Chapter 248: Opening the Coffin, Blood Sacrifice
With the strength of this group of people, even the entire mountain can be shaken, but when pulling this mysterious giant coffin, it looks extremely difficult. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"That's right, it's this giant coffin, as long as we get it, we have hope of leaving the Temple of the Dead. Xue Henghou watched the dark giant coffin slowly rise from the belly of the mountain, and it was difficult to hide a trace of greed in his eyes.
In his hand, there was a page of ancient scrolls, on which many strange runes were densely recorded, and there was no resemblance to the common characters of the Fallen Immortal Sea.
Bang~~
The moment the giant coffin landed, the entire mountain shook violently, and the hard stone mountain was actually forced to sink a few feet.
"Open the coffin!"
A touch of weirdness flashed in Xue Henghou's eyes, and with a wave of his big hand, he ordered.
"Slow!"
Just as the others were about to make a move, an old voice stopped everyone's movements.
A group of people followed the prestige and found that it was a withered and thin old man who spoke. This old man has loose skin and wrinkles, and he is a man who is on the verge of death. The only difference is that those eyes are bright, as if they can penetrate people's hearts at a glance. It can be seen that his status in the crowd is quite high, second only to Xue Henghou.
"Brother Duanmu, what is your opinion?" Xue Henghou looked displeased, the more critical the moment, the more he could not make any mistakes, otherwise his efforts would be wasted.
Duanmu fungus is also an overhaul in the late infant Yuan, because the longevity is about to run out, so he is willing to take the risk to step into the palace of the afterlife, to find the secret method of the afterlife. In terms of status, Duanmu became famous even earlier than Xue Henghou, but he disappeared in recent years, if he hadn't appeared in the Hall of the Dead, I'm afraid many people would have thought that he had already sat down.
"What exactly is contained in this mountainside coffin, please tell Brother Xue in detail. Duanmu looked directly at him and said solemnly.
After all, he is a long-established figure, and at his peak, he has traveled to various dangerous places in the Fallen Immortal Sea, and even the most mysterious deep-sea beast nest has been there. From this coffin, he felt a trace of crisis, although this crisis was not strong, but it always made his heartstrings tense and had a bad premonition.
Xue Henghou's expression regained his composure, and he said slowly: "Didn't I already say it, this is our only chance to get out of the Hall of Death." ”
"What kind of opportunity, Xue Daoyou's words are always untrue, which makes it difficult for me to be convinced. It's already come to this point, do you still want to hide something from us, Brother Xue?" Duan Mu'er was obviously very dissatisfied with Xue Henghou's performance, and his tone couldn't help but increase.
When a group of people heard this, they also thought it was true, and they said one after another:
"Yes, we are now grasshoppers tied to a rope, and we are all losing and prospering, and it really doesn't do us any good to hide it like this. ”
"Yes, yes, although Brother Xue is the leader of this operation, but I waited for the adventure to come out of trust in Brother Xue, but Brother Xue didn't trust us?"
"What exactly is inside the giant coffin in the belly of the mountain, before the coffin is opened, I need to find out, otherwise it will ......"
......
The crowd was raging, although the two sides had not completely torn their faces, but obviously most of them stood in Duanmu and had strong suspicions about Xue Henghou.
Xue Henghou's expression changed several times, and finally sighed, as if he had made a compromise, and groaned softly: "The Palace of Death, the Gate of Life and Death, the Ten Thousand Years Ancient Coffin leads to the Nine Shadows." ”
Everyone was noisy and chaotic, but Xue Henghou kept repeating these thirteen-character proverbs in his mouth. He didn't speak in bold words, but whispered something to the crowd. The noise gradually thinned, and more and more people heard Xue Henghou's words and quieted down.
The hall of death, the door of life and death, the ancient coffin of ten thousand years leads to nine secluded ......
The fungus muttered to himself, repeating the thirteen-character proverb, and his white eyebrows furrowed: "What does this sentence mean?"
Finally, Xue Henghou stopped singing, his expression was unprecedentedly solemn and solemn: "Don't you still understand? The Hall of the Past is originally the closest place in the world to the Nine Hells Mansion, and it is the gate of life and death. One thought is life, one thought is death, and when we step into this place, one foot is already on the line of death. ”
"Then what are the next two sentences?" Duanmu finally couldn't calm down, and his breathing instantly became short.
If he could really understand life and death, he wouldn't be here. The people who come here are people who have a strong desire for life, they are afraid of death, and they will do whatever it takes to survive, even if they survive, as long as there is a glimmer of life, they must not miss it.
Xue Henghou walked up to the giant coffin, patted the coffin wall with his hand and asked, "Don't you understand? Only by successfully arriving at the Nine Secluded Underworld Mansion can you get that glimmer of life. However, the Nine Shadows are surrounded by three thousand miles of weak water, and the feathers do not float and cannot be crossed. But the dead can cross it. ”
"What, only a dead person can cross three thousand miles of weak water, arrive at the Nine Secluded Underworld, and get that chance to die?" someone couldn't help but exclaim.
If that's the case, wouldn't it mean that all of them must die first, and then let their bodies float over? But the question is, if they are all dead, what is the point of crossing the weak water to reach the Nine Shadows? Everyone's heart sank, and their lips tightened, revealing a look of nervousness.
"Yes, anyone who tries to swim in weak waters is almost certain to die. But if you have this one thing, everything is different. It is something that can take us through the weak water smoothly - the 10,000-year-old agarwood coffin. There was a hint of excitement in Xue Henghou's tone.
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and it was a gift from heaven to be able to cross the weak water without dying!
"Wait, there is only one coffin here, and there are seventeen of us, don't you think Brother Xue should explain?" Duanmu once again stopped the eager crowd and stared at him.
The group of people were all stunned, and soon realized the seriousness of the problem. One coffin, seventeen people to divide, no matter what, is not enough. In the situation of "more wolves and less meat", the most cruel law can only be adopted, that is, the weak eat the strong, everyone calculated, and found that the strongest is Xue Henghou, that is to say, only Xue Henghou can leave, and they are just stepping stones.
They suddenly became furious, staring at Xue Henghou fiercely, once Xue Henghou couldn't explain, then there would be everyone's anger.
Xue Henghou didn't feel the slightest nervousness, but smiled indifferently and said, "You don't need to worry about this problem. Any 10,000-year-old agarwood coffin can accommodate 100 people, and even if all of us are put into it, it will be more than enough. That's why it's so important. ”
A group of people finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about it, if there was no independent space in this coffin, how could it be so heavy and stupid?
Even if Duanmu was still uneasy in his heart, there was no reason to stop everyone.
"Open the coffin!"
Xue Henghou exhaled, and with an order, more than a dozen monks exerted their strength together, and there was a loud "boom", and the coffin lid suddenly opened.
In an instant, a strong smell of blood suddenly spread from the giant coffin, and the three mid-infant monks bore the brunt of it, and before they could hold their breath, their heads were dizzy...... Immediately afterward, hundreds of blood streaks shot out from the giant coffin, entangled the three of them one after another, and in the blink of an eye, all the essence blood of the three people was sucked clean.
