Chapter 17 The woman in red carrying the coffin
Night is approaching, and the depths of the surrounding dense forest are already revealing the smell of forest. This sudden female voice seemed so abrupt.
Mu Chen's spine suddenly felt cold, and he suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the sound. Hundreds of feet away, a red figure appeared on a towering giant tree in the dense forest.
The woman was dressed in delicate red silk and a thin veil over her face, and it was not clear how old she was. What made Mu Chen feel that his scalp suddenly tingled was behind the woman, and he saw a blood-red coffin about six feet in size lying behind him.
"Little one, it seems that your troubles need to be solved by the art of chasing corpses. Although the two were hundreds of feet apart, when the woman's voice appeared in Mu Chen's ears again, it seemed to be close at hand.
There are many strange things in the middle of the night in southern Xinjiang, although it is not too late now, but the sky has already darkened. The sudden appearance of such a woman in red with a red coffin on her back would make anyone feel frightened, not to mention that Mu Chen was just a ten-year-old boy.
Mu Chen forcibly endured the coldness in his heart, and asked, "This sister, do you know how to shepherd zombies and drive away corpses?"
"Giggle...... The art of shepherding zombies and driving away corpses is in this southern Xinjiang, if I admit the second, it seems that no one dares to recognize the first...... Giggles...... It's just, do you want to learn?" A burst of laughter like a silver bell sounded in Mu Chen's ears.
Mu Chen rubbed his eyes, and he suddenly found that when the laughter came, the red figure hundreds of feet away suddenly disappeared, and before he could come back to his senses, a red figure came into view, appearing three feet away. The eyes of the woman in red were very beautiful, but this look seemed to be a little blurred and unfocused, and under the right eye, a black tear mole loomed under the light veil.
Mu Chen subconsciously took a few steps back, looking at the owner of this figure vigilantly.
"Little one, you seem to be afraid of me?" the woman asked, taking two steps forward.
"No, no. Mu Chen replied weakly. But he said to himself like this in his heart: "Dressed like a female ghost at night, and carrying such a big blood-red coffin, although the laughter is quite good, but what normal person would behave like this?"
The woman smiled, but she didn't make a sound, although she covered her cheeks with a thin veil, Mu Chen was very sure that the woman in front of her was laughing. The woman in red pointed behind Mu Chen, and asked, "This thing is yours?"
Mu Chen subconsciously turned around, looked at what the woman in red was pointing at, and suddenly secretly said that it was not good, and said nonsense: "This is the coffin brought by the tribe, the two clansmen have returned to heaven, and my task is to bring their remains home." ”
"Two people buried in a coffin?" asked the woman in red, smiling.
Mu Chen scratched his scalp, knowing that the woman in front of him didn't seem to be easy to fool, thought for a moment, and said: "This sister, I'm also worried, there were originally two coffins, but on the way here, I strayed into the territory of a fierce beast and was damaged by it. ”
Speaking of which, Mu Chen himself admired his ability to lie.
"Use the green jade spirit coffin to bury people, little guy, aren't you afraid that they will turn into zombies?"
Mu Chen's face changed instantly, he took a few steps back towards the green jade spirit coffin, his hands were sealed, and the eyes of the woman in red suddenly began to become unkind.
"Poof, little one, look at your nervousness!" the woman in red scoffed at Mu Chen's performance, covering her mouth and laughing.
"May I ask who your Excellency is and what do you want? Although my Mu Chen is small, I am not a good match. Mu Chen's face was gloomy, and even the tone and tone of his speech began to change slightly.
"Mu Chen, good name......" The woman in red did not answer Mu Chen's words, and said something inconsequential.
"Now that Your Excellency has recognized this green jade spirit coffin, what do you want, just draw the next line. Mu Chen said this, but in his heart he was thinking about how to get out of danger. Previously, the woman in red came to her eyes in the blink of an eye from hundreds of zhang away, and she was afraid that her martial arts cultivation was not under her father. It's just that this woman has appeared so far, and she doesn't seem to have shown any malice.
"Giggles, I know you're nervous about something, little one, you don't think I'm here to snatch your jade coffin, do you?"
"Isn't it?" Mu Chen didn't think about it, and asked rhetorically.
"Giggle......" The woman smiled, but without speaking, she raised her hand and began to form handprints.
"And said that you didn't come to rob the heavenly coffin! You are so shameless, you actually made a seal and played a sneak attack on me, a child!" Mu Chen retreated directly into the green jade spirit coffin, and began to form handprints while scolding.
It's just that the speed of the woman in red is several times faster than Mu Chen's, and Mu Chen has just started, and it has already ended.
I saw that the woman in red had completed the seal, and the blood-red coffin behind her slowly rose from behind her, until it finally turned into a height of nine zhang in mid-air! Around the coffin, there were dark red air currents surging, and it was impossible to see what kind of patterns were carved on the walls of the coffin.
Mu Chen looked at the nine-zhang red coffin in mid-air in shock, and he didn't notice it when he stopped with both hands, and muttered in his mouth: "Heaven...... Heavenly Coffin ......"
"Giggle...... Little guy, do you still think I'm going to take your coffin?" The red-clothed woman's laughter sounded in Mu Chen's ears, waking him up from his shock.
Mu Chen scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, walked out of the green jade spirit coffin, and asked a little nervously, "Since you have a heavenly coffin, sister, what are you doing with me?"
"I, I wanted to come and see who the object of the Qingyu Spirit Coffin was. As for now......" The woman in red paused and closed her eyes as if thinking about something.
"What do you want now?" asked Mu Chen.
"Worship me as a teacher, how about I teach you the advanced technique of shepherding zombies and driving away corpses?" the woman in red suddenly opened her eyes and said seriously.
"Huh?" Mu Chen's brain was a little short-circuited, and the woman in front of him who seemed to have a somewhat abnormal brain actually wanted to take her as an apprentice.
"Why, don't you want to?" said the woman in red disappointed.
Although the woman in front of her looks a little abnormal, as if her brain has been stimulated, she doesn't seem to be a bad person, and she is the owner of a heavenly coffin, so it doesn't seem to hurt even if she worships her as a teacher. It's just that this spirit has been stimulated, but it is not a lot of trouble, in case of a sudden attack one day, Mu Chen shuddered when he thought about the consequences. So Mu Chen planned to probe the bottom of it and then make plans.
"Sister, I have a question, how did you know that this green jade spirit coffin was born and I confessed the Lord?" Mu Chen did not refuse directly, but just diverted the topic and asked.
"There is a trace of connection between the nine heavenly coffins, you and I are both in the southern part of the world, you have not yet learned the art of breathing, I can naturally know your location through my heavenly coffin. Those who have made a pact with the Heavenly Coffin want to know your location, but they can't do it as easily as I can. The woman in red patiently explained.
"The owners of several other heavenly coffins also know that the heavenly coffins have been born?" Mu Chen exclaimed like a wild cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"How many of them are also worthy of being called the masters of the Heavenly Coffin? At best, they are just the guardians of the Heavenly Coffin. It's just that the green jade spirit coffin was born, and there is a connection between the heavenly coffins, and the coffin keeper can naturally know through some means. It is estimated that someone has already been sent to southern Xinjiang to investigate the news. The tone of the woman in red seemed to be very disdainful of the owners of those heavenly coffins.
"This sister ......" Mu Chen was a little speechless and stopped.
"Huh?"
"Can you teach me the art of breathing......
"Giggles, are you scared? With me, they don't dare to be presumptuous in southern Xinjiang!" the woman in red came to Mu Chen's eyes, stared at his eyes for a long time, and finally said with a smile.
