Chapter 150: Opening the Coffin
The power of the Eight Great Divine Dragon Palms is huge, and it is unmatched, although it is only the first layer of the first move, it is enough to have the power of opening mountains and cracking stones, not to mention digging graves.
Hu Yan looked at the deep pit in front of him that was blasted open by his palm, and the coffin had been exposed from the soil, so he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, clapped his hands and said, "Brother Zhuang, dig it up." ”
As soon as he turned around, he saw Zhuang Bai and Jin Ning'er looking at Hu Yan with a look of disbelief, and their eyes were full of disbelief.
"This ...... This is too powerful, Brother Hu didn't expect to see you in January, your skills have improved to such an extent, it's incredible!" Zhuang Bai stared at the deep pit with a pair of eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was dumbfounded.
Hu Yan smiled indifferently and said: "How can Brother Zhuang say such an exaggeration, it is true that my skills have improved, I can lift this soil with palm power, presumably this is newly turned soil, and it has rained before, so it will be so soft!
Zhuang Bai said disapprerovingly: "Having said that, the trick you just used is indeed amazingly powerful. ”
"Brother Zhuang, it's the Eight Great Divine Dragon Palms!" Wu Qiu reminded with a smile: "This is the secret technique of my Qingyuan Palace, and ordinary people can't comprehend it at all." But Hu Yan comprehended this secret technique by chance, how about it, it's amazing!"
Zhuang Bai naturally saw the extraordinaryness of these eight divine dragon palms, and said with a thumbs up and a look of admiration on his face: "The Qingyuan Palace Exercises are really worthy of their reputation, and they are powerful!"
Jin Ning'er pouted and said, "What's amazing, it's just a small skill of carving insects." Compared to the Taoism of our Maoshan faction, it is still far behind!"
"The Qingyuan Palace Exercises are indeed not as good as your Maoshan Dao Method, otherwise how could someone steal it out and harm others!" Hu Yan originally had some opinions about Jin Ning'er in his heart, and when he slandered his own exercises like this, he couldn't help but go back.
When Jin Ning'er heard this, her brows couldn't help frowning, and she wanted to scold when she opened her mouth, but she was glared at by Zhuang Bai fiercely, and suddenly stopped, stomped her feet, and retreated to the side angrily.
"Brother Hu, you know Ning'er's temper, she doesn't mean to belittle Qingyuan Palace. Don't be like her. Zhuang Bai shook his head with a wry smile, patted Hu Yan's arm and said apologetically.
Hu Yan is not the master who is unforgiving, not to mention that he also knows that Jin Ning'er has a little bit of a perverse personality, a little hot-tempered, and sometimes a little annoying mouth, but there is nothing bad about it.
He just made a sarcastic remark, but he couldn't stand the fact that Jin Ning'er looked down on the Qingyuan Palace exercises, and in fact, he didn't want to see her in general.
"It's okay, Brother Zhuang, now that this grave has been dug up, what should I do next?"
Zhuang Bai looked at the coffin in the deep pit, and said in a deep voice, "I have to pull this coffin up first." As he spoke, he stepped forward and took out a stack of talismans from the Qiankun bag around his waist.
But he saw Zhuang Bai pinching the knot in his hand, throwing the talisman in his hand into the sky, and muttering in his mouth: "Elf elf, I don't know the name, grant the five ghosts, go to my altar, follow me Ji, go against me, assist me in the way, Kuang Wu is true, order Er to carry, that is, do it quickly, and those who go against my order will cut off the dust." The five ghosts came quickly and carried the coffin to the hurdle. Haste as the law......"
At the sound of the order, the wind suddenly blew around, and five ghostly lights of different colors suddenly flew out of the dirt in front of him, shooting straight into the coffin in the deep pit.
A moment later, the coffin in the deep pit shook slightly, and it actually rose steadily from the deep pit, and after a while, the coffin fell to the ground, and five ghostly lights whistled, shooting into the earth again, and disappeared.
Zhuang Bai nodded with satisfaction, stepped forward and pushed the coffin lid hard, only to find that the entire coffin had been sealed with rivets and mahogany nails, which did not take some effort, and it was obviously not so easy to open.
So he greeted Hu Yan and said, "Brother Hu, it looks like I have to help you." ”
Hu Yan nodded, and was about to step forward, but was pulled by Ziling: "Little brother, I'm afraid!"
Hu Yan smiled slightly, patted Ziling's little hand and comforted: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." You and Wuqiu stand far away. Even if anything happens, it won't hurt you. ”
Ziling timidly glanced at the black coffin, swallowed her saliva, and said timidly: "Little brother, be careful yourself, if there is any problem, run away quickly." ”
Hu Yan stroked Ziling's little head, nodded and said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine." ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward and said, "Brother Zhuang, what do you want me to do?"
Zhuang Bai said in a deep voice: "I think the method of sealing this coffin is not ordinary, I think it is also a person with Taoism, this coffin has been sealed with rivets and peach nails, I will open the coffin with a spell, you help me protect the Fa." ”
Nodding nonsense: "I know, let's start." ”
Zhuang Bai nodded, sat cross-legged on the ground, quickly pinched a knot with both hands, pinched a yellow rune paper with two fingers, drew a rune in the void, and with a strong finger, only to hear a poof, the rune paper instantly burned with dazzling firelight.
"People come to separate heavy paper, ghosts come to the next mountain, a thousand evils can't get it, ten thousand evils can't get it, and it's as urgent as the law. Open the coffin ......" With Zhuang Bai's incantation, as soon as he raised the flame burning rune paper in his hand, a halo rose on the coffin, and the halo passed, the coffin lid trembled slightly, and the peach wood nails and rivets inlaid on it spontaneously jumped out from the coffin lid.
"Nonsense, be careful when opening the coffin, in case there is a Dao law organ set up in it!" Zhuang Bai pinched the knot, and a trace of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Hu Yan nodded, cautiously walked to the coffin, hesitated for a moment, and with a strong push of both hands, the heavy coffin lid suddenly opened, but there was no Dao law organ as Zhuang Bai said.
Seeing this, Zhuang Bai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It seems that I am too cautious. ”
Hu Yan smiled and said, "It's better to be cautious." ”
Zhuang Bai nodded, stood up reflexively from the ground, walked slowly to the coffin, and saw the situation inside clearly by the bright moonlight.
In the coffin, there was a young man who was about the same age as Hu Yan, who had been buried for several days, and had begun to show signs of corruption, and a strong rancid smell came to his face.
The stench made him frown, and a feeling of nausea hit his heart, and he retched and took a few steps back.
"Stinks to death......" Even Jin Ning'er, who was far away, changed color from the smoke, covered her nose and retreated farther away.
Zhuang Bai glanced at Hu Yan and grinned: "Brother Hu, I really can't stand this smell, you can stay away." ”
Hu Yan frowned, hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I also find out the truth of the facts." ”
Zhuang Bai nodded slightly, but took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill from it, handed it to Hu Yan and said, "Eat this, you won't be so disgusting." ”
Hu Yan hesitated to take the pale cyan elixir, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, there was a cool feeling, like the smell of mint, but with this cool smell into his nose, the whole person also became refreshed, and even the strong smell of rotting corpses seemed to have subsided a lot.
Hu Yan hurriedly raised his head and threw the elixir into his mouth, and after swallowing it, he suddenly felt a cool feeling rise in his lower abdomen, and suddenly felt as clear as an initiation, if there was a cold wind in his nose, the unpleasant smell of rotting corpses seemed to be blown away by the cold wind rolling up in his nose.
"How is it, do you feel better?" Zhuang Bai looked at Hu Yan and asked with concern.
Hu Yan nodded a little excitedly and said, "What kind of medicine is this, the effect is so good, you can no longer smell the smell of corpses when you swallow this." ”
Zhuang Bai smiled and said, "This is our special Concentration Pill from Maoshan. It can refresh the mind and calm the mind. It can also get rid of the smell of corpses. ”
Hu Yan knew that the art of the Maoshan school was unparalleled in the world, but he didn't expect that even the art of Danding had such attainments, and it was indeed worthy of the three major Taoist schools of Taoism named after Longhu Mountain and Hesoap Mountain.
"Okay, let's get started!" Zhuang Bai saw that Hu Yan was fine, and greeted with a smile.
Hu Yan nodded, and hurriedly stepped forward to assist Zhuang Bai in examining the body in the coffin.
"I'll do the autopsy, you help me record it, remember, every word I say is recorded accurately. Zhuang Bai said cautiously.
Hu Yan naturally knew that this matter was related to the reputation of the Maoshan faction, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother Zhuang, don't worry, I will carefully remember every word you say." ”
Zhuang Bai nodded and began to look down at the young man's body.
"The corpse, with obvious strangulation marks on its hands and feet, is supposed to have been caused by being tied with thatch. There are traces of pinholes pierced by silver needles in the mud pill palace on the top of the head and the spring point on the soles of the feet. This is supposed to be refined corpse oil. Could it be that the pinholes in the Mud Pill Palace and the Yongquan Cave are caused by the Split Needle? This is an important discovery, Hu Yan, you can write it down for me. Zhuang Bai looked back at Hu Yan with some excitement and asked.
Hu Yan said: "The Mud Pill Palace and the Yongquan Cave were pierced by the Split Needle. Brother Zhuang, I wrote it down. ”
Zhuang Bai nodded, and continued to check: "The body has no obvious injuries, but looking at his appearance, he should have experienced great pain and struggle, and the blood around his body has been drained. Could it be the murderer?"
Zhuang Bai shook his head, puzzled.
After checking it for a while, Zhuang Bai closed the coffin lid with some dejection.
Seeing this, Hu Yan hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhuang, have you finished the inspection?"
Zhuang Bai nodded, and said calmly: "I basically know what I should know, this kid really fell into the Maoshan Soul Separation Technique." But I don't have any questions. ”
Hu Yan saw Zhuang Bai's face full of hesitation, so he said: "Brother Zhuang, if there is any problem, it is better to say it and I will analyze it for you." ”
Zhuang Bai nodded, suddenly thought of something, and said: "Let's put this hard-working child into the ground first! ”
Hu Yan stared at the tightly knit coffin and nodded hesitantly......
