Chapter 143: Insect-Raising Coffin, Phoenix Fire, Lake View
“The shopkeeper?”
The coffin room is not large, only three meters square from front to back.
Only a wooden coffin lay quietly in the depths.
It is an ordinary cypress coffin. It is hard to imagine that the wife of the King of Xian was, after all, the mother of a country in Han people's parlance.
But after death...it turned out to be so shabby.
Not to mention the copper coffin and bronze coffin, even the high priest's crimson jade coffin is inferior.
Lighted by a few flickering lights.
It can be seen that the wooden coffin is extremely rough, with only one coffin and one coffin. There is a faint black bird totem on the coffin wall, which echoes the pattern outside the coffin inside and outside.
But apart from that, there is no trace of the luxury of the Phoenix Coffin.
It even gives the impression that the coffin is made of leftover scraps of yellow-heart cypress wood.
This is what Miss Hong can’t understand.
She even doubted whether the person buried in the wooden coffin was Mrs. Xian Wang.
She is just a maid.
That’s why I let the guy make the final decision.
However, even she didn't expect that before she could pry it, the shopkeeper would come after her.
Looking back.
He climbed up the mountain ladder.
A serious look on his face, his eyes like a knife.
Facing those eyes, Miss Hong couldn't help but feel a thump in her heart.
But soon...she discovered that the shopkeeper's eyes were not on her, but on the wooden coffin behind her.
“Change?!”
She has been with Chen Yulou for many years.
The wind comes and the rain comes.
I saw a lot of things in those eyes in an instant.
He lifted his cuffs, and in an instant, two hidden swords slipped into his palms, and at the same time, he glanced at the surrounding guys.
Those people responded quickly.
Quickly replaced the vaginal claw in his hand with a box cannon or a long knife.
Although he didn't look back, his body was as tight as a bow, and he stared at the wooden coffin from the corner of his eye.
The atmosphere in the entire coffin suddenly became extremely solemn.
The temperature seemed to have dropped below freezing.
Buzz——
Finally.
A faint voice broke the silence.
The red girl frowned and looked attentively through the light in the hands of several people.
Only then did I realize... that seemingly ordinary wooden coffin was actually crawling with strange moth-like insects.
It covers the entire coffin wall.
Hide all the wood and murals underneath.
That’s why it looks gray and has no sense of luxury.
The slight movement was clearly caused by a moth spreading its wings.
She looked at them for a while, but couldn't recognize their origin at all.
In the southern Yunnan area, there are already as many insects as gadflies. I have seen so many along the way. However, since I entered the Tomb of King Xian, I have almost never seen any insects again because of the numerous insect passages.
The only time.
It is still the underground gourd cave that the ferry passed through before.
Many grasshoppers gathered on the lake, and were regarded as food by the alien toads under the lake, chasing them back and forth.
But Hulu Cave can only be regarded as the periphery of Xianwang Xuan Palace.
Lingyun Tiangong has the clear and turbid air of water dragon halo, and poisonous insects cannot enter at all.
There are so many poisonous insects gathering on this coffin.
Then there is only one possibility.
“Insect-raising coffin?!”
The red girl felt a chill in her heart.
I felt goosebumps all over my body.
She had heard about raising corpses in coffins, raising ghosts in coffins, and raising monsters in coffins, but using corpses to raise insects made people shudder just thinking about it.
At this moment, she finally understood why the shopkeeper stopped her.
What if they opened the coffin rashly just now?
At this moment, I am afraid that it has been swallowed up by the insect tide, and not even the bones are left.
Especially for her who has experienced the Pingshan Ancient Tombs.
I still remember that one of the two guys who died was accidentally bitten by a poisonous insect, and then... he melted into a pool of blood before his eyes.
It was also because of that scene.
They finally understood how terrifying the poisonous miasma in Pingshan was.
After that, no one dared to look down upon him. Even if they were trying to steal gold or artifacts, they would still be extremely cautious.
The guys around have also noticed something strange on the coffin.
Everyone was scared out of their wits.
Cold sweat dripped from my forehead.
“Come back!”
Chen Yulou also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately it came quickly.
If I were a step late, I might have witnessed a tragedy.
Those moths may seem ordinary, but they are legendary corpse moths. They breed eggs in the belly of ancient corpses. After they are born, they cannibalize the flesh and blood of the corpse and grow up. They are full of corpse aura and strange poison.
Almost instant death upon contact.
It is no less toxic than the centipedes that grew up after eating lead poison at the foot of Ping Mountain.
Even more sinister.
Because what this corpse moth likes most is human blood.
Once stimulated by blood, it will forcefully burrow into a person's abdomen, using it as a breeding ground to lay eggs.
Ordinary medicinal stones cannot be killed at all.
He can only die in incomparable pain.
Hello.
Girl Hong and the other guys didn't dare to delay. They took a deep breath and quickly turned back, away from the insect coffin.
Walk until you are outside Chen Yulou.
The tense heartstrings were slightly relaxed.
"Are you okay?"
Looking at the red girl in front of him, Chen Yulou couldn't help but feel a little scared.
I just heard from the guys who were staying behind that she was going to go ahead and explore the way.
He was worried.
Subconsciously urge the consciousness to sweep away.
Only then did I discover something strange about the coffin.
You know, there are a total of six coffins in Xianwangxuan Palace.
Coffin, bronze coffin, stone coffin, stone coffin.
As well as the wooden coffin in front of him, and the Zhixian coffin where King Xian is hiding.
Among them, the wooden coffin seems to be the most ordinary.
But when something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Although King Xian was cold-blooded and ruthless, he did not dare to mess with the Feng Shui burial system.
I am afraid that I will miss his important mission of reaching heaven and becoming an immortal.
So, even if it is just a burial coffin, it is done exactly right.
Huangchangtizuo, coffin chamber and phoenix coffin.
However, it has to be said that this person's methods are also extremely cruel.
She is also a wife after all.
In order to balance the turbid atmosphere in this place, he actually used his wife's corpse as an insect nest and built an insect-raising coffin. The word "crazy" cannot be overstated.
Nothing more.
His memories all come from the original work.
That’s what the three people saw when they came to the Golden Palace decades later.
The phoenix coffin was indeed opened.
But the corpse moth was not attached to the outside of the coffin, but inside the belly of the female corpse. Shirley Yang was poisoned by corpse poison, and her life was hanging by a thread. If it hadn't been for swallowing the formed flesh of the back mountain Damn, I'm afraid this place will be damaged.
Unexpectedly, coming here decades in advance, those corpse moths would actually get out of the phoenix coffin.
The most crucial point.
They have been responsible for solving problems here.
I don’t know what happened in the tomb outside.
Three demon coffins, no, four demon coffins, each one more evil than the other.
If she saw it, she would not open the coffin rashly based on her experience.
"No..."
Miss Hong was obviously a little uneasy.
The face is pale and bloodless.
When the shopkeeper asked, he just bit his lip and shook his head slightly.
“That’s good.”
Chen Yulou nodded.
While talking.
The people at Partridge Whistle below have also climbed up the mountain ladder because they were worried.
"Brother Taoist, you came just in time to protect my formation."
The three-story tomb chamber represents the underworld, the human world and the fairy mountain.
Now that the Netherworld Sarcophagus and the three demon coffins have all been opened, the original balance has been completely broken.
The corpse moth here is attracted by the clear and turbid air.
It will only wake up gradually.
Once everyone comes out of the corpse coffin.
The harm caused by that time will not be weaker than that of the stone spirit in the Netherworld Sarcophagus.
Although Partridge Whistle stayed down there and didn't know what was going on, he noticed the chill in his tone, felt a chill in his heart, and agreed immediately.
"Honggu, take a few of them down."
"Also, let the brothers stay away. If the sea of fire cannot be controlled and burns through the coffin room, something may happen."
Burn through?
I was keenly aware of his words.
Partridge Whistle immediately understood.
When Qi Qi glanced at the wooden coffin not far away, he saw crawling insects on the coffin.
He knew even more clearly what Chen Yulou meant by protecting the formation.
Mirror umbrellas are impervious to water and fire.
It is the first-class defense weapon.
In addition, in the tomb below, they had already mastered the true use of the mirror umbrella.
"Yes, from the shopkeeper."
Miss Hong also knew that she couldn't deal with those corpse moths by herself.
Staying here will only distract him.
Immediately left with a few guys.
Not long after.
There were only four people left in the coffin room: Chen Yulou, Partridge Xiao, Hua Ling, and Lao Yangren.
"Form up!"
The Partridge Whistle is well aware of the danger and does not dare to delay at all.
Take a deep breath and remind in a deep voice.
"Yes, senior brother!"
Hearing this, Hua Ling and the old foreigner took out their mirror umbrellas and opened them with a clatter.
The same is true for Partridge Whistle.
Although the original Seven-Star Formation has been discontinued, the three of them have practiced the Sancai Formation for many years and have almost reached the point of proficiency.
With the phoenix coffin as the center.
The three people quickly stepped on the star position, the mirror umbrellas in their hands fluttered, and the forty-nine bronze mirrors embedded underneath were even more dim.
Although there were only three people, the moment they took their positions, there was a feeling of countless grass shields stacked on top of each other, protecting the surroundings airtight.
"Luofu!"
See this situation.
Chen Yulou couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Compared with that day at Pingshan, the Sancai Formation now activated by spiritual energy was obviously more powerful than before.
My mind moved.
In an instant, a stream of light shot into the sky from the tomb below and fell on Chen Yulou's shoulder.
“Fire!”
There is no fire in the world as amazing as Phoenix Fire.
How could Nu Qingji, who had already been connected with him, not understand?
Immediately spread its wings and hovered above the phoenix coffin, opening its mouth to cry. The sound was not as powerful as before, but wisps of invisible fire fell like rain.
Hoot——
Fire started with the sound.
In an instant.
The wooden coffin burst into flames and fell into a sea of flames.
After noticing the dangerous corpse moths, they immediately fled in all directions, but... the phoenix was bathed in fire and Nirvana, and the fire in its blood was as strong as yang, capable of restraining all evil spirits in the world.
Corpse moths are born by swallowing the blood of corpses.
The aura of death is extremely evil.
It was almost instantly turned into a pile of ashes by the flames. Occasionally, a few corpse moths escaped, but the mirror light was equally blazing and there was no escape at all.
Just out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den.
The corpse energy was directly melted by the light.
They all fell to the ground with shrill screams.
See this scene.
Partridge Whistle couldn’t help but feel fascinated.
With such a phoenix on the side, I'm afraid... I can explore the bottomless ghost cave next to the ancestral land, right?
Compared to them.
The Xiling group of thieves who were far away from the tomb at the bottom of the tomb across the first floor felt the waves of fire billowing above their heads, and they were also frightened at this moment.
I don’t know how long it will take.
The phoenix coffin was finally burned.
A corpse could be faintly seen among the ashes, and only clusters of insect eggs were left in the abdomen. The sight of it made the whole group feel cold.
For a while.
I have a new understanding of Chen Yulou’s decisiveness.
Not burning with fire.
Once the eggs hatch, I don’t know how many people will die. ,
"Brother Chen..."
Partridge Whistle was still frightened, put away his umbrella, and was about to speak.
But the sentence is not finished yet.
I saw Chen Yulou looking up at the top of the coffin room and pointing at him silently.
He subconsciously raised his head.
Then.
He saw a picture that he would never forget.
There is a palace built in the fairy mountain where the clouds and rainbow light emerge in the deep pool.
There is a jade bead as big as a mountain and shaped like an eyeball enshrined in the hall. Its brilliance flows and its golden light shines.
"Muchen Bead..."
