In the darkness, Lin Hai's words were like a bomb that exploded in everyone's hearts.
How could there be anyone in this ancient tomb that had been sealed for hundreds of years?
Could it be...a ghost?!
One-Eye pulled out his pistol and bared his teeth: "You brat, don't fucking scare people by saying these nonsense. Are you trying to play a trick?"
Lin Hai raised his hands and said with a trembling voice: "There is really someone! I didn't scare you! Come and see for yourselves!"
Master Qi winked at Miss Ding: "Let's go over and have a look!"
Master Qi and Miss Ding walked carefully behind Lin Hai and asked in a low voice: "Where is there?"
Lin Hai swallowed, pointed forward and said: "There... there... do you see it? There seems to be a figure squatting there!"
Master Qi and Miss Ding raised their powerful flashlights, and the snow-white beam of light shot past, and the figure immediately came into their sight.
Is there really anyone?!
Lin Hai's scalp exploded and his hair stood up in fear. He screamed and wanted to run away.
Master Qi grabbed Lin Hai's arm and said in a deep voice: "Stop fucking screaming and see clearly, that's just a dead man!"
Lin Hai slowly opened his eyes and saw Miss Ding walking towards the figure.
This time, Lin Hai finally saw things clearly.
That was indeed a person, and a child at that.
The child was only about six or seven years old. He was wearing a cheerful little cloth coat and his face was smeared with rouge and pink. He looked like he was alive. It was really strange to see such a child in red in this strange ancient tomb.
It gives people chills in their hearts.
Lin Hai took courage and stepped forward to take a look. He saw the child kneeling on the ground, arms raised above his head, holding a tray with half-solidified candles in it. What was horrifying was that a
A white wax thread passed through the tray and penetrated into the child's head.
Lin Hai immediately understood that the tray was actually a lamp, and this lamp was actually connected to the child's head. Oh my God, Lin Hai's pupils suddenly dilated. Could it be...could this be the legendary...
…
"Child's lantern! This is a boy's lantern!" Cai Hu walked up to Lin Hai at some point and said this darkly behind Lin Hai. His breath sprayed on Lin Hai's neck, startling Lin Hai.
Cai Hu walked up to the child and squatted down. He held up a flashlight and observed the child carefully. He sighed quietly: "The workmanship is really exquisite!"
"Exquisite?!" Master Qi couldn't help but frown: "Scholar, your damn tastes are really heavy!"
Cai Hu's face flashed with excitement: "You laymen have no idea! In ancient times, this was really a beautiful work of art! These children were growing up bit by bit when they were alive.
Feed them mercury, and when the mercury completely corrodes their bodies, they will die. But the bodies of children who die in this way will not rot, nor will they be attacked by insects and ants. The craftsmen will then hollow out their internal organs.
, pour oil into them, and make them into funeral lamps!" As he said that, Cai Hu took out a windproof lighter and lit the candle in the lamp. The candle light swayed and soon burned, and it was slightly
It's blue and very weird.
"Why do they use children to make lamps?" asked the wild boar.
Cai Hu said: "After some ancient emperors died, they liked to bury some boys and girls with them. The ancients believed that these boys had the effect of attracting souls and could welcome their souls to the paradise world!"
Having said this, Cai Hu paused and said, "This is a boy's lamp. Correspondingly, there should be a boy's lamp on the other side of the tomb passage. And if you continue going down, there must be many more!"
Lin Hai sighed heavily in his heart, God has mercy on these cruel rulers, let their souls go to hell!
