Chapter 289: Into the Ancient Tomb
A large black coffin lay quietly in the hallway, and the openings on both sides were only enough for a person to pass sideways, and it was impossible to avoid the coffin.
If there is a coffin somewhere else, let alone me, Jiang Heng will not take it seriously.
But where is this? This is where the ancestral court of the corpse chasers is located. In the mysterious cave that appeared in the belly of Zuting Mountain, the corpse chasing sect that was the most proficient at chasing corpses, refining corpses, and destroying corpses, I saw such a pitch-black coffin, which was placed on the way to go.
There are still drums in everyone's hearts, and they dare not touch them easily.
But it's not an option to stay like this, the two of us stay here, and the corpse cockroaches behind us are about to pour up.
The dense sea of insects made a scalp-tingling sound, and I had no doubt that they would be able to wipe a large living person dry in a matter of seconds.
"What should I do?" Cold sweat dripped from Jiang Heng's face, and the criticality of the situation made him feel unparalleled nervousness.
I glanced back and said in my heart: "No way, if you don't go, you have to go!" Go, the hands of a dead ghost are better than dying in the mouth of a corpse cockroach! ”
I said that I still walked cautiously towards the coffin. To say that my current ability is not small, I also have the ability to observe and practice Qi, and the means to unfold the Qi diagram, but this coffin gives me a very bad feeling.
It's like a fierce beast asleep and prostrate in front of it, and I'm about to pass by the beast's side!
Nervousness and uneasiness filled my brain, making my whole body mentally nervous and focused, and even making me seem cautious with every step.
It's only a dozen steps from one end to the other, but I feel like I've been walking for half a century.
The pressure on me from that black coffin was unprecedented, and I didn't even know why. It wasn't until I walked to the back of the black coffin that I found that the clothes on my back were soaked in cold sweat!
Finally arrived at the back of the black coffin, I was relieved that nothing happened unexpectedly, and after wiping my cold sweat, I beckoned to Jiang Heng and said, "Young Master Jiang, come here, be careful." ”
Jiang Heng had been paying close attention to my movements, and when he saw that I had passed by the black coffin unharmed, his heart was relieved, and he nodded and walked forward.
But strange things happened at this moment.
Don't look at the danger when I walked over, Jiang Heng took two steps forward and didn't reach the front of the black coffin, the pitch-black coffin immediately shook, and a sharp sound sounded inside the coffin lid, as if the things inside were scratching the inside of the coffin lid with sharp nails.
This voice sounded extremely infiltrating, Jiang Heng's face suddenly turned white, and he quickly stopped his steps. I was also startled by the sudden voice, holding the magic of the Flying Immortal Formula in my hand, ready to deal with the unexpected at any time.
But as soon as Jiang Heng stopped, the sound inside the coffin also stopped.
Jiang Heng and I glanced at each other across the coffin, and he took another step forward under the signal of my eyes.
"Click, click!"
This time, there was more than the sound of fingernails scraping the coffin board, and the heavy black wooden coffin lid slammed, as if the contents of the coffin would be lifted and rushed out at any moment!
The pressure emanating from the black coffin was even more terrifying, and a trace of black qi oozed from the cracks.
"Forget it, it seems that I can't get through this coffin." Where could Jiang Heng not understand what was going on? He stopped with a wry smile, "The lord in this coffin should be something that has been sacrificed and refined by the ancestors of your corpse chasing sect, at least I'm afraid they are all corpse king-level existences." It was used to guard the entrance and prevent people who shouldn't have been in there. ”
As soon as I thought about it, what he said really made sense, otherwise why didn't I have anything to do when I came in, and as soon as he moved, the coffin was scratched and bumped, as if the things pressed inside would lift the coffin at any time!
"So what do you do? Corpse Cockroach..." I'm also anxious, this corpse cockroach is coming!
Jiang Heng shook his head, glanced back and said, "Don't worry, those corpse cockroaches don't dare to come in here." It seems that the reason for this coffin struck them all. ”
Jiang Heng was also very uncertain about what he said, the corpse cockroach was born to eat dead human flesh. But the thing that eats the flesh of the dead is so frightened by the contents of the coffin that it does not dare to enter the hole, how fierce is the thing pressed in this coffin?
I didn't dare to think about it, but it didn't stop me from coming in here, it seemed that it was really as Jiang Heng said, this was really a means arranged by the ancestors of the corpse chasing sect.
Since the corpse cockroach will not rush up, my heart is temporarily put back in my stomach. Now Jiang Heng is in a dilemma, there is a murderous coffin in front and a corpse cockroach in the back, and he is simply stopped in the space of a few steps between him.
"Since Young Master Jiang can't move now, please rest here for a while." I said to him, and subconsciously moved away from the black coffin.
Jiang Heng couldn't help it, nodded with a wry smile, sat down cross-legged and said, "Mr. Lin, please be careful all the way." ”
The road further inside is not easy to walk, the front has experienced black coffins and corpse cockroaches, and God knows what else will be hidden behind. I took the tiger tooth short knife in my hand, looked left and right, and woke up my spirit.
As I expected, this is indeed a large tomb, with a tomb passage, a tomb chamber, and a town tomb beast.
After climbing one more level, I panted and saw a Tai Chi patterned door on top. It seems simple, but it actually contains the principle of change, but this can't help but make it difficult for me, after using the Qi diagram to calculate its changes corresponding to the Taiji diagram, it took me twenty minutes to unlock the lock of the Taiji diagram.
With a click, the stone Taiji diagram cracked through the dividing line in the middle, splitting into left and right sides to reveal a prototype hole, enough for people to drill through.
So far, I've climbed five floors, it's really hard to imagine, and I'm curious to see how many more floors there are.
However, it was only when I got through the cave where the Taiji diagram appeared that I was really sure that this was really the place of the corpse gate, or more precisely - this place was built by the corpse chaser faction.
On the fifth floor is a huge burial chamber, no longer as dark as before, but brightly lit. The oil lamp, which is said to last for thousands of years, is responsible for lighting.
The light of the oil lamp illuminated the stone platforms. There are sarcophagi on the stone platform, and the lid of each sarcophagus is open, so that you can clearly see the corpses that have turned into dried corpses inside.
Every eight stone platforms formed a circle, and the position I drilled out of was the center of the innermost circle. Further out there was a circle, and the people in each coffin were wearing Taoist robes, and some of them also had peach wood swords or money swords that they loved to use in their lifetimes.
What kind of place this is, even if I am sluggish, I already have a guess at this point.
Suddenly, his legs were a little weak, not frightened, but an inexplicable touch. This is the ancestral court of the corpse chasing faction, where their ancestral grave is located, and this corpse lying in the sarcophagus is the head of the corpse chasing faction for generations.
After his death, he was buried in this ancient tomb by his disciples.
Although I was forced to enter, I still felt a little throbbing in my heart when I saw these ancestors of the corpse chasing sect at this time, but I didn't feel afraid.
I walked out of the sarcophagus with bated breath, and after leaving the area illuminated by the oil lamp, I suddenly saw a circle of stone platforms, and there was a hanging coffin hanging above the place I had just risen!
When I came up from underneath, I thought it was the ceiling, but I didn't pay attention to it, but now that I think about it, I'm really scared.
And this hanging coffin in the air is a rare and peculiar burial method. Those who are buried in this way are either cursed in front of their bodies, and are not allowed to rest in the earth; Either they are still obsessed and unwilling to be reincarnated as a human after being grounded.
Either way, it's something I don't want to figure out and provoke. I didn't forget the main purpose of my coming to Yinshan, and I accidentally bypassed the frontal troops and entered the ancient tomb of Yinshan, and I shouted my luck.
According to Shan Yufei, if his master Black Flag Daoist was still alive, it was very likely that he had hidden in this ancient tomb. Thinking about the rabbit that had lured me here, a bold idea came to mind.
The white rabbit is likely to be the primordial spirit of the Black Flag Dao people, and the purpose is to let people break the Four Pillars Optimus Law from the outside and open up a back path that could not have been taken.
It was a reasonable inference, and I was overjoyed and began to look around for a place to hide.
After all, in addition to the Black Flag Dao people, I also have an important purpose here, which is to find the Corpse Demon Sutra.
At this moment, I suddenly saw a figure appear in front of me.
