All Chapters_Chapter 17: The White Coffin
I sat on the ground crying and shouting as people dressed in alien costumes walked past me and across my body.
It wasn't until I was tired of crying and my voice was hoarse that I really understood that the only thing I could rely on at this moment was myself. I remembered what my grandfather had said to me many times: "The men of the Chen family must stand tall and dare to face all the difficulties and dangers, even in the face of those demons and monsters, we must dare to rush up with a knife, the men of the Chen family, afraid of a ball." ”
I got up from the ground, wiped away my tears, gritted my teeth and walked on, and although I was still terrified by the sight of the people shuttling around, it was much better than before.
In the end, I even took the initiative to reach out and touch those people, watching my own hand pass through their bodies, but they didn't feel anything, still talking and laughing about their own business.
These people don't seem to be ghosts?
I was a little confused, because in my senses, except that they couldn't see me and contact me, everything they did was the same as ordinary people, eating, drinking, and even a group of children fighting on the street corner, which was completely ordinary people's lives, and there was nothing similar to the legends about ghosts I had heard.
In my eyes, the surrounding houses are almost the same, and it is difficult to distinguish them if you don't look closely, but what makes me very concerned is that there is a huge white stone on the roof of these houses or castles.
As far as I could see, there were white stones of various shapes on the roofs of every house, which seemed to be a custom of the tribe.
I don't know how long I wandered around the dwelling, but when it was getting dark, I finally came out of the paths, and before me was a long stone staircase that led to the top of the mountain, and I looked up, and there was no end in sight, hazy and mysterious.
At this time, I don't know where I got the courage, I actually climbed the stone steps straight up, I had a faint hunch in my heart, the answer I wanted to find should be at the end of the stone steps, the mysterious place at the top of the mountain.
As soon as I had climbed a few stone steps, I knew that I had guessed correctly, because my body was strange again, and the place where the phoenix bird mark on my left shoulder was located became a little hot again, and as I continued to walk up, the burning sensation became more and more obvious.
I stopped, a little afraid that I would be in the same hot, dying state I had when I was down the hill again. And as I stopped, the burning sensation gradually subsided.
I glanced at the stone steps in front of me that I don't know how many knots, gritted my teeth, and continued to move forward, I believe that my grandfather will not harm me, and the ancestors of my Chen family will not lay out more than three hundred years just to let me die here, they must have their own intentions.
I don't know how long I walked, but I felt my skin ache like a fire, my chest felt like a mountain was being crushed, and it took a lot of strength to take a breath.
I was dizzy, my limbs were weak, and I felt like I would go through vertigo at any moment. In this state of agony, I finally reached the last stone staircase, which seemed to be a very wide platform, and before I could see what was on it, I could no longer bear the piercing pain, and fell to the cold ground, rolling all over the ground, groaning in pain.
But perhaps because I've already experienced it once at the bottom of the mountain, this time the pain wasn't as intense as the first time, and it faded quickly.
I rubbed my swollen eyes, got up from the ground, and began to look at the surroundings, this is a huge flat land, in the middle of the flat land, that is, directly opposite me, there is an extremely strange style of the ancient castle standing majestically, the ancient castle is very large, I stand in front of the ancient castle gate, as if facing a mountain, I feel my own insignificance.
I walked over, there was a huge leather drum in front of the castle, the leather drum was also very large, the diameter was close to a zhang, I don't know what animal skin it was made of, I couldn't help but stretch out a hand and touch it, it was cold and soft in my hand.
The moment I touched the drum, I felt as if a force had penetrated into my body, and the phoenix imprint on my left shoulder began to heat up, as if in response. But this time I didn't have the same pain as I had just now, I just dizzy and recovered.
I was so frightened that I took a few steps back, looked at my hands, and wondered why I had involuntarily touched the weird leather drum just now.
This thing is really evil!
At this moment, there was a sound of people under the stone steps, and I was suddenly startled. But I didn't hide from it, because I knew that no one here could see me, or even touch my body.
I stood in front of the leather drum and watched the people silently, and soon a young man in a Taoist robe walked up to the platform and appeared in front of me.
My eyes widened suddenly, and my heart beat violently, because this man's dress was completely different from the rest of the village, and although his clothes were a little different from the style worn by Wuwei Zhenren, they were really a Taoist robe.
This is a Taoist priest!
And more importantly, I felt a kind of familiarity from this young Taoist, I was sure that I had never seen this person, but looking at his face, I felt like I had seen it somewhere, and there was an inexplicable familiarity.
"Are you sure it's right in here?"
The young Taoist priest suddenly spoke, his face looking a little serious.
I was instantly overjoyed, thinking that this Taoist priest was talking to me, and that he was still speaking Chinese, and although his tone was a little strange, I could still understand it, and I shouted at him happily and asked him what this place was.
However, I was soon disappointed, because the Taoist priest did not seem to hear my voice, but lowered his head and said something. I looked in the direction of his lower head, and was suddenly startled, and there was a fist-thick white snake lying at the feet of the Taoist priest, this white snake had a hideous face, and a pair of dark golden vertical pupils flashed with a cold and faint cold light.
When the white snake heard the words of the Taoist priest, he actually straightened up his body and nodded, very humane, and hissing in his mouth, and the snake hyacinth continued to expand and contract.
"Hmph, if you hadn't lied to me, I would have let you go when the time came." The Taoist seemed to understand the words of the White Snake, and he looked at the ancient castle behind me, his eyes shining with excitement.
A man and a snake walked towards the gates of the castle, and I was standing right in front of them.
I watched them come towards me, and I didn't dodge because I knew they were going to take me like a cloud of air and pass through my body.
Sure enough, the man walked through my body without hindrance, exactly like the people down the mountain.
But then, something unexpected happened, and the young Taoist priest looked back sharply in my direction, his brow furrowed tightly, and his face was a little puzzled.
I thought he had noticed something, and hurriedly yelled at him, bouncing around him and doing all sorts of movements to get his attention. But soon, I was disappointed again, and although the Taoist priest looked at me deadly, he seemed to not be able to hear me, and he stretched out his right hand, and pinched his fingers, which seemed to be constantly stretching and bending with some kind of regularity.
Hiss!
The White Snake looked back at the Taoist strangely, as if asking what was wrong with him.
The man shook his head, withdrew his right hand, looked at me with a frown, and then turned away, and I heard him turn around and say, "It's strange, it's like a soul but not a soul, and it can't be counted." ”
I watched in disappointment as the Taoist and the White Snake entered the castle, and I thought about it and followed them in.
As soon as I stepped through the gate, I immediately felt a bright and dazzling eye, and when I looked up, I found that there were several strangely shaped openings on the top of the castle, and the openings seemed to be inlaid with something similar to a mirror, reflecting the sunlight from the sky into the castle, making it look bright.
The castle was large, but it was very empty, except for an altar in the middle, which was not large, about two meters high.
The moment I saw the altar, my eyes contracted sharply, because I saw a coffin on the altar, a white coffin!
"It shouldn't be, such a strong luck, endless, so strong that this spirit coffin is almost uncontrollable, how can it suddenly destroy the country? Not to mention that this luck can make them compete in the Central Plains, but it is more than enough to keep a piece of land. "I heard the strange remark of the man, who was now standing on the altar, holding out one hand and rubbing the white coffin, his face full of doubt.
When the white snake heard the words of the Taoist, he propped himself up and hissed, as if he was saying something.
The Taoist narrowed his eyes, he looked at the white snake and said, "Time is too long, perhaps, they have been calculated?" ”
As soon as the Taoist finished speaking, he shook his head to himself, and said, "I want to see what is under this spirit coffin, there is such a long and long luck!" ”
As he spoke, he reached into the gap in the white coffin and jerked it open, revealing the ...... underneath
