Volume 2 Sacrifice Chapter 62 Nine Dragons Pull the Coffin

The thrilling scene just now can be regarded as saving Zhang Tianshu's life, which makes Zhang Tianshu look at the virtuous nephew in front of him differently.

After all, at this critical moment, he can not be alarmed, and he will not be chaotic, especially at that critical moment, he can not be in a hurry, hit the opponent appropriately, and let his life hang by a thread to get out of danger, which is enough to reflect the courage and courage of Ember.

Seeing the ability of the ember fire for the first time, Zhang Tianshu was very happy, after all, the rise and fall of the glory and disgrace of the corpse made him see hope and dawn.

In addition to the crisis, Zhang Tianshu picked up the shotgun that had fallen on the ground, picked up a torch in his left hand, and walked straight into the depths of the darkness.

Ember could only follow behind, and after stepping through the stone door carved with cobras, it was obvious that the temperature here was higher than outside, and some sounds of running water could be faintly heard.

By the glimmer of the swaying torches, Ember opened his eyes wide and found that there was a dark river down here, and the dark river was actually flowing with living water, steaming all the way to the depths of darkness.

If I am not mistaken, the warm water flowing is the one that flows to Hualongtan, which can explain why the water temperature of the reservoir is warm and cold at the same time.

Yu Huo secretly thought that if this was not a hairy chicken fairy or a mass grave, maybe it could be developed and turned into a tourist resort with a resort hot spring, which might be a good opportunity to make a fortune.

But Yu Huo gave up this idea, because after the encounter and danger just now, it is obvious that no tourists will come, and the end of the investment is to lose all money.

Yu Huo knew that he was not a businessman, nor was he the material, so he honestly inherited the mantle of his grandfather and continued to walk the rivers and lakes for the benefit of life and death.

"Here we are."

Zhang Tianshu stopped suddenly, he lit the everlasting lamps on the cliff wall with torches in turn, and at the moment when all the nine everlasting lamps were lit, the whole picture that was originally hidden in the darkness was clearly presented in front of the embers.

The scene in front of him suddenly stunned Ember Fire, and in front of Ember Fire, a huge stone statue carved with a huge dragon dragon in its mouth, shining like a night pearl.

It is surrounded by a ring, that is, the position of the nine lanterns, which is slightly smaller than the huge stone statue, but they are all carved with different beasts, symbolizing different meanings.

Seeing Yu Huo standing still with a stunned face, Zhang Tianshu came to the long dragon, turned around, and motioned for Yu Huo to come over as well.

At the moment when Ember turned his back, all nine everlasting lamps appeared in the field of vision, and the scene in front of him shocked Ember again.

"Dragons give birth to nine sons and do not become dragons, each has its own advantages."

Under Zhang Tianshu's reminder, Yu Huo also realized that these ten statues were carved with the nine sons of the dragon, and the corresponding point of the ever-bright lantern was that the eldest son was called the prisoner cow, the second son was called Jianwei, the third son was called mocking wind, the fourth son was called Pu Jiao, the fifth son was called Xuanyi, the sixth son was called Zhan Tu or Baxia, the seventh son was called the Fox Niu, the eighth son was called the negative, and the ninth son was called the Kiss.

But Ember found a strange place, that is, Jiuzi did not have beads in his mouth like a long dragon, but a large and narrow chain hung under his long tongue, which went down from the dragon's mouth and went directly to the depths of the ground.

"Uncle Shi, what is hanging together under the chains in the mouths of these nine sons?"

Zhang Tianshu was very satisfied with Yu Huo's observation, and then jumped on the back of the long dragon with agility, and rode on the back of the long dragon with ease, not at all like an old man of fifty or sixty years old.

I saw Zhang Tianshu riding on the back of the long dragon and leaning over, holding the huge night pearl in the long dragon's mouth with both hands, and twisting it in the counterclockwise direction, I saw the night pearl gurgling from the dragon's mouth and swallowing it into the stomach.

After the Night Pearl was silent, the same sound came from the direction of the nine lanterns.

That's right, this is similar to the sound of a winch pulling the chain, the chain of the dragon's mouth of the nine sons is pulling something, and the force and pace of this pull are consistent, which shows the ingenuity and goodness of the original designer.

In the process of pulling, Yu Huo looked at his watch, the time was exactly two and a half minutes, as for why it was this time, he couldn't explain it for a while, but at the moment when the chain pulling stopped, the pulling thing revealed his true face.

"Nine Dragons pull the coffin?"

A huge coffin appeared in front of Yu Huo, although he had seen many such scenes, the big red coffin in front of him still frightened Yu Huo.

As we all know, all people who die naturally use black coffins, but with red coffins, they will either die unjustly or tragically, and they will be accustomed to using red murderous things to calm the soul and guard the soul.

What is certain is that the owner of the coffin must have died unnaturally, and the use of Kowloon to pull the coffin is a very expensive way to calm the soul, obviously the dead owner is either rich or expensive.

"Uncle Shi, who is the owner of this tomb?"

I saw Zhang Tianshu shake his head and said: "I have been investigating for many years, and there is no information about the owner of the tomb, including in this coffin, except for some burial goods, there are no clues left, which is why I let you in." ”

"What is the reason?"

Yu Huo seemed to know more about the owner of this tomb, but Zhang Tianshu deliberately sold the guanzi, did not answer directly, and said: "Open the coffin." ”

Zhang Tianshu opened the coffin with a sentence, which made Yu Huo a little surprised, could it be that before this, Zhang Tianshu had not opened this coffin?

So what does he mean? Or is it that he can't open this coffin, so he will let the embers open it for him?

There were too many questions, which made Yu Huo feel like he was being used by this uncle, but Yu Huo did not question on the spot, but prepared for the ceremony of opening the coffin.

There are a set of rules and taboos for anyone who touches the gold and robs the tomb to open the coffin to take treasures, such as lighting candles in the corners of the tomb, and needing to stop immediately when encountering cats, etc., but sewing the corpse is different in this way, sewing the corpse and opening the coffin is not to steal the treasure, but to let the resentful spirits rest in peace.

Therefore, the rule of sewing corpses is that before the coffin is opened, you need to light a sky lantern, which is not an ancient torture, but requires some straw anthropomorphism, and then these anthropomorphic scarecrows are set on fire and burned, and then these grass ashes are directly thrown around the coffin of the tomb owner, especially the position of the coffin nails, which needs special care.

Ember threw ashes with both hands, shouting three silver needles in his mouth, this is the old rule of sewing corpses, the reason why he has to hold silver needles in his mouth is nothing more than for his own safety when the coffin is opened, for insurance reasons.

Because opening the coffin is an unethical thing, it is exactly like this, so many tomb designers, in order to prevent people from robbing the tomb, not only set up many mechanisms in the tomb, but also set up hidden weapons in the coffin.

Therefore, at the moment when the coffin is opened, if you are not careful, you are very likely to die here.

And the mouth with a silver needle is naturally convenient to be able to spit out the silver needle when the hands are too late to fight back, so as to add a bumper for escape, that's all.

Seeing that Yu Huo was skillful, Zhang Tianshu didn't speak, only to see him pick up his shotgun, and then put on a bayonet, but he didn't expect that his gun could also be used as a tool to pry open the coffin nails.

At the moment when the seven coffin nails were pried open, the coffin lid suddenly loosened, and a burst of miasma blended with dust, making people feel a kind of suffocation, but because of the ash of plants and trees, the miasma was instantly suppressed and slid to the ground, forming a circle of pitch-black powder.

It is said that this miasma is extremely evil, covered with bacteria and viruses, once a person touches it, the skin will immediately decay, and once inhaled into the nasal cavity, it will cause respiratory infections and even trigger lungs. inflammation, so extremely dangerous.

But because the plant ash has the effect of disinfection and sterilization, it is the restraining thing of this miasma, and it is also the real purpose and reason for lighting the sky lantern.

"Watch out!"

Zhang Tianshu reminded the embers at the right time, the sewing of corpses is in contact with things that are taboo among the people, and dealing with dead people for a long time is tantamount to licking blood from the edge of a knife, so we must be vigilant all the time, so as not to accidentally injure ourselves and harm ourselves and their lives.

Yu Huo and Zhang Tianshu worked together to open the coffin, and when the coffin cover was about to be opened, they only heard a 'click', as if they had touched some mechanism, and saw something jump out of the coffin.

Before the embers had time to see clearly, the three silver needles in the embers' mouths had already shot out, colliding head-on with the hidden weapon, perhaps the principle of inertia, and with a 'clang', the hidden weapon directly deviated from the established trajectory, whistling from the ember's cheek less than two centimeters.

I felt a cool breeze, and the hidden weapon shot impartially on an everlasting lamp behind the embers.

There was a false alarm, Zhang Tianshu, who was on the side, pinched a cold sweat for the ember, and when he saw the embernut turned into a danger, he said with a smile: "Yes, you kid is old and spicy enough." ”

"It's not all taught by the master and the uncle."

Ember did not be greedy for credit, but attributed the credit to Zhang Tianshu, which made Zhang Tianshu full of joy, and pushed open the coffin cover, the coffin was shining with golden light, and the dazzling funeral goods covered up the corpse that had become dry bones.

It is said that sewing the corpse and opening the coffin is not a treasure, but the embers are somewhat moved, after all, these funeral goods are all priceless without exception, but if you take one out, you can save yourself 20 years of struggle.

But there are rules for sewing corpses, you can't be greedy for the deceased's finances, and you can't steal the card.

Ember was full of determination, and immediately dispelled this evil thought.

"Uncle Shi, can you tell me now, why didn't you have a reason to open the coffin before?"

Yu Huo has always had a question in his heart, that is, Zhang Tianshu has lived in seclusion here for many years, and has dived into this underwater tomb many times, but he did not open the coffin, but waited for the appearance of Yu Huo to open the coffin, what is the intention of this?

Or is there some ulterior secret? Or is there anything special about sewing corpses?
