But this tomb-suppressing beast is really evil."
"This is the first time I have seen the tomb beast carved above my head."
Jin An used a bamboo pole to jam the gap in the cave wall, and the raft stood still in the deep, ink-free river water. The three people on the raft looked curiously at the tomb-suppressing beast above them.
This grave beast is facing down.
He has a weird face.
In the deep cave, which was empty and extremely quiet with only the sound of water, the atmosphere suddenly became strange and depressing.
This tomb-suppressing beast is facing down, as if the craftsmen who built the tomb knew that someone would come in through the Thousand Cave Cave, so they specially carved it face down on the top of their head, intending to scare off tomb robbers.
"Little brother, when you were in Chang County to help your younger siblings and kill their old bodies in the coffin temple, you must have encountered a tomb-suppressing beast. I remember you mentioned that the tomb-suppressing beast you encountered that time was a demon (
wǎng) like a tomb beast..."
The old Taoist priest held a torch in his hand and looked at the green-faced and fanged tomb-suppressing beast hanging above his head. He clicked his tongue and said: "Last time, the little brother encountered the elf-elephant tomb-suppressing beast. This time, the little brother encountered the human-faced beast.
Tomb-suppressing beast... Little brother, what do I think? If I follow you around the country, I will always encounter all kinds of strange and weird things that others may not encounter in their entire lives."
"It's like talking about this human tomb beast. Not many people would use ordinary tombs because the yin energy is too great and the evil energy is too great. This thing specializes in eating people, both living and dead, so it's not as good as
The tomb-suppressing beast like the elephant is gentle and can easily bite the owner of the tomb."
There is a good distinction between the elephant-like tomb-slaying beast and the human-like tomb-slaying beast.
The former is usually in the form of an animal, and is the most common one. It can ward off evil spirits, deter strange things, and prevent snakes, insects, rats, and ants from invading the tomb.
The latter is a ridiculous and weird human face, specially used to prevent tomb thieves from destroying ancient tombs. It is delicious.
It eats both dead and living people.
So the evil nature is greater.
Although the tomb-killing beast Elephant is also used to guard against tomb robbers, it only drives away people and kills people, and does not brutally eat people.
The old Taoist priest continued to ponder and said: "Old Taoist, I have met several antique experts before. Strange things happened to them because they collected the burial objects from ancient tombs from tomb robbers, and then they found the old Taoist to help them exorcise evil spirits, so I, the old Taoist, dealt with this person.
The tomb beast also has some understanding."
"Those antique experts say that if a mausoleum uses humans to suppress tomb beasts, it is usually a large tomb, not an ordinary large tomb, but a large tomb comparable to the tomb of an emperor. The person buried in it is either a general or a general.
He is a prince, a member of the royal family, or the leader of a small country, because only this kind of person has a strong enough destiny to be able to control such evil things as the human and the tomb beast."
The old Taoist priest held a torch and looked at the tomb-suppressing beast above his head, and continued: "Old Taoist, I also heard that as long as a large tomb with a human tomb-suppressing beast is used, in addition to worrying that the tomb-suppressing beast will bite the tomb owner,
A series of unknown and strange things will happen."
"As for what the unknown strange thing is, those antique experts are just playing with antiques and don't know the specific details. It is estimated that only those tomb robbers who have been digging up corpses in tombs all year round can know the reason."
"It is also because of these reasons that there are not many ancient tombs and large tombs that can use human tomb beasts, and human tomb beasts have always been rare."
Jin An looked at the old Taoist priest who was still leaning his head forward and carefully looking at the human and the tomb beast, and was speechless for a while.
Old Taoist, you are not afraid that this man is still alive.
You are so close.
Isn't it the same as giving away someone's head?
The tomb beast carved on the top of the head screams: Come and bite me, come and bite me...
As a result, Chi Jian became more courageous and used his hands to touch the tomb beast on its head.
Jin An: "..."
One nerve is bigger than the other.
None of the two people from Wu Zang Taoist Temple made him worry.
"Master, this tomb-suppressing beast is carved from the rock of the mountain. It is a dead stone object." Chi Jian said.
Jin An looked at Jin An in surprise.
I don’t know if it was because the atmosphere of the ancient tomb stimulated the thief who was sharpening his sword. He felt familiar with the tomb and talked more obviously.
This was the first time that Chi Jian took the initiative to speak.
But this is a good thing. Maybe the more graveyard scenes you see, the sword-cutting cerebral cortex will be stimulated, and you may be able to regain your memory or something.
The three of them continued to look at the tomb beast above them for a while, and even Jin An took the initiative to reach out and touch it.
This thing is indeed a dead thing.
Just a hard stone.
Because it has been soaked in water for many years, the surface is covered with moss and feels moist and oily to the touch. The originally smooth surface has been soaked by the river water and has become somewhat pitted and old in color.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual about this tomb beast except for its green-faced fangs and weird and scary face, the three of them continued to move forward on the raft.
"It's a pity that Guard Li didn't come with us this time."
In the empty, dark and quiet cave waterway with only the three people on the raft, the old Taoist priest suddenly smacked his lips and said with emotion.
Jin'an was delighted when he heard this.
"Old Taoist, why did you suddenly mention Guard Li when you were fine?"
The Cave of Thousand Corpses was too big, and the old Taoist priest was too bored to walk around. He started to say with excitement: "Little brother, you have forgotten, Li Huwei is only thinking about fighting evil spirits. The more evil things are, the more Li Huwei will come."
Jintou, a rare thing like the Renqi Grave Beast, we have come across, and if Li Huanwei is here, I have a hunch that Li Huanwei will definitely dig out a leftover stone with a knife and bring it back."
"Among us, Li Huanwei is the most interested in these magical things. The more evil they are, the more interested he is."
As the old Taoist priest talked, even he couldn't help but laugh out loud. The old Taoist priest was happy when he thought that Li Huwei was obsessed with killing evil spirits in the past and begged to go to the Headless Village to be his headless corpse king.
Want to laugh.
"Guard Li came to look for us several times, but he just didn't meet us. This time, Guard Li didn't follow us to the Cave of Thousand Corpses in the Yinyi River. He didn't see so many weird things along the way. Old Taoist.
I actually started to feel a little sorry for Li Weibei..."
Well.
After listening to the old Taoist priest's words, Jin An began to subconsciously imagine what would happen if Guard Li were here.
Don't even say it.
Sure enough, it has a sense of picture.
Li Huwei, who is more nervous than the old Taoist priest and the sharp swordsman, really wants to go down to the Cave of Thousand Corpses with them. When he met the Renxi Grave Beast just now, Li Huwei probably would really use a knife to dig out the teeth of the Renxi Grave Beast.
Or eyeballs as souvenirs.
I have to hold her even when I sleep.
I begged Renqi to suppress the tomb beast and seek him out.
Jin An couldn't help but laugh out loud.
…
Along the way, Pirates sharpened his sword and continued to use his special skills.
Drink water from the river at every fork in the road.
"Xi Jian, if you are full after drinking water, you can tell us and we can stop and rest for a while." Jin An was really worried that if he didn't take the initiative to tell Xi Jian, Xi Jian, an honest and dull thieves, would keep drinking water.
Along the way, even the old Taoist priests were full of praise for sharpening swords.
So much fun along the way.
cowhide.
Even Mrs. Niu would retreat when she saw the sharp sword.
In the deep, dark cave, apart from the sound of the river flowing, there were only the slow progress of the raft and the whispers of the three people. The torches on the raft provided limited illumination.
It was as if this pitch-black cave really had no end.
Suddenly.Douzi Bookstore
Plop!
In the empty, invisible quiet darkness, the sound of falling water came again, this time from the front.
"It seems like it's coming from the top of my head this time!"
