Chapter 20: The Resurrection of the Founder
Last time, I said: Ito and others used the divine power of the Shura hairpin to lift the illusion of the sarcophagus in an incredible anti-gravity way, and used the most primitive crowbars to open the red and black wooden coffin, but unexpectedly, in the gray-yellow turbid liquid, a black and wet person suddenly sat up!
Everyone present, including Ito, was so bluffed that they took a few steps backwards!
……
The light refracted from the dome seemed to be much dimmer, and the crystal sphere had lost its luster. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The mosquito was already paralyzed in fright, and closed its eyes hard, not daring to look again.
Omori and the buffalo clenched their daggers like hyenas around a male lion, gritting their teeth and hunching their backs, staring at the black shadow in the coffin.
The black shadow, wrapped in countless silk vines, was like a strange insect in a cocoon, shaking like an electric shock, and making a "hissing" sound.
With this extremely strange cry, Ito saw a blurred red light and shadow in front of his chest, and the arc bent like that, flying towards the center of the coffin, as if it was his own soul, absorbed by the black shadow like a magnet, and separated from his body.
A sharp cramping pain in the chest!
Oops! Is it - rainbow charm?
A hideous grimace flashed in his mind, "Omori! Fast! Cinnabar! He endured the severe pain, screamed hoarsely at his side, his face was all deformed, beads of sweat the size of beans were puffing, and the goggles were also covered with a layer of fog, and he couldn't see clearly.
I only heard a "bang" in my ear, and Omori beside him fell to the ground, and the dagger in his hand also fell to the side.
Looking at the others, they also opened their mouths wide, clutched their chests in pain, and fell to the ground kicking their legs. On their bodies, there was a red arc of light, bending and writhing, and the electricity was the same, concentrating on the ghost in the coffin.
Except for one person.
Except for one person?
Yes. It was none other than the mosquito that had just been paralyzed on the ground with its eyes closed. What was strange was that there was no red arc of light on this kid's body, and there was not the slightest expression of pain.
Seeing this, Ito didn't have time to think about it, and almost used up his last bit of strength, and shouted with red eyes: "Quick! Mosquito! Use cinnabar quickly! ”
Zhu ...... Cinnabar? The mosquito shook and opened his eyes, already frightened by the strange scene in front of him. The blue and white pillars of light intertwined with flashlights, and the ground curled up with four big men who were still alive just now, all struggling in pain like leeches, covered with dust. Moreover, what made the soul fly was that a red arc of light burst out of their chests, sizzling and making the sound of electricity, connecting to the terrible ghost in the middle!
"Oh mama! …… This, what is this......" The mosquito heard Ito's blood-red eyes, and shouted at himself like a devil, almost subconsciously, raising his hand to touch his pocket. Due to excessive nervousness, I turned several pockets up and down before I took out a bag of cinnabar from the zippered pocket at the waist of my coat. This is what Ito asked Omori to send to them before coming to the shogundun, and it has been ground into powder beforehand, red and red, like a bag of chili powder.
"Quick! Sprinkle it quickly......" Ito's lips were purple, and he was anxious and helpless to watch the mosquito look like a monkey turning lice for a long time before taking out the bag of cinnabar, and he couldn't wait to immediately take out a knife and reward him with four or five blood holes. But he had no strength at all, so he could only raise his hand and point at the ghost, and he didn't say anything more.
The mosquito looked at the others again, and Omori was lying on the ground, long since he was silent; The buffalo and the other big man, presumably called Hammer, also collapsed to the side, and only their legs were still shaking and twitching.
Nima! Lao Tzu fought with you! The mosquitoes came out of nowhere, grabbed a large handful of cinnabar, shouted in his heart, and rushed up to shine on the ghost in it.
It's strange to say, after being pounced on by cinnabar, several crackling arcs of light suddenly disappeared, and the ghost also stopped twitching and stiffened in the coffin. The slippery and greasy body is bubbling with red mist.
"Ah~ah~ahh The mosquitoes also sprinkled a lot of cinnabar powder, their noses itched, and a sneeze shook the room. He didn't care about the red powder, like a mouse that had just rolled out of the paprika, so he quickly turned around, ran to hug the buffalo, and cried and shook for his life.
The buffalo's head buzzed as if an airplane was flying overhead, and its tall body was like a deflated tire, slumped limply on the ground.
Wandering by this, he gurgled in his throat, and when he slowly opened his eyes, he saw a blood-red, tear-stained mosquito calling his name.
Good brothers! The buffalo grabbed the mosquito's weak arm and shook it vigorously, and it was fine...... I'm fine......
On this side, Ito, Omori, and Hammer also came to their senses, rubbed their still painful, somewhat disgusting chests, and then busied themselves at the black shadow in the coffin—finally not moving, like a large, charred corn cob, still wrapped in black silk vines, and steaming wisps of dark red mist.
It's dangerous!
Ito snorted secretly. Omori spat at the mouth, picked up the dagger on the ground and was about to rush up to do it, but was stopped by Ito and shouted: "Slow! This enchantment is powerful! He took out the Shura hairpin again, and the four hairpins emitted a cold light, and continued: "It is all our desire to win and fall into his way!" It seems that the 'three openings' that must be passed here cannot be saved at every step......"
Three open? Which three open?
The first opening, the cave of nonsense, is the cave door where the goatee inserted a ghost in fear just now, and four red lights opened, and the one who opened it died.
The second opening, the seamless coffin, the four crests inserted by Omori with a hairpin, the one who opened it died.
The third opening must be in this coffin......
Ito took a breath, raised his hand to wipe the fog off the goggles, and ordered everyone to take out some cinnabar and sprinkle it on the large rice dumpling like a corn cob in it.
This coffin, made of some kind of wood, seems to have lasted for thousands of years, and it can still be filled with water without rotting. The outside is painted with black and red lacquer, painted with various patterns, and the four sides are the Vermilion Bird, the White Tiger, the Xuanwu, and the Green Dragon Quartet Spirit Beasts, the lines are smart and smooth, and it is full of infinite tension. And the coffin lid that was just pried open and thrown aside, on the central axis, the pattern of the Big Dipper was also drawn, and on both sides, neatly and neatly, with abstract lines drawn many human figures standing upright, looking like a series of deformed "Wen" characters.
Everyone experienced the drastic change of the arc of light just now, and they all had palpitations. But around the wooden coffin, I searched back and forth for a long time, and I didn't even see a gap the size of a needle's eye, let alone find any words that "those who open it will die".
The big zongzi in the middle did not move at all, sprinkled with a lot of cinnabar, dark like blood, and the surface was not as smooth and wet as at the beginning, but like a large loofah hanging on the rattan trellis, shriveled and blackened, and soaked in this gray-yellow and turbid, exuding a strange fragrance, it looked extremely weird.
What to do? If you can't find the trick of the third opening, it's like a rope tied in a dead knot, and the mystery of this wooden coffin will definitely not be solved.
Could it be that the gods are playing tricks on us? Do you want me to go home with my bare hands and get nothing?
Ito was confused, and when he was annoyed, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he remembered something. He squinted his eagle eyes, stared at the mosquito opposite, and asked coldly:
"Just now, why are you okay?"
Indeed, just now, everyone fell for the strange trick of rainbow charm absorbing high-voltage electricity, and the soul was about to be drained by the ghost, why is there nothing wrong with you kid?
The mosquito was originally shrunk aside, like a nobody, looking at the excitement with cold eyes, and when he was asked this question, he immediately became nervous and stumbled: "What, what?" What's okay? His face was covered with cinnabar powder, and he didn't care to wipe it clean, as if the butcher who killed the pig had been sprayed with blood.
"Hmm...... Come here, get this thing out! Ito pointed at the white glove, shook his chin again, and motioned for Omori to come over and help.
Omori understood, and forced the mosquito with a dagger, grabbed the collar, and dragged it to the coffin.
"Oops......! Pain, pain, pain! Don't talk about it, don't talk about it...... "The poor mosquito was already timid, and now he wants him to do this errand of "holding zongzi with his bare hands", he has already scared his soul away, his legs are weak, and he begged for mercy.
Seeing this, the buffalo on the side immediately stepped forward to grab Omori and shouted with a cold face: "Brother Sen! Mosquitoes have the least guts, he can't do this! ”
"Get out of here!" Omori shook off the buffalo, shook the horizontal flesh on his face, and shook the dagger of Hanguang Sensen, "If you can't do it, you have to do it!" You have to listen to Mr. Ito! ”
Knowing that dissuasion was useless, the buffalo gritted his teeth and clenched the dagger in his hand.
All of this was seen by the cunning Ito. He looked down at his watch, raised his white-gloved hands—there were still a few smites of blood on them—to stop the two of them from chattering, and said slowly, "Hey, everyone, stop arguing!" Just now we all fell for this enchanting illusion, but the mosquito didn't ...... Well, I can't figure out the specific reason for it for a while. But the most important thing about our visit this time is what is in this coffin...... It's half past four, and it's been half an hour since we came in, and in another half an hour, if we don't get out of the cave, the door will close automatically, and then—"
Omori took over the conversation, glared at the buffalo viciously and shouted, "Do you understand!" No matter how hard you grind, you will fold this hole! ”
When the buffalo heard this, he was helpless and speechless, so he had to hang down the dagger, looked at the chicken-like mosquito in Omori's hand, and said in his heart: Good brother! Whether it's the South China Sea or this Dragon Ball Island, we are all good brothers who fight side by side! Now, it's up to you mosquito brothers!
The mosquito also stopped struggling, and through the blurred glass of the goggles, he seemed to see the deep eyes of the buffalo under the blue sea and silver waves.
Yes! Lao Tzu is out today!
He twisted his arms twice in a row, broke free of Omori's iron pincer-like palm, pulled the hem of his shirt again, and straightened his collar, like a hero who fought the battlefield to the point of being alone and generous. Damn, not for anyone! Today for the brothers who are sleeping in the South China Sea! For the buffalo! Grandpa mosquito is fighting with you with a big dumpling!
He took the cinnabar powder bag from the buffalo and the hammer, and sprinkled it all over his chest and arms, as if he had just risen from a pool of blood. I saw the thin mosquito, pursed his lips, stepped forward, held his breath, hugged the black, silky big zongzi, and exerted force on the soles of his feet!
"Grunt", and the big zongzi in the coffin was picked up.
The room was filled with another strange smell.
Hey? - Strange? - This thing looks heavy, but when you hold it, it's fluttering, like a balloon?
Moreover, this is not a person at all, with a round head shell on top and a few long tentacles hanging below...... Could it be that this is a big octopus?
In the extremely frightened eyes of everyone and the shaky flashlight pillar, this big octopus-like strange corpse was taken out of the coffin by mosquitoes and thrown on the coffin bed next to the stone coffin, and then brought out a cloudy slime, which looked very disgusting.
As soon as the strange corpse landed, the mosquito couldn't hold its breath anymore, and with a loud cry, it crawled and cried and shouted to the side.
Ito and Omori didn't care about the mosquito crying dad and calling their mother, and looked inside the coffin. In an instant, I saw that the bottom of the coffin seemed to have been pulled open by several large plugs, and the gray and yellow coffin liquid quickly turned into a state of half ice and half water, and then turned into several whirlpools, snoring and leaking down, revealing a stone letter embedded in the coffin wall.
This stone letter is about a foot long, more than five fingers wide, and is covered in bruises, as if it was carved from a whole piece of jade. There was still a small puddle of grayish coffin liquid left on it, which had condensed into ice.
Take a photo, hey! As Ito expected, the top of this stone letter is also engraved with a circle of exquisite dragons. It's just that the dragons on the front of the stone coffin just now are one after another, end to end, looking like a big copper coin with round edges and square holes; On this stone letter, there are four horizontal rows, each coiled with a square word, which looks like four copper coins lined up. Among the dragons, there are also four ancient seals carved in the shadows, which seem to be-
The Founder is resurrected.
Wait a minute!
Isn't it "the one who opens is dead"? Why is there another "resurrection of the opener"?
Omori They couldn't understand the ancient seal, and they stared at each other with big eyes; Only Ito knew, but his face was already full of excitement! The Founder is resurrected, the dead are resurrected! It's here! The legendary forbidden place of ancient spirits is this stone chamber. Moreover, through the stone steps and corridors that we had just swirled, we had gone from top to bottom and from bottom to top, and we should now be in the doorless stone hall. This stone letter must be hiding what we are looking for!
Regardless of the surprise on other people's faces, he just laughed, leaned forward, stretched out his white-gloved hand, and grabbed Shi Han and wanted to pull it out.
Cut~! This secret treasure of the coffin, how can you be a little devil who can simply move it?
A biting cold current, running down the fingertips to the arm, pierced the temples with a faint pain! Ito screamed and retracted his hand sharply, but it was also a step too late! I saw that the white gloves had fallen off, frozen on the stone letter, and turned into crystal, hard and hard! Looking at the fingers withdrawn, they were already red from the cold, numb, and unconscious.
Ito was shocked, covering his stiff fingers with his other hand, his lips trembling, and he screamed bitterly.
Everyone else was also amazed, not to talk about those strange things, this ice-like stone letter, dripping into ice, how can it be taken out safe and sound?
Everyone unanimously turned their attention to the mosquito again......
The mosquito is seen as a stirring spirit - big brothers, okay, let's not fall into this fight, right? First, a dried corpse, hugging his thighs and begging for love; Then my eyes bleed, and I stabbed the antidote needle in my neck; I saw a magic blockbuster in the back, the hanging coffin was weightless, dripping and turning; Later, he also asked me to hold zongzi and play kissing...... It has been said that the one who opens will die, and the one who opens will die, but you just don't listen to persuasion! My brother has died several times, you know? What's the matter, still let me pull out the tiger's teeth with my bare hands? Didn't you see how powerful this stone letter is? Licking your tongue on an iron rod in winter, have you ever tried that thing? These ten fingers of mine were also given by my mother, and they are all fleshy...... Huh? Don't rub my head, boy!
He hadn't vomited up the bitter water in his stomach yet, he had already been dragged up by Omori, thrown to the coffin, and kicked the stone coffin with a foot knock, don't say anything, it means that you kid will watch it, and now rely on your ability to explode, bravely and righteously, and complete this great historical mission!
Seeing this, Ito also stepped forward with a dark smile, lowered his head and patted the mosquito's thin shoulder: "Well, it's up to you!" ”
History is often like this, those who have made meritorious contributions and received orders in danger are little-known people like mosquitoes, and it is these people who often sacrifice. Moreover, the world is hot and cold, and people are intimate, and it is often in this time of tribulation that they can be undisguised and vividly displayed.
Just when the mosquito was dragged to the coffin by Omori's scalp, the buffalo on the side had already lifted the dagger and stepped forward quickly-
All the officials and magistrates feel that his knife is bound to stab a few bowl-sized blood holes in Dasen?
Fei Ye, Fei Ye - I saw the buffalo step forward quickly, lifted the big octopus-like strange corpse thrown aside, squeaked, cut off a few pieces of black skin with a dagger, grabbed it and handed it to the mosquito, and said solemnly: "Brother! Brother sees this strange thing staying inside, and the coffin of water is fine. You just fished it out and the water changed. Brother is useless, without your blessing...... Now, we can only hope that this thing will be useful! ”
The mosquitoes are almost crying! What do you call brothers! What is a friend of life and death! Damn, Omori, you dog *mother*raised, Ito, you old ghost! Wait and see, my little mosquito has passed this hell gate today, and I won't spare you inhuman guys!
With tears in his eyes, he cautiously leaned forward, first put the two pieces of "octopus skin" on the stone letter, and then pulled them out with both hands.
Not to mention that this octopus monster corpse looks disgusting, it really saved the ten fingers of the mosquito! The bruised cold ice stone letter was very obediently pulled out, and even the ice crystals that had just condensed on the surface had melted into a pool of gray-yellow liquid, dripping on the white marble coffin bed.
Next, the burden of history continues to be borne on the thin shoulders of mosquitoes. Under the gaze of Ito and others, he wrapped his hands in "octopus skin" again, tried to suppress the fear in his heart, and inserted the four Shura hairpins from right to left, and inserted them into the mouths of the four dragons on the stone cover in turn.
I only heard a "click", Shi Hangai jumped slightly, opened on the side, like dry ice inside, a burst of smoke dissipated, and three copper coin-sized, emerald beads lay side by side.
Three? …… Ito saw the three crystal clear beads that shone with a mysterious light, and he didn't know how to describe his confusion for a moment—the seamless coffin that his grandfather mentioned when he was dying contained a secret Qiankun bead. That's right! He did say one! How could it be...... Is it three?
But it's not early, it's too late to think about it, and now that the divine bead has arrived, it's important to get out quickly! Ito thought about it for a while, hurriedly let the mosquito wrap his hands in "octopus skin", then re-covered the stone letter, pulled out the Shura hairpin, hid it in his bag, and beckoned everyone to clean up the guys, and hurriedly turned out the door.
Only this stone chamber remains, and the ancient coffins are open everywhere, and they are all in disarray!
……
At the entrance of the stone hall cave, the sun has been slanted to the west.
Yun Nai was already like an ant on a hot pot, fidgeting. Uncle and they have been in for more than half an hour, and just now I saw a person dressed in a scenic spot walking along the trail at the bottom of the mountain, as if he was going up the mountain, and was prevaricated by a subordinate. I can't use the mantra now, what if I find out?
There's no going to be any trouble in this cave, right?
Just thinking wildly, I saw a flashlight at the entrance of the cave, and a group of people were embarrassed, jumping out like rabbits, all of them were gray and dirty, covered with blood, like a group of hard-working miners who had escaped from a hellish mine.
Ito gasped, and didn't care about taking Yunnai, and repeatedly ordered the goatee to still insert the Shura hairpin, closed the door of the stone cave, hastily changed his clothes, wiped his sweat, and led everyone to flee for their lives, and walked out of the gate of the general's pier quickly.
The time has passed four o'clock, and there is a lewd janitor leaning at the entrance of the scenic spot, with a string of silver dangling keys in his hand, waiting for the sudden construction team to leave the park and close the door early. He saw Ito and the others rushing out with large bags and small bags of fish and leaving in a hurry, coughed violently, spit a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, and turned his face like Ah Q, with a complacent and relieved look, and shouted at the porter with a bright voice:
"Let's go~~ You can get off work~!"
……
The remnant sun is like blood, reflected on the mottled stone tablet, dyeing the world red.
Shi Hu's eyes widened angrily, Shi Yang lay quietly with his eyebrows lowered, and Shi Ma stood solemnly...... The two tall Shi Weng Zhong, the civil official holding the wat and the military attache holding the sword, were full of devastation.
A cold wind hit, rolling up the waves-like bamboo forests on the hillside, and emitting bursts of ghost crying wolf howls and extremely sad whining!
