Chapter 260: Ghost Stall
Just as I was about to leave the market, the string of human bone rosaries I had snatched from Yu Xingyang's hand suddenly emitted a burst of agitation, and I could even feel that the human bone rosary exuded extremely strong hostility. The object of its wrath is hidden in the stall to my left.
I forcibly suppressed the human bone rosary before walking towards the stall full of coffins.
The owner of the stall rolled his eyelids and looked at me: "Friend, want to bet on the coffin?" β
I asked rhetorically, "What is a gambling coffin?" β
The boss said, "You know about gambling jade, right? Before cutting the rough stone, although the gambler can make a judgment from the appearance of the rough stone, but before it is opened, even the gods do not know what can be opened. β
The boss patted the coffin next to him: "It's the same with the gambling coffin." Each coffin here contains a corpse, which may be a human, a demon, or even a land flying immortal. However, before the coffin is opened, no one knows what is inside. So, you have to bet on your luck. Do you understand? β
I looked at each other and said, "Where did these coffins come from?" β
"Good question!" The boss gave a thumbs up: "These coffins are all from the coffin door!" β
My pupils shrank suddenly. I pretended not to know what it meant to bet on the coffin, and I was deliberately testing the boss, until he threw out the coffin door, and I was secretly shocked.
Old Walnut had dealt with the man who bound the coffin door.
The Coffin Gate is a very peculiar sect among tomb robbers. Nine out of nine tomb robbers, the first thing after going down to the tomb is to open the coffin, and the valuable burial goods are in the coffin. Tomb robbery is actually to enter the tomb, open the coffin, pick up the goods, and leave.
After going down to the tomb, they never opened the coffin, but tied it up with a rope and transported it whole, and then sold the complete coffin to the practitioners. Gambling coffins, that's how they came about.
The buyer didn't know what was in the coffin, and spent a lot of money to smash it, and there was only a handful of bones in it that was still better.
Shudao said that the reason why the coffin door was not opened was because they were unwilling to provoke the femininity. Actually, this statement is wrong.
Old Walnut told me that the coffin door never touches the ordinary tomb, and they rob the tomb to pick the evil tomb, that is to say, the coffin and the dark weapon that are made out by the coffin door are still secondary, and the first thing is the evil thing in the coffin.
The evil object may be a corpse, or it may be some kind of burial object, or it may even be a fungus that grows in a coffin. What exactly is it, in the end, it is still a bet.
I reached out and knocked on the coffin, saying, "This doesn't seem to be the way to tie the coffin door, right?" β
The boss's face sank and said, "You deliberately ruined my business?" β
"You're thinking too much." I said in a deep voice, "Nine ropes are used to tie the coffin. Nine is the extreme number, representing heaven in the Book of Changes, and the meaning of the nine ropes is the way of heaven to suppress evil. Am I right? β
The boss's face sank a little: "Don't you know how to count?" Count for yourself, it's a few ropes. β
"It's you who don't know how to count!" I approached the boss and said, "There are only six ropes to bind the coffin door, because the I Ching only has six lines, that is, six horizontal bars can represent the heavens." β
The boss was stunned for a moment and then laughed and said, "Connoisseur! β
The boss slapped the coffin on the side of the coffin with a gentle palm, and the eight coffins placed side by side on the stone table fell to the ground at the same time. This person's internal strength cultivation can be seen.
The boss didn't wait for me to speak, and then moved away from the stone table, revealing the four coffins hidden underneath: "These are the authentic things that bind the coffin door, friends can pick them at will!" β
I took a cursory look and gasped. Although the four coffins are of different sizes and styles, they are all engraved with runes without exception. In other words, from the beginning of the burial, these four coffins were specially made to suppress the yin in the coffin.
If I was interested in the things that bound the coffin door just now, now I just want to leave quickly. If you open this coffin, you may have what will happen.
The boss seemed to see what I meant, leaned forward, and whispered, "Friend, it's better for you to pick a coffin." The three things you just chose are fakes, and without my coffin, you will definitely lose. β
"I believe in my own vision!" I turned around and walked away, not giving my boss a chance to call me.
"Hey......
It wasn't until I had taken a few steps that I heard the man's sneer, and when I looked back, the whole coffin stall had disappeared without a trace in a few short steps, as if it had never been there.
I couldn't help frowning and asked the person transporting the goods next to me, "Where was the stall owner just now?" β
The person who transported the goods was stunned: "What stall owner?" Didn't you just stand at the crossing looking for your way? I call you, and you don't look back. β
"Looking for a way?" When I looked at the stall again, I saw that it was right in the middle of an intersection. It is impossible to set up a stall in that kind of place, if anyone sets up a stall there, he will definitely block other people's faces, and it is strange that other stall owners don't fight with him and break the bloodshed!
I couldn't help but say to myself, "It's impossible, there's a stall there, and I'm still talking to the boss!" β
The face of the person who transported the goods turned pale: "You won't meet a ghost stall, right?" β
"What do you mean?" As soon as I asked, the delivery people took a few steps to distance themselves from me: "Where are you going, I'll send you something quickly, I still have business over there......"
I suddenly jumped to the other party's side and reached out to clasp his neck: "Tell the truth, otherwise I will kill you immediately!" β
The delivery man was scared half to death by me: "You let go first, I'll tell you!" β
As soon as I let go, the man lifted the wooden mound in his hand and smashed it at me. When I raised my hand and slapped the wooden pier open, the man suddenly spewed out a cloud of black smoke like a squid, and he retreated.
I vaguely saw the figure behind the black smoke flickering, and then I wanted to chase the man, but he had already escaped more than ten meters away.
"Stop!" After two jumps in a row, I jumped into the air with both feet on the ground, and my hands turned into eagle talons, like a goshawk catching a rabbit, and swooped down from the air, and grabbed them straight to the other person's shoulders.
"Helpβ" The man shouted for help, and he had run to the edge of the market, and Baro, the witch who was standing there waiting for us, snorted coldly ten meters away when I was about to catch the man.
I only felt a thunderclap explode in my ears, which shook me dizzy for a while, and my hands subconsciously retracted, and the person also stood on the ground. By the time I came to my senses, the man had already run to Barrow's side: "Your Excellency, that person...... That guy has met a ghost stall......"
The big witch Barrow's body shook slightly, and he strode over to me: "Did you buy anything at the ghost stall?" β
I replied truthfully, "No! β
"Really?" Seeing that I answered so neatly, Barrow was a little unconvinced: "Tell the truth, don't mislead others and yourself." β
My voice also cooled: "Believe it or not! β
The black lady who had already walked out of the market sneered: "Your Excellency, the appearance of the ghost stall is very important, I think it is better to be cautious." Since he said he didn't buy it, why didn't Dawu do a body search? β
"What did you say?" I suddenly burst into murderous intent.
Innocent people being searched is an unbearable insult to ordinary people, let alone Jianghu people who value face more than life. In the rivers and lakes, whoever dares to propose a body search is tantamount to declaring war with the other party, and he will not die.
Madame Black's suggestion that Barrow search me was a provocation in itself, and it was strange that I didn't get angry.
Barrow was silent for a moment and said, "Lingyun Poison King, there is a reluctant request below......
Barrow has changed from calling himself Benwu to being below, which shows that he has lowered his posture.
Ling Yun didn't wait for him to finish speaking, so he said coldly: "Since it is a reluctant invitation, then don't say it, so as not to make everyone feel embarrassed when you say it." β
Ling Yun insisted on pushing Barrow back, and Barrow could only stubbornly say: "The stakes are very high, and I would like to ask the Poison King to make it convenient." If the problem can't be solved, I can only forcibly prevent a few people from entering the Blood City. β
Ling Yun raised his eyebrows: "What kind of blood city do you think I rarely enter?" Li Xin, Tan Yue, pack up your things, let's go back. β
