The tears I had just stopped were now threatening to burst again.
But I don't want to cry in front of him, he doesn't need sympathy, although I know that my tears are not just sympathy.
I raised my head, opened my eyes wide, and tried to push back the tears.
But the moment I looked up, I saw something flashing back and forth in my sight on the roof of the room, where the mummy had previously been hung!
"There's something up there!" I screamed, jumped to Han Jiuchen and held his arm. Pointing to the gap where the mummy was previously hung, I said, "There's something flashing!"
Han Jiuchen took two steps forward and stood under the gap, raised his head, raised the heart lamp and observed for a while, then said: "Put some more mummies down!"
Before he finished speaking, Han Jiuchen cut the rope hanging the mummy with a few strokes just like before, revealing a larger gap on the roof of the room.
Han Jiuchen held up the lamp, and through the light we saw that there was something that looked like a copper bell tied to each rope hanging the mummy.
"What is that? It looks like a copper bell, but if it is a copper bell, when you took off the mummy, the rope was swinging so much. There is no reason why there is no bell!"
"You'll know after you take it off and take a look."
I curled my lips and secretly complained that it was easy to say, but now we don’t even have a place to borrow strength. How are we going to climb to the top to get that thing? Could it be that he can really carry a treasure box from his pocket like Fatty Blue?
Take out a telescopic ladder?
Han Jiuchen walked around for several times with his head raised, as if he was considering how to start.
Then he flew up to the top and fiddled with it for a while before returning to the ground. When he came down, he found something in his hand, which was really a copper bell.
However, this copper bell is already worn out, its original color cannot be seen, and there is nothing inside. No wonder the rope was swinging like that just now without making any sound!
There was a faint black air coming out of the top of the bell, and I knew it was the so-called resentment.
I remember it was mentioned in Xiao Po's book that if resentment is strong enough to be visible to the naked eye, it is extremely dangerous.
But I can't figure out whether I can see resentment because the resentment on the bell is too heavy or because my eyes are different from ordinary people.
Generally speaking, copper bells have the function of attracting wealth and warding off evil spirits, but why do the people in this layout tie copper bells to the heads of mummies?
Is it to prevent the resentment inside from spreading to the ground?
I told Han Jiuchen my thoughts, but he shook his head.
"On the contrary," Han Jiuchen said while handing the copper bell to my eyes and holding the heart lantern closer, "Look carefully, there are runes written on the inside and outside of this copper bell."
I looked at it carefully for a while, and there were indeed densely packed runes.
Because it was so dense that it almost covered the entire copper bell, no wonder I couldn't see its original color before.
Han Jiuchen told me, "The thing used to write runes is oil."
"魖?" I saw this in a small book. "Is it a ghost that appeared in the southwest in ancient times and lived by sucking in resentment?"
Han Jiuchen nodded, "Yes, Xiao's resentment is so powerful that some ordinary magic weapons have no effect on it."
Han Jiuchen told me that the caramel oil is its corpse oil. The color is similar to that of cinnabar. It has the effect of restraining magic weapons. Some people who raise imps and zombies like to use it to destroy the spirituality of magic weapons.
The function of these runes is to deduct resentment.
This is what some alchemists say. As the name suggests, it means to withhold grievances.
A hole was dug out at the top of the copper bell. He had checked it when he was on it just now. The ropes hanging from the top were wrapped in a very thin tube, which was also densely covered with runes, and this tube
The top of it fits right into this hole.
When we entered before, he didn't feel any resentment. He originally thought that Emperor Fei had absorbed all the resentment, so he didn't think much about it.
Now it seems that the resentment here was not absorbed by Fei Emperor, but was transmitted to the top through the copper bell and thin tube.
I suddenly realized: "It's Tang Xuanyi, he deliberately took away the resentment here!"
Han Jiuchen was about to answer me when we heard a click-click sound.
Han Jiuchen and I looked at the source of the sound at the same time, and found that the mummies he had put down earlier had actually gotten up from the ground!
They seemed to have just woken up from a deep sleep, twisting their necks and waving their hands, as if they were stretching before exercising, and at the same time they walked towards us step by step.
When I saw this, I took a breath and took a few steps back. I remembered Han Jiuchen's words just now and asked, "Are these the souls remaining in the body acting? Are they still alive?"
After saying that, I felt like I was a fool, my body was like this, and I was still alive!
Han Jiuchen looked up at the thin tube that was exposed in the air because of the lack of the copper bell, frowned and said: "It's resentment! The remaining resentment in the tube leaked out, and these mummies who had the soul-condensing nails pulled out were affected and moved.
Lost the remaining soul."
Han Jiuchen said that corpses that have been nailed with soul-condensing nails are extremely resentful. They need to drink human blood to replenish their bodies. They must not be allowed to catch and bite them, otherwise the resentment will invade the body and they will be in big trouble!
Originally, I had some sympathy for these mummies, but as soon as Han Jiuchen said these words, I was filled with only fear.
"Then what do we do?"
"Pick up the soul-condensing nail and insert it back!" As he said that, Han Jiuchen drew out the Heavenly Punishment and attacked the mummy that was getting closer.
Several sword energy flew away, and although the mummy was beaten to pieces, it continued to move.
I hid behind Han Jiuchen and asked in shock, "Aren't they afraid?"
Han Jiuchen said, "You hold them back while I pick up the soul-condensing nails."
What? Me? Hold them back?
What kind of international joke are you kidding!
"I will be bitten to death!" I almost cried in fear.
Han Jiuchen ignored me, took out a dagger, and cut my wrist. Blood immediately flowed out, and I cried in pain!
"Walking close to the wall, they are afraid of the ghost-suppressing scripture and dare not lean against the wall."
The mummies smelled the smell of blood, twisted their bodies and rushed towards me.
I ran to the corner farthest from them and stood against the wall.
Sure enough, as Han Jiuchen said, the mummies were afraid of the ghost-suppressing scripture on the wall. They were still some distance away from me, so they didn't dare to get any closer. They all made roaring noises and surrounded me.
Han Jiuchen took the opportunity to pick up the Soul Condensing Nail.
I don’t know what kind of incantation he recited for Heaven’s Punishment, but Heaven’s Punishment turned into a long whip.
He whipped his whip and tied the mummies one by one, pulling them over and inserting the soul-condensing nails back into their heavenly caps.
When the soul-condensing nail was inserted back, they stopped moving instantly and returned to a mummy as quiet as a chicken.
Han Jiuchen briefly helped me treat the wound, and then laid the mummies flat on the ground one by one. "They are also pitiful people after being subjected to such cruel spells that they cannot be reincarnated."
I looked at his side face, and I didn't know if it was my psychological effect, but I always felt that he looked particularly pale at this moment. I felt so distressed that I wanted to rush over and hug him and say: Actually, you are too.
However, I never spoke.
We continued moving forward with our heart lamp in hand, and Han Jiuchen opened the second door in the same way.
Behind the door is another stone chamber. We stood at the door and looked in. We found that the one inside was half smaller than the one outside. It looked about the same size as the ancestral hall above. Even the furnishings were exactly the same. The only difference was the middle of the stone chamber.
, a coffin is placed.
When I saw the coffin, I felt a little weak, and I moved two steps behind Han Jiuchen.
Han Jiuchen shook my hand with his backhand and told me not to be afraid and to follow him.
He stepped forward and walked inside, and I quickly followed.
As he walked, he told me not to touch anything in here, as there might be corpse poison or mechanisms.
I responded repeatedly, wanting to ask him if it was possible that the coffin contained the body of the ghost king. Before I could say the words, I heard a loud rumble from behind.
Hearing the sound, Han Jiuchen and I turned around at the same time, only to see that the carved wooden door had been closed.
Only then did I realize that of this door, only the outer layer was made of wood, and the inside turned out to be a stone door!
I was so frightened that I turned pale. My mind was in a daze, and I instantly forgot all Han Jiuchen's instructions before. I screamed and ran to the door to beat him.
In fact, I know that this is useless at all, but I just do it subconsciously!
Han Jiuchen turned around and looked at my movements, stepped forward and pulled me back, saying angrily: "Su Qingzheng, what I just said to you just turned around and fell on deaf ears, right?"
I staggered when he pulled me, and almost fell to my knees on the ground. Fortunately, he caught me in time and took me into his arms.
I didn't have time to defend myself, so I hugged him and said with a sad face: "The door is closed, what should I do?"
Han Jiuchen's face was not very good at first, but now he looked even worse.
He pushed me away and scolded me: "It's closed. Why are you panicking? I can't prevent you from getting out even if I'm here! What did I tell you before? If you rush over so recklessly, what if the door is closed?"
What would you do if you were exposed to poison or a mechanism? I don’t think you’d even know how you’d die!”
I shrunk my neck and dared not say a word as he scolded me.
But I was secretly happy in my heart. Although he had scolded me many times since we met, he had never yelled at me so angrily like this!
He is nervous about me, I know.
Thinking of this, the grievances in my heart disappeared.
I looked at him pitifully with my mouth flattened, and after he finished scolding me, I said in a low voice with a tearful tone: "I was wrong."
Seeing me like this, Han Jiuchen sighed helplessly, and said in a softer tone: "I don't have much time, can you save me some trouble?"
As soon as I heard this, I knew that most of his anger had dissipated, so I immediately nodded my head, and crawled into his arms while sniffing and asking: "Han Jiuchen...were you nervous just now?"
Although Han Jiuchen didn't speak, I could feel that he was really scared just now.
Han Jiuchen rubbed my head and buried his head against my forehead, acquiescing.
I lowered my eyelids and stared at the tip of his nose and lips. My heart moved. I thought the atmosphere was so good, why not have a pop?
I was about to stand on tiptoes to give him a sneak attack, but suddenly I remembered that he had chewed the smelly dirt outside. All the pink bubbles in my heart burst instantly. When I got back, the first thing I did was to let him brush his teeth and rinse his mouth.
