Lantern Xiao hurriedly picked up the gun, "Damn!" This guy is fierce enough! Not afraid! ”

I also hurriedly clenched the short knife, "The beast is all protective of food, maybe it thinks we are trying to rob it of its food." "It was the first time I had such a close encounter with such a beast, and I was extremely nervous.

Wenmo motioned for us to take two steps back, and then said to Lantern Xiao, "Put a shot upwards." ”

Lantern Xiao nodded, raised the muzzle of the gun, and slammed the shot.

The snow leopard, startled by the gunshot, stepped back, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly picked up the half of the ham and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

"Chase!"

We hurriedly picked up Kong Xue and followed in the direction the snow leopard left.

We turned off our flashlights and walked through the darkness, with the only guide being the bright green footprints on the ground. Because we couldn't see the situation above the ground, Lantern Xiao and I bumped into the protruding sharp corners several times, and we grinned in pain, and the road was very hard.

I don't know how long we walked through the darkness, until Wenmo, who was walking in front, turned on the flashlight, and I realized that we had walked out of the coffin maze and came to an open space.

I looked back at the bronze coffin behind me, and I didn't know who it was, such a big stroke, such a careful game, if it wasn't for a snow leopard breaking in and taking us out, otherwise we would have been trapped inside. I really don't want to remember the feeling of being trapped by death.

The ease of breaking out of a desperate situation makes us forget the hardships of the road ahead for a while. The spirit relaxed suddenly, and I slapped my hands with Lantern Xiao and lay directly on the ground. Kong Xue, who was placed next to us, also showed a long-lost smile. Even I found Wen Mo on the side and exhaled softly.

After a little rest, Lantern Xiao took out a lighter from her bag, stomped around, and found a lot of scattered tree roots, and even some wooden sticks. He took out another atlas from his bag, tore off a few pages to make a fire, and carefully lit a fire.

The red firelight jumped on everyone's faces, warm and comfortable, Lantern Xiao threw firewood into the fire, picked up a wooden strip casually, and muttered to himself: "Look at this material should be sandalwood, it's a pity, otherwise a few strings of bracelets can also get a thousand." ”

I looked at Lantern Xiao and the black wood in his hand, "You kid is obsessed with money, it's time to do it, and you won't even let go of a piece of wood!" ”

Lantern Xiao pouted: "What do you know?" This is an authentic thousand-year-old material, and it is absolutely rare! There's nowhere to get the money! It's a pity! Alas......" said that he was about to throw it into the fire, and just when the Lantern Festival was about to let go, the wooden strip was snatched by Wenmo.

Lantern Xiao smiled when she saw it, "Zhuo Ran, you see that you still talk about me, you look at Wenmo, you are more anxious than me." After speaking, Lantern Xiao smiled and said to Wenmo: "Brother Wenmo, it's no problem for you to take this, but when you go back and wait out, you make a bracelet, you have to let me pick a good string first." ”

Wen Mo glanced at him, "What do you know!" It's not sandalwood at all, it's ebony! And it's blood black! Take me there! ”

Hearing Wen Mo's words, I was stunned for a moment, although I had never seen blood ebony, but I had heard my second uncle talk to me about this kind of thing.

This kind of ebony is formed by the carbonization of wood due to the fact that some trees are buried in the ground and undergo special conditions such as high temperature and high pressure, and it is called the spirit of ten thousand trees, or even a sacred tree.

This kind of wood is becoming more and more scarce, and it is not renewable, and has now become an expensive collectible, but in ancient times, the biggest use of this wood is to ward off evil spirits, and this blood-colored blood ebony, it also has a very special function, that is, to suppress corpses!

The second uncle likes to delve into those strange things the most in his life, don't look at the usual giggling and unobtrusive appearance, but once he encounters things and things he likes, he will pay attention to them seriously.

Therefore, I still believe in what my second uncle told me.

The second uncle once told me such a thing: When the second uncle was young, he was often forced by his grandfather to read medical books and learn medical skills, but the second uncle at that age was full of enthusiasm and his heart was higher than the sky, and it was more uncomfortable for him to study in the house all day long than to kill him.

Finally one day, because the second uncle couldn't memorize the prescription, the grandfather was angry and dropped a white jade snuffbox that the second uncle liked very much. The second uncle and grandfather had a big quarrel, escaped from the house at night, and climbed into the coal car bound for Shanxi overnight.

After all, the second uncle was impulsive, and within two days of jumping off the coal car, the little money on his body was spent, and he had the heart to go home, first, there was no travel fee, and second, after he came back, he would inevitably have to let his grandfather count a meal, and it was likely that he would have to suffer from flesh and skin. The stubborn second uncle will definitely not turn back easily.

One day at noon, the second uncle came to a village, and when the second uncle was hungry, he passed by the door of a big house and saw a woman holding a child in front of the door, but the child kept crying. The second uncle also got some true inheritance of his grandfather at that time, and he could see at a glance that the child had a disease in his abdomen, so he couldn't stop crying.

The second uncle thought in his heart that if he could cure the child, at least he could get a meal. After making up his mind, the second uncle stepped forward quickly, opened his mouth and said, "This eldest sister, your child is sick!" It may be that the second uncle's hungry appearance at that time was really scary, coupled with this heartless opening remarks, it was really unreasonable not to beat him.

Sure enough, the woman took the second uncle as a child snatcher, and screamed in shock. Suddenly, several Kansai men rushed out of the courtyard, and seeing that they were about to be beaten, the second uncle suddenly shouted: "Stop!" Do you cry every day at noon? ”

One of the other people asked, "Who are you doing?" ”

The second uncle saw that the other party had been bluffed by himself, and smiled slightly, at this time his ability to talk nonsense fully played a role, and after that, the second uncle spat and depicted himself as a down-and-out miracle doctor who was framed by a traitor, and several other people were dumbfounded.

I have always felt that the second uncle was catching up with the thinking of people at that time, and if it is placed now, it is guaranteed that the second uncle will not say more than three sentences, and people will call the police. And the most important thing is actually the second uncle's sentence that points out the root of the child's illness.

After the second uncle finished hissing, the woman was already convinced that she didn't want it, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Divine doctor! You're so right, this kid has been crying for days at this hour, is there some evil disease? ”

At that time, many people were still a little superstitious, and when they encountered a problem that they couldn't understand, they were easy to contact ghosts and gods. The second uncle had a calculating expression on his face, "This matter will be handled by me, you can rest assured!" ”

The second uncle mixed the tomatoes with honey and gave it to the child to drink, and within an hour, the child pulled out a lot of black stool. It was really the medicine that cured the disease, and the child immediately stopped crying, his face became ruddy, and he began to play.

This family even regarded the second uncle as a god, and admired the five-body throw. not only left a good life hospitality, but even kept him for a few more days. This just follows the second uncle's wishes, these Kansai men are very bold, big bowls of wine, big bowls of knife-cut noodles, large pieces of steamed meat, the second uncle is very comfortable these days.

On this day, the second uncle was lying down on the recliner in front of the door basking in the sun leisurely, and suddenly saw several men and women running by on the road, and from time to time greeted the people he met on the road, shouting: "It's terrible, Niu Da and they dug up a rare thing when they went to work!" Check it out! ”

In that era when entertainment life was scarce, this kind of thing became an entertainment feast for people to run and tell each other. The Niu Da in these mouths, the second uncle knows, is the man in the house where he lives. The second uncle was also curious, so he followed those people out of the village.

Less than five miles from the village, I saw a lot of people gathered around me from afar. The second uncle separated from everyone and stepped forward to take a look, and saw a rather large rectangular box being placed on the ground.

When Niu Da saw the second uncle, he hurriedly came over to say hello, "Divine doctor, I have alarmed you too!" Just give me a look, what is this object? ”

The second uncle took a closer look, only to find that the box was made of copper, and the outside was already covered with green rust. Gently peeling off the soil stained on it, some carved patterns slowly emerged, although the second uncle was young at that time, but the strange old objects also had some years, observing these patterns for a while, the second uncle had roughly seen the origin of this thing, and couldn't help but say to himself: "This seems to be a coffin!" ”

The cow next to him listened, "What! Coffin! Out of surprise, Niu Da's words were very loud, and the people around him all talked about it when they heard it.

"Why is there such a coffin, it looks like a lot of years."

"Look at this look, it's an ancient coffin!"

"I heard the old man say in my early years that there was a prince in our place! Maybe this is the tomb of the prince! ”

"Then there must be a lot of treasures in this coffin!"

Everyone was talking, and gradually, the eyes of some people staring at the dug up coffin changed, becoming full of desire and becoming a little greedy.

The second uncle usually likes these strange things, and today he finally met nature to study it carefully, the second uncle peeled off all the soil of the coffin, and the original appearance of the bronze coffin was revealed, and the second uncle stared at the coffin for a while, and his face changed.

Because the second uncle saw a few chains tied to the coffin, this practice seemed to be afraid that something in the coffin would come out, and all of them were reinforced with chains.

At that time, the second uncle was not very knowledgeable, although he thought it was weird, but he didn't know why.

However, at this time, everyone was already a little impatient, "Let's open this coffin, maybe there are gold ingots inside!" ”

The second uncle hurriedly said: "Everyone, this coffin is a little weird, and it is disrespectful to the deceased to open the coffin!" ”

"Then you can tell me, what's so strange about this coffin?"

The second uncle pointed to the protrusion on the coffin and said: "This coffin is firmly locked by chains, which is inconsistent with common sense, as the saying goes: There must be a demon in this thing!" ”

"Maybe the chains are locked up because of the treasures inside, and they are afraid of being stolen!"

"What a demon! You are superstitious! ”

"This gentleman, you are not our local, so don't be greedy!"

Everyone is gossiping, where can they listen to the words of the second uncle. Suddenly, an old and loud voice sounded: "Hmph! It's all stupid! ”
