Chapter 718: Crossing the River in a Coffin

Professor Sun's expression turned extremely ugly as he looked at the corpses on the ground.

"These people were tortured to death. This is an execution ground!"

His words made people shudder. They didn't expect that Feng Shigu's methods were so cruel. He used torture to kill thousands of people to bury him. This method was so vicious that he looked like a cult leader!

Ji Changsheng frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.

"The number of victims should be far more than these."

When Feng Shigu led tens of thousands of people into the ancient tomb of King Wuling, no one came out alive. Those who followed him must have all become martyrs!

Yaomei turned pale with fright and asked, trembling slightly.

"But why would he do this?"

Ji Changsheng pondered for a moment and then replied.

"Maybe it's to complete some kind of evil ritual. Anyway, one thing is for sure. He is definitely not an earthly immortal who has achieved enlightenment, but a demon immortal!"

People couldn't help but change their expressions. They felt that the wind was blowing around the slaughterhouse, and they seemed to be able to vaguely hear the heart-rending cries of the dead.

Wang Kaixuan shrank his neck in fear and waved his hands.

"Stop studying these dead people and go find the underground palace quickly."

After sighing with emotion, the team continued to move forward.

After walking for another half hour, the underground river became wider and wider, and finally merged into a lake.

The end of the lake is endless, and the other half is hidden in darkness.

There are some large and small potholes on the lake shore, evenly distributed around the lake.

When everyone came forward to take a look, they saw that there were more than a hundred red-painted coffins placed in these pits.

As soon as Professor Sun saw the antiquities, he was immediately attracted and squatted down to observe carefully.

"Judging from the shape and preservation of the coffin, it dates from the Ming Dynasty. These people should also have been buried as sacrifices for the earthly immortals."

"These people have an unusual status and can be buried in coffins."

When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he immediately became interested. He came forward and pretended to study it, and then came to a conclusion.

"I understand. Most of these people are wealthy men. In order to pursue immortality, they were tricked by Feng Shigu into entering."

"How can a poor man afford such a good coffin? He must be a rich man!"

As he spoke, he took out the crowbar and spit on the palm of his hand, looking eager to try.

Professor Sun was shocked when he saw it.

"What are you doing?"

Wang Kaixuan grinned.

"Of course it's to open the coffin to make a fortune. These wealthy landlords stole the people's wealth during their lifetime. There must be a lot of gold and silver in the coffin!"

"I am just venting my anger on behalf of the exploited working people!"

After saying that, he pretended to jump into the hole.

Professor Sun quickly grabbed him and waved his hand.

"No, absolutely not!"

Wang Kaixuan frowned and said impatiently.

"These coffins belonging to wealthy landlords are not precious cultural relics, so you still want to take care of them? You are not from the Cultural Relics Bureau, so your control is too broad!"

Professor Sun shook his head helplessly.

"I'm not stopping you from getting rich, but I'm afraid that you'll get into trouble. The people buried in these coffins are not landlords, and they don't have the gold and silver you want!"

Wang Kaixuan said suspiciously.

"If it's not a landlord, who is that?"

Professor Sun pointed at the coffin and said.

"Look what's painted on that coffin?"

When everyone shined their flashlights, they saw a ferocious-looking man painted on the coffin, wearing a seven-star crown and a splendid robe. He held a sharp sword in his left hand and an evil ghost in his right hand, with the devil in his mouth. The evil ghost's head chewed his mouth full of blood, which was very scary.

When Hu Ba looked at it, his expression changed and he pulled Wang Kaixuan aside.

"Old Sun is not coaxing you, there is something very dangerous buried in this coffin!"

The strange and vicious man on the coffin is Zhong Kui. Zhong Kui is a folk ghost who specializes in eating all kinds of evil spirits.

The purpose of painting Zhong Kui eating ghosts on the coffin is to suppress the resentful spirits in the coffin!

Professor Sun said slowly with a complicated expression.

"These martyrs were buried alive and suffocated to death in their coffins, leaving a lingering resentment."

"In order to suppress resentment, I painted a portrait of Master Zhongkui."

"If you open the coffin rashly, you will be filled with resentment. Even if you don't die, you will be unlucky for half your life."

When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he gave up the idea of ​​opening the coffin to make a fortune.

"My dear, it's a good thing you reminded me, otherwise I would be a poor man in my next life."

Yaomei felt frightened for a while, but couldn't help her curiosity and asked.

"But why are these people buried alive?"

Professor Sun shook his head and said he didn't know.

Lin Shuangyue on the side thought for a while, then walked to Ji Changsheng and whispered.

"There's something weird about these coffins. Do you want to open them and take a look?"

Ji Changsheng's answer was somewhat beyond her expectations.

"It's not the time yet."

Lin Shuangyue's expression moved slightly, she nodded slightly and said nothing more.

When Wang Kaixuan saw that the coffins were not filled with landowners and were probably not rich in gold and silver, he immediately lost interest in these coffins.

"Let's go find the underground palace quickly and stay away from these unlucky things."

"Lao Hu, this underground river has come to an end. Where is the underground palace?"

Hu Bayi stretched out his hand and pointed across the lake.

"Going along the lake, of course, at the end of the lake."

As he spoke, he looked back at the coffins.

"These coffins can be used as boats."

Yaomei was immediately startled.

"Using a coffin as a boat? Doesn't it mean there's an evil spirit inside!"

Hu Bayi laughed and said.

"Don't be afraid, we have a master here who is more ruthless than Master Zhong Kui. No matter what evil spirit sees him, he will kneel down and kowtow."

Yaomei asked curiously.

"Who are you talking about?"

Hu Bayi looked at Ji Changsheng and said nothing, but his meaning was already very clear.

Wang Kaixuan blinked and asked with some confusion.

"But the coffin is so heavy, won't it sink?"

Hu Bayi smiled.

"Don't you understand this? Only ordinary coffins can sink, but this one can't."

These coffins are full of resentment, just like inflated balloons, offsetting the weight of the coffins themselves and making them float easily on the water.

Any coffin that can float on water must have something extraordinary inside.

Wang Kaixuan and Yaomei were stunned when they heard this. Fortunately, Mr. Ji was there to control the situation, so they dared to use this kind of coffin as a boat. If it were anyone else, they would not dare to do such a thing even to death.

Ji Changsheng smiled softly and said.

"Lao Hu, just do as you say."

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan immediately dragged out several coffins and pushed them into the water.

Everyone jumped on the coffin and headed across the lake.

The lake water is very turbid, almost a pool of black water, and you can't see the underwater situation at all.

When people walked to the middle of the lake, there was a sudden wave of waves on the water, as if something was about to come out!

Wang Kaixuan quickly raised his heavy crossbow and pointed it at the water.

"Everyone, be careful, there's a big guy!"

Before he finished speaking, a black shadow broke through the water and jumped high!
