Chapter Fifty-Six: Opening the Coffin and Twin Phoenix Blood

"The snow kite girl knows a lot" Qiao Er tied the square scarf around his neck to his face, covered his mouth and nose, beckoned Wang Tiehammer, and prepared to open this sarcophagus.

This sarcophagus is closer, the coffin lid is engraved with many symmetrical patterns, it looks like it should be a totem, the middle pattern is round, it looks like a snake, but this snake does not have a head. Something was missing. In the center of the serpent is a groove the size of a bowl.

The circular pattern of the sarcophagus lid is surrounded by some strange textures, like a reef that has been baptized by time, uneven, but these textures are combined together to become a pattern like words.

Qiao Erliang and Wang Tie Hammer pushed for a long time, so that the sarcophagus did not move at all

"Slow" Snow Kite pressed the sarcophagus with his sword, "I don't ask for anything else, if it is really a merman inside, I will take it away, and the treasure will be yours if you don't move."

"This can't be done, in case there is a thousand-year-old submarine zongzi left in it, wouldn't we come for nothing." Wang Tiehammer expressed his opinion before Qiao Erliang could speak.

Xiao Feiying looked at Qiao Erliang and fell silent suddenly, the mermaid is rare, the legend of thousands of years was discovered by the four of them by mistake, since the avalanche was killed, Qiao Erliang disappeared, and then was calculated by Liu Suifeng, how could he suddenly meet her snow kite? Why didn't my father say anything to me about my twin sister? Snow Kite and Shen Gong Leopard have always been out and thou together, why is it that only her Snow Kite is flying solo this time? Many doubts flashed through Xiao Feiying's mind, and she quickly drew her sword and hit the sword that Snow Kite had placed on the sarcophagus

"It's not open, because it's all your trap"

"Anyway," Snow Kite struck the sword back

"You didn't hear from him after you left last time, but you rescued Qiao when the second brother had an accident, and led us all the way to this weak water river, it was you who jumped down, you were the one who knew that something was wrong, you were the one who opened the mechanism, and you were the one who could understand the story in the mural, until now the museum is about to open, and you propose that as long as the shark is a merman, doesn't this prove that you can't come to this point alone, call us, it's to pay tribute to this water ghost!"

"Well, I'll tell you why I'm here!" Snow Kite rolled up her sleeves, revealing large and small scars on her arms, most of which were on her wrists. "Do you know why we were born to be separated?! Do you think it's really like Lin Guizang's old man said, my mother died in childbirth! No!! The snow kite's voice was suddenly serious, and its pitch reverberated through the burial chamber.

"What you don't know, I'll tell you slowly. But what you must know today is that I, and your blood, are the best sacrifices underground! The snow kite gritted its teeth, threw its sword with its sleeves, and said with its back to the little warbler

"I'm for Shen Zheng, oh no, Shen Gongbao, I'm here to find this merman. Only the elixir refined by the merman's grease can keep him alive. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, Shen Gongbao used to drink your blood to sustain it" Qiao Erliang stood aside at a loss, and finally interjected a sentence. He really didn't understand that two women could quarrel in such a race against time.

"Oh, two aunts and grandmothers, we have all experienced so many difficulties together, you two are sisters, a family, we have to fight and scold, and then we will talk about it, now it's time...." looked at the snow kite again, and the resentment and murderous aura in his eyes were eager to split him in half.

"You actually think that I came to Qiao Erliang to let him come to the funeral?! I was looking for him so I could find you! The snow kite pushed away Wang Tiehammer and rushed to the little warbler with one arrow step.

"You mean to say that only my blood and your blood can open this coffin?"

"Do you see the blood stains at the bottom of this groove?" the snow kite pointed to the groove in the sarcophagus and then to the top of the tomb. "The blood dripped from above, and the coffin could only be opened when the bowl was full."

"But these blood stains are almost dry," Wang Tiehammer and Qiao Erliang stepped forward to study the groove, as if it was really like what the snow kite said, like a weight device.

"Can't pretend to be anything else? What if it's filled with water? Or is it someone else's blood? Wang Tiehammer stretched out his hand and touched the blood stains that had been dried in the stone trough.

"These Shen Gong Leopards have tried. He said that the tomb was learned from a villager who had been fishing in the South China Sea for generations during the Qin period, and that this was one of the six places where the mermaids were buried. So he went to the tomb in the South China Sea. The tomb of the merman was built by the fishermen, but the fishermen have long since driven out the merman, and this tomb was built for fear that the merman clan would make waves and endanger the lives of the people in the village. Sharks are bloodthirsty, but the blood of mortals in the yang world will not be useful."

"So, the blood of the extreme yin...."The little flying warbler didn't say more, there were indeed many things that the snow kite couldn't explain to herself, but her sense was very clear, and in the sarcophagus, what was lying was what she wanted. So he lifted the sword and wiped it with his hand, and there was a bright red cut in the center of his palm, which dripped into the stone trough. The snow kite also cut the palm of her hand with a knife without saying a word, and held the hand of the little flying warbler.

After a while, the blood in the stone trough slowly extended, which made the four of them see clearly that the seal on the sarcophagus seemed to be written in a text pattern, with eight big characters written on it, which roughly means: "Evil spirit seal, open the coffin will die"

"Clean up those scaremongers" Wang Tiehammer turned his head to look at Qiao Erliang, Qiao Erliang had a word in his mouth, and then motioned for Wang Tiehammer to push open the sarcophagus together

As soon as they pushed it away, the stone slab under their feet began to shake violently, and stones began to fall from the surrounding walls and the roof of the tomb, and they could only hear a "Stop!" from the hole where they came. When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be the red-eyed demon queen under the command of Liu Suifeng, the king of Chujiang, and she and several black-clothed people came to the stone platform in the middle in three or five steps, and they couldn't help but come with a sword at the four of them.

Seeing that the comer was not good, Snow Kite glanced at Qiao Erliang, then drew his sword and fought with the red-eyed demon queen, the black-clothed people next to the red-eyed demon queen were not vegetarians, and quickly surrounded the sarcophagus, it seems that they are also looking for this merman.

When Wang Tiehammer came, he carried a pair of unicorn axes, but he was detained when he passed Qingfeng Gang. In desperation, he had to take out a short blade that was very uneasy to play with them.

Xiao Feiying ran over to help Qiao Erliang push open the sarcophagus. The cold air inside overflowed, and after a burst of smoke, sure enough, it was a shark inside, Qiao Erliang had never seen a shark, and it could only be said that there was a half-human and half-fish monster lying in this sarcophagus, and the body was well preserved, looking at the face of a relatively delicate young man, with a handsome face and clear eyebrows, but looking down, he was barefoot, and his toes were strangely long, and there was a webbed-like skin between each toe. Looking at the dress of this young man should be from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, no wonder Shen Gongbao also wants to look for these mermaids, this corpse is so well preserved, it seems that those myths are still somewhat credible.

"Second brother, you see, the blood on his lips can't be the blood of me and the snow kite just now, right?" There were a few drops of bright red blood on the merman's white lips, and Xiao Feiying took out a bag as she spoke, which was a silver hairpin carved and engraved about two inches long, which was specially cast by Qiao Erliang, which could not only test the poison, but also be used to pry open the mouths of these zongzi. Usually some powerful families, or some high-ranking nobles, will hide some treasures under their tongues, hoping that they can be reincarnated as rich and noble people in the next life.

This shark's lips bulged slightly, there must be something special. Qiao Erliang hurriedly pried it open, and sure enough, it was a night pearl similar to a snow kite. Qiao Erliang remembered what the strange man said to him, there is an antidote at the bottom of this weak water river, but how can it be a night pearl?

"Found the second brother!" At the same time, the snow kite touched the merman's purse, which contained some powdered things, which should be the so-called antidote to the cold poison on Qiao Erliang's body. In addition, this merman has a sword on his body and a jade belt around his waist.

As soon as Qiao Erliang put away the beads and purse, the snow kite turned around and threw a glass jar at him, asking Qiao Erliang to cut off a piece of sebum on the merman's chest and take it away.

"I'm sorry brother" Qiao Erliang lifted the merman's clothes, but found that there was a key hanging around his neck, he quickly untied the key and put it in his arms, and cut off the sebum on his chest with a dagger. The merman's body began to decompose at a speed visible to the naked eye, emitting a burst of fishy smell.

At this time, the snow kite and the red-eyed demon queen were even more inseparable, and Wang Tiehammer was constantly urging, "Qiao Erliang, are you okay, do you still have to wait for that water dumpling to wake up?!! ”

Wang Tiehammer said and knocked a man in black off the stone platform, only to see that the man fell into the water, and the strange fish in the waterhole rushed up and tore apart after a while, leaving only a few pieces of rags on his body. Suddenly, everyone only felt a shaking, and before they could react, the boulder on the top began to fall in large pieces, and the water in the river began to rush in, because the water pressure continued to increase, and the entire tomb was about to be flooded in an instant. The strange fish in the water was even more interested, and fluttered and twisted and jumped to the top of the stone platform, where the water surface was already higher than the stone platform, and everyone no longer continued to fight, but thought about how to quickly escape from this underwater hell.

The little flying warbler always felt that someone was staring at him, but he couldn't find where that feeling came from, but when he looked back, the merman sat up in a daze, staring at the little flying warbler with empty eyes.

Qiao Erliang looked bad, this zongzi really woke up, or because of the water, this tomb should have been made dry to prevent the merman from waking up. But now the sarcophagus is also halfway filled with water. Just thinking about what to do, the red-eyed demon queen rushed to the little flying warbler and wanted to sneak attack her, snatching the glass box in her hand, which was the sebum of the merman, and when she was snatching it with the little flying warbler, the bricks on the top fell down with a bang, and everyone didn't have time to dodge, so they were scattered by the turbulent waves. In an instant, the tomb was flooded.

The strange fish in the water are like crazy and bite everyone, even if they are agile, they are not as fast as this fish in the water. The king swam to the top of the tomb and kicked the zenith with all his might, and everyone swam out with them. The snow kite was about to chase after everyone, and he caught a glimpse of a figure flying towards the little warbler, and when he looked closely, the figure was dressed in a plain robe, no shoes and socks, but a pair of flippers, isn't this the shark who was lying in the coffin just now!! The little flying warbler not only held his night pearl, but also took a piece of skin that Qiao Erliang had ripped off from him, and the snow kite hurriedly sped up and caught up with the merman. Who knew that the merman saw the snow kite approaching, picked up the sword in his hand and stabbed at the snow kite, the snow kite dodged in time, but the left arm was slashed with a sword, and the red blood spread in the river. The snow kite swam hard all at once, and its movements slowed down a lot. She took out a night pearl from her neckline, which was given to her by Shen Gongbao, and she thought it should have been stolen from other mermaid tombs. The merman saw that the snow kite also had the same night pearl tied around her neck, hesitated for a moment, and gradually approached the snow kite, the snow kite saw the merman gradually approaching, threw down the sword in her hand to show that there was no malice, and when the merman was less than a foot away from her, she took out a dagger and stabbed the merman's heart fiercely. But she also felt a sharp pain, and looked down to see that her abdomen was also injured by the merman's sword. As soon as it was dark, he sank to the bottom of the sea.
