Chapter 37: The Flower and the Snake
The sound of breathing paused, like a sleeping beast panting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When I heard the sound of breathing, cold sweat broke down my back until my heels, and even the air around me became cold, and it seemed that the coffin was about to be transformed.
The coffin moved to the sound of breathing, as if it were about to jump, and if I had been left alone, I would have peed my pants.
Then I remembered the prophecy of the Witch King in the silk book, he said that a few people would meet him, and it was probably us, but I didn't expect that we actually came all the way to his main tomb.
The largest tomb is only called the underground palace or the heavenly palace, and the tomb of the witch king can be said to be a combination of the heavenly palace and the underground palace, but after all, the coffin in the main tomb is suspended in mid-air, and I can't define him as an underground palace.
The underground palace is a house built by the tomb owner for his own life in the underworld in ancient times, and it is a typical tomb building composed of stone structures carved out of stone, which is used to place the coffin of the tomb owner, which can generally only be seen in the tombs of emperors and nobles.
But the coffin of the witch king is not in the previous brick-walled tombs, we didn't even find a few ear chambers, only found a general burial chamber used to accompany the burial, although the structure of the ear chamber is not small, but it is not worth mentioning from the structure of the ear chamber in the emperor's underground palace.
The Heavenly Palace is generally built on the top of the mountain, or in the mountain at a relatively high altitude, and the surface will be covered with several layers of stone and soil to cover it, and the tomb of the Witch Spirit King is not only in the mountain, but there is an abyss in the middle.
Coupled with the special structure inside the mountain and those special ores, the whole coffin and the stone platform were floating in the air, which even science could not explain.
As for the tomb of the witch king, it is really hard to say what type of tomb it is, the whole is very irregular, although there are general tomb gates, tomb doors, Shinto or Yongdao, there are also burial ear chambers, but the shape of this main tomb is too strange, it was built in the last position of the entire mausoleum, and it is not according to the routine at all.
However, it is not surprising that since the ancients tried their best to prevent the tomb from being stolen, it is not surprising that some unusual construction methods were adopted.
Ahem, back to the point.
I saw that the lid of the blood jade coffin slowly moved away, and suddenly, a hand stretched out from the edge of the part of the coffin that the master had opened before, and grabbed the coffin lid, and the entire coffin lid was gently patted by that hand, and flew directly out of the stone platform and floated above the abyss.
The hand was blue-black, like moss, and like moldy food, and after a while, the two hands holding the edge of the jade coffin slowly revealed all of it, except for the palm, the rest of the body was covered by brocade-like clothes.
With the appearance of the arm, the whole body of the Witch King was slowly brought up, and the Witch King was dressed in a robe made of brocade, and his long hair was scattered, and when the body was standing in the coffin, we could see through the fluffy hair the hollow eyes on his face, which were completely blood-red, and the face was full of mold.
Abu glanced at the Witch King's terrifying appearance and exclaimed, "Oh my mother! Why don't we say sorry to him! Let it lie back and forget it. But we weren't in the mood to pay attention to such meaningless words.
"Run!" At this time, the master suddenly shouted.
I saw that the Witch Spirit King looked a little sluggish, I didn't remember that the master was already able to speak, and I was still confused about whose voice it was, until my father dragged me away, and I came back to my senses.
"Where are you going?" At this time, Tianming asked.
We looked around, there were no passages, only those blood-red flowers, and the rattans of these flowers were stumbling, and it was easy for people to trip over them, let alone run on them.
Then the woman named Qianyu shouted to us, "Go this way! The side she was referring to was actually the corner they had been in before.
But somehow, when we began to move, the rattans of the flowers began to shake, and rolled towards us frantically, and what kind of plants were there, and they moved faster than snakes, and soon the rattans crossed each other, forming a net-like structure, and pounced on us.
And the witch king in the coffin stood in the coffin but didn't move, suddenly the wind from nowhere blew the witch king's loose hair, I looked at it in a flash, and the appearance under the hair was exactly the same as the master.
I thought it was my eyes, and when I blinked a few times and looked back, I found that it was indeed the same as the appearance of the master, and if the moldy thing on his face was removed, it would be basically the same as the appearance of the master.
But the master has nothing to do with the witch spirit king, how can he look so similar to the master, think about it, maybe it has something to do with the previous behavior of the master in front of the coffin, otherwise this is a difference of thousands of years, how can there be such a coincidence.
When the young master saw that the Witch Spirit King looked the same as himself, he was also shocked, and his expression became confused.
While I was still looking at the Witch King, the rattans were almost on our faces, but I was standing in the middle, so they didn't touch me.
And the next thing is even more loveless, those rattan petals actually hide a small snake-like animal, and then look closely, the small snake-like animal actually has two horns and front feet, isn't this the carving on the sarcophagus?
No wonder the botanical carvings on the sarcophagus were carved with the serpentine animal, which turned out to be symbiotic in their own right.
The young master seemed to know about this animal, and when he saw the animal in the petals, he exclaimed, "Stand back, it's a horned viper, it's highly venomous." "But we don't have time to know exactly what a horn-bellied viper is, only that it's a snake with horns and legs.
Tianming stood at the front and didn't pay attention to the horn-headed viper in those flowers, only to see a horn-headed viper fly out of the petals and bite the back of Tianming's hand.
Seeing this, Abu pulled out a knife from his waist and cursed in his mouth, "I'll fuck your mother." He quickly split the horn-headed viper in half, but although the snake's tail flew out, the snake's head still clung to Tianming's hand.
Tianming tried to shake his hand to shake the snake's head down, but after a while, Tianming's hand began to turn purple and black from the back of his hand, and then began to spread up along his arm, there is no doubt that Tianming has been injected with poison by the snake.
Seeing that Tianming's arm began to turn purple and black, the master did not hesitate at all, and cut off Tianming's left hand with a knife.
Tianming screamed miserably after being cut off and passed out, I was carried away by the situation in front of me, staring blankly at the ground Tianming's severed left hand, I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time, and the fingers of that arm were still moving around on the ground, and the snake on the back of the hand was dead at this time.
"Master! You ..... "Second uncle, my father, Abu, including me, all looked at the master fixedly, this is a hand, and it can be regarded as half of a person's life, no matter how you say it, you can cut it."
"Don't say it, there's no time to explain, take him aside and bandage him first, and I'll leave it here." The master replied indifferently.
My second uncle and I brought Tianming to the passage before that to bandage him, while the woman Qianyu and my father stayed where they were.
"These things are afraid of fire." The master said, I saw those plants getting closer and closer to us, and I don't know how many horn-headed vipers are hidden in the petals.
"Abu, where's the fire fold?" My dad asked.
Abu searched for his body and found that the fire fold was long gone, so he said angrily: "Damn, the fire fold has all fallen into the river." ”
"What now!" My dad also seemed helpless.
At this time, the woman Qianyu replied: "Do you want this?" I saw that she was holding a fire fold in her hand, but I didn't expect that she was still in the mood at this time.
"Yes." The master replied.
Qianyu the woman handed the fire fold to the master, although the rattan was terrifying, but it ignited immediately when it caught fire, when one of them was lit by the master, it quickly spread to the surroundings, and soon burned very vigorously, those peony-like petals were also quickly scorched, and the horned viper inside was burned to the point of making a cricket sound.
The surrounding rattans, which were still approaching us, all shrank back when they felt the temperature of the fire, and no longer continued to surround us.
But there were wolves in front and tigers in the back, and at this time, the Witch Spirit King, who was standing in the coffin, shot two dark red lights in his eyes, staring straight at us.
