Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

The three of them flashlighted and walked in the dark tunnel in an orderly manner. The damp and rotten atmosphere permeated the surroundings, and no one dared to be careless.Team Huang, as the team leader, took the initiative to ask someone to open the way ahead, and after Li Qiu stopped, Ms. Wei walked in the middle.

As they were walking, Ms. Wei in the middle suddenly turned her head.Li Qiu who was behind was staring at the road under her feet, she stopped so suddenly that they almost bumped into each other.

"Your name is Li Qiu."

"Yes, yes, my name is Li Qiu."

Ms. Wei didn't say anything, and continued to walk forward. After waiting for a long time, Li Qiu didn't see anything else, so she took the initiative to walk side by side with her, "Do you want to say something to me?"

Ms. Wei glanced at him and said softly, "Do you know where we are going now?"

Li Qiu shook his head cooperatively, looking full of curiosity.

"It's the tomb passage of the Buddha's tomb in this mountain." Ms. Wei stared at Team Huang in front of her, gritted her teeth slightly, "This man surnamed Huang is leading us deep into the mountain."

"Perhaps, but the pothole just now is so high that none of the three of us can climb up, and there are wild men guarding the entrance of the cave. Let's go deeper, and maybe with luck we can find another way out. As for the Buddha you mentioned Tombs and so on, if we meet, we will stick a stick of incense and pay respects, as long as we don’t touch it.”

Ms. Wei's eyes swept over him again, staring at him complicatedly, as if to distinguish the truth of Li Qiu's naive remarks.

"It's Miss Wei," Li Qiu smiled, "How did you know we were walking towards the Buddha's tomb?"

Who knows that Ms. Wei did not hide it, and admitted openly: "I am a Buddhist scholar like my husband. Although we are not locals, we have studied the Longmen Grottoes for many years. There is an unknown Buddha burial tomb. This time I joined the donkey team, I just wanted to take the opportunity of traveling to observe the Buddha statues, but who knew that there was a guy in the team who took the initiative to bring up the clues of the Buddha burial tomb."

Li Qiu subconsciously looked at the yellow team who was walking in the front. That's right, the clues about the Buddha's burial tomb all started from that piece of Buddha jade, from the knee of the flooded Buddha. From the very beginning, the yellow team was the last one. Doubtful people.

"Not to mention that Buddha's tomb... I can't go there."

Li Qiu walked two steps faster, and continued to listen to Ms. Wei's next words: "Among the historical sites and materials we checked, there are very few descriptions about the contents of the Buddha's tomb, but the most are the legends of 'retribution' and 'scourge', although Entering the tomb of a stranger is a big taboo, but the tomb of the Buddha is especially untouchable."

"Then... what did you find out about this Longmen Buddha's burial tomb?"

Ms. Wei closed her eyes and said heavily, "A curse, a curse of mortal death."

The three of them walked for more than an hour, and the yellow team called to stop.

"We seem to have lost our way." The yellow team picked up the flashlight and illuminated a brick in the tomb passage ahead, which was the mark he had placed earlier.

"What's going on, we walked for a long time and returned to the original point?"

Captain Huang nodded regretfully.

Li Qiu is more optimistic, "If there is no way ahead, let's go back to the pothole at the beginning and wait in the hole. Someone will find us when the sun rises."

This method sounds safer, the three of them separated slightly, looking for the initial pothole.Taking advantage of this gap, Li Qiu finally had the opportunity to study the solid tomb passage carefully. The two walls of the tomb passage are covered with thick layers of loess, but the inside is dry and hard, as if wrapped in extremely thick stone materials. It can be called a building of conscience throughout the ages. .

Li Qiu fumbled around the tomb passage, and pulled out a long folding steel needle from his sleeve, which was delicate and sharp, with a cold light.Li Qiu inserted a long needle into the earth wall, measured the thickness, and then pulled it out. About five or six holes were inserted in this way, and the wall suddenly moved slightly, and an unremarkable soft stone popped out.Li Qiu smiled with an epiphany, put away the long needle, and left as if nothing happened.

I don't know Ah Jiu, what's going on alone now... This thought only popped up for a moment, but was suppressed by Li Qiu's self-deprecating.That guy, even if he loses his memory, he's still a demon king who can't be offended. There's no need for me to worry here. Anyone who meets him will be considered really unlucky.

The three of them searched like this for ten minutes, and gradually realized that something was wrong. The surrounding roads extend in all directions, obviously different from when they first came in, and the pothole that Li Qiu fell into could not be found no matter what.

The yellow team has the most experience in wilderness survival. At least in this case, no one questioned the road signs he made earlier.Captain Huang took out a cigarette from his pocket, stuffed it into his mouth, but didn't light it, "Damn it, it looks like we've met a ghost hitting a wall, I'm afraid there's something dirty in this road."

No one raised any objections. Losing their way in the underground tomb, ghosts hitting the wall should be the most reasonable explanation.

Ms. Wei brushed her hair back, sat down on the spot, and didn't plan to move any more as if resigned to her fate.Li Qiu looked at her, then at Captain Huang, trying to relieve the dull atmosphere: "I heard from the old man at home that ghosts are responsible for hitting the wall. As long as we have something that suppresses evil, we can overcome it by a gram. That dirty thing."

Huang Dui sighed, "You're so easy to say, where do we go to find things to ward off evil in this kind of place, let alone go camping, who would bring those useless burdens."

Hearing this, Ms. Wei on the ground gave a sneer smile, and a strong sense of irony pervaded.

Captain Huang frowned, "Miss Wei, what are you laughing at?"

Li Qiu didn't expect Huang Dui to ask such a question, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Huang Dui, we have a ready-made treasure for suppressing evil - isn't the Buddhist jade you took tonight?"

Captain Huang was taken aback, a strange look flashed across his face, and he reached out to touch his pocket.However, before Li Qiu approached, Huang Dui suddenly jumped up: "It's gone! My buddha jade is gone! It was still on me when I fell!"

His sudden movement startled the two of them, because in the next second, Captain Huang glared at Ms. Wei—the person he had suspected from the beginning. "Is it you! First you pretended to be a savage and attacked me from above, and then fell into the cave with me, taking the opportunity to steal my Buddhist jade!"

Ms. Wei frowned, but before she could say anything, Captain Huang rushed towards her.The space in the tomb passage was already narrow, so he made a sudden pounce, even Li Qiu, who was a few meters away, was in no hurry to rescue him.Unexpectedly, Ms. Wei's figure moved flexibly, her arms folded unbelievably, and she pressed the thick old man Huang Dui on the graveway with her backhand, and stepped on his back with one foot.

This series of actions is coercive and forceful, how can it still be a weak and helpless female teacher?

"Stop playing thief and calling catch thief, Captain Huang, I think you are the most suspicious of the three of us!"

At this moment, Captain Huang and Ms. Wei were completely on the same page. Li Qiu just wanted to speak, but then he closed his mouth. Ms. Wei took out a sharp knife and pressed it coldly against the back of Captain Huang's neck. His posture is professional and sophisticated, I'm afraid this seemingly virtuous and harmless female teacher is a real practitioner.Team Huang's face was pressed against the grave, cursing indistinctly, his eyes were red with anxiety, obviously losing his mind.

After a while, Huang Dui kicked back and broke free from the dagger, and turned around to fight with Ms. Wei again.

Li Qiu could not advance or retreat, knowing that no matter what he said right now, he would not be able to calm these two people down easily, unless—"Well, I am actually the real murderer. Stop fighting, both of you, and look at me. I am the one for you." The thief in the mouth."

It's a pity that Li Qiu's sincere cry didn't get any response, the two of them fought more and more fiercely, and they fought farther and farther, neither of them had the intention of stopping.

Team Huang staggered from being beaten, and instinctively stretched out his hand to support the wall next to him. Li Qiu's heart broke, and the mechanism stone he found on the wall was nearby. Whether it was intentional or not, the next second, Team Huang stood firm. Really pushed the stone down.

Suddenly, the sound of "rumbling" mechanism came from all directions, and the tomb passage under the three people's feet tilted instantly, pushing them down the tomb passage like falling beans.

At the end of the tomb passage is a pool of turbid and cold groundwater.

Team Huang and Ms. Wei fell into the water one after another. Li Qiu was the last one to slip out of the tomb passage and jumped with a quicker reaction, but unfortunately one of his legs still stepped into the pool.

With the cold pool water pouring over their heads, Captain Huang and Ms. Wei finally calmed down, panting heavily and staring at each other. Although they stopped moving their hands, the hostility had not been completely eliminated.

Li Qiu took Team Yellow's flashlight to illuminate the environment of the pool, making sure that it was out of the range of the ghost wall, then pulled out a thin shirt from his backpack, and put it on Ms. Wei's body.In summer, women don't wear much clothes, so it will inevitably be a little embarrassing when they get wet.As expected, his gentlemanly behavior won Ms. Wei's goodwill. The two stood close, and suddenly there was a delicate atmosphere of facing the yellow team with the same hatred.

Team Huang's eyes were red, and he said rudely, "Hey boy, in this situation, who do you trust, me or this woman."

Li Qiu looked awkwardly at Ms. Wei beside him, and smiled, "Can I have a third choice? If I have to trust someone, I can only trust my 'brother'."

Ms. Wei looked at him puzzled, but Huang Dui understood the meaning of the words and was very dissatisfied: "Your brother is not here now, it is useless to talk in plain language. Now my Buddha jade is gone, most likely it is here On a woman, if you cooperate with me to search this woman, you will know if it is true or not!"

Ms. Wei didn't dodge, instead she sneered and said, "So what if you find it, can you leave here with the Buddha Jade? Open your eyes and take a good look—what is this pond under our feet!"

When the light of the flashlight entered the water, Li Qiu took a step back, because he saw an extremely frightening scene - the water in the pool was chaotic and dirty, exuding a strange green luster, and at the bottom of the pool, there was a huge blood-colored relief .Ugly faces are vividly carved on the relief, resembling humans and beasts, ferocious and terrifying, as if they will break out of the pool at any time.

The entire pool is actually engraved with a terrifying picture of karmic fire and purgatory.

I heard Ms. Wei say word by word: "Zhen, Mo, Chi!"

It is rumored that in ancient geomantic omen places, a magic pool was often set up at the Qi gathering place, and the Taoist monks prayed for 49 days, symbolizing the suppression of evil spirits and demons.What's more, the relics of the supreme monks are enshrined on the demon-suppressing pool, and the Buddha's power is used to suppress evil spirits.

Ms. Wei raised her head, and there was a seven-petaled lotus hanging above the pool. The lotus seals off evil spirits, expressing the same meaning.

Team Huang's eyes were shaken violently, but only for a moment, and soon he said stiffly: "What, so what! Go to the goddamn demon pool, labor and capital have entered, it can still eat us!? "

Ms. Wei didn't talk to him any more, and she shone a flashlight into the water, and Li Qiu also looked at it. In the muddy and swaying pool water, there seemed to be a line of clear stone characters engraved - the place where ghosts bite, the place where ten thousand deaths.
