The people outside the coffin included touching gold, moving mountains and unloading mountains.
He has the inheritance of three sects.
Even Yang Fang, who has the least experience, has been in the martial arts world for six or seven years. He has opened coffins and fought countless people upside down. There are at least dozens of rigor mortis suppressed by the magic whip.
so.
Although the gaze in the depth of the crack flashed past.
But it was still keenly captured by several people in an instant.
"Zongzi?"
Yang Fang raised the corner of his mouth, but there was some unknown expectation in his tone.
I saw many ancient corpses along the way.
But it's either mummy or bones.
Except for the current season, the Black Desert is under extreme heat and drought for most of the year, so even if it is close to places with dragon veins such as Kunlun and Tianshan, the possibility of rigor mortis is very slim.
So, I suddenly saw a rice dumpling.
For him, it was definitely an unexpected surprise.
"Be careful."
Seeing him like this, Partridge Whistle couldn't help but frown slightly.
He has always acted calmly and steadily.
The same goes for the old foreigners brought out.
Even the youngest flower spirit occasionally has the temperament of a girl, but she never dares to be careless in the fight under the tomb.
After reminding him, he looked at his junior brother.
"Here, help me."
"Let's open the coffin and take a look first."
Naturally, the old foreigner would not refuse. He immediately put away his mirror umbrella and hung the wind lantern on the stone beam beside him.
"I'm coming too."
"I've been waiting to open the coffin for a long time. I want to see if this woman is a human being, a ghost, or a real demon crawling out of the ground?"
Yang Fang rubbed his hands, eager to try.
As for Kunlun, although he didn't say a word from beginning to end, his eyes had already fallen on the iron chains wrapped around the coffin, thinking about how to open it?
For several people's actions.
Chen Yulou did not stop him, but looked at the iron chains with the help of the sky lantern above his head and the surrounding firelight.
Seven in total.
It's as thick as a human arm.
Go around and lock the giant coffin.
This scene was so familiar that it reminded him of the underground palace of King Xian in Zhelong Mountain at a glance.
The three strange coffins symbolize the shadow bones of the Three Hells of the King, and the most astonishing one among them is the same as the giant bronze coffin.
The body is locked with iron chains and a bronze mirror is hung on the head.
'The corpse coffin! '
But it's not unexpected to appear in King Xian's tomb. After all, the Shadow Bones of the Three Hells are for people who were extremely evil during their lifetimes and whose resentment was overwhelming.
And the exquisite queen...
Suppressed thirty-six countries.
The upper part can communicate with the snake god, and the lower part can lead to the imaginary space with a wave of the hand.
For such a high-ranking daughter of the snake god, her death was not considered a violent death, because the mountain was a mausoleum and the tree was covered with trees. It was in line with her status to kill prisoners alive and be buried with her in a golden mountain.
There are still seven chains to lock the coffin.
It's too weird.
Thinking of this, Chen Yulou approached the outside of the coffin, grabbed one of the iron chains, and flicked it with his finger.
Smoke and dust suddenly appeared on the chain.
Even though thousands of years have passed, the iron chain still shows no signs of rust and corrosion in such a humid and dark environment.
The iron buckles the size of a baby's hand are locked tightly.
At this moment, he was shot.
A clear clang sounded back and forth.
Thick dust fell, and soon, Taoist talisman-like text symbols appeared in sight.
On the inside of the iron buckle and copper ring, there were clearly countless words carved on it.
It is slightly different from the surrounding ghost cave texts.
It seemed to be closer to the Qilin text on the ancient map they obtained before.
"This is…"
Looking at the ancient bronze inscriptions and the surrounding ghost cave sutras.
Chen Yulou suddenly thought of a bold possibility in his mind.
The emperors of the Han Dynasty longed for immortality, so from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, alchemists from the six countries were rampant. Until the Song and Ming Dynasties, everyone from the emperor to the common people had the dream of a Taoist Lord, a true immortal, and eternal life.
And in the rumors.
Seven days after death, the ghost returns to the earth.
Therefore, in order to achieve resurrection from the dead within this time, the ancients used all their means.
Now I am looking at these many cryptic ancient symbols.
It seems more like resurrecting souls than suppressing the undead.
"Slow down, push the coffin in."
Just as he hesitated, the sound of the partridge whistle came again.
Because of those iron chains, the coffin cannot be opened laterally, so it can only be pushed from the front using the ship coffin method.
"good."
Several people nodded.
No one said anything, they just suppressed their inner uneasiness and anticipation, silently counting one, two, three, and then exerting force at the same time.
The entire coffin body is made of an astonishingly large piece of sacred tree. There are almost no traces of man-made modifications, and the original appearance is largely preserved.
Even the bark is almost preserved.
If it weren't for that crack, it would be almost difficult to find the seam between the coffin lid and the body.
Under the firelight, the coffin was covered with golden light.
It is indeed the sacred tree that even the First Emperor was searching for.
Even though thousands of years have passed and dead people have been buried in it, the fragrance of the wood is still astonishingly strong.
Click—
As several people exerted their strength.
The coffin lid quickly slid deeper into the cave.
When a dark and deep hole was revealed at the head of the coffin, the group of people stopped and stepped back with a tacit understanding.
In order to prevent the accumulated corpse energy in the coffin from rushing out.
If it is inhaled into the body, it will cause a lot of trouble.
but…
To the surprise of several people.
There wasn't much of a pungent smell inside the coffin.
It seems that there is no corpse buried in the coffin.
But how is this possible? They saw that eerie look before.
Seeing that there was no movement in the coffin, Partridge Whistle tightened the black scarf on his face, opened his umbrella, and quickly approached the head of the coffin in a flash.
Taking advantage of the surrounding firelight, he quickly glanced inside the coffin.
Just this one look.
The expression on his face suddenly froze, and a rare look of disbelief appeared in his deep eyes.
"Senior brother?"
Sensing something strange about him, the old foreigner was worried that something had happened and couldn't help but shout in a low voice.
Previously on the cliff above my head.
It was clear that the corpse flower had been cut off and then ignited out of thin air. The senior brother was stunned and actually tried to go forward and extinguish the flames.
That scene made him think of himself.
Went down with Yang Fang earlier.
He also seemed to have hit something evil invisibly. According to what Yang Fang said, his eyes were red at the time and he looked like he was about to kill someone.
But...
He recalled it carefully afterwards.
The old foreigner had no memory of his own changes.
It was as if a pair of invisible hands were peeling away that memory fragment from his mind.
This place is too evil to tolerate any sloppiness.
He was also worried that if it was not only the corpse flower that affected their minds, but also the coffin, and the senior brother stepped forward rashly, he would fall into a trap.
"nothing…"
Good thing.
He finished speaking.
Partridge Whistle seemed to be waking up from a dream, his eyes regained their former clarity, but the shock and wonder between his brows could not be concealed at all.
"Shou Yang, what exactly is it?"
Yang Fang was outspoken and couldn't hide things at all. Seeing his face changing one after another, as if he had seen a ghost, he couldn't hold back his curiosity.
He actually has something else to say.
Are the rumors about those murals we saw along the way true?
What lies in the coffin of the sacred tree is not a human being, but a monster.
But in front of Chen Yulou, he only dared to criticize these words, and did not dare to ask them.
He said this together.
Kunlun and the old foreigner next to him also looked over.
Obviously he is also full of curiosity about what is in the coffin.
"Living corpse..."
Partridge Whistle sighed secretly.
But then, he frowned again, seeming unsure.
"Or the living dead." "What?"
After knowing him for so long, this was the first time Yang Fang heard such a confusing answer from him.
You know, although there is only one word difference between living corpse and living dead, their meanings are completely different.
Living corpses refer to dead corpses that are as alive as life.
The living dead refers to living people who are like dead people.
If it was the former, they could still accept it. After all, no one had seen a few living corpses in Dao Dou Jianghu for so many years.
Especially the land of dragon veins and the feng shui treasure cave.
Nourished by the dragon's energy, the earth's energy is accumulated, and the corpse does not decay after death, just like it was before death.
But if it's the latter.
That would be too scary.
Queen Jingjue was a character from what era?
It is not difficult to infer from the murals along the way that the Jingjue Kingdom probably existed during the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, at least a thousand years ago.
Even the legendary Peng Zu only lived eight hundred years.
A woman who has lived for thousands of years.
What is it if it's not a monster?
"No...let me take a look."
Yang Fang wanted to ask something else, but he swallowed the words when he reached his lips.
There are so many of them here, and there are several practitioners entering the country alone.
So what if he is a demon?
What's more, the master taught him the magic whip, which can only beat monsters, monsters and ghosts.
He strode around the coffin body and approached the head of the coffin. He was tall and majestic, even though the huge coffin was lying across the stone beam, it was almost as tall as a person.
But when he poked his head for a moment, his sight fell deep inside the coffin.
I saw a woman wearing jade clothes with long hair like a waterfall, lying flat in the coffin.
Her face was covered with a black mask, and her appearance could not be clearly seen, but judging from her face shape, figure, and slightly exposed gooseneck, she was undoubtedly a beautiful woman.
It seems to be worthy of the title of the most beautiful woman in the Western Region.
But Yang Fang didn't dare to have any idea.
Not only did the corpse of an ancient man who had been dead for thousands of years show no signs of decay, he could not even detect a trace of death.
Something is clearly wrong.
"Is this Queen Jingjue?"
While he was sizing up secretly, a low voice suddenly came from behind his ears. Yang Fang turned around suddenly and realized that Kunlun and the old foreigner were also surrounding him.
He was staring at the female corpse in the coffin, his face full of surprise.
Is it no wonder that with the ability of a partridge whistle, it is difficult to tell whether there is a living person or a dead body in the coffin?
"The Kunlun sacred tree will not rot when buried. It turns out to be true."
Before coming here, Chen Yulou had mentioned this legend when he heard about the sacred tree mentioned by Oona.
It wasn't until this moment that they finally saw it.
"I heard that people do not decay after death, and that they can transcend reincarnation and come back to life..."
Yang Fang suddenly remembered a rumor that his master had told many years ago.
Looking at the coffin queen at this moment, I couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"Shopkeeper Chen, is this woman right?"
He only spoke half of his words, but everyone present could hear his subtext.
"It's uncomfortable to be covered with water, let alone a dead person?"
It's different from their confusion.
From beginning to end, Chen Yulou looked calm.
Hearing Yang Fang's words now, he even sneered.
If immortality was really that easy, it would still be the Qin Dynasty, or even the era when Xia Yu and Shang Tang ruled the world.
It's been so long since I've been in this world.
There was only one person who made him think that he might have found a clue, and that was King Wen who acted in the Book of Changes.
He was also the one who left behind three dragon bones.
The dragon and snake sting, the phoenix mingling in Qishan, and the flying bear enter the dream.
He should have glimpsed a glimpse of the snake god's eternal power from the Muchen Bead.
As for Lu Zu, who practiced Taoism at Kuanglu Mountain, and the Qingchi Taoist who left behind the legacy and foundation work of Xuan Dao at the foot of Pingshan Mountain.
The theory of ascending to immortality is even more mysterious.
Not to mention, offering sacrifice to the king, what a means.
The water dragon's halo is the mausoleum, the ten thousand-year-old Zhixian is the coffin, and the Muchen Bead is the guide, but they cannot achieve immortality.
Queen Jingjue has never even obtained the Muchen Bead, so how can she do it?
The reason why he can die without decaying is that he is not living dead. He just relies on the endless spiritual energy in the Kunlun Sacred Tree to maintain his corpse.
There is simply a huge gap between immortality and resurrection.
"Since he is a dead person."
"Then what are you afraid of?"
With his words, Yang Fang calmed down.
This woman used those murals to play tricks on her and was able to scare those foolish men and women, but how could she scare them away just by relying on this?
Just take this opportunity.
Take off the mask from her face.
Take a good look and see if she is a human or a ghost.
However, Yang Fang was quite cautious. He was worried that there might be poison on the body, or there might be a trap inside the coffin, so he didn't act hastily. Instead, he borrowed a vagindetecting claw from an old foreigner.
"this…"
Get started when you see him.
The old foreigner was confused and subconsciously glanced at his senior brother and Chen Yulou.
However, I saw that the two people did not stop them.
Then he opened his mirror umbrella and placed it in front of Yang Fang, just in case.
Others were staring intently inside the coffin.
Yang Fang moved very quickly. He hooked the corner of the mask with his vaginal claws and lifted it hard. He heard a click, and the mask of unknown material flew out and hit the coffin wall before it bounced back and landed on the coffin wall. In the shadow of the coffin.
call-
A moment.
The atmosphere in the entire cave became solemn.
Everyone held their breath subconsciously, as if they were afraid of disturbing something.
Chen Yulou's breath was confused for a moment, but he returned to normal in an instant. In addition, everyone else's attention was on Queen Jingjue, so no one noticed anything unusual about him.
Light and shadow intersect.
A delicate face appeared in everyone's sight.
She was a woman in her thirties, with a high nose, deep eyes, beautiful eyebrows, and fair skin. To be precise, she was pale and sickly.
Other than that, there is almost no difference from a living person.
She doesn't have many gold and jade decorations on her body.
There is only a pendant embedded in the forehead.
It looked like...a closed eye.
This is a typical appearance of a woman from the Western Regions.
But the moment they saw her clearly, everyone's expressions suddenly became strange.
Although Queen Jingjue's eyes were tightly closed, she seemed to be carved from the same mold as Oona.
"how come?"
"Oona???"
The heartbeats of the group were thundering. Kunlun and the old foreigner even subconsciously looked up at the cliff above their heads, but Oona, who stayed on top with a few guys, was clearly still where she was.
Even at this moment, he was still looking down curiously.
"No, it seems like we have been pulled into an illusion again."
"This woman is indeed a monster. She has clearly fallen under her spell!"
Almost subconsciously.
The old foreigner's expression changed, and he thought of everything he and his senior brother, Partridge Post, had encountered before.
Before opening the coffin, he had speculated whether the evil spell would be caused by the corpse flower and the Queen Jingjue at the same time.
Now he looked at the face that looked exactly like Oona.
It simply verified his guess perfectly.
"etc…"
Seeing that the old foreigner was about to take the mirror umbrella, Yang Fang also had a murderous look on his face.
Chen Yulou suddenly spoke up.
"Shopkeeper Chen?"
The two of them looked stunned and subconsciously looked at Chen Yulou.
"This witch is too evil. She has been dead for thousands of years without stopping. It would be better to burn her with a fire."
Listen to a few people.
Chen Yulou didn't explain much. He just leaned down, reached into the coffin, and took off the jade pendant from the queen's forehead like lightning.
That's not a jade pendant at all.
Instead, it is a reduced version of a jade eyeball.
And the moment he took off his jade eyes.
Everyone felt their eyes flicker.
When I looked down again.
Deep in the coffin, the delicate face of Queen Jingjue aged rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The wrinkles are dense, the cheeks are deeply sunken, the eyes are widened, and the cheeks become pointed and elongated.
There is no trace of the delicate beauty of a woman.
Ugly and hideous, like a snake or scorpion.
This sudden change shocked everyone so much that they were almost speechless.
Yang Fang even rubbed his eyes vigorously a few times.
I thought I was hallucinating.
"This damn...black snake turned into a spirit?" (End of Chapter)
