The thrilling scene just now, the remaining fire saved Zhang Tianshu's life, which made Zhang Tianshu look at the wise nephew of his master in a new light.
After all, in this critical moment, he can act calmly and calmly in the face of danger, especially at that critical moment, being able to hit the opponent just right and let his life hang by a thread and escape from danger in the blink of an eye. This is enough to show the courage of Yu Huo. and courage.
Zhang Tianshu was very happy to see Yu Huo's abilities for the first time. After all, the rise and fall of the Corpse Sewing line gave him hope and hope.
Realizing that there was no danger, Zhang Tianshu picked up the shotgun that had fallen on the ground, picked up a torch with his left hand, and walked straight into the darkness.
Yu Huo could only follow behind. After stepping into the stone door carved with cobras, he could clearly feel that the temperature here was higher than outside, and he could vaguely hear the sound of running water.
By the dim light of the swaying torch, Yu Huo opened his eyes and discovered that there was an underground river below, and what was flowing on the underground river was actually living water. The steaming water meandered all the way to the depths of darkness.
If the guess is correct, the flowing warm water flows to Hualongtan, which can explain why the water temperature of the reservoir is warm on one side and cold on the other.
Yu Huo thought to himself, if this place wasn't a chicken fairy or a mass grave, it might be developed and turned into a resort hot spring tourist attraction, which might be a good opportunity to make a fortune.
But Yuhuo gave up the idea after a second thought, because after the experience and danger just now, it was obvious that no tourists would come, and the investment would end in nothing.
Yu Huo knew that he was not a businessman, nor was he that piece of material, so he inherited the mantle of his ancestor honestly and continued to travel around the world to benefit life and death.
"arrive."
Zhang Tianshu suddenly stopped and used torches to light up the ever-bright lamps on the cliff one after another. At the moment when all nine ever-bright lamps were lit, the whole scene that was originally hidden in the darkness was clearly presented in front of Yu Huo.
The scene in front of him immediately stunned Yu Huo. Right in front of Yu Huo, there was a huge stone statue carved with a huge dragon, holding a huge dragon ball in its mouth, which shone like a luminous pearl.
It is surrounded by a ring, where the nine everlasting lamps are located. It is slightly smaller than the huge stone statue, but it is carved with different animals, symbolizing different meanings.
Seeing Yu Huo standing still with a stunned look on his face, Zhang Tianshu came under the long dragon, turned around, and motioned for Yu Huo to come over too.
The moment Yu Huo turned his back, all nine ever-burning lights appeared in his field of vision. The scene in front of him shocked Yu Huo again.
"Nine sons born from a dragon will not become a dragon. Each one has his own interests."
Under Zhang Tianshu's reminder, Yu Huo also realized that these ten statues were carved with the nine sons of the dragon, and the corresponding points of the Changming Lantern were that the eldest son was called Qiu Niu, the second son was called Jia Sui, and the third son was called Chaofeng. The fourth son is called Pulao, the fifth son is called Suanni, the sixth son is called Bixi or Baxia, the seventh son is called Biuan, the eighth son is called Negative Xi, and the ninth son is called Chiqi.
But Yu Huo discovered a strange thing, that is, Jiuzi did not have beads in his mouth like a long dragon, but a huge and narrow chain hung under the long tongue, extending directly from the dragon's mouth downwards. Deep in the ground.
"Uncle, what are they hanging under the chains in their mouths?"
Zhang Tianshu was very satisfied with Yu Huo's observation skills, and then he jumped on the back of the long dragon with agility and rode on the back of the long dragon with ease. He didn't look like an old man in his fifties or sixties at all.
I saw Zhang Tianshu riding on the back of the dragon and leaning down, holding the huge luminous pearl in the dragon's mouth with both hands. He used both hands to twist it counterclockwise, and saw the luminous pearl swallowed from the dragon's mouth. .
After Ye Mingzhu made no sound, the same sound came from the direction of the nine ever-brightening lamps.
Yes, this is the sound similar to the sound of a winch pulling a chain. The chain in Jiuzi's dragon's mouth is pulling something, and the pulling force and pace are consistent, which shows the ingenuity and kindness of the original designer.
During the pulling process, Yu Huo looked at his watch. The time was exactly two and a half minutes. As for why it was this time, he couldn't explain it for a while. It was just that the moment the pulling of the chain stopped, the thing being pulled was exposed. His true face in Lushan.
"Kowloon coffin?"
A huge coffin appeared in front of Yu Huo. Although he had seen many such scenes, the big red coffin in front of him still frightened Yu Huo.
As we all know, all those who died of natural causes use black coffins, but if they use red coffins, they either died unjustly or died miserably, so they are accustomed to using red and ominous things to keep their spirits up.
One thing that is certain is that the owner of the coffin must have died unnaturally. In addition, the extremely expensive method of pulling the coffin from Kowloon is used to calm the soul. It is obvious that the deceased owner was either rich or noble.
"Uncle, who is the owner of this tomb?"
Zhang Tianshu shook his head and said: "I have been investigating for many years and there is no information about the owner of the tomb. Including the coffin, except for some burial objects, there are no clues left. This is why I let you in." s reason."
"what reason?"
Yu Huo seemed to know more information about the owner of the tomb, but Zhang Tianshu deliberately kept it secret and did not answer directly. Instead, he said: "Open the coffin."
Zhang Tianshu opened the coffin, which made Yu Huo a little surprised. Could it be that Zhang Tianshu had not opened this coffin before?
So what does he mean? Or was it because he couldn't open the coffin that he asked Yu Huo to open it for him?
Too many questions made Yu Huo feel like he was being taken advantage of by this uncle, but Yu Huo did not question him on the spot, but prepared for the coffin opening ceremony.
There are a set of rules and taboos for anyone who robs a tomb and opens a coffin to obtain treasure, such as lighting a candle in the corner of the tomb and stopping immediately when encountering a cat. However, the Sewing Corpse lineage is different from this. Not to steal treasures, but to let the resentful spirits rest in peace.
Therefore, the rule of the corpse-stitching line is that before opening the coffin, you need to light a sky lantern. This lighting of the sky lantern is not an ancient torture, but requires some anthropomorphic straws, and then these anthropomorphized scarecrows are set on fire, and then these plant ashes are directly burned. The surrounding coffin of the tomb owner, especially the location of the coffin nails, requires special care.
Yu Huo threw plant ashes with his hands and shouted three silver needles in his mouth. This is an old rule for sewing corpses. The reason why he had to hold the silver needles in his mouth was simply for his own safety when opening the coffin, and for insurance reasons. .
Because opening a coffin is an unethical thing, many tomb designers, in order to prevent people from robbing the tomb, not only set up numerous mechanisms in the tomb, but also set up hidden weapons in the coffin.
Therefore, at the moment of opening the coffin, if one is not careful, it is very likely that one will die.
The silver needle in the mouth is naturally convenient for spitting out the silver needle when the hands are too late to fight back, thereby adding a bumper for escape, that's all.
Seeing Yu Huo's proficiency in business, Zhang Tianshu said nothing. He only saw him pick up his shotgun and put on the bayonet. Unexpectedly, his gun could also be used as a tool to pry open coffin nails.
At the moment when the seven coffin nails were pried open, the coffin cover suddenly became loose, and a burst of miasma merged with the dust, making people feel suffocated and breathless. However, due to the presence of plant ash, the miasma was instantly suppressed and slid onto the The ground formed a circle of dark powder.
It is said that this miasma is extremely evil and is covered with bacteria and viruses. Once a person comes into contact with it, the skin will immediately rot. Once inhaled into the nasal cavity, it will cause respiratory tract infection and even pneumonia, so it is extremely dangerous.
But because plant ash has the effect of disinfection and sterilization, it is the opposite of this miasma, and it is also the real purpose and reason for lighting sky lanterns.
"Be careful!"
It was time for Zhang Tianshu to remind Yu Huo that all things in the corpse-stitching lineage come into contact with are taboo things among the people. Dealing with the dead for a long time is tantamount to licking blood from the edge of a knife, so you must be careful at all times to avoid accidentally hurting yourself and causing harm to others. themselves and their lives.
Yu Huo and Zhang Tianshu worked together to open the coffin. Just when the coffin lid was about to be fully opened, there was a "click" sound, as if it had hit some mechanism, and something jumped out of the coffin.
Before Yu Huo had time to see clearly, the three silver needles from Yu Huo's mouth had already shot out and collided head-on with the hidden weapon. Perhaps due to the principle of inertia, with a 'clang' sound, the hidden weapon directly deviated from the established track. Yu Huo's cheek whizzed by less than two centimeters away.
I felt a gust of cool breeze, and the hidden weapon hit a bright lamp behind Yu Huo without any bias.
It was a false alarm. Zhang Tianshu, who was watching on the side, was sweating for Yu Huo. Seeing that Yu Huo saved the day, he smiled and said, "Yes, you are quite experienced."
"This is not all taught by masters and uncles."
Yu Huo was not greedy for credit, but attributed the credit to Zhang Tianshu. This made Zhang Tianshu full of joy and pushed open the coffin cover. The inside of the coffin was filled with golden light, and the dazzling burial objects covered the corpse that had become a withered skeleton.
It is said that sewing corpses and opening coffins is not a treasure, but Yu Huo is somewhat moved. After all, these burial objects are all priceless without exception. If you take one out, you can save yourself twenty years of struggle.
However, there are rules in the corpse-stitching industry. You must not be greedy for the deceased's finances, let alone steal money. This is called Tai Sui, but it will cost you Yang and longevity.
Yu Huo was very determined and immediately gave up this evil thought.
"Uncle, can you tell me now why you didn't have a reason to open the coffin before?"
Yu Huo has always had a question in his heart, that is, Zhang Tianshu has lived here in seclusion for many years and sneaked into this underwater tomb many times, but he did not open the coffin, but waited for Yu Huo to appear before opening the coffin. What is the purpose of this? for?
Or is there any hidden secret? Or is there something special about sewing corpses?
