Chapter 63 Scratches
Chen Yulou lifted up the ever-burning lantern on the left, and heard the sound of the stone door turning, revealing a space behind the black Buddha.
The space was pitch dark and no one could see clearly, so Partridge Whistle threw a phosphorescent tube into it to illuminate the space.
The space is not big, there is only a blood-red coffin lying horizontally inside, and there is nothing around it.
"Using blood wood as a coffin, in line with the feng shui of this place, the things in the coffin are not easy to mess with!" Jin Abacus frowned and said worriedly.
Seeing the coffin, Ye Bai also frowned. This was different from the plot he was familiar with.
In the original plot, there is only one treasure box containing the Dragon Bone Book in this palace, so why is there a coffin?
And judging from the system map, the silver treasure chest he has been obsessed with is in this red coffin.
"Commander, do you want to enter this tomb or not?" The people in Xiling behind him also hesitated a bit.
"Enter!"
Chen Yulou nodded decisively and stepped into the main tomb chamber first.
Everyone then followed in, leaving only five or six people watching outside.
The golden abacus circled the coffin and observed it for a while, then wiped it with his fingers, and couldn't help but said: "This is not an ordinary blood wood coffin. I'm afraid it was poured with blood for a long time after the tomb owner was buried.
.”
"What's the point of this?" Chen Yulou asked puzzledly.
"This is raising blood corpses!" Partridge Whistle replied, "There are similar records of moving mountains. Generally, blood corpses are buried on geomantic treasures and are formed due to some special reasons. Once the blood corpses are formed,
It is extremely difficult to deal with. The blood corpse has extremely strong attack power and great strength, and it contains highly poisonous substances. Living people will die if they come in contact with it."
Jin Abacus took over the conversation again and said: "But ordinary Feng Shui treasure land cannot raise blood corpses, so some people have tried to use blood to raise corpses. However, this method is a trick, and I have never heard that blood corpses can be raised."
Cultivate success.”
After listening to what the two said, Chen Yulou also knew that there might be something evil hidden in the coffin, or it might just be a skeleton.
At this moment, we can't just leave this coffin unmoving. After all, the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book and the others haven't found it yet. Depending on the situation, it's very likely that it's in this blood coffin.
Whether good or bad, good or bad, all depends on God's will.
Chen Yulou muttered something silently and was about to prepare to open the restaurant when he saw Jin Abacus lighting a small candle in the southeast corner.
"The rules of gold-making, don't be weird! Don't be weird!"
Seeing everyone staring at him, Jin Abacus said angrily.
"Senior, just don't lure that insect out." Chen Yulou warned without saying anything else.
"Don't worry, don't worry, my candle is small and thin, and the flame is weak and short, so it won't be a problem."
Chen Yulou arranged for four people to stand at the four corners of the coffin, tied them to the coffin board with ropes, and used iron bars to pry on the ropes.
Everyone covered their mouths and noses again, and the four people worked together under Chen Yulou's command.
With a creaking sound, the blood coffin was opened with a small opening, and a strange smell suddenly emitted.
It smells like mold that has been rotting for many years.
Seeing that the candle was not extinguished, Chen Yulou said: "Open it again!"
The four people used their strength to lift the entire coffin board, revealing the contents inside the coffin.
"It turns out to be an empty coffin!" Jin Abacus was the first to poke his head in and couldn't help but say.
Ye Bai also looked around and saw that there was indeed nothing in the coffin except his silver treasure chest.
Even the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book that should exist is nowhere to be found.
"How could it be empty?" Partridge Whistle couldn't help but be disappointed.
"It's good to be empty, so as not to encounter evil things, and it will be too late to run away." Jin Abacus said happily, anyway, it has nothing to do with him whether there are good things in the coffin, and it is better to have more things than less things.
At this time, a brother who was unloading the mountain pointed at the coffin board and exclaimed: "Commander, there is something going on here."
Everyone quickly looked around and saw that the inside of the coffin board turned aside was covered with scratches from fingernails. It seemed that the person inside the coffin was still alive when the coffin was sealed.
When a living person is sealed in a closed and dark space, it is inevitable that he will struggle to his death.
Moreover, the scratches were deep into the wood and it was messy, showing how desperate the person locked in this coffin was.
The tomb fell into silence, the weak candlelight kept flickering, and everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
The first thing that everyone thinks of is not the feelings of the living person in the coffin, but if there is a person sealed in the coffin, where is that person?
How come this coffin is empty?
At least there should be some skeletons.
"There's something evil about this place." Jin Abacus rubbed his arms and felt goosebumps rising.
"Perhaps the sound of this man's fingernails alerted people outside at the time, and he was later rescued, so the coffin was empty." Chen Yulou explained helplessly.
Everyone nodded, this is the only explanation that makes sense at the moment.
As for another explanation, it is that the person in the coffin ran out on his own, but the blood wood coffin was so tightly sealed that it could not be opened by human power from the inside.
"Looking at the traces of these nails, they seem to be those of a woman. It seems that the owner of this tomb is not Li Yuanhao." Jin Abacus stepped forward and looked at the traces on the coffin board again, and speculated.
"It doesn't matter whether it is or not now. Since the coffin is empty, there is no need for us to stay here." Chen Yulou raised his head and looked at the layout of the main tomb chamber. He always felt that this place was small and depressing, making people want to
go out.
"Brother, let me see if there is a mezzanine mechanism in this coffin." Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Ye Bai wanted to find a reason to go to the coffin to take away the treasure box. Just now, everyone was staring at the coffin, but he was not easy to take.
Take action in front of everyone.
"That's fine, don't make any omissions." Chen Yulou nodded.
Ye Bai turned over and stepped into the coffin. He first took away the treasure box and then knocked randomly on the bottom of the coffin.
"Dong dong dong!"
There was indeed nothing unusual about the sound, but for some reason, Ye Bai always felt palpitated with the sound of this thumping sound.
It seemed as if something was staring at me.
But when I hit it carefully, the feeling disappeared again.
"What's wrong, third brother, did you find anything?" Chen Yulou asked.
"It's okay, the sound is solid and there is no interlayer." Ye Bai shook his head, guessing that he was hallucinating.
Seeing that there was still a silver treasure chest waiting for him to open in the system, Ye Bai was a little impatient and immediately stopped paying attention to these things.
After everyone left the main tomb, the dark space was silent, with only the faint candlelight shining.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the candle was suddenly extinguished.
...
By the time everyone left the tomb, it was already night.
After working for a long time, everyone was tired and hungry. Chen Yulou found a good shelter from the wind not far from the tomb and arranged for everyone to camp and cook.
Ye Bai also took advantage of his free time to open the silver treasure chest.
"Silver Treasure Chest: Rat Talisman (remnant) - a disposable item. Originated from the world of Jackie Chan's Adventures, the Rat Talisman represents the power of life and can give static energy to non-living things.
It will have its own consciousness, please use it with caution."
This silver treasure chest actually contains a rat charm!
Ye Bai was also a little surprised. In the world of Jackie Chan's Adventures, the Rat Talisman, one of the twelve abilities of the Holy Lord, is definitely not weak.
Ye Bai still remembered that the rat charm attached to the statues of the gods could actually allow the statues to possess some of the gods' abilities, which was considered a buggy item.
It's a pity that the charm he got from the silver treasure chest is a incomplete disposable item, and according to the instructions for use: the creature given life will have its own consciousness.
In this case, the use of this rat charm needs to be carefully considered.
Otherwise, it would be bad if the thing that was given life comes back to bite you.
While eating, Chen Yulou discussed the return trip. It had been more than three months since he set off from Hunan this time. If the return time was included, it would probably take half a year.
Chen Yulou planned to take part of the treasure back first and bury the other part nearby, waiting for the second troop to arrive before carrying it back.
But the partridge whistle was silent, and one person was making firewood with firewood, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ye Bai and Chen Yulou also knew that they had not found the Dragon Bone Book during their trip to Partridge Post, and they were worried about the curse on themselves again.
"Second brother, don't be discouraged. Although the Dragon Bone Book has not been found, haven't there been new clues? Doesn't Senior Jin still have news about the Dragon Bone Book?"
"Ah?" Jin Abacus was chewing dry food. When he saw that he was being talked about, he swallowed the food and said: "Dragon Bone... I do know the news about the Heavenly Book. Speaking of which, this is the same thing I want to explore recently.
It’s related to the big tomb.”
Jin Abacus took a sip of water and continued: "You all know Li Chunfeng, the great Feng Shui master of the Tang Dynasty. This person also once searched for the whereabouts of the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book and has deciphered the words on the Heavenly Book. As long as his tomb is found, there must be something inside.
There are clues to the Dragon Bone Book."
Hearing this, Partridge Whistle was quite excited. He raised his hands and asked, "I hope senior can tell me the specific location of Li Chunfeng's tomb?"
"Don't worry, don't worry, his tomb is in Gulan County, Shaanxi Province. Give me some time, and I will definitely be able to find his tomb."
"Senior made a bet with the news about the Dragon Bone Book before, but now we don't even know the specific location of the tomb. Isn't this bet too casual?" Chen Yulou couldn't help but said.
"What do you know, kid? Li Chunfeng is not a simple person. His Feng Shui skills are much better than my master Zhang San Lianzi. How can his tomb be found so easily?"
"The senior wants to compensate my third brother, we can't let him suffer." Chen Yulou refused.
"Compensation, no matter what kind of compensation, I let him win away my best treasure, and now I still owe him a hundred thousand oceans. I don't have anything to pay back." Jin Abacus raised his beard and spread his hands.
After thinking about it, Jin Abacus said again: "How about if this is not the case, let me accept your third brother as my apprentice and pass on this golden mantle to your third brother as compensation?"
