Mr. Mai looked at them and said softly, "Not too optimistic, both of them are injured." It was obvious that both Jenny and Martin were injured. Fortunately, Martin could recover after a while, but Jenny could not.
She had a serious leg injury and needed immediate treatment.
"I'm fine, Mr. Mai, it's just a little skin injury." Jenny forced a smile, but her pale face had already betrayed her, and she looked like a seriously injured person.
"Stop talking so much, let's leave here first." Mr. Mai greeted, intending for us to retreat quickly.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Mai, look, the coffin is right here." I quickly called to Mr. Mai and shined my flashlight forward.
Mai Lao and Chang Shan also turned on their flashlights and walked over slowly, with the rest of us following behind them. The six coffins looked eerie and strange under the flashlight light, exuding an aura of death, which made me feel sad.
I was trembling a little. Unintentionally, I seemed to see a few coffins shaking slightly, but the shaking disappeared in an instant. I don't know if it was because I was dazzled.
"Sure enough, there are six coffins, but why do I always feel something is wrong?" Chang Shan tilted his head and said with some doubt.
I quickly said, "I don't feel right, haven't you noticed? It's relatively safe here compared to the place above. I fell with the ghost Gu people at the time, and I couldn't move even after the fall. Logically speaking, they
They should have taken the opportunity to kill me, but they didn't kill me at all, but crawled out immediately, as if they were running away, and they were very embarrassed."
"Also, isn't the appearance of these six coffins too much of a coincidence? The bottom of the cabin suddenly collapsed, and I happened to fall down, and fell right on top of the coffins. How could all this be so coincidental? It's just my luck.
Okay, I happened to catch up, but how do you explain the behavior of those two ghost poisoners?"
"I think you're overthinking it. What's wrong with this? The coffin is already here, how could it be wrong? Mr. Mai, let's not waste time and burn this damn coffin quickly."
Martin recovered a little, and his tone of voice was obviously much tougher.
"No, Zhongyi is right. The ghost Gu people want to kill us. There is no reason for them to let Zhongyi go. Moreover, there is indeed something strange about the sudden appearance of these six coffins. There must be something wrong with it.
, we can't be careless, we have to find out this problem." Chang Shan said decisively.
He said this, and I became even more sure. There might be some kind of ambush here, or simply, these six coffins are simply fake and are used to deceive us. Once the fire burns the coffins, it might attract
What about the calamity of death?
Mai Lao did not speak, but walked to a coffin, first gently touched the coffin lid with his hand, and then knocked on the coffin lid, not knowing what he was doing.
"There is someone in this coffin." Mr. Mai turned his head and said softly.
"Isn't that right? Then there would be a problem if there are no corpses in the coffin. Aren't we just going to burn their corpses? What are you waiting for? Let's do it quickly." As Martin spoke, he took out the lighter.
Jiao Ba immediately stretched out his hand to stop him, "Wait a minute, can you please stop being so reckless? Do you think you are the only one who is anxious and no one else is? You have to be calm when doing things and use your brain to think carefully." He was really rude.
, did not give Martin any face.
"You...what do you mean? I'm doing this for everyone's own good." Martin became a little angry and stared at Jiao Ba.
"Since it is for everyone's good, then you should speak less and just obey orders." Jiao Ba looked at him with contempt, and then walked to Mai Lao's side.
He squatted down and groped in front of the coffin, and smelled it from time to time. He didn't know what he was smelling. It felt weird. I was always uneasy and worried that the coffin would burst suddenly.
, and then six demon insect corpses jumped out from inside, killing several of us in an instant.
Jiao Ba smelled it for a while, then suddenly stood up and said, "It's strange, why can't I feel the yin energy?"
"Yin Qi? What do you mean?" I asked him without understanding.
Jiao Ba looked at me and explained, "It's the yin energy of the dead. Normally, for a person who has been dead for hundreds of years, the yin energy from the corpse will penetrate into the coffin, so the coffin will also have that kind of yin energy, but
There is no coffin at all, and I can’t feel any breath.”
"Didn't Mr. Mai just say that there was someone in the coffin? How could he not feel it? Jiao Ba, are you mistaken?" Jenny asked with some suspicion.
"I have been robbing tombs for many years. How could such a thing be wrong? Mr. Mai only said that there was someone in the coffin, but he did not say that there was a body in the coffin." While Jiao Ba spoke, he glanced at Mr. Mai intentionally.
"I'm confused by what you said. What does it mean to be a human being but not a corpse? Can you explain it a little more clearly? My head is all messed up." Martin was confused by us. In fact, let alone him, I am confused.
I'm a bit confused, things are a bit complicated.
Mr. Mai looked at us and said, "There are indeed people here, but I don't know whether they are corpses or not."
"It must be a corpse. Could there be a living person in this coffin?" Martin retorted, his face was extremely ugly, and his eyes were full of contempt.
"That's not even possible. Let me tell you, just open the coffin and take a look. If it's really the corpse of the wizard, we'll burn them." Chang Shan gestured and said calmly.
"I think it's okay, let's open it and have a look." Jiao Ba agreed with Chang Shan's decision. According to what he said, the coffin doesn't have the yin energy of a corpse. But Mai Lao also said that there was someone inside. If you don't open it and take a look, you really can't feel at ease.
"Ah?? Open the coffin again? What if there are demon insect corpses inside again? It's better not to take the risk and just burn it." Jenny was a little scared. After all, her leg was injured. Once in danger, she would not be able to save herself.
Save.
"I agree with Jenny, safety first, it's not worth the risk." Martin always insisted on burning the coffin immediately.
"I also agree to open the coffin. Our purpose is to burn the body, not the coffin. If there is no body inside, what is the use of burning it." It must be confirmed. Jiao Ba will not joke at this time. We are blindly
Burning the coffin could be a big mistake.
"Mr. Mai said there was someone inside, so why is there no body? I really don't know what you are thinking. Even though the coffin has been found, you still have to open it and just burn it on fire." Martin said with a cold face.
It's full of sarcasm and disdain.
Mai Lao looked at him and said, "There is someone. It doesn't mean that it is a corpse, but it may also be a living person, so the coffin must be opened. Zhongyi Changshan, open this coffin." Mai Lao finally couldn't hold it anymore, he had to give the orders.
It just works.
"Hey, Mr. Mai, do you really want to open the coffin?" Martin was still there.
Mai Lao had a cold face and said angrily, "Shut up and I'll leave you alone."
A few of us gathered around, and Jiao Ba was responsible for watching Jenny and Martin. It was enough for the three of us to open the coffin. This dark coffin was very big, with larger boards than the coffins used by ordinary people, and even larger than those found in the sunken ship before.
The coffin is larger, second only to Zheng He's large copper coffin. Judging from the size and wood of the coffin, it is indeed consistent with the identity of a wizard.
But it's really time to open the coffin, and I still don't have any confidence in my heart. I really don't know what terrible things are hidden in these six coffins. There must be a reason for the sudden disappearance of the ghost Gu people.
.
"Zhongyi, why are you in such a daze?" Mai Lao's voice sounded in my ears.
I came back to my senses and said, "Oh, it's nothing, I'm just a little tired and feel a little achy all over my body."
"Are you in a bad mental state? You're always in a daze. Are you okay?" Mr. Mai held my arm and asked worriedly.
I shook my head and said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine. I'm not a tough guy, so let's open the coffin."
The three of us took out our knives and first removed the nails on the coffin. But after all the nails were removed, suddenly, the coffin lid shook. This time it was not very obvious, and the sound was very small, as if
It's like someone is pushing up inside, and the coffin vibrates less. This means that I am in front of the coffin. If I were further away from the coffin, I wouldn't be able to notice it at all.
At this time, all three of us stopped. Chang Shan turned to me and asked, "Did you two see it? The coffin lid seemed to have moved just now."
"I saw it. It was indeed moving. There might be someone inside."
In fact, I was very conflicted in my heart. Fear was accompanied by excitement. I was afraid that there was a transformed corpse inside. If Jiao Ba really miscalculated, or the yin energy of the corpse was wrapped and did not penetrate into the coffin at all, but what I was excited about was, maybe
There are really living people inside, most likely Li Xin and the others.
"Are you scaring yourselves? Why didn't I see the coffin lid move?" Martin said behind me with a flashlight on.
"Shut up. If you say one more word, I will throw you up first and let the ghost Gu man greet you properly."
What Mr. Mai said shocked all of us. He was always polite to everyone, but we didn't expect that Martin would really annoy him these two times. Facing Mr. Mai's eyes as cold as a knife, Martin was stunned.
He didn't dare to reply a word, and his face turned red with anger. Jenny was still glaring at him from the side. Martin really talked too much.
The three of us waited for a few more minutes, but the coffin lid stopped shaking. What just happened was really like an hallucination. If Chang Shan and Mai Lao hadn't seen it, I would have thought I was insane.
, the power of this magic circle can completely turn a normal person into a nondescript person.
"Mr. Mai, the coffin lid won't move. Are we still waiting?" Chang Shan asked casually.
Mr. Mai was still so calm. He said calmly, "Don't worry about it for now. Let's push the coffin lid open. Just be careful."
Mai Lao asked Jiao Ba and the others to move back first to avoid real danger when the coffin was opened. After they were far away from the coffin, the three of us stood aside and lined up in a row. After Mai Lao let out a low roar, the three of us started to exert force at the same time.
