As the nine coffins fell to the ground, wow!
The mysterious black shadow under the Hualong Pond finally surfaced.
But that's not the coffin everyone imagined.
It's actually a monument.
The stele is as black as ink, larger than a millstone, and heavier than a millstone. The surface is carved with snake-like characters.
The moment the monument emerged from the pool, bang!
The weapon in the captain's hand flew towards the monument uncontrollably and clung tightly to the monument.
Then the various iron tools carried by everyone, including Jin'an's Husha Dao and the old Taoist Yin-Yang Compass, were not spared, and were all sucked away by the stele.
Then they were all defiled by the corpse water gathered in the Hualong Pond.
boom! boom!
The captain had just taken off his half-breastplate in a hurry. As soon as the half-breastplate left the captain's body, it was immediately sucked away by the black stone.
Very strong magnetism.
The completely black stele hung in the Hualong Pond is actually a huge magnet, and it is also a rare treasure whose magnetic power is no less powerful than a neodymium magnet.
Because even Jin An couldn't hold the tiger evil sword, all the iron weapons on his body were sucked away instantly.
If General Duwei had not reacted quickly at the last moment and hurriedly took off his armor, which was no different from an iron coffin, he would have been crushed alive by the front and rear armors and his internal organs would be crushed to death.
"The tomb in this imperial mausoleum is really hard to steal. There are all kinds of mechanisms along the way. As expected, the tomb of the Lord of Teng Kingdom is not easy to dig. He didn't forget to trick us at the last moment." The old Taoist priest felt heartbroken. His yin-yang compass.
Because in the Yin Mansion, we are looking for the right acupoints, whether we can get rid of the Dragon King and walk out of the mausoleum, we can all use the compass to find a way out.
It was the last moment, and they were so tricked by the leader of the Teng Kingdom. Who knows if they could find their way back when they were trapped in a huge mausoleum like a maze.
This change was unexpected by no one and caused a small chaos in the team.
"This magnet is so powerful that we all fell in love with it. I'm afraid this magnet is an alien stone. It was polished into a monument by the Lord of Teng Kingdom to prevent outsiders from destroying his body." As a member of the imperial court, The captain has been exposed to more secrets, and as he is well-informed, he has already recognized the origin of this extraordinary magnet.
Jin An frowned and looked at the Husha Dao that was sucked away by the black stele.
The smelting technology of neodymium magnets is complex, and I am afraid that in this era of backward production, it may not be possible to smelt it.
Only extraterrestrial stones can explain why a magnet more powerful than neodymium magnets appeared in ancient tombs thousands of years ago.
"By the way, if the magnet from the alien stone is so powerful today, why are the iron chains above our heads not affected by the magnet?"
Some people looked curiously at the chains hanging up the monument.
This time it was Jin An who answered the question: "Actually, there are many metals in the world that are not affected by magnets, such as gold, silver, copper, lead, etc."
…
Boom!
At this moment, the Hualong Pond emerged from the water with the stele, and the entire platform began to shake. The ten people were a little unsteady, as if they had cut off the iron chain of the Nine Dragon Coffin and triggered some mechanism in the pond.
Boom!
The platform was still shaking violently.
Then everyone saw that the water in the pool dropped rapidly in the fast-flowing whirlpool and was emptied. Finally, a corpse at the bottom of the pool was finally revealed.
"Mom, it's so big!"
After the old Taoist priest saw clearly what was happening under the pond, he was stunned and said something.
Under the drained pool, there was a huge tree stump. The tree stump was so thick that it was difficult for the ten of them to hug it together. It was vigorous, and the vicissitudes of the tree bark had a heavy sense of time, and liquid was still dripping down.
The log was so thick that it was difficult for the ten of them to hug it together. It was vigorous, and the vicissitudes of the tree bark had a thick feeling of age, and liquid was still dripping down.
Such a big log.
No matter where.
They are all precious spiritual objects in the world. They have been transformed into gods for thousands of years. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are sacred trees.
And on the tree stump, lying flat on the ground, was a male corpse whose body fluids had not yet drained away.
Lord of Teng Kingdom!
Everyone was in high spirits.
The person who could appear in the depths of the imperial mausoleum and be buried in such a solemn manner must be the leader of the Teng Kingdom they had been looking for.
"The tree stumps in this pool are really big. Isn't this tree about ten thousand years old? Not to mention the ten thousand year sacred tree, even the thousand year wood is precious wood, but whether it is the thousand year wood or the giant trees seen in the underground palace in front The dragon pillar pales in comparison to this log, and the elbows touch the thighs."
Everyone looked at each other. It was no longer appropriate to say anything about shrinking at this time. Moreover, after going through all kinds of hardships, they were finally about to meet the legendary leader of Teng Kingdom, the Dragon King. I was so excited that I wanted to go into the pool immediately to see what the legendary Dragon King looked like? Is it really a shoe face?
In the dark tomb, just when everyone had a tacit understanding and was about to go under the pool at the same time, suddenly, the nine coffins that circled the platform suddenly slid open and crashed into Jin An and the others in the dark tomb.
He finally dodged the coffin lid that suddenly flew towards him. When Jin An turned around and looked in the direction behind him, he saw the corpse of a human being and a dragon half-sit up in the coffin. Wearing a bronze mask that looked like it was used for sacrifices and full of inscriptions, he opened his eyes. A pair of black and white eyes were staring directly at these "grave robbers" who disturbed the peace of the dead in the dim environment.
"Your mother!"
"The body has been raised!"
The sudden appearance of a fake corpse shocked the old Taoist priest and the mourner brothers so much that they were about to take action on the spot, but were stopped by Jin An and the captain in unison.
"There's something wrong with these bodies!"
"Don't do anything yet!"
Jin An and the captain looked at each other in surprise at the same time, feeling a little surprised that the other party could find something wrong with the corpse in front of them just like themselves.
After the initial shock, the old Taoist priest also saw something wrong with the corpse in front of him and frowned: "This corpse doesn't seem to move? It seems to be a completely dead thing?"
"Since the nine sons of the dragon are the ones who feed the Dragon King, no matter how unwilling or resentful the people buried in these nine coffins were during their lifetime, the yin, evil spirit, and resentment used to nourish the corpses in these coffins have probably already been destroyed. The dragon king is sucked dry, leaving only an empty shell. The nine sons of the dragon eventually become a dragon king."
This wave kept coming, so everyone decided to get rid of the corpses in the nine coffins first, and then go down to the pond to deal with the Dragon King, so as not to be attacked by the corpses in the nine coffins on the shore after they got into the pond. .
Everyone held torches and came to the coffin with vigilance, and soon found out why the corpse in the coffin suddenly appeared.
It turned out that there was a very sophisticated bronze mechanism hidden in this coffin.
There is a secret lock in the coffin. When the coffin is shaken and loses its balance, the corpse liquid in the coffin will shake violently, which will activate the secret lock and mechanisms, and eject the heavy coffin lid to attack tomb robbers or outsiders.
Then, a green and rusty bronze bracket will pop up on the back of the corpse, which will hold the corpse up, creating the illusion of a fake corpse.
In fact, all of this is a set of sophisticated mechanisms that scare people.
In order to get verification, everyone held up torches and began to inspect the nine coffins on the huge platform in front of them.
As expected, all nine coffins had hidden mechanisms. When the internal balance of the coffin was broken and the lid was ejected, the human and dragon corpses inside were propped up by the mechanism, creating the illusion of a fake corpse.
"What? The corpses in these coffins, except for being scary at first, turned out not to be dangerous at all. The leader of the Teng Kingdom is also bored. He spent so much time laying out the mystery, just to scare away the tomb robbers. ?”
The old Taoist priest muttered.
"Sharp sword, what's wrong with you?"
"Did you discover anything?"
In the tomb, Jin An suddenly saw that Xi Jian had been studying one of the corpses. He stood in front of the coffin, staring at the half-sitting motionless human and dragon corpses, and then he was not afraid of the corpses of the dead and those disgusting people at all. Liquid, hands began to touch the body.
When he touched the abdomen of the human dragon's corpse, the sword suddenly felt like an electric shock. He pulled his hand back and returned to Jin An with a solemn expression.
Xiajian looked at Jin An: "Master, there is an inner elixir hidden in the dantian of these corpses seven inches away."
Neidan?
Everyone was stunned for a moment and shouted in surprise.
"There is an inner elixir in the dantian. Doesn't it mean that the leader of the Teng Kingdom is really the reincarnation of a real dragon? Isn't the inner elixir in the dantian of these people the dragon's inner elixir?"
"That's the dragon's inner elixir, brother. Isn't this thing priceless?"
The mourner's brother said in surprise.
The eldest brother of the mourner also stared straight at this time, looking straight at the corpse of the human dragon that was half-seated in the coffin in front of him: "This is not only priceless but has no market, it is already a rare treasure! It is rare to find it!"
Unexpectedly, Chi Jian's next words quickly broke the two brothers' illusions.
"That's not the dragon's inner elixir, it's the corpse elixir that was smelted by a Taoist master who made alchemy with the highly toxic substances left over from the elixir. It was hidden in the corpse. When the mechanism was triggered, it detonated the highly toxic corpse elixir hidden in the corpse." Dan. It’s used to guard against those grave robbers who steal the corpses without making any mistakes.”
"The Dragon King is not using these corpses to scare people, but if the mechanism fails, when you damage or move the corpses just now, the poisonous corpse elixir hidden in the corpses will also be erupted." When Chi Jian said this. , glanced dullly at the old Taoist priest and the mourner.
The three of them looked embarrassed.
"It must have been too long, and many mechanisms have aged and malfunctioned, so these corpses did not detonate the poisonous corpse elixir in their bodies when they sat up." Chi Jian finally concluded.
The thief is indeed a thief.
Sharpening a sword is professional.
"Brother Sword Sharpener, you are so awesome. Your vision and knowledge are simply more professional than those of a tomb robber. Anyway, I didn't expect that there would be so many doorways and mechanisms in the next tomb. Let's ask a less capable tomb robber to dig it. This imperial mausoleum from a thousand years ago, let alone successfully passing the Suspension Bridge of the Dead Man's Walk, I'm afraid I can't even recognize the fake tomb."
As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional. The words of the mourner will make the others subconsciously take a second look at the sword.
Afterwards, everyone reached a consensus.
Don't touch the nine human and dragon corpses if you have nothing to do.
To avoid accidentally triggering the poisonous corpse elixir in the corpse.
…
Since the nine human-dragon corpses were not in danger for the time being, everyone gathered around the Dragon Transformation Pond where the corpse liquid had dried up, and then carefully and cautiously descended to the bottom of the pond.
When I got to the bottom of the pond and took a closer look, I realized that the tree stump at the bottom of the pond was far more visually impactful than what I saw on the shore.
"For such a huge tree, the first thing I thought of was the Jianmu in myths and legends." The old Taoist priest sighed in surprise.
But immediately, everyone was shocked to discover that this log tree stump, which had been soaked in corpse liquid for thousands of years, was still as new as when it was first cut down. The roots of the tree stump stretched out under the pond and into the ground of the platform. I don’t know where it leads.
especially.
This tree stump has been soaked in the stinky corpse fluid for so long.
Surprisingly, there was no pungent stench of rotting corpses at all.
Quite the opposite.
It also carries the fragrance of thousand-year-old agarwood.
The old Taoist priest seemed to have thought of something. He surrounded the tree stump and said in surprise: "The Lord of Teng Kingdom buried himself wet in this Dragon Transformation Pond. Could this tree stump be the legendary soul-nurturing tree?"
Speaking of this, the old Taoist priest's eyes widened in shock.
"Mother!"
"Sure enough, he is worthy of being the king of a country, even if it is just the imperial mausoleum of the king of a small country. These rare treasures collected from all over the world have opened my eyes to the old man today. Such a huge tree that is thousands of years old to nourish the soul. Mu, I never dared to think about it before."
"It's no wonder that there are so many thieves in this world who always like to lurk underground at day and night. Just because you have such a broad horizon and can see all kinds of legendary treasures, even if you die, it's worth it."
The old Taoist priest sighed in surprise.
At this time, even the monk Hongzhao, the elder of Bailong Temple's Taoist Enlightenment Dean, looked up with emotion and looked up at the huge stone tablet hanging above his head.
Monk Hongzhao clasped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist chant in a low voice with emotion: "Amitabha, the Lord of Teng Kingdom, or the Dragon King, the burial objects after his death are not ordinary at all."
"Except for the ten-thousand-year soul-nurturing tree in front of us, even the magnet above our heads is not as simple as an extraterrestrial stone."
"The Teng text on this magnet means 'Corpse Suppressing Monument' when translated."
"Corpse monument?" The captain looked at Monk Hongzhao in confusion.
As a result, when the old Taoist priest, the mourner, and the country goddess heard the words "Corpse Suppression Monument," they all looked shocked and horrified.
"Corpse Suppression Monument!"
The mourner brothers looked up at the magnet above their heads in stunned silence, muttering that if it was really a corpse-suppressing monument, they would not lose at all if they just folded it into their hands.
Seeing the horrified looks on several people's faces, the captain became even more curious: "Master Hongzhao, what exactly is a corpse-suppressing monument?"
Monk Hongzhao once again glanced at the huge black monument hanging above his head, lowered his head and said: "Amitabha, I won't be able to explain the origin of this corpse-suppressing monument to the captain for a while. I can only say that if we have this huge monument in front of us, The tree stump is really a ten thousand year soul nourishing tree, so the origin of the corpse stele is no less precious than the ten thousand year soul nourishing tree."
"No wonder the leader of the Teng Kingdom is so confident. He set up the Hualong Pond, confident that he can come back from the dead on Huangquan Road. It is also a soul-nurturing tree, a corpse-suppressing monument, and a Hualong Pond of the Nine Sons of Dragons and Dragonfly Dian Shui Bureau. It’s not simple.”
The more they saw so many extraordinary treasures, the more curious they became about what the Lord of the Teng Kingdom looked like. At this time, everyone, including Jin An, looked at the soul-nurturing tree more curiously. That corpse...
