Especially Cui Hao hated the skinned monk just now.
Cui Hao snatched the hidden weapon from my hand.
"Lend it to me."
Before I even reacted, Cui Hao had already arrived in front of the skin-picking monk with a hidden weapon.
The monk kept retreating.
But soon he retreated to the edge of the high platform.
Cui Hao was frightened by this thing just now, so it's not surprising that he wants revenge now.
I didn't interfere, I just walked around the high platform out of curiosity.
Only then did I realize that there were ten stone tablets placed near the high platform, and ten stone boxes were placed under the stone tablets.
Out of curiosity, I walked over to one of the stone boxes and used a dagger to pry open the box along the gap.
Suddenly a handful of white sandy powder appeared in front of me.
I picked up some and smelled it.
"Ashes?"
I quickly put the box back.
I was observing the ten stone tablets, and immediately they corresponded to the ten monks on the high platform.
"No wonder they can't walk off the stone monument. Someone has set up a soul-fixing monument here. It seems that they are all confined here and cannot get out."
The soul-fixing tablet will hold the soul, and use the ashes as a suppressing object to forcibly suppress the physical body.
To be precise.
The monks in front of us seem to be standing in front of us, but in fact their bones have been pulled out.
This method is also a method used by ancient warlocks to calm the soul.
They will use special wood to make bone marrow, shave the bones of living people, grind them into powder, and make soul stele.
For those with high skills, the bones made from wood carvings can look like real dead bones of a living person and can fully support the movement of the body.
Cui Hao had already forced the monk to the edge of the high platform.
The peeling monk stared at the hidden weapon in his hand with fear, not daring to act rashly.
Cui Hao was so proud that he suddenly stabbed the skin-removing monk's chest with a hidden weapon.
In an instant, the venom in the hidden weapon spread all over the skin-peeling monk's entire body.
The skin-peeling monk's body softened and he collapsed directly to the ground.
A dozen flesh-colored threads suddenly emerged from his body.
It's just that the ends of these threads have all turned black, as if they were soaked in corpse poison.
As these flesh-colored silk threads crawled out, the corpse skin originally wrapped around his body softened.
The corpse skin was like an ownerless pet, crawling on the ground until it became completely stiff and stiff, and finally stopped moving.
The corpse insects that originally crawled out of his body also turned black, as if they had been burnt and turned into corpses.
The original peeling monk lay on the ground, with a bit of gratitude in his eyes.
The peeling monk reluctantly clasped his hands together and nodded slightly at us.
It seemed like he was grateful for our help.
The next second, the body of the skinned monk quickly turned into a puddle of meat and disappeared completely.
And the soul that was originally imprisoned in his body floated out in an instant and disappeared into the darkness.
All that was left was the carved wooden bones made by skilled craftsmen. Other than that, everything was empty.
Cui Hao was also stunned by the scene in front of him.
He stared at the hidden weapon in his hand in disbelief.
"Master Xiaoman, your stuff is really good. Is it so powerful?"
I reached out and took the hidden weapon back and stuffed it back into my arms.
"Don't touch it, you can't stand the corpse poison on it. It's not that I'm a powerful hidden weapon, it's because these corpse bugs are afraid of corpse poison, and you just gave them a fatal blow."
I looked up at the other monks again.
The other nine monks looked frightened and kept retreating when facing us, as if they were afraid of the two of us approaching.
I dragged Cui Hao deeper into the tomb.
"Stop playing around. Let's retrieve the corpse skins as soon as possible. These corpse skins are useless, so don't waste time here."
Moreover, after these corpse skins are peeled off, they cannot survive unless they cling to the surface of a living person's body.
Just like the layer of corpse skin that was just peeled off the skin of the monk, without the corpse worms, there would be no nutrition and support, and it would instantly turn into dry skin.
So unless we kidnap a monk and take the body skin out, it's useless.
Cui Hao also stopped playing around and silently followed me towards the depths.
The passage in front of us was extremely dark, so I took out my hand sword and pointed it forward.
There is a tunnel ahead, about two meters high and one meter wide. It is only enough for us to walk through, and it seems crowded for two people side by side.
I started, and Cui Hao came in behind.
The passage was about ten meters long, and it didn't take us long to cross into another space.
The space here is extremely vast.
When I shine my flashlight forward, I can't even reach the bottom.
As soon as we stepped into it, I could feel a wave of evil coming towards me.
Even Cui Hao seemed to sense something was wrong. He shivered and came closer to me.
"Master Xiaoman, why do I have a bad premonition?"
I didn't answer and continued walking inside.
I carried the hidden weapon dagger and tried my best to guard every corner around me.
"Don't talk, listen to the voice."
It was very quiet underground, with no other sounds at all except the sound of our footsteps.
But the space here is shocking to me.
I kept shining my flashlight in front of me until I vaguely saw a few dark shadows about ten meters away from me.
"There's something there, walk slowly."
I pressed Cui Hao and asked him to follow me.
The two of us stepped cautiously and slowly approached the black shadows.
With the rays of my flashlight, I found more and more black shadows in front of me.
It wasn't until I was still a few meters away from the black shadow that I suddenly discovered that the black shadow was actually a hanging coffin.
I raised my flashlight and pointed it in another direction.
also the same.
These groups of black shadows are all coffins hung up by ropes.
I looked up along the iron lock.
There are even more hanging in the air.
The densely packed rectangular coffins were hung all over the ceiling, about ten meters above our heads.
I walked forward a few meters.
There are countless coffins.
"Thousands of coffins hang from the ceiling, but what is said in the ancient book is actually true!"
Cui Hao opened his mouth half-open and stared at the top of his head without moving.
I tugged Cui Hao's arm.
"Fat man, what do you know? Can you tell me in detail?"
Cui Hao didn't look back. Still in shock, he pointed his flashlight at the coffins above his head and kept moving back to observe.
"Thousands of coffins hang from the ceiling, suppressing the dark wood. Tens of thousands of soldiers guard the cave, and the majesty of the ages will last."
Cui Hao turned around, extremely serious.
"I have only seen these ten thousand coffins hanging from the ceiling once in an ancient book, and the record was only 16 words long. But it left a deep impression on me at the time, because there was an illustration on the right side of the book, and it was like this A scene.”
I took a breath of confusion.
"So is there any record in the book, and where will this scene appear?"
Cui Hao shook his head helplessly.
"No, if there is a record, I will tell you. But I later asked my grandfather about the information, and he told me some details, but it was all hearsay."
Cui Hao stared directly at several of the coffins.
"It is said that the Ten Thousand Coffins Xuanding is enough to hold ten thousand coffins. It must be filled with ten thousand corpses. It is said to be a defensive place in the emperor's tomb. At the beginning, all the coffins were dropped to the ground. The scene of thousands of coffins is extremely spectacular.”
He lowered his voice a bit, and his tone became a bit gloomy.
"These 10,000 coffins did not contain corpses at the beginning. Skilled craftsmen set up a mechanism on the top of the coffin. Once weight is added to the coffin, the coffin will rise upwards."
Cui Hao stared at the coffin hanging in mid-air above with a gloomy expression.
"Master Xiaoman, think about it, how many corpses and coffins are hanging there?"
I felt a chill in my heart and couldn't help but take a step back.
"Fat man, this place is weird. Let's go there as soon as possible."
After saying that, I immediately grabbed his arm and continued to move forward.
But when we reached the end, we found that it was a stone wall with no way out.
I don't believe in groping carefully above the stone wall, trying to find a way down.
I just searched for a long time, but found nothing.
While the two of us were seriously searching for a way out, I suddenly heard a faint clicking sound coming from behind us and above our heads.
"Did you hear the sound?"
I turned around and asked Cui Hao.
He nodded and stared at the coffins behind us warily.
"Is it a coffin?"
We looked at each other, walked cautiously to the front of the coffin, and looked at the coffin carefully with a flashlight.
The lid of the coffin was tightly closed and there was no sign of it being opened.
"Did we hear wrongly?"
But the creaking sound is still heard.
Cui Hao suddenly raised his head and pointed upward with his flashlight.
"It should be from above, I..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped.
Cui Hao's hand seemed to be frightened by something, and his voice was stuck in his throat for a long time and he couldn't spit it out.
"What’s wrong with you?"
I raised my head and pointed my flashlight upward, then looked at the tomb coffin above.
Suddenly, I also gasped.
The lid of the coffin was suddenly opened.
There were actually corpses inside the coffin. They stared at us with cold eyes, their faces full of greed.
"I forgot that my grandfather once told me that these coffins have tombkeepers. Once the tombkeepers fall, thousands of coffins will open and the world will be in chaos."
Cui Hao turned around and stared at me.
"Master Xiaoman, do you think the skin-peeling monk we just killed was one of the so-called tombkeepers?"
How can I care about these details.
The corpses in these coffins were slowly and stiffly sitting upright, holding on to the edges of the coffins and preparing to jump off.
So many corpses were pouring down from the sky, they must have caught us two, tore out our flesh and blood, and sucked the blood dry.
I grabbed Cui Hao tightly and quickly ran towards the way I came.
"Why are you still stunned? Fatty, run away!"
