Seeing that Lao Jiang and He Lanxue were about to take action, however, at the critical moment, Yin Ling'er released a group of strange bugs. The bugs were a bit like fireflies, with little bits of light hanging from their tails.
But their heads are golden. If you look closely, they really look like big tigers.
The insects flew outward along the gaps in the tent, and the tall and slender ghost figures caused by the little light were spinning in place. One of the shadows raised a spear, but the spear fell and did not hurt the flying insects.
Shadow continued to repeat the mechanical action, but it was still useless.
At this moment, I heard a desolate horn sound from the distance, which seemed to order the ghost to return to the team.
The group of headless shadows didn’t waste any more time, formed a line and finally left!
When there was no movement outside the tent, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. I was about to speak, but I stopped talking when I reached my lips. After all, who knows how good those shadows’ ears are? It would be a big deal if he came back halfway.
After a long time, we could no longer see the group of shadows, and could no longer hear the ghosts crying. Only the whistling wind blew the sand back and forth, and the hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
Lao Jiang glanced at his watch, exhaled and said, "It's past twelve o'clock, it should be fine."
I quickly slapped my chest and couldn't help but said: "I was really scared to death just now. Those things were outside our tent..."
Qiu Xiuxiu drew a match, lit the kerosene lamp again, then blew out the match and said, "Thanks to this lovely little girl, we have to thank her very much."
Yin Ling'er raised the corners of her mouth with a proud look on her face.
I asked her what the names of those flying insects were and why they didn’t light up in the bamboo basket.
Yin Ling'er said: "You are stupid, of course you don't light up when you sleep. I met these little cuties when I was lost in the Shiwanda Mountains in Miao territory when I was a child. Later, they followed me and their names were Little Stars. You also You can call them your savior.”
I was choked by Yin Ling'er and couldn't speak. It took me a long time to say: "I just think it looks like my big tiger. Just ask me."
Yin Ling'er was too lazy to pay attention to me, but looked at Lao Jiang curiously, asking him what was going on outside just now. Could it be that the tall and thin figure was really a Yin soldier?
When Lao Jiang was about to explain, there was a rustling sound from the tent next door. Platoon Leader Zhang lowered his voice and carefully asked us if the crisis was over now. He saw that we were all chatting here.
Lao Jiang answered them: "Yes, it won't be a big problem after twelve o'clock..."
After a while, Platoon Leader Zhang and others poured in from the tent next door, as if they would feel safer with us.
However, our tent was limited and there were too many people to accommodate, so Lao Jiangshou suggested setting up a campfire and chatting outside.
The soldiers set up three large bonfires. Everyone gathered around the bonfires and discussed the horrific scene just now. Explain that you just heard a group of strange soldiers passing by outside, but why they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At first, I thought there was a sneak attack by bandits, but I soon discovered that the other party had no head, so I didn't dare to rush out rashly.
Lin Jianye and Qiu Xiuxiu told them the story of Ghost Jingsha again. After everyone heard about the fate of the group of tomb robbers, they all touched their heads in fear, thinking that if they had been the first to rush out just now, they would probably be dead by now. His head was also borrowed by those headless Yin soldiers.
At this time, a geologist named Heimu in the team explained: "This is probably a natural phenomenon! It is similar to a popular saying among us - Yin soldiers borrowing the path."
The so-called Yin soldiers borrowing the road means that at night when the Yin Qi is particularly strong, a group of soldiers who have been dead for many years can be seen walking on the road in the wilderness.
"Isn't this too mysterious?" A soldier didn't believe it and thought it was too ridiculous.
Kuroki shook his head and said that many people throughout the ages have personally experienced the incident of Yin soldiers taking advantage of the way. For example, Duan Chengshi, a scholar in the late Tang Dynasty, mentioned such an interesting incident in "Youyang Zazu". It is said that during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, in Luoyang, the eastern capital, it was midsummer and the sky was clear and cloudless. A group of sinister soldiers, numbering tens of thousands, suddenly appeared in mid-air. Each of those soldiers had green faces and fangs. The scene was very scary. At that time, the people were once I thought this was an ominous sign, and sure enough, the Anshi Rebellion broke out not long after. "
There is an evil place called Jingmanger in Yunnan. It is a gloomy ravine. As long as the horses of the mountain people reach Jingmanger, they will be blocked by some inexplicable obstacles. No matter how hard they are driven, they will not go back, as if It was as if he was frightened by something.
Once, a lost mountain man didn't know how he got around there, and saw with his own eyes the neighing of war horses, the intersection of swords and iron, and two strange armies fighting in the ravine. Although there were broken arms and legs everywhere, there was not a drop of blood. stay.
Later, according to an older man, it was probably the scene when the Shu army pacified the Southern Barbarians hundreds of years ago.
Not long after, the mountain man died.
In the end, Heimu gave a more scientific explanation: "I suspect that there was a large-scale war in Yin Xu, and this war was recorded by the magnetic field. It will be played in a loop every time when there is sandstorm, so that thousands of years ago The scene reappears.”
I couldn't help but frown and asked curiously: "Since it's just playing, how can they still hear our voices? Why did they almost attack us just now?"
Kuroki was stunned for a moment, obviously unable to answer...
At this time, Lao Jiang said: "Boy! All things are born, whether gods or ghosts, their existence is reasonable. Whenever you go to a place, remember not to touch the taboos of that place, otherwise only you will suffer."
The implication is to remind me that if I hadn't imitated the tiger's roar just now, I wouldn't have called that thing over at all.
But that’s not a good intention on my part.
This petty old ginger will bully me!
He Lanxue glanced at Lao Jiang with dissatisfaction and said in a deep voice, "Didn't we agree to take action in the dark? Not to mention the ghosts that frightened the sand, and it's hard to see outside now. Where are you going to find the entrance?"
Lao Jiang stood up with a smile, patted his butt and said, "Ximei, don't be impatient, now is the time."
He looked up at the starry sky, and saw that the weather was clear at this time, and the stars were distributed on the night sky like a chessboard, as bright as gems, and as vast as the ocean.
"It seems that God is also helping us." Lao Jiang sighed and ordered everyone to take action.
Platoon leader Zhang was surprised, wondering if he heard wrongly, and asked Lao Jiang if he was sure he wanted to look for the tomb in the middle of the night?
Lao Jiang nodded and said that if it were daytime, he would not be able to find it.
At this time, the bundles of white wax poles on the truck also came into use. Lao Jiang ordered us all to divide into the west team. He Lanxue led a team, Platoon Leader Zhang led a team, Lin Jianye led a team, and Qiu Xiuxiu led a team.
Each team carries ten white wax poles and sets off towards the southeast, northwest and northwest respectively.
Lao Jiang asked us to walk in all directions to the west, digging a pole into the soil every thousand steps, and come back when all the poles were pierced.
Although we were puzzled, considering that Lao Jiang knew everything, we could only do what he was told.
Before setting off, I specifically asked Lao Jiang what exactly could these poles do?
But he was leisurely warming himself by the fire, pretending to be mysterious and whetting his appetite.
"Jinglan, you are still not smart enough. I hope you can understand the purpose of being a teacher when you come back!"
That tone didn't sound like a kind and amiable master at all, but instead sounded like a cunning old fox...
