Chapter 157: Stone Spirit
I know the situation is not good, I was going to set up the equipment to subdue the zombies first, and then open the bronze coffin, but no one thought that there is a linking set in this chamber, and there is a wooden wrapped tomb hidden underneath, the force of the bronze coffin falling down was too great, it made the chain and the locks loose, and the mysterious bronze mirror also fell down, if the zombie inside crawls out first, the situation will turn around drastically for us, and it would be very unfavorable.
At this time, my blood rushed up, I have no time to think again, holding that copper mirror, to the fat man and Shirley Yang called: “You guys quickly find the tape out.” As I spoke, I had already leaped into the wooden coffin below (a burial chamber built with wood is called a wooden coffin, not the kind of coffin commonly referred to as a coffin).
I almost twisted my ankle as soon as I landed on the ground, those rectangular thick wood, have been rotten through, a step on the sink a piece of, burst upward black water, that cold smoke fire is still burning, the firelight, only to see the gap in the copper outer coffin, is the layer of cold wood coffin board, that coffin board lid has broken two big holes, from which reveals the several circles of long fingernails, those fingernails are white and very sharp, due to the too long, the fingernails are playing up the curve! The sound we heard in the tomb was probably the nails scratching the lid of the copper coffin.
I do not care about the ankle pain, also have no intention to carefully appreciate the shape of the nails, immediately copied the hands of the bronze mirror, pressed into the groove behind the bronze coffin, the body jumped to the lid of the bronze coffin, I do not know where to generate so much strength, even with his hands and feet down to the force of the pressure, actually will be turned upside down lid, hard to re-buckle up.
Shirley Yang immediately jumped into the “wooden coffin”, a roll of tape in my hands, she was half a step late, did not see the things in the coffin, then asked me: “What’s inside?”
I side of the tape layer by layer firmly affixed to the bronze mirror, while she said: “What else can there be, nothing more than a walking corpse, I do not know why this bronze mirror can suppress it, it seems that once you take away, its nails will be miso miso rapid growth.”
Fatty also jumped down, hearing my words, he immediately said, “I knew this mirror was a good thing, when we retreat, find a way to go along with it, resolutely not leaving a single blade of grass to the enemy.”
I saw this bronze coffin was re-suppressed, the material is not a big problem for the time being, looked up at the upper chamber, all the black rotten wood wooden coffin, the height of less than three meters, inside the seepage of water is very serious, moisture choking, originally wanted to let the fat man to stay on the top of the receiver, but it seems that below, if there is any failure, directly climb up not a problem, and to be underneath the opening of the coffin, the three together more or less can be a caretaker, then to the fat man and the Shirley Yang said: “the corner of the wooden coffin there is a coffin, I do not know whether it is used to contain the king of dedication, this tomb everywhere there is a mystery, we raise the coffin when the material, be careful then a.”
Said the three came to the coffin in the darkness emitted fluorescent light in front of the dark damp “wooden coffin” in the narrow, in order to act conveniently, we opened the tactical spotlight on the mountaineering helmet, only to see the coffin was a few falling square wood pressure, I am most worried about is that these bad wood will collapse at any time, buried us alive underneath, so hands in those collapsed wood, I am most worried about is that these bad wood will collapse at any time, buried us alive underneath, so hands in those collapsed wood, we are not sure whether it is used to contain the King of Xian, we should be careful. So hand in those collapsed wood, looking for two or three still strong, propped up in the bronze coffin smashed leakage gap, to bear the weight.
I work when I think: these square-shaped wood, also known as “wooden square”, originally layer by layer pressure, built into the title of the structure, seems very close, I do not know why rotten to this point, so that should be the yellow color of the “wooden square”, have become black rotten, according to this “King Xian’s”. According to say that this “dedicate the king’s tomb” is a place of anger rounded not diarrhea fairy cave, this cave, and how will be eroded into this way, and there is a corpse gas rushing to the sky, so on all even appeared “black pig over the river in heaven” of the black star of the sky, and regardless of those, but the bronze coffin in the The bronze coffin with signs of necrophilia ancient corpse, is very unreasonable, it seems that the deepest part of this thousand years old tomb, must be hiding something horrible.
As we quickly clean up, was rotten wood square cover the ancient coffin gradually presented, I use my hand to wipe off those rotten wood residue and mud and water, the blue fluorescence on the ancient coffin is more obvious, the whole coffin body smooth like a mirror, like a piece of blue ice from the depths of the sea of ice, shining with a fascinating luster, the fat man sighed in admiration: “Fuck his grandma’s, how is this coffin a more than a valuable! This is …… what is this made of? It’s jade? Crystal? Or ice?” Said and stroked, love.
I shook my head and said, “I don’t know, when I was an engineer, I dug so many years of stone, when I visited the ground survey team, I saw more ore slices than I can count, but I have never seen this kind of stone, it seems that it’s not ice, in addition to being very slippery, it’s not cold.”
Shirley Yang was attracted by this strange ancient coffin, always looking carefully, only then spoke up and said, “It’s blue stone essence rock, or a variant of crystal, only in the underground superimposed caverns will be formed.”
Stone essence in the ancient records, is a stone only in the valley near the Underworld, legend has it that there is a kind of stone mill made of stone essence in the hell, all the great crimes and evil people, after falling into the underworld, inevitably be that stone mill research and grinding, underground there is a black dog, waiting to stick out his tongue to lick those who have been crushed out of the meat sauce, the rest of the broken meat is transformed into flies, mosquitoes and insects, and in the world to be swatted, and will never have a day of transcendental life.
Of course, that belongs to superstition, but one thing is certain, this blue “stone essence” although dazzling, but this thing is not too auspicious, not suitable for coffins, not to mention used to collect the bones of nobles.
It seems that this is definitely a “ghost coffin” from the underworld, what is the purpose? Why hide in the chamber under this gloomy and damp “wooden coffin”, not sealed not tree “wooden coffin” in the Western Zhou around very common, but to the Qin and Han Dynasties, has been rarely used, we have found in the chamber of the ten “longevity candles! We have already found ten “longevity candles” in the tomb, this “ghost coffin” in front of us will be corresponding to the bones of one of the ten corpses? There are too many questions, and I have no clue.
Shirley Yang looked at the bronze coffin behind him and said: “The coffins in the king’s tomb are extremely rare, puzzling, the more so, the more people feel as if the abyss repeated ice, we must find a breakthrough point, completely unveiled buried in the tomb of the king of dedication of the secret.”
I said to Shirley Yang and Fatty: “It’s better to hurt his ten fingers than to break one of his fingers, so let’s take the approach of breaking through each one of them, see the coffin, see the coffin, see the lumber, let’s do it, hang up the tripwire, and see if the ghost coffin is the king of dedication or not.”
Fatty immediately rolled up his arms and sleeves: “I’m too good at these hooks to raise coffins and make a fortune, and then in my sleep is always practicing, not afraid of a thousand tricks will be afraid of a trick familiar, you two go to install the tripwire, open the coffin of the work, the fat master will be a person all wrapped up.”
I patted the fat man’s shoulder: “Good commander Wang, the sea of the sea, Fang Xian heroes, but remember, with a red heart, must do two-handed preparation, touching the Ming ware at the same time also beware of necrophilia, both hands have to grasp, both hands have to be hard, in addition to the ancient coffins in the corpse gas, remember to check in advance the gas mask, and do not go with the last time in the Northeast like …… forgot to wear gloves.”
After I instructed the fat man, I split up and found three red threads that had been dipped in vermilion sand, Shirley Yang was always curious about zombies, so she asked me, “Old Hu, why would a zombie be afraid of red vermilion sand.”
I said to Shirley Yang: “This kind of thing to ask the fortune-telling blind only know, I’m not too clear, but I guess the cinnabar is not much use, the principle is that, with the rope to stop the coffin mouth, inside the body stiff can not bend, arms and legs can not be lifted up, so that it can not come out, I have only encountered before was placed under the formation of the corpse of the demon, and that thing do not know and zombies compared to, which is more powerful. I don’t know which one is more powerful compared to zombie, but it looks like we must meet with zombie today, because we have to open the bronze coffin later, as for whether there is any zombie in the ghost coffin in front of us, it’s hard to say, anyway, let’s be prepared for it, and stop it in advance.”
Speaking, I have “trip wire” ready, Shirley Yang is according to the “wooden coffin” in the location of the two coffins, in the corner of the two candles, I raised his hand to the fat man signaling, the fat man immediately with sharp “Yin probe claw”, scrape off the seal in the “ghost coffin” interface of the Dan paint, the blue “ghost coffin” material is a kind of rare special stone, if you want to categorize, can be classified as a sarcophagus with jade coffins and so on, this kind of sarcophagus is a kind of stone, this kind of sarcophagus can be classified as a stone sarcophagus. If you want to classify, it can be classified with jade coffins and other sarcophagus, this kind of sarcophagus without coffin nails, are stone mortise and tenon closed, the “probing yin claw”, as a multi-functional Swiss army knife, there is a section is specifically used to pull out the mortise and tenon.
“Ghost coffin” a total of seven mortise and tenon, the head of a, three on each side, the bottom is not, the fat man did not have fun, one after another in a few moments, will be that the lid pried open, the lid and a layer of fish glue bonding, has long been dead, can only be used to “probing yin claws” The wording of the needle, deep into a little bit of grinding.
Finally heard the fat man called: “got it.” Shirley Yang and I wait for the opportunity in the side, see almost, immediately put three cinnabar “trip rope”, stop on the coffin, the lid is open, “wooden coffin” in the visibility, did not see a decline, which means that there is no corpse gas in the coffin, I said a strange, could it be that there is no corpse, or ghost coffin. There are no bones, or the ghost coffin structure is not strict, after the corpse dissolution of the dirty gas are dissipated along the coffin seams, I hurriedly go to look at the “ghost coffin” inside.
A look, then put down the heart, there is indeed the coffin owner’s body, the coffin lying a male corpse, neck, wrapped in white brocade, can only see the head, the body is relatively well-preserved, and even the facial muscles have not been spoiled atrophy, said it is lifelike is not too much, but his death, really horrible, two eye sockets sunk deep into the formation of the two black with a red hole, the eyeballs have been taken off, due to the five views The eyeballs had been removed, due to the lack of eyes in the five views, it looked extremely shocking and horrible.
I was about to take a closer look, the fat man has used the “corpse wrapping rope”, set the coffin owner’s head, pulled it up from the coffin, raised his hand left and right, smacked the corpse seven or eight big slaps.
Shirley Yang and I look silly, thinking that this fat guy which tendons and wrong, could it be that the evil spirits are not? Rush to stop him, ask him what he wants to do in the end.
Fat face covered with a gas mask, I can not see his face, only to hear his inexplicable rhetorical question: “You do not see it?”
