Chapter 100: The Strange Bronze Coffin
The sun was gradually rising, but it was still freezing cold on the edge of this yin land.
The pit had been dug four meters deep, and the long chain of locked souls was exposed, occasionally swept by by the light, flickering with a faint glow.
"It's a day." After seeing that a big man had already taken out the tenth rune paper, Wu Daoran immediately stopped, and then hurriedly brought people up.
As soon as he came up, Wu Daoran saw Cao Yue standing beside Lin Rui, watching him draw talismans concentratingly.
This time, it was not so easy to draw Fu Lin Rui, and he also put some blood in the cinnabar ink.
The red lines are in a weird position, and as soon as Wu Daoran saw it, he felt that his eyes were dark, and the lines seemed to be a big mouth, with an ancient voice. It was as if someone had beaten a great drum in his ears, and the desolate sound of the drum drove away evil spirits over the endless wilderness.
"Smack!"
When the last stroke was finished, Lin Rui's fingertips let out a pop.
Cao Yue saw a dark red flash on Lin Rui's face, so he asked worriedly, "Lin Rui, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine." The feeling of weakness had disappeared from Lin Rui's body, as if it had never come.
After drawing three talismans in a row, Lin Rui finally couldn't support it anymore, he sat on the ground, drank the water handed by Cao Yue, and said with a sigh: "This talisman can protect our souls, and when we include me, three people will go down and strive to uncover the coffin." ”
Cao Yue looked at Lin Rui's pale face worriedly, and said, "The fast food will be delivered immediately, eat it and then go down." ”
"Okay." Lin Rui is not reckless.
Wu Daoran took a talisman and studied it for a long time, but in the end he still didn't understand, so he leaned over and asked, "Master Lin, does this talisman have a name?" ”
"Absolutely." Lin Rui leaned against the trunk of the tree and stretched his body: "Soul talisman." ”
"Soul talisman?"
Wu Daoran raised the rune paper with a sigh and looked at it carefully through the light.
Lunch was delivered by a hand, a boxed lunch of 20 yuan, and the content looked pretty good.
After a half-hour rest after the meal, after a morning of sun exposure, the cold feeling also subsided a little.
However, when Lin Rui took Wu Daoran and Long Fan down to the bottom of the pit, the three of them were all shivering, and then a warm current immediately came from their chests, offsetting the cold.
Digging is a chore for others, but Lin Rui is one of the veterans. His movements were light and rhythmic, and as soon as he dug and warped, the dirt was flipped to the side, and Wu Daoran and Long Fan shoveled it into the basket with shovels.
"Bang dang!"
More than an hour later, Lin Rui went down with a hoe, and felt that he had dug up something stiff, and the hoe bounced back and made a muffled sound.
The three of them immediately stood up straight, looking at each other, all a little worried.
"What kind of coffin is this, it's so hard!"
Generally, wooden coffins that have been in the ground for a long time will slowly decay, but the sound of Lin Rui's hoe colliding just now is not like digging a wooden coffin.
"Dig it out and see."
As soon as Wu Daoran gritted his teeth, he squatted down and used his hands to dig open the soil on the upper layer.
"Bronze coffin!"
Lin Rui was startled, reached out to brush the soil off the coffin, and then touched the lines.
"Quick, cut it all out."
The three of them worked together, and quickly scraped the copper coffin clean, and then saw the relief of the dragon-shaped human face on it.
"It's a candle dragon!"
Wu Daoran said with a heavy heart.
Lin Rui remembered the record of the ancient divine beasts, and muttered: "As soon as the candle dragon closes its eyes, the world is dark; As soon as the candle dragon blows, the world is cold. ”
Long Fan lay on the top of the bronze coffin and looked at it carefully, and from time to time he used a brush to clean the soil in the middle of the lines, and said sullenly: "This candle dragon has closed its eyes, and its mouth is open, making a blow." ”
Wu Daoran's eyebrows raised, and he said in surprise: "It's really a big deal!" ”
"More than that!"
Lin Rui took a shovel to dig open the soil below, Long Fan hurriedly came to help when he saw this, and the two of them hollowed out half of the side of the coffin after a while, and after cleaning it, a row of words appeared.
Those words are old and mottled with patina, but they are generally recognizable.
"Pray that you will always fall into the nine shadows and not enter reincarnation."
"It's poisonous!" Long Fan shuddered and took a few steps back.
"Keep digging."
……
Before three o'clock in the afternoon, the entire copper coffin was finally completely exposed, and the soul chain wrapped around the copper coffin also appeared in front of the world for the first time.
"Nine Paths." Wu Daoran went to count it, and found that the soul chain was wrapped around the copper coffin as many as nine ways.
"Ready to open!" Lin Rui commanded in a deep voice.
The copper coffin was heavy, so the three of them stood at one end, and Lin Rui began to push forward as soon as he said "start".
"It's so heavy!" Long Fan blushed, gritted his teeth and carried it on his shoulder.
"Gah!"
After a piercing sound, Wu Daoran said excitedly: "It's moving, it's moving." ”
"Push harder." Lin Rui simply put his feet against the back wall, exerted force with both hands, and slowly pushed the copper coffin forward.
"There's a gap!" Long Fan shouted in front.
Just as the three of them were happy, a stream of yin qi came out of the coffin, instantly paralyzing their hands.
"Bah...... Yikes! Oh......"
As if the voice from the wilderness echoed in the minds of the three of them, a vast forest appeared in front of Lin Rui's eyes.
"Knock knock!"
A majestic rhinoceros galloped out of the forest, and the footsteps were deafening. But immediately there was a louder movement, and with the sound of dull footsteps, a nine-headed yaksha chased after him waving a steel fork.
"Whew!"
The steel fork turned into a meteor and sank into the rhinoceros's back.
"Who are you? Dare to peep into my Nine Netherworlds! As soon as Yaksha waved his hand, the steel fork flew back, with blood, and pointed directly at Lin Rui.
Lin Rui didn't answer, but looked at this qiē indifferently, his heart was like water, and he didn't move at all.
Seeing that Lin Rui ignored him, Yaksha rushed forward in a rage, stretched out his hand and prepared to slap him.
Lin Rui watched the hand get closer and closer, but he became more and more calm, and when the hand was about to touch his face, he bit the tip of his tongue and shouted, "Break!" ”
In an instant, the Yaksha vanished, the forest vanished, and even the rhinoceros carcass by the stream turned to smoke.
Lin Rui opened his eyes, and there was a copper coffin in front of him, how could there be any yaksha!
"Illusion!"
Wu Daoran and Long Fan stood still at this time, and the expressions on their faces were extremely frightened.
"Mirror flowers, dream bubbles, wake up!"
This loud shout woke up the two of them in an instant, and they looked at Lin Rui in a daze, and it took a long time to wake up.
"What a hallucination! I almost got lost. Wu Daoran wiped his cold sweat and sat on the ground with his buttocks.
Long Fan is a little better, but he is also a little sluggish.
"Huh!"
Wu Daoran, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly sighed lightly, then touched the edge of the coffin lid, and said, "No wonder we worked so hard just now, it turned out to be watered later." ”
Lin Rui looked down, and at the junction of the coffin lid and the lower part, there was indeed a trace that seemed to have been welded.
"Buried alive for sure!" Lin Rui said categorically.
Wu Daoran nodded and said: "It only makes sense to be buried alive, and it's hard to know that the things inside are preserved the same as when they were first buried." ”
