Chapter Ninety-Three: The Millennial Corpse King
Jiang Li turned sideways to avoid it, and He Tou'er on the side opened his mouth to plead, "Daoist Jiang, Xiao Cong grew up watching him, don't hurt him." ”
I have been studying with Jiang Li for so long, and I probably know that the insect king has entered Xiao Cong's body and has already eaten the things in Xiao Cong's body, and I learned Jiang Li's tone to tell He Tou'er, "Now Xiao Cong in front of us has long died, but he is just a puppet with human skin." ”
"This ......" He Tou'er couldn't believe it, after all, the archaeological team had lived together for many years, and his teammates suddenly died and became monsters, and it was difficult to accept it for a while, and there was no fear and sadness in his eyes.
Jiang Li suddenly had a serious face, holding a magic sword, and slashed at Xiao Cong, the insect king was also very powerful, not afraid of the sword, dodged and avoided, and rushed directly towards Jiang Li. It's fast, so fast that people don't have time to react.
"Leopard!" I yelled.
The leopard, which had disappeared, suddenly jumped over my head and pounced on the insect king, biting his head viciously. A stab pierced his chest, and a stream of black blood spurted out.
"Be careful, the blood is poisonous." Jiang Li said solemnly.
When the spotted leopard heard Jiang Li's words, it turned its head to look at me, and instantly rushed towards me, biting me on my clothes and holding me alive on its back.
The people of the archaeological team quickly moved away from the poisonous blood. After a long time, everyone calmed down, and He Tou'er asked Jiang Li, "So, there are problems with the three doors, Jiang Daochang, you know a lot, how do we get inside now?" ”
Jiang Li pondered for a while and looked around. "Remember the shape of this cemetery?"
"Fall the tower!" I replied casually, and I was a little embarrassed in front of everyone.
Jiang Li nodded deeply, "That's right, since it is an inverted tower, the main tomb will only be at the bottom, and the entrance to the main tomb is definitely not on this plane." It's on the ground, which also explains why the three coffins are here. It's to block the intersection. ”
He Tou'er frowned and stepped forward to walk around the three coffins, pondered for a while, and suddenly opened his eyes and found something. "There are words on these three coffins."
I was also curious to follow everyone over to see what the words on the coffin were, "I don't understand the words on it." I said it with an embarrassed face.
He Tou'er pointed to the words on it proudly and said, "Stinky boy, this is an ancient text, handwriting thousands of years ago, of course you can't read it." We archaeologists, where do we dare to go to the tomb without any ability. ”
I pursed my lips, "Then what do you say is written on it?" ”
"I guess it's just some scaring words, scaring away people who are fighting down, it's definitely useless. Didn't I dig several graves before, and I had such strange words, so I was fine. Liu Mangzi said disapprerovingly.
"Six doors, three coffin towns, a glimmer of life." He Tou'er took a long time to squeeze out this sentence.
Jiang Li touched the coffin on the right and pushed it hard, but the coffin was pushed away by Jiang Li, revealing a well ladder. "If I'm not mistaken, there are well ladders underneath these three coffins." Jiang Li stared at the well ladder and said.
He Tou'er hurriedly asked the people of the archaeological team to push open the coffin, Jiang Li pushed it easily, but they had to use several men to push it slowly, and as expected, there was a well ladder under the three coffins.
The well ladder is bottomless, and I can't see why.
Jiang Li said: "I took a closer look, and the three coffins represent heaven, earth, and man respectively. Only one can enter the main chamber, and the other entrances should return to the point of origin. ”
He Tou'er discussed with Jiang Li, and simply divided the troops into three ways, He Tou and a few people went to the bottom of the Tianzi coffin, Liu Mangzi took a few people to the bottom of the earth-shaped coffin, and Jiang and I left under the herringbone coffin.
Jiang Li agreed, and I followed Jiang Li carefully down the well ladder.
And this well ladder is much deeper than I imagined, climb down for a while, not to the end, all around are damp musty smell, the well ladder has been soaked in water, it has been covered with moss, slippery, if you don't pay attention, it is easy to slip.
"Master, how do I think we're in the water." I asked Jiang Li with doubts.
After a long while, Jiang Li replied to me, "The tomb is designed with heaven, earth, and people, and at first glance it is a tomb designed by Taoism. Under the coffin, it should be to let them go to another layer. There are many traps. And the one we came in should be the passage to the main tomb, the surrounding damp, because this is the closest to the water, the ancients paid attention to feng shui, if the drought was difficult at that time, the main tomb would be built in the surrounding water for the benefit of future generations. ”
I sighed, thinking to myself that it takes skill to repair tombs.
It was about a few hundred meters down the well ladder before Jiang Li and I reached the ground.
I couldn't see anything in the darkness all around, and after walking about a hundred meters by touching the wall, my eyes suddenly brightened, and the surrounding decorations became gorgeous.
In front of us, there is a sarcophagus, lying there majestically, on both sides of the sarcophagus stand two minotaurs, two meters high, hideous faces, vivid expressions, holding a big knife, feeling like they will move at any time.
The walls around me were densely covered with text, and I pointed to the walls around me and asked Jiang Li what was written on them.
Jiang Li glanced up and told me calmly that the deeds he told about Guiguzi during his lifetime, it seems that this is the main tomb of Guiguzi.
The text says that Guiguzi is called Xuanweizi and often goes into the mountains to collect medicine. lived in seclusion in Guigu, so it got the name of Guiguzi. He is all-encompassing and omniscient, and his master is Yin Changsheng, Guiguzi inherits the morality of Yin Changsheng, and has been extended to his apprentices, Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Shang Ying and others.
The article also specifically mentioned that "Reverse Yin and Yang" was buried in the tomb of Guiguzi.
Although it didn't reveal much, it also showed the relationship between this tomb and Guiguzi.
Jiang Li walked in front of the sarcophagus and took a look, and suddenly his face was gloomy.
"This is Guiguzi?" I asked curiously.
Jiang Li shook his head, "Look at this corpse, wearing a general's robe and an armband piercing Yang. ”
When I looked in, the corpse's face was undiminished. It was no different from a living person, he looked like he was asleep, he was wearing a general's robe and was extremely majestic, and the armband on his arm was finely tattooed with a red needle and thread A Yang character, I was surprised, "This is General Yang Xuan?" ”
Jiang Li nodded, "This is Yang Xuan's corpse." It seems that someone deliberately wanted to keep his body, and there should be something underneath the body. ”
I stretched out my hand to touch it, Jiang Li slapped my hand back, and scolded with a serious face, "Don't move, the things under Yang Xuan's body should be a treasure that supports his body from rotting, if you touch it indiscriminately, maybe Yang Xuan's body will immediately turn into a pile of ashes, and then you will explain to the Xixuan Banshee yourself." ”
I quickly stretched out my hand back and looked at General Yang Xuan carefully, although he was lying down now, his majesty was undiminished, and he still had a sense of might and was terrifying.
"But why is General Yang Xuan's body here?" I continued to ask Jiang Li, this is obviously the tomb of Guiguzi, and the person lying inexplicably is indeed missing General Yang Xuan.
Jiang Li stared at the corpse for a while, "There are no signs of a fight on his body, he has not struggled, and his face is peaceful, so it is certain that he took the initiative to lie here." can make a living person die suddenly, only Yin Si has such power, it seems that we can give an explanation to the Xixuan Banshee on this trip. ”
Although I can't fully understand it, I also know that there are secrets about General Yang Xuan in this cemetery.
I asked Jiang Li curiously, "What is he holding in his hand?" General Yang Xuan's left hand gripped something tightly, revealing a small section of thread.
Jiang Li frowned and glanced down, reached out and carefully pulled out the thread, which turned out to be a gorgeous sachet.
Turning over the sachet, there was a half-cut piece of brown paper, on which were written the secrets of the formation of the march, Jiang Li thought for a while, and told me, "This is the magic bag they gave him, so he can obtain divine power and win all battles." ”
The battle of Song Jin and Shangyuan kicked off the troubled times, and countless good men went into battle in armor, but few of them retreated, most of them were shrouded in horse leather and died on the battlefield.
Yang Xuan, the left general of the Southern Song Dynasty, abandoned his pen to join the army and served in the imperial border, defeated the Jin soldiers, and shocked Jiuqiu. He was revered as the god of war by the Song, Xia and Jin dynasties. Just when Yang Xuan was famous, he suddenly disappeared mysteriously in 1137, and no one could find him, and the world was in an uproar.
And the period of disappearance must be what happened in this Guiguzi tomb.
"This is a corner of the fragment of "Guiguzi", it seems that General Yang Xuan is also deliberately hiding the secret, he is afraid that future generations will know that he is a puppet of Yin Si." It dawned on me.
"You're here!" Liu Mangzi walked from behind us and greeted us with a smile.
Liu Mangzi obviously led a team of people to the bottom of the coffin. Why did you come here alone, I couldn't help but feel a little strange, so I asked Liu Mangzi, "What about the others?" ”
"I got separated, and when I heard your voices here, I came here." Liu Mangzi smiled awkwardly.
Jiang Li just said in a low voice, "You didn't go in at all." You came with us all the way, right? ”
Liu Mangzi was stunned, looking nervous, "Daoist Jiang, what are you talking about!" ”
Jiang Li didn't pay attention to Liu Mangzi, Liu Mangzi's eyes suddenly looked at me, and he said to me with an embarrassed expression, "What good things have you found?" ”
I took the half of the brown paper in my hand and shook it, "A useless thing." ”
Liu Mangzi walked towards us, staring at Yang Xuan's corpse, with a look of surprise, and was about to reach out to touch it, but I scolded him, "Don't touch it!" ”
Liu Mangzi withdrew his hand and asked me with a surprised expression. "Don't tell me...... Is this Guiguzi? ”
"Of course not!" As soon as my words fell, Liu Mangzi seemed to have found some treasure, his eyes lit up, and before I could stop it, he had already reached out and pulled out a book from under Yang Xuan.
Vaguely looked at the words yin and yang written on it.
"Reverse yin and yang!" I shouted loudly, if Liu Mangzi was holding "Reverse Yin and Yang" in his hand, it would be a big deal.
Jiang Li didn't say anything, just smiled, and suddenly there was a clanging sound all around, like the sound of weapons rubbing.
The whole cemetery rumbled instantly, accompanied by the earthquake tremor, I clung to Jiang Li, but the scene in front of me frightened me, and all the walls suddenly cracked. Hundreds of armored spirits rushed out, letting out a seeping roar.
"It's the soul of Yang Xuan's troops." Jiang Li said solemnly.
The souls of the dead lined up and looked at us with a crusade.
Suddenly, all the revenant soldiers brandished their spears and swords and slashed at us, Liu Mangzi was so frightened that he hurriedly hid behind Jiang Li, Jiang Li jumped on the sarcophagus, and said, "Five Emperors and Five Emperors slashed ghosts and 100,000 generals descended, and the Lord worked together for Jiang Li, collecting the ghosts of the underworld, the ghosts of the corpse torture, the ghosts of the portal well stoves, and the ghosts of the five voids and six consumptions. ”
In an instant, the Heavenly Soldiers appeared and wiped out all these hundreds of teams of revenants.
At this time, Liu Mangzi took a few steps back, looked at Jiang Li with a vigilant expression, and suddenly laughed presumptuously, "No matter how powerful you are, the reverse yin and yang are still in my hands." ”
"Yin Si sent you a little minion to rob "Reverse Yin and Yang"?" Jiang Li looked at him with disdain.
Liu Mangzi grinned, and read in his mouth, "Up!" Suddenly, a large mouth cracked, and the roar of creatures came from underground, and then countless corpse hands crawled up from the ground, and countless zombies fell crookedly from the crack.
"It turned out to be the thousand-year-old corpse king." Jiang Li said calmly, "No wonder that walking meat just now was afraid." ”
It turned out that Yin Si sent the thousand-year-old corpse king, disguised as an archaeological team, and specially came to rob "Reverse Yin and Yang", but looking at Jiang Li's appearance, it seemed that he had expected him to rob it, with a calm expression and no sense of surprise, just using an affirmative tone.
"Kill!" The thousand-year-old corpse king gave an order, and all the zombies rushed towards us, but they moved slowly, and the zombies who walked in front were directly beheaded by Jiang Li's sword.
