Urban Witcher

The tomb passage is very wide, two or three people can stand side by side, so Miao Xin asked Ye Shaoyang to hold the lamp, followed her, and walked down the tomb.

As a result, after a few steps, everyone was attracted by the things on both sides of the tomb passage:

On both sides of the tomb passage, at intervals, a rock wall is hollowed out, and there are statues standing in it, about the size of a real person, each of which is different, and the image is very strange: some have a human head and a snake body, and some have a snake body. Three heads and six arms, some are simply horned beasts...

All the images are not only fierce, but the most special thing is that the eyeballs of these sculptures are inlaid with gemstones, shining brightly under the light of the fire, like a pair of eyes hidden in the dark, staring at people all the time, I don’t know why Ye Shaoyang always felt that the eyes of these statues were very evil.

Statues have eyes too?

Ye Shaoyang felt a little uneasy.

"What kind of gods are these, are they from Buddhism?" Lu Xiaoqing asked curiously, and turned to look at Wutong. Wutong is a lay disciple of Chimei Mountain, and naturally knows the Buddha statues well. She looked carefully at the statues in front of her for a while, shook her head and said: "The shape of the sculpture is like Buddhism, but these gods are not from Buddhism. It looks like Bon Religion... Bon Religion is a kind of shamanism, enshrining many evil gods, these look a bit similar."

When Ye Shaoyang heard the word "Bon Sect", he immediately thought of the ancient tomb he had explored in the sandy seas of the Western Regions. What was dug out was Bai Qi...

Ye Shaoyang withdrew his thoughts, stared at these god statues, and said puzzledly: "Why are the eyes of these god statues replaced with glowing beads?"

Miao Xin said: "This seems to be a tradition of the Bon religion. It is believed that gemstones are used to open the eyes of the gods, and the gods can communicate with spirits and bless the worshipers. But it is said that this is just a branch of the Bon religion. This branch lives in the Western Regions It is easy to find this kind of crystal clear stone in the city. When it is illuminated by light in a dark place, it is like an eye. There is no such stone in other places, so the believers do not have this habit. Adapt measures to local conditions."

Ye Shaoyang couldn't help being surprised when she heard her say this in one breath, and wanted to ask her why she knew so much, but he was afraid of being ridiculed, so he swallowed the question back and asked Miaoxin: "Didn't you say that this is the Southern Song Dynasty?" Is it the tomb of the descendants of the royal family? Why is it related to the Bon religion again?"

"I don't know about this either, I just have to go down and have a look."

A group of people continued to walk down the tomb passage, and there was a turn ahead. The tomb passage turned to the right and continued down. Ye Shaoyang walked in the front with a three-color lotus lamp on his forehead, and was about to step down when Miaoxin suddenly pulled him up. Ye Shaoyang turned his head to look, but found that she was staring at the statue on the wall in a daze.

"What's wrong?" someone asked.

Miao Xin pointed to the statue's face and said, "This statue's smile is so scary."

It was only then that everyone noticed the face of the statue. Indeed, the corners of the mouth of this statue with four arms and eight hands were turned up, the head was slightly lowered, and the eyes were very gloomy. Looking at it like this, there is a feeling that the people on the statue are looking at them and sneering.

This smile made everyone present feel very uncomfortable.

"It's the first time I've seen such a funny statue..." Miao Xin murmured, even though she was well-informed, she had never seen a statue like this before: most of the statues were There are expressionless ones, majestic ones, kindly ones, and vicious ones, but I've never seen anyone who can laugh.

Everyone also looked at each other in blank dismay.

Ye Shaoyang remembered that he had seen similar statues before, and wanted to go back to have a look, so he went back with the three-color lotus lantern and took photos of the statues one by one. When he saw the first one, he was stunned. Then I thought of something, and hurried to another statue, stunned for a while, walked to the front of the third statue, after looking at it for a long time, then stopped, stared blankly at the sculpture in front of me, and said in a voice: "How could this happen?" ah."

"What's the matter, I'm just talking about it." Everyone was curious, and they swarmed towards him, followed his gaze, and looked at the statue in front of them. They didn't notice anything for a while, and asked Ye Shaoyang what's wrong .

Ye Shaoyang lifted the three-color lotus lantern in front of the statue, took a breath and said, "Look!"

Everyone took advantage of the firelight to observe carefully, and Wutong was the first to call out: "This statue is laughing!"

That's right, the statue in front of me is the same as the statue with four arms and eight hands that I saw before, with a faint smile on the corner of the mouth, coupled with the two piercing eyes, it looks straight into the heart Faint.

"What's going on?" Chen Xiaoyu exclaimed, "I didn't seem to see this sculpture smiling before, it seemed to have a serious face, what do you think?"

Everyone couldn't remember clearly. They looked at each other and didn't dare to jump to conclusions. Only Ye Shaoyang was like a mirror, and he didn't say anything. He just led them back and forth. Every time he met a statue, the lotus lantern in his hand would shine on his face. past.

When they visited the third statue, everyone present understood what Ye Shaoyang told them to look at: these statues, no matter whether they had serious expressions or fierce expressions before, now they only have one expression: they are all smiling.

All the idols are looking at them and laughing. There was some sarcasm and sarcasm in this smile, as if they were laughing at their inability to see through the truth behind it.

This can no longer be a coincidence...

Everyone looked at each other, speechless.

"How could this be? These statues are not alive!" Lu Xiaoqing lost his voice.

"I don't believe in this evil!" Chen Xiaoyu whistled, and ordered his ghost-faced monkey to climb up the face of a sculpture and pick off the two glowing stones embedded in the eyes.

Miao Xin felt that something was wrong, and it was too late when she wanted to stop it: the two gemstones were picked out, and within five seconds, a red liquid spewed out of the two blind eye sockets. There were two lines of blood and tears streaming down his cheeks.

Everyone was stunned for a while, and hurriedly backed away. Looking carefully, the "blood tears" flowed down the statue and piled up on the ground.

Everyone took a closer look, only to find that the red substance was not a liquid, but tiny particles like quicksand, which flowed out continuously from the eyes of the statue, and quickly piled up in high piles on the ground.

Miao Xin reprimanded everyone to back off, picked out some talisman paper by herself, sniffed it close to her nose, and said, "Arsenosha, it's okay, it's a way to prevent tomb thieves."

It is too common to use things like arsenopyrite in tombs to deal with tomb robbers.
