Chapter 54 The Nine Days of Tomb Exploration

Climb the cliff, surrounded by a sea of clouds rolling, as if entering a fairyland, a narrow valley bottom looms, looking up at the top of the cliff can faintly see a piece of strange stones standing on the top of the mountain, crumbling.

Although it is in the middle of the wall, you will feel that no matter how majestic the mountain is, no matter how steep the wall is, people can conquer it, and at this time, the Hongmeng ditch is silently paying tribute to you.

Nowadays, people often sigh that the mountain is unclimbable, but at this time, the mountain is quietly revealed to you, and there are two people struggling to climb from half of its wall.

However, this is not suitable for enjoying the scenery and expressing feelings, because there are nine crystal coffins hanging above the head, and I don't know what lies inside?

The unknown is often the greatest fear.

Li Ji's face was pale, and every time he took a step, he was extremely cautious, and it was as if there were nine swords hanging upside down on his head, crumbling, and the sword was terrifying.

He looked at the nine strange hanging coffins and gritted his teeth. "There is no way, if you want to climb up, you must pass through these nine hanging coffins, the so-called 'life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky'. If you encounter the wandering corpse, the corpse, the bones and other evil things, it will be miserable, in this cliff, climbing is an extremely difficult thing, not to mention dealing with the horror of the big zongzi, now even a mouse runs out, can scare us to the bottom, fall to pieces. ”

Zhou Babao retreated: "Or, let's go back the same way?"

"It's easy to say, it's hard to climb up, and it's even more difficult to go down! Now the only way out is to climb up and see, everything is left to fate! As long as we don't touch the contents of the coffin, just borrow a way, I don't think the coffin owner will be to blame!"

Li Ji lowered his head and glanced at Zhou Babao, because he had learned a few times before, and now he was reminding him not to tamper with these coffins.

Zhou Babao said: "Brother Ji, don't worry, Bao Ye will definitely not move anything this time." ”

Li Ji sneered: "It's good that you know, just continue to go on when you have enough rest!"

After a while, the two of them finally crawled under the nine crystal hanging coffins.

I saw that the nine crystal hanging coffins were neatly arranged, all dark green, straight into the stone wall, and only two-thirds were exposed and protruding outside.

Li Ji crouched down slightly against the stone wall next to him, and looked ahead, and found that there was a faint green fire flickering on his head, and the coffins were being placed aside......

The two of them had the courage to slowly look into the coffin, and suddenly their hearts tightened, and they gasped.

I saw a crow lying in each crystal coffin, huge in size, twice as large as an ordinary person, wrapped in a golden thread as thick as an arm, and exuding a golden light on its body.

These crows are quite weird, they have three legs, and the faint green light of the crystal coffin, at this time, the two of them are full of infinite horror, desperately trying to calm themselves.

The two of them looked confused: the crow is huge, it is unheard of, unseen, where is the three-legged crow?

A gust of wind blew, there was a glimmer of light swaying, take a serious look, in a corner next to the crystal hanging coffin actually lit half a candle, the faint candlelight flickered one after another, emitting a dim light, but also exuding a cold and pressing chill, making people look a little palpitating.

Zhou Babao exclaimed: "Three-legged crow, half-cut candle, what kind of fame?"

"What kind of monster is this, I've never seen it, isn't it a human thing? This half of the candle seems to have just been lit, and there is no third person in the cliff, is it ......" Li Ji scratched his head, the senior sister was not there, but this place was full of weirdness, I really didn't understand what was going on.

"It's certainly not a human being, it looks like hell to me, and nothing we have seen since we fell into this black hole can be explained by common sense. These nine hanging coffins are full of evil spirits, otherwise, let's climb up quickly!"

Li Ji suddenly exclaimed: "Wait, you see that there is a huge cliff painting on these nine crystal hanging coffins, and there is a white ape on the painting." ”

Zhou Babao rubbed his eyes and looked, and sure enough, he found that there was a white ape stone carving on the top of the nine hanging coffins, waving his arms, playing in the water and fishing for the moon, wanting to make a jump, and the carving was lifelike, just like the real one.

In the face of all kinds of strange phenomena on the cliff, Li Ji did not dare to move forward rashly, for fear that if he touched something that should not be touched, he would be miserable, so he frowned deeply, and said with a blank face: "Strange things happen every year, and there are a lot of them today! What you said really has some truth, since entering this different world, many things cannot be explained, and now there are many mysteries! First, how are these nine crystal hanging coffins placed in this ten thousand cliffs? Second, the hanging coffin is not a human skeleton but a huge three-legged crow? Third, what is the meaning of the white ape stone sculpture above the hanging coffin? Fourth, who lit the half-candle?"

Zhou Babao suddenly patted his head and shouted: "By the way, Brother Ji, I seem to have seen that three-legged crow in some classical book, you wait first, this thing is not simple." Yes, I remembered that the three-legged crow, also known as the 'three-legged crow' and 'golden crow', is a mythical sacred bird. ”

"Divine Bird, you might as well say everything you remember, and see if there are any clues to help us escape. ”

"It is recorded in the book that there is a black three-legged crow in the center of the red sun, and the black crow squats in the center of the red sun, surrounded by a 'red light' that flashes with golden light, so it is called the 'golden crow'. Legend has it that in ancient times there were ten suns in the sky. When they appeared in the sky at the same time, the earth was scorched. People really couldn't survive, so they invited a marksman named Hou Yi to shoot down nine of them with magic arrows. All of a sudden, black feathers flew all over the sky, and nine crows fell from the sky, and these crows all had three legs and feet. It turns out that the radiant sun is just the embodiment of the three-legged crow. ”

"Could it be that these nine three-legged crows are the embodiment of the nine suns? This myth is too godly!" Li Ji snorted in his nostrils, obviously not believing the story in the myth.

"I don't understand this, most of the records in the pre-Qin mythological classics are empty and absurd, so don't believe it too much. ”

Li Ji shook his head again and said: "But what we have encountered in the past few days is simply incredible, completely subverting imagination, if we don't see it with our own eyes, on this continent, there are still many unexplainable, exaggerated and mysterious, bizarre things, we will never believe that what we encounter is true." Now we don't dare to say too arbitrarily, we can only say that it is hypothetical, and the hypothesis is true?"

"If that assumption is true, these nine crows are the Nine Days incarnation, and the place where we are now is the burial ground of the Nine Days. Zhou Babao followed Li Ji's assumption and suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! ”

"What's wrong?"

"The place of burial on the ninth day will be with the Fuso Sacred Tree, that is, the gate of communication between the divine realm, the human world, and the underworld. ”

"What? where we are at the junction of the Three Realms?"

"If the assumption is true, according to ancient records, 'There is a fuso in the valley, bathed for ten days, and lived in water. Nine days in the lower branches, one day in the upper branches', it is inferred that we should be under the Fuso sacred tree, this continent is the legendary Yugu, and there is Fusang on the Tang Valley, which means that the light on the top of the cliff is the divine tree emitted, "ten days of bathing, dwelling in the water", which means that the ten suns live in the water, it is estimated that the days are long, and the water of the Yugu has long dried up. As for the meaning of the ink-splashed wordless cliff painting and the white ape stone carving, I haven't heard of it......"

Bang......

At this time, a dull earth-shattering loud noise made the Hongmeng land within a radius of 100 miles tremble like an earthquake, and the rocks on the cliff were shaken and fell down one after another.

With a loud noise, a handful of black light as black as ink suddenly lit up between heaven and earth, and in an instant, it exploded and spread to the surroundings, and everything around it, after the black light passed, instantly turned into nothing, and even the air between heaven and earth was eroded by black light, and there was no material existence in the black light.

Then I heard a "bang" sound in my ears, the sound was so loud that it seemed to come from the deepest part of the earth, as if the feet of a giant were shaking.

Li Ji stared at Zhou Babao tightly, his face full of suspicion, thinking that the fat man wouldn't touch anything that shouldn't be touched, right?

Zhou Babao hurriedly shook his head and said, "Brother Ji, I really didn't move anything this time!"

Li Ji was slightly relieved in his heart: "It's good if it's not you, but I don't know what can make such a big movement?"

"The loud noise seems to come from the Hongmeng ditch......"

The two of them looked down together, and sure enough, a monstrous black wave spread out from the Hongmeng ditch, sweeping from a distance.

"Brother Ji, it's not good, the flood came out of nowhere, and if you don't climb up faster, you're going to have to stop eating. ”

This black flood continued to rise, at first it was not more than a person, but in the blink of an eye, it rose to more than ten zhang, the rising speed was amazing, and the momentum of the rise did not decrease.

Zhou Babao, who was in the back, urged Li Ji to hurry up in front of him, no matter what kind of nine-day hanging coffin, three-legged crow, white ape stone carving, and half-cut candle, none of them were as terrifying and urgent as this flood.

With the surge of the black flood, the whole world suddenly changed color, faintly thunder and lightning roared, the wind was fierce, the sand and stones were flying, and the surroundings suddenly became blurred.

This increases the difficulty of rock climbing, and once the foothold is not solid, those who fall down will either be crushed or drowned in the black water.

"Fatty, who said that there is no water in Tanggu, looking at this posture, it will take less than a cup of tea to submerge where we are. And isn't it time for this strange wind to come, first rest against the stone wall, and then go up?"

After waiting for a long time, he didn't hear his answer, so he cleared his throat again and shouted, "Fatty!"

"Did he have an accident? However, I didn't hear any special sound just now, with the fat man's skills, no matter what monster, he still has the ability to scream!"

At this time, I only heard the sound of Zhou Babao's "bah" below, and scolded: "The place where God kills, eat my mouth full of sand." ”

Li Ji finally put down his heart and smiled: "I thought something happened to you, it turned out that you ate sand." ”

After this strange wind passed, half of the candle next to the coffin was blown out, Li Ji frowned, and felt that something was wrong: "Fatty, this candle has been blown out." ”

"Extinguish it, extinguish it, anyway, we have the night pearl, we don't need that candle!"

"No, that's not what I meant. Do you remember that in the thief hole above, my sister has mentioned that tomb robbers often like to light a candle in the southeast corner of the coffin, if the candle is extinguished, it means that the tomb owner is not welcome, and most people kowtow a few heads and leave directly, and the tomb owner will not blame. People light lamps, ghosts blow lamps, legend has it that there are three yang fires on people, one on the head, two on the shoulder, as soon as the fire is extinguished, the spirit is destroyed. If the candle is blown out, it means that there is evil in the tomb and it is necessary to escape from the tomb as quickly as possible, otherwise the fire will be blown out. ”

"After you mentioned this, it seems that there is such a saying, and the folk still circulate the saying that 'the rooster cries and the lamp is extinguished, and the gold is not touched'! However, the nine black three-legged crows feel disgusting when they see them, and there are no treasures to accompany the burial, so they can't touch the gold if they want to! Why did the tomb owner blow out the candles, shouldn't it be so evil? The flood below is surging, and the coffin owner here is no longer willing to lend us the way, isn't it dead?"

Li Ji glanced down at the rising black flood in the Hongmeng Gulf, and the situation was not optimistic. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Zhou Babao's face was very weird, and he squeezed his eyebrows at himself, Li Ji originally felt that since he knew him, he was first frightened by him pretending to be a ghost, and then he encountered all kinds of demons and monsters along the way, and strange things happened one after another, and he was scared to death sooner or later if he was not killed. suddenly felt that Zhou Babao was unlucky, unlucky, and very unreliable. What time is it now, still squeezing his eyebrows there, if it weren't for the cliff, he couldn't spare his hand, Li Ji really wanted to rush down and give him a moment.

Seeing that Zhou Babao not only did not stop making grimaces, but kept patting his shoulder, his mouth opening and closing, as if to say: "Hand, hand!"

Li Ji couldn't help but calm his face and scolded: "Fatty, what's the whole thing?"

Zhou Babao didn't answer, he was so anxious that cold sweat came down, Li Ji felt strange, so he looked at his hand, there was nothing unusual, could it be his shoulder, so he turned his head and suddenly found that there was a dark green hand on his shoulder.
