The night wind blew into the ruined temple, and the curtain shook back and forth, like a hand, constantly slapping the back of my head.

I stood on the ground and stared at the coffin in amazement.

Mr. Lu didn't know what was going on outside, he was still babbling, and his voice was undoubtedly coming from inside the coffin.

After a while, he saw that I always didn't answer. There was silence too. After a few seconds, he asked softly, "You found it?" ”

My voice was crying: "I found it." "I don't know why my voice is like this, am I sad?

I walked over and put my hand on the lid of the coffin, which I was going to lift.

Mr. Lu must have heard my voice, and he said a little anxiously, "Don't move, don't move." ”

I was startled, immediately stopped, and asked, "What?" ”

There was some sadness and helplessness in Mr. Lu's voice: "I can't open the coffin now, if I open the coffin now, I will die." ”

It was only then that I realized that the coffin was well sealed. Not only used a few long nails, but also nailed the coffin lid to the coffin. Even the seams are sealed with wax.

I stood next to the coffin, rubbed my hand against the cold lid, and then asked in a trembling voice, "You guys...... You failed, didn't you? ”

Mr. Lu was silent for a while, and then sighed: "Yes, we failed. I was too underestimated, I thought it would be foolproof this time......"

I waved my hand, although this time Mr. Lu, who was hiding in the coffin, could not see it. I asked him, "What about Aunt Xue?" ”

Mr. Lu was silent for a while, and then said, "She can't talk to you yet." ”

A bad feeling welled up in my heart, and I said with some disdain, "You left her there?" Did you escape back on your own? ”

Mr. Lu was obviously afraid of being charged with this crime, and he explained in a panic: "I didn't, I didn't run back on my own." ”

Immediately afterward, his tone was a little sad: "We got into trouble with a terrible thing. We are no opponents, not only did we not heal my wounds, but we didn't even have much chance of escaping. ”

I said coldly: "Don't say these useless things, I just want to know, where is Aunt Xue?" ”

Mr. Lu was silent for a while, and then said, "There are two of us, and one of us has escaped halfway. The rest, were caught. ”

I looked at him suspiciously: "Half of the people who escaped back?" What does that mean? ”

Mr. Lu refused to go into detail, but just said that he would naturally know in the future.

I asked him, "Are you dead or alive now?" ”

Mr. Lu smiled bitterly: "I'm half-dead now." Then he asked vigilantly, "Xue Qian is not here, is he?" ”

I hummed and said, "No." ”

Mr. Lu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Before I open the coffin, don't tell him that I'm here." And don't sue him for my return. ”

I hummed, sat back on the futon, and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Mr. Lu said, "In a few days, you will help me open the coffin." Then I'll take you to save people. ”

My mind was chaotic, and I casually asked: "I don't know anything, how can I save people?" ”

Mr. Lu said: "If you subdue that knife, you will naturally be able to save us." ”

I blurted out, "Forge a sword with a soul? ”

Mr. Lu snorted.

I jumped up from the futon and said loudly, "You really know the origin of this knife, why don't you sue me?" Do you know how badly that knife hurt me? ”

Mr. Lu hurriedly reassured me: "Don't be so loud. I'm so weak now, I have to hide. I know you've been killed by that knife, haven't I come to save you? ”

My feelings gradually stabilized, and then I asked a little angrily, "What the hell is going on?" How did you get here? What do you have to do with that knife? ”

I asked three questions, but Mr. Lu was silent, and after a while, he said, "You know the history of this village, right?" ”

I mumbled, "Got it." The knife sued me. ”

Mr. Lu asked again, "Did he mention a Taoist?" ”

I sighed, "You mean, the Taoist who taught them to forge swords with their souls?" ”

Mr. Lu said, "That's right. Therefore, according to legend, hundreds of years ago, there was a group of Taoists who set up their own doors and did things that hurt nature and reason, and one of the most powerful skills was to cast a knife with a soul. If you think about it, the soul was originally meant to be reincarnated, and if you trapped it in a weapon, wouldn't it be too contrary to the way of heaven? So the famous and decent people at that time began to encircle and suppress them. ”

When Mr. Lu said this, he smiled helplessly: "Although these famous and decent people disdain what they do. But when it comes to their knives, they are full of praise in private. Not only is this knife extremely sharp, but the ghosts and gods want to give it three points. ”

I pulled out the wooden knife in my hand: "But just now, I blocked him with a wooden knife." I had just finished saying this, but I was stunned. Because I found that the wooden knife in my hand had become very soft and light, and with a strong squeeze of my hand, I broke it.

Mr. Lu didn't know what I found, but still explained: "The wooden knife I gave you has been warmed by several masters, and there is a lot of aura in it, which is naturally very precious, but compared with the fast knife forged by the soul, it is still too bad. If these two knives are going to fight hard, wooden knives are not opponents. You just hurt him with a wooden knife and scared him away, which was a fluke. If he persists for a few more moments, he will definitely find that your wooden knife no longer has any aura. He can kill you with any hand. ”

I thought about the scene just now, and I couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and thought: Mr. Lu is already lying in the coffin, or find a way to trap me once.

I asked him curiously, "Even if this knife is very powerful, what are you doing here?" ”

Mr. Lu said: "We need this kind of knife. Only with it can we be rescued. Hehe, if I don't send Mrs. Xue back completely, Xue Qian won't kill me? ”

He sighed, and continued: "Back then, these sideways were strangled by decency, and they were killed and wounded. The last Taoist couldn't bear to see this ability lost, so he passed it on to the Semu people, and those decent people would never think that this skill was not in the hands of the Central Plains people, but in a group of Semu people. I also learned about this news by accident. I laughed it off as a joke, after all, I'm also a decent person, and I don't care about this kind of thing. Hehe, I didn't expect to make people happy, but now it's really used. ”

Mr. Lu sighed for a while, and then said, "In Old Man Xue's tomb, I recognized your knife when I first saw it. It is a soul knife. ”

I said, "Since you know that the knife in my hand is a soul knife, why do you have to go far and far to find some color eye? Is it okay to just come to me directly? ”

Lu Laodao said: "Because this soul knife is unusual, I feel that there is too much violent aura on it. With my current body, I can't control him at all. That's why I didn't go to you, but came to this place to try my luck. ”

It dawned on me, "So you're here to find that kind of knife?" ”

Mr. Lu hummed and said, "After I escaped back, I dragged my seriously injured body and searched for a long time to find this place. When I got here, I realized that although these people still retain the tradition of forging knives, they no longer know how to forge knives with souls. This ability was eventually lost. It was also at this time that my soul could not hold on, so I hurriedly hid in this coffin. ”

I said, "And then you start pretending." Swindling? ”

Mr. Lu sighed: "This is also an accident. I lay in the coffin, and with the yin qi of the coffin, I could barely gather my soul together. As a result, I met the old man outside. It turned out that this coffin was prepared by him for himself. When he saw that I was a dead man, but I could make a sound, he bowed and fell to the ground. ”

"He came to the temple that day to repent and ask for help, and naturally he regarded me as a messenger of God. In order to save my life, I had to use him and ordered him to seal this coffin carefully, and finally saved my soul. Then I listened to him babble about the disaster that had taken place in the village. He didn't understand what was going on, but I understood after listening for a while, you ended up getting that knife bloody. Now it's back. ”

I understood what was going on this time: "And then you want to get this knife." Because you know that this may be the last sword in the world forged from a soul. ”

Mr. Lu admitted very calmly: "Although the violent aura on the knife is very troublesome, I have been thinking about it for a long time in the coffin, and there may be a way to restrain the ferocity on its body." Since the people of the color eyes don't know how to forge knives, I have no choice but to settle for the idea of this knife. ”

I didn't bother to ask him how to deal with the ferocity of the knife, but continued his words: "But you lie in the coffin and can't make a move, so you make up a savior and let the old man find me so that he can do something for you." ”

Mr. Lu laughed, and his tone regained his previous lightness: "Yes, isn't my plan very successful?" ”

I scolded secretly: "Successful fart, you are really lacking in virtue." Now that the knife has escaped, you don't have to think about him. ”

Mr. Lu laughed: "Don't worry, the wooden knife I gave you can only scare him, and soon he will understand what is going on." Maybe he's come back to his senses now, and he's eager to come back and kill you. ”

I shuddered, and said with some trepidation, "What should I do?" ”

Mr. Lu said, "You don't have to be afraid. He won't necessarily come back, either. The wounds inflicted on him by the wooden knife should be kept for at least seven days. If he doesn't come back and kill you before dawn. Then you have seven days to figure it out. ”

As soon as I heard this, a cold sweat came down. It was soon dawn, but the knife came and went like the wind, and no one could say when he would return. I looked at the coffin in front of me, and I couldn't help but feel angry in my heart, and said, "If that knife comes to kill me, I will definitely open your coffin before I die." ”
