Bone Picker

Chapter 36 Nine Nether Bone Formation

For more than half an hour, all the stones at the entrance of the mine were removed and cleaned aside, revealing an oval entrance.

The height of the mine is seven or eight meters, and the width is six to seven meters. Weeds are overgrown on the ground at the entrance, and there are many weeds that are suppressed by stones and cannot grow up. They can only grow close to the ground and the gaps in the stones. .

The mine looked desolate, and there was an atmosphere of inexplicable fear.

"Go in and have a look." Zibuyu entered the mine first, carrying the sword wrapped in black cloth.

I took the miner's lamp from a worker, followed quickly, and shone in front of me without saying a word.

Walking along the rails, the space gradually opened up.

The roof of the cave above the head is getting higher and wider, and there are whirring sounds coming from the sky above the cave from time to time, but the sound is very unpleasant, a bit like howling ghosts and howling wolves.

The karst cave above is absolutely natural, but there are many traces of artificial carving on the ground.

So it proves that this cave has existed for a long time, and someone came in later to transform it and make it into a tomb.

Later, the exploration team found this place and came in. Whether it was mining or archaeology, it had greatly changed the original appearance of the cave.

"Let's be careful, this place is abnormal." Zibuyu, who was walking in front, reminded me aloud.

I have long known that this place is not normal, otherwise my grandfather would be able to break here, you know, he was one of the four great earth masters at that time.

Although I knew this place was abnormal, Zibuyu's reminder still made me tense, as if a ghost would jump out of me at any moment.

There was an empty cave in front of it, about the size of a basketball court. There were many messy things on the ground. I used a miner's lamp to illuminate it from a distance, and I found many coffin boards scattered on the ground, as well as corpses one by one.

Zibuyu walked towards the cave first, and I quickly followed.

When I arrived at the cave, I saw that the center of the cave was in a mess.

The coffin boards are scattered all over the place, some corpses can be vaguely seen under the coffin boards, and some cylindrical stone pillars are scattered between the coffin boards.

Zibuyu looked left and right, stroked his chin and said, "This place used to be a big formation, but it was destroyed by man."

I squinted at what was in front of me.

Why do I feel that the scene in front of me looks familiar?

It looks very similar to our Li family's Nine Nether Bone Formation, but I'm not sure, because the formation has been disrupted.

There is a passage at the back of the cave, like a tunnel, there is more than one, let alone where it leads.

"Unreasonable." Zibuyu said puzzledly: "The workers of the exploration team back then, why didn't these coffin boards and remains be cleaned away? Since it is mining, these things are in the way here, and if they are not cleaned up, how to transport the ore outside ?”

After saying nothing, he turned to look at me.

I guessed: "Perhaps I thought these were coffins in ancient tombs and had archaeological value, so I didn't destroy them."

"It's possible! Then if it's for the purpose of protecting cultural relics, why are they destroyed in the end?" Zibuyu asked me.

At this time, I remembered the string of numbers left by my grandfather. After deciphering, it means "don't open the coffin, it's a big disaster." Could it be these coffins.

Zibuyu walked over, squatted in front of a dead body, examined it carefully, and said, "Strange."

"What's the matter?" I also walked over, and I illuminated the corpse with a miner's lamp.

"These corpses didn't rot, they turned into mummies. This cave is so damp, water seeps from the walls and is covered with moss. The air should be very humid, but these corpses don't rot?" Zi said without saying a word. , looked at the heads of the corpses at his feet, and said: "These corpses still have long braids, and they should be from the Qing Dynasty. Calculated, they must be at least 200 years old."

I squatted down, stretched out my hand, and touched the forehead of the corpse.

The more you touch it, the more it feels wrong.

When I touched the position of the mummy Tianling cover, I seemed to touch something.

"How?" asked me silently.

I didn't speak, stood up and counted the number of these coffins.

Because the coffin has been scattered into coffin boards, it can only be determined by the number of coffin covers.

"The five words left by my grandfather back then, 'Don't open the coffin, it's a big murder', didn't they refer to these coffins?"

"Don't open the coffin, what a disaster?" Zibuyu touched his chin, then looked at the stone pillar next to him. I took a miner's lamp to shine on the stone pillar, and found that there were many runes on the stone pillar.

"Let me take a look." I took a closer look, and I was roughly sure that this is indeed our Li family's Nine Nether Bone Formation, and the runes on it are Maoshan's spells. I said: "This is our Li family. The Nine Nether Bone Formation."

"What?" Zibuyu stared at me and asked me, "Your grandfather arranged it?"

"Maybe, but maybe not." It's also hard for me to judge,
I thought about it: "The key is what is his purpose in arranging such a formation?"

"What kind of formation is this? Killing formation or phantom formation?" Zibuyu asked me.

"Slaying array! These stone pillars are the Jiuyou that senses the underground." I looked at the mummy corpses and said, "The soul caps of these mummy corpses have been driven into soul-locking nails. I touched them just now."

"Soul-locking nails?" Zi said without saying a word, and went to check the other mummies. After checking several of them in succession, he replied: "There are indeed nails. What are these soul-locking nails for?"

"Lock the souls of these people in their corpses, use the spell of locking nails to control their souls, and manipulate their corpses to deal with the people who enter here."

"Then this formation is to prevent people from entering the rear passage, which means it is a protective formation. There should be important things to protect in the rear passage." We turned our heads to look at the rear passage at the same time.

"Could it be that they invited your grandfather to set up this formation?" Zibu guessed.

I shook my head and said, "I don't know. If you are invited to arrange the formation, then after the arrangement is completed, the formation should be intact and not as messy as it is now. Could it be that someone broke it back then?"

"It's possible, that person broke your grandfather's formation and killed your grandfather!" Zibuyu deduced again.

"Go, take a look inside." I took the lead and walked towards the rear passage. Instead of guessing here, it's better to go in and find the truth.

I have no longevity, and I may die at any time. My grandfather's last wish must be fulfilled as soon as possible to find out the cause of my grandfather's death.

But just as we reached the entrance of the passage, there was a sudden clicking sound behind us.

"what sound?"

Zibuyu and I turned around almost at the same time, and looked at the coffin boards and remains again.

The air seemed to freeze, and I didn't dare to take a big breath.

Zibuyu slowly untied the black cloth, revealing the blade. It was a seven-star sword with seven gemstones of different colors on the blade.

"Did you hear that?" Zi Buyu asked me.

"what?"

"The sound of the flute, someone is playing the flute." Zibuyu frowned and listened attentively.

I held my breath, pricked up my ears, and listened carefully.

Sure enough, there was a faint sound of the flute floating in the air.

Although the sound of the flute came, the remains in front of me were slowly standing up under the control of the sound of the flute...
