Chapter 40: Human Skin Evil Shadow
Looking along the flashlight, I saw a palm tightly clinging to the pillar of the archway, with half of the forearm connected behind it, and a piece of gray sleeve on the ground. There was no body behind the forearm. Although it was already a white bone, from the analysis of the degree of decay and the color of the bones, the time was obviously not as long as the Later Jin Dynasty. Zhang Guozhong squatted down and looked carefully at the fracture of the bones of the forearm. It seemed that it was cut off by a sharp weapon. A bloody scene immediately appeared in front of Zhang Guozhong. A half-dead man was dragged down from the stone steps behind the archway. When he arrived at the archway, he did not forget to grab the pillar of the archway with his hands, but the person who dragged him cut off the arm holding the pillar with his knife.
"Senior brother, whose arm do you think it is?" Zhang Guozhong felt heartbroken. He wanted to ask "Is it the tomb robber's arm?" but he ended up asking "Whose arm is it."
"I'm not from the Public Security Bureau..." Old Liu also squatted down, "It's strange, it doesn't look like the ones cut by the Qing Dynasty..."
"Mr. Liu, I don't understand what you mean..." Qin Ge said, "Is there a difference between the knife edges?"
"Look, the fractures of the bones are equal..." Old Liu's head carefully studied the sharp blade of famous tools. For him, this common sense seemed nothing. (China's sword-casting technology is the same as some other unique skills. The later the era, the more unique skills are lost. The real historical famous blade has never appeared again since the Tang Dynasty. Before the Tang Dynasty, even modern people were impressed by China's smelting technology. King Goujian of Yue's wife was still very sharp after more than two thousand years. The "chromium salt oxidation" technology used on its surface was Germany in 1937, and the United States in 1937.
Modern antioxidant technology was invented in 1950. However, such sword-casting techniques gradually disappeared after the Tang Dynasty. The swords of the Tang Dynasty were not satisfactory in many aspects such as smelting technology, oxidation resistance, toughness, metal strength, etc. When cutting human bones, they were at most "cut" or "killed". The broken bones were very uneven. Some "miscellaneous blades" even had to be chopped several times, just like the boss at a pork stall chopping pig bones repeatedly with a kitchen knife. The half-cut bone in front of him was neat and had no disparity. It was obviously a treasure blade that was cut off at once.)
Qin Ge touched the section of the broken bone with his hand, then looked at the black stone steps, and his face turned ashen. "I killed each other?" Qin Ge remembered the two ancient Ming corpses of "Star Sucking Platform".
"It's not killing each other, but deliberately attacking each other." Zhang Guozhong said, "If you are stuck, you will never know how to chop your hands. (You have no reason to go crazy after being stormed after being stormed, and you only have huge strength. Even if you can't pull it, you don't have the consciousness to chop your hands with a knife. At most, it's just a constant tug)"
Old Liu nodded, thinking that this was indeed a deliberate sneak attack. From a reasonable point of view, Shi Jingtang should not have made any fancy things in the eyes of the formation. The nine towns were already cruel enough. If it was complicated, it would be troublesome to get treasures by himself. It seems that this may be caused by the Qing Dynasty's tomb robbers attacking their accomplices in order to take their treasures alone.
Although there should be no danger according to reasoning, Old Liu still stood up and made a "please" gesture towards Qin Ge, implicitly asking him to go first. Qin Ge did not hesitate, pulled out the pig-killing knife, fired the flashlight, and went down the stone steps without saying a word.
After about forty or fifty meters down, the end of the stone steps suddenly became clear. It was a huge stone chamber, still a semi-artificial and half-natural cave with square bricks on the ground, but the four walls seemed to be dealt with very much, just natural rock walls.
Leaving a few steps forward, Qin Ge suddenly stopped, squatted down, slowly raised his head, and shone it around with a flashlight.
"Master Qin, are your shoelaces loose?" Old Liu seemed to be fighting Qin Ge to the end.
"President Zhang... do you really think... the broken hand just now... wasn't it done by gods and ghosts..." Qin Ge's tone was a little trembling, but he was still trying to calm down.
"Why..." Old Liu quickly stepped forward and saw a corpse underground that had become bones, but what made people feel trembling was that the bones were cut into several sections by a knife. Each knife cut off the entire body at the same root, with a long and a short distance. To be precise, it was like being killed by a group of people.
"Damn it, even if there is a deep hatred for the family, there is no need to avenge it here..." Zhang Guozhong looked at the bone carefully and murmured. At this moment, Old Liu took out the compass, and the pointer did not respond. "Guozhong, don't scare yourself, maybe the one who killed people suddenly went crazy..." Old Liu guessed in a mess.
"Then why did he suddenly go crazy?" Qin Ge really asked in detail.
"How could I know why he went crazy?" Old Liu was also impatient.
At this moment, Zhang Guozhong stood up and walked slowly to the side. The visibility of this big cave was not very good, it was also foggy, but it was much better than the star sucking platform at the beginning. With this American flashlight, the visibility was about ten meters.
As soon as Zhang Guozhong left, Lao Liutou and Qin Ge also followed. The hole was much larger than the Zhentai Cave I had visited before. After walking along the cave wall, layers of boxes suddenly appeared in the flashlight.
When he walked to the box, Zhang Guozhong carefully checked the box and found no mechanism connected. He pulled out Qin Ge's pistol, smashed the seriously corroded chain with a bang, kicked open the lid of the box, and with the flashlight, the three of them were stunned. The box was filled with a whole box of gold bricks.
Old Liu couldn't help but take a piece, weighed it, it was ten pounds, and the folds on his face immediately smiled into a slit. "Guozhong... look at this..." As he said that, he put the gold bricks into his pocket. Zhang Guozhong was not a saint, so he couldn't help but take a piece and weighed it in his hand. Well, both of them were rich...
Qin Ge was not interested in gold, but continued walking along the rows of boxes alone, shining lights everywhere from time to time. His target was not the gold brick, but the national treasure seal. As he walked, Qin Ge's flashlight suddenly settled on a human-shaped black shadow, which scared Qin Ge, "Who!" Qin Ge shouted, took four or five steps back, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out from his body.
After installing two gold bricks, Old Liu was worried. Her mother's thing was too heavy. Just because of the rag bag on her body, she could not hold it anymore. She thought that it was still convenient for the current banknotes. At this moment, she suddenly heard Qin Ge shouting, which scared Old Liu and didn't care about installing gold bricks. She hurriedly took out the compass. The compass pointer swayed continuously, and from time to time, like some kind of pointer that was constantly rotating before the plane crashed. Old Liu hadn't seen the compass turn like this for so many years. He was so scared that he immediately threw away the third gold brick in his hand, pulled out a dagger, and shouted Zhang Guozhong's name, "Guozhong! There is something! Don't take it!"
Hearing the shout, Zhang Guozhong had already arrived next to Qin Ge and shone the figure in front of him with a flashlight, as if there was no movement.
"What's the hell..." Zhang Guozhong also had a layer of sweat on his forehead.
"Guozhong, be careful, this hole is too evil..." At this moment, Old Liu also caught up and shone the light around with a flashlight, and his soul almost flew away.
"Is this her mother...?" I saw that there were many people appearing where the flashlight on Lao Liu's head shone.
People are afraid. Old Liutou and Zhang Guozhong know how much they weigh. The Maoshan Technique has been passed down to this day, and more lost things than passed down, and more extinct materials than found. In the past, Maoshan sects had more than one person in the hands of ordinary evil ghosts and animals, not to mention the treasure cave he is now in which the Jin Dynasty built with great efforts. With these two tricks, he can be safely told until now.
The three of them were all covered with living talismans by Lao Liu's head, standing with their backs on their backs, shining the figure opposite with a flashlight. The figure seemed to be approaching slowly. Under the flashlight, it seemed as thin as a kite, and its feet were hanging in the air.
"President Zhang... What is this?" Qin Ge was sweating on his head, he clamped the flashlight under his armpit, and pulled out the pistol with a whisper. Although it means that he knew that this thing was not good, as a modern person, holding the gun in his hand was more at ease than a pig's knife.
"It seems to be the Eight Immortals Bureau..." Zhang Guozhong replied that this was what Ma Zhenren mentioned when he was explaining the "Three Evils Bureau" when Zhao Le was explaining the "Three Evils Bureau". In addition to the "Zhongjin Bureau", there is also a kind of evil instruments specially used in the "Canmu tomb" called the "Eight Immortals Bureau", also known as the "Flesh Skin Bureau". As the name suggests, it is the instrument that uses human skin to descend. The method is to place a piece of human skin in each of the eight directions of Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui. If there are people who break into the tomb, they will be inexplicably covered by these human skin. If there are accomplices, they will suddenly be covered with a layer of human skin and become another person. I don't know what they will be scared. Although the "Eight Immortals Bureau" is only a legend, the function of this tomb is definitely not just scary.
"Isn't that... a thing from the descendant religion...?" Old Liu had also heard of the "Eight Immortals Bureau", but the old people's thoughts were always conservative. The descendant technique was something from the late Song Dynasty. This was the treasure of the Later Jin Dynasty. It was nearly a thousand years apart, so I didn't think about that. Although it was not sure whether it was the descendant technique and I had no idea, judging from the crazy swaying of the compass pointer, the things I encountered this time were more powerful than before, and it could even be said to be not of the same order of magnitude.
"Calm down... be sure to be calm..." Zhang Guozhong kept reminding himself that this is the way the master has always taught him in danger. Everything has a way to crack it. Thinking calmly is the only way to solve the danger.
"We must first figure out how big this hole is!" Zhang Guozhong gritted his teeth. Although it was difficult to explain the treasures of the late Song Dynasty's surrender technique in the Later Jin Dynasty, these people who seemed to be floating can only be temporarily dealt with according to the "Eight Immortals Bureau". If this is really the "Eight Immortals Bureau", if you want to find the "Journal Heart", you must understand the shape and size of the tomb.
Hearing Zhang Guozhong say this, Qin Ge immediately took out a strange "tube gun" from his bag. After a hurry, he looked at the opposite side and immediately lit half of the cave. At this time, Qin Ge shone another shot in front of him. If you want to say that the flare is powerful, the power of the three men's military flashlight dropped, and it can only emit ten meters at most. However, as soon as these two flares came out, the layout of the entire cave was revealed in front of the three men. It turned out that this hole was not a square that the three men guessed like the three men touched an elephant, but an irregular figure similar to the shape of a cat's claw. At this moment, the three men were standing on the side of the "cat claw". Looking forward, there was less than thirty meters, and there were all boxes, which must be gold bricks, and there were dozens of tons without hundreds of tons. In the middle finger of the "cat claw", there was a black square door hole, which must be the "entry".
Some people say that money can make people forget death, and Lao Liu is a typical example. At this time, Lao Liu's attention had long shifted from the figures around him. Seeing so many "golden boxes", he was excited first, and then depressed. In his imagination, the treasure cave should be full of antiques, calligraphy, paintings, pearls and jade, but now it seems that it really corresponds to the saying "antiques and gold in troubled times". If these boxes were all gold, it would be good to take one or two pieces away by yourself. Alas... Let's cry with the Jinshan...
At this time, Qin Ge's attention was also shifted from the figure to the surroundings of the treasure cave, hoping to find a place where the imperial seal could be released by the flare. Only Zhang Guozhong carved the approximate shape of the hole on the ground with a dagger as quickly as possible. He looked carefully and gestured with his fingers for a few times. After Zhang Guozhong pulled the corner of Lao Liu's head in cold sweat, "Senior brother... look at this terrain..."
As he was talking, Qin Ge suddenly noticed a stone platform in the middle of the treasure cave, with a jade box on it.
"President Zhang! What is that?" Qin Ge pointed at Shitai.
As soon as Qin Ge spoke, Zhang Guozhong did not look at the stone platform. Instead, he remembered the figures just now. He looked up suddenly and looked around. It was strange that the flares illuminated the treasure cave. The figures disappeared without realizing it. After a few seconds of distracting, the three of them looked for the figures, but they were gone.
