Chapter Forty-Three: Miserable
A ball of fire crept through the dark locust woods, and Kukai sweated as he walked, holding a torch in one hand and his robe in the other, with two shovels tied behind him.
As soon as he stepped into the clearing, he saw three corpses lying on the ground, and couldn't help asking, "What's going on?" Where did they come from? ”
Needless to say, the blood clotted and seeped into the dirt.
As if he had seen a savior, Bai Lotian hurriedly explained: "These three people should have hurriedly climbed up after seeing us get off the carriage, thinking that we had found some treasure, but they were killed by the demon cat." ”
Su Cheng didn't give any explanation, but jumped on top of the tombstone and said to the two of them: "Stop talking nonsense, let's dig the grave quickly!" ”
"Wait! Kukai, you are a monk, can you recite a sutra of rebirth to the concubine and the three of them before excavating to protect them from reincarnation? ”
"Chanting is of no use to the deceased, because it is no longer acceptable. But if reciting sutras for the living can reassure you, I'll just recite a paragraph. ”
The space on the tombstone is very small, and Su Cheng can stand on it with four feet just right, "Their souls have been eaten by me, and they have no next life." If you don't dig quickly, beware that you won't have the next life! ”
"Forget it." Bai Lotian didn't dare to contradict Su Cheng, so he resigned himself to his fate and took the shovel and began to dig the soil next to the tombstone with the tip of the spade.
Fortunately, it rained and the soil was loose, otherwise Bai Lotian had never done farm work and would not have been able to work hard at all.
After a while, his hand, which had been digging with a shovel, suddenly stopped when he pressed down hard, and it looked as if it was stuck in the dirt and could not be pulled out.
"Huh?"
Bai Lotian glanced at the shallow pit that had been dug less than two feet indifferently, and suddenly let out a loud cry and quickly retreated backwards.
"What's wrong?" Kukai stopped digging on his own.
"Look at the ...... in this pit"
"Nothing."
"When I was digging just now, a white hand suddenly stretched out from inside the soil and grabbed the shovel, and the strength was very strong!"
Su Cheng had been working as an overseer, and after hearing the conversation here, he slipped down from the tombstone, came to the shallow pit, injected demonic power into his forefoot, and then stretched out his claws and slashed hard.
A white hand suddenly stretched out from the dirt, wanting to grab Su Cheng's claws!
Bai Lotian shouted "wow" next to him, "This is it!" ”
It's a pity that the white hand underestimated Su Cheng's strength and the sharpness of his claws, and it was directly broken and broken into several sections.
However, no blood came out, neatly.
A few locust roots fell on the edge of the shallow pit, and the white hands were transformed by the roots of the surrounding locust trees!
"Alright, let's keep digging now. This is to prevent the concubine's grave from being dug up. ”
Kukai glanced at Su Cheng silently, and the doubts in his heart became more and more, the more he looked at this demon cat, the more wrong it became. Obviously, it had said that it was the same as the concubine's life, and it could almost be concluded that it was always by the concubine's side, but it didn't seem to be very familiar with the tomb and the surrounding environment.
However, his digging action did not stop, and the speed was much faster than Bai Letian.
If it weren't for the fact that it was a crime to dig up the tomb of the concubine, both of them wanted to find someone to do it for them, and digging the soil was really a hard job.
"Looks like you've dug up something again!"
Kukai churned his shovel and carefully pushed the dirt away, revealing a sarcophagus in the pit.
Bai Lotian knelt at the mouth of the pit with his hands and knees, looking down at the sarcophagus, the firelight swaying on the surface of the sarcophagus.
"Do you really want to open it and take a look?"
He didn't know if he could withstand the outcome.
Decades is enough time for a beauty to turn into white bones!
"Let's go."
Kuhai and Bai Lotian continued to dig to the side, while Su Cheng fully unfolded his divine sense, and he knew that the demon cat White Dragon would never miss the opportunity for him and others to open the coffin.
Sticking the shovel between the coffin and the lid, Kukai used all his strength to move the gap in the coffin lid wider, and then pushed the lid to the side with Bai Lotian.
"Nothing?!"
Bai Letian was shocked with a hint of joy, could it be that Yang Yuhuan really didn't die at that time, but let the palace maid replace him?
The sarcophagus was empty, and some were just handfuls or two of dirt that fell when the lid was lifted.
"It's exactly what it says." Kukai glanced at the black cat on the tombstone, and he had already predicted that this might happen.
However, Bai Lotian covered his mouth at this moment, let out a beast-like moan of "Hmm", pointing to the coffin lid that had just been pushed out of the pit, his eyes were red!
The coffin lid was placed at Su Cheng's feet face up, his eyes were sharp, and he suddenly saw the patterns and scratches on the inside of the lid that he didn't know what they were.
Looks very familiar.
reminded him of when he was still in Wancheng, the resentful spirit of the doctor Wu Siming was attached to Chen Yuanwai's corpse, and it seemed that he had left such traces in the coffin lid with his fingernails little by little!
It's just that it was a wooden coffin at that time, and at the same time, the strength of the corpse was also greatly increased with the blessing of the resentful spirit, and it didn't take much effort to lift the coffin lid.
These numerous brown scratches were bloodstains.
It's the person who was put in the sarcophagus, trying to escape from the outside, and desperately scratching the traces inside the coffin!
Even if the nails are detached, even if the blood is leaking out, he still does not give up, and he is stunned to leave such a mark on the stone coffin lid.
Bai Letian's throat was so choked that he couldn't speak, he didn't dare to imagine how long Yang Yuhuan had been fighting for his life in the sarcophagus under the dirt.
That's a creepy picture!
Like Xuanzong's royal cat, he was buried alive.
Even Su Cheng had to let out a low sigh, "Alas..."
Bai Lotian suddenly turned his head to Kukai and said, "If I die, don't put me in a coffin, it's better to burn it directly." ”
"Okay, got it."
Kukai directly agreed to come down.
This scene left a serious psychological shadow on both of them!
Did Yang Yuhuan know that he would wake up in the coffin, how long would he wait before he died after waking up, how could a weak woman push the lid of the coffin buried in the soil open?
Panic, helplessness, crying, roaring, cursing, despair, these emotions can be seen in the scratches of the coffin lid.
The beauty of the country and the fragrance of the country, the concubine of the Tang Dynasty, the final ending was buried alive here!
Bai Lotian felt that he was about to run out of breath, and he would rather have Gao Lishi really hang the concubine in Ma Weiyi than put her in a coffin and fake her death.
Fake death is treated as real death!
"Does His Majesty Xuanzong know about this? Why did the concubine fake her death? The grief made Bai Lotian forget Su Cheng's horror, and he stood up directly and roared loudly, wanting to know more of the truth.
