Chapter 24 Final Destruction
The old man threw me out with the broken coffin, which gave me another chance to ride a spaceship. The "Coffin Spaceship" flew straight to the wall and immediately flew into pieces. The coffin board fell to the ground with a crash. My entire skeleton was almost broken apart. I was buried under the broken coffin and couldn't move for a while. It's not that I didn't want to move, but it was too painful to move.
"Little hooligan, what's wrong with you?" Lin Yuxi shouted loudly, then screamed again, and ran away at the sound of footsteps.
When I heard that she was in danger, I was so confused that I tried to stand up. But I panicked and got a stitch in the side. The most taboo in Qigong is that the Qi goes astray from the meridians, which can cause paralysis. I immediately broke out in a cold sweat and quickly calmed down to gradually guide the stray Qi back. After a lot of effort, the Qi of Wu Fu finally returned to the normal track, which made me feel relieved.
"Little hooligan, the demon corpse is coming towards you again. Are you okay?" Lin Yuxi shouted again, her tone full of concern.
As long as she is fine, I will be relieved, but I am in a state of luck and cannot speak, otherwise, if I relax, all my efforts will be wasted. Just then, the old zongzi came over and tore off the broken coffin on my body. At the same time, the meridians in my body were unblocked. I looked up and saw the old zongzi's ferocious and terrifying face stretched out to me. I immediately threw a talisman on its forehead. The two talismans peeled off the coffin board were held in my hand, and they came in handy at this time.
The old Zongzi was stuck with a yellow talisman on his forehead. He was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened and he stretched out his claws. Although I was shocked, I remained calm. "Pa" another talisman was stuck on his neck. This time, the old Zongzi let out two muffled cries from his throat and stood there with his back bent, motionless. I took a closer look and found that the one stuck on his forehead was a ghost-suppressing talisman, and the one on his throat was a corpse-suppressing talisman. The ghost-suppressing talisman sealed the spirit orifice to suppress the ghost energy, and the corpse-suppressing talisman locked the throat to block the corpse energy. The two talismans complemented each other and temporarily suppressed it.
I rolled out of the broken wood panting. I was lucky to succeed in stabbing its mouth, wrapping a red rope around its neck, and sticking a talisman on it. The first time, it was injured and had not recovered yet. The second and third times, it was unlucky enough to stretch its head towards me, as if it was actively asking for the reward. If it weren't for this, I would not have succeeded, let alone touched it, and I'm afraid it would have been torn into pieces.
Lin Yuxi was hiding in the corner opposite me. Seeing that I was fine, she looked thankful and said to me, "It's great that you are not dead. Come here quickly."
I smiled at her and said, "I can't die in order to protect you." After saying that, I didn't go over. Instead, I picked up the broken red ropes wrapped around my body and tore them apart one by one. Then I wrapped them around Lao Zongzi's legs one by one, and finally tied his arms and body together. Then I turned around, found the flashlight and picked it up.
"I believe what you said is true." Lin Yuxi's words were full of emotion.
I held back my laughter because it was just a joke. I couldn't avoid the damnation anyway, so how could I decide? But I was very happy to see that the little girl was very touched, so I walked towards her. Suddenly, I realized that there was water on the ground. The water level was already above my ankles, which made me feel very strange.
I ran to her and asked what happened. She was also confused and said that she was just trying to escape and didn't notice when the stone tower was flooded. I was suddenly shocked and wondered if this was also a mechanism. The coffin was smashed, which meant that the tomb was severely damaged by the invaders, so the final destruction mechanism was activated to bring in the nearby river water?
Just as I was thinking about this, I heard the old blind man and Lei Xueting screaming and rushing down the stone steps, as if they had encountered something terrifying. Lin Yuxi asked curiously, what happened to them? I suddenly came to my senses, maybe they couldn't resist the poisonous snakes above and ran down. Didn't the old blind man have realgar? Even that couldn't stop the poisonous snakes, which means there must be too many of these things.
As expected, the two old guys ran down in a hurry and ran straight over to us when they saw us at the corner. Lin Yuxi grabbed Lei Xueting's hand and asked, "Auntie Ting, what's wrong?"
"Poisonous snakes, countless poisonous snakes, I don't know where they came from!" Lei Xueting's face turned pale with fear, without a trace of blood.
The old blind man also lost his composure and told us tremblingly: "At first, only a few snakes got in. I used realgar to drive them away. Who would have thought that after a while, the entire top of the tower was covered with black-browed vipers, so many that I couldn't count them."
I told him not to panic and asked him if he had any realgar left. The old blind man said he had a little, but it was not enough to drive away so many things. I shone the flashlight on the steps and suddenly saw not only poisonous snakes crawling on the stone steps, but also snakes crawling all over the walls. This was a big shock, and I quickly raised my head and shone the flashlight above my head. The four of us were stunned.
The entire stone tower's tilted walls were covered with creeping black shadows, and they could no longer be counted in two digits, perhaps even three digits were not enough. And now he could smell a strong fishy odor, which made him feel nauseous and his whole body was covered with goose bumps.
The old blind man's face muscles kept twitching, as if he was frightened and stupid. He kept shaking his head and said, "I have been telling fortunes for people all my life, but I didn't even know that I had such a disaster in my life..."
Lin Yuxi actually had the energy to ask him: "Then why didn't you calculate it for yourself when you came in last night?"
The old blind man suddenly looked very angry and yelled at Lin Yuxi: "The fortune teller must not tell fortunes with me. This is the rule. What do you know?"
"Why are you yelling? He's almost dead, can't he leave some thoughts for us?" Lei Xueting calmed down a little, cursed the old blind man, turned around and saw the rotten coffin and the motionless demon corpse in the opposite corner, and said with a bitter face: "Maybe the coffin was moved, which led to this result. Not only are the venomous snakes attacking us, but the river water is also pouring in. We have no chance of survival!"
The old blind man was like a madman. He didn't listen to Lei Xueting at all. He stretched out his hands to grab my shoulders, shook me hard and cursed: "Little beast, didn't you say you don't know anything? Who suppressed the demon corpse? Tell me quickly, does the Ghost Talisman Sutra reveal the secret of the mechanism on the demon corpse?"
I pushed him away and said coldly, "Yes, I have read the Ghost Talisman Scripture and I know the secret. But if you can't get out alive, what's the point of having that little golden monster? Are you going to bury it with you?"
When Lei Xueting heard this, her eyes immediately lit up and she said, "Xiao Yu, we don't want anything now. As long as you open the mechanism on the demon corpse, there must be a secret of how to escape from the stone tower. Even if you don't consider us, you have to think about your own life. You think Xiao Xi is pretty good, right? How about I promise her to be your wife?"
