[Grave Robber] Dragon Soul

Hearing that it was a box containing a fox's head, Jian Sansheng was stunned for a moment, and then, like Huo San'er and others, showed a strange look.

"Xiao Zheng, are you really sure that the painting on it is a box with a fox's head?" Jian Sansheng held his chin and thought for a moment, then asked with a serious expression.

Seeing that his second brother was so serious, Jian Wuzheng couldn't help but look at the parchment drawing carefully again, then nodded, and said with certainty: "Yes, it is a box with a fox's head, but the fox's head seems to be Kind of weird."

"It's really weird..." Jian Sansheng glanced at Wu Zheng, then turned his head and gave Wu Lei a wink.

Upon receiving the signal, Wu Lei immediately took out a purple-brown wooden box from his backpack.The price of this box is obvious at first glance, not to mention the finely carved dragon pattern, just the few pieces of moist, delicate and smooth jade inlaid on it are enough for ordinary people to eat for three years.Look at the exquisite and small bronze mirror on the box lid, which adds a touch of weirdness to this box.

Taking the box from Wu Lei, Jian Sansheng handed it to his third younger brother, and said, "This red sandalwood yin and yang box is no different from a jewelry box, but the mystery inside is very big. The small mirror on it is called the Tai Chi Eight Diagrams mirror." , is specially used to shake evil spirits and ward off ghosts, the box with the fox head you mentioned probably refers to this."

It turned out that when Jian Sansheng led Huo San'er and others to destroy the axis mechanism in the maze, Liao Xiaocheng, who used the bone shrinkage technique to get into the seal, was frightened to death by the contents of the big iron box.

It's easy for people to lose everything in a small space that they don't fully control. In addition, Liao Xiaosheng puts his upper body into the trap, and outsiders will not know what happened to him inside and can't help him. This kind of feeling makes people feel uncomfortable. Even more uneasy, especially in the ancient tomb.

To put it more harshly, if a zombie ghost suddenly appeared in the mechanism, he would definitely be unable to defend himself, and it would be difficult for him to even escape.Not only that, if someone outside wanted to harm him and suddenly hit him, he would have no choice but to kick his legs and wait for death.But thanks to Wu Kun and the others under his command, they can still believe it, so he doesn't have to worry about the latter one.

As for the thing that frightened Liao Xiaosheng, he didn't know that he had frightened him until he had the courage to go in again to confirm it.

It was just a rosewood box, the workmanship was natural and fine, but it didn't make people feel any fear.The key lies in the half-opened gap of the box, revealing a pair of rather insidious eyes. In the dark and narrow space, when illuminated by the light of the wolf-eye flashlight, a vicious green light is reflected.Liao Xiaosheng was frightened by these dark eyes like dead fish.

After taking out the red sandalwood box, Jian Sansheng frowned and looked at it twice, then carefully opened the lid slowly.He was cautious because the Taiji gossip mirror on the cover was really dazzling, and it was definitely not a good product to suppress things with this kind of bronze mirror.

Everyone was staring at the inside of the box at this moment, and the wolf-eye flashlights and searchlights in their hands hit the same place like the spotlight on the stage.

Unexpectedly, when the box was opened, what was revealed inside was a white fox's head.The strangest thing about this fox head is not its fur color, but the pair of eyes.Ordinary fox eyes are brownish yellow, and only at night will they emit a green light due to reflection.But the eyeballs of this white fox head are like emeralds, green and translucent as a whole, it is clearly an old fox that has become fine and aged for a hundred years.

This made Jian Sansheng feel very unlucky, and couldn't help but think of something he heard from the old uncle Wu when he was enjoying the shade under the old tree in the courtyard.

At that time, it was the end of the Qing Dynasty, and there was a prosperous village in the south next to the foot of the mountain.There are not a small number of men and women who can resist working in the village. With the condition of being close to the mountain, they can get a lot of benefits all year round.The so-called relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to eat water, is talking about this truth.

It's a pity that good days always have a leader. At that time, China had internal and external troubles, and everything was not peaceful. Not long after the end of the Qing Dynasty, this small village was in big trouble.In addition to natural and man-made disasters, there was also a plague of rats.

The mice all came down from the mountain, and they gnawed grain next to each other. If there was only grain, it would be fine. Some of them became big rats, the size of a dog, and they could bite off one end with a single jump. The throat of a cow.Not to mention the flocks of chickens, ducks and sheep.

When the people in the village saw such a large number of rats in groups for the first time, they were shocked and didn't know what to do. They just watched the livestock and food in their homes being eaten up by the passing rats, leaving only chicken feathers and The rice husks, and even the immature crops in the fields were devastated.

Later, several leading men in the village approached the village head to make a plan, saying that this would not work, the rats would come every three days, and everyone’s life would be difficult in the future, we had to find a way to prevent rats.

The village head also felt that it was time to find a way to kill the rats, so he nodded, saying that otherwise all the mud houses in the village would be eaten up.

So all the men in the village did their best to set up a trap for catching rats at the entrance of the village leading up to the mountain. The traps were filled with things that rats like to chew, which were mixed with countless poisons like arsenic. Smaller traps were also set up at the door of each household in the same way.

In this way, everyone went back to the house after the trap was set, and the doors and windows were closed tightly, waiting for the arrival of the rats.

But who would have thought that when the group of mice came again, they would not go to the place prepared in advance, as if they had seen through the human strategy, they went around in a small circle and followed the large army to plunder neatly and orderly one by one. Ignore those traps in and out of the village.

The people hiding in the house saw that the rats were still rampant outside the window, the dust was flying, and the cocks were crowing and the dogs were barking.

Could it be that these rats were sent by God to punish their village, so they saw through their traps?Then if they continue to fight against the heavens, will their wives and children be separated?

After the group of rats left, people in the village panicked for a while, and everyone wondered about the strangeness of these rats.

It wasn't until one day that the little baby from the second aunt's house in the village kept yelling that they saw a big white cat among the mice, and everyone realized something was wrong.When the rats came to visit again, I took a closer look, and sure enough, a white animal could be seen not far from the village, staring at them with green eyes, looking at them sinisterly.

But that was definitely not a big cat. The old people in the village said that it was a fox fairy who had become a spirit.It confuses the mice on the mountain to help it go down the mountain to plunder the food in the village so that it can go back to the mountain to continue practicing.

Foxes have been said to confuse people's hearts since ancient times, so manipulating a handful of mice is naturally not a problem.

The villagers immediately decided to go up the mountain to catch the old fox fairy, skin it and sell it in the city, but they didn't expect that the white fox seemed to see what the villagers were thinking, and disappeared for several days.

In the past few days, the mice on the mountain have not come down to the village to make trouble, and the days are smooth and stable, as if the previous rat plague was just a dream.But I didn't expect that a few days later, when the white fox took advantage of the dark night and the high wind to bring the rats again, the momentum was even bigger, and those rats didn't know what they ate, and all of them had dogs from the village. That size, with scarlet eyes, as soon as it rushed into the village, it began to bite livestock, and the village was suddenly full of chaos and smog.

The group of rats came fiercely, fearless, and even bit people in the end.After the disaster, an unknown number of people in the village died in the mouths of rats.The originally thriving village was desolate like a dead city overnight. Those who could escape basically escaped, and those who didn't escape were gnawed off by mice, and they collapsed on the ground moaning helplessly.

Once this happened, the village gradually fell into disrepair, and no one came back there. Some travelers who passed by went to the village to stay overnight. When you see the dead mouse, you can see that the mouse still has human fingers and hair in its mouth. Occasionally, you can see a big white fox squatting at the foot of the mountain, staring at the village with a pair of green eyes.

Thinking of this, Jian Sansheng felt that this white-haired fox head was not a good omen.

Jian Wuzheng took the red sandalwood box, looked suspiciously, and found that the locks on the front of the box turned out to be a pair of yin and yang copper fish. lifelike.When the lock is fastened, the yin-yang fish is in the shape of holding the yin and embracing the yang, and the two fish are connected end to end, and the cycle repeats endlessly.When the lock is opened, the yin and yang will split, and the dirty air will come out.

Gently parting the lid of the box, what was exposed inside was indeed the head of the white-haired fox.As the second brother said, the green fox eyes stared forward like a dead fish, revealing an evil spirit.But no matter what, they couldn't see any special function of this fox head, which would allow them to find the right way.

Looking at the three corridors that branched in different directions a few meters ahead, Jian Wuzheng felt a chilly air rushing up his back, and his heart was trembling, wondering what would happen if he went wrong.

Others are obviously also thinking about this question at this time. The blueprint says that if you find this fox head, you can find the correct tomb passage, but it doesn't explain how to use this head. You can't throw it on the ground and turn it around. Finally, look at the fox Go in whatever direction you turn your eyes?

Jian Wuzheng looked at the patterns on the stone walls at the entrance of the three corridors, and felt that there was really nothing weird worth studying, so he turned around to look at Wang Ziqian, who was leaning against the wall and lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.

But he didn't expect that when he turned around inadvertently, he heard Huo San'er screaming: "I'm stupid! Look, look! Open your mouth!"

Looking down with the same doubts as everyone else, Jian Wuzheng found that the head of the white-haired fox in the rosewood box in his hand closed its eyes automatically, and the sharp purple mouth opened strangely.
