Chapter 597: Ice Burial Coffin

The ice-carved coffin, whose material it is hard to tell, is hidden in the center of the courtyard. It is not known whether it was buried here in advance or whether it has been there for a long time.

However, Jiang Bai prefers the former. This coffin will not be buried here for a long time. It should be done after the Nangong family discovered that something was wrong.

From a distance, Jiang Bai saw a lifelike old man sleeping with his eyes closed in the ice sculpture coffin.

"Ice burial coffin!"

Zhang Mengmeng, who had been munching on a sausage just now, suddenly changed her face and looked solemnly at the ice coffin in the distance, her face turned pale.

"what is that?"

Jiang Bai couldn't help but ask.

He also saw that this coffin was not ordinary, otherwise it would not be used as a life-saving straw by the head of the Nangong family and Beiming Canghai.

"Ice burial coffin is a method of ice burial. Legend has it that if a person uses special medicine before death, plus condenses black ice to cast a coffin, and burns some energy formations on it, it can ensure that the person sleeps forever."

"Once you enter the ice burial coffin, you are nominally dead, but you are actually alive. Preserving it for a thousand years or even longer is not a problem."

"This kind of ice burial coffin was very popular in a certain era in ancient times. The production method is strange and exquisite, and the medicine required is a mystery. I always thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true! There are actually ice burials. The coffin exists!”

"In fact, the emerging method in the scientific community is to freeze people after death and wait for resurrection one day. The idea of ​​​​these people who use ice burial coffins is the same. The only difference is that one day, the ice burial coffins freeze living people. There are living people, but the cold storage now only stores dead people.”

"But there is no difference in essence. They all hope that they will be sealed and can be resurrected one day."

Zhang Mengmeng said with a solemn expression.

"In other words, is there a living person in this ice coffin? A living person who is about to die? In that case, what's so scary? Can it be done so seriously?" Jiang Bai couldn't help but ask.

He didn't understand this matter. A dying person was just frozen. There was nothing scary about it.

"You don't understand. This kind of ice burial is very expensive and difficult to make. It requires a lot of money and precious medicinal materials. Not everyone can enjoy it." Zhang Mengmeng responded solemnly.

"You mean, there is a master here?" Jiang Bai said in astonishment.

But then he smiled and felt that his question was really stupid. If he was not a real master, how could he be saved by the Nangong family at all costs?

If he wasn't a real master, how could Bei Ming Canghai and Nangong Family Master regard him as a life-saving straw?

"Do you think the Nangong family will have many ice burial coffins like this? Will they freeze all the outstanding masters of the family in history and use them again when necessary?"

Jiang Bai thought of a terrible question.

Money has never been a problem for the Nangong family. Even if the cost is huge, they can still do it.

If they freeze all the masters of the past and release them when needed, wouldn't they be invincible?

However, after this idea came out, a new problem appeared.

That is, since this ice burial coffin has such an effect, why didn't they just release these masters before this?

They solved Fei Ying and the others, but let so many people die?

The death of three top masters is an unbearable burden even for the four major ancient martial arts families.

Why were they willing to open the coffin only after the three masters died?

"The first question, let me tell you, is impossible. Because this is not only a matter of money, it is said to involve some mysterious medicines. The production of those things is limited and extremely precious. Even the Nangong family cannot monopolize them."

"So they shouldn't have many ice burial coffins."

"As for the second question, it's simple. Ice burial coffins cannot be opened casually. Once opened, although the people inside will be resurrected, they will not be able to carry out ice burials for the second time. Therefore, ice burials must not be opened unless absolutely necessary. coffin."

Zhang Mengmeng answered these two questions. As a successor of a long-standing power, she obviously knows more than Lieyang and the others.

Jiang Bai did not say a word, because at this moment, in the courtyard of the Nangong family that had been razed to the ground, the head of the Nangong family stood there holding an ice coffin, and Beiming Canghai stood on the left.

"Flying Eagle, I didn't expect you to be so powerful, killing three of us in a row! Now I'll give you a chance to get out immediately, and I can let you live."

The panting head of the Nangong family held the ice coffin and looked at Fei Ying coldly, saying this.

At this time, he was unwilling to open the coffin easily, because the method and process of making the ice burial coffin had been lost. The ice burial coffins kept by the Nangong family were extremely limited. If you opened one, you would lose some of its power.

Decades ago, the Nangong family had already had two couples. Although they helped the Nangong family get through the difficulties, the two family seniors were also dying of old age.

At that time, the Nangong family had a tacit rule that coffins should never be opened again unless absolutely necessary.

So even though three masters from their four major families died, and the Nangong family was completely destroyed, the head of the Nangong family was still unwilling to open the coffin.

"Hey, it's just a coffin, and you still want to threaten me? Nangong Qinglong, you are at the end of your rope. If you are wise enough to hand over the map of the underground palace and abolish your martial arts, maybe I can give you a way out!"

With a cold smile, Feiying said disdainfully.

Want to scare him into flying eagles even with a coffin?

It's just a fool's errand.

Obviously he is not the heir to a family like Zhang Mengmeng that has been passed down for thousands of years. He does not know anything like an ice burial coffin.

"Flying Eagle! Don't push people too hard!"

The Nangong family replied coldly, one hand already holding the handle of the ice burial coffin, and with a little force, it would open the mechanism and release the people inside.

"So what if I force you?" Feiying dismissed this, thinking that this was just a small trick by the other party, and wanted to scare him away.

"Don't talk nonsense to him. He doesn't even know what this is. He thinks he has a chance to win. How can he listen to us? Open the coffin!"

Bei Ming Canghai, who was seriously injured, shouted loudly, interrupting the Nangong family's delusion.

The Nangong family's faces turned pale, they gave Fei Ying a vicious look, and then opened the ice burial coffin.

The moment the handle was pulled open, the ice coffin fell into pieces, and a lifelike old man with his eyes closed and resting quietly appeared in front of everyone. He was wearing a robe and had an oxtail braid on his back, making it easy for people to identify his identity.

Those who wore pigtails were all people from the "Qing Dynasty", but in the early Qing Dynasty, they were all money pigtails. Only in modern times after the start of the Westernization Movement in the later period, oxtail pigtails appeared, so the era in which this old man lived is about to begin.
