Chapter 93 Pavilions in the Air

Zhang Enqi sighed and said, "Son, you don't know anything about it. In feudal society, many families took it as the glory of the family to be able to be buried with the officials and nobles. A large part of these children were sent by their parents, and the children who were eliminated will also be scolded by their parents, thinking that this is Shame on the family. The parents of the selected child are very happy. Walking on the street is the envy of people!"

"I wiped the dead tortoise eggs of the 18 generations of his ancestors. These people are too stupid. No matter how fierce the tiger is, it will not hurt its own children, let alone human beings! The hearts of these parents have been eaten by dogs, which is simply not as good as animals!" Liu Dashao cursed indignantly.

Zhang Enpuri smiled and said, "So people are the most cruel and sinister animals in the world!"

"Hey, come here. What is this?" Tian Guoqiang pointed to the disk held on the head of the mercury boy's body and said.

Everyone gathered around, and Major General Liu said to a small hole under the disk, "Look here!"

I saw a very thin wax thread coming out of an eye hole in the center of the bronze disk and hidden in the child's head.

Everyone looked at each other in con's eyes and looked at Zhang En Pu, hoping that he could give some explanations.

Zhang Enru looked closer, twisted the wax line and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, he shouted, "This is the Tianmen candle!"

What?! Tianmen Candle? The name is really weird.

Zhang Enpong pointed to the wax thread and said, "Look, one end of the wax thread is connected to the candle, and the other end is inserted into the child's head. If I guess correctly, the child's head has been hollowed out and is full of wax oil."

Hearing what he said, Liu Dashao suddenly thought of the watermelon without it. He felt that his chest was stuffy and uncomfortable, and he couldn't help vomiting again.

Tian Guoqiang said, "Zhang Tianshi, I think we'd better go quickly. Looking at this mercury child corpse, I feel heart bleed!" As he spoke, he walked forward on his own. Suddenly, Tian Guoqiang screamed and his whole body suddenly fell down. Liu Da Shao's eyes were fast and he turned around and grabbed his wrist.

"Catch me! Oh my God! Pull me up quickly!" Tian Guoqiang shouted in horror.

At this moment, Tian Guoqiang's whole body was hanging in mid-air, and the cold wind roared up from below. The lower half of his body was swallowed in the chaotic darkness, leaving only the arm grasped by Liu Dashao and the pale face still exposed.

"Quick! Help me!" Tian Guoqiang lay on the edge of the platform and shouted at the crowd behind him.

Zhang Enpu quickly ran over and helped Master Liu pull Tian Guoqiang up from the dark abyss. Tian Guoqiang lay on the ground and gasped. He kept patting his chest with his hand, "Oh, my God! It scares me to death! It scared me to death!"

Bai Erzi came up and said, "What's wrong? What's going on?"

Zhang Enpou pointed to the chaotic darkness in front of him and said, "There is no way!"

"How can it be?" Bai Erqi took a step forward, and Zhang Enpu quickly grabbed him, "Be careful!"

The four people are now standing on the platform at the corner, and there is no road in front of the platform, just like a cliff. At this moment, they are standing on the edge of the cliff and are stunned. The rotten wind made a sharp roar, which made them unable to open their eyes.

Liu Dashao said in his heart, "His grandfather's, such a fear wind, it's really bottomless!"

Tian Guoqiang picked up his life from the ghost door. He was so scared that he no longer dared to run around. He sat there in a trance and had not recovered from the state of shock.

"Master, there is no way ahead. What do you think we should do?" Liu Dashao asked Zhang En Pu.

Zhang Enpuri looked back at the stone steps that several people walked through, looked at the chaotic darkness in front of him, and muttered, "It's impossible! There can't be no road here! Which link must be wrong, and where is it wrong?"

"Hey, young master, turn off the flashlight and save some power. Isn't there a candle on the head of this mercury child corpse? Shall we just light the candles? Bai Erzi said on the other side.

"Yes! Candles!" Zhang En Pu snapped his fingers excitedly, "The problem is on the candle!" Hurry up! Light the candle!"

Several people saw Zhang Enpuri's excited appearance and knew that things had turned around again. They quickly took out the fire twist to light the candle on the head of the mercury boy's corpse. Originally, I thought that after such a long time, the half of the candle might not burn. Unexpectedly, the candle suddenly lit up with just a light, but to everyone's surprise, the candlelight emitted by the candle was blue. What puzzled them more was that the wind here was so strong, but the strange candlelight did not sway at all, which reminded Liu Dashao of a Tang poem that his teacher taught when he was studying: "The desert is lonely and the sun is straight, and the long river is round." Now it is: "The ancient tomb candle fire is straight"!

"Look, there is a way ahead!" Tian Guoqiang, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly shouted in surprise.

Everyone looked back and saw a long stone step extending under the platform, winding down and circling down. Looking at this ghostly stone steps, everyone was so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. There was nothing here just now, and Tian Guoqiang almost fell from here. Why is there a long stone step here as soon as the candle is lit? Is there really a ghost? At this thought, white hair and sweat appeared on Liu Dashao's back. The appearance of this stone step was so incredible. Thinking about it, his mother's heart was cold.

"Strongzi, go for a walk and see if this stone step is real?" Liu Dashao said.

"Bah, you think it's beautiful. Why don't you practice it in person?" Tian Guoqiang can be said to have a lot of wisdom. Now he is not fooled by Liu Dashao.

No one dares to easily try whether the stone steps are real or illusory. In case it is illusory and step on the air, it will be a hiccup. In order to prove whether the stone steps were real or not, Liu Dashao turned his head and knocked on the stone steps in front of him. The buttock and the stone steps made a bang. Everyone was relieved, "It seems that this stone steps are real!" But even Zhang En Pu couldn't explain why the stone steps did not exist just now, and this problem suddenly appeared at this time, so they had to give up and let it go.

Maybe this is a kind of optical principle, maybe this is a clever mechanism designed by the ancients, who knows. There are too many things in this world that we can't see through and can't understand, but we can't be too serious and live too well. This life has no meaning at all, so we often say that this is the reason why it is rare to be confused.

As soon as Liu Dashao took the first step, Tian Guoqiang shouted coldly, "Wait!"

This voice made Liu Dashao trembling. He quickly withdrew his foot and said, "What's wrong?"

Tian Guoqiang said, "You only tried that the stone steps in front of you are real. In case you go to the middle, the stone steps disappear again, won't we all be finished?"

It seems that this person was just stunned and could think of this step, but he made some sense.

Zhang Enpune explained, "According to now, the candle is likely to be an organ. The stone steps of lighting the candle will appear. As long as the candle is not extinguished, the stone steps should not disappear."

Tian Guoqiang argued, "What if the candle suddenly goes out?"

Everyone was speechless when asked by this boy, and finally decided that Liu Dashao and Bai Erqi would explore the way in front of them, and the rest of the people stayed on it to protect the candle from being blown out. Liu Dashao looked back at the faint blue candlelight. It didn't look like it would be blown out at all. If it was blown out, it would have been blown out long ago. Do you have to wait for everyone to go down before extinguishing? But these strange things are also hard to say.

Liu Dashao asked Bai Erlu if he was ready, and he went on his way when he was ready. Bai Erqi took a deep breath and said he was ready. Then he turned around and told Tian Guoqiang, "I know your father is the head of Xiushui Village. If I go there, I won't be able to come back. Please take good care of the two dolls I adopted, which is also an explanation to the sister-in-law of the Hu family."

Tian Guoqiang said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to help those two children."

Bai Erqi patted Tian Guoqiang on the shoulder, "Good brother, you are so righteous!"

Tian Guoqiang also patted him on the shoulder, "Go on the road at ease!"

Bai Erqi nodded solemnly and turned to step on the long ghost stone steps.

Liu Dashao and Bai Erqi walked slowly forward step by step. Every few steps they took, they knocked on the front with the butt of the gun to see if it was real. Only then did they dare to take the second step. In this way, the speed of the two people became very slow, just like two snails.

After walking for a long time, I looked back and found that I had only walked more than ten floors of stairs. Tian Guoqiang was still nagging on it: "Young master, nagging, you go faster. Don't worry, this candlelight will never be blown out after my test!" With that, Tian Guoqiang pouted his lips and blew at the candlelight cutely. As he blew back, he said, "Look, I said it would not be extinguished!"

Liu Dashao and Bai Er are so scared that they are exhausted. If this fool really blows out the candle, everyone will be finished. The two of them no longer dared to stay too much, and now speed up and move forward. However, in his heart, Tian Guoqiang was scolded with dog blood, and Bai Erzi thought that if he went back now, he would have to beat him well. Liu Da Shao nodded: "It's more than that! I even destroyed his heart!"

After walking for almost ten minutes, the two looked back. Tian Guoqiang and Zhang Enfu's shadows were only vague black spots. So Liu Da Shao raised the flashlight and waved it, indicating that they could keep up with it at ease.

When they came to another corner, Liu Dashao and Bai Erzi stopped at the same time, because they found that another mercury child corpse appeared on the platform at the corner. It's just that the child corpse is a little girl, and the two horn braids are still slightly upturned. She was exactly the same posture as the little boy just now. She also knelt on her knees, raised her hands on her head, and held the disk in the palm of her hand. There was half a candle on the disk. An extremely thin wax thread came out of the hole under the disk and disappeared in the little girl's head. The whole little girl looked like a big candle.

"Alas!" Liu Dashao sighed and said, "These children are so pitiful! I don't know what the ancient feudal rulers thought. They actually liked human candles. What a pervert!"

At this time, Tian Guoqiang and Zhang En Pu came down, and then they also saw the mercury child corpse.

Liu Dashao looked in front of the platform. It was really dark, like a cliff, and there was no stone step at all. So Master Liu lit the Tianmen candle on the little girl's head, which was strange to say. Just as the candle lit, the stone steps under the platform appeared out of thin air and knocked with the buttstock and rattled. Now they can finally be sure that the Tianmen candle must be the mechanism to control the stone steps.

The faint blue candle flashed with a strange light, and the white Erqi suddenly said nervously, "Look behind you!"

The three of them looked back, and the Tianmen candle above suddenly went out, and the stone steps that everyone had just passed also disappeared. Only the big black wind was condensing.

Now they have no choice but to keep moving forward. On this ghostly stone steps, several people walked for almost an hour and passed six corners on the way. There was a mercury child corpse at each corner, and it was alternate between men and women. The singular number was the bodies of three little boys, the double number was the bodies of three little girls, and each corpse had a door candle on its head. Liu Dashao was secretly shocked: "I don't know who the owner of this tomb is. He actually laid such a delicate mechanism. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe that there was such a hanging thing in the world."

He calculated everyone's current position. The drop of each stone step is about more than ten meters. They walked six stone steps, that is, a depth of nearly 100 meters. Coupled with the drop of more than ten meters of the dam, the depth reached more than 100 meters. According to this gap, they have almost walked from the river to the bottom of the river.

As they walked, an arched stone gate appeared in front of everyone. The arch was about two meters wide and three meters high. There was no solid door. An octagonal bronze mirror was hung on the stone wall in the center. Some patterns were painted with blood on the bronze mirror, which was probably some kind of charm to suppress demons and monsters. Liu Dashao has seen rectangular mirrors, square mirrors, and round mirrors, but he has never seen this octagonal mirror. There are faint waves of light flowing on the mirror, and I don't know where the light comes from in the depths of the earth.

So he asked Zhang Enpuri, "Master, what does it mean to hang a mirror here?"

Zhang Enpou said, "The name of this mirror should be called the soul mirror. It hangs here to suppress evil spirits. It seems that behind this arch is the main tomb!"

As soon as they heard that they came to the main tomb, several people were a little uneasy. Zhang Enpu said that there was nothing to be afraid of. At most, if he met an old zongzi, there would be no problem.

Tian Guoqiang asked Zhang Enpuo what old zongzi was, and Bai Erqi was more ruthless. He actually asked Zhang Enpuo whether the old zongzi was delicious or not. Is there any bacon in it?

Zhang Enpuri waved his hand and said, "Old rice dumplings are not the kind of rice dumplings we usually eat, but a kind of language. The so-called old dumplings are zombies!"
