Chapter 585 Open the coffin

Yes, if the Zhuanrui we know has always been a purified 'person', then why did he go to so much trouble to find a way to dissolve Huyuduo?

After Feng Guishou finished speaking, Harichagai glanced at him, and finally looked at the unconscious Zhuan Rui, and said, "Because he didn't know that he had actually been purified. This is the strange thing about Zhuan Rui. I I have been searching all the time, what is it that allows him to be purified while still retaining his own consciousness, if he can find out this reason, the power of Huyuduo will have a way to resist."

Zhong Gong still didn't believe it, and said, "This is just your side story."

Harichagai said: "Whether you believe it or not, the fact is like this. His mind is very strong, so he can suppress Huyuduo's evil nature, but this evil nature has already become one with him. Since it is a one thing, It cannot be suppressed forever, so he may erupt at any time, and the longer the time, the greater the chance of this. Therefore, I will follow you this time."

Zhong Gong didn't give up, and said: "The head of the house must have been confused by the things in the centipede mirror, so don't fucking gossip."

Harichagai said: "In this case, I will prove it to you." Then, his eyes suddenly stopped in the big black coffin, and said: "Have you ever thought about why he wanted to Go to that big coffin?"

The crowd shook their heads.

Feng Guishou said: "You will know when you open the coffin." He rubbed his hands together, looking extremely excited.Feng Guishou is definitely a person who is born to eat a lot of food. He can advance and retreat, and the most important thing is to be cautious while not lacking in the spirit of adventure.

Now, as soon as the coffin was said to be opened, he had already started preparing equipment.

I actually didn't want to open the coffin. This time, I came here mainly for the tofu, but now, it seems that I can't do without opening it. Even Zhong Gong looked like he wanted to open the coffin to find out the truth.In desperation, we put Zhuan Rui aside, and everyone walked up the stone steps of the coffin bed to the huge black coffin.

According to the order of opening the coffin, the owner of the coffin must first be invited to eat four sticks of incense, which are called three gods and four ghosts.But now, everyone is not in the mood to engage in such a thing, this place is full of soft rice dumplings, whether ordered or not, it is the same.When we took a look, we found that the coffin was still sealed. I couldn't help being surprised, and thought: I think Bai Laosi and Chen Ci have all been here before, why didn't they do something about this coffin?
Are you looking down on it, or...

I was puzzled, but Zhong Gong was overwhelmed by anger. He was so loyal to Zhuanrui, how could he accept what Harichagai said? At this moment, he only wanted to find the truth, so he immediately started to use the guy to fight coffin nails.

The boxy coffin nails were pulled out one by one, and I felt uneasy in my heart. When pulling out the last coffin nail, Zhong Gong hesitated for a moment. Perhaps it was only then that he realized that something was wrong. .

He glanced at me and I said, "Get up."

The coffin nails have all been pulled out and the last one is left, so it doesn't make sense to stop now.With a movement of his wrist, Zhong Gong lifted out the last coffin nail.According to the rules, the three of us stood at the two ends of the coffin and began to open the coffin.When opening a coffin, it is important to push it up from the feet. This rule may seem trivial, but it is actually a valuable experience summed up by the ancestors of tomb robbers.

For example, if you open the coffin from the beginning, if the face of the living person and the face of the dead face each other, it is easy to flush the yang energy, which is a big taboo. Moreover, the face of the corpse is terrifying. The third and most important thing is that if the zongzi cheats the corpse, if you touch it slowly from the feet, the coffin lid will not be fully opened, so Even if the corpse was blown up, Zongzi would not be able to jump out of the coffin immediately. At this time, quickly cover the coffin to fight for a chance of survival.

Therefore, in all walks of life, some seemingly insignificant rules actually have their origins.

Feng Gui and I stood on the side of the feet, and Zhong Gong stood on the head. The two of us pushed the coffin cover, with gas masks on our faces and corpse-touching gloves on our hands. We held our breath and slowly lowered the coffin cover. Push up.As soon as the coffin was opened, a jet of black misfortune spewed out from it. Fortunately, we were equipped so that we were not caught by this misfortune.

At this time, the coffin was pushed open by us through a gap of more than 20 centimeters, and the light shone in. It was dark inside, and the bad luck was still condensed, and a layer of black water could be vaguely seen floating in it.

Is it embalming fluid?

There are many anti-corrosion techniques in ancient times, and embalming liquid is a relatively common one, but this technology is not high-grade, and there is a possibility of embalming failure, and the corpse is soaked in embalming liquid for a long time, and it becomes wrinkled. It looks completely inhuman.The truly advanced anti-corrosion technology is a bit mysterious. For example, things like red pills can be kept in a lifelike state if they are placed in the mouth of the corpse and the corpse is contained.

I saw that the embalming fluid in the coffin had submerged more than half of the coffin, and nothing could be seen on the surface of the water. It seemed that the corpse had sunk. In order to see what was inside the coffin, we had to push the coffin a lot further. Turns out, this time, the coffin has been half opened, but strangely, we still can only see black water.

Feng Guishou felt strange, so he took out the hooked corpse claws and dug it out in the black water. After fishing for a while, he hissed and said, "There is nothing in this coffin. It is possible that this preservative is too ineffective. The bones inside were damaged."

Hearing this, Zhong Gong came to our side from the head of the coffin, and fished a few times, but nothing was found, so he said to Haricha Gai: "Come, come, come, you boy, come and have a look, look inside What's there! There's nothing, don't talk nonsense."

I thought of Zhuan Rui's turning into a fox face just now, and vaguely felt that Haricha Gai was not talking nonsense. Even though Zhuan Rui had not been purified, the Huduo on his body must have not been removed. We were completely confused in the ghosts before. up.

When Harichagai heard that there was nothing inside, he couldn't help showing a strange look on his face. He said it was impossible, and then strode up the stone steps, took the corpse hook claw from Zhong Gong's hand, and hooked it deeper into the coffin .The coffin was half-opened, and there was no possibility of another corpse, unless it was a child's corpse, but how could a child's corpse sleep in such a big coffin?The only possibility is that, as Feng Guishou said, the corpse in the coffin had already been melted in the embalming liquid.

We didn't stop Harichagai, and let him move. After hooking for a long time, the kid suddenly changed his expression, retracted his hand, and began to retract. Then, we saw that the corpse hook claw was actually hooked. A corpse!
But this is not a human corpse, but a corpse that looks like some kind of animal. It is crumpled and has no hair on the surface. If you look closely, it looks like a fox that has been skinned.We had just fished out the corpse, but suddenly there was a strange noise behind us. Looking back, it was Zhuanrui who got up. At this moment, his eyes were red, and he was staring straight at the gun in Harichagai's hand. The body, with an unbelievable speed, rushed towards Harichagai.

This time Zhuanrui's speed was too fast, Harichagai couldn't dodge at all, he was thrown backwards, and sat in the coffin with his ass!The coffin was full of embalming fluid, and with Harichagai's movements, some splashed out.

"Ouch." Then Harichagai wailed, except for his two calves, his whole body was like a V shape, embedded in the coffin, he was thumping his hands to get up, but Zhuanrui strangled his neck tightly Press into the coffin liquid.

Everyone had already reacted at this time, Feng Guishou and Zhong Gong, I and I immediately dragged Zhuan Rui back, holding hands and waists, otherwise Haricha Gaizhen would be drowned by him.We still regard Zhuanrui as a companion at the moment, so we didn't hit hard, but just hugged her and dragged him back with all our strength.

Unexpectedly, this move was a big mistake. We had just dragged Zhuan Rui back two steps, when he suddenly let out a strange howl that didn't resemble a human being, and everyone was thrown out again.This time the force was even greater, I was thrown out, and my back happened to hit the chilong hub tripod.I just felt that the chilong on the back was hit by me, and immediately sank together,

My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn't speak well, and the next second, I fell to the ground.

At the same time, there was a sudden sound of brushing in the entire cave. The light source is limited at this moment. I looked around, but I couldn't see the surrounding environment clearly, and I didn't know what happened.And Feng Guishou and Zhong Gong also rolled off the corpse bed, sprawled in all directions.

However, Zhuan Rui turned his back to us. Judging from the situation, it seemed that he was still pressing Haricha into the coffin, as if he was about to murder.My heart became ruthless, and I thought it would be impossible if I had to be ruthless this time, so I got up and rushed up. Seeing Harichagai's staff fell beside the coffin, I immediately picked it up and smashed it on Zhuanrui's head.

In fact, he had already been smashed before, I was worried that if I used too much force, I would really smash him out, so I still had some weight in my hand, I didn't expect that Zhuanrui would really faint after this smash.

Harichagai in the coffin, covered in black liquid, climbed out of the coffin, turned around and vomited. The water he spit out was also black, obviously a lot of it was poured into his mouth just now.
