Chapter 495: The Coffin in the River


In Chinese folklore, there is a kind of ghost that can be reincarnated.

This kind of ghost often lurks in swamps and puddles, dragging those who commit suicide or die accidentally into the depths, and smash their faces.

Fill their stomachs with sand and use it as their own scapegoat, so that they can be reborn in bliss.

According to legend, this kind of ghost is as black as ink, like a hybrid of a horse and an ox, with two long and sharp horns on its head.

It often squats and waits for the arrival of pedestrians, and then harms them to make itself happy.

This kind of dark life and this kind of ghost are called water monkeys in China.

In official terms.

It's a water ghost.

The monster's razor-like teeth were shattered by my two blows, and then its whole body twisted randomly in the water like a convulsion.

Its long and thick tail accidentally hit my chest, knocking my blood out of me.

Welling up, he almost couldn't hold in his breath and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

I covered my mouth, then floated to the surface to take a breath.

At this time, everyone still couldn't get to the shore, and they were still flopping in the river.

I wanted to swim towards Cao Zijian next to me, but before I could start, He was taking a step forward, but suddenly felt a tightness in his ankle.

Before he could even shout for help, he was dragged into the water.

It was like being dragged under the water by a hand.

I struggled with all my strength, but I couldn't struggle no matter what.

I turned around and saw a thin man squatting behind me.

He looked like a monkey, and his palms were tightly holding my ankles.

This thin, monkey-like creature looks very sneaky, with big eyes, like two eyeballs magnified several times.

It is as skinny and skinny as a whole, and its face is wrinkled like a haggard old man.

The hair on his head stuck to his skin like algae, which looked extremely scary, and his hands only had two fingers. water ghost I stared.

The water ghost I met among the monsters was just adding insult to injury for us.

I tried my best to swim up the river, but the hand was holding my ankle like an iron plier. , preventing me from moving a bit, I struggled hard, and then immediately waved the blade in my hand and slashed at the water ghost's arm.

It seemed that the water ghost was afraid of the murderous intent on the demon knife.

He immediately gave me a toothy smile, and then swam out into the water like a shuttle.

When he turned around, I happened to see that there was a tail behind him.

I rushed towards the shore like crazy, and as soon as my head appeared, I couldn't help shouting: "There are water ghosts under the water, please be careful" "Water Ghost" Everyone looked at me.

At this time, we were already overwhelmed by the monsters around us.

If there were more water ghosts, you can imagine the pressure on everyone.

"Let's go ashore first.

There are a lot of these monsters, but the number has become a stumbling block for them.

There is no problem for us to go ashore now.

We just need to be careful about the water ghosts below.

They are more powerful than the red-robed ghosts in the water.

It's scary."

Liu Xuance wiped his face and said.

As soon as Liu Xuance finished speaking, before I had time to think, I felt something tug at my feet.

I stared and was immediately pulled down.

I drank several sips of water and had no time to react. , I just covered my mouth and swam upward crazily.

But how could my strength be compared to this water monkey in the water?

I watched helplessly as he dragged me towards the bottom of the river.

At this time, Liu Xuance and Ya Shajin also swam down and started looking for me.

I had one hand He clutched his neck tightly and moved his other hand upward desperately.

I squinted my eyes, and the slimy body of the huge monster around me was swaying slowly next to me, like an extremely thick and long snake.

Liu Xuance and Ya Shajin groped in the water for a while, and they obviously saw me.

He swam over after me.

The water ghost was very fast, and it didn't take long to drag me into the water.

The water pressure around me made me feel uncomfortable all over.

I stared, and the veins on my forehead popped out.

I desperately needed oxygen, but just like this The situation is that even if this water ghost releases me, I may not be able to swim to the surface alive.

At this time, I could no longer see the figures of Liu Xuance and Crow Killer.

I only felt a lump in my heart.

A stream of blood slowly flowed out from my fingers and floated in the water.

At the same time, I could only hear With a strange cry, the huge monster on the lake immediately turned and rushed towards me.

The water monkey dragged me without looking back.

I no longer had the strength to struggle, so I could only let it drag me downwards.

The huge and terrifying head above my head was already rushing towards me crazily.

Coming over, a dozen bodies as thick as palace pillars were tangled together, looking just like the legendary Yamata no Orochi.

My vision was getting blurry at this time.

Apart from the sound of bubbling water, there was no other sound in my ears.

Just when I felt like I was about to die, there was a sudden loud noise in my ears.

It sounded, and immediately, a burst of air that I will never forget slowly flowed from my nose into my lungs.

I curled up and coughed several times.

River water and blood flowed out of my nose and mouth.

I beat my chest and felt uncomfortable all over.

I squinted my eyes and looked around.

This place was no longer in the river, but a stone room the size of a room.

It seemed that the water monkey had sent me in.

I grabbed the collar and coughed loudly a few times.

When I looked up, I happened to see the water monkey.

This water monkey was squatting in front of me, with a pair of big eyes that were wide open, and the teeth in its mouth were as white as pearls.

I rested on the ground for a while, and saw that it had no intention of killing me as a scapegoat, but I He didn't let down his guard immediately.

He slowly sat up straight and took two steps back.

This stone room is not big.

There is a rectangular copper platform behind the water monkey, with four strings of bells hanging on the four corners.

The platform is smooth and flat, like a mirror, but there is nothing on the platform.

I am a little strange.

I frowned and thought to myself, where on earth is this place?

According to the records on the mausoleum system, the tomb should not be too deep, but the heaviness should be long.

It is strictly forbidden to press the coffin within the coffin and buckle the tomb within the tomb.

But this stone chamber is obviously at the bottom of the river.

According to my speculation, this should be the deepest place in the entire tomb, but this is not the main tomb chamber.

The stone chamber hidden under the main tomb chamber is a taboo in the mausoleum system.

In the least case, it will harm the descendants, but in the worst case, it will lead to no children or grandchildren.

"Why did you bring me here?"

I looked at the water monkey and asked softly.

As soon as I spoke, I couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood and hit my chest in discomfort.

The water monkey tilted its head and looked at me.

It didn't seem to be able to speak, but when it heard me speak, its eyes lit up, and it immediately ran over and clapped its hands, then pointed to the stage behind it and jumped up and down without knowing it.

What exactly is it trying to express?

I frowned, stood up from the ground with the demon sword in one hand, and staggered slowly towards the bronze platform.

I reached out and touched the surface of the platform.

It was extremely smooth, really like a bronze mirror, but this platform There was nothing above. let me lie down I couldn't help but think about it, but then gave up the idea.

The platform was already more than two meters long, and it was obviously not meant for people to lie on it.

The problem should be with the bell.

I squinted my eyes and reached out to touch the bell.

As soon as I touched the bell, I heard a sound like a cicada chirping suddenly in my ears, and then the other three bells also started to sway for a while. , the entire stone room was filled with such strange and sharp sounds.

I took two steps back and turned my head to take a look.

I saw that the water monkey was already staring blankly.

His eyes were wide open slightly.

I was a little confused.

I couldn't help but look at the water monkey a few more times.

I thought to myself, what the hell is this guy doing?

Is it because the water ghost doesn't dare to take things seriously?

It was so deliberate.

There was only one water ghost in such a big river, and it only focused on me.

What surprised me the most was that this water ghost didn’t capture me just to be a substitute.

This completely subverted my imagination.

Cognition, so I began to wonder in my heart whether this thing was a water ghost.

Just when I was doubting, suddenly a violent noise spread from the top of my head.

I looked up and saw a bronze coffin falling from above and hitting the bronze platform with a bang.

Above, there was a deafening sound that made me block my ears.

It was really buzzing.

Although I had expected that there would be a coffin here, I didn't expect that the coffin would appear so unexpectedly, and it almost shocked me.

It seems that the water monkey wants me to open the coffin for him, but why did it choose me?

I turned around and glanced at the water monkey who was still squatting on the ground.

It kept staring at the coffin, but there was nothing.

The expression, as if he was born that way, eyes wide and then a grin.

I supported the handle of the knife and walked slowly to the bronze coffin.

There was a layer of fine water stains and green moss on the coffin.

It looked like it was extremely wet.

Painted on the coffin was a picture, fish and dragon vying for pearls. , I stretched out my finger and clicked on the pattern on it.

After so many years, it can still remain so clear.

This is a very powerful sculptor's skill.

But whose coffin is this?

I have some doubts in my mind.

The picture of fishes and dragons competing for pearls on the coffin is very similar to the formation of fishes and dragons behind the people I saw in the South China Sea.

Countless weird fishes and dragons surrounded each other with their mouths open and roared.

There is a bead embroidered in the middle.

I was about to reach out and touch it.

Suddenly, when my hand was less than an inch away from the coffin, the coffin moved
