Chapter 23: The Stone Coffin
Just as Little Wood was putting into action, the woman disappeared.
Xiao Mu seemed to see that this woman, like his cousin, belonged to the cultivators. Cultivators are different from ordinary people, they feel very thief, very cunning, a little dangerous, and they can know the Tao immediately. The woman must have sensed her murderous intentions and said goodbye. What is more strange is that at that time, Xiao Mu and his family, staff and others had already gone to sea to the Soviet Union. In those days, the odds of a person living alone in a foreign country as a person who did not speak the language were simply low.
Xiao Mu wrote in his diary that he had sent a note to the Soviet side to send police to find the woman's traces. Such a big living person disappeared in a foreign land without any clue, as if it had evaporated out of thin air.
This matter is like a fish in the throat for Xiao Mu, and he can't get rid of a woman's qigong. This thing is like taking drugs, once you stop, it is not only an onset of drug addiction that you can't use, but more importantly, every bone and every cell in your body is hurting and suffering.
Every time he had an attack, Xiao Mu had to die or live, and was considered by the doctor to have stepped into the ghost gate, and he was notified of his critical illness several times.
Only Xiao Mu himself understands that not only can he not die, but he has fallen into a situation where he is neither dead nor alive. As soon as he has a seizure, he becomes a stiff living dead, physically imprisoned, but his soul remains. The whole body is like a pot of oil boiling on a fire, and the soul is boiling up and down in the oil. Every pain was magnified to the extreme, and the feeling was no different from going to hell.
With the passage of time, the situation outside is also turbulent and uncertain. The whole world changed color, and the ghosts cried wolves. In those extraordinary days, every night Xiao Mu would walk into the courtyard, look up at the unpredictable starry sky, and comprehend the way of life and death in extreme pain.
He thinks that this place is no longer for him, and that he should devote himself to a greater life. But how difficult it is to do this, because of the change in the situation, the former cronies have rebelled and left, and even the old people who have always trusted them have begun to arrange surveillance around them. Xiao Mu wrote in his diary that in order to get out of the center of the hurricane, he chose to fake his death.
This is the end of the diary.
After all this, we didn't say anything for a long time. I thought that the historical past was drowned in the wind and sand, but I didn't expect that there were so many unbelievable things hidden, so many weirdness, it was really unimaginable.
Brass Lock sighed, folded the two pages into squares and stuffed them into the notebook as they were, and we came out of the study. Looking at the watch, it was actually not long, but only half an hour. But this half an hour seems to have spent a long life, and we are all stuck in the unpredictable years of decades ago and cannot extricate ourselves.
Li Yang said: "Unexpectedly, we once again indirectly saw an old acquaintance. Luo Feng and her senior brother Lin Miaosheng. ”
"How do you know it's them?" Copper Lock asked.
"The sect that has been dissected into immortals, there is no one else except them. I said, where did Luo Feng get so much money, he became a big boss in the eighties and nineties of the last century, and built houses and bought land. The source of her property should have been given by Xiao Mu. ”
Thinking of these two people, I can't help but sigh, Luo Feng fulfilled his wish to become an immortal and left, and Lin Miaosheng gave up his grandson's body to go to Taiwan, and now it is estimated that he can also practice. These two people have been tossing for so long, especially Lin Miaosheng, who has been there for a thousand years, and finally came out of his bones and became immortals.
Li Yang said: "You still remember, the spell of the autopsy sect will make people want to die and can't die. I think Xiao Mu's body has also reached this level in the process of following Luo Feng's cultivation, and he used cutting his wrists to cover up his death, but he is actually still alive for so many years. ”
Brass Lock said, "I see. Xiao Mu faked his death, in fact, he never gave up tracking Luo Feng in private. With his network resources, unless Luo Feng does not appear, if he shows up, he will be discovered. After so many years, he finally found the Lantern League and found the old horse. ”
The more I discussed this matter, the more my heart beat, and I felt unspeakably uncomfortable, and said, "Hurry up and rescue Wang Xiaoyu." The people here are so evil, they will be in danger after a long time. ”
As he walked, Ye Daining, who was in front, suddenly turned his head and made a silence. We immediately stopped our conversation, and heard the faint sound of singing coming from the dark depths of the hallway.
We couldn't help but walk lightly along the wall. I saw that there was light in front of me, and sure enough, there were many voices singing. It should be some girls who listen to the voices singing, their voices are tactful, very soft, and their voices together still reveal holy solemnity. We looked at each other, and Li Yang whispered, "This is the longevity spell that Lili said. ”
We cautiously walked to the door and looked inside. Inside is a splendid hall, and there is a volley corridor on the second floor. In the middle of the hall sat hundreds of girls in red cloaks, each holding a scripture and chanting in a low voice, and not a single one of them mispronounced it.
It was a shocking scene, we hid in the back, and no one spoke.
After listening to it for a while, the chanting inside ended. The girls stood up one by one, and the copper lock almost bleeded from the nose when they saw this action.
The girls were naked and cloaked, with no clothes underneath.
When they left, it was quiet, silent. Stream out through the side door. They walked as fast as they could, as if they didn't want to stay here any longer. After a short time, the whole hall was silent, and everything I saw just now was like an illusion.
We waited for a while, and when we didn't think it was dangerous, we walked in from outside. It's one thing to look at this hall from the outside, it's another thing to actually walk in and feel it. It was so big that the dome was extremely high, and it was decorated with many heavily colored patterns. The style looks a bit similar to the murals of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, which depict flying scenes surrounded by fairy clouds.
There were no modern lights, just a huge brazier burning in the corner high on the wall, and the light of the fire lit up so that everyone's shadow flickered and shortened, and the atmosphere was somewhat eerie.
At the front of the hall, there was a huge yellow curtain that fell from the ceiling, and it was tightly covered with something. The area is very large, about five meters by five meters, and I don't know what is hidden.
Li Yang pointed to the yellow curtain and whispered, "What do you guess is inside?" ”
"It won't be ......," Copper Lock said, "Little wood." ”
As he spoke, he came to his senses, looked left and right at no one, and tiptoed towards the yellow curtain.
"Be cautious, don't be busy yet." Ye Daining said.
Ye Daining looked around the entire hall and said, "It's a little weird." ”
"What's wrong?" We asked.
"It's a little dead." He said.
Copper Lock was taken aback: "Could it really be that there are dead people here?" ”
Ye Daining said: "It's not a dead person, it's a dead gas." If a person dies, it is just a pile of carrion left, and very little dead air comes out. Dead breath can only come out of the underworld, which is different from the breath of the yang world. ”
Let's look at each other. Qin Dan was puzzled: "Senior Brother Ye, do you mean that there is an exit from the underworld here?" ”
"Not bad. It's a very dark breath, I can feel it. Let's not act rashly......"
As soon as he said this, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the side door. Everyone looked at each other, someone came, but there was no hiding place in the huge hall. Brass Lock pointed to the yellow curtain. Now the situation is looming, and if you don't hide there, someone will find out.
We hurried to the tent, and the moment we lifted the curtain, we felt a chill coming from inside. The temperature around it dropped sharply, and compared to the outside, it was almost two worlds.
Now it's hard to toss here, and if you get caught, you won't be able to do anything. Knowing that there was danger in the tunnel, I still got into it.
As soon as we entered, we saw a shadow and a figure shaking outside.
It's too dark to see your fingers. We didn't dare to use a flashlight to illuminate it, so we could only cautiously grope in the dark. In the darkness, the copper lock snorted, and Li Yang's voice sounded: "Quiet." ”
"There's something." Copperlock whispered.
I moved closer in the direction he was speaking, reached out and touched it, and could feel that there was something in front of me, and the tentacles were cold. It feels like a huge piece of marble to the touch, with a very smooth surface. I leaned over and sniffed it, and I could still smell a vague scent.
In the darkness, the shadow of the copper lock was faintly visible, and he was groping for the big stone. He lowered his voice and said, "It looks like a sarcophagus." ”
"It's a coffin." Ye Daining said coldly.
A coffin is a container that is specially covered with a coffin on the outside, which means "to wrap". I carefully touched this thing around, and I had a good idea of it. This coffin is about three meters long and nearly one and a half meters high, and the whole body should be made of stone. There are many patterns engraved on the surface of the stone coffin, because there is no light, you can't touch the specific image just by touching, but you can feel that the pattern composition is very complex and complex.
The coffin was covered with a thick lid, and I didn't know what kind of psychology I pushed it. The stone lid was very heavy, and I couldn't push it at all if I had little strength.
Copper Lock suppressed his excitement and gritted his teeth in a low voice, "Little wood won't be in it, right?" ”
"Don't mess around." Ye Daining said: "I can feel that the yin qi of the underworld is emanating from here. ”
Qin Dan said: "There is a netherworld inside? ”
"I don't know what to do." Ye Daining said: "It's a bit evil. ”
"Hey, don't you feel like it's getting colder and colder in here?" I said suddenly.
"Yes, I'm getting goosebumps." And what does this smell like, I damn it, braised pig's head. ”
Sure enough, in this confined space, I don't know when a greasy aroma of braised pig's head wafted out. We haven't eaten until now, and we forgot about hunger for a while because of the pursuit of Xiao Mu. Now the smell suddenly came out, and the stomach rumbled, and the drool was drooling.
The copper lock sniffed, and slowly stuck to the stone coffin, and sniffed inside: "The smell of the pig's head comes out of it." ”
