Chapter 37 [Sarcophagus]
Sure enough, just after Qing Ming finished speaking, there was another small creaking sound in front of him, and a large group of dark brown corpses came back and forth like a tide, seeming to swallow up all of us outsiders and bury us here.
Because I have stepped on some bones in this passage. There are no mechanisms in this passage, and there must be small holes chewed on the bones. If it were not an accident, they should have been bitten to death by these corpses.
My scalp is going crazy. If all these corpses swarm up, no matter how well-dressed you are, they will all be eaten up in a matter of seconds. But with Qing Ming here, I feel relieved.
, because Qing Ming gives me a very stable feeling and will not do anything that I am not sure about. Since he is leading the way, firstly, he is familiar with this place, and secondly, he has someone to rely on. He is the Yuandao Sect.
He is one of the best beings in the world and possesses all the secret arts. Even if a more outrageous being appears, he should be able to deal with it.
"There is a spacious secret room not far ahead. These corpses ran out of it. As soon as the corpse king dies, these corpses will disperse on their own. Qing Ming, you can't let it go this time.
Well, if these corpses are allowed to leave the ancient tomb, the villagers in Pingshan will suffer."
Shu Jianguo, who was behind me, shouted at Qing Ming at the top of his lungs.
Qing Ming ran up to the corpses without saying a word, held up the mysterious spell with both hands, opened his lips slightly, and let out a very strange scream. This scream was very similar to the voice of a night owl, but it changed extremely.
Quickly, they started to rush. When the corpses heard the scream, they immediately ran back. In the blink of an eye, they ran away without a trace. Li Mengqi had to mark the surrounding cave walls every few times she ran.
They were looking for something, and they fell behind us a few times, but they quickly caught up.
As expected by Qing Ming, the secret passage we originally walked was only as high as a person and about one meter wide. After driving away these corpses, we suddenly saw another secret room in front of us. This secret room
It was twenty to thirty meters long and wide. It was very big. I couldn't see clearly with the searchlight at first, but after a while, the corners of the four ancient tombs in the southeast, west and west suddenly lit up with candlelight. I looked up and found that it was Li Mengqi.
Candles are being placed.
When these four candles were lit, I could barely distinguish what was inside the tomb. There was a huge sarcophagus in the center of the tomb. There were many strange patterns engraved on the surface of the sarcophagus. These patterns should have been enshrined by a few ethnic groups more than a thousand years ago.
A kind of flower and tree. If you look carefully at the top of the stone coffin, there are patterns of the sun, moon and stars engraved on it. But what is very strange is that the sun and moon are in the same sky, and it is covered with flames. Flames
Below are humans and beasts running around, but what is very strange is that there is also a sarcophagus in the painting. Some flowers and trees are simply painted on the sarcophagus. The difference between the sarcophagus and the sarcophagus below is that the upper sarcophagus is open.
There was a woman in strange clothes sitting inside. The woman raised her head and opened her mouth, revealing two pointed canine teeth. The surrounding ground was covered with cracks, and the ground was cracked.
"Huh? This picture is so strange. The sun and moon appear at the same time, fire falls from the sky, and the ground is thousands of miles away. Who is this woman?"
I was slightly shocked and asked.
"Zonghanba!"
Qing Ming said with a somewhat hoarse voice.
"Hanban!"
I took a breath. Hanba belongs to the highest level of zombies, because I have read in the ancient book "Zi Buyu" that zombies can be divided into five levels: one is "white zombie". After the corpse is placed in the corpse raising ground, the other is After the moon, the body begins to grow furry white hair. This type of zombie moves slowly and is very easy to deal with. It is extremely afraid of sunlight, fire, water, chickens, dogs, and even humans;
The second is "black stiffness". White stiffness is like eating cattle and sheep essence and blood. After a few years, the whole body will shed its white hair and be replaced by a few inches of black hair. At this time, it is still afraid of sunlight and fire, and its movements are slower. But at the beginning, he was not afraid of chickens and dogs. Generally speaking, black zombies would avoid people when they saw them, and they would not dare to fight with people directly. They would often suck human blood while people are sleeping (black zombies and white zombies are collectively called "black and white zombies").
The third type is "jumping corpse". After a few decades of sucking blood, the black zombie loses its black hair and starts to jump mainly. It jumps fast and far. It is afraid of the sun, not afraid of people or any domestic animals;
The fourth type of "flying corpse" evolved from jumping corpses to absorb the moonlight. Flying corpses are often zombies that are more than a hundred years old or even hundreds of years old. They move quickly, jump from house to tree, jump like flying, and suck the essence without stopping. leave trauma;
The fifth type of zombie is almost a demon, and is called "Ban", also known as "Drought Zombie", "Fire Zombie" and "Dry Zombie". After hundreds of years of absorbing the soul, the flying zombie's appearance becomes more and more ferocious. It can be said that it is a Rakshasa with a green face and fangs. He can also change his body shape and appearance to confuse people, and he can slay dragons in the dry world and seduce the god of plague in the dry world. This is how the plague spreads in the dry world.
If that's the case, I'm afraid the Hanba in this sarcophagus has thousands of years of experience, and the combined number of us wouldn't be enough to fill her teeth.
Although this is a legend, I think that although the demon's ability is not as good as that of Hanba, I'm afraid it's not far behind. If I really provoke such a big enemy, I'm afraid my life will be at risk.
But what surprised me was that there seemed to be some people worshiping Hanba on the top, and they looked very respectful to Hanba. I was about to ask.
Li Mengqi suddenly walked gently to the sarcophagus, knocked on the lid of the coffin, and then put her ear to the body of the coffin. After a while, she stood up straight and said, "Don't worry, the guys inside have already left. It's just an empty coffin now, but inside it is..."
Before she finished speaking, the sarcophagus suddenly started to move slightly. We stared at the sarcophagus without daring to speak out. The surrounding area suddenly became quiet. Only the weak candle was beating slightly in the dark space, as if it would be extinguished at any time. .
I silently thought to myself, be sure not to put it out. There are rules for Faqiu Zhonglang to open coffins in search of treasures. In advance, candles are lit in the east, west, north, and south directions of the tomb, and then the coffins are opened to touch for gold. There are some dead people at first. The ghost of a person lingers on. If a candle is extinguished, he should immediately put the things back, kowtow three times in the direction of the coffin, and then leave. If he does not leave, he will be attacked by the ghost.
But when I thought about this, I was a little stunned. Although Qing Ming and Shu Jianguo couldn't say they knew this place thoroughly, they should still be very clear. This ancient tomb was only known to be from the late Ming Dynasty, and the contents inside had long been removed. After people searched everything, it was difficult to tell who the owner of the tomb was. The only thing that made Qing Ming sure was that the main tomb chamber should not have been stolen. In this case, the sarcophagus should be empty and there should be nothing inside. But now I I really heard the sound of the stone coffin moving. Have the candles around it been blown out? What is inside the coffin? I glanced at the three people around me and found that they also had their brows furrowed and had no idea at all. .
Qing Ming winked at me, with a familiar questioning look in his eyes. I shook my head and shrugged, indicating that I didn't have any bad feelings in my body, because if there was really a ghost, my body would become
