Confused Coral Tree

Zhang Yan put down his backpack, took a deep breath and turned his head to Zhang Qiling seriously, "Get ready, I'm going to knock on the tree, and you'll ring the bell when I count to three."

Zhang Qiling nodded and got ready, but Zhang Yan thought of something at this moment, took out another bundle of ropes, unfolded them in his hands, and began to count "three..."

"two……"

"one……"

As soon as the word fell, Zhang Yan slapped the coral tree trunk with his hand, "Ding ding... ding lingling..."

The bells all over the tree suddenly rang, and the invisible fluctuations immediately spread to the surroundings along with the distant, ethereal and complex sound. At the same time, the bronze bell in Zhang Qiling's hand also began to shake. Although there was no sound, it was well centered. Compensating with the fluctuations coming here, when Wu Xie and Fatty Wang heard the sound of the bell, they felt that the sound, which obviously sounded ethereal and far away, was a little inexplicably uncomfortable. Zhang Yan glanced at the two people behind Zhang Qiling, and found that there was no sound. After asking any questions, he continued to pat the coral tree regularly to vibrate the bell on the tree. The fat man put Aning against the wall behind him, and then whispered in Wu Xie's ear, "Innocent, Can you see what this Taoist priest is doing now?"

Wu Xie also shook her head, "I don't know, but the sound of the bell... I seem to have heard it somewhere"

At this time, Zhang Qiling in front of them turned around and said to Wu Xie, "Do you still remember the bell hanging on the corpse in the corpse cave?"

When Zhang Qiling said this, Wu Xie immediately remembered what happened a few weeks ago. The big corpse he encountered had such a bell hanging on its tail. Thinking of what happened in the corpse cave, Wu Xie immediately understood why Both Zhang Qiling and Fatty Wang didn't want people to touch the bells. At that time, just one of them had already made a boatload of people so fascinated that they couldn't control themselves. There are more than forty or fifty at least here. Thinking of this, Wu Xie quickly looked at it as if it was a little protective Zhang Yan didn't know anything, but seeing that there was nothing wrong with Zhang Yan other than frowning and rubbing his temples with the hand holding the rope, he breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Qiling saw that Wu Xie remembered, and also looked at Zhang Yan. , and then said: "There must be something strange in the corpse cave. The corpse site was originally a huge tomb, but I don't know how it has something to do with Wang Zanhai."

The fat man had heard Wu Xie talk about this when he was in the Lu Palace before, and knowing the origin of the bell, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Yan, and after making sure it was all right, he wondered, "Did you read it wrong, why did this pre-Warring States thing appear here again?" , this is too much of a coincidence. Could it be that this Wang Zanghai is also a grave robber?"

"In this way, there is also a possibility." Zhang Qiling thought for a while with a blank face, and said seriously: "No one knows what he did in the early years, and he is proficient in wind and water. If he robs tombs, he should be able to do it with ease. However, I remember His family background is relatively prominent, his family has been Feng Shui masters for several generations, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing, so they will never do such a lowly job."

Zhang Qiling didn't change his face when he talked about being mean, as if he didn't realize that he had scolded the other people, but Wu Xie smiled helplessly and said, "I don't think it's possible. What kind of sign is it so that future generations will avoid it when they come here, have you seen this kind of thing here?"

Zhang Qiling shook his head, "I was paying attention just now, and there really isn't any sign at all."

Wu Xie heard that such an unfathomable person as Poker Fing said that there was no such thing, so he was sure that there was no such thing, and said: "Then why does this explain that there is such a thing here? Could it be that he is like an antique, and put his beloved His collection is also used to be buried with him?"

"We came all the way, and we didn't see any other antiques. What you said is not right. I think it may be another situation." The fat man seemed to think of something, and his face showed complacency. A kind of people often come across ancient tombs, do you know what it is?"

Wu Xie woke up immediately after hearing this: "You mean, he dug these things on the construction site while he was working on the project?"

Fatty nodded: "This man was the biggest foreman at the time, and he might encounter such a situation. Just go back and check the information, and you will know whether he has been to the Guazi Temple in Shandong at that time."

Wu Xie looked at the lanyard made of copper wire on the bell, and just about to say something, Zhang Yan said, "Shut up, hold your breath, it's coming"

Wu Xie was taken aback for a moment, who is it?Who's coming?However, because of the experience during this period, he reacted a lot faster, and he was puzzled, so he quickly followed Zhang Yan's words. Covering Aning's mouth and nose and covering his own with one hand, the four of them held their breath and looked towards the dark part of the passage silently. The faint light reflected by the bell, but after only a few minutes, Wu Xie and Fatty couldn't stand it anymore. They didn't feel it when they kept talking just now, but now there is only the weird ringing of the bell, and only the rendered voice on the tree. After seeing a strange light source, the two of them still couldn't help becoming a little irritable. The fat man, who was more irritable, couldn't help dragging A Ning to get up and open his mouth to ask Zhang Yan when he had to wait, but he was suddenly caught. Zhang Qiling turned around, covered his mouth, and pointed to the front. The fat man looked at the dark place, and was startled. Two steps away from the ground with the bell thrown in front of him, at some point, an open door came silently. The black mummy with red eyes stared straight at the coral tree in front, and was about to step towards the bell area, but Zhang Qiling was still a bit late. The moment the fat man opened his mouth to exhale, the mummy immediately As if feeling something, it suddenly retracted its feet and stopped still. It stared at the fat man accurately with red eyes, and at the same time made a hoarse and weird sound that was not human at all, and it didn't even seem to come from its throat.

Seeing the scarlet eyes suddenly looking over, the fat man shrank his neck immediately, the fat on his body trembled twice, and he quickly hid behind Zhang Qiling.Zhang Qiling turned his head slightly to look at the fat man, instead of moving away, he stretched out his empty hand to stop him and Aning, and silently leaned towards Wu Xie, who was away from the mummy's gaze.

"Hey...hey...Qing Yanzi, it must be you." The mummy smiled strangely and called in Ming Dynasty official dialect, but it seemed that it couldn't see the other people who were still standing, and only stared at the one standing before the fat man. direction, began to shake non-stop, the black hard skin on his body was cracked, and was falling off piece by piece, revealing the bloody inside, and at the same time raised his claws and made a posture of preparing to pounce in the fat man's direction Zhang Yan "..."

Zhang Yan, who was a little dizzy from the noise of the bell, glanced blankly at Fatty Wang who knew he had caused trouble again, and who was sneaking behind Zhang Qiling with a guilty expression, then quickly retracted his neck and looked down at the floor. I was unable to be angry with this fat man, and suddenly I understood what it was like to raise a husky that only surrendered to the enemy, and it was the fat one.

Zhang Yan glanced regretfully at the simple version of the Confused God Copying Spirit Formation on the ground, and he was only one step away... He sighed heavily inwardly, feeling even more puzzled, this thing actually knew him?Does that really have anything to do with me?Attract it yourself, maybe try to lure it forward a little more?Thinking of this, he immediately uttered a voice, and replied plainly, "It's wrong, I'm here."

The mummy that had lost half of its hard skin immediately looked in Zhang Yan's direction, and smiled strangely, "Hehe... the Zhang family is the most popular, right? Qing Yanzi, you and the Zhang family are unfamiliar with each other, hehe...hehe, I also want to thank you for waking me up..." While speaking, instead of advancing, Zhang Yan quickly backed away, Zhang Yan looked at the mummy who suddenly backed away after looking over, secretly thankful that he had made extra preparations, although it was impossible to know what he wanted I know something, but at least I can't let this thing go away...

As soon as the mummy made a sound and moved back, he threw the rope towards the mummy without hesitation. The mummy instantly turned its head and body to avoid the first blow, but Zhang Yan shook his hands quickly without stopping. With a pull, the rope that had deviated quickly and strangely hooked back around the neck of the mummy, and pulled it towards Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan, who had circled the neck of the mummy, did not stop other movements, and his body quickly slid to the neck of the mummy at the same time. In front of the mummy on the way to drag it over, he sideways avoided one of the mummy's claws stabbing towards his heart, and the other hand that was not pulling the rope firmly grasped the other claw of the mummy that immediately stabbed towards the mechanism box of his abdomen , and at the same time pulled the rope down heavily, forcing the mummy to bend down and bow its head, then used its elbow to forcefully hit the mummy's neck with a "Kaka!"

"Hiss..." Wu Xie looked at another ruthless person who completed a coherent movement within two seconds, and then at the mummy whose head fell to the ground without any strength to fight back. He subconsciously touched his neck, and suddenly felt He and the fat man are very lucky. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look back at the fat man who sneaked from Zhang Qiling to behind him without making a sound after seeing Zhang Yan's fierce action. Fatty, why didn't he realize that he might be settled afterwards when he repeatedly jumped to his death?

At this moment, because no one was shaking the bell, the bell on the coral tree also slowly stopped shaking. As the sound stopped, Zhang Qiling also stopped shaking the bell on his hand, and then stopped cautiously on the spot for a few seconds, making sure that there was no problem. Lifting his feet, he walked towards Zhang Yan, who had been squatting in front of the mummy after carefully putting it down, not knowing what he was doing. He understood what the mummy said, and wanted to ask Zhang Yan something.

And Wu Xie, who was hooked by the mummy's few words that he didn't understand and was so curious, also took a step tentatively. After seeing that no one was stopping him, he quickly walked forward to see what Zhang Yan was doing, and by the way, he wanted to ask him What was the mummy talking about just now, but when he got close to see clearly, he was immediately disgusted by the scene in front of him and the stench emanating from it, so he couldn't help but took two steps back. Seeing what Zhang Yan was doing, but when he saw it, he immediately looked disgusted and couldn't help but yelled, "I said priest, although we are fighting against each other, let's respect the corpse anyway, although this mummy comrade is It's weird, but it obviously has no treasure in its belly, and you twisted the head off. Are you doing research on disembowelling and disembowelment in a hurry? Or do you think there are not enough disgusting things in this place? Human archaeologists don't bring the scene What about stripping the body? Hey, there’s really something fucking there.”

After dismembering the mummy and carefully taking out an eight-treasure box to check, Zhang Yanhuang, who was still a little dizzy, couldn't help but glared at the dead fat man who had done everything he could, with a black face and a serious threat To "Fatty, is your skin itchy again? I haven't settled with you for what happened just now, or I will give you a stretch now?"

While talking to the fat man, he handed the box in his hand to Wu Xie, who was disgusted and curious after seeing the box, "It's pure explosives inside, be careful if you want to look at it."

Wu Xie, who was a little excited just now and even forgot what he wanted to ask at the beginning, stopped his outstretched hand when he heard this, "Is there explosives in it?" Wu Xie subconsciously finished asking before remembering when Pokerfing was talking about memories Did you say that there is a box inside the seated golden body in the middle of the model just now? Could it be that this mummy is the weird one that Poker Bottle said before?

The fat man hid behind Zhang Qiling and called out to Zhang Yan who had been staring at him, "Taoist, what are you doing staring at me? I made a small mistake in that matter just now, but the result is not bad, at least people Are you still alive and kicking? If it doesn’t work, Fatty, I can give up the mental injury fee you owe me as compensation... If it doesn’t work, you can just say what you want to do, and I will let you do it like this... But let’s talk first Okay, we only sell art, not body! You can’t hit people again, let alone chop me up, Fat Lord, I still want to keep this fat body for the winter.”

Hearing this, Wu Xie immediately shook his head angrily, this fat man, he still doesn't forget to play tricks at this time, is he really afraid that Zhang Yan won't beat him up?

Zhang Yan heheed twice, "Bring me the bag first, and then we can talk about compensation."

The fat man shook his face, "Then you can't sneak up on me again by lifting the collar of my shirt," he said, facing Zhang Yan and walking backwards to the place where the bag was put, and then brought Zhang Yan's bag in front of him, "Here it is, Is it okay?"

Zhang Yan looked cold, "Take out the needle bag, the bottom black porcelain bottle, and the gauze inside."

Fatty obediently followed suit and gave the things to Zhang Yan, curled his lips and asked, "Now tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

Zhang Yan didn't speak immediately, but first wiped his hands and the box with gauze with a disgusted face, then took out a few needles and fiddled with the box in his hand a few times, and then handed it to Wu Xie again, "Now as long as you don't fall on the ground it won't explode"

After Wu Xie said "Thank you brother" and took the box, Zhang Yan pointed to the blackened and corroded skin on the naked part of his body after being splashed with blood-red liquid from the mummy, and said to the fat man, "Damn fat man I don’t make things difficult for you, you will pay for my medical expenses and living expenses after I go out.”

The fat man immediately relaxed, and patted his big fat legs, "Hey, what's the matter, why don't you just order... some compensation, just be a fat man and I spend money to avoid disasters... But try to give me some friendship price

Zhang Yan snorted twice, picked up the black bottle given by the fat man just now, opened it, and dropped a few drops of the water inside on the body of the mummy that he had gathered together, "Zi——" I saw that the mummy was instantly corroded , In just a few minutes, the whole body turned into a pool of black water, leaving only the tattered clothes wrapped outside.

"Hiss!" The fat man gasped when he saw this scene. "Taoist priest, you are a bit powerful. It's a must-have for killing people and stealing goods. Why haven't I seen you use it before?"

"Hey, fat man, what are you doing so nonsense? What are you doing to kill people and steal goods? Can you think of something better?" Wu Xie, who was also surprised at the side, felt helpless when he heard what the fat man said. He was just an ordinary little boss. But I can't bear the stimulation of killing people and stealing goods.

Zhang Yan also shook his head, "I'm going to kill people to get more money, and I'll kill you fat man first, and then I'll use all the corpse water on you."

"Tch, what's wrong with me again, I'm going to be active, you guys are targeting this eloquent and quick-witted young man who is jealous of me... Okay, why don't I shut up, look at you like that, your eyes are going to stare Out of the frame" Seeing Wu Xie and Zhang Yan glaring at him, the fat man bared his lips in dissatisfaction, his mouth turned up to Lao Gao, Zhang Yan sighed, ignored the dead fat man who started to play tricks, and went up and down carefully After looking at the coral tree, he took back the bronze bell from the hand of Zhang Qiling who had been staring at him silently. While shaking it, he stepped on the flowerpot with one foot and planed the pebbles and soil on the surface with the other hand. Finally, he pulled out the whole coral tree and threw it aside, "Zhang Yan, what are you doing?" Seeing Zhang Yan's movements, Wu Xie was even more puzzled, he found that since entering After entering the hole, Zhang Yan's behavior became more and more weird every time, which made him more and more puzzled, even more confusing than the boring oil bottle next to him whose age was a mystery.

Zhang Yan did not reply to Wu Xie's words. After throwing away the coral tree, Zhang Yan brought the bell back to his neck, then continued to dig up the soil, and finally dug out a 15 to 20 cm long and 5 cm wide bell. A black log-shaped seamless box, the fat man looked at the box, his eyes lit up, and he immediately leaned over, "Taoist priest, you are so skillful! You can find good treasures here, quickly open it and see what's inside?" "

Zhang Qiling also saw the box, his originally calm eyes could not help but flicker, he seemed to have seen some of the patterns on it somewhere...

Zhang Yan held the box upside down, the light weight made him silent for a while, and finally pressed a few places with a fluke, and the box opened automatically, but there was nothing inside.

"Hey, damn it, why is this box empty? In such a hidden place, there is a bastard ahead of you!" Fatty Wang stretched his neck full of anticipation, and was immediately disappointed.
