Chapter 156 Stone Spirit
I knew the situation was not good, so I planned to set up a tool to suppress the zombies first and then open the bronze coffin, but no one expected that there was a ring in the tomb chamber, and there was a wooden tomb hidden underneath. The power of the bronze coffin fell too much, so the chain and heavy locks were loosened, and the mysterious bronze mirror also fell down. If the ancient corpse inside crawled out first, the situation would take a sharp turn for us, which would be a big disadvantage.
At this time, my blood was rising, and I had no time to think about it. I held the bronze mirror and shouted to Fatty and Shirley Yang, "You guys find out the tape quickly." While speaking, I jumped into the wooden coffin below (the tomb chamber built of wood is called a wooden coffin, not the kind of coffin that I usually call it).
As soon as I landed, I almost twisted my ankles. The rectangular thick wood was already terrible. As soon as I stepped on it, I sank a piece of it. Black water suddenly came up. The cold fireworks were still burning. In the fire, I saw a layer of cold wood coffin in the gap between the copper coffin. The lid of the coffin had two big holes, and several circles of long nails were exposed from it. The nails were all white and very sharp. Because they were too long, the nails were bent. The sounds we heard in the tomb were probably the sounds made by the nails scratching the copper coffin lid.
I didn't care about the pain in my ankle, and I accidentally admired the shape of my fingernails. I immediately picked up the bronze mirror in my hand, pressed it into the groove behind the copper coffin, and jumped onto the lid of the bronze coffin. I don't know where I had such great strength. I pressed my hands and feet down and pressed it back on the lid that was being pushed open.
Shirley Yang then jumped into the "wooden coffin" and handed a roll of tape into my hands. She was half a step late and didn't see anything in the coffin, so she asked me: "What's inside?"
While I pressed the tape layer by layer, I said to her: "What else can I do? It's just a walking corpse. I don't know why this bronze mirror can calm it down. It seems that as soon as I take it away, its nails grow rapidly."
The fat man also jumped down and immediately said when he heard me, "I knew this mirror was a good thing. When we retreat, we would find a way to follow it and would never leave every grass and tree to the enemy."
I saw that the bronze coffin was re-stolen, and the material was not bad. I looked up at the upper tomb chamber. It was full of black and rotten wood. It was less than three meters high. The water seeped inside was very serious and the moisture was choking. I originally wanted the fat man to stay on top to support him, but from the bottom, if there was any mistake, it would be no problem to climb up directly. And the coffin was opened below. The three of them could have some care. So I said to the fat man and Shirley Yang: "There is a coffin in the corner of the wooden coffin. I don't know if it is used to pretend to be the King of Xian. There are mystery everywhere in this tomb. When we raise the coffin, we must be careful."
After saying that, the three of them came to the coffin that emitted fluorescent lights in the dark. The dark and damp "wooden coffin" was cramped and narrow. For the sake of convenience, we turned on the tactical spotlights on the mountaineering helmets. The coffin was pressed by several falling square woods. My biggest worry was that these bad woods would collapse at any time and buried us alive. So we started to find two or three solid ones among the collapsed woods, and supported them next to the gap that was smashed by the bronze coffin to bear the load.
When I was working, I was thinking: these square woods, also known as "wood beams", were originally built into layers of pressing and building a structure that looked very tight. I don't know why they decayed to such a level that the "wood beams" with yellow intestines turned black and foggy. In theory, this "King of Xian" was a fairy cave with round and unreliable vitality. How could this kind of zodiac sign be eroded into this way? And there was also a corpse energy soaring into the sky, and even the black star sky sign of "black pig crosses the sky river". Regardless of those, the ancient corpse with signs of corpse transformation in the bronze coffin is very unreasonable. It seems that there must be something terrifying hidden in the deepest part of this thousand-year-old tomb.
As we quickly cleaned up, the ancient coffin covered by rotten wood beams gradually appeared. I wiped away the debris and mud water of the rotten wood with my hands. The blue fluorescence on the ancient coffin became more obvious. The whole coffin was smooth like a mirror, like a piece of blue black ice from the depths of the ice sea, shining with a charming luster. The fat man exclaimed repeatedly: "Fuck his grandmother, why is this coffin more valuable than the other? What is this? Is it jade? crystal? or ice?" After saying that, he touched it repeatedly, and couldn't let go of it.
I shook my head and said, "I don't know, when I was an engineer, I dug stones for so many years. When I visited the ground survey team, I couldn't count the number of ore slices, but I had never seen such stones. It seemed that they were not ice, but they were not cold except that they were very slippery."
Shirley Yang was attracted by this strange ancient coffin and was always watching carefully. Then he spoke: "It is a blue stone or a crystal variant, which can only be formed in underground stacked caves."
The stone spirit is recorded in ancient books. It is a stone that is only found in the valley near Mingfeng. Legend has it that there is a stone mill made of stone spirit in hell. Those who commit crimes in all kinds of crimes will be ground by the stone mill after falling into the underworld. There is a black dog underground, waiting to stick out his tongue to lick the crushed meat sauce. The remaining minced meat turns into flies and mosquitoes, and is beaten in the world and will never be born again.
Of course, that is a superstitious legend, but one thing is certain. Although this dark blue "stone spirit" is dazzling, it is not very auspicious and is not suitable for use as a coffin, let alone to collect the corpses of the nobles.
It seems that this is definitely a "ghost coffin" from the underworld. What is the purpose of it? Why is it hidden in the gloomy and damp "wooden coffin" under the tomb, and the "wooden coffin" that is not sealed or tree-free was very common around the Western Zhou Dynasty, but by the Qin and Han Dynasties, few people have used it. We have found ten "longevity candles" in the tomb. Will the corpse in the "ghost coffin" in front of us be one of the ten corpses? There are too many questions and there is no clue at all.
Shirley Yang looked at the bronze coffin behind him and said, "The coffins in the king's tomb are extremely rare, which makes people puzzled. The more this happens, the more they feel like they are frozen in the abyss. We must find a breakthrough point and completely uncover the secret buried in the tomb of King Xian."
I said to Shirley Yang and Fatty, "It is better to break one of his fingers than to hurt his fingers. Then take various methods of breaking them. When you see the coffin, you will get the material out of the material. Let's start now, hang a stumbling rope and see if the ghost coffin is the King of Exalted."
The fat man immediately rolled up his arms and sleeves: "I am so good at lifting the coffin to make money, so I often practice it in my sleep. I am not afraid of thousands of tricks, but I am afraid that one move will be familiar. You two will pretend to be stumbling ropes. The fat man will take care of the work of opening the coffin by himself."
I patted the fat man on the shoulder: "A good Commander Wang, who is in a vast ocean, shows his true nature, but remember that you must prepare both hands with a red heart. While touching the clear weapon, you must also beware of corpses. You must grab both hands and both hands must be hard. In addition, there is corpse gas in ancient coffins. Remember to check the gas mask in advance, and don't follow the last time you are in the Northeast... Forgot to wear gloves."
After I told the fat man, I took action separately and found three red ropes soaked in cinnabar. Shirley Yang was always curious about zombies and asked me: "Lao Hu, why are zombies afraid of red cinnabar?"
I said to Shirley Yang: "I don't know this kind of thing if you ask the blind fortune teller to know. I don't know much about it. But I guess cinnabar is useless. The principle is to use a rope to block the mouth of the coffin. The corpse inside is stiff and cannot be bent, and the arms and legs cannot be lifted up, so it can't come out. I have only encountered corpse evil spirits who were brought down from the formation talisman before. I don't know which thing is more powerful than zombies, but it seems that today I must meet the zombies, because we will open that set of bronze coffin later. As for whether there are zombies in the ghost coffin in front of us, it's hard to say. In short, we are prepared and stop it in advance."
As he spoke, I had prepared the "stumbling rope". Shirley Yang lit two candles in the corner according to the location of the two coffins in the "wooden coffin". I raised my hand to the fat man. The fat man immediately used his sharp "yin-exploring claws" to scrape off the elixir sealed at the interface of the "ghost coffin". The dark blue "ghost coffin" material is a rare special stone. If you want to classify it, you can mark it as a sarcophagus with jade coffin, etc. This kind of sarcophagus has no coffin nails, and they are all closed with stone mortise and tenon. The "yin-exploring claws" of the lieutenant are like a multi-functional Swiss army knife, and there is a section that is specially used to pull stone mortise.
The "ghost coffin" has seven mortises and tenons, one on the head, three on both sides, and not at the bottom. The fat man was having fun. One after another, he pried open the coffin lid. There was another layer of fish glue under the coffin lid, which had long been dead. He could only use the needle of the "silent claw" to penetrate deep and grind it a little bit.
Finally, the fat man shouted, "Come on." Shirley and Yang waited for an opportunity to beside him. Seeing that it was almost done, they immediately blocked three cinnabar "stumbling ropes" on the coffin. As soon as the lid opened, the visibility in the "wooden coffin" did not decrease. This shows that there was no corpse energy in the coffin. I thought to myself, it was strange that there was no corpse bone inside, or the structure of the ghost coffin was not strict, and the foul air after the corpse was dissipated along the casket. I quickly went to see the "ghost coffin".
After seeing it, he felt relieved. There was indeed a corpse of the coffin owner. There was a male corpse lying flat in the coffin. It was wrapped around the neck by Bai Jin. Only the head was seen. The body was relatively well preserved, and even the facial muscles did not shrink. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was lifelike. However, his death was really terrifying. His eye sockets were deeply trapped in, forming two black and red holes, and his eyeballs had been taken off. Because the eyes were missing in the Five Views, it looked extremely shocking and terrifying.
I was about to take a closer look, but the fat man had already used the "corpse-wrapped rope" to put the coffin owner's head, pulled him up from the coffin and raised his head, raising his hand to shoot the left and right, slapped the dead body seven or eight big slaps.
Shirley and Yang were both stunned and thought to myself that this fat guy had a wrong mind. Could it be that he had been possessed by evil spirits? He quickly stopped him and asked him what he wanted to do.
