Holy Bone

Chapter 216 The Resurrected People's Tomb and the Gatekeeper
All the accidents happened so suddenly.

All the torches were strangely extinguished at once, and people's vision suddenly went dark.

Then the raft sank.

something aboard...

All this happened in a short moment.

No chance at all.

It smells bloody!

The blood is so thick that it makes people want to vomit!

"Little brother!"

"Cut the sword!"

"Are you all right?"

In the blinding darkness, the old Taoist's eager low cry came from the direction of the stern.

But when people go from a bright place to darkness, the human eyes cannot adapt immediately. The old Taoist only felt that there was darkness in front of him.

Straight away.

"Old Daoist, I'm fine. There's something on board, so hide yourself!" Jin An immediately responded in the darkness.

Jin'an's words fell.

There was a red horse with a hot wave, which lit up in the dark, and it was Jin An who made a decisive move.

He directly swung his knife towards the vague direction of the thing boarding the boat in the darkness.

While the red knife light was splitting out, it also illuminated the raft.

call--

Jin An's knife cut through the air, only the air, the red knife light in his hand only illuminated the two red faces of him and the old Taoist in the darkness, the sword was cut, and it disappeared.

When the torch was ignited again, only half of the corpse was left standing on the raft where the sword was sharpened, intestines and blood flowed out, only the lower body, and the body above the waist and abdomen disappeared.

It looked like he had been bitten off half of his body by something on top of his head.

The smell of blood in the closed cave was even stronger.

"Cut, cut the sword..."

The old Taoist's eyes turned red, and he burst into tears immediately, wanting to hug the half corpse in grief.

But as soon as the old Taoist approached half of the corpse, he cried aloud: "Little brother is wrong, the clothes on this man are not sword-cutting clothes, why is it a dark gray gown?"

"He didn't sharpen the sword. Old Taoist, look above our heads." Jin An held up a torch to shine on the top of the cave above his head, as if he had made a major discovery.

Hearing that it wasn't the corpse of Jianjian, the old Taoist wiped away his tears and snot with the sleeve of his Taoist robe, followed the light of the torch in Jin'an's hand, and looked up at the top of the cave.

"!"

The old Taoist was stunned.

The statue of the beast in the Renyi town tomb that was hanging above their heads before disappeared, revealing a hole the size of a person.

The entrance of the cave was so dark that even with a torch, it couldn't see what was inside.

Because it was blocked by the tomb-slayer beast before, I didn't realize that there was such a hole above my head.

call--

call--

There is air blowing out of the hole, which should be connected to the outside world.

Just now their torches were extinguished by the wind blowing from the hole.

"No wonder we went down so deep into the cave, and we never felt the air was stuffy and uncomfortable. The Thousand Corpse Cave is still connected to the outside world. Just now, the torches were blown out by the wind."

"Old Daoist, I thought I met a ghost blowing the lamp just now..."

After knowing that the one who died was not the sharpened sword, the old Taoist heaved a sigh of relief, and then moved his head to look at the hole above his head.

"Old Daoist, that corpse with only the lower body, if I'm not mistaken, should belong to one of the Mr. Yin Yang or Mr. Feng Shui who walked with the people who crossed the river. Look, there are still bloodstains near the entrance of the cave. It was obviously taken away by a sneak attack. killed, dragged into a hole, killed, eaten."

Holding the torch in his hand, Jin An observed the entrance of the cave carefully and said.

"It seems that we did not go wrong. We took the same correct route as the people who crossed the river."

"The people who crossed the river walked ahead of us, and they also encountered a series of strange things exactly like us, and they also saw the tomb-slayer beast."

"Then, like us, the torches went out, and we were plunged into darkness, attacked from overhead."

"As for the half of the extra corpses on our ship, it should be something hiding in the hole above the head. When it sneaked up on us in the dark, it left behind and didn't finish eating the human body."

The old Taoist was worried about the safety of the sword-cutting sword, and said anxiously: "Doesn't that mean that the thing that took away the sword-cutting sword is the same murderer who ate the upper body of this person? Sword-cutting is dangerous!"

"Human Tomb Slayer Beast eats people. As expected, human tomb tomb beasts eat people's tombs. Ominous and strange things will always happen. Now, the sharp sword must have been eaten by Human Tomb Slayer..."

The old Taoist was even more worried about the safety of cutting the sword.

Twirling around anxiously on the raft.

Jin An frowned.

Now even he is in a dilemma.

The hole above the head is very big, it is not difficult to enter him alone, but now the sword is gone, if he goes into the cave to find the sword, leaving the old Taoist alone in the cave of thousands of corpses, in case something happens to the old Taoist again, the sword will The whereabouts of the sword is unknown again, and he will regret it for the rest of his life.

Both sharpening swords and old Taoist priests are important.

None of the three of them should have any accidents.

After pondering for a while, Jin An said to the old Taoist priest: "Old Taoist, wait for me for a while, I will go into the cave to see if I can find the sharpening sword. If the cave above the head is very deep, I will not be able to walk through it for a while. Get out in time, and then think of another countermeasure to find Sword Shaving."

The old Taoist had no objection after hearing this, and hurriedly urged Jin'an to quickly find the sword.

Let Jin An not have to worry about his safety.

He used to walk the rivers and lakes alone for so many years, and he knew how to protect himself in dangerous places.

Although the roof of the cave is a bit high from the raft, it doesn't affect Jin'an at all.

With a light leap, he grasped the opening of the hole with both hands.

Use both arms.

People have successfully entered the cave entrance.

As a result, he had just entered the entrance of the cave, and Jin An was almost suffocated by the smell in the cave.

The smell of blood, the smell of rotting corpses, and some indescribable strange smells all mixed together and turned into a stench.

……

Only the old Taoist priest was left on the raft.

He didn't sit still, he planned to draw a spell on the raft and draw "Xing Qi Jin Guang Zhuan".

The old Taoist priests have nothing to do with copying "Xing Qi Jin Guang Zhuan", but they are familiar with it.

But before the old Taoist could copy a few spells, Jin An, who had just entered the hole above his head, quickly retreated.

"No, the cave above extends in all directions, just like the cave of thousands of corpses, there are many forks, and it is easy for people to lose their way in it." After returning to the raft, Jin An shook his head at the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist was worried about the safety of cutting the sword. The longer this time dragged on, the more dangerous it would be to cut the sword.

When the two were discussing the countermeasures and how to find the sword sharpening, suddenly, in the silence of only the two of them, in the dark cave of thousands of corpses, there was a sound of falling into the water, splashing water.

The sound of falling into the water, in the empty, quiet and dark environment, was particularly harsh and echoed far away.

"Little brother! This time it came from the direction behind us again!"

The old Taoist priest and Jin An turned to look behind at the same time.

"Shhh, listen carefully, there seems to be some movement!" Jin Anchao silenced the old Taoist priest, and then listened carefully to the movement in the dark behind him.

The old Taoist immediately held his breath.

wow——

wow——

The water waves pressed against the water waves, and there was a rush. This time, the Cave of Thousand Corpses was not calm, and something was swimming towards them from the water!
"Old Daoist, stand in the middle and protect yourself, something is coming towards us!"

With a torch in one hand and a tiger knife in the other, Jin An shouted to the old Taoist in a low voice.

The old Taoist has already hurriedly took out a few treasures from his Tai Chi gossip bag, his whole body muscles are tense and he is staring at the dark place behind him.

In his hand, he held a handful of glutinous rice to deal with the evil corpses, and a mahogany sword to defend himself.

His grandma, in case there is something in the water that wants to board the boat, he will directly stab it into the water with a sword.

The movement under the dark water is getting closer, and the sound of the water waves is getting faster and faster.

"Such a big movement, this time it must be a big guy!"

The old Taoist was nervous.

But when the torch shined on the water, nothing could be seen, except black, it was still pitch black.

suddenly.

The sound of water waves suddenly disappeared.

disappeared under the raft.

Just when Jin An and the old Taoist were ready to be impacted from under the raft, the two were just ready, bang, the raft shook, a person's arm was on the raft, and someone jumped onto the raft from the river, completely wet Drip down.

"Cut the sword!"

"Cut the sword!"

Jin An and the old Taoist spoke in surprise.

The person who boarded the boat was Jian Jian who had disappeared for a while, and was holding a strange corpse in the sword's hand.

boom.

The sharp sword, which was soaked all over, threw the strange corpse in his hand on the raft.

"Master, this disciple caught this, it was this thing that attacked us just now."

Yinde one.

The familiar avenue induction comes again

It was still the sharp sword that Jin An was familiar with, it hadn't changed at all.

It turned out that the moment the torch was blown out just now, there was something above his head, and it immediately attacked Chijian, but as a robber, Chijian was very alert, and immediately launched a counterattack.

In a hurry.

The thing that sneaked up on the sharpening sword fled back into the hole at the top of the head.

Cut the sword and start the pursuit.

There is another universe in the cave above the head, which can reach everywhere in all directions, and the sword-cutting is bold, and has been chasing after that thing.

And what Shajian caught back was a strange corpse carrying a human tomb-suppressing beast on its back.

This strange corpse is dead but not rotten, looks lifelike, and has the same appearance as someone who is still alive. It's just strange to say that this person's skin is as white as wax. Different.

On the back of this strange corpse, there is a stone statue of a beast in the tomb of a human being.

But the stone statue of the beast in the human tomb is connected with the corpse by flesh and blood.

It turned out that through a special technique, the stone statue of the beast in the human tomb and the skin on the human's back were glued together.

Even if this person dies, he will not live in peace.

It is necessary to carry a personal tomb town beast on its back for life after life.

Unable to rest in the ground.

"Little brother, be careful, don't touch this corpse yet." The old Taoist frowned solemnly and stopped Jin An.

"Little brother, look at the surface of this corpse. The skin, flesh and blood are waxy white. This is a body that was forcibly poured into mercury and killed when it was alive. , the blood cannot circulate, so if you want to embalm the corpse, you can only achieve the most perfect embalming effect if you force the person to drink highly poisonous mercury while the person is alive, and the blood flows throughout the body."

"This corpse is not as simple as an ordinary evil corpse. This person was buried by a living person. Before he died, the skin on his back was glued together with the stone statue and used as a tomb-suppressing beast to replace the tomb owner. Guard the entrance to the tomb."

"After the human skin and the tomb-suppressing beast are glued together, the wound on the back heals again, and the tomb-suppressing beast is completely grown together, then mercury is poured into the human body alive, so as to keep the body from decaying for thousands of years, forever. If you don’t enter the cycle of reincarnation, you will have to guard the entrance of the tomb for the owner of the tomb forever and ever, carrying a human beast on your back.”

"The owner of the tomb has a heart of a gangster, and he used such a vicious method to create a gatekeeper for him!"

As the old Taoist spoke, he couldn't help but yelled at the owner of the tomb for taking human life in disregard.

Mercury is highly toxic.

That's why the old Taoist stopped Jin An from touching the corpse just now.

The reason why the sword is not afraid of these poisons should be related to his identity as a corpse hunter. The training methods of each corpse hunter are very special, and they can no longer be classified as normal people.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is invulnerable to all poisons.

At this time, the janitor had been killed by the sword, half of his chest was missing, and the wound was sharp, as if cut by a sharp blade.

The waxy white fibrotic lung was exposed in the cut half of the chest.

These are the mercury that was forcibly poured into the body when it was alive, and the mercury flowed through the whole body through the blood and deposited in various organs of the body.

"Chi Jian, is this the only gatekeeper in the hole above his head?" Jin An asked Chi Jian.

Shajian nodded.

The gatekeeper was covered in mercury, which was highly poisonous, so he couldn't take it with him. Although he felt sorry for what happened to him, Jin An and the old Taoist decided to seal him back into the cave above his head.

After finishing all the work, I switched back to Jin'an to support the pole again, and the raft continued on the road.

……

On the next journey, I never encountered the Renji Town Tomb Beast again.

Peaceful journey.

And with the sword cutting to lead the way, this Cave of Thousand Corpses, which is like a ecstasy formation, has little impact on Jin An and the others.

Always find the right path.

People have been in the dark for a long time, without reference objects, the concept of time is getting more and more blurred, and no one knows how far they have traveled in the cave of thousands of corpses.

No one knows how big this Thousand Corpse Cave is.

Did it hollow out the entire mountain range?

When people are in the dark, they always feel that the time is extremely long...

In the darkness, after walking for an unknown amount of time, green lights began to appear in the originally dark cave of thousands of corpses, and there were more and more stars.

These green lights are actually phosphorous fires that only cemeteries have.

And the presence of phosphorous fire indicates that there are a large number of corpses here.

As the raft moved forward, there were more phosphorous fires on the road, and the waterway began to become narrower.

At first, Jin'an thought that the narrowing of the waterway was caused by the terrain, but as the waterway became narrower and narrower, when the old Taoist took a torch to shine on his side, the corpse!
Countless corpses.

Densely packed.

It's piled up here.

No less than hundreds of corpses piled up in the waterway, blocking the waterway and narrowing the waterway.

The corpses of these dead people were soaked in the river water all the year round, so the corpses turned white.

Strangely enough, none of them rotted.

These corpses include men and women, and they are all the corpses of boat passengers, boat merchants, and ordinary people who drowned in the Daguaikou of the Yinyi River over the years. After being washed into the Thousand Corpse Cave with the river water, they finally ran aground here.

until……

There were several tongue-plucked corpses hanging above their heads by hemp ropes, blocking their way forward, and they couldn't go around.
