Ghost Blowing Lantern II - Chapter 282 Lingxing Gate

On the cliff covered with jade fragments, there was a dark, ghostly thing that was about to climb out of the wall. Then I felt a blur in front of my eyes. I didn’t even have time to blink. The thing in the jade wall was The ghost was already in front of me, and I saw a dark face with distorted features struggling to come out, standing out coldly in front of the three of them.

I knew something was wrong and couldn’t control the candle in my hand, so I quickly turned my head to avoid it. The plank road embedded in the cliff was very narrow and steep, so people couldn’t move too much, otherwise they would fall into a deep ravine or be squeezed. The companion next to me knocked me down, so even though I dodged to the side to avoid it, I only just managed to avoid the ghost that suddenly jumped out of the jade wall.

With the rapid movement of my body, the beam of the tactical spotlight lost its illumination effect in an instant, and I felt a piece of fluffy stuff scratching close to the skin and across the side of my face, causing a burning pain on my cheek.

At this time, the fat man shouted, and the engineer took his turn to smash the shovel. The shovel head was swept by the strong wind, passed over my head, and hit the black shadow in the jade wall. There was a loud “dang” sound that shocked him. The tiger’s mouth was numb, but although the fat man shot quickly, the engineer’s shovel missed the target. The seemingly invisible black shadow was as fast as a wisp of black smoke, and it burrowed into the soil and jade pieces with a “swish” among the gaps.

The plank road above the Lingxing Hall of the Earth Immortal Tomb once again returned to deathly silence. Only our heavy breathing and the pounding of our hearts were left. Only then did the scratched wound on my face start to shed blood. Come.

After the lightning-like contact just now, I can already confirm that it is definitely not the kind of visual and auditory hallucinations caused by the belly fairy finger fan. There is indeed something terrible hidden in this wall full of ancient jade, but It has been sealed by the soil for hundreds of years and can move within the wall. I have never seen such a thing in my life. Could it be that it is really the “ghost” depicted in “Walking with a Candle at Night”?

Shirley Yang and Yao Meier were standing far away and did not see what happened clearly, but Sun Jiuye saw it clearly. He whispered: “It is definitely not a ghost. Most of the time, dead souls and ghosts are electromagnetic field phenomena. It’s impossible to leave such a wound on your face, that thing might be the Corpse Immortal in Coffin Mountain, which was what Feng Shigu was looking for back then!”

I don’t believe in any “corpse fairy”, but other than that, I can’t explain what the ghost in the jade wall is. At least I can conclude that it is definitely not a “creature”. Anything alive can never be It has been sealed in the soil for hundreds of years but is still active. Even zombies cannot change their shape and crawl into the rock crevices.

Shirley Yang told us: “The scrolls and pictures left by Earth Immortal Feng Shigu all avoid talking about the things in Lingxing Palace, and “Walking with Candles at Night” only depicts this tomb passage embedded in the wall. We still don’t know. Knowing what is in the tomb of the Earth Immortal, I think the only way to know the truth is to enter the tomb of Guanshan Taibao to investigate.”

Professor Sun nodded and said: “Anyway, we can’t get out of Coffin Mountain. There are corpse immortals near the plank road and jade wall, which is not a safe place. It is said that if we don’t do it, we should go in and completely destroy Feng Shigu’s coffin.” It’s a weapon, but I’m still worried that our actions have been noticed by the Earth Immortal, and entering the Lingxing Palace is equivalent to letting it out.”

I was worried that the “corpse fairy” hidden in the jade wall would pop out of nowhere and hurt people, so I advised Sun Jiuye not to hesitate any longer. Although our equipment is limited, don’t forget that there is another kind of creature in the world. The most important equipment – spirit. As long as you have the belief that you will win, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome. After that, he dragged him and continued towards the deeper part of the underground plank road. Since the cold smoke and fire had been exhausted, he could not detect the depth of the cave in the Pangu Mountains. , I had to fumble my way down.

This time, everyone was extra careful. They no longer dared to easily touch the soil with the jade buried on both sides. After walking underground for a while, they found that there were more ancient jade at their feet, and there were all different shades of jade between the two walls. The jade caves are filled with countless small coffins, most of which are broken and destroyed, and none of them are complete. It seems that there is a huge natural jade material in the heart of the Pangu vein, and all jade bricks and jade biscuits are mined from it. It was also repaired and dug into a jade cave.

If you look at the Feng Shui situation, this Pangu Divine Vein lying on its back in the coffin mountain is pregnant with chalcedony, just like a jade elixir condensed with golden water in its belly. It is the combination of the five elements of heaven and earth. . The wonders of the creation of heaven, earth, ghosts and gods are beyond common sense, so it is not surprising to see anything in this mountain.

I secretly wondered in my heart, thinking that the Earth Immortal Feng Shigu was hiding at the end of this plank road. I didn’t know whether this person was dead or alive. Did he really transform into an immortal in the Pangu Divine Vein? Can we handle it with just the few of us? Thinking of this, I touched the “Guixu Gua Mirror” hidden in my arms. I can’t fully believe the “ancient bronze mirror” that can suppress corpses. I can’t rely solely on bronze mirrors. It’s safer to burn them with kerosene. .

At this moment, you can already feel that the plank road is coming to an end. The lighting range of the spotlights and wolf-eye flashlights has reached the ground below. Viewed from the side, the jade cave looks like a long-diameter flask. It is narrow, but when you reach the bottom, you find that it is very open and has a unique cave.

It was so dark in the cave that I couldn’t even see my fingers. There were impurities in the air. The light beam illuminated by the lamp head could only reach four or five meters at most. It was impossible to see where the “Lingxing Palace” was. It was hard to suffer from the coldness of the lack of large-scale lighting. The fireworks were spinning around like a blind man touching an elephant. I suddenly remembered that Yao Meier once said that she brought the “fire turtle doves” in the Honeycomb Mountain, so I asked her if she could release a few here so that everyone could see the nearby terrain clearly. .

Yao Meier hurriedly rummaged through her backpack, and finally took out a bamboo tube. She took this one with her, and she didn’t have any more. I said don’t be reluctant to part with it. Good steel is used on the blade of the knife, and good wine is served at the state banquet. Now that my eyes are black, it is the time when it comes in handy. Let’s go to Liangzi.

The “Fire Turtle Dove” is a rocket fired by a spring. It has many uses. It can not only attack the enemy, but also communicate with signals. It is also extremely bright and can be used as an ancient flare. It is the predecessor of “Honeycomb Mountain” , a fire and salt-type hidden weapon passed down from the late Southern Song Dynasty.

Yao Meier held the “Fire Turtle Dove” in her hands. This concealed fire weapon was made by her godfather Li, the shop owner. It was said to be extremely powerful. She had never used it before and didn’t know if it would work, but she looked forward to the honeycomb. Grandpa Shan Patriarch showed up and asked me for a lighter immediately to light the fuse.

I saw that Yao Meier was planning to shoot the “Fire Turtle Dove” horizontally, and quickly asked the rest of the people to step aside. Just as everyone was about to take action, they suddenly heard a loud crashing sound on the cliff above. From the sound, it seemed like a mountain disaster had occurred. It collapsed, huge boulders slid down, and large tracts of scattered soil fell down.

Yao Meier was disturbed by the sound of falling rocks from above. It was her first time to fight upside down, and she was under great psychological pressure. When she raised her head to look around, she forgot that the “Fire Turtle Dove” in her hand had been lit. She heard the fuse chirp, and then she came to her senses. She was shocked. With a cry, he hurriedly raised his hand and raised the bamboo tube. The “Fire Turtle Dove” used a quick trigger. At this moment, the saltpeter fired. Amidst the shrill whistling of the wind, the Fire Turtle Dove that was pressed in the bamboo tube was immediately wrapped in the flames and flew away. soaring.

The “Fire Turtle Dove” spread out its fire wings more than half a meter long and shot into the air, making a long “Woo-Woo” sound. The fan-shaped fire suddenly pierced the darkness underground, pierced the mountain wall with its thorns, and nailed it to a plank road. Burning fiercely on the stone steps.

Although this “Fire Turtle Dove” was made in modern times, the craftsmanship of Honeycomb Mountain has long been in decline. It still maintains the manual workshop model of thousands of years ago, and the gunpowder formula and raw materials are still used in folk recipes, which is incompatible with modern methods. “Flare bombs” are not comparable to each other. They cannot shine for a long time, and the dazzling flames begin to dim in an instant.

But I still used this light to vaguely see the terrifying scene high up. The mountain above Coffin Mountain was severely eroded by the “Nine Death Jingling Armor”, and pieces of collapsed rock began to fall from the air. A few of them fell into the belly of Pangu’s corpse veins and slid down the deep ravine. Due to the huge rocks and the narrow ravine, they were stuck between the jade wall planks and did not directly hit the cave below. However, the rocks continued to slide down, shaking off a lot of the sealing soil on the steep walls on both sides. Large pieces of jade and stone coffins were exposed, and blurry “ghost shadows” suddenly appeared between the walls, seemingly heading towards The chalcedony cave at the bottom of the mountain was moved, and there was indeed more than one “Corpse Immortal” in the ancient tomb. The number was too large to be estimated, and people were stunned for a while.

At this time, the light of the “Fire Turtle Dove” dimmed quickly and was covered by the falling gravel and soil. It was immediately swallowed up in the darkness. The smoke and dust stirred up by the rocks rose sharply and landed on everyone’s heads with a loud bang. We were unable to dodge. Choked by the dust, he coughed for a while, fearing that he would be hit by a large rock, so he hurriedly retreated into the depths of the cave.

I brushed off the layer of dust that fell on my mountaineering helmet with my hands, and saw that the other people were also looking dusty and embarrassed. Everyone had just seen the situation above the cave, and their hearts seemed to be weighed down by huge rocks. In this tomb of the Earthly Immortal, I’m afraid there is no safe place. Now that I’m here, how should I care?

When Yao Meier released the “Fire Turtle Dove” just now, she was forced to sit down on the ground by the gunpowder in the back seat. She saw several dark monsters deep in the cave, and she couldn’t see them clearly in the light of flint. It seemed that there were stone beasts holding the mausoleum in front of the tomb door. If you find them, you can determine the direction of the tomb door, so she took us for a few steps in the dark. Sure enough, in the corner not far away, we saw a black iron statue with scales and horns. beast.

Sun Jiuye said that this was probably the “Iron Qilin” recorded in history books. It was a kind of lighting facility in the underground palace of the emperor’s tomb. But I wonder if the Iron Qilin still has fuel in its belly, and how is it used?

I also know that this iron unicorn is called “Qilin Locking Dragon Lantern”. The lamps and candles in ancient tombs are similar to each other. They are nothing more than “eternal life candles and ten thousand year lamps” in the netherworld. It is difficult to turn on this kind of unicorn lamp and specialize in fighting upside down. Colonel Mojin, who was working for a living, immediately touched the front of the iron unicorn’s animal head, found the nose ring, and pulled it outward with force. He heard several “clicks” in the belly of the iron unicorn, and billowing flames came out from the seams of the iron unicorn’s armor.

The four legs of the Qilin Locking Dragon Lantern are sunk into the ground, and there are oil channels connecting each other. When the fire started here, other iron Qilin spit out flames and burned one after another nearby. Dotted around the cave, there were dozens of them. Everything was brightly illuminated, but the unicorn-locked dragon lantern in front of Lingxing Palace was unusual. The flame it ignited was not ointment, but a dark, cold phosphorus fire, making the underground cave look like a ghost cave.

Looking through the light, there is a tall door wall deep in the cave. The two tomb doors are tightly closed. There are many copper nails inlaid on them, nine vertically and ten horizontally, arranged like stars in the underworld. , only outsiders can use the “Lingxing”. There are two rows of clay sculptures standing in front of the door, both of which look like yellow scarf warriors. They have divine heads and grimaces, guarding the deepest secrets of “Dixian Village” motionlessly.

I saw Mr. Sun Jiu next to me with a pale face. He was looking at the “Lingxing Gate” and mumbling to himself. I didn’t know what he was talking about. I thought that since there was a mountain between me and my belly, I still had to watch out for anything unusual about him. Action, after all, this old guy has too many secrets, only a ghost knows which words in his mouth are true and which are false.

The fat man urged me and said, “Old Hu, hurry up and leave. We are here with our tails.” Hearing this, I knew something was wrong. I quickly looked up and saw countless shadowy figures in the flickering will-o’-the-wisps. The “Corpse Immortals” are struggling to climb out of the wall, and they are constantly rushing towards the Lingxing Palace underground. The light reflected by the Linhuo on them seems to be completely swallowed up by the black mist-like ghosts. The firelight shines in front of the underground palace. The cave became dark again.

Seeing that I was almost driven into a corner, I didn’t even have time to stop and take a breath, so I couldn’t help cursing secretly, what the hell is the “corpse fairy” hiding underground? How could such a thing exist in the world? A terrifying situation that we couldn’t even dream about in our nightmares actually happened to us in the “Dixian Village Ancient Tomb”.

I thought to myself, “A good man never suffers the loss of his eyes.” This sentence is not “truth” but the most basic “common sense”, so I shouted to everyone: “It’s important to go to the tomb first to find the Earth Immortal Feng Shigu. Don’t fight with them here.” Be more entangled…” After saying this, he called on the other four people to run towards the “Lingxing Gate”.

The five of us knew that our lives were at stake, and no one dared to neglect it. We ran to the tomb door and shook the stone door with all our strength. The “Lingxing Gate” was carved from the fossilized iron tree with thousands of years of history. It was very hard and heavy, but it was not filled with copper or lead. After sealing the door, everyone used all their strength to finally push half of the stone door open to a gap. There was a sinister atmosphere inside. Although it was pitch dark, no ambush was found.

I saw that although the gap in the tomb door was narrow, it could already allow people to enter, so I and the fat man pushed Yao Meier and others in first, and then I tightened my belly and raised my breath and squeezed towards the Lingxing Gate. After the fat man entered, I immediately went back Pushing back the door of the tomb, I greeted him while pushing the door: “Comrades, please show some class friendship and come and help us!” I stopped him and said, “Don’t waste your efforts, Earth Immortal’s tombstone door can’t stop you at all. Those guys outside, get back inside quickly.”
