Chapter 66 Coffin
Chapter 66 Coffin
Help!Help!
Li Man wailed, she felt something strangling her throat, she couldn't make any sound, and could only passively accept the horrifying sight from the tree.
That terrifying face seemed to have life, approaching her, suddenly something behind her grabbed her back, the mysterious force that restrained her suddenly disappeared, and after she was able to move freely, her first thought was to ask for help. Ask Shang Zhongli for help.
Turning around, looking around from the corner of her eye, there are densely packed corpses under her feet and behind her. Not far away, among the corpses is a corpse that has just died. All internal organs have been ripped out, like A dilapidated doll was hanging on a dead branch, staring right in her direction, after recognizing who that person was, Li Man couldn't help screaming anymore.
"What's wrong with her?" Shang Zhongli frowned displeased.
Tang Gan and Chu Rui looked over and were puzzled by Li Man's head scratching and posing. The other party actually danced in this place, with a happy expression and seemed to be enjoying it very much.
Tang Gan twitched his lips: "What are you doing?"
"Forget it, leave her alone." Shang Zhongli shook his head, this woman is very troublesome.
Tang Gan said embarrassingly: "At this time, the leg does not hurt anymore!" What a strange operation, it can be selected for the annual deceptive behavior award!
This sentence caught Chu Rui's attention. He turned to look at Li Man who was dancing for no reason. The other party's dancing posture was weird as if he was deliberately playing with his body.
Some strange voices came from my ears, the voices were so small that they could hardly be heard without listening carefully.
Turning around to look again, the fruit on the ginseng fruit tree seemed to be a little closer to them.
"Has this fruit been touched?" Tang Gan seemed to be bewitched, curiously leaned over and reached out to pick it.
"No, there is a problem!" Chu Rui shouted, but it was too late, Tang Gan had already picked the ginseng fruit.
Fortunately, Shang Zhongli acted resolutely and quickly, and the array of symbols shouted "Break", only to see the three little black insects being pushed away from them because of the deterrent force of the symbolic light, and everything in front of him changed in an instant.
"Tang Gan, look at your hand!"
Hearing Chu Rui's voice, Tang Gan took a closer look. What he was holding was a ginseng fruit, but a human head, the head of an ugly zombie. The head was biting Tang Gan with its mouth wide open. He was so frightened that he immediately cast a spell on the mouth emitting a foul smell on his head, and with a flick of his hand, the head was thrown far away.
"What the hell?" Tang Qian stepped back a few steps and stood with them, looking around.
The surrounding area is dark and exudes a decaying atmosphere. The big tree in front of me is not a ginseng fruit tree at all. There are black and green zombies hanging on the tree, and the diameter of the tree is about one meter away. The carrion corpses, they seemed to be afraid of the power of the tree or maybe they were obeying the orders of the tree, they stayed outside and did not come in.
Chu Rui found the body of Yan Zhiwei who had been separated at the beginning. It must have been accidentally bumped into here by those zombies. On the other side, they thought that Li Man, who was dancing just now, was gone. His neck was bitten off by a zombie, and he was surrounded by a group of zombies and was eaten. A piece of talisman paper fell on the ground, which was exactly the one that Shang Zhongli gave to Li Man before.
Tang Qian: "It could have been for a moment, but the talisman paper saved Li Man's life, but instead made her fall into deeper fear?"
The corpses hanging on the tree looked very intrusive, and those eyes would turn with their movements. It was really uncomfortable to be stared at all the time.
"Look at what's in that coffin, maybe it will trigger a mission card!"
The three walked over cautiously.
There are several weird bronze statues on both sides of the huge coffin, guarding the central coffin like a guardian. There are those with chicken-billed monkey cheeks that look like thunder, some that look like sheep with bird wings behind their heads, and some that have the head of a horse and the tail of a snake. Yes, there are heads with eight snakes, etc., each of which has a strange appearance, which has never been heard or seen.The most eye-catching thing is the bronze statue standing in the middle of the front. It is a black bird with two heads, six eyes and huge wings. It has a long tail and floats more than two meters long.
"Whose tomb is this? It looks too evil!" Tang Qian couldn't help shaking, his gossip had been clamoring and disturbing since the beginning, and even he was afraid.
"Open it and have a look." Shang Zhongli is a man of action. He told Chu Rui to stand a little behind, and then pressed the edge of the coffin and pushed hard. Hearing a "boom", the coffin lid was pushed open, and he saw the inside of the coffin. After placing the things, Shang Zhongli frowned.
"What's wrong?" Tang Gan hid behind Chu Rui and didn't dare to look over, let alone Chu Rui, his whole body was stiff and his eyes were staring straight.
"Shang. Shang Zhongli?" Chu Rui thought for a while, and finally decided to go there by herself, especially after seeing Shang Zhongli's expression.
Shang Zhongli replied to him immediately: "I'm here, it's okay, come here!" Shang Zhongli stretched out his hand to Chu Rui, and Tang Gan looked at him with tears in his eyes. Is this the slaughter of single dogs?
Chu Rui took a deep breath and walked over, without reaching out to hold Shang Zhongli, Shang Zhongli didn't care, and stubbornly grabbed Chu Rui's arm, Chu Rui pursed her mouth and said nothing.
Inside the coffin lay the bodies of two children.
Two children, a boy and a girl who looked four or five years old, were curled up in a corner, their faces were lifelike, their bodies were taupe, and their skin textures could still be seen clearly. It wasn't obvious, Chu Rui could tell what it was at a glance, and wanted to be suffocated as if being disturbed.
"Child?" Tang Qian opened his mouth wide, "Is this... the boy and girl buried with him?"
Shang Zhongli raised his head: "What do you mean, why are you buried with children?"
"The ancients were superstitious. Buddhism has the theory of causal cycle and six paths of reincarnation. Do you see that Avalokitesvara is accompanied by two virgins, which is what later generations imagined for Avalokitesvara. They think that virgins are pure and have not been polluted by the world. , owns the immortal energy, asks immortals to be accompanied by virgins and virgins, reincarnated and reincarnated will also eliminate all sins, join a rich family, continue to enjoy the wealth and glory, and find two living virgins and virgins to be buried with , Open a small opening from the top of their head, soles of their feet, and back, pour mercury into it, let the mercury flow all over the body and fuse with the blood, so as to ensure that the flesh will not rot.”
Shang Zhongli's expression was serious, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard to imagine such a thing as real.
"It seems that the owner of this tomb is absolutely extraordinary, cruel and superstitious. The reason why the mass grave in front of us has so much resentment is because the owner of the tomb buried tens of thousands of living people with him, and buried them alive with soil when they were alive. Suffocated underground."
"With so much resentment in the tomb, he really feels that his soul will be safe after death." Shang Zhongli said angrily.
Tang Gan shook his head: "They want to continue to be kings in another world after they die, and enjoy support and power. The souls of the living people they took away will also be dispatched by them in another world, so the previous class concept is really very different. It is deeply rooted, you are a slave, you will be a slave all your life, and you will be a slave even after you die!"
Chu Rui looked at the child in the coffin, without the usual sense of fear, only great sadness and gloom.
The corpse in the coffin gave them a shock, and the three of them were silent for a while, but it was Chu Rui who moved first: "See if the task is stuck."
The three of them searched around themselves, but they still couldn't find the mission card.
"It's so strange. It stands to reason that we have already arrived here. How come there is no task card yet?" Tang Gan scratched his head, the more he was like this, the more uneasy he felt.
"I always feel that something is weird, there is a feeling that I can't explain." Chu Rui said, and the sound of "Xi Xi" came from his ear. He frowned, looked into the coffin, and saw the two virgin boys The virgin was looking at him with a weird smile.
Chu Rui took a step back in fright, bumped into Shang Zhongli, turned her head and saw that Shang Zhongli's face was covered with mud, like rotten mud: "What's wrong?"
Chu Rui paled in panic, her temples were throbbing with pain, he shook his head, flashing past events in his mind, every hallucination appeared something that could easily be overlooked, closed his eyes and calmed down, Chu Rui Said: "Shang Zhongli, look for black bugs on my body!"
Shang Zhongli saw Chu Rui's face suddenly changed, his expression was dazed, his face was pale, he just thought something happened to him, when he heard his voice, he immediately searched seriously, and found a little black bug inside Chu Rui's backpack, " I found it, I'll take it down!"
The little black bug was killed, Chu Rui took a deep breath and opened her eyes, Shang Zhongli was the same as usual, without any rotten face, it was indeed a hallucination.
"What's wrong Chu Rui?" Shang Zhongli asked with concern.
"Hei Chong, in addition to eating corpses, has the ability to cause hallucinations. I just had hallucinations again." Chu Rui obviously hadn't recovered yet, breathing heavily.
Shang Zhongli stared at the bugs on the ground, only now did he realize that there had always been a small number of black bugs on the ground, but they were small in size and the light was dim, and the bugs were similar in color to the ground, so it was difficult to find them.
"That little black worm followed us all the way!" Tang Gan said, pointing to the worms on the ground. Although small, they are super disgusting, and a bunch of them would be too much.
As soon as this thought flashed through Tang Gan's mind, he saw a clear noise coming from a distance. Tens of thousands of black insects gathered at the roots of the big tree and burrowed into the soil, forming small hills. The direction of the tree is also turbulent.
"What are they doing?" Tang Gan yelled.
Shang Zhongli's expression froze: "Not good!"
As soon as the words fell, the bottom of the big tree was shaken, and the fruits on the tree fell one by one. After all the zombies landed, the big tree lost the green light surrounding its surface and became dim. At the same time, the surrounding zombies were no longer afraid The power of the tree rushed towards the three of them with its teeth and claws.
[The author has something to say]: Guess what is going on with the task card (?)?
