At this moment, the old man was really a little afraid. He could only work harder. Unsurprisingly, the laughter rang out again. This time, the old man didn't care anymore. He only hoped that he could finish his work and leave as soon as possible. As long as the baby didn't bite him, he could let it laugh if it wanted to!
But at this moment, the light in the tomb suddenly dimmed. It seemed that something had blocked the light from the oil lamp on the coffin. At the same time, the nest of birds on the coffin was chirping non-stop.
Grandfather's heart sank. He didn't know what was behind him. He looked up and saw a shadow bigger than a camel reflected on the wall in front of him.
His grandfather cried out bitterly in his heart. He thought that he might really be in trouble. Then, he gritted his teeth and turned around to throw the dagger. However, upon closer inspection, there was nothing behind him. There was only a moth flying around the oil lamp from nowhere. Its shadow was extremely large when cast on the wall. Although the dagger he threw did not hit the moth directly, it hit the oil lamp with a bang. The oil from the lamp splashed everywhere, and in an instant, the surging flames burned the moth's wings and it fell down.
"F * ck you, you scared me to death!"
His grandfather heaved a sigh of relief and was about to continue working when he immediately realized that something was wrong.
The oil lamp did not fall to the ground after it was knocked off the coffin. Instead, it was suspended in the air in front of the coffin.
"It's really fucking haunted!"
The old man called out. Then, he saw a black shadow with an oil lamp on his head slowly stand up from behind the coffin. It was a big guy that was nearly three meters tall. It was covered in fur and looked like a gorilla. However, it only had a mouth on its face. It had no nose or eyes. After getting up, this fellow reached out and grabbed a nestling from the nest on the coffin. He put it in his mouth and started chewing.
Grandfather knew that danger was coming. He walked towards the oil lamp with the hammer and smashed it at the black shadow's chest. However, when the hammer hit it, it was like hitting air. It missed. Only then did his grandfather confirm that he might have seen a ghost, and he could roughly guess what it was. I heard from my great-grandfather that it was dark under a lamp.
It was said that this kind of ghost was especially black. Every time it appeared, people could only see it with a lamp on their heads. Usually, people would hide in the shadow of the lamp and wait until the dead of night to come out and scare people. If people were afraid of it, it would kill them and take their belongings for itself. If humans weren't afraid of it, it would call him grandpa and run away.
Grandfather didn't expect it to appear here, and he didn't know how it scared people.
Soon, Black under the light spoke in a fierce voice,
"I'm a ghost! Are you scared?"
Grandfather didn't expect the ghost to be so straightforward. He wanted to say that he was not afraid, but when he saw this nearly three-meter-tall monster, he was still a little afraid. The monster seemed to be able to sense his grandfather's fear. Then, its body began to grow larger, and soon, it covered the entire tomb. His grandfather immediately felt a suffocating sensation, and his skin and clothes began to shrink. Soon, he couldn't hold on any longer. His vision went black and he fell to the ground with a thud.
His skin was still shrinking, and he heard Black laughing at him.
"You little thing! How dare you come to rob the tomb with such little guts. If you don't have the fate to be rich, you'll be a pitiful worm for the rest of your life and will always be ridiculed by others.”
Hearing what it said, his grandfather was also filled with anger. However, he could not see anything, so his body stiffened and he could only roll on the ground. At this moment, he felt something on the ground. It seemed to be his dagger. At this moment, he felt very uncomfortable. He only felt that his skin was especially tight and he could not breathe. He picked up the dagger and endured the pain to skin himself.
The knife went from his forehead to his chest. Then, he felt much better after that slash. His eyes lit up, and he could breathe and see again. He lowered his head and saw a black cocoon covering his body.
Looking at the darkness under the lamp, he was bending over and rolling an apple around his body. He was muttering something as if he was casting a spell. Soon, the wound he had made with the knife began to close up again.
Grandfather knew that he couldn't hit this guy, but now that this guy was bent over, he could hit the oil lamp on its head. So, the moment the silkworm healed, he swung the hammer and smashed it on the oil lamp.
With a bang, the oil lamp was shattered. The oil that flowed out instantly ignited the black hair under the lamp, turning it into a burning man. Immediately, a miserable cry sounded in the tomb.
Seeing that the fellow was rolling on the ground from the heat, his grandfather was still not satisfied. He went over to ride on it and placed the dagger on its neck. At this moment, Black Under the Lamp began to beg for mercy.
"Grandpa, please spare my life! Grandpa, I won't do it again.”
"Weren't you mocking me just now? Do you think my knife isn't sharp enough?鞥!”
Then, his grandfather exerted force and cut off the guy's head. Then, he kicked it to the side like a ball.
"Whoever dares to laugh at me, I will make them regret it.”
His grandfather said some harsh words and wanted to continue tearing down the table. However, when he turned around, he felt a little strange when he swallowed the headless body that was still burning under the light. It didn't let go of the apple even after it died.
"What is this apple?"
He thought that the darkness under the lamp was not a good thing, and the apple was naturally not a good thing. The dagger cut off its claw, and the apple fell to the ground with the broken hand. It then separated from the broken claw and rolled on the ground twice. The bright surface was immediately covered in dust.
At this moment, something unexpected happened. The apple seemed to have a chemical reaction with the dust. First, it started to burn, and then the flame went out. It squeaked and quickly withered and moldy, and long, thin, black fungus grew out. A large number of fungi gathered into colonies and spread in all directions, instantly dragging the entire tomb into darkness. In the darkness, he heard countless ghosts crying and his grandfather fainted.
After an unknown period of time, his grandfather was awakened by a strange cry.
Coo coo coo! It sounded like a cuckoo!
His grandfather couldn't take it anymore. Seeing that nothing terrible had happened, he pushed away the fungus and dust that covered his face. He moved his body and found a flashlight. Only then did the tomb become bright again.
In a short period of time, the entire tomb seemed to have changed places, and it was so dilapidated that it was beyond recognition. The original coffin was also gone, and in its place was a big black yak. Blood was flowing non-stop from its spine, and it looked like it would not survive.
Not only that, but he also saw two big and fat cuckoos jumping and chirping on the coffin.
"Coo, coo!"
"This cow is a coffin, so where did the cuckoo come from?”Grandfather thought.
However, when he saw the bird nest on the ground, he immediately remembered that it was the nest of chicks he had brought in. One was eaten by Black Under the Lamp, and now there were two left.
"F * ck, you guys can't be growing so fast, right?”
These birds developed too quickly and grew up before they learned how to fly. They were as stupid as chickens, but their cries were very pleasant to hear. Grandfather was afraid that they would run away, so he quickly went over to catch them and put them on his belt.
"Stew it when we get out!"
Then, he found the baby who was laughing at him under the cow's stomach.
It was pressed under the black bull's stomach. It no longer laughed, but was crying. Grandfather quickly pulled the baby out and saw that it was a girl, about six or seven months old. The light shone on its face, and it immediately laughed and giggled.
This child looked no different from an ordinary child. However, in this ancient tomb, even a fool would know that this was abnormal. The grandfather quickly put the child back on the ground and prepared to leave. At this moment, he was suddenly attracted by something on the baby's neck.
"It looks like a piece of jade!"
His grandfather's heart raced. He took a deep breath and immediately returned to the baby's side. He realized that it was indeed jade. Its surface was lustrous, its texture was fine, and its color was as white as snow. It was a legendary high-grade Hetian jade.
"Good stuff. I didn't come here in vain.”
As Grandfather spoke, he began to remove the jade from the baby's neck.
At this moment, the baby didn't know that its grandfather wanted to steal its things. It was tickled by its grandfather's rough hand and giggled again. He didn't know if his grandfather was too clumsy or if the rope around the jade was too tight, but he couldn't untie the jade after spending a long time. In the end, the old grandfather became impatient and took out a lighter to burn the rope.
the old man said to the baby.
"Don't move! I might burn you!"
The rope was very short, so the flame of the lighter was very close to the baby. The baby could tell that the old man wanted to steal his things, so as long as the old man lit the lighter, the baby would blow it out.
"Damn it, ghost blows out the light!" The old man said," It's yours. Stop fooling around!"
After blowing on the baby many times, the old man was finally angered. He forgot whose territory he was in and slapped the baby, saying,
"Hey! Pa! You're naughty!"
The baby immediately cried after being slapped.
While the baby was crying, his grandfather quickly cut the rope and obtained the piece of jade.
With this jade, he didn't want the broken wood anymore. With the flashlight, he walked out. However, just as he took two steps away, he heard rapid breathing behind him, as if someone was about to suffocate. The old man turned his head curiously and saw that the baby, who had been quite healthy a moment ago, was now ashen. His eyes were wide open and he was breathing rapidly, as if he was about to die.
Grandfather was so scared that he collapsed to the ground. He had already suspected that there was something wrong with this fellow. Now that he saw the situation, he naturally thought that it was a demon that was about to reveal its true form.
However, after about a minute, the baby finally stopped moving. His face still maintained that painful purple color.
Grandfather took the opportunity to quickly stand up and prepare to escape, but he could not help but stop after taking two steps.
"If this baby really dies, will it haunt me?”
He was originally robbing tombs to support his family. It would not be worth it if he had to sacrifice his entire family. After pondering for a long time, he walked back and returned the jade to the baby.
"I've returned it to you. You can't pester me.”
the old man said to the baby.
Unexpectedly, just as Yu put it back on its neck, something strange happened. The baby's skin color slowly returned to normal, and then he was completely alive. Seeing that the baby was alive again, the old man was relieved and returned to the table.
"We still have to pack up the broken furniture and bring it back!”
After the mess just now, the eight-square table was already covered in dust.
But strangely, the two apples on the table were still as bright as new. His grandfather was certain that there was something wrong with the apple. Perhaps there was a ghost living inside, and the ghost was released when the apple fell to the ground, causing the perfectly fine house to become like this.
He heard a cracking sound above his head, and dust flew down. The ridge of the roof had also decayed, and now it broke.
"Not good, the tomb is about to collapse.”
He quickly ran into the tunnel. However, when he entered the tunnel, he saw a person standing at the end of the tunnel. He was fat and wore a straw hat on his head. He was standing there in a daze, looking up at the hole in the tunnel. He didn't know what was going on, but faint smoke kept coming out of the cave. It was like a smoke storm, enveloping the fatty like an immortal.
"Not good, who is playing with fire in the Thief Cave!”
At this moment, the fat man noticed the old man and turned to look at him. Grandfather was stunned and thought,
"Could it be another grave robber? I haven't even gotten anything yet, and someone came out of nowhere.”
However, this fatty looked calm and did not seem to have any hostility. Grandfather walked over to him. As soon as he walked over, the fatty said,
"We're doomed. We can't get out!"
His grandfather raised his head to look at the cave and saw that the original bandit cave had now become a huge furnace! The flames inside were raging, and it seemed that they could not get out for the time being.
Grandfather leaned against the wall of the corridor and said,
"Let's wait! We'll go out when the fire is over!”
At this moment, his grandfather turned his attention back to the fatty. In order to relieve the pressure, the two of them started chatting. The fatty told him about his situation. He said that he and his five brothers had come to rob the tomb tonight, but when they went out, they couldn't find the tomb. At this moment, their boss said that they had encountered a ghost and had to kill someone to clear their evil spirit. Then, she forgot what happened. When she returned to her senses, she was alone in the tunnel.
His grandfather didn't think much of what he said at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt a little uneasy. He thought to himself that he couldn't be the same group of people as before, but he clearly saw five people go out just now. Why did one of them stay?
He looked at this fatty and thought of the fellow who was carried out. He actually looked a little similar. Moreover, he didn't see this fatty when he came in just now! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
"Is that fatty already dead? The body was taken away, but the ghost stayed here.”
Thinking of this, Grandfather quickly took a step back.
"What about me?"
Fatty was very surprised by this and habitually took off his hat. At this time, his grandfather saw his true appearance. This fatty actually had no skull on his head. His brain was directly exposed, just like Brother Octopus. At this moment, his grandfather noticed the blood stains at the entrance of the cave and roughly knew what was going on. Just now when that group of people went out, they found that the Burglar Cave had disappeared, so they killed one of their companions to shock the baleful aura. In the end, the exit was found, but the human spirit was trapped here.
"I heard that ghosts don't know that they're dead. Only when someone tells them will they know and then disappear.”
Grandfather told the undead his thoughts. The more the fatty listened, the more frightened he became. Then, he disappeared into the air like smoke in a thief's cave.
"This guy left!"
Grandfather thought to himself and heaved a sigh of relief. He went to see if the fire in the thief's cave had been extinguished. However, he was shocked when he saw it.
Even though so much time had passed, the fire in the bandit cave was burning more and more vigorously. Moreover, the smoke was getting thicker and thicker. Soon, it was so suffocating that people could not stay any longer. Grandfather was really anxious! He wondered why the fire suddenly started. This fire was not an illusion, right? In order to verify it, he threw the two fat birds on his waist into the hole. The two birds instinctively flew up diagonally and were soon engulfed by the fire. A burnt smell and miserable cries drifted out of the hole.
"My mother! It seemed that this fire was not a joke!”
However, if he stayed here any longer, he would choke to death. He had to quickly think of a way to get out. Soon, he thought of the Black Under the Lamp that he had just killed. It would be better to peel off its skin and put it on his body. Perhaps it would be fire-resistant.
He returned to the tomb and quickly found Black Under the Lamp.
Although its fur was burnt, its skin was still wet, so his grandfather peeled it off and draped it over his body before crawling into the hole. The temperature in the bandit cave was very high. Although he was wearing animal skin, it was still very hot. Moreover, every time he breathed, he felt a burning sensation in his nose. While his grandfather was climbing, he realized that the thing that was burning was dried leaves. As he climbed, his body made a rustling sound.
However, as it crawled, it realized that something was wrong. It had actually entered a spherical fire pit, and there was no way out.
"Not good! This isn't the cave I came in from!”
At this moment, the beast skin on his body could not hold on any longer. His grandfather did not dare to hesitate and quickly retreated back into the tunnel.
However, the tunnel was not a place to stay for long. Not only was there thick smoke, but the temperature was also not low.
In the end, his grandfather was annoyed. He had no place to vent his anger, so he thought of that strange baby. He thought to himself that this fire was most likely related to it. It was better to throw it into this fire pit and burn it to death. Perhaps this demonic technique would be dispelled.
He found the baby and carried it to the tunnel. However, when he carried it to the tunnel, the tunnel had disappeared.
"Motherf * cker, you tricked me! I won't let you have a good time either."
Grandfather was really anxious and wanted to kill this child! However, at this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the tomb.
Pa!
Grandfather did not throw the baby down. Instead, he quickly walked into the tomb to see what was going on! When she went in, she realized that the painting that was originally hanging on the wall had fallen down. This was actually nothing strange. The key was that in the white smoke, there was a hole where the painting was originally hanging.
"So this damn cave is alive. It came here on its own. Why didn't you show up earlier?"
As if he had been pardoned, his grandfather quickly put down the baby and dived in without hesitation. He found that this was indeed the hole he had just entered. Soon, he arrived at the turning point of the bandit cave. At this time, he encountered a new problem. The bronze mirror that was originally embedded in the cave wall had actually changed its position. It was stuck here like a door. At this moment, he was short of a cigarette. Coupled with the smoke and fire from before, he looked like a mixture of a demon and a beast in the mirror.
"How dare you block my way! I'll beat you up!"
His grandfather swung his hammer and smashed it against the bronze mirror. At the same time, his own shadow in the bronze mirror also smashed towards him. It didn't feel like he was smashing the mirror, but rather, he was colliding with the person in the mirror. In the end, the copper mirror was completely unharmed after being smashed a dozen times. On the contrary, he had used too much strength and had simply sustained internal injuries. His mouth was about to spit out blood, and his injured eye began to bleed again.
His grandfather looked at his ugly face in the mirror and suddenly felt a little amused. He spat at the bronze mirror with a mouthful of blood.
"F * ck you!"
He didn't expect that the blood he spat out would immediately change when it touched the copper mirror. The blood turned into two words: Name.
His grandfather did not react at first, but he soon understood. He quickly wrote his name on it in blood.
He didn't expect it to be so effective. The copper mirror immediately turned its position with a creak. It stuck back to the wall of the cave, making way for him. At the same time, it reflected the moon in the sky outside.
A big and round moon.
Although the moon was beautiful, his grandfather was not in the mood to appreciate its beauty. He quickly climbed out.
The outside world was very helpless. The outside world was very cool.
The sky outside the cave was still dark. A cold thing hit his face. Grandfather knew that it was raining.
His heart suddenly shook. He thought,
"Is it raining? There was no moon in the sky! What was reflected in the bronze mirror?”
The old man heaved a sigh of relief and stopped thinking about it. He did not study much, so he could only use the excuse of a ghost to explain it. He thought that this tomb must have been a ghost, and that the moon was the eye of a devil in disguise.
"This ghost is the same as me, a one-eyed man!”
