This Damned Thirst for Survival

Tenbi was exploring the way ahead. They closed their eyes, leaned on the wall with one hand, and grabbed the clothes of the person in front of them with the other, carefully going down the stairs step by step.

Until they stepped on the flat ground, the three of them were not affected by the hanging soul ladder.

After the hanging soul ladder, the space suddenly opened up, and the surrounding mud walls also turned into stone walls, and there was a wide circular space in front of it.

There are old furniture and furnishings here, and there are many antique appliances that are very valuable at first glance.These things were placed in an antique hall, and each of them was worth tens of thousands of gold.Behind the hall is a stone gate with a pair of couplets engraved on the left and right sides of the stone gate.On the left is engraved "doing things without a death case", and on the right is engraved "you can still survive the entry".

After Jiang Luo read these two sentences, he said thoughtfully, "Hall of the King of Hell."

Tenbi turned his head and looked at him suspiciously.

Jiang Luo explained: "These two sentences are a couplet written by a literati at the end of the Ming Dynasty to the Temple of the King of the Underworld. Go back to your body and be a human again before it rots."

Teng Bi wrote down the meaning of these two sentences, and said, "I have never heard of this sentence."

Jiang Luo said: "When you died, it should have been before the end of Ming Dynasty, right?"

Tenbi nodded slightly.

Jiang Luo walked up to the stone gate, "Such a large ancient tomb is generally divided into three parts. The first part is the Hades, the middle part is the bedroom where the coffin is placed, and the back is the place where the funeral objects are placed. Look here, the tomb The time when the master died should not be very long ago, maybe it was the Qing Dynasty, or it might be the Republic of China."

He carefully looked at the Bodhisattva carving on the stone gate, "Buddhist Sanskrit... I don't know much about ancient tombs, but the owner of the tomb should believe in Buddhism. I'm actually curious who the owner of the tomb is, as long as he can build a tomb in longan, It’s unbelievable.”

Ten Bi thought, "Could it be someone from the industry?"

Jiang Luo nodded, "Even if it's not Mr. Feng Shui Kanyu, at least it's deeply involved in this aspect."

It was useless to guess here, Teng Bi pushed the stone door open with brute force, but there was no sleeping hall where the coffins were placed behind the door, but a long passage instead.

Jiang Luo and Teng Bi walked forward side by side. Compared to the anxiety before finding Longan, Jiang Luo was not in a hurry now.And there are dragon veins suppressing in the tomb, no evil spirits will appear, they just need to pay attention to the mechanism in the ancient tomb.

The road is very long, and Teng Bi asked abruptly, "Did you know that I recovered my memory?"

Jiang Luo smiled, and said gracefully: "It's not too early, since you started calling me by my name instead of my friend in the trainee dormitory, I realized that you are no longer a dead ghost."

Teng Bi didn't expect that he was exposed so early, he didn't know what to say for a while, and after a long time, he whispered: "I'm sorry."

"You don't have to say sorry to me," Jiang Luo put away his smile, "Teng Bi, I have never fully trusted you. Your deception didn't hurt me much. But people are different, you should go and truly trust Your people apologized instead of saying this to me."

Teng Bi felt as if a stone was pressing on his heart, and the stone was getting heavier and heavier, making him almost out of breath.He said dryly: "He..."

Needless to say "his" name, both Jiang Luo and Teng Bi knew who they were referring to.

Jiang Luo suddenly felt a little annoyed.For example, he and Chi You, such as Teng Bi and Lu Yi, just thinking about it will make him feel depressed, and he wants to smoke again.

"He regards you as a true friend." Jiang Luo suppressed his irritability, "It's the first time he experienced a backstab from a friend, and you can be regarded as adding a valuable life experience to him."

Seeing Teng Bi's ugly face, Jiang Luo finally said: "After you left, he was sad for a long time."

He only had a few short words, but Teng Bi's lips were tightly pursed and drawn into a straight line.The living dead frowned, and unconsciously clenched their hands into fists, looking in an indescribable pain.

Jiang Luo looked at him for a few seconds, then said to himself, "Can the living dead know how sad they are?"

Teng Bi opened his lips, "...Yes."

Jiang Luo suddenly had a strong desire to ask another question, would the evil spirit be sad?

But his rationality suppressed this desire, Jiang Luo pursed his lips, and walked forward with Teng Bi in silence.

Behind them, the bouncing Lisa suddenly stopped, as if she heard something.

Lisa listened attentively, and after a few seconds, her clever eyes gradually became absent-minded.After a few more seconds, Lisa stood up straight and continued to follow behind Jiang Luo and Teng Bi.

The little girl looked perfectly normal, but her eyes were dull.

Walking out of the long corridor, they came to the bedroom where the coffin was placed.

There is a sarcophagus in the center of the huge sleeping hall.The sarcophagus is extremely tall, more than double the size of a normal coffin.Jiang Luo took a closer look and found that there were 28 constellations engraved on the top of the sarcophagus.

Teng Bi put away his other emotions, looked at Jiang Luo and said, "What are we looking for in Longyan?"

Jiang Luo saw the Sanskrit auspicious clouds at the bottom of the sarcophagus from the 28 constellations on the sarcophagus, "The most essential thing in the dragon's eyes is of course the dragon's tears, which is the Longquan that Taoist Weihe said. Longquan can quench the body, but the power is too pure , On the contrary, there will be too much effect. If Longquan is found, we only need to take away the amount of a water bottle."

Ten Bi looked at the water glass on the side of the backpack and nodded.He looked around, listened for a while, and then sniffed his nose.

His five senses were sensitive, but probably because the ancient tomb was full of thick stones, which blocked the transmission of sound, Tenbi didn't hear any sound of water, nor did he smell any damp smell.

He shook his head towards Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo clicked his tongue, looked around the bedroom, and then looked at the coffin of the owner of the tomb.The owner of the tomb was too mysterious, so he really wanted to open the coffin to satisfy his curiosity, but Jiang Luo couldn't do such a thing to lift the lid of someone else's coffin for his own curiosity.

He was about to check whether there was a funnel in the dormitory, but he saw Lisa go straight to the coffin and touched the coffin.

In the next moment, Lisa lifted the coffin with force.

The heavy sarcophagus lid hit the ground with a "boom", stirring up a cloud of dust.There is another coffin in the sarcophagus. Lisa put her hand on the second coffin without blinking her glasses, and was about to concoct it according to the law. Ten Bi quickly grabbed her hand and threw her out, saying defensively: "Lisa ,What are you doing?"

Lisa stabilized her figure, raised her dull eyes to look at Ten Bi, and suddenly stretched out her hand.

The soft five fingers that belonged to the little girl spread out, and there were fish-like webs in the fingers.The film wrapped her palms one by one, and Lisa's fingers also became slender like bones, and her nails became sharp and slightly curved, turning into sharp claws in a blink of an eye.

A strong fishy smell permeated the tomb.

Teng Bi drew out the big knife on his body, and said in a deep voice, "Jiang Luo, you hide aside."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lisa rushed towards him expressionlessly.

Lisa's claws collided violently with Tenbi's broadsword, sparking dazzling sparks.Lisa's fighting power was not as strong as Teng Bi's, and she quickly fell behind.But Lisa didn't seem to know the pain, no matter how much she was injured, she rushed forward in the next second regardless.Ten Bi dodged her heart claw and hit Lisa's back knee hard with the blade. Lisa's legs went limp and she knelt directly on the ground.But she quickly raised her head and spit out fish fry from her mouth.

The fry were spat on Teng Bi's body, and they quickly got into Teng Bi's clothes, constantly biting Teng Bi's skin, trying to get into Teng Bi's flesh and blood.Tenbi's movements were interrupted, and he could only temporarily stop and crush the fish fry one by one. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lisa got up and rushed to the side of the coffin. The cover was overturned again.

The coffin lid slammed down on Jiang Luo's side, and the arc-shaped coffin was turned upside down, just like an overturned turtle, and the inner part wobbled towards Jiang Luo.

There are many scratches from fingernails in the inner shell.

Jiang Luo was stunned for a moment, squatted down and took a flashlight to carefully illuminate the scratches, stretched out his hand to touch them, and there were layers of uneven marks.

These are scratch marks from the coffin... This means that the people in the coffin were still alive when they were locked in the coffin.

Jiang Luo's expression turned serious, but he soon discovered something new.

These marks are obviously new and old, layer upon layer. What makes one's scalp tingle is that the latest nail marks look like they were scratched out just today.

Jiang Luo scratched the inside of the coffin lid, and in terms of the newness and oldness of the marks, his nail marks were indistinguishable from the latest nail marks on the coffin.

This is scary.

This is simply not something humans can do.

Could it be that the owner of the tomb has never died and was locked in a coffin for hundreds of years?Or is it that the owner of the tomb died and lived again, lived and died, and was suffocated to death countless times in the coffin, so countless new and old scratches were left behind?

Both of these possibilities are a bit scary.Jiang Luo looked up at the coffin. Lisa, who was standing next to the coffin, switched targets after opening the coffin, and started fighting with Teng Bi again.

Lisa's state is also not right, she is obviously being controlled.

Apart from the three of them here, there is only the owner of the tomb as a "person". If she is controlled, she can only be controlled by the owner of the tomb.

Jiang Luo looked solemn, he stood up carefully, and slowly approached the coffin.

Inside the coffin lay a man in a long robe and jacket.

The man's complexion was pale, his lips were blue and purple, and his chest didn't rise and fall. He was obviously a dead person.Judging by his clothes, he should be from the period of the Republic of China, but now, the corpse has not rotted at all, except that he is not breathing, this man seems to have fallen asleep.

The man also looks very distinctive, with several flame-like marks on his face, which looks very similar to Lian Xue and Lian Bing when they were controlled by Shikigami.

Jiang Luo covered his mouth and nose, and stretched out his hand to test the tip of the man's nose, but he didn't breathe.

Since there is no breathing, how did those old and new scratches come from?

Jiang Luo frowned, looking at Teng Bi and Lisa who were fighting together.

Lisa's other paw is also webbed, and her two hands are extremely sticky, allowing Lisa to lie on the walls and arc tops like a gecko.She could always find the most tricky angle to rush to Teng Bi's shoulder, take a bite of flesh and then leave quickly. After going back and forth several times, Teng Bi was also a little embarrassed.

Teng Bi's strength was suppressed a lot by the dragon's veins, the most obvious thing is that his recovery from injuries has slowed down a lot.Jiang Luo really wanted to help, but he couldn't use his strength, otherwise his body would collapse again.Just as he was thinking about how to sneak attack, the corpse in the coffin suddenly breathed.

Jiang Luo noticed the strangeness of the corpse in time, he immediately took out the dagger and laid it across the neck of the corpse, staring closely at the corpse.

The breathing of the corpse changed from weak to strong, and he seemed to be alive again. Two minutes later, the corpse opened his eyes, which were also as red as flames.When seeing Jiang Luo, the corpse froze for a moment, then asked ecstatically, "Who are you, are you sent by the fateful people?!"

Destiny man.

Jiang Luo's eyes darkened.

He pursed his lips, "That's right, I'm sent by Fate, what do you want to say to me?"

The corpse almost wept with joy, he touched the air with trembling hands, the original coffin lid was gone, and he finally saw the light of day again.The tortured corpse was completely unaware of the dagger that Jiang Luo put on his neck, he said incoherently: "The coffin has been opened, it has finally been opened... I am relieved, I don't have to die again and again to come back to life , there is no need to absorb the power of the dragon veins here... Fateman, did the Fateman succeed? Has the Fateman become a god?!"

The information in the words can be described as turbulent, Jiang Luo sneered, "Yeah, Destiny-"

The corpse suddenly passed out.

Jiang Luo stopped abruptly and stared at the corpse more vigilantly.

After a few seconds, the corpse opened its eyes again.

It was clearly the same face, but the eyes of the corpse this time made Jiang Luo very familiar.

Compassion and tolerance are the eyes of the fateful man.

This look is not the look of a human being, but the look of a god.But when he saw Jiang Luo, there were slight ripples in his loving and ruthless eyes.

Immediately, the fateful man smiled and said, "Long time no see, Jiang Luo."

Jiang Luo stabbed him on the neck mercilessly.

The fateful man's neck was pierced by him, and the false god who descended here was still smiling, but there was some helplessness in the smile.He suddenly stretched out his arm, grabbed Jiang Luo's hand, and dragged him into the coffin.

The figures of the two people disappeared in the mechanism at the bottom of the coffin.
