Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 78
The woman kept her back to Feng Gui's hand, as if motionless, but in fact, it seemed to be blown by a breeze, slowly backed away, and slid towards Feng Gui's hand.Feng Gui was shocked, he had seen a lot of zongzi, but he hadn't seen anything like this before, so he didn't dare to wait any longer, when he saw the woman backing away, he quickly gestured to us and prepared to run away.

Having said that, he looked at the narrow and dark ghost path, and said in a low voice, "But I stepped back, but it didn't catch up. I have seen many zongzi, and this is the first time I have encountered soft zongzi."

Tofu wondered, "Is the rice dumpling soft or hard?"

This statement is quite new, Feng Guishou saw that we didn't understand, so he explained the way.The so-called hard rice dumplings are the corpses from the tomb. They have a physical body, so they are called hard rice dumplings; 'The homonym.If the corpse is not decayed, well preserved, and there is no corpse, most people still like to call it 'salted fish'.

Soft zongzi refers to things that cannot be touched, such as ghosts in the tomb.In fact, in comparison, tomb robbers would rather encounter hard zongzi than soft zongzi.

Because in the long process of tomb robbery, the tomb robbers have summed up many methods to deal with hard rice dumplings, such as wiping the neck to deflate them, but it is difficult to deal with the invisible and intangible soft rice dumplings.

After Feng Guishou finished speaking, he cursed badly, and said, "It looks like she's still a female rice dumpling."

Tofu is best at scaring himself. He said: "There used to be a saying in our hometown that female ghosts are fierce, and red clothes are wronged. This female ghost is wearing red clothes. Could it be that there is some huge injustice? That is really embarrassing." , what shall we do now? There is a female ghost blocking the way, should we go forward?"

I looked into the sacrificial pit, and saw those strange corpses in various poses, twisted and piled up together, with their black mouths wide open, and some of them had very strange faces.With so many people buried alive, it's no wonder that they were not wronged. It is inevitable that some people will not let go of their grievances and become the wronged ghosts in red clothes.

How can this be good?

Although Feng Guishou has a lot of experience, it is the first time he has encountered soft rice dumplings.Not to mention me and tofu, there is no theory, no practice at all, and it is the first time I encounter this kind of thing, and I am like a headless chicken.When I was in a hurry, I suddenly remembered something and said, "No. Think about it, there is a female ghost blocking the front, if Wei Nanjing and the others get here, it must be the same as what happened to us, and it stands to reason that we should retreat. "

Doufu was clever, and he understood in an instant, followed my words to speculate, and said: "But if they didn't come back, there is only one possibility, and that is that they kept going. How did they avoid the female ghost? Could it be that there is something wrong?" The unique skill to deal with soft rice dumplings? Or is there some secret passage? Hmm...or, they have already..."

The more Feng Guishou listened, the more ugly his face became. He clapped his hands and anxiously circled back and forth on the spot.

The three conclusions drawn by Tofu are exactly the same as what I thought. Of course, I don't want Wei Nanjing and the others to have any problems.Maybe there really is a secret passage here?It stands to reason that there should be an immortal way next to the ghost way. Could it be that this fairy way is hidden?Thinking of this, I couldn't help turning my head around to look around. The searchlight on my forehead followed my line of sight, the beam of light circled around, and there was nothing but the dark stones around.

At this moment, a strange thing suddenly caught my eye.

It was a large recess in the dark at the top of the burial pit.The light in that place was dim, we didn't notice it before, but now we looked carefully, there was something faintly in that recess.I shook Tofu's head and motioned him to turn on the light. The two lights merged into one, and the things inside could be seen clearly in no time.

It was a very odd object.

It looks like a small tripod, copper green, with a circle of iron chains around it, and is fixed above the sacrificial pit.The small cauldron is not big, only the size of three basketballs, with three legs underneath, and the feet are red, as if something has been brushed on it.

As soon as I saw the cauldron, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and there was a clue that flashed by, but it was hard to grasp.I moved Tofu's head, twisted his jaw to try to break free, and said in his mouth: "Let go, don't use my head as a flashlight. There is a small tripod over there, which is really strange. Put the tripod on the sacrificial pit, Could it be used to cook human flesh?"

Boil human flesh?The three words of tofu instantly reminded me, and that fleeting clue was immediately recalled by me.

I sorted out Grandpa's work diary and divided it into five parts.The first part is his own experience of digging mushrooms, mixed with explanations of various techniques.The second part is some introductions, talking about some strange people and strange things in the tomb robbery circle throughout the ages, similar to history.The third part records Yang Fang's ability to look at the tomb and watch the mountains and waters.The fourth part is the introduction of Ming artifacts, which records many unique methods to identify the grade of Ming artifacts, and the fifth part talks about the internal situation and structure of many mausoleums.

Therefore, I classified my grandfather's work notes into experience, history, feng shui, artifacts, and situations.

In the chapter on the situation, such a "corpse raising bureau" was recorded.This is a means used to guard the tomb.The process is to add a small tripod above the sacrificial pit.The tripod is very particular, it must be a bronze tripod, and the bottom of the tripod is painted with red cinnabar, because cinnabar can suppress ghosts, so the ghosts in the burial pit cannot leave the burial pit because of the cinnabar top on their heads.

These ghosts who died in the burial gathered in one place, filled with resentment, and finally accumulated on the small cauldron above. These resentments, like flames, were cooking the things in the cauldron.

What's in the tripod?
There are a lot of particularities about this, there are those who put chickens, dogs, and people in the tripod.

I don't know what will happen to the dogs, but I know that the chickens will be released.It is to take a big rooster, tie its mouth, and put it alive into the small tripod.After a long time, the chicken will naturally starve to death. During this process, the chicken will be cooked by resentment, and eventually it will become a "black feather ghost chicken". It is terrible to be drawn out by its cry and die. This is a trap set for grave robbers.

As soon as I explained the doorway, Tofu clicked his tongue and said, "It's too cruel, there is such a 'ghost mechanism', Lao Feng, it seems that your ancestor didn't bless you." I listened to Tofu I couldn't help but think of the stick of burning incense, and I can only lament the bad luck for a while, but at this time, talking about the long and short will only make everyone more uncertain, so I didn't mention it.

Feng Guishou didn't care about Tofu's jokes. When he heard me mention this, he immediately seemed to grasp a glimmer of hope, and said with a happy expression: "Since you know the origin of this game, do you know if there is any solution to it?" Method?"

I thought about it, and shook my head. Although it was recorded at the time, there was no solution in it.It is said that if you want to raise a corpse, you must kill [-] people and be buried. The owner of the tomb must be a powerful person, otherwise it will be difficult to raise the corpse.When you encounter this tomb, if you don't have one or two capable people around you to help you, you need to leave quickly.

Feng Guishou heard the words and said, "What kind of capable people do we need?"

"Professional Taoists who exorcise ghosts." I didn't believe there was such a person before, but now it seems that there must be Taoism if there are ghosts. It's just that there are too many cheaters in the world. Where can I find it?Even if there is, it will not be able to quench the near thirst.

Tofu was probably thinking about the curse, so he said to me: "No, we can't just return in vain. If you don't figure it out this time, you will follow your father's old path one day. Is there no other way? This Are chickens or dogs raised in the tripod?"

Feng Guishou looked at the end of the ghost path and said, "Probably neither a chicken nor a dog. In that cauldron, people are cooked."

Or how to say is a veteran, Feng Guishou immediately figured out the reason.If the prediction was correct, the red-clothed ghost he saw should be a human-shaped ghost boiled out of resentment. From this, it can be seen that what was boiled in the cauldron should be a human being.It is said that when boiling a human, only the head is boiled, and when the human is alive, a hole is made on the top of the human head and cinnabar is poured into it.

Cinnabar can trap a person's soul in the brain, and on the seventh day after being infused with cinnabar, the head is cut off and thrown into the cauldron, which is extremely cruel.

The evil spirits raised in this way are very powerful, and they will never die when they meet living people.
