Chapter 154 Longevity Candle

The candlelight in the corner of the tomb chamber is the same as the placement of the three demon coffins in the room, arranged in the "△" shape. This kind of light is familiar to me, and it must be the three candles that the fat man just lit.

However, to the right of the three candles, there are two other rows of faint blue lights, appearing vertically on the wall, with three or three as columns. This light can only make people notice light in dark places, while the dark blue light source itself has no illumination, and the dark place is still so dark, but in this dark area, there are six dark blue "ghost fires".

The huge bronze coffin hanging on the copper ring was also passing through the sound of copper and iron rubbing. I thought to myself that this must be the sound of zombies scratching the lid of the coffin inside. Why did the corpse change as soon as I entered the Yin Palace? Could it be that I wiped the dust from the copper coffin with my hand just now? The ancient corpse in the coffin felt the anger of a living person. No, I remember I was wearing gloves.

I thought about it again, not to mention where the six "ghost fires" came from, the life lamps of our three "Golden-Touching Captains" are still there, and the location is still good. Therefore, at least so far, there have been no signs of "corpse transformation" or dirty things such as evil spirits in this tomb. I don't know what is causing the problem.

When I thought of this, I calmed down and shouted in the tomb: "Commander Wang, what rag are you picking up? Get out of here quickly, otherwise you will be engaged in military law."

The fat man showed his head from the other end of the bronze coffin and asked, "Commander Hu, are you looking for me? I opened a good thing from this bronze coffin, it seems to be gold." After saying that, he raised the round metal object and walked over.

I took it and saw it. I saw it. I looked at it. I looked away from the dust on it. The surface of the bronze mirror was still illuminated. It was not rusted. The back was colorful. There was a circle of golden "stones" around the mirror to decorate it. These round stones were easily mistaken for gold. Although the back of the bronze mirror was ragged, it gave people a unique decadent beauty of ancient cultural relics. What is the bronze mirror installed on the copper coffin? Is it a thousand-year-old corpse that suppressed it? I have never heard of such things. I handed the mirror to the fat man and said, "This is a bronze mirror. The one inlaid on the back is stone, not gold. Wherever you get it, put it back quickly. When we have a big deal, don't delay the main business for these insignificant artifacts."

Shirley Yang asked the fat man: "How many candles did you slap in the southeast corner of the tomb just now?"

When the fat man heard Shirley Yang ask about this, he couldn't help but say wondering: "Three, it's so good that I'm a cultural person. Can you still not know the number? Look..." As he said that, he turned around and looked at it, and was stunned. He also saw that in addition to the three candles, there were six dark and gloomy blue lights, which seemed to be fire. Because the fire source was too weak and difficult to burn fully, the light emitted was blue, just like the ghost fire in the wilderness of the grave.

I saw that the six ghostly blue lights were indeed not done by the fat man, but as long as the three candles are not extinguished, there will be no danger. I should go over and see clearly that the three coffins in the tomb are very strong and will take some time to open. So if there are any evil signs, kill them and sprout as soon as possible, and don’t let them cause obstacles to us looking for “dust dust beads” in the tomb.

The ability to light a candle in the tomb chamber means that the oxygen is gradually increasing. I first glanced with a flashlight, but the tomb chamber was buried deep underground. In the absolutely dark space, the air was somewhat impurities. After illuminating for a long time, I couldn't see what was there.

I felt that the heavy vision glass of the gas mask could not be seen clearly, so I took off the gas mask temporarily, hung it on my chest, changed into a pair of masks, put it on, carried M1A1, led Shirley Yang and Fatty over to check it out.

The location where the strange blue light light is lit up is right next to the door of the tomb chamber. Since the tomb chamber in the Yin Palace is not small, the candles that Fatty lit in the corner of the wall are relatively concentrated, and the light of the candle is very limited. The distance between the two light sources is about eight or nine meters away, and no one can shine on each other.

When we walked to five meters away from the "Ghost Fire", the "Wolf Eye" could already illuminate the tomb wall clearly. As soon as we entered the tomb chamber, our eyes were attracted by the three coffins in the middle. The range of light sources we carried with us was limited, so we didn't notice that there was something next to the door opening of the inner chamber.

The first one to enter the range of "Wolf Eye" was a strange face full of black scales. This long face had no lips, only two rows of sharp teeth with open halberds. The faint light of the "ghost fire" emerged from her mouth.

When the fat man and I first saw such a hateful and terrifying face, one thought in our mind was an "evil ghost". We also forgot to think about whether the bullet works. We raised the "Chicago Typewriter" that had been on fire, and we were about to shoot immediately.

Shirley Yang had two night eyes and his eyesight was extremely powerful. He often saw clearly in the darkness than me and the fat man. She suddenly said, "It's a black-scale mermaid... It doesn't matter, they are all dead. It turns out that this is the eternal lamp in the ancient tomb, the candle of rebirth."

I slowly lowered the raised muzzle. We had talked about the everlasting lights in the underground palace that lasted for thousands of years. I didn't expect to meet them as soon as I came in. I couldn't help but feel curious: "Is there really a mermaid in the world? Isn't that just the ancient name for manatee?" So I took a few steps closer and wanted to see what the mermaids covered with black scales looked like.

I saw that it was a copper pillar embedded in the tomb wall for two moments. Each copper pillar was divided into upper, middle and lower, with six monster mummies tied to it. These mermaids looked like women on the upper body, and also had two breasts. The neck was very thin and their gills grew on the neck. However, they did not have human skin, and their bodies were sparsely black scales, and only had scales on their belly.

The corpse seemed to have been treated with special treatment, dry and hard, and it did not rot in the Yin Palace. There were chains on the copper pillars. Six mermaids were worn on the pipa bones and sat in a squat and kneeling position, locking them on the copper pillars, just from top to bottom, evenly lined up. Their mouths were surprisingly large and all were wide open. I shone the "wolf eyes" flashlight in and found that the mermaids' throats were blocked by white objects similar to asbestos. A piece of turf was inserted into the dry and hard tongue, igniting a dim blue light.

The fat man curiously poked the mermaid with the barrel of M1A1, and his dead body was already hard: "It's different from the mermaid I imagined, but it looks strange and they all stand up. It seems that there is no chance to sell it to the zoo. The nature museum in our capital really lacks such a specimen."

I saw that although this black-scale mermaid was strange, it was just an ordinary "candle of immortality" in the underground palace. It was a prop that symbolically indicated that since the tomb owner's body had been destroyed and his soul still existed, I immediately put down my hanging heart, took out a fragrant eye, lit the blue fire from the mermaid's mouth, spit the smoke ring on the fat man's face, and said to him: "Mr. Wang has a relatively high awareness this time. He did not only think of the individual, but first consider the country, the big collective. If you resist it and give it to the Natural Museum, fill the gap in this field, and maybe you can even mess with the certificate."

Shirley Yang said to me: "This is not the first time I discovered that many people have found mermaid corpses in the world. The US Navy has also caught a living one. It is said that the ointment of mermaids in the sea is not only very low, but only one drop can burn for several months. In ancient times, there were often used oil as a ten thousand-year lamp in the tombs of nobles. However, I have never heard of it. I think this is related to the legendary fairy mountain in the Qin and Han Dynasties. "

I thought that the ancient Chinese tomb system had recorded the longevity candle in detail, and my heart suddenly sank, and said to Shirley Yang: "You only know one or two, but not the third. Legend has it that the East China Sea mermaids have the most lustful nature and their mouths are bloodthirsty. They all live under an island formed by dead corals in the sea. The coral caves under the island are intertwined and crisscrossed. It is unknown. There is the old nest of mermaids. They make noises in the nearby waters, attracting passers-by and the victims.

All of them were eaten so much that they could not even have bones left. Someone caught a living black-scale mermaid, slaughtered it and dried it, poured it into a candle of longevity, worth three thousand gold pearls. I have heard my grandfather tell these stories before. I used to think it was just a story, but now it seems that it is true. In addition, the closed and stable micro-environment in the tomb was broken by us, and the fire Rong was burning when it encountered the air, so these... ghost fires suddenly lit up, and I don't think this is surprising."

The strangest thing is that there are six "Changsheng Candles" in total. According to the tomb system, the "Changsheng Candles" in the underground palace are only available in the tomb. Unlike the ten thousand-year-old lamp, the "Changsheng Candles" corresponds to an important corpse in the tomb. Of course, it is not available to those who are burying the tomb. For example, if a couple is burying the tomb together, there are often two "Changsheng Candles" in front of the coffin.

The fat man counted with his fingers: "There are only three coffins in the tomb, and we have three living people. **** His ancestors, can we even count them?"

Shirley Yang shook his head and said, "No, I think King Xian would not be in the three coffins in the middle of the tomb. Although his coffin cannot leave the area of ​​this tomb, it must be hidden very deeply. The three older sets of coffins, including the corpses, represent the previous life of King Xian, and these are four corpses. Lao Hu once said that there are male and female animal carvings on the Three Worlds Bridge. This king's tomb is a combined tomb, which means there are at least five corpses here, but in this way, the number of corpses and the Candle of the Longevity is still not comparable to..."

As we were talking, a gust of cold wind blew, and the three candles in the southeast corner of the tomb were all gone. A harsh sound of nails and claws scratching metal came from the bronze coffin behind us. In the quiet and gloomy underground palace, this sound could deeply impact the human cerebral cortex, causing a strong overwhelming sense of fear from the inside out. We immediately turned around and the fat man said to me: "Reassure Chairman Mao that I really didn't do this this time."
