Chapter 237: Strange Thoughts
But this town tomb beast is also really evil. ”
"It's the first time I've seen the tomb beast carved above his head. ”
Jin An stuck the gap in the cave wall with a penny, and the raft was still in the deep river water without any reflection, and the three people on the raft looked curiously at the tomb beast above their heads.
The town tomb beast is face down.
He has a treacherous human face.
In the deep cavern, which was empty and empty, extremely quiet, and so quiet that there was only the sound of water, the atmosphere suddenly became strange and oppressive.
The tomb beast in this town is face down, as if the craftsmen who built the tomb knew that someone would enter through a thousand caves, so they carved it face down on the top of their heads, intending to scare off tomb robbers.
"Little brother, when you went to the yin for your younger brother and sister in Changxian County and cut off the old body of the coffin temple, you also met the town tomb beast, I remember you mentioned it, the town tomb beast you encountered that time was 魍 (wǎng) elephant town tomb beast......"
The old Taoist priest held a torch in his hand, looked at the blue-faced fanged tomb beast hanging above his head, and said: "Last time, the little brother met the tomb beast of the dragon elephant town, and this time the little brother met the tomb beast of the human face beast... Little brother, how do I think that when I follow you around the country, I can always encounter all kinds of strange things that others may not be able to encounter in their lifetime. ”
"It's like saying that this person is a tomb beast in the town, and no one will use it in the general mausoleum, because the yin qi is too big, the evil qi is too big, this thing specializes in eating people, the living and the dead are not refused, and it is not as gentle as the tomb beast in the town of dragons, and it is easy to eat the tomb owner. ”
There is a good difference between the Elephant Town Tomb Beast and the Human Town Tomb Beast.
The former is usually the face of the beast, and it is also the most common, which can ward off evil spirits, deter strange things, and prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants from encroaching on the tomb.
The latter is an absurd and treacherous human face, which is specially used to prevent tomb robbers from destroying ancient tombs, and it is good to eat people.
Dead people, living people, it eats all.
Therefore, the evil nature is greater.
Although the Elephant Town Tomb Beast is also used to prevent tomb robbers, it only drives people away and kills people, and does not brutally eat people.
The old Taoist priest continued to ponder and said: "Lao Dao, I have also met a few experts who play antiques before, because I received the tomb robbers' tomb burial goods, something strange happened to my body, and then I found Lao Dao to help exorcise evil spirits, so Lao Dao, I also have some understanding of this person and the tomb beast in the town. ”
"Those antique connoisseurs said that if the tomb beast of Renqi Town is used in the mausoleum, it is generally a large tomb, not an ordinary tomb, but a kind of tomb comparable to the tomb of an emperor, and the people buried in it are not generals, princes of one side, or members of the royal family, or the lord of a small country, because only this kind of person's life is hard enough to suppress such a wicked thing as the tomb beast of Renqi Town. ”
The old Taoist priest held a torch in his hand and looked at the tomb beast above his head, and continued to say: "Old Dao, I also heard that as long as the tomb of the tomb beast of Renqi Town is used, in addition to worrying that the tomb beast of Renqi Town will attack the owner of the tomb, a series of ominous strange things will happen. ”
"As for the ominous and strange thing, those antique connoisseurs just play antiques, and the specific details are not known. It is estimated that only those tomb robbers who go to the grave to dig up the corpse all year round can know the reason. ”
"It is also because of these reasons that there are not many ancient tombs and large tombs that can be used in the tomb beasts of Renqi Town, and the tomb beasts of Renqi Town have always been rare. ”
Jin An saw that the old Taoist priest was still leaning his head forward, and kept carefully looking at the tomb beast of Renqi Town, and he was speechless for a while.
Old way, you are not afraid that this person is alive in the tomb beast of the town.
You're so close.
Isn't that tantamount to giving away someone's head!
Shouted at the tomb beast carved above his head: Come and bite me, you come and bite me......
As a result, the sword sharpening has become more emboldened to touch the tomb beast above his head.
Jin An: "......"
One is bigger than the other.
None of the two people in the Five Visceral Taoist Temple made him worry.
"Master, this town tomb beast is carved from the rock of the mountain, and it is a dead thing in stone. Sharpening the sword said.
Jin An glanced at Jin An in surprise.
I don't know if it's because the atmosphere of the ancient tomb stimulated the thief who sharpened the sword, so that the thief sharpened the sword and found the familiarity of the cemetery, and the conversation was obviously more.
This is the first time that the sword has taken the initiative to speak.
But this is a good thing, maybe the more cemetery scenes I see, the more the cerebral cortex of the sword is stimulated, and I may be able to regain my memory or something.
The three of them continued to look at the tomb beast above their heads for a while, and even Jin An took the initiative to reach out and touch it.
This thing is a dead thing.
Just a hard stone.
Because it is soaked in water all the year round, the surface is covered with moss, and it feels moist and slippery, and the originally smooth surface has been soaked in river water to some potholes, and the color is old.
Seeing that this person was a tomb beast with a blue face and fangs, a strange and terrifying face, and no other abnormal findings, the three of them continued to walk forward on a raft.
"It's a pity that Guard Li didn't come with us this time. ”
Only the empty, dark, and quiet cave waterways of the three people on the raft, the old Taoist priest suddenly smacked his mouth and said with emotion.
Jin An was happy when he heard this.
"Old Dao, you're fine, why did you suddenly mention Escort Li. ”
This thousand corpse cave is too big, and the old Taoist priest is too bored, and he began to dance and say: "Little brother, you forgot, Li Guardian is bent on hitting evil spirits, the more evil things are, the more energetic Li Guard, such a scarce number of things as the tomb beast in Renqi Town, let us run into it, if Li Guardian is also here, I have a hunch that Li Guardian will definitely dig a scrap stone with a knife and bring it back." ”
"Among those of us, Li Huwei is the most interested in these things that the gods are talking about, and the more evil he is, the more interested he is. ”
As the old Taoist priest spoke, even he couldn't help laughing, thinking that Li Huwei was bent on hitting evil spirits in the past, and begged to go to Headless Village to be his headless corpse king, the old Taoist priest wanted to laugh happily.
"Escort Li came to look for us several times in a row, but he didn't happen to run into us, this time Escort Li didn't follow us down to the Thousand Corpses Cave of Yinyi River, and didn't see so many strange things we had done along the way, I actually began to feel a little sorry for Escort Li......"
Belch.
After listening to the words of the old Taoist, Jin An began to subconsciously make up the scene where Li Huwei was also here.
Don't really say it.
Sure enough, there is a sense of picture.
Guarding Li, who has a bigger nerve than the old Taoist priest and sharpening the sword, really wants to go down to the Thousand Corpse Cave with them, and when he encountered the tomb beast of Renzi Town just now, it is estimated that Guard Li will really use a knife to dig out the teeth or eyeballs of the tomb beast of Renzi Town with souvenirs.
I have to hold it even when I sleep.
begged the tomb beast to take the initiative to find him.
Jin An couldn't help but laugh.
......
Along the way, the thief sharpened the sword and continued to exert his special skills.
Drink river water at every fork in the road.
"Sharpen the sword, if you are full of water, you speak, we can stop and rest for a while. Jin An was really worried that he wouldn't take the initiative to tell Cutting Sword, Cutting Sword, an honest wooden thief, would keep drinking water.
Along the way, even the old Taoist priest was full of praise for sharpening the sword.
Such a cow drink along the way.
Cowhide.
Even Mrs. Niu had to retreat when she saw the sword sharpened.
In the deep, pitch-black cavern, apart from the sound of the river flowing, there was only the sound of the raft slowly advancing and the whispering of the three people, and the torches on the raft were only illuminated.
It's as if this dark cave really has no end.
Suddenly. Bean Book City
Poof!
In the empty, unseen silence and darkness, the sound of falling water was heard again, this time from the front.
"Looks like it's coming from above your head this time!"
On the raft, the old Taoist priest hurriedly raised the torch and went to shine above his head.
Jin An and Sharpening Sword also looked up at the top of their heads, and their body muscles tensed.
A treacherous human face with a blue face and fangs hangs on the roof of the cave, absurd and gloomy, this time it is still a personal tomb beast.
"What's strange, how many tomb beasts are there in this waterway?"
The old Taoist priest planned to reach out to touch the tomb beast above his head this time, but was stopped by Jin An in time.
"Old way, don't move yet. ”
Jin An stuck a penny in the crack of the cave wall, and after stopping the raft, he personally walked under the tomb beast above his head and looked at the tomb beast above his head.
"Little brother, I've checked it, the moss on the surface of this person's tomb beast is still intact, and there is no trace of damage, it's not the same person we met before. ”
The old Taoist priest said with a torch in his hand.
Next, Jin An continued to prop up, and the raft moved forward in the dark cave again.
Outcome.
Poof!
Again, there was the sound of something falling into the water, again from the roof of the cave above the trio's heads.
This time, after the raft still floated out of the foot, I saw the familiar statue of the tomb beast of the town of Qizhen again overhead, still facing down with green fangs, treacherous and gloomy, like a demon hiding on top of the gloomy head, looking gloomily at all the living people who tried to enter the tomb.
As the saying goes, there are no more than three.
This time, there was no need to say more to each other, and the three of them all sensed that these people carved on the top of the cave above their heads were the tomb beasts, and something was wrong.
"Could it be a ghost hitting the wall?"
"We've been going around in circles, can't we?"
But the old Taoist's speculation does not hold water.
Because Jin An was holding a torch in his hand, this time he carefully looked at every detail of the human-face-down Renqi Town Tomb Beast on his head, and some of the traces they had left on the Renqi Town Tomb Beast before were not found on the Renqi Town Tomb Beast in front of him.
Jin An pondered for a moment, Qiang!
He drew his sword out of its sheath, and with a flash of light, it slashed directly into the head of the tomb beast.
The razor-sharp tiger knife easily sank into the statue's head, and this tomb beast was indeed a stone statue.
There are no anomalies.
Jin An faced the tomb beast on his head, and slashed several times in succession, but he didn't find anything abnormal.
However, although Jin An slashed, he did not violently destroy the people above his head and the tomb beast of Zhenzhen.
Because the raft is still under the tomb beasts of the human town.
Jin An was worried that if he moved too much, if he fell a large number of rocks, smashed through the raft or overturned the raft, they would have to swim all the way through the water.
And fighting underwater is precisely the weakness of human beings.
If they encounter something below the surface, they can easily fall into a passive danger.
"Old Taoist, sharpen the sword, do you see anything wrong?"
Jin An asked the two, but naturally there was no result.
So after Jin An pondered for a while, the three of them planned to continue on the road first, and the soldiers would come to block the water and cover the earth, but he still didn't believe it, if there was really something unclean staring at them, the three of them couldn't deal with it.
And he also has the Five Thunder Slashing Evil Talisman and the Six Ding Six Armor Talismans on his body.
Don't be afraid of these evils.
Poof!
In the empty pitch black place, the sound of falling water was heard again.
"Little brother, this time it's not the sound of falling water from the front, this time it's from behind us!"
"Something is coming!"
The old Taoist priest turned around fiercely and looked behind him, and said urgently.
But the cave was too dark to shine far with the torches in his hand, which were limited in light.
Without the old Taoist priest's reminder, Jin An had already noticed that something was wrong with the sound of falling water, he stopped the raft and looked behind him with a torch in his hand, but he didn't find anything, the torch couldn't even shine a foot away, and it was swallowed up by the endless darkness.
The three of them held their breath and listened to the movement in the darkness behind them.
Dead.
Dead.
It's too dead and silent.
The atmosphere in the cave was oppressive, and the three of them didn't hear anything.
Jin An took a torch to shine on the water, and the river in the cave of a thousand corpses was so dark that he couldn't see anything.
Jin An lay on the edge of the raft and pressed his face against the water to see what was underneath.
But nothing could be seen except for the faint distorted light of the torches reflected on the water.
At this time, the cave was still terrifyingly silent.
However.
It's just that this calmness makes the muscles of the whole body tense more.
At this moment, they are on the raft on the water, they don't land in front and back, they can't go ashore and turn passive into active, and they are in a dilemma for a while, they can't keep doing this, right?
The situation of the three of them has become more passive.
"It's not okay to keep doing this, we have to go out and get ashore as soon as possible, I have a hunch that if we keep going dry like this, in the end, even if there is really nothing to follow, sooner or later we will be exhausted by suspicions, and it will be even more difficult to get out. ”
Jin An frowned, and then handed the penny in his hand to the old Taoist: "Old Dao, you come to support the penny, this time I will stand in the middle of the front and back, and now we have no way to retreat, so we can only continue to move forward." ”
"Alright, little brother. ”
The old Taoist priest didn't have much else, and after inserting the torch in his hand into the raft, he began to take the initiative to take charge of the helm.
As the raft continued to move slowly in the cave, Jin An raised his hands and focused his whole body, paying attention to any slight movement around him.
This time, after the raft went far away, sure enough, on the top of the cave overhead, I saw the human tomb beast with a gloomy face again.
Just like the previous three times, as long as you hear the sound of something falling into the water, as long as you move a long distance, you will definitely find a human tomb beast on the top of the cave overhead.
When he saw the tomb beast in the town of Manzi, Jin An raised the torch above his head to look at it, as a result, several knife wounds appeared on the gloomy face of the tomb beast.
This human tomb beast is the same human tomb beast they had encountered before.
"Sure enough, it's a ghost hitting the wall!"
But Jin An's voice hasn't finished yet, whew!
In the cave that had been calm, three torches were extinguished at the same time, as if something had blown out the torches from the top of their heads, and boom!
The raft sank violently, and something came on board in the darkness!
