Reincarnation Train Restart [Unlimited]

After everything calmed down, the three of them were still recovering from the shock just now.

At this time, Wu Xiajiu suddenly touched his neck and felt that it was difficult to breathe. He gasped silently for a few times before he relieved a little.

Immediately, Wu Xiajiu looked at Tao Bin and Professor Zhao beside him, and an inexplicable thought arose in his heart.

——He wanted to push the two of them down and watch them smash their heads and bleed.

No, no.

As soon as this idea came out, Wu Xiajiu immediately closed his eyes, denying it in his heart, and then he opened his eyes and looked to the side.

Seeing this, Wu Xiajiu's eyes were immediately attracted by the position on the top of a mountain cliff in the upper corner of his line of sight.

——That place is at the upper left of the cave entrance, and it is also a stone platform that extends slightly outward.

On the stone platform is a hanging coffin with a slightly weird shape, one end is wide and the other end is narrow, and the size of the hanging coffin is not small.

But what made Wu Xiajiu frowned and stared was not only the shape of the hanging coffin, but also the location of the hanging coffin, which turned out to be in the recess of the cliff wall surrounding the fjord.

In this position, the two sides protrude a little, and the cliff in the middle is a little recessed. The hanging coffin is just placed on the stone platform, and the left and right are stuck in it, perfectly receiving the sun and the moon.

No other hanging coffins were placed around this hanging coffin.

In particular, there is nothing above it, and even the rocks are rounded at the top of the cliff very close to the hanging coffin, as if they have been polished.

This position has a unique and superior feeling.

For a long time, Wu Xia couldn't help but think of the information about the thousand-year-old hanging coffin prompted by the bracelet.

Could it be...

At this moment, Tao Bin patted Wu Xiajiu on the shoulder and asked him what he was looking at, but there was no movement for a long while.

Wu Xia regained consciousness for a long time, turned around and spoke.

After he finished speaking, he turned his body a little and stepped back, letting the two of them take a look.

Professor Zhao took off his glasses and wiped them, then put them on again for a closer look, and said after a while, "It's very possible, the hanging coffin is buried as high as possible, the tomb of the gods, the house of the gods on earth."

"This kind of cliff cave for hanging coffins is very similar, but if you want to confirm it, you have to go up and have a look."

Wu Xiajiu heard the words and observed the surroundings, he said: "There are many iron chains hanging from the cliffs of this mountain. I can drag the iron chains and step on these raised stones."

This is indeed a way.

Tao Bin wanted to go with Wu Xiajiu, but he refused.

This kind of thing can be done alone.

What's more, the hanging coffin seems to have no spare space, maybe two people can't step on it at the same time, moreover, he also needs someone here to hold the rope for him.

If something really happened, the rope tied around his waist might have saved his life if he stepped on the ground.

And if there is only Professor Zhao alone, the strength is obviously not enough, and...

"Okay then, Guanzhu, please pay attention to safety." Tao Bin said.

Wu Xiajiu nodded.

He glanced at Professor Zhao who was still observing the hanging coffin immersed in it, and whispered to Tao Bin, "Pay attention to Professor Zhao's situation, and don't turn your back on the professor."

Tao Bin was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what Wu Xiajiu meant, and expressed his understanding.

Not long after, Wu Xiajiu tied a rope around his waist, stepped out of the stone platform at the entrance of the cave, and moved his body close to the cliff wall in the direction of the hanging coffin.

Below him is the surface of the deep pool with a large shadow still on it.

Professor Zhao and Tao Bin were obviously very puzzled and shocked by this, but they temporarily suppressed the question and waited for Wu Xiajiu to return after exploring the hanging coffin.

Finally, Wu Xiajiu moved to the hanging coffin without any risk.

He found the right opportunity, climbed up, and put one hand on the coffin lid of the hanging coffin——

[Congratulations to the passengers who discovered the thousand-year-old hanging coffin and obtained relevant information——Immortal sin (to be explored)]

Wu Xiajiu's gaze paused, and then he grabbed the iron chain with one hand and pressed the lid of the hanging coffin with the other, and stepped on the stone platform with few places left.

Seeing him successfully reach the hanging coffin, Professor Zhao and Tao Bin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Wu Xiajiu leaned over and slowly stabilized his figure.

When he took a closer look, he realized that there were many patterns and words engraved on the coffin lid. No wonder the touch of his hands just now was uneven.

Looking around again by the moonlight, there are also some words engraved on the inside of the cliff next to the hanging coffin.

It's a pity that they are all unique characters of the Xun nationality, Wu Xiajiu can't understand them.

But it doesn't matter, he can write it down and print it in his mind. After all, there are people who can understand it here, and he can reproduce it all on paper when he goes back.

This hanging coffin is indeed different from others, there are no iron chains wrapped around it, and there are no ranunculus flowers blooming beside the cliff.

It is at the highest point of the mountain.

If it is at the bottom, you may not be able to see it, even if you glimpse it by chance, you will not be able to see it clearly.

It seems that if you want to get close to this hanging coffin, you can only climb rocks from the entrance of the main hall where the Xun people worship.

After writing down the patterns and words on the coffin lid, and combining the previous information, Wu Xiajiu had some guesses in his mind.

Professor Zhao and Tao Bin could see that he seemed to be remembering something, and they didn't dare to interrupt him, until Wu Xiajiu raised his head and gestured to them both to come back.

"Monastery, be careful." Tao Bin said.

He stood on the stone platform, watching Wu Xiajiu.

Behind him, Professor Zhao's eyes suddenly enlarged, and the edges of the eye sockets were a little red.

He raised his hand, but immediately quickly grasped the wrist of this hand with the other hand. Professor Zhao frowned, then turned and walked into the hall.

Wu Xiajiu, who had been observing silently, heaved a sigh of relief, and slowly put down his raised heart.

The first time was raw and the second time was familiar, Wu Xiajiu jumped onto the stone platform in a short while, was caught by Tao Bin, and the two also walked into the hall.

Tao Bin was stunned when he saw Professor Zhao here. After all, the professor was still behind him just now, so why...

Just as Tao Bin was about to open his mouth, Wu Xiajiu secretly punched him on the back.

Tao Bin turned his head bluntly, looking at Wu Xiajiu's indifferent gaze, the same red eye sockets and eyes, he finally thought of something, and silently swallowed his doubts.

Professor Zhao had sorted out his emotions at this moment, and asked, "What have you found?"

Wu Xiajiu replied, and at the same time borrowed Professor Zhao's pen and paper, and wrote down the contents in his mind exactly.

Tao Bin opened his mouth next to him, in admiration.

In such a short amount of time, with so much content, how did the temple master engrave all of it in his mind?Will he never forget?

After a long time, Wu Xiajiu said: "That's all, Professor Zhao, take a look."

"Okay." Professor Zhao took the paper and flipped through it carefully.

As time passed, the more he looked back, the more Professor Zhao's face changed. In the end, he finished reading all of them, took off his glasses, closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh.

Tao Bin couldn't help asking, "Professor...what's wrong with you?"

Wu Xiajiu said: "I think the lid of the hanging coffin should record the entire history of the Xun people, the reason why they were cursed, and the evil sacrifices they held."

"Including the existence of a dragon trapped at the bottom of this fjord deep pool, no, I was wrong, it is only accurate if it is imprisoned."

Tao Bin opened his eyes wide in surprise and astonishment, and said in a stammering voice, "Dragon, what kind of dragon? There are dragons at the bottom of the pool?"

Could that giant shadow be a dragon? !

...it's incredible.

Tao Bin thought blankly, and then he asked: "But why was he imprisoned? Yes, is he a member of the Xun tribe..."

Professor Zhao put on his glasses again, and said, "Yes, this history matches the gap in the previous bamboo slips."

"There is a dragon at the bottom of the Tianxuan Grand Canyon, which has been enshrined by the Xun people for a long time."

"Every year, they offer sacrificial cattle and sheep to the dragon, praying for good weather and a good harvest. When the flood season comes, their residence will not be flooded."

"Later, the Xun people prayed for strength, so that they fought successfully wherever they went."

"At that time, the dragon totem of the Xun clan was still intact, and the dragon did not lack a tail. However, the patriarch of the Xun clan of that generation suddenly became more greedy."

"He began to be dissatisfied with the status quo, and wanted to live an extremely long life like a dragon, and even more wanted to become a fairy after death, so he secretly planned to imprison the dragon deep in the bottom of this fjord."

"Using the trust of the dragon, he did succeed, but he can trap the dragon, but he can't kill it."

"So they cut off the dragon's tail and ate the dragon's flesh."

"In the beginning, the Xun people gained some power."

"But slowly, they gradually realized that something was wrong, and fish scales began to grow on their bodies, and the life span of each Xun tribe is usually less than 40 years old."

"Behind the dragon was trapped in the deep pool of the fjord, ranunculus flowers began to grow over time on the surrounding cliffs."

"The Xun people didn't know what kind of flower it was at first, but later they discovered that it grew out of the dragon's blood seeping into the mountain. This is the dragon's blood flower."

"In order to break the curse, the Xun people sought a way to use this flower as a medicine, and combine it with other things to make a holy pill to prolong life..."

"Is the Holy Pill really useful?" Tao Bin couldn't help asking.

Wu Xia looked at the dead Xun people in the hall for a long time and said: "Maybe it was useful at the beginning, but no matter what, if you take too much, it will form resistance in the body."

"What's more, the dragon resents the people of the Xun tribe, so how can the flowers bloomed with dragon blood be the antidote."

"Sometimes life is more tormenting than death. The Xun tribe was originally a tribe with a large number of people, but look at it now."

This may be yet another curse.

Wu Xiajiu said: "Because of the dragon's resentment, at the end of every drought period, the river in the Tianxuan Canyon will suddenly recede, and immediately after that, the flood will rush in."

"That's why the Xun people will hold sacrifices, in order to keep suppressing the dragon."

Tao Bin: "However, how can humans fight against dragons?"

"How did the Xun people imprison the dragon? Can these chains really trap the dragon?"

Wu Xiajiu pointed to the pattern he had drawn on the paper, and said: "The dragon is trapped in the hanging coffin, and the ghost corpse suppresses it."

The patterns on it include the Grand Canyon hanging from the sky, especially the location of the golden coffin, as well as the hanging coffin in the fjord, etc., which are connected into a strange figure one stroke at a time.

Wu Xiajiu explained: "The patriarch of the Xun clan should have thought and planned long ago, and he does have some miraculous abilities. He can see the natural feng shui situation in Tianxuan Canyon."

"If my guess is correct, there should be ghost corpses in all those golden coffins, not only the golden coffins, but also the hanging coffins on the cliffs surrounding the fjords.

"There are also passages in the mountainside, circular halls, stone beds, dragon-shaped stone carvings, etc."

"The purpose of all this is to use the yin and corpse qi produced by the tragic death to suppress the dragon at the bottom of the pool forever. Otherwise, once the dragon escapes from the trap, the Xun clan will be destroyed."

"The golden coffin and the hanging coffin are the nailing points. The golden coffin forms the shape of a dragon. Does it look like a dragon is nailed to death on the cliff forever?"

"The hanging coffins in the fjords are all wrapped in chains."

"And the other end of the iron chain must have been wrapped around the dragon, making it impossible for the dragon to escape, but..."

Having said that, Wu Xiajiu frowned.

Tao Bin hurriedly asked, "But what?"

Wu Xiajiu: "But I think that the arrangement of the golden coffin in the Tianxuan Canyon may have been destroyed, otherwise the iron chains and the hanging coffin would not have trembled, and the corpse would not have been revived."

"The corpse is the key to trapping the dragon."

"If one part is damaged, it's like a crack in an egg. Under the action of external force, the crack will continue to grow, and one day it will be completely broken."

"Monastery Master, do you mean that the dragon will escape?" Tao Bin swallowed and said.

Wu Xiajiu: "On the premise that the Xun people did not make up for the cracks in time, yes."

Tao Bin was silent for a while, with a complicated look on his face, as if he didn't know what to say or how he felt, and after a while, he asked, "Is the head of the Xun clan who imprisoned the dragon in the hanging coffin at the top?"

Wu Xiajiu nodded, he paused for a while, and then said: "I guess, that hanging coffin may be made of keel."

"However, in order to conceal people's eyes and ears, the real coffin is wrapped with another layer of wood, just like those golden coffins."

Tao Bin opened his mouth.

Professor Zhao pinched his eyebrows.

The hall fell silent.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from one of the passages.

The three of them couldn't help being startled, they were too immersed in the past history of the Xun people just now, and they only realized the movement now.

Wu Xiajiu waited for someone to stand up immediately, and wanted to leave, but suddenly heard a suppressed cough—it seemed to be a woman's voice, faintly floating from the passage.

Then Tao Bin suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his body froze.

Wu Xiajiu also noticed something was wrong, the footsteps didn't sound like they belonged to the Xun people.

So after such a short period of time, people in the passage gradually appeared, and it was Ayou and Xiaofang.

They found it here too.

When the two parties first met, they were quite surprised.

But the person who was more surprised and excited was Tao Bin.

Tears welled up in his eyes, his lips trembled and he looked behind Mr. V, trembling all over, as if he couldn't believe it.

It wasn't until Professor Zhao blurted out "Suman" that Tao Bin finally seemed to be awakened suddenly, and rushed towards the woman who was being supported to stand.

The disheveled woman also stepped forward with tears streaming down her cheeks, and though her steps were faltering, her steps were firm.

Seeing this, Mr. V slowly let go of the hand holding the woman, and took a step back to make room.

Finally, the two mother and son reunited, hugged each other, and cried bitterly.

Ah You walked to Wu Xiajiu's side, glanced at the fish scales on his neck, and said, "You have grown out too."

Wu Xia hummed for a long time, and looked at him, but he didn't see any fish scales growing on Ah You's body.

Ah You saw what Wu Xiajiu meant, smiled softly, stretched out his arm to him, rolled up his sleeves, and the fish scales grew on his arm, but did not spread to it.

Wu Xiajiu asked, "How did you find Tao Bin's mother?"

Ah You: "It's a long story, but we not only found Tao Bin's mother, but also this thing."

As he spoke, he took out a stone box from his pocket. The stone box was only the size of a palm, and it was designed with a slotted lid. Pushing it forward, the contents inside were revealed.

Wu Xiajiu saw it, opened his eyes immediately, and said, "Holy pill?"

Ah You: "That's right, it's the Holy Pill, but there are only three of them."

"When we found it, there were two stone boxes, but the other one was accidentally destroyed by the Xun people."

Wu Xiajiu noticed that the clothes of Ah You, Xiao Fang and Mr. V were more or less stained with blood, so he asked what happened.

It just so happened that Tao Bin and his mother Su Man had eased from the joy of reunion, and their emotions gradually became calm.

Suman came over with Tao Bin's support.

Suman's clothes were torn, and there were traces of being tied up with iron chains on his hands and feet for a long time. Some places even healed after being broken, but after healed, new injuries were added, leaving a lot of scars.

She was extremely thin, standing there, as if she could fall down if blown by the wind.

Her hair was disheveled and scattered behind her, and she hadn't been taken care of for a long time, her face was even thinner and pale, without any trace of blood.

If it weren't for the belief that supported her in her heart, she would have fallen down long ago during the two years when the Xun clan was trapped.

This belief is undoubtedly her son Tao Bin.

The moment he saw Tao Bin, Su Man's eyes suddenly glowed with astonishing brilliance.

Ah You said: "We first found the stone room where the Xun people with fish scales were imprisoned..."

They fought with the Xun people in that stone room, and Mr. V first noticed Tao Bin's mother.

He didn't recognize that it was Suman at first. After all, although Tao Bin had shown them the photos before entering the mountain belly, the woman in the photos had a happy smile, which was completely different from the haggard woman in front of him.

The reason why Mr. V noticed it was because this woman was very different from other locked-up Xun people.

——She is very conscious, even though the fish scales on her body have spread to her face, her eyes have not mutated to be like fish eyes, they are still clear.

It was only later that the more Mr. V looked at it, the more familiar it became.

After that, some ghosts also crawled up following the movement, and after rescuing Tao Bin's mother, they retreated tactically.

But there are still people from the Xun tribe and Yin corpses chasing after him.

Fortunately, Tao Bin's mother said that she knew the location of the stone room where the Holy Pill was hidden. She sneaked into the Xun tribe back then and was caught just when she was about to find the Holy Pill.

So, Ayou and others found Shengdan according to Suman's prompt.

It's a pity that one of the two boxes of holy pills was accidentally destroyed by the Xun people during the fight.

Although Ayou's narration was concise, Wu Xiajiu, Professor Zhao and Tao Bin could still hear the danger.

Xiao Fang finally went on to say: "We escaped here with great difficulty. We didn't eat one of the holy pills, but there were only three in it."

Suman said in a weak tone at this time: "Sacred pills need to be remade every year."

"Wait for the end of the drought period and when the river has completely receded, the patriarch will lead the tribe to the fjord, go down to the bottom of the pool to take some dragon meat, and make a holy pill with the ranunculus flowers."

"At that time, it would be very dangerous to take dragon meat, but it had to be taken."

"If you don't take the Holy Pill, you won't be able to extend your life. The Xun people will perish soon, and for safety, the Xun people hold sacrifices every year..."

This kind of sacrifice can reduce the danger of resenting the dragon when the dragon meat is taken away at the end of the dry season.

Secondly, it is to calm down the torrential flood during the flood season.

After the sacrifice is completed, the resentful dragon will fall into a deep sleep, and the river will slowly flow back.

Wu Xiajiu and the others also knew what the sacrifice was.

Wu Xiajiu took advantage of Suman's words and told what they had discovered along the way.

Xiao Fang and Mr. V couldn't help but go to the entrance of the cave and look down and up for a while.

After returning, Xiao Fang touched the fish scales on his face and said, "I really want to go down and see the dragon. You said that after I grow fish scales, can I breathe freely underwater?"

Suman was weak and could not stand for long.

Before walking all the way, and seeing his son's emotional outburst, now that he has calmed down, his body is exhausted one after another.

She was supported by Tao Bin and sat on the edge of the altar. Hearing this, she shook her head and said, "No, the Xun people don't dare to go near the water after they grow fish scales."

"It's fine during the day, but once it gets close to the water at night, it's very likely that it will be pulled down by the water ghost inside and drowned."

"When you fall into the water, you will soon suffocate and die, cough cough."

As she spoke, Suman lowered her head and coughed twice, and Tao Bin hurriedly patted her on the back.

Suman smiled at his son, and continued: "The curse on the Xun tribe has not diminished with the passage of time, but it has become more serious when there is not enough holy pills."

"In the past, as long as fish scales grew, you might only need to eat one holy pill, but later, you need two, or even three holy pills to work."

"Ordinary Xun people sometimes can't get the Holy Pill at all."

"Some of them will die painfully after growing fish scales before the age of 40..."

"And some of them will be brought here to be imprisoned. When the fish scales are not fully grown at the end of the drought period, they will be made into ghost corpses and used for sacrifice."

"I, cough cough, my mother is from the Xun tribe, and my father was accidentally washed by the river near the residence of the Xun tribe. My mother rescued him and secretly hid my father in the house."

"Later, the two fell in love, but one day the patriarch finally found out that an outsider had entered here, so the father was dragged away and drowned."

"The mother woke up after passing out and found out that she was pregnant."

"I was begged to stay alive. When I grew up, my mother was dragged away to worship the river god."

"I saw the photos brought by my father when I was a child, and I knew something about the outside world, so I started thinking about running away."

"Saying is my only friend. After helping me escape, he was punished..."

It was only after Suman was arrested that he found out what happened to Sa Ang.

During the two years she was locked in the mountain belly, Sa Ang came over to deliver meals, and Suman would sometimes tell him about the outside world and her family.

As for the reason why she has not been sacrificed, it is because the fish scales on her body grow slower than other Xun people. After being fed a holy pill by the patriarch for an experiment, the fish scales faded once.

But soon, it grew again the next year, this time more slowly.

Therefore, the patriarch Saiha guessed that she was born due to intermarriage between the Xun people and foreigners.

Suman looked at Tao Bin and said, "You haven't grown fish scales yet, that should be the reason."
