"Go this way." Jiang Xia said as he led the way, "We have walked this section of the road several times, and the organs have been dismantled, so there is no danger."
Tang Xi walked behind him, and finally Gu Ran.
The tomb passage is not too narrow, allowing two people to walk side by side, but in order to have room for movement in case of danger, they are still staggered back and forth.
"By the way, is the owner of the tomb a man or a woman?" Gu Ran asked suddenly.
"The woman is a princess. The specific identity needs to be studied." Jiang Xia replied.
"Oh, then what you saw was a female ghost?" Tang Xi raised her eyebrows.
"No, no, it should be a man." Jiang Xia shuddered, his face turned slightly pale, and said, "But it's normal for such a high-status tomb owner to be buried with him, and it's more likely that he will be buried with his son-in-law What, it's just that we withdrew too hastily and didn't have time to confirm more, so Professor Jiang got angry."
"You take us to the tomb where we saw the ghost last time." Tang Xi said.
"Okay, okay." Jiang Xia swallowed nervously.
"It's okay, we're here." Tang Xi comforted with a laughing voice.
"Hmm..." Jiang Xia held the flashlight tightly to hide the fear in her heart.
"Speaking of which, we're going to fight later, right?" Gu Ran suddenly said, "In such a narrow place, if these murals, cultural relics, etc. are damaged, will we be caught by that old gentleman when we go out?" Your saliva sprayed to death?"
"This is absolutely impossible!" As soon as Jiang Xia encountered her major, she immediately forgot to even be afraid, and couldn't help raising her voice, "The things inside are priceless treasures, and the loss of even a little damage is immeasurable!"
"If you don't fight, are you going to reason with ghosts?" Gu Ran's eyes widened.
"Maybe he can reason." Tang Xi said casually.
"..." Gu Ran was silent for a while, and said quietly, "I said, the thousand-year-old ghost beside you, could it be that you fooled it in a reasonable way?"
"Which one are you talking about?" Tang Xi asked.
"Which one else? The one who played the piano in Southern Xinjiang... no! How many thousand-year-old ghosts are on your body!" Gu Ran realized halfway through speaking, and looked at her in horror.
"Xie Chang'an, do you want to say hello to him?" Tang Xi clapped his hands.
"No need, I'm not a fighter." Xie Chang'an chuckled.
But obviously Gu Ran heard it too, her body tensed up, and she almost drew her sword.
"Don't be surprised, I'm just giving you a reminder." Tang Xi turned her head, glanced at him coolly, and said angrily, "You know I'm from the lineage of controlling ghosts, so don't treat the ghosts around me." Such a big reaction, after all, they are helpers, not enemies."
"They..." Gu Ran could hear himself swallowing, and asked stiffly, "How many?"
"It depends on the need." Tang Xi said ambiguously. She didn't know Gu Ran well enough to show all her hole cards.
Jiang Xia, who was walking in the front, couldn't stop sweating, the clothes on her back were sticking to her skin wetly, being blown by the cold wind in the tomb passage, her heart felt cold.
This topic is really scary!
"Well, is there a landslide ahead?" Tang Xi asked.
"Yes." Jiang Xia settled down, "Last month, there was a rare torrential rain, which caused water and soil erosion. This ancient tomb was discovered because the rainwater poured into the tomb. The cultural relics were damaged, so rescue excavation was urgently carried out, who knows... "
"Wait a minute." Tang Xi stopped.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xia wondered, "The tomb passage here is blocked by landslides, we need to go around from the other side."
"I don't think it's right." Tang Xi frowned, turned on his Spike flashlight, and shone a beam of strong light on the collapsed mound.
"This place... doesn't seem right." Gu Ran stood beside her, squinting her eyes for a while and said.
"What, what's wrong?" Jiang Xia stammered, "Isn't it possible that the ghost ran out of this collapsed hole? But the hole was sealed immediately."
"The corpse is still in the tomb. Under normal circumstances, ghosts can't stay too far away from their own corpse." Tang Xi said, then turned his head and said, "Would you like to go up and have a look?"
"Why me." Gu Ran complained.
"Because I don't want to climb." Tang Xi said naturally.
But Gu Ran was really just complaining, and before she could answer, she had already unloaded the bag on her back, moved a bit, and dexterously climbed up the slope of more than 60 degrees.
"How is it?" Tang Xi held a flashlight below to illuminate him.
"As expected." Gu Ran replied quickly, "The entrance of the cave has been opened and then carefully sealed. The traces are very new, not more than a day old."
"Not more than a day?" Jiang Xia was taken aback, and blurted out, "Doesn't this mean that there are other people in the tomb besides us?"
"No surprise." Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, with a hint of disgust in her tone, "The news of the unearthed ancient tomb leaked out here, but the archaeological team temporarily evacuated for unknown reasons, and no one stayed behind, which happened to be given to some tomb robbers. Thief of opportunity."
"So those tomb robbers are still inside?" Jiang Xia couldn't help lowering his voice.
"It should be right." Gu Ran jumped down, patted the dust on his hands, lifted his backpack and threw it on his shoulders, explaining, "The last trace of the cave was opened from the outside and covered with soil from the inside, which means that someone came in and didn't come back. Go out the same way. If it’s less than a day, it’s very likely that you’re still inside.”
"I'm really not afraid of death." Tang Xi sneered.
Jiang Xia froze for a moment before remembering, this seems to be... a haunted ancient tomb
This unlucky tomb robber has been in there for almost a day, is he still alive
"Let's go, continue to lead the way." Tang Xi patted him on the shoulder.
"Oh." Jiang Xia turned around and used a flashlight to illuminate another tomb passage, "We have to go this way, but we haven't had time to dismantle all the organs here..."
"But it seems that someone has helped us dismantle it." Tang Xi interrupted him.
Jiang Xia looked at the clear footprints left on the ground and was speechless.
This section of the tomb passage was once poured with muddy water, and after it dries out, there is a thick layer of mud on the ground. As long as someone walks past, it is impossible not to leave footprints.
The rows of orderly footprints look like they have been around for some time, but the top is covered with rows of fresh messy footprints.
"Men, about 1.7 meters tall, quite thin, suitable for the needs of tomb robbers. There are two or three of them, and their bodies are not much different." Tang Xi glanced at them and said.
"How do you know?" Gu Ran asked in surprise.
"Read more." Tang Xi glanced at him pityingly.
"What?" Gu Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"I'm a policeman, and I'm a policeman in the Serious Crime Squad." Tang Xi added.
Gu Ran was stunned for a moment before remembering, and hesitated again, the knowledge of trace inspection seems to be quite useful? Do you want to study it
The three walked along the tomb passage for a while, and they saw these short iron-cast arrows scattered on the ground.
"It seems that the technology is not bad?" Tang Xi couldn't tell whether it was admiration or sarcasm.
"Maybe I can play around with that ghost for a while longer," Gu Ran complained.
Listening to their jokes, Jiang Xia's face became more and more ugly.
After a section of tomb passage, there is another fork in the road.
"Which way?" Tang Xi asked.
"Ah." Jiang Xia came back to his senses, and quickly concentrated on finding the direction.
"How far is it?" Tang Xi said.
"It's not far from the tomb where we saw the ghost last time. We didn't go too deep. Although we roughly determined the location of the main tomb, we didn't have time to open it." Jiang Xia explained.
"Wait." Tang Xi suddenly stopped.
"Why..." Jiang Xia fell silent before finishing his sentence.
After the sound of their own footsteps disappeared, the ancient tomb was so quiet that one could hear the sound of one's own breathing, heartbeat and even blood flow, not to mention the sound of "dong dong dong" coming from a distance.
"Footsteps." Tang Xi affirmed.
"I'm afraid it's that gang of tomb robbers." Gu Ran squeezed her fists, stood at the front, and pulled Jiang Xia to the back of the line.
Perhaps seeing the light from the flashlight, the sound of footsteps paused, and then they rushed over here.
In less than a minute, I saw a thin figure rushing over from the other side of the passage.
"You guessed quite right." Gu Ran sighed.
"What guess, is this a criminal profile?" Tang Xi was dissatisfied.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" The man who rushed over was terrified and waved his arms.
"There is a gun." Tang Xi's eyes narrowed.
Although it is a very simple homemade pistol, once it is related to the gun, the nature of the case changes completely. Are the grave robbers now so arrogant!
Gu Ran was also afraid that he would raise his hand in panic to shoot a gun, and leaning against the wall of the tomb passage, he "swimmed" over with a very strange movement, grabbed the muzzle of the gun and raised it up, and at the same time inserted his finger in to jam the trigger. , the whole process takes less than three seconds.
In Jiang Xia's eyes, this man caught the tomb robber with just a flash, which made him wonder if he had skipped more than ten seconds in a blink of an eye.
"Who are you? Get out of the way! Run!" The man who was grabbed by the wrist shouted hysterically while struggling.
"It looks like he can't communicate." Gu Ran, who was at a close distance, clearly saw that his pupils were dilated, and it was obvious that he was mentally abnormal, and he immediately knocked him out with a hand knife.
"This..." Jiang Xia was dumbfounded.
Is it so simple and rude
"It's okay." Tang Xi said calmly, "fainting is actually a self-protection mechanism for the brain to enter a closed state spontaneously after the emotion of fear exceeds the limit of human psychology. Psychological trauma, referred to as madness."
"So, it's okay to be knocked out?" Jiang Xia asked.
"Well, the fainting cut off his fear, and the next time he wakes up, there is a great possibility of returning to normal." Tang Xi nodded.
"Are you still free for science? The chasing thing is coming." Gu Ran held the handle of the knife in one hand, stared at the front of the tomb passage, hooked his heel, and kicked the unconscious tomb robber a few meters back.
"Organ? Living creature? Ghost?" Tang Xi asked.
"It's not a ghost." Gu Ran glanced at the motionless pointer on his wrist and said.
After a while, I heard another rustling sound, as if something was sliding along the wall and the ground.
"Hey... Could it be..." Tang Xi's face suddenly became ugly.
"Probably this is the one you don't want to see." Gu Ran remembered that the last time Miao Hong was released to treat Gu worms, his scalp became numb. He was about to have mass phobia, okay
"I can't locate it again." Tang Xi said in a deep voice.
"Understood...but it's okay, this amount shouldn't be so excessive." Gu Ran slowly drew out the knife.
"You guys, what are you talking about?" Jiang Xia asked cautiously.
"Look at him, don't move." Tang Xi took the kick and kicked the hapless tomb robber to his side.
"Here we come." Gu Ran shouted.
At this moment, several people saw something slowly swimming over on the wall and on the ground.
"A lot of snakes!" Jiang Xia exclaimed. However, compared to ghosts, he, an archaeological team member who has been working under the tomb all year round, has adapted well to snakes, and said strangely, "What kind of snake is this? It doesn't seem to be in the album. I’ve seen something similar. Besides, could it be something left over from thousands of years ago? Even snakes shouldn’t live that long, right?”
"It doesn't matter what kind it is, kill it first, I don't know if it is poisonous, so be careful not to be bitten." Tang Xi reminded.
"Understood." Gu Ran said, swiping the knife, a few pieces of the snake's body fell from the top of the head, and fell to the ground, still twisting.
Unknowingly, many appeared on the top of the head.
Jiang Xia immediately took out the medicine powder from his pocket and sprinkled it around, and threw a handful on the top of his head. Immediately, the pungent smell of realgar filled the tomb passage.
"Ah!" Tang Xi couldn't help but sneezed.
"Sorry, sorry." Jiang Xia hurriedly said.
"It's all right, but these snakes don't seem to react that much to realgar." Gu Ran said while killing the snakes that crawled over.
The whole body of these snakes is snow-white, only the eyes are red like rubies, and the whole body is covered with thin scales. If you meet a breeder who likes cold-blooded animals, you may think it is very beautiful. Of course, no matter how beautiful it is, the sight of hundreds of snakes clustered together will turn into horror. Fortunately, the snake is white, so it is particularly conspicuous on the dark wall, and it can be seen clearly with the dim light of a flashlight.
Even though the surrounding area was already covered with realgar, the group of snakes seemed to have hesitated for a moment, and did not retreat in panic.
Tang Xi wiped his left eye and opened a unilateral ghost pupil, then his expression darkened.
Normally, when she was in the state of ghost pupils, she couldn't see the living things in the yang world, but now, in her left and right eyes, those snake groups existed perfectly.
Gu Ran's dial didn't respond, and physical attacks could kill snakes, which meant that these were indeed living creatures, but they didn't look like ordinary living creatures.
"Did you find anything? Can you help me?" Gu Ran shouted.
It's not that he wants to ask for help, but that he is a knife-wielder, and he is really not good at dealing with these small and numerous poisonous insects and snakes!
"Catch me a job and study it." Tang Xi said, flipped his hands, each pinched a spark, and blew it out gently.
"Boom!" Sparks fell on the snakes, spreading like oil.
"Cultural relics!" Jiang Xia jumped anxiously.
"It's okay, it won't spread." Tang Xi was confident.
Sure enough, Gu Ran withdrew the knife, grabbed a white snake by seven inches, and rescued the little thing from the sea of flames. After a few seconds, a water curse poured out the flames.
There was an unpleasant smell of burning in the tomb passage.
"..." Jiang Xia felt that she might have strayed into the shooting scene of a fantasy movie. That's not right, fantasy movies are all post-production with computer special effects, and it's impossible to shoot like this!
"Strange." Gu Ran kicked the ashes with his toes, and muttered, "Even if you use spiritual fire, it only takes a few seconds. Living things can't be burnt to ashes so clean, right?"
"These snakes are half-yin and half-yang." Tang Xi walked over, took out a soul-cultivating pearl, tried it, and was able to put away the only remaining white snake.
"Half yin and half yang?" Gu Ran was puzzled.
"It was originally an ordinary snake egg, but it was not hatched. It was nourished by Yin Qi for many years, and the contents inside changed qualitatively. Then there was a gap in the ancient tomb, and the invasion of Yang Qi from the outside activated these eggs, causing them to hatch." Tang Xi explained, "The hatched snakes are indeed live snakes, but they have been nourished by Yin Qi for thousands of years, so they are no longer normal snakes."
"It's really complicated." Gu Ran felt a little regretful, "I knew I should grab two more. Mr. Wen must like this rare thing, and it would be nice to take it back as a souvenir."
"Oh, you have no place to pretend." Tang Xi mocked.
"..." Gu Ran was speechless... Do you want to be so direct!
"Well... what should we do? Should we continue walking?" Jiang Xia asked tremblingly.
"Of course, let's go. Your grandfather only gave us one day." Tang Xi took it for granted.
"Then what should he do? Throw it here?" Gu Ran pointed at the unconscious tomb robber.
Tang Xi touched her chin, thought for a while, and snapped her fingers: "Su Huang, throw him out to Minister Pan. Since you dare to rob the tomb, you must be prepared to be caught! I will hand it over to the Chang'an police later."
"Understood, I'll be right back." Su Huang picked up the tomb robber and floated out.
So in Jiang Xia's eyes, it was the tomb robber who suddenly floated into the air by himself.
supernatural events!
"It's the female ghost sister from last time." Gu Ran said.
"Okay, let's continue." Tang Xi gave him a white look.
"Go, take the road on the left." Jiang Xia hurriedly said.
The previous tomb robbers ran out from the fork on the right.
Several people jumped over the ashes on the ground and changed the path of the tomb.
"It's not far ahead, but there is a mechanism to open the door of the tomb. The person just now probably thought this was a dead end." Jiang Xia borrowed.
"The male ghost you mentioned is inside?" Tang Xi asked.
"Yes." Jiang Xia nodded and confirmed again, "But, can the tomb door hold ghosts?"
"It's not the gate of the tomb that can hold ghosts, but the corpse." Tang Xi replied.
"Then, then, did I open the door?" Jiang Xia said.
"Open it." Gu Ran stared at the door excitedly.
Jiang Xia turned around and fiddled with the stone wall for a while, and after a while, he saw the heavy stone gate slowly rising up.
"Every time I see it, I can't help but marvel at the wisdom of the ancients." Tang Xi praised.
"Yes, it's a pity that many technologies have been lost." Jiang Xia said with regret.
A few seconds later, the stone door rose to the highest point and stopped, only heard a slight "click", as if it was stuck.
"Won't it fall?" Gu Ran looked up worriedly.
"No, the mechanism here is very sophisticated, unless it is destroyed violently." Jiang Xia said.
Tang Xi took a flashlight around the tomb, but didn't see any ghosts.
"Hey, is anyone there?" Gu Ran stepped in and called out generously.
Jiang Xia:! ! !
Tang Xi smiled "puchi" and followed inside.
Jiang Xia was in a dilemma. He really didn't want to enter the space where he killed his three companions last time, but it seemed more terrifying if he stayed outside alone. After hesitating for a while, he trotted behind Tang Xi.
Because it was not long ago and it was a confined space, a strong smell of blood could still be smelled in the tomb, and dark brown blood stains could still be vaguely seen on the ground.
"By the way, have you got the corpse out yet?" Tang Xi asked suddenly.
"Of course I took it out." Jiang Xia nodded immediately and explained, "At that time, only one was killed on the spot, and the other two died of injuries after going out. We ran out with mutual support, and I finally put down I didn’t know if the door could block ghosts, but I just wanted to be at ease, and then ran all the way out. I’m sorry that I can’t remember many details.”
"Too much fear and confusion is inevitable." Tang Xi expressed her understanding.
Gu Ran had already jumped up the stone steps, and knocked on the coffin with the handle of the knife: "Hello, are you at home? There are guests coming."
"..." Tang Xi twitched the corners of her lips, and suddenly realized that this kid is actually quite interesting.
Well, her age in her previous life might be a few years younger than Gu Ran's, but this person's appearance and mental age are not inconsistent at all.
Just lose ten years old, no more.
If she does the math, she can indeed be called Gu Ran's child.
"Bah!" It was a muffled sound that interrupted her rambling thoughts.
Gu Ran moved quickly, and jumped down the steps with a flip.
"It's you...waking me up?" An erratic voice sounded, but it didn't come from the coffin. It felt like a set of stereo surround equipment was installed in the four corners of the tomb.
"Yeah, yeah, it's me, what are you going to do? Hit me?" Gu Ran's expression and tone were particularly awkward.
Tang Xi branched out a wisp of spiritual power from her fingertips, and probed carefully.
"Xiaoxi, this ghost is not easy to deal with." Xie Changan's warning voice sounded in her mind.
"I know it's difficult to deal with, so I brought a weapon." Tang Xi said, grabbing the void with his hand, and pulled out a stringless guqin.
"Yunqi's piano?" Xie Changan asked in surprise.
"This was originally a weapon I made." Tang Xi pressed his left hand on the top of the piano, and said in a deep voice, "Although I can't achieve Yunqi's mental control, it is still very good if it is purely used to increase lethality. .”
Before she finished speaking, she saw her five fingers swipe fiercely.
The seven strings did not appear at the same time as when Yun Qi was using it, but whichever string she plucked, that string appeared, and then disappeared immediately.
The seven strings flashed one by one, and with the piercing noise, the spiritual power was stimulated in the form of sound waves and shot out in all directions without any dead ends.
"I'm going deaf!" Gu Ran covered her ears with a painful face.
"Then cover it." Tang Xi sneered, and moved both hands together, almost flashing afterimages on the body of the piano.
Jiang Xia crouched in the corner and held her head tightly, not daring to speak.
Gu Ran's whole body is distorted, Tang Xi's spiritual power will not harm the living, but this kind of noise attack is obviously stronger than the spiritual power attack! dying!
Xie Chang'an in the bracelet didn't know what his expression was—should he be thankful that Yun Qi is asleep
Yun Qi's qin is crisp and melodious even in a single tone, but Tang Xi's can't be called playing the qin.
Playing cotton
Playing the piano like this, if Yun Qi heard about it, he would roar and remake him!
