Paintings of Terror

Shao Ling stared silently at the sudden darkness before him, contrasting with the paintings he had experienced before. If the darkness before him were all dramatic, then everything in front of him was a little frighteningly real.

The pale moonlight makes it possible to vaguely see the grave heads and stone steles on this cemetery. I don’t know what birds will occasionally emit strange crowings that have never been heard before. Underneath is a hillside road with a deep foot and a shallow foot. The child cried faintly among the grass.

In the nasal cavity is the peculiar smell of the mountains, which comes from vegetation, soil, mountains and rocks, and these ancient steles.

"When I was working in Beijing," Li Xiaochun said suddenly, "I heard the old Beijingers talk about who is'dead', and said it was'I heard the cricket call to go'. I didn't quite understand it at first. Understand, there are many crickets in the graveyard of Dare Qinger."

Shao Ling did not rush forward, but temporarily stopped at a place slightly far from the tomb: "It's getting dark too fast."

"Aren't all the abnormalities in the painting?" Li Xiaochun accepted the abnormality in the painting so quickly.

"No, the day and night have a certain pattern in the past. Even if the day is only four short hours, then the world will only'turn off the lights' after four hours," Shao Ling took the painting "Inverse Journey" as an example. , "But the darkness in this place was sudden, like...man-made."

Li Xiaochun didn't say a word. He thought that the thing that made it dark could not be "man-made", and that it had to be "heavenly" to do it.

Li Xiaochun is not afraid of being fake in the grave circle, but his years of life outside tells him that even if he is timid, don’t let others see it-it’s not to beware of Shao Ling, but to have been used to some Aspect hides one's own nature.

Li Xiaochun stood calmly next to Shao Ling pretending to be calm, listening to crickets in his ears, his heart was up and down, and his eyes couldn't help but look randomly. This look is beyond his own control. He has developed it over the years. The habit was broken in an instant—"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

Shao Ling barely maintained his composure: "What are you shouting?"

Li Xiaochun stammered: "You have something on your back or behind."

Shao Ling walked forward two steps vigilantly, and then suddenly turned his head. Sure enough, he saw a long tail-like red flame. What's more terrifying was that the flame followed him, and when he moved, the fire followed.

Shao Ling gasped, staring motionlessly at the strange red flame.

Li Xiaochun backed away in fright, Shao Ling hurriedly said: "Don't move, it will follow you if you move it."

"This...there are feudal superstitions in this painting..." Li Xiaochun only felt that his calves had turned muscles, and at the moment he had no strength to move. "Mr. Shao, this...Is this a ghost fire?"

"The scientific argument should be phosphorous fire," Shao Ling watched the fire slowly weaken. "We are in a chaotic grave. Naturally, there will be some bones that are not completely decomposed. These things may produce phosphine and phosphine. The ignition point is very low and it is likely to spontaneously ignite in summer."

"But, ghost fire, no, why can phosphorous fire follow people?" When Li Xiaochun was a child in the village, he personally saw the ghost fire follow people and sing people.

"Because, when walking, the air velocity around the feet is high, and the pressure is low." Shao Ling said a little jerky, "My science is average, which is probably what I mean."

Li Xiaochun stared at the phosphorous fire gradually extinguishing, as if he could not fully believe in the "scientific principles" Shao Ling said unless he saw the fire extinguished.

I don’t know, instead of extinguishing, the fire suddenly exploded a lot of small sparks when it was about to burn out. Then it burned into a big ball, like a basketball, half-suspended in the air, and a piece of it hanging down below. The tail-like flames.

Li Xiaochun was completely frightened and twisted his thigh fiercely. I really hope that I will wake up in the exhibition hall of the Niansu Art Museum. Who knows that the terrifying ghost fire is still hanging there, Li Xiaochun Sa Yazi jumped to Shao Ling's side: "Mr. Shao Shao Shao, this this this..."

Shao Ling took a few steps back, but stared at the ghost fire in front of him. Based on this strange burning phenomenon, it can be basically concluded that this is not phosphine burning, but...

"Manager Shao Shao," Li Xiaochun tried to calm herself, "Did you say that this ghost fire made the sky dark?"

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." Shao Ling stared at this abnormally red flame, and realized that after staring for a long time, he could gradually see the burning core inside through the flame, which was a large bone. The bones are burning."

"What story is burning?" Li Xiaochun asked boldly.

"The bone remnants are the bones of the people left after the corpse decayed or cremated." After Shao Ling said this, he suddenly found that the burning bone remnants became clearer, and even the remnants of the bone could be seen, as if It was caused by beating it with a heavy tool, "This bone does not seem to be caused by rot or cremation."

"What caused that?" Li Xiaochun also saw the burning bone, the bone seemed to be working very hard to show its incompleteness.

"I think it is caused by a blow, and it is not a sharp thing like a knife or axe, but like a hammer or a wooden stick." Shao Ling analyzed.

Li Xiaochun felt that this incident was too evil and could not help but brave herself loudly: "This is Zhuxian Town, and General Zhuhai is buried here! General Zhuhai has become an immortal, how dare you have these evils? Strange things are causing trouble!"

The group of ghost fire suddenly "banged" and the group of fire became bigger and bigger.

Shao Ling thought of what Li Xiaochun said just now, Zhu Xianzhen, Zhu Hai, the bones that were attacked by heavy weapons, Jin Bi.

Jin Bi.

"Are you Jinbi?" Shao Ling said.

The ghost fire stopped in the air, almost as high as Shao Ling's face, and the flames no longer moved around, but were almost still there.

"Are you the ‘screaming general’ Jinbi?" Shao Ling said again.

Some small flames were dropped from the wildfire rustling, and the bones in the center almost glowed.

"Are you wronged?" Shao Ling asked.

The ghost fire was still falling, as if there was an invisible ghost weeping.

"This is Jin Mi's ghost?" Li Xiaochun asked cautiously.

"should be."

"Why don't the ghosts show up this night?" Li Xiaochun said.

"For historical reasons, the story of "Stealing Talisman to Save Zhao" is being passed on by the common people, which makes it difficult for some souls to gather and form, but they are unwilling." Shao Ling said while looking at the ghost fire.

"Is it like what we just analyzed, Zhu Haizhi killed Jinbi because he was loyal to his master Xinlingjun, and Jinbi expressed doubts about him, and he was also loyal to his master Wei Wang?" Li Xiaochun figured out the truth. Not as scared as before, "So, Jin Bi feels wronged?"

Shao Ling looked at the wildfires that kept dropping flames: "Well, can you show up? Or use your way to tell your grievances, if we can help you, we will spare no effort."

The ghost fire actually slowly moved away from the two Shao Ling, towards the far side of the cemetery.

"It's gone?" Li Xiaochun didn't believe it.

"It's probably going to figure out a way to communicate with us." Shao Ling said.

"President Shao, what did you mean by the ‘screaming general’?" Li Xiaochun asked.

"Jin Bi was a battle-tested veteran general of the Wei State before his death. He was called the ‘wow huh veteran general’. The word ‘wow huh’ means strong and brave, and ‘the veteran’ means a veteran.” Shao Ling said this, with regret in his tone.

"That is to say, Jin Bi was not buried after his death, and now only this bone is left?" Li Xiaochun said.

Shao Ling didn't know how to answer. It seemed that this was the case. The veteran Jin Bi was killed by a forty catty hammer. He probably failed to leave the whole body. There were battlefields everywhere at the time. It seems that he was not buried, even in a cloak None, so I feel wronged.

Shao Ling was thinking. Suddenly the flames flickered, and a group of flaming wildfires drifted in. Then there were dozens of groups of large and small wildfires. These wildfires floated in front of the two of them. The core is a bone remnant of different sizes and shapes! The only thing they have in common is that the edges of all the bones have marks of being crushed by heavy objects.

Dozens of ghost fires slowly gathered together and turned into a large bonfire-like flame. In the center of the flame, dozens of bones formed an incomplete human skeleton.

Li Xiaochun couldn't speak for a long time. At this time, he was a little scared, and he felt a little unclear.

Shao Ling's expression was very complicated, and it took a long time to say: "Do you want us to help you with revenge?"

The big flame stopped there, motionless.

Shao Ling could only continue to guess: "Then you are, you want to be safe?"

The big flame moved only slightly.

Shao Ling followed this line of thought and continued to ask: "Do you want your body to be intact and safe?"

The big flame trembled violently, shaking off dozens of clusters of flames.

For a time, the big flame burned extremely brightly, as if to light up the sky.

The sky is really bright.

The night just now was like a short dream, like a hysterical dream from a nap and nap.

But those skeletal colonies are still there. In the weeds between the graveyards, dozens of incomplete skeletal colonies are put together into one shape. If carefully identified, it should be a personal shape.

Li Xiaochun didn't seem to wake up from the situation just now, and patted her face at this time: "Is it true just now, or is it a dream Jin Mi entrusted to us?"

"Don't care whether it is true or dream, we have to find a way to accomplish what we have promised." Shao Ling said.

"His bones were all broken into scum. Mr. Shao, you just said that it is the Ming Dynasty and it has been many, many years since the Warring States Period. Those bones cannot be retrieved." Li Xiaochun said, looking around. , I want to use something to replace the bone better.

"If he can get it back, he doesn't need to use the ghost fire to pray for our help." Shao Ling thought carefully, always feeling that this matter will not make the two of them look for a needle in a haystack, but will have an established trajectory.

"Let’s take these bones out of the weeds first." Li Xiaochun said and did it. First, I found a stone tablet that fell on the ground, swept the soil away with a sleeve, and then swept the weeds away. Every piece of bone remnant of's was carefully taken out, piece by piece was put on the stone tablet, the whole process was very serious, for fear that any piece was misspelled.

Shao Ling watched Li Xiaochun doing all this, still thinking about replacing the bones.

"President Shao! There is something under these bones!" Li Xiaochun suddenly shouted.

Shao Ling hurried over to look and saw that there was something like a square checkerboard on the weeds under the bones, but there was no checkerboard on it, but some sand, which looked like a modern sandboard.

Shao Ling couldn't think of the reason for a while, so he wrote a word on the sand table.

Li Xiaochun recognized it for a long time: "This is a bone character. It looks like an ancient writing. From this look, this character looks like a person standing there, with head, body and limbs."

"This is seal script," Shao Ling smoothed the sand character he had just written, and wrote another character.

Li Xiaochun didn’t recognize this character. The outside was a big square, and inside was something that looked like a letter: "Why is there a letter r in this big mouth?"

"This is not a letter, it is a divination, the divination of divination." Shao Ling explained, "This is a pictograph of the character ‘bone’, because the shamans used bones for divination."

As soon as Shao Ling finished saying these words, he saw the sand characters in the sand table suddenly radiate light. When the light dissipated, Shao Ling tried to poke away the sand, and found that there was a bone full of witch characters buried in the sand.

It's a pity that Shao Ling didn't recognize any of the words on it.

"What is this?" Li Xiaochun asked.

"This is a primitive bone, or a bone with primitive significance." Shao Ling personally placed this bone in the bone remnants placed on the stone tablet. "I don't know if this bone can help. we……"

Before Shao Ling finished speaking, he discovered that the bones on the stele changed rapidly, and even new growth occurred on the damaged edge. After a while, a complete skeleton appeared on the stele-the stele at this time I can't put down the entire human bone anymore. The leg bones of the skeleton are on the ground next to the stele.

"Are we spelled together?!" Li Xiaochun was a little unbelievable, and looked down at this magical sand table, only to find that the word "month" appeared on it at some unknown time.

Shao Ling walked over to see this word, and said unconsciously: "It seems that this is for us to help the bones to find ‘meat’."

The author has something to say:

[Yueyue Notice] This story is the shortest, and it feels like there is nothing left to write. The next chapter will be the next set.

Shao Ling: "..."

Li Xiaochun: "Mr. Shao, how come the comment area is no longer visible when we catch up with the two of us? Have the audience left with stools..."

Shao Ling:...
