Chapter 24 The coffin of the dragon and the phoenix

The rats we had blocked outside the hole were still wrestling with the bronze, their fangs and claws, and their voices fierce.

At this time, coupled with the friction sound in the coffin, the cold energy crawled all over the body from the soles of the feet in an instant, hiding under the skin and shivering.

Tang Jiao held a disc bronze and trembled, I really want to ask him, you are so afraid that where did that energy go just now? The courage I just borrowed from the tiger will be returned now?

Seeing that the coffin was shaking violently, I grabbed him by the collar and pulled him out of the pile of burial vessels, kicked him over, and said, "Kneel!" ”

Tang Jiao looked back at me sluggishly, and he looked miserable with a few marks on his face scratched by the rats.

I glared at him, and he seemed to understand, and turned his head to the coffin and slammed it to his knees.

I then knelt down on one knee and said to the owner in the coffin: "The three of us mistakenly entered this cave to save our lives today, and we have no offense, we apologize to you for our disrespect to you before, and hope that you can forgive my friend for his rudeness, and do not disturb your own monastic reincarnation." If we can get out of the tomb safely, and when we have all the things in our hands on another day, we will definitely present you with a thousand taels of gold and silver, and a document to report to the king of Hades for generosity. This matter was testified by Yin Bao Shen Zhongming and Yang Bao Shen Pei, and it can be checked at any time. If we do, we are willing to bear all the consequences. ”

Yin Bao is the guarantor of the underworld, Shen Ji relies on the name of the ancestor to do every white thing, and Yang Bao is his master.

There are above rules, and when a person dies, he must abide by the rules of the dead.

Although it is difficult and tiring to be a human being, when it comes to reincarnation, humanity is difficult to choose, and the more virtue you accumulate, the higher the level of reincarnation in the six realms.

Although it is unfair to classify living beings as three, six, nine, and so on, everyone does this, and there is no injustice at all.

All in all, a guaranteed piece of writing with their benefits is an extremely tempting condition for every shade.

Because after a person dies, grievances are not written off, and the mistakes made while living must be returned. At that time, I found that I had not accumulated enough virtue in my life, and it was not so easy to redeem it, which was basically equivalent to the flowering of an iron tree.

Soon after I finished speaking, the sound in the coffin gradually subsided, and after the noise died down, the coffin stabilized.

Tang Jiao was paralyzed on the ground and couldn't stand up, holding his knees with his hands, looking unproductive.

I'm not sure if the owner of the tomb is really willing to make this exchange with me, so I waited a long time in the same place.

I didn't move, and Tang Jiao didn't dare to move, and I didn't dare to say anything if I wanted to ask.

After a long time, seeing that the coffin was really not moving, I breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from the ground.

"Master." Before I could say a word, I looked back and found that the rat had so quickly carved a crack in the bronze, and half of its head was about to squeeze in, and the blood on its paws and mouth was whirring, and it looked terrifying.

"Leave them alone, these things can last for a while, the top priority is to see if there are other passages here, find a way to figure out the identity of the tomb owner and the scale of the tomb, and naturally don't be afraid of these rats when you can go out."

As I spoke, I leaned over and picked up a few pieces of the night pearl from the ground that were larger to use as lamps, and when Tang Jia saw that I had taken it, he had the courage to pick up a few and follow Ziwei to shine on the surrounding walls.

Except for the four broken beads, there is nothing particularly precious about the things here, but every piece of workmanship is exquisite, and even the carved eyelets are finely polished, which is extremely complicated.

Judging from the primitive living conditions in Muzhang County, it took time to make so many utensils to accompany the funeral, presumably the coffin in this coffin is not an ordinary family.

The three of us examined one area at a time, and then came back to the middle a few minutes later, staring at each other and shaking our heads.

At this moment, the rat stuck in the crack of the bronze vessel broke free from its shackles, and at once rushed in, and with its claws outstretched, it scratched around the tomb, and rushed straight at us.

Tang Jiao pounced, lay on the ground and grabbed his tail, and I immediately pierced the mouse's head and stopped its struggle.

Tang Jiao, who had made a meritorious service, was about to get up, and with a ding dong, I lowered my head and saw a bronze mirror falling out of his pants.

The corners of my mouth twitched twice, you bastard!

"It's the first time I've seen you show that asking for money and not wanting to die is so obvious." I looked at him, and I had already gritted my teeth in my heart, just because he still wanted to go down to the emperor's tomb, with his dishonest hands, he would have to run into the mechanism and shoot him to death.

Tang Jiao scratched his head in embarrassment, and muttered in a low voice: "My mother still needs money when she gave birth, where did I get my life without money, these two mean the same thing to me, hehe, the same!" ”

I picked up the bronze mirror on the ground, looked at it, and saw that there was a strange animal carved behind the mirror.

Crested head, insect body, bird wings, centipede foot, snake tail.

"Totem?" Ziwei was standing behind me.

I shook my head, remembering the monster I had seen in the fog.

Although the pattern behind the mirror is not so terrifying, if such a creature exists, I am afraid that these two can be classified as the same species.

Insects, centipedes, birds, snakes, these four things are very common in Muzhang County, but the phoenix. Words can't be said to be dead, but no one has seen them until now, and the dragon and phoenix are mostly used as a symbol in our eyes, representing auspiciousness or power.

Don't......

I then picked up other burial vessels, the patterns on them are all flowers and insects and snakes, nothing special, Tang Jiao's eyes are really good, and he can pick good things.

I threw the bronze mirror back to him, and when I saw the coffin, I became suspicious.

"Shopkeeper Shen, this coffin board can't be moved." Seeing that I didn't object to him taking things, Tang Jiao hurriedly hugged a few more pieces into his arms, thinking that I also wanted to take something out.

The coffin is very large, placed in the center uprightly, the style is like thirteen circles, what material can not be seen, probing the hand, very gentle.

After the coffin is buried, it is cold after a long time, and it is unreasonable for the wood to be kept warm in the ground for so long.

Looking at the coffin, it doesn't look like someone has put a curse, and there is another possibility when you think about it.

When the wood was not cut down, the tree began from the seedling to the end, day and night, and never left the sunlight for a moment. And there is no shelter in all directions, each branch is a polar yang thing, and then select the thickest part of it to use. In this way, no matter how long the whole wooden body takes, it cannot change its essence, and it can be kept from decaying for hundreds of billions of years under natural destruction.

This kind of condition sounds very harsh, and the mere mention of the sun day and night is enough to treat it as a strange talk and laugh it off.

It's night, where does the sun come from?

It is recorded in the book that although this kind of wood is a thing of the sun, it is the most suitable tool for practice, but if it is not used properly, it will be extremely fierce, and it can overcome the life of the user for life and cut off the blessing of children and grandchildren, who will use it to make a coffin.

I thought about looking elsewhere, this coffin was also well painted, a thin layer wrapped around the carving, and the fragments of the night pearl were handed over, shining with light.

"There are four dragons coiled around the corner." Ziwei pointed to it, "On the coffin lid is a phoenix." ”

"The owner of the tomb is not simple." Tang Jiao said: "There must be faith in a tribe-like place like Muzhang County, and the carving of dragons and phoenixes is almost a leader-level funeral, and there are four beads, which are broken and broken, and they are really willing to protect the corpse." ”

I nodded, "Silong Tuofeng, there should be a woman inside, if it is the leader, the nearest one may be Mu Jinshu's sister, that is, the mother of the current leader."

Tang Jiao's face twitched, "Miss Mu is so young and beautiful, she is actually the old woman's aunt, how do they calculate this." ”

Ziwei disagreed, saying: "They are not the same space as us, and it is unreasonable to use our thinking to sort out things here." ”

Hearing him say this, I was a little surprised, this is indeed the case, this is the generation gap between the two spaces.

"Let's ...... Open this coffin and take a look? Tang Jiao asked tentatively.

As soon as he finished speaking, I immediately said, "No! ”

Zi didn't look at me, I said: "We have done so many white things, and we have never had the rule of opening people's coffins plainly, and we can't do things that hurt people's morals." ”

"Aren't we forced to do this, just take a look, I promise, I won't touch the best things in it."

"You're not afraid?" I raised an eyebrow and stared at him.

Tang Kao wiped his face, scoundrel to the end, "It's not that I'm afraid, don't we have to find a way to figure out this hole so that we can get out, if it's really the leader, maybe we can get some clues about Muzhang County from her, so it's convenient for us to save Jiang Xun, right?" Shopkeeper Shen, you promised her what kind of paperwork she would write for her, she has to be a good person to do it to the end to get paid, if you damage Yin Virtue, Shopkeeper Shen, don't you just give it to excess. Therefore, the opening of the coffin is a good thing for others and ourselves, and she will not blame us for this, and we have nothing to worry about, what are we afraid of. ”

"You and Jiang Xun are really thicker than the other." I said, "Just this once, don't touch anything." ”

"Done!" He readily agreed.

"Stand back."

"Hey!" Tang Jiao stepped aside, Ziwei stepped forward, and the two of them quickly checked the situation of the sealed coffin, which was not the same as what we usually do, only four long nails.

Shen remembered that the nails had their own set of methods, without any tools, put their hands on the wood next to the nails, find the right position, and shoot with air, as long as they hit twice, the nails would come out on their own, and then pull them out vertically.

Thinking that he would restore others, he put all four nails on me.

The rest of the work was left to the two men, and I stood behind them, beware of the unexpected.

The coffin was very heavy, and the sound of smashing when it hit the ground frightened the rats into running in all directions, and they no longer insisted on dealing with the bronze objects.

I looked at the back of the bronze vessel, and there was a little mouse that found the gap in the bronze vessel, drilled into it, and its eyes turned around, and when it met me, it was startled and turned its head back.

I think it's weird, why are these rats still running after us with their bravado, and this moment of kung fu is cowardly, obviously a hole a little bigger than its body, but they don't dare to drill into it.

Just thinking about it, as soon as the coffin was opened, Tang Jiao gasped, retreated again and again, ran behind Ziwei and asked in shock: "What the hell is going on, we knelt down for such a thing just now?" ”

I turned my head and followed Ziwei's gaze, and my heart jumped.

What was buried there was actually a giant python wearing a woman's clothes!
