Chapter 952 Opening the Coffin
After so many twists and turns, everyone finally arrived at the underground palace and saw this huge, shining golden brass coffin.
Ming brass coffin!
All the monks present had bright eyes, Hui Erye and the others were breathing a little fast, and even Mo Hua's eyes lit up.
Not to mention anything else, this huge third-grade Ming brass coffin alone is probably worth a lot of spiritual stones.
"It's indeed a big funeral!" Mr. Hui's eyes were excited.
At the same time, there was a blue-gray flash in his eyes, as if some evil thoughts were gradually growing like maggots.
And no one noticed it.
Except for ink paintings.
Mo Hua frowned slightly.
Second Master Hui was bitten by the corpse ghost, but nothing happened to him during the journey before. Only now, after seeing the bright brass coffin, evil thoughts began to breed.
This means that the stimulation, growth and growth of evil thoughts require people’s “desires”?
When people have desires and greed arise in their hearts, evil thoughts will take advantage of them and continue to breed?
The Ming Dynasty brass coffin inspired the second master Hui's desire. Correspondingly, Master Hui's Taoist heart also began to loosen, cracks formed, and was invaded by external evil?
Mo Hua silently kept this in mind.
After finding the coffin, everyone no longer hesitated and walked along the nearby stone corridor towards the bright brass coffin in the huge pit in the distance.
Generally speaking, the deeper into the tomb, the more dangers there are, and towards the end, the more dangerous it is.
Therefore, along the way, everyone became more and more careful, and the atmosphere was not released.
But unexpectedly, the depths of this underground palace were extremely quiet, without any mechanisms or corpse-like monsters lurking.
In this way, everyone went smoothly and came to the edge of the pit.
The huge bright brass coffin is now in front of you.
Look at this gorgeous, bright coffin.
Not to mention Second Master Hui, even Mo Hua himself felt a little hot in his heart.
He really wants to know what is hidden in such a large and luxurious copper coffin, and how many treasures there are...
In the crowd, the old man in black robe said:
"Second Master Hui, please open the coffin."
"No hurry, let me take a look first." Second Master Hui said.
A sharpened knife must be used to chop firewood, and the closer you get to the end, the more cautious you must be.
Second Master Hui walked half way around the pit, looking at the copper coffin from all directions and angles. But the more he looked at it, the more serious the expression on his face became, and in the end it became even more gloomy.
"The brass has aged for a long time, and the outside is bright and dark red and yellow. The coffin gaps are damp and the outer lines are out of shape... This is a sign that the Yin energy is too strong and seeps outward. The copper coffin cannot be sealed and becomes embroidered with blood... "
"I'm afraid there's something big in this coffin..."
"Big thing?" Mo Hua was startled.
"Zombies or sneaky evil things..." Mr. Hui said.
Shitou looked around, frowned and said, "No wonder, there are no traps in the depths of the underground palace. It turns out that the most dangerous thing is the coffin itself."
"What now?" Shitou asked.
"What else can we do? It's impossible to go back home," Mouse said. "As I said before, wealth can only be found in danger. Second Master, please open the coffin."
"Yeah." Second Master Hui nodded.
He has been in this business for so many years and is also a veteran of tomb robbing. He has seen a lot of wind and waves.
At this point, even if there was something really big hidden in the coffin, he would not give up without opening the coffin and taking a look.
What's more, according to these guests, the coffin's background is not trivial.
"Leave the matter of opening the coffin to Master Hui." The old man in black robe said in a hoarse voice.
"It's natural," Mr. Hui nodded, "This is what we eat, but this coffin is too big. We are short of manpower and need a few distinguished guests to help."
The old man in black robe nodded.
So Mr. Hui prepared to open the coffin.
Before opening the coffin, he first took out a two-foot-tall, dark Ksitigarbha statue from the storage bag and placed it on the ground.
The face of the Ksitigarbha statue is strange and gloomy.
On the left and right sides, there are eight words written: "Life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven".
Second Master Hui took out three sticks of incense and placed them in front of the statue. He held a glass of rice wine and kowtowed:
"Master Ksitigarbha bless you, open the coffin and make a fortune. There are no taboos."
After finishing speaking, sprinkle the rice wine on the ground.
When Mo Hua saw the Ksitigarbha statue, his pupils trembled slightly. Before he could take a closer look, Master Hui had already finished worshiping and put the Ksitigarbha statue away again.
After collecting it, he officially started to open the coffin.
But when it comes to opening the coffin, Mo Hua cannot help.
This copper coffin is a third-grade object, and the formations and mechanisms on it are also third-grade. This is beyond the scope of his abilities as a foundation-building monk and a second-grade formation master.
Even if he doesn't know the second-grade ground formation, he can still learn it and sell it.
But the third-level formations, which involve more profound formation principles, are really not something he can learn at this stage.
Therefore, while everyone was busy, Mo Hua could only find a step in the corridor to sit on the edge of the pit, watching from a distance as Mr. Hui and others opened the coffin.
Second Master Hui took out the third-grade array plate and placed it on the four corners of the copper coffin.
This formation disk seems to be passed down from ancestors. The formations on it cannot be seen through the ink paintings for the time being, but it is expected to be used to suppress evil spirits and bind corpses.
In addition, there are yellow talismans.
This yellow talisman is not a paper talisman, but a jade talisman made of topaz, which was placed on the copper coffin by Mr. Hui Erye.
There was chicken blood wine poured around.
This chicken blood, I don’t know what kind of spiritual beast it is, has masculine blood, and is poured around the copper coffin. It seems to be used to dispel yin and turn evil into evil.
There are also some ink lines, spiritual rice water...
Anyway, there are a lot of miscellaneous things and the process is cumbersome.
Mo Hua looked a little dazzled, and at the same time he sighed in his heart, all the monastic professions are different, and Hui Erye and others can eat this bowl of rice because they really have some family knowledge and ability.
No wonder those four black-robed monks would find Mr. Hui and others to rob the tomb and open the coffin.
Mo Hua remembered all the methods of Master Hui in his heart.
Although he can't understand it yet, it's always right to remember it first.
Too many skills don't overwhelm the body.
In the future, if I can get the relevant tomb inheritance, do more research, go down to the tomb, dig the grave, open the coffin, and find some treasures, it seems good.
About half an hour later, Second Master Hui made the arrangements.
There are still some chores to be done later, which are done by stones and rats.
Second Master Hui came to Mo Hua and warned: "Little brother, it will be dangerous to open the coffin later. You must not go down."
"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded repeatedly.
Needless to say, he knew the danger.
Dangerous things must be done by others first.
Seeing that Mo Hua knew the benefits, Mr. Hui nodded and turned to leave, but suddenly thought of something again. He hesitated for a moment and asked Mo Hua:
"Little brother, did the mouse make things difficult for you in the fork in the road?"
The thought of Mo Hua suddenly moved in his heart.
Second Master Hui actually saw what happened in the fork in the road. He knew that the man named Mouse was chasing him, but he didn't say it clearly before.
These people are indeed human beings.
In this case...
Mo Hua's mind changed slightly, and then his face became a little reluctant, "No..."
Second Master Hui said pleasantly: "It's okay, you don't have to be afraid. If anything happens, just tell me."
The ink painting still looked like he was hesitant to speak.
When Second Master Hui saw it, he had a guess in his mind and said, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, the mouse won't dare to embarrass you."
Mo Hua then gained some confidence and whispered: "He... asked me for something."
"You want something?" Second Master Hui was slightly startled, "What is it?"
Mo Hua looked into the distance and saw that the mouse was far away, so he whispered:
"Touch the golden talisman..."
Second Master Hui frowned and remained silent.
Mo Hua's eyes flashed slightly. From Hui Er's expression, he could probably infer that Hui Er also knew that Mr. Pi had such a gold-touching talisman.
But he may not know what touching the golden talisman actually means, otherwise he would not be so calm.
Even if he looks calm, at least there will be some fluctuations in his soul.
Generally, the fluctuations in a monk's soul cannot escape Mo Hua's perception.
Second Master Hui thought for a moment, looked at the ink painting, and asked, "Do you have this gold-touching talisman in your hand?"
Mo Hua shook his head.
"Tell me the truth, I won't blame you." Mr. Hui said.
Mo Hua still shook his head, "I really don't know what the golden talisman is."
Second Master Hui frowned, "If it's not in your hands, why would the mouse chase you?"
Mo Hua also had a "puzzling" look on his face, "I don't know... I don't even know what the golden talisman looks like..."
"Second Master," Mo Hua looked a little curious and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what this golden talisman looks like?"
Second Master Hui was silent for a moment and nodded, "This golden talisman is made from the claws of a strange beast that crosses mountains. The tip is as transparent as jade, and the back end is inlaid with gold and silver. It looks simple..."
Before Mr. Hui finished speaking, Mo Hua's expression changed, as if he was startled, and then he forced himself to calm down, his eyes flickering a little.
How could he possibly deceive Second Master Hui with his appearance.
Second Master Hui said, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Mo Hua shook his head.
"Tell me." Mr. Hui's tone was gentle, but his expression was a little solemn.
"I..." Mo Hua hesitated for a long time, then muttered, "I seem to have seen this gold-touching talisman before..."
Second Master Hui's expression changed slightly, "Have you really seen it?"
"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded.
"Where?"
"Just..." Mo Hua lowered his voice, "Just on him..."
"On him?" Second Master Hui frowned, "On the mouse?"
"Yeah," Mo Hua lowered his voice and said in disbelief:
"That day, when he took Mr. Pi's storage bag away from me, I saw him secretly holding something like a tooth in his hand."
"I don't know what this is, and I don't dare to say it."
"Later, he insisted that I stole some 'golden talisman'..."
"only……"
Mo Hua frowned more and more, with a puzzled look on his face, "This 'golden talisman' is clearly in his hand, why did he insist on saying that I took it?"
Second Master Hui's face became increasingly ugly.
After being in this business for so long, how could he not understand?
Mouse is calling the thief to catch the thief and frame the fault, in order to clear himself of suspicion so that he can take the gold-touching talisman as his own.
He even wanted to kill Mo Hua to silence him.
In this way, no one will ever know that the golden talisman is in his hand.
It's just that when he was in the fork in the road and wanted to silence Mo Hua while everyone was separated, he was hit by himself, so Mo Zi had to stop temporarily and threatened Mo Hua not to tell him.
Based on Mo Hua's few words and his many years of experience in the world of cultivation, Hui Erye quickly restored the cause and effect of this incident in his mind.
Touch the golden talisman...
"Is this gold-touching talisman really so important? It's worth the effort of the rat to hide it from me and try to take it for himself..."
The eyes of Mr. Hui Er became colder and colder.
Mo Hua whispered: "Mr. Hui..."
Mr. Hui collected his thoughts, glanced at Mo Hua, and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, he won't dare to do anything to you with me here."
Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Hui Er."
Mr. Hui Er smiled kindly at Mo Hua, then turned and left.
But after a few steps, the smile on his face disappeared, his face became gloomy, and his eyes gradually became greedy.
Mo Hua saw the slowly growing blue-gray evil thoughts above Mr. Hui Er's head, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
...
After that, everyone was still preparing to open the coffin.
After one stick of incense, everything was ready.
In the deep pit, in front of the bright brass coffin.
Mr. Hui Er drank a mouthful of bright red chicken blood wine, strengthened his courage, drove away the evil spirit, and said in a deep voice: "Open the coffin."
As soon as the voice fell, the yin energy around him became heavier.
Mr. Hui Er started the formation, drew the ink line, and touched his forehead with spiritual rice water to activate the yellow jade blood pattern talisman on the copper coffin.
A layer of light shield rose up dimly, covering everyone and the copper coffin together.
On the light shield, there were words similar to Taoist talismans, which lit up one by one.
This kind of words, like a formation but not a formation, like a talisman but not a talisman, like a motto, contains an inexplicable power, suppressing the copper coffin.
"Open the nails!" Mr. Hui Er said again.
Shitou, the other two black-robed men, and the black-robed old man, a total of four people, immediately jumped onto the copper coffin, occupied the four corners, pried open the lock with jade, poured with aqua regia, and then activated the power of the golden elixir to forcibly pull out the four coffin nails at the four corners of the copper coffin.
Without the coffin nails, the bright yellow brass coffin had no seal.
The yin and death in the coffin began to seep out.
Everyone present felt uneasy. Even Mo Hua, who was far away, felt a slight chill and a layer of hair stood up on his body.
Cold sweat broke out on the palms of Mr. Hui Er, but he was still very alert and said in a deep voice:
"Open!"
Then the four of them no longer hesitated and slowly opened the copper coffin.
A strong stench of decay came out instantly, and the yin energy spread like frost. The whole deep pit seemed to have become an ice cellar in the coldest days of winter, and it was chilling to the bone.
Mr. Hui Er endured the palpitations and looked into the coffin, then his pupils trembled and he couldn't speak.
The other few people looked into the coffin and fell silent.
Mo Hua, who was far away, only felt the yin energy creeping in, and then suddenly it was strangely quiet. He was curious and looked out.
He couldn't see clearly from a distance.
So he could only climb to the top of the nearby corridor, looking down from a high place, and then look into the coffin. After this look, Mo Hua's expression changed and he felt nauseous.
A pile of corpses were buried in the dignified and luxurious copper coffin.
These corpses were dirty and rotten, with piled up limbs, like discarded mud, piled up in the luxurious brass coffin.
It was shocking to see.
So much so that everyone didn't know what to say for a moment.
Mr. Hui Er's face was extremely ugly for a moment. He turned his head and looked at the black-robed monks, and said coldly:
"Everyone, is this the tomb of the Great Wilderness Royal Family you are talking about?"
As far as the eye can see, there is no treasure in the tomb, all of which are a pile of deformed and rotten corpses.
Several black-robed monks looked calm, but they didn't speak.
The atmosphere was a little weird for a while.
At this moment, Mo Hua's pupils trembled.
He actually felt a trace of... the breath of Taoism from these corpses, from the dense death and yin.
"Be careful!" Mo Hua shouted.
Before the voice fell, the brass coffin trembled.
The rotting corpses, deformed limbs, and muddy flesh trembled slightly, then gradually squirmed, twisted, and gathered in the middle. The flesh and blood weaved together and finally formed a huge "bloody corpse statue".
With a terrifying roar, a powerful, twisted breath shook the surroundings.
Everyone's face changed.
