Chapter Twenty-Four: The Coffin of the Trapped Soul

As I used the ghost pestle to explore the sarcophagus, more than a dozen strong men came down behind me.

After I finished exploring with the ghost pestle, I didn't think there was anything in the coffin, such a large reservoir, but it made me wonder, there was not a single fish or shrimp.

I didn't speak, and those who came down didn't dare to move, and nearly a third of the three coffins were inserted in the mud.

I didn't have time to think of anything else, so I'd get the corpses up there anyway.

"Now in teams of three, clean up all the corpses here."

"Listen to the people above, after the corpses are transported, fill their mouths with grains, and then insert a lit incense, and send someone to watch the changes in the incense, and if it is extinguished, tell me quickly."

Begin.

Although everyone was extremely reluctant, everyone also took action for the safety of the whole village.

The corpses began to be hoisted up, and I couldn't understand why they were in the reservoir, and they were stuck upside down in the mud.

There's got to be something going on here.

When I cleaned up Hou Jiang's body, I asked people to clean up the mud on his face, and found that there was no pain on his face, but a look of relief.

I thought that these corpses were all hideous, but I didn't expect them to be smiling, as if they were relieved.

Looking at it this way, it seems even more terrifying and terrifying.

Everything was in order, all the bodies were cleaned up, and all that was left was three wooden coffins and one sarcophagus.

When the three wooden coffins were hoisted, everything was quite smooth, just when the sarcophagus was cleaned, the problem appeared, after the coffin lid was hoisted up, it was directly broken, just like foam, the kind that broke lightly.

As for the coffin of the sarcophagus, it is difficult to get out of the mud.

Everyone worked together, and I was ready to strike at any time with the pestle in my hand.

As a result, the big guy used a force, and the sarcophagus turned on its side, and all the muddy water inside was spilled out, and I saw what was going on inside.

In the interior of the sarcophagus, there are a lot of runes depicted, like runes, and I think they are Tibetan, in short, it is difficult to figure out what they are.

I was about to find out what the sarcophagus was, when the village chief walked over to me with a cigarette and a solemn face.

"Jiang Chen, tell me honestly, what is inside this sarcophagus."

The village chief gritted his teeth and said earnestly.

Looks like he hates this thing.

It's just that now, I can't figure out what it is, so I can only shake my head helplessly.

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

It was the people of their village who died, and I didn't see the village chief like this when I came during the day, so it was like a different person now.

"These people who died are all from the village."

What?

This sentence shocked me, they are all people in the village, how is it possible?

Looking at my incredulous expression, the village chief threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and sighed.

"At that time, I saw with my own eyes that some of them packed up their things and left the village, and they didn't expect to be here."

"I didn't expect that a person who was fine during the day is now dead in this reservoir."

What the village chief said was naturally Hou Jiang.

After chatting with him, he learned that these corpses were all from the village, and now the mud and dirt on everyone's bodies have been cleaned up, and it was found that the dead people were all from the village.

I also took a curious look, and I was taken aback myself, because among these dead bodies, there were several faces that I recognized.

On the first day I went to work in the warehouse, I was tricked into lying in the coffin by an old man, saying that he was helping his daughter measure the size.

For this person, I have a deep memory, at that time, in order to let me lie in the coffin, he tempted me with a red envelope, and the result was not only a red envelope, but also the 20,000 yuan to buy the coffin, and finally turned into a dark coin.

It is impossible for an ordinary person to have such an ability, I am not blind, the only possibility is that my eyes are covered by a ghost, so to speak, it is the contents of the sarcophagus.

It was also from that time that things around me began to develop in a different direction.

Later, I had the impression that those who went to the warehouse to buy coffins were also among these corpses.

The people I met died here.

Those who lied to me to lie in a coffin, and those who bought a coffin are dead.

There were even some things that I simply didn't have time to figure out.

I looked at the three wooden coffins and told that they were really purchased from me.

"These three wooden coffins, open them."

What?

The village chief made a mistake, this coffin was nailed, there must be a corpse inside, and it was taboo to open someone else's coffin like this.

Seeing their predicament, I felt a little ridiculous, when did this happen, so many people in the village died, and they were still hesitant to touch the coffin or not.

My life is almost gone, and I still care about taboos.

Eventually, a few rough men picked up axes and split the coffin board.

When I saw the people in the coffin, I was also shocked, the people in the coffin seemed to be asleep, without any signs of decay, and there was a faint body fragrance on the dead body.

In one of the coffins, there was a female corpse about the size of me, and it seems that the old man who lied to me that night in the coffin did not lie to me.

The skin of these three corpses is still elastic, but there is no sign of death.

I picked up the basin on the ground with black dog blood, got some black dog blood on my hand, and pressed it down on the eyebrows of the corpses.

As a result, the three corpses began to fester, and the skin on their bodies began to fester.

The only question now is what exactly is inside the sarcophagus, otherwise it will not do much to clean up these corpses lightly.

"Jiang Chen, now this matter, you see how to deal with it, so many corpses." The village chief opened his mouth with a solemn face.

Seriously, I don't know what to do now.

"Cinnabar is not enough, hurry up and buy it, these corpses are too evil, if my guess is right, the people in the coffin should be the dead, as for these corpses, they should be those related to the dead."

"There must be something in the sarcophagus, but now I don't know what's inside, there are so many corpses, only to solve the current problems first."

The village chief looked at these corpses on the ground, and he was also in trouble, they were all from the same village, and it was really tricky to deal with.

But for now, that's all there is to it.

A stick of incense was pulled out of the corpse's mouth, and the incense was extinguished before it burned out, and the incense had turned black.

The corpse qi gathered but did not disperse, and did not even accept a mouthful of incense.

I knew that their death was not an accident, but I had no way to find out what the problem was.

What exactly is inside the sarcophagus?

"The rest of the people, transport all these corpses and coffins back first, the yin qi here is too heavy, and it is not a good thing to stay for a long time."

Back at the village committee, the bodies were placed on the ground, and the sarcophagi and everything else were brought back.

I looked at the runes inside the sarcophagus and took pictures with my phone, I can't just study it here overnight, it's weird.

Sitting in the house of the village committee, I looked at the photos on my phone and always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say it.

I've seen these runes in ancient books, but I don't know what they mean.

By the way, there is also the sarcophagus lid, although it is broken, but there are still runes on it.

I was alone in the courtyard, piecing together the lid of the sarcophagus, and it turned out to be just as I had guessed, with runes on the lid.

I didn't see a reason for watching it for a while, as for these corpses in the yard, the corpse qi on their bodies spread, if they are not dealt with, I am afraid that there is a possibility of corpse mutation.

While I was studying the runes on the sarcophagus, the village chief came up to me as if he had something unspeakable.

"Village chief, if you have anything to say, just say it."

When the village chief saw that I had spoken, he said with an embarrassed face.

"Otherwise, I'll inform the relatives of these people and let them come and get the corpses away, it's not a problem to put them here, it's still strange to infiltrate people."

This is to throw the hot potato out, if it is an ordinary corpse, just notify your relatives to take it away, as for how to deal with it is someone else's business, but these corpses are all with corpse gas, and if you bring them back, maybe what will happen.

I told the village chief what was at stake, and in order to prevent no more lives from coming in, I had to put the bodies in the courtyard now.

Seeing that the gathered corpse qi was getting stronger and stronger, I found grains to sprinkle around these corpses, and the corpse qi was suppressed a little.

In the second half of the night, these strong men also didn't dare to return home, for fear that they would die like these people, and they didn't know how to die.

I studied the runes in the sarcophagus, and in a few hours, it was a breakthrough.

Inside this sarcophagus, it seems to be engraved with dense runes, but in fact, this rune seal is the same reason, after all, the rune seal is blessed with yellow paper, and it can only be stored for a few years at most.

After a few years, the power of the talisman weakened, the yellow paper weathered, and basically had no effect.

But the runes carved in stone are different, although they will not be weathered, but the power is much smaller, and the runes in this coffin, combined, should be used by trapped spirits.

This coffin, I have seen in ancient books, is called the coffin of the trapped soul. The coffin was closed, the trapped spirit array was complete, and the things that were sealed inside couldn't come out at all.

As for why the coffin opened on its own, it seems that it should have been when the road was built to dig out the coffin, and the coffin board was damaged, otherwise the contents would not have run away at this time.

"Village chief, you call and ask the relatives of these corpses to come over early tomorrow morning and ask them if they agree to burn the corpses directly here."

For now, there's only so much that can be done.

As soon as I looked at the time, it was past twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and I don't know if it was the weather or what, but the lightning and thunder began to roar outside, and then the storm began to vent.

I stood in front of the window and looked at the corpses in the yard, and the rain was really like splashing water, so I could only grieve them to lie on the ground for the night.
