Chapter 126: Horror Puppet, the Eye of Delusion
"Flame Stone?!"
"Stones from the Flaming Mountain?!"
"What the hell?!"
Xu Feng suddenly became curious. Weren’t lanterns in ancient times all lit by candles?
What does it mean to put a stone?
Can this stone be ignited?
And the stone is not placed at the bottom of the lantern.
Instead, in the center of the lantern, there is a ring formed by several entangled metal wires.
Xu Feng carefully touched the red stone with his fingers.
Eh?
It's actually warm?!
It is worthy of being called the Flame Stone, it really lives up to its name!
But, does this lantern really rely on this flame stone to illuminate?
At this time, Wu Sansheng and others also gathered around, and came forward to look at the small lantern in Xu Feng's hand.
"You guys came just in time. Does anyone know this stone? What is it used for?!"
Xu Feng pointed to the red stone in the lantern and showed them.
He asked pretending to be ignorant.
Wu Sanxing, Wu Xie and Pan Zi all looked at it for a long time. Even Wu Sanxing, who had the most experience in the martial arts world, shook his head, indicating that he did not recognize this red stone.
At this time Zhang Qiling came over.
He took the red stone out directly, put it under his nose and smelled it.
After a pause, he put the red stone back into the ring in the lantern, and then picked up a piece of gravel from the ground.
It's just that kind of ordinary stone.
He took the stone and rubbed it gently against the red stone in the lantern.
Almost instantly.
The red stone immediately caught fire and turned into a small fireball.
Moreover, its lighting effect is very good, covering the area of several meters around it.
Wu Sansheng and the other two all widened their eyes and looked at the burning stone in surprise.
Although Xu Feng had already made some guesses.
But I was still shocked by the scene before me.
This is how the Fire Stone is used?!
“This stone is called the Flame Stone.
Zhang Qiling said lightly.
"Flame Stone?!"
The others looked at each other, and everyone had a confused look on their faces.
"It can't be a stone from the Flame Mountain, so it's called Flame Stone, haha."
Xu Feng teased deliberately.
Zhang Qiling glanced at him indifferently.
“It really comes from the Flaming Mountain!”
"It is said that there is an active volcano in Wuqi Mountain, which is in a state of eruption all year round. It is called Huoyan Mountain by the locals."
"This flame stone comes from the Flame Mountain."
"Its properties are very strange. It won't burn easily. It won't ignite even if you put it on fire. But it can't be rubbed against stones. Once rubbed, it will immediately self-ignite."
"The most amazing thing is that as long as you put this burning flame stone within a certain range of other flame stones, the other flame stones will also burn."
"like this!"
He took the small lantern from Xu Feng's hand and hung it back to its original place.
Three seconds later.
The flame stones inside the two lanterns adjacent to it suddenly caught fire.
Three more seconds.
The two lanterns adjacent to those two lanterns also suddenly lit up.
Just as everyone was studying the flame stone.
suddenly.
A particularly strange piece of music suddenly sounded in the tomb.
The music sounded mournful and sad, as if someone was crying out the grievances in his heart.
Except for Zhang Qiling, everyone's skin was covered with goosebumps.
Everyone looked at the puppets with alert expressions.
If there is anything strange in this tomb, it is definitely these puppets.
The light was dim before and I couldn’t see clearly.
Now the lanterns are all lit.
The entire tomb was within their sight, every detail was visible.
Those lifelike puppets squatting on the stone pillars looked even more creepy.
"Where does that sound come from?!"
"It sounds like it's coming from those puppets!"
"Come on! Can puppets sing?!"
“That’s the sound they made!”
"Is it haunted?!"
Wu Sanxing and the other two sounded like they were performing a crosstalk.
Xu Feng and Zhang Qiling frowned as they looked at the puppets.
Xu Feng looked around but didn't see the information he wanted to see.
I suddenly felt a little disappointed.
It seems that these puppets are different from the ones in the Nine-story Demon Tower.
"Did you notice anything wrong?"
Wu Sanxing suddenly asked Xu Feng and Zhang Qiling.
They both shook their heads.
"strangeness!"
Wu Sansheng looked at these puppets, his face full of confusion: "What is the purpose of their making this musical sound? Are they just singing for us? Or are they trying to scare us?!"
Xu Feng shook his head.
He couldn't tell clearly.
Pan Zi then walked to the nearest puppet and observed boldly.
"I wonder how come these puppets are so broken but still not falling apart."
"It turns out that they were all treated with antiseptic treatment and coated with oil. No wonder they can be preserved for thousands of years."
"The paint on the body is also very bright, with no signs of fading." Wu Sanxing also said in a deep voice: "In the Western Zhou Dynasty, such an exquisite puppet was buried with the dead. It seems that King Mu of Zhou was also a person who paid attention to luxury."
Suddenly, Wu Xie let out a scream.
Everyone was frightened and took a defensive stance.
But at first glance, there was nothing unusual around.
Suddenly everyone's eyes were focused on Wu Xie.
Wu Sansheng glared at him: "What the hell are you yelling about?!"
Unexpectedly, Wu Xie pointed at a puppet not far away and said tremblingly: "It, it just blinked at me and smiled at me."
what? !
Everyone was shocked and immediately looked at the puppet.
But he found that there was nothing abnormal about the puppet.
"Young Master San, are you too nervous and seeing things? Are you hallucinating?"
Pan Zi said.
He stepped forward and grabbed a puppet. It was too late for Wu Sanxing to stop him. Xu Feng also shook his head speechlessly.
I really don’t know whether Pan Zi is really brave or really an idiot.
There is definitely something odd about these puppets.
He actually dared to act rashly.
Isn't this courting death? !
He suddenly thought of Fatty Wang in Ghost Blows Out the Light. This guy was also a troublemaker. He always liked to make moves and had tricked Hu Bayi countless times.
"Um?!"
"correct!"
"Didn't Fatty Wang from the Iron Triangle appear in the Qixing Lu Palace?!"
"Is he also in the tomb at this time?!"
Pan Zi didn't think so much.
He held the puppet that looked like a child and said to Wu Xie, "Look, Third Master, this is just an ordinary puppet. At most, it's made with great craftsmanship and looks very real, but it's just a puppet. How can it smile or blink?!"
Wu Xie looked at the puppet in Pan Zi's hand and felt full of grievances.
He was very sure that he was not dazzled just now.
He did see the puppet wink and smile at him.
And for some reason, when he looked at the child in Pan Zi's arms, he always felt as if it was looking at him, and its pair of dark eyes seemed to be alive.
"Take it! You take it!"
"I swear, I was definitely not dazzled or hallucinating just now!"
"I saw it very clearly, the puppet just winked and smiled at me."
"It's up to you to believe it or not!"
After Wu Xie finished speaking, he turned away in a huff.
Xu Feng smiled.
He went over and patted Wu Xie on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I believe you!"
Wu Xie looked at him in astonishment: "You...you believe me?"
Xu Feng nodded: "I really believe you, because I also encountered this situation in the Jingjue Ancient City."
"It was a place similar to a tomb, but the puppets were in the shape of adults, and they were all hanging by ropes around their necks, and then hung from the ceiling. It looked like hundreds of people were hanged."
“That scene looks extremely creepy!”
“I was almost frightened at the time.”
"Later I found out it was a puppet, and I laughed at myself for making such a fuss."
"Then, I also saw a puppet winking at me."
"The first time, I also suspected that I was dazzled."
"It wasn't until he winked at me the second time that I was sure it wasn't dazzle, it was real!"
"And then what?!"
Wu Xie couldn't wait to ask: "What happened next?!"
Xu Feng shrugged and told him what happened later.
"It's actually a ghost possessing the doll..."
"Rope around your head..."
"Entering the illusion..."
"Then I pretended..."
Finally, he concealed the fact that he obtained the substitute doll, and only said that he cut the doll that hid the ghost into two halves with one knife.
"Luckily, Captain Zhang from the Divine Management Bureau lent me a magical object that can see through illusions, otherwise I might have really fallen for it."
After listening to Xu Feng's words, everyone was filled with admiration.
"In that case, could the music produced by these puppets also be some kind of hypnotic and hallucinogenic trap?!"
Wu Xie said: "Could the blinking I saw really be an illusion?!"
Xu Feng shook his head: "We are not being hypnotized or hallucinated now, I am sure of this."
He touched his chest and found a new treasure in that hidden pocket besides the lucky gold coin.
[Item Name]: Jade pupil
[Item Level]: Top-grade magical instrument
[Item Ability]: Eye of Delusion
[Item Description]: The Eye of Delusion can break through the reality and illusion of all things and reach the origin.
That's right.
It is Zhang Qiling’s jade pupil.
After leaving the Jingjue Ancient City, Zhang Qiling said that he would give this jade pupil to Xu Feng as a thank you gift.
Xu Feng always carries it with him.
This is to prevent yourself from being hypnotized or entering into a hallucination unexpectedly.
Wu Xie inadvertently glanced at the puppet again.
moment.
He was stunned.
This time he saw clearly that the puppet winked at him again and smiled strangely.
Instantaneous.
He was sweating profusely and staring at the puppet, not daring to breathe.
