Chapter 63: The Shadow of the Lamp

Candle’s shadow flickering in the corner of the temple, reflecting the corner of the wall light and dark, the edge of the shadow of the lamp appeared a huge and white face, his body is hidden in the darkness beyond the range of the candle illumination.

Dajinya Fatty and I three people, standing in the stone door connecting the front hall and the temple of the underworld, the temple of the underworld area is very light, my wolf’s eye flashlight can not shine there, due to the distance, it seems that the face is fuzzy and difficult to distinguish, ghostly atmosphere.

We just entered the Underworld Hall, had a careful and thorough look at every corner of the Underworld Hall, the Underworld Hall in the empty, only four walls are not colored paintings, murals painted are some of the full-bodied courtesans, never this giant face, although the distance is farther, we can not see clearly, appearing in the corner of the face across the candles, in the end, who is the face of the.

Both sides of the standoff for a long time, the other side no movement, fat man lowered his voice and asked me: “old Hu, I see the opposite guy is not a good job, this is not suitable for a long time to stay, let’s retreat.”

I also whispered to the fat man and big gold teeth said: “Do not act rashly, first figure out whether he is a man or a ghost and then say.”

I can’t tell whether the owner of the face on the other side is a man or a woman, old or young, there is no coffin in this underworld hall, naturally there won’t be dumplings, it’s possible that the other side is taking advantage of our time in the front hall, drilling in from the robber’s hole, this robber’s hole isn’t something anyone dares to drill, it’s possible that the other side is also a Goldtouch Captain.

When I think of the gold touching lieutenant, I immediately think of the senior who repaired the fish bone temple, is …… he still not dead? Or maybe never find the way out, trapped in this neighborhood, we now see, is his ghost?

If the ghost is not a big deal, we have the Golden Buddha Jade Goddess of Mercy protection, and if the other side is really the Golden Captain, and we also have a few incense love, may be able to point us out.

Regardless of whether the other party is a person or a ghost, always have to break this deadlock, like so has been stalemated, for us no benefit, thought here, I will use the mouth of the set to the southeast corner of the person said loudly: “black folding probe dragon lifting the treasure cover, move the mountain to start the hill there is a hole in the sky, the star suddenly opened, the north dipper gathered south light.”

I said these words very politely, probably means that all are touching the pot of gold this pot to eat, since the collision together, there must be a first come first come, we are later, do not dare to prey on the beauty of the people, line a convenient, this will walk.

As the saying goes, “three hundred and sixty lines, line of work”, this three hundred and sixty lines, is to refer to a variety of camps in the world, life in the world, there must be a skill in the body, in order to be based on society, with the ability to earn a meal, do not have to worry about starvation and freezing to death in the street.

This 360 lines outside, there are another eight lines, belonging to the alternative, is not in the positive business students, not belonging to the workers, peasants, soldiers, academics and businessmen, which is outside of the eight lines of which there is a line of gold fighting.

State law, line has line rules, even the beggars have a beggar’s helper jurisdiction, pouring this confidential and mysterious line of work, the rules are more, such as a tomb, after opening the door of the mound, go in to touch the gold, and then come out, and never allow a groping lieutenant in a cave in a back and forth back and forth a number of times.

At most, only allowed to go in once, out once, after all, people that is the resting place, not their own backyard, and so on and so forth all kinds of rules and regulations, the list goes on and on.

One of them, that is, between peers and peers, the two ways people look on a mound door, want to come to move the mountain armor, then who first arrived to count who, behind the back can also go in, but what is it, should be advanced to go to the person who picks.

Because of the strict rules and regulations, unlike ordinary grave robbers, a tomb only take one or two things will stop, and the nobles in the tomb are very rich in the compensation of burial goods, so there will not be too much conflict between each other.

A tomb only take one or two things, the origin of this rule, one is to avoid doing too much work, life can not tolerate such a large pile of wealth, so as not to lead to fire and burn themselves.

There is another important reason is that the world’s tombs and more, there are digging up the time, things can not be done, their own wealth, but also have to leave a way out for their peers.

This is the biggest difference between the professional gold detectives and grave robbers, grave robbers often because of one or two pieces of artifacts fought, flesh and blood abound, because they rarely find large tombs, do not understand the awesome, do not know that artifacts is the head of the disaster, take more than one will be retaliated against.

Cao Mengde in the Three Kingdoms for the military pay, ad hoc hair mound, touching the gold of the job, in fact, the lieutenant general lieutenant and other military ranks is set up by Cao Cao, however, touching the gold and hair mound of the name, as well as moving the mountain, unloading the ridge is the end of the Qin and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, will have existed in the world of the four fights sect, but these sects of the door disciples, secretive, the world more than do not know, the history of the book is also no record, until the time of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the hair mound, moving the mountain, unloading the ridge of the three have lost the tradition, and thus cut off. Have been lost, and thus cut off, leaving only the gold touching a door.

Touching the gold in a door is not the need to have a master to teach will be considered a disciple, he has a special set of signs, cut, technology, as long as you know the rules of the trade terminology, are all the same door, such as this from the virtual position cut into the temple of the underworld of piracy, it is only the masters of touching the gold lieutenants to do, I used to understand part of these things from my grandfather, and part of it is also from the desert back to the road from the mouth of the Shirley Yang know.

So I think that since it is the same school and the same way, there is nothing bad to discuss, of course, this is in the other party is still alive under the premise, if it is a ghost ghost, most likely will not turn the other cheek, the big deal is that we will bury his body solemnly buried is also.

After I finished, will wait for the other party to respond, generally in this case, if the person is also a bucket of connoisseurs, I gave enough face to the other party, I think he will not be with us, even if it is a few decades ago to come to the deceased that the gold detector, it should not be difficult for us.

However, after waiting for half a day, the other party did not respond, the candle has burned more than half, in the southeast corner of the temple of the underworld in the person, still and before the same indifference, as if carved in clay and stone general motionless.

I thought don’t again is not in the line of people, don’t understand my lips canon, and then with the vernacular loudly re-said again, the result of the other side is still not any movement.

Now we can point hairy, the most afraid of this silent silence, do not know what drugs sold in the gourd, if you want to leave from the Underworld Hall, you must walk to the Underworld Hall in the middle of the entrance to the cave, but the lights and shadows of the one behind the straight look at us, I do not know what we want to do, we can not eat the other party’s intentions, do not dare to venture over.

I thought for a moment, it would not be this point of view is not a gold detector, but the master of the tomb, that would be difficult to do, rushed to the southeast corner of the temple shouted: “Hey …… the opposite side of the one, what exactly are you what the gods, we are just passing by here, see there is a robber’s hole, it drilled in to visit the tour, there is nothing illegal thought.”

The fat man saw the other side still did not move, also anxious, shouted: “We are about to come back from where to go, you do not say anything again, we will take you as acquiescence, at that time do not regret ah …… ”

Dajinya said quietly to us in the back: “I said Hu master fat master, over there is not the wall murals painted on the characters, we did not see clearly, this candle light shadows, I see really easy to see the eyes.”

He said, we both heart more bottomless, a moment of their own memory has doubts, heck, to really so, then we can plant this face, this few minutes almost let themselves to die of fear, but it is not like a painting.

This medieval hall, including the entire tomb, are evil awesome, we just entered the medieval hall is indeed nothing found, but into the cave, halfway is not also no boulders it is hard to guarantee that the medieval hall will not be out of thin air on the sudden emergence of something, in the end, is it a person? Is it a ghost? Is it a demon? Or as Dajinya guessed, is the painting on the tomb wall?

Seeing the candle on the ground will burn to the end, then we can no longer consume, I secretly pulled the paratrooper knife in hand, this knife is the Russian flow into China, specifically used to cut the rope, such as paratroopers parachute, parachute hanging in the trees, people hanging in mid-air, you can use this special knife to cut the parachute rope, the knife is very short and compact, the handle of the knife long blade is short, very sharp, very convenient to wear on the body, we came to Shaanxi this time. We came to Shaanxi this time, in the interior of the country, and did not dare to wear daggers, so we wore a few short parachute knives with us for defense.

I held the golden Buddha in my other hand, and gave a wink to Fatty and Dajinya, and went over together to see what the other side was, and Fatty also pulled out his engineer’s shovel, and gave the two big white geese to Dajinya to hold.

Three people into an inverted triangle formation, Fatty and I in front, Dajinya holding the geese, holding a flashlight in the back, step by step slowly toward the southeast corner of the candle.

Every step I hold the paratrooper knife in the hands of some more cold sweat, at this time I can not say is afraid or nervous, I even expect the other side is a dumpling, jumped out and I played a painful fight, so do not say a word ghostly standing in the dark corners, more than long hair will pounce on people dumplings still fucking oozing.

On the opposite side of the person, is about to enter our wolf-eye flashlight lighting range, the candle on the ground burned to the end, puffed a wisp of smoke, quietly extinguished.

With the candle extinguished, the light shadow after the face, immediately disappeared in a darkness.
