Chapter 55: Opening the Coffin
The mysterious coffin was opened, and both Xiang Yu and the Heavenly Ghost poked their heads to look at it, and both of them were taken aback by this view.
There were no bones in this coffin, and there was no corpse with the same face, only a dry arm, and there was almost no flesh on the arm, only a layer of skin was left, and it looked a little oozing.
"What's going on?" Xiang Yu was a little confused, and looked at the heavenly ghost with doubts in his eyes.
And the heavenly ghost didn't know what was going on at this time, he carefully looked at the contents of the coffin, looked at Xiang Yu, and said, "What do you see me doing, I don't know!"
"Those murals clearly depicted this person in a coffin and buried here, why is there only one arm left in here now?"
Hearing this, the Heavenly Ghost pondered for a moment and said, "According to my guess, there is nothing wrong with the mural, then there is a possibility that the people who buried this person at that time buried him separately, and they built several small temples that are exactly the same as this one. β
Xiang Yu frowned, still puzzled and asked, "Why did you go to such great lengths to separate this person's body?"
"I don't know this, how many thousands of years have passed, who knows what happened at that time!"
"Then what should we do now, look at it like this, there is nothing good in this coffin, and after spending so much effort, will we go home empty-handed?"
The heavenly ghost smiled slightly, pointed to the coffin, and said, "That's not necessarily!"
Xiang Yu followed the direction of the heavenly ghost's finger and stared at it, and on the hand of that arm, there was a jade ring on his thumb. Seeing this, Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said slightly angrily: "Pick up things from dead people, you can also say this!"
The heavenly ghost was stunned when he heard this, and then after reacting, he scolded with some tears and laughter: "Idiot, who let you see the things in your hands, I let you see the things engraved on the bottom of the coffin." And didn't you open the coffin just for the things inside, you also said that!!"
The last sentence was deliberately said by the Heavenly Ghost a little heavy, which made Xiang Yu's face a little unbearable, and at first he used this sentence to talk about the Heavenly Ghost, and now the Heavenly Ghost is almost unchanged and returned, making his face slightly red in an instant. But he immediately thought that what the heavenly ghost said was right, he was here for the things in this coffin, so what else to twist!
He reached out and took the ring from the arm in the coffin, and said with a normal face: "You're right, we're just looking for a baby, and we can't let go of anything that looks valuable here!"
Seeing these days, the ghost pouted, but did not object. "Alright, let you see the bottom of the coffin, look!"
Xiang Yu nodded, leaned over and took a closer look, there were some paintings at the bottom of the coffin, but these paintings were not the same style as those on the stone wall and the coffin lid.
The tip of the index finger of the arm is only the size of a palm, and the whole painting is dark red, and it is particularly delicate, as if it took a long, long time to complete.
In total, there are only palm-sized paintings, and there is not much content on the paintings, just a simple dozen strokes, but these dozen strokes make people unable to see any eyebrows. The paintings on the stone walls are purely memorable, and normal people can understand them. And the seal rune on the lid of the coffin, without any experience, I can't see what it is, but fortunately, the heavenly ghost still knows. As for the palm-sized painting at the bottom of the coffin at the end, it may have to be the person who painted it to know what it is.
And the more incomprehensible this kind of painting, the more secrets there are. If you understand it, the benefits are not small.
Xiang Yu stared at the palm-sized painting, frowned, and said, "Old ghost, why do I think this seems to be incomplete, just a part!"
"What?"
"It's the painting, it seems to have been split from a single piece!"
Hearing this, the heavenly ghost was also stunned, and then looked at the painting carefully. "Oh, it seems like there's a little bit of it, but what I feel is a strange flow of energy in the traces of those strokes, I wonder if you feel it?"
"The strange flow of energy, I can't feel it at all!" Xiang Yu frowned and took a closer look at the painting.
"I guess it's because my cultivation is higher than yours!"
"So what now, don't let go of this kind of mysterious thing, should we get this out?"
The Heavenly Ghost rolled his eyes and said, "Get it out? How do you get it?" You teach me!"
Xiang Yu scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said, "Isn't your cultivation quite high, you can't help this?"
"This is a piece of iron, specialized in sealing all kinds of things, not just inductive power. Another characteristic is that after it is cast and formed by mines, it is almost indestructible, and it is impossible to damage it in the slightest without the realm of Dahuatian!"
Hearing this, Xiang Yu couldn't help frowning, he spent so much effort to almost be killed by that illusion in front of the stone statue, and now he entered here, shed so much blood, and finally got a ring!
"Then what should I do now? After spending so much effort, I feel a little unwilling to go back empty-handed!"
The heavenly ghost waved his hand and said: "What is unwilling, you will be lucky to come across such a place, and pick up a ring, be content." I think how many times I went around looking for treasures, and I came back empty-handed, and I was injured!"
Xiang Yu raised his eyebrows, gritted his teeth and said, "No, I have to give it a try!"
The heavenly ghost shook his head, a little wondering what kind of madness this kid is, it's nothing, how can he die hard!But he didn't think much about it, patted Xiang Yu's shoulder and said, "You just try, don't kill yourself." I'll withdraw first!"
Xiang Yu packed the innate bag, looked up, looked around, looked at the painting at the bottom of the coffin, gritted his teeth, stretched out his right hand to gather aura at his fingertips, and the purple-black aura turned into a black blade like ink.
Fiercely stabbed the aura blade into the edge of the painting, only to hear the sound of swords intersecting, his face turned pale and was shocked, and he slammed the earthen wall behind him into a human-shaped groove!
"No, what kind of iron is so strong!" Xiang Yu broke free from the wall and shook his numb right arm and muttered to himself.
"I've told you kid a long time ago, I can't even get it down, what are you bothering about here, leave quickly, go back and practice hard!"
The voice of the heavenly ghost came from the innate bag.
Hearing this, Xiang Yu gritted his teeth and said, "What are you talking about, old ghost, what should you do!"
"If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you! Then I won't care about you, don't look for me if you have anything!"
After saying this, the heavenly ghost fell silent and did not make the slightest sound.
Xiang Yu sighed, looked at the coffin, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he felt. Originally, he came to find treasures, but he became a tomb robber, digging graves, opening coffins, and even picking up things from dead people, what is this called!
He stretched out his hand again and touched the painting! The heavenly ghost said, there is a strange energy in these few strokes, which means that this painting must not be simple, and according to what Su Qian said at the time, it is something that must not be let go. Now he is seventy percent sure that this thing is a treasure and may be of great use, so he is determined to get this down, although no one here knows except the pawnshop owner!
This time, Xiang Yu didn't gather aura in his hands, and the lesson just now made him temporarily discourage the use of strong means. So he plans to study it first, since this is a good thing, it must be for people, then there must be a way to get it down.
When his fingertips touched the painting, he felt a surge of energy pass from his fingertips to his body.
"Wow!" a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
This time it turned out to be even worse than the last time, obviously, the energy contained in these few strokes is amazing!
This time it was too sudden, and when Xiang Yu reacted and wanted to withdraw his hand, he found that his hand couldn't move! To be exact, to flock to that painting!
"Fuck, what's going on?" Xiang Yu scolded secretly, trying hard to remove his hand. But now it doesn't seem to be his hand, and it's not under his control at all.
Gradually, he felt that his consciousness was a little blurred, and this painting not only absorbed his aura, but also seemed to squeeze his vitality!
"Old ghost, hurry up and save the driver!" said this weakly, and Xiang Yu completely lost consciousness.
And at this time, the heavenly ghost in the mirror in the innate bag was also very anxious, just after Xiang Yu was fixed, it didn't take long for him to find out, and he felt that he was out of shape and didn't want to care about the words just now, so he was ready to go out to save people, but as soon as he had this thought, he found that he couldn't get out of the mirror, and he was trapped inside.
That mirror, the heavenly ghost comes and goes freely, and just when he decided not to wander outside and cultivate in it, Xiang Yu also gave him the control of the original innate bag, so that he could ensure that if the innate bag was lost, the heavenly ghost would take it to find Xiang Yu. The second is to facilitate the heavenly ghosts to come out to save people at the most dangerous moment.
But now the heavenly ghosts are very shocked, and it can be said that they are frightened. It's terrifying, what kind of power can actually seal this mirror through the innate bag, what realm does it have to be to do it!
He was in a hurry here, so he could only watch Xiang Yu fall outside, lying on the coffin, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
"This idiot, tell sΓΉ don't mess around, you just don't listen, it's good, we have to explain it here!"
The heavenly ghost scolded while observing the outside to see if there was any turnaround, but the more he looked at it, the more cold his heart became. Because he saw that Xiang Yu's hair was slowly turning snow-white, and his skin was getting more and more wrinkled. In such a short period of time, he is as old as a centenarian!
"It's over, it's over, if he dies, won't it be my turn!, this little ancestor, you're playing big this time!"
Xiang Yu can't hear the chatter of the heavenly ghost now, he doesn't know what he looks like now, he can't feel anything anymore!
It seemed as if 10,000 years had passed, and he had regained a trace of consciousness, he didn't know where he was, and he couldn't see his body, as if he only had a pair of eyes.
He saw a young man, a very handsome young man, who was practicing alone, very fast. He saw that the young man's cultivation was growing every moment, an hour ago he was still a heavy heaven in the Fusion Realm, an hour later he actually reached the Sixth Heaven, another hour later he actually reached the Soul Creation Realm, and another hour later he rose to the Triple Heaven. It only took one day for this young man to reach the pinnacle of the Heavenly Transformation Realm.
Xiang Yu was very strange, he himself was a cultivator of the Fusion Realm, and normally he could only see people with a lower cultivation than him, but when he looked at this young man now, he knew what kind of cultivation it was at a glance!
Is this a dream?
The next boy surprised Xiang Yu even more, after the peak of the Heavenly Transformation Realm, this young man was still practicing, but this time he couldn't tell the time, and Xiang Yu just felt that the young man's cultivation was still rising, but he couldn't see it!
One day, the boy stopped practicing, and Xiang Yu found that the boy was actually looking at himself, and he grinned and smiled!
