Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 166: When the coffin falls to the ground, something strange will happen

As I was guessing, the man squatting like a cat slowly turned his head and looked at me.

Now I can see more clearly.

It is indeed a human face!

There were some scars on the wrinkled old face, but his facial features were somewhat similar to Su Meng's.

They say a nephew is like an uncle.

I guess he must be Su Meng's uncle, Old Man Su's elder brother-in-law!

"Old Su, look over there." I nudged Old Man Su with my elbow.

Old man Su, who was staring at the coffin, then looked in the direction of my finger.

After just one look, he fell to the ground.

He grabbed my arm tightly with both hands and said in a trembling voice, "It's my brother-in-law Su Tiansheng!"

"He, why is he here?!"

Old Man Su's father-in-law also had the surname Su, so it was a lucky move for him to marry into the family.

The child born in this way also has the surname Su.

People who are not familiar with him would not know that he is a son-in-law.

Su Tiansheng, who was squatting over there, also saw Old Man Su.

He tilted his head.

He raised his hand and licked the palm of his hand like a cat licking its paw, and then made a sound like a child crying.

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

It was not the cry of a child that a fifty-year-old man could make, but it came clearly from Su Tiansheng's mouth.

He looked at Su Lou and Su Sheng deeply, then rushed out like a cat.

Swish!

Su Tiansheng ran quickly through the mountains and forests on all fours.

Although the movements are like those of a cat, human limbs are different from those of a cat.

So his movements of running on all fours were a little awkward.

Cui Hao, who was squatting behind another tree, exclaimed, "Is that a bobcat or a lynx?"

"No, why does it look like a human?"

"Could it be the legendary mandrill?"

Su Lou interrupted with a tearful voice: "Yes, he's my uncle!"

"What?!"

Cui Hao and others were stunned.

"That's your great uncle?"

"It really has become almost like a cat."

"But why is he running after the coffin?"

Su Tiansheng ran out of the woods and rushed towards the coffin-carrying team.

"careful!"

He noticed something rushing towards him and shouted quickly.

But he shouted too late.

Su Tiansheng jumped into the air and hit the coffin hard.

Boom!

The coffin was hit and swayed to the right.

The young men carrying the coffin could not withstand the huge impact and fell to the ground one after another.

Bang!

Immediately afterwards, the coffin fell to the ground and rolled over.

Clang.

The coffin lid flipped open due to inertia.

Fortunately, there were ropes tied at both the front and back of the coffin, so the coffin lid was not completely opened, only a gap was exposed.

After knocking over the coffin, Su Tiansheng turned around and ran, rushed into the bushes and went up the mountain.

He moved so fast that we couldn't even keep up with him.

"Lao Su, why did your brother-in-law hit the coffin?" I wondered.

There are so many weird things happening tonight.

From the coffin-carrying team to Su Tiansheng, everything was weird.

"I do not know either."

"But the thing in that coffin is probably not simple."

"Master Chen, I suggest we just run for our lives and not get involved in this mess!"

Old man Su was only thinking about escaping.

He didn't even want to save his brother-in-law's life.

But I have to think about my own life.

The strangeness of Su Tiansheng may come from the cave.

Could his behavior of banging the coffin tonight be related to the thing in the cave?

I have no choice but to wade into this muddy water.

"Let's go and see what's going on with the coffin."

I stood up and walked towards the coffin-bearing team.

Cui Hao and the other two were behind me, but Old Man Su and his family didn't catch up.

They huddled behind a tree, whispering to each other as if they were discussing something.

The coffin-carrying team was in chaos.

The leader was shocked and angry: "How can you let the coffin fall to the ground?!"

"When the coffin hits the ground, something strange will happen!"

"It's unlucky, very unlucky!"

"What should I do? What should I do?"

The leader was spinning around in a panic.

But he didn't notice that water was flowing out from the gap in the coffin lid.

The flowing water gathered under the coffin.

Gradually, the ground under the coffin became wet.

Wu Gengsheng, who had just been scolded by Gangtou, slipped and almost fell when he walked to the coffin.

He lowered his head and took a closer look before noticing something unusual about the coffin.

"Gangtou, come and see!"

"Water is leaking from the coffin!"

“And it stinks!”

As he shouted, everyone looked towards the coffin.

Only then did he notice that water was leaking out of the coffin.

"Water is really flowing out. What's going on?"

"The child was fine when he was buried. There wasn't a drop of water in the coffin. How come it's leaking now?"

"This child died a violent death. Could he be a wronged soul..."

"Hiss! Don't say that so late at night."

The more they talked, the more horrified they became.

Gangtou's face also turned pale and red.

When the coffin falls to the ground, it means that at least one more person in the deceased's family will die.

The usual solution is to have the deceased's relatives grab a handful of dirt from where the coffin has landed, and sprinkle the dirt on the coffin while chanting "Come back, soul!", so as to let the frightened soul return to the coffin.

The leader gritted his teeth and said, "Lift up the coffin!"

The guys carrying the coffin hesitated for a moment, then pulled the ropes tied at both ends of the coffin, trying to straighten it first.

quack!

The coffin hadn't moved yet when the rope broke under the heavy weight.

Bang!

Without the rope to hold it in place, the coffin lid flipped down completely.

Wow!

The water in the coffin rushed out.

This was followed by a strong stench of corpse.

Everyone was so irritated that they covered their noses and quickly retreated: "Why is it so smelly!"

"It stinks... Look inside the coffin!"

"Oh my god!"

"What happened to the body? How did it become like this?!"

"It's moving, the body is moving!"

"It's a ghost!"

Amidst the cries of terror, every member of the funeral procession ran towards the village for their lives.

The leader wanted to stabilize the team, but no one paid any attention to him after he shouted twice.

He stomped his feet hard and turned to run towards the village, but was stopped by me who came over.

Wang Hu and Shi Nianzi each held down the shoulders of the bartender, making it impossible for him to run away.

He was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead: "Who are you?"

"Didn't you see the coffin fall to the ground and the corpse come back? Why don't you run away quickly!"

"You don't want to live, but I want to live too!"

"Let me go!"

I glanced at him, clasped the sachet containing the Buddha's relics in my hand, and slowly walked to the coffin to check.

The small coffin contained a short, fat corpse.

Because the body was too fat, it got stuck in the coffin and didn't roll out.

Look carefully again.

The corpse's face was swollen, the eyeballs were protruding almost out of the sockets, the lips were swollen and turned outward, and the tongue was slowly drooping from the corners of the lips.

The limbs looked swollen due to blisters, and a layer of green mucus adhered to the rotten skin.

My belly is as swollen as a balloon that is about to burst.

This looks like a corpse that has been dead for a long time and is highly decomposed!

Moreover, the corpse was like an inflating balloon, still expanding and getting bigger!

I waved my hand and asked Wang Hu and Shi Nianzi to bring the lever head.

"Let me ask you, how long has this child been dead?"
