Chapter 52: The Living Coffin
"So the hanged ghost is actually a ghost controlled by you?"
The Faceless nodded.
"Where did you get the key to his room?"
Li Daoxuan remembered that the ghost in shroud said that the Yishen house where they were before was the place where the hanging ghost lived or was imprisoned.
The faceless man was afraid that he would be slow to speak and be stabbed again, so he hurriedly said:
"I don't know, when I came out, I saw the key stuck in the door, I didn't understand, I just used the key to open the door, and then the upside-down hangman listened to me."
"So you don't know exactly where the key will be?"
Fang Jie asked.
"I've basically gone through all the inns, and I haven't found the key." The Faceless Man sighed.
Li Daoxuan believed this, if this faceless man really had another key.
It won't be so easy to get caught by yourself.
After all, having a key means being able to control other ghosts...... The premise is that the Faceless Man is telling the truth.
Li Daoxuan pulled out the pig-killing knife from the faceless man, got up and said, "One last question for you." ”
"You, you ask."
The faceless man said cooperatively, in front of Li Daoxuan, it had been beaten and had lost its temper at all.
Because, the person in front of him is really a reckless man.
And reckless, there is no curve to speak of.
"Where's the woman who followed you?"
"Women?" There was confusion in the faceless man's tone, "Where is the woman next to me?" It's just me and the hanged man here. ”
When Fang Jie heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Li Daoxuan.
The two glanced at each other, and they both saw that something was wrong in each other's eyes.
"Think again."
Fang Jie asked tentatively.
"I really don't know, you mean, I've always been with a woman? Is she a human or a ghost...... No, if that's the case, then she's definitely a ghost! ”
The faceless man was a little panicked.
Fang Jie looked at Li Daoxuan and shook his head slowly.
"It's not like lying...... Brother Li, do you know something? ”
"Well, Zhu Jinglun was taken away by Zhu Xiaotang, I don't know what the situation is for the time being, and now it seems that most of the faceless people have also been deceived by her."
"And now?"
When Fang Jie asked, he looked at the faceless man again.
The latter hurriedly said: "Don't, let me live, I promise to listen to you in the future." ”
Li Daoxuan looked down at the faceless man who was tied up with hemp rope, without the slightest hesitation, holding the pig-killing knife in both hands, and stabbed it directly.
Nail the Faceless's head to the wooden floor.
The evil changed, and finally the faceless man under Li Daoxuan's knife had turned into a face...... A human face with no facial features, a complete piece, no, to be precise, a piece of human skin.
It's just that the outline of a person's face can be roughly seen from the outside.
The rest was a small pile, about twenty pieces of incense.
It's no wonder that it can be so extravagant, Li Daoxuan took out the shroud ghost and wrapped the human skin, and wrapped the incense with a lotus.
Seeing his appearance, Li Daoxuan did not hesitate, and directly took out the shroud ghost and wrapped it.
"Brother Li, this ghost...... Can't believe it at all? ”
Li Daoxuan looked at him with a smile.
"Ghosts can't be trusted, especially the more intelligent the ghosts, the more they can't be trusted."
The faceless man just now, I'm afraid that he knows the current affairs better than most people, and when he saw that he was invincible, he immediately begged for mercy.
Fang nodded, and he wrote down this matter thoroughly.
"Brother Li, how did you find out that it was a ghost and not a real innkeeper?"
This was what he was puzzled about, because in Fang Jie's opinion, no matter from any angle, he couldn't be sure that it would be the ghost in this ghost inn.
Because the panel gave me hints...... Li Daoxuan replied in his heart.
"Look more, think more, in fact, most of the ghosts are traceable, for example, this faceless man, you haven't found it, it has always been afraid of us?"
"Scared?"
As Li Daoxuan spoke, he had already walked out of the room, "If it is really the shopkeeper of this inn, holding such a terrifying ghost inn, it is necessary to trade with me, an eighth-rate grain eater, and it is necessary to call us into this ghost inn?" ”
"That's one of them." While the two were talking, they also walked downstairs.
"The second word...... I'm a little more familiar with the aura of ghosts than you, and I can see some of it in it, although it's not much, but it's enough to support me to do it. ”
Fang Jie silently wrote down what Li Daoxuan said, followed him, and came all the way to the inn kitchen.
Li Daoxuan did not rush in, but stood at the door and looked inside.
[When you are staring at the ghost inn, the ghost inn is also staring at you, you have captured the key, I hope you can gain something, your survival point +4 (green).] 】
The panel gave an affirmative reply.
So the problem does come from this kitchen.
Li Daoxuan weighed the pig-killing knife and walked in, although there was a fire in the firewood stove, but for some reason, there was not much light.
Except for a little light in the stove, the rest of the place is still dim.
There were coffins burning on the stove, broken bottles and jars on the closet, and nothing else in the kitchen.
Issue...... It must have come from the coffin.
Li Daoxuan went straight to the side, and the pig-killing knife was pressed against the coffin lid.
The coffin didn't stand up, didn't speak suddenly, and didn't react otherwise.
Very well, at least the coffin...... Not alive.
"Brother Li...... It's like a coffin for the living. Fang Jie stood behind the coffin and said with a smile.
Just looking at his smile again, it looks weird.
"How?"
Li Daoxuan came to his side and looked, only to see that the side behind the coffin was empty, and people could sleep directly in it.
And the bottom of the coffin is very thick, and there is a depression in the middle where a person is lying.
"This is a living coffin, when I was a temple blessing, I heard some old people mention it, I don't know what the customs are."
"It is said that when people are old, they should sleep in the coffin, so that they can deceive the ghosts who hook the soul, and they can also prolong their lives and avoid many disasters."
"The shape of the coffin of the living is like this, everything looks normal on the surface, but the back is empty, and there is a special place for people to sleep."
Fang Jie said, stretching out his hand and pointing inside.
Li Daoxuan's empty left hand directly touched the coffin board.
Fang Jie subconsciously wanted to stop it, but it can be seen that Li Daoxuan didn't have anything to do, so he didn't talk much.
[Tomb of the living, grave of the dead, you found a coffin for the living, maybe you can lie in it and try it, maybe you can have a bit of a windfall, or a good ...... or bad, you have +8 survival points (green). 】
Li Daoxuan added qi and blood to his backhand, and after a little hesitation, he said to Fang Jie: "You are guarding outside, I'll go in and take a look." ”
"Go in? Where to? ”
"Coffin."
After Li Daoxuan finished speaking, he put away the knife, took a step back and jumped forward, and with his extraordinary body control, he directly turned his body sideways in mid-air.
"Bang-"
Li Daoxuan lay down in the ...... Coffin.
