Chapter 35: The Coffin Breaks (Two Chapters Combined into One Chapter)
In just a moment, three of the three hundred and sixty Green Dragon Town Evil Nails nailed to the ground had already jumped out, and as I approached, more nails were trembling slightly, as if they were about to break ground.
I was terrified. The blue-faced fox alone has already killed a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, if this lord comes out, then it will be worth it! I pounced and pressed down a Qinglong Town Evil Nail that was about to break out of the ground, but I could hold down this one, but I couldn't stop the other, so I simply pressed the whole person up.
However, the nail bounced so hard that I was hit in the chest by a jumping nail, and I felt my bones click, and my eyes went black, and I almost fainted.
The ink fountain lines that were originally connected to the nail head were broken one after another, and a cold whirlwind blew in the room, and the blood scripture silk pressed on the coffin lid flew into the sky, and they were all raised and sprinkled on the ground, and the huge runes written in cinnabar all over the cave became as red as blood!
I endured the sharp pain in my back and grabbed a green dragon suppression nail from the ground. According to the third uncle, this nail is a holy object to suppress evil, if there are any demons and monsters in it, I can't say that I will fight with him with this nail!
In the blink of an eye, only the sound of "grabbing" like bursting beans was heard, and three hundred and sixty nails of Qinglong Town jumped out one after another. I quietly rolled under the side of the coffin and hid there. This position is a visual blind spot in the coffin, and it is the least easy to find.
I bit the tip of my tongue, took a mouthful of Longyang blood, closed my eyes and breathed a few times, slowing my heart to the slowest level, holding my breath and not moving. I heard a "boom", a sound I was very familiar with, the sound of the coffin lid shifting.
I tightened the nail in my hand, the whole person was a little wooden, I don't know if I was too nervous or too scared, and there was a brief blank in my mind. My eyes widened, and I stared at the edge of the coffin for a moment, thinking that as soon as something came out of it, I would pierce it with a nail!
After a while, there was no movement.
I was in a cold sweat behind my back, and I was about to lose my breath when I suddenly saw a hand stretched out from the coffin and put it on the edge of the coffin.
That hand was slender and slender like white jade, but in my eyes, it was even more terrifying than seeing a carrion beast! With one palm on the ground, his body bounced up, and he held the anti-evil nail upside down with both hands, and stabbed into the coffin with all his might.
But while his body was still in the air, he already realized that something was wrong. The smoke in the coffin was so thick that I couldn't see what was inside. In an instant, a huge force slammed into it, as if it had hit an iron plate, and it was immediately shot out, stuck to the wall, and bounced again before falling to the ground. The whole figure was run over by a heavy truck, and the bones all over the body seemed to fall apart, and he collapsed limply on the ground, unable to move a finger.
I spat out the blood, and I felt a blackness in front of my eyes and a buzzing in my ears. After a while, I saw that the hand on the edge of the coffin moved, the smoke blew away, and a woman sat up from the coffin, withdrew her hand and pressed it to her mouth, yawned, and then spread her hands, as if stretching her waist.
She turned her face, her eyes half-squinted, as if she hadn't fully woken up, sleepy-eyed, and a lazy look.
This is a very young woman, she looks, maybe ten ** years old, maybe twenty years old, wrapped in this smoke, her face is beautiful and vulgar, a little more beautiful than Sister Ning, but there is a layer of blood between the skin, which looks pale and abnormal. Especially sitting in this coffin, it is even more weird, and I don't know if it's a human or a ghost!
Perhaps sensing my gaze, the woman turned her head to glance at me, but only for a moment, and then turned away. Yawned again, and then came out of the coffin, turned his gaze, and looked lazily around the tomb, his expression was indifferent, even if he saw the head of a person in one place, his expression did not change at all, and he turned a blind eye.
I was slumped on the ground, unable to move a finger. Seeing that the woman turned around, her skirt was lightly raised, her black hair fell down to her shoulders, she was a top and a skirt, the color of a white magnolia, and a few crab claw chrysanthemums were embroidered on the placket. I used to be in the village, and I had never seen a big girl wear such a dress, looking at this style, it was a bit old-fashioned, but it looked like the kind of girl dress in the Republic of China period broadcast on TV.
The woman wandered around the burial chamber, and her eyes finally brightened, as if she had slept for a long time, and now she was finally a little awake. He walked up to me, squatted down, looked at it for a while, and asked, "Want to live?" Want to die? ”
Her voice was very delicate, but her tone was cold and without any emotion.
I raised my head, just to meet her eyes, only to feel that this woman is beautiful and elegant, indescribably good-looking, but the expression is cold and indifferent, I can't see whether this person is happy or angry, worried or happy, I can't help but feel terrified, and said: "I want to live!" "Isn't this nonsense, who in this world wants to die?
The woman reached out and touched my forehead. When I touched her palm, I only felt that it was unusually cold, and I couldn't help but shiver.
"Am I cold?" The woman said.
I quickly shook my head. It's just that the fall just now was really heavy, and I couldn't twist my neck, so although I shook it hard, my head just trembled slightly.
The woman looked at me and said, "If you want to live, don't move." Although the voice was tactful, the tone was cold and without warmth. So saying, he got up and walked out of the tomb.
I lay on the ground for a long time, and I could not hear any movement outside, but at last I was able to regain my strength, and I was able to get up with pain, and stumbled to the door of the tomb, and saw the woman sitting on a rock in the hole, looking up at the gap above her head, and her feet dangling in the air.
I followed her gaze a few times and said, "The hole is too small to get out." ”
The woman looked at me, her face was not moving, she sat down for a while, jumped off the stone, walked towards the tomb, and said, "Come in." ”
I just thought this woman was weird, and I just wanted to get as far away as possible, but now that the entrance to the cave was blocked, there was no way to escape, so I had to follow her in. The smell of blood in the burial chamber was choking, and it was both blood and human heads, but the woman was unmoved, and ordered, "Clean up the inside." ”
I was stunned and said, "How do you clean it up?" ”
The woman looked at me and said coldly, "Put these in the coffin." He pointed to the human head on the ground.
I had no choice but to walk over, and when I saw that the village chief's eyes were wide open, and I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart, and bowed to them. He tore a piece of cloth from his clothes, wrapped his palms, and went over to close the eyes of the village elder, and then held his head and put it in the empty coffin. Then he did the same and invited the others over one by one.
The woman had been standing by and said, "Why aren't you afraid?" ”
I shook my head and said, "There's nothing to be afraid of. "Although these people have terrifying faces, they are nothing to me, who is used to working with corpses.
The woman didn't say anything. When I had finished cleaning up the head, she pointed to the sticky blood stains on the ground that had turned dark brown and said, "Here's more." ”
I was embarrassed and said, "There's no water here, there's no way to rinse." ”
She frowned slightly and said, "So be it." And he came out of the burial chamber and sat down on the great stone, on his knees. As I stood in the tomb, I felt the smell of blood in my nose, and the smell was so bad that I went out of the tomb and found a place to sit under the big rock.
The woman sat on the stone for a while, was silent for a long time, and then said, "From now on, you will be my servant, and you will have to do whatever I tell you to do, understand?" ”
I couldn't help but "lean" in my heart, thinking to myself if this woman has a problem with her brain, and she still thinks that she is a young lady of the official family before liberation, a manly man, when will you become your servant? He said, "I don't understand!" ”
The woman said, "If you want to live, be my servant, understand?" ”
"Got it!"
I have read so many books, and a homeroom teacher like Mr. Arita has carefully taught me, so I naturally understand the truth of "staying in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood".
The woman let out a "hmm" and didn't speak again for a long time. I couldn't help but look up at her secretly, but I just met her gaze, quickly retracted my head, and said, "You didn't sleep?" ”
"What do you sleep during the day?"
I heard that her tone was not very harsh, so I said, "I listened to your silence and thought you were sleeping." "Actually, I was a little quick to talk at that time, and if I made her unhappy at that time, I might have killed me at that time. It's just that this is also related to the situation at that time, we were locked in a cave, and we had no water or food, and sooner or later we would die, so it didn't matter.
I didn't dare to ask who she was or why she was in the coffin, and it wasn't until later that I learned her name was Aoko. I just don't know if it's her real name, a fake name, or just a casual one.
Fortunately, at that time, Qingzi did not have a seizure, but was silent for a while, and asked me, "What time is it now?" ”
I didn't understand what she meant for a while, and I was pondering it, so I heard her add again: "How many years has it been since Emperor Xuantong abdicated?" ”
What kind of emperor is Emperor Xuantong? I didn't get my mind around right away, and then I remembered, "You're talking about the rituals?" ”
Qingzi said: "It should be called this name." ”
I said: "If you want to say anything, that is the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he abdicated early, and it should have been more than a hundred years by now!" ”
In fact, I was not right at the time, the abdication of Emperor Xuantong was in 1912, on February 12 of that year, under the persuasion of the cabinet minister Yuan Shikai, his mother Empress Dowager Longyu issued an edict of abdication, less than a hundred years ago.
Qingzi let out an "oh", and said after a while: "It turns out that it has been so many years." ”
I was a little skeptical, and I was terrified. Judging from her appearance, except for being indifferent, she is no different from ordinary people, but if she is a human, how can anyone come out of a coffin?
I said a few words to her, and when I heard her tone not as cold and hard as earlier, my mind was lively for a while, and I dared to ask: "You won't be sealed in a coffin when Xuantong abdicated, right?" "As soon as I said that, I regretted it.
Who can be sealed in a coffin for nearly a hundred years and not die, unless it is a yin corpse like Liu Nan! This woman may be some kind of corpse for a hundred years and a thousand years! Isn't this a dead end?
Qingzi didn't attack on the spot, but just sneered: "Who can block me?" ”
I quickly admitted my mistake and said that it was all nonsense. Qingzi said: "I sealed it myself." ”
I was taken aback: "You sealed it yourself?" Why? I wondered if this woman was making up nonsense, how could she seal herself in a coffin.
Qingzi said coldly: "As long as I like it, what's not to do?" ”
I was speechless. After a while, I heard the woman say again: "I was a little tired, I just wanted to sleep for a while, but I didn't expect that this sleep was quite long." ”
I thought to myself, "It's long, it's not good!" If she wasn't lying, she'd slept for a hundred years, which is longer than a lot of people's lives!
I really can't understand what this woman is about, what she said is incredible!
Then there was silence, Aoko didn't speak again, and I don't know if she was in a daze or asleep. After a while, I suddenly found that I couldn't see the things around me clearly, and then I realized that it was dark, and the opening on the top of the cave couldn't leak in the slightest bit of skylight, and the cave was pitch black.
I remembered that I slept in the same bed with my third uncle last night, and dreamed of going home to build a new building, but I didn't expect that today was a matter of people, and the third uncle didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and I was trapped in this ghost place, waiting to be dyed of thirst and starvation, or to be killed by this mysterious woman.
It was already cold in the mountains, especially at night, lying on the ground, the rocks were sticking to the back, cold, and after sleeping for a while, I was so cold that I could only keep turning over.
"What for?" Aoko's cold voice came from the darkness.
It turned out that the woman hadn't slept yet. I said, "It's so cold on the ground!" ”
Qingzi said: "Don't turn it over again!" ”
"It's so cold, I can't stand it if I don't freeze!" I crossed my arms and took a few breaths.
Qingzi said coldly: "Whatever I tell you to do, you will do it!" If you dare to mess around again, you will be killed immediately! ”
I scolded in my heart: "You are the life of a dog, your whole family is a dog's life!" "But after all, I didn't dare to talk back to her again, for fear that she would really slaughter me as soon as she got angry. I had to grit my teeth, shrunk into a ball, and squeezed for a while, only to feel that the rock in the ground was sticking to my back, and the chill went straight into my bones. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I cautiously turned over.
"If you don't move, you still move?"
I didn't think that just these few movements were actually heard by this dead woman, which was even smarter than a cat's ears! It was so uncomfortable that I couldn't help but feel on fire in my heart, and shouted: "If you don't turn over, you'll freeze to death!" ”
Qingzi sneered in the dark: "If you are disobedient again, see how I clean you up!" ”
I had to keep my mouth shut, but it was so cold in the mountains at night that I couldn't stand it. Qingzi said: "Then let me get up and stand up and sleep!" ”
I got up from the ground and jumped a few times to warm up.
"Stand still!"
I could only stop, holding my hands and trembling. After standing trembling for a long time, I felt that my legs were sore, and when I looked in the darkness, I vaguely saw the woman sitting on a boulder, leaning on her knees, as if she had not even changed her posture. Suppressed his voice and asked, "Have you slept?" ”
"What are you doing?" Aoko's cold voice came from the darkness.
I hugged my body and shivered for a while, and asked, "What is that blue-faced fox in your tomb?" ”
"What green-faced fox?"
I sighed and said, "It's the black stone statue that is placed on the west side of your tomb, the human body, but the one with a green-skinned fox face." By the way, there's a thick chain tied to your body, and you locked that thing there, right? ”
Qingzi said coldly: "I haven't sealed anything like this. After a while, he said, "Maybe someone got it in later." ”
I was very surprised, I originally thought that since this green-faced fox was in the tomb, it must have been sealed by the owner of this tomb, but it turned out to be not.
"What the hell is that thing?" Thinking of the bloody and strange killing scenes in the tomb, even a person as powerful as a dead face died tragically on the spot, and his body couldn't help but get even colder, and he shivered.
"How do I know? As soon as I woke up, you made a mess of the tomb! ”
I couldn't help but be silent, and I became more and more worried about the safety of my third uncle. There was silence for a while, and Qingzi's cold voice came faintly: "Are you surnamed Bai?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, shook my head, and then remembered that it was dark at this time, and she turned her back to me again, and she couldn't see it at all, so she said, "No, my surname is Lu." ”
Qingzi said: "Then is there anyone surnamed Bai here, where is it?" ”
My heart jumped, and I immediately realized that she was talking about Bai Mei's family, hesitated for a while, and said, "Bai family...... There is no one left. ”
After I finished speaking, I didn't hear the woman speak again for a long time. After a long time, I heard her "oh": "How did you die?" ”
I heard that her tone was a little unkind, and I couldn't help but be a little frightened, so I told Baimei about it one by one, but in the end, I vaguely said that we were trapping Liu Nan.
"Where are those people from the Liu family?"
I listened to her voice as cold as snow, and I couldn't help but be frightened, and hurriedly said: "The dead old woman of the Liu family has returned to heaven, and most of the people have died in it." ”
After a moment of silence, Qingzi said, "In the coffin, is it the daughter of the Bai family?" ”
My heart was pounding, and I didn't know how to explain it for a moment, and said, "Yes...... One yes. Peeking at her, I vaguely saw her sitting there, and after a while, suddenly got up and came down from the boulder.
"Come in with me." Vaguely saw her walking towards the burial chamber.
I didn't know what she was going to do, so I had to keep up. At this time, the night was like water, and when I arrived in the tomb, it was even darker, and I could only rely on my memory to identify the direction of various things in the tomb to avoid tripping.
"What, you can't see?" Aoko's voice sounded faintly in the darkness.
Damn, who can see such a dark place? Hell if you can see it! But I didn't dare to say that, so I honestly said "um", saying that it was too dark inside.
"Your family didn't do corpses, and you didn't open the night eye?"
