Chapter 19: The Cave of Bones (2)
Chu Xuanming also looked up at the sky, and saw that in the sky, there were stars flickering and flickering, flickering and flickering.
"One, two, three...... There are nine of them, and there is any connection to the eight peaks on the earth? But why not eight? Ishihara, do you know the names of these stars?"
Ishihara said angrily: "There are so many stars in the sky, how can I know them all, just know the Big Dipper and the Morning Star to find a way home, alas, don't look at it too much, this place is really strange, do you know where the skull just now went?"
When Chu Xuanming heard this, he looked around, and there was indeed no trace of the two skulls, and exclaimed: "It's strange, when these 'stars' light up, the skulls seem to have disappeared suddenly." ”
"It's useless to stay longer, let's run for our lives. Ah Qiu-" Ishihara didn't get well from his cold, he had no treasures, and he was depressed and frustrated.
"Alright, let's go ahead and see if there's any way out. Chu Xuanming said, stepping on the geographical map and moving forward, the geographical map is not known what material is made of, the two of them walked all the way, but it was intact. Chu Xuanming watched while walking, just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to remember the geography of Kyushu clearly, after all, it is very likely to be used when he walks the world in the future.
This cave is just like the legendary land of Kyushu, the sky is round and the place is round, and the two of them walked through a pile of snow-covered glaciers before reaching the end of the cave. At the end, two jade doors stand, and the spars on the jade doors are shining and colorful.
"Obediently, if this door can chisel some jade slag, it will be worth a lot of money to go out and sell it!" Although Ishihara said this, he also knew that he had no tools now, and he would definitely not be able to get it down, so he looked down at the wooden sword on Chu Xuanming's waist, swallowed and spat, and finally didn't say anything.
Chu Xuanming and Ishihara pushed the door together, but they never thought that the door was very light, and it opened round and wide as soon as they pushed.
"Squeak-" When the jade door opened, the door pivot rubbed against the door shaft to make a long, dull sound, the voice that existed before eternity, telling the antiquity and mystery of all this.
The jade door opened, and there was a small stone room, which was made of jade blocks, square, and in the middle of the room, a beautifully carved sarcophagus lay there quietly. There is nothing but this coffin.
Chu Xuanming said in his heart: I really handed over the coffin, and it was a coffin everywhere.
The two walked around the coffin, and found a stone cave dug out of the back of the coffin, which looked extremely disproportionate, and the cave was secluded, and there were faint points of light flickering.
"Is this cave an exit?" Ishihara said, and looked at the gorgeous sarcophagus, although he was not a tomb robber, but his greed for treasures made him involuntarily touch the phoenix pattern and dragon ball jade ring carved on the sarcophagus, as if with his hand, those carved treasures would slip into his hands:
"It's really strange here, there are no candles, no incense offerings, and such a coffin protrudes out of it, and I don't know if it's for burial. "Ishihara hopes that the emperor and generals will be buried inside, and there will be rare antiques to accompany the burial.
Chu Xuanming thought about the strange experience after entering the underwater Dragon Palace, and said: "That's true, the cave and this small stone room behind us, the hidden place of this palace at that time, I don't know why the ancients wanted to make this place mysterious, this landscape geography, the sky full of stars should be to simulate the universe flood, saying that the ancients wanted to sacrifice, but there is no trace of incense and sacrifices, or we open this coffin, maybe we can know the secret is not known." ”
This was in the heart of Ishihara, he swallowed and spit, just wanted to open the museum, but he was worried that there were corrupt bones in it that would pop out and be scary, and when he hesitated, he saw that the bold Chu Xuanming had already pushed the jade sarcophagus with both hands.
The coffin was extremely heavy, Chu Xuanming held the coffin with both hands and pushed hard, but his feet were overexerted, and he slipped on the ground freely, and he didn't push the sarcophagus for half a minute. He also saw a hole in the sarcophagus, the thickness of a baby's arm, so he took off the wooden saber from his waist, and inserted the hilt into the hole, trying to push the sarcophagus open with skill.
It's just that as soon as the hilt of the sword entered the hole, the jade sarcophagus seemed to be alive, and slowly opened on its own.
Ishihara was about to lie down to see if there was a treasure inside, Chu Xuanming pulled him aside and said:
"Aren't you afraid that ghosts will pop up inside?" As soon as the words came out, even Chu Xuanming shuddered.
The sarcophagus was fully opened, and Chu Xuanming and the two retreated five steps away, staring at them with good eyes. After ten breaths, there was no change, and Ishihara was anxious and rushed to see it first.
"Ahh
Chu Xuanming was also busy looking, only to see that the jade coffin was empty, if there was anything, it was still there, but it was indeed a line of words.
The lettering dragon flying and phoenix dancing, it is not difficult to imagine that it is a knife or sword, drawn up.
"All laws are the way, and the way is dry bones, alas...... Immortality, a dream!" Chu Xuanming gently read out the inscription.
Immortality, a dream!
Before Chu Xuanming's words fell, he saw that the color in the cave had changed, and the original mutton fat white color of the jade sarcophagus, walls, and gate had turned blood red. Look at the feet again, piles of white bones like a hill crowded the entire stone room, the miserable white extends to the cave that was originally the geographical territory of Kyushu, and the cave no longer has a beautiful Milky Way, in exchange for a gloomy red dot, like a floating soul.
The Tao is dry bones!
"Haha...... I'll just say that you two are blessed people! Before the two of them could be surprised, they heard the voice of the strange man with a hat outside the Nabao Hall sounding from a distance.
There was a loud bang at the gate that was blocked by beams and trees before the "boom ......", and the stone gate instantly shattered and splashed. A figure appeared behind him, who was not the strange man!
The hat was blocked, and I couldn't see the strange man's appearance and expression, only heard him giggle weirdly, and he was about to enter the room.
"Huh?"
At the moment when the strange man was about to enter the cave, his body seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall of qi, and finally stopped in a strange posture.
"Hee-hee...... It is worthy of the ancient power, and this projectile chamber has such an exquisite guardian formation. The strange man said, his hands turned into palms in front of his chest, and in an instant his fingers were like small snakes, performing thousands of changes, and finally the ring fingers merged together, sent forward, and pointed in the air in front of him, and said:
"Open!"
There was a huge earthquake in the cave, and Chu Xuanming and Ishihara were just about to scream miserably, but the cave returned to calm in a moment. The strange man stood motionless, as if surprised that the exercise had not worked.
"It seems that we are going to alarm the group of old wastes of the True Martial Sect, it's really troublesome. ”
After the strange man finished speaking, he saw that his mouth suddenly pulled down, and his chin was actually pulled down half a foot long, exposed to the outside of the hat, and put his hand to his mouth, and the green light in his mouth flashed, and his right hand pulled out a cyan long sword from it, and the sword flashed, like a cyan dragon.
"Transform!"
The strange man held the green sword in his hand, and shouted, the cyan dragon suddenly magnified a hundred times, covering the strange people behind, only to see that the tip of the sword was as big as a house, and instantly emitted boundless sword qi, the sword qi was colorful and uncertain, like the sunset and colorful glow, and the tip of the sword poked out and hit the invisible qi wall.
