Ghost Blowing Lamp II

Chapter 56 number is "0"

The ancient bronzes that have never entered the water and soil have been passed down to the present. They are all purple with cinnabar spots on the bottom, and even these spots have become raised, like fine cinnabar. Cook them in a large pot with boiling water. The longer the cooking time , the more obvious the spots are, if it is a fake, the spots will be boiled away after such a test, so it is very easy to distinguish.

I saw that the copper box was crystal clear, and when I illuminated it with an engineer flashlight, the thin light seemed to be almost transparent, so I guessed that it was probably an ancient object buried under the soil or salvaged from the water. Is this the copper box under the Wong Tai Sin Temple? As far as I have heard, there are many legends about this object, but none of them seem to be able to explain clearly.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help being dazed for a while, the fat man felt curious, and raised his hand to open the box to have a look. In fact, I also wanted to see what happened, but I knew it was not a joke, and God knew what evil was hidden inside, so I quickly pressed the copper box Said: "Let's look for medicines first. What's so good about these four old rags? Don't forget that so many people in this research institute died unexplained. You don't need to touch this thing." But I pressed my hand subconsciously. When I got to the copper box, I felt that the copper box was very light, and it shook when I pushed it, which meant that the inside was empty, and the things released from it may still remain in this building.

I shook the green and bone-built copper box, and the copper had long since evaporated in the water and soil, leaving only a fraction of the original copper bone, so I started very lightly, feeling that the inside was empty, not at all. There is nothing, which is not surprising. The Japanese bandits who have been looking for mud dug up the ancient relics. Naturally, they were not sealed and stored, and they must have been opened as soon as they got them.

There are a large number of violent deaths in the institute. Judging from the suicide notes of the Russians, a major accident happened here just after Nierhui transported the copper box from the mountain, although the cause of death of these people cannot be determined It has something to do with it, but it probably cannot be separated from it. Although everything in this building is quiet, and the yellow leather who wanted to kill us has been cleaned up, we still have to stay here for a while after all, so we must not be careless. Maybe this What clues will be left in the empty box, check and understand, so that we can be mentally prepared in advance no matter what we encounter in the future.

Thinking of this, I didn't stop the fat man anymore, and asked him to lift the lid of the box, and took two photos with the engineer lighting tube inside. It was indeed empty, and there were only some black sawdust left at the bottom of the box. We glanced at each other, Looking at each other speechlessly, I can't guess what is going on here?Fatty kicked the copper box aside, we wanted to continue looking for medicines in this warehouse, so Ding Sitian was asked to sit on the wooden box at the door to rest for a while, and Lao Yangpi stayed there to watch her.

Lao Yangpi is really real, I just asked him to sing for Ding Sitian to cheer him up, and he is still humming and not listening, in his place: "Riding a white horse, running on the beach, I don't have a mother-in-law, you don't have a man, we two A bunch of garlic is made into a bunch of garlic, whistling, born in the soil and rotten in the soil..." Amidst the hoarse white horse tune, the fat man and I searched with a lamp, and opened one wooden box after another, but the contents inside It all took us by surprise.

The strangest thing is that I found a black wooden box in a box, and there is a glass bottle in the box. The bottle body is as shiny as new, but it looks like an ancient thing. There is a big blue skull in the bottle , the mouth of the bottle is only seven or eight centimeters, but the diameter of the skull is close to thirty centimeters. I don't know where it was put in, nor what the bottle is used for.

There is also a black ancient earthen pot, the body of which is engraved with various ancient Chinese charms. It looks ordinary, but it is very well preserved and sealed, and it seems to be extremely precious. This earthen pot reminds me of the one I have heard before One thing, before liberation, there was a businessman who was buying antiques in Beijing. Once he was buying antiques in the countryside, he accidentally got a black jar from a farmer in a village. There were many ancient seals engraved on it, which looked like talismans , I didn’t spend too much money at that time, I just collected it when I was collecting other antiques, but the shape of this ancient jar is unpretentious, and the color is very black. Although I can’t tell the origin of it, the antique dealer loves it very much. They don't sell them, but collect them by themselves, and store them at home with fresh water to grow flowers.

There was a very cold day, when the water dripped into ice. The antique dealer was busy that day, so he forgot to empty the water in the earthen pot. Thinking about it afterwards, he thought that the black pot would be cracked by freezing, but he didn’t expect to see it again in the next day. At that time, all the places with water in the yard froze, except for the pitch-black earthen jars. The antique dealer thought it was strange, so he poured in the water again and tried again. It was still not frozen at all all day long. If you poke your fingers into the tank, you can feel that the water inside is not cold.

If hot soup and tea are poured into this ancient tile pot, it will be as if it has just been boiled on the stove within a day. From then on, the merchant knows that this is a treasure and cherishes it very much. Later, when he was drunk, Unintentionally knocked the ancient earthen jar off the table and broke it into several pieces, and found that there is no difference between the tiles and ordinary pottery, but there is an interlayer, that is, two layers of jar walls, and in the interlayer is engraved a picture of a ghost crafted to urge fire. The ghostly craftsman with a green face and long fangs, holding a fan and lighting a fire, is extremely exquisitely and meticulously carved. The craftsmanship seems to be something that cannot be carved by manpower. A product of what age.

I heard that later there was a saying that this kind of utensils carved with mantras on the outside and ghosts on the inside were all secretly made in Chenzhou, Western Hunan, and the craftsmanship had long been lost. Fragments and the like were all unearthed from ancient tombs. At that time, I took this matter as a story, thinking that it was similar in nature to the story of the treasure gourd. The folk anecdotes are very similar, and the past and the present are consistent. It seems that many of the craftsmanship and wisdom of the ancients have indeed been lost, and only modern people admire them.

But at that time, although I thought it was new, I didn't feel that these ancient objects were of any value. Anyway, they all belonged to the category of the four old things. I just looked at them and put them back in their original places. Shaking his head, he signaled that he found nothing.

The fat man scratched his head strangely, and said to me: "There are all kinds of strange things hidden in this place. They are not worth eating or drinking, and none of them are useful."

I said: "It seems that these items were dug out by grave robbers. Most of them are good things that mud can do, and some may be obtained from folk looting. Anyway, they are all ancient objects. And I found these dilapidated and old things. They all have one characteristic. They must be scratching the ground to find an important object, which is probably the copper box for the soul-calling in the murals of Baiyan Cave. You can see that most of these objects are packed in copper boxes and wooden boxes. , and even a few copper coffins, which were probably dug out by mistake for the copper box related to this place, and there will be nothing we need in it."

Seeing that there was no harvest in this warehouse, we had no choice but to look for medicines elsewhere. All four of them were injured and exhausted, so they couldn't walk fast. Slowly rubbing forward, cables are pulled in this building, but the electricity has been lost. We don’t know what kind of motion is used to generate electricity in these buildings, and it is more important to find antidotes and wound medicines, so there is no time to find electricity Fortunately, there are two illuminating tubes that are good and bad, so it won't be completely dark.

Ding Sitian lay on the fat man's back and asked me in a daze if there were any ghosts in this building?I persuaded her not to think about it, the haunting before may have been caused by those two old yellow skins, but I was also thinking in my heart, this building was built just under the cave, from the outside, you can see the In the cross-section of the hillside, there are several huge stone beasts buried, which are exactly the same as the legend of the ghost yamen. It is said that there is the entrance of the ghost gate. When I think of the black ancient earthen jar, I feel that some legends are not groundless. The name is so named, there must be a reason, since it is called the ghost yamen, are there really ghosts in the cave?
I secretly told myself, it is better not to mention these things any more, if I mention them too much, if there are ghosts, then even if there are no ghosts, then it must be a ghost. Although there is no light in this corridor, it is already early in the morning. During the day, it is even less likely that there will be ghosts. I searched from room to room while looking for some reasons for myself to keep my mentality stable.

The underground facilities of this research institute are divided into two floors. The scale of the bottom floor is much larger than that of the first floor. The corridors are marked with red paint numbers. This area may be classified as a confidential facility. If it is not for these numbers, it is easy to get lost while walking inside, but Now that they have penetrated into the core area of ​​the research institute, whether Ding Sitian's life can be saved depends on one fell swoop, so they have to start a blanket search.

I also have doubts, that is, the construction of such a large-scale secret research facility by the Japanese army may not be as simple as developing poisonous gas and bacteria. There may be even more amazing secrets and research projects, but these things are too complicated, and what we have learned What I saw and heard was just the tip of the iceberg, and I had no clue at all. The more I thought about it, the more I felt a headache. There seemed to be many bugs crawling back and forth in my head, and I just walked forward thinking wildly, and followed the other three people unconsciously. , came to the end of a wide passage, there is a round gate with a striking red logo "0" on it.

The iron door is half-closed and unlocked. This door is completely different from the ones we have seen nearby. These basements are different in size and have different purposes. After checking along the way, there seems to be no pattern at all. I used a lighting tube I scanned in at the door, and found that the darkness seemed to be very deep, and the space was much larger than I imagined, so I decided to go in and have a look, but the situation inside was unknown, and I didn't know if there was any danger, so I let the fat man stay in the room. The door answered, and I went in alone to explore the way.

The fat man’s wound started to hurt again. He rubbed his neck and said to me: “You only have one arm to move and still want to engage in individual heroism? You should understand that the strength of the collective is invincible, so why don’t I go in with you , Let the poor and lower-middle peasants stay and take care of Si Tian, ​​​​we still have nothing to worry about."

We came in from the outside. Although there are many corpses in this building, there is no danger. What if there is something inside the "zero" door, I really can't handle it based on my current situation. If the fat man is alone If someone goes in, he will be more dangerous if he is reckless. It would be safer for him and me to take care of him, so I thought about it and agreed.

We left the Kangxi sword to Lao Yangpi and asked him to take good care of Ding Sitian. No matter what happens inside, we will not go in, and we will not go too far. We will return immediately after we find out the situation. Then I took the scabbard, The fat man held the bastard box with two bullets left. The two opened the iron door and walked in one after the other.

As soon as I landed, I felt my feet go soft. I took a photo with the engineer lighting tube, and saw that the ground was not a concrete floor, but covered with red soil. I poked a few times into the soil with a scabbard. I couldn't poke it to the bottom, the dirt and ridges all over the ground were uneven, and it turned out to be a bit like a vegetable garden.

The air inside is humid and cold, and there seem to be many impurities in the air. Although it doesn't feel like breathing, it has already interfered with the range of the engineer's lighting tube. The lighting distance has been shortened by nearly double, and the light is almost swallowed by the darkness. Cleaned up, we dared not go any further, and groped along the iron gate marked with "0" to the wall. Surprisingly, the walls here were made of adobe bricks, and they were connected to the top wall. It is arc-shaped, resulting in a spacious basement that is high in the middle and bottom on both sides. The earth bricks are retracted upward, layer by layer, and overlapped. The shape looks more like a cave dwelling or a cellar.

The fat man and I thought it was a devil's vegetable cellar, but no matter how we looked at it, we felt that it was wrong. There were many bumpy bumps on the earthen bricks, which were connected together, as if something was covered with mud on the wall. Seeing this I guess it's impossible to find any medicines here. This doesn't look like a good place. The ghost knows what kind of weird activities it is doing. It's better to withdraw it and find a way to find it elsewhere.

We were about to exit when we suddenly felt a noise above our heads and a gust of cold wind. We hurriedly lowered our heads to dodge. In the short-term light of the lighting tube, we saw a white figure hanging down from the ceiling We couldn't see where the man's feet were hanging, only his hands and head were hanging upside down in front of our eyes, flickering as if he was about to reach out and grab someone.

The fat man and I quickly grabbed the scabbard at the same time, poked it on the opponent's head and pressed it against the wall. The engineer lighting tube on the chest just shone on the man's face, which was not a living person's face at all, surprisingly It was white, so dry that it began to sink, and the nails on both hands were curled up, twisting and trembling slightly.
