"Fat brother, be careful!" Xie Tianyun shouted worriedly.
"Be careful! It's just a broken stone. Could there be a Sun Wukong inside?" Zhou Kai spat and fired a ball of fire to burn the sarcophagus.
"Brother...don't...don't cause trouble." Zhang Xiaosheng shouted quickly.
"It's good if something goes wrong. At least you know who to hit! I'm so tired of spending so much time here! Is this broken stone really a coffin? It doesn't look like a fun thing at first glance. It's so sinister! Could it be that there's something underneath? Is it a scary thing? Maybe it’s not in the coffin? This thing, I think, is just a demon-suppressing stone, with Monkey King underneath it." Zhou Kai cursed.
"Demon-suppressing stone?" Sun Renyi's eyes lit up.
"Senior brother, do you know?" Ye Gufeng looked up at him.
"Many years ago, I remember reading a book that seemed to mention this thing... It was too long ago and I really can't remember it, but it sounds familiar." Sun Renyi blinked and racked his brains to recall.
"The demon-suppressing stone...the demon-suppressing stone...the demon-suppressing stone?" Yu Xiaolong thought he had heard it somewhere before, and he thought hard.
"Fat brother, there are no monsters down there, at most it's just a ghost, a very powerful ghost, hehe." Zhang Xiaosheng said with a smile.
"Who cares about monsters and ghosts! If you don't come out, you are a coward! Monsters have monster-suppressing stones, and ghosts have ghost-suppressing stones!" Zhou Kai chuckled.
"Ghost-suppressing stone? Ghost-suppressing stone...Ghost-suppressing sarcophagus!" Yu Xiaolong's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered that when he was in Maoshan, he checked the books in the Scripture Pavilion, and one of them contained a ghost-suppressing sarcophagus. He found it very interesting at the time and watched it for a long time.
He immediately took a long breath, meditated on the ground and closed his eyes. I tried hard to recall the contents of the book, and also remembered the records about the runes.
Sun Renyi noticed that Yu Xiaolong suddenly became silent, and he knew in his heart that there might be some clues.
Just as Wanyanfeng was about to say something, Sun Renyi put his finger to his mouth and shook his head. At the same time, he reminded others, including Zhou Kai, to try to create a quiet environment so that Xiaolong could concentrate on thinking.
Zhou Kai simply sat on the sarcophagus, stopped complaining and venting, dragging his cheeks and blinking quietly.
It is recorded in the book Yu Xiaolong Ji that the ghost-suppressing sarcophagus was formed from the iron ring on the peach wood sword after Zhong Kui's death, and it has a powerful deterrent force. For thousands of years, it has been used to suppress untamable targets at least the Ghost Emperor level.
Such ghosts do many evil things, are cruel in nature, have harmed many innocent lives, and cannot be tamed or surrendered. Because there may be some forces behind it, they cannot be driven away and can only be suppressed for a long time with some powerful magic weapons.
"Ghost-suppressing sarcophagus!" Yu Xiaolong opened his eyes and blurted out.
"What? Ghost-suppressing sarcophagus? I seem to have heard of it, but I don't understand it at all." Sun Renyi was startled.
Yu Xiaolong recounted all the detailed information recorded in the ancient books.
"Brother Yu, I saw the sarcophagus move twice at that time." Wan Yanfeng said.
"Ah? Are you sure you're not dazzled?" Yu Xiaolong asked.
"No! Why spend it? I'm not short-sighted, I can see clearly!" Wan Yanfeng pouted.
When Zhou Kai heard this, he looked at his feet and flew back quickly: "Fuck...Miss Feng, you didn't tell me earlier!"
"I was going to say it then, but you didn't listen. And I only moved once twice, very slightly." Wan Yanfeng said aggrievedly.
While he was talking, the sarcophagus suddenly made a sound and moved again.
Everyone saw this scene and looked at each other blankly.
"Did that thing move?" Zhou Kai asked softly.
"Yes! Do you believe it now?" Wan Yanfeng said.
"Ghost-suppressing sarcophagus...what's going on?" Sun Renyi said to himself.
"Oh, Blind Sun, what's going on isn't what we're thinking about right now. What's important is what's underneath, and what if it comes out!" Zhou Kai shouted anxiously.
While he was talking, the sarcophagus moved again, even more than before.
"The yin energy is so strong!" Zhang Xiaosheng said with a frown.
"You feel it too?" Yu Xiaolong asked.
Zhang Xiaosheng nodded, breathing heavier.
"What...what is coming out of this?" Zhou Kai hid behind Sun Renyi.
"Look at your potential! Your limbs are underdeveloped and your mind is simple." Sun Renyi ridiculed.
"Shut up! I am the queen, you come up." Zhou Kai pouted and said.
"The Yin energy is indeed much heavier." Liu Mingqiang looked at Wang Tianxiang, who nodded.
Sun Renyi and Ye Gufeng were still sitting there studying the runes, trying to figure out what was underneath so they could take countermeasures.
Yu Xiaolong looked at the runes drawn by Liu Mingqiang with all his concentration, racking his brains to think.
These runes have some language-like graphics. These languages seem to be very early writings. Sun Renyi has deciphered a few words and is still working hard.
There are not many records about the ghost-suppressing sarcophagus in ancient books, only a few pages, and there are a few places where the original meaning cannot be clearly seen due to the age.
What is certain is that there is something evil and powerful under the sarcophagus. According to a series of signs, we can know that it must be a ghost.
In the past few years, Yu Xiaolong has experienced many life-and-death battles, met several powerful enemies, and encountered several powerful ghosts.
The experience of fighting was a near-death experience. Although he was close to death several times, fortunately, he escaped unscathed in the end.
The ghost he was going to face this time made Yu Xiaolong feel vaguely uneasy. Just the yin energy emitted made him a little unbearable, as if there was someone sitting on his chest, feeling suffocated.
He had a premonition that this time would be the most severe one since he entered the spiritual world.
"Qian...136...Gen...257...wrong." Sun Renyi frowned and studied the runes.
Looking at the sarcophagus that was constantly emitting yin energy, Liu Mingqiang said, "Let me go over and take a look."
"No! Don't go there now!" Yu Xiaolong firmly stopped him.
Xie Tianyun gasped, took out a pill and swallowed it.
Zhou Kai saw this and asked softly: "Brother Yun, what medicine did you take?"
"The yin energy is too strong, I'll take some to relieve it, hehe." Xie Tianyun said with a smile.
"Okay, you actually eat it yourself? Or are you not a brother? Give me one quickly, it's uncomfortable to hold it in." Zhou Kai was unhappy.
"Huh? Fat brother, are you feeling uncomfortable too? Then let's take one for each person." Xie Tianyun took out a handful of pills.
After everyone ate it, they slowly felt that their breathing became easier and they were no longer as suffocated as before.
"Brother Yun, if you have any good stuff, bring it out as soon as possible!" Zhou Kai chuckled.
"No problem, I have cheated my brothers before, hehe." Xie Tianyun said with a smile.
"And me and Xiaofeng!" Ying Kongxiu added.
"Yes!" Xie Tianyun nodded.
Sun Renyi and Ye Gufeng looked up at each other, then looked at the others, blinked and hesitated to speak.
Zhang Xiaosheng saw this and asked, "Lao Sun, Lao Ye, what's going on?"
"Uh...this...cough." Sun Renyi hesitated.
"What on earth do you mean! Is it calculated or not, please tell me something!" Zhou Kai said depressedly.
"I'm not 100% sure. These runes are sealing spells. It has taken three hundred years to seal something underneath." Sun Renyi said.
