Ghost Blowing Lantern II

At this time, Shirley Yang had pulled out the remnant armor stuck on Sun Jiuye's shoulder. The copper corrosion was covered with barbs. With a tug, a piece of flesh, flesh and bones were torn off immediately. Blood spattered everywhere and collapsed. It was all over our bodies and faces, but Sun Jiuye could barely hold back the pain. Even though he was so injured, he still didn’t say a word.

We had no time to take a closer look at Sun Jiuye's injuries, so we took advantage of the gap between Jingling's broken armor and the fall, and called Fatty and Yao Mei'er to catch him at the entrance of the cave. Half dragging and half carrying him, they snatched Sun Jiuye back to Zangna Xuan. The crevice of the coffin.

The fat man said angrily: "Lao Hu, are you tired of living? Is it worth it to almost risk your life for Sun Laojiu?"

I casually touched the blood on my face and said perfunctorily to the fat man: "This transaction is considered a complete loss anyway, and I don't want to pay more. As long as I can survive, I will have to get it back sooner or later. Now it's all a loan shark." ”

Shirley Yang said: "It's not that simple. I rescued Professor Sun because I suddenly thought of a blind spot. What is destined to happen...maybe it is not what we imagined. We are all imprisoned in the Earth Immortal Tombstone. The prisoners in prison are misled.”

Although the roots of the "Nine Death Jingling Armor" wrapped around the mountain have been broken, the remnants of the armor that are tightly attached to the mountain wall continue to scratch the rock formations, causing Coffin Mountain to be blocked in the narrow part of the underground cave. At this moment, the ground is shaking. The shaking of the mountain subsided a little. When I heard Shirley Yang's words, I was confused for a moment and shook my head vigorously. I still felt that the stars were spinning in front of my eyes. I asked in a daze: "Could it be the apocalypse in the stone prison of the earthly immortal tomb?" not real?"

Shirley Yang said: "At least everything that has happened has come true, but what happens next may not be as we thought before. The murals in the dungeon are painted based on the hexagrams and stars. I remember you once said before that everything in the world According to several phenomena, in the final apocalypse, it is the Corpse Immortal attached to the Stealing Star and leaving the mountain..."

I nodded and said: "The omen of stealing stars must be on our group. Depending on the situation, we can't help ourselves. No matter what we do, the corpse immortal in the ancient tomb will eventually escape from the mountain."

Shirley Yang continued: "Professor Sun said that before the Corpse Immortal comes out of the mountain, we will not die no matter how great the danger is, but have you ever thought about it. Although the murals recording the Apocalypse are vague and abstract, there is only one Stealing Star. And it’s impossible to tell whether we were alive or dead when we left the mountain. Maybe we all died in the mountain, and the corpse fairy will also be attached to the body of one of us. Of course... before Dixian Village entered the canyon, all speculations were groundless. , my consciousness is that this matter cannot be judged by common sense, so don’t make preconceived guesses.”

When I heard Shirley Yang say this, I understood what she meant. Things would not be as Sun Jiuye thought, but we could die at any time before leaving "Coffin Mountain", even if everyone died, There is no way to turn things around. The corpse immortals in Dixian Village will definitely escape from the mountain in the end, but the real situation cannot be speculated at all until the last moment.

At this time, I couldn't help but feel suspicious. I turned around and glanced at Mr. Sun Jiuye. I saw that Yao Meier was treating his injury, spraying powerful hemostatic gel on the penetrating wound on his shoulder. Mr. Sun's expression was dull. Despite being so seriously injured, he seemed to feel no pain at all.

I suddenly thought: "Sun Jiuye's behavior is no different from that of a walking corpse, and he can't explain why he is enveloped in corpse aura and why corpse insects appear. Could it be that this person has a deeper conspiracy? Is it possible that Master Sun Jiu is the Corpse Immortal? Or is he possessed by Feng Shigu?"

A series of questions were spinning in my mind like a revolving lantern, quickly turning into a huge whirlpool. The more I thought about it, the more I felt trapped in it. All possibilities seemed illogical. Professor Sun, who was covered in corpses, The existence of people who can change signs is far beyond my common sense and understanding.

Seeing me staring at him, Sun Jiuye pushed me and said, "I locked the tunnel secret door before, not with the intention of killing everyone. After Miss Yang said this, I have figured it out now. Whether these five people are alive or dead, they can't change the disaster that Dixian Village is destined to cause. I hope you don't take it to heart. You know... everything I do is for things, not people. I I have never had any grudge against you, I just want to do everything in my power to prevent the Corpse Immortal from escaping from Coffin Mountain."

I think that although Mr. Sun Jiu is acting extreme, he should have said everything he can say. There is no point in getting entangled with him anymore. Now we only need to be on guard in secret and find an opportunity to lure the snake out of its hole. So he said: "Don't follow him." I am talking about these fallacies. I don’t understand what it means to be right about things and not people. People do everything, and things are right to people. However, things between us are not clear at all for a while. Now that a disaster is imminent, it is still Finding a way to escape first is the top priority.”

Sun Jiuye sighed and said: "You, Hu Bayi, are very tolerant. I'm afraid I won't be able to repay you for what I owe you in this life. If I, Feng Xuewu, can still have another life, I will have to repay you as much as I can." You. But Coffin Mountain was moved towards the canyon by the rapids. The few of us trying to stop this overwhelming force were like a mantis trying to block the car. I have finally seen through it. My arm cannot twist my thigh. Don’t fight with your life. Let’s just close our eyes and wait for death.”

Fatty and I have always been "not afraid of black Li Kui, only afraid of crying Liu Bei." Since Sun Jiuye said this, it is natural not to embarrass him any more, but I don't want to wait to die, since Coffin Mountain is temporarily covered by underground rock formations Blocking it means that the ancestor’s blessing has left a glimmer of hope for Captain Mojin. The secrets of heaven are subtle and the signs are cryptic. Who can say clearly whether the final disaster will happen? What if the guardians of King Wuyang’s tomb are wrong in their calculations? Wouldn’t we have missed a good opportunity by waiting for death here?

Fatty and I discussed it for a while and decided to listen to Shirley Yang and Yao Meier's opinions first. Should we take the risk and escape? Or are you trapped here waiting to die? Because Comrade Lenin once said - Judging from the experience of all liberation movements, the success or failure of a revolution often depends on the extent of women's participation in the liberation movement.

Yao Meier has little knowledge, but when faced with a major life-and-death decision, she naturally wants to live or not die. Shirley Yang also feels that the problem is man-made. The prisoners in the stone prison of the Earth Immortal Tomb were tortured. The celestial phenomena they calculated for Feng Shigu, maybe Although it is unlikely that there will be trouble hidden deep inside, no one can know it until the last moment.

Seeing that everyone except Sun Jiuye was unanimous in their opinions, I decided to take advantage of the opportunity while the mountain remained underground to climb over the cliff and escape from "Coffin Mountain". At this time, the copper corrosion that fell in mid-air stopped. It was the perfect time to start taking action. I couldn't help but say that immediately, the fat man and I picked up Sun Jiuye who refused to walk, got out of the cave where the coffin was hidden, and spiraled up along the bird path dug into the stone wall.

The coffin mountain is shaped like an uncovered sarcophagus. There are many cracks and caves on the four walls, which contain countless hanging coffins, most of which are small coffins containing the organs of ancient corpses. "Bird paths and plank roads" crisscross the cliffs, and there are also many coffins growing in the rock crevices. There is a lot of rotting moss, and the deepest stench touches the brain. From a distance, it looks like the pattern of climbing dragons and phoenixes on ancient coffins. People walking among them are as insignificant as coffin worms crawling in the gaps between the coffin boards.

Some of the connected passages in the cliffs are ancient plank roads with wooden deeds and stone slabs, and more are "bird paths" sunken into the cracks in the mountains. Most of the plank roads with wooden piles and stone slabs have collapsed in previous earthquakes, leaving only some rotten wooden piles standing abruptly in the air. We had no choice but to wind up through the caves on intermittent bird paths.

Halfway up the climb in the darkness, I held up my "Wolf Eye Flashlight" to shine upwards, and I could already see that the top of my head was covered with dense "Nine Deaths Jingling Armor". Although many of the remnants of the armor were shattered and broken in the collision, they were just The main body of the Jingling Armor wrapped around the "coffin mountain" is still intact, with the copper thorns densely covered with no gaps.

Previously, everyone thought that most of the Jingling Bronze Armor had fallen off, and they could escape before Coffin Mountain was washed into the canyon. Unexpectedly, it was wrapped so airtight, and it seemed that the plan to escape over the mountain had to be shelved. Come down.

Everyone had no choice but to stay at the top of the cliff for a long time. They were afraid of losing their footing and falling, so they had to find the original way down. Unexpectedly, countless streams of dark underground water spewed out from the Pangu Vein in the Coffin Mountain. It turned out that there were cracks torn by the bronze armor at the bottom of the mountain. At most, the groundwater gushing from all around mixed with the blood springs in the mountains and turned into a rolling turbid current. The water level in Coffin Mountain continued to rise, swallowing nearly half of Dixian Village. For a while, the mountain was filled with a rotten smell.

The ancient tombs buried under the "Dixian Village" and the countless corpses in the Lingxing Palace were washed out by the water, and floated up with the rising black water. We can't see what's going on in the distance. , but the water surface within the reach of the spotlight was almost covered with ancient corpses and coffins and artifacts, each of which was spinning in the whirlpool of the water. A chill arose in my heart. What I saw in my eyes was the "Sea of ​​Blood Corpse Mountain" ", the current situation is a dilemma. The exits to the outside of the mountain are blocked by Jingling Armor, and the water level in the mountain rises rapidly. Once you fall into the water filled with corpse energy, you will not be able to survive. Falling into the "Coffin Mountain" It is really impossible to escape from the dragnet.

Just when we were at a loss what to do, there was a sudden and earth-shattering sound, like "tearing copper and iron", and there were endless "clicks" above our heads. It turned out that the Jingling bronze armor wrapped around the coffin mountain was finally Unable to withstand the violent impact of the water flow, it was blocked by the surrounding narrow rock formations and was torn away from the mountain.

The "Nine Deaths Jingling Armor" shaped like metal thorns is intertwined with each other, and the barbs bite each other. When part of the bronze armor broke away from the coffin mountain, the rest of the bronze armor was peeled off from the mountain.

The volume and weight of Coffin Mountain suddenly decreased, and it was rushed by the surging underground river. It immediately broke through the weak rock formation in front, and continued to move forward obliquely with trembling and bumping.

When the "Nine Deaths Jingling Armor" was peeled off, the mountain tremors were particularly violent. We were in the gaps between the stone walls and crevices, and we were almost knocked into the water. Then, the shaking that shook the mountains came one after another, and there was no one left. With room to breathe, the underground Wuyan Cave was slippery and tilted, and the Coffin Mountain kept moving along with the terrain.

We hid in a narrow hanging coffin tomb, and our internal organs were ups and downs with the bumps of the mountain. We felt dizzy, and even our hands, feet, and bodies had lost control. Our minds were blank, and we had no idea. Where are you.

I don’t know how far the “coffin mountain” moved underground, and finally stopped suddenly. I heard the sound of water roaring like thunder, and saw a dazzling white light in front of my eyes. I thought it was an hallucination, but the cold wind blowing against my face made me sober up a little. After walking for a while, and taking a closer look, I discovered that this hollow stone mountain had entered the "Coffin Gorge" with high mountains and long waters.

It is now the flood season, and the mountains in Coffin Gorge are steep and steep. The water in the high mountains and deep gorges is roaring like dragons and tigers. The torrent diverted underground rushes out of a waterfall in the cliff above the river near the bottom of the valley. "Coffin Mountain" flows downstream. When it came out, the front end hit the opposite cliff, and the back end stopped at the entrance of the waterfall, hovering in mid-air as if it was not right.

Although the "Coffin Mountain" that houses the Dixian Village Pangu Vein and other relics is not small in size, it seems insignificant in this section of the Grand Canyon. Only the steep and narrow walls of the canyon prevent the "Coffin Mountain" from falling directly into the river, but the mountain Suffering from the impact of water flow and being eroded by the "Nine Death Jingling Armor" for hundreds of years, the coffin walls on all sides are riddled with holes and cracks, like a hanging coffin that has been decaying for thousands of years, exposed to the violent storm. , will be washed to pieces by the rapids at any time.

At this time, it was daytime outside the mountain. We calmed down for a while on the cliff. We touched our legs, feet, and heads, but they were still in their original positions. We were all secretly thankful, but our minds were still a mess of all kinds of things. All we could do was to get away quickly. With the thought of leaving here, I hurriedly climbed to the top of the sloping rock wall and looked around. I saw a line hanging in the sky above my head, misty clouds between two thousand-foot cliffs. "Coffin Mountain" was like a hanging coffin in the sky, with the coffin underneath. The rivers flowed with mighty force, and the water was astonishingly powerful.

I lay on the top of the coffin wall, turned around and looked into the Coffin Mountain, and my thoughts that had been shaken were finally reunited. At this moment, the Dixian Village built on the corpse-shaped mountain of Pangu Vein had already been destroyed, and the Pangu Vein had also been destroyed. It has ruptured and collapsed, and the blood accumulated at the front of the mountain has not been washed away by the flood. Due to the tilt of the mountain, the front end of "Coffin Mountain" is on the cliff opposite the canyon, but the back end is still hanging in the entrance of the waterfall gushing from the underground water veins. The dark and turbid water rushed countless corpses in the catacombs to the surface and pushed them to the cliff.

The corpses of those who had been buried there immediately developed a layer of black spots when they were touched by the mountain wind outside the ancient tombs. I exclaimed that the corpses of the dead in Dixian Village were about to transform into "black evil"!

Sun Jiuye also complained endlessly: "These are not zombies. Zombies can't listen to the crowing of roosters, they can't transform into corpses in the daytime, and they can't have coffins. These are corpse immortals refined by Feng Shigu!"

In folklore, ancient zombies are evil and can attack people and suck their marrow. Whether they are flying zombies or walking zombies, when the rooster crows and dawn, they will fall like dead trees. Moreover, zombies must be in coffins to transform into corpses. Except for Feng Shigu, none of the deceased in the Lingxing Hall of the Earth Immortal Tomb had coffins to contain them. So many corpses suddenly appeared with black spots in the mountains, which seemed extremely abnormal, so Sun Jiuye concluded that they were all refined corpses. The corpse fairy.

Before, everyone thought that there was only one corpse immortal, Feng Shigu, in the ancient tomb, but unexpectedly there were so many. Seeing with our own eyes that the "catastrophe" in the signs of the sky has appeared, our group has no way of returning to heaven. .

Sun Jiuye said: "The corpse immortals have not yet appeared in full form. We should go closer to see what they are. Even if we risk our lives... we have to destroy them all."

The fat man was at a high place, and with all the courage in his body, he went to Qifen first, and said hurriedly: "It's not that the fat man is unjust, those dead losers are invulnerable to water and fire, what can we do with them? Or should my father and mother marry each other?" Let's forget about everyone, Lao Hu, let's evacuate immediately."

I looked around, made up my mind immediately, and said to everyone: "This mountain will collapse at any time. The back end of Coffin Mountain is trapped in the rapids of the waterfall. If you want to leave, the only way to survive is to climb the cliff from the head of the coffin." "After that, I walked along the stone wall towards the head of the coffin. Shirley Yang and others greeted each other and followed behind me.

Under the impact of the waterfall, the "coffin mountain" was shaken all over. All the earth and stone buildings in the middle and rear of the mountain were gradually being washed into the canyon by the water. Things that fell into the rapids, no matter how big or small, disappeared in an instant. , there is only a shell left in the second half of the "Coffin Mountain", and it may completely collapse and fall apart every minute and every second. Walking in it is like being on top of the toppling Tianhe River, which is extremely dangerous.

When we walked to the "coffin head" of Coffin Mountain on the cliff, the disintegration of the mountain was also intensifying. The momentum was really shocking, and the sun and the moon changed color. I think Sun Jiuye wanted to climb down to see those full of life. Hei Ban's corpse hurriedly grabbed him. "Coffin Mountain" would completely collapse and fall into the river in an instant. Everything in "Dixian Village" would be swept away by the river, whether dead or alive. It seems there is no need for us. If we continue to make many mistakes, Feng Shigu's magical plan will come to nothing in an instant. Fortunately, we don't completely believe in the omens of the apocalypse. If we don't run away now, when will we wait?

However, Sun Jiuye was not at ease and did not care about his own safety. He insisted on going down to see what happened in person. I had the intention not to care about him anymore, but there were many things that still needed to happen to this person, so I asked Shirley Yang to take Yao Meier with him. We should first climb up the bird path carved between the cliffs, and then the fat man and I would forcefully drag Mr. Sun Jiu away.

Climbing more than ten meters on the cliff, gradually getting higher and higher, I expected that the "Coffin Mountain" was about to fall into the river, but they all felt that something was strange, and it didn't seem like it could be ended like this. They also felt that there was something strange in the clouds and mist in the canyon, and they couldn't bear it. You can always turn around and look down, if not, this look will almost scare you out of your body.

We saw that the cliff below us was actually covered with countless corpses that had surfaced from the ancient tombs of Dixian Village. Mildew corpse hair, black fog filled the bottom of the canyon at this time, and the remaining ruins in the "Coffin Mountain" were looming in the fog, like a "ghost land" emerging from the flood. The situation was simply like "Fengdu City" When the door is opened for a moment, a hundred thousand evil spirits are released.”
