Chapter Thirty-Nine: He's Gone, You're Coming
The lid of the coffin was not sealed, and Uncle Ghost and I used force at the same time, and the lid of the coffin was easily opened.
To my surprise, there was no body in the black coffin, but only a large head, which I could recognize even in the darkness as missing from the statue in the main hall.
That is, the head of the statue of the city god.
There was nothing else in it but the skull.
I was a little disappointed, so I decided to push the lid back into place, because even if I opened the coffin and made sure there was nothing else inside, the black coffin still made me feel uneasy from the bottom of my heart.
But I was about to move, but Uncle Ghost stopped me.
"Wait."
Uncle Ghost said thoughtfully: "Although the Earth Immortal Sword is not inside, sealing the statue of the City God in this black coffin already explains the problem. ”
"Maybe ......"
Uncle Ghost looked at the statue of the City God.
I got it.
"You mean, there's something wrong with the statue of the City God?"
Uncle Ghost nodded and said, "This black coffin is not simple. ”
"It was deliberately used to seal the head of this city god, and it is very likely that there is some reason."
"Maybe it has something to do with the Earth Immortal Sword."
"So what to do?" I asked.
Uncle Ghost glanced at the statue, then looked at the head inside the coffin, and then said, "Put this head up and take a look." ”
"Maybe something will change."
"Could there be any problems?" I'm a little worried.
Uncle Ghost said seriously: "If you want to find the Earth Immortal Sword, you have to take a risk. ”
"So whenever we get the chance, we're going to give it a try."
I looked at Uncle Ghost in some surprise, but I also felt that there was some truth in what he said.
Then I started moving my head with Uncle Ghost.
To my surprise, the head was unexpectedly light, and Uncle Ghost and I were ready to use it up, but before we could use our strength, the head had already been lifted out of the coffin.
I was even more of a stumbling and almost fell.
This made me wonder a little, and when I looked at it, I realized that the head was actually made of wood, but strangely, neither the head nor the mutilated statue looked very old, but there was no sign of decay.
In particular, the head was still very well preserved in the black coffin, as if it had just been separated from the statue.
I felt that something was wrong, but Uncle Ghost had already climbed onto the offering table with his head in his arms, and simply placed his head on the mutilated statue.
Only then did I notice that the head was also blind.
Just like those blind old men in Fengling Village, his eyes were white, and he looked very mad.
After placing the head, Uncle Ghost jumped off the offering table.
It's just that the two of us waited for a while but didn't find any changes, and the hall was very quiet, not to mention that there were traces of the Earth Immortal Sword.
I was immediately disappointed.
"Could it be that the Earth Immortal Sword isn't here?"
Uncle Ghost shook his head and said, "Probably not." ”
"Why don't we look for it separately?"
"There is more than this hall in this City God Temple, maybe the Immortal Sword is in other places."
I thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Uncle Ghost walked out of the hall directly.
But looking at Uncle Ghost's back, I felt that something was wrong.
He walks......
Seems normal!
I couldn't help but frown.
You must know that although Uncle Ghost looked like a normal person when he walked before, there would still be a clear difference after walking for a long time.
And from the time he went up the mountain to the present, according to what he said, we were separated for a while in the middle, and he should have been standing and walking for a long time, and he should have felt uncomfortable a long time ago. ,
But he had just climbed onto the offering table.
And it's jumping.
And when he opened the coffin, he used his hands.
It's the same when you hold that head.
He's not a ghost uncle!
Thinking of this, my heart couldn't help but chuckle, and cold sweat broke out all of a sudden.
He's not a ghost uncle.
So who is he?
I just felt a chill in my back.
At this moment, I suddenly felt a shock, I subconsciously looked behind me, but saw that the statue of the city god who was sitting quietly behind the offering table actually stood up at this time.
His white eyes stared straight at me.
I was startled and subconsciously wanted to run, but the door to the main hall suddenly closed at this time.
A figure seemed to flash outside the door.
At the same time, the black coffin beside me began to shake violently.
Then a voice came to my ear.
"He ran away......"
"He ran away!"
"Then come on!"
"Come ......"
The sound seemed to contain some kind of power, constantly echoing in my ears, and my body began to involuntarily walk towards the coffin.
Even my best restraint would not help.
And as I got closer, I began to feel an attraction drawing me, and a thought began to pop through my mind.
I want to lie down.
My body began to lose control, and I just watched myself crawl in.
Then the lid of the coffin is closed.
There was darkness in front of my eyes.
But I still couldn't struggle, I couldn't even make any sound, as if my body didn't belong to me anymore and I couldn't do anything.
My heart sank to the bottom.
I don't understand.
I've been careful.
I also carefully observed Uncle Ghost when I saw him in the City God Temple, and the Soul Suppression Rope and the Corpse Scythe obviously couldn't hurt him, how could he be a fake Uncle Ghost?
And if he wasn't Uncle Ghost, who would he be?
I thought of the sound that echoed in my ears.
Is it the one who ran away?
If yes.
So who is the one who ran away?
It's just clear that no one can give me an answer.
I also gradually felt a little suffocated.
Consciousness seems to be getting a little blurred.
It was then that I heard a knock on the coffin, followed by two footsteps.
"Ghost boy, this is the main hall of this City God Temple."
"Look for it and see if there are any clues to the Earth Immortal Sword."
Is it an old drunkard and a ghost uncle?
Hearing this, I suddenly came to my senses, but unfortunately I still couldn't react.
Soon Uncle Ghost's voice came again.
"Someone seems to have been here."
"Could it be that kid? I said that the boy had a great life and could not die. ”
"I just don't know if he found any clues."
I wanted to say that it was me, but I still couldn't react, I couldn't even move, and I could only pray in my heart that they would notice the coffin I was in.
Thankfully, they didn't disappoint me either.
Soon the voice of the old drunkard came.
"Ghost boy, let's open this coffin."
"Maybe there's a clue in there."
"What is pasted on this should be a Taoist talisman, and there may be something in it." Uncle Ghost's voice was a little hesitant.
"Afraid of what?"
"Maybe the Earth Immortal Sword is inside."
