Chapter 275: The Coffin
Because this fir tree is a little different from other trees, there is only a straight and tall trunk, and there are few forked branches, even if most of them can't resist the weight of a normal person, after Zhao Man and I climbed this fir tree, because of the lack of focus, we can only hold the trunk tightly with both hands and arms to avoid sliding down.
Not only that, but this fir tree was full of protruding hard bark, and I hugged the trunk of the tree, only to feel that my belly seemed to be on top of an iron plate full of nails, and my whole body hurt for a while!
"Thirteen, you hold the trunk tightly, I borrow your shoulder to step on it, can you do it?" Zhao Man, who was above me, looked down at me at this time and asked.
"Okay, you can step on it with confidence, you can bear it!" I promised.
"Okay." Zhao Man slowly took a few steps back as she spoke, stretched out her feet, stepped on my shoulders, and after having a focus point, she hugged the tree trunk tightly with one hand, took out a pistol with the other hand, and carefully aimed at the "sharp-mouthed kings" who were still shouting below.
At this moment, Zhao Man gathered intently, opened his mouth and exhaled lightly, quickly pulled the trigger, with a crisp gunshot, I hurriedly looked down, and suddenly saw that one of the "sharp-beaked kings" leaning on our fir tree was shot in the head and was killed on the spot!
Seeing this, I was about to exclaim, "Okay!" But before I could utter my words, I felt something fall from my neck and directly onto my back, and then I felt a burning sensation in my back!
Uncle's! Dude is really sad enough, don't even think about it, it was definitely the bullet casing that burst out of Zhao Man's pistol and fell into my neck collar again, why am I so unlucky, this is the second time I have been burned by the bullet casing in Zhao Man's pistol......
Zhao Man, who stepped on my shoulder, seemed to notice that my body was trembling just now, and hurriedly lowered his head and asked me:
"Thirteen, what's wrong with you, can you still hold on?"
"It's okay, you can hold on, you aim and shoot, and kill the group of kings and calves below!!" I tightened the collar of my clothes and said to Zhao Man.
After Zhao Man heard my words, he smiled softly, didn't say anything, and once again focused on aiming with one eye, pulled the trigger, the bullet flew out, and shot a "sharp-mouthed king" under the tree.
As Zhao Man's gunshots continued to come from overhead, all the "sharp-beaked kings" chasing under our tree were shot by Zhao Man as live targets.
It wasn't until the last "sharp-mouthed king" was killed that Zhao Man and I climbed down from the top of the tree one after another, standing under the tree, surrounded by a very bad smell, I can't tell what it smelled like, but it definitely wouldn't be bloody, it was very pungent, and it was disgusting in the air.
Looking down at the "sharp-beaked kings" who died on the ground, I was very puzzled, saying that these ants are still stealing life, and the IQ of these "sharp-beaked kings" is definitely above the ants, but they would rather die than flee with their lives, what is the reason?
Is there anything that can control them anymore?
"Thirteen, let's go, let's go see the dirt pit in front of us." At this time, Zhao Man replaced the pistol with bullets and made a gesture to me to move forward.
"Sister Zhao Man, it's not that I'm talkative, I don't think we need to go to see that lonely grave, let's go back early tomorrow morning, we won't be troublesome." I followed behind Zhao Man and said to her.
After Zhao Man heard my words, he turned to me and said:
"Do you think I'm really that nosy? The wilderness lonely grave, the probability of corpse fungi in the vicinity of the coffin is the most, because of natural conditions, even the ancient tomb is not as good, don't you want your ghost daughter-in-law to resume her Taoism as soon as possible? ”
Hearing Zhao Man's words, I immediately understood why Zhao Man had to go to the lonely grave, it turned out to be for the corpse fungus inside, although my biggest hope now is to be able to reborn An Rushuang as a human, but the road to find Luohe Shenshui and Kunlun Seven Tricks Exquisite Fruit has a long way to go, and there must be difficulties and obstacles during this period, so let An Rushuang recover the previous Dao Xing, and become stronger little by little, it will definitely be able to help, even if it can't fully recover the Dao, but the most bad can protect itself.
So thinking of this, I thanked Zhao Man:
"Thank you, Sister Zhao Man."
Zhao Man waved his hand at me, and said to me without looking back:
"No thanks, your ghost daughter-in-law actually saved my life before." With that, she walked towards the pit first.
After returning to the vicinity of the pit with Zhao Man again, Zhao Man jumped down, and then carefully shone under the pit with a flashlight, and then looked up and said to me:
"Thirteen, come down and help, most of this coffin has leaked out of the earth, some years, it looks like a ceremonial coffin, and there are no dead people in it at all."
Hearing Zhao Man's words, I was puzzled, and while walking down, I opened my mouth and asked Zhao Man:
"Coffin? What is a coffin? ”
"You don't even know that? Thanks to you are still the Taoist priest of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, the so-called coffin, as the name suggests, is a coffin for others as a gift, our country is big, the customs are different, sometimes it will really make people jaw-dropping, in many places in the south of our country, in the early years, people even fashioned to give gifts with coffins, thinking that the coffin, in fact, is to promote the "official" and make a "fortune", it is very auspicious to give away, the complexity and even contradictory characteristics of our Chinese culture, in the coffin is also a verification. Zhao Man explained to me while looking at the coffin under the pit.
After listening to Zhao Man's words, I couldn't help but say a little tactfully, this coffin is given out as a gift, I have heard of it for the first time, I dare not guarantee it elsewhere, but if it is my hometown, if I send a coffin to someone as a gift, I will give it out of ten.
"It turns out that this is the case, but Sister Zhao Man, who do you say will bury this coffin in this place if there is nothing to do at home? Also, if there is no corpse in the coffin, does it mean that there will be no corpse bacteria in the coffin? I looked at Zhao Man and asked.
Zhao Man straightened up and said to me:
"In the past, after the death of the owner, the coffin had to be sent out and buried, so it is not surprising that this coffin appeared here. As for this corpse fungus, thirteen, you are not right, this corpse fungus is not born of a corpse, but a kind of yin qi integrated after years of accumulation of yin qi produced by the corpse, so as long as there is yin qi nearby, there is a coffin buried under the soil, there may be corpse fungus, but from ancient times to the present, as long as there are coffins and yin qi, most of the dead people who are accompanied by corpse transformation, so it will give people a misjudgment that the corpse fungus is produced by dead people and zombies, in fact, as long as the innate conditions are met, corpse bacteria will be produced. As for whether there were dead people in the coffin, this is not a key factor. ”
"That's okay, anyway, there are no dead people in this coffin, and I don't have a psychological burden, let's open it quickly." As I spoke, I prepared to open the coffin.
In this way, Zhao Man and I picked up a thicker branch nearby, and started on top of this soil pit, although this coffin is under the soil pit, but fortunately, most of it leaks out, and only a small part of the wet soil pressed on the top of the coffin is pushed away with a wooden stick.
In less than half an hour, Zhao Man and I pushed away all the wet soil on the coffin lid, Zhao Man did not pause, pulled out a military dagger from the thigh, and inserted it directly into the gap between the coffin lid and the coffin body, and raised his arm hard, with a squeak, the coffin lid was opened.
There were no coffin nails nailed to this coffin, so I hurriedly went over to help, lifted the coffin lid with both hands, and worked hard with Zhao Man at the same time, and directly opened the coffin lid.
As the lid of the coffin landed, a burst of black yin qi visible to the naked eye suddenly floated out from the coffin, Zhao Man saw this and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, and hurriedly pulled me back a few steps, keeping a distance from this coffin.
"Sister Zhao Man, why is there no dead person in the coffin, but there is still yin qi?" I looked at Zhao Man and asked puzzled.
Zhao Man turned his head to look at me and explained:
"The balance of yin and yang in this world, not all yin qi is generated after death, there is no corpse in the coffin, but there is yin qi, although there is not much, but there is also."
……
At this point, the two of us stood near the dirt pit and waited for a while, and saw that all the yin qi in the coffin below had dissipated, so Zhao Man took me towards the coffin.
As I got closer, I stuck my head out and looked into the coffin, and by the bright moonlight, when I saw what was in the coffin, I was stunned! The heart also began to beat wildly at this moment.
Because...... Because I saw that in this not very big coffin, there were several pieces of corpse fungi of different sizes and colors!!
