Chapter 629: The Thrill of the Tomb of Marquis Wu
This snake is not large, but it is colorful all over, and it is poisonous at first glance.
I subconsciously raised my hand and wanted to shoot it off, but Zhao Xiaohui hurriedly reminded: "Don't move!"
"Why?" Hearing this, I stiffened and remained motionless, and watched as the snake crawled along my shoulder, its flat, triangular head slowly lifted up, spitting out a slender letter of fire. Suddenly... The snake slowly opened its mouth, and the lips were like that of a toothless old lady, and as the mouth opened wider and wider, a few tiny fangs were slowly revealed, as sharp as needles!
Suddenly......
At the moment when it stretched straight towards my neck, Zhao Xiaohui pinched the snake's head accurately, and rolled the snake's tail directly on his arm.
"Aren't you afraid it will bite you?" I shuddered in horror.
"Afraid?" Zhao Xiaohui scoffed: "You forgot....I still say that the beetle snake is driven, does it dare to bite me?"
"Me," I said, "but what are you doing with it?" It's better to just pinch it to death..."
"The snake has a strong sense of grudge." Zhao Xiaohui explained: "If you can't kill it, then it will definitely follow you and find an opportunity to retaliate in secret. If you beat it to death, then I don't know, how many of these things will be attracted ... Besides, keep it, and you'll definitely use it later."
"What good can it be?" I was puzzled and asked, "Is there anything different about this snake?"
Zhao Xiaohui couldn't say what kind of breed it was, but he was sure: "This snake lives in this kind of place all year round, and it is mutated by corpse qi and environmental influences. All things are mutually reinforcing, and this thing is entrenched here, maybe it can restrain the zombies inside."
"Can a snake defeat a zombie?" I don't believe it if I die!
But she smiled and said rigorously, "The snake is an oolong, which can scare zombies without opening their minds."
I was convinced... Along the way, the snake's head continued to peek out from the cracks in the stone wherever the lantern shone, and the sound of "hissing" in my ears was even more terrifying through the narrow walls.
I don't know how long I walked, but the "hissing" sound in my ears finally stopped.
We also walked from a narrow passage to a prescription pit... The sound of water "ticking" on the stone walls of the mountains.
The humid air smells of rotting flesh.
I held up the paper lantern and lit it up overhead, and I was shocked to see that it was full of hanging coffins...
"Don't touch the coffin." Zhao Xiaohui reminded: "Pay attention, those hanging coffins are hung with cowhide bands."
I trembled, "What do you mean?"
"Many years ago, the hanging coffin used a cowhide band." Zhao Xiaohui elaborated: "The materials in ancient times are not like now, the people who will hang the coffin with cowhide bands, the material of cowhide bands, let time passes, as the material dries, it can more firmly bolt the coffin....The corpse hanging on it will also be like air-dried bacon, which will not rot for a long time! But the biggest taboo of such a hanging coffin is that when the coffin falls to the ground, it is easy to wake up."
"Of course I know, but," I whispered, pointing to the hanging coffin next to me, "why is that coffin held in place with wire?"
Zhao Xiaohui looked in the direction I was pointing: "It's really iron, but it's a hanging coffin, even if it's an ordinary burial coffin, isn't it the most taboo for iron?"
"I see," I stepped forward with the lantern to take a closer look, "This wire is brand new....judging from the twist marks on it, it was only recently connected, and there are broken cow tendons on the side, I can't keep it in order, this is the night the tomb robbers came, and they inadvertently broke the cowhide bands, causing the hanging coffin to fall to the ground..."
As soon as the words fell, I heard the coffin, and suddenly there was a "knock" sound. The voice came unexpectedly, echoing through the two walls, making people feel even more frightened.
"Wake up," Zhao Xiaohui's calm tone turned to urging, "Hurry up!"
She grabbed my hand and said as she went, "This must be the same as your boy said, the grave robber who accidentally broke the cowhide band of the hanging coffin. After many years of tomb robbing, he should also know that the hanging coffin will inevitably cause a corpse mutiny. That's why it was temporarily fixed with wire, after all, the coffin was iron, and the corpse would not be changed on the spot.
」
As we spoke, we had already passed through the square pit, and there was another passage in front of us.
I rushed along the passage, but I didn't go far....I came to a three-way intersection.
Just as I was looking left and right, wondering where to go.
Huang Shiyin's thoughts came in time: "I'll let the paper crane show you the way."
In an instant, the Chenzhou paper crane in his hand, the special smooth paper surface sliding, the paper crane fluttered its wings, and the ghostly green light appeared, like a firefly, extremely dazzling in the dark.
But the speed of the paper crane is far faster than that of fireflies, and it flutters its wings rapidly... Keep up!" Zhao Xiaohui caught up with the paper crane lightly and turned straight to the passage on the right.
I followed closely behind, running all the way....but there were more and more forks in the road. As we delved deeper, the oxygen became thinner, and the disgusting rancid smell became more intense.
"Take a break!" I couldn't run, I couldn't breathe, I couldn't breathe at all under the vigorous running. But the paper crane did not stop at all, and when it turned to the left at the next fork, the paper crane suddenly disappeared.
Fortunately, Zhao Xiaohui stopped and turned around: "Are you okay, Jiang Cheng?"
"It's hard to put into words," I waved my hand and rested with my back against the cave wall.
But the moment my body toppled over, I only felt that I was leaning against the iron wall behind me, and there was a "bang", which didn't feel like the softness of the mud wall at all.
But at that moment, I didn't have time to think about it... Until the ear, there was a faint sound of heavy gasps.
"Jiang Cheng, be careful..." Zhao Xiaohui pointed behind me and shouted.
I looked sideways and lifted the lantern, only to see a man's head resting on my shoulder... The long, messy hair, muddy, looked like it hadn't been washed in hundreds of years.
He's uh, ahhhh Just looking at each other, I felt that my soul was already scared away!
