Chapter 13: Twelve Coffins

Lao Dao didn't say anything when he heard this, just smiled and nodded, passed by Li Kong, and walked up the steps.

After walking two miles, Li Kong asked Su Lan why he didn't tell the truth.

Su Lan said that the Qingshan faction never went out of the mountain, let alone heard that it had any dealings with Qingfeng Ridge, in order to ensure that it was only expedient not to tell the truth.

Li Kong's thinking about it makes sense.

After walking for another two miles, Li Kong really couldn't hold on, so he put down the big hole Zhenren.

"I still have some water in my gourd, you drink it first. Li Kong untied the wine gourd on his waist and handed it to Su Lan.

"When we get out of this mountain, we'll find a donkey cart, and you can hold on a little longer. She took the gourd, took two sips of it, and returned it to Li Kong. "You drink too. ”

Li Kong took it and looked at the mountain road in a daze.

"Drink!"

"I'm not thirsty. Li Kong shook his head.

"Don't worry, as long as we get out of the mountain, I'll have a way to contact my father. Su Lan snatched the gourd, pulled out the lid for Li Kong, and sent it to him.

Li Kong said: "Why do we have to send Dadong Zhenren to Honghe County?"

"This question has been answered before, the four real people are not ordinary people, so naturally they can't be buried casually. It is up to the monarch of the Great Zhou to decide how to settle it. Su Lan said.

"That's not what I meant!" Li Kong shook his head.

"Then what do you mean?" Su Lan stared at Li Kong, waiting for him to reply.

"Actually, I didn't know what I was trying to say, I always felt that something was wrong. Li Kong thought for a while and said.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know. ”

"I'll carry it, you can take a break. Su Lan stepped forward.

"No, you're a woman, you can't carry it, I'll come. Li Kong naturally refused.

In the evening. It's raining.

Fortunately, the two walked not far away, and a Yizhuang appeared in front of them, and they saw that the two of them knew that there should be a village nearby.

"There are a lot of coffins here. Putting down the big hole real person, Li Kong pointed to the coffin in the dark and said.

"Only after the death of the floating population from the village will they be parked in Yizhuang, and most of these coffins are new. At this time, the sky was already dark, and after entering Yizhuang, the cloudy wind gusted, blowing on the tips of Su Lan's hair, light and elegant, adding a bit of agility to it.

"No matter, I can only stay here for one night today. After going around the coffin, Li Kong came to a conclusion that the coffin was indeed new, and the dust on the coffin lid was not heavy, at most it would be two or three months.

He wondered why the coffins were locked with large chains.

"I'll light the fire, and you can find some dead branches. Su Lan said.

The two divided their labor and soon lit a bonfire.

Dead branches are located at the foot of the east wall of the courtyard, but fortunately, the rain is not heavy and not completely soaked.

"Why do the coffins here have to be locked with iron chains?" After eating the dry food, Li Kong asked the doubts in his heart.

Su Lan was well-informed, and after Li Kong's question, he said slowly: "There are two possibilities. ”

"What are the two possibilities?"

"First, the person in the coffin died unnaturally, causing the soul to remain, which will cause the corpse to be defrauded. The second type, the person in the coffin, was bitten by a zombie before his death, and the corpse caused a mutation, in addition to the charm submission, it also needs an iron barrier to prevent it from breaking out of the coffin. Su Lan said.

"Which one do you think is more likely?" asked Li Kong.

For this kind of analysis, Li Kong still agrees that in the Dao Law, there are indeed spells to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and some powerful spells can withstand the power of heavenly thunder.

"It's hard to say. Su Lan shook her head, not presumprising.

"I think it's the first one. Li Kongyan said.

"Let's talk about it, why are you so sure?" Listening to Li Kong's words, Su Lan became interested.

"If someone hadn't gone up the mountain three months ago, I would never have believed that there would be a village under the mountain. Li Kong said half of his words and fell into memory.

"What does this have to do with the dead body in the coffin?" asked Su Lan with a tilt of her head.

"Three months ago, it was a couple who went up the mountain, and I heard my master Nanyang Zhenren say that they went up the mountain to seek a charm to ward off evil spirits, and I only looked at the woman at that time, and did not pay attention to the specific conversation between them. ”

"So it's possible. But how do you deduce that the person in the coffin died unnaturally?"

Looking out of the house, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, just for a while, the road they walked on just now was flooded, and it was rare for such a heavy rain in late autumn, Su Lan turned his head to look at the row of coffins behind him after adding wood to the bonfire.

Hearing her ask, Li Kong pretended to be deep and said, "You look up at the roof beams." ”

Su Lan looked up, only to see four charms pasted on the beams of the house, Su Lan is not a Taoist, I don't know what the charm painted with cinnabar represents, but Li Kong is the apprentice of Nanyang Zhenren, even if he doesn't go on the road, he also recognizes this most popular evil talisman and demon suppression talisman.

"Nanyang painted by real people?"

"I just found out, too. Li Kong got up, performed seven steps, and jumped onto the beam.

"Can't tear ......"

Before he finished shouting, Li Kong had already torn off a sheet, this was a demon suppression talisman, and he could also draw it.

"Whoa. ”

"What's the sound?" Su Lan's back was cold.

"It seems that the coffin moved. Li Kong looked down, and what was moved just now was indeed the coffin, the red coffin in the east.

"How could the coffin move by itself?" The night rain was drifting, the wind was gusting, and the coffins in the house were uncomfortable for anyone, Su Lan's face was pale at this time, which was frightened.

"Could it be that I tore up a talisman just now?" As he spoke, Li Kong had already jumped off the beam of the room and landed in front of Su Lan.

Women are naturally timid, even Su Lan, who has just killed a monster, can't help frowning in the face of the coffins full of dead corpses in the room.

"Paste it back. Su Lan took a step back and pointed at Fang Liang and shouted.

"Yes. Li Kong felt that it made sense, and was about to jump on the beam of the house, but saw a black coffin in the southeast corner also move.

There are twelve coffins, four on the east, four on the west, and four on the north.

"Could it be a corpse?" Su Lan was frightened.

"It looks like that. Li Kong was also frightened, at this time he had jumped on the beam of the house, and pasted the charm in his hand to its original position, but the charm had failed, and after pasting, the coffin vibrated more violently, and the four coffins in the southeast all made the sound of grinding teeth.

Click.

This is the sound of a fingernail leaving in a coffin.

With the violent shaking, the iron lock wrapped around the coffin also began to shake, and the abnormal sound in the coffin became more and more intense, and there was a possibility of breaking the coffin at any time.

"Are you going to hunt ghosts?"

"I haven't caught it. ”

"Where's the glyphs?"

"A little. ”

"Then what are you still doing in a daze, draw a picture. Su Lan was overjoyed.

"But......" Li Kong was a little embarrassed, and stopped talking.

"But what?"

"There is no cinnabar. ”

"It's really stupid, with finger blood, I saw that the Taoist priest had done the Fa, because it should be possible. Su Lan watched nervously, and one of the four coffins in the east had already been pushed open with a coffin lid.

"I'll try. Li Kongyi gritted his teeth, bit his right index finger, and found that there was no yellow paper.

"Paint the coffin directly on the lid. When Su Lan shouted, she had already rushed towards a dead body that was about to break out of the coffin.

Li Kong didn't dare to hesitate, although he didn't know the bottom in his heart, he still jumped on the lid of the coffin, pressed it on it with Su Lan, and then began to draw talismans.

Su Lan was sweating, and she could see that she was trembling slightly, Li Kong did not draw the talisman immediately, but recalled it for a moment, and then pointed down to paint.

The spell was very complicated, and each symbol represented a blessing of telekinesis, and Li Kong did not draw it quickly, just as he was about to finish it, a white corpse hand stretched out from under the lid of the coffin.

Su Lan was not in a hurry to dodge, and was caught.

The cold, biting temperature with a greasy temperature like corpse oil made Su Lan nauseate for a while, and when she exclaimed, she had already taken out a dagger in her left hand and slashed at the corpse hand.

"It's done. Hey, why are you still moving?" Li Kong's heart was cold.

"To recite the mantra, think about what Nanyang Zhenren recites when he does it. Su Lan was so anxious that she was about to cry, since the white-skinned corpse hand that fell to the ground was still writhing, it was really terrifying.

"I want to think about it......" Li Kong sighed, he was also anxious.

"Soon, another dead body in the coffin is coming out. ”

Without waiting for the words to finish, Su Lan had already jumped from the red coffin in the east to the black coffin on the side.

Li Kong's heart was so anxious, the more eager he was, the more he couldn't think of a spell.

In a fit of rage, Li Kong lifted the lid of the coffin, took three steps back, and waited for the corpse to jump out on its own.

Su Lan was stunned, she didn't know what Li Kong was doing, and just as she was about to shout, she saw that the roof was split by lightning and a bolt of lightning struck the red coffin.

After the red coffin was struck by lightning, the iron lock wrapped around it flashed white light and shattered all the coffins, and Su Lan almost fell into the coffin, moved away in the air, and stumbled to the ground.

I was in a hurry just now, and I almost forgot that I could still reach the sky, but with just one move, I solved all the corpses in the coffin.

After the lightning, the coffin was ignited, and the stench of charred corpses filled the entire Yizhuang.

Li Kong covered his nose and checked them one by one to see if there were any leaks.

"Look, this costume is so strange!" After examination, it was found that there was indeed a corpse that had not been charred, and after the electric shock, the corpse had no chance of being troubled, and was already dead.

"This is the costume of the Zhao people. Su Lan recognized it at a glance.

"How could Zhao Guoren come to Da Zhou?" Li Kong wondered.

Su Lan was silent, and lowered her head to examine the corpse, judging from its appearance, it should be a woman in her thirties, and her feet were still stained with sludge, and there seemed to be white powder in the sludge.

"Look at the other corpses for this white powder on their feet. Su Lan pointed left and right.

Li Kong didn't know why, so he checked them one by one. "There's this too, and so are these two. ”

"I know where they came from!" Su Lan's face was solemn.

"Where?"

"Remember when I told you about the ancient tombs found on the border of the Zhao Kingdom?" Su Lan asked rhetorically.

"Are you saying that these dead bodies are all from the ancient tombs on the border of the Zhao Kingdom?" Li Kong was shocked, this was incredible.

Su Lan frowned, and after checking the nails of the dead corpse, she was even more sure. "They were buried alive in the tomb, but since they were buried alive, how did these people come back here from so far away? ”

"Could it be that some kind of spell was cast to let them come back on their own? Didn't you say that the ancient tomb was later razed to the ground!" Li Kong's eyes flashed, as if he had discovered a big secret.

"You're right, these people came back on their own, and the villagers didn't notice it at first, but then they discovered the abnormality, so they went up the mountain and asked your master for a charm to suppress them in Yizhuang. ”

The clues were connected, and the clouds were immediately cleared, and Su Lan suddenly exclaimed. "No, my dad fell for the enemy. ”
