Um?
I was slightly stunned after hearing this.
When I went to the company to chat with my colleagues before, I remember saying that Chen Jun was a member of the "Luban Shu" lineage. Could it be possible that he still has the miscellaneous skills of robbing tombs and opening coffins?
Perhaps seeing my doubts, Huang Hao patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Brother Wu, since ancient times, people in the Luban lineage have had many tricks, and they have made many friends. Corpse hunters, tomb robbers, and corpse exorcists... all once sought help from Luban magicians. In turn, Luban magicians also have some knowledge of these. A little research.”
I see!
Listening to Huang Hao's explanation, I remembered many years ago... When Wang Fei drowned and became a water demon, my master drove a boat down the river with me to send him to the Hundred Bones Tower.
After landing at the river beach near Lianghe Town, they took out two "wooden oxen and flowing horses" left by Lu Ban craftsmen from the cabin of an abandoned wooden ship said to be the "Red Boat Beard" - let these things carry the king The flying coffin walked across the river beach and went up to the Hundred Bones Tower.
There are very few Lu Ban craftsmen nowadays. Since Chen Jun is a Lu Ban craftsman, he must have some extraordinary means!
I saw him taking out four fist-sized wooden balls from his pocket.
Then throw it into the air.
Click click click, beep click click...
A series of wooden machine-like sounds sounded, as if something was constantly changing shape, colliding and rubbing.
I saw these four wooden balls suddenly extending their wings, claws, and heads from the surface... and turned into four wooden birds as big as a palm!
Madoka was shocked when she saw this.
"Oh no! He turned into a bird...that's my bird master's little brother. Apparently, this should be Lu Ban's victory-weary wooden bird. This little Chen Zi has got the essence of Lu Ban's art, and he has something. ah."
I have to say that Madoka, this damn fat bird, does have quite a lot of experience!
There seems to be a lot to know.
This also makes me more and more curious about its origin - but as good brothers who have passed away together, everyone has their own secrets.
I asked Madoka several times, but she didn't tell me, so I stopped asking.
When Madoka is willing to tell me that day, I should know its past...
Back to business.
However, Chen Jun's four wooden balls turned into four wintry wooden birds, which made a slight chirping sound, flapped their wooden wings and flew towards the huge stone coffin in the deep pit below.
Then he used his sharp beak to draw along the gap between the coffin lid and the coffin body, immediately destroying the seal.
Then he thrust his sharp claws along the gap.
Chen Jun made a magic spell with both hands and gave a soft drink.
"Tired of defeating wooden birds, Lu Ban borrows his strength. Get up!"
So, under our gaze, these four little wooden birds flapped their wings and forcibly lifted up the huge stone coffin lid...
Seeing this scene, I was slightly shocked.
You know, James's burial was carried out with "princely etiquette", so naturally the coffin where the body was stored was also!
The stone coffin lid weighed several thousand kilograms at first glance, and it was lifted using four palm-sized wooden birds.
I don’t know if it’s the wonder of Lu Ban’s technique or the profoundness of Chen Jun’s cultivation!
Of course, it should be both...
Buzz, buzz buzz!
The victory-weary wooden bird flapped its wings and slowly ascended while carrying the huge stone coffin lid.
But we were staring at the inside of the coffin intently!
Finally, the heavy stone coffin lid was completely lifted up by the Shengyu Wooden Bird, and we could see clearly what was going on inside the coffin...
My pupils shrank suddenly.
"How is that possible? It's gone!"
That's right!
Inside the coffin, it was empty.
James' body and soul are all gone!
Only some funerary objects and clothes that may have been put there were left scattered in the huge coffin.
Not only me, but Yu Jing, Chen Jun and others next to me also frowned, as if they didn't understand what they were seeing.
Yu Jing, who has always had a cheerful "big sister" personality, also calmed down, held her smooth pointed chin, and murmured to herself thoughtfully.
"It shouldn't be... I just saw that there are indeed no traces of human movement around the mausoleum, and the traces of elegance everywhere are indeed nearly a hundred years old. In other words, the original body of this evil ghost James should still be in the coffin. That’s right.”
That's right!
Chen Jun next to him also nodded, his tone solemn.
"In my lineage, because my ancestors had a good relationship with a certain tomb robber giant, they have also passed down some skills in judging tombs. I also saw it just now. This tomb should have not been disturbed by external forces since it was built and sealed. Pass."
"Furthermore, I used a wooden bird to open the coffin just now, and I can smell the stale coffin smell coming from it. This is indeed the first time I have opened a coffin! There is no way the corpse inside has disappeared."
The strangest thing is...
Not only has his body disappeared, but James, who is now a "fierce ghost", has also disappeared!
Madoka also started to scream.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible. There is no way I can make mistakes with my demon entanglement technique. That gringo ghost must have gone back to his tomb to heal his wounds. When I found this place just now, the induction of the demon entanglement was also gone. It’s never stopped.”
Everyone was shocked, but I had calmed down a bit.
said in a deep voice.
"If everything is okay...then there is only one possibility! That is the time period when James disappeared, which was when I started to set up the formation. Before the coffin was opened just now, this short period of time in."
But how did he do it?
It was the "eldest sister" Yu Jing who clapped her hands for the last time.
"Let's not stand up there and think on our own. Let's just go down to the grave and take a closer look to see if we can find any useful clues."
But before that, Chen Jun still planned to use the Weisheng Wooden Bird to investigate first...
Buzz buzz.
Four palm-sized birds flew down into the grave pit, opened and lifted up the burial objects and clothes in the coffin, revealing the bottom of the coffin - there was no secret passage or cave.
I bumped and scratched the grave outside the coffin, and found that it was made of solid cement with no gaps.
After doing all this, we are ready to go down.
"Sister Yu, Chen Jun, let's go down together. The others will stay on top of the grave pit so that they can keep a clear eye on the situation below to prevent accidents. How about that?"
I suggested.
Yu Jing smiled.
"Okay, brother Xiao Wu! This is the task you took on. We are all here to help. Sister, I will listen to your command."
As he said that, he winked at me with his beautiful eyes.
I dare not look directly.
"This kind of big sister is really a bit overwhelming..."
I stretched out my hand and threw out three levitation charms, and stuck them on me, Yu Jing, and Chen Jun.
Then he jumped lightly and landed slowly towards the bottom of the tomb, which was about five or six meters deep.
