Chapter Twenty-Six: Drawing Talismans and Opening the Coffin
I hurriedly walked over and found that this layer of white wax was very familiar, very similar to the kind we encountered when we first came in, so I asked the seventh master, "Does this white wax also have fire oil and mechanisms in it?" ”
The Seventh Master nodded and said, "Fortunately, Huzi is excited, otherwise as soon as we open the Juyin coffin, the fire oil on the door of this tomb will burn, and if you want to go out at that time, I'm afraid it won't be so simple." After speaking, he glanced at Wang Chuyi.
Wang Chuyi immediately understood what the Seventh Master meant, and took out a plastic pipe from his backpack, which was less than one centimeter thick, with a hollow steel needle attached to one end, and the other end was pulled by Wang Chuyi and placed in the pool just now.
I probably understood what Wang Chuyi meant, and saw her holding the hollow steel needle and carefully inserting it into the ash layer, and after a while, I saw that the plastic pipe was filled with a dark yellow liquid, which should be the fire oil in the ash layer.
After about ten minutes, the fire oil in the ash layer was completely cleaned, and the seventh master slapped the ash suddenly, only to hear a crisp click, and the entire ash layer was completely shattered, and then I saw that there were two egg-sized flints in the ash layer that collided together, and the sparks splashed around, igniting the little fire oil remaining in the ash layer, and it took about ten seconds to extinguish.
Then I found that there was a stone door behind the ash layer, but this stone door looked very incongruous, about two meters high, and less than one meter wide, I estimated it, at most sixty centimeters, even if it was fully opened, it was only enough for one person to pass sideways.
"Damn, why is this door so narrow?" Huzi stepped forward and gestured with his hand, and leaned forward. ", Lao Tzu's figure may not be passable."
At this time, I noticed that there was an obvious spherical stone protruding from the wall on the right side of this stone door, and said, "Seventh Master, it seems that this should be the mechanism that opens this stone door." ”
The seventh master nodded, gave us a gesture, let me be careful, he reached out and pressed it inward, and pressed the stone ball into the wall, and then the stone door made a rumbling sound, only to see that there was an arm-thick iron chain at the top of the stone gate was slowly retracted, and the entire stone gate began to rise upward, this kind of stone gate that rose upwards is very rare in the tomb.
After the stone gate was completely raised, Huzi tried it sideways, although it was a little difficult, but he could barely squeeze through his stomach, and I saw him pass through the stone gate, so I reminded him: "Huzi, you just stay outside, in case you encounter some mechanism, your size is very inconvenient to run out." ”
Who knew that Huzi was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly squeezed his body back again, and said, "No, damn it, I have to see what treasures are in that coffin." ”
The seventh master and the first year also persuaded Huzi to wait outside first, but Huzi's stubborn temper didn't listen to anyone's words, and he didn't go out for anything, so he had to come to the Yin coffin together.
Looking at this Yin coffin, I felt a gust of yin wind, what is the mechanism of this very dangerous coffin in this record? Everyone doesn't know, even the seventh master, who has the most experience in tomb robbing, has met it for the first time.
The seventh master and the first two of them stood on both sides of the coffin, measured the length of the coffin with their hands, and then the seventh master scraped the soil in the gap between the coffin lid with his fingernails, put it under his nose and smelled it, his face became very bad, and said, "Damn, there is still a bloody corpse inside." ”
Wang Chuyi's face was also very bad, and the idea of opening the coffin seemed to be a little shaken, and said, "This bloody corpse is not an ordinary guy, if it is released, maybe we will all have to die here." ”
The seventh master said with a solemn face, "Let's open the outer coffin first, layer by layer, this Juyin coffin must have at least three layers of coffin, if there is an abnormality, we will stop immediately." ”
Wang Chu nodded in agreement, walked towards the southeast corner of the tomb, and then bent down and lit a candle.
The seventh master took out a stone inkstone from his arms and put it on the ground, then poured in two small bottles of dark red liquid mixed together, and then took out a brush from his arms, dipped it in the liquid, and began to write and draw around the coffin.
I am curious, this tomb robber has some ritual things when he opens the coffin, I know that Wang Chuyi belongs to the vein of touching the golden captain, whenever the golden captain digs up the tomb, he will light a candle in the southeast corner of the tomb underground palace, and then go to open the coffin, if the candle is extinguished in between, he must put back the property in his hand as it is, respectfully kowtow three heads, and return according to the original way.
And the seventh master's action I was very puzzled, hurriedly came up to see what he painted on the ground, only to see the seventh master of the pen like flying, the pen is vigorous and powerful, a row around the coffin to write a very ancient text, and is a stroke to write, I fixed my eyes to see, this ancient text just around the coffin for a week, there is no broken pen in the middle, the whole coffin is enclosed.
I observed carefully, and felt that when the seventh master raised the pen, those two words were very familiar, and after recalling carefully, I suddenly found that it was the two words of the edict! Looks like it's a talisman! So he hurriedly asked, "Seventh Master, what kind of talisman did you write?" ”
The seventh master glanced at me, and said with a sigh, "Do you recognize?" ”
At this time, I didn't dare to show off, and to tell the truth, "I only recognize the first two words, which should be an edict, which is the starting style of Taoist charms." ”
The Seventh Master nodded and said, "This is written in ancient characters, it is the Imperial Decree, the general is here." As he spoke, he took two steps forward, wrote a big 'gang' character in front of the stone gate, and then said to me, "Learn a little." ”
I nodded again and again, there are very few people who can use this kind of charm, it is said that before the appearance of the golden captain, some people used it again, but it was not used to rob the tomb, but it was used to suppress the corpse, also called the corpse suppression charm, I didn't expect the seventh master to have such a unique craft, I looked at the ancient texts around the coffin seriously, and remembered them one by one.
The seventh master took out a card-like card from his arms, gently placed it on the coffin lid, and then put his hands together and made a wave, and then glanced at Wang Chuyi, and the two began to move the top cover of the coffin.
At this time, I saw clearly that the person drawn on this card was a person, and I still knew this person, it was Zhong Kui, who was catching ghosts in the underworld.
I saw that the two of them had exhausted their strength, and the lid of the coffin was still unmoved, so the seventh master beckoned me and Huzi to help together, and at the moment when I put my hands on the lid of the coffin, I only felt a sudden cold in my palms, and then a tingling sensation came, as if an electric shock, so frightened that I quickly retracted my hand again.
"Why does this coffin still look like it's electrified?" I asked Huzi in a whisper.
"No? Don't give the fuck and scare yourself. "Huzi doesn't seem to have any unusual feelings, I wonder if it's really me hallucinating? Then I gently put my hand on the lid of the coffin, but the feeling I had just now never appeared again, and I didn't pay much attention to it.
The seventh master shouted a sentence one, two, three, we worked together, and I heard the coffin lid creak, and it was pushed open a gap, and suddenly I felt the cold tingling sensation just now coming again, this time it felt very real, and I was so scared that I hurriedly retreated.
