Chapter 56: Cannot escape

I thought to myself, "These people are really chaotic, without any tide of gold-touching. They are similar to those Xidan columns formed by alleys. They secretly say that the good or bad luck is uncertain, so how can they stop just by saying that they are overdrawing?" But seeing that they are indeed overdrawing, they have to let everyone breathe a little.

I asked Shirley Yang, "Jiu Death Jingling Jia" had torn open the Lingxing Hall at the bottom of the Coffin Mountain. It is estimated that this situation is also happening around him. How long can this "Coffin Mountain" buried deep underground exist?

Shirley Yang said: "I can't guess that Jingling's bronze armor may crush the mountains at any time, and then both jade and stones will inevitably be burned. This devastating disaster may happen in the next second, and may have to be delayed for an hour or two, but there will definitely not be too much time left for us."

Master Sun Jiu seemed to have put his life and death aside, and had no concern at all about how to escape from the Coffin Mountain. He suddenly asked us: "Did you see clearly...what exactly came out of the corpse of the earth immortal?"

At that time, the ground crack occurred in the tomb. Feng Shigu was sucked away all his blood marrow and brain by Jingling Armor. However, before the firelight underground was extinguished, everyone saw a black shadow drilling out of Feng Shigu's mouth, as if he was covered in moldy corpse hair, but he couldn't see the specific appearance clearly.

However, one thing is certain that the thing is not afraid of water and fire. It can still act when the "Nine Death Jingling Armor" braces the blood-sucking and scraping marrow-squeezing and marrow-squeezing the body. Except for the Daluo Golden Immortal, who can be unscathed in the "Sword Mountain, Sea of ​​Fire"? Could it be that Feng Shigu's true energy came out of the shell and turned into an immortal?

Yaomeier and Sun Jiuye believed it deeply. Although Fatty and I didn't want to believe it, we couldn't even find a reason to convince ourselves. Only Shirley Yang did not express his opinion.

Among the five of us, Shirley Yang and Sun Jiuye are the most knowledgeable, but one of these two people is a theist, and the other is full of superstitious thoughts. At this point, I have to force Shirley Yang and Sun Jiuye to try to analyze the situation in the Dixian Village as objectively as possible. Are there any gods in the world?

Master Sun Jiu sighed and said, "There is nothing in the world. Everything is absolutely absolutely true. Feng Shigu's corpse is not burned when it encounters fire. It can still move after being nailed by so many copper thorns. Physical phenomena such as metal, wood, water, fire and earth have completely lost their effect on it. What does this mean? It can only mean that it is a corpse immortal that exceeds the five elements."

Shirley Yang had different opinions: "There must be gods in the world, even if they only exist in spiritual beliefs. As for whether the corpse immortal exists..., I think the so-called corpse immortal may be just an ancient description of some supernatural phenomena. Although the Ming Dynasty has only been around for hundreds of years, it was still popular in the world to burn elixirs and refine medicines in order to survive forever. Perhaps Guanshan Taibao discovered some special things in the Coffin Mountain, which can make people not rot or stagnate after death, so they called it a corpse immortal. For example, it is like the eyes of ancient people, the celestial dogs in the eyes of ancient people, which are called lunar eclipse by modern people. However, regardless of ancient and modern times, people at that time thought they had mastered the mystery of this astronomical phenomenon. This is the limitation of the times. In fact, even at the rapid development of contemporary science, in-depth exploration of the universe and the world is very small."

After hearing this, Master Sun Jiu nodded and said, "The existence of the corpse immortal, perhaps as Miss Yang said, is similar to the mysterious phenomenon of the heavenly dog ​​eating the moon in the eyes of ancient people, but we still do not understand the truth, and it is more likely that the mystery of the ancient corpse becoming an immortal will never be revealed. Moreover, due to Feng Shigu's actions, this kind of thing does appear in the coffin mountain now. If the corpse immortal escapes from this underground world, it is hard to say how much harm it will cause. In short, we still have to find a way to completely remove it before the mountain collapses and breaks."

The fat man interrupted and said, "Since the old landlord has practiced so hard that it is not invasive to water and fire, what other tricks can we do? We can't chew it up and eat it in one bite, right? According to Fat Master, this is not that we don't want to do this job, but that we really can't do it. It's better to roll the light-up tool casually, and take advantage of the fact that our legs and feet can still be moved, and run away to run away."

Master Sun Jiu snorted coldly and said, "Fatty Wang, are you still dreaming? You are not seeing the power of Jiushen Jinglingjia. I have said repeatedly before that as long as this coffin mountain is finished, we can't even keep the whole body, and we still hope to escape. Why do we listen to my advice? Whether a person's life is valuable does not depend on the length of his life, but on what he has done in this life..."

Before Master Sun Jiu finished speaking, the fat man became annoyed and cursed: "Let's goofy with your ancestor Feng's family. The old landlord leader Feng Shigu can't even burn it. If you have the plant, go down and practice with it with a brick and kitchen knife. Don't let everyone take the cushion for you. Anyway, Fat man has to escape if he lives or dies. We are the glorious proletariat, and we can't die in the coffin mountain for the landlord to be a burial object."

Seeing that the fat man and Master Sun Jiu were about to squat, the youngest girl quickly dissuaded them, but she could not persuade them. Shirley Yang quickly pushed me behind her. I was thinking about how to overcome the various difficulties I was facing. After she reminded her, she immediately turned around and said to everyone: "I've been resting again, right? Don't practice talking. Listen to me first. I saw that what happened in the coffin mountain has far exceeded our previous expectations. The terrain in the Pangu vein is more complicated than the maze. So far, I can't think of any way to escape from the Dixian Village. As for wanting to get rid of the corpse immortals in the ancient tomb, I'm even more powerless. Now I can only take one step at a time. There is probably Feng Shigu's ulterior motive hidden secret in this secret passage. Everyone takes a breath, and then walks along this secret passage to see if they can find a way to escape."

I finally convinced everyone that there was no other way in this situation, and no one could come up with any tricks. It can be said that we have no choice at the moment, and only this secret passage is the last route of action. Whether it is a life or a dead end, we have to take five lives to know the result.

It is useless to worry about doing things on the spot. As the saying goes, "I want to eat spicy food and plant spicy seedlings, and I want to eat carp to walk the Yangtze River." If I want to escape, maybe I can only dig out the real secret buried in the coffin mountain, but time goes by minute by minute. Because the "Jiu Death Jingling Armor" tightly clamps the mountain, landslides and earthquakes occur underground. We rested for a few minutes, and then had to hurry up and continue to explore the deepest part along the secret passage of the earth immortal.

The terrain of this secret passage is not regular, some are open and some are narrow. In this underground secret passage, it seems that there is a shadowless and invisible terrifying force tightly surrounding everyone. Perhaps it is a huge shock coming from the darkness, which makes the people coming in breathe heavily and have to develop a fear of the ruins of the ancients.

The concave wall behind the secretly was filled with ancient bronze statues. You can tell that they were extremely ancient objects, but even Sun Jiuye could not tell which dynasty or cultural background it was. The tall bronze men had even more ferocious faces, all with convex eyes, green faces and teeth, lowered their heads and glared at the secretly passage, as if the Shura evil ghosts had their true form. The bronze men were holding iron weapons in their hands, and their clothes were also very strange, like an ancient leather armor.

There were also some copper beasts under the feet of the bronze man, most of which were beasts such as bears. The giant bears all struggled to get rid of their lives, either their limbs were broken, or their trembling and bowed. Whether they were humans or beasts, their expressions were lifelike, and they could even make people feel that this was a scene of blood flowing into a river when Jin Gang slaughtered the giant bear. The bronze man and the bronze beast were covered with incomplete thick chains and copper rings, like a torture tool that imprisoned prisoners.

I used the "engineering shovel" to knock on the bronze men from a distance. The sound was dull and thick, not like a hollow trap hidden in the trap. Then I felt a little relieved. Everyone followed the secret passage with iron chains on the ground and walked forward for more than a dozen steps. They found a corpse lying across the ground. The dead body was very strange. It seemed that he was a skinny old man with his face disheveled hair and his clothes were torn, almost half naked, and the ribs on his exposed chest were prominent.

Because Coffin Mountain is a spiritual vein that hides wind and water, all the dead in Dixian Village have a face as if they are alive, and all the dead are well preserved and will never form mummies. The corpse in the secret passage is not only locked on thick iron chains, but also shriveled and thin, like a hungry ghost, with hands and feet locked in shackles. As I had expected before, it should be a prisoner imprisoned in the secret passage.

I remember watching a documentary about "World War II". Several scenes in the film are Jews detained in concentration camps by German Nazis. They are all skinny and bone-thin. It can be said that the situation is shocking and even unimaginable - humans can become thinner due to long-term lack of nutritious food. Seeing the body of the prisoner in front of me reminds me of the scene in the war documentary.

But I can't imagine why the Earth Immortal Feng Shigu used such a heavy torture instrument to lock up such a thin person? Who would this prisoner imprisoned in the Earth Immortal Village?

The fat man has always been accustomed to it. He glanced at it and said, "Even people who have never seen Sherlock Holmes can analyze this kind of thing. It must be those who oppose Feng Shigu. As a result, they were all locked in the dark underground, starving to death."

Shirley Yang and Professor Sun said that they did not look like it. Looking at the prisoner's corpse, the clothes looked very strange. They were not like the clothes of the people in the Ming Dynasty, nor were they like the strange outfits of Guanshan Taibao in Dixian Village. They were so secretly imprisoned in the secret passage, and they would never be an ordinary person, but there was no way to judge the identity of the prisoner's corpse.

Everyone was full of suspicion and walked forward a few steps. There were a wide cave room with iron chains in the stone room, and hundreds of corpses were handcuffed on the iron chains, all of which were thin and thin, and many of them were broken limbs and feet, and they were tragic. There were also several bronze beasts in the room, and most of the corpses were locked tightly around one of the tall and ancient copper turtles.

There were countless dead fish with finger-sized weights scattered beside the corpse, shaped like arrows, and had already become dried fish. The countless small fish were all very strange, round and round, with scales all over the body like blades, and all of them were dead fish that remained motionless. The youngest girl was a local mountaineer. She knew that in a river in Qingxi Town, a small fish called "Bantu" grew in a river in Qingxi Town, which was shaped like a loach and had many scales, about an inch long. The mountain people used it to make a hidden weapon. The "Bantu small fish" was dried and then soaked in snake venom. When the dried fish saw the oil, it would immediately expand and collapse. The scales were like a knife, and the throat could be sealed with blood.

Put the dried fish of "blasting small fish" into a bamboo tube for blowing arrows. When using it, apply lard on the front end of the bamboo tube. When it is blown, the small fish can be shot out. It can shoot enemies dozens of steps away. However, although "blasting small fish" is good, it is not easy to catch. Perhaps the dead people in the secret room were slaughtered by people in the past. "blasting small fish"

I was like falling into the fog of five miles. How could there be such a place in the mountain fairy village? It is not like a tomb chamber where living people are buried, nor like a dungeon where prisoners are held. But this secret room is already the end of the secret passage of the earth fairy, with only one entrance to the way out, and there is no way ahead.

The rest of the people were also at a loss. At this moment, they could only speculate that these prisoners who were detained in the secret room of the ancient tomb of Dixian Village were not ordinary slaves and criminals. Shirley Yang Yanming was careful. She soon discovered that there was a tattoo similar to a black sheep on the bodies of all the dead. There was an old man with a beard in the corpse. Seeing that his hair, beard and kimono color, his identity seemed different. I turned forward and found some handwriting in the corpse.

Sun Jiuye said strangely: "It is related to the legend of King Wuyang? Does this mean... these prisoners are not people from Dixian Village. They may be all survivors from the Wuxie period, so why were they captured by Feng Shigu and locked up here?" As he said that, he couldn't wait to squeeze in and watch the handwriting written on the broken clothes.

I lit a candle to illuminate it. Everyone carefully identified the handwriting, which was indeed consistent with Sun Jiuye's guess. It turned out that the corpses in these secret rooms were originally an ancient survivor in the coffin gorge, guarding the secrets of the coffin mountain for generations. When Feng Shigu built the ancient tomb of Dixian Village, he met the descendants of these witches in the coffin mountain and killed many of them. Later, he learned that these people were mastering the astrological and hexagram skills of the Wuxie period, so he secretly detained them, tortured them day and night, forcing them to perform hexagrams and elephants for the earth immortals.

Because the coffin mountain hidden deep underground was a place for sacrificing death during the Wuxie period, countless small coffins containing dead bodies were buried. Over time, under the accumulation of Yin Qi, "corpse pills" were born in the bones of rotten corpses. Anyone who hides corpses and buried after death will rot and become stagnant when they enter the coffin, and after being buried in the soil for a hundred years, they will gradually become like living people. So the witch digs out ancient corpses from the soil to show their supernatural powers.

However, it was later discovered that once the dead bodies were unearthed, they would cause large-scale corpse plague. Because there were countless people and animals, the local witch wind also declined from the second. Therefore, after the death of King Wuyang, "Coffin Mountain" was regarded as a forbidden area. Usually, in the local people, they dare not even mention a word about it easily.

When Feng Shigu was stealing the ancient tomb of the Black Sheep King, he found that the "Black Sheep King" who had lost his head was alive, so he had evil thoughts and knew that there was a Pangu divine vein in the mountains, so he planned to use it to become an immortal. He believed that what happened before was because the ancients did not understand the truth and could not use it well, but instead suffered harm. So he exhausted all his might to build the ancient tomb of the Dixian Village.

However, Feng Shigu was a very suspicious person. In order to be foolproof, he forced the descendants of the witch to deduce the symbols for him. The ancestors of the Feng family dug up hanging coffins in the coffin gorge and stole many dragon bones containing astrological techniques. They also gained some calculus skills from them, but they were all learned after all, and many mysteries could not be taught. After all, they were not as exquisite and extensive as the remaining people of the Wuyang King.

In ancient times, the observation of astrology did not necessarily mean looking up at the stars directly. The more accurate method was to use the bronze turtle shell to make fortunes, because the ancients believed that the pattern of the turtle shell was a direct reaction to the signs of the sky. Although modern science was developed, the exploration of the human spiritual field was not as intuitive as the ancients' understanding. It was difficult to understand the accuracy of many ancient prophecies and revelations. In fact, it was the mystery of the astrology hexagram.

The Earth Immortal Feng Shigu stole several ancient bronze artifacts from Shaanxi, all of which were bronze beasts that recommended divination and astrology. They were hidden in the secret room of the ancient tomb of the Dixian Village and locked these prisoners inside. At first, the witches refused to violate the taboos left by their ancestors, but later they could not bear to torture and torture. In addition, Feng Shigu kept killing people and forced them to calculate.
