Chapter Forty-Eight: The Red
The bronze coffin is huge, several sizes larger than the black lacquered coffins we often find in the countryside.
There are many quaint and strange patterns attached to it on the surface, which seem to be descriptions of people, or certain scenes, and of course, there are many small runes, gathered on the surface of this coffin, arranged into a wonderful magic circle.
The black iron chain had been tightly clasped to its four corners, but the one on the left suddenly broke, and suddenly there was a sharp movement, swaying in the opposite direction, and the accumulated corpses below also fell back to the bottom of the pool, splashing countless splashes. However, the bronze coffin bottle did not fall with it, it hung in the air, and there seemed to be black mist circling underneath - these black mist were all the undead resentment carried by those pseudo-bronze armored corpses, and at this moment they were being absorbed by something in the bronze coffin bottle, gathered below, and continued to float above.
Ka, Ka, Ka......
The black iron chains were tightened by the strength of those resentments, and it seemed that they had reached their limit.
Looking at this eerie situation, standing seven or eight meters away from the edge of the pool, I felt cold all over my body, goosebumps all over my body, and I couldn't help but feel annoyed in my heart - Will had reminded me several times that there was great terror in this valley, and most of the cause of this terror came from this deep pool of black water. I had seen this bronze coffin in the morning, and I thought it was strange, but under the pressure of the enemy's pursuit, it was set aside and ignored.
We even used this place as a burial place for our enemies because of the countless horrific cannibalistic red-toothpick fish in that pool.
Just now this deep pool swallowed up the pseudo-bronze armored corpses that Li Xin relied on, and I was still proud, thinking that it was a record of winning more with less, but I ignored the fact that the reason why those fish existed, there is a great possibility that the person who banned the bronze coffin bottle at the bottom of the pool used it to prevent wild beasts or humans from coming in, and mistakenly opened it.
Now that I think about it, it was the resentment of those dead creatures that gave the bronze coffin enough motivation to float out of the pool and see the light of day again.
It's just, what is in it? Is it a zombie that has been building up for a long time? Still is......
This strange scene also made the master and apprentice who were fighting to the death on the grass stop their desperate efforts. After some thought, the two of them let go of each other almost at the same time, and both retreated in opposite directions.
After Huiming turned over, he kept slapping on his body, spitting vigorously and clasping his nostrils, trying to get all the bugs out of his body. However, how can those little things be so easy to get rid of, and some even go deeper, he is also a little anxious, and recited twice in a row "Spirit Dart Unification Reconciliation Split Heart Qi Zen", and then put his hands together, knotted the lion mark inside, and roared with a mantra, saying "Qia", which shocked all the insects on his body to death.
After doing all these actions, he didn't even say hello, and strode towards the way he came from without saying a word.
I looked at the swift figure of this burly old man, and then I realized that the reason why he was able to live to the age of eighty in such a dangerous department of the hidden front of the Religious Affairs Bureau was that his life-saving kung fu was also very worthy of learning from the juniors. However, he had just run nearly ten meters when his steps stopped and he stopped moving forward. I looked into the distance, and in the night, I saw that the woods, grass, trees and other things that were originally clearly visible had become blurry, so thin that I couldn't tell the difference at all, and Huiming's hesitation made me quickly confirm that we were in a terrifying formation.
This formation may have been activated the moment this bronze coffin came to the surface.
On a low-lying area where this deep pool of black water is located, the scenery is distinct, and if you look at it from a distance, it is already like being isolated from the world, and you can't get out of it. Hui Ming's face was cloudy, he hesitated for a moment, and he didn't move forward, but turned back, four meters away from me, as if facing a great enemy, nervously looking at the bronze coffin bottle above the deep pool, and little by little broke free from the shackles of the black iron chains.
The white paper fan had already dodged and ran to the unconscious Kami and Kato Yaya, who was lying on the ground, and he did not leave, but looked ahead with a solemn expression. After a struggle with Hui Ming, his face became more and more pale, and the sunken position of his chest began to slowly bulge, and those black ghost mist were swirling around him, and finally stopped in front of the folding fan in his hand.
We all held our breath and looked forward to watching the bronze coffin bottle rising in the pool, which continued to rise.
Two minutes later, we heard a few tooth-aching sounds of metal twisting, and suddenly, in Titicaca, several explosions like thunder and thunder appeared, and the three black iron chains that bound the bronze coffin were all broken, thrown high and scattered everywhere.
The sudden explosion shook the entire space, and the buzzing sound reached my ears from all directions.
My chest was dull, and I avoided the iron chains that had fallen from the top of my head, and I felt my throat itch, and I coughed hard, and as a result, I vomited several mouthfuls of thick black bloody phlegm, like the tofu, which were glued into lumps, and a fishy smell spread.
This thing is so evil that it didn't even appear, and it shocked me to internal injuries and vomited a few mouthfuls of blood.
After the bronze coffin bottle broke away from the black iron chain, it was thrown six or seven meters upward, and then rolled in the air for a few weeks, and smashed heavily on the edge of the waterhole five meters in front of Huiming. The weight of this thing was very heavy, and when it smashed on the grass, it did not roll at all, but directly sank into the earth, and bombarded the whole flat ground with a trembling and landslide. The soles of my feet shook a few times, and the heart of my feet was numb for a while, and when I looked up, I saw that the lid of the bronze coffin bottle had opened a gap in this vibration, and the resentment that had supported it before looked at the opening frantically, and surged away.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but inexplicably remember that in the Yelang Stone Hall in the Qingshan Realm, there seemed to be such a coffin.
However, that one was made of obsidian, containing an ancient corpse that had been precipitated for an unknown period of time, and it was also a woman, a top-level flying corpse, and it was almost about to achieve the realm of drought fish. At that time, if Yang Cao hadn't invited God to come to my body, it is estimated that most of us present would have turned into dry bones and died in the secluded mansion, and would not be alive. So what kind of terrifying things will be hidden in this coffin?
I thought of Will's pale face when I talked about the things in this deep pool, and I couldn't help but tremble, my fists clenched tightly, and my palms were all sweaty.
It seemed to be half of the things in my memory, and by the edge of the pool, the water splashed everywhere, and there was a force in the heavy bronze coffin, slowly pushing the lid of the coffin, clicking...... Click...... Click! This sound was particularly chilling in the silent night, and there seemed to be a black hole inside, and all those grievances had been absorbed into it, even the white paper fan that was watching from the side across the deep pool, the black resentful spirits around him were shaking, and it seemed that they might be sucked into the coffin. Frightened, he didn't dare to pull the wind like this anymore, folded a fan, and put it inside.
Seeing that the lid of the bronze coffin was about to be lifted, Huiming's face changed several times, and he finally decided to come forward.
He held the Buddha beads in his hand tightly, stepped forward in a few steps, and took out several pieces of golden rune paper from his arms, and did not see any movement, just rubbing his fingers, two rune papers began to "crackle" and burn, forcing out a terrifying aura. And the other two, he snapped twice, and all of them were pasted on the head and end of the coffin.
This time, the coffin stopped shaking, as if it had fallen asleep.
Hui Ming breathed a sigh of relief and walked around the bronze coffin, then took a deep breath and stretched out his hand, ready to close the coffin lid and seal it.
However, at this moment, the coffin box that had been silent suddenly shook violently, and Hui Ming's outstretched hand paused as soon as he stepped forward, and suddenly stepped forward and pushed the lid flush with the original place. However, this piercing "squeak" had just sounded, and suddenly there was a heavier sound, boom-
The lid of the coffin was pushed up, straightened, and then flew back like a leaf, and fell into the pool, making many splashes.
The moonlight was like water, and at this time, I suddenly sensed that although those terrifying red toothpick fish were still there, they were no longer alive.
The thing in the coffin bottle actually shocked the hundreds of millions of small fish in the pool to death at the moment when it came out of the water just now.
At the moment when the coffin bottle suddenly opened, Hui Ming roared: "Dart ......"
Then the two pieces of talisman paper between his fingers were thrown into the coffin, and his hands were tightly grasping the string of yellow Buddha beads, and he used his strength to stimulate the strength contained in it and protect himself. A hurricane centered on the bronze coffin and blew in all directions, and I was caught off guard, and I fell backwards, and when I looked up, I saw a hand on the edge of the coffin.
It was a thin, slippery hand that seemed to have a lot of moss on it, and some of it was green, like dehydrated chicken feet.
And then there's another.
Then, as I watched in horror, a dark figure sat up straight from within, holding on to the edges of the coffins on either side. At the first glance of this thing, I felt so familiar - it was a dry man, with wrinkled skin, tightly wrapped around the skull, and hair like aquatic plants, strands and strands, sticking along the contours of the face, and I couldn't tell the age, because it was really dehydrated, like a skeleton covered with a crumpled layer of human skin; Its eyes couldn't open at all, and a wisp of white appeared in the slit, and its nostrils twitched as if it were looking for something.
Suddenly, it looked over to me and opened its tightly knit eyes.
Red, eeriely red and white.
Ahh
