Chapter Forty-Eight: Descending the Mountain

It wasn't until Uncle Ghost pulled out the Earth Immortal Sword from the ice crystal bones and then put the bones on my back that I knew what Uncle Ghost meant by this.

It was to let me carry this ice crystal skeleton on my back and leave this City God Temple.

That's all.

I felt a little embarrassed in my heart, but Uncle Ghost's words and the feeling he gave me still didn't make me feel much to resist.

The main thing is that there is still a feeling in my heart.

That's if I refuse.

Probably going to die here.

I don't want to take that risk.

It seems that seeing that I honestly carried the ice crystal bones on my back, Uncle Ghost also handed me the Earth Fairy Sword.

The moment I took over the Earth Immortal Sword, I felt a bone-chilling coldness suddenly rush from my palm to my body, not only that, but I also faintly felt a murderous aura, which made my back chill unconsciously.

As if sensing my discomfort, Uncle Ghost reminded: "This Earth Immortal Sword created too much killing karma before his death. ”

"And it was also stained with the blood of the city god."

"Ordinary people are very likely to be affected by just touching it, and they will lose their minds."

"Even if you have the City God's Protector on your body, you can only barely keep it from being affected too much."

"But don't let it touch your blood."

"Otherwise, no one can save you."

I nodded.

I also noticed that at this moment, the City God Protector Robe I was wearing was emitting a faint cyan light, and outside of this cyan light, there was a faint layer of black mist, and the black mist seemed to be looking for an opportunity to enter my body, but it was blocked by the cyan light emitted by the City God Protector Vestment.

"One more point."

Uncle Ghost glanced at the corpses of the old drunkards on the ground.

"When you go out, no matter who you meet, no matter what you do, don't pay attention to yours."

It's the same sentence again.

I heard something complicated in my heart.

I've heard this phrase a few times along the way.

But under this truth and falsehood, I really can't tell what is true and what is false.

Uncle Ghost continued: "After returning to Fengling Village, find the smaller black and white coffin in my body's residence, and put the remains of this city god inside. ”

"After that, you can leave the Sealing Spirit Village."

"In three days, there will be a mountain fire, this mountain fire will burn from here to the entire Fengling Village, and when the fire is extinguished, you can return to Fengling Village."

"When the time comes, you will be able to see the Soul Attraction Bead."

"How can you be sure that there will be wildfires in three days?" I was a little surprised.

Uncle Ghost smiled, but didn't answer me.

His body gradually became distorted at this time, and the green tendons on his hideous face began to bulge, and something seemed to be swimming rapidly in it.

I didn't dare to linger any longer, and ran in the direction I came from without looking back, carrying the ice crystal remains on my back and holding the head of the Earth Immortal Sword.

It wasn't until I walked into the corridor again that a loud bang followed.

The connection between the road and the City God's Hall was blocked by a falling boulder.

The next moment, a roar of pain came from behind the boulder.

The roar didn't fade from my ears until I left the corridor and returned to the main hall outside, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon I realized something was wrong.

Because although the door of the main hall was open at this time, the coffin of the evil spirit had been restored to its original state, and although the statue of the city god had returned to its original position after I walked out of the corridor, the head was missing.

It's as if nothing has happened.

If it weren't for the fact that I still had the Ice Crystal Skull on my back and the Earth Immortal Sword in my hand, I might have felt that everything that had happened before was a dream when I saw this scene.

However, it was also at this time that footsteps were heard.

I subconsciously looked over, and my scalp was numb instantly.

It's the old woman.

I looked at her for a moment and didn't dare to move.

I can probably be sure she's the temple keeper here, but the skeleton that appeared in the second hall is also hers, so I'm not sure if she's alive or not.

One thing I know for sure, though.

I carried the remains of the City God behind me.

Holding the Earth Immortal Sword.

And she is the temple keeper.

It's like I'm stealing right under her nose.

Sure enough.

She seems to have been waiting for me for a long time.

Seeing that I didn't move, she walked over to me with a smile.

"I didn't expect that the remains of the City God and the Earth Immortal Sword were still found by you."

Although she was blind, she seemed to be able to see anything, and the white eyes staring at me when she said this made me feel uncomfortable.

But I didn't answer him.

With my previous experience, this time I don't want to think about those true or false things anymore, and I don't care if what Uncle Ghost said is true or not, and I don't want to care whether this old woman is good or bad.

I pretended not to see or hear, and walked straight out of the main hall.

What I didn't expect was that she really didn't see me, and let me walk past her without stopping me.

It wasn't until I got to the spot where the black and white coffin was placed that her voice came.

"You can take the remains of the City God and the Earth Immortal Sword."

"But you need to do one thing for me."

Hearing this, I subconsciously stopped.

It immediately dawned on me that I was thinking too much.

It's not like she didn't see me.

Then she said, "It's not hard for you. ”

"After you find the Soul Coffin and get what you need, bring the Coffin here, and I'll be waiting for you here."

Want a coffin?

"You can go."

As soon as she finished speaking, before I could react, I felt an invisible force appear behind me, and my body began to walk uncontrollably towards the outside of the City God Temple.

It wasn't until I reached the outside of the temple that the temple door was closed.

And the rain and thunder stopped at the same time.

I stood outside the temple gate, and I was a little distracted for a while.

I couldn't believe I came out like this.

I thought that even if I got the Earth Immortal Sword, it would not be so easy for me to leave the City God Temple, but the fact is that I walked out safely.

And.

Still with the Earth Immortal Sword and the remains of the City God.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe.

But laughing and laughing, I couldn't laugh anymore.

Because this matter is not over yet, I still have a stomach full of questions.

Who the hell is Uncle Ghost?

Who is the one disguised as Uncle Ghost?

Who is pretending to be an old drunkard?

And the old woman, as a temple keeper, what role does she play in it?

The person who killed the old drunkard and them, is it the ghost uncle or someone else?

On top of that, I had a deep sense of powerlessness.

Because according to what Uncle Ghost said later, everyone seems to know the secret of Fengling Village, but I don't know anything, not only do I not know that I am like an intruder, in this secret that belongs to Fengling Village, I am being played and used by them.

This feeling......

It's bad.

I smiled self-deprecatingly, and after glancing at the quiet City God Temple behind me, I sighed and began to walk down the mountain.

Despite being depressed.

But at this point, there is only one thing I can do.

Down.

Find the Coffin.

That's all.
