Chapter 9: Tomb Horror
There was a muffled sound, and the strange snake with thick legs flew and hit the roof, and then fell heavily on a kneeling stone figure, and then rolled down from the stone man to the ground, and lay straight on the ground and no longer moved.
This happened in an instant, and the other three people almost didn't see it clearly, and after a few seconds, Xiao Laodao first came back to his senses, laughed a few times, and gave a thumbs up to my grandfather, "Dragon Slayer, it really deserves its name!" β
My grandfather didn't say a word, let go of his shoulders, and walked towards the strange snake with a short sword, Xiao Laodao immediately instructed Xiao Shiyi and Xiao Chujiu, "Don't come here, both of you, pack up the treasure in the coffin, and leave here quickly." β
When Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi heard this, they turned around and ran towards the coffin. My grandfather walked up to the strange snake, looked at the strange snake a few times, and saw the ghost, his mouth slightly open, his eyes slightly closed, and his body was straight and motionless, as if he was dying. Xiao Laodao also came over at this time, looked at the strange snake, and said to my grandfather: "Brother Liu's kung fu is really good, he kicked this thing half to death, if it weren't for Brother Liu, I'm afraid I would have been the soul of this beast, brother, I thank you, brother." β
"Brother Xiao doesn't have to be polite." My grandfather asked, "Brother Xiao, you said before that it wasn't a snake, so do you know what it is?" β
Xiao Laodao raised his hand and pointed to the coffin, and asked instead of answering: "Brother, do you remember the plate and beads just now?" β
My grandfather nodded slightly, and Xiao Laodao continued: "That plate is not an ordinary plate, it has a origin, called 'Soul Gathering Plate', when the deceased is buried, the plate is placed on the deceased's small belly, and the deceased is put into the coffin together, and then, add rootless water to the plate, that is, rainwater, and then put the beads in, the cyan bead is also famous, called 'Soul Bead', in order to introduce the soul of the deceased into the plate, and after the soul enters the plate, the 'Soul Gathering Plate' at this time is not called 'Soul Gathering Plate', called' Hualong Pool', the soul will chase the 'Dementor Bead' in the water, this, there is also a famous hall, called 'Dragon Playing Bead'......"
"So what's the use of that?" When Xiao Laodao said this, my grandfather couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Laodao smiled, "Brother, listen to me and tell you, when the rootless water on the plate is dried up, the first thunder of the sting sounds, and the deceased will turn into a dragon and break out of the coffin." β
"What?" My grandfather was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief, "What does Brother Xiao mean...... Can that plate and bead turn a dead man into a dragon? How is this possible! β
Xiao Laodao said: "I don't know if I can turn into a dragon, as for this soul gathering disk and soul beads, I also listened to some seniors, if I didn't see the symbol at the bottom of the plate, I wouldn't be sure, but at the moment, I can be sure." As he spoke, Xiao Laodao pointed at the strange snake on the ground, "This thing is the soul of that dead man!" β
My grandfather was stunned again, looked at the strange snake on the ground, and asked again in disbelief: "Brother Xiao, according to your meaning...... Is this a dragon? β
Xiao Laodao hurriedly waved his hand: "Brother Liu, you are known as the dragon slayer, can you not know what the dragon looks like?" This is not a dragon, this is just an evil that failed to turn into a dragon, I heard those predecessors say that ghosts who can't turn into dragons won't live long, and as soon as the rootless water on the plate dries up, the soul will disperse, but this thing ......"
Xiao Laodao pondered for a moment, turned his head and glanced in the direction of the entrance of the cave, and then said: "This thing has not been dispersed for a hundred years, I am afraid it has something to do with the incense offerings outside, those big monks in the temple burn incense and worship in front of the murals all day long, and they should have supplied this thing with the power of the gods." When Xiao Laodao said this, the strange snake on the ground actually moved slightly, as if it was said by Xiao Laodao.
Seeing this, my grandfather picked up the short sword and was about to chop the strange snake in two, Xiao Laodao hurriedly stopped him, "Brother can't, the things in the ancient tomb are different from the outside, especially like this kind of tomb of dignitaries, all of them have been repeatedly seen by the most brilliant feng shui masters, pay attention to the harmony of yin and yang, feng shui and fengshui, what is the cave land, a good cave is the 'qi eye' of the mountains and rivers in this area, the dead are buried in the air eye, just played the role of yin and yang harmony, wind and water, especially the living creatures in the tomb, living in the tomb for hundreds of years, It is already connected with the mountains and rivers here, if we kill it, it will lead to confusion of qi and yin and yang here, and the consequences are unimaginable! β
After Xiao Laodao finished his tirade, he looked up at the coffin and asked Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi, "Are you all packed, okay and leave here quickly." β
"That's it, Master." Xiao Chujiu replied, my grandfather glanced at the two of them, the two of them were squatting next to the stone coffin, busy packing up their baggage, obviously they had already scavenged the treasures in the coffin.
At this moment, the strange snake on the ground actually moved again, Xiao Laodao saw this, and frowned slightly, "It seems that this thing is about to slow down, so we can only suppress it first!" As he spoke, Xiao Laodao took off the small burden on his back and took out a palm-sized piece of yellow paper from it.
My grandfather glanced at the yellow paper, and there was a dark red figure drawn on it like a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing, of course this thing was recognized by the grandfather, this is a cinnabar yellow charm, it should be a demon suppression charm, or evil suppression charm.
Xiao Laodao squatted down with the yellow talisman, stretched out his hand and pressed it towards the head of the strange snake, and at this time, the strange snake actually opened his eyes with a "Teng", and a pair of blood-red eyes emitted a cold light. This made Xiao Laodao unexpected, and the hand holding the yellow talisman suddenly trembled, and he seemed to want to take it back, but it was too late.
The strange snake opened his big mouth, suddenly bounced up from the ground, and went straight to Xiao Laodao's throat, Xiao Laodao was squatting on the ground at this time, less than two feet away from the strange snake, and it was too late to hide, but there was also my grandfather next to him, my grandfather's hands and eyes were fast, the strange snake had just bounced off the ground, and my grandfather raised his feet, but instead of kicking the strange snake, he kicked towards Xiao Laodao on the ground.
With a "poof", Xiao Laodao kicked Xiao Laodao to the ground, and at the same time, the body of the strange snake swept over Xiao Laodao with a "whoosh", which made Xiao Laodao break out in a cold sweat.
My grandfather quickly turned around, swung the short sword and slashed, "brushed" the ground, and before the strange snake landed, the short sword slashed on the tail of the strange snake, and the strange snake writhed a few times in the air, and fell to the ground with a string of black water.
"Sizzleββ!"
The strange snake angrily stuck out its tongue at my grandfather, ignoring the wound on its tail, bounced up and pounced on my grandfather, this time, it didn't open its mouth to bite, but used its flat head to slam into my grandfather's chest.
Seeing this, my grandfather didn't even use a short sword, and his body didn't even move, when he saw the strange snake hit his eyes, he suddenly punched out, and the fist and the head collided together, and there was a terrifying sound of broken bones.
"Brother, are you alright?" Xiao Laodao screamed worriedly.
My grandfather smiled faintly and withdrew his fist without changing his face, and at the same time, the strange snake fell to the ground limply.
Xiao Laodao got up from the ground, approached the strange snake to take a look, and exclaimed, "Brother, you, did you beat it to death?" β
I saw a fist-sized depression on the head of the strange snake, and there was a puddle of black water inside, and the two eyes of the strange snake were forced to squeeze out of the eye sockets because of the pressure, hanging on both sides of the head, very terrifying, and the mouth was slightly open, with the nervous convulsions of the body, a string of black water was spitting, as if it was pouring gas, and it seemed that it could not live.
Xiao Laodao looked at it, and pulled my grandfather hard, "Brother, this time you are in a big trouble, go with my brother!" β
At this time, Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi also packed up their burdens, and Xiao Laodao greeted the two of them again, "Hurry up, or you won't be able to get out!" β
As soon as Xiao Laodao's voice fell, he saw the black water spit out by the strange snake on the ground, and black smoke rose up, Xiao Laodao was shocked when he saw this, and pulled up my grandfather and ran to the door of the stone room.
My grandfather didn't understand what was going on, he was staggered by Xiao Laodao, and after running out a few steps, he couldn't help but glance back at the strange snake on the ground, just this glance, my grandfather was stunned, and I saw that the strange snake was full of black smoke at this time, and a large inexplicable black mist was condensing above the strange snake's body.
Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi rushed up from behind with their burdens, and Xiao Laodao pushed my grandfather hard, "You and them go first, I'll come back!" "Who is my grandfather, how can he let others cushion him, let Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi, and Xiao Laodao run behind, "You go first, I'll come behind." β
Xiao Laodao glanced at my grandfather, didn't say a word, and when a few people ran to the door of the stone room, the black mist condensed into a ball the size of a calf, and rushed towards a few people.
Xiao Laodao glanced back, gritted his teeth and said to my grandfather, "Stop this thing, whether we can survive or not, it depends on whether we can stop it!" β
My grandfather asked suspiciously, "What is this black gas?" β
Xiao Laodao said quickly: "This is the aura formed by the soul of the deceased, the strange snake just now is the entity condensed by the soul of the deceased, after the entity dies, the soul is gone, only a mass of aura remains, as long as it does not leave the tomb, the aura will not disperse, if it goes out, the consequences are unimaginable!" β
While speaking, the black gas floated behind the two people, at this time, Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi had already run out of the stone room door and got into the cave, Xiao Laodao pulled my grandfather, and the two of them turned around at the same time and blocked the stone room door side by side.
The black gas quickly floated to the front of the two of them, Xiao Laodao suddenly shouted, threw the dust in his hand towards the black gas, "brushed" the ground, the dust swept through the middle of the black gas, and cut a ball of black gas into two balls, however, it didn't seem to have any effect, my grandfather saw this, and slashed the short sword sideways towards the two balls of black gas, and the two balls of black gas were suddenly cut into four balls, but it didn't have any effect.
Xiao Laodao's face suddenly changed color.
