The black coffin, which was originally empty and contained nothing, was beating strangely.
The fat Taoist priest disappeared quietly.
A cold snake corpse lying on the ground.
The silent and dark square was extremely depressing and had an indescribably scary atmosphere.
Zhou You approached the black coffin, took a deep breath, and raised his long knife to slash inside.
No matter what monsters and monsters are inside, strike first and then take advantage!
"Don't do it, we're on our own!!" A frightened but very familiar voice sounded from inside the coffin.
Zhou You was stunned for a moment and twisted his wrist slightly.
Bang.
The demon-slaying knife struck hard on the edge of the black coffin.
Wu Liang, the fat man, was breathing heavily and lying in the black coffin with a face filled with joy.
"What are you doing running into the coffin?"
Zhou You shook his head speechlessly.
How can any living person like to lie in a coffin?
This damn fat man's hobby is really quite heavy.
"The general's body is missing. I originally wanted to see if there were any burial objects in the coffin."
"But the black coffin was a bit deep, and my vision was too dim, so I jumped in, and ended up getting stuck inside."
When Taoist Wu Liang talked about the reason, he seemed a little embarrassed even though he was so shameless.
After Zhou You heard this, he was even more speechless and could only lift the fat Taoist priest out of the coffin first.
"Then did you find anything?" Zhou You asked softly.
"Nothing..." Wu Liang looked unhappy.
Entering the ancient tomb this time was a narrow escape, but I didn't expect to find anything.
"What do you mean by the disappearance of the general's body?" Zhou You asked seemingly casually.
This is obviously an ancient tomb of a general, but the body of the owner has disappeared, which is really puzzling.
Could it be that someone visited this ancient tomb before and stole the general's body?
You must know that this black coffin was found at the headless statue.
In this way, it can also explain why the head of the statue disappeared.
"I know you kid must have guessed whether some tomb robbers visited this ancient tomb before us."
"But based on my professional judgment, we are definitely the only ones who have been to this ancient tomb for so many years." Taoist Wu Liang expressed his judgment.
"You know, this is the tomb of the generals of the previous dynasty. Every general climbed out from the pile of dead, and there is a terrible evil energy condensed on his body."
"The feng shui of this tomb is that the white tiger is holding a knife, which is an extremely dangerous situation. This makes it even worse. The average tomb robber would have been killed as soon as he entered the tomb."
Zhou You asked puzzledly: "What if you are a master?"
"It wasn't done by a master." Wu Liang led Zhou You to the collapsed headless statue.
"Look at the traces of the severed head. There are no traces of external damage. It was most likely exploded from the inside. And in order to prevent people from seeing the true face of the statue, the head of the statue was directly destroyed." Wu Liang
State your judgment.
When Zhou You heard this, he held back a breath of cold air: "You mean, you faked the corpse?"
"It's very possible." Wu Liang nodded lightly.
"This general has always been buried in the statue and has not been laid to rest. His soul cannot enter reincarnation."
According to ancient legends, only when a person's corpse or ashes are buried in the earth and absorb a ray of earth's Yin energy can they enter the Nine Netherworld.
For example, if a person dies from drowning and his body is not fished out, he will be corroded by the evil spirit of the water and turn into a resentful water ghost. He will be trapped in the water forever and like to pull people from passing boats into the water.
Wu Liang paused and continued: "I just took a look and found that the original position of this statue happened to be the position of the Geng Jin White Tiger in the West. I don't know how much evil energy was absorbed day and night. I'm afraid this general's fate
It's also so hard that it has no edge, otherwise this ancient tomb might have turned into a ghost long ago..."
"The white tiger holds the knife in his hand to condense the evil spirit, and is buried in the statue. It does not have any negative energy, and is afraid that the ghosts from hell will take away the soul..."
"I'm afraid that general arranged all this a thousand years ago. He just wanted to come back from the dead!"
By the end of Wu Liang's speech, he was even afraid of himself.
An old corpse that has accumulated evil energy for thousands of years... I'm afraid it will be a black nightmare level when it is born!
After Zhou You heard this, he took a deep breath and his scalp felt numb.
"It's just that this condensed evil spirit can only turn into an evil corpse without any sense of humanity, which is violent, cruel and extremely bloody."
"It seems that this general may have been born a long time ago... If he really turned into a corpse, then Huai County would have been reduced to a hell on earth. Why is nothing happening now... It's really strange.
That's weird." Wu Liang looked puzzled.
"I'm afraid he has some secret technique or treasure that kept him sane and didn't even turn into a corpse." Zhou You said suddenly.
He thought of a lot.
Why is it that the Ten Thousand Snake Cave in Huangzhou is causing trouble in the east of Qingzhou, but it secretly sends three snake demons to look for this ancient tomb?
They should be looking for something.
It shouldn't be the general's body.
Even though the Ten Thousand Snake Cave has the evil secret method of refining a snake attendant, the most basic requirement is that she is a woman.
Although this headless statue has no head, it looks like a male military commander and cannot be a woman.
In other words, Ten Thousand Snake Cave should be looking for something.
And this kind of thing is very important to Ten Thousand Snake Cave. They even go to war with the Demon Slayer and completely attract their attention at any cost!
All of this is most likely for something in the ancient tomb.
But later, when the coffin fell and was opened, they turned around and left without any hesitation.
It means that what they are looking for is probably no longer in the ancient tomb.
As for why it's no longer there?
I can think of it even with my knees when traveling around.
It should have been taken away by the general who faked the corpse.
Upon hearing this, Taoist Wu Liang, an old man, quickly understood and sighed: "It's a pity that I didn't get that white snake down, otherwise I would have been able to find out what it was... If you want to know about resurrection from the dead, but
It’s priceless.”
Zhou You asked curiously: "Damn Fatty, can you guess what it is?"
It can be seen that this fat Taoist priest has studied deeply in this field.
"The scope is very broad. There are flowers of the other shore, springs of immortality, jade of eternal sleep, shroud of the God Emperor... It is rumored that some people have the ability to bring people back to life." Wu Liang opened his mouth and said a lot.
Pile things.
But I would like to add one last sentence: "These things only exist in legends. Anyway, I have never heard of them appearing anywhere, so they cannot be taken seriously."
Zhou You also shook his head when he heard this.
It seems that this matter is beyond the scope of his handling, so he can only report it to the Demon Slayer Department after he returns.
"Hey. There seems to be something painted on this rock wall."
