Chapter 816: Sitting in the Coffin
Without waiting for the crab to react, I backhanded it at the door of its head, leaving a red dot on its eyebrow from the blood-stained fingertips. The human-headed crab's eyes rolled and fell to the ground, and the companions who had been surrounding it not only did not make up for the vacated position of the other party, but hung them in the air with their crab legs, vacating the position of the human-headed crab.
I frowned slightly, and immediately raised my hand to point at the eyebrows of the human head crabs around me, and in just a few moments, more than a dozen human head crabs foaming at my feet were piled up, and I also saw a square wooden box on the gap in the human head Jingguan.
I gestured to Ye Xun and them, which means: Let them help me press the formation. I got into it with my own cat's waist through the gap in the human head Jingguan.
As soon as my body moved, I felt a stinging pain like a pinprick coming from my back, and I didn't even have to look back to know that it was the crab foot that was stretched out in the air and pierced the back of my clothes, and my back was tense, and the crab claws stretched out from the air also retracted from their place, although I didn't check the injury on my back, I also felt blood flowing down my spine.
At that time, I didn't care how badly injured I was, so I quickly climbed forward a few steps with my hands on the ground, grabbed the buckle on the box and quickly pulled the box out. I originally thought that the box was not heavy, until the box landed from the Jingguan Platform and made a loud bang, I realized that the green bricks on the ground had been crushed by the wooden box, and the weight of this box was at least more than 1,000 catties, otherwise, it would not have produced such a great force.
I turned my head to look at the Kyoto Observatory, and I realized that the surface of the Kyoto Observatory was not only smooth as a mirror, but also had a few traces like a slide, which minimized the resistance of the Kyoto Observatory to the boxes.
The Kyokandai was designed to make it easier to move the box, but when the box hit the ground, I couldn't move the box anymore.
I circled the box twice in a row before I could see the picture carved on the outside of the box. From the outermost side of the chest, the funeral scene is depicted, and although the clothes of the funeral procession are not painted, they are very similar to the gray warlocks in Shark Reef.
In the second picture, an endless procession throws the coffin into a bottomless well, sits in a circle, and sits next to the well.
The third side of the wooden box has become a blank space. The outer layer of the box also seems to be about an inch thinner, and it looks like someone has deliberately removed the third drawing.
By the time of the last painting, the mourners had all their heads wiped off and looked like a group of headless corpses sitting by the well. However, the body stood and did not fall, still sitting in its original posture near the mouth of the well.
I frowned and stared for a few seconds before whispering, "What are the detectives out there doing?"
Li Xiaomei, who had been staring at the outside of the main hall, quickly replied, "I'm resting in place." ”
"What did you say?" I glanced sideways outside, and the Divine Explorer led by Qi Yan was really sitting in the mud soaked by the blood river, allowing the evil qi around him to float, even if most people's Yin Hall was already as dark as ink, no one moved for a minute. It didn't seem to care if the Blood River Demon would bring them a fatal danger, and it seemed that they were waiting for the evil qi to weaken so that they could hit the palace gate in one fell swoop.
I simply let go of the box and walked over to Wu Blind: "What are they doing?"
"It's going to be auspicious. Wu sneered blindly: "If you want to become auspicious, is it something that ordinary people can do? Wait! I want to see how they die." ”
"No, definitely not!" I shook my head slightly as I approached the door.
The factors that determine victory or defeat in the rivers and lakes do not depend entirely on force and secret arts. Sometimes the difference between victory and defeat lies even outside the rivers and lakes.
The Dongting Dragon Palace is full of dangers, and the blood river is coming from the direction of the lake shore, no one knows what will happen on the lake shore in the next moment, even if most of the people in the Divine Exploration Hands are seriously injured and fall to the ground, they should not rest on the spot, and it is the best policy to attack the palace gate with all their might, or simply withdraw from Liu Yijing, but Qi Yan, who has experienced a hundred battles, chose the most unwise decision.
Qi Yan couldn't be stupid all of a sudden, the only explanation was that the other party had other plans.
Is Li Snake plotting Wu's blind gourd?
Li Snake used to seem impetuous, arrogant, and unusable. But this time, his performance was impressive, and it also verified Zhang Min's guess that the Li family was not a dragon slaying warlock, but a dragon vein celestial master.
I was in a hurry to leave just now because I felt that Li Snake forced Wu to hand over the gourd's chips on me and Ling'er. The Li family is good at slaying dragons, and Ling'er and I both have Jiaolong's blood on our bodies, and the poisonous smoke he threw down just now is either highly poisonous against Jiaolong's bloodline, or it can catalyze the speed at which Ling'er and I turn into snakes, only in this way can we force Wu to obey Li Snake's orders.
However, neither Ling'er nor I reacted until now, but Li Snake sat down with someone, and he was definitely not waiting for me and Ling'er to have a dragon blood attack. If Ling'er and I rushed out of the side hall before the Jiaolong blood attacked, the news that Li Snake could wait for would either be that we all disappeared into the sea and disappeared without a trace, or that we would take the lead and threaten the other party in turn. He knew that the two of us couldn't get out of the side hall, so he sat down confidently.
Is he the chip or the box?
I looked at Wu and said, "Uncle, what is that box?"
"If I'm not mistaken, I'm supposed to be in a coffin. Wu said blindly: "You have to find a way to get it away." Whether you can break the ban or not depends on what is in the coffin?"
Sitting in a coffin?
I've heard of coffin sitting.
In a normal coffin, the deceased is lying in the coffin and sleeping in the ground. The deceased in the coffin sat cross-legged and always maintained a meditative posture.
Buried in the coffin, it is either the immortal metamorphosis of the Taoist master, or the golden body of the Buddhist monk, and ordinary people will not choose to sit in the coffin. Moreover, judging from the coffins unearthed so far, the shape of the coffins is a large vat made of clay, and there is no wooden coffin, and the outside of the coffin will not have too much decoration, which is extremely inconsistent with the essence of the monk's simple score. That box will be a coffin?
The box is obviously divided into two layers, and it looks like a coffin, but the box has no coffin lid as a whole, and at first glance it looks like four wooden boards nailed together.
I was thinking about it, Ye Xun suddenly said: "There is a mechanism in that box, Senior Wu, can you let me go to the side of the coffin to have a look." ”
Wu Blind thought for a while and said: "The three of us will go together, and after a while, I will ask Wang Huan to draw a talisman on your head, this talisman can allow you to hold a stick of incense near the coffin for a long time, not to be attacked by the head crab, a stick of incense is here, you quickly withdraw, don't make trouble for Wang Huan, you know?"
After Ye Xun nodded, Wu Blind cut another cut on my finger, grabbed my hand and drew a spiritual rune on Ye Xun's forehead. Only then did he take me to the vicinity of the coffin, and Ye Xun tapped it several times in a row. Only then did he say: "There are at least four locks in this coffin, and we have to find a way to unlock them." The keyhole should be in the ......"
Ye Xun stretched out his hand and pointed to the fourth painting on the coffin: "On the heads of these people." ”
The funeral scene in the first painting flashed through my mind, and the vast majority of the people in that painting were replaced by simple lines, and only nearly a hundred people could see the traces of robes, among which there were four people with their faces drawn, and those four people were the key to unlocking the lock?
In the midst of a flash of lightning, I took a few steps around the front of the coffin, stretched out my hand and pushed on a person's head, and the person's face turned like a ball embedded in a groove, and it was only the person's side face that was facing me, I just gently flicked it twice, and the picture showed a strange smile.
I pinched the two sides of the opponent's ear with two fingers, directly pulled the wooden ball-like human head off, took it in my hand, turned it left and right twice, and then pulled out the remaining three human heads in turn.
I was holding the head of the four wooden carvings, but I was worried again.
On the fourth picture, there are four headless figures sitting cross-legged around the mouth of the well, but there is nothing to suggest about the position of their heads, who are the four heads pressed on? The person who made this coffin cannot leave us with a chance to experiment, I estimate that after being wrong three times at most, this coffin will self-destruct.
Wu blindly watched me stay still, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and said, "Huanzi, you go out, I'll try." I have a magic weapon to improve luck, I will arrange a small feng shui bureau for you to transfer, maybe, if you are lucky, you will be able to get lucky. You go first!"
"That's not right!" I shook my head and said, "This coffin is not a test of luck." ”
I suddenly turned my head to look at the blank picture: "Fiction is real, reality is fiction, this box is a test of deceit." The keyhole is here. ”
I raised my hand and poked at the blank space of the box on the third side, the moment my finger touched the box, the wood that was as solid as iron was suddenly poked open a hole by my finger, I picked up the wooden head and put a pair on the hole, the size was just right!
Wu was blind and surprised: "How do you know that there is a keyhole here?"
I stretched out my hand and compared: "The place I poked is where the well of the fourth painting is located." In the fourth painting, there is only a human body, not a head. Where did all those people's heads go? The answer is that all of them were thrown into the well. The person who designed this box deliberately thinned the third side to remind us to think about the unseen. That's why I think the keyhole is on the third side. ”
As I spoke, four wooden blocks burst out on the fourth painting in succession, and by the time I turned my head to look, four holes had been blown out of the heads of the four corpses by the well.
Wu Blind and Ye Xun couldn't help but look at my face together.
