Out of caution, Uncle Yan provided an ideal tool for our two pathfinders.
That was his bamboo pole that looked dull and yellow in the daytime, but at this time it was a piece of green and seemed to be covered with dragon patterns. The bamboo poles were disassembled by Uncle Yan before, and now they are directly assembled into two poles about two meters each.
The length of the pole was handed to both of us.
"Use it to explore the road, it will be safer for you."
After thanking Uncle Yan, we used our pennies to move forward slowly along the repeatedly patterned corridor in front of us, just like guide dogs, carefully tapping on the ground to see if there was anything ahead.
Unknown, triggering mechanism.
There is almost no decoration in this corridor, only a pair of lamps connected to the wall will appear on the wall, about three meters apart.
Speaking of lamps, although they illuminate the surrounding space and the path under our feet, we don’t like the shape at all. They are all made of the same Qi Ji as a human pig, with disheveled hair raised high outside the jar.
A ferocious human head with a burning fire in its wide open mouth.
The crowd surrounded by such a figure were all speechless after entering the passage, with only the sound of messy footsteps echoing around.
It is precisely because of this appearance that Professor Chen did not dare to go up rashly to check whether there might be any fuel, wick, etc. material problems inside.
In order to save electricity, the emergency lights in our hands were turned off. Only the swaying firelight reflected our elongated figures, whether it was on the walls on both sides, or on the ground in front or behind, we were everywhere.
The shadows are swaying around, adding a lot of horror atmosphere.
Everyone unconsciously moved closer to the companion in the middle and moved forward carefully.
The old man said that when walking at night, don't look around in private, let alone look around. It is prescient, just like what we are now.
Someone from behind suddenly shouted, "You...there's someone behind you!"
Everyone stopped instantly and turned to look at the person who made the noise. Miaomiao was so frightened that she hugged one of my arms and turned around together.
The person who spoke was a boy walking in the second to last row. He was pointing in the direction of Captain Liao with a look of horror on his face, and he was still retreating, moving closer to the main force.
The last ones to break away were Captain Liao and Xiao Zhao. They were standing still, with pale faces and beads of sweat streaming down their foreheads, but they did not dare to turn around to see if there was anything following behind them.
I handed Miao Miao to Uncle Yan who was wearing red gloves, told me not to be too scared, and walked through the queue towards the back.
The area behind Captain Liao was within my line of sight, but I didn't see where the so-called 'person' who was following him was. Behind that was the path we had walked, and not even an extra stone was found.
"What's wrong? Don't be so surprised. Is there anyone else here besides us?"
The male voice who just shouted was also very scared. He pointed behind Captain Liao with trembling hands, "There is...I saw it...there really is...just now I accidentally glanced behind me and saw Captain Liao."
There is a dark shadow behind, and it is definitely not one of our own, they are walking at the back!"
"Don't scare yourself, it might be the firelight."
"No, no... I'm sure of this! There is only a shadow very close to him behind Captain Liao, but not behind Xiao Zhao. When the shadow is walking, it will sometimes be higher than our figures, revealing our figures.
It's illogical to reach above the shoulders. How can a normal person walk so high for a while, and even a head taller than a normal person for a while? That's not just floating!"
This paragraph scared everyone. Even Captain Liao, who did not believe in evil, couldn't help but look at me for help. I walked directly behind him, looked around him, and then said, "Maybe
It’s an illusion, there is nothing. If it really doesn’t work, go ahead and explore the way. Lang Hongyi and I will stop behind.”
After walking in for a thousand meters, there were no traps or abnormalities, no rolling stones, no hidden arrows, and no flip-flops.
Captain Liao could only listen to my advice and walked to the front with the poles in our hands. Lang Hongyi and I stood at the end and continued to move forward with the big team.
The boy just now was a little frightened and had already squeezed to the front position. He still kept looking back and looked back, which made me feel a little confused.
I couldn't help but remind, "This is an ancient tomb after all. It's a dark place that doesn't see the sun all year round. It's best not to look back when walking, and don't look around, and don't pat others on the shoulder when you call them. Don't you know that people have three fires?
?”
After hearing this, the boy hurriedly made a turtle shape and no longer dared to look around. He only looked at the road under his feet and the heels of the person in front of him.
When we reached the end of the team, I already signaled Lang Hongyi to pay attention. After all, as a person with a pure Yang destiny, it would be difficult for me to be approached by an active Yin creature. This was not the case with Lang Hongyi. He was a person with a Ghost Star destiny.
If there is something real, it will definitely be attracted to him automatically.
After walking for about ten minutes, I felt that the corridor under my feet seemed to be straight, but in fact it was not. It had a slight curvature, which made us take a detour, and it also continued faintly downward.
People's eyes can sometimes be deceiving. I took out a coin from my pocket, squatted down and placed it gently on the ground.
If there is no slope on the ground, the coin will stand on the ground. If there is a real angle change in the horizontal direction, it will roll towards the lower side.
The result was obvious. My guess was correct. As expected, after I let go, the coin rolled forward, and was undoubtedly stepped on by the person in front of me while walking.
The man may have felt something foreign under his feet, and subconsciously turned his head to look in our direction. The next moment he showed a horrified expression and let out a scream.
You know, the screams that boys burst out when they are scared are definitely not as different as the girls' dolphin sounds. The shrill sounds startled everyone.
My first reaction was that he was coming... I didn't have time to change the situation inside, so I directly used the dagger in my hand that was always on guard, turned sideways, and stabbed Lang Hongyi behind him.
Lang Hongyi reacted very quickly, lowered his body, rolled on the spot, quickly stood up, and faced the position behind him.
Now everyone who looked back could clearly see that right behind Lang Hongyi, at the place where I stabbed him, there was a thing with no facial features and a dark body with only a shadow. It trembled and retracted, ready to grab Lang Hongyi and pull him over.
The black shadow's waist resists my dagger.
The black shadow was injured and made a squeaking sound. Just as it was about to drill into the ground under its feet, it was nailed to the ground by another sword thrown by Lang Hongyi. The black gradually faded and turned into an illusion at the last moment.
The clothes and facial features of the translucent human figure appeared, but they did not fade away, and the outline of the body became lighter and lighter.
Eventually it disappeared, leaving nothing behind.
Maybe the scene just now was beyond imagination, all the students and Professor Chen stood on the spot trembling. After a long time, when Lang Hongyi and I took back the daggers in our hands and prepared to move forward.
Professor Chen asked with a trembling voice, "Then... what is that?"
"Sacrifice the soul with soil." I spat out three words. Seeing that not many people understood, I directly added, "The resentment of those who were buried alive is also the ghost in ordinary people's perception."
