Volume 2 Xia He Chapter 15 Mr. Wu Temple (5)
The candlelight shone on his face covered with weedy hair and beard, and he approached the coffin, his thick palms fumbling under the coffin stall, only to hear a soft "click", and with a gentle push of his hands on the coffin lid, the lid slid towards the end where I was standing, and did not stop until two-thirds of the way inside.

This coffin is also set up with a mechanism, now I understand. Picking up beckoned to me, and I tightened my grip on the pig-killing knife, stepped around to his side, and looked into the coffin.
There was a biting chill in the coffin, and when I looked around, it was empty, except for a few robes.
This scared me again. I clearly felt that there was a big toad inside, how could it be empty?
Before I could speak, he reached out and wrenched it inside, and the bottom of the coffin flipped out, revealing another layer of the coffin bottom and a small rectangular hole below.
There is also a mezzanine at the bottom of the coffin? I looked down in surprise, a strong self after a violent attack, I only had time to instinctively protect the body, then I felt a light, fell into the small hole in the coffin, in the crisis I left hand clasped the coffin flap, right hand pig killing knife suddenly swing out. It's a pity that it was still a step too late, only to feel that the top of the head was dark, the coffin lid had been quickly closed, and the pig-killing knife was cut on the wood of the coffin lid. At the same time, the flap closed downward, and I felt a sharp pain in my left hand, which was grasping the edge of the flap. Fortunately, the pig-killing knife I swung upwards could not be retracted, and it happened to be stuck on the edge of the flap, otherwise, my left hand would definitely not have escaped the bad luck of broken tendons.
For a moment, cold sweat covered my front and back. Ten fingers connected to my heart, and the sharp pain made me instinctively scream. Even if the edge of the flap was jammed by a pig-killing knife, the pig-killing knife was too thin, and the root of my fingers was still stuck at the base of my palm.
And at this moment, with a piercing frog cry from below, I suddenly felt that the qi and blood were surging, and a cold invasion entered, and a little bit had been immersed in the body, I secretly said that it was not good, but I felt that a breath in the body swam all over the body in an instant.
The beast will obviously also seize the opportunity, knowing that he will take advantage of the danger and take advantage of the situation. Wai after whit came from below, my headache splitting, my survival instinct suppressing my anger and the curses I was about to blurt out. I fought against it. At the same time, I looked down at my feet, and I had to think about getting out of danger first.
At the foot of the foot is a passage that stretches diagonally downward. A stone staircase, at the end of the stone staircase, the ugly toad was shouting at me. I paid no attention to it for the time being, in fact, at the moment the four fingers of my left hand were squeezed by the flap in the closure, just like the closed door page squeezed my fingers on the door frame, and I couldn't get out without pushing the door page open, and my body was not standing on the ground, but was suspended in the air, swaying and struggling to protect myself, except for the luck of the fight, at this time I could not form the slightest threat to it.
Glancing at the toad, I withdrew my gaze and thought about how to get out. The nearest stone step was less than a foot away from my tiptoe. But this distance of less than a foot made me feel miserable because I had nowhere to rely on it.
I only hate that my legs are too short, and I really fulfill the old saying: Tuan fish (turtle) climbs the wall, and there is no one to rely on on all fours. If you insist on landing and getting out, you can only scrap the four fingers of your left hand. It's definitely not going to work. I found myself stuck on the left side of the passage, the left stone wall was not very far from my body, I guess I could reach it with my feet, I adjusted my body, endured the sharp pain in my left hand, swung hard to the left, and at the same time stretched out my left leg diagonally, the toes were just enough to touch the stone wall, at this time the swing was exhausted, and my body swung back into the air.
I thought of a way, and God will not stop me. At the time of the crisis, I gritted my teeth, gathered strength, and swung my body to the left, kicked my toes violently on the stone wall, and at the same time my arms strained, my body rushed upwards, and my head "banged" on the flap, as if pushing the door, and at the moment when the flap was hit up slightly by the force of my kick, my left hand was pumped down. With a "bang", his body fell to the stone steps.
"Finally got out of my hands." Ignoring the joy, let alone the pain of my butt on the stone steps, I threw the pig-killing knife in my right hand at the toad below.
In a panic, this casual throw was a big mistake in the head, the pig-killing knife grazed the stone wall above, and the "clang" fell in the middle of the road, and the toad may have seen that I had been out of trouble, screamed, turned around and jumped down the stone steps, and hid in the stone cave.
Frightened off the toad, I breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, and now I had neither the heart nor the power to pursue it. I went down to the middle of the stone steps, picked up the pig-killing knife, sat down on the stone steps, put the pig-killing knife on my side, held my left wrist, and inspected the wound on my left hand.
In addition to the thumb that was not stuck, the four fingers that grabbed the flap and leaned against the root of the palm, squeezing it until the skin was open and the flesh was drenched in blood. Maybe it was because of the numbness of the pain, but at this time I didn't feel much pain, but there was a sense of relief in my heart for the rest of my life.
All this is complicated to say, in fact, the time is not long, from falling into the coffin to getting out of the fluke, a total of only two minutes, but this short one or two minutes, but I have experienced a test like life and death.
I always have the wound medicine that Uncle Liang prepared for me at all times, I reached out and took it out and applied the powder to my fingers, and a trace of coolness made me suddenly refreshed.
You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people. I am too tender and have no experience in the rivers and lakes. I regret that I was careless, and that I didn't even guard against the fact that the dog-day pick-up haba would take the opportunity to push me into the coffin and harm me. I have no grudge against him as a hobboy, and I can't figure out why he would hurt me so much. I looked at my injured left hand and swore that I would pay him twice as much when I got out.
I tried to suppress the anger in my heart and thought back to every detail after entering the temple. I suspect that all this is controlled by Haba, and as soon as I enter the temple, he actually knows it, and Haba Tsai may be happy on it at this time......
I gasped and gathered my thoughts. It's pointless to think about these things now, the most important thing at the moment is to recover your strength first, and then think about how to get rid of the toad, find out the following situation, and then find a way to get out of here.
I concentrated my energy, recited a mantra, drew a prison on the stone steps, set up a five-element forbidden demon array, and then sat cross-legged on the stone steps, holding my mind, regulating my luck, and repairing the scattered internal breath.
I don't know how long it took for me to open my eyes and feel refreshed and energized. The injured left hand is no longer painful. I stood up, relieved myself, took my injured left hand and my right hand with the pig-killing knife, looked at the closed floor of the coffin above my head, took a deep breath, and walked slowly down the stone steps.
Below is a stone cave. Walked down more than ten steps diagonally, and everything in the stone cave was in full view.
It really shocked me.
The cave that came into view was about the same size as the main hall above, and I guess it was located under the main hall. At a glance, there is a normal-sized coffin in the middle of the stone cave against the stone wall, but there are a lot of Bai Sensen's human skeletons inside, the huge ugly toad is bulging its belly and cheeks, staring at the round eyes and sitting on the coffin, as soon as I entered, there was a muffled cry of "quack", I waved the pig-killing knife to rush over, but I saw it quickly jumped off the coffin and got into a small hole next to it.
I held my mind and was not in a hurry to pursue, but slowly looked around and felt.
I felt a thick resentment in the cold of my body. It was as if this was a prison full of resentful spirits, and there seemed to be a cry and sigh in my ears, which made me feel suffocated. I took out two exorcism talismans and burned them in the air, and my heart was relieved.
There was only one coffin in the stone cave, and at a cursory glance, there were more than a dozen white bones, and on the other side there were several boxes scattered against the stone wall, and a few spears and steel helmets were piled up in one corner.
I found that there was no exit to this cave except for the passage down and the small hole where the toad escaped. I stood in the middle of the cavern, my mind engrossed, trying to sense everything in the room.
There were no living creatures in the wooden box, and no signs of living creatures were felt in the coffin. My heart was a little relieved, everything in this temple was weird, and if something popped out of this coffin, I don't know if I would be able to handle it.
The absence of living creatures does not mean that there is no danger, and the people who set up this temple and the coffin in the stone chamber are extremely intelligent, and the traps can also kill people. I didn't dare to be careless, but I carefully observed, and after the bones and wooden boxes, I decided to start with the coffin, I wanted to see what kind of ghost was in this coffin, and it could emit such a fierce resentment.
What I didn't know was that I had been in danger since I was pushed into the coffin by the pick-up Haba, and the experience was just the beginning, and greater dangers awaited me.
The ignorant are fearless! That's who I am at the moment.
