Chapter 498: Bronze Coffin? Paper Coffin?
"Whoa...... Whoa......"
"Boom ......"
"Bang...... Smack......"
It was late at night, but it was pouring rain outside the window, and from time to time thunder and lightning tore the sky, roaring angrily, and all the creatures in the mountains were trembling and hibernating, and they did not catch a cold.
The hill is not high, at most 100 meters, and a little light on the top of the hill extends outward through the rain curtain.
Suddenly, the light was extinguished, and the hill was dark again.
"Oh my God, it's raining so hard. Kuroko carefully lowered the extinguished candlestick in his hand, turned around and closed the window that had been blown open by the strong wind.
He turned, and the candle in the room was lit again.
Next to the candlelight, an old man in gray was leaning over, standing silently, under the dim light, the old man's cloudy eyes could not see clearly, his face was wrinkled, and the age spots seemed to cover several layers, making the whole person extremely terrifying.
When Kuroko saw it, he was not afraid, but smiled, and hurriedly walked over, "Master, why are you up?" and helped the old man to another room.
The old man followed him and walked away slowly.
The two walked through the lobby, the lightning outside the window tore the black curtain, and also through the window, the room was illuminated as if it was day, in the lobby, more than a dozen coffins were placed in two rows, and the two walked through these coffins, their faces were unconscious, and there was no fear or fear at all.
Outside the house, the wind and rain are still endless, and the lightning just now also illuminates the dilapidated plaque on the roof, the first two words are no longer clear, and the two "Yizhuang" seal characters in the back are vaguely recognizable.
......
After the wind and rain, the already verdant mountain forest, coupled with the unfallen water droplets on the treetops, is even more vibrant.
Old Chen Tou has always woken up very early, and at the moment he is sitting on the chair in front of Yizhuang, squinting his eyes, as if he is not sleeping. In his life, he was widowed and lonely, and because of the taboo of eating, he was disgusted by the villagers, so he simply moved to the Yizhuang on the mountain.
"Oh no, Master, it's not good...... "The teenage boy is full of energy.
Lao Chen's eyelids didn't move, and he didn't speak.
Heizi took a few breaths, looked at Lao Chen, pointed to the back mountain, and said, "Master, there are many coffins in the back mountain......
Old Chen's eyelids moved this time, and then he opened his eyes, if you look closely, you can find that although one eye is cloudy, it still has brilliance, and the other is dead and silent, obviously invisible.
The voice was old, "A lot of coffins?"
Kuroko nodded violently.
Lao Chen Tou is a second leatherman, specializing in dealing with the corpses in the county that are either killed or broken for other reasons, to put it bluntly, it is the profession of sewing corpses, and he has dealt with dead corpses all his life, so it is no wonder that he dares to live alone in Yizhuang.
Doubts flashed in Old Chen's good eyes, he thought for a while, and said, "Let's go, take me to have a look." ”
Heizi and Master depended on each other, and their feelings were very deep, so they hurriedly stepped forward to help them, and walked to the back mountain, foaming at the same time as they walked: "Master, you don't know, Xiao Huang and I made an appointment to find fruit today, but I didn't expect to see a lot of coffins, and there was rust on the coffins...... "Xiao Huang is his friend in the mountains, a yellow monkey."
Old Chen Tou is old, and he has walked for half an hour before he reaches a valley.
He looked around, and there were indeed six coffins in the valley, as Kuroko said, scattered in the valley, some were lying upright, some were turning on their sides, and the farthest two were ten zhang away from each other, which looked extremely messy.
Old Chen Tou had never been here, so he turned his head and said, "Heizi, you are running around the mountains all day long, before last night, were there any of these things here?"
Kuroko shook his head and said: "No, I often come here, I'm sure that these coffins definitely didn't exist before, otherwise how could such a big guy not see it." ”
Old Chen Tou frowned, he didn't suspect that Heizi was lying, but he was a little surprised, how could there be six coffins here for no reason.
Kuroko looked at Lao Chen, and then at the coffin in the valley, and his eyes flashed with fear and excitement for the unknown.
Old Chen Tou pondered and said, "Let's go, let's go down and have a look." "He is not a martial arts practitioner, he is old and far away, so he can only look at a rough idea.
When I got closer, I realized what Kuroko meant by rusting, and these six coffins were all bronze coffins.
It's just that I don't know when this bronze coffin was cast, it is already mottled everywhere, and the patina is everywhere, and the old Chen can vaguely smell the fishy smell of the patina.
Kuroko looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Master......"
Before he finished speaking, Lao Chen Tou glared at him, "Although this copper coffin is rusty, it will cost a thousand catties to say the least, will you carry it or will I carry it?"
Standing in front of a bronze coffin that had turned on its side, Kuroko heard the master's reprimand, smiled, and slapped it on the bronze coffin.
Immediately, something happened that made the master and apprentice stunned, the copper coffin was originally turned on its side, a little oblique, and the sunspot slapped it casually, and the copper coffin shook twice, and with a bang, it was straightened up and down.
Heizi looked at his right hand and said, "This copper coffin has thousands of catties?"
Old Chen Tou was also unsure at the moment, muttered, stretched out his old right hand and wiped a handful of copper coffins, patina covered the entire palm, he sniffed it, lest he make a mistake, and even smacked it twice with his mouth.
"Phew" spit out the patina in his mouth, affirming that this is a copper coffin.
Thinking of this, Lao Chen's heart was a little hairy.
Heizi didn't think about it so much, and muttered in his mouth: "What a copper coffin, so light, how can it look like paper paste." After he finished speaking, he casually held the two corners of the copper coffin, and with a slight force, the entire copper coffin rose from the ground, as if there was nothing.
He casually asked, "Master, what are we going to do with these bronze coffins?"
Old Chen turned his head to look at the six bronze coffins, and then looked at the sunspot carrying a copper coffin, the old man's eyes were afraid and ruthless, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's fight this bronze coffin back to Yizhuang first." "Other people are old spirits, ghosts and old spirits, and their masters and apprentices have encountered such a strange thing, and I don't know if it is something unclean, but it has been targeted, if it is gone, I am afraid that there will be greater troubles, so I simply moved this bronze coffin back to Yizhuang first.
The copper coffin is light, and the sunspot is driven by curiosity, so he naturally works hard, and in half a day, the six bronze coffins are placed in Yizhuang.
Kuroko wanted to study it for a long time, but before he could do it, he was driven down the mountain by his master and ordered to come back in three months.
......
That night, except for the birds and insects chirping in the mountains and forests, it was quiet.
Lao Chen Tou held the candlestick, and the inferior candles crackled from time to time, but he didn't care about these, looked at the six bronze coffins in front of him, and muttered to himself: "No matter what you are, just come at me, don't bother the children." ”
The breeze blew, the light and shadow flickered, and the old man Chen faintly heard a chuckle, and suddenly his hair exploded, and a cool air rushed straight to his chest and abdomen, and his eyes were protruding, and his eyes were full of horror.
