Chapter 88 Bug Jade
That black Buddha said a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, in fact, just the name, not the statue really have a thousand hands, a thousand eyes, corrosive jade made of black Buddha statue as tall as a normal person, behind dozens of or holding a different type of magic weapon, or pinch the fingers of the arm, statue of the whole body has more than a hundred eyes, originally are closed, this time suddenly opened, those eyes do not have pupils, but as if there is a life in general, they have to wriggle non-stop.
Father Tomas was scared by the countless maggot like eyes on the black Buddha, and was busy asking Elder Dust: “What …… is this? When did these eyes open? Are these eyes or worms?”
Although the dust elders have seen a lot of knowledge, but the corrupted jade and black Buddha never seen with their own eyes, just listen to the seniors mentioned the world has these two things, and extinct for a long time, those seniors also do not know which in the end, the content of the story is very limited, is it true that the black Buddha to pay in the dead do not disperse the dead spirit? Otherwise, how the black Buddha like a life like ……
Just see the black Buddha statue of hundreds of strange eyes, out of a stream of thick like to solidify the black fog, these black fog in the “insert the cabinet” in the cohesion of one, through the flickering light of the candles, you can see the outline of the black fog, like a blurred black Buddha statue.
At this time just vomited blood “partridge whistle” also returned to sanity, see this horror of the black fog, and the dust elders and Father Thomas, are generally surprised, the tomb has always been a lot of strange and mysterious things, “partridge whistle” of the grave robbing career has seen a lot, it is difficult to make him feel surprised again. It is very difficult to have anything to make him feel surprised again, however, this black fog is really unexpected, if not see with their own eyes, where would believe that there are such evil things in the world.
Father Thomas think that is the evil spirit, take out a bottle of holy water, pull open the bottle cap to raise his hand to splash the black fog, the ink like black fog was moving very slowly, see water splash, the black fog suddenly and swiftly no matter by the center of a big hole, Father Thomas’s holy water are splashed empty, through the big hole in the black fog, landed on the floor of the crypt, the big hole in the black fog, just in the middle of the Buddha’s silhouette, as if the black Buddha opened a black hole, the black Buddha opened a black hole, the black Buddha opened a black hole, the black Buddha opened a black hole, the black Buddha opened a black hole. The black Buddha opened the black hole of the hideous mouth, in a silent roar at the three people.
Seeing that the black mist seemed to be afraid of Fr. Tomas’ holy water, “Partridge Whistle” asked Fr. Tomas to splash some more, but Fr. Tomas shrugged his shoulders and said, “It’s gone, just this half bottle.”
Dust Elder holding the Buddha beads said: “foreign monk’s means is also good, the original this evil fog fear of magic weapon, it seems that the moment of the great break has passed, the evil and evil can not help me, and look at the old line to collect it.” Said the hand of the Buddha bead string rope ripped off, the Buddha bead split head and face to the black fog.
I did not expect this time that the heavy abnormal black fog did not have any reaction, was the Buddha beads smashed muddy as if not realize, continue to slowly forward, the dust elders heart secretly wondered: “This is really strange, difficult to my Buddha boundless power, even worse than the Western holy water? Alas, this …… what the fuck is this world ah.”
“Partridge whistle” see the dust elder dazed, hastily pulled him a hand, the three were forced by the black fog, had to retreat backward, this black fog from the corrosive jade released, touch it there are two possibilities, one is like that white skeleton, the whole body flesh and viscera instantly decayed, into pus, only a skeleton; the other possibility is that the black fog is the dust! Another possibility is that the black mist is what Elder Dust said, which is haunted by evil spirits, and once it touches a living person, it will be haunted by evil spirits.
No matter which, are miserable unspeakable, behind the back has retreated to the corner, there is no way back, looking at the slowly approaching black fog, “Partridge Whistle” know that the end has come, to the dust elder said: “The first son of today’s drag on the master, a hundred deaths can not be atoned for.”
Dust Elder just want to “partridge whistle” say some subtle Buddhist theory, to show their own life and death has long been transcendent, but found that not far in front of the black fog like a wall is not running to their own three people, but pounced on the other side of the corner of the candles to go, touching the gold schoolmasters have a kind of instinctive reaction to the candles, the heart of a sudden: “Why did these black fog move toward the candle ……”
“Partridge Whistle” also realized the situation: “Black fog ……”
Elder Duchen, Father Thomas and “Partridge Whistle” said almost in unison: “Candles!”
When we first entered the tomb, “Partridge Whistle” used the phosphorescent tube on the golden steel umbrella to illuminate, the phosphorescent light emitted blue light, a cold light source, without any temperature, so since we entered the tomb until we saw the black Buddha and the white bones, nothing unusual happened, just want to go back, the original walking at the end of the Father Thomas became the walking at the forefront. When he wanted to go back, Fr. Thomas, who was the last one to go, became the first one to go, and he lit the candle given to him by “Partridge Whistle” to illuminate the way, and suddenly a black fog emerged from the tunnel under the Jade Gate.
All the people were forced by the black fog into the “insertion of the cabinet” to hide, until the Dust Elder lit the candle lighting to open the box, the multi-handed, multi-eyed black Buddha suddenly appeared to change, the Buddha’s body to open his eyes, out of a stream of black smoke.
That’s right, it must be the temperature, although I don’t know what the principle is, but these black mists will be like moths that flutter on the fire, being drawn out by the temperature of the candles, it must be that the air in the crypt reaches a certain temperature before it appears, and it must be a high enough temperature, if you don’t light the candles and torches and so on, this kind of black mists probably won’t appear at all, these black mists seem to be in a kind of sleeping state, once awakened by the flames of the high temperature awakened, it would destroy all targets in the chamber that exceeded the material temperature before subsiding.
The black fog is really the first to the ground candle as the target, the heavy black fog seems invisible, but actually has quality, in a moment the candle flame was swallowed up by the black fog, the chamber immediately dark.
“Partridge Whistle” and others see this scene, know that the black fog in the black Buddha after engulfing the candle, will immediately look for the target of the temperature inferior to the candle, that is certainly inserted in the three living people in the attic.
(The book endorsement: rot jade, also known as quartz stone, or the name of the insect jade, produced in a valley in Afghanistan, is a very strange thing, this insect jade itself has a variety of odd characteristics, has been a legendary mysterious substance, extremely rare. Ancient people believe that this kind of living stone, there is some kind of evil soul to pay on it, as long as the burning flame in the vicinity of the bug jade from which will emit a large number of thick as solidified black fog, black fog, after all the nearby more than a certain temperature of the material, are corroded into pus, and not a touch of corrupted jade as heard by the dust elders, the human body will be turned into pus, and must be the first high temperature to lead out of the black fog! , the black mist will only have a corrosive effect on the nearby substances, the insect jade itself does not have this effect.
In ancient times, there was a cult, the use of the black mist emitted from the jade, will form a vague multi-armed silhouette of the human figure this feature, the silhouette of the human head figurative, resulting in the darkness of the Buddha, claiming that the darkness will ultimately replace the light, absorbing a large number of believers, and later this religion was completely annihilated, and from that time onwards, was very rare jade, also disappeared for a time from the world, until the modern era in 1986, only in a It was only in 1986, during a joint archaeological activity, that this kind of strange stone, which existed only in the ancient documentary records, was rediscovered in the ruins of Türkiye Kamankarehoyuk, and it is no longer possible to prove why this black Buddha appeared in the ruins of Kamankarehoyuk, but only to judge that it might have been handed down there in ancient times.
The secret of rotting jade, in the late nineteenth century was cracked by American scientists, in fact, this mysterious windowpaper a poke that is similar to the Chinese Cordyceps, the so-called Cordyceps, the fungus Cordyceps sinensis parasitized on the body of the bat moth larvae of the zygote and the larvae body of the complex. As its name suggests, it is a worm in winter and a grass in summer.
The quartz stone, is room temperature like stone like jade, there is a flame triggered by high temperature will become insects, a large group of black worms gathered together, extremely small, individual “quartz” with the naked eye can barely distinguish, a large number of aggregated together, is very much like black smoke, usually in a state of rigor mortis, a large number of quartz worm dead body superimposed on top of each other, like Black jade, shell inside the insect corpse in the sense of the nearby air temperature drastic changes, there will be an accelerated metamorphosis process, shedding the white corpse skin, gathered together to fly out, these cocoon out of the quail, will continue to die through the secretion of a large number of corrosive liquids, devouring all the nearby high-temperature objects, including the flames can be quenched by the liquid of the insect corpse.
In a way, the insect jade can be said to be very sharp guardian of the tomb, from the stone of the countless bugs, forming a tent of insects, enough to cover the entire area of the tomb.
Of course, “Partridge Whistle” and Dusty Elder are both superstitious thinking very serious gold inspector, the first time to see the legend of the evil bug jade, coupled with the era has never been solved the bug jade of the mystery, so in their view, this phenomenon in front of them must be a haunting of the evil spirit).
“Partridge Whistle” and other three people have recognized the black fog will prioritize the attack of high temperature targets, in order to draw away the black fog, casually lit a few candles, the black fog by the heat of the candles to the corner of the wall, the corner of the wall and the ancient tomb inserted in the pavilion of the flap wall to reveal a large gap.
Elder Dust and other people into the tomb before eating the “red trousseau wonderful heart pill”, this secret medicine can lower the body temperature, and slow down the body’s breathing rhythm, so the black fog in the candle’s temperature attraction, will not easily notice the three living people, “Partridge Whistle” to see the counter-attack now! Partridge Whistle” saw that it was too late to fight back, so he had to stick to the wall to avoid the black fog, ready to return to the main chamber from the insertion of the pavilion, to divert the black ghost fog there, and to go out from the passage under the jade door.
Dust elders on the way out, hand in hand to the box of “foreign language keel” to get the hands of the keel engraved with a lot of weird symbols, there are a lot of symbols shaped like “雮 dust beads”, maybe the last phoenix gall bladder “雮 dust beads Maybe the whereabouts of the final phoenix gallbladder “雮尘珠”, may end up landing in this piece of foreign language on top of the dragon bone, this piece of dragon bone bone armor hidden in the insertion of the attic so hidden, must have its value.
At this time, “partridge whistle” and Father Thomas, has pushed over the wall of the lamp organ, greeted the dust elder quickly, the dust elder hastened to catch up, the organ wall click a turn, but in the half stop, as if it is where the card is dead, a moment of the back of the enemy into the back of no way out.
