Chapter 88 Insect Jade
The Black Buddha is said to have a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, but it is actually just a name. It does not mean that the statue actually has a thousand hands and a thousand eyes. The black Buddha statue made of rotten jade is as tall as an ordinary person, and there are dozens or strange figures behind it.
There are more than a hundred eyes in the whole body of the statue, which were originally closed, but suddenly opened. Those eyes have no pupils, but they are constantly moving as if they are alive.
Father Thomas was so frightened by the countless maggot-like eyes on the black Buddha that he hurriedly asked Elder Chen: What are these eyes and when did they open? Are they eyes or bugs?
Although Elder Liaochen is well-informed, he has never seen the rotten jade and the black Buddha with his own eyes. He has only heard from his seniors that there are such two things in the world, and they have been extinct for a long time. Those seniors don't know what they are, and what they said
The content is very limited. Is there really an undead soul in this black Buddha? Otherwise, how can the black Buddha seem to be alive?
I saw black mist that was as thick as solidification emerging from the hundreds of strange eyes of the Black Buddha statue. This black mist condensed into one in the cabinet. Through the flickering light of the candles, I could see the outline of the black mist.
It is a vague black Buddha statue.
At this time, Partridge Whistle, who had just vomited blood, also regained consciousness. Seeing this terrifying black mist, he and Father Thomas, the elder of Chen, were both astonished. There are always many strange and mysterious things in the ancient tomb, and Partridge Whistle's
He had seen many things in his tomb robbing career, and it was difficult for him to be surprised by anything. However, this black mist was really unexpected. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, how would he have believed that such evil things existed in the world.
Father Thomas thought it was an evil spirit, so he took out a bottle of holy water, opened the bottle cap, and raised his hand to splash the black mist. The black mist like splashing ink originally moved very slowly, but when water was splashed, the black mist suddenly moved quickly.
A big hole opened in the middle; Father Thomas' holy water was poured out, passed through the big hole in the black mist and fell on the ground of the tomb; the big hole opened in the black mist was just in the middle of the outline of the Buddha statue, as if it were a black Buddha
It opened its big black mouth and roared silently at the three people.
Partridge Whistle saw that the black mist seemed to be afraid of Father Thomas's holy water, so he asked Father Thomas to pour some more holy water. Father Thomas shrugged and said: No more, just half a bottle.
Elder Liaochen held the Buddhist beads and said: The foreign monk's method is quite good. It turns out that the evil mist is afraid of magical weapons. It seems that the moment of great destruction has passed. What can the crooked evil evil do to me? Let's see if I come to collect it. After that,
He tore off the string of beads in his hand and smashed the beads into the black mist.
Unexpectedly, the unusually thick black mist did not react at all this time. He continued to move forward slowly as if he was hit by the beads. Elder Liaochen secretly wondered: This is really strange. Could it be that my Buddha's boundless power is not as good as the Western holy water?
What kind of world is this?
Partridge Whistle saw Elder Chen was stunned and quickly pulled him. The three of them were forced to retreat by the black mist. This black mist was emitted from the rotten jade. There are two possibilities for encountering it: one is
Just like the white skeleton, the skin, flesh and internal organs of the whole body immediately rotted and turned into pus, leaving only a skeleton; another possibility is that the black mist is what Elder Liaochen said has a ghost in it, and it will instantly turn into pus when it touches a stranger.
Haunted by evil spirits.
No matter which one it is, it is miserable. He has retreated to the corner with no way out. Looking at the slowly approaching black mist, Partridge Whistle knows that the time has come. He said to Elder Chen: This disciple has dragged down his teacher today.
, a hundred deaths will never redeem you.
Elder Liaochen was just about to say some subtle Buddhist principles to Partridge Whistle to show that he had already accepted the matter of life and death, but he realized that the black mist like a wall not far away in front of him was not coming towards the three of him, but towards him.
He moved towards the candle in the other corner. Captain Jin had an instinctive reaction to the candle and had a sudden thought in his heart: Why did the black mist move towards the candle?
Partridge Whistle also discovered this situation: Black Mist
Father Thomas, the elder of Liaochen, and Partridge Whistle said almost in unison: Candle
When we first entered the ancient tomb, the partridge whistle was illuminated by a phosphorescent tube on a gold steel umbrella. The phosphorescent light disperses blue light. It is a cold light source without any temperature, so from the time we entered the ancient tomb until we saw the black Buddha
There was nothing unusual about the white bones. Just when he wanted to go back, Father Thomas, who was originally walking at the end, became the person walking at the front. He lit the candle given to him by the Partridge Whistle to light the way, and suddenly he suddenly disappeared from the scene.
Black mist emerged from the tunnel under the Jade Gate. Everyone was forced into a cabinet to hide by the black mist. Until Elder Chen lit a candle for illumination and opened the box, the black Buddha with many hands and eyes suddenly changed. The Buddha opened his eyes and appeared.
There were streams of black smoke.
Yes, it must be the temperature. Although I don’t know the reason, the black mist is drawn out by the temperature of the candle like moths flying into the fire. It must be that the air in the tomb chamber reaches a certain temperature before it appears, and it must
It is a high enough temperature. If you don't light candles or torches, this kind of black mist will probably not appear at all. This black mist seems to be in a sleeping state. Once awakened by the high temperature of the flame, it will destroy the tomb.
All targets that have exceeded the temperature of the material will be destroyed before it will subside.
As expected, the black mist first targeted the candles on the ground. The thick black mist seemed invisible but actually had substance. In an instant, the candle's flame was engulfed by the black mist, and the tomb immediately became pitch black.
When Partridge Whistle and others saw this scene, they knew that the black mist emanating from the black Buddha would immediately find a target with a temperature higher than that of the candle after swallowing the candle. That must be the three living people in the cabinet.
Endorsement in the book: Fuyu, also known as spray in traditional Chinese characters. The word "worm" is replaced by the word "worm" next to the word "worm". It is produced in a valley in Afghanistan. It is a very strange thing. This kind of insect jade itself has many strange characteristics.
, has always been a legendary and mysterious substance that is extremely rare. Ancient people believed that this living stone had some kind of evil soul attached to it. As long as the flame was burned near the insect jade, a large amount of thick and dense flames would be emitted from it.
It is like a black mist that has solidified together; after the black mist passes, all nearby substances that have exceeded a certain temperature are corroded into pus. It is not that the human body will turn into pus as soon as it touches the rotten jade as Elder Liaochen heard, but it must first be
Black mist is caused by high temperature, and the black mist will have a corrosive effect on nearby materials. Insect Jade itself does not have this effect.
In ancient times, there was a cult that took advantage of the fact that the black mist emitted from insect jade would form a vague multi-armed humanoid outline. It materialized the outline of the human head and created a dark Buddha statue. It claimed that darkness would eventually replace light, and attracted a large number of people.
Believers, this sect was later completely eradicated. Since then, the very rare insect jade also disappeared from the world. It was not until modern times that it was rediscovered in the ruins of Kamankarehoyuk, Turkey, during a joint archaeological activity.
This kind of strange stone only existed in ancient literature records. As for why this black Buddha appeared in the ruins of Kamankarehoyuk, it is impossible to verify. We can only judge that it is possible that the stone was spread there in ancient times.
The secret of rotten jade was cracked by American scientists at the end of the 19th century. In fact, this mysterious window paper can be broken with a poke, and it is similar to the Chinese Cordyceps sinensis. The so-called Cordyceps sinensis is the stroma and larvae corpse of the fungus Cordyceps sinensis parasitized on the larvae of bat moths.
The compound, as its name suggests, means "worm" in the day and "grass" in the summer. If the word "worm" is replaced with the word "worm" next to the stone, it means that the normal temperature is like stone and jade. If there is a flame and high temperature, it will turn into insects and gather in a big group.
The black bugs that are gathered together are extremely small. Individual sprays of traditional Chinese characters can be barely distinguished with the naked eye when the word "口" is replaced by the word "worm" next to the word "worm". When gathered together in large numbers, they look like thick black smoke. They are usually in a state of death, and large numbers of them look like thick black smoke.
The traditional Chinese characters for "spray" are replaced with the character "worm" next to the word "口". The insect corpses stacked together look like black jade. When the insect corpses inside the shell sense the sharp changes in the nearby air temperature, they will undergo a process of metamorphosis and will be shed.
The white corpse skins gather together and fly out. The traditional Chinese characters for these squirts that burst out of the cocoon are replaced by the Chinese character for worm. They will secrete a large amount of corrosive liquid through continuous death and devour all nearby high-temperature objects.
, including flames, can be extinguished by the liquid of insect corpses.
To a certain extent, insect jade can be said to be a very sharp guardian of the tomb. Countless traditional Chinese characters appear from the stone, and the characters next to the characters for "口" are replaced with the characters for "worm" to form an insect tent, which is enough to cover the entire area of the tomb.
.
Of course, both Partridge Whistle and Elder Liao Chen are very superstitious and gold-touching captains. It was their first time to see the legendary and evil insect jade. In addition, the mystery of the insect jade had never been solved in that era, so in
It seems to them that the phenomenon in front of them must be caused by evil spirits.
Partridge Whistle and the other three people had already figured out that the black mist would preferentially attack targets with high temperatures. In order to divert the black mist, they lit a few candles. The black mist was led to the corner by the heat of the candles, and the corner was connected with the ancient tomb.
The flap wall in the attic exposed a large gap.
Elder Liaochen and others took Honglian Miaoxin Pills before entering the ancient tomb. This secret medicine can lower the body temperature and slow down the human breathing rhythm, so the black mist will not easily detect these three activities when it is attracted by the temperature of the candle.
Seeing that it was too late to attack the hole, the Partridge Whistle had to stick to the wall to avoid the black fog and prepare to return to the main tomb chamber through the pavilion, divert the black ghost fog there, and exit through the passage under the Jade Gate.
When Elder Liao Chen went out, he took the dragon bone with different texts in the box. There were many strange symbols engraved on the dragon bone, many of which were shaped like the Muchen Bead. Maybe the whereabouts of the Phoenix gall Muchen Bead would eventually be found
It will land on this different-text dragon bone; this dragon bone armor is so hidden in the cabinet, it must have its value.
At this time, Partridge Whistle and Father Thomas had already pushed the long-bright light mechanism on the wall, and called Elder Chen to leave. Elder Chen quickly caught up, and the mechanism wall spun around, but stopped halfway, as if it was stuck somewhere.
He is dead, and he is surrounded by enemies from both sides and has no way to advance or retreat. Book alliance
