The knocking sound was sometimes strong and sometimes weak. After listening for a while, Zha Wenbin still couldnt find any pattern in it. The sound was clearly coming from the stone coffin, but both the rhythm and strength seemed chaotic. Just like this, the knocking continued to disturb his heart again. Zha Wenbin thought that he couldnt just sit there waiting to die. In the darkness, he could feel that Su Zis breathing was getting weaker and weaker. If he didnt think of something soon, everyone would probably end up dying in this godforsaken place.
When Cha Wenbin was about to get up, he suddenly heard a faint voice in his ear, and with intuition, he felt that it was Chaozi who made the sound.
"Super, are you awake?" asked in a low voice.
No one responded, but the sparse sound continued, as if someone was slowly walking towards him.
Cha Wenbin took a step back, his body already leaning against the stone wall, and asked again "Chaozi? Why arent you speaking?"
Still no one responded, and the footsteps seemed to be only about three meters away from him. Cha Wenbin felt for the tactical flashlights switch and threw the big seal in his hand to the right, then suddenly turned on the switch. The flashlight lit up the entire tomb chamber. Chaozi was expressionless, holding a shotgun and staring at the right side, where the big seal was still rolling on the ground. Almost simultaneously, Chaozi realized he had been deceived, turned around and fired a shot at Cha Wenbin, but missed as a shadow flashed before his eyes.
Originally, Cha Wenbin had turned off the safety of the gun when he was in a coma, fearing that it would go off accidentally. Just as he heard the faint sound of the safety being opened, he deliberately used this trick to distract him. At the same time as Chaozi fired the shot, he dodged to the left with all his might. He understood that the person in front of him was not He Yichao at all, but a walking corpse possessed by a soul.
Chaozi saw a gun firing into the air, and immediately retreated to reload. His right hand instinctively reached for his waist, and if he were really Chaozi himself at that moment, he would have realized that all he had left was the single bullet in the chamber. Unfortunately, he wasnt Chaozi after all. Taking advantage of this brief gap, Cha Wenbin suddenly pounced on him.
As for physical strength, Zha Wenbin was naturally no match for He Yichao, who had been a scout. But this time, Hes attention was focused on the bullets at his waist, and he was caught off guard by Zha Wenbins full-force strike. With a loud crash, the two of them fell to the ground, rolling around in a heap.
Chao Zi was after all stronger than Cha Wenbin by a few points, and before long, Cha Wenbin gradually fell into a disadvantage, being pressed down firmly by He Yi Chao, unable to move.
At this moment, He Yi-chao is no longer the young man with a smile on his face, but a thorough devil, with red eyes, bulging eyeballs, gritted teeth, and blue veins bursting out of his forehead, looking like a fierce and evil spirit, his hands tightly grasping Cha Wen-bins neck, seemingly wanting to strangle him to death!
Cha Wenbin was pinned down by Chaozi, his neck caught in a tight grip. If he hadnt been holding his breath, he would have lost all chance of resistance. His fists pounded against Chaozis face like raindrops on stone, with no reaction. As the lack of oxygen and loss of physical strength took hold, even the energy to clench his fists was gone, leaving only wild flailing in the air. Chaozis arm was scratched bloody by Cha Wenbins desperate grasp. Just as all hope seemed lost, Cha Wenbins wildly swinging right hand closed around something - with a surge of survival instinct, he summoned his last ounce of strength and slammed it into the back of Chaozis skull with a loud "crack". Chaozi collapsed, and Cha Wenbin struggled to push him off, looking down to see that his hand was still clutching the "Tianshi Dao Treasure" seal, its corner stained crimson with blood.
After panting for two breaths, he rushed over to see He Yichao crawling on the ground. The kids occipital bone had been smashed into a hole, and blood was now gushing out. Cha Wenbin quickly took out a small package from his Qiankun bag, wrapped in a handkerchief, opened it, and found that it contained aromatic ash. He poured some onto Yichaos wound and then tore off his own clothes to make a bandage for the kids head.
After finishing all this, Zha Wenbin was already exhausted and dizzy. From entering the village to now, he hadnt had a good rest for a moment. Looking at He Yichao who was on his last breath, he struggled to get up again...
He was almost using the Seven Star Sword to prop up his body, not letting himself fall down. Cha Wenbin slightly trembled as he took out a small purple sandalwood incense burner from his bag. The incense burner was only about the size of a rice bowl, and its style and material seemed to be quite old. Cha Wenbin carefully placed the incense burner in front of the stone coffin, with a red cloth underneath it.
Then he took out a brocade box from his bag, which looked like a ladys rouge box, but the material was also high-quality purple sandalwood. It seemed to be in the same set as the incense burner. Cha Wenbin sighed and opened the box, releasing a strange fragrance that even Zhuo Xiong could smell, and his spirit was refreshed. The fatigue and unease of the past few days were swept away, and he couldnt help but exclaim: "What a wonderful fragrance!"
In the box lay an oval-shaped pearl, about the size of a pigeons egg, with a glossy black surface that shone brightly under the light and emitted a strange fragrance.
Zha Wenbin carefully took out the pearl and put it in the incense burner, then gently closed it. He knelt down with a "thud" and kowtowed three times towards the incense burner, saying: "Master ancestor above, Tianzhengdaos 27th generation successor Zha Wenbin pays respects. Today, disciple Wenbin is in trouble and dares to ask for the return of our sects sacred object, the Huanhun Xiang, only because I am saving people and eliminating evil. I hope Master Ancestor will show mercy and allow me to use this object!"
After finishing, he knocked his head three times again. When he lifted his head again, the fragrance in the incense burner made Cha Wenbin feel irresistible, and he involuntarily opened his mouth to take a few deep breaths. His originally sore body instantly recovered, feeling refreshed and invigorated all over, thinking to himself: This is indeed the legendary Rebirth Incense!
As for the Resurrection Incense, dont mention how lucky it is that Wen Bin can smell a few whiffs today. Many ancient emperors have exhausted their national resources to find this incense, its origins are not trivial.
It is said that during the Han Wu Emperor period, there was a country in the Western Regions called the Yuezhi Kingdom. In order to resist the military attacks of the Xiongnu, they had no choice but to form an alliance with the Han Wu Emperor to jointly attack the Xiongnu. At that time, the Yuezhi Kingdom presented three Huixiang incense as national treasures to the Han Wu Emperor to show their sincerity.
Regarding the Resurrection Incense, Dongfang Shuos "Record of Ten Islands in the Sea" records it as follows: The Resurrection Incense is a spiritual object. It is as big as a swallows egg and black like mulberry fruit. Its fragrance can be smelled hundreds of miles away, and if a dead body on the ground smells it, it will come back to life. According to legend, Dongfang Shuo once obtained a piece of this incense. He was quite knowledgeable about incense and had once burned "Hui Meng" grass in his dreams to meet Li Furen. Later, he burned the Resurrection Incense to bring Li Furen back to life. Of course, this is just a legend, and no one knows whether the Resurrection Incense can really revive the dead. In ancient times, emperors who sought immortality were willing to fight for this thing. One piece of it was obtained by Ling Zhengyang, the master of Cha Wenbins master, due to a coincidence. It was treasured as a family heirloom and passed down from generation to generation until it reached Cha Wenbins master. If it werent for the crazy Taoist who hid it in a cowshed, this thing would have been taken away by the Red Guards.
When he was young, Cha Wenbin had once said that this incense was the treasure of their Tian Zheng Dao when his master was drunk. It is said that Ling Zhengyang stole it from Zang Jing Fa Shi back then. Perhaps because he lost this thing and couldnt find any evidence that it was him who did it, he could only come up with a reason to expel him from the sect. However, when sober, the incense burner and box were always carried by that mad Taoist in his body, put into his underclothes, never taken out. It is said that this incense must be ignited after opening the box, otherwise it would be useless. So this thing probably only Cha Wenbin had seen, even Ling Zhengyang himself didnt know its true face. If he knew now that his disciples grandson took this thing out just to lure a soul, I dont know if he would jump out from the underworld to settle accounts with him!
Zha Wenbin recited the incantation as taught by his master: "When one furnace rises, all true ones understand, each respecting the teachings of the law, it cannot be delayed, rise!"
As soon as the words fell, a wisp of black smoke rose in a straight line towards the top, and before it reached the height of Zha Wenbins forehead, it began to spread out in all directions like fireworks. For a moment, the entire cave was filled with this fragrance, making people dizzy and drunk, which was far beyond the reach of any worldly incense. Even the unconscious Leng Yiran and Old Wang below had their nostrils expanding with the fragrance, and their breathing rate accelerated greatly!
Cha Wenbin shook his head, held his breath, and didnt let the strange fragrance occupy his mind. After adjusting for a moment, he recited again: "One stick of incense sends a message to the other world, five child spirits guide the soul back! Hush!"
