Urban Witcher

Passing through the arched corridor, everyone came to a huge space. Under the lighting of cold smoke and fire, it could be a dome hall, with dozens of white marble pillars standing up to the dome. Dragons and phoenixes are carved on it, which is lifelike.

The three stone walls divided the entire hall into three, separated by three roads, and there was a rectangular pool in the middle of each road, with dark red spots on the edge, and it was not known if it was real blood.

"This is the place for offering sacrifices!" Sibao said in a deep voice, pointing to the three pools respectively, saying: "Blood pool, bone pool, and R pool."

As he spoke, he chose a random path, walked to the edge of the pool, and looked down. There were countless bones inside, but they were well preserved. They were mainly large domestic animals such as pigs, horses and cattle, and there were also bones similar to them. There is no lack of human bones, but it does not look tall, so it should not be an adult.

"These are all used for burial. Four birds and four beasts, forty-four each, plus twenty pairs of boys and girls... This is the emperor's specification." Sibao said sadly.

"Why do you do that!" Sibao gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"After the burial, the blood is taken to refine the soul, which is used to increase the evil spirit in the tomb. The corpse absorbs the evil spirit, which can ensure that the corpse will not rot forever." Sibao shrugged helplessly, "The ancients wanted their corpses to exist forever, and I also I don’t know what kind of psychology this is, it’s the same even abroad, mummy is an example.”

Xiao Ma snorted coldly: "Just because of this, killing so many living people, still virgins, isn't this a crime?"

"The lives of these people are nothing more than worthless in the eyes of the king." Sibao sighed.

At this moment, a burst of crying suddenly sounded in the silent hall, echoing in the empty hall, it sounded creepy.

Everyone followed the prestige and found countless figures surrounded by the dome, almost transparent, circling back and forth in the sky, and slowly falling down, all of them were boys and girls dressed in ancient costumes, covered in blood, covering their faces and crying, standing on the ground The land came slowly.

Ye Shaoyang took a look and said: "Don't be afraid, these are not ghosts, their souls should have been refined long ago, these are just a ray of spirit of the deceased, probably because the atmosphere here is too heavy and the terrain is closed, so They didn't disperse, they didn't hurt anyone."

These primordial ghosts flew in front of the crowd, grinning their teeth, showing all kinds of bitterness, and weeping endlessly.

Although he knew that Yuanshen would not hurt people, it was always uncomfortable to be surrounded by so many figures.

Ye Shaoyang swept across with a long whip, and wherever he passed, the ghosts were shattered.

"It's too cruel." Xiaoma said.

"They are just the primordial spirits that have not been dissolved. They smell the yang energy that we emit, and they gather instinctively. They are not conscious."

Ye Shaoyang smashed all the ghosts in front of him, turned around and walked to the middle road, and came to the front of the pool.

Sibao is right, this is a pool of blood, but after hundreds of years, there is no blood in it, but the bottom and walls of the pool are pitch-black, one can tell that blood was once filled.

Sighing, Ye Shaoyang came to the third pool again, leaned over to look, but was shocked, this is not the R pool, but a coffin, and when the headlight shines on it, the coffin reflects a metallic luster.

"Isn't this the R pool? Why is there a coffin?" Ye Shaoyang checked the surroundings with a headlamp, and seeing that there seemed to be no danger, he jumped down, and Sibao followed suit, looking around the coffin.

The coffin was made of brass, with ornate shapes, and it was full of decorative reliefs, and there were no clues.

Sibao put his ears on the coffin, and tapped the coffin lid lightly. He wanted to check whether it was empty or contained something, but suddenly there was a knocking sound inside, and the two backed away in shock.

After waiting for a while, there was another muffled bang inside.

Everyone looked at each other with nervousness in their eyes.

A coffin that was hundreds of years ago naturally couldn't contain any living things. Could it be... Zombies?

"Can't it be opened?" Sibao looked at Ye Shaoyang and asked.

"If it's really a zombie, it's okay, I'm afraid that something else will come out." Ye Shaoyang scratched the back of his head.

"What else is there in the coffin besides a corpse?"

"Drive it if you want." Ye Shaoyang shrugged, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

"Go!" Xiao Ma said nervously but excitedly, "We four mages plus a ghost baby, what are we afraid of, at most we will be a corpse king, what if there is something good in the coffin!"

Although Ye Shaoyang was not greedy for good things, he was just curious, so he nodded at Sibao.

Sibao breathed into his hands, took out something from his pocket, and stuffed it into his mouth. Seeing Ye Shaoyang looking at him suspiciously, he said inarticulately: "Death jade can avoid corpse aura, although ordinary corpse aura can't hurt me." , but if it’s a thousand-year-old rice dumpling, I’m also a little scared.”

After speaking, he turned over, climbed onto the coffin lid, knelt down, groped for the pattern with his hands, found a sharp spot, took out a hook with a rope from his pocket, hung it on, jumped off the coffin, and lifted the coffin hard. The cover opens upwards.

"This kind of metal coffin does not use coffin nails, but a simple snap button," Sibao said while busying. "It will not work for an inexperienced person for a day, but for me it is a matter of minutes."

"Be careful, grave robber!" Ye Shaoyang scolded.

Sibao smiled, pointed to the shiny black hook hanging on the coffin lid and said, "Do you know what this is? Touching the gold talisman, I bought it from a local master at a high price. It is said that it is Hu Bayi." Back then I brought..."

He slapped the coffin lid hard with his hand, and only heard a "click", and the loose buckle was opened.

Sibao touched the rope on the golden talisman with both hands, pulled hard, and opened a crack in the coffin.

Ye Shaoyang immediately used his headlamp to shine a light inside, only to see a small yellow blanket with a limited angle, so it couldn't be illuminated.

Guagua also came up and wanted to look in, but was pushed aside by Ye Shaoyang.

Sibao opened the coffin lid another three inches to reveal more space.

Just as Ye Shaoyang was about to bend down to investigate, suddenly a head popped out from inside.

Unsuspecting Ye Shaoyang was startled, and hurriedly backed away. Just as he was about to hit him with the hook, the guy in the coffin crawled out, jumped on the ground, kowtowed three times to Ye Shaoyang on his knees, and then stood up.

It was only then that everyone saw the "thing" in front of them. It was actually a boy who looked five or six years old. He was white and fat, with only a lock of hair on the top of his head, which was tied into a single braid. He was wearing a big red bellyband, and he looked aggrieved. Looking at Ye Shaoyang.

A living child dug out of a coffin?

Ye Shaoyang looked at the boy in a daze. He looked innocent, and his complexion was good, without any evil spirit. He looked like the image of a fat boy often seen in New Year pictures.
