Chapter 23 The Tomb of Suspect 7
It's an eyeball!
And it has moving eyeballs!
Before I could scream, the entire main hall suddenly began to vibrate.
Er Pang yelled anxiously: "Chen Siyu! What did you kid touch again?!"
I expressed my grievance: "I didn't touch anything! Just...just..."
"What is it? You should tell me!"
"I just saw something underneath the corona!"
Before I finished speaking, the corona, which was very close to me, suddenly began to rotate on its own.
Then I saw a rectangular platform slowly being held up along the gap between the corona's base.
The upper end is the corona, and the rectangular platform below is like its independent base, but also like a sarcophagus.
"I'm a good boy, junior, are you a Conan? Any place with you is always full of surprises and excitement." Liu Sa was stunned.
"..." And I was speechless in the face of his sharp complaints. Even I felt that I might be the chosen one.
Wherever Conan goes, people die, and wherever I go, there are dead bodies.
The three of us walked around the sarcophagus several times and were basically certain that the corona was just a cover, or that the corona itself was the mechanism.
Although I don’t know how I triggered the mechanism, in short, it was a combination of circumstances that caused the sarcophagus under the corona to surface.
There are many inscriptions carved on the sarcophagus that we cannot decipher.
I have never seen such weird "writing". Whether it is from onomatopoeia, phonograms, oracle bone inscriptions, or bronze inscriptions, it is difficult to guess the content of the inscription. Even if I try to associate it with ancient foreign characters, it is impossible to guess.
Can't find a similar writing system.
At first glance, these inscriptions look like they were scratched out on the sarcophagus with its claws by some insane beast.
But after comparison, I have to admit that the writing rules of these "characters" are the same as the writing rules of the characters in Limuling that I have seen before.
Based on the degree of carving and changes in the inscription, it can be basically judged that this must have been done deliberately, or that it was carved on the sarcophagus when the tomb owner in the sarcophagus was buried.
I am becoming more and more curious about who the owner of this sarcophagus is, and what the words on the sarcophagus mean.
"How about we open the coffin and take a look?" Er Pang was more eager to do it than me.
"What do you want to do? I tell you, Fatty Er, you are not allowed to touch anything in this tomb!" I warned Fatty Er. When he told me about the history of Wujiao Road, I recalled that the three brothers of the Yellow Turban Army once
There is a history of stealing imperial mausoleums, and I am afraid that Er Pang will inherit the restless genes of his ancestors.
"What are you thinking about? I was just thinking that this sarcophagus is so mysterious, maybe the formation book is inside. If that's the case, don't we have to take risks and go deeper into Tomb No. 2!"
Listening to what she said, it seemed to make sense.
Liu Sa didn't know what he was looking at at the moment and kept silent. He circled back and forth around the sarcophagus, as if he was reading the words on the sarcophagus.
"Senior, can you understand the words on this?"
"I understand a little bit." Liu Sa pointed to the messy inscriptions on the sarcophagus and said, "It's normal that you can't understand it. These are secret texts passed down from the ancestors of the Ji family. Only the Ji family can understand them. My brother used to talk to that man
I have dealt with the mysterious Ji family, and there is a rubbing of the Ji family's secret text, but the characters on the rubbing are not complete, so I can only understand a small part."
"What does it say?"
Erpang and I are very curious.
But Liu Sa's expression was not very good. He hesitated for a while and then said word by word: "It says there is a poison in it, and whoever opens the coffin will die."
"Who are you trying to scare? You must have a guilty conscience when you write something so obvious. Look, I'll open it for you." The fat man rolled up his arms and sleeves, took out a crowbar from his bag and prepared to open the coffin.
"Wait a minute, what if there really is a bug inside!" I grabbed the fat man.
I have experienced life and death countless times along the way, so much so that I have become a bit neurotic. In such a haunted place, a normal person's reaction should be to choose not to commit suicide.
After listening to my words, the second fat man stopped. He thought for a long time, and then took out a stack of cut long yellow paper and cinnabar from his bag. He sat down on the spot, picked up the cinnabar and put it on the yellow paper.
He was writing, drawing, and mumbling words. Finally, he stopped writing, took out a water leveller, and took a sip of water. He didn't swallow it, but he held it in his mouth and spat it out on the yellow form paper.
I don’t know if he has special skills or if the yellow paper is of good enough quality. When I sprayed it with water, there was no sign of the paper getting wet at all.
He repeated this many times, and arranged the talisman papers drawn through this set of processes on the ground, and placed them around us and at the four corners of the sarcophagus according to the directions of the Bagua.
Liu Sa and I stood next to the sarcophagus and looked at it. It felt like Monkey Sun made a circle with talisman paper outside, and then told Monkey Tang, don't get out of the circle, otherwise there will be no WIFI.
After doing all this, Er Fatty spat in the palm of his hand, holding a crowbar in one hand, as if he was going to kill everyone: "Now it's foolproof. This is the secret spell of our Wujiao Dao. It can prevent all kinds of evil.
There are evil spirits, poisonous insects and spirits, not to mention Gu insects, even the Gu mother, I will defeat her!"
"I would like to ask this hero, is the water used to spray the talisman paper dichlorvos? Can it also prevent poisonous insects?" Liu Sa was speechless and dragged me further away, "If you want to open the coffin, you can do it yourself, we won't do it."
If you participate, I will arrest you later for destroying cultural relics and ignore our affairs."
"Coward." Erpang gave us both a blank look, and then cut the thin handle of the crowbar into the gap in the sarcophagus.
The moment I inserted it into the gap, I seemed to hear a strange noise inside the sarcophagus, like someone's stomach growling from hunger, or like the chirping of some kind of insect.
After much hesitation, I still decided to stop Er Fatty: "No! Er Fatty, you can't open the coffin! Even if you want to open the coffin, you have to wait until Professor Jiang and Shang Qingyun arrive. You don't know enough about these things!"
Before I finished speaking, I heard the fat man exerting his strength, and with a loud sound, the lid of the sarcophagus was lifted up with a creak.
I screamed in my heart that it was not good!
The second fat man had already opened the coffin lid and pushed it aside.
His entire upper body was inserted into the sarcophagus, and he was looking around, probably looking for the formation book that opened the Sea Eye Dragon Palace.
But while he was searching, he suddenly stopped moving. I saw Er Fatty's entire body froze there. He kept moving like he was looking into a sarcophagus, but he didn't move at all.
"What's wrong? What did you see? Did you see a beautiful female corpse that has not decayed for thousands of years and can't walk?" Liu Sa laughed at him with a smile.
But Er Pang didn't react at all. The two of us looked at each other and realized something was wrong.
"Second Fat! What's wrong with you? Speak!" Senior Liu Sa and I called Er Fat as we walked up the top steps to the sarcophagus to see the specific situation.
But as soon as we stepped onto the top step, we saw Erpang's back twitching.
We immediately realized that something was wrong, so we ran towards the sarcophagus in three steps and two steps at a time. As we ran, we were stunned...
I saw hands as pale as dry vines wrapped around Erpang's head. Each finger was extremely long, as if there were five more arms on top of the arm.
While we were stunned, the arm wrapped around Er Fat's head moved. It pressed Er Fat's head hard into the coffin, and then the owner of the arm took advantage of the force and slowly sat up from the sarcophagus.
This time, I really saw the true face of the owner of the ghost hand.
That can no longer be said to be human at all.
It's simply a humanoid monster.
The pale color is actually not his skin at all, but the color of this guy's fur. Probably because it was dark in the cave and it was floating in the water and I didn't see it clearly.
Or maybe what I saw was not the true form of this monster at all. In short, it was definitely not human.
It has a round head, no chin, a pointed nose and mouth, and seven or eight sharp fangs extending from the black lips, shining like knives.
A pair of eyes like crescent moons seemed to be smiling, but under the thick eyelids, I saw blood-red pupils with fierce glare.
It does not have animal-like ears. Instead, its ears grow on both sides of its head like humans.
The body was naked without a single hair, but with the wolf or fox-like head attached, it felt extremely scary and inconsistent.
The most terrifying thing is the monster's limbs, no, it should be six limbs.
I can't even tell which is its leg and which is its hand. Each limb is very long and thin, like a dry vine. There are a total of six limbs including the hands and legs, and the fingers or fingers at the end of each limb are
Toes are like slender limbs that continue to bifurcate at their ends.
So much so that the monster relies on these weird drives to stand on the ground, unusually tall, almost like a hybrid of an octopus and a tree root.
It's hard to imagine that such a huge monster could be accommodated in the sarcophagus.
"Two fat! Two fat!" Liu Sa and I didn't dare to get close, so we could only call from a distance.
The monster didn't come close to us, so we just faced each other.
After a while, Erpang crawled out of the sarcophagus. He howled and rolled around on the ground like a monkey bitten by a flea.
From time to time, he would pick off small black insects from his body, then crush them to death while shaking them.
I could see clearly at a glance that all those bugs were the deworming larvae I met on the third floor.
"Ouch, ouch, oh my god, I'm going to die. It's okay, I'm still alive!" After he removed the deworming larvae from his body, he took out an engineering shovel from the knife placed next to the sarcophagus, and then used the other hand to
He pulled out his saber from his overalls and said, "It turns out you're a monster. I'll f*ck you to death!"
Liu Sa and I looked at each other, and I also picked up the work shovel and rushed forward. Erpang and I hit the monster five and four times, but every time it felt like we were hit on a sponge, soft and soft.
There is no real sense.
The two of us stopped to look and found that the monster had no wounds at all.
"Gurgling." When the monster saw us stop, it made a strange sound in its throat, and then the gurgling sound turned into a grunting insect sound.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way."
Senior Liu Sa's voice came from behind me, and I suddenly realized that he didn't come with me!
Chapter completed!
