Chapter 144: What was missing
Ye Xuan turned his head and said: "Now that the surname He is dead, Old Man Hong is no longer pretending, and Li Yunge is also missing, where can we go to find Hong Zi'an? You can't squat in his house and wait for him to come out, right?"
I said slowly, "When I was cleaning the magic weapon just now, I was thinking about a problem. Are we winning or losing this battle?"
Ye Xuan's eyes almost didn't pop out: "We have taken such a big advantage, it's not a victory?"
I shook my head and said, "At present, we haven't won! First, we didn't hurt Yang Zhiming's roots, and second, we didn't find Hong Zi'an's whereabouts, and we delayed for more than a week. During this time, all the people related to us were desperately trying to resist the sect and guard against Yang Zhiming. Yang Zhiming himself seems to be standing still, but in fact he has already moved. We have been defending against Yang Zhiming, but we have ignored Li Yunge. Li Yunge is the key to our game. ”
I pointed to the computer: "Li Yunge's fate is actually doomed, even if there is no us, she will end up with the same fate." It's just that the process is different. ”
My voice sank and said, "Yang Zhiming played the card of Li Yunge at this time. It's certainly not just about self-preservation. I suspect that Yang Zhiming took advantage of the fact that we were dealing with the crisis everywhere and sent people to find out the truth about Hong Zi'an's Hualing. ”
Xiao Qian'er raised her eyebrows slightly: "I'll go find news." The Ministry of Intelligence is over, and there will definitely be people who are in a hurry to find a backer, and I will get the news soon. ”
I hesitated for a moment and said, "Just ask from the Ministry of Intelligence." Xuanzi, you call Chen Sanjin and ask him to lend us some people, preferably sappers. I'm going to do a carpet search of the playground in the shortest amount of time. ”
"Okay, don't worry, I'm familiar with that! He promised not to shirk it. Ye Xuan patted his chest and gave me a package ticket, Chen Sanjin really didn't disappoint me, and in less than half a day, he got me a battalion of sappers, and carried out a carpet search of the playground inch by inch, and really found the entrance to a cave behind the substation.
"The witch cave that Zhang Yuxuan said really exists. "The first thing I saw when I stepped into the cave was a table where tarot cards were placed.
Lin Yan has been here, but she has never mentioned anything about this place to me, Lin Yan didn't lie to me, she really doesn't want to be contaminated with the cause and effect of the world. This table is a hint she left for me, and it can be regarded as a disguised help!
I walked around the table a few times, pointed to the ground and said, "Dig this place out for me." ”
It didn't take much time for the sappers to dig a bluestone slab from the ground, and under the slab was a coffin made of pig iron, and strangely enough, what sealed the coffin was not a coffin nail in the usual sense, but a barbed wire fence full of spikes. At first glance, it looked like someone had thrown a coffin among the iron thorns.
I shone a flashlight on the coffin for a while before I found a piece of wire that had been cut in the corner of the coffin. It seems that someone deliberately cut open the thorns and let go of the contents of the coffin.
I just wanted to jump down to see what was going on, but I was dragged by the corner of my clothes by the little jelly bean: "Brother fox, don't go down yet." This is the coffin of the coffin door. ”
Jelly Bean deliberately stopped at this point, and I waved all the soldiers out of the cave before saying, "Say whatever you want?"
Xiao Jelly Bean said: "The coffin door is one of the oldest warlock sects, and it is said that there was a coffin door first and then a coffin. The biggest feature of the coffin door is that the coffin is used as a magic weapon, and the heavenly coffin is nine products, and the gods and demons are buried. On the coffin of heaven, the coffin is buried in the sky. ”
"Bragging, right? Can you even bury it in the sky?" Ye Xuan's eyes almost didn't pop out. And I gasped.
The origin of the coffin is impossible to verify, and no one knows who the first person to build the coffin was. If, as Xiao Jelly Bean said, there is a coffin door first and then a coffin, that coffin door can indeed be called the oldest sect of magic.
Xiao Jelly Bean said very seriously: "I don't know if the coffin door can bury the sky, but the heirs of the coffin door can bury gods and demons. ”
Xiao Jelly Bean pointed to the coffin below: "The coffins created by the heirs of the coffin door are different, and they are very particular about what coffins are buried and what corpses are buried, just like the coffin below is a fox." ”
"Fox?" I suddenly remembered something. I've heard an old saying: If a fox drills a wattle, it's either dead or alive.
Legend has it that the fox was a thief and knew that the hunters did not catch it for meat, but for its fur. If you are chased by someone, you will drill into the thorn bushes, and you would rather let the thorns open the skin and flesh on your body, and the blood will not come out. If you meet a hunter with a good heart, you may see that the fox's fur is torn apart, and you will not be a killer. If you have a big temper, you can beat it to death in the thorn bushes. That's how the phrase fox drills thorns comes from.
Therefore, foxes are also afraid of wattles, and enclosing wattles near the yard is also a way for ordinary people to prevent foxes.
If, looking at it this way, the iron thorns on the outside of the coffin were indeed meant to trap the fox.
I thought for a moment and said, "Jelly Bean, you won't let me go down because you're afraid that I will break the rules of the Dao?"
According to the rules of the art of magic, if a warlock sets a boundary in one place, the other warlocks cannot go over and destroy it, otherwise, it will be seen as a provocation.
Xiao Jelly Bean shook his head and said, "It is said that the coffin door has been extinct, and there are no disciples of the coffin door in the world." But the secret technique of the coffin door is unpredictable, I'm afraid there are some other mechanisms down there?"
"You'll have to go down and see! "I cautiously descended into the pit and circled the coffin before plucking a clump of fiery red fox fur from the broken iron thorns. It seems that the fox who was locked in the coffin couldn't wait for the people outside to expand its opening and rushed out of it, and only then was it scraped off a piece of fur by iron thorns.
At this time, Ye Xuan also followed: "This is not the hair of the leech, the fur of the monster we killed is not so red." ”
I swept my flashlight over the iron thorn and took something from it that looked like fish scales: "The coffin contains a red deer?"
According to the records of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the shape of the red deer is like a fox, with fish fins, and its name is called by its name, and it is cunning by nature, and the place where it appears will bring serious panic.
I pinched the fin and stood up: "Looks like I guessed right. The leech was really something that someone deliberately threw out to attract our attention, and the strange beast of the mountains and seas that really confused Hong Zi'an was the Zhu Xiong who was buried in the coffin. Let the sappers hang the coffin out, and I want to take a closer look, what is in this coffin?"
When the sappers outside were carrying the equipment, Ye Xuan asked in a low voice, "Old class, don't you think it's a little strange." If your judgment is correct, that red deer should be wise! We didn't have that brain when we met those mountain and sea beasts before!"
I said in a deep voice, "I think it's strange too. Little Qian'er, has the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation recorded this before?"
Xiao Qian'er lowered her voice and said, "I used to work in the archives for a while. The main target of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau is the mountains and seas of strange beasts, and there have been many incidents of mountains and seas of strange beasts hurting people all over the country. There are also some alien beasts who suspect the existence of intelligence. It's just that it hasn't been confirmed. ”
"Hmm!" I nodded, and the sappers had moved the coffin outside, cutting the thorns around it with hydraulic tongs, and were waiting for my orders.
After I let all the sappers leave, I worked with Ye Xuan to push open the lid of the coffin.
There was nothing left in the coffin, which was almost a man tall, except for a pillow made of metal.
I tapped the pillow a few times with my knife before picking it up: "This pillow is the secret box of the mechanism." Let's take the pillow back and see. Little Qian'er, you worked hard to get the sappers to bring the coffin back to the bureau. ”
I'm sure the Warlock at the Coffin Gate wouldn't put a trap crate in the coffin for no reason. However, I researched all the way and couldn't figure out how to open the secret box.
I've used a white light to illuminate the outer layer of the crate, and I've tried to pry through the cracks in the crate with a dagger, but I've never been able to help the crate. Just as I was looking at the secret box and worrying, the white lamp I hung in the room suddenly lit up a little fluorescent.
Since Lin Yan handed over the lamp to me, the white light has never been lit. A few days ago, the white light was stained with blood by Yang Zhiming, and I didn't even know if the white light had been cleaned up, but this time it turned on by itself.
As soon as the fire point on the white light flickered, the living room lamp above my head exploded with a bang, and the glass in the sky was scattered with sparks from broken wires, and the lights of the villa were extinguished one after another, and the whole villa could no longer see any light except for the white lamp.
I took the flashlight out of my backpack and tried to push the switch, but the light bulb exploded as soon as a glimmer of light flashed on the flashlight.
Ye Xuan, Xiao Qian'er all stood up at once, and looked at the door with all their bodies on guard.
"Don't be nervous!" I subconsciously looked up at the white light in the living room: "One light up, ten thousand lights out, only me?"
My grandfather used to tell me that when the white lantern of the Chen family is lit, there are no more lights nearby, and no matter what kind of lamp it is, it must be dimmed and extinguished under the white lamp.
I used to think that it was just my grandfather's exaggeration, but I didn't expect that I would witness the supremacy of the Chen family's white light today.
When I stared at the white light, the fire in the lantern slowly jumped, and the strange green light emitted by the firelight the size of a bean, like a wolf hidden in the black shadow, staring at the corner of the living room, and the light shifted to that side with the fire.
I don't think there's anything over there except for a chair!
