Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

Chapter 786: No Different from a Living Person

At this moment, Red Girl and Hua Ling also heard the sound.

Miss Hong frowned and said, "Master Xu, are those bandits crying for their leader?"

Hua Ling shook her head and said, "No, there are all kinds of crying sounds in here, from men, women, old and young, and they don't sound like human voices."

Hearing this, Red Girl felt uncomfortable all over. "If it's not a human voice, then what is it? Is it a dead person?"

"How can a dead person cry... Don't be afraid, maybe it's just a ghost." Hua Ling said naively.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Xu Nuo felt helpless.

"That is definitely not a human, but it is not a ghost either. It should be some kind of monster." Xu Nuo thought of a special group in the dense forest of Pingshan - some animals that have already possessed intelligence and some climate.

Xu Nuo raised his finger to his lips to signal the two to be quiet, and then led them carefully through the dense forest.

After walking some distance, he found that the source of the sound was where the huge rock fell.

The crying sound was faint at first, but became clearer as it got closer.

Apparently there were many creatures crying at once, creating an extremely eerie atmosphere.

Xu Nuo stopped and quickly climbed a nearby big tree.

Red Girl and Flower Spirit reacted quickly and quickly climbed up the tree and hid behind the branches.

With the help of moonlight, the three saw a huge dark green rock in front of them. It was the rock where the tomb chamber fell from the top of the mountain. It looked like a sleeping beast.

Xu Nuo felt the smell of rotting corpses, the evil aura of monsters, and the spiritual energy emitted by precious metals mixed around the giant rock.

Soon after, he noticed that the huge rock had many cracks, and one large hole was particularly conspicuous.

Various huge stone brick building materials and a huge purple gold coffin continuously emerged from the cave.

The moment he saw the purple gold coffin, Xu Nuo couldn't help but hold his breath.

This was the most luxurious coffin he had ever seen since he came to this world. It was much more luxurious than the various coffins he had seen in the underground mechanical city before, and even the hundreds of coffins at the bottom of the Dan Palace Treasure Well.

Both its material and scent are far superior to anything seen before, and it exudes an awe-inspiring purple luster.

Outside, a curtain woven with pearls was hanging lightly, and behind it was a jade coffin.

The surface of this purple gold coffin is decorated with many precious jades and gems.

Unfortunately, the entire tomb chamber fell from the top of Pingshan Mountain due to the huge rock that supported it. It plummeted hundreds of meters from the sky and slid on the ground for a distance of five or six miles.

Even though the huge rock was extremely hard, it was covered with cracks and was severely damaged.

Fortunately, the purple gold coffin still shows its extraordinary solidity.

However, the outer layer of pearls and jade decorations had been completely destroyed, with fragments scattered on the ground, and even the purple gold coffin itself had obvious cracks.

Xu Nuo noticed that inside the purple gold coffin there was another huge golden nanmu coffin, the surface of which was painted with bright vermilion lacquer.

Unfortunately, the lid of the coffin had flown to one side due to the impact, and the seven-star board was left alone, tilted, covering the top of the coffin.

Thanks to his many years of experience with the Xiailing Lishi, Xu Nuo was already very familiar with funeral arrangements.

He quickly realized that the seven-star board was made of high-quality fir wood and was perfectly inlaid between the coffin lid and the bottom.

This kind of design usually does not appear in ordinary people's homes. Only the tombs of dignitaries have such special arrangements.

The round holes on the seven-star plate are arranged according to the Big Dipper, the size of coins, and connected to each other by a groove.

This custom originated in the Sui and Tang Dynasties and is believed to have the power to ward off evil.

It is said that in ancient times, when generals or powerful warriors died, they often used the Seven Star Board as a precaution.

Xu Nuo speculated that this layout might be intended to suppress possible changes that might occur to the deceased inside the coffin.

Obviously, the seven-star board in front of him perfectly concealed the spiritual energy emanating from the inside of the golden nanmu lacquer coffin.

The auras from the seven holes gathered into the shape of the Big Dipper, slowly floating above the coffin, even blurring its original attributes - was it corpse aura, rotten aura, evil aura, or demonic aura? These auras were regulated by the Seven Star Plate and transformed into a uniform mist, making it difficult to distinguish.

What surprised Xu Nuo was that such Taoist techniques were also used in the tomb of this Mongolian general.

As we all know, the generals of the Yuan Dynasty had mixed backgrounds. Most of them believed in grassland shamanism, but there were also multiple religious beliefs coexisting.

Historical records show that Qiu Chuji traveled thousands of miles to pay a visit to Genghis Khan and was awarded the title of "National Master".

Looking at the design of this golden nanmu lacquer coffin and the seven-star board today, it is obvious that it contains a strong Taoist style.

When Xu Nuo was thinking about whether to try to flip the Seven Star Board to find the trace of the Corpse King, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears:

"You have gained some experience in studying the Seven Star Soul Guarding Board, and thus have mastered the Seven Star Soul Guarding Gu method.

"

Xu Nuo was deeply surprised by this.

I originally thought that this Gu only existed in the Corpse King's Tomb in western Hunan, but I never thought that even the Seven Star Board in the coffin here could provide corresponding insights.

The Seven-Star Soul Guardian Gu is extremely unique, and its manufacture requires the use of various instruments that contain the power of the Big Dipper.

There are no clear restrictions on the materials or shapes of these materials, as long as they possess the power of the Big Dipper: such as the Seven-Star Sword, the Seven-Star Life Nail, the Seven-Star Plate and even the Seven-Star Taoist Robe.

Of course, it would be even better if you could obtain a magical weapon that truly contains mysterious power.

After thinking about it, there is nothing else except the seven-star board in front of me. However, it may be feasible to explore the seven-star life nails in some ancient tombs in the future.

In addition, considering that Taoism has a lot to do with the Seven Stars, I believe that the secret place hidden in the Jin family thunder altar in Nuqing County will definitely yield some results.

In the previous battle, Xu Nuo had already formed a feud with Jin Lao San, which angered Jin Lei Tan.

Now he decided to do this matter more thoroughly, even if it would completely anger Jin Lei Tan.

After all, given his current situation, Jin Lei Tan’s attitude is no longer the key.

At the same time, there are many mysterious things hidden in the Yunnan Worm Valley, many of which are related to the power of the Seven Stars.

For example, there is the blood coffin of the blood python high priest under the couple banyan tree, and there is the seven-star toad in the nine-bend mountain formation outside the mountain temple.

In addition, the burial objects in the underworld palace may also contain similar powers.

You know, King Xian was devoted to cultivating immortality during his lifetime, so there must be many rare treasures in his tomb.

After a little thought, Xu Nuo realized that if he wanted to refine the Seven-Star Soul Protecting Gu, it would obviously require some trouble and preparation.

At this moment, the whole valley suddenly fell into a strange atmosphere, and shrill and mournful cries were heard from all directions.

This sound makes people feel cold.

Hua Ling, who was standing beside him, was as pale as paper. With her trembling little hands, she tugged at the corner of Xu Nuo's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xu, look over there...what is that? Is it a white-haired zombie?"

Looking in the direction pointed by Hua Ling, Xu Nuo discovered that under the purple gold coffin that rushed out of the tomb, there was an extremely strange thing - it was an object shaped like a human arm.

It looked pale under the moonlight.

This arm is thick and solid, and definitely not like an ordinary bone. It looks more like the torso of a beast or some unknown being when it was alive.

Its five fingers are slender and sharp, and are covered with claws at least half a foot long. The surface of the claws has a hint of black metallic luster and faintly flashes green light, which seems to contain highly toxic ingredients.

What's even more bizarre is that the skin of this arm actually grew densely packed long snow-white hairs, each of which is several inches long!

This scene made Hua Ling, Hong Girl and others look terrified.

As we all know, the so-called "white-haired evil" is also known as "white evil". It is one of the products of corpse transformation. Its formation conditions are extremely special and it is often found in places with strong earth energy.

Especially in some humid and cold areas in the north, due to the gathering of yin energy, a so-called corpse-piling land often appears. The corpses that have been buried for hundreds or even thousands of years are still intact, no different from living people.

Once an abnormal change occurs to a corpse in this special state, it will become a super evil spirit called "incorruptible bones" that can easily escape the boundary between life and death. It is almost invulnerable to swords and guns, difficult to be hurt by water and fire, and extremely difficult to deal with.

Therefore, when Xu Nuo mentioned this possibility, Hua Ling and Hong Girl were both deeply uneasy.

As experienced tomb robbers, the two knew that if they were not careful, such "incorruptible bones" might bring about a catastrophic disaster.

If the legendary Pingshan Xiangxi Corpse King has indeed transformed into a white-haired zombie with such characteristics, it would undoubtedly be a terrifying existence that has been well preserved for thousands of years, and it might even be enough to be promoted to a true "incorruptible bone".

However, Xu Nuo remained calm and said quietly, "Don't be afraid, it still has signs of life." Then he added, "I can sense the fluctuations in its qi and blood."

Although he comforted the two of them on the surface, Xu Nuo actually did not dare to take it lightly in his heart.

The white-haired monster in front of him, which exudes a strong demonic aura, is no ordinary person, and the strength it displays is unpredictable.

What is particularly noteworthy is that despite being trapped under the purple gold coffin, it still survived tenaciously - there must be a mystery behind this.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Nuo immediately summoned out two poisonous insects that he had already raised to maturity.

First, the Sky-Splitting Gu slid forward silently along the dense vegetation to investigate; then, the Flying Nightshade Gu disguised itself as a ghostly bat under the cover of night and flew over the target to explore the way.

Just as this series of actions was completed, a spine-chilling rustling sound suddenly occurred in the forest.

Xu Nuo raised his eyebrows and whispered, "The fun is about to begin!"

As a thin layer of mist rising under the bright moon gradually dissipated, the view became clearer.

A huge shadow emerged from the lush forest in the distance, crashing into the branches and causing them to shake violently, and a low, oppressive vibration came over us.

Xu Nuo looked carefully and discovered that it was actually a group of monkeys.

A rough count showed that there were at least two or three hundred of them.

These monkeys are of different sizes and ages, and some baby monkeys are even clinging to the backs of their mothers.

At this moment, all the monkeys were leaping rapidly among the trees, accompanied by bursts of mournful cries.

The crying sound that the three people heard before was made by this group of monkeys.

When the monkeys approached about two meters in front of the purple gold coffin, they suddenly stopped moving and no longer moved forward.
