Mystery Leaks

Chapter 270 Opening the Coffin (1)

There is obviously a gap between the upper coffin lid and the outer coffin body, which seems to be a good place to start.

This is different from Zhao Tuo's coffin. Its coffin is one piece and sealed by the magic circle. If you want to open it, you must unseal the magic circle.Mrs. Jin Di was not sealed by others, so it would be easier to open the coffin. After all, she herself may also be eager to come out one day, and cannot be bound by herself.

Each of us took a crowbar and tried to pry it open, but no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't pry it.

"I'm afraid you can't use violence with this thing." Huang Mao shook his head thoughtfully.

The third uncle thought for a while, and said: "Look carefully to see if there are any words on the body of the coffin. I remember the old uncle said that the ancient Yue is a branch of witch culture. It advocates witch spells, and maybe it needs witch spells to activate."

So we searched for it, and finally found a line of something similar to words. It was crooked, it was not a word, it was better to say it was a simplified painting, and a primitive and wild atmosphere came over us, with a sense of historical precipitation.

Hu Lai took a rough look and said, "I should be able to read."

After finishing speaking, he compared the ancient font above, and began to read word by word. The syllables were particularly strange, unlike any language today, it was very jerky and awkward.There are even some syllables that don't seem to be uttered by humans at all, a little bit like Sanskrit.

There are not many words in this line, only about sixty or seventy syllables, and it will be finished in one or two minutes.

But after Hu Lai finished reading, he was sweating profusely and his face was pale.

"Come on, what's the situation?" Huang Mao asked hastily.

Hu Lai swallowed, "This is indeed a very ancient witchcraft. Although I read it, it was very incoherent. Every word was read, as if I had to use my tongue to support the weight of five or six catties. effort."

"so smart?!"

"I go!"

When Cao Nan and I heard this, we were both taken aback.

"Don't worry, try again when you're ready. Witchcraft is something that has been passed down to the age of mythology. Its history is longer than our Chinese civilization. Taoism and Buddhism are just children in front of witches." The third uncle patted Hu Lai on the shoulder.

Hu Lai nodded, wiped the sweat from his forehead, rested for a while and started the second time. This time it went much smoother, but unfortunately there was no response from the coffin.

Helpless, Hu Lai had to come for the third time.

We all muttered a little, it was already noon, and the sun was shining directly down, if there was any further delay, the coffin might not be opened until tomorrow.

To our surprise, as the last syllable of Hu Lai fell, the coffin suddenly shook slightly with a "bang", and the coffin lid floated up an inch, and wisps of Yin Qi swished from the gap between the coffin lid and the coffin body Swish out everywhere.

I took a step back instinctively. Yin Qi is different from cold wind. Cold wind means that you can keep out the cold by wearing more clothes, while Yin Qi means that no matter how much clothes you wear, it feels like you have nothing on. People are like falling into an ice cave.

But these yin qi came fiercely, and stopped quickly, and there was no movement for a long time.

At this time, the sun just reached the middle position.

The roof of the water tank had already leaked, and the sun was shining directly on the coffin, which made us relax a lot.
"In this way, Cao Nan and I will move the coffin lid, and the four of you will be on guard. Don't hesitate in any situation," said the third uncle.

We all nodded, and then Third Uncle and Cao Nan stood at the two ends of the coffin lid, the four of us divided into two sides, took out our own things and focused on our guard.

Then, Third Uncle and Cao Nan worked together to slowly remove the coffin lid.

"Acridine!"

When the first ray of sunlight shone into the coffin, suddenly a ghost-faced skeleton jumped out of the coffin, opened its bloody mouth, and bit Cao Nan violently.

"Go to hell!"

"Your uncle!"

"die!"

"..."

Although this thing is terrifying, what it is facing is two lightning-struck mahogany swords, a water and fire stick, and a mahogany knife.

The four deadly weapons submerged into the ghost-faced skeleton's body in an instant. With a flash of thunder, it wailed suddenly, and disappeared without a trace under the sunlight, turning into a wisp of green smoke.

Cao Nan was taken aback, "Damn it, what are you looking for?"

"It's an evil spirit." The third uncle said, and then explained: "The yin in the coffin is too strong, and some ominous things will be born after a long time, but they are tightly trapped, so they are relatively fierce. Under the sunlight, it ran away the moment the coffin was opened, and when we moved the coffin, it had to give it a desperate blow. However, the sunlight restrained it stubbornly, and its strength may not even reach [-] percent."

"Such a powerful restraint?"

I was taken aback, although I also understood that sunlight can restrain all ghosts and evil spirits, but this is the first time I have heard of accurate data.

"Therefore, we must open the coffin under the sun, otherwise we can only wait until tomorrow. Without the sun, the evil spirit just now can play us badly." Huang Mao said.

I deeply believe that fierce spirits are crazier, more manic, and more powerful than ghosts. Once encountered, they are often life and death. If they encounter such things at night, they will be dangerous.

Afterwards, Cao Nan and Uncle San removed the lid of the coffin, revealing the contents inside.

When we saw it, we all felt a little bit numb; there was another coffin inside, and there was a snake fetus on the second coffin.

Cao Nan and I have seen this thing before. It was in Mrs. Jindi’s snake mound. At that time, someone cut the snake’s fetus and released the coffin-headed poisonous snake inside. More than half of the crowd was killed or injured.

The venom from the head of the coffin is highly corrosive and highly toxic. As long as it is contaminated with a little bit, a living person will immediately turn into rancid pus, with no bones left, which is very terrifying.

Another one appeared here, and it was even weirder. The snake tires were covered with dark red textures, which looked creepy.This situation is a bit like a tattoo. If a person is covered with beast tattoos all over his body, he will immediately feel oppressive.

The snake fetus is relatively wide, covering almost the entire coffin surface, and some expensive gold, silver and jewelry can be seen in the interlayer. It can only be said to make a fortune, but it is of little value to us.

What we are looking for are the magic techniques and cultivation methods of the age of mythology, as well as the Biluo Bell that is suspected to be inside, and everything else is just floating clouds.

"This snake fetus is different!" Cao Nan's expression changed, and he said, "Can you be careful not to break it, and move it away?"

"It doesn't work, this kind of afterbirth is very thin, and it will break if you move it lightly." The third uncle shook his head directly, and said: "Besides, this is the most poisonous snake king in the coffin head. Its speed and toxicity are rare in the world. If it is contaminated, it will be burned into green smoke immediately, and nothing will be left behind."

"hiss……"

We gasped, our scalps tingling.

"Then what should we do?" Cao Nan looked at the sun in the sky and said anxiously.

"Don't worry, although the venom of this coffin head is powerful, the body is very fragile. We use fire." The third uncle said with a slight smile.

I nodded slowly. It is true that the head of the coffin is extremely poisonous, but the body is not invulnerable. On the contrary, it is still very fragile, and it can be beaten to death with a shoe.

"Let's use peach wood as fuel, this thing belongs to a half-yin thing!" Huang Mao also agreed with the third uncle's plan.

This is the former timber warehouse. Although some of the peach wood stored there are full of sawdust eaten by termites and are incomplete, fortunately, the amount is sufficient.We moved it immediately, piled peach wood on the side of the coffin, stacked up layer by layer, and finally submerged the coffin directly.

After that, Hu Lai sprinkled two packs of realgar powder specially used against poisonous snakes on it, and lit the fire.

The dry and porous peach wood burned very quickly, and in a short while a raging fire engulfed the coffin.

The third uncle grabbed a wooden root and slammed it into the coffin.

"Hiss..."

Immediately, there was a group of snakes neighing inside the coffin, and they raised their heads one after another, reaching a height of four or five feet, almost reaching the shoulder of the person.

The snake's head is like a coffin, and the snake's mouth is pitch black, as if it can swallow everything. Unlike ordinary coffin heads, they have a dark red crown on their heads, which makes people creepy at a glance.

But they just raised their heads and glanced at us, and immediately fell into the flames, curled up, struggled, and screamed.

Their flesh is like a pine branch, it burns quickly, and every inch is reduced to ashes.

What Uncle San said is right, these things are venomous, but their bodies are extremely fragile.

There were quite a few poisonous snakes, one of them got up and the other died. After a few minutes, there was no more snakes, and the snake fetuses were also burned to ashes under the burning fire.The coffin heads guarding the coffin in this nest had already been wiped out before they had time to show their power.

I glanced at my third uncle, and my intuition told me that the way to deal with the coffin head might have been told to him by my grandpa.

Not long after, the mahogany tree gradually became smaller and extinguished after it was fully ignited.

We cleaned it up and got what was inside the mezzanine out.Because it is a coffin within a coffin, the gap between the two coffins is not large, but although the number of gold, jade and jewelry is not large, the quality is top-notch.

We cleared out a total of [-] pieces, and each piece was priceless.

Huang Mao and Hu Lai carefully identified them, and found that they were all ordinary property, not of high value.

"It's a bribe."

The third uncle said, and said: "The other party's hidden meaning is very obvious. If we get the gold, jade and jewelry, we will accept it as soon as it is good. Then we will be rich and honored for a lifetime, but if we continue, we will never die. The previous snake fetus was just an appetizer."

We all nodded, this is the usual way of thinking of tomb robbers and opening coffins, which is not uncommon.

The owner of the coffin does not know whether his coffin will be opened one day, so he needs the last insurance, "carrot and stick".Take it when you see it, eat the carrot, continue to rob the tomb despite the warning, and eat the big stick.

"Continue, lift out the inner coffin." Third Uncle said.

We continued to grope, and found a fixed clamp in the inner coffin. After releasing it, we hung the inner coffin out.

This time, there are not only words on it, but also patterns. It looks like the moon, and it is arranged in a strange formation with the surrounding stars.

Hu Lai's face changed, and he said, "No, this coffin can only be opened at midnight in the next September."

"So treacherous!" Huang Mao blurted out a curse.

Our complexion also changed drastically. The sun is shining in broad daylight, so we have to be careful. If it is the darkest midnight, wouldn’t it be fatal?
"Can it be cracked?" Feng Daniu, who had been silent all this time, asked.

Hu Lai shook his head directly, and said: "The deciphering of the formation involves very profound knowledge, and I am far from reaching that step."

"When is the next September?" I asked.

Hu Lai counted with his fingers and said, "It's the day after tomorrow."

I was speechless for a while, I was too caught off guard, the coffin was opened at midnight, it was very ominous, one bad thing, all have to be explained here.

"Why don't you try dismantling it violently, if you really can't use explosives directly, I don't believe you can't open it!" Cao Nan said fiercely.

"Are you afraid that others will not know that we are opening the coffin?" Huang Mao shook his head speechlessly, denying it directly.

"Then what do you think?" Cao Nan said discouragedly.

I looked at my third uncle, Huangmao Hulai and others also turned their attention to my third uncle. The third uncle pondered for a long time and said, "I have a way to transport the inner and outer coffins to the vicinity of the fair, and I will activate the thunderstorm circle. It was dangerous, so I used a thunderstorm to blast the contents inside into slag, I don’t believe that the contents inside dare to commit crimes under the thunderstorm.”

My heart suddenly brightened, this method seems to be feasible to a certain extent; Huangmaohu nodded after hearing this, saying that this method can be tried.

After we summed it up briefly, we agreed.

The ensuing question is how to conceal the inner coffin and transport it to the vicinity of the polder?

There are many people there, unlike the water tanks here, where you can't see a single family for two or three miles.
