The one hundred and thirty slap bones
Li Bochen was stunned for a moment, but the first thought that came to his heart was, "This is the case again"?
At the beginning, Wujing Mountain Jun also told him that there was a treasure somewhere, and tricked him into taking the Sumeru fetus. But that time it was Shanjun who asked for himself, what happened this time?
He thought for a moment and said, "The Earth Master has misunderstood. I just wanted to ask for something, and I didn't ask for any treasures. ”
When he said this, his heart moved-the twelve horsemen in front of him looked like they wanted to move but couldn't, and the words that the earth master said just now seemed to have a sign of weakness, and it sounded like he wanted to send himself away quickly. Did he have any problems?
But in any case, he is also a spirit god in the same place after all, even if there are some difficult things, he shouldn't let himself know.
He then said, "Is the earth master ...... What's the trouble?"
The twelve horsemen in front of him shook for a while, and after a while, they heard the old man's voice again, which was full of pleading: "All the immortals are fighting, but let the little old man go! I am just a little spirit god in this county, and my jurisdiction is only thirty miles away...... Before he was sealed, he was just a mortal, and he got luck because of chance...... I never dared to go beyond the bounds, let alone have the slightest disrespect for the secret spirits of the heavens...... Li Lingjun, leave quickly!"
Li Bochen was stunned again, if it weren't for the Yin Spirit right now, he would almost draw his sword, suspecting that there was a trap in front of him-what was this earth master afraid of himself?
But the next moment, a thought came to his heart, and he couldn't help but say, "You...... Know me, know what I'm doing in Zhangshan?"
The earth master immediately exclaimed: "Little God, there are absolutely no treasures here—the treasures are all in the big tomb more than six hundred steps away! The owner of that tomb is Lang Zhongling, the son of heaven of the Sheng Dynasty more than 7,000 years ago, and there is a lot of gold and silver!"
Looks like he does. Li Bochen frowned, thinking to himself, did this earth master think that he was a spirit master who specialized in treasure grabbing? Thinking that he had killed Zhangshan Jun? However, he was also interested in another thing at this time—when he was in Zhangshan, Zhangshan Jun also knew what he had done in Wujing Mountain.
Could it be that these mountain monarchs, earth masters, and water masters belong to them, and what other channels are there to transmit news?
However, no matter what, he would never want to carry the reputation of harming people and stealing treasures, so he said: "I am definitely not here for treasures, I just want to ask you a few words-did anyone dig up the tomb on the mountain a few days ago? Did the three people in the village also be killed? Does the earth master know what those people looked like?"
He asked these questions, and the earth master stopped talking again.
Li Bochen's heart slowly became anxious. The more things he knew, the more mysteries there became, and the more impatient he became when he met this person who spoke slurribly. Since this earth master showed weakness first, he was no longer polite, so he said: "Then the matter of Zhangshan Jun, it was-"
Sure enough, after hearing this, the earth master said, "Alas...... Alas...... Lingjun, why bother me! Okay, if Lingjun really didn't come for the treasure...... Can you help me get out of trouble first?"
Li Bochen thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "If I can do it." ”
The earth master said, "Then please Lingjun...... Come to my grave...... Pull out the brass nails!"
When Li Bochen heard what he said, he realized that this mound did look like a big tomb when it looked at it from a distance—could it be that this place was also a prince and general before his death?
Listening to the earth master again, "Lingjun...... This tomb of mine is where you are standing now, and you will take another twenty steps forward!"
Li Bochen said: "Okay." Hold on. ”
With these words, his Yin Spirit flew away and returned to his physical body. At this time, the funeral procession had already passed, and a layer of copper paper fell on the dirt road. He thought for a moment, then removed the magic knife from his horse and stuck it at his waist. The horse also carried two parcels containing his armor. He hesitated for a moment, but didn't wear it.
At this time, he felt a slight chill in his heart - it seemed that the person who traced his background was extremely skillful. Arrogant people like Xu Cheng didn't want to go to Zhang Shanjun for trouble in person and asked Ye Chengchou to do it for him, but these people didn't seem to be the case.
The earth master said that he was trapped, and Li Bochen guessed that those people did it. Although these living spirits and gods are strong and weak, and the earth master here rules a radius of thirty miles, it can indeed be regarded as a "small god", but after all, he is also enshrined in the Netherworld, and he can be regarded as a righteous god. They seem to be even more daring than they are.
He must have expected that he would also come back for a trip before he acted, so he used some means not to be seen by the spirits here. In this way, the information that can be obtained from the geographer must be very limited.
The earth master said before that "all the immortals" were fighting—his own methods should not be considered "immortals", maybe he was referring to his own secret spirit.
Therefore, the two doubts in his heart were: If those people expected that they would come back, why didn't they ambush here?
He got up and jumped uphill, and in a quarter of an hour walked back to the mound to find where he had just stood. Twenty more paces from this place will lead to the bottom of the slope. The entrance that the Master said should be here.
He was a little confused for a while. Because if there is really a large tomb of princes and generals under this mound, it must be extremely difficult to enter the tomb, at least the soil layer will have to be dug for a long time. The earth master told himself to pull out the copper nails, and the copper nails must have been nailed somewhere in the tomb by those people to perform some kind of magic. How did they get in?
Could it be that this place is a trap?But as soon as this thought occurred to him, he realized that there was something unusual about the land in front of him—although it was also covered with miserable white wild grass, there was no green in the grass. So he leaned over and flicked it with his hand, and found that the grass had been plucked and was now just covered on it.
Li Bochen said in his heart, this should be the entrance. He tucked his hem and squatted down to pick up the soft layer of soil underneath with his hands, thinking that he might be able to find a stone door or mechanism. But as soon as I peeled off a layer of floating soil on the surface, I saw a small stone slab.
His heart jumped, and he dug to the side again, and finally dug out a small sarcophagus. After a little hesitation, I tried it by picking at the crack in the stone, and it loosened at once, it should have been opened before.
Then he leaned to the side and lifted the slate open.
Thankfully, there was no mechanism, just a skeleton. Judging by the size, it was a child, with dark bones like iron, and a copper nail nailed to the center of the skull's eyebrows. Look at the sarcophagus and there are twelve small stone sculptures, which are the appearance of armored warriors riding horses.
He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the tomb that the earth master was talking about was referring to this sarcophagus. The twelve small stone carvings in the sarcophagus are the warriors I saw earlier, and the bones of this child should be the body of the earth master. He said that he was an ordinary person, but after his death, he was lucky enough to be canonized, and he should have died at a very young age. So is it bluffing to speak in the voice of an old man just now?
It should have been this brass nail on the forehead of the dry bones that restrained him. It's a miraculous tactic.
Li Bochen stretched out his hand and pulled out the copper nail. The nail should have been very strong when it came down, and it took him a little bit of force before the nail came loose. But just as the nail was halfway out of it, he stopped.
Because suddenly the section of the skull that came out of the skull showed some signs of wear and rust.
In fact, this copper nail also has patina, and the original color is almost invisible. However, the newly exposed section may have been scratched by the friction of the shattered edges of the skull.
However, if it is newly carved out of the skull, it will reveal the gold underneath. But now there is a green rust on the scratch, which means that the nail may have been inserted back and forth in the skull for a long time...... So long that the scratches have been worn deep enough that they will not be scratched again, and patina has also been born!
This means that it was not newly nailed a few days ago! Li Bochen stopped because of this thought that suddenly flashed in his heart. And at that moment he thought of something else—although copper was much softer than iron, it was still a metal after all. What kind of material is this skull, and the shattered edges can cut the copper nail so deeply?
Is this really a human bone!?
At this moment, when the brass nail was half pulled out, the skeleton that had been lying in the sarcophagus suddenly flicked, and the limbs snapped like iron whips, and they turned around and hugged him.
Fortunately, Li Bochen was on guard for a moment, and when he saw it move, he immediately pressed the copper nail down again, and pulled his hand out at once.
I heard a crisp crack, and the bones curled up in a ball, and every joint poked out black spurs, if it was really caught, I was afraid that it would all be pierced into the body!
Li Bochen was shocked, grabbed the handle of the magic knife, and jumped back two steps away.
Look at the skeleton again, curled up in a ball, hugged in the air, and slowly relaxed, turning into the shape of a human skeleton again. However, Li Bochen saw clearly just now that its arm bones, leg bones, and ribs were not a whole piece, but were divided into many small pieces!
What a trap!
He gasped and suddenly realized what the skeleton was.
It should be a "ghost beast" - it is said that this monster beast has thousands of bones all over its body, and it can be transformed into a human form. He had only heard from the veteran before, but he had never seen it, but now that he saw it, the coffin might really be an evil thing made from the bones of that thing!
At that moment, the bones in the sarcophagus suddenly bounced again—the head was nailed, but the bones of the limbs and body were turned into bone whips, and the sarcophagus was scraped with a sneer, as if trying to pull itself out. And in the eye sockets, there was a cloud of black gas, staring at Li Bochen obliquely like eyeballs, and the mandibles were knocking and knocking, as if they were human words.
Li Bochen was shocked, so he simply pulled out the magic knife and smashed the bones with one sword, and also cut off the twelve stone sculptures in the sarcophagus.
But then there was a gust of wind around him, and there was a strange smile in the voice of the old man just now: "You helped me become a spiritual god, how do you want this gentleman to repay you!? Why don't you send you to the Netherworld to preach!"
