Chapter 155 – Longevity Candle

Candle light in the corner of the tomb, the closest to us, is the same position with the three demon coffins in the room, according to the “△” type arrangement of the three candles, this kind of light is familiar to me, it must be the three candles that Fatty just lit.

However, to the right of the three candles, there are two rows of faint blue light, vertical appear on the wall, three by three, this kind of light can only make people in the dark place to perceive that there is light, and the blue light source itself does not have any illumination, the black is still so black, just in this piece of darkness, there are six more dark blue “ghost fire”.

The mouth fell hanging on the bronze ring on the huge bronze coffin, is also wearing a burst of copper and iron friction sound, I thought this must be a zombie inside scratching the lid of the sound, how the fuck just into the netherworld palace on the corpse, is not just I use my hand to wipe off the ash on the bronze coffin, the coffin of the ancient corpse felt the living person’s anger, will not be ah, I remember that I wore gloves.

And on second thought, not to mention that six “ghost fire” from where, we three “touch the gold schoolmasters” life lamp is still in the position is not bad at all, so this chamber at least so far, there is no “necromorphosis! So far, at least in this chamber, there is no sign of “necrophilia”, or the infestation of such dirty things as ghosts and spirits, but I do not know what is at fault.

I thought of this, then calm down, in the chamber shouted: “Wang Commander, what the hell are you picking up again? Quickly get the hell out of here, or else you’ll be punished by military justice.”

Only to see the fat man reveal his head from the other end of that bronze coffin and ask, “Commander Hu, you’re looking for me? I’ve started down a good thing on this bronze coffin, it seems to be gold.” After saying this, he held up this round metal object and walked over.

I took a look, see is a copper mirror, stroke off the dust above, the surface of the copper mirror is still light, not much rust, but the back of the patina, the mirror around the circle of golden “縎 stone” as a decoration, these round stones, can easily be mistaken for gold, although the back of the copper mirror is tattered and torn, but gives a kind of antique cultural relics unique The back of the bronze mirror is tattered, but it gives people a sense of decadent beauty unique to ancient cultural relics, what does a bronze mirror do on a bronze coffin? Is it to suppress the thousand-year-old corpse inside? Never heard of this kind of thing, I handed the mirror to the fat man and said: “This is a copper mirror, the back of the inlaid stone, not gold, where you brought it from, hurry up to load back to where, we have a big event at the moment, don’t delay the main event for these insignificant artifacts.”

Shirley Yang asked Fatty: “Just now you in the southeast corner of the crypt, a total of a few candles?”

Fatty heard Shirley Yang asked about this matter, could not help but wonder: “three ah, well caught me is also a cultural person, can not read the number, you see ……” said turned his head to look, suddenly dumbfounded, he also saw, in addition to those three candles, there are another six points of dark Gloomy blue light, it seems that those are also fire, because the fire source is too weak, it is difficult to fully burn, so the light emitted is blue, and the same as the ghost fire in the deserted graveyard.

I saw that six ghostly blue light is really not the fat man, but as long as the three candles are not extinguished, there will not be too much danger, or go over to take a clear look, the three coffins in the chamber are very strong, it will take some time to open, so if there is really any evil omen, nip it in the bud as early as possible, do not let it give us in the chamber to look for the “򖻮尘珠” causing obstacles. The “雮尘珠” is an obstacle.

Can light candles in the chamber, indicating that the oxygen has been gradually increased, I first used a flashlight to scan, but the chamber is buried deep underground, absolutely dark space, the air is more or less a little impurity, shine half a day, but did not see what there.

I smacked the gas mask heavy sight glasses can not see clearly, so the gas mask temporarily removed, hanging in front of the chest, replaced the mask to wear, carrying M1A1, leading Shirley Yang and fat man, walked over to check.

The location of the weird blue light, in the chamber door side, due to this shadowy palace in the chamber area is not small, the fat man point in the corner of the candle is relatively concentrated, the candle light is very limited, the distance between the two sources of light is about eight or nine meters away, who can not illuminate who.

Walked to the distance from the “ghost fire”, five meters away, “Wolf Eyes” has been able to shine the tomb wall clearly, we entered the chamber, the line of sight was attracted by the center of the three coffins, portable light source range has its limitations, so I did not notice that the inner chamber doorway side, there is something else. There is something else.

The earliest into the “wolf eyes” range, is a full of black scales of the strange face, this long face has no lips, only two rows of halberd open sharp teeth, that “ghost fire” of the weak light, is from her mouth out.

The fat man and I saw at first glance this kind of hateful and horrible face, the first thought in my heart is “evil ghost”, also forgot to think about whether the bullets are working, lifting up the “Chicago Typewriter” which has long been on the top of the fire, and immediately want to shoot.

Shirley Yang has a pair of night eyes, eyesight over people, in the dark often than I and fat man can see clearly, she suddenly opened her mouth and said: “It is the black scaled sharks …… does not matter, are dead, the original this is the tomb of the bright lights, the past life candle.”

I put the raised muzzle slowly lowered, we not long ago had talked about the long bright light in the underground palace that would not go out for ten thousand years, I can not imagine that once I came in, I encountered it, and my heart could not help but be a little curious: “Is there really a mermaid in the world? That is not just the ancient name for the manatee?” Then a few steps closer, want to see that long full of black scales of the mermaid is how to look like.

Just see that is two carved into the tomb wall of the copper column, each copper column are divided into upper and lower, a total of six half man half fish monster tied to the dried body, these sharks upper body like a woman, also has two breasts, neck is very thin, gills are long in the neck, but they do not have human skin, the whole body is sparse black large scales, only the belly without scales.

The body seems to have gone through a special treatment, dry hard caries black, in the netherworld and did not happen to rot, copper columns with chains, will be wearing six sharks pipa bone, sitting out of the crouching kneeling position, locked in the copper columns, just from top to bottom, uniformly lined up in a line, their mouths are surprisingly large, all wide-open, I used the “wolf’s-eye” flashlight inward! I used the “Wolf Eye” flashlight to look inside and found that the sharks’ throats were blocked by something white like asbestos, and there was a piece of flint sticking out of their dry, hard tongues, which was emitting a dim blue light.

Fatty curiously poked the shark with the barrel of the M1A1, the dead body has been hardened: “Not quite the same as the mermaids I imagined, but it’s better than the strange appearance, they are dead, it seems to be sold to the zoo is no chance, our capital’s nature museum is really short of such a specimen.”

I see this black scaled mermaid although strange, but only a common “longevity candle” in the underground palace, is used to symbolize that since the tomb owner’s body has been extinguished, the soul still exists props, immediately put the suspended heart down, took out a joss stick eye, with the mermaid’s mouth in the blue fire lit, spit out the smoke ring on the fat man’s face, said to him: “Wang commander this time awareness is still relatively high, did not only think of the individual, but first consider the country as a large collective, you fight it back to the Museum of Nature, to fill the blank of this field, maybe also can mix a certificate of award to hang.”

Shirley Yang said to me, “This is not the first discovery, the world has been a lot of people have found the bones of mermaids, the U.S. Navy has also been in the catch a live one, it is said that the ointment in the sea sharks, not only the ignition point is very low, and only a drop can be burned for months without extinguishing, the ancient aristocrats in the tomb of the oil as a perpetual light, but directly to the sharks body as a candle However, I have never heard of it, I think it has something to do with the fact that the legendary Immortal Mountain was in the sea during the Qin and Han Dynasties.”

I thought of the ancient Chinese mausoleum system had detailed records of longevity candles, heart suddenly sank, said to Shirley Yang: “you only know one or two, but do not know three, the legend of the East China Sea mermaids its sex is the most obscene, the mouth of bloodthirsty, are gathered in the sea of a dead coral formation of the island under the island coral holes, caves crisscrossing the depth of the unknowable, where the mermaids lair, they release sound in the nearby waters, and the mermaids are the most beautiful, and they have a lot of fun. They put out in the nearby waters of the sound and color, to attract passing ships and merchants, the victims were all eaten even the bones are not left, some people catch the live black scaled mackerel, it will be slaughtered cold dry, into its ointment, made of longevity candles, the value of gold beads 3,000, these stories I used to listen to my grandfather told, used to think that just a story, and now it seems to be true, and in addition to the closed and stable micro-environment of this chamber, was we broke, the fire ron meets the air is ignited, so the fire ron meets the air is ignited, so the fire ron meets the air is ignited, so the fire ron meets the air is ignited. The fire ron meets the air that is burning, so these …… ghost fires, suddenly lit up, I think this is all not strange.”

The strangest thing is that this “longevity candle”, a total of six, according to the mausoleum system, the “longevity candle” in the underground palace, only in the crypt, unlike the perpetual light, “longevity candle” one, corresponding to the tomb The “Eternal Life Candle” corresponds to an important body in the tomb, of course, the martyrs are not used, such as husband and wife buried together in the tomb, there are often two Eternal Life Candles in front of the coffin.

Fatty counted with his fingers, “There are only three coffins in the tomb, plus the three of us are alive, fuck him, are we even included?”

Shirley Yang shook her head and said, “No, I don’t think King Xian should be in the three coffins in the center of the chamber, although his coffin can’t go out of the scope of this chamber, it must be hidden very deep, and the three sets of coffins are even older, the bones in them represent the former life of King Xian, plus King Xian, that’s four corpses, Old Hu said that the animal carvings on the bridge of the three times, there are male and female pairs, all of them are male and female. , all have male and female pairs, this king’s tomb is a joint tomb, that means there are at least five corpses here, but this calculation, the number of corpses and longevity candles still do not match ……”

Just talking, a gust of wind drifted through the southeast corner of the chamber of the three candles are extinguished, behind the bronze coffin came from a nail claw scratching the metal of the ear-piercing sound, in the silence of the eerie underground palace, this sound can be enough to impact the depth of the human cerebral cortex, so that a person from the inside out of the production of a strong sense of overwhelming fear, we immediately turned back to Fatty on the side of the said to me: “to Chairman Mao assured me, this time it really wasn’t me.”

I said to the fat man, “The organization has always believed in you, but now the time to test you has come, you quickly go to see what is in that bronze coffin …… No, fucking really see ghosts, you guys look at that end of the coffin, how to emerge again three large clusters of ghostly flames side by side with a word? Could it be that there are nine corpses and bones here?”
