snake coffin

Chapter 11 The Coffin of the Rising Dragon
The call was very ethereal, faint yet very clear.

The road from the village to the mountain is very stable. Although my hands were tied and my walking was a little unsteady, I still walked forward slowly.

But before I had gone far, the source of the sound became oblique, and I stepped into a bush.

Something pierced my pants, and I gasped in pain, but my feet still waded uncontrollably through the bushes toward the calling voice.

From time to time I was scratched by trees or something, and my whole body was in burning pain, but I couldn't stop.

I don't know how long I walked, but it was so long that I clearly felt that the sun was slowly becoming hot and then slowly becoming mild.

The sound seemed to be getting closer and closer, and my body was getting hotter and hotter. The feeling of just being poisoned by a snake came up again last night. This time it was even worse. It seemed that my whole body was burning and itching everywhere.

I felt like I was covered in sweat, my legs were weak, and I was bumping, but I couldn't stop.

In addition to the calling sound in my ears, it seemed that there was the hissing sound of a snake spitting out a letter again.

Vaguely, it seemed that my feet had stepped on water, and I stumbled and fell.

The blindfold he was wearing seemed to be hooked by something, and was torn off directly.

Only then did I realize that I seemed to be in an abandoned grave.

It's just that the bottom of the grave is covered with waist-deep grass, and it's obvious that it has been dug for a long time.

Countless snakes were lying on the edge of the grave pit, layer upon layer, lying on the edge of the grave pit, with their heads half raised, hissing and spitting out letters at me.

One of the snakes still had the blindfold I dropped on its tail.

I suddenly saw so many snakes that I was trembling with fear, but I didn't dare to move.

Not to mention anything else, if so many snakes jumped down directly, this grave could be filled, and I would have to be buried alive, not to mention that these snakes would bite me to death.

After breathing heavily and making sure that these snakes were just staring at me and spitting out the message, I slowly lifted up the tied bowl.

Tang Bo really only wanted to bury me in the snake coffin, so the rope tied to my wrist was not knotted, and I slowly bit the knot with my mouth.

At the same time, he slowly sat up on his knees. The graves are usually half a person deep. If you kneel, you can see the situation outside.

The snakes followed my movements and slowly raised their heads, but still did not rush in directly.

After keeping an eye on the situation outside and determining the escape route, I also bit the rope away.

And very slowly, I took out the glass bottle from the pocket of my jeans. When the snakes saw the glass bottle, they immediately hissed at me, baring their fangs.

I quickly opened the glass jar with my hands and waved it around.

While the medicine powder in the glass bottle was spilled, I hurriedly pulled the clothes tied around my neck to wrap my hands, and leaned towards the edge of the grave, with each clothes separated from the snake, turned over and jumped out.

In the glass bottle is the snake repellent powder I got from home. My dad buys snake wine, and he also asks others for snake repellent powder, and usually sells this.

I had to pay attention to the encounter with snakes all day yesterday. I carried a few bottles in my backpack, and I was worried, so I deliberately carried a bottle in the side of my jeans pocket.

My dad also said that if you are really scared when you encounter a snake, take off your clothes and throw it at the snake. The snake's teeth are curved and cannot penetrate clothes. As long as you are not injected with venom, your life will not be in danger.

I didn’t know if it was true anymore, but I put my hands on the clothes, turned over and ran outside quickly.

At this time, I suddenly felt grateful for the physical fitness test before the college entrance examination.

Using all my potential, I ran with my legs. I didn't care about the bushes and thorns. No matter what they were, I just rushed over.

But I didn't run very far when I felt my legs were caught by something, and I fell heavily to the ground. My face was scratched by thorns, and there was burning pain, and something warm flowed down.

Standing up with my hands up, I saw a big snake coiled around me that at least I couldn't wrap my hands around.

The snake was so big and long that it almost completely surrounded me.

At this moment, snakes slowly hung up from the surrounding trees, and snakes also rushed out of the bushes, hissing at me.

The big snake slowly swam towards me, spitting out snake messages and hissing.

"Long Ling..., Long Ling..." The calling voice in the grave started again.

I turned my head to look at the grave, looked around, reached out to touch the snake repellent powder in another pocket, and slowly retreated to the grave.

From where I was standing to the side of the grave snake, countless snakes coiled on both sides, like "welcoming along the road".

"Long Ling." Following the call from the grave, I walked over there involuntarily with my feet.

Standing on the edge of the grave again, my feet seemed to be going in by themselves, and the snakes kept roaring at my feet, forcing me to jump into the grave.

My legs were so weak that I tried to calm down and turned my head to look in the other direction of escape.

Seeing the big snake that couldn't be pinched with both hands screaming, the snake's tail swung towards me, I sideways avoided, took out the only bottle of snake repellent powder left, sprinkled it on the snake, and then turned around Just run up the mountain over there.

My dad didn't teach me whether snakes run faster uphill or downhill.

Just now I instinctively ran downhill, but was stopped, now I can only run uphill.

But not long after I ran out of the grave, I heard a "boom".

The air is filled with the strong smell of saltpeter after the firecrackers are over.

The sudden sound made me tremble all over, and then I saw two family members holding sticks appearing in the direction of going uphill.

I know these two people, and I went to my grandma's house yesterday to help lift a dead pig, so it was obvious that they were here to stop me.

I didn't expect that I ran out of the snake's mouth with the help of snake repellent powder, but was stopped again.

Behind him are the roaring and swimming sounds of snakes.

I looked back and saw that my uncle and several members of his family were carrying a big bag in each hand, and they were taking out the big and loud firecrackers from inside.

One is as big as one pinched between two fingers. During the Chinese New Year, they are sold at the canteen in the village. Older children often buy them and throw them into the fish pond. Sometimes the fish will be blown up and float away.

The cousin and the four family members ordered together and kept throwing towards the edge of the grave.

In addition to those individual big firecrackers, my uncle and the others also prepared a lot of firecrackers, hanging them all and throwing them here.

The booming sound of firecrackers, with a strong smell of saltpeter, drove all the snakes away in a short while.

Tang Bo stood by the grave and waved to me: "Long Ling, come here and show you what a snake coffin is."

"Don't go there." Mo Xiu's voice suddenly came to his ears.

But his voice was still weak, maybe he was awakened by those firecrackers, and he still whispered to me: "Run quickly."

But my parents still didn’t know where my cousin was, so I had to look at my cousin and said, “Now that we have found the snake coffin, you can dig it out and do whatever you want. Let my parents go and we can go far away.” ."

Tang Bo laughed, waved his hands at the two family members, looked at me and said, "Long Ling, I didn't expect the snake coffin to still be here, this is where the grave was excavated back then."

I just said that the grave has obviously been abandoned for a long time, and it was originally 18 years ago.

The two fellows with sticks walked up to me, took out their mobile phones and handed them to me.

This time, it's not my parents' video, but Zhang Hanzhu.

"Did you think that Taoist Zhang would come to save you?" The uncle stood beside the grave.

Sneered at me: "You are indeed very smart. You may not believe these things if you tell others. Even if you believe them, there may not be a way to save you. You also know to go to Taoist Zhang."

In the video, Zhang Hanzhu was locked in a cage, and there were several cages next to it, all of which were poisonous snakes.

I know that after this video appears, Taoist Zhang will not come again.

Stretching out my hand to caress the black snake jade bracelet on my wrist, I walked over slowly, and said coldly, "What do you want me to do?"

Tang Bo looked at the grave and said with a sneer, "Lie down in it."

I looked at him in surprise: "Then you let my parents and Zhang Hanzhu go first."

"Long Ling, I told you that the snake coffin is neither a coffin nor a snake." Tang Bo took out his cigarette case and lit a cigarette.

But this time, as soon as it was lit, the smoke went out.

I instantly felt at ease and looked at the grave pit: "Why here?"

The uncle seemed to be sure that I couldn't run away. He looked at the extinguished cigarette strangely and lit it again: "The fact that you were attracted here proves that the snake coffin is still here. You were not buried in it when the tomb was moved, so there is no success."

"Haven't you been poisoned by the snake's venom? As long as you lie down in it, the corpse snake will come to you, and the snake coffin will appear." Tang Bo's face showed frenzy.

Seeing that the cigarette had not been lit, he didn't care. He looked at me and said, "That snake coffin can make a corpse snake so powerful. What do you think would happen if a person lay down in it? That was originally prepared by the ancestors of the Long family." Why should a snake enjoy the Dragon Coffin?"
