Wu Ming just glanced at the golden coffin and then turned his head. Although the restrictions on it were vague, they gave him an inexplicable feeling of palpitations, indicating that there was a terrifying existence hidden inside.
The most intuitive manifestation is that even with his strong will and powerful spiritual consciousness comparable to that of a semi-saint, the patterns on the golden coffin seemed to come alive, not only distorting his sight, but also seeming to distort his vision.
His mind was withdrawn.
Although it was just a glimpse, the signs that there seemed to be countless demons and ghosts rushing out of the wriggling patterns showed that the existence inside the golden coffin was anything but simple.
"The copper-horned golden coffin, the demon clan's secret pattern, and part of it are..."
With the inheritance of the inner demon in hand, Wu Ming's powerful memory was able to recognize at a glance that only one third of it was the secret pattern curse seal of the demon race, and part of it was the evil way of the human race.
But the last part, which is the curse pattern that causes the distortion of vision, is extremely strange and at the same time feels familiar, as if it has been seen somewhere before.
It’s not that I’ve forgotten it, but I’ve seen it occasionally, but it didn’t leave a deep impression on me.
Fortunately, Wu Ming already had a photographic memory, and after thinking for a while, he remembered the origin of this rune!
"Netherworld Corpse Curse!"
The reason why I came into contact with such strange curse patterns was that I met Sui Miao, the exorcist of the Ten Thousand Bones Cave in Southern Xinjiang, in the Emperor's Cemetery, and he also took away the demon soul coffin held by the Blood Sword Envoy of the Demon Cult.
Later, when I came out of the secret realm, I deliberately searched for records on this aspect, but unfortunately I found very little.
All we know is that the earliest source of this curse came from the vast outer Netherworld on the other side!
Wu Ming didn't care much at first, he just thought it was strange. After all, it was an outer realm related to the soul. There were even rumors that people would go to this place after death.
But later, the Three Saints transformed into Nirvana and gradually unraveled the inheritance of the inner demon. The information obtained was beyond imagination. It is said that even Demon Star Tianyuan did not dare to easily provoke the Netherworld, which also reflects its power from the side.
It's just that even the Demon Realm in China was previously classified as top secret and rarely passed down to the world. If the Demonic Tribulation had not broken out, not to mention ordinary people, 90% of the warriors below the Grand Master would not have known about it.
Not to mention the even more mysterious Nether Realm!
Seriously speaking, this field belongs to that type. Although I am not in the Jianghu, there are legends about me everywhere in the Jianghu!
Of course, it is limited to legends, because no one has ever touched it, and there are even very few records.
What I didn't expect was that after a few years, I could see this ghostly curse pattern again with mysterious origins and related to the power of living beings such as souls.
"Now that I think about it, more than 70% of the runes on the demon soul coffin belong to the Netherworld Curse, and less than 30% are secret demon curses. Although they are similar to this copper-horned gold coffin, the difference is huge. Come to think of it,
The functions must be completely different!"
Wu Ming's eyes flickered and fell on the five strange-looking people again.
Although the auras of these five people are different, with his current eyesight, he can naturally tell that the five people's skills are similar, it can be said that they are exactly the same, but they seem to have practiced in different directions, which has caused the current abnormality.
It is the least popular, followed by demonic aura, and has a strong ghost aura, but it also has a putrid and decaying aura, which is corpse aura!
It can be said that it seems to be an aggregation of all kinds of evil spirits!
In addition to the following Rat Man, there was a strange man who was as tall and thin as a bamboo pole but shaped like a goat, another one who was as fat as a pig, and the remaining two looked like a chicken and a dog.
With Wu Ming's eyesight, he could only roughly tell that the female was a pig, and the other four were all male.
"Could it be the twelve zodiac signs?"
No wonder Wu Ming thought so. After all, these five people looked so weird and similar to various poultry, and they were all from the Chinese zodiac.
But then I thought about it and felt something was wrong. After all, the information Zhang Yi had sent back earlier involved a five, and here happened to be five people, unless someone else came later.
But Wu Ming secretly observed that in addition to the golden coffin hanging on the stone platform, there were only five vaguely stone platforms about a foot high at the bottom, which happened to be where these five people were sitting.
Although they were very far apart, Wu Ming had extraordinary hearing and could understand lip reading. The five weirdos spoke Chinese dialect. Even though their accents were extremely thick and strange and harsh, he could still vaguely distinguish the general content.
"Golden Rat, Wood Sheep, you guys are a little late this time!"
Among them, there is a weird way like a chicken cub.
"Jie Jie, although you came early, turkey, your harvest may not be as good as my harvest!"
The rat monster said.
“I encountered some troubles on the way and spent a lot of effort, but I also gained something!”
The sheep monster said.
"Really? Is it possible..."
The chicken weirdo rolled his eyes, and his obviously malicious eyes wandered over the two of them.
The other two weirdos seemed to be familiar with this scene and had no intention of stopping it.
The weird dog was just doing it, closing his eyes and concentrating, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, and he was not alarmed when the sky fell, but the weird pig kept stuffing food into his mouth, watching the three of them bickering happily.
Although the pig monster is not as terrifying as the other four, in addition to being ugly and deformed, he also has a sense of naivety due to his obesity.
But the food in its mouth was terrifying. It was a baby that could only be three or five years old at most.
"Metal, wooden sheep, turkey?"
Wu Ming frowned when he heard this, and a strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes, "Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, could it be the five ghost magic skills in the rumors?"
After carefully looking at the five weirdos again and combining various clues, it becomes more and more possible!
Silently listening to the three people arguing, although the last two did not participate, Wu Ming also got some useful information, and his previous guesses gradually became clearer.
"The time has come!"
After an unknown amount of time, the weird dog who had been concentrating with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes, and a ray of frightening light flashed away.
Before he finished speaking, the three weirdos stopped making noise. Even the pig weirdo who had never stopped talking put the half-eaten baby into his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp. He rarely wiped the blood stains on his body and stood respectfully.
rise.
Buzz!
The golden coffin, which had been silent all this time, suddenly shook. The mysterious lines on it released three colors of black, gray, and red light, intertwining into a flame that looked like thousands of palms. It was extremely weird and evil.
Moreover, the golden coffin suddenly rose into the air, and five strange rune chains were discovered from the lines, which were connected to the small stone platform at the feet of the five people.
Strange runes also lit up on the stone platform, and they moved around, but no matter how they moved, they were always centered on the golden coffin.
But what made Wu Ming's pupils shrink was that the five weirdos moving along the stone platform all took off the rag bags they were carrying or wrapped around their waists, and took out a square of strange mahogany coffins.
Click, click, click!
On the stone platform that covers an area of 10,000 feet, pillars with runes engraved on them rise up. Whenever they rise, if any one of the five people approaches, a coffin will be placed on it.
What makes people's scalp numb is that in just a short tea time, more than a hundred coffins were placed and dropped back down again in an instant.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that there would be so many coffins hidden under the flat stone platform.
"This coffin is not an ordinary thing. If the so-called Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night were used to capture human warriors from the beginning of the Demonic Tribulation, the number would be astronomical.
Of course, even if he acted cautiously in the early stage and did not want to attract attention, even if he is about to complete his plan now and no longer has any worries, it will not be too little.
That being said... hiss!"
Seeing the five weirdos placing no less than 300 coffins on the stone pillars, Wu Ming took a breath. Although he was not afraid, he was still shocked.
You know, even if this is just the result of the five monsters' work for one month, it will be amazing enough after three years!
But that's it. I don't know how many great masters, and even semi-saints, if they are all captured here, then this is obviously used to support the copper-horned golden coffin. How powerful will the existence inside be?
"No wonder Zhang Yi is here!"
Wu Ming frowned, a solemn look flashed in his eyes, "But according to what Jia Zhengjing said, there are two semi-saints under him to worship, and one of them is the Second Realm Divine Treasure Semi-saint. Even though this weirdo has hundreds of ghosts walking at night.
With the help of Mo Yun, ordinary semi-saints can be left behind, so the two of them working together will not..."
"Could it be that the other party used some means to induce them, and then the five of them joined forces? Or was it the being in the golden coffin who took action?"
He couldn't help but be careless. With his current strength, ordinary Half-Saints would definitely not be able to do anything to him. Even if he faced an extremely powerful Half-Saint, even though there was no chance of winning, escaping would not be a problem.
But now it seems that even if the being in the golden coffin is unable to take action, the five weirdos working together are at least equivalent to an ordinary semi-saint.
Even, with the help of weird skills, if you know a little more about the art of combined attacks, it will not be a problem to defeat ordinary half-saints.
After all, there is no so-called "Hundred Ghosts Nightwalking Demonic Cloud" to assist here, but there is no guarantee that there will be a large formation here. Whether it is demons or Netherworld secret arts, they are very restrained against human beings and other flesh and blood creatures.
Of course, Wu Ming is not included in this list, but if he had a fight with an ordinary semi-saint, even if he could win, the outcome would definitely not be much better!
While watching, something changed again on the stone platform.
Buzz!
However, the golden coffin released three-color demonic flames, which instantly covered the entire stone platform. Tentacle-like flames licked the place where the stone pillar had just appeared.
Ahhh!
Indistinctly, a shrill wail could be heard, which was creepy and shuddering!
"Are they all alive?"
Wu Ming's pupils shrank and he slowly stepped back. He took out something in his hand and was waiting to use his secret technique to examine it.
call!
In the blink of an eye, all the tentacled demonic flames retracted into the golden coffin, but as if they were overwhelmed, they suddenly fell towards the stone platform. Just as they were about to fall to the ground, five weirdos swooped up to hold them back.
boom!
What is astonishing is that these beings who can be said to be the ultimate beings under the semi-saints are actually hunched over under the pressure of the coffin, their faces are ferocious and twisted, blue veins are protruding, as if they are overwhelmed, and their whole bodies make a crackling sound, and there is also a vague crunching sound.
transmitted from the body.
But even so, the five people showed no signs of letting go. Instead, they held the golden coffin firmly, as if it were the most cherished treasure, and moved it back to its original position little by little.
Between the golden coffin and the five weirdos, layers of twisted ripples formed within a radius of tens of feet, as if the entire space had been shaken.
"The five ghosts carrying the coffin are indeed the kind of ghost magic that was rumored!"
Silently feeling the special fluctuation, Wu Ming's eyes flashed.
