Chapter 39: Picking Up the Corpse
The scene of the bald-tailed monkey being dragged into the coffin by the zombie was so fast that people had no room to think about it, Partridge Whistle and others only felt a flower in front of them on the tree, and then they heard a few screams of the old monkey before death came out of the purple gold coffin, and Partridge Whistle was worried that the cave barbarian guide would be frightened but shouted loudly, and quickly pressed his mouth covered with black gauze with his hand.
The group of monkeys gathered in the forest were also frightened on the spot, and their eyes were all thrown to the purple gold coffin, and even the monkey's eyes were straight, until the bald-tailed monkey's heart-rending miserable howl suddenly stopped, and the group of monkeys woke up like a dream, like a tree falling and scattered, "whooping" and fled in all directions like the forest, and disappeared in an instant, and the silence returned to the depths of the dense forest, and there was not even a single monkey hair left.
The red girl saw that there was a corpse, and hurriedly took out three flying knives coated with black dog blood in her hand, and was about to attack, the partridge whistle quietly raised her hand to signal her not to move first, the zombie of the Yuan Dynasty nobles in the coffin was so powerful, but looking at its appearance, it should be the Western Regions color people, the Yuan Dynasty is a multi-ethnic situation of compatibility and coexistence, it is not strange that the color eyes are the generals, the general of the army when the crusade against the old bear ridge seventy-two cave barbarians, it is likely that it is this person, the Yuan Dynasty living people are extremely martyred, and the armored dry corpse seen in the tomb before is probably the samurai who accompanied the burial, The Son of Heaven could be buried with hundreds of people, the prince could have dozens of people, and the general who commanded the army arranged for a few relatives to die in the tomb to guard the door, which was not a cruel luxury in terms of the social atmosphere at the time.
However, the cultural background of the Western Regions is unique, and the funeral customs are also very different from the traditional burial system, and the coffins, tombs, Ming vessels, and methods of preserving the corpses are all extremely mysterious at that time. It has been more than thousands of years since the mountain movers moved from the Western Desert Shuangshan to the Central Plains, and they have limited knowledge of the funeral methods in the Western Regions that have flourished since the Han Dynasty.
In the dead forest, only the coffin made a "click" sound. It was as if zombies were gnawing at the dead body of the bald-tailed monkey inside, and the cave barbarian was chilled by the heart and lungs. Suddenly, he felt a slippery coldness on his neck, and he thought it was the partridge whistle who tied a rope to him in order to prevent him from falling into the tree, and while trembling and touching it with his hands, he whispered: "Brother Mo, don't tie Xiaodi's neck, this place still has to be left to pant......"
Before he finished speaking, he touched the back of his neck and it was not a rope. In a trance, he copied it in his hand and saw that it was a huge poisonous white flower snake, spitting poisonous letters at him, and suddenly half of his soul was reborn in the sky and clouds, and he was busy exerting all his strength to shake off the white flower snake in his hand, but the branches under his body could not be so tossed by him. Suddenly, it broke with a "click", and even the people and branches fell down at the same time.
Partridge Whistle and Red Maiden were paying attention to the movement of the coffin under the tree, and they did not expect the cave barbarian to have such a hand, and the Partridge Whistle was very fast, and when they noticed that the branch was broken, it was half a step too late, and this big tree was several feet high. He was worried that the cave barbarian would fall from a high place and fall to death or injury, so he couldn't care about hiding anymore, so he hurriedly hung upside down on the branch, kicked the trunk of the tree and let go of his arms, and floated down like a nocturnal bat.
Falling on such a tall tree, even a partridge whistle is hard to guarantee that it will not be injured, but fortunately the forest is dense. Hung with vines. Before he could hit the ground, he grabbed the old vine hanging from the trunk. Only then did he let go of the body of the cave barbarian, and came down from the tree, and the two of them were already standing in front of the purple gold coffin.
At this time, the red girl also came down from the tree, and she couldn't stop hearing the sound of the coffin, it seemed that the zombies inside would crawl out at any time to pounce on people, and she couldn't help frowning, and secretly shivered, and asked the partridge whistle: "How to pay attention?" Set it on fire! ”
The partridge whistle wanted to hide in the dark to see carefully, but since it had come to the coffin, it had to start immediately, but the tomb robbers have been very taboo since ancient times to set fire to the coffin before seeing the coffin. Then he said to the red girl: "Don't use fire, first use the centipede to hang the ladder to pick out the zombies from the coffin and then pay attention to them." ”
After the partridge whistle finished speaking, he turned around and dragged the bamboo ladder over, and ordered the cave barbarian and the red girl to copy the "centipede hanging ladder" in their hands, and lifted it into the coffin.
The cave barbarian fell from the tree after encountering the snake, and he was so frightened that he panicked, so he moved the idea of escaping, but looking at the German-made mirror box carried by the partridge whistle, he knew in his heart that "at this time, he would inevitably suffer a shuttle bullet when he escaped", this person was born timid, and over the years he has seen many warlords and bandits who have taken care of people's lives, compared to the ghost zombies, he is still more afraid of the warlord with a gun in his hand, as soon as he saw the muzzle of the black hole, his legs and stomach were weak, and he didn't dare to escape half a step if he borrowed a few more guts, so he had to bite the bullet, Help the red girl lift the bamboo ladder and look at the purple gold coffin.
The two of them first used the "centipede hanging ladder" to open the "seven-star board" that was half covered on the coffin, and lowered the head of the ladder, like a flying dragon stirring the sea, and rolled up in the coffin, with heavy hands, they knew that the bamboo ladder was hanging in front of the mountain hook had set up something, and the red girl glanced at the partridge whistle and saw that he was ready to wait, so she made a look at the cave barbarian, and strengthened her hands to pick up the "centipede hanging ladder".
The red girl and the cave barbarian both felt that the bamboo ladder had become extraordinarily heavy, so they had to provoke it, but unexpectedly dragged out a large mass of things from the coffin, at this time the cold moonlight was about to come down, and the three of them stood close to the side and saw it clearly, only to see the copper hook at the front end of the "centipede hanging mountain ladder", which was hanging on the mouth of the dead bald tail monkey, the mouth of the dead monkey was torn open, and the lifeless face was raised to the sky, and the hook was pulled up from the coffin like fishing.
Partridge whistle is accustomed to life and death, no matter how strange the corpse of the death, in his eyes, it is like a clay sculpture, until the last resort, he will never take extreme measures to mutilate the ancient corpse, he thinks that only by knowing the awe of death, can he avoid the call of death again and again, but now poke the corpse with a bamboo ladder, but it is really helpless, because no one knows how the zombie in the coffin will attack, and at this moment see the dead monkey corpse from the coffin. He didn't even move his eyebrows, he still watched as calmly as water, his whole body ready to deal with the unexpected that was about to happen.
But when the red girl saw that the monkey corpse was so hideous and terrifying, after all, she was halfway into the ground and fell into the fight, and she couldn't help but feel a little creepy, and she didn't dare to look directly at the monkey's face. At the moment, I was brave and worked hard with the cave barbarian who was already scared like sifting chaff. Trembling, he slowly lifted the "centipede hanging mountain ladder".
I saw that the bamboo ladder was picked out of the coffin, not just a plush monkey corpse, the body of the bald-tailed dead monkey was tightly connected by the zombie in the coffin, the head of the ancient corpse was buried in the neck of the dead monkey, and it seemed to open its mouth to bite it, and the bamboo ladder pulled the bald-tailed old monkey from the dead ground, and it was actually opened out of the coffin together with the zombie of the Yuan Dynasty.
After all, the bald-tailed old monkey has a limited amount of land. It's just that the zombie of the Yuan Dynasty is burly, and the body is extremely heavy, which may also be poured with mercury and decomposed, in short, the red girl and the cave barbarian both saw sweat on their foreheads, and carried the bamboo ladder several times in succession, and the corpse of the monkey seemed to have taken root in the coffin, and it was difficult to pick out the coffin in a hurry.
The reason why Partridge Whistle asked them to use the "centipede hanging ladder" to pick up the corpses from the distance was because they were worried that they would be too close to the Zijin coffin. The coffin lid and coffin board have been shaken apart, once the zombie in the coffin rises violently, it must be eaten by surprise, and it is far away to have the opportunity to respond, but the bamboo ladder only picks up the corpse obliquely for a few feet, and it can no longer be picked up a bit. The weight of the long ladder was reduced into a curved bow, and the body of the ladder trembled and creaked.
Partridge Whistle felt something different: "But it's strange again, is it that the zombie refuses to come out?" Confused, he stepped to the side of the coffin, who knew that as soon as he moved his steps, he found that a pair of black giant claws leaned out from behind the zombie, like crab claws, grabbing the dead monkey tightly, and a pitch-black limb hook tail poked out at the back of the zombie's neck, it turned out that there was a mountain scorpion as big as a dog greedy for the yin qi in the coffin. In the coffin, the coffin fell out of the ancient tomb and cracked. Got into the coffin, the place where the monkeys were afraid just now. It may also be the great poison hidden in the coffin.
The mountain scorpion will be hooked and raised high by the enemy, I don't know for it to get into the coffin, but to lie under the zombie's body, and so the bald-tailed old monkey turned the seven-star board, the mountain scorpion that has been lurking suddenly became difficult, it lifted the long tail, and immediately held up the zombie, stung the bald-tailed old monkey, and dragged it into the coffin together through the ancient corpse, and then was opened from the bottom of the coffin by the bamboo ladder, but the mountain scorpion seemed to be reluctant to leave the purple gold coffin, and refused to let go of the monkey corpse, and actually compared with the "centipede hanging mountain ladder".
Partridge Whistle just saw a huge mountain scorpion hidden at the bottom of the coffin, his subconscious reaction was to shoot and kill, otherwise when it returned to the bottom of the coffin, it would have to approach the coffin to shoot, the German-made 20 rings in his hand had already opened the nose, and it could be fired at any time, Partridge Whistle was the best at using a gun in his life, and he had a hundred steps through Yang's head, and he immediately raised his arm to pull the gun.
Who knows that although the partridge whistle is fast, the mountain scorpion is faster, it also feels that there is a living person approaching, suddenly turned the scorpion tail, a stream of black poisonous juice sprayed to the partridge whistle like a water arrow, the old bear ridge bottle mountain near the climate is unique, perennial rain and rain, the mountains are rich in all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, the mountain scorpion in this area is not only huge, and the hook tail of the female scorpion can shoot venom like the king cobra, its speed is as fast as electricity, it is impossible to prevent.
The partridge whistle only smelled a gust of fishy wind, and before he even had time to see how the mountain scorpion sprayed poison, the highly poisonous water arrow had been shot in front of him, and he couldn't dodge it anyway, in a hurry, the partridge whistle had to seek self-protection first, and held the mirror box gun in his hand in front of him, and the venom "horn" sounded softly, and it was shot on the body of the German ground-making gun, he was worried that the poisonous water would flow into his hand, so he had to immediately throw away the mirror twenty rings, and at the same time withdraw and retreat backwards.
The Red Girl and the Cave Barbarian had also seen the mountain scorpion hiding behind the zombie at this time, and they were all taken aback, and their hands were slightly loose, and the mountain scorpion dragged the zombie and the dead monkey back into the coffin.
Partridge Whistle jumped aside and shouted, "Quickly release the phoenix chicken in the bamboo basket." Before the three of them entered the dense forest to rob the tomb, they all carried a rooster on their backs with a bamboo basket, and the partridge whistle personally brought the most miraculous angry chicken, and the red girl and the cave barbarian brought it, and they were all chosen by a thousand.
"Phoenix Lin Dragon Turtle" is the four spirits of China, since Yin Shang, there is a totem of the golden phoenix of the Xuanniao in the world, but just like the "dragon", the phoenix is an illusory thing, it is an immortal bird in mythology, after death can be reborn in the flame Nirvana, perched on the plane tree, do not fall into the place of no treasure, so it is also the most important thing for people who cultivate immortals and alchemy pills since ancient times, Nuqing is the omen of the phoenix, the emperors of the past dynasties set up the Dan Palace in the bottle mountain of Nuqing County, Xiangxi, I am afraid it is also inseparable from this place name.
If you trace back to the source, the original shape of the phoenix, is likely to be detached from the pheasant, the wild pheasant feathers in the mountains are gorgeous and colorful, the tail length is comparable to a peacock, can also fly and hover in the air, very close to the phoenix, but only in the poultry, there will be a very rare angry chicken, the eyelids and the phoenix are born from above, and the ordinary chickens and birds are completely different, is the natural nemesis of a hundred kinds of poisons.
However, the biological clock in the body of chickens and birds has an obvious effect, as soon as the sky is dark, it is listless, and once it is at night, the eyesight and perception are seriously reduced, although it is packed in the bamboo basket, all the way bumpy and never sleep, but they are groggy and silent, the partridge whistle three people can't care much now, tear open the bamboo basket, and throw the three roosters inside far away towards the purple gold coffin.
Led by Nu Qing, three roosters, fluttering their wings in the air and falling, they and poison are innate mortal enemies, as long as they see, they will definitely fight "with you without me, with me without you", although in the moonlight is not energetic, but suddenly encountered a mountain scorpion, still red eyes, just landed in the coffin is a messy peck.
Although the mountain scorpion hiding under the zombie was reluctant to leave the purple gold coffin, it was forced to be unable to use it in the narrow coffin, so it had to let go of the zombie and the bald-tailed dead monkey, and exited the original way through the crack in the coffin where it had entered.
The three of them watched from a distance, and saw that the mountain scorpion was full of dust, blue and black, two huge claws like children's arms, the top was full of black hair as hard as a needle, the abdomen and back were extremely thick, the tail link was thirteen, when it stung, it was as fast as electricity, it was spinning in place, and the poisonous tail was bent upward, which seemed extremely irritable. Although the three roosters surrounded it, in the middle of the night, it was difficult to quickly bully and kill, but they kept fighting with it, consuming its fierce spirit.
