Chapter 41: Clever Escape
Who is the person in the coffin?
I can't confirm this, but as far as I can guess, this person is likely to be Zuo Ci or Ge Xuan.
As for the white skeleton above, it only looks like a dead person, but it definitely doesn't have the sense of danger that the corpse exudes after the corpse is raised.
"What the hell" I clasped the jade carving in front of me tightly, without any movement, and even the idea of running away did not arise, so I sat up looking at the corpse so sluggishly.
The corpse was an old man.
The clothes he wore were slightly simple Taoist robes, the Taoist robes were black throughout, there was a gossip pattern sewn with gold wire on the back, and the cuffs of the two sleeves were also embroidered with Long Jiuzi, and the most peculiar place was a picture under the gossip behind the Taoist robe.
It's not so much a diagram as a charm.
The spell pattern of the spell is extremely complex, and I can't understand it at all, and the only thing I can understand is the words below the spell: "Town Mayor"
Suddenly, Kuroko pulled me and motioned for me to look at the lid of the coffin on the ground.
Looking down, there are two large characters engraved on the inside of the coffin lid, two very simple words.
The pen is vigorous, but it looks like there is a sense of weakness in the last years.
"Seeking Immortals"
Many years later, I have been thinking about a question, the two words "seeking immortals" in the coffin lid were engraved by Ge Xuan or Zuo Ci?
I think it is unlikely that Zuo Ci engraved these two words, and it can be seen from the "six hatreds" he left outside, this old-timer is very resistant to God and the so-called Great Dao, and he can't wait to kill him quickly.
Isn't it amusing to ask him to engrave the word "seeking immortals"? Will it be engraved?
If he really engraved these two words, then he would have suddenly shouted to the commander of Little Japan with some loyal soldiers during the anti-Japanese period: "Sir! I'm going to join the Imperial Army Smecta! ”
One meaning, really, is not an exaggeration at all.
So thinking about it this way, it is very likely that it is Ge Xuan who engraved these two words, what is he asking for immortals?
Is it to let the gods come to help his master?
Or is it a simple prayer to ask Heaven to make his master an immortal?
I thought about this question for a long time, and I didn't have an answer until the end.
Just when I was stunned and didn't move, the old man in the Taoist robe suddenly turned his head, and looked at me and Kuroko with resentment in his eyes, and his eyes were full of life.
Its eyes are very different from those of a living person.
Anyway, its eyes looked devoid of moisture, really, even showing some signs of shriveling.
His face was as pale as an ordinary corpse, and his wrinkled appearance was not as kind as an old man should be, but full of gloom.
"Troublesome"
While muttering in my heart, I saw the corpse stand up violently and rush over, raising its hand and seemingly pinching my neck without force, and its mouth was wide open as if it was roaring, but I couldn't hear it.
At that time, I didn't feel any pain, nor did I feel any discomfort, just a dizziness in my brain, which should be a symptom of lack of oxygen.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a few wisps of scarlet in the water, and the place where the scarlet came out was my neck.
No one expected what Kuroko would do next.
Naturally, even I didn't expect him to do that.
I saw that the sunspot was stunned for a while, and rushed towards the corpse, standing behind it, holding the corpse's neck tightly with both hands, and a hideous expression gradually appeared on his face.
It's a pity that a corpse is a corpse, not a living person, and it doesn't feel pain, and it doesn't have to breathe, and of course it won't have any uncomfortable reaction when it is strangled, but it seems to hate having flies around its ears.
"Kuroko !!" I wanted to shout these two words out, but I didn't dare to open my mouth, I have seen the matter of being choked in Fengtianfu, and I don't want to be stupid again.
The old man's left hand was raised lightly, and he grabbed the hand that was holding his neck and squeezed it gently.
That's right, it was a gentle pinch, and the little arm of Kuroko's left hand seemed to have turned into plasticine, and it was easily pinched into an irregular shape, and it was pinched much thinner in an instant, and I guess he couldn't do it with this hand.
Sensei said sunspots, I felt pain when I saw this, and of course, I felt lucky.
Fortunately, this corpse didn't come up and killed me, but he just stuck his finger in me, otherwise I would really have to die here and never be able to live with the sunspot.
Afterwards, I pondered why it killed me if it didn't come up directly, I feel that at first, it was because we didn't do anything, so the hostility was not strong, and it didn't kill it directly, and it was ready to look at us first and then kill me and the sunspot, as for the later sunspot for what would be pinched off a hand, it was because he did it.
Kuroko seemed very calm at this time, even if the word pain was written on his face, he didn't dare to open his mouth.
From the time I got into the water, until now, the time has been about two minutes.
If you don't get out of the water and give me a chance to breathe, I'll die, really.
"Let go of me," the scene in front of me gradually blurred, and the discomfort of holding my breath suddenly left me.
At that moment, no, it should have been more than ten seconds, and I felt an inexplicable warmth.
It's like being shrouded in the lazy sun, and the whole body is full of laziness, and I don't even want to move, so it's a pleasure to stay like this.
A sense of powerlessness, or a subjective consciousness that doesn't want to move, is leading my body.
I just want to stay quiet, that's all
"Boom !!"
There was a loud bang, and even the bottom of the pool shook, so you can imagine how exaggerated this explosion was.
I didn't have to look up to see that the bottom of the pool lit up suddenly, like the kind of light that lightning cut through the sky outside the window of my room, dazzling and shocking.
The old man was also stunned by this explosion, like a living person, subconsciously looked up, opened his mouth and roared silently, his eyes full of fierce light.
Immediately, it threw me out and smashed it on the jade coffin.
Kuroko also suffered the same treatment, but he was worse than me, his left hand had long been pinched out of shape, and the person flew out of the body and smashed beside me.
At that time I thought I was going to die.
In the next second, I think the north fairy, are you really benevolent enough! If we go out, we will have to worship our sons as brothers!
Kuroko and I watched in horror as the corpse took a few steps towards us, and then kicked the ground with both legs, and the whole person swam straight to the surface of the water, with clumps of white foam behind him that had appeared due to the rapid swimming speed.
"Master Zu bless, !!" I didn't dare to delay too much, so I helped Kuroko up and looked at him worriedly.
Kuroko suddenly laughed, without making a sound or opening his mouth, but the upturned corners of his mouth made me sure that he was laughing.
I thought he was crazy and stimulated.
But when he pointed to the jade carving not far away, I smiled too, and smiled very happily.
Previously, the coffin lid lifted by the corpse was smashed at us, but the distance between us and the coffin lid was not close, and the resistance of the water interfered with it, so the coffin lid did not cause us any actual damage.
But there is something between us and the lid of the coffin, and that is the jade carving!
The jade carving bore the brunt of the coffin lid and flew half a meter, and rolled a few times on the sand under the water, completely exposing the hole under the jade carving.
It was a cave, and I didn't know how deep it was, but I felt like there was hope.
"Quick!! It's going to be out in no time!! "I've been holding my breath to the point of being half dead, but I still have to keep holding back, and now I can only swim as fast as I can into the cave and find a way out.
If I carefully calculate the time to hold my breath this time afterwards, then I will definitely sigh in surprise: "It seems that there are successors to our Chinese swimming team!" ”
This time, I held my breath for three minutes, and although my brain was already confused, I felt that I could hold it for a while, maybe this is the potential of people at work.
The cave is a waterway similar to a tunnel, the entrance is small, but the area inside is not small, enough for five or six people to swim in it, and the four walls are full of potholes, which is very natural, not like it was dug out by hand.
At first, I was swimming in a cave with a sunspot.
And then it was the sunspot who dragged me around
Maybe it's a minute, maybe it's two minutes, and just when I'm close to being unconscious, I just hear a noise in my ears, and my face suddenly has a cold feeling.
This seems to be the wind?!
I just opened my eyes with great difficulty to see the situation around me, but I didn't expect that as soon as my eyes opened, I vomited with a wow, coughing while spitting, and was involuntarily carried by the sunspot to the shore.
We were in a small pool, the water in the middle was deep, and the bottom of the water was where we got out, but fortunately the pool was not big, otherwise we would have had to swim for a while to get ashore.
The waterhole was no bigger than half a basketball court, and after two swims, I could feel my feet on the bottom.
"Alive, alive" I wanted to laugh, but I still didn't laugh, so I could only follow the natural reaction of my body, lying on the ground and vomiting.
"Haha We're still alive!! Kuroko laughed wildly with red eyes.
