Cover the sky - Chapter 10
Chapter 10 The Vast Land
The dark bronze coffin gradually quieted down. No one spoke anymore. Everyone was full of fear. Looking at the bronze coffin in front of them, everyone shouted loudly. Everyone was very nervous. The
bronze coffin was mottled with green rust. What kind of person was buried inside?
“All this should be related to the five-color altar on Mount Tai.”
After a long time, everyone whispered and wanted to know why all this happened.
“It should be like this. It is related to the five-color ancient altar. It is it that attracted the nine dragon corpses and the bronze coffin.”
Everything they saw was too incredible and seriously impacted the ideological cognition of everyone present. The five-color altar was built by the ancient ancestors. It can be said that it is mysterious and endless. Ye Fan thought a lot. How many unknown secrets are hidden in the lost ancient history?
Nothing dangerous happened. Everyone’s mood gradually calmed down and seriously speculated about everything in front of them.
“Perhaps, the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin was called by the ancient ancestors.” As soon as this was said, someone immediately refuted: “The ancient people have long been dead for who knows how many years.”
“What I mean is that the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin is late, and it has just appeared now, which is a response to the ancient times.”
When a female classmate made such a statement, everyone was stunned. The call from the ancient ancestors, the late Nine Dragons and the ancient coffin, the response spanning thousands of years, this is somewhat incredible!
“What is the truth, we have no way of knowing, everything is just a guess, there are many possibilities.”
“Yes, perhaps the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin has nothing to do with the ancient ancestors, but returned on its own.”
“Have you seen those bronze carvings, there are ancient ancestors, there are ancient gods, many figures are carved with tears, which makes people feel desolate and sad, as if telling a long story.”
“Maybe it’s true, the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin, breaking through the natural barriers, returning to their hometown! A tearful past…”
Could it be that the ancient ancestors really had unknown means to explore an unknown and distant place? Nine dragons pull the coffin and return to their hometown. They leave alive, return with withered bones, and return with a shrouded corpse.
In the conversation, the fear of the crowd gradually decreased, and they imagined various possibilities. However, they were still full of awe for the bronze coffin in the center. No one touched it, let alone opened it.
“I think the rescuers should have climbed Mount Tai, and maybe they are not far away.”
“I hope there will be no accidents and we can be rescued as soon as possible.”
There was no way for everyone to escape from the ancient coffin. The bronze coffin was eight or nine meters high and sealed by the coffin lid, so they could not escape at all.
When everyone was hoping to escape as soon as possible, the bronze coffin suddenly trembled violently, and everyone was unstable and swaying, and many people fell directly to the ground.
“What’s wrong, what happened?” Everyone was in doubt. Some female classmates even cried and held the people around them tightly.
“Have the rescuers arrived? Are they saving us?”
In worry and fear, the vibration of the bronze coffin became more violent. No one could stand, and almost all fell to the ground, in close contact with the cold bronze coffin.
“Bang”
there was another violent shock, like a plane flying through cold clouds at high altitude, forming a thick layer of ice armor, shaking continuously.
“Boom”
the last violent shock was like thunder, as if it wanted to shatter all tangible substances, and it was obvious that the bronze coffin had a big collision.
But at this time, the bronze carvings in the dark copper coffin emitted a little faint light, instantly offsetting an unimaginable impact force.
Everyone was in doubt. Just now, they clearly felt that the world was about to turn upside down, but in an instant, it was calm, giving people a strange illusion.
“No, there was indeed a terrible impact force just now, how could it suddenly stop?”
“It’s not an illusion, the copper coffin did have a fierce collision and turned over several times, but we were not affected.”
At this time, everyone was surprised to find that the bronze coffin was hung on the side wall of the coffin, it was firmly fixed there, and did not fall down.
“The bronze coffin has now fallen to the ground. The small bronze coffin containing the body must have been firmly cast at the bottom of the large coffin, making it difficult to move. Therefore, after the coffin fell and tilted, it looked like it was hanging on the side wall at first glance.”
One can imagine how huge the terrible impact was just now, but it was resolved by the faint light from the bronze carvings, which made people feel incredible.
“Light, light from outside!” Li Xiaoman exclaimed.
Everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction where Li Xiaoman was looking. Sure enough, there was a little dim light coming in from the front.
“The bronze coffin fell over, the coffin lid tilted, and a gap opened. We are finally out of danger!”
The bronze coffin lid deviated from its original position. The gap was enough for two people to walk out side by side, but it was very dark outside, so the light cast into the bronze coffin was not obvious.
Everyone cheered and rushed forward, trying to escape from this dark and terrifying space, not wanting to stay even for a second.
However, when everyone rushed out of the bronze coffin, they were all stunned like clay sculptures and wooden carvings.
The earth seemed to have been stained by blood, and it was reddish brown, cold, hard and desolate. It was desolate and empty. There were some huge rocks standing on the ground, which looked like tombstones.
The light between heaven and earth was dim and gloomy, like a dead dusk surrounded by a faint black mist.
Everyone was stunned. This could not be the top of Mount Tai!
The endless reddish brown land was remote and dead, without any signs of life. It was not any place they knew.
They had never seen it, never heard of it, it was a completely strange and mysterious place!
“Where is this…? Have we… left Mount Tai?” The voice of the person who spoke was trembling.
“The rescuers isolated us in an uninhabited area. Are they afraid that the nine dragon corpses are in danger?” The student who said these words could not convince himself.
Everyone had a bad premonition, as if something extremely bad had happened to them. At this moment, many people dialed out with their mobile phones at the same time, but it was impossible to get through. There was no signal.
“This is not Mount Tai, where are we?” Many people showed panic, without the joy of being out of trouble, but only fear.
It took only a quarter of an hour from being trapped in the bronze coffin to walking out again, but the scene in front of him was completely changed. The majestic and towering Mount Tai that overlooked thousands of mountains was gone, and in front of him was an endless desert covered with gravel with gently undulating terrain.
Ye Fan watched all this quietly, and his ominous premonition really came true. When he saw the Tai Chi Bagua diagram condensed on Mount Tai to form a dark and huge passage, he had a bad association. Although he did not see the Nine Dragons pulling the coffin into the passage leading to the unknown area at that time, there was no need to think too much at this moment. What he saw was enough to explain everything. He was not in Mount Tai, and he had even left the earth.
