, with his mouth wide open and a sharp white expression A cold light flashed across his teeth, and he bit his left arm fiercely, one after another, several more rushed towards the crowd. The fat man who reacted grabbed the dagger and stabbed it hard into the thing's head, forcing it to let go , violently flung it to the side, the thing flipped a few times in the air, and landed firmly on the ground, its two eyes were like burning will-o'-the-wisps, shining with a faint green light, and it confronted the fat man fiercely, as if Look for opportunities to attack again.When the first black shadow came out, the others prepared for it. In this kind of tomb passage, it is unrealistic to use guns. The flying bullets are very likely to hurt their companions, so they can only deal with them with cold weapons. they.

That thing's ability to bounce is very good, two of them went straight to Zhang Qiling, holding the black gold ancient knife in his hand, jumped up, half turned, kicked sideways, and threw out beautiful knife flowers, continuously drawing arcs in the air, with lightning speed Deception solves those two things.The remaining two were also dealt with by Lin Sen and Pan Zi, but the two were not as fast and skillful as Zhang Qiling, so they couldn't help but suffer a lot, their clothes were torn in many places, and they were a little embarrassed.

The fat man was dealing with his own wound, and squatting next to one of the corpses, he was speechless, "What is this, it looks too strange."

If you look closely, this thing has a human-like face on its head. Although the facial features are blurred, you can still distinguish it. There are sharp teeth in the open mouth, and the canine teeth are still stained with bright red blood. The thick and long neck , although the body is like a sheep's body, the limbs are not ordinary sheep's hooves, but like human hands, but the nails are very hard and sharp, and the body is covered with tiny scales. The fur was also stuck together, a very ugly and weird creature.

"This is the 'roe owl'." "Shan Hai Jing · Bei Shan Jing" has a cloud: "The mountain of the hook, there is a beast, its shape is like a sheep's body and a human face, its eyes are in the armpit, tiger teeth and human claws, its sound Like a baby, it is called a roe owl, and it is a cannibal."

"It's really lucky for us to encounter such legendary things." Wu Sanxing smiled wryly, "Don't look at it now, I don't know if there are any such things in this tomb, first drag the corpse Go to the wall, hurry up, I don’t know what’s ahead.”
