Taboo Master

Chapter 308 The Coffin
On the mountain wall, a secret door suddenly appeared, and my heartbeat suddenly accelerated. It was dark inside, and there were faint gusts of wind blowing out. Listening carefully, there seemed to be the sound of dripping water.

I thought to myself, since there is wind blowing here, it means that the air is circulating. There must be another exit on the other side of the secret road on the mountain wall. Maybe Grandpa went out from there.

Thinking of this, I cheered up, clinging to the mountain wall, and walked in cautiously.

The cave was pitch black. I stood at the entrance of the cave and got used to it for a while before continuing to move forward. In fact, I am not unfamiliar with this kind of cave. I used to drill caves with my friends when I was young. In this ancient Changbai Mountain, There are many ancient caves and mountain paths, and some of them are often related to each other. I don't know where this secret path will lead to at this time.

This is a secret road sloping down, only two meters wide, with uneven feet and potholes on the mountain wall. I walked inside for a while and stopped. It was a bit too dark.

After thinking about it, I took out a fire character from my body, shook it slightly, and flames popped out of it, just lighting up a section of the surrounding road, I smiled a little, unexpectedly, this thing has this effect.

So I held the fire character in my hand, tried to control the burning speed with my mind, and walked a long way in the winding and secret road, but found nothing. Although the road under my feet gradually became flat and no longer a slope, the surrounding area was empty. , except for occasional water droplets falling from the top of the cave, and some slippery and damp moss on both sides of the mountain wall, there is nothing unusual.

However, I always have a bad premonition in my heart. In this seemingly empty secret passage, it seems that there is always a feeling of being spied on secretly.

I wondered secretly, but my feet didn't stop. As I walked, the road in front of me suddenly became a little wider. I saw it from a distance, and there seemed to be an open space not far ahead.

I walked over quickly, but at this moment, the fire character in my hand flickered and went out.

At this moment, there seemed to be a swipe in front of him, and a black shadow flashed across!
I felt a numbness in my scalp, and immediately took out another fire character, waved it casually, the flames burst into flames, and swung my hand towards the direction of the shadow.

The flame drew a parabola in the darkness, and then fell to the ground. I flashed a fire character again, ran over quickly, and looked at the ground, but there was nothing there. With a thought, the previous fire character There was a bang, and a ball of flame burst out, illuminating all directions, but because there was no combustible thing, it quickly and slowly extinguished.

But at this moment, I clearly saw an open field in front of me, and in the corner of the mountain wall, there was a row of dark things, I couldn't see what it was.

My heart moved, I quickly turned on the flame, walked up to have a look, and was immediately taken aback.

This is a semi-circular open space recessed from the mountain wall, about tens of meters in size. In the corner of the mountain wall, there is a row of black coffins.

This sudden scene made me secretly surprised, but I had already prepared myself, so I walked over calmly, held up the fire talisman, and observed.

There are five coffins in this row, counting from right to left. They look exactly the same. They are all thick black nanmu coffins. It has a peculiar smell, which makes people smell uncomfortable.

I know that this is the smell of corpses. Although these coffins look old, the cave is dark and damp, and corpses will emit some smell, and they will rot faster.

It's just that these coffins are placed here alone, without spirit tablets or inscriptions, so it is impossible to know who is lying in these coffins.

I frowned. If the secret path has something to do with the agency and grandpa, then the coffin here must also have something to do with our Han family, for example...

No, no, it can't be from the Han family. I remember that when I was young, I went to the mountains with my grandfather to worship our ancestors. They all had separate tombs, and they were not here at all. It is disrespectful to let the moisture corrode in such a hidden cave.

I began to observe carefully from the first coffin, trying to find some clues. However, these coffins were all nailed tightly, and there were no signs or words on the coffin lids. To analyze whose coffin it was, It's really hard.

one two three four……

When I checked the fourth coffin, I almost gave up hope. These coffins are the same in every way, even under the cracks at the bottom of the coffin, I have checked it. It is impossible for me After prying open the coffin, it seems that I should continue to move forward. Maybe there will be new clues when I get out of this cave.

I only took a few glances at the fourth coffin, but didn't observe it carefully. As for the last one, I just glanced at it twice. It seems that there should be nothing special about it.

But just as I was about to turn around and leave, I suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with the fourth coffin.

Looking back carefully, I immediately discovered the problem. The fourth coffin, the coffin lid was actually a little skewed and not straightened!
what does this mean?
A thought flashed through my mind, for his grandma, this coffin should not have been nailed, it was a false cover!
I immediately remembered the fleeting black shadow just now. I thought it was my own illusion, but now, it seems that there must be something strange in it.

I quietly went around to the side of the coffin, stretched out my hand to push the thick coffin lid, held my breath, worked hard in secret, and pushed hard!
I thought that the coffin lid is very heavy, and it will never be opened for a long time. It should be very heavy and sluggish, and it takes at least a lot of strength to push it open. It was a bit heavy, but it didn't make much noise, and it was pushed away smoothly by me.

The moment the coffin lid was opened, I subconsciously covered my mouth and nose, but was quickly stunned. There was no pungent smell in this coffin as I imagined!
Inside the coffin, there was a person wearing a black cloth lying quietly. I lightened the fire talisman slightly, and looked inside, and saw that the whole body of this person was covered by the black cloth, only the head and face were exposed, but that face He seemed to have suffered severe burns on his face and looked a bit horrible. His eyes were closed, his hands were folded on his chest, and he was motionless.

It seemed that it was really a dead person, but it looked like a person who had just died, because although his death was miserable, there seemed to be no sign of decay in this humid environment.But if it was someone who just died, how did he get into this coffin?

And who would it be, to hide him here secretly?

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly moved, and I carefully stretched out my hand to pull the black cloth on his body. I wanted to analyze from his clothes and belongings, who is this person...

However, just when my hand touched the black cloth, a sneer suddenly came from beside me, my hand trembled subconsciously, and I was about to turn my head to look, when something unexpected happened, and I saw the person in the coffin, Suddenly turned over and sat up!

I was startled, and retracted my hand almost like a conditional launch. The man immediately pressed the coffin with both hands, brushed it, and jumped out of the coffin. Standing in front of me, he looked back at me, and walked forward. run.

Damn, I was so angry, this guy is indeed a living person, he pretended to be dead on purpose!

I'm not too polite, he ran away, and I chased after him, there must be something wrong with this guy, as long as he can be caught, he will be able to solve the secret here and the reason why grandpa disappeared.

The secret road ahead is much wider and flatter, but that guy is obviously more familiar with the terrain than I am. After turning east and west in front for a long time, he gradually left me behind.

He can actually see things in the dark, but I still have to rely on the fire talisman to illuminate. I was a little annoyed, grabbed two fire talismans, yelled, flew one out, and went straight to hit the man behind, but the distance A little too far away, the fire talisman didn't hit him, and fell down, exploding a ball of flames on the ground, and then disappeared.

But this time, it also gave me a chance to see the road ahead. I rushed forward, and it seemed that I was only a dozen meters away from catching him, but at this moment, this strange man swayed beside the mountain wall, and the whole body Just disappeared.

I also rushed over, and hurriedly looked on the mountain wall, where the strange man disappeared.

Right there, a hole suddenly appeared. For someone like me, you have to bend over to get through.

I'm in a bit of trouble, this is obviously a posture of one man guarding the gate and ten thousand men not opening. If I slip through, that person will give me a blow from the opposite side, what should I do?
I was hesitating, but I saw a ray of light reflected from the hole. I hurriedly lowered my head to look, but I happened to see that the strange man seemed to have opened a passage in the cave inside, and the outside skylight penetrated into it. The caves became more and more clear to my eyes.

I slowly widened my eyes, looking at everything in front of me in disbelief, the memory that was long ago but deep in my heart suddenly flooded into my mind...
