Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Fire
Just when I wondered if Jiang Lina was going to cheat the corpse, Prince Jian suddenly said, "If I help you, I will help myself." ”
Prince Jian's expression was melancholy, and he eased again, "I suspect that my death is a game made by Tang Tian." ”
"Do you have proof?" I asked.
"Nope. But I just feel weird, the day I died, the devil sent the gods. and Jiang Lina, who is not really married at all, I didn't even touch her hand, I only knew that she was trapped in the corpse. It must have been planned step by step by Tang Tian. And, most importantly, I'm imprisoned here now, and I can't go anywhere. ”
After listening to his words, the old driver suddenly realized a little, "No wonder I feel that the placement of this coffin and stone pier is a little strange, looking at this form like a ghost marriage, but in fact it is not." ”
"What do you mean?" I listened to the two of them, you and me, but I was confused.
"It means that it is possible that Tang Tian is just doing the appearance of a ghost marriage, but in fact, he just wants to keep two more little ghosts in captivity, and by the way, cheat another money for a ghost marriage." The old driver said.
"I see." But what's the use of saying this, I asked, "You two have been talking for so long, but what do you do now?" We can't just huddle up here all the time. ”
"As long as there's fire."
After listening to Prince Jian, I took out the box of matches again, and there were only five left.
Let's give it a try.
Everyone's eyes widened, their heads bowed, and they stared at the match in my hand.
I scratched one, but it didn't work.
Immediately after that, another one was drawn.
Suddenly, a spark lit up.
Everyone's eyes looked like they were about to catch fire, but the match went out in an instant.
"Ugh." Looks like I'm going to die here, I sighed.
Xiao Gao looked at us with a dejected look and asked weakly, "Do you want fire?"
"Do you need to ask?" I didn't have the heart to say it.
Xiao Gao took the matchbox in my hand, pulled one out of it, and swiped it gently.
"Poof", on!
And the fire is very big! It's like holding a torch.
The small, dark space suddenly brightened as day.
And the fire is getting bigger and bigger, and it's about to set fire to all of us.
I was so shocked that I couldn't close my mouth and gave her a thumbs up.
The old driver and Prince Jian were also full of excitement.
The old driver said, "Get out of here and burn them." ”
As I opened the lid of the coffin, I took the match.
But when I had just taken the match from the little master's hand, all of a sudden, it went out!
Frightened, I quickly closed the coffin.
What's going on?
Is this match so bizarre? Do you recognize the master?
The old driver and I couldn't help but be suspicious.
Only then did I take a closer look at the box of matches, and I saw that the texture inside the box was extremely exquisite, depicting intricate and exquisite patterns and totems, and colorful.
How could an ordinary matchbox go to great lengths to make these decorations? The cost is not enough.
The old driver also leaned his face over, stared at it carefully for a while, and then looked at Xiao Gao, "Where did you get your matches?" ”
"Tattooed man, on the body." Xiao Gao was stunned by the old driver, and said in a hurry.
"I'll tell you." The old driver patted his head, "This is not a match in the sun, we can't light it." ”
"What do you mean?" Does Hades need fire?
"This is not a match in the underworld, you know, according to the laws of the underworld, fire is not allowed below." The old driver picked up a match, put it to his nose and sniffed it.
"It belongs to the yin and yang transition, and only people who are half yin and half yang can use it." The old driver looked at Xiao Gao again.
Only then did I realize that Xiao Gao had a special physique, so he could light a match, "But, what's the use of this match?" ”
"Of course it worked! It can even be said to be priceless! The old driver's eyes flashed, "All the treasures that the underworld wants to get will be burned to them by the people of the yang world." ”
"But in many cases, even if it is burned out, it may not be obtained. But this match is different, as long as it is burned with this match, the ghosts of the underworld will definitely be able to obtain it. ”
"Why can't you get an ordinary fire below after it's burned?" I always thought that I could get something by burning in the underworld.
"Humph! Burn those foolish paper houses and paper people, do you think you can get them below? It's all said to be a fool. ”
I was confused, "I still don't understand much." ”
When Prince Jian's ghost heard the old driver's words, there was a look of excitement on his face, and he looked at the box of matches and said, "My dad burned a lot of houses and money for me, and I watched from the side, but I didn't get any hair." It turned out that it was because the fire was wrong. ”
After listening to Prince Jian's words, it suddenly dawned on me that this thing is indeed a treasure, especially for those who specialize in buying and selling between yin and yang, but it's a pity that I just wasted so much.
"Then can this fire deal with Tang Tian and those Gu eggs?" I asked.
"This fire is half yin and half yang, it should be okay." The old driver said, "It's just that I can only let Xiao Gao do a little." ”
At this moment, there was a burst of sounds hitting the coffin board, and some small bee-like sounds came.
They're coming in.
The old driver said that the effect of the five poison charms had expired, and he just lit a match and rushed out.
I gave the match to Kodaka and looked at her with expectant eyes, "It's all up to you!" ”
Xiao Gao nodded and hummed at us.
The old driver and I worked together to lift the lid of the coffin, and just as we were about to get up, we saw that the fragmented organs had turned into meat paste, and all the Gu eggs attached to the meat paste were flying in the air.
The flesh was still dripping blood on the ground.
The smell of blood is accompanied by a foul stench, which makes people feel extremely disgusting.
There was an eerie aura in the air.
Seeing them coming towards us, I shouted to Xiao Gao, "Quick! ”
Xiao Gao's body, which was originally curled up in the coffin, straightened up, with a stunned expression, as if nothing happened, "Quick, what, what." ”
Damn, this IQ doesn't work, I just thought she understood, and it seems that she can't say a word.
I saw that there were already a lot of Gu eggs on my shoulders, and I just wanted to play them with my hands, but I didn't expect them to crawl up to my neck.
I trembled, nervously and almost roared at Xiao Gao, "Light the match!" ”
After Xiao Gao listened, he knew what to do, and with a "poof", a fiery red glow of dazzling light emanated from Xiao Gao's hand.
The flames on the match were like a giant beast with teeth and claws, biting at those fleshy mud and Gu eggs, and the fire spread more and more, and the air crackled.
The few Gu eggs around my neck were also burned by the spreading flames, and I stomped my feet hotly.
And all around us there was a raging fire, wafting in the air.
The old driver and I were afraid of being burned to death, so we quickly hid in the corner.
The flesh and mud also seemed to be sentient, struggling in pain, and fled in all directions when they saw the fire, and some jumped around, until they were all burned out, and the fire slowly weakened.
The air was filled with the eerie smell of roasted meat, and some of it smelled like roasted cocoons.
At that moment, a dark figure burst out of a mass of burnt meat in the corner!
