9.Chapter 9: Mystic Armor II
When Li Laosan said this, he stopped again, and looked at the wine gourd in Lao Liutou's hand with two eyes, and the latter immediately held the wine gourd in his arms. Li Laosan pursed his lips, picked up the teacup on the table, drank the tea that had already been left cold in one gulp, and then continued.
That night, Wang Chuan and others hurried down the mountain. In this group of people, they have seen a lot on weekdays, but at best, they can encounter some zongzi that are not deep, and they have really never seen such a vicious thing. So ten confessed to the tomb, and the remaining dozen or so left Sichuan overnight, and a few simply came to wash their hands in a golden basin, vowing never to buy and sell again. In the end, only five people, including Wang Chuan, felt unwilling and reluctant to let go of this hot piece of fat. So Wang Chuan came forward and contacted the senior surnamed Lu, of course, he only said that he was looking for the baby, which was a bit tricky, but he didn't explain what kind of tricky trick he had. But Senior Lu still decided to make a trip, so he took his three apprentices and me and rushed to Sichuan overnight. Wang Chuan honestly explained the whole thing, and after that, the five of us together finally decided to go to the tomb after discussing and weighing the pros and cons! In the end, ten of us, one of whom did not stay in the tomb, of course, we let Wang Chuan and a few of them play the front row, before going down the pit, Senior Lu also sprinkled a bag of gray powder into the pit, saying that it was glutinous rice flour mixed with graphite powder, which can ward off evil spirits and drive away poison. After entering the tomb, we lit the lanterns in the four corners of the tomb, and then began to carefully observe every corner of the tomb with the miner's lamp. ”
Li Laosan stopped for the third time, swallowed his saliva, and Lao Liu rolled his eyes.
Li Laosan continued to tell his story: The tomb was really unique, and there was nothing, there were three sarcophagi mentioned by Wang Chuan, and the lid of the middle sarcophagus fell to the ground. One of the apprentices of Senior Lu was bolder, and he walked to the edge of the sarcophagus with a miner's lamp, poked his head and glanced inside, and then said something empty.
"What? empty!" Wang Chuan ran over in disbelief and glanced into the sarcophagus, which was really empty. He looked around and thought to himself that the coffin was empty, where was the green-eyed monster? Others apparently thought of it as well, but most remained silent.
"Master, can the remaining two sarcophagi be opened?" another apprentice of Senior Lu asked.
"Open!" After all, he was a respected old man in the industry, and Senior Lu at this time seemed extremely decisive. And as he blurted out this word, his apprentices copied the guy together, and Wang Chuan and his companions also stepped forward to help when they saw this.
They first sprinkled a circle of gray powder around the sarcophagus that Lu senior had sprinkled into the pit on the ground before, Lu senior stepped forward and made up another circle, and then four steel drills were inserted into the four sides of the sarcophagus on the left. Then there was a "squeak" sound, and the lid of the sarcophagus was slowly opened. Sure enough, just like Wang Chuan said, the coffin lid was opened a crack, and black gas began to emerge from the coffin, and at the same time, it also carried a foul smell. Wang Chuan, who was on the side, smelled this smell and couldn't help but vomit. Senior Lu glared at him, then strode to the edge of the sarcophagus, poured another pound of gray powder into it, and after a while, the black gas coming out of the sarcophagus began to decrease, and then it simply stopped bubbling at all.
"It's done, let's open the coffin!" Senior Lu shouted excitedly.
As soon as his disciples heard the master's words, they began to exert their strength, preparing to quickly pry open the lid of the coffin. But before he could exert his strength, the coffin lid weighing at least three hundred pounds flew up by itself, turned over in the air and slammed into the coffin opener, one of Wang Chuan's partners, before he had time to dodge, was hit by the coffin lid, and became a puddle of meat on the spot. Everyone was taken aback and hurriedly flashed to the side.
At this moment, the uncovered sarcophagus began to smoke black again, and the stench brought out was even worse than the previous one, and even I couldn't stand it anymore. After a burst of black gas, a black mass poked out of the sarcophagus, and on top of it were two green balls the size of a baby's fist, flashing and shining.
"Don't move, it's a living thing!" Senior Lu waved his hand and said softly.
Before he could finish speaking, the "thing" stood up from the sarcophagus, and it was indeed a living thing. I looked at it, and it was the size of an adult lion, looking like a wolf but never a wolf, and it was covered in black goo, and the black gas and disgusting smell just now must have been emitted by these gooey things. I had just thought of it, but the thing had already roared out of the sarcophagus, its hind feet squeaking and squeaking white smoke as it stepped on the black powder we had sprinkled around the sarcophagus. It opened its mouth wide and showed a pained expression, and this mouth drooled all over the ground, and another foul smell.
"It's a grave dog, be careful!" Senior Lu recognized this thing at a glance.
"Grave dogs?" When I heard this name, I was shocked, and when I entered the industry, I heard a fellow practitioner mention this thing, and it is rumored that some people in ancient times would raise a vicious dog that would eat living people during their lifetime, and when they died, they would bury the vicious dog alive and bury it for their master's tomb. After these grave guards were buried alive, most of them died without stiffness, and they specifically gnawed on the people who came to rob the tombs. But this is just a hearing, and I never took it to heart, but I didn't expect to see a living one this time, and I don't know how to feel. I took a closer look at the grave dog not far away, and thought to myself that if I could grow so big, how many Tufu children from the past and present must be in my belly. Thinking so, the guy looked at me with his big green eyes, and began to bark at me. I suddenly felt creepy, and quickly turned away and stopped looking at him.
And Wang Chuan's group obviously hadn't heard of the tomb guard dog, especially Wang Chuan, he scolded and said: "It's a dog after a long time!" and so on, and began to sacrifice all kinds of "treasures". What black donkey hooves, copper coin strings, red rope rings, peach wood swords, you name it. But in fact, his treasures are of little use here and now. When Wang Chuan smashed the black donkey's hooves in his hand at the tomb guard dog, the tomb guard dog not only dodged, but also grabbed the black donkey's hooves, chewed it twice, seemed to feel wrong, spit on the ground, and then jumped up and pounced on Wang Chuan. The speed was so fast that Wang Chuan didn't have time to dodge, and he was pressed to the ground by the tomb dog, the tomb dog opened its mouth wide, showing its fangs, and ticked on Wang Chuan's face, which immediately thought that it was corroded by sulfuric acid. In Wang Chuan's heart-rending cry, I even saw the white bones on his face. Later, we watched him being torn to pieces by the grave guard dog. That's a miserable one!
