Chapter 86 Kui

We surrounded and saw a downward staircase appearing in the hole exposed under the coffin.

Yuanxiao looked into the cave, "How many more is this ancient tomb? We have already penetrated deep into the seabed now!"

Our flashlight shines on the black rocks, reflecting a dark blue light.

"It seems that there is another world under this island!" Yuan An said, then walked in.

Yuanxiao looked at us, "Then let's go in too?" Seeing that I was a little hesitant, she said, "Then what, I'll go in first. If you don't want to go in, just wait for me here for a while." After that, Yuanxiao lowered her body and got in.

I looked at my second uncle, "Uncle II, then will we go in?"

The second uncle looked at me and sighed, "Big nephew, sometimes I regret it. I shouldn't lead you into the fight, but sometimes it's all fate!"

I said, "Forget it, I am curious and willing to come with me. You are right, maybe this is fate. But let's talk about these things later after we go out. Do you think we should go in and take a look?"

The second uncle smiled bitterly, "It's over here. Do we still have a way out now? We can only run to the dark side!"

I nodded, "That's true! Then let's go!"

So my second uncle and I also got into the hole and followed Yuan An and Yuanxiao in front.

The steps continued down until they were swallowed by the darkness below. Both sides of the stone steps were also pitch black, and all we could see was the road under our feet. Walking in such a place was like walking in a time and space tunnel. It made me a little dazed. Maybe, will we cross it? Will we find that the end of the road is actually the ruins of the Qilian Mountains? After walking for so long, we were just walking around for a circle?

We kept walking down like this for a long time, and I even began to imagine that we would go to the deepest part of the earth.

In such a place, the flashlight in our hands is very limited, and the darkness around us can easily swallow the light.

Yuanxiao took out two glow sticks from his bag, lit them, and threw them down from both sides of the stone steps.

The two glow sticks fell straight down, getting smaller and smaller, and eventually turned into two small spots of light and disappeared into the darkness.

I stood on the stone steps and saw this scene. My legs were weak and I almost sat on the ground. It turned out that there were abysses on both sides of the stone steps. Only then did I notice that the stone steps were really not wide, only about one meter. Once I made a mistake, I would probably fall to death without a complete body.

I walked on the stone steps in fear and walked for a long time, "Where are we going?" I asked involuntarily.

What made me a little strange was that no one answered me. I felt that since I came down to this stone stairs, everyone had become a little different. Even the usually talkative Lantern Festival was no longer talking nonsense at this time. He frowned, as if he was worried about something.

The second uncle behind me patted me on the shoulder, "Some things I have to face when I should."

I looked at my second uncle in surprise, "What do you mean to face? I don't want to face this. Don't worry, I will never get involved in this kind of thing in the future."

The second uncle shook his head with a wry smile, "Let's go first! I don't feel it's too far."

We walked along the stone steps for a while, and finally we walked up to the flat ground. It seemed like a mountain cave, but it was very huge.

The surrounding cave walls are uneven and the rocks are rugged. It seems that they are completely natural here and there are no traces of manual excavation.

The most strange thing is that as soon as we enter here, we can hear a strange sound, just like the sound of the wind blowing through the gap.

Yuanxiao looked around and said, "What's the sound?" No one could answer this question.

Yuan An, who was in front, suddenly discovered something, "Come on! Look at this!"

We quickly walked over and saw a strange thing in front of us. We said it was square or round, just like a big silkworm pupa placing it there, which made me feel goosebumps.

"What is this?" I asked curiously, then looked at the Lantern Festival on the side, who shrugged at me, saying that I didn't know either.

The second uncle and Yuan An seemed a little excited. The second uncle reached out and touched the strange thing, "I didn't expect that the legend was true. This thing was really in Qin Shihuang's hands!"

Yuan An also nodded, "I don't know how many magical artifacts Ying Zheng got."

I asked: Uncle Second, what is this?”

The second uncle smiled, "This is a treasure. Have you ever heard of something like Kui?"

I nodded, "I know this. I have seen it in the Shanhai Jing. According to legend, Kui is a one-legged monster. But it is all myths and legends!"

Uncle Er said: "I originally thought it was just something made up by the ancients. Until now, the living evidence is placed in front of us, and I know that there have been really such a divine beast like Kui in this world."

I looked at the dark thing in front of me, "Could this thing be Kui?"

Yuan An pointed to the thing in front of us and said, "There are Liubo Mountains in the East China Sea, which enters the sea for seven thousand miles. There are beasts on it, which are like cows, with a green body without horns. One foot, and when entering and leaving the water, it will wind and rain. Its light is like the sun and the moon, and its sound is like thunder. It is said that this Kui is a divine beast that accompanies the heaven and earth. In ancient times, there were only three remaining ones, one was captured by Huangdi, using its skin as a drum and its bone as a hammer, and the sound shook for 500 miles to defeat Chiyou. The second one was captured by Qin Shihuang. It's a pity that he did not have the achievements of Huangdi and could not make such a divine drum. But he used Kui's body to make something else."

I suddenly understood what Yuan An mean, "You mean, Qin Shihuang made a coffin with Kui's body?"

"That's right!" Yuan An nodded, "The coffin made of Kui skin is said to be able to keep people from rotting for thousands of years and has the effect of solidification."

"Configuration?" asked Yuanxiao, "What does it mean?"

Uncle Er replied: "Configuration refers to maintaining the shape and condition inside and outside the body when the corpse just died, and will remain unchanged for thousands of years."

I widened my eyes as soon as I heard this, "Uncle Second, according to you, if someone was put into this kind of Kui-skin coffin after his death in ancient times, then thousands of years have passed, and now medical technology has developed, which means that this person may be saved?"

Uncle Er nodded with a smile, "There is a possibility in theory, but who knows?"

I pointed to the Kuipi coffin in front of me and asked, "Who is the one buried here?"

Yuanxiao checked the appearance of the coffin, "No matter who he is, open it first!" This coffin is not sealed with a coffin lid like an ordinary coffin, and the Kui skin coffin is not square, so it still uses the Kui skin cover to seal the coffin mouth.

After saying that, Yuanxiao squatted down and reached out to untie the leather rope used to fix the upper cover. I wanted to go up and help, but my second uncle grabbed it and shook his head gently at me.

I was very puzzled and was about to ask why, but my second uncle made a ban on the voice. I looked at Yuan An next to me, and the latter also quietly took two steps back.

The performance of the second uncle and Yuan An clearly shows that they already knew that the coffin was in danger, but why did they stand by and watch Lantern Festival in danger?

I ignored my second uncle's obstruction and wanted to remind me of the danger of Lantern Festival, but I was covered by Yuan An next to me and pulled me to the darkness aside. Although these two people are not young, they are still very strong. I couldn't break free for a while, so I could only make a "whimper" sound.

Yuanxiao seemed to have not noticed the situation on our side at all. She reached out and unbuttoned the leather rope of the Kui skin coffin. In an instant, the leather cover that was originally covered on the mouth of the coffin suddenly opened, and then a strange sound came from the coffin, like a sneezing sound.

I secretly screamed, the things in the coffin were strange! Not only me, I obviously felt that the bodies of my second uncle and Yuan An were also shocked. It seemed that the situation in the coffin was also unexpected.

Yuanxiao was a little nervous. If I had encountered such a situation, I would have turned around and ran away, but he was different. Yuanxiao's first reaction was not to leave quickly, but to stretch his head and look into the coffin.

Just as Lanxiao was protruding her head, a snow-white arm suddenly stretched out from the coffin and grabbed Lanxiao's neck.

When I saw this scene, I struggled even harder. I tried hard to break free from the control of Yuan An and his second uncle. At this moment, a gunshot was heard. The arm deep in the coffin was interrupted by a shot from his wrist. Yuanxiao broke free and fell to the ground.

I was startled by the sudden gunfire. Looking in the sound, I saw a few figures running over quickly from the way we came. I was not unfamiliar with the person in front, it was Zhou Cheng!

At this time, Zhou Cheng was holding a large-caliber rifle in his hand. It was this gun just now, and it broke the wrist of the thing in the coffin with one shot. Zhou Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and helped the Lantern Festival up, "How is it? You are okay, Master!"

Yuanxiao rubbed his neck, and his face still turned red at this time. Yuanxiao coughed hard a few times and let out a long breath, "Damn! What's this tm!"

Before Lanxiao finished speaking, the broken arm stretched out from the coffin again. Zhou Cheng protected Lanxiao behind him, raised his rifle and pointed it into the coffin, and was about to shoot. At this moment, a voice suddenly shouted: "Don't shoot!"

Following the direction of the sound, I saw a few men in black walking over protecting a man. When I got closer, I saw clearly the person's appearance. He was not someone else, but the father of the Lantern Festival, one of the current rulers of the Tang family, Tang Handong!
