The dead silence of the tomb passage was filled with the sound of our footsteps, the sound of tapping footsteps alternating, and behind us there was the buzzing sound of a large number of vibrating wings.
These corpse crickets were like tarsal maggots, following our footsteps. The distance was getting closer and closer, and they were about to catch up. I was so frightened that I quickly shouted to Huizhen,
"Undress!"
Huizhen understood the idea, took off his monk's robe and waved it vigorously above his head. The large monk's robe blocked the path of the corpses. These beasts lay directly on our coats. After a while, there was a sound of tearing cloth strips, and my coat was ripped. It is riddled with holes, like a leaky sieve.
"What should we do? These corpse crickets are supposed to guard the tombs. They won't give up until they bite us to death!"
Huizhen had never seen such a formation before, and acted even more panicked than me. I waved my shirt and backed away quickly, saying that I didn’t know what to do. By the way, fat man, use fire! These corpse crickets live under dark and damp tombs all year round, and most of them are afraid of fire.
"That's a way!"
Huizhen's eyes lit up and she quickly lit her coat with a lighter. The coat quickly burned and a large fire appeared.
Sure enough, this method was very effective. As our coats were set on fire, the corpse crickets that were madly chasing us stopped attacking. They avoided the fire and retreated outside the tomb passage.
But although they didn't dare to approach us for fear of fire, they had no intention of leaving immediately and were still flying around the tomb passage.
Seeing that my coat was about to burn up, and if I continued like this, I could only light my crotch cloth on fire, but Huizhen pointed to another stone room behind the tomb passage and shouted,
"Zhou Xuan, go over there, there is a stone room there!"
Without thinking too much, I immediately followed Huizhen's guidance and retreated, and soon got into another stone room.
After getting into the stone chamber, Huizhen immediately pushed up the heavy door of the tomb and forcibly closed the door of the stone chamber. The stone door, which weighed several hundred kilograms, slowly closed under his push. Huizhen wanted to use all his strength. Even the veins on his temples bulged, and after all his efforts, he finally closed the stone door.
Boom!
As the stone chamber closed, the corpses were finally blocked out. I leaned against the stone wall, too tired to speak, but Huizhen suddenly half-knelt on the ground, her face turned pale and started coughing.
I quickly supported him and said, "How are you, fat man?"
He shook his head and said it was okay, but the stone door was too heavy, and he had just tried his best to suck the milk, and it was a little weak.
There's nothing wrong with that. We haven't eaten for a long time. We've been running all the way for so long, and our physical strength has long been exhausted.
I took out the sweet potatoes I had dug out in the village and was about to give them to Huizhen to rest on my stomach. Huizhen didn't care about eating. She anxiously looked up at the stone room where we were, and suddenly pointed to a coffin in front of her. His face changed drastically,
"How come there is a sarcophagus here? Did we accidentally bump into the main tomb chamber?"
I was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the environment inside the stone chamber, only to realize that the space in the stone chamber where we were trapped was very large, as big as a basketball court.
In the middle of the stone chamber, there is a cyan sarcophagus, more than two meters long. The entire coffin is made of stone, which looks bulky and weird.
Apart from this sarcophagus, nothing else can be seen in the entire stone chamber. Opposite the stone chamber, there is a secret door. The secret door is open, and there is also a dark passage behind it. I don't know how it can lead to it. Where to go.
I stood up uncomfortably and said to Huizhen,
"The structure of this tomb is too strange. Maybe there is another space behind the secret door. Should we go and have a look?"
Huizhen knitted her brows into a "Chuan" shape and remained dumbfounded without saying anything. Instead, she stared straight at the blue sarcophagus, trying to get closer to the sarcophagus to take a look.
I hurriedly grabbed his arm and said, "Fat man, it's better not to touch this coffin."
Although the sarcophagus is calm on the surface, there are many dangers under Shura's tomb. The jar was broken just now, and so many corpses jumped out, which makes me still have lingering fears. Who knows what the hell is hidden in this coffin?
Huizhen gently broke away from my arm, shook her head and said, "The position of this sarcophagus is very strange, and I sensed a very familiar aura inside the sarcophagus."
Huizhen has been in the industry longer than me, and his ability to sense evil spirits is better than mine. He said he sensed a familiar aura in the sarcophagus, so he must be right.
I looked at the sarcophagus in surprise and uncertainty, still hesitating whether to go with him or not. Unexpectedly, deep in the dark and dim stone chamber, there was a strange sound of dripping water, which scared me and shuddered again. .
Where did these sounds of running water come from?
Huizhen and I were both surprised. We looked around cautiously, but after searching around, we couldn't find any water leakage. We thought we were hearing hallucinations.
Huizhen suddenly grabbed my arm, pointed towards the bottom of the sarcophagus, and exclaimed,
"I know where the sound of water is coming from. Look, the sarcophagus is dripping with blood!"
What?
My hair stood on end, and I hurriedly looked at the sarcophagus, and found that the sound of water was indeed seeping out from inside the sarcophagus. Under the lid of the sarcophagus, a large amount of dark red blood was flowing, and these blood stains flowed out along the gaps in the sarcophagus. , gathered into winding lines, almost dyeing the ground red.
"Fuck, Fatty, let's get out of here!"
At this time, I no longer cared about studying what was under the sarcophagus. Everything in front of me was so weird. My intuition told me that something terrible would definitely happen if I continued to stay here.
Huizhen refused and shook his head sadly, "Where else can we go now? There are corpses everywhere outside the stone chamber. We are stuck inside and can't get out. We can only open the stone coffin to see what's underneath."
"..."
My mouth was trembling and I no longer knew what to say. I really couldn't think of a better way, so I could only calm down and follow the spit to the other side of the sarcophagus.
Fortunately, apart from bleeding, there were no other strange signs in the sarcophagus. Huizhen and I arrived near the sarcophagus one after another. Huizhen walked towards the sarcophagus first, lowered his head and glanced under the coffin lid, gritted his teeth and said,
"Zhou Xuan, let's push open the sarcophagus and take a look. I feel like I know what's underneath."
"No, do you really want to open the coffin?"
My calves kept shaking, and I was speechless.
Huizhen is more courageous than me. There is a fierce look in her eyes. She doesn't look like a lay disciple of Buddhism at all.
"What are you afraid of? The human body is dead and the bird is facing upward. Anyway, we are already trapped in this ghost place. If you shrink your head, it will be a knife, and if you extend your head, it will be a knife. We might as well be more courageous!"
His words affected me, I nodded, gritted my teeth and said yes, I will die if I die, I’m afraid of my eggs!
After we agreed to open the coffin, Huizhen and I walked around to one end of the coffin. We put our hands on the coffin lid, counting one, two, three, and moved the coffin board with all our strength.
The coffin lid made of stone was extremely heavy. I clenched my back molars and worked hard with Huizhen. After working hard for a long time, I managed to lift the corner of the coffin. Just as I was about to look down, I saw spray spurting out of the open corner of the coffin. A black deathly energy rushed directly to my face.
