Chapter 34 Soul Rescue, Corpse Cutting, and Body Protection
As he said that, Uncle Ghost lit up the Chenghuang sticker with the whip on it.
Not long after, under my nose, there was a long whip in his hand.
The long whip was black and white, about two meters long. I couldn't tell what material it was made of. It looked very soft, but Uncle Gui waved it gently, and I felt a kind of surprise from inside.
Fear, and the whip has some extremely sharp-looking barbs, and at the end is a skull, which looks extremely weird.
"Is this the soul-suppressing rope?"
I was a little surprised, and at the same time holding my red Chenghuang sticker of the same style, I was also looking forward to it.
Uncle Ghost nodded and said, "Soul-suppressing rope."
"As the name suggests, its function is to calm the soul."
"Once you are injured by it, your soul will be damaged at least, and your soul will be scattered at worst."
"So powerful?" I was a little surprised.
No wonder I felt uncomfortable from the bottom of my heart when this soul-suppressing rope first came out.
Uncle Ghost nodded again and said: "However, this soul-suppressing rope is only useful for lonely ghosts. It will not cause much harm to ordinary people. At most, it will be flesh wounds."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but frown.
Then why do I feel uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?"
As if aware of my mood swings, Uncle Ghost glanced at me.
I quickly shook my head and said: "It's nothing, I'm just a little surprised. After all, I didn't know these things before."
Uncle Ghost didn't have any doubts, but lit up the second chapter of the City God Post again.
Not long after, a black and white sickle appeared in Uncle Ghost's hand.
Almost like the soul-suppressing rope, the scythe also has barbs and a skull at the end, and I also feel uncomfortable on this scythe.
But this time I didn't show it, and Uncle Ghost had already set the third Chenghuang sticker on fire.
The next moment, a piece of black and white linen appeared in Uncle Gui's hands, and Uncle Gui directly put the linen on his body.
To my surprise, this linen didn't make me feel uncomfortable this time.
After the linen was put on, Uncle Ghost continued: "The Corpse Scythe is similar to the Soul Suppressing Rope. The difference is that the Soul Suppressing Rope targets lonely ghosts, while the Corpse Scythe targets the walking dead."
"In other words, zombies."
"As for the City God's protective robe, it is a protective item that every person who is selected by the City God as a village guard can obtain."
"Wearing this protective robe, it will be difficult for the walking dead and ghosts to hurt you."
I nodded, but I also didn't understand.
I looked at Uncle Ghost and asked, "Since we have these three things, when we lift the coffin..."
Before I finished speaking, Uncle Ghost already had a wry smile on his face. He seemed to know what I was going to say, so he explained: "Lifting a coffin is just a way of saying it for us."
"To be precise, it is the impact of the Coffin Suppression on Fengling Village."
"You should have seen those black and white coffins when you came to Fengling Village."
"Those black and white coffins existed a hundred years ago, and the remains inside are the people of Fengling Village a hundred years ago."
"They were sealed in those coffins, which gave rise to countless resentments over the past hundred years, and thus formed an inexplicable connection with the coffins."
"Under this induction, the coffin will often be raised. It can also be said that the coffin town is cleaning Fengling Village."
"Or maybe..."
When Uncle Gui said this, a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes, "The living Earth Immortal is looking for the only remaining person from Fengling Village."
"That's why they are not one of the walking dead."
"But the resentment bone!"
Liu Yunsheng has already said the word "bone of resentment" before.
But after Uncle Gui’s answer, I understood what it meant.
In other words, those corpses were actually controlled by the Suppressing Coffin, or in other words, by the former Fengling Village guard inside the Suppressing Coffin.
This also made me a little more curious.
What was the reason for the village guard that after massacring so many people in Fengling Village, he still refused to let go of the people in Fengling Village until his death?
How much resentment is this?
But I didn't express this question.
After all, Uncle Gui is the current village guard of Fengling Village.
"Neither the soul-suppressing rope nor the corpse-slaying sickle can hurt those resentful bones, and because of the soul-suppressing coffin, they will return to those black and white coffins after each coffin is lifted, until the next time the coffin is lifted."
"But every time a coffin is lifted, there are at most ten resentful bones."
"This is the first time that all the grievances have appeared like this."
Uncle Ghost's eyes were filled with happiness, "If that man from the Liu family hadn't appeared, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to escape death even if we hid in the ancestral hall."
Hearing this, I was also a little puzzled.
Since there is still such a big crisis in Fengling Village, why do Old Man Zhang and the others still have to stay in Fengling Village? Is it possible that the coffin is really so tempting?
At this moment, bursts of footsteps suddenly came from outside.
My eyelids twitched involuntarily, and I immediately went to the door to take a look.
Soon I saw skeletons walking crookedly on the road in the village, and from time to time, one would get into one of the coffins.
"The time has come." Uncle Gui was not surprised by this.
"When all these resentful bones are returned to the coffin, we can set off."
I was a little shocked.
Although Uncle Gui had already said it, Liu Yunsheng had clearly destroyed almost all of these resentment bones this time, and some of them had been broken into pieces. But now it seemed that those resentment bones were still intact.
It's really incredible.
This also makes me more curious about what kind of existence the coffin is.
After telling me again, Uncle Gui continued to pack his things.
I didn't waste any more time and burned the three Chenghuang stickers of the same style as Uncle Gui's.
Soon I had those three things in my hand.
Soul-suppressing Rope, Corpse-Slaying Scythe, and City God's Protector's Cloak
The strange thing is that although my soul-suppressing rope and corpse-slaying scythe look the same as Uncle Ghost's, their colors are completely different.
They are all gray.
And there is a hint of scarlet in it.
Uncle Ghost was also surprised by this, but after looking at it for a long time, he finally attributed it to the different city gods we belong to.
What makes me a little bit lucky is that the soul-suppressing rope and the corpse-slaying sickle didn't make me feel that uncomfortable anymore after I took them in my hands. And after I put the City God's Dharma Protector on my body, I felt even more uncomfortable.
Everyone felt much more at ease.
Although these are also the things of the City God.
But after all, it is a life-saving thing. Although I feel a knot in my heart, I can still accept it.
Soon it was night.
It became quiet outside again.
Uncle Ghost and I had already made preparations and walked out as soon as possible.
But this time Uncle Ghost had the gong he was holding when I first met him.
