Chapter 120: The Coffin in the Well
I was taken aback and hurriedly pulled Liu Shan back, but at this time, Liu Shan struggled desperately to jump into the well as if he had fallen into an evil spirit.
I had no choice but to knock Liu Shan unconscious again, and then drag him away from the well and then return to the well.
That's when I noticed that there was a coffin in the well.
The coffin was hung upside down by an iron chain, and at a glance the black gas on the coffin was very strong, and the sound that seemed to have some kind of magical power, under my confirmation, seemed to come from the coffin.
The closer I got, the clearer the sound became, and even with the Golden Light Charm on my body, there was still some impulse in my heart under the sound, and this urge made me want to jump too.
I held back, and tried to pull the chain.
However, what I didn't expect was that I just pulled it gently, and the whole coffin was easily pulled up by me, and the feeling was more like something was being held up from below, and when I pulled, it just happened to be pushed up.
It's just that the moment the coffin hit the ground, it was still like a heavy object hitting the ground, and the dust was shaken up with a "bang", and I subconsciously looked into the well, but this look made my scalp tingle instantly.
Even in the darkness of the night, I could still see that the whole well seemed to be filled with skeletons, and the coffin hanging upside down was pressed against the bones, and at this time there were shadows floating like mist on those bones.
That's a soul.
One by one, I don't know how long I've been here, but I've always been trapped in it.
And the reason why I was able to pull the coffin so easily was because of them.
Sure enough, at this moment I suddenly heard another cry of pain, which came from the well, as if pleading.
They are begging me, begging me to help them leave.
I couldn't help but gasp.
How many people would have to die to fill a well?
And if nothing else, they should have been dead for a long time, and they were not killed by Wang Shouyi and Boss Zhang, so doesn't that mean that they may have been killed by the owner of this house?
Before I came, under Liu Shan's inquiry, I already knew that this mansion was built by a person who had been admitted to the famous Tanhua Examination and retired here.
It didn't take long for him to die inexplicably.
Now it seems that he did not die inexplicably, but for some reason...... And this reason may have something to do with what Wang Shouyi said could make them immortals?
I subconsciously looked at the coffin.
Soon a line on the coffin caught my attention.
Those characters are not the handwriting of this era, but I was no stranger to them under the teaching of old madmen, and they are almost the same as the fonts on Tongshen.
"Xu Jiacun Tanhualang Xu Dahai, who wants to live forever in the immortal way, now takes himself as the foundation of ascending to the immortal, sacrifices thousands of flesh and blood, and asks the city god to give him a fairy fate, and he will be resurrected for a hundred years, and he will be an immortal from now on!"
Looking at this paragraph, I didn't know what to say for a while.
From this passage, I can already determine that the person in this coffin should be the owner of this mansion, and he did not die inexplicably, but sent himself into this coffin for the sake of becoming an immortal.
And in this well, if nothing else, there should be thousands of innocent people.
And that's not even the main thing.
The most important thing is the word Chenghuang.
In other words, this Tanhualang named Xu Dahai should have received some guidance from Chenghuang, and then did such things.
It's just that even if you are guided by the city god, why do you still kill a thousand people?
Could this be one of the guidelines of the City God?
My eyelids jumped at the thought of this.
In that Xiawei Village before, in order to get an immortal body, the city god did not hesitate to kill Xu Er's family, and wanted to refine Xu Er's daughter into immortal bones, so as to borrow the corpse to resurrect the soul.
From this it can be seen that the so-called Chenghuang is not what the world thinks, they are not the real 'God', and they do not really want to protect the people.
They can also do some hurtful things for their own selfishness.
This was stated by Li Bowen when he killed the city god of Xiawei Village.
So does it also show that a hundred years ago, the living earth immortal of Fengling Village slaughtered the city god because of what the original Fengling Village city god did?
So does it also mean.
Chenghuang ......
I didn't dare to think about it anymore, because the further I thought about it, the more incredible it became, because it overturned almost everything I had known before, including what the old smoker had said to me.
The city god is pointed, and the village keeper is selected by the city god.
And the duty of the village keeper is to protect the people of a village for the city god.
But after I came out of Niang'er Village, what I experienced seemed to tell me that it was fake, and that Chenghuang was not protecting the people at all.
Their hypocrisy, even cruelty.
It's just that I don't think the old smoker will be unaware of these things.
But the old smoker told me about the city god's order.
So is there any other secret in this?
After taking a deep breath, I calmed down, and then pushed the lid of the coffin open, revealing a white skeleton with a strange red talisman attached to its skull.
Beneath the talisman, I saw a black phantom.
It's a soul.
It was as if it was sealed by that strange red talisman, trapped inside this white bone and unable to leave.
And the seductive call seemed to come from that soul.
He is the soul of the sea that explores the flowers?
I looked at the soul, hesitated, and then reached out and tore off the strange red talisman.
The moment the talisman was torn off by me, the soul rushed out of the bones.
Soon I heard a cry, and the voice was full of reluctance and resentment.
"Chenghuang lied to me......"
It's just that as soon as this voice appeared, the red talisman I held in my hand suddenly broke free from my hand, and then fell directly on the soul.
In an instant, that soul directly turned into mist and dispersed.
And the talisman dissipated.
This moment was just a flash of lightning, and I didn't even have time to react.
I could only vaguely feel that the red talisman seemed to have a power that felt very familiar to me.
The power of the City God!
My eyes narrowed.
At that time it was in Shimoo Village.
The feeling that Chenghuang gave me was very similar to the feeling that this talisman gave me.
