Chapter 34: The Monk Is Wounded
In the darkness, the moment the man in the coffin sat up, the back of my head felt chilled, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
We looked closely, but we saw that the person sitting up was dressed in rags, with shriveled skin on his body, looking like a skinny refugee, with dozens of sparse hairs on the top of his head, his eyes closed, and a piece of paper on his forehead.
"This is Empress Dowager Hu?" The old clam muttered.
The Seventh Master walked over slowly, stared at the paper rune, turned his head and asked the Budai monk, "Master, do you know this spirit rune?" ”
The old monk walked over and looked at it, then shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
"What do you care about so much! Anyway, this zombie can't move, let's see if there's anything else in the coffin! The toad couldn't help it, and when he saw that we were all cautious, he simply stepped forward and looked inside.
"Not good!" The old clam suddenly screamed, and we hurriedly looked at him, and saw that the three incense sticks in the old clam's hand were suddenly extinguished!
The toad was stunned for a moment, but saw that the paper spirit talisman on Empress Dowager Hu's forehead trembled slightly, and it slowly floated down!
At the moment when the spirit rune fell, the back of my head felt cold again, but this time, I didn't remind anyone, because the closest to Empress Dowager Hu was a toad!
The toad was naturally not stupid, and his feet were about to retreat at a point, but he didn't expect that the Empress Dowager Hu was faster, and the body sitting in the coffin turned ninety degrees out of thin air, and his hands instantly grabbed the toad's shoulders!
The toad reacted extremely quickly, and when he opened his mouth, he sprayed the chewed blood stone in his mouth on Empress Dowager Hu's face!
"Shhhh
A trace of white smoke instantly appeared on Empress Dowager Hu's shriveled and scorched face, and the toad took the opportunity to escape from the pair of palms like eagle claws, and withdrew with a frightened face.
Liang Ruoyi didn't know when she hid behind me, it seems that such a thing, a woman like her is also very afraid.
The Empress Dowager Hu stretched out her hands and scratched her face a few times, and immediately grabbed several bloody mouths, the bright red bloody mouths reflected the scorched face and gray eyes, which looked particularly terrifying!
With a "pop", under the illumination of two flashlights, Empress Dowager Hu actually rushed out of the coffin and went straight to the toad!
"Seventh Master, Master save me!" The toad is not an expert in this area, but when he yelled, he ran towards me - this bastard is not stupid, and he ran towards me who was the safest of the people while trying to let the seventh master and the cloth bag monk save him!
The cloth bag monk had words in his mouth, and instantly deceived him, stretched out his hand to block the palm of the Empress Dowager Hu, and then retreated and pushed away, reaching out to touch something in the cloth bag.
But the Empress Dowager Hu was unrelenting, and when she saw the Budai monk blocking herself, she turned around and pounced on the Budai monk!
The seventh master who was standing on the side slapped his palms, I don't know what he smashed, a little red appeared in the palm of his palm, he dodged up and stopped in front of the Empress Dowager Hu, his body twisted and dodged a palm, and he came to the side of the Empress Dowager Hu in an instant, and his palms came out together and hit the head of the Empress Dowager Hu fiercely!
The Empress Dowager Hu was like a kite off the line and was shot out by the Seventh Master, and hit the pillar with a "bang".
At this time, the cloth bag monk also took out a paper talisman from his cloth bag, muttered something to it, and came to the front of the Empress Dowager Hu, and slapped the paper talisman on the head of the shriveled zombie!
This Empress Dowager Hu didn't move in an instant......
I just let out a sigh of relief, and said in my heart In this case, even if I am there, it won't make any difference, could it be that a group of you are all hiding behind me, and you want me to play eagle and catch chickens with this dry corpse?!
"Alright, let's go to the sarcophagus."
The seventh master said that he was about to leave, but he heard a muffled roar from the cloth bag monk, and hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw that the Empress Dowager Hu was holding the paper talisman and instantly burst out, and hit the chest of the unsuspecting old monk with a palm, the old monk took a few steps back to see and stand firm, the original white and white face became red, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes that I had never seen before, his hands were folded, he twisted the Buddhist beads, and recited the Buddhist scriptures in his mouth. Slapped on the top of the dried corpse's head!
This time, the corpse's body was shaking violently, as if it had been electrocuted. The Seventh Master was just about to step forward to help, when Liang Ruoyi behind me flashed out, and the short blade flashing with cold light came out of its sheath again, and the head of the dried corpse was split off in one fell swoop!
The detached corpse convulsed a few times, and then stopped moving......
"Poof!"
The Budai monk spit out a mouthful of black blood, staggered down and sat down, looked at me and said, "Master Gu, borrow a drop of your blood to use." ”
I was stunned, and the old monk was injured by the palm of the dry corpse just now, this dry corpse seems to be extremely evil, I just saw that the toad that was touched by it was pale at this time, and his hands trembled a little, and it is estimated that he is using internal force to force out the evil qi, but the cloth bag monk was slapped with a strong palm, and the injury is not trivial.
I hurriedly walked over and saw that the old monk stretched out a hand, and the string of Buddhist beads that were originally ordinary and dull in color was shining with a faint light at this time.
"Drops on the beads?" I asked softly.
The old monk nodded, and I hurriedly bit my fingertips and dripped a drop of blood on the Buddha beads.
The moment the blood fell on the Buddha beads, a golden light flashed from the Buddha beads, and the old monk held it in his hand and placed it on his chest, closed his eyes and breathed.
"Alas......"
I was looking at the Budai monk, and the seventh master behind me sighed: "We have gone in vain again...... There is nothing in this sarcophagus. ”
We hurriedly turned around and walked over to look, and sure enough, there was nothing but some weeds in the sarcophagus.
"! Rain on someone's parade! The toad has almost recovered, stretched out a kick and kicked the sarcophagus, "bang", we only felt a shock under our feet, the heart is not good, the ninth layer below has been washed out of a hole by the underground river, we looked along the hole on the ground, in the dark, the groundwater has been "booming" into the ninth layer.
"Let's go!" The toad was about to go down the tunnel, but before he could go up, he heard a "bang" from above, and it seemed that the seventh floor had also been washed open, and the river rushed in.
"Old clam!" The Seventh Master screamed.
The old clam nodded, took out a folding hammer from his bag, and smashed a hole in the west wall with a few "dong dong": "Everyone get out of here, climb out, be fast, there is also a hole on the ninth floor below, it is estimated that the groundwater will soon flood up!" ”
In the darkness, everyone was a little flustered, the old clam and the seventh master were more familiar with the situation outside, and climbed out first to lead the way, the toad squeezed out in the third, the cloth bag monk looked slightly better, the fourth walked out of the hole, and Liang Ruoyi and I were in the back.
I climbed out of the cave and shone around with a flashlight, and saw that there was a lot of space outside, and countless trees with the thickness of a basin were intertwined, like a huge spider web, forming the supporting structure of the Yongning Pagoda Tomb, which was very spectacular at a glance.
I looked down and saw that the river water on the ninth floor had already gushed out along the hole on the west side, and began to slowly fill the tomb of the Yongning Pagoda, and hurriedly followed Liang Ruoyi's footsteps.
Looking at it in the dark, it is estimated that the distance from the top is about forty or fifty meters, because the wooden beams are very thick, and it is a little difficult to climb up. However, judging by the speed of the rising tide, there should be no problem for us to leave safely.
I just climbed a few steps, and suddenly heard a few muffled noises in the dark, and the seventh master on my head said: "It's not good, everyone, hurry up, the upper layers have also been washed out of the hole, and it is estimated that it will be filled in a few minutes!" ”
Depend on! Hell! I scolded, knowing that I was mediocre among these people, and you still put me last.
After a few words, I was a lot nervous, and I used my hands and feet to climb up with a roll.
At this time, the speed of the water under my feet was soaring, and I could feel the water level rising rapidly just by listening to the sound of the "booming" water, and after a few minutes, I was already covered by the river just over half of the climb.
"Hurry up!" Liang Ruoyi stopped and stretched out a leg towards me, I was stunned, my old face turned red, but I still grabbed her slender calf and climbed up, temporarily escaping from the river under my feet.
"Thank you!" My voice is like a mosquito, I have known each other for the past few months, and this is the first time that Liang Ruoyi has taken the initiative to make some ambiguous movements.
"Sick!" Liang Ruoyi saw that my face was red in the darkness, how could I not know what I was thinking, and scolded and continued to climb up.
I shrugged my shoulders and was just about to catch up with her, when I suddenly felt something rushing out of the water under my feet, and before I could react, I felt that my ankles were tight, and I didn't grasp one of my hands, and I was dragged down with a "poof"!
