“This coffin must not be moved,” Blackie shook his head, then took out an ink line from his pocket and continued, “If you want to enter the tomb, the only way is to move this coffin. You guys will have to listen to my commands, or the consequences will be unimaginable.”
The group nodded silently, and then they saw Blackie place the Soul-Suppressing Lamp on the upper left side of the stone coffin. He pulled out a black ink line from the inkwell, nailed it to one end of the stone coffin, and then pulled the ink line straight up to the stone coffin and flicked it down.
With a 'hum', the ink line left a black mark on the stone coffin. At that moment, a cold wind blew in from somewhere, almost extinguishing the soul-suppressing lamp on the stone coffin, and the flames flickered eerily.
“It’s Ghost Blows Out the Light. There’s something unclean here,” one of them said, pulling out a bronze mirror from his pocket and shining the flashlight beam at the stone coffin.
The bronze mirror reflected on the stone coffin. As the person moved up and down, a dark shadow appeared in the reflective bronze mirror, but it was very blurry and indistinct, like a phantom.
The men, being seasoned veterans in this line of work, remained calm. One of them opened his backpack and took out a long object wrapped in red cloth. Inside was a pig-slaughtering knife, a rusty one, but with conspicuous bloodstains. The men immediately felt a strong killing intent assaulting their bodies, making them tremble with fear. There was no doubt that this was a murder weapon imbued with heavy killing intent.
This knife has not only killed pigs and cattle, but it has also clearly killed people, and not just one or two. There's a folk saying that ghosts fear evil people, let alone a murderous weapon.
Sure enough, the yin wind disappeared, and the blurry black shadow in the bronze mirror also disappeared. At this time, Hei Ye had finished marking the ink lines on the stone coffin, nine horizontal and nine vertical lines. If you look closely, you will find that the ink lines are embedded in the stone coffin, just like ropes wrapped around it.
The others all knew that this was Blackie's unique skill, which was said to have been passed down from an ancient sect.
The eerie blue flames on the soul-suppressing lamp flickered, and Blackie said in a low voice, "On my command, begin moving the coffin."
The stone coffin weighed over a thousand pounds, and it took several people a lot of effort to move it, revealing a square hidden door. A chilling wind blew out, accompanied by a howling sound. Blackie gestured for the group to stop, then took out a yellow talisman, chanted incantations, and the talisman spontaneously combusted before Blackie pushed it inside.
Of the group, only the Monkey King had seen Blackie's true skills, which wasn't surprising. The others were secretly shocked, as Blackie's kung fu was extraordinary.
The yellow rune was injected, and the howling wind inside immediately stopped. When Blackie turned on his flashlight, the group discovered that below was a small path of blue stone steps that stretched down for at least a hundred meters.
"You guys hold the rope up here, I'll go down first," Blackie said in a deep voice.
Hei Ye tied the rope around his waist, held the Soul-Suppressing Lamp in one hand and a flashlight in the other, and walked down the steps with light steps. What was surprising was that he walked on the bluestone steps without making a sound, as if he were walking in the air. The people above were all ashamed of their own abilities.
It took about ten minutes before Blackie stopped and used his flashlight to signal that the others could go down. The Monkey King was the last to go down. As he walked up the steps, he suddenly felt a chilling wind, heard several sounds like collisions below, and his flashlight beam flickered, as if someone was fighting.
Based on his years of experience following Master Hei in this line of work, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven felt a bad premonition: "Could they have encountered something down there?"
Without a second thought, the Monkey King quickly ran down to a huge cave with a stone-paved floor. To his surprise, the people he had invited were gathered around a stone sculpture, looking mesmerized and absorbed in the moment. But Blackie was nowhere to be seen.
Two strange and inexplicable things
"Not good!" The Great Sage Equaling Heaven knew in his heart that something must have happened. He had followed Master Hei for many years and had seen countless strange and terrifying things in the ancient tomb. But now Master Hei seemed to have vanished into thin air. The Great Sage Equaling Heaven knew that Master Hei would not abandon him unless it was absolutely necessary.
But the situation was still unclear. He had invited these people and knew their backgrounds very well, so he didn't expect them to betray him. But where was Blackie? Or was there something fishy going on...? Thinking of this, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven didn't dare to breathe, and the situation became dangerous.
Without making a sound, the Monkey King also walked over and began to look at the stone carving. It was a statue of a Bodhisattva, very similar to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but with a ferocious expression, like the incarnation of a demon.
At this moment, one of them suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Could this be the Yin God worshipped by the ancient Shu people?"
“That should be it. The ancient Shu people were once powerful, but they suddenly disappeared for some unknown reason. Their civilization was lost along with it, and the gods they worshipped were also lost to the long river of history. If this is really a Yin god, then this should be a sacrificial site of the ancient Shu people. There is a legend that the ancient Shu people were descendants of immortals…” another person said.
Upon hearing this, the faces of the group lit up with extreme excitement, clearly indicating that they had learned something. They completely ignored the Monkey King, as if he were invisible.
Puzzled, the Monkey King walked deeper into the cave. His footsteps echoed clearly in the empty space, and he could even hear his own breathing. A bad premonition grew stronger; he had to find Blackie now.
As he walked, he felt a chill run down his spine. He instinctively sensed a pair of cold, sinister eyes watching him from the shadows. On instinct, the Monkey King shone his flashlight to the left. When he looked closely, he gasped in shock. Less than ten meters away, a dark figure stood there, its entire body black so that its features were obscured. Only its eyes were cold and sinister, as if it were scrutinizing a dead man.
