Chapter 91 Ghost Fire

The dark road is dark, which can be said to be out of reach. Through the light emitted by the flashlight, you can clearly see that there are many granular dust in the air.

Liu Dashao looked at the dark path as he walked. The dark path was very neat. The whole dark path was a regular rectome, just like the kind of straight smoke pillar lying horizontally, and everyone stabbed in the smoke pillar. The foot is also a lapis lazuli pavement, which is connected with large blue stones, extending forward and hidden in the darkness in front of them. It is hard to imagine that ancient people could polish this hard lapis lazuli so neatly and smoothly.

After walking more than ten meters, some reliefs appeared faintly on the stone walls on both sides of the dark road. Those reliefs are depicted with simple lines, but the sculptors are obviously outstanding artists. Although there are only a few strokes of those reliefs, they are clear at a glance. As soon as you see this relief, you will know what is said above. What is the content?

Everyone walked all the way forward. The contents of those reliefs are most related to the sacrifice. There are those who sacrifice to the Heavenly Emperor, those who sacrifice to Yan Luo, and those who sacrifice the head of the cow. Among them, there is a sacrificial snake god. The background looks like the content painted in the cave just now. In a cave, many people crawled on the ground. A Taoist priest knelt humbly on the altar. The first half of his body was almost on the ground. Because the Taoist priest had his back to everyone, he could only see his back. At the top of this cave, there is a big snake, and the scales of the snake are clearly visible.

Liu Dashao was attracted by the reliefs on the stone walls on both sides of the secret road and kept moving forward with his head stuffy. Suddenly, Tian Guoqiang, who was walking behind, suddenly pulled him, raised his arm, and kept pointing forward.

Liu Dashao raised his flashlight and shone forward in the direction of Tian Guoqiang's finger. He saw two clusters of dark blue ghost fires floating on both sides of the dark road. The two clusters of ghost fires hung like lanterns on both sides of the dark road. The faint blue light flowed out, which made people chill.

Bai Erzi is a standard feudal victim. He is more superstitious. He trembled when he saw the ghost fire, thinking that it was caused by ghosts. In fact, everyone knows that ghost fire is also phosphorus fire, which is a very common natural phenomenon. Because the bones of the human body contain more calcium phosphide, after death, the body is buried in the ground and decays, and various chemical reactions occur. The phosphorus in the bones is converted from phosphate to phosphine. Phosphine is a gaseous substance with a very low ignition point, which will burn when it comes into contact with air at room temperature. After the phosphine is produced, it burns blue light in the air along the cracks or holes in the ground. This is phosphorus fire, which is what people call ghost fire. But such a large cluster of ghost fire is the first time I've seen it.

Everyone stopped and quietly stared at the two clusters of ghost fires. No one knows where the two clusters of ghost fire came from, as if they were in an instant, and they appeared out of thin air.

Tian Guoqiang raised the double-bound shotgun in Yang's hand and motioned Liu Dashao to step back. Liu Dashao just wanted to stop it. The boy had already shot. I heard a muffled sound, the fire suddenly appeared, the smoke was permeated, and the dull gunshots lingered in the dark for a long time, so that everyone had to plug their ears with their hands. At the same time, there was only a 'boo' explosion, and the cluster of ghost fire on the right was smashed apart by the gun and slowly fell down, shining with a faint blue light and not extinguishing.

Tian Guoqiang proudly raised his thumbs up and claimed that his shooting was accurate.

Liu Dashao stared at him, pointed to his head, and then to the shotgun, meaning: "There are dangers here. Don't be so reckless, so as not to provoke something unclean!"

Tian Guoqiang nodded repeatedly. As soon as the boy looked up, Liu Da Shao saw that his eyes were wrong, and the direction of his eyes was above his head. Without saying a word, the boy raised his shotgun and shot it again, bang! The cluster of ghost fire burst on the top of Liu Dashao's head, and the faint light splashed everywhere. Everyone quickly retreated to prevent the ghost fire from touching the skin.

Liu Dashao thought to himself, "This ghost fire came too fast. In the blink of an eye, it floated above my head."

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Tian Guoqiang constantly poking the light scattered on the ground with his barrel. Liu Dashao is a little curious. This boy has nothing to do with ghost fire.

With the faint blue light, Liu Dashao looked at it carefully. At this time, he only felt that his scalp was numb, and there seemed to be tens of millions of ants biting all over his body, and goose bumps fell to the ground.

On a palm-sized skin, it is covered with insects the size of ants. Those insects are crystal clear, and the body is like a shuttle, a bit like Northeast rice. Those worms are dense, overlapping and cling together, and they are still squirming, looking extremely disgusting. And the faint blue light emanates from the bodies of these insects. That is to say, what they met was not a ghost fire at all, but this strange bug.

Just as Liu Dashao was focusing on these disgusting bugs, a lot of ghost fires suddenly appeared in the secret. Those ghost fires were exactly the same shape as lanterns, and there were more and more, more and more. In a blink of an eye, dozens of ghost fires came out, and these ghost fires were all towards the place where everyone stood. The secluded place floated over.

Everyone has never encountered such a strange thing, and they are stunned now. It was Zhang Enpu who reacted first, and he pulled a few people and ran forward. Everyone woke up and knew that these ghost fires were not easy to deal with, so they ran all the way with Zhang En Pu like rabbits.

Liu Dasho ran at the end, ran and ran. When he looked back, a cluster of ghost fire followed him closely. The faint blue light kept flashing, and he could faintly see that the strange insects inside were constantly squirming and rolling, which scared Liu Da Shao's fart rolled and no longer dared to look back.

The wind with the smell of rotten roared through everyone's ears. Everyone ran all the way, running about one or two hundred meters. Suddenly, their eyes opened, and finally ran out of the dark and strange dark road and stood on a platform. Strangely, those horrible ghost fires chased to the end of the dark road and stopped chasing forward. After wandering at the end for a while, they slowly disappeared in the darkness. The previous chaotic darkness was restored in the dark, as if nothing had happened just now.

Everyone took a long breath.

Liu Dashao stroked his chest and said, "Master, you run so fast!"

Zhang Enpung gasped and said palely, "You... Do you know what the ghost fire was just now?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Enpu's different expression and knew that the thing just now must not be good.

Zhang Enpune sighed and said, "It is recorded in the handwritings of the heavenly masters of all dynasties. If I remember correctly, that thing should have been the legendary Nether Lantern just now."

The underworld lantern?! As soon as everyone heard this name, it was very unreliable.

Zhang Enfu said, "When the twenty-sixth generation of ancestors entered an ancient tomb, he encountered this kind of ghost lantern. According to the notebook, this kind of ghost lantern is made of fresh animal skin. They put the warm and bloody animal skin into a jar containing this kind of strange insect, and those strange insects smell blood. The fishy smell keeps drilling into the animal skin, and finally sticks to pieces. At this time, the skin full of strange insects is taken out and sewn into the shape of a lantern. Of course, it is unknown how it can float. This kind of ghost lantern is very rare because of its mysterious workmanship.

Speaking of this, Zhang Enpuri picked up his beard and continued, "Since there is a ghost lantern here, it seems that we have entered an ancient tomb."

Ah?! Everyone looked at each other in con's eyes, and their hearts suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley. Originally, I expected this to be the way to the outside, but I didn't expect to break into the ancient tomb. There is really no way to heaven and no way to the ground.

Liu Dashao asked Zhang Enpyu, "Why is this ghost lantern chasing us?"

Zhang Enpou said, "Maybe it's because we attacked them. These ghost lanterns themselves should not take the initiative to attack people. I think they may just represent the lanterns of the underworld, which are used for lighting like the lanterns in the yang. The secret road we just walked should be the tomb in the tomb.
