Urban Witcher

Ye Shaoyang took a quick look at the flowers and saw that some people were engaged in wars or sacrifices. He was not very interested, so he directly asked Shi Lei what these murals were~~~la

"The people on it should be the ancestors of the local people... a Miao tribe. This mural tells about them fighting and living under the guidance of God, and so on..."

Ye Shaoyang didn't have the patience to listen, and asked directly, "What kind of god is it?"

Shi Lei illuminated the last mural with his headlamp, and it showed countless soldiers, women and children bowing down at the foot of a mountain.

On the top of the mountain, the guy enjoying people's kneeling has a human face and limbs, but his lower body is a long snake tail, which is dragged out of the screen.

All four of them stared at this strange creature in a daze.

"Could it be that what they believe in is a monster, a monster?" Mu Qingyu wondered.

Shi Lei shook his head, "Maybe it's just an imagination, just like the Nuwa and Fuxi that the Han people believe in, they have a human head and a snake body. This is a kind of belief in abstract ability, and it doesn't mean that there is such a thing."

Ye Shaoyang turned to look at him, and said, "Are you sure?"

"Otherwise, isn't there really a monster with a human face and a snake body in the world?"

Ye Shaoyang didn't make a sound. Although the two snake monsters, Xiaoqing and Xiaobai, can easily change into this appearance, they have different meanings.

The only ones born with a human-faced snake body are the legendary spirit beasts.

"Brother Shaoyang, look this way!"

Mu Qingyu cried out.

Ye Shaoyang looked in the direction of her finger, and on the rock wall on the other side of the cave, a little far ahead, saw one cave after another, with several floors up and down, all over the wall.

In all the caves, there is one thing: a coffin!

The four of them walked over in surprise, checked, and found that they were all the same as the ones they saw in the main cave, and they were all coffins made of iron birch.

Ye Shaoyang slapped his forehead suddenly, and said, "I understand!"

"These coffins are from the same batch as the ones we saw in the main cave!"

As soon as this was said, everyone was stunned.

Shi Lei was the first to react, and said in surprise: "You mean, there is a rock wall between the two caves, and these caves for coffins have opened up both sides?"

Seeing Ye Shaoyang nodding, he asked again: "How do you know?"

"The coffins are all big at one end and small at the other end. You can see for yourself that the coffin we saw in the main cave is the big end of the coffin, while this is the small end."

Shi Lei and the others took a closer look and found that it was indeed the case.

Although Ye Shaoyang guessed this, he was still at a loss as to why this was so, so he lit the three-color lotus lantern again, and aimed at the coffins, trying to detect if there was any evil spirit seeping out of the coffins.

As a result, these coffins were all normal under the test of the three-color lotus lamp.

This result was also within Ye Shaoyang's expectations:

The coffin has the kind of glue that is glued together, and the seal is excellent, and it may have the effect of isolating the breath. It is normal that the three-color lotus lamp cannot detect evil spirits.

Suddenly, when the three-color lotus lantern approached a coffin, the flames swished towards the coffin, as if attracted by evil spirits.

Ye Shaoyang's heart sank, and he looked at the coffin carefully for a long time, but he didn't see any difference.

After thinking about it and understanding something, he took out a rough porcelain bowl from his backpack, opened a bottle of pure water, poured half of the bottle into it, and turned it into talisman water.

Then open a paper packet, pour the powder inside into a bowl, and stir it up.

"What is this?" Mu Qingyu couldn't help asking.

"Clover powder." Ye Shaoyang explained while stirring:

Clover has only three leaves. In Taoism, it symbolizes the sanqing of heaven, earth and man. It can be used in alchemy. Occasionally, the fourth leaf is born, which has spirituality. It is ground into powder and used with magic symbols to test evil spirits.

As long as there is an evil spirit in a place, even if it dissipates for a month, it can be detected by this method.

After stirring evenly, Ye Shaoyang took out the Taiyi Whisk, dipped it in the bowl, and evenly brushed it around the cave in front of him, including the outer side of the coffin.

Then put the three-color lotus lamp over and bake it.

The three-color lotus lamp can detect the existence of evil spirits, and the four-leaf clover powder can develop and transform, which is just right for use.

The three of them gathered behind Ye Shaoyang, their eyes widened, and they began to observe.

After the water stains were dried, some of the cyan four-leaf clover powder turned red under baking.

Sure enough, there is something!

Ye Shaoyang baked it up and down with a candle, and when he was done, he took two steps back and looked over. There was the same red mark on the front of the coffin and the cave.

"Paw prints!"

The four people immediately recognized that the two identical paw prints were made by four fingers, and there were duck webs between the fingers, but they were definitely not duck footprints.

The four people identified it for a long time, but they could not determine what footprints it was.

Ye Shaoyang stretched out his hand and compared it, it was less than one-fifth the size of the paw print.

"This thing has at least the shape of an elephant!"

A monster of this size?

Ye Shaoyang suddenly thought of the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, and shivered all over.

Since the footprints are here, it means that there must be something that monster cares about nearby.

The coffin couldn't be opened, so Ye Shaoyang jumped into the cave and checked it bit by bit with a flashlight.

A flashlight has limited light. Luo Zehao also climbed in, held up a flashlight, and searched in the opposite direction with Ye Shaoyang.

"Here!" Luo Zehao raised his head and pointed the flashlight at a place.

Ye Shaoyang looked up and saw a hole the size of a fist on the smooth rock wall. Because it was above the cave and its location was hidden, it was difficult to find.

Ye Shaoyang left this cave, checked several of them one after another, and found that the caves on the second and third floors each had such holes, which were exactly the same.

As for the lowest cave, the hole is directly on the lower rock wall, together with the surrounding undulating rocks, the position is too low, so it has not been discovered before.

"This small hole is slanted. Judging from the location, it seems to lead to the bottom of the upper coffin..." Luo Zehao said, looking closer to the hole.

Suddenly the eyes flashed, and something came out of the hole and pierced into his eyeball.

"Ah!"

Hearing his scream, Ye Shaoyang and others rushed over immediately, and saw a terrible scene:

Luo Zehao's whole body was lifted up, his feet were dangling in the air, and the top of his head was pressed against the rock wall, as if being sucked by something.

"Ah, help, help!" Luo Zehao tried to push the rock wall with both hands, but it didn't work.

Ye Shaoyang was the first to come back to his senses, strode forward, hugged Luo Zehao's legs, and pulled them down with all his strength, but he didn't move at all, and his heart was filled with horror.

At this moment, Luo Zehao's whole body shook like chaff, and his flesh and blood flowed quickly, being sucked out by that thing.
