Chapter Seventy-Nine: Two Corpses

He pondered for a while, slowly stepped forward and pressed his hand on the coffin lid on the left, and then the yin qi in the palm of his hand gathered, and a strong yin wind seemed to appear around him out of thin air, and he actually lifted the coffin lid up.

As soon as I opened it, a strong rancid smell came to my nose, which made people sick.

Su Bai frowned, leaning on the grimace mask to isolate most of the smell so that he would not regurgitate and vomit.

It's the stench of a corpse that's been dead for a long time!

The stench he had smelled at the front door was probably coming from here.

He looked down and saw that inside the coffin was a corpse that had decomposed to almost all its bones.

Although he was not a forensic doctor, he could not tell the age of a man or a woman from the bones, but he could roughly deduce that it was a man and that he was very old.

Maybe it's the wife of the goddess outside.

"But looking at this rotten appearance, it's been a few years......

"This goddess didn't see that she was so affectionate, and she had to leave her wife's body by her side for so long......"

He was just about to put down the lid of the coffin, when he suddenly glanced at it, but found a red corner in the pocket of a torn shirt.

"It's ......"

He froze for a moment, then cautiously reached over and took it out.

It's a very old version of the marriage certificate.

It was even handwritten at the time.

It can be seen that the owner takes great care of it and keeps it very well. It's just that after the corpse decomposed, it was soaked in some stains, and it also exuded a strange smell.

There were a few pages glued together, but that didn't prevent him from seeing the owner of the certificate.

The black-and-white photograph shows a smiling man and a woman.

The man is young and honest, and the woman is good-looking, and it can be vaguely seen that it is the current goddess when she was young.

And below is their information.

"Liu Hanwei, male, 23 years old......"

"Yuan Xiuhua, female, 21 years old......"

But when he looked down and saw the date of their wedding, he couldn't believe his eyes.

“…… Married on June 11, 473 AH ......"

And now it's 579.

More than a hundred years have passed.

And the goddess was already 21 years old when she got married, and now it is estimated that she is about 127 years old?!

Su Bai was a little incredulous.

How is it possible for an average person to live for such a long time?!

What's more, the goddess still looks like she is sixty or seventy years old, her hair has not completely turned white, although she is old and frail, but she doesn't look like she has such an age at all.

Things seem to be getting weird and weird.

He put the certificate back on, then closed the lid and looked at the coffin next to him.

"If that was her wife just now and was put here after she died, what about this?"

Su Bai concocted the same method, and directly manipulated the yin qi to open the lid of the coffin on the right.

"Boom ......"

A thick burst of dust suddenly rose in the coffin, and although there was a rancid smell, it was not as obvious as before.

Su Bai waved his hand to blow away the dust and debris with the wind, and looked intently into the coffin.

It was only when he saw what was inside that he frowned.

It was the corpse of a middle-aged woman with a relatively well-preserved face and a pale face.

Seeing that her face was somewhat similar to the couple on the marriage certificate just now, he was a little suspicious that this was their daughter.

That is, the corpse of the daughter of the goddess outside.

But what made him a little uncertain was that the woman's death before death was very terrifying-

Her eyes widened in horror, her mouth open, and her hands clutched at her throat as if she were about to suffocate, and there were signs of struggle all over her body.

Even now, those eyes are still wide open and refuse to close.

Extreme fear and despair!

It was something he could feel from the poor woman's face at first glance.

"What terrible thing happened to her before she died......"

Su Bai was a little puzzled: "Since that goddess is so capable, there is no reason why she can't save her daughter......

and died so miserably that he still refuses to close his eyes......

"Wait......"

He suddenly realized something, smelled the smell in the air, it felt something familiar, and then slowly reached out and touched the corpse's arm with a solemn expression.

Hard and cold.

But it didn't feel like the corpse he had touched before, but more like the one he had seen not long ago—

Puppet!

"Sure enough......"

His heart pounded, and he felt as if he was close to the truth.

He could even roughly guess the cause of her death—

The corpse in front of me was not a real puppet, it looked like it was originally human, but then it may have been cursed by some accident, and the original flesh and blood slowly began to wooden, turning into the current state of half-human and half-puppet.

From the hands, feet, and legs at the beginning, this curse even began to affect her eating and breathing!

When her breathing tubes and lungs turned to wood, she suffocated to death in despair......

That's why she's been so long, and there's no obvious sign of decay.

When the lid of the coffin was lifted just now, it should not be dust, but sawdust left over from the weathering of the wood......

And the currently known things that can turn people into puppets, Su Bai only knows about the puppet doll that was brought out of the ruins.

It just so happens that they are still within the confines of the same village.

If it was just a coincidence, he would never believe it.

"Looks like it has something to do with that puppet doll......"

"But the puppet doll before was locked under the ruins, and the stand-ins of Shen Suxian and a few people who went down to explore the ruins barely affected the outside world, why did there be puppets here? And it has apparently been around for decades! ”

He frowned and thought deeply, feeling that things were a little confusing.

At this moment, there was a sudden "knock" sound in the living room outside the door, as if a child was bouncing on the wooden floor.

But how could the indifferent character of the goddess allow the children outside to play in her room?

Su Bai immediately realized that the ceremony might have begun, and without hesitation, he put the coffin lid back and turned around and walked out of the room.

As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw several glass bottles rolling on the floor of the living room at some point.

Just as he had seen in the hospital before, the bottles contained a dark yellow liquid soaked in some unknown piece of meat.

And when these bottles roll, it is like a child beating playfully, "dong dong", and there are faint sounds of childish babies crying and laughing in the ears, and the originally quiet floor is very lively at this time.

It's just that if ordinary people see this scene, I'm afraid they will be scared to death on the spot.
