Volume 1 Chapter 81: Azure Dragon Suppressing Evil Nail
This was a problem. Success was just around the corner, but I was blocked at this step! I couldn't help but get anxious, so I had to use all my strength to shout a few times, hoping that the lion head above could hear me and come down to help me.
But the cave was very deep, and the air was surging upwards, so the wind was whistling loudly above. I shouted at the bottom, but the people above might not hear me. I shouted several times, but there was no response. Just as I was thinking of finding another way, I heard a tinkling sound, and something slid down from above.
I looked carefully and found that it was a shovel, but it didn't fall to the bottom and was caught by a sharp rock on top. I was delighted, thinking that the fat man had heard it, climbed up and took the shovel down. With this shovel in hand, at least I had a more handy tool.
He took it and started to pry open the coffin. There were eighteen copper nails on the black coffin. He pried it for a long time, but it didn't budge. He struggled for a while, and saw the time passing by. He was sweating profusely. Just when he was getting anxious, he heard a clanging sound from above, like a metal object hitting a rock.
I shone the flashlight upwards and saw a fat butt slowly moving down. It turned out to be the fat man from Lion Head, who had tied the iron cage with a rope, put it on his back, and was slowly climbing down along the rope.
As soon as the fat man stepped on solid ground, his legs softened and he sat down on the ground, his face pale as he said, "I haven't been down such a steep hole in years. I almost lost my life!"
I was quite surprised to see that he could actually get down into the cave, but there was no time to say anything else. I called the fat man and went to pry open the coffin lid together.
Even though the fat man was quite weak, he had more strength in his hands than a kid like me. With the combined efforts of the two of us, we finally managed to pry open the coffin lid.
The coffin was covered with a piece of white cloth, and there was a bulge under the cloth, vaguely a human figure. In the interlayer on both sides of the coffin, there was red powder, which gave off a slightly pungent smell. That was red saltpeter. My uncle once told me that for doctors, red saltpeter was an extremely strong drug, and red saltpeter was a strong drug that could kill people, but in our industry, red saltpeter was used as a pure yang substance to ward off evil spirits.
"The body is already in the coffin, why is it still covered with a shroud?" The lion head stretched his neck to take a look inside, feeling very curious.
Let alone him, I was also puzzled. Just as I was about to reach out to remove the shroud, I suddenly remembered what Qingzi said before going upstairs at home: "Do you think this method is too simple? Wait until you find the burial pit." Her tone was quite cold at the time. I thought she meant that it was difficult to find the burial pit, but now that I think about it, it doesn't seem to be the case.
I couldn't help but be shocked. Since this burial pit is the core of the Fire Bureau, it is the weakest and strongest point. I hurriedly called Lion Head and told him to hold the shovel tightly. If there is anything wrong later, I will not care about anything and just shovel it down.
The fat man's face turned pale and he uttered a loud "hmm". I noticed that his hand holding the shovel was shaking slightly. He didn't care about anything else at this time. He grabbed the shroud and opened it.
When he saw the body lying inside, he couldn't help but be stunned. This turned out to be an old acquaintance, the boy who was sent here by the Pang family, wearing a shroud.
Earlier, Lionhead came to tell me that the pretty boy's sister and brother-in-law were transporting the boy when their car was destroyed and they were bitten to death, and the boy's body disappeared. At that time, we suspected that the boy's corpse had turned into a corpse, and the boy's death was probably related to the couple, and the evil spirit killed the two on the spot.
I never thought that I would see the child corpse again in this burial pit. This is an evil corpse. That damned Chen Niubi is so cruel that he actually let him capture the child corpse and use it as a burial pit. Even if someone is lucky enough to find this burial pit, they will be bitten to death by this evil child corpse!
The lion-head screamed and turned pale with fear. I also turned pale, and before I could escape, I saw a figure flipping out of the coffin.
Lionhead was probably terrified, and although he held the shovel high, the shadow came out too fast, and when he swung the shovel down, it missed. My eyes blurred, and I smelled a strong stench of corpse. I was immediately knocked to the ground and rolled on the ground.
That thing was a little shorter than me, but very strong. It put a pair of cold and hard hands around my neck, and I couldn't even breathe.
As soon as we met, I saw the boy's pale face, black lips, and four long, sharp fangs under his lips. I grabbed the shroud behind him with my backhand and tried to tear him off me. But this thing was so strong that it had a sinister look on its face and opened its mouth to bite my neck.
Without any time to think, I pushed my head upwards and hit his forehead with a thud, which made me see stars.
He wrapped his legs around the child's corpse and immediately rolled over while holding him.
I didn't even have time to ask for help, the child corpse bit me again, so I had to use the same old trick and hit it with my head. But this evil child corpse was basically made of iron and steel, so a few knocks were just like a tickle, but after this hit, my head was dizzy for a long time.
I could only entangle him and roll around on the ground desperately.
Fortunately, Lion Head finally came to his senses and rushed over to grab the boy's collar and pull him out to stop him from falling. But the shroud was so damn bad, and I don't know which unscrupulous shop made it, it was torn to pieces in an instant.
The child corpse had no resistance and immediately opened its mouth to bite down. I leaned on it, and I didn't even have time to headbutt it again. I simply spit out the mouthful of Long Yang's blood that I had bitten through the tip of my tongue and held in my mouth.
The ghost thing was hit in the face, and immediately smelled the smell of burning flesh. Longyang blood is pure yang blood, which is the most restraining yin things. The place on the child's face splashed with blood was immediately corroded as if it was sprayed with sulfuric acid.
But for this evil thing, my little mouthful of Long Yang blood is simply a drop in the bucket, unless I can do the same as I did to that ghost girl Liu Nan, and pass a mouthful of Long Yang blood directly into her mouth. But facing Liu Nan at that time, I dared to do this, but I didn't dare to do it to this child corpse.
It’s not because this child’s corpse is more terrifying than the ghost girl named Liu, but because this thing can bite people, but Liu Nan can’t.
"Damn it, grab his hair and grab his neck!" While this ghost thing was being burned by Long Yang's blood, I yelled at the Lion Head.
The fat man finally reacted quickly. He rushed over, grabbed the thing's hair and pulled it back hard.
"Try harder!" I yelled. The fat man's eyes turned red, and he roared, then he stretched out his left hand, clamped its neck, and pulled it back.
I just felt my body lighten, and I freed my hands immediately and opened the bag. I saw the pale head of the child corpse suddenly turned back strangely, opened its mouth, and bit the fat man's round neck.
I stared at it without blinking, propped myself up with my left hand, jumped up, and took out something from my bag with my right hand. I thrust it through the child's heart and into his back. The child was motionless, and its four sharp fangs were only a millimeter away from the fat man's greasy neck.
It was not until this moment that the fat man let out an earth-shattering scream.
I heaved a sigh of relief, fell back to the ground with a thud, and lay there, too lazy to move even a finger. After howling for a while, Lionhead finally found that his fat neck was safe and sound, and saw child's corpse was motionless, so he stopped howling, kicked the corpse aside with lingering fear, and ran over to see me.
Seeing that I was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief, fell to the ground, and asked me, "That ghost thing won't get up again, right?"
I shook my head and said, "That's hard to say." But even so, I felt very relieved. Because what I used to pierce the child's corpse was not something else, but the Azure Dragon Evil-Suppressing Nail that I brought out from the ancient tomb in Southern Xinjiang!
