Chapter 134: Black Coffin
We went from behind those people to the front from a distance, and at a glance, the scene in front of us made Zhu Gui and I all stunned there, and we didn't say anything for a long time with our mouths open.
There were four rows of zombies in official uniforms, and it was now completely certain that they were zombies, as they all had a faded yellow charm on their heads.
The zombie's face was blue and extremely shriveled, as if the flesh inside had long since dried out, leaving only a layer of black skin on the outside. Their mouths were slightly open, and there was a faint black gas coming from inside, and the two fangs at the corners of their mouths were clearly visible, shining a little cold in the light.
They all had their hands drooping, their sleeves long, and only a little blackened nails were exposed.
Two rows of zombies stood facing each other, and in the middle was a huge black lacquered stone coffin, about a foot above the ground, and a coffin bed underneath.
Around the coffin bed was a groove, about three feet wide, of unknown depth, and it seemed to have some liquid slowly wriggling in it.
Behind the zombies on the right is the same plank wall as the side, and it seems that this place has come to an end.
At this moment, the surroundings were very quiet, except for Zhu Gui's heavy breathing, there was no sound in the rest. Zhu Gui seemed to be nervous, he took a small step back, and said in a low voice, "Is this an ancient tomb?" ”
I don't really care if it's an ancient tomb, but I care most about whether those zombies will be corpsed, because it is related to the safety of both of us.
At this time, Zhu Gui stared at the coffin and began to shine with his eyes, and I suddenly felt bad, this dead fat man would not want to open the coffin to hunt for treasure.
Thinking of this, I asked Zhu Guidao: "I said fatty, what kind of crooked idea do you have?" ”
Zhu Gui shook his flashlight, glanced around the situation, and said: "Brother, brother, I'm not greedy for money, I just think that this trip to life and death, encountering so many things, if you can get out alive, you can't be empty-handed, so I'm too sorry for myself." Even though I found a string of pearls, there wasn't much left after the three of us were divided," he paused again and swallowed his saliva, "I want to open the coffin, there must be a lot of good things in it." ”
As soon as I heard this, I really didn't have any words, and I remembered what Hu San said, Zhu Gui and us may have other purposes for coming to Xiangxi, he won't really come to rob the tomb.
I hope he did it because he was temporary, and if he had been planning to rob the tomb in the first place, it would have been a problem. But again, after getting along with Zhu Gui for so long, I still have a good impression of him, he shouldn't be the kind of person who will do anything to achieve a certain goal.
I wanted to stop him, but when the words came to my lips, I still didn't say it, because if he didn't have another purpose, but really wanted to help us, how could I be embarrassed to say anything if someone wanted to pick up some foreign workers.
But looking at the coffin in front of me is very weird, and there are so many zombies guarding it, how easy is it to get the contents inside.
I was thinking about it, and Zhu Gui had already tightened his grip on the folding shovel and walked towards the coffin. I quickly grabbed him and said, "Be careful, what if these zombies get up to the ground?" ”
"Well, I know, seeing that their corpses are so heavy, it is possible to raise corpses, but don't worry, I am prepared." Saying that, Zhu Gui took out a stack of yellow talismans from his arms, "This is a corpse suppression talisman, which can prevent corpses from rising, and help me stick it on their heads." ”
Looking at the thick spell in Zhu Gui's hand, I was a little puzzled: "Since you have so many, why did you still draw it when you broke the magic circle in the square?" ”
Zhu Gui stuffed half of the talisman into me and said, "There are many kinds of talismans, and there are more corpse talismans like this, and I usually draw hundreds of them for backup." The kind of spell that breaks the formation is rarely used, so I don't prepare much. ”
After that, Zhu Gui simply told me how to paste the charm, and the two of us pasted them on the heads of those zombies one by one.
Strange to say, this kind of yellow charm does not need any adhesive, and it can be glued so gently when it touches the head of the corpse. As long as you don't tear it with your hands, it won't fall even if a twelve-level wind blows.
There was also a spell on the zombie's head, and Zhu Gui said that he didn't care about that, just stick it on it.
These zombies are different from those in the walls, there are no beads around their necks, it seems that their grade is not high, or they are not officials at all, they just wear official uniforms after death.
Think about it, this possibility is very high, and the characters in the coffin may not be officials, because these zombies are obviously burial companions, and there is basically no such custom as burial in the Qing Dynasty, not to mention accompanying officials.
Dozens of zombies, Zhu Gui and I quickly pasted most of them, but when I walked to the last corpse, I felt something different. His braids were trembling slightly, which scared me, damn, you don't want to raise a corpse, do you?
I hurriedly reached out and pasted the charm on, but as soon as I took my hand away, the charm fell. My heart tightened, and I immediately realized that something might be wrong.
Sure enough, a thick black gas suddenly emitted from the zombie's mouth, and at the same time, accompanied by a strange scream, his whole body began to shake violently.
Seeing this, Zhu Gui hurriedly ran over and scolded: "Damn, I want to blow up the corpse." As he spoke, he quickly picked up a charm and pressed it against the zombie's head.
With a push, the corpse immediately stopped moving, but there was still a thick black gas in its mouth. Zhu Gui didn't dare to let go of his hand and turned his head to avoid rushing into the black gas.
"Quick, your sword, cut off his head." Zhu Gui roared anxiously.
I hurriedly pulled out the wooden sword from my bag, it was really useful against zombies, I remember that it had cut off the zombie's head with a sword when I was in Yazar Village. However, it is also a scoring situation, and it is completely useless to deal with some zombies who are in the way.
I raised the wooden sword and slashed at the corpse's neck from behind, although Zhu Gui pressed the charm in front, but I don't have to worry, his skills are not inferior to me, and he is not so easy to be hurt by me.
When the wooden sword slashed into the zombie's neck, only a muffled sound was heard, and then there was a sharp pain in the tiger's mouth, and the wooden sword was actually bounced back.
I was taken aback, it was like slashing into steel, and it seemed that these zombies were not easy to deal with.
With the wooden sword in my bag, I decided to go toe-to-toe with him, and there seemed to be no better way.
Looking left and right, the rest of the zombies are quite honest, none of them moved, which reassures me. If it's just this one, I'm afraid of a hair.
Zombies attack people by brute force and invulnerability, but to me they don't necessarily have more strength than me. I'm not that hard, but I have kung fu, and it's almost impossible for a zombie to hurt me, and there's a good chance they won't be able to see me.
I remember the zombies I met in Yazar Village, they just treated me like air, and in front of me, they were like living handles.
