Chapter 120 Ghost Snake
We came to the wall where Xiaodao was standing, and looked up at the mural above, which is divided into four pictures.

The first painting is a city full of gunpowder and smoke, all Han people dressed up carrying big and small packages, women holding children, men carrying old people on their backs, and fleeing in a hurry.

The second picture depicts the mighty Han people migrating to the south, and behind them there are Hu people on tall horses chasing and killing them.

In the third picture, the Han Chinese team has obviously been reduced by half, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled and a small number of strong men who continue to go south. Presumably those strong men and most of them were killed by the barbarians.

And the last picture is the most interesting. There is no one in the mural, and there is a forest in the background. Those who fled have disappeared, leaving only their luggage and bags left there...

The things described in these four pictures are roughly consistent with what Lei Erye told me before. They all said that the northern Han people disappeared out of thin air overnight on the way to the south.

However, there are only four pictures on this wall, and there is no explanation at all about how the group of Han Chinese who traveled from the north to the south disappeared, and where they went after disappearing.

After seeing the mural, Second Master Lei heaved a long sigh, and our eyes fell on the bronze coffin, hoping to find some clues and records in the coffin.

The second master Lei didn't know what he found, so he squatted down suddenly. He touched the figure carved on the bronze coffin and said to us: "It's so weird, look at the pattern on this coffin, the normal emperor's coffin should be carved with dragons or dragons. Other auspicious beasts, but Murongchui's coffin is carved with little ghosts, ghosts, common people in Hanfu, dark clouds in the sky, and a towering tree..."

"What does this mean? How does it look like the underworld?" I asked suspiciously.

"I don't know either. Let's see if there is anything of value in the coffin." Second Master Lei stood up while speaking, holding the dagger on the weapon rack, and rummaged through the armor in the coffin.

"Well, if Xie Kui is still alive, maybe he can use his claws to find the key clues." Second Master Lei sighed, and the moment he touched the armor with the dagger, a black shadow suddenly appeared Come out, go straight to Lei Erye's face.

Second Master Lei didn't expect it, and didn't react for a while, but fortunately, the knife beside him was quick-eyed and grabbed the black shadow. I took a closer look, and it turned out to be a strange black snake!

The whole body of the strange snake was pitch black, except for the eyes and the letter it spit out were blood-red, the fangs of the strange snake were dripping with black-purple venom, and those cold eyes were fixed on the neck of the knife.

Second Master Lei swallowed in fright, and said in shock, "Why is there a snake in this coffin? This is a 600-year-old mausoleum..."

The small knife pinched the snake's seven inches, and threw it hard to the ground, and the black snake completely collapsed and died.

But what surprised us was that after the death of this strange black snake, it turned into a pool of black water and seeped into the cracks in the blue brick floor.

"This... this seems to be a ghost snake!" Deaf Zhang shouted suddenly in shock.

"Ghost snake?" I exclaimed in surprise.

"I... I heard from my master that if snake eggs are black, then... the hatched snake is a ghost snake. It is an ominous ghost. It is said that it is a snake from the underworld. Ghost snakes specialize in eating dead bodies and human souls. Appearing in a place of extreme darkness, it is more terrifying than a ghost, even a big Luo Jinxian can't be saved with a bite, I...we pool collectors are most... most afraid of this ghost...ghost snake hiding in the tomb!" Deaf Zhang was frightened and stuttered again.

"It's so scary, thankfully there's only one here..." As soon as I finished speaking, Second Master Lei cried out in panic, "Xiao...Xiaodao, what's wrong with your hand?"

I was surprised to see that the hand that Xiaodao grabbed the Ghost Snake just now had turned black, and it was still slowly spreading to the whole arm!
