[Bottle Evil] The Old Mansion's Strange Story

I stared at the bright light quietly. After a while, it didn't change much.I suddenly thought of a word: ghost fire.

Will-o'-the-wisps are not ghosts, but are related to corpses.The human body contains phosphorus, and under certain conditions, it may produce a gas that can spontaneously combust.

There are so many human bones around me, it seems not difficult to explain it by chance.

Thinking about it this way, there was nothing to worry about, so I passed the "wild fire" and walked over.When I got closer, I saw that there was a fire on a corpse.

This is not a big fire, but for me, it may be a life-saving straw.

I pulled out this "wild-wisp" bone from the pile of bones, and I held it up, as if I were holding up a star {original} in the dark universe.

Relying on this firelight, I quickly confirmed that my inferences just now were all correct.This place is indeed a pit where a person died, and the ground is full of skeletons.And it's wide and long.On both sides of the pit are large rocks.

I climbed up the rock on the inside, and there was still nothing within the range of the firelight, so I decided to continue walking along the direction of the pit.

Before I leave, I have to solve the lighting problem, and this phosphorous fire alone won't last long.

I held it and lowered my head, intending to find something useful from these dead people.

The first thing I saw was the thing worn around the neck of the skeleton. Now I saw it clearly. It was a metal disc. There should have been a string on it before, but the string had rotted long ago, leaving only a round hole.The pattern on the top can no longer see the specific style, but I can see the wavy lines on the snake head ring, and they are related.

I took out the one I picked up earlier from my pocket, and after comparing it, I found that it was the same texture.

The pattern may be some kind of belief or totem. I don't know its specific meaning, but it can be inferred that it is very important.

These dead people had clothes on them, and they were basically rotten. I picked up a bone and poked around on them. The ones that were not rotten were basically made of metal.There are some similar weapons like knives or swords.

I "searched" seven or eight corpses in a row, and finally found a spherical stone. Although the stone is not as valuable as those metals, it is life-saving at the moment.This is no ordinary stone, it is a piece of flint, also called flint.

I rummaged around the place where I found the flint, and sure enough I found a strip of metal with some curvature, which was a fire sickle.

These two things were used by ancient people to make fire.

It seems that there is no unparalleled road, and there is some truth in this sentence. Thinking of being able to light fire and light, I immediately cheered up a lot.

I tore off some leather that was not completely rotten from the body of the skeleton, and wrapped it around a leg bone that I broke hard and felt quite strong, and made a simple torch.

Then comes the most important part, lighting the fire.

The ancients used flints and scythes to make fire, and they also needed "tinder" to start the fire. I can't find the tinder, because it rots too fast.I wiped off my sweat and started looking for it on myself.

I really doubt that Poker-Face left this coat to me because there is a prophet.First I found a mobile phone in my pocket, and now I found a cigarette.

That was the cigarette that was supposed to be given to me that he broke off from the fourth at the wedding a few days ago.

It's a good habit to not smoke or litter.

It was soaked in water, but it would have dried, so I peeled off the cigarette paper, thinking it would be better than those rotten leathers covered in dust and blood.

I carefully put the "wild fire" bone aside for lighting, picked up the flint and the fire scythe, let them rub repeatedly to generate heat, and then hit the flint with the scythe. Know whether it is reliable or not, and whether it is operable under the current conditions.

While I was lighting the fire, I couldn't help but think of Poker Bottle and the others again.

As soon as I thought about it, I couldn't stop.

When Xiaohua helped me analyze the plan at the beginning, she said that as a person, my emotions are my weakness.

I am prone to anxiety and worry, because I always think about not implicating others in my own affairs, and not harming others in matters that have already been implicated in others.I hope it's over and everyone is well.

In fact, even if he didn't say anything, I knew that from the beginning of my plan, everyone related to me was already in the bureau. Enemies and friends, whether I wanted to be involved or not, they were all involved by me.

You have to cool down emotionally to continue.Xiao Hua said so.

Then the matter finally came to an end, and I finally rounded that period, and my whole spirit seemed to be emptied.After a few months of slowing down, I finally got a little interested in attending the wedding, but it almost turned into a funeral.

I couldn't help worrying about Pokerfair's situation. There must have been something wrong with the sarcophagus where the fourth child was, and before Pokerflame pushed me down, at least I was hit by a whirlwind of bugs, and Fatty, if there is something wrong with the sarcophagus, will the fatty also have something wrong? If there is no problem, is there enough air?

My watch is waterproof, I checked the time, two or three hours had passed.

In this bucket, if you stay for an extra minute, there are countless variables.

I took a deep breath, tried to control my emotions, and didn't think in a bad direction.

Then I closed my eyes to gather myself, then opened them again, and a flame jumped up in front of my eyes.

Holding this crude torch, I continued walking along the burial pit.I don't know if it's worry or nervousness, but my heart is beating fast.

I'm approaching the heart of the tomb, which spans millennia and holds an ancient secret.I'm going to find our way out of it.

I walked for a while, my feet were full of bones, I stumbled, but I didn't stop.

It's so big here that it seems to have no end.

Could it be a ghost hitting the wall again, I sighed and said in my heart that it would not.In fact, it wasn't a real ghost hitting the wall just now. I fell into a circular area, which was also artificially created by taking advantage of the special surrounding environment.I was short of manpower and lighting, so I didn't crack it for a while, but the water was different, the water was alive, so I was washed out by the water.

The human sacrifice pit is straight. If this is the arc that I have not felt, it may circle a province, which is too exaggerated.

I walked forward for a while, and when I was about to give up this road, I suddenly saw a stone gate appearing in front of me in the firelight.

There are no walls on both sides of the stone gate, and it stands abruptly in front of the human sacrifice pit, parallel to the direction of the pit.This is not an ordinary door, but a symbol, similar to the Lingxing Gate.

The ancients worshiped Tiantian star, which is the left corner of Longsu, one of the 28 constellations. Because the corner is the gate of heaven, and the shape of the gate is window lattice, so the gate is called Lingxing gate.Most of the ancestral temples in ancient China have lattice gates, which are wooden or stone buildings, like archways.

The one in front of me is not Lingxing Gate, but it can be speculated that it is also related to religion and sacrifice.

I walked to the stone gate, the gatepost was very high, engraved with simple but very atmospheric and simple patterns, it seemed to be the sun, the moon and the stars.

I took a closer look, and found that it was a bit unclear, and there were some carved shapes and styles, which I had never seen before.

I have been identifying it for a long time. It seems to be a bird, but I can't recognize the specific bird.The bird totem worshiped by the ancient people is the phoenix, but this one doesn't look like a phoenix.

I think I have to find a copy of "Shan Hai Jing" to look it up.

What also concerned me was that there were some things hanging on the stone gate. At first I thought it was the bones of slaves, but when I looked closely, I found that they were not human bones. They were rather large, like deer, with opposite horns.

This is used for sacrifices, I basically believe that, and the battle is not small.

I walked around the stone gate again, and felt that the orientation of this gate was very strange.Generally, the doors in mausoleums are on the central axis. Why is this door in front of the sacrificial pit?This setting doesn't quite fit the existing cognition in my mind.

I was just thinking about climbing up to have a look, when I saw a dent on one of the doorposts.

The position is relatively high, and I took a lot of effort to move a stone from the sacrificial pit to cushion it, and then I put my hands on it.

The depression was not just one piece, it was more like a groove. I reached in and touched it, and immediately became excited, it was ointment.

I first stirred it with a white dog leg and it was already hardened, but maybe still light.Immediately I stuck my homemade torch into it, and after a while the ointment in the groove burned.

In ancient times, the use of fire was indispensable for sacrifices, and this stone gate has a special groove for burning fire, which helped me again.

The fire gradually grew, and soon I saw that this fire-burning groove connected the doorpost and door beam on the other side.

The entire stone gate lit up in the firelight, and the carvings on the doorposts and beams were also reflected clearly in the firelight, as if the sun, moon, and stars were shining brightly.

However, what I didn't expect was that the groove on the door extended to the ground, and my feet lit up, and the flames gradually grew straight and perpendicular to the direction in which the human sacrifice pit extended.

I jumped off the rock and went after the firelight.

This scene is very interesting, I am chasing the fire, it seems that the places I step on are lit up because of it, this is the treatment of gods only.

But at the same time, I also know that this scene is very weird.In this seemingly endless darkness, the constantly burning flames crawled on the ground as if they were alive.

Not long after, about ten meters away from the human sacrifice pit, I saw the flames under my feet suddenly split into two streams, extending in two opposite directions.

At the same time, I saw a high platform appeared in front of me.

The moment I saw it, I was amazed.

Then I saw the flames running along the side walls of the ledge.

I immediately realized that the fire would gradually spread around this high platform, waiting for the ointment in the ditches to be completely ignited, and I would see the whole picture here. shocking.

The high platform in front of me has already left me dumbfounded.

The high platform is not too high. This is not what surprised me. What shocked me was its color.

Under the reflection of the fire, there was a faint green light floating on its surface.

It immediately filled my field of vision, crystal clear and fluorescent.And the green light grows with the fire, and gradually extends and spreads to the depths of the surrounding darkness.

I was almost dumbfounded. The intuitive feeling of such a scene is undoubtedly beautiful.

But in such an environment, in such an atmosphere, I only feel a chill all over my body, this color is too bewitching.

I turned my head to look at the stone gate that was still burning with raging fire, and it turned out to be the scene like this one, and this color made me feel very uncomfortable.

I looked to both sides again, and the fire was still extending into the distance, and as far as I could see, there was a glowing green light.

I rubbed my eyes, put it on the high platform to look carefully, and recognized that it was a green glazed brick, of high quality, very rare, and such a large piece.

I took a few steps back and found that the fire had extended beyond my sight, and I needed a change of perspective.

I climb up the ledge.

Looking around, there are faint greens that are gradually growing on both sides.

I don't know where they lead, to hell or to heaven.

I stepped on this piece of strange light and became dazed, as if I was also melted into its color.
