Chapter 29 Shadow [Five-word Chapter]
Boom--!
I only heard a loud noise, and the flipped stone door in the pavilion fell down.
Fortunately, Beckham was suddenly pulled out of the secret room by Liu Xin.
"It's really thrilling. I was almost locked in. Thank you, Brother Liu." Xiaobei collapsed on the ground and gasped while thanking Liu Xin. From his tightly collapsed clothes, we can see how critical it was just now. If not, he will be buried here.
"Thank you, they are all our own people." Liu Xin laughed brightly.
Yang Qi said, "I said Xiaobei, what's on this brocade book?"
Xiaobei was about to open it when he suddenly caught a glimpse of more than a dozen black dots lying on the wall. He looked at them in panic, and there was a rapid footsteps behind him.
Looking behind, six or seven men with silver masks ran over and immediately shouted when they saw the three people, "Here, they are here!" Catch them!"
The first person smiled evilly and said, "Hey, you can't run away now, can you?"
He took a look at Beckham and found that Beckham's leg was seriously injured and unable to escape at all, and the remaining two would certainly not leave Beckham. Even if Lu Xin and Yang Yu fled, it was easy to catch him back when they were physically and mentally exhausted. Moreover, they were ordered to catch Beckham, regardless of the other two's life or death.
At that time, Xiaobei pulled Liu Xin and Yang to the ground. More than a dozen black spots on the wall behind him also soared into the air and rushed to the three people, but they lost their target because they accelerated too fast. They didn't have time to turn and went straight to the silver masked man.
The man was still laughing and didn't notice such an inconspicuous black spots. As soon as he took a step, he bumped head-on.
"Ah!" A scream penetrated everyone's eardrums in an instant, and the sad sound seemed to come from hell, which was extremely horrible.
But compared with the picture reflected in his eyes, Beckham felt that the sound was not so terrible.
Because the man has turned into ashes.
He was burned alive. At the moment when the bug hit him, there was a raging fire on his body, which was not a normal flame, but a faint blue and a little black flame.
Several people next to him didn't have time to think about this sudden change. They stood on the spot and looked at this incredible scene with their mouths open.
Xiaobei patted his chest and sighed that it was dangerous. If he hadn't inadvertently glanced at the dangerous cabinet when checking his leg injury and saw the insects lurking there before the stone door was turned over and closed, I'm afraid the three of them would have come to such a miserable end.
However, the power of this bug is really amazing, and it can make people burn. Because of the angle, he can clearly see that the flesh and blood of the man was burned in an instant, but the bones were intact. Looking back on the white skeleton in the secret room, he knew why the body was so clean and white.
The flame does not seem to have any effect on the bones. It just burns human flesh and blood. The burned bones will not be burned black, but also reveal another evil white.
The accomplice next to the man finally realized that he didn't care about Beckham and others. He quickly took off his coat and slapped him in an attempt to extinguish the flames to save his companions. All this was too late. Beckham saw that the man had completely lost his life, but in the blink of an eye, he turned into a skeleton with a burning flame and lost it. The wreckage is the same.
This oil must also be extracted from the black-squall mackerel. The black-ma mackerel is the legendary "mermaid". Many people in the world have found the bones of the mermaid, and the U.S. Navy has caught a live one.
It is said that their ointment not only has a low ignition point, but can burn for several months with just one drop. In ancient times, there were many noble tombs with their grease as a ten-thousand-year lamp. The East China Sea mackerel is the most ** and bloodthirsty. They all live under an island formed by a dead coral in the sea. The coral caves and caves are criscrossed. It is unknown that there is the old nest of mermaids. They make a sound in the nearby sea and attract seaboat merchants. All the victims are eaten and have no bones left. Some people catch live black-shrike sharks, slaughter them to dry them, pour them into their ointment, and make long candles, which are worth 3,000 golden beads.
"Hey, this thing can make a small profit in ancient times, and there is no danger." Seeing that there is no danger now, Xiaobei's mood is no longer so depressed that he actually joked with Yang Yu and Liu Xin.
"It's worth taking it out now, but do you think this thing is cabbage all over the street? There are more in this underground palace. I really don't know who has been buried here before, and it has to be buried so thickly. Liu Xin slapped Xiaobei on the head with a smile and laughed. The word thick burial is really awkward to use now. Obviously, it is a fierce hole and unlucky, but it seems that this person's status is still extremely noble. I don't understand.
"That's not the case. Maybe there were still people who were extremely rich at that time. Only because they were buried here after making a big mistake, his family was decorated so luxuriously for psychological comfort." Beckham argued.
Liu Xin shook his head and stopped refuting. This kind of question is meaningless, and probably only God knows the answer. The person who made a big mistake? At that time, he was killed by the whole family and then raided the house. There is no time to arrange these.
"Bright, I haven't had time to read what is written in this brocade book. Why is it under that corpse? It can't be a modern thing. It's probably from which tomb the man got it from, or it was taken from here. Maybe it can answer our doubts. Xiaobei suddenly remembered the brocade book in her arms and quickly touched her hand in her arms.
Suddenly, Beckham froze, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she could no longer take a step forward.
Looking at his frozen expression, Liu Xin hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"Damn, I lost the book! I don't know where it fell!" Beckham bit his lower lip and thought desperately about when he left the book. Perhaps there is no answer in the brocade book about the person buried in the underground palace or the other party forcing him to enter, but there must be a lot of useful information for himself and others. Moreover, he almost lost his life for it just now. Of course, Beckham can't be in any mood.
"No way, you can see if you put it wrong. Where is it on your body?" Yang Yu heard Beckham's exclamation and turned around to ask.
"It's impossible. I remember it clearly. I just put it in my arms!" Beckham groped for a long time, and finally shook his head helplessly.
I'm really at a loss.
It took a lot of effort to get something that just disappeared, which is inevitable to be a little frustrated.
"We will go back and look for it now. Maybe we can find it. Let's go and go back the same way now!" Liu Xin died for a while. After measuring it, I think it's better to go back and look for it.
Now I don't know what the result will be. It's better to find something real and an explanation, otherwise I'm afraid everyone will be entangled for a long time.
This is a painful blow to morale, which is extremely unfavorable to the actions of others. Although it is not a march, morale is also very important. Now everyone is facing a dilemma, and the brocade book looks very important. What the owner of the corpse still wants to get on his death is certainly extraordinary, perhaps solving the mystery. The opportunity of the group is very difficult and the hope of everyone. With such a mood, it will not be easy to be tripped by such a thing.
So the three followed the route back.
This is originally a long corridor, which is straight and not too troublesome to find. I'm afraid that the enemy will catch up, but if you calculate the time when the other party is killed six or seven people by the strange and horrible bug just now, it will obviously be delayed for a while, and it should not be chased so quickly.
Suddenly, the three of them stopped together.
Because something suddenly went wrong here.
Beckham clearly remembers that there should be a fork in the road here. They put a small piece of gauze removed from their body as a mark, and although it is still a fork in the road, the mark is missing!
"What's going on? Did someone take off the mark? Liu Xin looked at Beckham doubtfully, because there was another person here who was helping Beckham, and now he is nowhere to be found. Did he also take this road and pick up the gauze?
"Impossible." Xiaobei seemed to see Liu Xin's doubt and said firmly, "He absolutely can't move any marks, and he will definitely walk in front of us. Something else must have happened, or we misread it and look for it again."
The three cats searched for a long time, but did not find the mark they made, but found a more amazing thing.
This is obviously not the place they have walked!
How could this happen? Obviously, he followed the route at the time. There was also a small pit poked by Xiaobei's long pole on the road. He thought of the three of them looking at the ground.
"Ah! We didn't go the road we took just now!" Yang Yu exclaimed.
Of course, Xiaobei and Liu Xin also found the problem. They ran to the wall and groped for a while, and then took the oil lamp to shine. Then they said with a wry smile, "We really encountered an accident. This is definitely not the way we came."
"Because of this wall, there was no pattern on the lamp stand when I came. Now you see." Liu Xin pointed to the lamp holder. After the firelight, he could clearly see that there was a vermilion pattern on it.
"Go, now go back!" Liu Xin suddenly realized something and quickly greeted Xiao Bei and the two.
"What's wrong?"
"I suspect that there is a path that we didn't see clearly when we came here, and we are walking into this path now, and it tells me that it is dangerous."
"I'm also a little uncomfortable, but maybe it's because we don't have food supplements." Beckham lowered his head and meditated doubtfully for a while, drawing circles on the ground with his feet.
"No." Liu Xin stared at Beckham's feet, suddenly squatted down and picked on the ground with his fingers.
There is a layer of dark brown on the sand, and looking deeper, there are small pieces of similar traces.
"Blood, someone has been injured here before, which can already explain the problem."
Beckham nodded, twisted a trace of sand on the ground with his hand, sniffed it under his nose, rubbed it with his forefinger and thumb, and knew that it was dry blood. Just because the dust covers the smell.
When he saw the fat man doing such an action under the altar in the ancient tomb of Lijiang, he thought it was very interesting. After asking, the fat man told him about this knowledge. Now, he has a sensitive sense of smell, and he immediately got the result after identification.
After realizing the danger here, the three immediately turned back.
After walking for a while, the last Beckham suddenly squatted down because she wanted to find something.
"Did you find the mark?" When Yang Yu turned his head, he saw Beckham's action and asked.
Here, marking is extremely important, otherwise the probability of being lost is very high, especially if they do not have supplies, which is even more crucial. This is also the reason why people are worried.
"No, but I found something more useful than marking." Beckham shook his hand. He held a bright yellow object, which was the lost brocade book.
"Hurry up and see what's on it. Don't lose it again. That's really not worth the loss." Yang Yu shrugged his shoulders and looked around. They didn't seem to go back to the original route. As for why Jinshu appeared here, he had to ask God.
Just as Beckham was about to open the book, Liu Xin suddenly raised his head and looked upward.
"Be careful!"
Before the voice fell, a huge dark shadow covered Beckham's position. Panic Xiaobei subconsciously looked up and saw a huge cocoon-shaped object overhead!
The situation is so critical that Beckham is inconvenient to move. Such a fast fall speed will hit Beckham's body in less than half a second. Looking at such a huge shadow, even a light substance is not what Beckham's current body can't stand.
Beckham has been distracted for a moment, and it's too late to dodge. Looking at the shadow in the sky getting bigger and bigger, and the wind in his ear also whined, Yang Yu suddenly pushed away the long pole in his hand and propped it upright against the unknown object!
"Yang Yu!" Even Liu Xin exclaimed with Xiaobei, and their hearts were raised tightly and reached their throats in an instant.

(Note: mackerel, fish tail body, called the spirit of the mermaid. The mackerel recorded in ancient Chinese classics is a mermaid in Western mythology. The mackerel they produce is not wet in water. When they cry, their tears will turn into pearls. Jin Ganbao's "Search for God" Volume 12: "Beyond the South Sea, there are mackerel, and the water is like a fish. If they don't waste weaving achievements, their eyes will cry, they can produce pearls." This is said to be "Bothical Records" and "Records of Strangerence" and contains a little difference. On the volume of Strange Notes, it says: "Jiangren is the first of the spring, also known as the spring guest. The South China Sea comes out of the silk yarn, and the spring is woven first. A dragon yarn costs more than 100 gold. I thought it wouldn't get wet. There is a dragon palace in the South China Sea, where the spring weaves silk first, and there is white as frost. Also, "Taiping Royal Review" Volume 803 quoted "The History of natural history" (now there is nothing) and also said: "The mackerel comes out of the water, lives in other people, and sells silk every day. I will go and ask for a weapon from the master and cry into a plate full of beads to be with the master. Natural History: "There are sharks in the South China Sea water, and the water is like a fish. It does not waste weaving achievements, and its eyes can cry." Liang Renfang's "Record of Strange Records" in the Southern Dynasty: "The mackerel, that is, the spring first, also known as the spring guest. ...There is a dragon palace in the South China Sea, where the spring weaves yarn first, and there is a white one like frost." The Strange Notes also contains: "The South China Sea comes out of the silk yarn, and the spring room is hidden woven. It is a dragon yarn. Its price is a hundred gold. If you think it is subdued, it will not be wet in the water."
