Chapter 19: The Nine Coffins Nail Bucket
Hua Wu didn't care whether Gai Lu was willing or not, directly grabbed Gai Lu's hand, and ran into the left Yongdao, this Yong Road is not long, the stone door at the end is still open, obviously Hua Wu opened, after entering another tomb, this tomb is more than twice as large as the one just now, there is a stone platform in the middle, and there is a crystal coffin on the stone platform.
Gailu was slightly surprised when he saw the crystal coffin, the crystal coffin was not big, only three feet long, and it could be clearly seen that there was a white cat lying inside, the white cat was very small, exactly the same as the nine little ghost cats.
Gai Lu's heart moved, ran to the stone platform, and saw that the cat corpse was not rotten at all, and the little white cat seemed to be asleep, and in a trance, he felt that the belly of the cat corpse was still rising and falling.
Hua Wu also walked up to the stone platform and chuckled: "Don't look at it, it's alive!" As he spoke, he tapped the lid of the coffin, and the little white cat opened its eyes and got up, meowing at them, looking very cute.
Gailu was completely stunned, originally in his expectation, there was a tomb underground, and there were at least nine cat corpses in the tomb, but the cat coffin was indeed found, but the little white cat in the coffin turned out to be alive, which was too unbelievable.
Hua Wu said again: "It's weird, you don't eat, drink, just sleep, you can stay alive, Xiaolulu, you say this can't be a fairy cat, right?" β
Gai Lu ignored her, took out two spirit talismans and pasted them on the lid of the coffin, which were the corpse suppression talisman and the ghost descending talisman, but the little white cat was not afraid at all, and still meowed non-stop, and the light in his eyes was quite dim, as if begging them to save it.
Such a bizarre and strange thing is completely beyond the scope of Gailu's cognition, although he feels that the little white cat is pitiful, but he does not dare to release it, after all, there are really ghost cats in the ghost cat town, and the scars on his face are the best proof.
From the situation of this little white cat, it can be inferred that the other eight little white cats should be the same, living well in the small cat coffin, but how their souls went out of the body and became murderous ghost cats, nothing is known.
Hua Wu had a cheerful personality, patted Gai Lu's shoulder, and comforted: "This ancient tomb is very strange, the best tombs are all buried with cats, cats are still alive, and I don't know how they have survived." β
Gailu heard that she seemed to be familiar with this ancient tomb, so he asked, "Boss, how many cat coffins have you found?" β
With the title of boss, Deng let Hua Wu be overjoyed, and said with a grin: "Eight pairs, all of them have living little white cats." Then her face sank, and she said in annoyance: "The cat is quite cute, but there are no funeral goods...... and she stopped talking, and smiled at Gailu, obviously not wanting Gailu to know that she was a tomb robber.
But Gai Lu Yan didn't know, Hua Wu was still too naΓ―ve, but Gai Lu didn't say anything, and asked Hua Wu to take him to see the rest of the cat coffins, and found that each tomb was the same structure, the same crystal cat coffin, the same little white cat, and when they saw the eighth pair, they all gave people an illusion that they had been going around in circles and kept returning to the first tomb.
But Hua Wu had already marked different marks before, and a number was engraved on the stone door of each tomb, from one to eight, a total of eight tombs, eight sarcophagi, and eight little white cats.
At this time, Gai Lu's heart was even more confused, there were obviously nine ghost cats, there should be another one, and the two searched everywhere again, but they didn't find the ninth tomb.
In the end, Hua Wu squatted on the ground, looked desperate, and said faintly: "It's useless, I've been here for almost ten days, walking back and forth, just wandering around these eight tombs, maybe the only way out is where you came in!" β
Gailu asked, "What about the robbery hole you made when you came down?" β
Hua Wu was even more frightened: "The robbery hole disappeared after I came down, and the marks I made seemed to have been erased, it's really ......" Saying that, she found that she was in the way of Gailu, if the robbery hole she hit was still there, then she would not be trapped in the tomb and couldn't get out, Gailu asked, just to prove that she was a tomb robber.
Hua Wu snorted coldly, then felt relieved, waved her hand and smiled: "That's it, the old lady is a tomb robber, anyway, we will all die here, what if you know it, if you can report to the official and let the head catcher arrest the old lady, the old lady is grateful to your ancestors for eighteen generations." β
Caught robbing the tomb, at most a few years in prison, but trapped in the tomb, that is a dead end, usually Hua Wu is afraid of head-catching, but now I want to see the head-catching most.
Referring to the protection of the flower dance, he will definitely die a very miserable death, Gai Lu squatted on the ground, with the memory of walking, the location of the eight tombs was drawn, this painting came out, and the clues were found when he landed, only to see seven of the tombs, which were arranged in the Big Dipper, and the eighth was in the center of the bucket spoon.
Seeing such an arrangement, Gai Lu did not hesitate to click in the direction of the North Star pointed by the bucket handle, that point should be the ninth tomb, and then looked at the arrangement of these nine tombs, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and cold sweat oozed out on his forehead: "This ...... It's a nail bucket! β
Hua Wu didn't know why, and said disdainfully: "We're all dying, you're still dingdong fart!" β
Gai Lu shook his head with a look of disdain: "It's not Ding Dong, it's a nail bucket." Seeing Hua Wu was confused, he had to explain: "Come and see, these seven tombs form the Beidou, and the eighth is like a nail nailed to the bucket body, as for the ninth tomb, it should just be to lengthen the bucket handle, so that by waving the spoon, it is easier to hit the nail, such a tomb pattern is called a nail bucket, and the one we are in should be nine coffin nail buckets." β
With such an explanation, Hua Wu showed an expression of sudden realization, blinked her eyes and fell into contemplation, and said after a while: "Even if you are right, there is a fart!" β
Gailu was quite helpless, and he was very idiotic to explain this way to the layman, so he took out the compass to find the direction, and walked towards the side where the bucket handle pointed, and only by finding the ninth tomb could he prove that his guess was correct.
Hua Wu rubbed her calves with both hands, and when she saw Gai Lu leaving, she hurriedly jumped up and caught up, and kept saying nonsense in her mouth, even if Gai Lu ignored her, she didn't plan to shut up, and when she was thirsty, she took out the kettle to moisten her throat, and then continued, looking at the posture, it seemed that she wanted to annoy Gai Lu to death.
Gailu walked very slowly, and suddenly felt a jolt under his feet, and immediately stopped, this sudden bumpy feeling, I would have had when I walked before, and I didn't care about it at that time, but when I kept turning in circles like a ghost hitting a wall, this small detail is still important.
Before, because the road to walk was very long, and they did not have lighting equipment that could last for a long time, most of the roads were almost in the dark, and it was difficult for people to walk in a straight line in the dark.
At this moment, Gailu quickly ignited a fire talisman, the fire lit up, and he saw that there was a curve in front of him, and the road under his feet was inclined to the right.
