Chapter 72: The Dragon Groans at the Bottom of the Coffin
The man sat at the table, unable to see in the dim light.
"Coming back?" He looked at him, his voice was hoarse, with a thick nasal voice, as if he had a serious illness, and he was half-lying on the Taishi chair on one side, swaying like a stormy boat.
"Old man, it's big enough this time!" The young man remained in the shadows, and he poured himself a cup of hot tea, and in the dark shadows he could only see the rising steam.
"It's not big compared to the other." The old man laughed, this laugh was a little old, like a lone living person who was struggling to survive.
"Did you bring anything?" He coughed.
Stretching out his left hand in the candlelight, which was as thin as dry bones, the young man looked at his hand like air-dried old bacon and chuckled, "What about it?" Still tossing? ”
"How?" The voice changed tone again, a serious question.
He changed his hand, but he saw that the hand was fleshy, and its skin was pink and tender, like a newborn baby.
"See? I'm not old. He sneered.
"Got it." The young man's voice also sank, and he lost his previous frivolity.
He added, "It's going to cost you a long life." There was a hint of concern in the young man's tone.
"Now that I can wake up again, what is the point of life? For people like us, life has long been meaningless. The man sighed, "What about outside?" ”
"It's the same!" The young man said, "I don't know how long my skin has lasted." ”
"You don't have to worry about this, someone will help you." The old man said, "All you have to do is find that person and bring him here." ”
"There's an interesting thing. Want to hear it? The young man said suddenly, "The blood moon has reappeared. ”
"Moonlight Twin Moons?" The old man was stunned, "Hasn't it been long since it appeared?" ”
"You have been doing the mountain god here for a long time, and you have few days to wake up, so naturally you don't know the years, it's been seven years."
"What's going on this time?" The old man obviously felt unusual, "I don't even feel it." ”
"You said we've been hiding from that guy for so long, shouldn't we go out and meet?" The young man got up, and the light of the candle standing in the middle became fainter and fainter, and a dark shadow always hung over him.
"Hah!" The old man smiled suddenly, turned over and fell into the stone coffin on the side of the Taishi's chair.
The coffin clicked and closed.
"Hahahaha!" He laughed, "Little doll, you're not my Anu. ”
"Anu is dead." The young man was stunned for a moment and then said indifferently, "That person has such a ability, so you don't even dare to mention your name?" Don't you want to avenge Anu? ”
"Anu? Hahahaha. The old man laughed arrogantly, "Little doll, you overestimate yourself. Anu is just a dog, and the big things of the older generation, don't follow the foolishness. ”
"But the mage said the sky was falling."
"Mage? Which old ghost is it again? I don't know. The old man laughed, looking like a fool.
"Bang bang." Crisp applause rang out in the darkness, "Since you're going to shrink, I'll help you." ”
"What do you want?" The old man was in a hurry.
The coffin tossed and shook several times, and a group of black-clothed people quietly appeared in the darkness at some point, as if they had been dormant for a long time, and they were ready to lift the stone coffin with a jack.
"Don't mess around."
The young man shook the bell in his hand, and the men in black also stopped numbly and stood dumbfounded.
"What do you think?" Young man. "You know the cruelty in your heart, even more than the one you are afraid of. What does it mean that the sky has fallen, who is the mage, and why has he disappeared for so long and reappeared. You should know all this. ”
"Count it out, we can be regarded as the same family, uncle, don't pretend to be confused."
"The Tao is different." The old man was silent for a long time before he said, "Back then, I also promised Cang Li not to ask about the world again. Moreover, I am already a sinner at the Seven Gates, and I will atone for my sins here. I can't help you with your business. ”
"But Master Cangli has returned, and you don't want to know what he got from there? This time, it was not the master who invited him to go, but he took the initiative to find the door. The young man took a deep breath, "Otherwise, do you really think that my junior can find here, and even more so that he can find a trace of "Anu" in the vast sea of people?" ”
"You're serious about asking me to get out of here?"
"Yes."
"I can't go." The old man sighed, "Go back and tell your master that Cang Li has changed, and he is not the same Cang Li as before." ”
Then he laughed, and the laughter in the dark cave was so dark that it made people's hearts tremble. However, it is nothing to a young man who has been dealing with the dead for a long time.
"Hey, hey, sure enough, the rumors are true.
There are two firmaments in this world, the good ones go without traces, the evil ones make up for them, and the sky begins with him. ”
"What?" The young man was stunned, for he had heard it in his ears for some time.
It's just that I can't remember. Like many things in the past, he heard it from the Master.
"Let's go, if you can lift me, I'll carry it!" The old man smiled, "I am a sinner of the Seven Gates, and it is my sin to let your master go." I haven't thought about going out since I got here. Let's go, let's go, I'm tired too.
Tell him that I can't wake up the person who is pretending to be asleep, and all I can do is to be another person who is pretending to be asleep. Fight a bucket, who pretends to be longer, pretends to be more like.
As for when he wakes up, whether the sky falls or not, it has nothing to do with me. ”
"What the hell do you mean?" The young man had been in a state of astonishment, and only now did he gradually come to his senses.
"Later, you'll understand."
From then on, the cave was quiet. The old man seemed to have fallen asleep.
The young man stood for a long time, and after a long time, he shook the bell and made a jingling sound, and the black-clothed men who stood like puppets slowly carried the sarcophagus.
But unlike just now, they only raised a corner, and a strange suction force came from the ground, like the positive and negative poles of a magnet attracting each other, dragging them to the ground.
Apparently, the young man also noticed the problem, and he hurriedly shook the bell to stop the people.
Crouching down, in the darkness he saw a golden glow emerging from the bottom of the sarcophagus, as if there was a world of its own below.
"Old tortoise!" He cursed, and shook the bell to instruct the man in black to continue carrying the coffin, but he took out a small blue and white porcelain vase from his body.
Slowly poured it into the light, but he didn't want to shake the mountain suddenly, and there was an ancient roar from the ground, and for a while the wind and sand were flying in the cave, but only the stone coffin did not move for half a minute.
The roar also caused the young man's eardrum to burst, but he still knew it.
There's something underground.
"Old turtle, I know why you didn't go." He couldn't hear it, but he could still speak.
"It's not that you're afraid that Old Ghost Mo will arrest you again, it's not because of Master Cangli's persuasion, and it's not because you're breaking off with my master. You're going to guard what's down there. ”
"Hahaha, something that Master has always wanted to find. I didn't expect that the old ghost Mo would let you be a sinner to guard, it was a dragon just now, I heard it......"
"It's the sin dragon, it's something that the ancient family has been keeping with their lives for generations.
Gu Qiuyue has been dead for so many years, and Qimen has also changed her surname to become the Mo family's dominance, is it meaningful for you Qimen to keep these secrets for her?
The Mo family, but there is only one old ghost! ”
