Maoshan ghost hunter

Miao Xin said: "This seems to be a tradition of the Bon religion. It is believed that gemstones are used to open the eyes of the gods, and the gods can communicate with spirits and bless the worshipers. But it is said that this is just a branch of the Bon religion. This branch lives in the Western Regions It is easy to find this kind of crystal clear stone in the city. When it is illuminated by light in a dark place, it is like an eye. There is no such stone in other places, so the believers do not have this habit. Adapt measures to local conditions."

Ye Shaoyang couldn't help being very surprised when she heard her say so in one breath, and wanted to ask her why she knew so much, but was afraid of being ridiculed, so he swallowed the question back and asked Miaoxin: "Didn't you say that this is the Southern Song Dynasty?" Is it the tomb of the descendants of the royal family? Why is it related to the Bon religion again?"

"I don't know about this either, I just have to go down and have a look."

A group of people continued to walk down the tomb passage, and there was a turn ahead. The tomb passage turned to the right and continued down.Ye Shaoyang walked in the front with a three-color lotus lamp on his forehead, and was about to step down when Miaoxin suddenly pulled him up.Ye Shaoyang turned his head to look, but found that she was staring at the statue on the wall in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Someone asked.

Miao Xin pointed to the statue's face and said, "This statue's smile is so scary."

It was only then that everyone noticed the face of the statue. Indeed, the corners of the mouth of this statue with four arms and eight hands were raised upwards, its head was slightly lowered, and its eyes were very gloomy.Looking at it like this, there is a feeling that the people on the statue are looking at them and sneering.

This smile made everyone present feel very uncomfortable.

"It's the first time I've seen such a funny statue..." Miao Xin murmured, even though she was well-informed, she had never seen a statue like this before: most of the statues were There are expressionless ones, majestic ones, kindly ones, and vicious ones, but I've never seen anyone who can laugh.

Everyone also looked at each other in blank dismay.

Ye Shaoyang remembered that he had seen similar statues before, and wanted to go back to have a look, so he went back with the three-color lotus lantern and took photos of the statues one by one. When he saw the first one, he was stunned. Then I thought of something, and hurried to another statue, stunned for a while, walked to the front of the third statue, looked at it for a while, then stopped, stared blankly at the sculpture in front of me, and said in a voice: "How could this happen?" ah."

"What's the matter, I'm just talking about it." Everyone was curious, and they swarmed towards him, followed his gaze, and looked at the statue in front of them. They didn't notice anything for a while, and asked Ye Shaoyang what's wrong .

Ye Shaoyang lifted the three-color lotus lantern in front of the statue, took a breath and said, "Look!"

Everyone took advantage of the firelight to observe carefully, and Wutong was the first to call out: "This statue is laughing!"

That's right, the statue in front of me is the same as the statue with four arms and eight hands that I saw before, with a faint smile on the corner of the mouth, coupled with the two piercing eyes, it looks straight into the heart Faint.

"What's going on?" Chen Xiaoyu exclaimed, "I didn't seem to see this sculpture smiling before, it seemed to have a serious face, what do you think?"

Everyone couldn't remember clearly. They looked at each other and didn't dare to jump to conclusions. Only Ye Shaoyang was like a mirror, and he didn't say anything. He just led them back and forth. Every time he met a statue, the lotus lantern in his hand would shine on his face. past.

When they visited the third statue, everyone present understood what Ye Shaoyang told them to look at: these statues, no matter whether they had serious expressions or fierce expressions before, now they only have one expression: they are all smiling.

All the idols are looking at them and laughing.There was some sarcasm and sarcasm in this smile, as if they were laughing at their inability to see through the truth behind it.

This can no longer be a coincidence...

Everyone looked at each other, speechless.

"How could this be? These statues are not alive!" Lu Xiaoqing lost his voice.

"I don't believe in this evil!" Chen Xiaoyu whistled, and ordered his ghost-faced monkey to climb up the face of a sculpture and pick off the two glowing stones embedded in the eyes.

Miao Xin felt that something was wrong, and it was too late when she wanted to stop it: the two gemstones were picked out, and within five seconds, a red liquid spewed out of the two blind eye sockets. There were two lines of blood and tears streaming down his cheeks.

Everyone was stunned for a while, and hurriedly backed away. Looking carefully, the "blood and tears" flowed down the statue and piled up on the ground.

Everyone took a closer look, only to find that the red substance was not a liquid, but tiny particles like quicksand, which flowed continuously from the eyes of the statue, and quickly piled up in high piles on the ground.

Miao Xin reprimanded everyone to back off, picked out some talisman paper by herself, sniffed it close to her nose, and said, "Arsenosha, it's okay, it's a way to prevent tomb thieves."

It is too common to use things like arsenopyrite in tombs to deal with tomb robbers.

2172 Hanging soul ladder 2

This Ye Shaoyang also knows a little bit. The so-called arsenopyrite is to stir the sand with the venom, and then fry it in a pot to make the venom completely adhere to the sand. In this way, as long as the sand is still there, the toxicity is still there. Those who make arsenopyrite are irritating and chronic poisons. If they come into contact with the human body and skin, the skin will slowly fester and cause death...

The reason why the arsenopyrite was chosen to guard the tomb is because the arsenopyrite can be preserved for a long time. As long as the mechanism is not broken, the toxicity will still exist after a thousand years. There is another important reason: after the arsenopyrite flows out, it will continue to accumulate and eventually block the tomb passage. To get out, one had to crawl out of the arsenopyrite, and by the time someone crawled out, the whole body would have festered to the point where only skin and bones remained.

The arsenopyrite flowed down, because the location was open, the exit was finally not blocked, but spread out to the surroundings. After waiting for about half a minute, the arsenopyrite no longer flowed out from the sculpture.

"How do we go back here?" Mao Xiaofang looked at the tomb in front of him. Now it seems that there is an extra sandy beach about ten meters long. People can't walk over the eaves and walls of the ten-meter-long sandpit...

"It's all you, what are you touching!" Miao Xin scolded Chen Xiaoyu.

Chen Xiaoyu blushed, unable to refute, scratched his head and thought for a while, and said, "It doesn't seem too much trouble, we will come out from below later, find something to pad on it, and just barely cross over. Leave it to me."

Having said that, Miao Xin didn't say anything, the main thing was that the matter had already happened, no matter what he did, it would be of no avail.

After a brief discussion, everyone decided to continue to investigate the tomb. As for why these statues turned into smiling faces, since I don't know why, I'd better not think about it for the time being.

There is a folk saying: Don't be surprised when you see the strange, the strange will defeat itself.It also makes sense to put it on supernatural events.

Evil things are ever-changing, and strange things are inextricably linked. For a while, mages can't figure out the truth behind some things, especially in such a closed environment, they can only be blocked by soldiers. Prepare first and continue to do your own things , let the evil spirit jump out by itself...

In the final analysis, this is actually an expression of self-confidence. Taking the current situation as an example, if it is an ordinary tomb robber or even a mage with average mana, once he encounters the current situation, he probably would not dare to go any further. Either find a way to leave, or find out the secret behind the smiles of these gods, or never dare to rush to the tomb again.

But for this group of people, it doesn't matter because they are bold.

Ye Shaoyang walked in the front with a three-color lotus lantern, illuminating the tomb passage. After walking around the corner and going all the way down, there were no longer those weird statues on both sides of the tomb passage, and without those staring eyes, everyone felt much more comfortable , So I walked all the way, not far ahead, it was a [-]-degree right-angle turn, after passing, it was another such turn not far away.

We walked all the way, and we didn't know how many times we turned such a turn, and we felt more and more wrong: Why is this turn endless?Ye Shaoyang was even more puzzled. Is this an ancient tomb or a fire escape in his own neighborhood?

"No, we seem to have walked here before." Mao Xiaofang suddenly stopped, looked around, and said wonderingly.

Ye Shaoyang's heart skipped a beat. Looking left and right, the tomb passage was three to four meters high, and there were no decorations on the top or around it. It looked plain and there were no features to remember.

However, it is not only Mao Xiaofang who has the feeling of revisiting his hometown, almost everyone has it.

Miao Xin kept silent, took out a handful of copper coins, and kept dropping copper coins as she walked down. After turning a few turns again, Miao Xin was stunned when she hadn't finished throwing out the copper coins:

Not far ahead, on a step, there is the copper coin that he just sprinkled.

Miao Xin took a deep breath, and murmured three words: "Hanging soul ladder."

Ye Shaoyang gasped, the word "hanging soul ladder" was no stranger to him: it was a mysterious phenomenon that occasionally appeared in the tomb, a staircase, after turning four turns, it still returned to the original point.In other words, if you keep walking, the stairs will never end...

Ye Shaoyang encountered this kind of thing when he went to the tomb with Sibao and the others. Later, Ye Shaoyang searched the Internet for information and knew that the hanging soul ladder is not a Chinese patent. There is a very special one in foreign countries. The name is called "Penrose Staircase". This mysterious staircase also appeared in the movie "Inception":

The stairs keep going down, turning three times, and returning to the original point at the fourth turn... This is of course a paradox. In the West, scientists have been studying the Penrose stairs. from inspection.

In China, this kind of so-called stairs almost always appear in ancient tombs. They are usually built by taking advantage of the special terrain of ancient tombs. There are two types of hanging soul ladders. The strange circle that goes out, no matter which direction you go, you will always return in the end.However, this hanging soul ladder has no meaning and can only be used to confuse people. Generally, there are various traps ambushing on this tomb passage, so that when people are trapped in the hanging soul ladder and fumble around, the traps will be triggered and die...

There is also a hanging soul ladder, which is not a real hanging soul ladder, but uses the terrain to create a formation, and then uses supernatural factors to affect people's judgment. To put it bluntly, it is a kind of blindfold.

It sounds amazing, but to be honest, it is just an enhanced version of ghost hitting the wall, which makes people think that the road is ahead, but turns around and returns to the original point, but in the eyes of people walking, it is really a straight road...

This kind of hanging soul ladder relies on the blessing of supernatural power and the control of the formation, so there must be a formation eye shrinking in. As long as the formation eye is found, the formation will be broken by itself.

The easiest way to break the Hanging Soul Ladder is to lift a rooster, cut its throat, carry it upside down and walk all the way to the place where there was blood in front of it, turn around and walk back at the encircled place , walk around again, you can break out of this formation.

However, Ye Shaoyang's gang relied on their strength, and they didn't have much preparation in advance, and there was no place to find a rooster for a while.

There are other ways, of course, but they all need magic medicine that can be consumed continuously to break the formation. Ye Shaoyang began to think about what magic medicine to try.
