Chapter 54 The Living Man in the Coffin
The hole was between an extremely narrow mountain road and a cliff. The hole was very small, and Lu Xin tightened his body before he could barely squeeze in.
The tomb passage was not steep, but very deep. According to the speed and time of the decline, Lu Xin should have forty or fifty meters from the entrance to the tomb chamber. In other words, the entire ancient tomb was built with hollowed out the mountain, and its location was probably in the center of the entire mountain.
The people in Yishui Pavilion were completely gone. After Lu Xin went to the tomb, he found that he did not bring any lighting tools and did not even have a fire stick on his body. The surroundings were pitch black and he could not see his five fingers. Lu Xin could only touch the rock walls on both sides and walked forward.
"This is different from what is displayed in the tomb robber movie. There is no light source at all, and there is not even a firefly!"
Lu Xin didn't know where the corridor under her feet would lead, but ordinary people were in a completely dark environment and must be nervous. After walking for about ten minutes, a trace of light finally appeared in front of her. Lu Xin quickly slowed down, then squatted down, and approached the light source bit by bit.
After reaching the corner, Lu Xin did not show his head, but hid in the dark place and peeked in. In front of him was a tomb room with an area of about fifty or sixty square meters. It was rectangular, with knives and axes carved, and the four sides were very regular. At the end of the tomb room, there was a black coffin, which was made of unknown material. The people from Yishui Pavilion stood around the coffin, and the light source came from the talisman floating above the heads of the six people.
In addition, there are no burial objects in the tomb. There are no gold, silver and treasures as imagined, and no magical weapons. Apart from the particularity hidden inside the mountain, the entire tomb is no different from the tombs of ordinary people.
Not only Lu Xin felt that way, but even the people in Yishui Pavilion put away their previous excitement.
"Brother, this is not a suspicious tomb again, right? Qin Xiao was a senior disciple of Guan Lu, and was deeply trusted by Emperor Wen of Wei and was named Duke. There was not even a burial object in this broken place, so how could it be his tomb?"
"Don't worry, you can't be wrong. Before Qin Xiao died, his cultivation had reached the level of divine realm. How could such a master care about gold, silver and jewelry? Don't underestimate this coffin. This thing is forged from meteorite iron outside the sky, and it is invincible and strong. Even Emperor Wen couldn't take it for himself. As long as I find a way to open the lid of the coffin, I will know the truth in the coffin."
"Okay, then I'll listen to Junior Brother Cao. However, this coffin is integrated, and the lid and body of the coffin are bonded by some kind of force, without any gap. If you want to open it, you must join forces and cast the six-member mantra of gods and ghosts. Junior brothers, let's start!"
When the "Senior Brother" said this, his hands began to change the seal, and the talisman above his head stopped burning instantly, and turned into a blood-red color. It was like a red stone floating in the air. The other five people also began to cast spells. For a moment, the entire tomb was shrouded in strange spells.
About half a minute later, the talismans above the heads of the six people began to merge and gradually evolved into a gossip. The phantoms were heavy, shaking from time to time, making noises, like whispers of ghosts and gods. The six people in Yishui Pavilion suddenly closed their eyes and recited spells at the same time.
"Rat and ox are combined, tiger and pig are combined, rabbit and dog are combined, dragon and chicken are combined, snake and monkey are combined... The world is mysterious and yellow, and the six-combination is prosperous, open!"
After six loud shouts, the blood-red gossip suddenly burst out with a thousand-foot light, all shining on the lid of the coffin. Immediately afterwards, the black coffin trembled violently and made golden sounds.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the coffin lid was instantly lifted. The six people in Yishui Pavilion retreated one after another, and the magic power that had penetrated through the air disappeared in an instant. Cao Fu was the first to come back to his senses and rushed directly to the coffin to look. But the next second, his face suddenly changed and he collapsed on the ground in fear.
"Junior Brother Cao, what's wrong?"
"Teacher, senior brother... what's inside is, yes, it's a living person!"
Cao Fu was obviously frightened and pointed at the coffin with trembling all over. He had always been calm and composed, but he couldn't even say clearly at this time. Lu Xin suddenly opened his mouth wide, and Cao Fu's reaction was completely different from his previous temperament. What scene did he see that he became so shocked?
Seeing this, the "Senior Brother" frowned and approached the coffin step by step. He looked inside the coffin with great caution, but this glance made his face pale and he immediately took a breath of cold air.
"Impossible! The coffin lid is obviously closed. Not to mention humans, even an ant can't survive. But he still has breathing."
The "Big Brother" was also scared to death. Seeing this, the other few leaned against the rock wall and looked at each other, their faces very ugly. The group of people were all Onmyoji, but they were scared like this. Lu Xin, who was hiding around the corner, felt itchy and wanted to go up and take a look.
The tomb chamber suddenly became extremely quiet, and everyone in Yishui Pavilion was silent, and only used eyes to communicate. After a few minutes, Cao Fu took a deep breath and looked at the black coffin again.
"Senior brother, have you seen what he was holding just now?"
"Well... it's like an inkstone, the color of topaz seems to be transparent."
"It seems to be right. It's very likely that Si Tian Buzhou Yan. Everyone, no matter who this person is, no matter why he is in the coffin. Since he has found the treasure, he will never be killed and returned."
"No, senior brother, let me do it."
When Cao Fu said that, Liu Shan suddenly became confident. Seeing that the elder brother nodded, he immediately took two steps forward. There was still no movement in the coffin, Liu Shan immediately sneered and let go. He walked to the black coffin and looked inside. There was indeed a big rosy person lying in the coffin. He was a man in a water-green robe. He looked twenty-seven or eight years old, with long hair scattered, very elegant. His hands were flat on his abdomen, and he held a topaz inkstone, breathing smoothly, as if he had just fallen asleep.
Apart from this, there is nothing else in the coffin.
"Hmph, we are not even afraid of ghosts, so why are we afraid of living people? Senior brother, this person has unknown origin, so he is pretending to be a ghost here. I think, kill him first."
"Don't move first, things are strange, let's figure it out first! Brother Cao, you only know the specific location of Qin Xiao's tomb. How did this person come in? How did he lie in this coffin?"
"What does senior brother mean? Are you suspected that I am pretending to be a ghost?"
Cao Fu raised his eyebrows and walked out of the darkness, and anger appeared on his face. Seeing this, the "big brother"'s eyes changed slightly, and he seemed to be a little afraid, but his voice eased a lot.
"Junior brother, don't worry, I'm not saying that you are pretending to be a ghost. But the news about Qin Xiao's tomb is something you have obtained from other places. I suspect that someone is secretly planning. Junior brother, don't forget your identity and Prime Minister Cao's direct bloodline. You are the only one left in this world!"
"So that's it, senior brother, don't worry. The source of the news is absolutely safe. And from the outside, there is no trace of passiveness at all. This person seems to have grown out of thin air from the ground. Humph, I want to see who he is!"
Cao Fu had obviously come back from the shock, and Liu Shan was ahead, so he became much more courageous. He walked forward and back, circled around the black coffin, and then stared at the face of the man in the coffin.
The other people surrounded him, and at the same time, Liu Shan had already reached out to the inkstone. Before neither the "Senior Brother" nor Cao Fu had time to stop him, just as Liu Shan's finger was about to touch the inkstone, a green light suddenly burst out from the man in the coffin, and Liu Shan was instantly blown away. Only a "scream" was heard. Looking at this time, Liu Shan's hands were broken. It seemed that two palms were cut off from his wrist, dripping blood.
"No, this person has magic power, everyone retreats!"
"Hmph, senior brother, why are you still going to retreat now? You and I will cast spells together and burn him to ashes!"
Cao Fu didn't look at Liu Shan at all, his face was ferocious, and he stared at the inkstone in the coffin. The rest of the people were roared by him and their faces were sunk. The next second, the five people sacrificed a talisman at the same time and threw it into the coffin.
Puff!
The fire instantly covered the entire coffin, and Lu Xin, who was hiding in the distance, could feel a wave of heat coming towards him. Onmyoji used Taoist true fire to activate the talismans, and the flames that changed were extremely powerful. Under this high temperature combustion, not to mention the body, even modern steel would melt quickly.
The flames burned for two minutes before they went out. Just as the people from Yishui Pavilion were about to take a step to surround them, a "yawn" sounded in the coffin. Then, a man in a water-green robe sat up with his mouth covering his mouth.
"Where are you from the tomb robbers? It's not a good thing to disturb people's dreams."
The man seemed to have been sleeping for a long time, and he was still yawning after sitting up. Then he stretched his waist, as if he was too lazy to open his eyes. The inkstone that was originally held in his hand had disappeared at this time.
Seeing this, Cao Fu's eyes flashed with cold light, indicating that everyone should not be afraid.
"Hmph, I want to ask you! This tomb is the place where our ancestors sleep forever. Who are you? How dare you sleep in this coffin?"
"Oh, the tomb of the ancestors? Let me tell you a fortune... Well? His bloodline is actually flowing on you. It's interesting. It's really interesting to see Prime Minister Cao today, hahahahahaha."
The man pinched his fingers, and although he still didn't open his eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he seemed very happy. When Cao Fu heard this, his face suddenly changed. As soon as he wanted to ask, he heard the man's tone change, and his tone instantly became ten thousand times cold!
"But! The owner of this tomb is Qin Xiao, and he is not the blood of your Cao family. The little baby, for the sake of Prime Minister Cao, let you wait today. Get out of here, I'm sleepy and I have to sleep for a while."
The man's voice turned cold and the temperature of the entire tomb chamber dropped. It seemed that his words and actions could affect the changes in the entire space. Seeing that the other party could tell his identity in one word, Cao Fu's eyes suddenly changed, and even his hand holding the talisman trembled.
"Who are you?"
