Xiong Ming reached out and took the knife thrown by Hua Muling, weighed it twice in his hand, grinned widely and said loudly: "It's a damn good knife!"
After Xiong Ming finished speaking, he turned around and raised the knife.
As a cold light flashed, the remaining abdomen of the giant nut was forcibly opened by Xiong Ming, with a one-meter-long hole.
After Xiong Ming made a slash, he immediately stretched out his hand to pull the opening in the belly of the nut, hoping to make the opening bigger so that he could more easily take out the iron box inside the nut's belly.
But what none of us expected was that at this moment, the nut that was already dead suddenly moved.
This strange behavior really startled the three of us. Hua Muling and I both raised the things in our hands alertly.
Xiong Mingze even yelled "FU*K", then swung the knife in his hand, aimed it at the nut's abdomen, and slashed at it, and it took him a while to give up.
Xiong Ming stood more than one meter away from the nut with a knife in his hand, gasping and cursing: "I'll let you die before you f**king scare your bear! I..."
Just before Xiong Ming finished speaking, the belly of the nut that was almost torn into pieces by Xiong Ming twitched again. In fact, it is more appropriate to say that it is squirming rather than twitching.
Seeing this weird scene in front of us, Hua Muling and I couldn't help but look at each other. Neither of us spoke, but our eyes were full of surprise, and we seemed to want to ask each other the same question, "What on earth is this?" Condition?"
Soon the questions in both of our minds were answered.
Because just a few seconds later, a black and rusty iron box fell out of the belly of the nut with a clang.
This iron box is not big, and the pure black box is covered with yellow-brown rust.
The overall length of the box is about forty centimeters, and it is a standard cube.
On the six sides of the box, except for one that can be opened, the other five sides were carved with simple paintings. However, since the light here is not very good, I only saw The box was engraved with something, but the contents could not be clearly seen.
And these are not important to me. What makes me most curious about this box is that for some reason, it is locked by a thick iron chain on the outside.
The iron chains were very strong. Even after so many years, the box was still locked tightly, as if it was afraid that someone would open it.
Xiong Ming looked at the iron box that fell on the ground, then looked at me and Hua Muling, and asked in surprise: "What is this?"
I frowned and said: "Ask me, who the hell am I asking? However, if this extra-large cockroach can swallow this thing into its stomach, it is probably a rare treasure. I can't control it now." If there are too many, take them away first and then study them."
Xiong Ming nodded and said: "Hu Tian, you are right! Even if this thing is of no use to us, looking at this simple shape, it must be hundreds of years old at least. Maybe we can buy one after we go out. Good price.”
After saying that, Xiong Ming quickly ran to the side, squatted down and took off a black military backpack from a mercenary whom he could no longer identify, and then stuffed the black iron box and Feng Luan beads into it. Got in.
And just when Xiong Minggang put his backpack on his back, there was suddenly a violent mountain collapse not far in front, and then, the solid bell sounded again in the claustrophobic space.
Hearing the strange bell, the three of us couldn't help but be startled. We hurriedly raised our heads and looked over there, only to see that the black shadow more than ten meters high had already squeezed half of its body into the small space of the altar. Inside.
This black shadow was so big that I couldn't see its appearance clearly. I could only vaguely see that this guy's hand covered with black hair was as big as an old Jiefang truck.
What's even more weird is that for some reason, this guy's body is covered with large and small bronze bells. In my opinion, each bronze bell is at least three times larger than the bronze bells in the clock tower in the imperial city. many.
Every time this guy moves, the large and small bronze bells on his body will move, making a series of frightening "bang...bang..." sounds.
I swallowed hard and tried to calm myself down.
But Xiong Ming on the side asked with his mouth wide open: "What on earth is this guy? Why is it so big? Is it something that guards here...what...right! What kind of tomb-guarding beast is it?"
"This guy is not a tomb-guarding beast!" I gritted my teeth and shook my head. I looked at the huge black shadow for a while and then said slowly: "This guy... is a coffin-stopping beast!"
"Coffin-stopping beast?" Hua Muling frowned and asked, "What is that?"
"The coffin-stopping beast is a mythical beast used to suppress evil things in coffins!" I looked at the little bit in front of me and said to our fellow guy: "According to legend, this is a witchcraft that was only popular in the Tang Dynasty, and it is also a method similar to fighting poison with poison. . It is said that the more evil deeds a person has done in life, the bigger the coffin beast will be in front of his coffin after death, in order to restrain the person in the coffin and prevent him from turning into a zombie after death and coming out to harm others. Even if occasionally someone accidentally releases the person in the coffin, even if our thieves fail to release it, the coffin-stopping beast will suppress it and eventually dissipate."
I said and took a look around, and found that since the huge coffin beast appeared, everything around me was moving backwards at the fastest speed, whether it was the tiny green snails, the giant turtle, or even It's Shura Bianhua, who was domineering over us before, but now she's pulling her back at the risk of her life.
Seeing such a situation, I frowned and said, "If I guessed correctly, the giant turtle, the green radish, and even the white-striped white dragon and that damn demon flower were probably the ones who built the tomb in the first place. Provide what this coffin-stopping beast has left behind.”
Hua Muling said suddenly, "No wonder those things became so panicked after hearing the bell. It turns out that they know that as soon as the bell rings, it means that this guy is about to start eating."
I looked at Hua Muling and added, "Besides, once I can hear the bell, it means that this guy is not far from me."
Hua Muling nodded and said, "That's right!"
When Xiong Ming heard what Hua Muling and I said, he couldn't help but spit on the ground and cursed: "Grandma, Master Xiong, I almost became the fodder! If this spreads out in the future, how can I still be in Xiabamen?" Are you dawdling? Hey, Hu Tian, what should we do now?"
I looked at Xiong Ming and smiled helplessly and said, "What should I do? What else can I do? Run!"
After saying that, I spread my legs and ran to my right, while Xiong Ming and Hua Muling followed closely behind me.
Maybe you will ask me why I don’t take so many roads and always go to the right?
This is a good question!
I walked to the right, not only because I wanted to, but also because, at that time and in such a place, there was really no fucking way to go except on the right.
The mountain was shaking constantly, as if the entire land was trembling due to the appearance of the huge coffin beast.
The densely packed green snails were scurrying around like mice in front of a cat; the giant tortoise that had dominated for a while was now stuck on the stone wall and could only howl feebly; the Shura Bianhuazao, which had almost become a spirit, It has disappeared, leaving only a few tentacles still swinging slightly on the ground.
"Boom... crash... crash..."
Countless boulders half as tall as a man rolled down the mountain walls on both sides, crashing to the ground along with the sound of bells. Waves of gray-black smoke were set off, making people choke and unable to open their eyes.
I hurriedly reached out and covered my mouth and nose to prevent inhaling too much dust and causing difficulty breathing.
The mountain shook more and more violently. I lost my balance and almost fell to the ground. And at this moment, I accidentally caught a glimpse of a huge gap opening on the side of the big black coffin. As the mountain shook, it seemed to be about to fall down.
Seeing this, I hurriedly stretched out my hand to hold on to the rock wall on the side, turned my head and shouted at Hua Muling and Xiong Ming: "Run! You go first, I'll get the Sifang Seal!"
Xiong Ming looked at me and shouted: "Hu Tian, are you sure that the four-square seal is inside that coffin?"
I shouted: "I'm not sure! But according to the mural at the entrance to the tomb, Wang Meng locked himself in this coffin! In addition, the information in the confidential document showed that the white jade square seal was stolen that year. If that person is really my grandfather, according to our old man's style of doing things, most likely he will put the four-square seal back to its original place..."
At this point, a big stone suddenly rolled down from above, and Hua Muling on the side reminded loudly: "Hu Tian, be careful above you."
I looked up and saw that the stone was coming very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already more than one meter above my head.
I was startled, and hurriedly jumped forward, and the stone hit the ground almost close to my heel. I was so frightened that I broke out in cold sweat several times, and then I barely recovered.
Upon seeing this, Xiong Ming shouted: "Hu Tian, are you okay?"
I shook my head, calmed my mind, and then continued: "I'm fine, young master! If my estimate is correct, the Sifang Seal should be in that coffin. Because this place is too dangerous, so the old man didn't I told the brothers in Yiyuanzhai what was going on here, and I just made up a lie and said there was an old Hu family house here."
Hua Muling frowned and shouted, "Is this why Mr. Xu doesn't know what's going on here?"
I nodded and shouted: "You guys retreat first! I'll come as soon as I go!"
After saying that, I turned around and ran towards the big black coffin that was already crumbling.
