Chapter 43: The Bottomless Pit
"Damn, don't be in a hurry, wait for me!" Lao Wu opened his mouth and scolded, he didn't care that Qi Lu was still in the cave and jumped up like a wild goose, chasing after the young man.
But after all, it was difficult for manpower to do it, and when he followed the young man's figure closely, the whirlpool suddenly disappeared, and his head suddenly hit the hard rock wall, and his body fell like a kite with a broken string, and he fell to the ground in pain so that even his facial features were deformed, and he kept moaning/moaning there.
"Alas, forget it, since the master arranged for us to take over Jiaolong's place, there must be a reason for her." Qi Lu saw that a big bag had swollen on Lao Wu's head, and he couldn't help laughing.
"Laugh, you still have a smile on your face, help me up!"
After Qi Lu helped him to sit on the stone chair, Lao Wu shouted again, "Now you are happy, trapped in this place where birds don't lay eggs, there is nothing to eat, and when the time comes, we can only slaughter this monster and eat it, otherwise we will all starve to death!" ”
At this time, suddenly there was a rumbling sound from the ground, and both of them fell to the ground one by one, and Qi Lu was surprised to find that the earth was trembling, and the ground cracked like a spider's web.
"Oh no, you've that youkai, he's about to come out and trouble us!" Qi Lu exclaimed.
"Don't make a fuss, a little demon can break the old woman's seal?" As soon as Lao Wu's words fell, he saw that the stone table had cracks. The stone chair had fallen to the ground, and the stone table had broken in half and rolled a few times and fell to the ground.
The cave reverberated strangely from the roar of the ground, cracks appeared around the walls and on the roof, and countless pieces of rubble fell down on them, but they had nowhere to hide.
"Damn, do you want me to be buried with you?" Lao Wu roared angrily, and a tiger jumped up. He pinched his hands and recited the incantation, and an invisible barrier quietly opened, enveloping the two of them.
The rubble continued to fall, sliding down its edge as soon as it touched the barrier. The entire cave tumbled like an out-of-control spaceship, and Qi Lu and the two kept falling and getting up in the enchantment.
Lao Wu said loudly: "It's not a way to go on like this, sooner or later we will be buried here, and the cave will become our grave!" ”
Qi Lu couldn't calm down anymore, his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking of a way to escape from this man-eating cave.
But before he could come up with a solution, the entire ground under their feet collapsed, and the two of them fell towards the abyss unexpectedly!
"Ahh
I don't know how long it took to fall before they reached the bottom. To Qi Lu's surprise, they fell to the ground safely as if they had come into contact with a soft sponge.
"We're not dead?" Lao Wu looked confused, looked up at the top, and found that he couldn't see the gap where they fell at a glance.
"Your flashlight?" In the dark, Qi Lu asked.
Lao Wu touched it with his hand, and suddenly said in frustration: "The ghost knows where it fell." ”
"Alas, now we're all blind." Almost unable to see his fingers, Qi Lu got up, groped his way forward a few steps, and couldn't help but cry out "ah".
"What's wrong with you?" Old Wu didn't know what happened to him.
"Looks like I've hit something hard." Qi Lu rubbed the sore spot while touching the place he had just knocked down with his other hand, there was a very smooth and cold texture in his hand, and he realized that it was a metal pillar as thick as a child's arm.
Qi Lu couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly touched the metal pillar up with both hands, until he reached the top that was about as tall as him, and seemed to feel that it was a long ellipsoid.
"Ahh Qi Lu let out another scream, and the ellipsoid suddenly became extremely hot, so hot that he immediately let go.
In an instant, a white light lit up in the darkness. Qi Lu fixed his eyes and looked at it, it turned out that this was a long lamp, and the ellipsoid he had just touched was its transparent lampshade.
At this moment, there is light scattered in the lampshade, but it is not a flame, the light source is just a spherical object similar to the pearl of the night, Qi Lu can't say the name of this baby, he is also the first time to see this strange bead, there is actually a blazing temperature.
The two of them, who had regained their composure, opened their eyes to find that the place they were in was actually a cave again!
"Bang, bang, bang......" It was as if someone was activating the button, and the same light flashed in front of and behind and across the long lamp, and the whole cave suddenly became bright.
Qi Lu and Lao Wu were stunned, and they carefully looked at everything around them. They were standing on a paved road paved with white jade stones, lined with countless bronze lanterns.
After so many years, there is no trace of rust on the bronze lampstand, and it is still as new as ever. At the end of the road, there was a rectangular platform made of stones, on which seemed to place two square things, but they were too far away to see what they were.
"We ...... Do you want to go over? Lao Wu asked hesitantly.
"Let's go." Qi Lu's mind was full of curiosity, and he was eager to know the answer.
After only a few steps forward, Qi Lu stepped on a corpse without paying attention, and suddenly lost his footing and fell on the dry corpse.
The dry corpse didn't know how long it had been dead, with the big mouth of the black hole open, and there were only two black holes left in the position of his eyes, Qi Lu pounced on the dry corpse, just face to face with it, which made him let out an exclamation, and quickly got up and ran to the side to vomit.
"You don't know how many monsters you've killed, why can't you get used to it?" Lao Wu shook his head disapprovingly and looked at the dried corpse.
"Or was sucked out of the soul and died, judging from the deceased's clothes that had not rotted through, he should be a commoner during the Xia Dynasty."
"Looks like the monster did it again! Let's go. Qi Lu also regained his composure, and he kept an eye on his feet as he walked, but no more corpses appeared on the road.
But after walking a few steps, Qi Lu stopped walking, his eyes looking straight at the ground.
"What's wrong with you?" Lao Wu asked in surprise.
"Look at the bricks on the road."
Lao Wu looked down and found that these white stones like square bricks were carved with patterns, one was a peach blossom and the other was a butterfly.
Lao Wu was stunned for a moment, and said with a little surprise: "Peach blossom and butterfly? ”
"Yes." Qi Lu's face showed anxiety that he had never felt before.
Looking at this familiar pattern, Lao Wu stepped forward and said: "This is not strange, this is originally the place built by the gods of Kunlun, and it is natural that there will be peach blossoms and butterflies." ”
Qi Lu stopped talking and continued to move forward, and finally came to the square platform. It is a paved platform, much like the altar used by the ancients to worship the gods.
The two of them went up the stone steps to the platform, only to find that what they saw at first was a coffin made of two green jades. Patterns of flowers and butterflies were carved around the coffin and on the white jade surface, and the lid of the coffin on the left had been opened, Qi Lu curiously walked to the coffin and looked inside, and found that it was empty, and there were no funeral goods.
"I'm afraid this is no ordinary coffin." Old Wu had a gloomy face, looking at the coffin lid that was discarded on the ground.
When Qi Lu heard him say this, he also checked the lid of the coffin, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became.
There was a crack in the middle of the lid, and there was a crack in the hole that stretched to the edge of the lid. The lid was also engraved with strange symbols, but it was difficult for Qi Lu to recognize that they were sacred books written by the gods, and they were powerful spells used to suppress evil spirits.
Lao Wu turned the coffin lid over with difficulty, and said in a worried tone: "Judging from the traces of destruction, this coffin lid was destroyed from the inside. ”
"Are you saying that there was a person lying in the coffin, and it was he who broke the lid of the coffin and escaped?"
"On the face of it, that's how it should be. Then who will he be......" Lao Wu suddenly cried out: "In the coffin is a monster imprisoned by the Queen Mother of the West!" ”
"Ahh Qi Lu exclaimed, but he immediately calmed down and said lightly: "If it was this demon, wouldn't he have run away earlier, why should the pan lie dormant in this cave to take care of it?" ”
Lao Wu laughed embarrassedly, but he restrained his smile and said, "If it's like you said, there is a imprisoned monster in the other coffin!" ”
Qi Lu was shocked again, and both of them cast their eyes on the other coffin. It was placed there quietly, and the white miserable light shone on it, showing a bit of eerie atmosphere.
This coffin is about the same as the broken coffin, not only the shape and size are the same, but even the carved patterns around the perimeter are exactly the same, and the lid of the coffin is also engraved with a divine incantation. The only difference is that at the junction of the coffin lid and the coffin body in front of Qi Road, there is a rune pasted with a line of incantations written on it.
"Kunlun Town Evil Curse!" Lao Wu recognized the contents of the incantation.
Qi Lu was just about to answer, but a complaining voice floated into his ears from the coffin: "You are still here after all." ”
"Who, who's talking to me?" Qi Lu was taken aback.
"I didn't talk to you." Lao Wu looked at him confused.
"Didn't you hear?" Qi Lu was even more surprised, he obviously heard a woman talking to him just now. He looked at the coffin in distraction, and felt that this place was full of mysterious and strange atmosphere.
"Do you think that demon will really be imprisoned in a coffin?" As soon as Lao Wu's words were finished, he cried out in a lost voice, "Stop, don't go and uncover that rune, it's a seal that imprisons the demon!" ”
Qi Lu turned around suddenly, and Lao Wu was surprised to see that his eyes were as red as blood, and his pupils were large and dull.
"You...... Evil? Before Lao Wu could react, Qi Lu suddenly flew up and kicked him off the platform.
"Oops, you're possessed by a youkai!" Lao Wu suddenly understood why Qi Lu was so abnormal, he quickly got up and ran towards Qi Lu on the platform, trying to stop him from opening the seal.
But it was too late, Qi Lu tore off the old rune in a wheezing sound, and then pushed the coffin lid open.
The panting sound suddenly stopped, and Qi Lu's expression instantly became extremely surprised. He saw a woman dressed in ancient costumes lying in the coffin, with a lifelike face, willow eyebrows and cherry lips, eyes closed, and black hair like silk satin hanging lightly on her chest. Except that her face was too pale, she was like a living person, as if the woman had just fallen asleep.
Qi Lu's eyes widened wider and wider, almost squeezing out of his sockets, because he finally saw the woman's face clearly, the face that haunted him!
"Are you crazy! Get back to the way we were, or we'll all be cursed by the gods! Lao Wu, who came forward, pushed Qi Lu away, and when he was about to re-close the coffin, he also saw the woman's face......
"It can't be!" Lao Wu's hand stopped in mid-air and hesitated, his expression was even more surprised than Qi Lu's.
At this moment, the woman sleeping in the coffin suddenly opened her eyes, staring at Qi Lu and Lao Wu without blinking.
"Huh...... Boom! Qi Lu called the name softly, crying silently.
A dark shadow was cast on the coffin from behind them, rippling like a wave of water. The woman in the coffin pursed her lips and smiled, and a golden light shot out of her eyes.
Qi Lu and Lao Wu were horrified to find that when the golden light shone through, their bodies were gradually decomposing.
"Not good!" The two of them suddenly realized that danger was coming, and just wanted to pinch the mantra, but suddenly found that the person had frozen, not only could not move his body, but he could not even say a word in his mouth.
