Chapter 16, the ghost blows the lamp!
"Get down!"
Wang Chao shouted. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
In an instant, on each wall, clusters of bronze arrows shot out from the heads of tiger-shaped stone carvings next to several reliefs.
Shout! Shout!
As soon as the arrows were fired, they made a sharp whistling sound in the air in the burial chamber, with a cold light.
Dangdang!
Crashing, penetrating, shrill whistling, clanging into one piece!
Fortunately, a few people lay down for the first time, and hundreds of arrows shot in all directions in the small tomb, some of them popped, all of them were submerged in the stone wall, and some of them bounced off the hard relief surface and fell to the ground.
After half a ring, the burial chamber returned to calm.
"Are you all alright?" Wang Chao stood up and hurriedly asked.
"Brother Wang, I'm fine." Yingzi's voice sounded in the corner for the first time.
Then, everyone turned on their flashlights, patted the dust on their bodies and stood up, and no one was hurt.
Breathed a sigh of relief.
The fat man stood up, and was afraid for a while: "This damn mechanism is really ruthless, ten thousand arrows are sent together, and I was almost skewered into a sugar gourd!" β
After speaking, he looked at a cracked arrow on the ground, and wanted to kick it when he went up.
"Fat brother, don't!"
Yingzi noticed that there were a few arrows on the ground with a trace of strange liquid dripping from the tips, which actually corroded the ground into small holes, and just happened to raise his head to see the fat man's movements, and couldn't help but exclaim.
The fat man didn't react.
His foot was about to kick an arrow to the ground!
It's too late, it's too soon.
Wang Chao, who was standing on the side, shrank the pupils of his eyes, and his face changed when he looked at the fat man's death.
In a very fast moment, his figure moved, and his big hand suddenly grabbed the fat man!
Like an eagle catching a rabbit, Wang Chao grabbed the fat man's back collar and lifted him up with one hand, like a wire-controlled puppet, and threw him aside.
Neat!
"Brother Wang, what are you doing?" The fat man was startled.
"I said fatty, don't die, take a closer look at the ground!" Wang Chao said angrily.
The fat man hurriedly looked down.
I saw that under the illumination of the light, I could clearly see that the arrows at my feet corroded the ground of the tomb into tiny pits, and the nose moved, and a pungent smell made people frown.
The arrows are stained with a strong corrosive liquid!
Only then did the fat man realize what he had done, and he was suddenly frightened that the three spirits ascended to heaven and the five souls went out of his body.
The thing on this arrow can even corrode the ground, and if it falls on a person, it must be the melting of white bones and the cutting off of half a life!
"Fatty, take a fucking good look!" Hu Bayi was also frightened into a cold sweat, slapped the fat man's head, and said, "You can kick this thing indiscriminately?" What did I say when I first came down, you must pay attention to safety, have you forgotten Lao Tzu's words again, don't kick things in the future! β
The fat man sneered: "No, no, I promise there will be no next time!" β
Then he turned to Wang Chao again.
"Brother Wang, it's really thanks to you now, otherwise the fat lord and my old life would have to be explained here!" He pulled Wang Chao's arm, and he was grateful for a while, and he was indeed sincere.
"It's okay......"
That's when --
"Boom...... Boom...... Rumble......"
There was a sudden sound of stones turning in the tomb, and several people looked around with flashlights, and then the sound of iron chains dragging on the ground sounded in the center of the tomb.
Crash......
I saw that the huge stone in the center of the original tomb was flipped to both sides, the chains were raised and lowered, and between the opening and closing, a magnificent giant coffin slowly rose and appeared in front of the three people.
It's a big boxy coffin!
"The mechanism is really here!"
A few people were surprised, took a flashlight, and walked forward cautiously.
The coffin of the tomb owner is not small in size, it is mahogany black lacquer, the workmanship is fine, it is painted with all kinds of animal pattern ornaments, the pale gold pattern and ochre mahogany complement each other, the color and shape are very strange, this should be related to the national totem of the Jurchen people.
This coffin is made of high-quality materials, although it is not as good as those royal relatives, it can be regarded as extremely luxurious.
"Good fellow, this good thing must be here!" The fat man's eyes lit up, his heart was hot, and he rubbed his hands and was about to go up to open the coffin.
"Wait a minute..."Hu Bayi grabbed him.
The fat man said with a bitter face: "What's the matter?" β
"We have to follow the rules!"
"What rules?" The fat man was visibly stunned.
Hu Bayi didn't speak, took out a compass, compared the position of the other party, and walked towards the southeast corner of the tomb.
Wang Chao looked at it and knew what was going on, so he took the candle and lighter and handed it over.
"Lao Hu, give."
Hu Bayi took it, and under the watchful eyes of Yingzi and the fat man with puzzled expressions, he lit the candle and carefully placed it under the corner of the wall in the southeast corner.
"Brother Hu, what is this for?" Yingzi asked.
Hu Bayi stood up.
"People light candles, ghosts blow out lamps, this is the rule left by the elders! The meaning is in the southeast corner, and the coffin can only be opened by lighting a candle. If the candle is extinguished, you have to withdraw quickly, and you can't take anything, this is the rule left by the ancestors, passed down from generation to generation, and no exceptions can be made......"
"Oh, I remember!" The fat man suddenly said, "This is the last time you and Brother Wang talked to the big golden tooth about blowing up the lamp?" β
Wang Chao also nodded, this method is a necessary ritual for this line of inverted fighting, whether it is useful or not, for thousands of years, it is to seek peace of mind.
"Ghost blowing out the lamp? It's so scary...... Yingzi shuddered, "Won't there really be a ghost in this tomb?" β
"It's nothing, Yingzi, don't be afraid, all cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods are paper tigers! Lao Hu, seeing that you talk a lot, it scares our eldest sister! The fat man smiled, looking like he was not afraid of heaven and earth.
Yingzi was a little relieved.
Wang Chao reminded again at this time: "Fatty, don't say I didn't tell you, after the coffin is opened, don't move blindly, see the situation clearly, don't fall into the mouse hole again!" β
"Know, know, hehe......"
Several people stopped in front of the coffin and looked up and down.
"Look at it, this carving, this momentum, this workmanship, it is estimated that this general has been fighting horses for a lifetime, and there is only this coffin left, and it is worth a little money......" Hu Bayi walked around the coffin, smacking in surprise.
"Go, go, don't crow's mouth!" The fat man glared at him, "What did you say about that?" Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth! At least there's a sword or something, it's useless to just say that you don't practice, we have to open it and see it! β
"Do you really want to open it?" Yingzi's face was not good.
"Yingzi, don't you know, in ancient times, the Jin soldiers went south to destroy the Song Dynasty, and they did some burning, killing and looting, I don't know how many of our Han family members were killed, and the evil they did was the same as the little devils!" The fat man said with a serious face, clenching his fists in righteous indignation, as if he hated what Jin Bing had done.
"These grandsons have robbed a lot of gold and silver treasures, and the general lying here may bring some of his loot into the ground, anyway, they are all treasures of our Han people, so be polite to him! Let's let the national treasure reappear in the light of day, this is called patriotism, understand? β
This bluffed Yingzi for a moment, and he couldn't refute it.
"It seems to be this ......reason," Yingzi muttered, but the fat man's words always sounded a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange.
"Yingzi, in this way, you can stay by the side and take a picture for us!" Wang Chao handed her the flashlight.
Hu Bayi also spoke: "By the way, take a look at the candle!" β
Yingzi had no choice but to agree.
"Come on, come on, let's get started!" The fat man got excited.
The fat man is full of energy.
It's all on this, there's no reason to retreat, even if it's dangerous, as long as there is a baby, it's out!
The three old men each took a sapper shovel, inserted it into the gap of the coffin board, prying it hard, several people worked together, and after a while, the coffin made a "creaking" sound, and finally pried open a large crack, and each changed its position again, and pried up the coffin nails one by one.
"Alright, you get out of the way, I'll push it away!"
Wang Chao said hello, and the two hurriedly stood aside.
"Hah!"
Wang Chao let out a low sigh, stood in front of the coffin, his hind feet against the ground, and pushed his hands the coffin lid.
The coffin that has been pried up with nails has been pried up, although it is still very heavy, but in Wang Chao's opinion, it is nothing.
Rumble!
He was extremely fierce, his hands suddenly exerted force, and in the amazed eyes of several people, he pushed the coffin board to the ground at once, and the things in the coffin were unobstructed.
Take a closer look.
Sure enough, the coffin was opened and the corpse was seen!
I saw a tall male corpse lying quietly inside, with a dark gold mask on his face, the water in the corpse had evaporated, and all the muscles had atrophied, leaving only the purple dry skin wrapped in the bone frame, which had been relatively well preserved for nearly a thousand years.
"It's not rotten!" Hu Bayi's pupils contracted.
Wang Chao took a deep breath and strode forward.
Without taboo, he reached out and took off the mask on the face of this stiff but not rotten corpse, and immediately started coldly, it seemed to be an unknown metal mixed with gold, the shape was quite peculiar, and the pattern was simple.
However, Wang Chao knew that in the original plot, this thing was not taken seriously by the fat man and his gang, so he didn't take it away, but afterwards, the expert of the big golden tooth knew about this stubble, and he decided that he was a valuable guy!
Very extraordinary.
At this time, without the cover of the mask, the owner of the tomb suddenly revealed his true appearance.
Although the facial features of this corpse collapsed, and the eyes and nose had become black hollows, the face was still vaguely recognizable, about forty or fifty years old, wearing a crown facing the sky, wearing a red and blue-edged gold silk embroidered robe, wearing cloud-stepping boots on its feet, and holding its hands tightly in front of its chest.
At a glance, it looks majestic!
Just by dressing up, you can see how high and powerful this general was back then, and ordinary people didn't have this glory.
Yingzi stretched out her head from behind the fat man and glanced inside, screamed, and quickly looked away, not daring to look again.
"Don't be afraid!" Wang Chao smiled.
It's not the first time he's seen a corpse, but he thinks he has a system, his mentality has already gradually changed, plus the strength in his body, he has no fear in his heart, not to mention Hu Bayi and the fat man.
The flashlight shone brightly, and everyone looked at it and found that there was nothing in the coffin except a corpse.
"No, this general is too poor!" The fat man didn't want to believe it, so he stuck his head in and looked for it for a long time, and finally cried out in disappointment.
"It's really not ......" Hu Bayi was also a little stunned, after all, he had been busy for so long, and he didn't gain anything.
Suddenly, the fat man stopped howling and his eyes flashed.
Looking at the gorgeous clothes on the corpse, he swallowed saliva for a while, he wanted to "search" the general's body.
The fat man put down the sapper shovel, folded his hands, bowed to the ancient corpse in the coffin three times, and muttered: "This, we are curious for a while, uh... Mistakenly enter the Peach Blossom Spring, borrow a few things on your body to go back, if you offend, don't blame it! In the future, we will definitely pay for the construction of bridges and roads to improve people's lives! I, Wang Fatzi, must also learn from Lei Feng to do good deeds, love and hate clearly, do not forget the roots, stand firm and have a strong fighting spirit......"
"Okay, you." Hu Bayi patted him, interrupting his mouth, seeing his careful thoughts, he frowned and said, "This ancient corpse hasn't rotten after so many years, something is wrong, you have to touch it to collect snacks, don't break the corpse!" β
"Okay, okay! It's okay, you rest, I'll do this kind of rough work, hehe! β
The fat man bared his teeth and agreed, but he couldn't hold it anymore, so he bit the flashlight in his mouth, and reached out to touch the corpse.
"Fatty, slow down!" Wang Chao didn't plan to stop the fat man, just admonished.
The fat man stuck his head out of the coffin and answered a few times.
Hu Bayi was uneasy, and jumped directly off the tomb to look at the candle in the corner, while Wang Chao sat aside and played with the mask in his hand.
Although he is familiar with the plot, Wang Chao does not break it, just sit and wait for the fat man to "activate" the corpse, he is now as powerful as a tiger and leopard, and he is not afraid in his heart.
Wang Chao suddenly calculated, and it had been seven or eight days since he crossed over.
So he secretly asked the system when he could go back to the real world. He knew that the stubble of the Savage Gully was over, and it would take a month or two to finally reach the Exquisite Ancient City in the desert.
He's a little homesick.
After all, there are still old fathers and mothers over there, as well as a sister who has just entered college, and I miss it a little bit in my heart.
γDing! γ
I haven't seen you for a few days, and the voice of the system rings in my head again.
[Every time the host crosses the plane world, he must complete the main quest issued by the system to return, otherwise he will stay in the plot world until the task is completed, if he gives up the task, it will be regarded as a mission failure, and the host will suffer the corresponding punishment! ] γ
[However, in view of the fact that the host is crossing for the first time, the system gives certain novice benefits, the world does not release any tasks, and the host only needs to capture the luck value to reach 100 points, and the time is not limited, you can choose to return and complete the first crossing! ] γ
Wang Chao was stunned.
As soon as his mind moved, he clicked on the personal attributes in the system interface.
"Currently, the host's personal information is:
Name: Chao Wang
Permission level: Lv0
Age: 24
Lineage: Terran
Luck value: 60 points
(+10 for changing the plot trend; +15 for adding fuel to the fire; +10 for participating in the plot; +20 for gaining the favor of the plane protagonists Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan; +5 for learning the art of Yin and Yang Feng Shui.) οΌ
Stamina: 2 (1 for normal humans)
Strength: 3 (1 for normal humans)
Dexterity: 2 (1 for normal humans)
Other skills: Yin and Yang Feng Shui [Low Level], Tiger Wolf Divine Power Blessing [Permanent]"
It's like a game interface.
Wang Chao was stunned, and then laughed.
However, seeing that the luck value captured in this world, no more, no less, just reached 60 points, Wang Chao frowned slightly.
These days, accompanying Hu Bayi and the fat man to prepare for the trip, going to the ganggang camp, and trekking through the mountains and old forests, Wang Chao thinks that he has actively participated in the plot, and he has worked so hard to get such a little bit in a scattered way, and there is still some distance from the goal of 100 points.
Wang Chao sighed softly.
At this time, the fat man suddenly screamed in surprise.
"Lao Hu, I've found something good! I'll just say, how can such a big tomb have no treasures, it turns out that they are all clutched in the hands of this bastard! β
When a few people looked at it, the fat man groped out two pieces of jade from the coffin, and his eyebrows were smiling, and he was overjoyed.
Wang Chao's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought that if he killed this zombie monster, he should have a lot of luck, right?
At the same time that the fat man was elated-
The candle flame in the southeast corner of the tomb suddenly flickered strangely, snorted, and quietly extinguished!
