Urban Witcher

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Although the ancient tomb was originally a place for coffins, it was the first time for everyone to see the coffins in such a place, and they were very curious.

"I don't know if there are any corpses in this coffin." Mao Xiaofang muttered, but was immediately refuted by Chen Xiaoyu: "Nonsense, the coffin is for corpses, how could there be no corpses?"

Miao Xin said: "The key is, whose corpse is parked here, it cannot be the tomb owner's corpse."

For such a large ancient tomb, the owner of the tomb is of course parked in the middle of the ancient tomb, on top of the Fengshui aura, it is impossible to place it in a small and unventilated place here.

Ye Shaoyang thought of something, lit two candles beside the coffin, let them observe first, walked out of the tomb by himself, walked deep into the tomb passage, entered an adjacent tomb, held a three-color lotus lantern to shine it on, and saw Arriving at the exact same sarcophagus... I went to several tombs, all of which were the same, and there were identical sarcophagi inside. Ye Shaoyang didn't dare to mess around, so he went back to the first tomb and told everyone what he found.

Hearing what he said, everyone was even more shocked.

"That is to say, in this tomb passage, there is a sarcophagus in all the tombs?" Mao Xiaofang said in shock.

"Maybe, I didn't go before, but I think it should be about the same."

Everyone looked at each other, and they all had the same question in their hearts: why do these sarcophagi exist, and if there are really corpses inside, what is going on with these corpses?

"Why do you think so much? Open the sarcophagus and have a look." Chen Xiaoyu suggested, walking towards the sarcophagus.

"Inappropriate!" Miao Xin stopped him immediately, and said: "These sarcophagi are definitely not placed here casually, it's best not to move them casually until you figure it out."

"If you don't move, how will you know what's going on? At least let us see what these corpses look like, so we can speculate."

After Chen Xiaoyu finished speaking, Lu Xiaoqing and Cao Yuxing also followed suit.

Ye Shaoyang understood that they couldn't be sure that after seeing the corpse, they would be able to deduce what happened. It was all out of curiosity, wanting to see what the corpse inside the sarcophagus looked like.

This can be regarded as an instinctive curiosity about the unknown, and Ye Shaoyang himself is the same.

"Miaoxin, let's open the coffin and have a look. I don't know where it is if I want to find another place. It shouldn't be a problem to open the coffin first. Even if it's a dead body, with a few of us around, it should be fine. "

Miao Xin herself was also curious. Hearing what Wu Tong said, she didn't want to go against everyone's wishes, so she said: "It's just a matter of opening the coffin. If there's anything wrong, everyone's better not to touch it."

With Miao Xin's permission, Chen Xiaoyu, Lu Xiaoqing, and Cao Yuxing were very happy. They found candles, lit them, held them in their hands, and took a circle around the lower edge of the sarcophagus to make sure that the sarcophagus' lid and the coffin itself were safe. They were separated, so Cao Yuxing was asked to hold the small head of the coffin alone, and the two stood in front of the big head, each holding one side, and lifting it up vigorously.

Ye Shaoyang originally thought that the sarcophagus would not be able to be lifted with brute force, but he did not expect that the three of them actually lifted the lid of the sarcophagus, although it was a bit difficult.

"Be careful, it's leveled!"

Under Miao Xin's instructions, the three of them put the removed coffin lid on the ground, and Ye Shaoyang immediately picked up the three-color lotus lantern and shone it into the coffin——

A glistening liquid.

Looking closer, it was a puddle of water, very clear, and there was no corpse in it, but...a fish floating in the water.

The fish is about the length of an adult's hand, and the scales on its body are dark green, reflecting a cold light under the light.

"What the hell!"

Several people present were shocked. In their vision, they were already looking forward to seeing corpses in coffins... No matter what kind of corpses, even zombies, are completely acceptable, but in the end there were no corpses, there was water, and fish... This is simply far beyond Contrary to everyone's expectations, they all stared at this fish for a while.

"This is a ghost fish." Ye Shaoyang said.

Everyone gasped.

The word "ghost fish" has not only been heard by mages, but even among the people, there are many legends about it: in many places, there are such ghost fish in waters, ponds, or ditches. It is strange to say that this kind of fish has no official name, and no one knows what species it belongs to, and the number is very small. Sometimes when fishing with nets, this kind of ghost fish will occasionally be brought up, usually not big. At most, it is as long as a finger. If you catch this kind of fish, you must absolutely not eat it. You must release it quickly. Because of folklore, this fish is turned into a dead person, so it can only be seen in waters where people have died.

Of course, this is just a legend. According to the magic world, ghost fish are transformed after the death of a resentful person. The premise is that the corpse rots in the water. This kind of ghost fish is not considered a decent creature, strictly speaking it is an evil spirit, but it does not hurt people and does not eat. It consumes the resentment of the dead, and when the resentment is exhausted, the ghost fish will melt and disappear.

Therefore, ghost fish generally do not grow large.

Everyone was surprised to see the ghost fish in the coffin. Can't help but look carefully. Lu Xiaoqing moved the candle closer, and just about to take a closer look, the ghost fish suddenly slapped its tail, and some water splashed up, which just splashed onto Lu Xiaoqing's face.

This sudden turn of events startled Lu Xiaoqing too, and hurriedly backed away, wiping the water off his face with his hand.

Several other people were also taken aback by this sudden change, and retreated one after another.

"It's okay, Senior Brother Lu, is there a problem with the water?" Chen Xiaoyu was still very concerned about Lu Xiaoqing.

Lu Xiaoqing kept wiping his face, spit on the ground, and cursed: "It's okay, it's just too disgusting, what kind of water is this, there are ghost fish, it must have been lying on the corpse..."

The more Lu Xiaoqing thought about it, the more disgusted he became. He turned on the kettle he carried with him, washed his face with his hands, then went back to the side of the coffin, took a look inside, was stunned, and asked in a low voice, "Where's the fish?"

Ye Shaoyang pointed to the bottom of the coffin, where there was a circular hole. After the ghost fish was startled by Lu Xiaoqing, it swam down this small hole. When it was illuminated with a candle, it was dark and there was nothing there. Know where it leads.

The discovery of this situation is even more shocking than the discovery of ghost fish before.

"How could there be a hole in the coffin, and where did it go?" Mao Xiaofang's words expressed the doubts in everyone's mind.

"The most important thing is, why doesn't the water flow down?" Wutong murmured.

Ye Shaoyang said: "Since the fish can swim down, it means there must be water below."
