Chapter 15: Tomb Horror
The sudden shock left my mind blank for a moment. There was only one thought left in my head: how could I be lying in a coffin
And King Kong Cannon was even more nervous than me, in the middle of the night in such a gloomy tomb, I actually saw an ancient corpse in the coffin that looked like my only companion, and for a while, in addition to fear, there was also suspicion in my eyes.
I shook my head, trying to clear myself up. I touched my forehead with my hand, the big pimple from the other day was still there, I was me, I was still me. I came back to my senses a little.
When I looked up, I saw that the King Kong Cannon had pointed his machete at me, and I was sweating profusely. "Old ,,, Yu, who are you ,,,?" this guy has a habit of stuttering whenever he is nervous.
"I'm me, CNM, what are you going to do with the machete?" I glared at him.
I guess the sentence I scolded him sounded to him more than the most beautiful natural sound, the most ingenious sycophancy made him happy and solid.
"How can the person in the coffin look exactly like you?" he put down his machete and wiped his sweat.
"Don't keep shining a flashlight on me. "The light of the military flashlight is very dazzling, and the piercing eyes are very uncomfortable.
"Oh, oh" The flashlight in his left hand moved from my face to the coffin.
I also pointed my flashlight at the coffin. Suppressing his fear and doubts, he carefully looked at the ancient corpse that looked like me.
I saw that although the ancient corpse in the coffin had been dead for I don't know how many years had passed, its face was still lifelike, and its expression was quiet and peaceful. Dressed in a cyan robe, embroidered with purple thread silk Yin and Yang Taiji charms. On his feet are a pair of black beast print boots and a hibiscus crown on his head. His face was very similar to mine, but if you looked closely, you could still find subtle differences, he was thinner than me, taller than me, his eyebrows were much lighter, and his nose was a little straighter. Besides, I suspect he won't be very old when he dies, because I didn't find any beard on his chin. There are also these subtle differences, the two faces that were originally very similar give people a completely different feeling, and the one who lies down gives people a feeling of elegance and handsomeness, fairy wind and bones. The one standing doesn't feel like that.
"Old Yu, why isn't he rotten?" asked me when King Kong Cannon looked up.
"I don't know, looking at his clothes, he should be a Taoist priest. "I had the courage to test the corpse with my fingers, but there was no breath.
"Is there a Zhuyan pearl in your mouth?" It is estimated that King Kong Cannon has only read the extracurricular book "Journey to the West".
"Stop dreaming," I didn't bother to talk to him.
"Old Yu, hurry up, let's stop grinding, let's take something and withdraw" This guy was scared for so much just now, and it is estimated that he is sober for most of the time, and he is starting to be scared again. I lowered my head again and looked at it carefully, except for an ancient sword next to the left hand of the ancient corpse and a whisk next to the right hand of the ancient corpse, there was only a small white jade box on the right side of the ancient corpse's head in the entire coffin.
Because I was on the right side of the sarcophagus, I reached out and took out the whisk, and it was cold in my hand, and the weight was heavier than I had imagined, and it looked like it was made of metal. Just when I was looking at the dust in my hand, the efficiency of the King Kong Cannon was much higher than mine, he grabbed the ancient sword at a very fast speed, dragged it twice without pulling it open, and stuffed it into the bag, and then grabbed the small white jade box, fiddled with it twice and didn't open it, and stuffed it into the bag again.
After doing this, he was still not satisfied, and even reached out to take the golden crown on the head of the ancient corpse, I don't know why I suddenly became angry, and shouted, "Don't move that!"
King Kong Cannon retracted his hand and looked at me puzzled.
"That's enough, let's stop taking any more. I was not too embarrassed by my inexplicable gaffe and slowed down.
"Okay, listen to you" Let's go, King Kong Cannon picked up the bag and turned around to leave.
"Wait," I said.
"What's wrong with you, Old Yu?" he paused to look at me.
"Come, let's put the lid on someone," I suddenly said to myself in surprise.
"Ahh "King Kong Cannon put down the bag, he has always been obedient to my words. I stepped down from the stone platform and lifted the thick sarcophagus lid with him. "Damn, it's so heavy, you're so strong, how did you pick it up just now?"
This guy really couldn't stand the praise, and before I finished speaking, he actually threw his head, and I had to let go, and almost didn't hit me.
I looked up and was about to scold him, when I saw that his face was blank, his eyes were as wide as cow's eggs, and he pointed to my back with his right hand
As soon as I turned around, oh my god, the giant snake woke up at some point, how high its upper body was raised, the snake's head almost touched the top of the tomb, and it was looking at me with its big white eyes.
It's no wonder that the two of us are shouting, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, not to mention that people are sleeping, even if they are in a coma, they can wake people up.
The two of us drew our weapons as fast as we could, and retreated to the north of the tomb, our backs clinging to the tomb wall, and our hearts felt a little solid. Giving it to others behind your back is a big taboo in battle.
Looking at the serpent again, I saw that it did not attack the two of us, but slowly swam towards the sarcophagus where we had lifted the lid.
"Old Yu, is it going to eat him?" asked King Kong Cannon.
"No, if it had eaten him, it would have eaten it a long time ago, and you think it wouldn't be able to lift the stone coffin with its strength?" I shook my head.
I saw the giant snake swim meandering to the sarcophagus, the head of the snake raised high slowly lowered, the huge snake head gently touched the ancient corpse in the sarcophagus, the movement was slow and gentle, not only did the posture not look like it wanted to eat him, but more like it wanted to wake up the person in the coffin.
It seems that this giant snake should have an extraordinary relationship with the ancient corpse in this sarcophagus, could it be the head of the tomb beast? Forget it, don't analyze it, don't leave at this time, when will I wait, I touched the King Kong cannon, and made a look, "Go." ”
Slowly, step by step, we moved towards the exit on the west side of the tomb. The giant snake tried a few times, and when it saw that the Taoist in the sarcophagus did not react, it suddenly raised its head and let out a mournful hiss, revealing two sharp fangs in its bloody mouth. Frightened, we immediately stopped moving.
And at this moment, the giant snake actually bypassed the sarcophagus and swam in the direction of the two of us, the palm-sized scales emitting a dazzling light under the white light of our strong flashlights with the twisting of the thick snake body.
"Shine in its eyes!" said the two of us, shining our flashlights at the serpent's large, pale eyes. We all know that sudden exposure to bright light in the eyes of a human or animal can cause temporary blindness. And the reason why I looked at its eyes was also to buy me and King Kong a precious opportunity to escape. As a result, there was no pause at all, you follow yours, I swim mine
As it got closer, I noticed a detail, which was that the snake's eyes were completely white, with no mixed colors. I've seen snake eyes, they're usually black, but this one is white. Do you have "cataracts?" a strange thought popped into my head.
"It could be a blind man. I shouted.
"That's not a run. The adamantine called and ran towards the gap, and I sneered and followed.
We were fast, others were faster, and before we had even run a few steps, the giant snake had jumped between me and the King Kong Cannon, and the huge snake head was facing me, and it kept swallowing its long letters.
"Fight. As he spoke, he picked up the machete and slashed at the huge snake body, and with a "bang" sound, it was like slashing on a hard rock, and he couldn't cut it at all. He stumbled as he was shocked.
Strangely, the giant snake was unaware of the King Kong Cannon's sword, and the huge snake's head was still facing me. Because I got so close, the strong fishy smell in the snake's mouth almost made me faint.
"I'm grass. The King Kong cannon was followed by another slash, and the effect was the same. The 56th Army stabbing edge in my hand could not have been sharper than the machete of the King Kong Cannon, so I didn't move and waited for the right time. I forced myself to calm down and calm down. In times of danger, self-defeat is tantamount to self-defeat.
The King Kong cannon slashed to no avail, threw down the machete, and then grabbed the snake's tail with a roar of rage. It's a pity that his roar this time didn't work, his face was red, and the giant snake didn't move, still staring at me motionlessly.
It's a pity that the snake can't speak, and if it does, I have to ask it, "I wasn't the one who shot you last time, and I didn't cut you today, so why are you staring at me?"
Just as the King Kong cannon was shouting and jumping up and down, the huge triangular head of the giant snake slowly approached me.
Snakes usually attack as fast as they can if they want to hunt, and the snake is probably not trying to kill me when it comes so slowly. I nervously and calmly analyzed, seeing that its movements were very similar to touching the Taoist in the sarcophagus, did it recognize the wrong person, and regarded me as the dead Taoist? Damn, impossible, it was blind, how could it recognize the wrong person
While I was thinking about it, the terrifying head of the snake had reached my side, and I stared at its fanged mouth with snake letters, and muttered to myself, "Don't open your mouth, I'll stab you when you open your mouth." The stabbing in his right hand secretly adjusted his posture so that he could burst into a puncture.
As I expected, the huge head of the snake was just rubbing around my arms and shoulders, with no sign of opening its mouth. "It really recognizes the wrong person" I was ecstatic in my heart, and shouted at the King Kong cannon "Don't move, it doesn't bite me"
King Kong Cannon let go of his blood-drenched hands that were ground by hard snake scales, and stared at the incredible scene in front of him in amazement.
Perhaps disturbed by my sudden noise, the serpent snapped back into its head.
My heart tightened, but fortunately, the serpent slowly brought its head closer to my sweaty arm and touched me gently. I had the courage to raise my left hand and put it on the head of the giant snake, and the incredible scene happened again, the giant snake actually closed its eyes.
"You go down first," I whispered to the vajra cannon with a big mouth like a stupid chicken.
"Huh?" King Kong Cannon was taken aback.
"It treats me like a person in a coffin, it doesn't bite me. But that doesn't mean I won't bite you, go down," I said.
King Kong Cannon wanted to say something, but I didn't let him say "Let me go down!" I was a little anxious, God knows when the boss next to me would turn his face.
The King Kong Cannon moved cautiously, and when he reached the gap, he saw that I didn't move.
I gave him another angry look, and he reluctantly jumped down, with a "bang". The serpent beside me opened its eyes vigilantly. I patted its head again, and it closed its eyes again.
I just stood stupidly, my hands trembling, I didn't shoot, I didn't shoot, I was nervous and wanted to pee, and I grinned and didn't dare to move.
"Old Yu?" King Kong Cannon didn't worry about me, and called me from below.
"It's okay, I'm here," I replied softly. He turned around and began to look carefully at the man who was hunched beside him. Lao Hutou's account is generally accurate, but a closer look reveals that there are three golden spots on the forehead of the giant snake, and there are as many as three snake crowns on the snake's head.
"Old Yu?" called me again.
"I'm here. I promised to reassure him.
When I calmed down, I thought about how to leave, the giant snake doesn't bite me now, but if it finds out that I am a "Xibei" thing, it will not kill me. So, I slowly tried to move a small step, and the serpent opened its eyes again.
This time I didn't care, I didn't care if it understood or not, so I spoke to it: "I'm going out, you go back to sleep." As he spoke, he pointed to the corner where it had been lying cross.
"I'm not leaving, I'm waiting for you to come down. "Damn, the giant snake didn't speak, and the King Kong cannon was connected.
The serpent didn't move, its white eyes staring at me. I reached out and shook it in front of its eyes. There was no reaction at all. It's really blind.
I said one more thing, and then I pulled my leg and wanted to leave. Suddenly, the serpent moved, and it left me, swam towards the sarcophagus, and circled around it.
I ran a few quick steps to the breach, and instead of jumping out immediately, I turned to watch the serpent's strange movements. "Old Yu, come down quickly," King Kong Cannon urged me.
"Don't worry, I'll take a look. "Now that we're basically in a safe zone, the tension has been greatly reduced, and as soon as the tension is gone, curiosity comes up.
"What about that guy?" said King Kong Cannon threw a lit cigarette from his neck.
I caught it and took two sharp puffs, "Go around the coffin." ”
Before I finished a cigarette, I saw that the giant snake had stopped turning, the huge snake's head was facing the sarcophagus, the snake's mouth was wide open, I nervously snuffed out the cigarette and squatted down. Just as I was crouching down and trying to jump out, something strange happened, the huge body of the giant snake kept twitching, the blood basin was open with great difficulty, the expression was extremely painful, the tail kept beating the floor of the tomb, the solid ground was splashed under its beating, and suddenly, a small round object fell from its mouth into the sarcophagus.
The serpent spat out the round object with great relief, and at the same time looked much more languished, raising its huge snake head, its pale eyes fixed in my direction, and "hissing" two feeble lows. After that, it slowly circled around the sarcophagus, and then slowly swam to the corner where it was lying and curled up, not moving.
"King Kong Cannon, come up. ”
"What are you doing, let's go quickly," he was not happy to let the King Kong cannon enter this terrifying place again.
"You tmd come up for me, let's put the lid on the coffin and then go." "I've always felt like it was important, even though I don't know why.
The King Kong Cannon couldn't hold me up, so he snorted and jumped, and I pulled him up with all my might. The first thing this guy did when he came up was to shine a flashlight on the giant snake, and he felt a little relieved to see the giant snake curled up listlessly in the corner.
As we approached the sarcophagus, I shone a flashlight and saw a round bead the size of a pure black pigeon's egg falling on the shoulder of the ancient corpse. I leaned over and picked it up and put it in my trouser pocket. "What's that?" asked King Kong Cannon.
"Snake eggs," I laughed and teased him.
Saying that, the two of us walked to the coffin lid, lifted it up with great difficulty, and walked to the sarcophagus and was about to put it down, I looked down into the coffin, and let go of my hand with a "wow" sound.
"I'm grass, Lao Yu, you take revenge on me" The King Kong cannon was stronger than me, I threw it at this end, and he grabbed his end and didn't let go.
"You put it down and come and see. I waved at him.
King Kong Cannon put down the sarcophagus cover, walked over to take a look, and was also surprised, "Damn, scared me to death, why did it rot so quickly?"
It turned out that when the two of us went to lift the lid of the coffin, the ancient corpse in the coffin quickly dried up and decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the end, only a pair of white bones remained. Even the clothes on the ancient corpses turned into dirt.
"Damn, let's go, the evil sect won't work tonight, I'll have to go crazy if I stay any longer. As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the crown in the sarcophagus. He still muttered, "Can you take it this time?"
"No, I can't take it this time, let's quickly lift it and cover him. I took his hand.
"Why can't you take it, you also took that snake egg just now" The golden Dao crown is very attractive to the Vajra Cannon.
"I did it with the permission of others, and they called at me after the end, which meant that it was given to me. "I'm messing around and being unreasonable.
"Pull it down, you're going to bully me. King Kong muttered with me, lifted the lid of the coffin, and closed it again.
"You go north and take the chessboard and the chess pieces, it's an antique, and it can be sold for a lot of money. Those two jars for the chess pieces are probably still golden. "To distract him, I had to give him something to do.
As soon as he heard the gold, his eyes lit up, and he ran over to clean up his fart.
I shone at the corner where the serpent was coiled, and made a gesture at it, jumping down one after the other.
