Chapter 397: Falling into a Plot Without Knowing It

"This... this," Plum Blossom Taoist muttered incoherently, took out a square Bagua plate and fiddled with it for a while: "Gathering wind and water, sinking filth and dirt, who on earth came up with such a big idea!"

"Don't keep us in suspense, just speak frankly!" said Lei Zun Tou Tuo.

Taoist Meihua looked at the hanging coffin. The group was some distance away from the bronze coffin. Under the coffin was a pool of black water. There were gusts of cold wind. As the wind blew, the sound of chains colliding resounded in everyone's hearts.

The black water was like a dark river, stagnant in one place lifelessly without any waves. Even the cold wind could not create any ripples. On the lake, there was a long bridge of bones looking at the bronze coffin from afar. The small bridge meandered all the way to the feet of the crowd.

"This place was originally a forbidden place. With the combination of heavenly power and geographical advantages, it should have suppressed the extraordinary demon. The restrictions outside are probably also a means to prevent others from breaking in."

Taoist Plum Blossom was fiddling with the Bagua plate. There was a pointer on the plate, which was used to find the pulse and stabilize the qi. Now the pointer was spinning wildly as Taoist Plum Blossom's fingers moved. After turning dozens of circles, it pointed steadily at the bronze coffin.

"It's just that some master from some unknown place used extraordinary means to forcibly distort the terrain and turn this place into a place to raise corpses," he said, shaking his head. "Wrong, all wrong. This place is not the remains of an immortal mansion, nor is it a lost cave. It's a dangerous place."

Taoist Meihua opened his eyes wide and said, "It's very dangerous. It's a place where there is a chance of death!" After saying that, the monkey on his shoulder trembled, but covered its mouth and nose, not daring to breathe.

Lei Zun Tou Tuo sneered, "You are the one who said that the remains of the Immortal Palace were you, and that the Great Evil Land was also you. You have said all the good and bad things. Are you really making fun of all these fellow Taoists?"

"I don't care if he's vicious or not, I just want money and treasures. We didn't come here to listen to your ghost stories. I'm telling you the truth. I came here with so much fanfare, and I won't be satisfied if I don't get some treasures!"

He looked at the Plum Blossom Taoist: "You, go up the bridge. Even if it is a forbidden place where the devil is sealed, there must be some treasures left behind. If not..."

Lei Zun Tou Tuo's face was grim: "Then use your wealth and life to pay for it!"

The Plum Blossom Taoist gave a bitter smile and looked at Wang Xieling for help, but Wang Xieling pretended not to see it. Lei Zun Tou Tuo said in a muffled voice, "The young knight from Shushan didn't contribute much along the way, so he will stay at the end to cover us. Wei Yituo, you follow this slippery old Taoist."

The group reorganized their team and moved forward step by step. Taoist Plum Blossom had no choice but to explore the way ahead, stopping every step and moving slowly.

"They are human bones, and they are taken from the rib cage and leg bones." Sun Yu looked at the bone pier and said in a low voice.

"Do you feel that this damn place is a bit cold?" Li Chichi also spoke.

The cave was silent, with only the sound of cold wind blowing across the bone bridge, bringing out bursts of soft whistles.

Taoist Meihua walked forward carefully and cautiously, and came to the end of the bone bridge, only a few feet away from the bronze coffin standing in the air.

"Why do I feel like someone is spying on me?"

Wei Yituo touched the goose bumps on his arms caused by the cold wind. He knew there was no one else around except them, but he felt as if there were faint gazes falling on him. He didn't know where they came from, and they were so dense that it seemed as if there were a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness on all sides.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How come I didn't feel anything? Don't panic. Taoist Meihua, go forward and open the coffin. I want to see what's hidden inside." Lei Zun Tou Tuo said.

Taoist Plum Blossom took a step forward, with a bitter look on his face. “To raise a corpse in this Yin-gathering place, and to attract countless poisonous gases from the earth veins, I’m afraid there is a demon corpse in the coffin. Once it is released and gains Yang energy, it will probably resurrect on the spot. The Feng Shui here is so bad that it would not be too much of a stretch to raise a drought demon or a flying yaksha. Old Taoist, old Taoist…”

Before he finished speaking, Lei Zun Tou Tuo raised the stone ball in his hand. The stone ball was yin and yang, and was transformed by the magnetic yin and yang divine thunder. When the cathode and anode collided, a large amount of lightning burst out, spreading countless power: "You are afraid of the flying corpse, but are you not afraid of my yin and yang magnetic thunder ball?"

He looked at the bronze coffin with a greedy look on his face: "Not to mention the tricks inside the coffin, even if there are one or two burial objects, it would be considered a gain. If nothing, it wouldn't be a wasted trip to take out the corpse and refine it!" After saying that, he urged Taoist Meihua to come forward.

Taoist Meihua had no choice but to hesitate for a while. Just as he was about to fly to the bronze coffin, he suddenly poked his head out and said, "Look, everyone, there are words on the coffin!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Zun Tou Tuo hurried forward. With his superb eyesight, he saw the densely packed small characters on the coffin: "Exhausting the destiny of heaven and earth... The secret of plundering the sun and the moon... "Devil Art of Devouring Heaven and Earth"?!"

As soon as he recognized a few words, he turned around and said, "Don't look at me. There are magic skills here, and the devil is everywhere. Be careful of being ambushed!"

But how could the crowd listen to him? If they didn't look at anything, it would be a waste of time. After a closer look, they made another discovery.

"There is also a technique on the stone wall behind the coffin. Let me take a look... Cold Light and Ice Soul Divine Palm!" Li Chichi was overjoyed. "Thousand Spiders and Ten Thousand Poisons Technique!"

"Northern Sword Technique!"

Wei Yituo and Sun Yu also quickly found their favorites. The crowded bone bridge soon could not accommodate the excited people. Then they did not care about the loss of magic power. They all soared into the sky, with fanatical expressions on their faces, no longer indifferent, and devoted their attention to the small tadpole-like characters.

After all, Lei Zun Tou Tuo was more accomplished in Taoism, and he felt a chill in his heart. He quickly broke free from the magic text. He looked up and found that the old Taoist priest Meihua was nowhere to be seen. He looked back again and even the boy from Shushan was nowhere to be seen. He thought to himself that something was wrong and was about to alert everyone.

He looked back suddenly, and his heart sank. He saw that the witch Li Chichi had flown over the bronze coffin and pounced on the stone wall. On the stone wall, a cold light and icy scriptures were shining. As soon as Li Chichi approached, she was wrapped in the cold light. Frost marks clung to her body, but her face was full of fanaticism and she was unaware of it.

Sun Yu and Wei Yituo were in the same situation, except that one had his flesh and bones cut by the sword and was bleeding, while the other had poisonous insects surging in his body and wandering around.

Lei Zun Tou Tuo was shocked and threw the stone ball in his hand. It turned into two thunderclouds, pushing the clouds into rain, illuminating a large open space. The rain was in the form of lightning snakes and lightning insects. There were bursts of exploding lightning and roaring sounds, but even so, it could not wake up the people who were possessed by the devil.

He couldn't help feeling a little frightened, and gave up all his plans. He turned around and was about to flee, but the small words on the bronze coffin had an indescribable magic. As he was about to leave, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the magic.

There were crisp sounds inside Lei Zun Tou Tuo's body, his tendons and bones were broken, and his upper and lower bodies seemed to be in conflict with each other, one moving forward and the other moving backward, tearing a wound on him that was bleeding profusely.

The smell of blood filled the air, alarming something in the cave. The stalactites and limestones suddenly moved, and upon closer inspection, they realized that they were not rocks at all, but milky white spiders disguised as stone bedrock. Lei Zun Tou Tuo finally understood where the sense of being watched came from, but it was too late.

When the rock beads smelled the blood, they woke up instantly and immediately sealed the cave entrance where everyone came from, as if they wanted to surround their prey and enjoy it slowly.

The first to suffer were Wei Yituo and his poisonous insects. When a rock spider crawled by, the highly poisonous poisonous creatures, scorpions, venomous snakes and the like were torn into pieces, dismembered and eaten by the spiders in a flash. The spiders had no effect on the poison that had harmed countless people. After eating dessert, they enjoyed the main meal. Wei Yituo, who had a look of obsession on his face, had his body covered with spiders, which were tearing at his flesh and swallowing his bone marrow. However, he was unaware of it and was focused on looking at the poisonous words, intoxicated and without even a scream.

The only sober monk, Lei Zun, had no time to care about others. He started blasting with the Yuanci divine thunder. Lightning bolts as thick as water buckets combed the spiders. However, there were so many rock spiders in each cave that they were countless. After splitting for a long time, there were not many gaps.

Just as his heart was in his throat and he was about to use some life-threatening methods, the group of rock beads swallowed Wei Yituo and gradually fell silent. They each found a place to lie down, and did not move at all, like real rocks.

Lei Zun Tou Tuo did not dare to land. Looking at the increasingly narrow escape cave entrance, he flew hurriedly. At this moment, the cave shook violently, and then a bright white light shone in all directions. The originally dark and pitch-black cave revealed a crack, and through the crack, a full moon could be seen outside.

But the monk only felt a chill rushing to his forehead. How deep was he? It was the place where the earth veins were, which could be called the bottom of the nine netherworlds. How could there be a crack to see the full moon?

Ka Ka Ka

The moonlight was shining, and dense sounds were heard. Lei Zun Tou Tuo turned around and saw that Li Chizhi had not moved. Frost covered his body, and even his expression was frozen. Then he turned into a large lump of ice, and the sound of ice breaking resounded through the air.

As the noise became more and more urgent, Li Chi Chi could no longer move, and even his magic power could not be maintained. He fell straight down into the black pool. His whole body shattered into tiny pieces of aspic, and even his blood turned into red ice.

In the blink of an eye, the black pool suddenly overturned, and the cave shook violently, throwing off countless rock spiders. A noisy sound was heard, and the spiders suddenly started fighting. All kinds of arthropods wrapped in spider blood rolled into the black pool, dyeing a large area of ​​the pool water red. Even the blood from the shattered body of Li Chichi began to melt and flow into the pool.

A cold blood light appeared, and Lei Zun Tou Tuo could see clearly that under the black water, there was a huge array plate with grooves inside, centered around the bronze coffin.

The black water quickly turned into a blood fountain and rushed straight onto the coffin mound. The coffin mound was washed by the blood, but there was no trace of red, as if it had absorbed the blood fountain as well.

thump—

A slight sound was heard, which startled Lei Zun Tou Tuo. He heard it clearly. The sound was clearly coming from the coffin. It sounded real, like a heartbeat, and also like... something was waking up.

He didn't have time to care about anything else and quickly flew towards the cave entrance. Behind him, there was a loud bang, and the lid of the bronze coffin suddenly flew up, revealing a shriveled arm.

“Ho~ho——”

The fleeing Lei Zun Tou Tuo froze, and he felt a large cold hand covering his bald head.
