Chapter 54: The Coffin
The end of what the stone walls told on all sides turned out to be at the foot of the feet, and the man who raised the sword to the sky was buried here.
Xiang Yu looked at the last stone wall in surprise, connecting this story, which is probably about a person being born and then practicing in a magical place, and then he cultivated to a great achievement, and then went to challenge some monsters, and then he failed, and his soul became the same thing as those monsters, and finally he was buried here.
Buried here, Xiang Yu moved his mind and put the induction force into the ground, and sure enough, in the center of here, there are three zhang down, and there is an iron coffin that is one zhang long and half a zhang wide and half a zhang high, and Xiang Yu's induction force can't penetrate it!
The material of this iron coffin is the same material as the small iron box picked up by the pawnshop owner!
Xiang Yu gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and took out a large knife from the innate bag. Since you are here, you can't go home empty-handed, and there must be something good in this coffin. If you want to open the coffin, you have to dig it out first.
Although the big knife is not as good as digging the ground with a hoe, it is the same in the hands of the practitioner, and when he it into the ground and flips his wrist, a large piece of soil is picked out.
It only took a moment of incense to dig into the iron coffin, and he reached out and grabbed the corner of the coffin, wanting to open the coffin lid, but the coffin lid was too tight and seemed to be too heavy, and it didn't move at all.
In desperation, Xiang Yu had no choice but to continue digging, and did not stop until he cleaned up a circle around the coffin that was half a zhang wide.
Now you can take a good look at it, this iron coffin is cast in one piece except for the other parts of the coffin lid, and the material is special black iron, which is an unknown material that the cultivator's induction cannot penetrate, but Xiang Yu has always thought that it is iron.
There are some paintings carved on the coffin, but these paintings are much more delicate than those on the stone walls. But although this painting is exquisite, it is like a ghost drawing, and I can't understand what it is painted at all.
Maybe it's a decorative painting. Xiang Yu couldn't understand these paintings, so he had to give up, he rubbed his hands and prepared to open the coffin!
Since you have to deal with unknown dangers when you want to open the coffin, gather spiritual energy as a shield to protect your body, and at the same time gather your legs, ready to jump out of this pit at any time.
After making this series of preparations, Xiang Yu took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, grabbed the coffin lid with both hands, and lifted it upwards violently.
However, the lid of the coffin was still not moving, not a single crack appeared, and Xiang Yu did not believe in evil again, again, and again. He felt his arms grow a little sore, but the lid didn't move.
"Could it be that this coffin lid is also directly cast, why is it so strong!"
"Could it be that you are going to go home empty-handed today?"
Just when Xiang Yu was at a loss, he suddenly felt movement in the innate bag in his arms, and then an illusory figure floated out of the innate bag.
"Stupid, don't even think about opening this coffin lid even if you exert ten times more strength!"
Xiang Yu rolled his eyes, looked at the figure and said weakly: "You old ghost, what are you running out to do now, help open the coffin?"
It was the heavenly ghost who came out, and he floated above the coffin, not looking at Xiangyu, but just observing the coffin carefully. "I'm a little bored, and I feel that this thing is valuable, so come out and have a look!"
"Oh, so how do you open this?"
"According to my judgment, this is the ancient iron, which is the best material for sealing all kinds of things, and the painting on this coffin should be a sealing rune, if you don't break this rune, unless you cultivate to the person who applied the seal at the time of the high place, you will not be able to open the lid of this coffin no matter what!" said the Heavenly Ghost after observing for a while.
Xiang Yu frowned, scratched his head and said, "It's so troublesome, isn't it just a coffin!"
The heavenly ghost snorted, and said sarcastically: "Boy, you are still young, learn more in the future, you also saw the stone mural just now, do you see something?"
Judging from the stone murals, there is definitely a big figure in this coffin, at least tens of thousands of years ago. Xiang Yu raised his eyebrows, smiled slightly, and continued: "You have lived for so many years, do you know who this is?"
The heavenly ghost was choked by Xiang Yu, he had lived for many years, but it didn't reach the point where he knew everything, even if it was an earth-shattering big man, it was at least tens of thousands of years ago, how could he know!
"Don't talk nonsense, we have to find a way to open the coffin!"
"Your cultivation is so high, will you give it a try?"
The Heavenly Ghost shook his head and said, "I'm still staying in the Soul Creation Realm now, and I'm afraid that the person who set up the seal will be far superior in cultivation to me, and I won't be able to open it!"
"You can't open it, what are we still talking about here, just like this, let's put this coffin in the innate bag, and we will open the coffin again in the future!" Xiang Yu thought about it and came up with an idea.
The Heavenly Ghost pursed his lips and said, "Do you really dare to think that what if that person here comes back to life and finds that you are running around with him and is unhappy?"
"Poof!" Xiang Yu sneered, and continued: "I think you really dare to think that this person has been put into a coffin and can come back to life." Oh, even if he was still alive at the time, he would have died for tens of thousands of years!"
The heavenly ghost smiled strangely, leaned close to the lid of the coffin, and said, "That's not necessarily!"
Heavenly Ghost's actions made Xiang Yu very puzzled, he pouted and said, "What are you doing?"
"Don't shout, I'm looking to see if there's a way to break this rune!" said the Celestial Ghost with a wave of his hand.
"Oh, then I'll take a look too!" With that, Xiang Yu also approached the coffin and carefully looked at the ghost drawing on the coffin lid. He couldn't tell what it was, so he reached out and touched the lines. I felt the sensation in my hand and thought about what was special. "Why is this engraving a little deep?"
"What did you find?" asked, turning his head.
Xiang Yu shook his head and said, "It's not a discovery, it's just that these places are carved a little deep." As he spoke, he felt that something was wrong, and then he looked carefully at the painting on the lid of the coffin, and muttered: "One, two, three...... Four or five ...... Six, seven, eight, ninth, such a coincidence!"
Seeing what he was muttering, the heavenly ghost leaned over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Look here, here, and here, and here, and here, is it deeper and wider than the other places?"
"Well, there is a little bit of that, so what, it's all the intersection of lines, and there's nothing wrong with carving deeper!"
"No, there are nine such places in this large painting, could it be a coincidence?" As he spoke, several keys appeared in Xiang Yu's hand!
Seeing these keys, the heavenly ghost also began to look closely at the places that Xiang Yu said.
"Hey, no matter, let's give it a try. As he spoke, Xiang Yu picked out the key in his hand and wanted to put it in the closest place. "Hey, why can't you put it in?"
"It seems like it's really a coincidence!" said the Celestial Ghost with a shake of his head.
Xiang Yu rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "What are you anxious about, don't you have nine keys, all of which are different in size!"
One, two, three,............ , eight, and the last one remains. Xiang Yu was also uncertain now, and the heavenly ghost on the side looked at him quietly, and there was a trace of nervousness on his face.
Although the ghost was unforgiving, and he didn't give Xiang Yu a good face after he came out, he still hoped that this method would be effective.
This person and ghost all looked nervously at the last key, praying that there would be a turnaround. I bought Xiang Yu and put the key lightly there, and before he could let go, he felt a suction force that sucked the key away.
"Smack!" A crisp sound of metal contact came out, and Xiang Yu and the Heavenly Ghost hurriedly fixed their eyes. I was surprised to find that the key was tightly attached to the deep notch.
The last key turned out to be in place by itself, Xiang Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly tested the remaining keys in the other eight places one by one, as expected, nine keys correspond to nine nicks.
However, the nine keys were all in place, and there was still no movement in the coffin lid, Xiang Yu turned his head in wonder and asked, "What's the matter, isn't it useless?"
The Heavenly Ghost rubbed it, was silent for a while, and said, "I think the key alone is probably not enough!"
"Not enough, what else is needed?"
"Well, I've heard that blood is required to break this seal, so ............"
Hearing this, Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What, you mean that you still have my blood?"
"Nonsense, it's just you and me, who will come out if you don't bleed, and besides, I can't get out if I want to!"
"You...... , okay, okay, I'm out!" Xiang Yu gritted his teeth and glared at the heavenly ghost hatefully, and then scratched his palm, and the red blood immediately flowed out, dripping on the talisman on the lid of the coffin.
"Almost, right?" Ever since the Guo family's dungeon escape incident and the sinister and cunning Xiao Shan tricked him into letting out so much blood, Xiang Yu has been more resistant to using blood to accomplish certain things.
The heavenly ghost glared at him and said, "What's the hurry, it's only a few drops!"
......
The coffin lid finally reacted, and the blood gradually covered the lines of those runes, and in the eager eyes of Xiang Yu and the heavenly ghosts, those lines emitted a faint red light, and the nine keys floated into the air at this time, forming a circle, connected with the red light of those runes on the coffin lid, but they rotated extremely fast.
Gradually, the nine keys turned faster and faster, so fast that Xiang Yu's eyes couldn't see clearly, and he could only see a red shadow in midair.
The red light on the coffin lid gradually increased, becoming a little dazzling, Xiang Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, quickly sealed the wound on his hand, and then quietly waited for the coffin lid to open.
Finally, the rotation speed of the nine keys in mid-air slowed down, and the red light on the coffin lid gradually dissipated, and Xiang Yu looked at it with some surprise, and was a little surprised to find that the runes on the coffin lid had disappeared. And the original nine keys have also changed, and they have become one big key!
The heavenly ghost on the side smacked his lips, grabbed the big key, and said, "It's not simple, what's the use of combining it like this?"
Xiang Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it, put it away first, let's open the coffin quickly!" After that, he reached out and grabbed the lid of the coffin, and with all his strength, he slammed it upward.
Xiang Yu estimated that as soon as the seal was broken, he would be able to uncover the coffin lid, but he didn't expect it to be so easy, because of his full strength, the coffin lid was actually lifted out by him.
"Those few strokes of runes are so useful, it's okay to really study them. As he spoke, Xiang Yu poked his head above the coffin, and the heavenly ghost also approached the coffin to see if this big man was now rotten and only a skeleton remained, or his face remained unchanged!
