Volume 1 The Ruins of the Immortal Mountain Chapter 93 Xu Fu Gem
"Didn't the bronze coffin you saw have blood flowing out all the time? Why are these two coffins tightly fitted and nothing? Jarzi asked.
I shook my head and said, "I don't know...... Maybe it has something to do with its burial? ”
"Something to do with the funeral?" Xiao Ai asked, "By the way, poor ghost, why are these two coffins hanging in the air so strangely?" ”
I explained: "In fact, there were many burial methods in ancient times, such as the most common burial, cremation, water burial, hanging coffin burial, and so on......"
"Then these two coffins must belong to hanging coffins, right?" Xiao Ai asked.
I nodded, "Yes!" It's just that most hanging coffin burials are based on a certain culture or custom, but this kind of hanging coffin burial is based on the art of feng shui. You see, at the four corners of these two coffins there are four pillars standing on the ground, and they are stuck in the middle by shape, and there is an iron cable attached to each of the pillars, so that a total of eight iron cables will pull the coffin and make it hang between the four pillars. See if the four pillars are engraved with charms......"
The altar leaned down and looked: "There is really a charm...... It's very similar to the Soul Suppression Spell I've seen before......"
"What do you mean to be very similar? It's the same spell! I said, "The purpose is also to trap the spirits of the dead inside...... Therefore, the name of this burial method is called the four-pillar trapped dragon hanging coffin burial, and the eight iron chains are also called the 'trapped dragon rope'. ”
"What does that mean?" Jar asked.
"As the name suggests, it is the method of burial coffins that can trap dragons." I said, "This kind of burial method makes the coffin not touch the world and the earth, the sky is dry and yang, and the earth is kun and yin, which is to make the soul of the deceased neither go to the underworld nor return to the yang realm, and will always be trapped here and become a lonely ghost...... This practice is extremely detrimental to yin morality! ”
"Then how much enmity does this have to do with the dead?" Hua Tianyu sighed and said.
"Look there's a light ahead!" The jar roared, startling everyone. But as soon as we heard that there was light, we couldn't help but be overjoyed. But when we looked at it, we found that the light was not an exit or something, but a ghostly light from something—a faint, green light.
It was right in front of us, and it was flashing and flashing, and it was particularly eye-catching. But when we first came in, we didn't see that light. I was afraid that I hadn't noticed it myself, so I asked the altar about them.
"Nope! Absolutely nothing! When we first came in, it was pitch black, and we couldn't see our fingers! Jar said.
"Brother Zhou is right! If this thing keeps glowing, there's no reason why we can't see it! Hua Tianyu said.
"Although this light is not strong, it is very conspicuous here!" Xiao Ai said.
"That is, we are not blind, if it glows, how can it not see?" Xu Yunshu said.
A few of us tentatively and slowly leaned towards the light. At this moment, the altar on the far left suddenly went limp, and one of them fell to the ground, as if he had tripped over something.
"Damn, how did the ground get so soft?" The jar grinded and was about to stand up.
"Ah~~" Xu Yunshu and Xiao Ai screamed at the same time, and Xiao Ai shouted: "Altar, your feet...... ...... under your feet"
"What's wrong with my feet?" The altar looked at his feet in confusion.
It didn't matter, the jar almost threw up, because there was a man lying at his feet. Yes, it's a person, not the skeletons scattered around the house. The man was lying at the back of the coffin, leaning against a pillar with one leg exposed. It was this outstretched leg that tripped over the jar. Half of this man's face was now gone, and the other half was still a little flesh and blood, and the nose, lips, and left eye were long gone, and the right hand and left leg were missing. A large hole had been cut in his chest and abdomen, and most of his internal organs were long gone, except for a large intestine piled up at the base of his thigh, and half of his lungs were still hanging there, shaking slightly......
"If you want to say that he is rotten like this, I will not believe anything." The jar used both hands and feet, and quickly crawled away from there, until it crawled to our side before standing up.
"Look at his clothes!" I said in a deep voice.
Everyone had just paid attention to the terrifying appearance of the corpse, and no one cared about the costume he was wearing. Now, at my reminder, they look at the dead......
"It's someone from the Institute!" Xiao Ai exclaimed.
"It's them! They're coming in too? And the jar cried.
Xu Yunshu thought for a while and said, "There are a total of twelve people from the Archaeological Research Institute, and in addition to your friends, the bodies of two people have been found outside; Coupled with the two people we found at the bottom of the cave and the three people we found at the giant flower, there should be four more people who survived...... They are fully qualified to open the pool mechanism! ”
"Then the four of them ......" Xiao Ai hurriedly snatched the flashlight in my hand and shone it indiscriminately, and soon found the bodies of the other three. Compared to the first corpse, the three corpses were even more mutilated, and even one of them had become a skeleton, leaving only some scraps of flesh on the body. If it weren't for the clothes on his body as a mark, I'm afraid we would really be unrecognizable.
"How...... How so? Xiao Ai trembled and sobbed, "How can this be? She had been trying to find out the cause of her glasses' death, but along the way, the deaths of others in the institute did not match the glasses, which puzzled her. So she still had the illusion in her heart that there would always be someone alive on this business trip, so that he could know the cause of death from his mouth. But when she saw the body of the last man, she knew that hope was lost.
I understood what Xiao Ai was thinking, and gently patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, "Although all the people who came here from the institute are dead, I think that since we have come here, we will know the truth sooner or later...... And I feel like we're not far from the truth......"
"Don't worry, Sister Ai, we will definitely be able to investigate and deal with the cause of Brother Glasses' death!" Xu Yunshu also comforted Xiao Ai.
"Poor ghost~~" Suddenly, the sound of the altar came from a distance. We looked up and saw that he was already at the glowing object. It was a stone platform, and the glowing thing was placed on top of it.
"It's a glowing gem! How much does it cost to sell such a big gem for it! We're rich! Eh, is this the stone that Xu Fu found written on the stone tablet, if it is true, then we will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of our lives......" After speaking, the jar reached out to take it.
"Don't ......," I shouted, trying to stop him, but it was too late. The jar had taken the gem off its pedestal.
