Chapter 99: Empty Coffin

"Empty!?"

Lao Qifeng heard this, and couldn't care about anything else, operated the light-body technique to cross the platform, landed on the coffin, and looked into the coffin.

I saw that the coffin was actually empty, not even a clothing tomb, just nothing at all.

"This, could it be a 'suspicious coffin'?"

Lao Qifeng was surprised.

When high officials and princes are buried, they will also guard against their tombs being dug up by grave robbers.

This "suspicious coffin" is also one of the means, referring to placing empty coffins in the tomb, or building another tomb, so that grave robbers can't tell where the tomb owner is buried.

In the 78th chapter of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," it was said: "(Cao Cao) left a will to set up seventy-two suspicious tombs outside the lecture city of Zhangde Prefecture.", "Don't let future generations know where I am buried, for fear of being dug up by others."

It’s just that although Lao Qifeng reacted, he couldn't help but look back at the corpses kneeling on the ground, choked for a while.

These girls, at the age of twelve or thirteen, were gouged out of their five senses, and endured two or three years of torture, and were trapped to death in this tomb.

Was it just for a suspicious coffin!?

What kind of beast is this Miao King!

"Amitabha." Yongjie sighed.

Because he was afraid that his voice would be recognized, he had never spoken along the way. He stepped forward to the corpse, pressed one hand on the corpse’s head, and stood one hand in front of his chest, and began to silently chant sutras to transcend.

"Heh, it’s not strange." Li Miao sneered.

"This witchcraft has been suppressed by successive dynasties, naturally there is a reason. Dealing with flesh and blood, poisonous insects all day, raising insects on one’s own body, making oneself neither human nor ghost, what kind of good bird can it be."

"Let’s open the coffin first and see if we can find any clues to the way out."

Lao Qifeng heard this and reacted, and at this moment, his remaining anger was not extinguished, and he lifted the coffin lid and threw it aside.

He jumped into the coffin, squatted down, and looked at it left and right.

"Eh?"

He seemed to have discovered something, and hurriedly shouted, letting the Beggar Sect disciple throw a torch over, and looked at it carefully by the firelight.

"Hero Li... come and see." He pointed to a coffin wall.

Li Miao stepped forward and took a look.

I saw that on the coffin wall, there were hundreds of white scratches densely distributed.

Looking at the appearance... it actually looks like it was scratched by fingernails.

Li Miao squatted down, stretched out his finger and wiped it on the bottom of the coffin, twisted his fingers, and frowned.

"Corpse oil. This is not a suspicious coffin."

At this time, the people who followed in also approached one after another, just didn't step on the platform, and heard Li Miao’s words, they were surprised.

"Not a suspicious coffin, where is the corpse?" Kongtong leader asked.

"This coffin is locked by iron chains, even if the people inside are in suspended animation, they can't run out."

Li Miao shook his head: "Not clear."

"We are not here to rob the tomb, just put this matter aside and see if there are any other clues in the coffin."

Li Miao and Lao Qifeng checked the coffin up and down carefully, but there were no other discoveries.

Except for the strange scratches and corpse oil inside, this seems to be an ordinary, well-made ordinary coffin.

Li Miao and Lao Qifeng used light-body techniques to come down, and other people who were not reconciled also went up to check one after another, and there was no discovery at all.

Li Miao twisted his fingers, looking at the hall left and right.

Lao Qifeng walked over and said to Li Miao in a low voice: "Hero Li, what should I do?"

After several previous things, Lao Qifeng had already understood that Li Miao was their reliance to go out. And his Wu Gong was not below him.

At this moment, taking advantage of the crowd taking turns to check the coffin, he secretly came to discuss countermeasures with Li Miao.

"There are different thoughts among the people present. Food is insufficient, and if we are trapped here for a day, people’s hearts will begin to scatter, and then there will be blood."

"If Hero Li has any discoveries, regardless of whether it is confirmed or not, say it first. With hope, we can persist for a while."

Li Miao turned his head and glanced at him, just about to speak.

"Shen Ziyang, you!"

A scream came from behind!

Li Miao turned his head abruptly, but saw that one person had already stepped one foot on the platform where the coffin was placed.

Kongtong leader exclaimed, flashed forward and wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

The corpses kneeling under the platform had already raised their heads, and the black holes of the five senses opened in unison.

At this moment!

Swish!

Blood splashed!

Yin Minjun cut his throat with a sword, pulled it diagonally, and cut off the head.

Then he flashed forward and slapped the headless corpse away, not letting him take a second step.

The Ming Cult had just been half-killed by Li Miao, and here came a Miao King’s tomb storing divine arts, which was too coincidental. Li Miao would naturally be prepared.

Li Miao had been falling behind and talking to Yin Minjun along the way, and had already told her some things, including guarding against traitors.

Just now, seeing that person wandering around, looking down and walking around, with suspicious behavior, she had long been suspicious, and secretly arrived behind that person under the cover of the crowd, and sure enough, there was a bad intention!

If he were allowed to step on the platform completely, the Gu insects would break out, and seven or eight out of ten people present would die.

"Whose disciple is this!" Yin Minjun shouted.

"It’s Shen Ziyang of the Qingcheng Sect!" Kongtong leader said, turning his head to look at the Qingcheng leader, already full of hostility.

He discovered the abnormality just now, wanted to stop it but it was too late, and at this moment he was terrified, and then angry. He almost couldn't help but want to fight with the Qingcheng Sect.

The incident happened too suddenly, and everyone reacted at this time, surrounding the remaining four people of the Qingcheng Sect one after another.

"Leader Hao, what’s going on?"

Lao Qifeng stepped forward to look at the corpse on the ground, and turned to look at the Qingcheng leader.

"Those who can enter this tomb are all second-rate or above, and the leaders of each family personally selected the manpower."

"This Shen Ziyang, it seems to be your personal disciple, Leader Hao?"

"If it weren't for Elder Yin’s move just now, everyone present would have been harmed by your disciple... Leader Hao, you have to give everyone a plausible explanation."

The Qingcheng leader was pale at this moment, looking at the remaining three disciples, his mind turned, but he didn't know how to answer for a while.

But Li Miao’s voice came from behind.

"Perhaps it’s not the Qingcheng Sect’s business, someone harmed this Qingcheng disciple."

Lao Qifeng turned his head abruptly and looked at Li Miao.

Li Miao was squatting beside the headless corpse at this time, bent his fingers into claws, and tore open the clothes on the back of the corpse with a "shish" sound.

I saw a sword wound on the shoulder of the corpse, slowly flowing blood.

Li Miao put his palms together like a knife, inserted it into the chest of the corpse, groped for a while, and grabbed an insect that was struggling and hissing.

Li Miao pinched the insect to death, threw it on the ground, and turned to look at everyone.

"Someone secretly injured this disciple and put the Gu insect into his body."

"After the Gu insect entered the body, he was confused and stepped on the platform."
