Chapter 292: The Burial Chamber
"Crackle Crackle"
Just as I was hesitating, I heard the sound of a squib bombing, it was very faint, and I was not sure if the source of the sound was far away.
"Wow"
The sound of rubble rolling down came from far and near, and we all fixed our eyes on the huge stone sculpture hovering around us, and looked up to see a pile of rocks in the sky falling through the layers of mist.
"Not good! The stone carving has collapsed! ”
I panicked and grabbed Satsuki's arm and ran away, when large pieces of rubble fell on the stone ground like a sporadic drizzle, bounced up and rolled down to a long distance.
"How? How could the seal of the Blue Dragon Holy Beast have been lifted? ”
Away from the danger zone, the demon looked at Satsuki with suspicion and questioned, but Satsuki hurriedly denied that she didn't do it, and she didn't know what was going on.
The demon obviously didn't believe it, and I hurriedly explained that since the Blue Dragon Seal had been opened, everyone present was suspicious, and we couldn't blame it all. And I don't know if someone was spying on our whereabouts, and then after learning that we broke the other three seals, we took the first step to open the Blue Dragon Seal and enter the ancient tomb.
After hearing this, the demon felt reasonable, temporarily let go of the knot, and urged: "Then we don't hurry up and act, all the hard work before the things are gone will be in vain!" ”
Xiao Yue was also worried about the change, and hurriedly summoned the Stygian Phoenix to prepare to turn back, and it was at this time that I found that the scene in front of me had changed, and this was no longer the previous time and space gap, but a dark space where I couldn't see my fingers.
"Satsuki? Daughter-in-law? ”
I screamed twice and no one responded, and I was a little scared, and I tried to scream a few more times, but I didn't hear her.
I fumbled out of my pocket and lit an ethereal fire head, and the only source of light at the moment, this small light source, made me recognize that it was a burial chamber.
At this moment I was lying on a large coffin, and the burial chamber was filled with funerary objects of various sizes that I could not name, most of the materials were bronze ceramics, and of course there were many exquisite treasures, each of which seemed to be old and valuable.
"How did I end up here? Was it all a dream before? But how do you explain the fire fold in my hand? I remember that this thing was obviously taken from Qin Ziying's family. ”
I pressed my head and couldn't think of a reason, so I had to muster up the courage to call Satsuki's name a few times, because I never believed that Satsuki would leave me alone.
But it was surprisingly quiet, and I still didn't hear anyone's response, and then I noticed that the luxurious coffin under me was carved with complex lines.
"Wait, this is the Mandarin Duck Knot?"
Because I had the experience of carving meat with a knife in the palm of my hand before, I still remember this pattern, so I quickly recognized that this thing was engraved on the coffin, but that was the way I communicated with Satsuki before, why is it engraved on this coffin now?
"What are you doing? Your daughter-in-law is sealed in this coffin, open it quickly! ”
I looked at the coffin and suddenly realized that the mandarin duck knot that I had known before was the town hall pattern that sealed the soul of the little moon. The reason why I was able to communicate with Satsuki's corpse was all because I used the way of blood sacrifice to make Satsuki's soul sense it through the coffin pattern.
"Where did you just go? Didn't I remember that we were going to turn back and join the big army? I asked.
The demon said disdainfully: "That's right, but they were all in the illusion before, and now that the four holy beasts have been broken and the seal has been unlocked, so the illusion realm has naturally disappeared, isn't it strange?" ”
"What about the others?" I asked.
The demon said impatiently, "Of course you entered the tomb like us. ”
I nodded, took out a dagger and carved a mandarin duck knot in the palm of my hand, as the flesh and blood gradually blurred in the palm of my hand, the lines on the coffin gradually emitted a red light.
"Daughter-in-law, how are you?"
Because the mandarin duck knot can communicate with the mind, I didn't speak. But this time there was an accident, Xiaoyue didn't give me any news, I panicked, could it be that Xiaoyue had an accident?
I held the character dagger back, and quickly and delicately picked off the intersection of the lines on the coffin, so that the first line could not be connected, and the two lines could not intersect.
In this way, thirty-six connection points were broken, and finally the coffin board was loosened with a "creak", and the demon saw it in his eyes, snorted and said, "The stinky boy knows a lot." ”
I glanced at her dissatisfied, "Yes, otherwise you wouldn't have asked me to light an ancient oil lamp for you." ”
The demon didn't show weakness either: "If it weren't for the fact that ghosts can't touch magic weapons, who would use you to do it?" ”
"Yo Yo, you're amazing, aren't you?"
I didn't want to argue with her, and then I thought of a question and asked, "By the way, why did you light the oil lamp and put Yang Xin in the coffin, what did you want to do at that time?" ”
The demon was not vague and directly said that she was because her body was sealed by the Liu family, so she wanted to borrow the corpse to return to the yang world, but then I had released my body for her, so she didn't need it now.
After hearing this, I pushed the lid of the coffin with both hands, but because the coffin was too heavy, it didn't move at all, which caused the demon to laugh at it: "Tsk, so little strength? Not as strong as my girl's family? ”
"I'm a human, are you a demon?" I couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but burst into foul language.
The demon was not angry, but laughed out loud: "But you are the Holy Monarch! ”
Now I can't open the coffin without the help of the Nightmare Demon, so I have to ask for help: "Yes, it's very bad for me, can you take a handle with a large number of old people now?" ”
"Yo, you're trying to get me to help? But are you asking for help? The demon twisted his waist and said contrivedly.
"What more do you want? Don't forget that there is a deal between us, and you are not here to work for nothing, why should the boss beg you in a low voice? I scolded justifiably.
The demon probably thought about immortality, so he didn't argue with me, but pushed the lid of the coffin and said, "What are you angry about?" Just kidding! ”
As the lid of the coffin opened, I was able to lie down, thinking that I could see Xiaoyue's delicate face sleeping soundly, but I didn't expect to see a pool of stinky blood with a strong and strange smell.
This blood is usually visceral blood that can suppress spiritual power, and the blood here exudes an unusual stench, so I believe that this blood has been specially processed, not an ordinary thing.
The old man who withdrew from the demon was afraid of getting it on his body, so he covered his nose and said, "This is called sealing water, that is, the strange fragrance on Xiaoyue's body in your mouth, why don't you feel fragrant now?" ”
"Sealed water?"
This is the first time I've heard this term, so I had to ask how to clean up this pool of smelly water.
