Chapter 107: Hanging Coffin Buried Underground
Fan Zicheng went all the way down, he had been cautious and vigilant, but surprisingly there was really no mechanism or anything like that, and he arrived at the platform at the bottom smoothly.
However, when he reached the platform, he was stunned.
He didn't see Ye Kui on the platform, but saw a strange scene that he had never seen in his life: a huge cocoon composed of flame threads, some of which were attached to the stairs, and some of which were hanging in the air outside the platform, like a mass of dragon whisker candy that had been abandoned and burned on the edge of a food stall......
The flame threads on the fire cocoon were peeling off, falling down one by one, and those that fell on the platform quickly dissolved into a pile of meaningless flames, and the threads that fell into the invisible abyss disappeared.
What's even more strange is that Fan Zicheng didn't feel any special aura emanating from this huge luminous body when he was away from the edge of this fire cocoon. It seems that these flame threads don't exist at all, and only a little bit of the breath that belongs to Ye Kui leaks out.
As the flame filaments peeled off, the cocoon grew smaller and smaller. After about ten minutes, the fire cocoon revealed a white shoulder in the center.
Seeing that thin and familiar shoulder, Fan Zicheng couldn't wait any longer, and he pounced on it to tear off the flame wire on it. However, those flame threads that had no temperature and no breath just now felt Fan Zicheng's approach, and suddenly began to burn violently, and the scorching heat wave almost lifted Fan Zicheng on his heels!
Fan Zicheng was startled and retreated to the edge of the stairs. The flame filament no longer emitted heat, and returned to its original appearance, falling off little by little. Seeing that the flame silk did not fight back again, Fan Zicheng breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to move forward.
"Brother Fan, has something happened?" At this moment, Mo Xuan's voice came down the stairs, but the others did not come down.
"Well, something...... However, it should be fine after a while. Fan Zicheng was anxious and worried at this time, but he had nothing to do about this situation, and he didn't think much about it, so he responded casually.
Mo Xuan sighed and didn't speak again.
After about half an hour, the flame filaments on Ye Kui's body finally fell off, and at this time, he curled up in the middle of the flame filaments all over the ground like a newborn baby, and his even breathing told Fan Zicheng that Ye Kui's condition was very good. Not only good, but even surprisingly good!
After Fan Zicheng saw Ye Kui's body, he immediately judged that his previous serious injuries had completely healed! At this time, he was as healthy as a cow! He had never seen such a healthy Ye Kui. I used to see that he was either a little weak in the spleen or weak in yang, and he was always in a sub-healthy state, but at this time, Ye Kui was actually in the peak state of his body, which had to be surprising.
After the last flame filament fell, all the flame filaments around Ye Kui began to burn violently. But this time there was no temperature, just a strong glow. All the silk threads began to float, and even those flame threads that had fallen into the abyss reappeared and began to rotate around Ye Kui's body.
When all the flame threads entered the swirling whirlpool, the flame threads began to converge towards Ye Kui's hands, quickly weaving and shaping in the air, and after a while, Ye Kui's hands were wrapped in flame silks, forming a pair of golden flame wings.
The golden wings of fire are lifelike, with feathers on them and fine lines on the feathers vivid. It seems that with a single fan, they can fly with Ye Kui.
At this moment, Ye Kui woke up. He sat up as if he had slept comfortably, yawning. Ye Kui didn't seem to notice that there was anything wrong with his hands turning into wings, so he shook the feathers on his wings very naturally, and gently folded his wings in front of him, and then began to look around.
"Xiao Kui, are you okay?" Fan Zicheng took two steps forward, but he didn't dare to get too close. The wings were made of flame threads, and he felt that he had almost been steamed dry, so he didn't dare to come any closer.
Ye Kui turned his head and looked at Fan Zicheng sleepily, and it took a while before he reacted, "Hmm...... Zicheng, are you here? ”
Fan Zicheng bypassed the pair of flame wings and walked behind Ye Kui, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief after carefully checking that he was really nothing.
"What's going on with you? These wings ......" Fan Zicheng didn't know how to describe it, and he was a little speechless.
"Hmm...... You are a member of the Fan family, of course, a half-demon. Ye Kui suddenly said a sentence without a head, and just when Fan Zicheng began to have a question mark on his head, he added, "I am a member of the Ye family, of course I have wings." ”
Fan Zicheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought that the Ye family seemed to be a descendant of the dark phoenix. But these flame wings can't match the black phoenix......
"Where is this?" Ye Kui turned his head and asked as he looked into Fan Zicheng's eyes up close.
Fan Zicheng was helping Ye Kui change his clothes. His original clothes had long since been burned by the flame wire or something, anyway, he was wearing nothing at this time. Hearing his question, I subconsciously glanced at him.
However, this look stunned him again.
Ye Kui's eyes changed color again at this time, and the dark golden pupils seemed to be the bottomless pit under them at this time, which was so deep that people had infinite reverie. There was a high-minded kingly aura in his eyes, but it was covered up a lot by his lazy expression at this time, which did not make Fan Zicheng kneel on the ground and worship.
Ye Kui turned his head and said to himself, "I remember, the ancestral tomb of Baiyang Pass." Oh, I remember what happened. ”
As he spoke, he spread his wings and shook in the air. Under his shaking, the feathers of the flame wings fell off, and the golden feathers turned into a cloud of phantoms, all of which merged into Ye Kui's body.
With the disappearance of the golden wings, the entire cavern returned to darkness. After Ye Kui got dressed, he lit the flashlight and shone it around.
After the wings disappeared, Ye Kui looked much more normal, and he repeated his old tricks, wanting to ignite the fire oil over there. It's just that the fire line didn't spread for long before it slowly went out, thinking that there should be continuous fire oil flowing out of the brazier, and it could spread to the entire cave after a while, but Ye Kui had already burned the previous savings before, and this time he didn't succeed in attracting the fire map like a god.
However, Ye Kui was not completely helpless, he fired a shot into the sky, and this time from the muzzle of the gun was a flare that flashed with a strong light, and in an instant, the entire cave was covered with snow!
Ye Kui had already seen the situation in the cave when the line of fire was dissatisfied with the entire cave just now, but Fan Zicheng, who had just come in, was stunned, and then there was a burst of horror.
Under the light of the flares, you can vaguely see that the cliff wall is densely packed with cuboids, and these things sway their shadows like devil's arms under the flickering fire light of the flares, looking as if the entire rock wall is covered with black human hands, struggling to get out of the cave where they are imprisoned, and grabbing Fan Zicheng and them.
Ye Kui is very familiar with the things on the cliff, he followed his grandfather to visit the whole country, I don't know how many of these things he has seen. Coffins of different styles hovered on the cliff wall of the cave, densely packed, and the upper part of the entire cave had been occupied by coffins.
These coffins are old and new, the latest coffin is still very shiny, but a layer of ash has fallen on the surface, and it is not far from Ye Kui and the others, and Ye Kui's eyes are also locked on the latest coffin, obviously the recently dead Baiyangao villagers are their target Topaz.
"Xiao Kui...... W-what is this? Why are these coffins on the wall? Fan Zicheng felt a little chilled, and couldn't help leaning towards Ye Kui's side.
"Hmm...... Nothing strange. This is called hanging coffin burial, which is an ancient burial method of black seedlings in Yun Province. The Hmong tribes that now have this custom have all but disappeared. Ye Kui explained.
"Are you saying that the ancestors of the people here are Miao people?" Fan Zicheng asked.
Ye Kui shook his head. This place was once transformed by a certain "immortal", and this custom is estimated to be one of the transformations, which does not necessarily mean that the people here come from the tribe in the deep mountains of Yun Province.
Ye Kui told Fan Zicheng that hanging coffin burial was not a special custom, but the northern warlord unfortunately died in a foreign country when he conquered the south, but at that time he could not send the body back to his hometown, so he looked for a cliff that beasts and humans could not set foot on, and put the body on it, waiting for the opportunity to return to his hometown to move and take it away.
However, the war continued, and the corpses were not brought back, and over time it became a custom.
Later hanging coffin burials also recorded that the higher the place the corpse was placed, the easier it was for the ancestors to be inferior to the other world, so the higher the position, the more noble the status. Judging from this, the soul of a person buried in a hanging coffin will be sublimated into heaven.
"It's weird, this is underground! Where did the Ascension come from? Fan Zicheng said strangely.
Ye Kui's gaze at this time also looked up with the second flare.
It's just that he didn't see any wonders, and the entire cave wall was a dense coffin, extending to the top of the cave. The top coffins were rotten and would fall apart at any moment.
"Let's see if there's any clues on Topaz's side, let's go back, it's spooky enough. Even if you get the treasure hidden here, you can't take it away, and a thousand-year-level tomb beast outside is guarding it, and it is estimated that it can't be taken away. Fan Zicheng urged Ye Kuidao.
Ye Kui was looking around, and suddenly heard Fan Zicheng's words, which made him stunned, "What tomb beast?" ”
"What else could there be in the Tomb Beast? It's the sheep demon outside. "Fan Zi became enlightened.
"Senior Mo Xuan? How could he be a tomb beast? I've seen his sculpture, it's not a method of sealing, it's a thing that inhabits the body, how can it become a tomb beast? Ye Kui said strangely.
"You're mistaken, that's clearly the reaction of the Tomb Beast." Fan Zicheng immediately told Ye Kui what had just happened.
Fan Zicheng has no reason to lie to Ye Kui, which means that Mo Xuan is really a tomb beast. It's just that the self-consciousness of the tomb beasts will be consumed by the tomb array, and the longer they stay in the tomb array, the weaker their self-consciousness will be, and in the end they will only be left with the order to guard the tomb. But Mo Xuan is obviously not this kind of rigid tomb beast, he has his own thoughts and memories. But according to what Fan Zicheng said, it does have the characteristics of a tomb beast.
Ye Kui felt that this matter was a little strange, but at this time, he did not have any clues that could be used as a basis to explain this matter, so he could only give up and continue to explore this question.
After his body recovered, Ye Kui was about to remove the collar around his neck that suppressed his cultivation, but was stopped by Fan Zicheng.
"Don't untie it when you recover, don't slack off on your cultivation, accumulate enough energy and then untie it, and the improvement of your cultivation will be much higher than what you are unlocking now." After he finished speaking, his body had already floated, and his body began to exude rich demonic power, and a black dragon phantom energy cloak had already covered Fan Zicheng's body, and he flew to the vicinity of Topaz's coffin with Ye Kui.
Ye Kui was surprisingly obedient and not as noisy as before. After coming to Topaz's coffin, he didn't care about anything at all, and directly lifted the coffin board, and a foul smell immediately hit his face. smoked Fan Zicheng, who was unprepared, and fell directly into the abyss, fortunately he was still wrapped around the black dragon, otherwise he would really fall and be seriously injured if he didn't die.
Looking at Ye Kui again, he had already held his breath, but when he saw the contents of the coffin, he couldn't help but gasp, and he almost fainted!
