Jinpu Ngawang's actions also aroused Mustache's alertness. He held a weapon in one hand and did not forget to take a look inside the stone house. He was not surprised like Jinpu Ngawang who was caught unawares.
But his heart sank when he saw the monster lying on the ground.
There are indeed things locked up in the stone house.
Lying on the ground was something that Mustache and Jin Pu Awang had never seen before. It was about two meters long, with a tail and body like a crocodile, only the head looked like a leopard with its head raised. The two of them had no time to think so much, and were on guard.
, I plan to go up quickly from here.
But within a short period of time, Mustache discovered something strange. The monster in the room remained motionless. This discovery made Mustache stop and grab Jinpu Awang who turned to leave. He shined the light again
Went in and took a closer look.
"Stone carving?" Mustache was stunned for a moment, and Jinpu Awang also came over to take a look. The two of them calmed down a little. Looking at it like this, the monster lying on the ground seemed to have revealed its original shape. It was very carved.
It's so delicate that even people like Jinpu Ngawang had an illusion for a while.
"It's made of stone." Jinpu Awang picked up a piece of gravel and threw it in. The small stone collided with the monster and made a muffled sound. Immediately, Jinpu Awang breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself just now
The nervousness expresses embarrassment.
However, Mustache's mood is not at all relaxed. Regardless of whether this thing is real or fake, it must have a special meaning for being placed in the underground stone room. According to Mustache's experience, this monster must be made of
Come to town on something.
There seemed to be nothing else in the entire stone house except this monster carved out of stone. At this time, Xiaozi felt that with every breath he took, he could inhale a strong sense of darkness and weirdness, but in the end
, he still entered the stone house through the hole of only half a meter. The mustache will not shrink the bones, but a person who is a country crawler must have some old skills. The Jinpu Ngawang is not good, the flesh and bones are hard
, unless the skin and skin are removed and thrown in, you will definitely not be able to get in, and you will have to stand outside.
As soon as he stepped into this small stone house, his vision and senses became clearer, but the gloominess that made his mustache feel chilly was even more piercing. It was only then that he looked around and realized that there were only a few other people in the stone house.
In addition to this stone monster, there is a black mass hanging from each corner.
Since arriving in the Tibetan area, Mustache has had an inexplicable repulsion towards all kinds of hanging objects. It was completely impossible to tell what these four things that were dropped in the corner of the house were. Mustache looked at them for a long time before carefully looking at them.
He used an alloy tube to push one of them, but there was no sound or reaction. After he was sure it was correct, he started to take the thing off. The thing was fixed very firmly in the corner of the room, and in the end it was almost pulled off by force.
While the mass was being torn off, Mustache vaguely heard a shrill cry coming from his ears. The sound was so hazy that one could not tell whether it was an hallucination or not. This feeling was very unpleasant.
, Mustache was on full alert, but this extremely hazy sound suddenly rang out, as if blown away by the wind, and could no longer be heard. There was no sound for several minutes.
But staying here was not a good idea. Mustache took the plucked thing and came out of the small hole again. He and Jinpu Awang returned to the ground and began to observe the thing. There were only these two things in the stone house.
I don't recognize the monster at all, so I can only start with this mass.
The mass was as dry and hard as a hollow iron sheet. Although a long time had passed, the airtight stone house had isolated some environmental erosion. The mass was a little twisted, but after looking at it for a while, Mustache felt that it looked like
A lantern.
"Lantern!" After Mustache saw that it was a lantern, some things he had heard in the past flashed through his mind like lightning, and his hands trembled slightly: "The lantern in the stone house!"
"Is this a lantern?"
"A very special lantern." Mustache wiped away all the dust on the outside of the thing. This "lantern" has become hard and black, as if one side has been dyed with ink, but as long as you observe it carefully, it will become clear.
You will find that the surface of the "lantern" is covered with half-moon-like marks that are not very clear one after another.
"Why is it special? I just feel strange." Jinpu Ngawang said: "This kind of house cannot be inhabited by people. If no one lives in it, there is no need for lanterns."
"It is indeed very special." Mustache pointed at the very vague half-moon-shaped marks on the outside of the lantern and said, "Human skin lantern."
Jin Pu Awang said he didn't understand, so Mustache popularized to him a piece of common sense that was only circulated in the circle of natives. However, this common sense can only be verified among some special groups of people, and most people will never have the opportunity to come into contact with it in their lifetime.
All kinds of oils, whether they are animal oils or vegetable oils, whether they are raw or cooked, if they are dripped into water, the oil flowers floating on the water will be round. Only corpse oil will float on the water if it is dripped in water.
The oil flowers on the leather are half-moon shaped. No matter what method is used to tan the leather, it will not leave fixed and natural marks in pieces. Only human skin will leave a long period of time after being tanned. The surface of the leather will be
A half-moon mark appears that will never fade.
For modern people, human skin lanterns can only be seen in some horror novels, but Mustache knows that in this industry, there were people who made human skin lanterns. Of course, those people who made human skin lanterns were not
In order to show how ruthless and vicious he is, every tool or item in this industry is produced based on actual needs.
Going back tens or hundreds of years, no matter whether it is a solitary soil crawler or a wealthy family, basically every family has a unique set of methods and secret methods. These secret methods have been continuously passed down and improved by generations or even more than a dozen generations, and in the end they have become leaders.
Something with a mysterious color. The Lu family in Shanxi was once a family of tomb robbers who specialized in making human skin lanterns. Human skin lanterns were a secret skill of theirs, and the production process and functions were top secret and were never revealed to the outside world.
The Lu family, which had lasted for hundreds of years, was already in decline on the eve of liberation, and the general environment at that time was changing every day. Some very intelligent and keen Taoist people felt that things were about to change. Once the world was peaceful, their lives would not be the same.
It would be too easy. The head of the Lu family at that time planned to completely change his appearance, throw away the local food he had eaten for hundreds of years, and start a serious small business. When some people on the street heard the news, they came over to abandon the Lu family.
Among them, the aspect of human skin lanterns is very valued by several leaders. Because in the past many years, there have been some evil pits that no one can get into. Only the Lu family can avoid too much loss.
Access. When the Lu family was in its heyday, no one dared to challenge them, but now, some people came to force them.
A family like the Lu family has a natural sense of superiority. Even if it is about to collapse, it still refuses to bend down. People who live in rural areas regard some things as more important than their lives. In the end, a leading man asked his servants to stand in front of the Lu family.
The man who held the lantern cut off one of his arms and threw it into a frying pan until it was charred. After being forced to this point, the man who held the lantern had no choice but to tell something about the human skin lantern.
In the past, some people had rumored that the Lu family made human skin lanterns to carry into the pit to clear the way. The lanterns were made of human skin, and the production process was very cruel. They directly took the skin of a 1-month-old baby from the belly of a pregnant woman to make a lantern.
The lanterns are lit with corpse oil. It is said that if you hold such a lantern, some evil spirits and evil things under the old pit will make way for themselves. They also say that one of the Lu family brothers in the past did nothing and only married wives and had children.
, used to take the skin and make lanterns.
These rumors were eventually dismissed as nonsense by the head of the Lu family. The human skin lanterns of the Lu family can only be used in one kind of place, and they are only useful in this kind of place, which is a place where many people have died and the yin energy is very strong. This
It is a method developed by the ancestors of the Lu family after absorbing a lot of experience. It sounds very mysterious, but to the dirtbags, it seems to make sense.
For example, an old pit from the Shang and Zhou dynasties has never been discovered. As time changes, anything may happen. A village or town may grow near the old pit, or a large-scale catastrophe may occur.
War, mass graves in villages, family tombs, and dead bodies on the battlefield were piled up on old pits. Over time, they became a natural barrier. Things tend to emerge in places with heavy yin. Everyone knows this truth. So the soil crawling later
If you accidentally discover this kind of pit, you may be greedy but dare not fall into it easily. Once you fall into it, you will have consequences that you cannot bear.
But the Lu family is best at opening this kind of pit. Their human skin lanterns were used at this time. Before doing the work, someone would light a few lanterns around the old pit. The lanterns were indeed burning corpse oil. According to Lu
The family leader said that the purpose of this was to use the human skin lantern to draw away the lingering yin energy above the old pit.
This process was called "waiting for dryness" in the jargon of the time. The length of waiting for drying varied. A lantern was used to draw away the Yin Qi. Once the Yin Qi dissipated, the risk of people going into the pit again would be much smaller. But after using
The lanterns must not be reused. Mustache once saw an old man's friend who had never been to the New Year. Half of his body was stiff and it never got cured. It is said that he accidentally lit a used human skin lantern that year.
