Chapter 246 Water dragon lice
I tightened my arms, looked sideways, and saw Ghost Detective Xu nervously pointing to the coffin, and asked with gestures what the runes on the coffin meant.

The coffin, which seemed to be covered with red eyes, lay quietly at the bottom of the underground river, and the bright red runes looked a little strange.

I was in a complicated mood, recalling the record in the broken Xiangjing, which was a paragraph written by the ancestors with a pen on a broken page.

"Thousand-eyed sandalwood coffin is extremely fierce and evil, and the dragon lice in the coffin are not afraid of water and fire."

That broken page is the ancestor's essay, recording some sorcery about the Five Dou Rice Sect.

With a solemn face, I told Ghost Tan Xu with gestures to be careful.

At the same time, I was very puzzled. I didn't know why there was an evil coffin of the Five Bucket of Rice Sect in Zhang Xianzhong's treasure.

The two are completely irrelevant, no matter whether it is official history or unofficial history, it has never been heard that Zhang Xianzhong has any relationship with the Five Dou Rice Sect.

The thousand-eyed sandalwood coffin lay quietly in front of us, without any abnormality.

We cautiously swam close to the river, intending to bypass the evil coffin.

There are steep rock walls on both sides of the cave, and we can't find any other foothold except soaking in the river water.

When I passed the evil coffin shoulder to shoulder, I even held my breath, for fear of disturbing the evil things in the coffin.

Ghost Detective Xu has been following closely behind. There was a slight sound from behind. I turned my head and looked behind me.

The oxygen cylinder on Ghost Detective Xu's back was hanging on a short sword inserted into the stone wall. He struggled a bit, but did not break free, and subconsciously pulled out the short sword with his hand.

My eyelids twitched, and I cried out in my heart that I was not good. Ever since I saw the thousand-eyed sandalwood coffin, I knew that this evil coffin was mostly used to protect the treasures at the bottom of the river.

Unexpectedly, after thousands of calculations, the taboo that the treasure at the bottom of the river cannot be moved was accidentally broken by the ghost detective Xu.

Ghost detective Xu didn't notice it, he was admiring the sharp dagger in his hand, I turned my head and saw the thousand-eyed sandalwood coffin on the other side, and there was indeed a change.

I quickly patted Ghost Detective Xu's arm to attract his attention, then pointed to the evil coffin beside me.

When Ghost Detective Xu saw the trembling evil coffin, he was startled, and subconsciously cast his eyes on me.

Things have come to this point, even if I lose the dagger, it's meaningless, I made a gesture to leave quickly, and swam forward.

From time to time, I nervously looked back at the evil coffin, and saw that the trembling of the coffin body was getting stronger and stronger, and there seemed to be something inside that was about to rush out.

Ghost Detective Xu pinned the dagger to his waist, and quickly slid his arms, trying to stay away from the evil coffin.

A few seconds later, the lid of the thousand-eyed sandalwood coffin fell aside, and a black torrent rushed out.

"Dragon lice!" My pupils shrank suddenly, and the large black area was made up of black bugs the size of nail shells.

The black torrent circled around the coffin and chased us.

Thinking of the description of this kind of bug in the Broken Book, I was so frightened that I only broke out in a cold sweat, and accelerated to swim forward.

The black torrent composed of dragon lice moved rapidly under the water, and the distance between us was getting closer little by little.

I nervously looked at both sides of the underground river, looking for a place to hide. Suddenly, my eyes lit up, and it seemed that I could go ashore ahead.

Ghost Detective Xu swam to the shore first, climbed up, crawled down, and stretched out his hand to pull me.

I paddled desperately and looked back. The black torrent behind me was less than one meter away, and I could even clearly see the ferocious mouthparts of those insects.

Taking a deep breath, I reached out and grabbed Ghost Tan Xu's arm, quickly kicked off the underwater stone wall with my legs, and climbed up.

After rushing forward for two or three meters, I tore off the oxygen mask, looked back nervously, and saw the river water kept churning.

"What is that? Why are there bugs in the coffin?" Ghost Detective Xu leaned over nervously.

Just as I was about to answer, a group of black clouds rushed out of the water, and the buzzing sound was overwhelming, and the group of dragon lice flapped their wings and chased after them.

"Run!" My complexion changed drastically, I didn't expect this kind of evil insect to be able to fly.

Panting heavily, we ran wildly in the underground cave, followed by a scalp-numbing buzzing sound.

"No, those bugs are chasing too fast, I have to find a way." Ghost Detective Xu looked back and said out of breath.

I reached into my trouser pocket, took out a copper flute, and played a few times by my mouth.

What is disappointing is that the copper flute, which has a miraculous effect on bugs, cannot control the dragon lice. These guys have no response to the sound of the flute.

I stretched out my hand and threw back a handful of burning talisman papers, and quickened my pace. Right now, I had no choice but to take one step at a time.

The leading big dragon lice flew very fast, and quickly caught up with us, opening their ferocious mouthparts, and bit us.

I waved the Gouyu sword nervously, splitting a dragon lice in half, the green juice splashed on the back of my hand, and I was so focused on the pain.

"Be careful, the fluid in the bug's body is poisonous." I gritted my teeth and endured the pain, reminding Ghost Tan Xu.

Ghost Tan Xu held a short sword with a cold light in his hand, it was the sword that got to the bottom of the river. This sword was very sharp, and when he swung it, he split two dragon lice in half.

Receiving my reminder, Ghost Detective Xu didn't wait for the juice to fall on his body, and quickly took a step back to avoid the venom in the dragon louse's body.

After being delayed for a while by the chasing dragon lice, the black torrent behind us quickly closed the distance, less than two meters away from us.

Looking at the densely packed dragon lice, I was so frightened that my hairs stood on end, I turned my head and ran away.

When a person is in a desperate situation, his potential will be stimulated. My legs are moving like the wind, and the speed is much faster than usual.

Ghost Detective Xu has good physical fitness, and he followed closely behind, without missing a step.

A layer of misty cold air appeared in front of me, and the temperature dropped suddenly. I shivered and continued to run forward.

The group of dragon lice, who are not afraid of water and fire, seemed a little afraid of the cold, and slowed down. Seeing the hope of escape, we resisted the cold and accelerated our pace.

"It's so cold, the temperature here is too low." Ghost Detective Xu shivered, and quickly rubbed his hands together.

"Don't worry about it so much, let's get rid of the bugs in the back first." I let out a breath of cold air.

Although the temperature here is low, it is not enough to freeze to death, but if it is caught up by the black torrent behind it, it will definitely die miserably.

After running for a further distance, some ice edges had appeared on the top of the cave ahead, and the chill was piercing.

I glanced sideways, and saw that there was a thin layer of ice on the surface of the underground river on the side, which looked crystal clear under the light.

"No, I can't stand the cold, I'm freezing to death." Ghost Detective Xu was shivering non-stop.

I looked back and saw that group of dragon lice were wandering behind and did not chase after them. This was the only good news in the predicament.

Ghost Detective Xu clasped his hands together, rubbing his arms desperately, his lips turned white from the cold, fortunately he was wearing a wet suit, if the wet clothes were close to his body, he would definitely freeze to death.

I have Yanghuo body protection and cold resistance, which is stronger than Ghost Tan Xu. Seeing that he couldn't bear the cold, I bit my finger and drew a Yanghuo talisman.

The yang fire talisman can stimulate the yang energy in the human body. After being imprinted with the yang fire talisman, Ghost Detective Xu's body shivered much better, and his lips finally turned red.

"It's getting colder and colder, what should we do?" Ghost Detective Xu asked, rubbing his hands.

I looked ahead and didn't speak. The back road was blocked by the group of dragon lice. We had no other way out except to continue to explore.

"Trying forward, if it doesn't work, let's go back." I hesitated and said.

We endured the cold and walked forward for a certain distance. Fortunately, the temperature in the cave seemed to have reached a zero point and did not drop any further.

"There seems to be a corpse in front." Ghost Tan Xu's voice trembled from the cold.

I have already seen that there is a thin layer of ice on the corpse, which is frozen together with the stone wall beside it.

Judging from the clothes on the other party, it is estimated that he was a dead person decades ago. I wondered who could pass through those evil things and come here.

I walked over quickly, and when I saw the appearance of the corpse, I couldn't suppress the shock in my heart and exclaimed.

"Old ghost of the Yellow River!" My eyes were full of disbelief, the appearance of this corpse was exactly the same as that of the old ghost of the Yellow River.

"What's going on here?" I took a step closer, looked up and down the corpse carefully, and my heart was full of doubts.

"Look, there is a line of writing on the ground." The ghost detective said slowly.

I squatted down and saw a line of messy handwriting on the ground, because of the ice, the handwriting was very well preserved.

"It's all a conspiracy and we've all been lied to by him."

I stared at the handwriting on the ground, feeling uneasy. Ping Bo's words seemed to be verified, but who was the "he" mentioned in the handwriting?

The person in front of me who was frozen on the stone wall, exactly like the old ghost of the Yellow River, obviously died decades ago, so the "old ghost of the Yellow River" we saw, could it be the "he" mentioned in the handwriting?
The whole matter was complicated and confusing. Aning's father said that since his grandfather's generation, the appearance of the old ghost of the Yellow River has not changed, but it is very suspicious.

"It's too scary. Now I don't know if what I saw and heard is true." Xu Xu, the ghost detective, let out a breath of cold air and muttered to himself.

I frowned and stood up. We have seen Zhang Xianzhong's shipwreck treasure with our own eyes, but we have not seen the bronze tripod fragments and blood lotus root that Mr. Wang carried.

After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't have any clues. I rubbed my face with my hands and put these doubts aside. There are two goals that need to be achieved right now.

The first is to find the source of the curse, and the second is to leave this cave alive. It is useless to think too much about other things.

Ghost Detective Xu frowned tightly, stared at the corpse and muttered to himself, I walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said don't think too much, leaving alive is the only way to be serious.

Ghost Detective Xu woke up suddenly, looked ahead, gritted his teeth and continued to explore.

After walking for about a few minutes, a ray of light appeared on the top of the cave, which made us both surprised and happy, and cautiously quickened our pace.

I held the Gouyu sword tightly, my back was a little tense, my eyes were fixed on the light, longing for the exit, but worried that it was something else.

The cold air here is a bit heavy, and I stepped on the Kui Dou step to stimulate the Yang fire on my shoulders to resist the cold air around me.

Although Ghost Detective Xu's body kept trembling, he could barely hold on after imprinting the Yanghuo Talisman.
