Holy Bone

Chapter 215 The Tomb Beast of Renying Town, an Unknown Strange Thing
The old Taoist priest was surprisingly courageous.

After an initial shock.

At this time he held the torch in his hand.

Facing the gloomy tomb-slayer with blue-faced fangs hanging above its head.

Let's start to criticize.

"But this tomb-suppressing beast is really evil."

"This is the first time for the old Taoist to see the tomb-slayer beast carved above his head."

Jin'an stuck a penny into the gap in the cave wall, and the raft was still in the deep, ink-free river water. The three people on the raft were all curiously looking at the tomb-guarding beast above their heads.

This tomb-suppressing beast is facing downwards, with a strange human face.

In the dark and quiet cave, with a human face hanging upside down, the atmosphere immediately became weird and depressing.

This tomb-suppressing beast hangs upside down above its head with its human face down.

It seems that the craftsmen who built the tomb at the beginning knew that someone would come in through the thousand caves, so they specially carved the tomb-suppressing beast face down on the top of the head, intending to scare off the tomb robbers.

"Little brother, when you were in Changxian County for the female murderer in the white coffin, when you cut off the old body in the coffin temple for her, you also met a tomb-suppressing beast, old man, I remember you mentioned it, The tomb-slayer beast you met that time was a wǎng elephant tomb-slayer..."

Holding the torch in his hand, the old Taoist looked at the blue-faced fang-tomb-slayer beast hanging above his head, and said with his tongue, "Last time, my little brother met an elf-like tomb-slayer beast. This time, my little brother met a human-faced tomb-slayer beast." Tomb-Slayer Beast...Little brother, old man, why do I think that if you run around the country with you, you will always encounter all kinds of strange things that others may not encounter in a lifetime."

"It's like talking about the tomb-suppressing beast. Ordinary mausoleums may not be used by anyone. Because this thing is too dark and evil, it specializes in eating people, and the living and the dead are all welcome. , not as gentle as the Elephant Tomb-Suppressing Beast. The Human Tomb-Suppressing Beast eats people and tends to turn back on the owner of the tomb."

There is a good difference between the elephant tomb-slayer and the human tomb-slayer.

The former are usually animal faces, which are also the most common in tombs. They can ward off evil spirits, deter strangeness, and prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants from invading the tomb.

The latter is an absurd and treacherous human face, which is specially used to prevent tomb thieves from destroying ancient tombs, and it is delicious.

It eats both the dead and the living.

So the evil is greater.

Although the Elephant Tomb Slayer is also used to guard against tomb thieves and can kill people, it will not be cruel enough to eat people.

The old Taoist continued to ponder and said: "Old Taoist, I have also met a few experts who play antiques before. Because they took away the grave goods of the tomb robbers, strange things happened to them, and then I found the old Taoist to help exorcise the evil spirits. The tomb-slayer beast also understands something."

"Those experts in antiques said that if the tombs used human beasts, they are usually big tombs, not ordinary tombs, but the kind of big tombs comparable to emperor's tombs. The people buried in it are either generals or One of the princes, or members of the royal family, or the lord of a small country, because only this kind of person's fate is strong enough to suppress such evil things as human beings and tomb-suppressing beasts."

The old Taoist held a torch in his hand and looked at the tomb-suppressing beast above his head, and continued to say: "Old Taoist, I also heard that as long as the tomb of the human tomb-suppressing beast is used, in addition to worrying that the tomb-suppressing beast will attack the owner of the tomb, There will also be a series of ominous and strange things happening in the tomb."

"As for the unknown and strange thing, those antique experts are just ordinary people who play with antiques, and they don't know the specific details. It is estimated that only those tomb robbers who have been digging corpses in the tomb all year round can know the reason."

"It is also because of these reasons that there are not many ancient tombs and large tombs that can use the human tomb-slayer beast, and the human-tomb-slayer beast has always been rare."

Jin An saw that the old Taoist priest was still moving his head forward, and he kept looking carefully at the beast of the tomb town, and was speechless for a while.

Old man, you are not afraid that this tomb-slayer beast is alive.

You get so close.

Doesn't it mean giving away the head!
It's like yelling at the tomb-slayer beast hanging above its head: Come and bite me, come and bite me...

As a result, Jianjian was more courageous and went directly to touch the tomb-slayer beast on top of his head.

Jin An: "..."

It's really a bigger nerve than a nerve.

None of these two people in the Five Viscera Taoist Temple made him feel at ease.

"Master, this tomb-suppressing beast is carved out of the mountain rock, and it is a dead thing of stone." Cutting Sword said.

Jin An glanced at Master Pirate in surprise.

I don't know if it was because the environment of the ancient tomb stimulated the sword master, who made him find the familiarity after going to the tomb, so he talked more obviously.

This was the first time that Chi Jian took the initiative to speak.

But this is a good thing, maybe the more cemetery scenes he sees, the more the sword's cerebral cortex will be stimulated, and maybe he will regain his memory.

The three continued to look at the tomb-suppressing beast above their heads for a while, and even Jin An took the initiative to reach out to touch it.

This thing is indeed a dead thing.

Just a hard rock.

Because it has been soaked underwater for many years, the surface is covered with moss, which feels wet and slippery to the touch. The originally smooth surface of the stone carving has been soaked by the river water for many years, and the surface is full of potholes, old and deep in color.

Seeing that there was no other abnormality found in this human tomb town beast except for its blue-faced fangs and creepy and scary face, the three of them continued to move forward on the raft.

"Unfortunately, Guard Li didn't come with us this time."

In the dark, quiet, empty cave waterway where there were only three people on the raft, the old Taoist suddenly smashed his mouth and said with emotion.

Jin'an was happy when he heard the words.

"Old Taoist, are you okay, why did you suddenly mention Guard Li?"

The Thousand Corpse Cave is too big, and the old Taoist was too bored to go, so he began to beam with joy and said, "Little brother, you forgot, Guard Li is only thinking about bumping into evil spirits, the more evil things are, the more Guard Li will come!" Energetic. We have even come across such a rare thing as the human beast, and if Li Huwei is here, I have a hunch, the old man, Li Huwei will definitely use a knife to dig out a leftover stone and take it with him like a treasure."

"Among us, Li Huwei is the most interested in these nonsense things. The more evil they are, the more interested he is."

As the old Taoist talked, even he couldn't help laughing out loud. When he thought that Li Huwei was only thinking of hitting the evil spirits in the past, and begging to go to the headless village to be his headless corpse king, the old Taoist was very happy. want to laugh.

"Li Huwei came to look for us several times, but he just missed us. This time, Li Huwei failed to follow us to the Yinyijiang Thousand Corpse Cave. He didn't see so many strange things along the way. Old Daoist I actually started to feel a little sorry for Guard Li..."

Uh.

After hearing what the old Taoist said, Jin An began to subconsciously imagine the scene where Guard Li was also here.

Really don't say it.

Sure enough, there is a sense of the picture.

Li Huwei, who has more nerves than the old Taoist and the sharp sword, really wants to go down the Thousand Corpse Cave with them. When he met the Renyi Town Tomb Beast just now, Li Huwei would really use a knife to dig out the teeth of the Renyi Town Tomb Beast Or eyeballs or something, take them out as souvenirs.

Hold it even to sleep.

Begging Renyi tomb town beast to take the initiative to find him.

Jin An couldn't help laughing out loud.

……

Along the way, Master Pirate continued to use his special skills to cut the sword.

Drink river water at every fork in the road.

"Qi Jian, if you are full from drinking water, just say so, we can stop and rest for a while." Jin An was really worried that if he didn't take the initiative to tell Qian Jian, this honest and dull thief would keep drinking water.

Along the way, even the old Taoist priests were full of praise for Cutting Sword.

Such a great drink along the way.

Awesome.

Even Mrs. Niu has to back away when she sees the sword cut.

In the deep, dark cave, apart from the sound of the river flowing, there are only the slow progress of the raft and the whispers of the three people, and the torches on the raft have limited lighting.

It seems that this pitch-black cave really has no end.

suddenly.

Pfft!
In the quiet darkness, the sound of falling water was heard again, this time from the front.

"It seems to be coming from the top of my head this time!"

On the raft, the old Taoist hurriedly held up the torch to shine above his head.

Both Jin An and Qi Jian also looked up at the top of their heads, their body muscles tensed.

Sure enough, after the raft floated about ten feet away, a strange man with blue face and long fangs hung on the top of the cave, absurd and eerie, this time it was still a tomb-suppressing beast.

"It's strange, how many tomb-suppressing beasts are there in this waterway?"

The old Taoist planned to reach out to touch the tomb town beast on top of his head this time, but was stopped in time by Jin An.

"Old man, don't move yet, there are so many people and tomb-slayer beasts in this cave of thousands of corpses, it's better to be careful."

Jin'an stuck the penny in the gap of the cave wall, and after stopping the raft, he personally walked under the human tomb-suppressing beast above his head, and looked at the tomb-suppressing beast on the top of his head.

"Little brother, old man, I have checked it. The moss on the surface of the tomb-slayer beast is still intact, and there are no signs of damage. It is not the same tomb-slayer beast we have encountered before."

The old Taoist held up a torch and said.

Next, Jin An continued to pole, and the raft moved forward again in the dark cave.

result.

Pfft!
There was the sound of something falling into the water again, again from the roof of the cave above the heads of the three of them.

This time, after the raft floated a few feet away, I saw the familiar statue of the human tomb-guarding beast above my head again, still facing down with its blue face and fangs, creepy and gloomy, like a demon hanging upside down in the dark place above its head, scrutinizing it gloomyly For all the living people who tried to enter the tomb.

As the saying goes, there are no more than three things.

This time there was no need to talk to each other, the three of them noticed that there was something wrong with the human tomb-slayer beasts carved on the top of the cave above their heads.

"Is it a ghost hitting the wall?"

"Have we been spinning around in circles?"

But the old Taoist's guess is not tenable.

Because Jin An held the torch in his hand, this time he carefully looked at every detail of the beast on the top of his head with the face facing down, with a solemn expression. It was found on the human tomb town beast in front of me.

Jin'an pondered for a moment, Hu!
He drew his knife out of its sheath, and with a flash of light, it slashed directly into the head of the tomb-suppressing beast.

The sharp-edged Tiger Saber easily sank into the head of the statue. This tomb-slayer beast is indeed a stone statue.

No exception.

Jin An slashed at the rest of the Tomb-Suppressing Beast's head several times, but found nothing abnormal.

However, although Jin'an hacked, he did not violently destroy the human tomb town beast above his head.

Because the raft is still under the tomb beast.

Jin An was worried that if he moved too much, if a large number of rocks fell and smashed through or overturned the raft, they would have to swim all the way in the water.

And fighting underwater is precisely the weakness of human beings.

If something happened under the water, they could easily fall into passive danger.

"Old Taoist priest, Jianjian, do you see anything wrong?"

Jin An asked the two of them, but of course there was no result.

Next, after Jin An pondered for a moment, the three of them planned to continue on the road first. He still didn't believe that soldiers came to cover them up with water and soil. If there were really some unclean things staring at them, the three of them would not be able to deal with them.

Moreover, he also has the Five Lightning Slashing Evil Talisman and the Six Ding Liujia Talisman.

Don't be afraid of these evil spirits.

……

Pfft!
In the empty and dark place, the sound of falling water was heard again.

"Little brother, this time it's not the sound of falling into the water coming from the front, this time it's the fucking sound coming from behind us!"

"Something is coming!"

The old Taoist slapped his body and turned around suddenly, looking behind him, and said anxiously.

But the cave was too dark, and the limited torch in his hand couldn't illuminate very far.

It didn't take the old Taoist to remind him, Jin'an had already noticed that something was wrong with the sound of falling into the water.

He stopped the raft and looked behind him with the torch in his hand, but he didn't find anything either. The torch couldn't even shine a foot away, and was swallowed by the endless darkness.

The three of them held their breath and listened quietly to the movement in the dark behind them.

Dead silence.

Dead silence.

There was too much silence in the unseen darkness behind him.

The atmosphere in the cave was oppressive, and the three of them heard nothing.

Jin An took a torch to shine on the water. The river in the Cave of Thousand Corpses was so dark that he couldn't see anything.

He lay on the edge of the raft and put his face to the water to see what was under there?
But apart from the faint, distorted light of the torch reflected on the water, nothing could be seen clearly.

At this time, the cave was still terribly silent.

however.

But it was this kind of calm that made the muscles of the whole body tense.

At this moment, Jin An and the others are on the raft on the water surface, and they can't land on the ground. They can't go ashore and turn passive into active.
The situation of the three became more passive.

"We can't keep doing this, we have to go out and go ashore as soon as possible, I have a hunch, if we keep doing this, even if there is nothing to follow in the end, sooner or later we will be exhausted by paranoia, and it will be even more difficult out."

Jin An frowned, and then handed the penny in his hand to the old Taoist priest: "Old Taoist, you come to support the pole, this time I will stand in the middle to support the front and back, now we have no way out, we can only continue to move forward, the soldiers will block the water Come and cover up."

"Okay, little brother."

The old Taoist didn't say much else. After inserting the torch in his hand on the raft, he took the initiative to take charge of the pole and steer the rudder.

As the raft continued to slowly move forward in the cave, Jin An held the torch in his hand, focused his whole body, and paid attention to any faint movements around him.

This time, after the raft advanced several feet, sure enough, I saw the gloomy human-faced tomb-slayer beast again on the top of the cave above his head.

Just like the previous three times, as long as you hear the sound of something falling into the water, as long as you move forward for a long distance, you will definitely find a tomb-slayer beast on the top of the cave above your head.

When he saw the human tomb-suppressing beast, Jin An immediately raised the torch over his head to look at it. As a result, several stab wounds appeared on the gloomy human face of this tomb-suppressing beast.

This human tomb-suppressing beast is the human tomb-suppressing beast they encountered before.

"Sure enough, it's a ghost hitting the wall! The human tomb-slayer beast that I met before ran in front of us..."

But Jin'an's voice hasn't finished yet, huh!
In the cave that had been calm all this time, without any warning, the three torches went out at the same time, as if something had blown the torches out from the top of their heads, and they fell directly into the darkness that could not be seen.

boom!
The raft sank suddenly, and something in the darkness got on board!
