Chapter 44: The Mysterious Sarcophagus

I saw that the name on it was actually my master Yuan Zhen. And the few words written on it are to think twice about entering this door.

I was surprised to see my master's words here. My master seems to have a close connection with the Dragon Palace, isn't this really the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea? I took a deep breath and asked Daoist Qiu, "Daoist, shall we go in?" ”

Daoist Qiu touched his beard with one hand, and directly pushed the stone door open with the other.

Daoist Qiu said with a smile: "Life and death have fate, wealth is in the sky, people will not die, and they will not die because you open a door." ”

I was stunned for a few seconds when the door opened, and Daoist Qiu told me not to be stunned and hurry up to follow.

I followed behind Daoist Qiu, and when I entered, I smelled a smell of decay, but I couldn't see that I had found a body.

After walking a few more steps, I suddenly noticed some footprints on the ground, and I called out to Daoist Qiu, who said that there was nothing strange, maybe there were already people inside. It seemed to be in response to Daoist Qiu's words, and suddenly there was movement.

Like the sound of hurried footsteps, Daoist Qiu followed with a pressed step.

I looked behind me, but I didn't dare to stop.

One after the other, through this passage, into the room, the roof is very high, to say nothing from the ground is ten meters, and this room is supported by ten thick pillars, the pillars are also carved with lines, carefully identifying, you can find that it is the pattern of a dragon.

There is a coffin in the center, and it is a sarcophagus, and two dragons are coiled on it.

Daoist Qiu walked towards the sarcophagus, I looked at the carving of the dragon, and thought to myself that this might be the Dragon Palace, if not the Dragon Palace, at least the tomb of the Dragon King.

I asked Daoist Qiu, "Daoist, what do you say my master came here for?" ”

Daoist Qiu said: "Maybe the dragon king is buried here, and your master came to attend the funeral." ”

Daoist Qiu stood at the beginning and got up, and then said after a while, why did he not see anyone when he heard the footsteps just now.

Daoist Qiu and I walked towards the sarcophagus, looked at it for a while, and found that there were portraits carved on the coffin, there were dragons, phoenixes, and there seemed to be women in gorgeous clothes.

I've heard my grandfather say before that when people die, they put their precious things in the coffin.

I was about to tell Daoist Qiu what I thought, but I found that Daoist Qiu suddenly stood a few steps away and nagged, Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. With that, he pulled me to the side, and we hid behind the pillar to put out the fire. The sound of hurried footsteps that had sounded before rang out again.

I held my breath knowing that someone was coming.

The light soon illuminated the place, and the previous beggars came side by side, and without hesitation, they came directly to the sarcophagus and began to push the lid of the coffin.

The sound of friction sounded here, and the beggars did not say a word.

In about four or five minutes, the sarcophagus was pushed open, but as soon as it was pushed away, a miserable scream rang out, and I saw a beggar standing in the front, falling to the ground, struggling in pain, and all the beggars were caught and quickly retreated.

Blood began to stain the ground red, and the beggar, who was twitching on the ground, stopped moving for a minute.

I was also stunned, and I began to be a little afraid that if it was us who pushed the coffin open just now, then I would have died.

I took a deep breath, and the rest of the beggars looked horrified. It's just that a more strange thing happened at this time, I saw a beggar standing without moving, and a few paper figures jumped out of his body, the paper people are not very big, about half a person's height, they still have whips in their hands, the beggar stands still, the paper man whips the beggar, and for a while, the terrible scream sounded here, and I suddenly sounded Li Shuo's words, the rotten part of his body, was it pulled out by these paper people.

After the beggar was pumped, he walked towards the sarcophagus.

There were originally six beggars, but now there are only five left, and they look dull-eyed, as if they are being manipulated. Daoist Qiu also looked at it seriously, and I was very curious about what was in the coffin?

Another beggar stepped forward, and as soon as his hand reached in, I saw him fall into the coffin, as if he had been dragged in.

This time, there was no movement.

Paper people stand behind beggars, each with a whip.

Seeing that the beggar was trembling and did not dare to step forward, the paper man was ready to do it again. However, Daoist Qiu suddenly raised his voice, and muttered without warning: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." Then strode the sarcophagus away.

Seeing this, I followed, and suddenly all eyes were on us.

When they got closer, one of the paper figures said, "It's you!" ”

Daoist Qiu smiled, it was the poor Dao.

The paper figures looked lifelike, and those eyes seemed to be able to speak.

The paper man continued: "I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, or don't blame me for being rude. ”

"Oh, what a non-guest law, poor Dao wants to be taught, taught."

While they were talking, there was no movement in the coffin, and I was curious and couldn't help but look around. It's just that as soon as I looked at it, Daoist Qiu pulled me aside, and a paper figure brushed against my face, which was dangerous and dangerous.

Daoist Qiu stretched out his hand and pinched the paper figure in front of him, and directly tore it open, and after the paper figure was torn apart, there was no movement. Daoist Qiu said coldly: "Although the poor Dao is not a Taoist priest with advanced cultivation, but it is more than enough to deal with your three or five paper people, if you really want to fight with the poor Dao, you can come by yourself, let's go one-on-one, face to face, otherwise you paper people, I will be wiped out." ”

It may be that Daoist Qiu directly tore apart a paper figure, so that the rest of the paper figures did not dare to step forward.

After Daoist Qiu finished speaking, several paper figures quickly got into a few beggars, and then quickly retreated.

I said to Daoist Qiu, "Are they going to move the rescue soldiers?" ”

Daoist Qiu said lightly: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth." ”

I hummed. At this time, the space was still filled with the smell of blood. I looked down. The blood was slowly drying up. Daoist Qiu stood in the same place, shifted a position, and faced the sarcophagus, Daoist Qiu straightened his color and said: "The disciples of the Quanzhen Sect are really presumptuous to come and disturb the masters in the coffin when they ask to see the masters in the coffin. ”

After Daoist Qiu finished speaking, there was no movement in the coffin.

Daoist Qiu was not in a hurry, and said it again.

It wasn't until the third time that a voice slowly sounded inside, and the voice was a little old, and I heard him say, "Since you know that you are presumptuous, you should not leave quickly." ”

Daoist Qiu said: "Since you are here, I hope to meet the masters." It's not worth the trip. ”

The coffin became quiet again, as if he hadn't heard Daoist Qiu's words.

I stood by and didn't say a word. As the clock ticked by, I wondered if it wasn't happy to see us. Daoist Qiu looked calm, and he didn't move his steps, as if he was sure that the people inside could speak. Sure enough, after a while, the person inside spoke, "Who is the person standing next to you?" ”

This must have been said to Daoist Qiu, who smiled and said, "You will know who it is if you ask yourself?" ”

A cold snort came from inside the sarcophagus, and he turned to ask me, "Little one, are you a river god?" ”

I was shocked in my heart, he didn't come out of his head from beginning to end, but he knew my existence, and more importantly, he also asked the question that Daoist Qiu had told me before, are you a river god?

I glanced at Daoist Qiu, who bowed his head slightly, probably signaling me to do what he said.

I took a deep breath and said, "I'm not a river god. ”

He sighed, and his tone rose: "Since you are not a river god, why do you have a river god seal?" ”

Daoist Qiu said: "The river god seal was given to him by his master. ”

There was no sound inside, but it didn't take long for me to see a head peeking out, but this head was not a human head, but a turtle's head, and I was a little surprised. Daoist Qiu bowed slightly to show respect.

Turtle lying in the dragon coffin?

Sounds fanciful.

The turtle's mouth is open and closed, and it feels a little grotesque.

The turtle continued to ask me, "You really aren't a river god?" "Its eyes were staring at me, and I felt a little weak when I saw it. Daoist Qiu patted me on the back, and I calmed down a little. Say, I'm not.

The turtle crawled out of the coffin, and when I saw the whole face, I lost my mind, because he had no shell on him, only a soft body, and if it weren't for the fact that the head looked like a turtle, if I had seen its whole body from the beginning, I wouldn't have judged it to be a turtle.

It may be that my gaze attracted its attention, and it faced me, and its voice was mixed with unwillingness: "I don't look very strange, this is all thanks to the East China Sea Dragon Palace, if it weren't for my turtle shell to help me block that knife, I would have died by now." ”

Listening to what he said, I couldn't help but sigh at Daoist Qiu's foresight, it turned out that this turtle had a grudge against the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea. And as a river god, I will definitely be judged to be a dog leg of the East China Sea. Maybe now, it will end up badly.

I touched my forehead and noticed beads of sweat oozing from it.

Daoist Qiu replied: "Since you have a grudge against the East China Sea Dragon Palace, why are you deep in this East China Sea Dragon Palace?" ”

The turtle moved his gaze to Daoist Qiu and said, "This is the bullshit East China Sea Dragon Palace, but someone has set up a formation to trap me here." ”

"Who?" Daoist Qiu continued.

The turtle seemed to hate this person and said: "It's the person in the coffin, but now that his body is pressed on his body, it is estimated that he has not had a good time all these years." ”

Daoist Qiu touched his beard and said, "Are you talking about Yuan Zhen?" ”

These words seemed to immediately anger the turtle, don't mention that shameless villain to me, he is still dreaming of his own son of heaven, the dynasty has fallen, and he just pressed me hard. When I heard him press my master on my body, I immediately felt uncomfortable.

I took a step forward, and Daoist Qiu reached out to stop me, shaking his head at me. At the same time, his gaze looked up, and I followed suit, and I was stunned at this sight!
