The text on the mural describes the life of the tomb owner. It said that the owner of this tomb was a supervisor of the former Qing Dynasty Tianjian, who was in charge of the celestial calendar, and his surname was Fu Taoping. Fuping once spent ten spring and autumn years in the Qintian Prison, and later lived in seclusion here. He wanted to spend the rest of his life in peace, but he didn't know that his fate was determined by fate, and he was involved in a turmoil, which eventually led to his untimely death.
As the Imperial Supervisor, Fuping was proficient in Qimen Dunjia, Talisman and Seal Script, Formation and Gangbu, Five Elements and Bagua, and fortune telling. He built this tomb for himself as soon as he came to Shaoxing, hoping that it would be restored a hundred years later. Able to go to the underworld to enjoy blessings. He painstakingly designed a virtual tomb and arranged countless secrets inside the tomb.
These stories seem commonplace and exaggerated, and they are all common tactics. They are just talking about how amazing this person designed the tomb, and warning those who would rob the tomb that they would die badly if they disturbed the old man's peaceful dream. I sighed: "This master has put so much thought into peace after death, but he didn't expect us to come in."
"Anyway, we finally know who the owner of the tomb is." Lin Xiaoyu looked a little excited, "Li Rui, how about we go take a look at the sarcophagus?"
The sarcophagus was suspended by iron ropes, apparently to prevent moisture from the ground from entering. The sarcophagus was covered with strange words, and I recognized them at a glance as a kind of charm. Ancient Taoists used yellow paper and cinnabar to draw talismans to suppress evil spirits. However, it is not uncommon to carve talismans on coffins and walls. This sarcophagus is full of talismans and is obviously meant to suppress evil spirits.
I analyzed the talismans carefully and said, "There are about ten kinds of these talismans, and they are all used for sealing. If the prediction is correct, the owner inside should be frozen."
Lin Xiaoyu nodded, "You know so much, should we open it and take a look?"
"That's necessary!" I agreed and affirmed: "Have you forgotten why we came down here?"
"Of course I know, naturally I'm looking for clues!"
"Do you think our message box is used by Fuping to communicate with other people?"
"Probably!"
"Look, this Fu Ping is an Imperial Supervisor. He himself has a lot to do with this supernatural thing. In order to prevent the spread of the matter, he uses this extremely safe copper box. That box of yours may be him. The last message delivered, the one we saw in the village in the morning may be the one in his hand.”
"Although this is a coincidence, it is not impossible. Let's just make this bold assumption!"
"If this is really the case, does it mean something else when you say that the person inside turned into a zombie?"
Lin Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat, "Are you saying that he might have known some secret and then turned into a zombie?"
"I didn't say, this is mostly a hypothesis. Having said that, since we are all here, we all want to see how this thing inside is like?" I said while gearing up, "Anyway, this old rice dumpling is a leftover Incredible!"
They looked around, looked up and down, and wondered: "It's strange, how is this iron rope tied up?"
"It seems that if we want to open the coffin, we have to find out where this mechanism is?" I carefully searched for the control mechanism on the surrounding walls and muttered impatiently, "Is it necessary to make it so troublesome?"
I don't know what happened, but when I was at my wits' end, Lin Xiaoyu seemed to have touched some mechanism, and there was a sudden heavy sound above Hongding, like a huge machine starting to operate. I immediately looked up and saw two hanging iron ropes starting to twist, and the sarcophagus slowly rose.
I opened my eyes wide and asked quickly: "What's going on?"
"I saw a small bump on the wall, it should be a mechanism, so I pressed it." Lin Xiaoyu explained, "I don't know what happened?"
"Strange, why is it still rising?" I stared at the rising sarcophagus in confusion.
When the sarcophagus rose to a height of two or three meters above the ground, a platform slowly rose on the ground below the sarcophagus. The platform was entirely made of bluestone, square, with three floors, about one meter high. The platform and the bottom of the sarcophagus can even accommodate an adult standing.
After a while, the bottom of the sarcophagus slowly opened up, like a landslide, with one end connected to the platform and the other end still on top of the sarcophagus. As the stone slab was slowly lowered, the mystery of the person lying inside was finally revealed.
He is dressed in the court uniform of an upright official, with a red crown and black gauze on his head, a flower feather on the crown, and a string of court beads hanging around his neck. Looking at it, the face was brown, the skin and flesh were dried, the eyes were protruding, the mouth showed fangs, and the nails on the ten fingers of each hand were about half a foot long.
"It looks like a flying corpse."
"How are you going to deal with him?"
"It's almost impossible for him to hurt me, but the flying zombie moves quickly, so it may not be easy to restrain it."
"Ah?" Lin Xiaoyu looked at me in surprise, "What should I do?"
"Hey, I'm just saying it's a bit difficult to handle, but I'm not saying there's nothing we can do about it. We don't have someone to deal with. If there's something wrong with him, it'll be easy to deal with him."
"Huh? How long has it been and you are still talking nonsense."
As soon as he finished speaking, the flying corpse suddenly jumped up, jumping very high on the spot. With a "boom", it smashed the heavy sarcophagus on its head to pieces, and the hat on its head was also smashed to pieces. , the hair was scattered, making it even more ferocious and terrifying. He let out a low howl and jumped up again. This time he actually spun around in mid-air. His arms stretched forward were like a high-speed rotating propeller, and the two arm-thick iron ropes responded to the sound. cut off.
As the iron rope fell heavily to the ground, Lin Xiaoyu and I couldn't help but scream. The flying corpse's hearing was extremely keen, and he suddenly rushed toward me. He jumped up and jumped nearly ten meters. I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Before I could blink, I rolled and barely dodged the blow.
However, I am quite skilled. Before the flying corpse could turn around, I had already sacrificed the dagger with my right hand. In my haste, I recited a few spells that my grandfather had taught me. My words flew up and down non-stop. However, even though the dagger hit Feizhi's chest, it didn't have any hindrance at all and pounced forward again. I didn't even try to dodge this time. When it pounced on me, I held the engineer's shovel in my hand. His right hand saw the right moment and slashed hard at its claws.
In the blink of an eye, ten half-foot-long nails fell to the ground. But I still didn't dare to relax, and immediately took a few steps back, while the engineer shovel was facing the guy in a defensive posture. Lin Xiaoyu on the other side could see clearly that all ten fingers had just been cut off neatly, and soon new nails were squeezed out of the nail caps. The rapidly growing nails even turned out the flesh.
Lin Xiaoyu was shocked and shouted to be careful. Little did she know that her cry would expose herself to the flying corpse. The thing immediately changed its target and headed straight for Lin Xiaoyu. I was screaming in my heart that I regretted it, but there was nothing I could do. The flying corpse moved quickly, and in an instant, it had wiped a claw towards Lin Xiaoyu's neck.
"Fuck, what are you shouting for?" I could only worry.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiaoyu immediately jumped to the side with very agile movements. And at some unknown moment, she was holding something like a dagger in her hand, waving it around randomly. However, Lin Xiaoyu did not choose to attack from its hands like I did, but directly aimed at his feet.
Flying zombies can leap nearly ten meters away and move very fast, but this also limits their attack. When they get close, they often can only stay put. Therefore, it is very wise to choose to attack his lower body at this time.
I saw Lin Xiaoyu's actions and secretly broke into a cold sweat, "Be careful!"
Lin Xiaoyu rolled on the ground and was able to get close to its lower body, and then slashed hard on its calf. Although the dagger was rusty, it was still extremely sharp. The heavy blow really knocked it back. I saw the flying corpse wailing, flying back, and jumped to the wall.
But before Lin Xiaoyu could be proud, it suddenly flew over again, crushing down on Lin Xiaoyu's head like a mountain. It was too late, but it was too late. I smashed the engineering shovel directly over and rushed towards Lin Xiaoyu. While running, I happened to see a few bright weapons in the corner. I didn't care at this time, so I picked up two and smashed them over. One of them hit its chest, but there was still no improvement, and the other missed and hit the wall behind it.
There was a "bang" sound.
It was this crisp sound that attracted Fei Zhi's attention. It hesitated slightly. I took advantage of this gap to protect Lin Xiaoyu.
At this time, I don't know what happened, but the flying corpse became violent and bumped around in fear. It was like a wild beast with nowhere to escape, running back and forth in the cage.
Lin Xiaoyu looked at me who was protecting herself in panic, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "You——" Maybe I suppressed her hand or other places, which made her feel uncomfortable and she retracted in embarrassment.
I scolded: "You were so reckless just now. Do you know how powerful you are this time?"
Lin Xiaoyu pursed her lips. Although she felt a little wronged, she endured it.
I pulled her up, looked at the dagger in her hand, and asked: "What did you cut it with just now? That thing seems to be quite sharp. I tell you, thanks to this rag , otherwise you would be running around here like him now!"
Speaking of the dangerous scene just now, in desperation, he touched a bronze sword that was buried with him on the ground. Lin Xiaoyu raised the dagger in his hand and took a look, "This was picked up from the ground. It seems to be the one with the sword." What fell out of the smashed sarcophagus must be burial objects."
She handed me the ancient bronze sword. I saw that the dagger was about one foot three inches long, covered with patina, and the blade was stained with brown blood from the flying corpse's leg. Although the sword body is still in good condition, many places are damaged and broken, mainly the hilt is missing, and it looks like a piece of scrap metal. I sighed, "Even if you take this thing to the top and sell it, it can only be sold as scrap metal."
"Hey, hey, this can't be done. You saved my life anyway. I have to keep it as a souvenir!"
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you talking about? The person who saved you is right in front of you, okay? Tell me how you plan to repay my life-saving grace!" I teased, "Otherwise, I will reluctantly agree to sacrifice my life for you. Make a promise."
"How dare you to daydream, you are so beautiful!"
"Oh, I think we are such a talented and beautiful person that we are made for each other."
"Tch, just you?"
The two were teasing each other, and I seemed to notice something was wrong, "Hey, why is that thing not moving?"
Lin Xiaoyu also became alert and looked around, "Strange, he seems to be missing!"
"It seemed like he was frightened just now and was thrashing about - he wouldn't have gone somewhere else, right?"
"Then look for it quickly."
