Chapter 38: The Black Coffin

Hearing me say this, Uncle Ghost fell silent.

After a moment he sighed slightly.

"I shouldn't have seen it before."

Uncle Ghost's words made my eyelids jump.

"What do you mean?"

"There is a mirage everywhere on this ghost mountain, and if you inhale it, you will hallucinate, and I didn't pay attention to it at first, and by the time I realized it, we were already scattered."

"You must have been affected by a mirage, so you saw another me."

"And the old drunkard you mentioned."

"This ghost mountain is dangerous, how can an old drunkard go up the mountain."

I fell silent.

But I'm still a little unconvinced.

Because I didn't feel any discomfort from the beginning to the end, and I have been following Uncle Ghost from the beginning, so it can be said that I will never leave.

Besides, the old woman had warned me that I couldn't trust anyone when I got here.

Unless the old woman also said she was lying to me.

I suddenly felt a little messed up in my head.

I looked at him.

"Why should I trust you?"

Uncle Ghost thought for a moment, pulled the soul suppression cord out of his waist, and then threw it on himself.

With a "snap", Uncle Ghost's brows furrowed obviously, but it was obvious that he had not been hurt much.

I was a little shaken when I saw this.

And as if to convince me, Uncle Ghost took out the corpse scythe again, and then slashed it towards his arm.

I feel pain when I look at it, but Uncle Ghost has no trace left on his hands.

The soul that calms the soul and asks for the wounded.

The corpse of the scythe, that is, the flesh and blood.

But neither of these things caused harm to Uncle Ghost.

Other words......

If nothing else, the ghost uncle in front of him is real.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and I felt a little afraid.

"Could it be that what I saw before was really not you?"

Uncle Ghost nodded, and then asked me, "What did you see?" ”

I thought about it for a while, and told Uncle Ghost everything I had happened before.

Uncle Ghost's face changed significantly.

Especially when he heard me say that old woman, Uncle Ghost's face turned a little paler.

"There's no way an old drunkard can't come up the mountain."

"The old woman ......"

"There was indeed a temple keeper in the early years of the City God Temple."

"If she's real, then you might be in danger."

"What do you mean?" I don't quite understand it.

"After you were lost by the mirage, you should have been saved by that old woman, but as a temple keeper, your duty is to protect this City God Temple, and you have already told her the purpose of your visit, so she naturally can't stand by."

"Chances are, she'll find you again soon."

"If that's the case, why didn't she kill me in the first place?" I don't quite understand.

Uncle Ghost explained: "As a village guard, you have the aura of the city god on your body, and it is not good for her to kill you in a grand manner, and when you come here, the aura of the city god on your body will disappear." ”

My heart chuckled.

"But that's just my guess."

Uncle Ghost glanced around.

"Since you're already here, let's find the Earth Immortal Sword first."

After Uncle Ghost finished speaking, he walked towards the depths of the temple.

I just feel like my brain is messed up.

It's like when I was in Niang'er Village, I couldn't tell what was real and what was fake.

Even now, even if the Soul Suppression Rope and the Corpse Scythe failed to hurt the ghost uncle in front of him, can you really believe what he said?

I'm not sure.

At this moment, I only had a deep sense of powerlessness.

I hesitated for a moment, but I still followed Uncle Ghost.

Deep in the temple is the main hall of the City God Temple.

Like the outside, the main hall was already very dilapidated, and when I entered, there was a smell of decay, which was very pungent, and I couldn't help but frown.

But that's not the main thing, unlike the black and white coffins outside, there are several skeletons lying in the hall, and the head of each skeleton has disappeared.

In the center of the bones was a pure black coffin.

The black coffin is hidden in the darkness and is almost impossible to see if you don't get closer.

Not only that, but I felt a thrill just by looking at the black coffin, as if something inside was watching me.

"Coffin?"

My eyelids jumped.

But I quickly dismissed the idea again.

If this is the Zhenling Coffin, we don't need to find any Earth Immortal Sword, and it is impossible for Uncle Ghost and them not to know that things are here.

I subconsciously chose to stay away from this black coffin.

That feeling of panic has only decreased a little.

I continued to look inside the main hall, but it was empty except for the bones and the black coffin, and the only thing left was an offering table and a statue behind it.

And the statue, like the bones, the head was gone, only the body remained.

When I didn't have the slightest clue, Uncle Ghost suddenly called out to me.

He began to examine the bones from the moment he entered the main hall, and he was standing in front of the black coffin when he called me.

"Turn it on!"

Uncle Ghost pointed to the black coffin.

My eyelids jumped.

"What are you doing with it?"

I wanted to refuse, after all, this black coffin didn't feel good to me, but Uncle Ghost was staring at it.

"The Earth Immortal Sword may be inside!"

Uncle Ghost said.

Hearing this, I was slightly stunned, and subconsciously set my eyes on the black coffin again.

"Are you sure?"

Uncle Ghost looked around, "In addition to those ordinary black and white coffins in this City God Temple, only this black coffin is different, if the Earth Immortal Sword is really in this City God Temple, then it is very likely to be in it." ”

Uncle Ghost's words are reasonable and well-founded, and it makes my heart a little moved.

"No matter what, this coffin must be opened!"

Uncle Ghost was resolute.

Seeing this, I didn't hesitate any longer and walked directly to the coffin.

Only then did I notice that there was a piece of paper attached to the joint between the lid and the body of the black coffin, and some strange symbols were drawn on it.

I asked Uncle Ghost, "What is this?" ”

Uncle Ghost glanced at it and said, "I don't know, but it seems that it has been many years." ”

"Tear it off."

"If there is no Earth Immortal Sword in it, then paste it."

I nodded, reached out and tore the paper off.

It's just that I don't know why, at the moment when I tore it off, I suddenly felt a chill behind my back, and vaguely I seemed to hear a sneer.

I subconsciously looked to the side, but I didn't see anyone except Uncle Ghost, who was staring at the black coffin.

"What's wrong?"

Uncle Ghost glanced at me.

I had some doubts in my mind, but I shook my head anyway.

"Nothing."

"Let's open the coffin first."
