Chapter 43: Three incense burns
The incense seemed to have been extinguished by that hand.
I took a deep breath and walked over.
After waiting for a while, the hand did not return to its place, as if it should have been in that position, and I was uneasy, but I bit my finger again and dripped blood on the incense burner.
After a short time, two sticks of incense slowly lit on the incense burner.
Seeing this, I was slightly relieved.
I thought to myself that maybe the hand itself was used to extinguish the incense, otherwise there would not be more than half of the three incense sticks left by now, and I comforted myself.
The statue behind the offering table spoke again.
"Burn two incense, you can open the evil coffin!"
At the same time, I heard a creak coming from outside the temple, as if a door had suddenly opened.
I hurriedly walked out, and at a glance I saw that the door of the main hall, which had been closed, had been opened, and the inside had changed from the original darkness to brightness, and it seemed that there were candles shining.
I subconsciously thought that Uncle Ghost was saved.
At the same time, I also realized that the so-called evil coffin should be the black coffin.
And the reason why Uncle Ghost and I were sealed inside one after another is because we opened the coffin in the wrong way.
Only by lighting two sticks of incense, maybe there will be no problem in opening the black coffin.
It's just that at the same time I'm a little confused.
The one disguised as Uncle Ghost obviously knows a lot more about the City God Temple than I do, doesn't he know this?
Confused, I soon returned to the main hall.
But I didn't rush to open the lid of the black coffin, but looked around first.
Because although I guessed that this black coffin was the evil coffin, it was only my own guess, and if I guessed wrong, even if I rescued Uncle Ghost, I might be in danger myself.
After looking for a while, I didn't see a second coffin in the main hall, so my heart relaxed a little, and then I set my eyes on the statue of the city god, and after making sure that it had not changed any more, I came to the black coffin.
Soon the black coffin was pushed open by me.
But looking at the scene inside the black coffin, I was dumbfounded.
There's no ghost in there.
At first glance, there was not even a human figure, and there was only a yellow piece of paper in the coffin, on which a small figure was drawn.
City God stickers?
I was a little stunned.
How can there be a city god sticker in this?
Where did Uncle Ghost go?
Could it be that Uncle Ghost is a change from this city god?
I just felt a chill in my back.
I'm pretty sure that this sticker didn't exist before, and the yellow sticker is, as far as I know, it's Uncle Ghost's.
Again, I think it's ridiculous.
I've seen more than one person transformed by the Chenghuang sticker, except for the woman, most of them are like puppets, and there is still a lot of difference from real people.
Could it be that Uncle Ghost is not locked up in this black coffin?
Before he was imprisoned, he replaced himself with a city god sticker?
As soon as I thought about it, I vetoed it again.
I have the impression that every sticker is a one-time sticker that turns to ashes when it is used up.
So this Chenghuang sticker has not been used.
Unless there is some other usage of the Chenghuang sticker that I don't know.
In addition to this.
That's what other secrets I haven't discovered in this hall.
But I looked around, and I still didn't see anything.
However, from beginning to end, the statue in the main hall and the black coffin have not changed again, which also makes me sure that the black coffin should be the evil coffin.
That said, my guess was correct.
It's just that it's right, this time, except for Uncle Ghost's unexpected disappearance, I didn't get any clues to light the third incense, only the Chenghuang sticker.
It can't be that this sticker is a condition for lighting the third incense, right?
I thought about it, and I was a little disappointed in my heart.
Still, I decided to give it a try.
After all, I didn't find anything other than this poster.
I didn't hesitate any longer, and went straight to the second hall.
But standing in front of the incense burner, I was a little troubled.
How?
Go up in flames?
I looked at the sticker, then at the incense burner, and thought for a moment that I had dripped blood on the incense burner according to the old rules, but there was no doubt that this time the incense burner did not move, and even the two incense sticks that I had lit were burned again.
Could it be that it is dripping on this city god sticker?
I thought about it for a moment, and then dripped the blood again.
However, there was still no response.
This made me a little upset all of a sudden, and I didn't know how to guess because I didn't know how to guess.
You can't burn this sticker, can you?
Thinking of this, I subconsciously set my eyes on the Chenghuang sticker, I have already tried all the methods, and it seems that this is the only thing that has not been done yet.
After hesitating for a while, I took out the fire fold, thinking that there was no other way anyway, so I directly put the yellow city god sticker on the fire fold and burned it.
In an instant, the yellow city god sticker turned to ashes.
However, there was still no response.
I couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
Looking at the ashes on the ground, I suddenly became a little irritable.
This Chenghuang sticker is the only clue I have at the moment, and now the clue is gone.
However, at this moment, the remains sitting on the futon suddenly moved.
Its hand on the censer was finally taken back in front of me.
Not only that, but a layer of flesh began to appear on the remains, and that layer of flesh covered the skeleton's body at a speed that I could see with my naked eye.
In a matter of moments, the skeleton became a flesh-and-blood person.
And this man is very familiar to me.
It was clearly the old woman I met when I was going up the mountain.
I was taken aback.
Sit directly on the ground.
This scene was even greater than the impact I had on me when I saw that Zhuang Yue came back from the dead in Niang'er Village.
However, I soon realized that something was wrong.
Although the bones have changed into the appearance of the old woman, it looks like flesh and blood, but if you look closely, you can clearly see that there is still a white skeleton under the flesh and blood.
It feels unreal.
"Fake?"
I got up from the ground and was about to lean over to take a look.
It was at this moment that she suddenly stood up from the futon.
But she didn't seem to see me, but bowed three times to the censer on the offering table.
After the prayer, she did it again on the futon, only this time she also had the incense burner in her hand.
And after she took the incense burner in her hand, all the incense that I had tried to light again was actually lit.
And as all three incense sticks were lit, the statue behind the offering table heard again.
"Three incense burning, you can enter the City God Palace!"
"Enter, worship the city god!"
