Chapter 31 Chapter 30 Locking Longjing in the Land of Death

After discussing for a while, everyone decided to split up.It's just that each of you has to be careful. Once you encounter any danger, you have to call out loudly, and the other two will rush to respond.After all, in this place now, anything can happen, and there is no room for everyone to be careless. Holding the shovel head for self-defense in my hand, I walked carefully on the misty sky pillar.Surrounded by the kind of pitch-black rocks that make up the sky pillars, they have obviously been polished by people, making them appear smooth and flat.Walking on it, you can see strange stripes and totem decorations on the ground from time to time. They are all in the style of the ancient Wu family of the Yuanguban tribe, which are the same as those murals we saw in the underground river caves of the old Yangtze River.

While I was secretly sighing, I heard the three fat guys shouting not far away.When I first heard it, I thought something was going on.At the moment, my heart sank, and I ran over in a hurry.When he got closer, he saw the three fat men squatting on the ground, fiddling with something.I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this kid is always surprised when he does everything, and sooner or later he will cause a big mess.However, Jiangshan is easy to change and his nature is hard to change. It is not easy to get him to change his faults. At this time, Old Wang Lame also rushed over, and the two came to the side of the third fat man together, and saw in front of him was a place located at the corner of the end of the Tianzhu, where a huge blue stone lay horizontally, as if covering the sky. something stuck.

I was startled and said, "This place..." The third fat man said: "It should be here. Fat Lord, I said that I am a lucky star, and I found the key point within two steps." I smiled and said: "Don't be there, Wang Po is selling melons and boasting. Whether it is a mule or a horse, you have to take it out for a walk! First remove this big stone slab, and then we will see what is inside." The third fat man said: "Okay!" After finishing speaking, he smoothed his cuffs and was about to start. "Want to help?" I said. "Cut, do you still need to take action on such a trivial matter?" As he said, the three fat men stepped forward, holding both ends of the bluestone slab tightly with their arms, and the muscles in their elbows suddenly bulged.

"Ah! Get up!" The three fat guys yelled violently, and suddenly used all their arms, and the bluestone slab with a diameter of more than one meter was lifted up by him inch by inch. "Boom!" With a loud noise, the huge bluestone slab was unloaded to the side, the ground seemed to shake, and debris splashed.But they didn't care about these people, because at this moment, everyone's minds were attracted by the scene in front of them. Under that bluestone slab, there is a well! That's right!It is a well!It was a well dug entirely by manpower!The well is dark and unfathomably deep, and there is no trace of water, and it has been dry for many years.

It's just that in this kind of place, a well suddenly appeared, which is really incredible. "Good job." I patted the shoulder of the third fat man. The boy was obviously stunned by the scene in front of him, and he didn't speak for a long time.It's just that after spending so much effort, he didn't find any treasure, but instead dug a well, which was really beyond his expectation. I walked forward, half squatted on the ground, and my eyes fell to the edge of the well. After observing for a long time, I finally determined that this is indeed a well, and it is an ancient well.The mouth of the well is not big, only about one meter in diameter, and the edge is made of bluestone, which is the same material as the big bluestone slab that the three fat men moved away.This is completely different from the pitch-black rock of Tianzhu itself. It is clearly separated, but it blends harmoniously into one, making it appear more mysterious and simple.

I stretched out my hand and touched the edge of the wellhead. It was very cool, the kind of heart-warming coolness. This may be caused by the environment in the well, which formed an extreme contrast with the outside temperature. However, the well in front of him was too ordinary.Even standing on the edge of the well mouth, I didn't notice anything special, but when the well appeared in this area, it showed that it was not normal. "Hey! Some weird things have happened these days! How come I moved a big stone slab and moved out a well." The three fat people held the edge of the well with both hands, and said in amazement.

He picked up a broken stone from the ground and threw it straight in. The next moment, we heard a dull sound of "boom", which seemed to bounce back a bit.But we can all be sure that the stone never fell straight to the bottom of the well, and there seemed to be something huge in the midair of the well. "I didn't expect that there is such a terrain as longan in this world." Old lame Wang seemed to be stunned. He stood at the mouth of the well with his lips slightly open. He didn't say a word for a long time, and he opened his mouth after a long time. "What is longan? Is there any treasure in it?" Hearing that there is still a way to it, the third fat man's heart suddenly ignited a raging treasure-hunting heart.

"Do you still remember the terrain of the Nine Dragons Opera Pearl I told you before? It is one of the most incredible dragon veins in the history of Fengshui. It has always been said that only those who reach the sky are eligible to enter. And this black hole, although it looks like a well, but But it directly penetrates the depths of the earth. This is the 'bead' of the Nine Dragons Playing Pearl, a treasure cave that gathers the essence of nine dragon veins." "No way, it's so evil? You mean, we have developed completely this time and found the legendary longan?" The three fatty laughed.

"It's because you think too much. Only people who reach the sky are eligible to be buried here after death in this kind of treasure cave. Throughout the ages, there has only been one person, the Yellow Emperor. What virtue and ability do you and I have? Do you keep the treasure point for yourself?" said the crippled old man Wang. "His grandma's, it turned out to be a fancy and useless thing. Are we really going to make a waste of a trip this time?" The lame Wang's words obviously hit him.Three Fatty's face collapsed at that moment. I ignored these two people, carefully observed the well in front of me, and finally let out a light sigh, and said, "What is this?"

In the bluestone slab at the edge of the well mouth of the ancient well, there are more than a dozen bronze chains hanging straight to the end of the darkness.Due to the heavy fog in the well, the surface of the bronze chain was already covered with moss, and the light was dim. Just now, everyone was shocked by the origin of the well, but they didn't find it for a while. Now seeing so many ancient bronze chains hanging straight into the well, I immediately felt that there was something strange in it. I thought that the stone thrown into the well by the three fat men just now seemed to have hit something, and seemed to have been shaken back.It can be seen that the volume of that thing must not be small.Now, so many ancient bronze chains have been discovered on the edge of the well. Maybe there is something hanging in this deep well.And the location is directly below our bodies, but I don't know how deep this well is, can everyone go down and have a look.

Just as I was thinking about it, my hand subconsciously touched a bronze chain, wanting to pull it up to see what was on the other end of the bronze chain.At this time, I saw the face of the lame Wang changed, and he rushed towards me all of a sudden, and shouted: "Don't! Stop!" I knew right away that something was wrong, but it was too late. The moment Mr. Wang crippled his mouth and yelled, I only saw the mist in the well tumbling, and the sound of mechanical operation faintly came from "Ka Ka Ka". The next moment, I felt the bronze chain in my hand shake suddenly, and my whole body was suddenly dragged into the mouth of the well by a huge force.I desperately grabbed the bronze chain in my hand, only to feel that the moss growing on the chain seemed to be coated with lubricating oil, making me slide down the well. In a hurry, I raised my head, and the last thing I saw was the pale faces of Three Fatty and Old Lame Wang and their mouth shapes shouting into the well.Everything else has nothing to do with me, my body is completely submerged in darkness. After sliding down for thirty or forty meters like this, I fully realized it.Shouting badly in his heart, he hastily took out his dagger from his bosom and inserted it into the chain hole of the bronze chain, only to get stuck in his body. "call!" I took a big breath, and at this time I had already slid down to a depth of tens of meters, deep into the interior of the longan well, that is, the stem of the Tianzhu that grew out of the underground abyss. I thought about it, gritted my teeth, and felt at ease as soon as my heart came. Anyway, I had already fallen into the well, so I didn't miss this little time.I took out the fire folder from my pocket, lit it, and shook it around twice. It was only through the dim light that he could see the surrounding scene clearly.I was in a dead space, and the mouth of the well seemed to be only one meter in diameter, but it was only when I really went deep into it that I realized that the space inside was getting bigger and bigger. "Damn it, is the entire sky pillar protruding from the underground abyss hollow?" I cursed secretly in my heart. There was darkness all around, nothingness, and I couldn't see anything. My whole body seemed to be in a void where everything was annihilated.Now this situation makes my heart feel an uncontrollable chill. In this situation, it seems that there is a dead end. The only way to get out from here is to climb out along the bronze chain. Suddenly, I felt something was wrong again. There seemed to be a faint voice coming from the darkness, causing a little echo in the dead space.It came from above the mouth of the well, as if calling my name. Could it be that the three fat guys came to rescue me? Just as I was wondering, I saw a bronze chain next to it start to vibrate slightly. It was not obvious at first, but soon the amplitude became bigger and bigger, as if someone had climbed down from the mouth of the well along the bronze chain. up. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, when I saw a blurry figure not far above me.Immediately, a familiar voice was heard: "Twenty-eight, are you down there?" I agreed, and the man came down immediately.I lifted the fire pocket, and just now I saw clearly that this person turned out to be the crippled old man Wang. "How did you get down?" I asked. He said: "We saw you fell into the well, and we were afraid that something would happen to you, so we decided to come down and rescue you alone. The third fat man is too fat, and climbing the chains may be a bit difficult, so I didn't let him down." "Yeah." I nodded.I saw the cripple Wang raised his head and shouted loudly towards the mouth of the well, the voice kept echoing in the dead space. Immediately afterwards, I heard a response from above the mouth of the well: "Are you okay?" The voice knew it was the third fat man.Through this method, the two sides quickly confirmed their respective safety after asking and answering. Old lame Wang and I were inside the courtyard, while the third fat man stayed outside the mouth of the well to support us. "What should I do? Are you going up now?" I asked. Old Lame Wang thought carefully for a moment: "Since I have come down, I might as well take a look, what is the mystery in this longan well!" I glanced at him and thought he was a little strange.In such an environment, people's first reaction is mostly fear, panic, and wanting to leave here, but judging by his expression, he is surprisingly calm, as if he has a plan in mind. The four boards in the west of Hubei have always been the masters of the local masters in this area of ​​Hubei. They are familiar with all kinds of strange treasures and strange stories. Could it be that he knows what is under there? As soon as I gritted my teeth, my figure flickered, and I thought to myself, I want to see what kind of medicine this old guy is selling in his gourd.He hurriedly pulled out the dagger that was strewn across the bronze chain, and then slid down... The bottom of the well was empty, and the bronze chain hung straight into the endless darkness.After thousands of years, the chain was covered with thick moss, which was extremely slippery, so the two fell very fast.Only in the second half, because they were worried about the danger below, the two of them gradually slowed down their descent. After sliding down again for a while, beyond my expectation, Old Lame Wang stopped suddenly, raised his head, and stared at me inexplicably. I said: "What's wrong?" He shook his head and said it was all right, there seemed to be something under here!I was startled, and quickly fell down a few meters away. When I reached the plane parallel to him, I quickly hooked my legs, and once again used the dagger to catch the buckle of the bronze chain to fix my figure. Lame Wang made a gesture with his hand, motioning me to look down. I nodded, opened the fire folder, looked down, was stunned for a while, opened my mouth, but couldn't make any sound.With the dim light of the torch in his hand, he could vaguely see that in this dark and cold underground abyss space, dozens of thick ancient chains were stretched straight, as if something was hanging there.Looking down from me, all I could see was a huge, mountain-like creature locked in mid-air. The light inside the Tianzhu was very dim, and it was difficult to tell what it was for a while.I just vaguely felt that the thing was very big, beyond our expectation. Lame Wang looked at me, and I looked at him too. Both of them were obviously shocked, and they didn't speak for a long time.Just staring straight down, in the depths of darkness and nothingness, the huge monster locked by ancient chains... At this moment, there was a buzzing sound of "Dangdangdangdang...", Lao Wang and I looked up and knew that it was the three fat men who were sending us a signal to ensure our safety.This was the agreement that Mr. Wang and the cripple had discussed in advance when he came down. We also shook the chains to show him that we were safe for the time being.Gradually there was no movement above the mouth of the well, and Laozi Wang and I settled down, looked at each other again, and projected our gazes into the emptiness of darkness below. From our point of view, the chain is very long, it has already exceeded our imagination, it hangs down to the endless darkness below, it seems to go all the way to the inside of the Tianzhu, the deepest part of the underground abyss, there is no end, there is no end at all. There is no bottom.That huge black shadow was suspended in mid-air just like that, and it was still 20 to 30 meters away from us. With just one glance, Mr. Wang and I decided to continue down.After all, I have already come to this place, if I don't see what it is, I am really not reconciled.After sinking for another distance, our speed slowed down again, and it is estimated that we are not too far away from that thing.Looking down, at the end of the chain, a huge black shadow like a black hill was hanging in the air. I stuck out the fire pocket, and against the light, the outline of the huge monster was revealed at once. With just one glance, I gasped, and an indescribable chill immediately surged from the bottom of my heart. Immediately afterwards, I felt an incredible feeling. "This is, a dragon? The body of a dragon!" The lame Wang and I both looked at the dark void in horror. There, the skeleton of a huge creature with an unknown number of feet in length was bound by dozens of thick ancient bronze chains, hanging upright in this way. In the mid-air of the abyss, the other end of the bronze chain extends into the endless dark abyss. The place where the legendary nine dragon veins gather! This well is the terrain of the Nine Dragons Playing Pearl that Mr. Wang said before. The dark passage in front of him gathers the essence of nine dragon veins and directly penetrates the depths of the ground... This old guy is the four boards in the west of Hubei. , has always had the sharpest vision. According to what he said, this longan really gathers the essence of heaven, earth and great rivers, and it is really not something ordinary people can enjoy.To be honest, although I nodded on the surface when I heard what he said, I didn't take it seriously in my heart.But now seeing this huge dragon corpse hanging in the endless void, he also knows the weight of these words. It's just that until now, I still feel a little weird.Is there really such a creature as a dragon in this world?I have only heard of floods in the Yangtze River and legends about floods, but most of them are caused by old pythons in deep mountains and giant turtles hiding in the riverbed.But if it is said that dragons are almost legendary creatures, not many people have seen them.I thought it was just a joke, but today's various experiences completely left me dumbfounded, and almost reversed my whole concept of the first half of my life. "Could this be the ultimate secret of the underground Tianzhu of the Wu clan of the Cuban tribe? Is this why they built a city underground in the old Yangtze River to guard it? Could it be that this dragon's skeleton locked in the endless abyss is all the reasons? Where is it?" Along the thick bronze chain, I was almost completely stunned, I opened my mouth and didn't make a sound for a long time.Inside the Tianzhu, in the endless underground abyss, it is like nothingness. The only dividing line is the dozens of ancient bronze chains tied to the huge keel... "This, this is too incredible!" My pupils contracted sharply again, this is the most shocking picture I have seen so far. "I finally know that those ancient people knew that this place was a longan, but they dared to build such a large project, because... because this place is clearly a lock dragon well!" Old Lame Wang sighed. "What do you mean?" My heart was shocked and I asked hurriedly. "Have you ever heard the rumor about the underground sea eye in the old Beijing city?" Old Lame Wang asked. I frowned: "The underground sea eye in the old Beijing city?" It is said that when Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao were building the city of Beijing, they found several sea eyes, which directly penetrated to the sea. Among them, there were three largest ones, one under the Beihai White Pagoda, and the other under a large temple in Yuquan Mountain in the west of Beijing today. Township, there is also a Beixing bridge in Dongzhimen. At that time, in order to prevent the sea eye from being flooded, the city of Beijing was flooded, so a dragon was locked in the sea eye.Later, someone built a Yuewang Temple on it, and that dragon was forever enshrined in the sea.Up to now, you can still see a well in the temple. These legends are all old sayings in old Beijing.People at that time were very superstitious, unlike now, so the well was left there and no one dared to touch it.During the Japanese puppet period, Beiping fell. When the Japanese commander heard about it, he didn't believe in evil, so he forced the people at that time to open the manhole cover.At that time, I heard that no one dared to go down, and the darkness inside did not know how deep it was.I saw a very thick iron chain, covered with red rust, extending to the deepest part of the well. At that time, the Japanese found a few courageous military policemen and asked them to put up iron chains, insisting that they wanted to see what was in the well.According to the old man, the iron chain was pulled hundreds of meters without seeing the end, and the whole street was filled with the sound of iron crashing. The Dragon Lord got angry.The Japanese also let people pull it upwards. At the end, they heard black water splashing upwards from the well, just like boiling a pot, and the water boiled.At the same time, a dull "rumbling" sound from the well and the roar of some strange animal could be heard.The Japanese were also scared when they saw it, and hurriedly asked someone to put the iron chain back.Later, the local people were afraid that something might happen, so they found a big stone slab to seal the wellhead.Since then, the well has become a forbidden place, and no one dares to touch it again.As for the legend of the Dragon Well, and what is locked under the iron chain, it has been a mystery until now. Assuming there is no dragon below, why did someone spend so much effort to cast that super long iron chain? What is his purpose?There have been different opinions, and no one knows. After the lame Wang finished telling the story, he turned his gaze to me again.I knew what he meant, and I smiled and said, "Do you think this well in the underground abyss is the same as the well under the Yuewang Temple in old Beijing?" Old Lame Wang didn't answer, and was silent for a while, then shook his head, which meant that he wasn't sure himself. "It's so fucking evil, how did the ancient people have so many ways!" I was a little annoyed. "I think the situation in this longan is similar. There must be a coffin of an important person from the Cuban Wu clan here. Otherwise, they wouldn't have spent so much effort. This longan has gathered the essence of three mountains and five mountains. Only when it is so noble Extremely talented people are qualified to be buried in it. So the ancients thought of a way and found a dragon to calm down the well, and in a disguised way, slowed down the recoil in it." Said the crippled old man Wang. "Why do I feel that the old objects in this well are so evil!" I muttered a few words. In the end, we decided to continue sliding down and land on the huge dragon corpse to have a look.There is a large area of ​​whiteness and misery in front of me. In the emptiness of the underground abyss, there is no light or warmth, and there is only coldness and darkness.The huge monster hung motionless in mid-air, locked by dozens of thick bronze chains, as if it had been stagnant there for countless years, like a mountain running across there.Looking at the picture in front of me, I always feel an indescribable desolation and loneliness, after all, it is a dragon! We finally dived to the place where the huge dragon corpse traversed. The white keel in front of us was nearly 100 meters long, full of shocking power as in the legend.The bones are like cast iron, the dragon horns are strong and powerful, with huge ferocious claws, and the whole body is shining with a vast and long-lasting aura. Dragon, this kind of creature has been a god over everything in the world of imperial power since ancient times.The Yangtze River and the Yellow River Basin have always been full of legends, but with the development of reality today, who still believes in the existence of dragons. From this, you can imagine how emotionally shocked and impacted I will be when Lao Wang and I see this shocking scene in this desolate and cold dark space.Until many years later, I still feel that the whole person is in a dream. Standing on the cold keel, the dragon corpse in front of him is like the most perfect steel sculpture. Even without any movement, it can make people feel a strong impact and shock.It's just that this dragon has long since lost its vitality, and its flesh and blood have turned into dust, leaving only its cold bones, which will live forever in this dark and lonely abyss. "That is……" After being deeply shocked, Old Cripple Wang and I took another breath of air, looked at each other, and saw the shock and horror in each other's eyes. "what is that?" "What's going on here? Why does there still seem to be something inside the keel?" Both of them were surprised. We climbed on the thick bones of the dragon corpse and moved our bodies carefully, lest one accidentally fall down, and we would surely die.The gigantic creature in front of me was a hundred meters long, and bowl-sized bronze chains were bound all over its body, including the head, tail and five claws, firmly fixing it in this dark space. You can see the dragon's abdominal cavity in front of it, with unimaginably huge white ribs, bent and closed to form a huge closed space.There are rows of dark rectangular objects inside, as if there is something there.We quickly climbed to the front, glanced around, suddenly felt cold all over, and got goosebumps all over our body. Against the background of the fire folds, we can clearly see that in the huge abdominal cavity of the dragon corpse, there are rows of huge coffins, each of which is hollowed out by black ancient wood, which looks ancient and dim. I don't know how many years have passed, but it still reveals the mystery and unpredictability that makes people palpitate. On each coffin, densely packed strange words are engraved.I read it for a long time and didn't recognize any of them, but I guessed that it should be the original language of the Guwu clan, and it was suddenly cold. "These are the great figures of the ancient Wu Clan in the past, the most trusted subordinates of the Wu King." said the lame Wang. After roughly understanding what was going on, Lao Wang and I looked at each other, and we were both shocked. Could it be that Gu Wu spent so much effort to place these coffins in the end?I don't know how long it has been, but the lids of some coffins have begun to crack and are covered with thick dust. The two couldn't help but sigh, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, even though such a huge and incredible project was built, these ancient ancestors still died here, and it is impossible to wake up again. "The bones in this coffin..." I glanced at it, and couldn't help but gasped. Not far in front of me, there was a coffin whose lid had been lifted for some reason, and through the gap, one could see a corpse lying in it, with purple-black skin and dry, yellow hair clinging to the face, looking hideous. It's like a ghost. To be honest, after this journey, what kind of terrible scene have I not seen?But in this pitch-black space, seeing the hideous dead corpse in the coffin in emptiness still shocked me a lot, and I got goosebumps all over my body. "I think this place is not right, based on my many years of experience. I'm afraid there is a great danger in this abyss, let's finish the matter as soon as possible and leave." Wang Laozi said that this place is very ominous. Otherwise, it will kill people. If an inexperienced person comes to this place, he will almost certainly die.Even with his many years of experience in tomb robbery, he didn't dare to take risks easily. "A few coffins were opened for no reason, there must be something in this place." The old cripple said in a deep voice. I looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, I found that several coffins had been opened.You know, we are now in an underground abyss, we can't go up to the sky, and we can't touch the ground below. For thousands of years, no living person has entered except us. Who opened these coffins? "Not good!" My complexion also changed, I only felt that my scalp was numb, and the hairs all over my body stood on end.This place is so evil, and it's full of weirdness, which makes people feel creepy. "You'd better be careful, I always feel that there is something watching us in the dark. Although I didn't see anything, but I am a veteran of tomb robbers, this feeling will always come true." After what Wang Laizi said, I feel that the place is haunted by yin, and both of them feel that something is wrong.The atmosphere was so weird that it made people feel chills in the back. "Look ahead quickly and climb to the dragon's head." Old Wang lame whispered. I felt strange in my heart, since this place is so evil, if I don't leave quickly, what are you doing at the dragon head?This old cripple is deep in thought, even though we have been together for so long, I still can't figure it out.However, out of some kind of trust, I followed closely behind him and crawled towards the dragon head. We climbed for about a cup of tea, and finally found the location of the dragon head.The dragon's head is much bigger than we imagined, like an ancient white temple, and the upper and lower jaws of the dragon are the temple gates. I tapped lightly on it with a dagger, making a crisp "clang-dang" sound.This keel bone is really hard enough, after thousands of years, it is still so strong, completely different from ordinary fish bones.Although there is no flesh and blood, it looks more and more ferocious. A head is the size of a truck head, with sharp teeth, which makes people afraid to look at it more.We didn't dare to stay on the dragon's head for too long. After all, we are in an underground abyss, and we don't know how deep it is below. Lift up and down. Climbing in along the position of the dragon's gills, with the light of the fire fold, we saw an extremely large bronze coffin resting on the lower jaw of the dragon.The copper outer coffin was dark and looked very old. The four sides were fixed on the keel with mortise and tenon and chains, and the coffin lid was covered with a thick layer of dust. When we saw it, we knew that the real master had really seen it.Looking carefully, there are still nine bronze lamps that look like dragons and snakes standing around the copper coffin. At first glance, they turn into a strange blue-gray color against the firelight, making them look more and more old and outdated.There are also many dense and strange patterns engraved on the copper coffin, all of which are obvious characteristics of the Wu family of the Cuban tribe, which is particularly ancient and even primitive. Lame Wang walked around the copper coffin three times and said to me: "This bronze coffin is probably the ancient Wu clan's coffin. The things we want should be hidden in it. We must open it later. " I frowned: "You mean Laoshan Ancient Dragon Clothes? Could it be hidden in this strangely shaped bronze coffin?" Old Wang Laizi said: "The Cuban people, especially the ancient Wu family, have always worshiped snakes. This old mountain ancient dragon is an old python that has lived for a hundred years. Its shed skin is a sacred object. It is most likely used as an ancient witch. The funeral objects of the king." I nodded: "There is some truth in what you said. It's just that this bronze coffin is also a special category in the historical mausoleum system. Most of the things sealed inside are a bit evil. It's not a big deal to open it. Difficult. But who knows what's in there." Elder Wang lamely said: "According to common sense, this Longyan Well is the place where nine dragons gather. It is very aura of life, and it is on this keel, so evil spirits and the like are innately restrained. Even if it is a bronze coffin It's not so easy for a dead body to happen. Unless there is something terribly ominous. Of course, that's another story." After discussing for a while, the two decided to take another look at what the coffin looked like before deciding how to proceed. Who knew that at this moment, with a "bang", the lid of the coffin moved slowly, and it was actually opened... Both of them were startled. The bronze coffin was sealed extremely tightly, unlike ordinary coffins. Even if there were any evil things sealed inside, they couldn't even think about it.No one is going to touch it now, why would it be opened for no reason?I also found it very strange, so I looked into the coffin with my head. Just this one glance made my scalp numb and my head exploded.He stammered and said, "This, where is this human?" As soon as the bronze coffin was opened, the two of them immediately felt a stench rushing towards their faces.Taking a closer look, he saw that the coffin was soaked in corpse wax, and the corpse of the king of the Wu Clan of the Cuban tribe was soaked in it, still maintaining its original appearance.It's just that the coffin is surrounded by mist and black water, so no matter how you look at the scene, you feel a kind of evil spirit.What made us even more horrified was that the corpse in the coffin was clearly a pale humanoid creature.There is nothing surprising about her body, but the neck is too long, almost like a snake's neck.He also wears a weird iron mask on his face, unable to see his true face.Only the mouth and two eyeballs were exposed, with a cold light, making it look even weirder. To be honest, I have seen a lot of corpses in ancient wooden coffins during this period of time. There are hundreds of wet corpses underground in the old Yangtze River, and the Ksitigarbha Taisui with pale and strange hands. Scared people's scalp numb.But I can say this, although those things are ugly, I can still look at them, but I really dare not take a second look at this one.It's not that this corpse of the Witch King is more terrifying than the others, but I always feel that the face hidden under the black iron mask of this thing always reveals a strangeness.Especially those two eyeballs are clearly broken gold, with a cold light, so indifferent that there is no emotion that a human being should have.Old Lame Wang was obviously terribly frightened, his face showed shock, and he said in shock: "I never thought that the Wu King of the ancient Wu Clan would look like this!" "Is this really the Witch King?" I was a little surprised and asked.But the neck looks like a snake no matter what.I was secretly amazed, Old Lame Wang looked at me, and said with some uncertainty: "Your words reminded me that there are rumors about the old Changjiang, and it is said that the ancient witch kings of all dynasties are not human." "Not human? What is that?" I looked at him. Old lame Wang took out a large bag of things from his pocket. I took a look and saw that it was a black donkey's hoof, nails or something like that.I thought to myself, I'm afraid he brought all the guys he used to eat with. Lame Wang packed up his tools and said to me: "No one knows their origins, but according to legend, once the old Yangtze River suddenly dried up, they walked out of the dry riverbed. There is also a legend that the old Yangtze River The river bed of the river communicates with the underground abyss, and the ancient witch kings of all ages are monsters who climbed up from the abyss." I thought to myself, can't I?Just looking at the serious expression of Wang Laozi, I feel a little nervous.He asked: "That can't be said in the same way. As far as I know, there is a long-necked woman family in this world. They wear copper collars since they were young. As they grow older, the copper collars on their necks continue to stack up. You can wear twenty-five or six collars. This kind of copper collar is extremely heavy, which can cause the collarbone to soften, make the neck grow, and the length of the neck can even account for one-sixth of the body. Maybe this ancient Wu family Wang also has a tradition of elongating this neck." "It's not unreasonable for you to say that. The factual truth is covered up in history, and no one knows what to do if you don't see it with your own eyes." Wang Laozi smiled mysteriously, smacked his lips, and continued: "But , This man in the iron mask still looks a bit evil. We still have to be careful, I heard that if you are bitten by the corpse poison of this thing, you will gradually be assimilated into their own kind, and your neck will grow so long." Although I thought he was joking with me, I couldn't help shivering.Damn, if you turn into this monster, you might as well die. "Just, that's all. Don't make jokes in this kind of place. I'll talk about it later if there is a danger of becoming such a monster. What I want to ask now is that the bronze coffin has been opened, what should we do next?"王老跛子被我这一通抢白，也知道现在不是开玩笑的时候，就对我说：“一般来说，最重要的陪葬品都是放在棺椁主人的身边，也就是棺材内。但现在看这个青铜棺椁，里面都是尸蜡，这还不太好办了。” 我一想也是，现在这种情况，我实在是没有胆子把手插入这尸蜡中掏东西，尤其是看到棺材内惨白的，跟条蛇一般的铁面人，更觉得有些恶心。于是我们商量一下，看看棺椁的周围还有没有藏东西的地点。 就在我移动脚步的时候，正好看到铁面人嘴巴微张，他的嘴里面好像含着什么东西，看形状好像是颗红色的珠子。“这个是什么东西？”我心里暗暗惊奇。听说慈禧老佛爷死后，她嘴里就含着一颗夜明珠，孙殿英那伙人挖开棺盖的时候，慈禧的脸还是红润的，跟活人差不多，这就是夜明珠的作用。莫非这铁面人口里也含着这个东西？那可是绝世奇珍。 边想着，我就把这个发现告诉了王老跛子。他惊奇道：“奶奶的，这可是好东西啊。有了这东西，那什么老山古龙衣都可以不要了，这可是传说中的摩尼珠，是世间一切邪祟、毒物的克星。有这东西在，小梅和栓子所中的金蛇蠡痋也就微不足道了。” “摩尼珠？”我皱起了眉头，忽然脑中灵光一闪，惊呼道，“你、你是说，这是龙的……” 所谓的摩尼珠，其实来讲就是民间说的龙的颌下珠，大小如鸽子蛋，通体赤红如血，万毒不侵。一说是真龙归化时所留，还有的说是地下龙脉千丈处，由龙脉精华凝聚成，亦有说是龙的下颌骨遇火焚化，种种传说莫衷一是。 庄子就说过，在九重之渊的骊龙的颌下有珠，甚至把这段话写在了书中。 我惊奇地叫道：“这可是好东西啊，可是怎么把它拿出来？这家伙带着铁面具，只留下嘴上一个黑糊糊的小洞，万一一个没弄好让他吞下去的话，总不能开肠破肚拿出来吧。” 王老跛子道：“在摸斗门中，有一门技艺，就是专门对付这种铁面尸的，叫做蚌里取珠。其实就是一种特殊的二指禅功，探入口中而不觉。如果用在盗门中，又被叫做缺一门。有如神来之手，贼临身，被偷者甚至连少了什么东西也不知道。” 我说道：“敢情这淘斗，盗墓还有这么多门道，今天算是长了见识了。可是这么做，未免太危险了吧，把手指头探进去，万一这狗日的真是个大粽子，一口咬下去该怎么办？” 王老跛子笑着，从怀里取出了一双黑糊糊的铁筷子，说道：“所以我每大行其事时，都会带足了工具，这一双铁筷子，本就是为了蚌里取珠特意准备的，有它在，就没有任何的危险了。” 我一想也是，但是心中还是对那青铜棺椁中面有妖异的铁面尸有几分忌惮，于是就怂恿道：“那既然如此，那就看您老的手艺了。我就不掺和进去了，毕竟专业的事，还是要交给专业的人干吧，嘿嘿，外行指挥内行就不太好了。” 王老跛子看了我一眼，深深地吸了一口气，也没有再说什么，右手熟练地握住两根黑色的铁筷子，十分稳健地向铁面尸的口中探去。而我则在一旁，紧张得连呼吸都要停止了。眼见着那双铁筷子快要探入铁面尸的口中，这个时候，我突然听到了一声女人的尖笑。紧接着，就看到王老跛子手腕上突然一紧，被一只不知道从哪里伸出来的，纤细的惨白人手死死地扣住，他急忙向后缩手。但那只女人手扣住他的手脖子很紧，一时竟挣脱不开。 紧接着，又是一只白生生的人手，呼地从青铜棺椁里面冷不丁地伸了出来，一把掐住了王老跛子的脖子。 我倒吸了一口冷气，整个人头皮都要炸开了，正要上去帮忙，就听到王老跛子冲我低声一喝。这老家伙也是个厉害角色，根本没有顾得上那两只鬼手，右手腕一挑，竟然生生地将那铁面尸口中的摩尼珠挑了出来，一下子拨到我的身前，我赶紧一把抓住。 这时候就见王老跛子整个脖子都被那纤细干枯的女人手箍了起来，头被拉得仰了起来，整个人呼吸困难，整张脸憋得青紫。我害怕这老跛子出现什么意外，狠狠一咬牙，把心一横，就要上去帮忙。却被他一把制止住了，这老家伙原本就是鄂西土夫子出身，生平盗墓掘冢，杀人越货，什么世面没见过？眼下里身处险境，还面不改色，他脸上显现出狠辣的表情。 只见他低头一把抓住了那个掐住他脖子的女人的手，整个人向上一提，哗啦一声，青铜棺椁里尸蜡飞溅，一个黑糊糊的东西生生被他带了出来。 我虽然已经作好了某些方面的准备，但突然见到眼下这场面还是忍不住倒吸了一口冷气。只见被王老跛子从棺材中拽出来的东西，分明是一个黑糊糊的肉瘤子。长着黑毛，有八条蟹脚一般的毛腿，最上面卷曲着两只枯手。最诡异的是，在肉瘤子的背面居然还长着一张惨白的没有半点血色的人脸，看起来就如厉鬼一般。事后想来，恐怕刚才的一切都是这鬼东西在作怪。 王老跛子把这东西从棺材中拽了出来，只是大口大口地喘着粗气，脸上的表情却愈发地凝重了起来。那东西整个显露在外，突然尖叫了一声。声音凄厉，刺得人耳膜生疼。 王老跛子赶紧从口袋抓出了一把粉末状的东西，迅速撒在那肉瘤子上。那张小脸再次尖叫了起来，八只蟹脚就想向旁边爬去。王老跛子马上抽出一根钉尸钉，反手一插，生生把那个肉瘤子连同小脸钉死在了龙头墓室的隔板上，那肉瘤子痛苦地扭动身形，很快便没了动静。 王老跛子又冲那肉瘤子撒了一把什么东西，几下的工夫，整个人脸都化成了黏糊糊的脓水，流淌开来，顺着隔板上的缝隙滴了下去。我骇然地看着他，半天后，才开口问道：“这、这什么东西？” 王老跛子面无表情，冷冷地说道：“这是鬼脸栖！据说是厉鬼附在蜘蛛的身上长成的一种怪物。以尸气为生，只有用钉尸钉钉在木板上，才能将其杀死。我以前在河南盗一处五代古墓时，曾经遇见过一次。” 我看着他的表情，心想，这老东西还真是他妈的深藏不露，和这种老狐狸比起来，我和三胖子似乎都显得太嫩了。但想是想，我口中可不敢说出来，正想开口问他，下步该怎么办。 这时候只见王老跛子整个脸色都变了，我心中纳闷，不知道哪里又出了古怪。紧接着，便听到对面巨大的青铜棺椁中传来了“咚咚咚”的声音，然后整个棺材都开始剧烈地晃动了起来。 王老跛子脸色惨白，大叫一声：“小子，赶快走，没时间了。” 我知道这老家伙性情深沉，见惯了大风大浪，能让他这么惊慌失措的，整个事情肯定已经紧张到刻不容缓的地步了。于是对王老跛子喊道：“小心点，你也赶快上来。” 说完，我赶紧把那颗性命攸关的摩尼珠塞进了怀里，脚踩着龙骨上的隔板，沿着开始的那根碗口大的青铜锁链，拼命向上爬去。
