Chapter 40: Not a Real Old Drunkard

Listening to the conversation between the two, my heart immediately lifted.

The voices of the two of them are still easy for me to distinguish.

I could hear Uncle Ghost's hesitation.

You can also hear the eagerness of the old drunkard.

I also began to say silently in my heart: Uncle Ghost, don't hesitate, open the coffin with the old drunkard.

Fast!

In this way, I waited for a while with a heart.

Fortunately, Uncle Ghost was finally persuaded by the old drunkard.

Soon I felt the coffin vibrating, and soon there was a creaking sound, and the lid was pushed open little by little.

And as the lid was pushed open, I began to feel the feeling that had suppressed me and kept me immobile fading.

Until the lid was completely pushed open, I sat up from the coffin.

Uncle Ghost and the old drunkard were obviously stunned for a moment.

Apparently they didn't expect me to be in the coffin.

"How did you get in there?" Uncle Ghost was the first to ask.

The old drunkard's brow furrowed.

"Boy."

"Where's the stuff inside?"

I smiled wryly, "Don't mention it." ”

Then I told the two of them what had happened, and after listening to what I said, the faces of Uncle Ghost and the old drunkard sank.

The old drunkard confirmed, "You mean there's a guy pretending to be a ghost boy." ”

"He caused you to be locked inside?"

I nodded.

The old drunkard's face suddenly turned ugly.

Uncle Ghost was quite calm, just frowned and said, "If the one who disguised himself as me is also a human, it means that someone should have come here before us." ”

"And that guy knows who we are, what we're here to do."

"Who could that be?" I asked.

Uncle Ghost shook his head, and then said, "There is another possibility. ”

"That's ......"

Uncle Ghost looked at me, and then at the old drunkard.

"Probably not people."

I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a chill in my back.

"What else do you know, ghost boy?" The old drunkard looked at Uncle Ghost.

Uncle Ghost glanced at the statue of the City God, which had been restored to its original state at some point, and then his gaze returned to me and said, "According to what you just said. ”

"There should be a lot of problems with this statue of the City God."

"And the one who pretended to be me to restore the statue of the city god should have some kind of purpose."

"It's possible that it's also for the Earth Immortal Sword."

"You mean, this statue of the City God is the key to finding the Earth Immortal Sword." I frowned and said, "Doesn't that mean that he should have been one step ahead of us?" ”

The old drunkard slapped his thigh.

"So what are you waiting for?"

"Hurry up and find it."

"It doesn't matter what he is, let's find the Earth Immortal Sword first."

The old drunkard said that he was leaving.

But at this moment, Uncle Ghost suddenly pulled out the soul suppression rope on his waist, and then threw it at the old drunkard fiercely!

"Ahh

The old drunkard immediately let out a terrible scream.

The next moment I saw a black mist begin to emerge from his back, and his body began to distort.

He turned his head and looked at Uncle Ghost with disbelief in his eyes.

"You ......"

"How did you find out?"

Uncle Ghost's face was calm.

"You're acting too really."

At the same time, the soul suppression rope in Uncle Ghost's hand was waved out again, and it was thrown heavily on the old drunkard, and at this moment, the old drunkard's body was completely changed.

His flesh began to blur, then gradually turned into a black mist, revealing the white bones within.

But he burst out laughing.

"Boy."

"It's late."

"Soon you'll all have to die."

"...... will all die"

I'm a little confused.

The Soul Suppression only works on souls.

Doesn't that mean that the old drunkard before me is a fake?

I looked at the old drunkard who had completely turned into a ball of bones, and it took me a while to come back to my senses and look at Uncle Ghost.

"What's going on?"

Uncle Ghost said with a complicated face: "The old drunkard will not go up the mountain with us." ”

"Although he pretends to be very similar, he can only disguise himself as an old drunkard after all."

"And, he's got a glaring flaw."

"What's the flaw?" I'm a little curious.

Uncle Ghost looked at the bones on the ground and said, "Although the old drunkard has been in Fengling Village for many years and has become accustomed to many things, he has always been steady, and he is very calm no matter what happens. ”

"It is also for this reason that those who stayed in Fengling Village have great respect for him."

"But I'm sure he's not an old drunkard, he's still here."

Uncle Ghost looked at the black coffin.

"This coffin has the seal of a Taoist talisman."

"And the old drunkard, he is a lay disciple of the Maoshan lineage."

"It's impossible for him not to know that there is a place where the talisman is sealed, and there must be danger, but he has been asking me to open the coffin from the beginning, which is problematic in itself."

"Then why do you have to open the coffin?" I don't understand it.

Because according to what Uncle Ghost said, since he had already seen that the old drunkard was fake, why did he still open the coffin with him, wasn't he afraid that something would happen?

Uncle Ghost didn't answer me, but walked over to the coffin and tore off the talisman.

"This talisman has been passed once."

"So I guess someone should have opened the coffin before us."

I understood it at once, and at the same time I also admired Uncle Ghost a little.

If it were, I wouldn't have looked so closely.

At least not yet.

After cleaning up my mood, I asked again, "So what do we do now?" ”

"There are still no clues about the Earth Immortal Sword."

Uncle Ghost once again set his eyes on the black coffin.

"There should be something wrong with this coffin."

"According to what you said, there should have been something in this black coffin, and after you opened the coffin for the first time, the contents should have run away, and the head of the city god should be some kind of seal."

"After the God's head was put back in the statue, something should have been triggered, so you'll be locked inside."

"If I'm not mistaken......"

Uncle Ghost frowned.

"It's most likely a way to change the day."

"You opened the coffin, so you took the place of the one who ran out and was sealed inside."

"The one disguised as mine should be for the purpose of releasing the contents inside."

"What about the one who disguises himself as an old drunkard?" I asked.

Uncle Ghost fell silent, as if thinking.

"Squeaky ......"

Suddenly, there was a noise.

My eyelids jumped.

The next moment I saw the statue of the City God, which had been restored to its original position, standing up again.

Only this time his white eyes didn't fall on me, but on Uncle Ghost.

Uncle Ghost's face changed drastically.

"Run!"

Uncle Ghost shouted, and at the same time pushed me out of the main hall.

At the same time, there was a "squeak", and the door of the main hall slammed shut again.
