Chapter 183 [Cave Under the Coffin] (I)
Zhuo Yishou said: "It is thousands of miles away from Pale Mountain to here, and I am also doing this to prevent accidents. ”
"What accident?" Ma Yongping took out his pistol, pointed the muzzle at Zhuo Yishou's forehead, he had lost trust in Zhuo Yishou, and this time he had to force him to tell the truth no matter what means he used.
Zhuo Yishou said: "I didn't lie to you, it was just the remains of a girl inside." ”
Ma Yongping laughed and said, "I'm afraid that there are gold and silver treasures hidden inside, right? You use this method to transfer wealth, thinking that others will not be interested in a coffin, and want to hide it from the world, right?"
Zhuo looked at Ma Yongping coldly, and said in a deep voice: "I thought that the general was the overlord of the party, and he should be trustworthy, I have already done what I promised you, and the general should fulfill his original promise." ”
Ma Yongping said angrily: "Bastard, you promised to help me catch those two people, but they had already received the news in advance and had insight into my plan, and they escaped!"
Zhuo Yishou's heart sank, everything really developed in the worst direction, he still overestimated Ma Yongping's ability after all, although Ma Yongping controlled the military power of the Xinman Battalion, but his wisdom and ability were still not enough to deal with either Luo Lie and Wu Jie. If Luo Lie and Wu Jie escaped, it would not be difficult for them to find out the flaws in this matter with their minds, and maybe they would have found out that they had betrayed them. Now he doesn't care about where things will go, and the most important thing at the moment is to get the coffin back.
Ma Yongping saw Zhuo Yishou silent, thinking that he was frightened by his momentum, and said coldly: "When death is coming, you still refuse to speak, do you think I really dare not kill you?"
Zhuo looked at Ma Yongping calmly and said, "I didn't lie to you, it's just a girl's corpse." ”
Where is Ma Yongping willing to believe, he waved his hand, and immediately a subordinate surrounded him, he was prepared, the group of subordinates surrounded the coffin, unceremoniously tore off the talisman paper that sealed the coffin lid, and everyone worked together to pry the coffin lid open.
Zhuo Yishou roared angrily, "Stop!" but his words had no effect. In his opinion, the behavior of these soldiers was clearly a blasphemy against Princess Longyu.
Ma Yongping and his group of subordinates recognized that there were gold and silver treasures hidden in the coffin, which is why Zhuo Yishou was so nervous.
After the lid of the coffin was pried open, several subordinates looked into it, Ma Yongping's group of henchmen were all veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time, they were used to seeing bloodshed and death, and of course they would not be afraid of a corpse that had been dead for many years.
Several soldiers who opened the coffin turned to look at Ma Yongping in unison, their faces full of stunned expressions. Ma Yongping was also stunned when he saw their expressions, could it be said that they had seen an inexplicable scene? He strode towards the coffin, his eyes on it, but he saw that the coffin was empty, and there was no female corpse? What made Ma Yongping feel even more terrified was that a big hole appeared in the bottom cover of the coffin, and this hole did not know where it leads, and the body in the coffin would not disappear out of thin air, but should have been stolen through this hole.
Zhuo Yishou saw the reaction of several people, and also felt bad, he pushed away the muzzle of the gun pointed at him, but was caught by several soldiers, Ma Yongping stopped the soldiers, told them to dodge the road, and let Zhuo Yi come over.
Zhuo Yi came to the coffin, and when he saw the scene inside, the whole person stayed there like a clay sculpture.
Ma Yongping pointed the muzzle of his gun at Zhuo Yi's head again, and roared angrily: "Did you steal the treasure in the coffin?
Zhuo Yishou muttered, "It's broken, it's broken...... The world is destined to be doomed......" he looked up, his eyes full of fear.
At this time, the dark clouds in the sky rushed over like a frenzy, and for a short time they blocked the daylight, and the sun was shining just now, but at this time it was as if it had suddenly entered the night. Ma Yongping and these soldiers have not seen bad weather, but they have never seen such a sharp change in a short period of time.
One soldier said, "It's going to rain!" As soon as he finished speaking, a purple bolt of lightning twisted and twisted and tore through the black sky, and then spread all the way down, heading straight for the soldier's Celestial Spirit Cover and shooting down.
Before everyone could react, they smelled a scorching smell, and seeing the soldier turn into charcoal in front of them, they hurriedly retreated one by one, and no one even cared about Zhuo Shoushou on the side.
They had only heard of such a thing as thunder in the past, but today was the first time they had seen it with their own eyes.
Although Ma Yongping did not believe in ghosts and gods, he had to admit that he was a little evil at this time, and looked up at the sky, instead of dispersing, the dark clouds in the sky gathered overhead, swirling and coiling, forming a huge black vortex, and countless purple electric lights jumped between the clouds like a spiritual snake.
Some soldiers had already begun to retreat, whispering that Ma Yongping leave this ominous place as soon as possible.
Ma Yongping glanced at the coffin a little unwillingly, he took the lead in retreating under the eaves, at this time someone found that Zhuo Yishou was missing, but just now when the lightning struck the soldier, Zhuo Yishou took advantage of their attention not focused on his body, and quietly fled.
Because what had just happened was so shocking that his escape was not hindered in any way.
Ma Yongping was furious, and sent a group of men and horses to pursue Zhuo Yishou, at this time it began to rain in the sky, perhaps because of the rain, the color of the dark clouds was much lighter than just now, if it was dark just now, the sky was now more like dusk.
Ma Yongping looked at the charred and curled up corpses, and secretly explained in his heart, maybe everything was just a coincidence, it happened to rain, and lightning happened to hit the soldier, how can there be any ghosts and gods in this world? At least he has never seen it with his own eyes, even if there are ghosts, there are so many of them, and they are loaded with guns, they can also kill ghosts.
Ma Yongping believed that someone was pretending to be a ghost, no matter what was in the coffin, the contents had been stolen, and the hole at the bottom of the coffin could prove it, so he decided to overcome the fear in his heart, find out as soon as possible, and ordered his subordinates to remove the coffin to see where the hole leads.
His subordinates were very resistant to Ma Yongping's order, but the military order was like a mountain, and they knew Ma Yongping's temperament very well, and the end result of disobeying the order was only a dead word, and the person who received the order could only walk over hard, braving the rain that was not too heavy, and removed the coffin.
The coffin was removed, and the hole in the ground was exposed, the hole was not large, barely enough to accommodate a person to enter, and it was the kind with a thin body.
None of the soldiers wanted to approach the cave, and in the end, it was decided by lot, and the unlucky man who was drawn could only approach the entrance of the cave in fear, raising a flashlight to shine into it, and finding nothing terrible in the range of his eyes.
Ma Yongping secretly cursed the rice bucket and ordered him to go into the cave to have a look, at least to see how deep the cave was and where it leads? Although the unlucky soldier accepted the order, he had already quietly greeted Ma Yongping's eighteenth generation ancestor in his heart. Someone found a rope tied to his waist, just in case, if he encountered any trouble in the hole, he would call for help, and then the people outside would work together to drag him out of the hole as soon as possible.
The soldier wrapped himself tightly and dared to burrow into the ground, and it was not long before he heard a voice from within: "it, it, there's nothing, there's nothing! Drag me up, drag me up!"
The person who put the rope told Ma Yongping that the rope was only three meters away, and Ma Yongping was suspicious and said loudly: "You can see clearly, is there anything in it?"
"No ......" Before the words fell, the rope suddenly tightened, and then desperately pulled inside, and several soldiers outside suddenly panicked, one by one hurriedly grabbed the rope, and dragged it outward, and there was a miserable howl from the hole.
The soldiers who were originally standing around saw that the rope was still being pumped into the hole, and they hurried over to help one by one, and everyone worked together, dragging it outward desperately, finally stabilizing the rope, and then snatching it back little by little.
Ma Yongping involuntarily took a few steps back, and the situation in front of him made his heart tremble, only to see that the rope dragged out of the cave was already stained with blood, and the rain fell on the rope, merging into blood and dripping on the ground.
Ma Yongping was almost about to give up the order, but he didn't say the order after all, after all, the soldier was sent by him, and if he gave up at this time, these subordinates would inevitably say that he was cold-blooded and ruthless. Life is to see people, death to see corpses, this time he must be dragged out no matter what.
Ma Yongping stabilized his emotions and said, "Everyone work together to save people first." ”
At this time, there was no more screaming in the cave, and everyone knew in their hearts that the soldier who entered the cave was dead, and even if he was not dead, normal people could not afford to drag him like this.
They felt the speed of the drag increase, and began to pay attention to the control, and the hands of the people were holding on the blood-stained ropes, slimy and uncomfortable. Under the joint efforts of everyone, the soldier at the end of the rope was finally dragged up, but he saw that the soldier's clothes were gone, and his whole body was covered with blood, which was extremely terrifying, and his limbs were curled up together, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
A soldier who had befriended him walked boldly and called his name softly, but he did not respond a few times, and the soldier raised his head full of sorrow and said to Ma Yongping: "General, it seems that he is dead." ”
Ma Yongping faked a sigh and said, "How can this be? What kind of monster is there in the cave?"
At this moment, the soldier covered in blood suddenly opened his eyes, and to everyone's horror, his eyes were dripping with blood, leaving only two empty blood holes, and his eyeballs had already been gouged out.
