Chapter 10 Shadow

()

I began to think that he wanted to scare me, but looking at his expression and his personality, he didn't look like that kind of person. The Duluo Bottle kept making "giggling" sounds, and he couldn't see his mouth move. The four of us looked at him, that cold, and thought it wasn't enough, could it be, could the Duluo Bottle be an infernal zongzi?

Uncle San saw that his expression was so terrifying, so he pulled Pan Zi out. Suddenly, the mud oil bottle stopped making a sound. There was no sound in the tomb room. I don’t know how long it took, but I was a little impatient. Just as I was about to ask him what happened, the coffin board suddenly flipped upwards and began to shake violently. Then a gloomy and cold voice came out of the sarcophagus. The sound was very similar to what my grandfather’s notes described, and it really seemed like the sound of a frog screaming.

Seeing this, Dakui was so scared that he sat on the ground. My feet became weak and I almost sat down. My third uncle had seen the world. Although his feet began to shake, he didn't fall down.

After hearing the sound, the oil bottle looked very ugly. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily at the coffin. When we saw it, we immediately came to school and kowtowed. The oil bottle raised its head and made a series of strange sounds, as if it was chanting a spell. Uncle San had a cold sweat and said softly: "Isn't he talking to it?"

The sarcophagus finally stabilized and stopped shaking. The mud oil bottle kowtowed again, then stood up and said to us: "We must leave here before dawn."

Uncle San wiped his sweat and asked, "Brother, it turns out that you were bargaining with this Grandpa Zongzi just now?"

Mon Oil Bottle made a gesture of not asking: "Don't touch anything here anymore. The main in this coffin is extremely powerful. If this is released, the God of Daluo will not be able to get out."

Pan Zi was ungrateful and asked with a smile, "I'm talking about this guy, where is the foreign language you just spoke?"

Menyoubo ignored him and pointed to the passage behind the coffin and said, "Go over and don't touch the coffin!" Uncle San calmed down. To be honest, there was such a person who was much more courageous, so we cleaned up the guy. Uncle San took the lead. At the end, we turned on the mine lamp and went down to the tunnel behind the coffin. When Dakui walked past the coffin, he pressed his back against the wall and kept his distance. It looked very funny, but I had no interest in laughing at him at this time.

The tomb passage is tilted downwards, with inscriptions and some stone carvings on both sides of the tomb passage. I looked at it and didn't understand what it means. In fact, I have done rubbing and antique business, and I have studied these. I can understand a few words.

But I can say that even if I understand these words clearly, because there is no punctuation at all, it is very difficult to understand the meaning in it. The ancients spoke very concisely and very skillfully, for example, a: "Ran". I remember a king of Qi asked his military advisor a question, and the military advisor nodded and said, "Ran". The king went back and thought for a long time whether he agreed or opposed it, but he became ill after overwork. When he was dying, he told the military advisor that he had considered, and asked the military advisor if he meant that at that time, and then smiled: "Ran". The emperor immediately died.

Uncle San walked very carefully and took a long time to walk every step. The penetration of the mine lamp was not very strong. There were black lacquerware in front and black lacquerware in the back. This felt like we were in the water hole. I felt very uncomfortable. After walking for about half an hour, the tunnel began to move upwards. We knew that we had already walked half a journey. At this time, we saw a thief hole. Uncle San was shocked. He was most afraid that others would take the lead and hurried over to check it out.

This thief hole must have been dug well not long ago, and even the soil is relatively new. I asked Uncle San: "The old man said that if someone helped me enter this valley two weeks ago, would it be those who dug it?"

"I can't see it, but the hole was dug in a hurry. It seems that it didn't seem like a hole to come in, but it seemed like it was a hole to go out! I'm afraid we were really snatched away first."

"Don't be discouraged, Third Master, if they fall well, they must have gone out the same way. It seems that something has happened. I think the baby should be there anyway." Pan Zi comforted.

Uncle San nodded and let's continue to leave. Since someone has wading through the thunder for us, we don't need to be like this mother-in-law and mother.

We accelerated our speed and walked for another 15 minutes. We arrived at a thick corridor. This section was more than twice as wide as the one we came to, and the decoration was much more refined. It seemed that we had reached the main tomb. At the bottom of the corridor was a huge jade door, which was very transparent and now it was wide open. Compared to someone who opened it from inside, there were two statues on the edge of the jade door, two hungry ghosts, one holding a ghost claw in his hand and the other holding a seal in his hand. The body was pitch black.

Uncle San checked the Yumen and found that the mechanism above had been destroyed. We went in through the crack of the door. The space inside was very large and it was pitch black. The power supply of the mine lamp was insufficient and it could not be fully illuminated.

But we can probably read a summary, this should be the main tomb. Pan Zi swept his mine lamp and shouted: "Why are there so many coffins!"

Without a strong light source, it is very difficult to see clearly what is in the tomb. I glanced at me and found that there were many sarcophagus in the middle of the tomb chamber, and at first glance, I could see that it seemed to be arranged in a sorted order, not very regular and neatly. On the top of the tomb chamber is a large roof covered with murals, surrounded by regular stone boards, and there are characters on it. I put the mine lamp on the ground on one side, and Pan Zi put the one in his hand in the direction that crossed me, and illuminated it roughly. We saw that there were two ear chambers next to the tomb chamber.

Uncle San and I walked to the first sarcophagus and made a fire note. The sarcophagus was of completely different grade than the one we saw when we were robbing the hole. This one was carved with inscriptions. I looked at it and could understand part of it!

The text above records the life of the owner in the sarcophagus. It turns out that the owner of the tomb was a prince of Lu. This man was born with a ghost seal and could borrow ghost soldiers from the underworld, so he was defeated in battle. He was named King of Lu Shang by Duke Lu. One day, he suddenly asked to see Duke Lu and said that he had borrowed troops from the underworld for many years. Now that the Lord of Earth rebelled, he had to return to the underworld to repay the debt of favors. (Of course, the original sentence was not written like this). I hope that Duke Lu could allow him to return to the underworld to report his life. Duke Lu approved the report at that time, and King of Lu Shang sat down and turned away.

Duke Lu thought he would come back, so he set up this underground palace for him here to preserve his body, hoping that he would continue to serve him when he came back. It was very long-winded and it also described in detail the battles he fought. Almost all the ghost seals lit up, and a large number of ghost soldiers rushed out of the underground to plunder people's souls. Pan Zi heard my explanation and sighed: "It's so powerful, fortunately he died early, otherwise the Lu Kingdom would be unified by the six kingdoms."

I laughed, "That's not necessarily the case. Ancient people were very good at bragging. You, King Lu Shang, could borrow Yin soldiers, and who in Qi can still borrow heavenly soldiers. I remember there are also generals who can fly. You have always seen the Shanhai Jing."

"No matter what, I finally know whose fight we are fighting. However, with so many coffins here, which one is his?" Pan Zi asked.

I read the inscriptions on several other coffins, most of which were the same, all of which were the same. We counted and found that there were seven in total, which happened to be the Big Dipper. There was no record of the seven-mouth coffin. While I was studying some other inscriptions that I couldn't understand, Dakui called out on the side, "Look, this sarcophagus has been opened by someone."

I walked over and saw that the coffin board was not 100% sealed from the coffin, and there were many places on the coffin with very new prying bars. Uncle San took out our prying bar from his bag, pried open the coffin board bit by bit, and then took the lamp to shine in. Pan Zi made a strange sound and looked at us, and was confused: "Why is there a foreigner inside?"

When we saw that it was indeed a foreigner inside, not only a foreigner, but also very fresh. It was definitely less than a week since he died. Pan Zi wanted to reach out to get things, but the oil bottle grabbed his shoulder. It seemed that he used a lot of strength. Pan Zi grinned in pain, "Don't move, the master is under him!"

We looked carefully and found that there was a corpse under the foreigner, and we couldn't see clearly what it looked like. Uncle San took out the black donkey's hoof and said, "It should be a black hair, so it's better to start first."

At this time, Dakui pulled my clothes behind me and pulled me aside.

He was usually quite happy, and I felt strange. When I asked him what was wrong, he pointed to the wall opposite, and a few of us were cast by the mine lamp and said softly: "Look, this is your shadow, right?"

I said angrily: "What, now I'm afraid of shadow?"

His face was not very good. After hearing what I said, his mouth trembled a little. I thought to myself, no, I am really afraid to this extent. He waved his hand and told me not to speak, and then pointed at those shadows: "This is mine, this is Pan Zi's, this is the third master's, this is the young master's, you have seen it all? In addition, you have 5 of them in total, right?"
