Chapter 816 Open the coffin!
Li Tian...was actually eaten by a catfish?
This scene made me dumbfounded, my heart was trembling wildly inside my body.
To be honest, this ending was too unexpected for me. I thought that I would have to deal with Li Tian myself and break up his three souls and seven spirits, but what I never expected was that this person who made Li Qinghai and the Hundred Flowers Alliance take so much pains and risk their lives to send him to Sima Cuo's tomb to resurrect, would be eaten by a catfish in the end.
This ending... makes me feel very happy, but also feels a little...funny.
"I'm afraid Li Qinghai didn't expect that his son would end up like this before he died?"
I took a deep breath, then squinted my eyes and stared at the corpse-raising pool.
But strangely enough, after swallowing Li Tian's body and his three souls and seven spirits, the catfish never appeared again, as if it had taken a nap after a full meal.
But why is there a catfish here?
"Could it be... also for the purpose of raising a dragon?" I frowned.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that carp jumps through the dragon gate, but that is a carp, but what is raised here is a catfish...
I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what the intention was. In the end, I simply stopped thinking about it and raised my head to look at the coffin above my head.
The empty coffin was still floating there quietly, without any movement, as if it was an empty coffin.
I vaguely remember that when I first entered the ancient tomb in the back mountain of our village, the existence in the huge coffin began to move, as if the existence in the coffin sensed that someone had broken into his tomb and wanted to break out of the coffin and kill the person who disturbed his sleep.
Later, my uncle suppressed the coffin with Yin Wu Lei, so that the existence in the coffin did not come out.
But why is this coffin so quiet? Several people came to steal the house, but he was indifferent?
"Could it be that the coffin is empty and Sima Cuo, who is buried inside, is long gone?"
Once this thought came up, it could no longer be suppressed, especially since Xie Tianxiang and the Soul Guiding Old Man were members of the Hundred Flowers Alliance, and they were very likely to have colluded with Zhao Gao.
"Should I open the coffin and take a look?" I frowned, hesitated for a while, and then a pair of dark golden wings immediately spread out from behind me.
Then, I shook my wings violently, and the whole person rose from the ground and instantly arrived above the coffin.
I did not land directly on the coffin, but suspended in mid-air, squinting my eyes, carefully looking at the coffin under my feet and the four bronze mirrors around the coffin.
And at this glance, I really saw a clue.
I saw that the coffin was supposed to be sealed with honey wax, but now, the honey wax that sealed the gaps in the coffin had been peeled off, and it was obvious that the coffin had been opened before.
"Did Sima Cuo crawl out by himself, or... did someone put something inside after opening it?"
I slowly approached the coffin and carefully looked at the bronze mirrors around it. Then I found that the backs of the four bronze mirrors were actually engraved with dense talismans, which were obviously used to suppress evil spirits.
"This bronze mirror should be a secret treasure made by the Taoists, which is specially used to ward off evil spirits and corpses, but who hung it here?"
It is not easy to make a mirror to ward off evil spirits. Not to mention how difficult it is to carve the talismans on it, the carriers of these talismans, these bronze mirrors, are quite difficult to find.
First of all, it must be an ancient mirror, and secondly, it must have never been used to reflect people.
It is precisely because of these two extremely harsh conditions that Taoists rarely produce mirrors to ward off evil spirits.
But there are four of them here at once, and these four bronze mirrors are obviously old. Not to mention their functions, the value of these bronze mirrors alone is inestimable.
As the saying goes, money can move people's hearts. Although I am not a greedy person, these four evil-suppressing mirrors are too precious. For a moment, I really wanted to take these four bronze mirrors away.
But then, I suppressed this thought.
There must be a reason why these four bronze mirrors are hung here. If I take them away rashly, it may cause some kind of change.
With this thought, I took a deep breath, but at this moment, I suddenly heard a muffled "dong".
In this dark and silent ancient tomb, this sound can be said to be very clear. The moment it sounded, I was immediately shocked and the hairs on my body almost exploded.
I heard the sound clearly, it actually came from inside the coffin.
I stared at the coffin below me with my eyes wide open, and then I instinctively flapped my wings and flew away from the coffin.
Almost at the moment I flew away, there was another "bang" sound from the coffin, and then I saw a faint smell of corpse coming out from the gaps in the coffin.
"What's going on? Could it be that... the thing in the coffin has woken up?" I was shocked and thought, damn, if Sima Cuo is really still in the coffin, then his realm should be at the same level as Meng Tian, that is, a flying zombie.
Although my skills have improved by leaps and bounds during this period, I have no chance of escaping from the flying zombie, let alone winning.
Suddenly
, a series of dull sounds rang out, and along with it, there seemed to be a heavy gasp...
The next second, there was a "bang", and the coffin shook violently, and even the lid of the coffin trembled.
It felt as if something in the coffin wanted to crawl out!
I was shocked and turned around to run.
But at this moment, the bronze mirrors hanging on the four sides of the coffin shook violently, and then four green lights emanated, all covering the coffin.
When the four green lights enveloped the coffin, the heavy breathing suddenly disappeared, and the coffin did not move any more. Even the faint smell of corpse slowly shrank back into the coffin.
I frowned when I saw this scene, wondering what was going on.
If the person lying in the coffin was really Sima Cuo, then with his realm, the four-sided evil-suppressing mirror could not have such a great effect.
Not to mention four sides, even ten or dozens of sides would not be able to suppress a flying zombie.
However, these four bronze mirrors did indeed suppress the existence in the coffin.
The next moment, my heart suddenly shook, because I suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Could it be... that the person sealed in the coffin is not Sima Cuo, but someone else? But who could it be?"
I squinted my eyes and stared at the coffin closely, with countless thoughts flashing through my mind.
The coffin had calmed down, as if everything that had just happened was my illusion.
After a long while, I shook my wings and quickly came to the coffin.
At this moment, I suddenly made a decision, which was... to open the coffin and see what was going on!
I took a deep breath, then reached out, grabbed the edge of the coffin, and pushed hard.
"Buzz..."
accompanied by a dull friction sound, the coffin was also pushed open a crack by me.
