The Scourge of Witchcraft Chapter 48 Nothing
Before I opened the coffin, I had a golden picture in my mind, and it seemed to me that the treasures of the coffin must have been piled up in the coffin, and perhaps as soon as I opened it, the gold, silver and jewels would fall down with a bang, and I thought I had to be careful.
Unexpectedly, when I opened it, there was nothing inside except a dried corpse in strange clothes.
The other two were probably in the same mood as me, and after removing the lid of the coffin, they were also stunned.
Old man Li was the first to react, I saw him crawl into the coffin three times and two times, first broke the mouth of the dried corpse, and then put his hand under the buttocks of the dried corpse and touched it, and finally, he crawled out of the coffin again in disappointment, and muttered in his mouth: "It's strange, there is no tongue pressure in the mouth, no anal plug under it, what kind of burial method is this?" ”
Seeing this, I leaned over and asked, "What's wrong?" Is there anything strange about it? ”
Old man Li lowered his head and thought for a long time, then raised his head and explained: "Generally speaking, when the ancients were buried, those with a little bit of identity would stuff something in the mouth of the deceased, such as jade, pearls, night pearls or something, which symbolizes the identity of the tomb owner. In addition, there is also a practice of nine tricks, that is, all the tricks of the deceased are plugged with things, which has the effect of embalming, but the tomb owner has neither, is there such a big difference between this Rouran people and the customs of the Central Plains? But why did he use the methods of the Central Plains to protect the tomb? ”
"Maybe he thinks that this coffin can be embalmed, so he didn't use the Nine Orifices Plug?"
Old man Li nodded after listening, "Well, yes, there is this possibility, hey, it may be that I have thought too much, this coffin is priceless, what other funeral goods can compare to this coffin?" Forget it, let's go back and think about getting out early. ”
Hearing this, I was a little confused, how much effort did it take us to get here, even if our purpose is not the owner of the tomb, but after suffering so many crimes, why do we have to find out the identity of the owner of the tomb, what is the matter with Old Man Li going back to the house so plainly?
"Wait, just go back? Don't look at it anymore? I shouted anxiously.
"What else are you looking at?" Old man Li turned around and asked.
"The identity of the owner of the tomb! I've been tossing for so long, and I haven't even figured out who is behind the scenes, what is this! ”
Old man Li smiled, walked over and patted me on the shoulder, "Little brother, you haven't been to the tomb much at first glance, do you think these ancient tombs are like on TV, and you can know what age and who the tomb owner is as soon as you dig it out?" Not to mention this kind of ancient tomb with nothing, it is an ancient tomb with the identity of the owner of the tomb, and it has to go through various investigations, research, testing, and comparison to accurately know who the owner of the tomb is. ”
I was still unwilling, but when I saw that the other brother had already fallen on the beam and walked back, and Old Man Li followed after telling me, I endured my unwillingness and prepared to return to Qiu Yan.
I asked aloud about Qiu Yan's whereabouts, and then crawled towards Qiu Yan's voice, as soon as Chen Fangyuan and the others heard that we were going back, they asked about the coffin one by one.
Old man Li and I didn't climb in the same direction, he answered the questions of Chen Fangyuan and others one by one on the side, and everyone also talked about it after learning that there was nothing in the coffin.
After about ten minutes of climbing, I finally climbed to the doorway where Qiu Yan was, and when Qiu Yan saw me, she immediately reached out and grabbed my collar and dragged me in, as if she was afraid that I would fall.
After experiencing this experience, when I saw Qiu Yan again, I was really emotional, but a thousand words came to my heart, and after seeing Qiu Yan, I just smiled stupidly: "Hehe, Qiu Yan, I'm back!" ”
Qiu Yan's brows were tightly locked, and even the mask couldn't hide her anger, "He Zimu, if you are like this in the future, I~~~I~~~"
Seeing that Qiu Yan was so angry that she couldn't speak, I hurriedly laughed and said, "Qiu Yan, don't be angry, I promise there will be no next time, okay?" ”
Mr. Bi also came over at this time and persuaded me: "Miss Qiu, Brother Xiao He is blessed with a great life, and he can still sacrifice himself for others, which is really commendable, don't blame him!" ”
I don't know if Qiu Yan listened or not, she just looked at me stunned for a while, and then reached out to pull me up.
But as soon as my hand held Qiu Yan's hand, a piercing pain followed, and I couldn't help but scream.
Qiu Yan turned over my hand and exclaimed, "Zimu, your hand!" ”
I just remembered that when I grabbed the rope to save my life, a layer of skin on my hands had fallen off, and I didn't pay much attention to the coffin and the cave below just now, but now as soon as I relaxed, all the senses in my body returned.
"Hehe, it's okay, it's thanks to you for thinking of saving me with a rope, otherwise I would have gone down and turned into ashes sooner!"
So, I told the people in the door how I was saved, and everyone was amazed after listening, and Mr. Bi sighed: "I just said that you are blessed with a great life, but what is it if you are not blessed with a great life!" ”
At this time, Luo Laodao, who had been standing aside without speaking, came over, took off his backpack in a panic, took out a small bottle from the bag, and then poured the white powder in the bottle on my hand.
"It may be a little painful, you bear with it, this medicine can invigorate blood and muscles, just apply one a day!"
Luo Laodao didn't look me in the eye when he spoke, as if he was afraid to look at me, I took the opportunity to quip: "This little bottle, this white. Powder, it can't be Yunnan Baiyao, right? ”
Luo Laodao raised his eyes to look at me at this time, and said angrily: "Hmph, Yunnan Baiyao? Where is it worthy to compare with my medicine, let me tell you, this is the ancestral secret recipe of my Lao Luo family, even if you are shot in a hole, this medicine can snatch you from the hands of Lord Yama! ”
After applying the medicine, Luo Laodao bandaged me again, and then squatted next to him and sighed, "Hey, He boy, my old Luo, only others owe me my share in my life, I have never owed others, today I owe you once, I still owe life!" In the future, if you have anything, even if it is for me to cut off my head on the spot, as long as you say a word, I promise to be on call. ”
I smiled, "Okay, old man Luo, I'm not a noble person, I don't play false, this time I did risk my life to save you back, since you want to repay the favor, then let's write it down for the time being, if there is anything that can be used for you in the future, I will not be ambiguous!" ”
After hearing this, Luo Laodao patted me on the shoulder and laughed: "Hahahaha, good boy, happy, my old Luo really underestimated you!" ”
Qiu Yan saw that I was bandaged, so she pulled me up and said worriedly: "Okay, repay the favor or something, let's talk about it later, if we can't get out, it's useless to say anything." ”
Luo Laodao patted the back of his head after hearing this, "Yes, yes, yes, you have to think about it first." ”
After standing up, I first glanced at the sinkhole below, which was still the same as before, fiery red, and the stones fell without any effect, but just from the temperature, I could feel that there must be a dead end below.
Then I went inside the door and felt for the bricks.
"Don't look at it, Brother Xiao He, we have already checked it before you came, there is no mechanism in it, and there is no secret passage." Mr. Bi said behind me.
"No, I finally survived, did I walk into a dead end again?" After speaking, I looked at Mr. Bi again, "Why don't we pry the bricks open and see, maybe there is an exit hidden behind it?" ”
Mr. Bi shook his head, "We have thought about this method, but my opinion with Lao Luo is that it is better not to pry it open easily, in case this is not an exit, but something else?" ”
After I listened, I looked at Luo Laodao, only to see him nodding his head at me.
"What other formations are you thinking?" I asked.
"He boy," Luo Lao Dao took a step forward, "You can think that I thought too much about the previous things, but you can't think too much about it here, you may have forgotten how we found this ancient tomb!" ”
How did you find this ancient tomb?! I thought about it carefully, and suddenly, I remembered, Chen Fangyuan told me that they had found a dry arm all the way to this place because they had found a dry arm in the downstream of these hot springs.
And the sixteen statues we faced before did not lack arms or legs, that is, that arm belonged to someone else.
"You mean, there might be zombies behind this brick wall?" I hurriedly asked.
Luo Laodao nodded, "It may just be a corpse that was washed away, but we can't help but be on guard." ”
"What then? We can't just wait for death because it's possible, right? ”
"Of course not!" Mr. Bi came over and said, "But we have to find out what the situation of these eight doorways is first, and then we can find the right location." ”
"So what are you waiting for? You want to! ”
"Hehe, I thought about it, but I don't have a clue, by the way, He boy, the coffin you saw with Lao Li just now, tell me carefully, maybe there are clues hidden in it."
I thought to myself, there was nothing in that coffin, what clues could it hide! But looking back, I couldn't understand this old man's ability at all, maybe he could see something, so I repeated the appearance of the coffin to him in detail.
After listening to my story, Luo Laodao and Mr. Bi both touched their masks and thought, Luo Laodao thought while thinking: "Shi Mu? There are really stone and wooden coffins in this world! I thought it was just a legend! But ~~~ But why is there nothing? ”
At this time, Mr. Bi seemed to remember something, turned to me and asked, "Wait, you just said that the beam is attached to the coffin?" ”
"That's right!"
"Then do you remember which side the coffin's head is facing and which way its feet are facing?"
I recalled, and then replied, "I remember the head was on the third beam on my right, and my feet were on the left-hand beam." ”
Boss Luo patted his thigh after hearing this, and said excitedly: "Yes, just now because there is no position, we can't judge the direction, as soon as the direction of the coffin comes out, we can judge the direction according to the direction of the coffin!" ”
Mr. Bi hurriedly urged: "Lao Luo, gossip bitmap, you are an expert, hurry up and calculate." ”
