Chapter 171: Look up and see the coffin

The coffin with the two ropes broken was still hanging in the air and swaying back and forth, and there was nothing strange in the coffin except for the signs of decay.

Xiao Baitang said: "Look carefully, there is a humanoid phantom at the bottom of the coffin. ”

I looked at the coffin with a flashlight for a while, only to find that there was indeed a dark red mark on the bottom of the coffin, just now I just took it for rotten wood, and now I see, it should be the traces left by the oil on the corpse seeping into the coffin.

I turned my head and asked, "What about the body in the coffin?" ”

"Nope." Xiao Baitang shook his head and said, "I didn't see the body when I hid in the coffin, so I thought it was strange." ”

According to common sense, even if the body has been decomposed for a long time, some bones should be left behind. If the body in this coffin has decayed into red clay after thousands of years, then the coffin should also decay with it. Now the shape of the coffin is still intact, but the whereabouts of the body are unknown, which can only show that the body disappeared soon after entering the coffin.

When I turned my head to look at the lid, I saw a hole the size of a fist in the lid. Although the coffin was badly decorated, the edges of the hole were clearly marked by insect bites. At the beginning, something should have gotten into the coffin and eaten the corpse, and then broke out of the coffin and crawled somewhere else.

I hesitated for a moment before I stood up, walked forward more than 100 meters with a flashlight, and walked to the edge of the three-way intersection, only to see another coffin hanging in the air.

How could a coffin hang in the air?

The first thought in my head was Feng Shui's "look up and see the coffin". It was a kind of feng shui magic that used coffins to force the luck of the living, and of course they used not real coffins, but coffin-like ritual vessels, or simply coffin nails.

Legend has it that nailing coffin nails on the beams of the house can make a family die one after another, in fact, it is also a kind of "looking up to see the coffin".

However, "looking up and seeing the coffin" can only be used to suppress the Yang Mansion, and there is not even a person in the secret realm of the Shenzhai Village, who is it used to suppress?

I looked up at it for a long time before I shook my sore neck. At that moment, out of the corner of my eye, I swept to the corpse that knelt on the ground and held the lamp tray in both hands.

A flash of inspiration flashed through my mind. If the lamp plate is removed, isn't the warlock kneeling on the ground with his hands in a position of holding his hands to the sky, and the position where his palms are pointing is just under the coffin?

According to ancient etiquette, this posture was a great gift for the ancestors to sacrifice to the gods, when the ancestors held the blood and food with both hands to pray for the blessing of the gods, if the sacrifice was too heavy to be lifted over the top alone, then only the sorcerer who presided over the sacrifice was in the right position, and the others were holding the blood food on the left and right.

The corpse was on the right side of the coffin, and there was an empty place for kneeling across from him. After walking a few steps, I found that there were four holes carved out of the rock walls on the left and right sides of the coffin. The position of the lamp plate on the cavern is also denser than the spacing between the two torches in the cave, which is obviously a deliberate position.

Judging from the direction of the flat ends of the hands, if you ignore the distance between him and the coffin, the corpse's hands are exactly holding the coffin.

I walked briskly under a lamp tray, reached out and grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and rubbed it back and forth, and sure enough, there were bone residues in the soil.

In the past, there were supposed to be living people who knelt here, and they all knelt down in the tunnels of the secret realm like the warlock, and after a few years, their bodies turned to dirt, and the vessels they held the sacrifice were left in the cave.

The discs half-embedded in the wall were certainly not oil lamp plates, but sacrificial vessels. It's just that in order to hide people's eyes, after an unknown number of years, some people re-manipulated the utensils to make it look more like an oil lamp for lighting.

Gu Piaoran deliberately put the corpse in the position of the lampholder, could it be that he wanted to give some kind of hint to the later people?

He knew I'd follow up?

No, unless Gu Piaoran is also a half-life person, he shouldn't be able to count who is following the secret realm. The person he wants to prompt, it's not me!

But on what basis did he conclude that the Great Witch of Winter, who was guarding outside, would let in the people he was waiting for?

When I was puzzled, Xiao Baitang whispered, "Do you see anything?" What if those people rush back? ”

Little White Sugar reminded me.

No matter how many doubts I have, I can't stand still, let alone bet that Sun Xiaomei will definitely be able to find a way.

With the rapid turn of my head, I turned on my flashlight and shone it on the roof of the cave above the coffin, where there was a hole the size of a well.

"Little white sugar, you wait for me for a while." I gave him a command, and immediately jumped forward a few steps, grabbed the coffin hanging in the air, climbed along the rope to the edge of the hollow, and slowly put my head into the hollow.

As soon as I showed my head, a cold light flashed in the corner of my eye, and I was scared out of a cold sweat at that time, and quickly squatted on the coffin with my head down. I waited for a long time and didn't hear the sound of the wind that should have appeared, so I slowly raised my head with a flashlight and looked at the place where the cold light was flashing.

The first thing I saw was a corpse sitting cross-legged near the entrance of the cave, and the cold light was the long knife he had grasped in his hand. When I looked closer, I realized that the body was not sitting cross-legged, but had lost legs.

His sternum was also visibly broken, and it looked as if something the size of a fist had pierced through his chest before he was killed instantly. He should have wanted to swing a knife to kill something that came up from the entrance of the cave, but before he could do anything, he was pierced through the chest by the other party and died here.

When I looked around again, I realized that from the hole where I was now standing, there was a large space in the shape of a hanging house, and the roof of the cave was divided into two floors, one on the other, and the middle was almost high enough for a man to crawl on all fours.

As soon as I climbed up the edge of the hole with both hands, I felt a biting chill. The temperature in this space was more than a star and a half lower than it was below, so it was no wonder that the corpse was so intact.

Before I could look any further, I heard a rush of footsteps coming from nearby. Sun Xiaomei: Are they back?

I quickly turned around, hooked the edge of the hole with my legs, leaned out of the hole with my upper body down, and beckoned to Xiao Baitang: "Come up!" ”

Little White Sugar ran a few steps, jumped up and grabbed the coffin, stepped on the coffin and grabbed my hands and climbed into the hollow. As soon as the two of us got on our stomachs, we saw Sun Xiaomei and them walking back with Dongbao in their arms.

Sun Xiaomei said coldly: "Put Dongbao in it!" ”

Although I didn't see how many people were missing from Sun Xiaomei's team, I saw that some people were injured, and the faces of several of them looked extremely ugly, but their attitude towards Gu Piaoran seemed a little awe-inspiring.

It seems that they must have gone through a hard battle just now, and Gu Piaoran also skillfully used ventriloquism to make Sun Xiaomei and them worship themselves as gods.

When a few Hanging Mirror Warlocks rushed over, they couldn't help but exclaim, "That girl's body is gone!" ”

Xie Jingwen scolded angrily: "What are you shouting? Didn't the cave god already say just now, he took the girl's body, what's so strange about that? ”

Gu Piaoran really calculated that Xiao Baitang would "come back from the dead", and even thought about how to explain the reason why she disappeared.

"Take the contents of Dong Bao's mouth down." Gu Piaoran said in a deep voice, "Dong Bao, sacrificing you is also a last resort, if you have anything else to say!" If there is any wish missing, I can also help one or two. ”

Dong Bao looked at Xie Jingwen and said sadly: "Xie Lang, I'm leaving, you have to take care." Although I couldn't be a Han and a husband and wife with you, we ...... after all Xie Lang, hug me! ”

Xie Jingwen walked up and hugged Dong Bao: "Go ahead, I'll be here soon!" When I send my master out of the secret realm, I will accompany you. ”

Dongbao slowly raised his head and kissed Jingwen's lips. Just when the four lips of the two people were gently pressed together, Xie Jingwen suddenly pushed Dong Bao aside, and retreated a few meters by himself: "Take her!" ”

The long knives in the hands of several Hanging Mirror Warlocks were unsheathed at the same time, and pressed against Dong Bao's neck unbiasedly: "Don't move! ”

Before Dong Bao could speak, she vomited out a mouthful of blood, and I clearly saw that the blood she spit out was carrying a wriggling Gu worm.

Xie Jingwen said coldly: "It turns out that you haven't had time to give me a life and death Gu, which has caused me to worry for a long time in vain." ”

Dong Bao suddenly looked up at Xie Jingwen and screamed in disbelief: "Xie Lang! ”

"Don't call me Xie Lang, I listen disgusting!" Xie Jingwen revealed his true form for a while, "Do you think I really like a woman like you who deals with insects?" Stop dreaming! You're a worm in my eyes, too. ”

"If I didn't want to enter Miaojiang, I wouldn't even bother to look at you. Which woman I've slept with isn't prettier than you? If it weren't for the fact that you would be Gu, would I have talked to you about me? ”

Although Dongbao is not one in a million and a beautiful woman, she is also born beautiful. Xie Jingwen deliberately belittled Dong Bao, just to advertise to others that he had actually made a "sacrifice".

Dongbao screamed, "You just said ......"

Xie Jingwen said with a hideous face: "Just now? I was lying to you to death just now! If you don't tie your hands, how much will it cost us to take you down? Now, if you are willing to lie down in the coffin yourself, we will all save trouble. ”

"And you'd better stop talking to me about those two words. If I weren't afraid that you would have put a life and death Gu on me, who would tell you those love words that even I feel disgusting! I'm telling you, I lied to you from the beginning, do you understand? ”

"You ......" Dong Bao only said one word, and blood spurted out of his mouth.
