Chapter 40 Chapter Three

Lian Xing and Da Kui have fought several times, and they are supposed to be well-informed, but they have never seen such a vertical coffin. Lian Xing frowned, looking at the coffin carefully.This coffin is no different from ordinary coffins, it just stands upside down in the passage of this underground cave, which is very strange. Da Kui said in a deep voice, "Let's open it and see what's weird inside." Lian Xing nodded, took out the gloves and masks he had with him, and handed them to Da Kui and Fourth Aunt Li to put them on.Lian Xing walked up to the coffin, grabbed the lid of the coffin, and pulled it hard.The coffin nails on the coffin lid had long since rotted, and when Lian Xing pulled hard, the black lacquered coffin lid easily opened.

As soon as the coffin lid was opened, a smell of corpses rushed towards them, and the three hurriedly dodged to avoid it.After a while, the corpse smell slowly dissipated.The three of them looked intently, and saw a corpse standing upright in the vertical coffin. The corpse was obviously that of a woman.The corpse was still wearing a bride's red wedding dress, and the blood-red wedding dress looked even more strange and inexplicable in the black lacquered coffin.Looking up slowly along the wedding dress, a skull loomed in front of the three of them.Only half of the skull was left, and the other half was nowhere to be found.A black hole on the remaining half of the skull stared at them fixedly, and a few strands of long hair were still floating obliquely on the half of the skull.

It was the first time that Fourth Aunt Li saw such a terrifying corpse, and her heart couldn't help beating. Lian Xing saw that there was nothing else in the coffin, so he said to Da Kui: "It seems that this coffin is only standing here for deterrent effect. Let's put the coffin down and go over it." Da Kui nodded and said with a smile, "How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer? I can do this kind of rough work." After speaking, he walked forward, grasped the two walls of the coffin with both hands, and pushed forward vigorously.Just hearing a "boom", the coffin fell to the ground, and dust was flying in the cave for a while.

After the dust slowly fell, the three jumped over the black-painted coffin.The corpse mastiff followed closely behind the three of them, passing over the coffin.After walking a few feet, the cave turned to the left, and the three of them came to a tomb. This tomb has a radius of seventeen or eighty feet.The tomb was empty, with some pots and jars scattered in the corners.Those things seemed old, far from recent.The walls of the tomb are covered with colorful murals.The three of them held torches in their hands and walked slowly to the mural, waiting to look intently, looking for some clues from the mural. Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from outside the tomb door, as if there was something in the corridor outside the tomb. Climbing to the tomb.There is also a small stone gate on the south side of the tomb, behind which there seems to be a corridor.The strange sound came from the corridor.

Just as Da Kui was about to open his mouth to speak, suddenly a black shadow beside him flew out like lightning, and disappeared behind the stone gate in a moment. It was the corpse mastiff that had been following the three of them. Lian Xing wondered: Did this corpse mastiff find something? After the corpse mastiff chased into the corridor behind the stone gate, the voice in the corridor suddenly disappeared, and the three of them looked at each other in blank dismay. Fourth Aunt Li wondered, "What made that sound just now?" Both Da Kui and Lian Xing shook their heads. Fourth Aunt Li also put the weird voice aside, turned around and looked at the murals on the tomb together with Da Kui and Lian Xing.

There is a mural on each of the four walls of the tomb.The themes and contents of the murals are roughly the same, and each of them depicts dozens of people meditating and praying for immortality.The clothes of these people are not Hu Feihan, and it is impossible to tell which era they are from. Lian Xing frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Fourth Aunt, are there any legends near Yandang Mountain?" Fourth Aunt Li smiled and said: "There are many legends about Yandang Mountain, the most famous one is the legend of Tieguai Li. The old people say that every year when the peaches, plums and apricots are ripe, the Jade Emperor will send immortals to collect all kinds of fruits. Yaotai held a grand meeting.

"This year, Tieguai Li picked a load of fruit according to his order. When he was about to return to the Heavenly Palace, he was fascinated by the strange lotus petals in front of him. Tieguai Li then put down the fruit load and poked it forward with his finger. I saw Qingtian's rock wall moving to both sides with a bang, and a stone door was cracked, and the inside of the stone door was like a fairyland. Tieguai Li put the fairy fruit aside, kicked his feet, and vacated into the stone door. Gone forever. "Besides, the grand festival in Yaotai is approaching. The Jade Emperor saw that Tieguai Li hadn't returned yet, so he had to send Han Xiangzi to look for him. Han Xiangzi is a musician in the Heavenly Palace. When he blows his jade flute, all gods and gods will gather to listen. How many times will he know? Running around in the sky, blowing the flute tore his lips, but still did not see the shadow of Tieguai Li. Han Xiangzi traveled from west to east, from south to north, looking for the east and west. On this day, when he came to Yandang Mountain, Han Xiangzi was also killed Yandang Mountain, which is shaped like lotus petals, is fascinated! I went after Tieguai Li. Later, it is said that mortals who practiced Taoism also followed Tieguai Li and Han Xiangzi into the stone gate and went to refine it."

Lian Xing said in a deep voice, "Where is Shimen now?" Fourth Aunt Li laughed and said, "The Shimen is just a legend, no one has seen it before. But there are indeed quite a few cultivators here in Yandang Mountain." Lian Xing nodded, turned back and continued to look at the mural, thinking to himself: Looking at the figures on this mural, they seem to be wearing Taoist robes for cultivating immortals.Could it be that this tomb is the place where Taoist cultivators hide their souls after death? Lian Xing heard from Tie Pobei that the burial utensils of cultivators are different from those of ordinary people. After death, they often use the treasured tripod and pill furnace as a place to hide their souls for ascension to heaven.Yandang Mountain is shaped like a lotus flower, and it is an excellent place for cultivators to practice immortality.It is the dream of every cultivator to be buried in Yandang Mountain after death, and to breathe the aura of heaven and earth day and night.

Lian Xing suddenly remembered something, turned his head, and was about to ask Aunt Li, only to see that Aunt Li had already walked to a mural on the opposite side to watch intently.Behind Fourth Aunt Li, there was a woman in red standing quietly at some point. The Huozhe in Aunt Li's hand flickered, reflecting the figure of the woman in red behind her also floating back and forth.Under the dim light of the fire, the woman in red slowly raised her hand, and slowly stretched it towards Aunt Li's neck! Lian Xing was so shocked that he didn't have time to think, he rushed to Aunt Li like an arrow off the string, and pulled Aunt Li three feet away.

Fourth Aunt Li was startled, and was about to ask, when she looked up and saw the woman in red, she lost her voice, "Who is this woman?" Lian Xing said in a deep voice, "It's the woman in the coffin." Fourth Aunt Li shuddered, and said in a trembling voice, "You said this woman is the woman in the coffin just now?" Lian Xing nodded, Da Kui also walked over from one side, and the three of them stared intently at the woman in red.The woman in red missed a single blow and stood straight in front of the mural, motionless. After a while, the woman in red slowly turned around.Fourth Aunt Li was terrified when she saw it, she was indeed the woman in the coffin, the woman without half of her face!A dark hole on the remaining half of her face was also staring at the three of them, as if it was connected to the ghost palace, and a cold air emerged from it.

Fourth Aunt Li said: "Da Kui, Lian Xing, have you seen big rice dumplings?" Da Kui forced a smile and said, "Mother, Lian Xing and I haven't seen one thousand such big rice dumplings, but we've seen eight hundred." Fourth Aunt Li said: "Son, aren't you bragging?" Da Kui blushed slightly.Under such an eerie situation, Da Kui could still blush, which is really unbelievable. Fourth Aunt Li suddenly said, "Lian Xing, why did this big rice dumpling move by itself?" Lian Xing said in a low voice: "Maybe the corpse mastiff jumped over the big rice dumpling just now, and the big rice dumpling tricked the corpse." Just as he was speaking, the female corpse in red moved slowly and approached the three of them. Lian Xing stared at the female corpse in red and whispered to Da Kui, "Da Kui, take care of Fourth Aunt, and I will deal with this big zongzi." Fourth Aunt Li said softly: "Be careful yourself." Lian Xing nodded, pulled out the dagger with his right hand, and before the red-clothed female corpse approached, he swung the dagger and rushed towards the red-clothed female corpse. The female corpse in red was very vigilant, and when she saw that the situation was not right, she turned around and left, hiding in a dark place aside.Lian Xing saw that Da Zongzi acted like a ghost, extremely fast, and half of the ghost's face was expressionless, thinking: It seems that today's fierce battle is inevitable. Lian Xing stared at the female corpse in red, and the female corpse in red also stared fiercely at Lian Xing with one eye. Lian Xing took a deep breath and performed the shape-changing movement. His figure was like riding the wind, and he floated in front of the red-clothed female corpse in an instant.With a flash of cold light, the dagger in his hand chopped off half of the head of the female corpse in red.The female corpse in red couldn't turn around in time, and was slashed by Lian Xing's dagger.Half of the head flew into the sky, hit the top of the tomb with a "bang", and fell, a stream of bright red blood spurted out from the broken neck.Lian Xing dodges in a hurry.The blood fell to the ground, and there was a foul smell, which was disgusting.Fortunately, all three of them had masks to protect their mouths and noses, so they didn't spit it out. The strange thing was that the female corpse in red didn't fall down, her body swayed, she opened her arms, and rushed towards Lian Xing again.Lian Xing was terrified, he didn't expect that the female corpse in red was able to chase him after losing her head, so she hurriedly dodged to the side.The headless female corpse in red seemed to be able to sense where Lian Xing was, so she opened her arms again and rushed towards Lian Xing. Seeing this scene, Da Kui hurriedly jumped forward, raised his right leg and kicked the female corpse fiercely. Lian Xing shouted: "Be careful! Don't touch the body of this female corpse." Da Kui was taken aback, hurriedly grabbed his right leg, and stopped abruptly.Immediately, he stretched out his hand, pulled out an iron rod about a foot long from behind, and threw it behind the headless female corpse in red. The back of the red-clothed female corpse.The headless red-clothed female corpse couldn't hold on any longer, and fell to the ground with a "plop", and there was a sound of bones cracking, as if all the bones in her body had been shattered. The three of them stared at the red-clothed female corpse for a while, until they were convinced that the red-clothed female corpse would never come back to life, then they let out a long breath. Lian Xing looked at the iron rod in Da Kui's hand, and asked, "Did the iron rod get stained with the blood on the female corpse?" Da Kui raised the iron rod, looked at it and said, "No, why?" Lian Xing said in a deep voice: "It's actually not blood that spewed out from the female body, but a kind of venom." Fourth Aunt Li wondered, "What venom?" Lian Xing nodded: "Half of the female corpse's head was cut off after death, and the body was filled with this venom. Finally, the gap at the neck was sealed with plaster and put into the coffin. Once someone approaches, it will infect the living Or the aura on cats and dogs will cheat corpses to live. If you kill the female corpse in red and accidentally get infected with the venom from the female corpse, your skin will slowly fester, and you will eventually die of poisoning. Fortunately, you didn't kick it just now. This poisonous corpse, otherwise, even if this leg can be saved, it will still suffer a lot of pain." Da Kui gasped, and cursed: "His grandma's, I can't tell, she's still a poisonous rice dumpling."
