"You mean to say... the evil spirit's nest is inside this coffin?" Zhang Jinya's face suddenly turned ugly, and he said through gritted teeth: "This bronze coffin must be suppressing something big inside, it's hard to say exactly what kind of big thing it is, now we..."
Zhang Jinya didn't finish his words, but we all understood what he meant.
The situation in Gao Xianzhi's tomb was strange, not to mention the thing that pushed me from behind earlier, just the big thing on the dragon's land was extraordinary, and who knows what level of zombie it could be. Black zombies, white zombies, hopping zombies, those are manageable, but if it's something not much different from a drought demon, then we are really asking for trouble. It's like inviting disgust into your home, and being thoroughly disgusted.
"The compass shows that it's inside the coffin, so it should be correct."
Qing Yi sighed and said, "Let's open the coffin. We knew before coming this time that it was one of the ten most dangerous tombs, so we couldn't avoid this ordeal! Moreover, this is our mission, if we don't deal with this evil tomb, it will become a disaster sooner or later, the organization takes this operation very seriously."
That organization again...
After hearing this, my heart stirred, it seems that Qing Yi also belongs to that organization, so what exactly is this organization? What are their tombs like?
I had many questions in my heart, but I didn't have much say in this matter, so I chose to remain silent.
"Forget it, if the evil spirit's nest is really inside the coffin, we still have to open this coffin!"
Wu Fatty sighed helplessly: "Once the organization's mission is issued, it will definitely not be retracted. Either we all die here, or we have to solve all the problems, you all know this. Since we came here, we must clarify things."
With Wu Fatty's words, the others all gave a silent bitter smile.
At this point, there really was no better solution.
Wu Fatty poked me and suddenly leaned in and said, "Little Tian, this job of lifting the coffin lid is the unique skill of your Faqiu Clan, how about... you do it?"
"Right, how could I forget that the Ge family has this craft?"
Zhang Jinya's eyes lit up, and he laughed: "The Faqiu Clan uses the Faqiu Seal to suppress the coffin, taking the tomb owner's treasures as if they were robbing them. Unless it's something particularly fierce, they can only watch helplessly as the Faqiu Clan takes things, they can only stare angrily on the side, but they dare not express their anger!"
Damn, these two jerks are setting me up again!
Knowing that there's a big thing inside the coffin, they still want me to go up. Once the coffin is opened and the big thing jumps out, I'll be the first one in trouble, and then it'll be too late even for tears.
"Me go up?"
I sneered: "Haven't you heard a saying 'For the bronze coffin, do not approach unless your destiny is strong'? If I were to lift the lid of this coffin, something is bound to go wrong, do you believe that?"
The two jerks suddenly widened their eyes, obviously they hadn't thought of this.
"No need to talk anymore, this time it should be Wu Fatty's turn!"
Rosa suddenly spoke up, coldly saying: "Stop picking on a newcomer, when the ancient temple was surrounded by ghost soldiers, it was him who rushed out and held them off. Now you still have the face to talk?"
After being called out by Rosa, even Wu Fatty and Zhang Jinya felt a bit embarrassed. Hesitating for a moment, Wu Fatty finally nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll open this tomb!"
After speaking, Wu Fatty took a black donkey's hoof and a candle from his backpack, lit the candle in the southeast corner of the tomb chamber, and then bowed three times to the coffin, muttering: "Buddy, it's not that I want to dig your grave on purpose, you know the place you're in is not right, this is one of the ten most dangerous tombs, it's a disaster for the living world. You were a loyal minister and a famous general in life, I hope you can consider the people of this world even after death. If there's any offense in what I'm doing, please forgive me."
Then, Fatty put the black donkey's hoof in his mouth, took a crowbar, and started looking for a place to pry open the coffin.
I knew that the candle he lit in the southeast corner of the main tomb chamber was actually for testing good or bad luck. In fact, both the Faqiu Clan and the Touching Gold School have such rules. When opening a coffin and taking things, you must light a candle in the southeast corner of the main tomb chamber. If the candle goes out during the opening of the coffin, it means the tomb is extremely dangerous, and you must put back whatever you took, kowtow three times respectfully to the tomb owner, and then retreat the way you came without looking back! Because many tomb owners, after death, due to their attachment to wealth, stay in the tomb and refuse to enter the cycle of reincarnation. If you touch their treasures, they will definitely warn you by blowing out the candle, hence the saying "humans light candles, ghosts blow them out."
At this time, Fatty had already pried open the lid of the bronze coffin with a "clack", and then pushed it forward, causing the lid to fall off, revealing the coffin inside.
The coffin was dark and it was unclear what material it was made of. It looked about the same size as an ordinary coffin. As soon as the lid of the bronze coffin was lifted, it was exposed.
"Wow, this guy's burial goods are really rich!"
Fatty suddenly exclaimed: "There are even two jade ruyi scepters, as the saying goes, gold has a price but jade is priceless, these two items can fetch a good price if taken out!"
"Get moving!"
Rosa urged: "It's already good enough that it's not bothering you, and you still want to take its things? Do you not want to live?"
"I was just saying, occupational hazard! Heh heh..."
Fatty laughed awkwardly, rolled up his sleeves, and got ready to start.
I had been observing the coffin and felt that it looked very familiar. After concentrating for a while, I remembered that I had seen this thing recorded in "Faqiu Secret Techniques"!
A Yinzi Coffin!!
In the deep mountains and valleys where the sun never shines, there is a kind of carbon-colored strange tree. This tree has never seen sunlight since it began to grow. Ordinary trees grow a ring every year, but for this kind of tree that never sees sunlight, it takes decades or even a hundred years for a ring to grow. This is called Yinzi wood, and a coffin made of Yinzi wood is called a Yinzi coffin. This kind of coffin is used to suppress things that have turned into corpses!
Bronze coffin, Yinzi coffin...
What kind of thing has turned into a corpse inside to use such an item for suppression!
Thinking of this, my face turned green, and I quickly shouted: "Fatty, be careful, the thing inside is very fierce!"
Unfortunately, by this time, Fatty had already inserted the crowbar into the gap of the Yinzi coffin. Hearing my shout, he turned his head in confusion, but his hands didn't stop at all. With a "crack", he pried open the lid of the Yinzi coffin.
It's over!
My heart sank. At this moment, I couldn't care whether my destiny was strong or weak. I rushed up, grabbed Fatty, and pulled him down. Fatty didn't stand firm and fell onto his buttocks on the ground.
"Damn, what the hell are you doing?"
Fatty glared with bulging eyes: "There are still several nails that haven't been pried open!"
"You don't know anything!"
I cursed, saying: "Do you know what this is? This is a Yinzi coffin! According to our Faqiu Clan, the things in this kind of coffin are not to be messed with, but if you must open the coffin, you can only pry three nails, because the rest of the coffin will open on its own. When you've pried them all off, that thing will immediately jump out. If you're standing on top of the coffin, can you escape? I'm saving you, do you understand?"
Fatty's face turned pale at that moment.
At this time, a cold wind suddenly blew through the tomb, and the flame of the candle in the southeast corner of the tomb chamber suddenly shot up nearly a meter high, turning into a ghastly green color, almost like ghost fire!
Fatty and I were both a bit stunned by this turn of events.
Ghost blowing out the candle, ghost blowing out the candle, it's called ghost blowing out the candle when the flame goes out, but what does it mean when the flame suddenly shoots up a meter high and turns green? Not to mention me, a rookie with only theoretical knowledge, even Fatty was a bit confused.
But before we could recover from this series of dramatic changes, the two coffins in the tomb chamber made a loud "bang" at the same time, the lids trembled as if they were about to be lifted at any moment.
"Damn, it's coming out!"
Fatty, who usually boasts a lot, immediately started yelling when this happened...
