Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 39
My eyes fell on the altar in the middle. For some reason, I immediately associated it with the yin-yang fish mechanism under the mummy coffin in the desert. Walking in front of the altar, my hand touched it, and suddenly felt a tingling pain. Withdrawing his hand back: "It hurts."

I stretched out my hand, but there was nothing in my palm, let alone wounds and blood. It was strange, could it be simple neuralgia?I looked at the altar again. On the gossip table, the position of the yin-yang fish was wrong, and the black and white colors were reversed. Meng Luo naturally also noticed it: "Change the position and see."

I nodded, and switched the positions of the black and white colors, and heard a "squeak" sound. The sacrificial altar retracted, and then rose again. When it rose, it was not like a gossip altar, but a rectangular stone surface. , there is a coffin on it!
The surface of the coffin has not undergone any treatment. Seeing the lines, my heart trembled: "Old Jiu."

"Gloomy wood, I've seen it before." Lao Jiu's reaction was relatively calm: "Our seniors in this industry have said that corpses can be stored in a gloomy wooden coffin without decay. Every gloomy wood that is found has at least a few Thousands of years of history, or even ten thousand years."

The gloomy wood has both the quaintness of wood and the charm of stone tools. It is known as "Oriental sacred wood and plant mummy". Earthquakes, floods, and mudslides buried all plant organisms on the ground in low-lying places such as ancient river beds. Some trees buried in silt, in the absence of Under the condition of oxygen and high pressure, under the action of bacteria and other microorganisms, ebony is formed after thousands of years of carbonization process, so it is also called carbonized wood.

In the past dynasties, ebony was used as a thing to ward off evil spirits, handicrafts, Buddha statues, and amulet pendants.The ancients said: "A half square of ebony in a home is better than a box of treasures."

Because any tree may be buried in the mud, it may be Phoebe, or hemp willow and camphor tree. These different trees will be buried for thousands of years, and they will form the precious gloomy wood now.

I put my nose up and smelled it, and there was a faint fragrance, "It has a fragrance, it may be made of nanmu or something, and it is priceless." After all, I am still a businessman, and these things are all based on the price, " It's a pity that we can't take this coffin away, the gloomy wooden coffin is still being searched for on the black market."

"What a philistine." Lao Jiu sighed, swallowing at the same time: "However, you guessed it right, this place is a Fengshui Bureau, and the person in this gloomy wooden coffin must be Xiang Yu's ancestor."

"You'll know when you open it." Meng Luo said, but the boy's face was not very good-looking, and he was already on guard: "Something is wrong."

He stared fixedly at the gloomy wooden coffin. There was already a yellow talisman in his hand, and he was staring at the coffin cautiously with his fingers between his hands. Lao Jiu and I looked at each other and started to open the coffin. To open the coffin, first To pry open the seven nails above.

After the corpse and sacrificial objects are put in place, the coffin lid is then nailed, which is called "nailing down" among the people.Generally, seven nails are used, commonly known as "children's nails", which are said to enable future generations to prosper.

Lao Jiu opened the coffin very quickly, as expected of a fast hand, I couldn't help at all, I just saw the nails falling to the ground one by one, making a crisp sound, this gloomy wooden coffin has the effect of preserving the freshness of human corpses , It seems to be the same for the nails, the bright nails are a bit shocking.

"Evil, really evil, can these nails hurt people now?" I laughed.

Both Lao Jiu and Meng Luo didn't mean to joke, their faces looked quite heavy, Lao Jiu had already pulled out the last nail, hearing the sound, Lao Jiu said: "Lin Tianyi, help me open the lid together."

I responded, and lifted the lid of the coffin together with Lao Jiu, and I could see the scene inside, almost at the same time, there was a strange smell inside...

Also at this time, Meng Luo suddenly turned around and slammed into me fiercely. This kid usually looks so thin, but now he has a lot of strength. My body flew out directly and fell heavily on the ground. The vertebrae fell to the ground, and the pain made me want to curse, but when I saw the scene in front of me and my voice rolled down my throat, I lost the thought of speaking...

In the coffin stood a man, no, he was not so much a man as a monster, he was indeed upright, but his back was raised high like a camel's hump, and there were two round holes in his face , the fangs at the corners of the mouth protruded, revealing red gums, the shroud had been torn, exposing dry skin, the skin had turned purple-brown due to lack of moisture, and there was a layer of gel-like substance on the outside, this guy's The action is very fast, not at all like the zombies that appear in the movie. At this moment, he is stretching out his hands with sharp nails, and rushing towards the nearest old nine!

"Old Jiu, be careful!" At this moment, all I can do is remind.

It was too late to say it, but it was soon, seeing that thing was about to grab his face, Lao Jiu didn't know where the strength came from, and picked up the coffin lid that fell on the ground in one breath, and in front of him, the claw Grabbing firmly into the coffin lid, with a "snap", it penetrated directly, but fortunately, the fingertips got stuck just in front of Lao Jiu's eyeballs!
I breathed a sigh of relief, and was amazed at the speed of Lao Jiu's actions. At this moment, Meng Luo shook out the yellow talisman he had prepared just now, and while rushing towards the monster, he bit the tip of his tongue. Blood gushed out, he stained it with a yellow talisman, and drew on it with his fingers, taking advantage of the thing being entangled with Lao Jiu, he took advantage of the opportunity to pat that thing on the back!
The monster's body froze suddenly, and there was a howl from its mouth. Lao Jiu hurriedly dropped the coffin lid in his hand, and ran towards me. I was still in the mood to tease him: "It's better to run faster."

"Fuck you, it was a close call just now, I didn't even have a chance to stand up and run away." Lao Jiu said, "Now I have to hand it over to that boy Meng Luo, it's not our category."

Meng Luo's figure was faster than the wind. After pasting the yellow talisman on the monster's back, he went around to its front again. He moved both hands at the same time, and pasted one on the forehead and chest of the monster respectively. One exception was that they were all stained with blood from the tip of his tongue!

With a "swish", a group of flames burned from the thing's body. The thing was in great pain, waving its hands, and there was a "cracking" sound from its body, and finally with a "boom", its body collapsed. The fire is still burning, and this thing emits a pungent smell, but it has become a charred corpse!
Munro let out a long breath: "Solved."

"Damn it, what is this?" I wiped the sweat from my brow, dodged the attack, just watched the fun, and was so scared that my heart pumped and I sweated.

Meng Luo wiped the corner of his mouth to wipe away the blood, and then explained: "It should be that the corpse in the coffin has become stiff."

"How could the gloomy wooden coffin turn into zombies? Could it be related to the breaking of the Feng Shui Bureau and the Juyin pool you mentioned just now?" Lao Jiu was puzzled: "The good gloomy wooden coffin actually gave birth to zombies. "

"And it's white stiff." Meng Luo said: "It moves smartly, and it has white hair growing on its body. When the white stiff first started to form, the white hair on its body was like the hair of a newborn baby. Zombie came out of the coffin, sucked the blood of animals, including human blood, the white hair on the body will slowly fall off, replaced by tough black hair, and then it will become black zombie."

"It can still evolve continuously. It's amazing." The fire on the ground was finally extinguished, and it became a pile of black charcoal with white smoke still billowing.

"Both black stiffness and white stiffness are easy to deal with. Although they can move more freely, they haven't opened their wits yet." Meng Luo said, "I still have more than enough to deal with them. It will be difficult to deal with them in the future, but those things The chances of encountering it are very small.”

"I don't think that since I met you, all the strange things have come out." I sighed: "Unfortunately, the identity of this corpse cannot be identified, but the Feng Shui Bureau's statement is almost indistinguishable. gone."

"Gao Ming, the person who designed this place is actually very smart." Meng Luo said suddenly: "The Juyin Pool was built in the land of four shades, but here is the water cave for Qianlong. Use the Juyin Pond to protect this geomantic treasure cave. It's a rare treasure game in a thousand years, but it's a pity, it's a pity that this game was broken because of the tree's death."

"Since the people who designed this place are so clever, how could they let the tree die? It's really contradictory, and I don't know where Xiang Yu found the Feng Shui master. It was a bad move. No wonder it will end up like that in the future, and it will hurt the future. Man, didn't you say that once this game is broken, the future generations may not have great luck."

"That's right, there was a gap. Either the person who designed this place wanted to miss it, or someone came in and broke it." Meng Luo said: "There are only two explanations, no matter which one it is, the result is that Xiang Yu Defeated, did not win the world."

Lao Jiu stood up: "Those guys are really lucky, they didn't think too deeply, just carried the golden gong and left."

I stood up abruptly: "No, we have to go out immediately. We have been in for so long, and it is not long before dawn."

After daybreak, it is hard to guarantee that no one will enter the mountain. Once it is discovered, the problem will be serious. Lao Jiu also agrees with my conclusion. We quickly went to the hole opened by the iron hand group. The stone wall exploded, and then left from there. Through the hole, you can see the earth wall outside. On the earth wall is also a square robbery hole, still in the old Guanzhong style.

"These people are really powerful, are you going to dig them out like this?" I wondered, "How long are we going to dig them out like this?"

Thinking back, it seems that there was no movement in four or ten minutes. Could it be that the robbery hole leading to the outside was dug in only four or ten minutes?

"Only four and ten minutes, is it possible?" I asked.

"Using special tools and people like that, four to ten minutes is already low efficiency. Among the older generations, someone can get through this robbery hole alone, and it also takes four to ten minutes."

Before I could express my amazement, Lao Jiu said: "Hurry up, they will fill up the robbery hole."

"What? Landfill?!" I was shocked.
