Chapter 16 Bronze Ancient Coffin
"Exorcist seal, knot!"
As Uncle Li's words landed, Cai Wen's chest suddenly rose upward, his limbs drooped stiffly to the ground, and his knuckles jerked upwards...
"Whoaaaa Cai Wen's throat squeezed out a heart-rending scream of pain.
This ethereal and poignant sound made me feel as uncomfortable as a cat's scratch.
The joints of Cai Wen's body continued to twist into strange shapes, and green tendons protruded from his skin.
Old Uncle Li held the lantern and looked at it without changing his face, and at this time he had re-wrapped the oilskin paper on the lamp base.
Cai Wenwuqing's mouth slowly opened, and wisps of black gas gushed out from the Adam's apple. And Cai Wen's face had turned purple at this time.
Cai Wen ..... "I looked at Uncle Li worriedly. At this time, Cai Wen's face was not quite right, as if he was about to be strangled... I'm worried about whether he'll hold up.
At this time, Cai Wen's eyes unexpectedly regained their brilliance, his face was distorted into a mess, and he looked at us with pain on his face:
"Help... Help me, I can't do it...."
All right! I was overjoyed and said happily: "Cai Wen, this guy is sober, let him go." ”
Old Uncle Li's face was as calm as water, "The exorcism technique absorbs the aura of heaven and earth, and absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, once it is formed, there is no way to cancel it." ”
What the? I was shocked.
"Are we watching Cai Wen die!?" I looked at Uncle Li in disbelief, he didn't want Cai Wen and this female ghost to die together!
"Ask for ...... Please... Stop. Cai Wen struggled in pain on the ground, his voice getting weaker and weaker.
"Uncle Li! Cai Wen is dying! "I was so anxious that I patted Uncle Li on the shoulder, I really couldn't watch a human life pass away in front of my eyes. I must be able to find another way, but I really can't do it, and it's okay to stun Cai Wen!
Old Uncle Li raised the corners of his mouth disapprovingly, hooked up a mocking arc, and stared at Cai Wen with his eyes, "Hmph.... is worthy of being a thousand-year-old female ghost, and her mind is so cunning. ”
Hearing this, I immediately froze in place, like a monk in Erzhang, I was confused, what Uncle Li meant.... Could it be that Cai Wen is deceiving people? But look at his eyes should be back to normal, huh?
Uncle Li glanced at me and said slowly, "The exorcism seal eradicates evil things, as long as the ghost is dispersed, the red mark will disappear." Now the red light is in full bloom, and Cai Wen's face is still blue, and the female ghost is definitely still on Cai Wen. ”
I looked at Cai Wen in disbelief, he kicked his feet up violently, trying to bounce off the ground, but the charm on the ground was like a magnet, and he said, "Bang! "Suck on the ground.
"Ahh Yes! Yes! Cai Wen screamed, looking terrible with a blue face and fangs, glaring at us fiercely.
Uncle Li really didn't say it wrong.... I swallowed and spit, almost deceived by this female ghost, if I let her break free, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Instead of diminishing, the red light intensified at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Cai Wen opened his mouth suddenly: "Woo!"
A cloud of foul black gas burst out of Cai Wen's mouth and dissipated in the air....
The red light of the pattern on the ground gradually dissipated, and the blue light on Cai Wen's face quickly disappeared...
"Huhu....." he collapsed on the ground gasping for air.
"Alright." Old Uncle Li said, "Quickly help him up." ”
Tie Zhu and I hurriedly helped Cai Wen up, his face was pale, bloodless, and he looked very weak.
Cai Wen squinted his eyes slightly and looked at me and asked, "Water.... Water. ”
I quickly unscrewed the kettle and carefully poured it into his mouth.
Old Uncle Li looked at the darkness behind the ruins and said, "This baby is fine, let's rest for a while." ”
Following Uncle Li's line of sight, I found that there was a large space behind the white marble wall that I had broken. Hazy you can see some artifacts standing in the dark....
After resting for about half an hour, Cai Wen could barely walk, but he had a listless expression on his face.
I asked Cai Wen curiously, "How does it feel to be ghosted?"
Cai Wen said angrily: "It's like a person who doesn't obey the call and is thrown into the water, and then fished up and beaten up." ”
I can't help but sigh at Cai Wen's metaphorical image, it turns out that he can feel pain, but the female ghost controls his body and makes him unable to move.
At the urging of Uncle Li, we decided to go to that room to find out.
Stepping past the ruins of the broken walls of a thousand flowers, there is an empty hall in front of you.
Tie Zhu turned on the flashlight and scanned...
The walls are beautifully textured, and there are four stone pillars around them, with small holes in the middle, which are supposed to be the places where the lights are lit.
And in the center of the burial chamber was a blue coffin. Surrounded by red staircases.
"This should be the main burial chamber." Old Uncle Li looked around and said.
My heart immediately lifted, "Could it be... There's a mechanism... Arrows and crossbows or something. "When I was a kid, I used to hear storytellers tell me how dangerous the cemetery was...
"Hmph." Uncle Li glanced at me, "This is all a lie to the little doll, and you have to laugh off your big teeth when you hear it to insiders." How could there be such a high level of technology in ancient times? ”
That's right, I twitched the corners of my mouth in embarrassment, it's hard to make that kind of complex lethal mechanism with current technology.
"It's safer here than outside." Iron Pillar said, observing the surroundings.
"Not necessarily." Old Uncle Li walked up the steps slowly, "Pillar, light the lamp first." ”
The iron pillar took out four candles and inserted them on the four stone pillars at the east, west, north and south feet of the tomb.
The blue and yellow flames rose, and the tomb instantly became bright.
I was amazed to find that the burial chamber was very empty. The cyan marble floor was covered with only a thick layer of dust.
Looking at the decoration outside, it is white marble and carved walls, the tomb owner should like luxury, why is there no luxury when he arrives at the main tomb?
"How so..... So?" After scanning the tomb, Cai Wen's face turned blue instantly, and his eyes stared at the back of Old Uncle Li with a little resentment, as if he had some deep hatred.
"Could it be...," Old Uncle Li's face was a little ugly, "Come here." ”
Puzzled, I walked up the steps, and in the center of the round platform was a turquoise coffin.
The coffin is about three meters long, and the whole body is carved with exquisite patterns, like clouds.
And in the clouds, there is a sharp-beaked auspicious bird with its head sticking out, a slender crest, fluttering wings, and a gorgeous tail...
"It's ..... Phoenix?! Tie Zhu exclaimed.
I nodded slightly, this is indeed a phoenix, and every feather is delicately depicted, a lifelike appearance.
The phoenix can be used as a decoration for the coffin, and the people inside are not extraordinary at all.
At this time, I was surprised to find that Uncle Li's body suddenly trembled uncontrollably.
"Feng Tan Xiangyun Tu....." Old Uncle Li's eyes were firmly fixed on the coffin, "Sure enough... Ha ha.... Sure enough, yes. ”
I was shocked by Uncle Li's stupid appearance, what is the origin of this tomb owner? Did Uncle Li understand it before?
"Quick.... Open it quickly..."Old Uncle Li said to us.
The palm of his hand caressed the coffin, and a cold metallic sensation came from his fingertips. This coffin... Is it made of bronze?
If you look closely, there are indeed mottled rust on the coffin, and it seems that the coffin itself is a priceless bronze, but it is impossible for a few of us to take such a heavy thing.
But apart from a few small grooves around it, the cave was almost seamless, and there was no place to start at all.
"How do I open it?" I asked suspiciously, I felt that there was no other way to open the bronze coffin than to find a few strong men and pry it open with a wrench along the gap.
Old Uncle Li said: "There are eight grooves around this coffin, and there is a simple mechanism in the grooves. There were just four of us, each of us reaching out with two hands to reach into the groove and at the same time pull the mechanism to open the coffin. ”
I nodded sneeringly, I see.... I can't say whether it was a little more disappointed or a sad feeling that I had expected a long time ago....
I should have thought a long time ago, how could this old man organize so many people to find me Purple Tomb Moss for no reason? Isn't it enough for him and Tiezhu?
The reason is because of this coffin....
Uncle Li and Tie Zhu had no way to open the coffin, so they had to find two more people. So I pulled up Cai Wen and me by the way..... Useless cumbersome.
Purple Tomb Moss is just a front to lure me on the road, even.... I don't know if there's such a thing as purple tomb moss. And Cai Wen must have been dragged to the road for some reason...
Uncle Li did everything possible not to let Cai Wen and I have an accident.... Actually, I just wanted to get something in this coffin.
Alas..... I sighed helplessly in my heart. What I can pray for now is that Uncle Li didn't lie to me.
"Wait a minute."
Cai Wen's voice was cold, and he looked at Old Uncle Li with a trembling face, "Why should I help you." ”
"How do you talk?!" Tie Zhu glared at Cai Wen angrily.
"Do you think you don't know about that hook?!" Cai Wen raised his voice with the courage of some reason, "When you promised me half of the antiques in the tomb, I only need antiques!" There's no hair here!! ”
"I'll find a way for your mother's illness..."Old Uncle Li said softly, and he could hear that he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.
"Think of a fart solution!" Cai Wen took out a dagger and put it across his neck, "You liar, if you don't promise to give me the valuable things in the coffin, I'll die here, you just pat your ass and go back!" ”
"You...."Old Uncle Li exhaled heavily, his face changing rapidly, "Okay, as long as I get what I want, the rest will be given to you." ”
Tie Zhu looked at Tie Zhu coldly, and his eyes showed a piercing chill...
I listened quietly, trying to say something but not speaking, but I noticed that the candle in the southwest corner had gone out somehow.....
Our friendship has been irretrievably broken....
Although Cai Wen has nothing to do, it is too unwise, just a promise, isn't it easy to regret it? And he offended the master and apprentice again, and now he is conditionally threatening the old man, so after opening the coffin, he doesn't have to look at the old man's face.
"Okay.... I promised you. Tiezhu said impatiently, "Let's do it together." ”
"Nope." Cai Wen smiled coldly, "Am I a fool?" It's just a promise, and it's not easy to regret it. ”
"And what do you want?" Old Uncle Li said with a gloomy face.
Cai Wen's eyes locked on the lantern in Uncle Li's hand, "Store your lantern here first, and I will naturally return it to you after I get what I want." ”
"You're so tired!" Tie Zhu finally couldn't suppress his anger and grabbed Cai Wen's collar.
"Pillar, don't do that." Old Uncle Li raised the dark glass cup in his hand, "Since you can't trust me, then give it to you." ”
