Chapter 51: The Coffin Rotting Corpse
Qian Yiduo frowned and walked back and forth, looking at the pile of big bluestones, and finally stopped his eyes in the middle of the two big bluestones.
He took out his cigarette, lit it, took a few puffs, took the military shovel handed to him by Li Bing, and walked straight between the two big bluestones.
Qian Yiduo cat bent down, waved the military shovel, and after a while, the weeds between the two rocks were cleared, revealing red mud.
"This is it", Qian Yiduo stood up and turned his head to look at Zhang Yuanshan: "Brother Zhang, you won't lie to me, right?" If that thing is dug up, nothing really will happen? β
Zhang Yuanshan smiled: "Brother Qian, how could I harm you?" So be it, you dig, and I'll be with you by your side. β
Qian Yiduo sat down and smoked a cigarette, gritted his teeth, and began to wave the military shovel, and after a while, there was a pile of red dirt on the edge of the rock.
"Dig it", Qian Yiduo shouted: "Coffin, a wooden coffin." β
Li Bing, Zhao Wan'er and Shi Liya didn't dare to step forward, and stood in place nervously looking at the small hole that had just been dug up by Qian Yiduo.
Zhang Yuanshan glanced at it and said in surprise: "I really didn't expect that this coffin would be buried so shallow in the gap between two mountain stones." Brother Qian, you gouge the hole wider. β
Qian Yiduo agreed, and began to loosen the soil around the coffin, and after a while, one end of the coffin was completely exposed, and there was a stone tablet on the side.
Zhang Yuanshan hurriedly asked Qian Yiduo to dig out the stele, and carefully looked at the somewhat vague inscriptions on the stele. The owner of this tomb turned out to be a small official of Fengyang Mansion during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, and was ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, to find the legendary 'Mimosa Spring' on the female mountain. Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, enshrined him as the patron saint of Nushan, and set up a monument to bury him on NΓΌshan.
Zhang Yuanshan watched carefully and sighed constantly, and then several people around him hurriedly asked him why.
Zhang Yuanshan told everyone about the content on the tombstone, and sighed: "After this person died, he was enshrined by the emperor as the mountain god, which was originally a blessing, but he was buried in a hurry at that time and chose this extremely yin place. Judging from the tombstone, his birth date is born in a cloudy year and a cloudy month, and it is cold to yin. After hundreds of years of devouring the water essence of Yuehua, the soul does not disperse, and gradually condenses into an extremely strong yin qi and can turn into a human form. Brother Qian said yesterday that on his way to this NΓΌ Mountain, he heard the black driver say that there were many people who went up to NΓΌ Mountain to look for the 'Mimosa Spring', and many of them fled down the mountain in despair, and soon they either died or fell seriously ill. Presumably, those people have passed through here, allowing the evil corpses in this tomb to absorb the primordial gods. And after this evil corpse absorbed the Yuan Shen Yang essence of the human being, he gained super strength, and his skeleton gradually became humanoid as a result, so we see that half of his face is no different from ordinary people, if over time, after he sucks enough people's Yuan Yang, the other half of his face will also have a human form. At this time, he has extraordinary strength, and he can break free from the shackles of the coffin and the female mountain, and turn from an evil corpse to a demon, and at that time, he is afraid that he will be haunted everywhere. β
Zhang Yuanshan looked at the coffin carefully, touched it with his fingers, and sighed: "Although the paint on it has completely fallen off, this is a fine Nanmu coffin, which is extremely heavy, I don't know if Brother Qian can dig out the coffin before noon with the strength of one person." β
Li Bing thought for a while, and said to Zhang Yuanshan: "Brother Zhang, do you think it can be like this: let Brother Qian pick up the soil on the side of the coffin, and then forcibly drag the coffin out, so that you can save a lot of excavation time." β
Zhang Yuanshan's face showed a look of joy, and then it dimmed again: "Brother Li's idea is good, but just with the three of us men and two women, wanting to drag this coffin that has been buried in the mud for hundreds of years is tantamount to ascending to the sky. β
Zhao Wan'er chuckled: "Brother Zhang, I already understand what Brother Li means." The terrain here is relatively gentle, so I went to drive up the off-road vehicle and forcibly pulled the coffin out with the towrope in the car. β
Zhang Yuanshan was overjoyed and ordered to do it immediately. Zhao Wan'er drove up in an off-road vehicle, everyone tied the towrope to the coffin, and Qian Yiduo found a few big iron nails from the car, nailed them to the coffin, and firmly fixed the rope. After Zhao Wan'er carefully dragged it many times, the bulky coffin was finally pulled out of the ground by the off-road vehicle.
Zhang Yuanshan took out a few pieces of rune paper and paper money, and after chanting a few words, he lit it and burned it in front of the coffin, and called for a lot of money, and the two of them had to cooperate to open the coffin.
After Qian Yiduo used a military shovel to remove several coffin nails, he finally laboriously removed the coffin lid.
Everyone looked nervously and slowly looked into the coffin, only to see a skeleton lying on their backs in the coffin, which was already a little **. The skull's clothing had long since rotted away, and the bones were mixed with some disgusting colloidal white paste.
The most chilling thing is that the white bone, only half of the skull appeared on the head, and the other half was still a delicate and handsome man's face. The skull was also sprinkled with some chicken feathers and some black spots that appeared to be clotted blood.
"Why are there chicken feathers in the coffin? And it seems to be fresh. This question was on everyone's minds.
Suddenly, a yellow light flashed through the hole behind the coffin, and everyone was shocked.
I saw that the yellow thing quickly jumped up the tree, and everyone looked up at each other, only to see that it was a weasel.
The little thing, looking at the five people on the ground in the same horror. Zhang Yuanshan suddenly understood, and told everyone: "No wonder there are chicken feathers and blood in this coffin, it turns out that this weasel has made a home in it." The weasel eats the chicken blood dripping on this skeleton, plus the skeleton has been sucking the yang essence of the people who have gone up the mountain to find the 'mimosis spring' and strayed into this place, so this half of the human face has slowly formed. β
At this time, the sun had risen high, and it was almost noon, but it still did not shine on the coffin.
Zhang Yuanshan was a little anxious: "At noon, the yang energy is the fullest. This skeleton must be allowed to shine into the sun, so that its yin energy will be dispersed, and its three souls and seven spirits will be dispersed, so that it can no longer be troubled. It's just that the sun doesn't seem to shine on this shady place. β
The crowd screamed, and they could clearly see that half of the human face seemed to be smiling at them.
"Hurry up and find a way", Zhang Yuanshan shouted: "Wan'er, can the car drag the coffin to a place where the sun shines?" β
Zhao Wan'er shook her head: "Brother Zhang, dragging down the mountain like this, there is no sunlight for a long time, and the stones along the road also prevent the coffin from dragging it, and there are huge bluestones all around and above, and even the car can't drive up." β
Zhang Yuanshan's expression became more and more anxious, and he kept stomping his feet, although it was late autumn, and in this shady place, everyone felt a chill, but beads of sweat continued to emerge from his forehead.
Li Bing was silent at this time and smoked fiercely. After a long time, Li Bing suddenly burst out laughing, and everyone turned their eyes on Li Bing.
Li Bing saw that everyone was looking at him, and smiled: "In my opinion, this matter is not difficult, with Wan'er and Sister Shi here, it is just a matter of killing this demon corpse." β
At this moment, not only Zhang Yuanshan and Qian Yiduo's eyes widened, but Zhao Wan'er and Shi Liya opened their mouths even wider and looked at Li Bing in surprise.
Li Bing smiled and pointed to the satchels that the two of them were carrying, and said mysteriously: "If you want to attract the sun, the secret is all in your bag." β
The two were even more surprised, and hurriedly opened their bags, but they didn't find anything special.
After being stunned for a while, Zhao Wan'er and Shi Liya suddenly looked at each other and smiled, and the two understood almost at the same time, everyone was holding a small makeup mirror in their hands.
Zhang Yuanshan also understood, looked at the sky, it was noon, and hurriedly asked the two of them to stand in a place where there was sunlight with makeup mirrors, and pointed the reflector at the sun, so that the reflected sunlight was all aimed at the skeleton in the coffin.
A miracle happened, when the sunlight shone on the skeleton's body, half of the skeleton's face in the coffin quickly faded, and finally became the same white bone as the other half.
Everyone vaguely heard a heart-rending scream, but they couldn't see any movement in the white bones in the coffin. A few minutes later, a black mist slowly rose from the coffin, twisting and struggling in the sunlight, and after a while, it completely dissipated into the sunlight.
Zhang Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go, this unclean thing has completely disappeared." β
Everyone nodded, and at this time, they all followed the off-road vehicle driven by Zhao Wan'er with a relaxed expression, trotting all the way to the country road below the mountain. After everyone got into the car, Li Bing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, located the satellite navigation device at the tomb of Yan in Huamingtang.
