Ghost Blows Out the Light

The underground canyon is like the hell at the bottom of the abyss. There are huge and huge prehistoric skeletons everywhere. Compared with those skeletons, the scattered and collapsed stone pillars are insignificant, and most of them are buried in the gray-white soil layer. At that time, everyone didn't realize that there were relics of human architecture here. It wasn't until Axiang pointed out that there was a huge black statue behind us, and then they realized that there were so many stone pillars around.

There are some bull’s nostrils chiseled on the stone pillars, and some still have stone rings as thick as the arms. The most eye-catching thing is the eye totems on the stone pillars. We have seen these totems countless times, and they are not uncommon. I saw it again here, and I didn’t think there was any surprise. The totems of the eyeballs, except for the very peculiar ones at both ends of the altar, one end is a closed eye, and the other end is a bleeding eye, the rest are all similar, and the one on this stone pillar is It belongs to the more common pattern, and I don't see any difference.

But after seeing the totems on these stone pillars, Shirley Yang seemed to have noticed something abnormal, so he had to look carefully at A Xiang's eyes. Shirley Yang probably wanted to avoid A Xiang's nervousness, so she used a negotiating tone, and it was okay to talk in peacetime. different.

Ah Xiang nodded her head in agreement, with a timid expression on her face, probably she also felt puzzled, what does it mean to look carefully at the eyes?So Shirley Yang held her breath, stood at a very close distance, and stared intently at Ah Xiang's eyes, as if looking for something in her eyes.

I understand that although Shirley Yang said it lightly, there must be something wrong with us that we didn't think of. The behavior of this girl, Axiang, is indeed not quite right. Eyes, maybe it’s just like what Uncle Ming said, she’s hit the evil, maybe she’s not the Ah Xiang we know now, it’s more likely that her eyes have some kind of connection with E Luo Haicheng, could she be ours? Where is the ghost mother and concubine next to her?

I guessed wildly in my mind, turned around a few thoughts, but it didn't seem to be the same. I saw Shirley Yang staring at Axiang's eyes, so I also went over to have a look with the fat man, wanting to see what was in Axiang's eyes. , but after looking at it for a long time, I didn't see anything strange.

At this time, Shirley Yang seemed to have found the answer from Ah Xiang's eyes. She first told Ah Xiang not to worry, nothing would happen, and then let us look at the eyes on the stone pillars, although they looked similar to the rest of the totems in "Evil Luohai City" They are very similar, but there is one detail that is unique. The pattern in front of the eyes here has a circle of linear red bumps outside the pupil. Shirley Yang said that if you look at Ah Xiang's eyes, there are similar things.

Only then did I realize that I hadn't noticed the subtle difference. If I looked closely at Ah Xiang's pupils, I would find that there were really bloodstains in them, like a thread surrounding them. We can't see clearly at all. If Ah Xiang hadn't broken into this cave, we might not have found this place, and her eyes are similar to the totem here. Did she lure us here on purpose?But in front of Ah Xiang, I didn't say that.

Shirley Yang knew that what happened just now would easily confuse everyone, and they would inevitably doubt Ah Xiang. Shirley Yang didn't believe in the theory of reincarnation of eyes at all, so he explained that the bioelectricity emitted by the human body through the eyes is only about [-]% of V. It is very weak, but everyone's body is different, and their ability to sense bioelectricity is also different. Ah Xiang's eyes can sense things that ordinary people can't capture. Although this is very special, there are many people like her in the world today. For a person with a special physique, there must be something near the black giant elephant that can be close to the bioelectricity in Ah Xiang's eyes, so she was subconsciously drawn here. The totem on the stone pillar is the best evidence.

After hearing this, Uncle Ming hurriedly said, as long as it's okay, let's go north quickly, leave this place as soon as possible, and don't worry about what the hell is here...

Uncle Ming had just finished speaking halfway, when Ah Xiang suddenly said: "Useless godfather, there is no way to go, there are many poisonous snakes chasing after us, we will all die, I... I am afraid of snakes, I don't want to be killed Snake bites to death..." As he spoke, tears began to flow.

Ah Xiang's words surprised everyone, how could you just come?Thinking of those black snakes in the white tunnel of Thunder Mountain, it is creepy. If you encounter a group of snakes in this underground canyon, there is no place to hide. Running forward is not a way, how can you run on two legs? Overcoming those black snakes that swim like the wind, the ancient walls on both sides are like knives, and even apes can't climb it.

At this time, the sound of snakes swimming in the cave in the east and the gap between the rock crystal veins has been faintly heard. Uncle Ming's face was ashen, and he grabbed my arm: "Brother Hu, this time I can count on you. Go north according to your advice, there is water in the north, and there will be a way of life if there is water, if you didn't listen to your advice and turned back, you will probably be buried in the belly of a snake now, let's run north for our lives." As he spoke, he wanted to pull Follow me to run forward.

I hurriedly held down Uncle Ming's hand: "Don't panic, there is a flat river in front of you, you will surely die if you escape, I think I have to go to the black giant statue first, seal the cave entrance to block the snake, and then think of other ways to escape."

The sound of the snakes swimming was like a frenzied tide. Before I saw the shape, I was already frightened by the sound, and I couldn't allow any delay. I let the fat man carry Ah Xiang on his back, and grabbed Uncle Ming to let him go. With big strides, we ran to the hole at the bottom of the black colossus. The inside of the tall statue was hollowed out, and the light was very dark. We scanned the surroundings with a flashlight. There are wooden and stone buildings with many floors on top. The shape can go directly to the top of the giant statue.

The swarm of black snakes was approaching, and it was too late to take a closer look at the situation inside. The fat man threw Ah Xiang on the ground, and moved two large stone slabs with me and Uncle Ming, blocking the way, and plugging the gaps with gravel. Then I heard the snakes flocking to the door, blocking the door, I felt tense and my legs were a little weak. Fatty and I used to catch snakes in the wild, but this kind of black snakes are not only numerous, Moreover, it swims like electricity, and its toxicity is so fierce that it can be said that it will die if it touches it, and it will die when it touches it.

Not only were we worried that there were other gaps in the colossus, but after everyone discussed it, it would be better to go up there. Relatively speaking, the upper side is safer. In order to save the use of light sources, we only turned on one headlight and one flashlight, It was only after walking that I realized that it was not safe at all. Many stone chambers that were not adjacent to each other were chiseled inside the colossus. It’s so small, I don’t think this is a place for people to live in. It’s too narrow and depressing. If people live in it, they may suffocate to death in a short time. It’s full of dust everywhere, and the air circulation is very poor. Poor, if the five of us spend a little longer in a small area, we will feel hypoxic and chest tight.

It wasn't until we climbed to the fourth floor that we felt a cool breeze coming in. In the dark corridor, following the cool air flow, we saw a one-meter-square hole, which was the middle and lower part of the colossus. One of the vents, because the whole of the statue is black, so it can't be seen from the ground. If it weren't for the fallen stone pillars, it would not even be easy to find the entrance at the bottom.

I lay down in front of the hole, leaned out and looked down from a height. The fluorescent light below was in a trance, and I could only see groups of twisted and wriggling black snakes, all gathered in the area under the statue, and the big ones had human arms. The thick and small snakes are shaped like willow leaves, with a black naked eye on their heads. Some of the snakes are lazily coiled, and some are fighting and biting each other. The more they gather, the more they see the wriggling things. Just disgusting.

Shirley Yang looked at it and said to us: "The behavior of these snakes is very strange. They don't seem to crawl in and attack us, but they seem to be waiting for something to happen?"

The fat man put Ah Xiang down, took a breath himself, and then said, "I think we'll wait for us to go down and cook for them." He raised his arm and looked at the time on the watch, and said, "Isn't it just time to eat?" Ah Xiang was terrified by the fat man's words, and sat on the ground with her arms around her knees and trembled. Seeing this, Uncle Ming was also a little out of his wits, and asked me what to do now. There was no food, and there was not much water in the kettle. Hiding inside the colossus, and the stone house inside the colossus gives people goosebumps, even Ah Xiang said it gave her a headache, we are in a desperate situation this time, and we can't fly out even with wings.

I'm also very uneasy, I can't go out outside, and the building in the belly of the black statue doesn't seem to be for people to live in. God knows what will happen here, but now we must stabilize everyone's emotions, so I found As an excuse to stabilize the morale of the army, I told everyone that not only the north belongs to water, but black in the five elements also represents water. These huge statues are all made of black stone, so they naturally belong to water, so I think we will hide here. life-threatening.

I suddenly thought of something, and then I told everyone that at the bottom of the canyon just now, we all saw a layer of volcanic cocoons on the stone pillars and fossilized bones, and there were many raised bumps on the ground, which should have erupted before Volcanic bombs, and the temperature is much higher than other places. These signs indicate that there is a volcanic belt here. Although we found an extinct volcano in the lake, it does not mean that the entire volcanic belt is dead. Snakes They like to be cold and cold. They all come from caves in the east. They never dare to get too close to the north. The smell of sulfur will become stronger as we go north. We just need to find a way to get rid of the snakes and escape for a mile or two. You can get out of trouble safely. I think you can use the materials here to make some torches to drive away the snakes.

Uncle Ming heard that there was a big flaw in my words, so he said: "No, the snakes here are all black, and it seems that they should also belong to water. Although I don't know how to count, I know that water can overcome fire." , so although snakes like the cold, they dare to come here, and we survive in water, how dare we light torches? Isn't this a violation of the taboo of confrontation and restraint?"

I thought to myself that this old Hong Kong farmer is really hateful, he dared to talk to me about the principle of the five elements, the principle of the five elements is like the principle of the wheel, no matter how you say it, it can be rounded, Hu Ye, I can stir up three points even if I am unreasonable Come on, can you get down on the ground?So he said to Uncle Ming: "The sky gives birth to water, the earth gives birth to fire, the sky gives birth to wood, the earth gives birth to gold, and the sky gives birth to earth. Even numbers in yin numbers are concubines, and in large numbers, yin and yang change positions, so concubines are made of five. Modern people only know that water can overcome fire, but they don't know that water is the wife of fire, and fire is the concubine of water. Today's people only know water It flourishes in the north, and the fire starts in the south, but you don’t know that the prosperity and decline of the five elements are related to the age stars. Uncle Ming, you only know that water can overcome fire, but you don’t know that if the fire flourishes and the water declines, the prosperous fire can still deceive the decline of water, which means you don’t understand In the ancient way, the statue we are in is tens of meters high. Compared with the black color of those snakes, we are prosperous water, and those snakes are decaying water, so our prosperous water can use fire to recede water, but the fire cannot flourish cross our water, or we too are in danger."

Uncle Ming's eyes were straightened, and it took a long time before he said: "It's too...too clever, so I often tell Axiang that if I marry someone in the future, I must marry Captain Mojin...or I will be worthless."

Shirley Yang suddenly waved his hand lightly, signaling to everyone to stop talking. There was movement outside, and we immediately became alert, and quietly moved to the entrance of the cave to spy on the movement below, but Shirley Yang did not want us to look at the snakes below. Pointing to the high cliff, there was a long string of small white lights on it at some point, dangling on the high place, and there were quite a few of them.

But the distance is too far, and the crystal veins on the mountain wall have gradually become scarce, and the fluorescence is gray, what is that?I rubbed my eyes hard, but I still couldn't see clearly, and it didn't look like a lamp, it seemed like countless small people in white clothes standing there. The colorful things rolled down from above and fell to the bottom of the canyon.

Snakes on the ground swam towards the falling white objects one after another. We were only a dozen meters above the ground, and we could see the things below quite clearly. We saw those large groups of things, all of which were sticky. The balls, the size of grape beads, the black snakes scrambled to squeeze past them, and then stopped moving around. Many bright red things suddenly appeared on those white objects, like red flowers blooming out of thin air. Then it disappeared again, flickering red and then dimming. The more and more people looked at it, the more they became more and more surprised. Then they watched intently, and then they saw that in a fossil skeleton embedded in the rock, there was a black snake several times larger than the same kind. It slipped out from the crevice of the rock, swallowed a blood-red snake letter, and saw that the snake's whole body had black scales and armor, and it opened its mouth to salivate. The poisonous fungus in the body will wither again in a blink of an eye, and it will die as it grows. The poisonousness of this snake is beyond people's imagination. The big snake snakes down from the bone, snakes to the middle of those white objects, and swallows them one by one. Next, the rest of the black snakes are standing quietly and respectfully, not daring to move a little bit, it seems that they will be theirs after their boss eats the leftovers.

The fat man wondered: "What is that? An egg?" Although I couldn't see it clearly, the big white object should be the eggs of something. It looked very much like a big termite, and there were many insects wrapped in it. , dead animals, I looked at the row of white little people on the high place, and I guessed that it was almost inseparable, and said to everyone: "The ones above are those Avalokitesvara, no wonder these black snakes endured The hot environment here is really what the fat man said, they are here to eat, and they will disperse when they are full. Let's wait patiently for the opportunity. Small beasts like Earth Guanyin are cruel and cunning by nature, and they are also very greedy. I like to store food, even if I don’t eat it, I will hide it deep, I can’t think of it, it’s cheap for the snakes.”

After hearing what I said, everyone let go of their hanging hearts. After all, those snakes were not coming towards us, and they probably didn't notice that we were hiding here. It won't be long before we can get out of danger, but Ah Xiang suddenly said: Said: "No, they have seen me...I can feel it." After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and remained silent, looking very helpless.

I heard Ah Xiang say it very solemnly, and she dare not joke about such things. Thinking of the bright red saliva from that poisonous snake, I couldn't help but see sweat on my forehead. The giant snake on the Dragon King Whale fossil is facing the entrance of the cave where we are.

I quickly retracted my body, yes, I can also feel that the snakes below must know our existence, but I don’t know if they intend to attack after eating the ant eggs, or because the god is a restricted area and dare not enter, I asked Fatty to stay at the entrance of the cave to monitor the movement of the snakes. Shirley Yang, Uncle Ming and I had to hurry up and make some torches. I went into a stone house next to the cave entrance and held up a flashlight to see if there were any. The utensils for storing oil have been used for a long time, but the yak fat or pine tree in ancient Tibet can be kept for a very long time, and it may be able to ignite fire. When we came up just now, we have already seen that there seems to be no lamps here, and there is no sky here. It is very unusual to have no lights on a sunny day.

With a bit of luck, I took a flashlight and took a look. The walls of the stone house were empty, but in the corner, there was an ancient jade mask without eye holes. Shirley Yang also found the same thing in another stone house. I asked Shirley Yang if this is the mask of the ghost mother of the Demon Kingdom. Those people can't see people with their faces. Could it be that the building in the colossus is for the ghost mother?

Shirley Yang said: "No, the status of the demon mother is very high. She must live in the temple of Eluohai City. It has been completely destroyed. You can see that the environment here is very bad. It may not be too much to call it a prison. , and the markings on the eyeballs are very special, similar to Axiang's eyes. Such eyes should not be ghost eyes. It takes several generations of ghost mothers to produce a person who can really see ghost holes. I wonder if this is used for... …Used to imprison those candidates whose eyesight does not meet the requirements? The stone pillars below have bull’s nostrils and stone rings, which are obviously used for cruel punishment. Those who are eliminated may be locked in the canyon to feed snakes .”

I nodded and said, "According to this, this place really looks like a prison, but about this point, I still have one biggest question I can't figure out..." As soon as I said this, the fat man hurriedly walked out of the cave. After crawling back, he asked me, "How are the torches ready? I see snakes have already started to sneak in here, so we have to hurry up if we want to light the fire." Before the fat man could answer, he suddenly lowered his voice and said to me. I said to Shirley Yang, "What do you see that little girl is tossing about?" I looked at Axiang behind me, she was in a dark corner, her back was facing us, and she herself was facing the black I was stroking the stone wall with my hands, trembling all over, and suddenly turned around to face us, with two lines of black blood flowing on my cheeks, slowly raised my arm, stretched out my index finger and pointed at the wall and said: "There's a woman here."
