Chapter 50: The Incorruptible Kirin

The teacher was unfavorable, and he hung up the color without even seeing the shadow of the coffin.

The two treated each other's wounds, and the thorns on the fat man's body were easy to deal with, just pull out the rubbing medicine.

The serrations of the big-mouthed flower were thin and dense, and the fat man's shoulders brushed three rows of arc-shaped blood holes, but although the mouth was deep but not large, the blood quickly stopped.

Wu Xie's is a bit tricky, his right hand is swollen into pig's trotters, and there are some very tiny burrs in it, and he has to go to the hospital to use a special magnifying instrument to see and pull it out, so he has to wrap his hand into a dumpling.

It doesn't hurt to pierce those burrs in the palm of the hand, it seems to have some kind of anesthetic effect, and the palm can only feel the wood and swell.

"What shall we do now?" The fat man unpacked the pack of compressed biscuits and handed them to Wu Xie.

"Keep going? It's better to withdraw first and then find a way, wait for the blind man to come over with a large army, and then directly bring heavy firepower to flatten that thing, or bring the little Wang Ba's grandson over and feed the big mouth flowers. ”

Wu Xie took a sip of water, "This is the first time I've heard you retreat in the tomb." ”

"How?" The fat man didn't seem quite right when he heard his tone.

"The blind man said that this trip is equivalent to the task left by Muyu for me, and only by going out from here can I go to Motuo." Wu Xie said in a low voice, "He said that he brought me something from the desert, which was left to me by the third uncle, but now I am not qualified to see it." ”

The fat man almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, "If you didn't tell me about such a life-threatening thing, you're still not a brother." ”

Wu Xie said helplessly: "The blind man didn't say anything in detail, so he only mentioned one sentence, saying that the things here might have something to do with Motuo, so preview it in advance, but I didn't expect it to be so dangerous." ”

The fat man put himself in his shoes and imagined that if his father or relatives played such a big game of chess to calculate himself, he would take the steps of six relatives who did not recognize him, and he would go up and throw two neat ears at the big face.

"I really admire you." The fat man patted Wu Xie on the shoulder seriously, "Little pitiful, it's really not easy to grow so big safely." ”

"It's actually good that you don't have a long mouth." Wu Xie handed him a dead fish eye.

After a short rest, the two of them put on their backpacks and continued walking.

This time they acted more cautiously, only this time there were no tree and vine stairs in front of them, but directly led to a dark cave, and the sound of gurgling water echoed in their ears, as if all the water flowing from the aerial root hole of the huge banyan tree had converged here.

The air was very humid, and there were traces of water winding down the stone walls.

An underground river five or six meters wide appeared in front of them, blocking their path.

The range illuminated by the flashlight was too small, and the fat man shot a signal flare, and the entire space instantly exploded.

Wu Xie covered his eyes in advance and waited for a few seconds, waiting for the blazing white light to dim a little, then he opened his eyes and looked around, and found that many iron chains hung from the mountain wall in front of them, all the way to the top of their heads, where there was a rope bridge more than a meter wide.

On either side of the mountain wall stood two rows of slender stone pillars, one man tall, with snake-scale patterns on them, and a round ball at the top of the column that looked like it could turn.

An iron chain protrudes from each ball, attached to the rope bridge above.

"Look there." Wu Xie stretched out his hand and pointed to the rope bridge above, "We have to find a way to lower the rope bridge to pass from above, the mechanism may be on these pillars on the side, let's look carefully." ”

The fat man just wanted to say why didn't he swim over directly since it was so troublesome, and it was only a few meters in total, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw many unknown objects wrapped in white membranes floating in the dark river, the shape was very irregular, some were in a clump, and some were strung up like sugar gourds, like insects with white flowers.

"How can there be so many dead drifters in this river?" After seeing that thing clearly, the fat man suddenly had a disgusting expression, "The rivers in this area won't all be connected, so wouldn't all the corpse water we drank for the past ten days and half a month." ”

Wu Xie couldn't help but feel a little sick to his stomach when he said this, but he still comforted the fat man and said: "It's not a big problem, the waters here are so wide, and the waterways extend in all directions, even if you pour a bottle of dichlorvos here, float along the current, dilute it in minutes, and the fish and shrimp in the river are fine." ”

If it's just a dead drift without a reaction, it's better to say, at most the diaphragm responds a little, and the live zongzi that the two have seen are all in the sea, and you can swim over smoothly by paying attention to avoiding it.

But it's clear that these drifters are more than just zongzi.

The contents of the drifts seemed to be alive, and some of the people near the shore could be seen that there were reddish-purple veins stirring in the thin, translucent membrane, much like the chicks in the eggs that were about to survive for a few days before they were about to break.

Wu Xie and the two glanced at each other, and immediately had a bad premonition.

"Hurry up, hurry up, you left and I right, hurry up."

The two of them immediately took action, tried to pull the chain hanging on the stone ball, and found that the rope bridge above had a reaction, so they immediately stood by the symmetrical stone pillar, holding the stone ball with both hands and turning it in a clockwise direction.

With the sound of chains clattering and dragging, the rope bridge slowly descended from above, Wu Xie took the time to glance at the river, and found that the undulations in the dead drift membranes were even greater, as if there were countless insects wriggling, and they would break the membrane and drill out of it at any time.

A layer of fine sweat oozed from the corner of Wu Xie's forehead, and finally he heard a squeak, the chain froze, and the rope bridge was still half a meter away from the river.

But the two couldn't wait, so they climbed and jumped on the rope bridge as if they were burning their butts, and ran over as fast as they could.

Some insects had already broken through their egg shells and crawled out of it and swam into the water, shooting like an arrow to the shore, looking like skinned crocodiles, covered in translucent slime, and immediately crawling up the riverbank.

Wu Xie and the fat man took a look at this situation, where did they dare to delay, and immediately ran to the depths of the cave behind.

Fortunately, the speed of this thing slowed down after it came ashore, and its crawling movements were very clumsy, crawling on each of its four legs, and Wu Xie and the others quickly escaped from the vicinity of the dark river.

Unfortunately, there is also a dark river in the cave behind, which winds deeper into the back, where there is a huge spoon-shaped lake, and there are many glowing algae floating in the lake, large swaths of tiled on the water, soft and slender tentacles swaying on the surface of the water, blue light glowing, as if the galaxy is sprinkled here, very dreamy and beautiful.

At the end of the handle of the spoon was a high platform made of stones, and they could see the bronze coffin on the bed of the raised coffin.

The strange thing is that the totem patterns on the coffin are all red, as if someone has been pouring blood on it for hundreds of years, so the color on it is so bright.

The fat man looked left and right, and the sapper shovel reached into the water to stir it, picked up a little algae and looked at it, thinking that it should be ordinary noctilucent algae, so he tentatively touched it with his fingers, and those tentacles instantly curled up into the shape of a bud like a mimosa.

"Naive, those drifters don't seem to have swam here yet, let's speed up and swim over as soon as possible." The fat man said.

Although noctilucent algae itself does not contain toxins, if the density is too high, it will clog the respiratory gills of nearby aquatic organisms and make them lack oxygen, which may be the reason why those insects do not dare to come here.

Wu Xie nodded, took off his shoes and tied them to his backpack, their backpack material was waterproof, and after entering the water, it was like a life jacket, and the two of them paddled hard, like a little elf fish swimming in the sea of stars in a faint blue light, and quickly swam to the edge of the high platform.

Patches of bugs had already chased after them, but they were only hovering on the shore because of the blue lake.

"Naive, there seems to be something under the water." The fat man climbed the steps and took a breath.

Wu Xie opened the blue algae in front of him and found that there was a stone door under the high platform, which was a double-layered hidden tomb, which meant that there was still a layer of space below where the coffin could be placed.

"Innocent, do you think the Gu King will be in which coffin." The fat man asked.

Wu Xie groaned for a moment, "I'm not sure, let's open it and take a look." ”

The pattern of the tombs here is too chaotic, it seems that many elements are just piled up here at random, and there is no fresco that most clearly reflects the situation here, and all the tomb logic he knew before does not apply here.

Wu Xie took out the tool and was just about to get started when the fat man stopped him, "Wait a while, wait for the fat master to take a precautionary measure first." ”

The fat man turned around and rummaged through the backpacks of the two, and Wu Xie asked him what he was looking for.

"Find candles." The fat man said, "Your physique is too evil, Xiao Zhang and Lao Zhang are not on the side, no one will give us two a back, the fat man is a little flustered, or first according to the method of our northern faction to touch gold, people light candles, ghosts blow out the lamp, chickens and candles do not touch gold, I have to light it first." ”

Wu Xie thought about it and felt that what the fat man said was very reasonable, but the problem was that they didn't seem to bring candles with them this time.

The fat man really didn't turn over the candle, and patted his thigh in annoyance, "I made a mistake, I'm used to fighting with my empty paws for a long time, and I forgot such an important thing, and the donkey's hooves didn't bring it." ”

"What if there are no candles?" Wu Xie asked, "Is it okay to light a cigarette?" ”

"The flame of smoke is too small, let's use a flashlight." The fat man took out the hand-cranked generator in his bag and began to charge the two flashlights.

"I watched in the movie, and every time those weird things appeared, the light bulbs in the house would keep flashing, and it should work."

Wu Xie didn't quite understand the principle of the Northern Sect's operation, but at the moment, a dead horse was a live horse doctor, and it was good to be able to ask for comfort.

So the two of them took turns clicking and shaking, and the insects on the other side of the lake kept drooling in their direction, staring at them.

An hour later, the two flashlights were full of electricity, and the fat man held one of them in two canned boxes and stood in the southeast corner of the high platform, lit three incense sticks on the side, and pulled Wu Xie to worship the coffin with him.

The fat man clasped his hands together and held the gold talisman hanging around his neck, and said something in his mouth.

Wu Xie leaned his ear to listen, and found that he was talking about "The old ancestor in the coffin is not strange, the younger generation is old and young, and life is still passable, it is helpless to come here today to disturb your sleep, this young face on the side is a junior brother, the two of us are here for another brother, what is it, brother has something, when the two ribs stick a knife tirelessly, I also hope that the predecessors Haihan, a lot of tolerance, anxious as a law, piu piu crush you a big zongzi ghost......"

Wu Xie: "......"

"You have so much nonsense, is it useful?" He felt more and more that the fat man's idea was unreliable.

The fat man said ambiguously: "Yes, maybe it might be useful, but it really doesn't work, let's stop it with a stumbling ghost." ”

Wu Xie was speechless and choked, I really believed in your evil.

It's a blessing or a curse, we'll do it!

The lid of the bronze coffin was not ordinarily heavy, and the fat and evil two even pushed it with a prying belt, and it took a long time to open it.

But what was lying inside was not the two-headed and four-armed Gu King they thought, but a normal male corpse soaked in light brown water.

The corpse was wearing a navy blue gown, his hair was very long, and it hung down to his waist, and his face in the water was so handsome and lifelike that if he hadn't been breathing, he would have thought he was just asleep here.

It can be clearly seen under the long coat that the lower half of his body is not a python.

Wu Xie and the two looked at each other, and the fat man spoke: "Mistaken, this person seems to be an outsider." ”

The half-hanging unicorn blood stumbling ghost rope that the fat man insisted on getting didn't come to use, and the white-blind Wu Xiegang squeezed the wound again.

"It's weird, this place is not a treasure of feng shui, this person is young, why is he buried here?" The fat man rubbed the stubble on his chin, "Or is the Gu King mutated again?" ”

Wu Xie shook his head, "No, this is indeed a person, and it may still be a member of the Zhang family." ”

As he spoke, he put on his gloves, put his hand into the coffin, and took the left arm of the corpse for the fat man to see, "His hand has been taken away." ”

The fat man was shocked for a moment, and guessed: "This person is also left-handed, and he still has long hair, could it be Grandpa Yu!" ”

Who is the Zhang family who pretended to be Luo Wenbing before? Could it be some of Muyu's uncles? No, no, the appearance of the Zhang family is extremely deceptive, and it doesn't seem to count at all at a glance, and the ghost knows how old he is.

"Hair and nail growth doesn't stop after death, and hair may grow later."

Wu Xie said, "The style of the clothes on this person is from the Republic of China, and the material is Hangluo in the satin weaving clothes that were more popular at that time, that is to say, this Zhang family was buried here during the Republic of China." ”

"This bronze coffin originally contained the original Gu King, and the person who buried him took away his hand with the long finger mark."

The fat man snapped his fingers and began to calculate, "This person died in the Republic of China, but not necessarily from the Republic of China, the Zhang family has a long life, and his face is basically fixed when he becomes an adult, and the possibility that he is from the Qing Dynasty cannot be ruled out." ”

"Let's look for anything on him that proves his identity." Wu Xie Dao.

Because this person was from the Zhang family, the two didn't think about scooping out the embalming water in the coffin to see the inscription on the coffin wall.

It took a lot of effort for people to maintain it so perfectly, and if it was destroyed, it would be a lack of morality.

Thank you for the reward from the big guy, compare the heart
