In the dark room, the coffin was even more eerie.

Uncle Li whispered: "In some remote areas, people believe that the souls of deceased relatives are immortal and can bless the family with good luck. Therefore, in order to prevent the souls of the dead from going to the underworld, they will neither cremate nor bury their loved ones after their deaths, but build a shelter for them, so that their ghosts will remain in the world forever, which is the house of the dead. ”

Uncle Li's words gave me goosebumps. I frowned and asked, "Can this really work?"

"Hmph.. How is that possible." Old Uncle Li didn't hide the mocking look on his face at all, "This kind of burial method will make the soul of the deceased unable to rest and cause great resentment. The locals must have been superstitious about some charlatans, who placed gold and silver treasures in the dead man's house to worship their ancestors, and as a result, these things fell into the pockets of the crooks. ”

After hearing this, I felt a great disgust in my heart for this room, "Or... Let's sleep in the tree. ”

"That's right. Let's find another place. Cai Wen hurriedly echoed, and it could be seen that he was a little scared.

"Isn't it just a coffin, let's just spend the night this night, and don't touch the coffin, where can I find such a good place." Tie Zhu didn't want to give up this place, "You scholars are still superstitious about these unclean things?"

Cai Wenchang blushed and said, "I... Naturally I don't believe in this set, but... At the very least, respect the dead..."

Tie Zhu defended: "Let's just spend the night, why don't we respect it." Are you right, master? He turned his head and asked Uncle Li.

Undoubtedly, the decision fell on Uncle Li, the four of us have the most experience in Uncle Li, and he has a magical secret technique or the master of the iron pillar. I know very well that Cai Wen and I are just followers, but they are dispensable roles, and their master and apprentice are the backbone of the team.

Old Uncle Li slapped his back and said, "Babies, it's been a hard day. We'll sleep here tonight. He turned to us again and said solemnly:

"But remember, when you enter the house, don't talk loudly, and go to bed as soon as you finish eating. Then we will be safe and sound tonight, and we will hurry tomorrow at dawn. ”

After speaking, Old Uncle Li and Tie Zhu took the lead in entering the house.

Old Uncle Li bent down in front of the coffin and said respectfully: "Brother, I'm sorry to disturb, it's convenient to stay overnight." ”

Seemingly... Do you really want to sleep with a coffin?! I've probably never done anything so crazy in my life. Looking at the dark night sky, I had to bite the bullet and walk into the room.

A blast of cold air swept over me, and I couldn't help but be smart.

"Why is it so cold?" Cai Wen asked as he wrapped his coat tightly.

Old Uncle Li said: "Rare and strange, Yin Qi gathers here and does not melt for many years. It will be nice to dissipate the cold air after a while. ”

I looked around, and the small, dark house was windowless, airtight, and surrounded by earthen walls. The dark red coffin sat on a quadrangular shelf in the center of the room, about a lap from the ground.

The coffin board was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the four edges and corners of the coffin were somewhat worn. This room must have been built for some time.

Seeing me staring at the coffin board in a daze, Uncle Li glanced at me and whispered, "Don't think about it, this coffin is not even twenty years old, and there will be no purple tomb moss." ”

I bowed slightly, this old man... It always seems to be able to see through my mind...

The iron pillar sat on the ground and lit a candle on the ground, and the blue and yellow flames rose, illuminating the whole room in a dim light. The coffin was also covered with a faint yellow glow.

Old Uncle Li pointed to the broken door of the house and said, "Pillar, you find a big stone to block the door." Don't let a wolf break in in the middle of the night. ”

"Okay." Tie Zhu rolled up his sleeves and walked out quickly.

After a while, Tie Zhu pushed a big bluestone into the house with great difficulty, and it could be seen that this thing was quite heavy, he gritted his teeth and dragged the big bluestone behind the door, patted the dust on his hands, and said with a smile, "Don't say it's a wolf, and don't want to come in if the bear is blind!" ”

Cai Wen reminded: "Leave a small seam, otherwise we will suffocate to death tonight." ”

We spread the sheets on the floor, took out dry food and water, and devoured them, and my legs were numb all day. Everyone was so tired that they stretched.

The dim candlelight reflected my eyelids full of bread, and I chewed on the bread and looked at the broken fan unconsciously. Door.

In an instant, I froze like a clay sculpture, and through the crack in the door, a strange eye with a green light was staring at me closely! The eyes were round, and there was a yellowish-white spot of light on the inner layer. That resentful look made me creepy.

When I was about to shout, in the blink of an eye, there was nothing outside the crack in the door. I rubbed my eyes in disbelief, it was still the black crack in the door...

I calmed my nerves... Could it be that the bad luck I sucked in the Poplar Forest has not been completely eliminated? Hallucinations again!?

I reassured myself not to think too much about it, there were so many people here, not to mention that there was a big rock blocking the door.

After eating and drinking, I lay down on the sheets and pillowed my backpack, and they were all lying down. The panting of men echoed in the room...

Next to the coffin, the candle burned silently...

I glanced down at my chest, it was still a disgusting dark blue, and the green tendons were as dense as spider webs. The poison is still spreading in my body... I don't know if I'll make it to find Purple Tomb Moss.

There was already a sound of snoring from the other side of the pillar, and unfortunately, I hadn't fallen asleep yet. If I can't sleep well, how can I rush tomorrow, so I have to cover my ears and force myself to sleep.

The dim candlelight flickered, and the mottled shadow of the coffin was reflected on the wall...

I didn't know how long it had been like I had been half-asleep, when I suddenly felt someone pushing my shoulder. I frowned and opened my eyes to see that it was Cai Wen.

"What's wrong?" I asked, rubbing my sleepy eyes.

Cai Wen said embarrassedly: "My stomach hurts, I want to relieve my hands, but I can't push the stone, can you help me?" ”

Get out? I chuckled in my heart, in this wilderness, it is a bit dangerous to go out so late.

I said, "There may be some wild beast out there foraging for food, or... You solve it in the house. ”

"No kidding, big brother." Cai Wen covered his stomach, his expression was a little distorted, "Then I can't smoke you to death, besides, there is a coffin here, it's too terrifying.."

Thinking of the terrifying eyeball outside the door, I was still a little relieved.

Cai Wen said anxiously: "Hurry up, help me." I'll be back in a moment. ”

"Okay." I stood up, and the uncomfortable look of him made me feel uncomfortable.

I don't know how the iron pillar got such a heavy thing! Cai Wen and I gritted our teeth and used our strength to carry away the big bluestone.

I gently pushed the door open, and it was so dark outside that I couldn't see anything clearly. In the sky, thin black clouds lingered around the moon, and the wind stirred the blades of grass.

Cai Wen unbuttoned his pants and burrowed into the night without looking back.

"Don't run too far." I whispered.

I waited for Cai Wen with my back against the door, after all, he would have to move stones to block the door when he came in.

The candles in the house are more than half burned. Tie Zhu's body was placed in a "big" shape and fell asleep, and Uncle Li also turned his back to me and did not move. The coffin was still unusual.

Everything seems to be peaceful, and it seems that I am overly worried.

Suddenly, the nearby grass suddenly trembled, and a pair of green eyes popped out.

Beast?! I was startled and turned to wake up the master and apprentice.

"Meow~" The thing screamed and came out of the grass.

I fixed my eyes and looked.... There was a false alarm, it turned out to be a little black cat, but fortunately I didn't wake them up, otherwise Tie Zhu would have laughed at me, saying that I was afraid of even a black cat.

To my surprise, the black cat was not afraid of life at all, and walked straight towards me.

That's when I noticed that the hair on its neck was a little messy.

I bent around to tease it, but the beast ignored me, slipped past my legs, licking the crumbs in the house...

Where did this black cat come from? Judging by its appearance of not being afraid of people, it should have been raised by people... It's better to get it away, it's not good to disturb everyone's sleep.

I picked up a twig and walked to it, "Eat it too, get out, little one." ”

Unexpectedly, this black cat suddenly exploded, and a whimpering low roar came out of its mouth.

This brute.. I really don't know how to lift. I raised my hand to hit it, and the black cat "Meow! He screamed and suddenly jumped up in the house. It's terrible to make such a big move!

"Hey... What's wrong?" Tiezhu yawned and sat up.

"I'm sorry," I chased after the black cat.

Old Uncle Li also sat up with his neck twisted, and as soon as he opened his eyes, his face suddenly changed! Almost with all his strength, he shouted, "Get rid of that black cat!" ”

It was the first time I saw Uncle Li so nervous, and when I realized that something was wrong, I was in a daze, and the iron pillar got up quickly and chased after the black cat with me.

"Meow!" The black cat roared angrily, jumped up, and landed on the coffin with a "snap".

"This brute!" The iron pillar knocked it down with a punch, and the black cat screamed and struggled on the ground.

"It's all right, master." The iron pillar proudly picked up the black cat.

At this time, I noticed that wisps of green smoke came out of the cracks in the coffin....

To my shudder, the coffin board suddenly creaked!

And Old Uncle Li's face has completely turned iron blue.

Four words slowly squeezed out of his mouth, stirring up a storm in my heart:

"Black Cat Corpse !!"
