We were so frightened by the sudden sound of mad laughter that we hurriedly jumped away and stood by and watched the coffin.

"Poof!"

A crack suddenly cracked in the middle of the coffin, and a puff of white smoke erupted from it, making a muffled pop. Then the lid of the coffin slammed up and landed on the ground. A large cloud of white smoke came out of it, accompanied by a foul smell, and at the same time, in the midst of this white smoke, a white light rushed straight into the sky, illuminating the surrounding space.

With this white light shooting out, all of a sudden, the skeletons around us all crunched down to the ground, because they had all turned into white bones, when they knelt down, their bodies stiffened, and even many of them broke the bones on their bodies.

We were stunned by this sudden turn of events, and we stood there at a loss.

There was another sound of a cry in the coffin, and a dry palm reached out from it and grabbed the edge of the coffin.

My eyes widened and I stared at that hand, completely unaware that this coffin had been in the coffin for an unknown number of years, and that it could still crawl out of the living thing. Although I know that ghosts are immortal, and although I know that there are many secret methods in the ghost world that can preserve people's corpses for a long time, I still can't accept this reality when I really see it with my own eyes.

"Ding...... Ding......"

A melodious bell rang from the coffin, followed by a creaking sound. I saw wisps of small flying insects flying out of the skeletons around them, and disappeared into the coffin.

We can only watch at this time, and dare not do anything.

About five minutes later, after all the bugs had flown in, the dry hand moved again, and this time, I was scared to the point that I had a convulsion in my heart, and I thought, this thing is coming out!

Sure enough, after the hand was struck, the thing inside suddenly flew out and fell to the ground, staring at us condescendingly with a pair of eyes, no, staring at me!

It's not a human, it's not a ghost, it's not a zombie, it's a tall monster covered in green hair! It has layers of scale armor, four claws like large chicken claws, a rotten mass on its head that can't see what it is, two tentacles that move one after another, and those two big round eyes staring at me motionlessly.

I looked up at it, but I didn't dare to look at it, and secretly said in my heart, why do you keep looking at me, is my meat fragrant, do you want to eat me first?

I was drumming in my heart, and I felt that something was approaching above my head, and before I could look up, I saw a tentacle hanging down from my eyes, and then there was a warm temperature above my head, and the sound of heavy breathing was above my head.

My heart was pounding, does this thing really want to eat me first? I haven't taken a shower for many days, and my body already stinks, don't eat me!

"Bang!"

I was praying when suddenly a loud noise came from beside me. Then the monster screamed and jumped away. At the same time, I saw Sister Du and Wei Fanghong taking off

Coming and falling into the pile of skeletons.

The monster jumped to the side and turned to look at itself, a huge wound appeared on the right side of its body, belching clouds of white smoke, and the smell of roasted meat filled the air.

Wei Fanghong and Sister Du took advantage of its inattention and attacked it!

However, the wound apparently had little effect on the monster. After turning its head to look at the wound, it looked at Sister Du and Wei Fanghong, and instead of chasing after me, it jumped up to me again, stretched out its huge nose, and sniffed at me.

I didn't know what it was going to do, so I just stood motionless and let it circle around me.

Wei Fanghong helped Sister Du get up from the ground and walked over cautiously. When the monster saw them coming, he just turned his head to look at them, then at me, and ignored them.

Sister Du whispered, "Nian Chu, does this monster know you, why does it always circle around you?"

What are you kidding! When have I ever seen a monster like this?

Sister Du then said, "You touch it and see how it reacts?"

What are you kidding? Where do I dare to move now?

However, the monster kept circling around me, even rubbing its head against me. I gritted my teeth and slowly stretched my trembling palms towards its head.

When the monster saw me stretch out his hand, he tilted his head and leaned over.

I stroked my palm against its nose, and it was cold.

The monster twisted its head, rubbed its nose on my hand a few times, and suddenly jumped up and down around me, as if it were very happy.

Seeing this, Sister Du hurriedly said, "This thing really knows you!"

As soon as Sister Du's words fell, the monster suddenly rushed into the coffin again with an arrow step, bowed over and turned inside for a long time, and took out a copper plate glowing with patina from it. It lay down in front of me with the copper plate in its mouth, and brought it to me so that I could catch it.

I looked at Sister Du and saw Sister Du motioning for me to continue. I took a deep breath and took it.

I wiped the patina off the copper plate, and it was so smooth that my shadow could faintly be reflected. I was amazed, so I approached me to take a closer look.

The woman inside, dressed in a garment made of animal skins, with her hair coiled on top of her head, a slender bone stuck in it, a string of shells hanging from her neck, and a pair of eyes, stared at me quietly.

I looked into her eyes, and the fear in my heart slowly dissipated, and this woman's appearance was so similar to mine! Suddenly, a sense of déjà vu passed through thousands of years, and was deeply imprinted in my mind.

I saw herds of beasts lined up in neat formations, I saw armies as far as the eye could see, I saw smoke and dust rising in the distance, I heard the sound of horns blowing, and, beside me, a great beast crawled. It's a dragon! The beast is a dragon!

I jerked my gaze back at the monster lying quietly next to me. I was in a hurry

Reaching out to uncover the rotten thing on its head, it finally revealed its true face, it was a dragon, a legendary dragon!

I looked at the bronze mirror again in surprise, but there was no more of it than before, only a blurred face.

When Sister Du saw me like this, she didn't care about the dragon next to her, she leaned over cautiously and said, "Nian Chu, this is ...... Is this a dragon?"

I nodded and said, "Sister Du, I saw it." I see myself ......"

Wei Fanghong said beside him, "What's the matter?"

I said, "I saw myself a long, long time ago, and I was with it, like I was at war, surrounded by them!"

They refer to the people around them who have become skeletons.

Hearing me say this, Wei Fanghong and the others also looked around. The skeletons around them were still kneeling on the ground at this time, originally thinking that they were kneeling down to worship the dragon that came out of the coffin, but if the scene I saw in the bronze mirror was real, then it was me who knelt down at this time!

"Roar!"

The dragon roared and soared into the air, whirling around the bones, and in its path the kneeling skeletons fell to the ground, shattering into slag, leaving only piles of white powder.

The dragon continued to scream, and the kneeling skeletons scattered. Looking at this scene, even if he was terrified just now, a tragic emotion rose from the bottom of his heart at this time.

Is this all the army that once followed me? The ancient war, the final victory? Victory! It must be a victory, but what happened to the woman in the bronze mirror? Why am I so similar to her? Couldn't it be my past life?

The dragon flew back and landed in front of me, leaning down, pressing its head to the ground and putting its nose on the instep of my foot. I saw that it had tears in its eyes, and it was lying on its stomach like a poor puppy. I crouched down and rubbed my hand on its head, and it lifted its eyelids and looked at me, and a tear slipped from the corner of my eye and fell to the ground.

I felt sad in my heart, and whispered comforting, "Don't be sad, it's all over." I'm still here with you. ”

I don't know why I said that, maybe I thought I was the one in the bronze mirror, right?

As he was thinking, the dragon suddenly stood up, turned and walked to the coffin, and turned to look at me, as if to let me pass.

Knowing that it had no ill will towards me, I believed it completely, and walked over.

Standing in front of the coffin at this time, I can already see the situation inside. In the coffin was the skeleton of Bai Sensen, with a petite skeleton and a string of shells hanging from its neck......

I was shocked in my heart, this is the woman I saw in the bronze mirror just now!

I turned my head to look at the dragon. It whimpered twice, stepped inside, carefully touched the skeleton with the tip of its nose, and then looked up at me.

"Do you want me to put it away?"

Ask softly.

The dragon whimpered again and leaped out of it.

I nodded, took off the bead chain from my wrist, carefully squeezed it in my hand, aimed at the skeleton inside, and took it in.

Seeing that I had taken the bones away, the dragon touched the bead chain with its nose and stood next to me lightly, watching me put it back on my wrist.

At this time, I suddenly saw that there was something inside, covered by the rotting burial goods. I reached out and took it out. When the dragon saw this, he immediately jumped to the side with a lunge, looking very happy.

I looked closely at the thing in my hand, and there were seven small holes drilled into the slender bone on the same side, which looked like a bone flute. I have seen information about bone flutes, which appeared very early, and the earliest one that can be found is a bone flute found in Germany 350,000 years ago. The bone flute found in the Jiahu site in China, about 8000~9000 years ago, is made of crane bones, according to research, the bone flute at that time has developed quite perfectly, has had four tones, five tones, six tones and seven tones!

Seeing the dragon's joy at seeing me pick up the bone flute, I put it to my lips, looked at it, and asked with my eyes if I wanted me to blow it.

The dragon tilted its head, its front paws clutching at the ground, and its tail wagging its tail.

I smiled and said, "Okay, I'll blow!"

I've never learned the flute before, let alone a tune. But when the bone flute was blown, the crisp and graceful sound of the flute drifted away in all directions in this empty tomb.

In the sound of this flute, I forgot to blow, forgot the time, forgot everything around me. Time seems to stand still, just like the war that stood thousands of years ago, the beasts are roaring, the army is shouting, and I, the commander in command of this great war, galloping on the battlefield of that epic battle......
