Ghost Blows Out the Light - Vol 2 Chapter 25

Except for me, the rest of the people felt strange when they heard the fat man. What’s wrong with this person, how did this jade eyeball become yours? What do you want?

I whispered in my heart: “If these archaeologists knew that we were doing the blonde hair mound, it would be a big deal.” He quickly reached out to the fat man and said: “Why the **** is so much nonsense, less No one said you were dumb. ”

The fat man closed his mouth and stopped talking. Fortunately, he wore a double-filter gas mask on his face. The temple was dark, and no one could see the expression of anyone, and avoided unnecessary embarrassment. .

Professor Chen and his three students are nerds. My biggest worry is that Shirley Yang sees through. She does n’t know how many times her brain is better than me. She also responds quickly. She ca n’t hide her if she shows a bit of her feet. I can see that the fat man and I are fighting craftsmen, but they just didn’t say it. So far, I don’t need to put a burden on myself, so I don’t think much about it, and help the fat man put the jade wear on the jade eyeball.

The eyes of the jade eyeball were facing upwards, facing the ceiling, and the groove above seemed to coincide with the fat piece of jade, changing the direction of the jade several times, and finally aligned, the “click” snapped in, and the jade eyeball flicked and rolled From the previous fixed position, the ground is bare, and I don’t know what the power of the organ just fixed the jade eye there.

I took the jade eyeball and gave it to Professor Chen, and asked him to watch it.

Shirley Yang folded a fluorescent tube to illuminate Professor Chen. Professor Chen took out the magnifying glass, turned it over and figured it out for two or three minutes, and kept shaking his head: “This … I can’t see what it does, but this jade eye is like this. It ’s big, it ’s natural, and it ’s totally impossible to see the traces of artificiality. It can even be said that artificial technology could not have been created two thousand years ago. ”

The ghost cave civilization of the perfect country is too mysterious. Professor Chen and others exhausted decades of hard work and did not have much information, but only had a preliminary understanding of some ghost cave characters and history. It is speculated that this is a nation that uses the eyes as a totem for spiritual worship, or a judgment made after the black tower. At this moment, naturally, it is impossible to explain what this mysterious jade eye is.

What can be determined at present is that this hall with sixteen giant stone pillars is a temple. Since the eye is regarded as the highest energy source, it is natural to enshrine an eyeball in the temple.

But why is there a groove in this jade eye that completely matches the fat jade pendant, and once installed, the jade eye originally fixed on the floor will naturally fall off? These things cannot be understood.

Professor Chen asked the fat man to tell the origin of his piece of jade from the original place. There must be no concealment or exaggeration. Be sure to seek truth from facts.

The fat man has been a self-employed for a few years, usually bragging about the mountains, basically not thinking about it, catching up with what is blowing, before coming to Xinjiang, he once said to professors and others that this piece of jade was obtained when he went to Xinjiang to fight bandits. At that time, everyone laughed at it, and no one took it seriously, only to see that there was a mysterious and unpredictable ghost cave on this jade, and then he agreed to let him join the archaeological team and come to Xinjiang together.

Now being questioned, the fat man didn’t dare to brag about seeing everyone serious, and he knew very little about the origin of this piece of jade, so he spoke out one by one.

It turned out that the fat man ’s father had been involved in the revolution as early as fifteen years old. He had a comrade-in-arms. In the later period of the liberation war, two comrades who were originally in the same class had already separated each other, one in the field and one in the field To the senior commander of the column commander level. This comrade-in-arms of his fat father, when the PLA entered the Xinjiang with one field and one regiment, led troops through Niya on the southwestern edge of the Taklimakan Desert, and encountered a band of more than a hundred bandits on the way.

At that time, the situation in Xinjiang was very complicated. The scattered soldiers of various armed forces and a large number of bandits, horse thieves, etc. were so many, so the encounter between the PLA and the bandits was normal. A short and fierce battle, the Chief Guards Group took this group The bandits beat to death, and finally found this jade piece on the dead body of a black-bearded bandit.

No one knows the origin and use of this jade. Apart from the fact that the color and texture are unusual, and there are some strange symbols carved on it, there is nothing special about it.

Later, when the chief heard that the old comrade had got a big fat boy, he asked the man to send the piece of jade that he had inadvertently obtained as a gift.

After the current in February, the fat man ’s parents were shocked and died one after another. The chief in Xinjiang also died due to illness. At that time, the fat man was only fifteen or sixty years old. Gu Guyu was preserved like a baby. For the origin of this piece of jade, all he knows, that is all.

Professor Chen sighed after listening: “Unfortunately these people are gone, this piece of fine jade has changed hands several times, and the source has been unverifiable …” I was so ashamed that I couldn’t understand the mystery of this jade eyeball.

Shirley Yang took the jade eye from the professor’s hand to watch it, and she watched it very carefully. I saw that she hadn’t said much since entering the ancient city of Jingjue. I thought she might be worried because she never found her father’s trace after seeing this ancient city. The explorers of her father have been missing for more than a year. It is extremely difficult to say whether they arrived here, and this is located in a mountain pass, and there are many wind and sand storms. The whole city does not know how many times it has been buried in the desert by the wind and sand. After being exposed by the next wind, we can find it this time, which can be said to be extremely lucky. This vast desert, looking for a small expedition, like a haystack, is easier said than done. She always has a silver lining. She will always feel at ease when she sees the corpse. The deeper she explores in the ancient city of Jingjue, the stronger her sense of loss may be.

In the valley, I was saved by her life, I hope to have the opportunity to do something for her. Seeing her interested in this jade eyeball at this time, I thought that it was a pity that the ancient jade was a fat thing, and it would be good if she gave it to her.

Before Shirley Yang had finished watching it, the fat man was a little reluctant and reached out to ask. Shirley Yang shook his jade-eyed hands backwards and said to the fat man, “What are you in a hurry, I will naturally return you after watching.”

The fat man said: “Don’t talk nonsense, this jade belongs to our family, what makes you look like a foreigner? I’m afraid you can’t pull it out of your eyes.” .

When I saw this, I hurriedly dissuaded: “Don’t rob you, don’t rob, just give me the face of the team leader. I’ll call the shots, let Ms. Yang … watch for five minutes.”

I was afraid that the fat man and Shirley Yang would fight to break the jade eyeball, so I said that I reached out and pressed the jade eyeball in their hands. I did n’t think that the two of them saw me intervene, and they did n’t want to fight, and let go together. .

I only held out one hand, and still held it from above. The jade eyes were round and big, slippery, and one could n’t hold it. The jade eyeball fell heavily on the ground, snapped, and fell into eight petals. .

Everyone glared at him, Professor Chen pointed to me with a trembling gesture: “You … you youyou …” You haven’t said a word for a long time.

I couldn’t argue, shaking my hands again and again: “I’m not … I am … I’m not so kind, I didn’t expect … how is his mother so unreliable?” He said while reaching out to pick up the jade fragments on the ground, my heart Secretly pray, it’s best to stick them together and restore them, otherwise they will let me compensate. This is an invaluable treasure, even if I break it up and sell it, I can’t afford it.

At that time, I was really anxious and confused, and I forgot to specifically pray to God or Buddha, probably because there is no fixed belief, the effect of prayer is not very significant, and the jade eye is very heavy, plus the ground The stone bricks are hard, and some of them are broken into slag. I dragged the ground for a long time, and I didn’t find all the fragments.

The fat man said, “Walk Laohu, if you fall, you’ll **** fall, don’t pick it up.” Then he pulled my arm and tried to hold me up.

I squatted for a little longer, and with anxiety in my heart, the equipment in the geological bag behind was heavy again, pulled by the fat man, got an unstable footing, and sat down on the ground. I struggled to get up, and I looked up inadvertently, and in the faint light, there was a basin-sized eye on the roof of the temple, with a strange light flashing, staring at us.

When we came in, we had a cursory look at the surrounding environment. The dark ones on the top were not taken a closer look, and no one noticed when such a big eyeball came out.

I hurried to take the flashlight up. Although the temple is high, the top area should be within the range of my flashlight. Who knows that the flashlight shines on it, and the beam of light is like being engulfed by darkness, except for the huge one. Eyes covered with red silk, the rest of the roof was dark, and nothing could be seen.

The other six people also saw the huge weird eye above their heads, and everyone was in a bad mood, fearing that weird eye would fall and hurt themselves.

I saw that the giant eye turned around in mid-air and landed on the ground. This time we all saw clearly. Although this thing looks like an eyeball, it is actually a translucent meat ball, and the outside is all blue and white. There is a large mass of black lacquer in the middle of the substance, and it is strange to look at it coldly without seeing it as an eyeball.

When the fat man saw the strange and abnormal meat ball, he panicked and put the assault rifle on his back in his hand, ready to shoot. I quickly held his arm: “Don’t act lightly …”

Not waiting for us to understand what this is. The big-eyed meat ball suddenly “popped” and burst out hundreds of black monster snakes entangled together. These monster snakes saw us at Zagrama Mountain The same thing happened, they were all black scales, but they were only a few centimeters long, and there was a black sarcoma on the top of their heads.

Piles of monster snakes wriggled together, and their bodies were covered with sticky transparent liquid, as if they had just hatched from an egg. It was indescribable disgusting. Everyone saw the scalp tingling and couldn’t help but stepped back a few steps. .

The patron saint statue we saw in the Black Tower was also a black ball above the head. At that time, Professor Chen speculated that the black ball was an eye. No wonder Shirley Yang was in an emergency in the valley, using a flash Saved my life, it seems that this sarcoma on the head of the snake, if not the eyes, is extremely sensitive to the light source.

How dare you delay at this time, fat guys and I are standing in front of everyone, shooting while the black snakes are still entangled, and they have a strong vitality, leaving only one head that can still hurt people. The gun greeted Chu Jian, poured the solid fuel up, and burned them completely.

The fire shone brightly on the shrine, which was full of large stone pillars, and hundreds of black snakes were burned into coke before they had time to display their fangs. I took a deep breath. Fortunately, I started first. The appearance of these black monsters is related to my broken jade eyeballs? Or that jade eye is a sacrificial vessel, and the ancient jade is mounted on the jade eye, and a certain ritual is completed, leading these strange snakes out of the so-called imaginary space? Whatever it is, seeing this jade eyeball in the future will never be taken lightly.

I asked everyone to look around, lest there was a fish in the net, and I carefully looked at the roof. There were flat stone bricks everywhere, and I couldn’t figure out where the big eye-like snake eggs came from.

This careful inspection does not matter, it turned out that some unusual places were found. There are sixteen giant stone columns in the temple. Each column has six eye patterns on its body, and the base of the stone column is a regular hexagon. On each side of the five sides, a small symbol is engraved, which are different, namely hungry ghosts, sheep heads, Hu people, giant pupils, guardian beasts, and one side is empty.

These stone pillars have attracted our attention. Professor Chen recorded the orientation of these symbols one by one with a pen. Let us turn the hexagonal stone base under the stone pillar. After a try, it turns out that there is a stone trough and the body of the pillar Separation, as long as you force, you can rotate.

The professor said that it seems that these are large stone pillars. It is a temple used for sacrificial offerings. It is also a multi-functional sacrificial place. The hexagonal symbol at the bottom of the pillar shows its function.

These stone pillars are grouped in groups of four. The current arrangement is that the symbols of the patron saint cross each other. The jade eyeball just now is a sacrificial artifact, and the ancient jade of the fat man is the magic weapon for initiating the ritual. The possibility of the device. As for how this magical instrument has fallen outside, I am afraid there will never be an answer. Maybe it was that there were tomb robbers and expeditions who had entered the temple of this ancient country. Maybe it was those who resisted the elite queen two thousand years ago. The slaves who ruled were stolen, and there was no way to know.

It can be inferred that once the magic weapon is connected, the monster snake regarded as the guardian deity can be summoned to come out and enjoy the sacrifice. And it is said that this is a multifunctional shrine, because there are not only high-level guardian gods, but also slaves, livestock, and evil spirits at the bottom. The shrine may also be used to suppress evil spirits and punish slaves. Ceremonies. By changing the arrangement of the symbols under the stone pillars, different ritual objects are determined.

Shirley Yang asked: “Professor, this shrine should be the same important place as the royal palace. Will there be a hidden road here, connected to the underground royal palace? Let’s look around and see if we are good? Now Xiaoye is in poor health and must find the underground palace as soon as possible. The water veins. ”

Professor Chen said: “Old deceased can guarantee tickets, there must be such a secret road, but since it is a secret road, the scale of this temple is so large, where can we find it in a quarter of an hour?”

The fat man said: “The two shopkeepers, as the saying goes, take people’s money and eliminate disasters with people. You probably don’t know how great I and Lao Hu are. We don’t have so many Soviet yellow explosives, A few of you went out for a break, and I went out of the tunnel to let you also see our means. ”

Professor Chen hurriedly waved his hand: “Never come here, these are the remains of ancient civilization, and it is a crime to destroy a brick.”

I thought to myself that I had broken the jade eyeball just now. It is now my chance to atone for my sins. The world is full of geography and feng shui. I have everything in my chest to find a secret path. So I said to them: “I see this The arrangement of the sixteen stone pillars in the temple is the same as the arrangement of the sixteen dragons in the earth. This layout is in line with the number of giant gates. The ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty have been used to arrange this kind of organs. I watched the situation around the ancient city on the black tower. , It really is the best place, it can be seen that the elite queen is also a master who is proficient in metaphysics. May I try it, find the passage in the temple with the technique of dividing the gold and fixing the points. Maybe you can find the underpass, but this method I ’m also a beginner, and if I ca n’t find it then, let ’s think about another way. ”

When everyone listened, they all agreed, waiting to watch. I walked to the center of the temple and watched the stone pillars around. In fact, this arrangement of sixteen dragon pillars is not too difficult, but it is changed according to the five elements and twenty-four directions. It is just a different place and occasion, which is slightly changed. , And repeatedly walked back and forth between the stone pillars, secretly calculating.

This penetrating sixteen dragons is actually a snake. “Sixteen Character Yin-Yang Fengshui Secret Technique” has a cloud: the snake snake drifts suddenly, suddenly north and south. Of these sixteen, only one through the ground is the real dragon. To put it simply, it took a lot of thought to actually use it, and finally locked the target on the four tiles deep in the temple.

Knocked with a small geological hammer, three of which were real, only one echoed empty, this two-meter square large stone brick, there is no wear on the edge caused by frequent opening, it seems that this channel is rarely used However, unless you use explosives, if you want to pry it, you ca n’t pry it. The nearest stone pillar is an institution. I do n’t know if this institution is still working.

I greeted the fat man for help. I placed my hand under the hexagonal stone trough under the stone pillar. In case I turned the wrong direction and triggered something, I just let it go and let another Professor Chen and others retreat to the outside of the temple and wipe their heads. Khan’s sweat beads told the fat man to first align the empty side with the stone block that might be the dark road, and then prepare to turn hard five clockwise, one reverse, then eleven clockwise, and then reverse Turn two directions in the direction, no more and no less, otherwise it will be hard to say what will happen.

The fat man said, “Lao Hu, when I don’t know how to count, when I went to school, my grades were much better than you. Don’t talk nonsense, just go.”

In my mind, the secret formula in mystery is: “Look for the dragon for thousands of miles, seek around, five steps along the sun, and one from the yin.”

The two used their strength, turned the hexagonal stone trough, turned one frame and counted them all together, and after turning the last one, only to hear the click of the boom, the stone bricks on the ground fell, revealing a bottomless tunnel.
