Chapter 214: Humans suppress tomb beasts, unknown strange things
But this tomb-suppressing beast is really evil."
"This is the first time I have seen the tomb beast carved above my head."
Jin An used a bamboo pole to jam the gap in the cave wall, and the raft stood still in the deep, ink-free river water. The three people on the raft looked curiously at the tomb-suppressing beast above them.
This grave beast is facing down.
He has a weird face.
In the deep cave, which was empty and extremely quiet with only the sound of water, the atmosphere suddenly became strange and depressing.
This tomb-suppressing beast is facing down, as if the craftsmen who built the tomb knew that someone would come in through the Thousand Cave Cave, so they specially carved it face down on the top of their head, intending to scare off tomb robbers.
"Little brother, when you were in Chang County to help your younger siblings and kill their old bodies in the coffin temple, you must have encountered a tomb-suppressing beast. I remember you mentioned that the tomb-suppressing beast you encountered that time was a demon (
wǎng) like a tomb beast..."
The old Taoist priest held a torch in his hand and looked at the green-faced and fanged tomb-suppressing beast hanging above his head. He clicked his tongue and said: "Last time, the little brother encountered the elf-elephant tomb-suppressing beast. This time, the little brother encountered the human-faced beast.
Tomb-suppressing beast... Little brother, what do I think? If I follow you around the country, I will always encounter all kinds of strange and weird things that others may not encounter in their entire lives."
"It's like talking about this human tomb beast. Not many people would use ordinary tombs because the yin energy is too great and the evil energy is too great. This thing specializes in eating people, both living and dead, so it's not as good as
The tomb-suppressing beast like the elephant is gentle and can easily bite the owner of the tomb."
There is a good distinction between the elephant-like tomb-slaying beast and the human-like tomb-slaying beast.
The former is usually in the form of an animal, and is the most common one. It can ward off evil spirits, deter strange things, and prevent snakes, insects, rats, and ants from invading the tomb.
The latter is a ridiculous and weird human face, specially used to prevent tomb thieves from destroying ancient tombs. It is delicious.
It eats both dead and living people.
So the evil nature is greater.
Although the tomb-killing beast Elephant is also used to guard against tomb robbers, it only drives away people and kills people, and does not brutally eat people.
The old Taoist priest continued to ponder and said: "Old Taoist, I have met several antique experts before. Strange things happened to them because they collected the burial objects from ancient tombs from tomb robbers, and then they found the old Taoist to help them exorcise evil spirits, so I, the old Taoist, dealt with this person.
The tomb beast also has some understanding."
"Those antique experts say that if a mausoleum uses humans to suppress tomb beasts, it is usually a large tomb, not an ordinary large tomb, but a large tomb comparable to the tomb of an emperor. The person buried in it is either a general or a general.
He is a prince, a member of the royal family, or the leader of a small country, because only this kind of person has a strong enough destiny to be able to control such evil things as the human and the tomb beast."
The old Taoist priest held a torch and looked at the tomb-suppressing beast above his head, and continued: "Old Taoist, I also heard that as long as a large tomb with a human tomb-suppressing beast is used, in addition to worrying that the tomb-suppressing beast will bite the tomb owner,
A series of unknown and strange things will happen."
"As for what the unknown strange thing is, those antique experts are just playing with antiques and don't know the specific details. It is estimated that only those tomb robbers who have been digging up corpses in tombs all year round can know the reason."
"It is also because of these reasons that there are not many ancient tombs and large tombs that can use human tomb beasts, and human tomb beasts have always been rare."
Jin An looked at the old Taoist priest who was still leaning his head forward and carefully looking at the human and the tomb beast, and was speechless for a while.
Old Taoist, you are not afraid that this man is still alive.
You are so close.
Isn't it the same as giving away someone's head?
The tomb beast carved on the top of the head screams: Come and bite me, come and bite me...
As a result, Chi Jian became more courageous and used his hands to touch the tomb beast on its head.
Jin An: "..."
One nerve is bigger than the other.
None of the two people from Wu Zang Taoist Temple made him worry.
"Master, this tomb-suppressing beast is carved from the rock of the mountain. It is a dead stone object." Chi Jian said.
Jin An looked at Jin An in surprise.
I don’t know if it was because the atmosphere of the ancient tomb stimulated the thief who was sharpening his sword. He felt familiar with the tomb and talked more obviously.
This was the first time that Chi Jian took the initiative to speak.
But this is a good thing. Maybe the more graveyard scenes you see, the sword-cutting cerebral cortex will be stimulated, and you may be able to regain your memory or something.
The three of them continued to look at the tomb beast above them for a while, and even Jin An took the initiative to reach out and touch it.
This thing is indeed a dead thing.
Just a hard stone.
Because it has been soaked in water for many years, the surface is covered with moss and feels moist and oily to the touch. The originally smooth surface has been soaked by the river water and has become somewhat pitted and old in color.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual about this tomb beast except for its green-faced fangs and weird and scary face, the three of them continued to move forward on the raft.
"It's a pity that Guard Li didn't come with us this time."
In the empty, dark and quiet cave waterway with only the three people on the raft, the old Taoist priest suddenly smacked his lips and said with emotion.
Jin'an was delighted when he heard this.
"Old Taoist, why did you suddenly mention Guard Li when you were fine?"
The Cave of Thousand Corpses was too big, and the old Taoist priest was too bored to walk around. He started to say with excitement: "Little brother, you have forgotten, Li Huwei is only thinking about fighting evil spirits. The more evil things are, the more Li Huwei will come."
Jintou, a rare thing like the Renqi Grave Beast, we have come across, and if Li Huanwei is here, I have a hunch that Li Huanwei will definitely dig out a leftover stone with a knife and bring it back."
"Among us, Li Huanwei is the most interested in these magical things. The more evil they are, the more interested he is."
As the old Taoist priest talked, even he couldn't help but laugh out loud. The old Taoist priest was happy when he thought that Li Huwei was obsessed with killing evil spirits in the past and begged to go to the Headless Village to be his headless corpse king.
Want to laugh.
"Guard Li came to look for us several times, but he just didn't meet us. This time, Guard Li didn't follow us to the Cave of Thousand Corpses in the Yinyi River. He didn't see so many weird things along the way. Old Taoist.
I actually started to feel a little sorry for Li Weibei..."
Well.
After listening to the old Taoist priest's words, Jin An began to subconsciously imagine what would happen if Guard Li were here.
Don't even say it.
Sure enough, it has a sense of picture.
Li Huwei, who is more nervous than the old Taoist priest and the sharp swordsman, really wants to go down to the Cave of Thousand Corpses with them. When he met the Renxi Grave Beast just now, Li Huwei probably would really use a knife to dig out the teeth of the Renxi Grave Beast.
Or eyeballs as souvenirs.
I have to hold her even when I sleep.
I begged Renqi to suppress the tomb beast and seek him out.
Jin An couldn't help but laugh out loud.
…
Along the way, Pirates sharpened his sword and continued to use his special skills.
Drink water from the river at every fork in the road.
"Xi Jian, if you are full after drinking water, you can tell us and we can stop and rest for a while." Jin An was really worried that if he didn't take the initiative to tell Xi Jian, Xi Jian, an honest and dull thieves, would keep drinking water.
Along the way, even the old Taoist priests were full of praise for sharpening swords.
So much fun along the way.
cowhide.
Even Mrs. Niu would retreat when she saw the sharp sword.
In the deep, dark cave, apart from the sound of the river flowing, there were only the slow progress of the raft and the whispers of the three people. The torches on the raft provided limited illumination.
It was as if this pitch-black cave really had no end.
Suddenly.Douzi Bookstore
Plop!
In the empty, invisible quiet darkness, the sound of falling water came again, this time from the front.
"It seems like it's coming from the top of my head this time!"
On the raft, the old Taoist priest hurriedly raised the torch to shine above his head.
Jin An and Jiajian both looked up, their body muscles tense.
A weird human face with a green face and fangs hangs on the ceiling of the cave. It is absurd and gloomy. This time it is still a human tomb beast.
"It's strange. How many tomb beasts are there in this waterway?"
The old Taoist priest planned to reach out and touch the tomb beast on his head this time, but Jin An stopped him in time.
"Old Taoist, don't move yet."
Jin An used a bamboo pen stuck in the gap in the cave wall to stop the raft. He personally walked under the tomb beast above and looked at the tomb beast.
"Little brother, I have checked it. The moss on the surface of the body of this Tomb Beast is still intact, and there are no signs of damage. It is not the same Tomb Beast we encountered before."
The old Taoist priest held up a torch and said.
Next, Jin An continued to hold the pole, and the raft moved forward in the dark cave again.
result.
Plop!
There was another sound of something falling into the water, and again it came from the roof of the cave above the heads of the three people.
This time, after the raft had drifted a few feet away, I saw the familiar statue of the Tomb Beast again above my head. It was still facing down with its green face and fangs, strange and gloomy, like a demon hiding in the darkness above the head, looking at it gloomily.
All living people trying to enter the tomb.
As the saying goes, there are only three things to do.
This time, there was no need to say anything to each other. The three of them all noticed that there was something wrong with the human and tomb beasts carved on the ceiling of the cave above their heads.
"Could it be that ghosts hit the wall?"
"Can't we just keep going in circles?"
But the old Taoist priest's guess is not tenable.
Because Jin An was holding a torch, this time he looked at every detail with a solemn expression. The man above his head was facing down the tomb beast of Ren Xi. There were no traces left by them on the tomb beast of Ren Xi.
I found this on the human tomb beast in front of me.
Jin An pondered for a moment and said:
He drew his sword out of its sheath, and with a flash of light, the sword struck directly into the head of the tomb beast.
The sharp-edged Husha knife sank into the statue's head easily. This tomb-suppressing beast was indeed a stone statue.
Nothing unusual.
Jin An slashed at the tomb beast above his head several times, but found nothing unusual.
However, although Jin'an slashed, he did not violently destroy the human and tomb beast above his head.
Because the raft is still under the Tomb Beast of Renxi Town.
Jin An was worried that if he moved too much, a large number of rocks would fall and smash through the raft or capsize it, and they would have to swim all the way forward in the water.
And fighting underwater is precisely the weakness of human beings.
If they encounter any situation underwater, they can easily fall into passive danger.
"Old Taoist priest, sharpen your sword, do you see anything wrong?"
Jin An asked the two of them, but naturally there was no result.
So after Jin An pondered for a while, the three of them planned to continue on the road first, and the soldiers came to cover up the water and the soil. He still didn't believe it. If something dirty was really targeting them, the three of them would not be able to deal with it.
Moreover, he also has the Five Thunder Evil-Slaying Talisman and the Six Ding Liujia Talisman on him.
Don't be afraid of these evil spirits.
Plop!
In the empty dark place, the sound of falling water could be heard again.
"Little brother, this time the sound of falling water didn't come from the front, this time it came from behind us!"
"Something is following!"
The old Taoist priest turned around fiercely, looked behind him, and said anxiously.
But it was too dark in the cave, and the limited lighting torch in my hand could not illuminate very far.
Without the old Taoist priest's reminder, Jin An had already noticed something was wrong with the sound of falling water. He stopped the raft and looked behind him with a torch in his hand, but he didn't find anything. The torch couldn't even illuminate a distance of one foot, and he was endlessly trapped.
The darkness was swallowed up.
The three of them held their breath and listened carefully to the movement in the darkness behind them.
Dead silence.
Dead silence.
It's so dead.
The atmosphere in the cave was depressing, and the three of them heard nothing.
Jin An took a torch to shine on the water. The water in the Cave of Thousand Corpses was so dark that nothing could be seen.
Jin An lay down on the edge of the raft and put his face against the water to see what was underneath.
But except for the faint distorted light of the torch reflected on the water, nothing could be seen clearly.
At this time, the cave was still eerily silent.
However.
It's this kind of calmness that makes people's whole body muscles tense.
At this moment, they are on a raft on the water, with no land in front or behind, and cannot go ashore to change from passive to active. They are trapped in a dilemma for a while. They can't keep doing this, right?
The situation of the three people became even more passive.
"It's not enough to keep doing this. We have to go out and get ashore as soon as possible. I have a hunch that if we keep doing this, even if nothing comes with us, sooner or later we will be tortured by suspicion and exhaustion, and it will be even more difficult.
Out."
Jin An frowned, and then handed the bamboo pole in his hand to the old Taoist priest: "Old Taoist, you come and support the pole. This time, I will stand in the middle to coordinate the front and rear. Now we have no way out and can only continue to move forward."
"Okay, little brother."
The old Taoist priest didn't have much else to say. After putting the torch in his hand on the raft, he began to take the initiative to hold the pole and steer the boat.
As the raft continued to advance slowly in the cave, Jin An moved his hands and concentrated his whole body, paying attention to any slight movement around him.
This time, after the raft had advanced a few feet, sure enough, we saw the gloomy human-faced Tomb Beast again on the roof of the cave above our heads.
Just like the previous three times, as long as you hear the sound of something falling into the water and move forward for a few feet, you will definitely find a human tomb beast on the roof of the cave above your head.
When he saw the tomb-suppressing beast, Jin An raised the torch above his head to take a look. As a result, there were several stab wounds on the gloomy face of the tomb-suppressing beast.
This human-like tomb-suppressing beast is the same human-like tomb-suppressing beast they encountered before.
"It's really a ghost hitting the wall!"
But before Jin An finished speaking, phew!
In the cave that had been quiet all this time, three torches went out at the same time, as if something blew out the torches from above the head, bang!
The raft sank suddenly, and something got on board in the darkness!
