Chapter 18: The sarcophagus
Several people walked slowly towards the giant coffin with the white bones everywhere, and at this time, a gust of wind blew from the cave. Although the wind was not strong, it had already made Xu Fu's master and apprentice tremble. Although the sun is blazing on the outside, the inside of the cave is like ice and snow.
In front of the huge sarcophagus, Xu Fu held a torch and slowly looked at the strange words on the sarcophagus. Lao Bai stared at the stone wall behind the sarcophagus, as if he saw the hidden content on the stone wall.
Xu Fu looked at the strange words on the sarcophagus, and then turned his head to look at Lao Bai: "The demon king should be suppressed in this sarcophagus, the purpose of our trip is to eliminate this demon king, come on!" Let's open the coffin! The lid of this sarcophagus is only afraid that it is not less than a thousand catties, Lao Bai, it depends on you! ”
Lao Bai looked at the stone wall behind the sarcophagus unwillingly, and then nodded: "Okay!" Now the sunlight outside is very strong, since this demon king cultivates the demon dao, it must be heavy yin. Let's drag this sarcophagus out into the sun for a while! Reduce some of the yin energy inside the sarcophagus. ”
Xu Fu nodded: "I have this intention, the yang energy outside is strong, and it is best to pull this sarcophagus out to dry." Regardless of whether the demon king is afraid of the sun or not, this sarcophagus is gloomy, and basking in the sun can reduce some of the yin energy. Then the three of them pulled the sarcophagus with a rope and pulled it out of the cave.
"Fortunately, Lao Bai is here, otherwise it would be impossible for the two of them to drag the huge sarcophagus" Thinking of this, Xu Fu nodded and looked at Lao Bai and smiled.
Several people dragged the sarcophagus to the sun and exposed it, and then sat in the shade of the tree next to them and looked at the sarcophagus intently, because they were afraid that the demon king in the sarcophagus would suddenly come out.
Lao Bai looked at the cave uneasily, Xu Fu patted Lao Bai's shoulder and pointed to a yellow spell on the sarcophagus and smiled: "Don't worry, when I dragged the sarcophagus out just now, I already pasted five thunder talismans on it, as long as the demon king inside comes out, I guarantee that it will be shattered by thunder." ”
Lao Bai still looked at the cave intently: "The things in this sarcophagus are not a big threat, it shouldn't be the demon king, the real demon king is only afraid that he is still in the cave at this time."
Xu Fu asked curiously, "How do you know that there is no demon king in this sarcophagus?" Lao Bai nodded: "If the demon king is in the sarcophagus, then the aura in this sarcophagus should be abundant, but there is no aura in this sarcophagus, but the stone wall opposite the sarcophagus is overflowing." So I'm guessing that the Demon King will definitely not be in the sarcophagus. ”
Xu Fu stood up suddenly: "No matter, let's open the sarcophagus first, if the demon king is really not inside." Let's go in again! After speaking, he grabbed the corner of the sarcophagus and climbed up, and directly pulled out the bronze giant sword inserted in the coffin lid.
As soon as the bronze greatsword was pulled out, the already cracked sarcophagus lid was completely shattered into several pieces at once. Lao Bai was worried that something would happen to Xu Fu, so he hurriedly hugged Xu Fu down. Then with another wave of his hand, a stream of air directly knocked the fragments of the sarcophagus lids several meters away. A puff of black smoke came out of the sarcophagus, and Lao Bai stopped Xu Fu, who was about to come forward to check: "Be careful, these black smoke may be poisonous." Xu Fu smiled: "Don't worry! It's just mud sealing in the cracks of the coffin lid, but it's been too long, so it has rotted into black powder. Plus the strength of your shot just now is too big. So it turned into black smoke. ”
Lao Bai nodded, and then withdrew the hand that stopped Xu Fu. Xu Fu quickly walked towards the sarcophagus, and then looked down at the inside of the sarcophagus. Inside, I saw a withered human skeleton. The strange thing is that the bones are actually sitting cross-legged in the sarcophagus, as if meditating. The skeleton held a bronze seal in one hand and a sword in the other.
Xu Fu shouted curiously: "Could it be that this is the Demon King?" But this is obviously a human skeleton! Could it be that the demon king has already cultivated into a human body? Lao Bai: Come and see? ”
Lao Bai also walked over and took a look: "This is not the demon king, this is the human corpse, and the demon king should still be in that cave." But why is there a human skeleton in this sarcophagus? ”
The disciple next to Xu Fu suddenly shouted: "Master, look, there is a pattern in this sarcophagus, as if I just saw it in the cave" Xu Fu hurriedly stared at the pattern tightly.
Lao Bai broke the hand of the corpse and took out the copper seal and sword in the hand of the corpse. The copper seal was engraved with a coiled dragon, and several large characters were engraved on the bottom of the copper seal. Lao Bai didn't know how to read, so he handed the copper seal to Xu Fu.
Xu Fu took the copper seal and looked at it carefully, and then said softly: "This copper seal should be the Coiling Dragon Seal, could it be that this corpse is the owner of the Coiling Dragon Seal?" ”
Lao Bai looked at Xu Fu: "What?" Do you know him? Xu Fu put the copper seal back into the hand of the corpse bone and sighed: "This dragon seal is said to be a treasure handed down by Jiang Ziya, and after Jiang Ziya assisted King Wu of Zhou to cut down the gods, he gave it to his beloved disciples. The origin of this dragon seal is unknown, but its effect is very powerful, and it is said to be able to suppress all evil things. Later, after Jiang Ziya turned into an immortal, his apprentice disappeared not long after, and then this dragon seal also disappeared with it, but I didn't expect to see it on Penglai Island today. ”
Lao Bai hurriedly pulled out the sword he took from the corpse bone's hand, and as soon as the sword was unsheathed, a chill rushed to his face. Although the scabbard was rusty, the blade was still shining. Xu Fu took the sword and looked at it, and there were three big characters engraved on the hilt of the sword - Chili Sword.
Xu Fu suddenly lost his temper and shouted: "Ah! Chili Sword? Lao Bai looked at Xu Fu curiously and didn't speak. Xu Fu nodded: "Chili Sword is a Taoist god soldier who kills demons and evil spirits, and legend has it that when the Taoist Lao Tzu sent a letter to Guguan, he killed a thousand-year-old giant python. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Fu looked up at the sky and muttered: "I didn't expect these two treasures to be reborn today, it seems that this must be the will of heaven." Now it seems that we have a better chance of winning against the Demon King. ”
Lao Bai nodded: "Although there are these two treasures that kill demons and punish evil, the demon king is also extraordinary. Since it is a demon king, its ability is definitely not ordinary, so we still have to be careful. ”
Xu Fu held the Panlong Seal and the Chili Sword and nodded: "Yes, you are right, although we have two treasures in our hands now, we must not be careless." Speaking of this, Xu Fu looked at the bones in the sarcophagus and fell into thought: "Who is this corpse?" Why is it in this sarcophagus? Why is there a bronze giant sword of demon suppression on the sarcophagus? ”
Lao Bai looked at Xu Fu: "Since this sarcophagus is not a demon king, then we should hurry into the cave and take a look." The sun hasn't set yet, so even if you encounter the demon king, you won't be afraid, but if it drags on until night. The Demon King must have greatly increased his strength. ”
Xu Fu looked up at the huge stone door, and suddenly found a vague pattern on the stone door. So he hurriedly ran to the stone gate, lifted the vines on it, and looked at it.
