The scholar did not look back. He had already come this far and there was no way he could go back.

He has only one purpose at the moment, which is to go to the end of the stairs and see what is at the end. Even if there are bones in front of him, he must go down.

These skeletons must be some years old and very fragile. Once you step on them, you will instantly become a fan. The scholar has no doubt that if he blows gently forward, he may be able to blow all these skeletons into powder.

The further he went, the more bones there were. In the end, they even blocked the way forward, and the scholar had to stop again.

"What exactly is this place? Why are there so many skeletons, and why do the further you go inside, the more human skeletons there are?"

The scholar was full of doubts. Since the way ahead was blocked by skeletons, he had no choice but to adopt other methods. He did not think of damaging these skeletons, but used the wall-penetrating technique to pass through.

These bones are gone.

After about half an hour, the scholar finally came to the end of the stairs. In front of him was a stone chamber. The door of the stone chamber was closed. The scholar came to the door and pushed open the stone door in the simplest and crudest way.

, walked in, there was a sarcophagus in the stone room, the lid of the coffin was open, the scholar hesitated for a moment, but walked forward, ready to see what was in the sarcophagus.

He saw a person lying inside the coffin. This person was wearing gilded brocade clothes. The moment he saw this person's appearance, the scholar was shocked, because this person was not the ghost king in the ancient mansion.

But the man inside the coffin does not have any ghostly aura about him, but is a real person.

The scholar was also very confused. He didn't know what the relationship between the man lying in the sarcophagus and the ghost king in the ancient house was, or whether the ghost king in the ancient house was the person who changed after his death.

The scholar kept staring at the man in the coffin. He did not leave because he felt that the man in the sarcophagus did not really die, he just fell into a deep sleep.

He couldn't explain why, but the scholar just felt that the man in the sarcophagus would wake up soon.

Sure enough, less than half an hour later, the man in the sarcophagus opened his eyes.

He glanced at the scholar, smiled slightly, and then sat up. The scholar then noticed that except for his head, which was exactly the same as that of a normal person, the rest of his body had no flesh and blood. This was almost like a skeleton. Just now

It was not obvious when he was lying in the sarcophagus, but now that he sat up, the outline of his body's bones were already reflected.

"We meet again." The man smiled lightly and greeted the scholar casually.

The scholar frowned and then asked: "What is your relationship with the ghost king in the ancient house above? Is he you?"

The man smiled again and said: "That should be me. I know everything in that ancient house. To me, it seems like it was a dream, but I have never really been in this place.

I have left, and to tell you the truth, I cannot leave this sarcophagus at all. As long as I leave this sarcophagus, I will truly die."

The scholar became even more puzzled: "That is to say, you are lying in this sarcophagus and have been sleeping, and while you are sleeping, you become the ghost king in the ancient house, and you walk around the world as the ghost king. Is that true?

Is that so?"

The man shook his head and said: "No, in that dream, although I could clearly perceive everything around me and know what was happening in this city, I couldn't make any decisions. The Ghost King has his own independence.

His ability to think, what he does is his thoughts have nothing to do with me, I just feel what is happening around me through him."

"Oh, well, when you just greeted me, what did you mean by saying "we meet again"? I can feel that you didn't say this to me as the ghost king, so we met a long time ago

,Have you seen it?”

The man in the sarcophagus stared at the scholar for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and actually smiled: "It seems that you have forgotten some things, but it doesn't matter, you will remember it eventually."

"Is the Ghost King still alive?" the scholar asked.

The man shook his head: "He should be dead, because if he hadn't died, I wouldn't have woken up. After all, to me, what the Ghost King saw and heard was just a dream of mine."

"Where is the purple lightning and why has it disappeared?" the scholar asked again.

"I don't know." the man replied.

The scholar remained silent, but looked at the person in front of him. He wanted to see something from this person's eyes or expression, but unfortunately, he found nothing.

"Since you're here, why don't you go down and take a look. I can feel that this time I wake up, things are a little different. Maybe you can help me this time."

The scholar had no idea what the man was talking about, and his eyes were full of confusion and doubt at this moment.

The man pointed at the bottom of the sarcophagus and said to the scholar: "If you push this sarcophagus away, you can see a passage leading to the underground. You will know what it is when you walk in."

When the scholar heard what this man said, he did not take any action. Instead, he took a step back and kept some distance from the man in the sarcophagus.

"Why should I believe you? There is no memory of you in my mind, so this should be the first time we meet. Since it is the first time we meet, why do you think I can help you? And

The sarcophagus you asked me to push away told me that there is a way to the underground, but your sarcophagus is blocking this way, so can I understand it that way."

"First, there is a very terrifying existence down here. The reason why your sarcophagus blocks this passage is to suppress that terrifying existence."

"Two, because you were seriously injured, you need to trick everyone who comes here. When they push away the sarcophagus and walk underground, your sarcophagus will immediately return to its original position and block the intersection.

Stay, and your sarcophagus is a very powerful magic weapon. Anyone who is tricked by you will never have a chance to come out. If they are trapped for a long time, being here will become the nourishment for you to recover from your injuries.

.”

"Third, similar to my first guess just now, there is a very scary existence down here, and the reason why you blocked this passage is to prevent him from running out of the ground, but you and the scary existence below

Everything has been seriously injured, and you can't take action on each other now, so if I have a chance to go down and find him, I should be able to kill him for you, but why should I help you?"

The man in the sarcophagus kept smiling all the time, and his eyes were always fixed on the scholar, never moving away. After the scholar finished his guess, the man in the sarcophagus spoke again: "I am right.

You don't mean any harm. If I want to attack you, you won't be able to get here. You should have seen a lot of bones on the way here. They can't get here, even if they get to the end of the road.

, you can’t enter this stone chamber. Since you can walk in, it means that only you can handle this matter."

"Push the sarcophagus away and go take a look below. Maybe this time, you can get what you want."

"I will go down, but not now. You must also know what is about to happen in this city. If you have a solution, you can tell me. After I deal with that matter, I will come here again.

"

The scholar didn't want to spend too much time here, mainly because he felt that the person in the sarcophagus was too evil, and he didn't want to continue chatting with this person. Although the person never showed hostility to the scholar from beginning to end, it was because
