The paper money the old woman gave me was a little different from the ones I burned in Niang'er Village before. It felt cold to the touch, and the texture was also a little different. It didn't look like paper.
Not only that, after I threw the paper money into the fire, the fire made a sizzling sound, and the fire became extremely strong.
This situation is the same for Uncle Ghost and Old Drunkard.
But they didn't seem to feel any difference.
But soon I still felt something was wrong.
Because the ghost uncle and the old drunkard kneeling next to me suddenly became very quiet, and their movements of burning paper money became surprisingly consistent, just like puppets, every step was very synchronized.
I couldn't help but frown.
Just about to speak.
But suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and was startled.
I didn't know when the old woman was standing behind me. She put her hands on my shoulders and was looking at me with a grin. Her pair of white eyes looked at me, which made me instantly scalp.
numb.
"what are you doing?"
I looked at her with some fear.
The old woman smiled and said lightly: "You have the aura of a city god, so you should be a village guard, but there are no traces of divine punishment. Who are you, old madman?"
I froze for a moment.
I didn't expect anyone to mention the old madman here.
But I didn't rush to answer, but looked at her.
"what are you saying?"
The old woman didn't care, she just glanced at Uncle Gui and the old drunkard who were still burning paper money and said, "The old madman also came here back then."
"I met him once."
"You and he make me feel very similar."
I fell silent.
The old woman continued: "You don't have to be too nervous."
"Of these two people, one is the village guard of Fenling Village, but the city god has been dead for many years. Although he is the village guard, his soul has not been taken away by the city god."
"another……"
The old woman's eyes fell on the old drunkard, and she laughed, but did not continue.
"If my guess is correct, old lady, you should all be here for the coffin, right?"
This time I didn't deny it.
She had already said this, and it was obvious that she knew more than that. In this case, it would be meaningless for me to deny it.
I nodded and said, "I am indeed here to hold the coffin."
"Someone told us that in order to find the coffin, we must first find the Earthly Immortal Sword and the Soul-inducing Bead, and the Earthly Immortal Sword is in the City God's Temple."
A flash of surprise flashed in the old woman's eyes.
"The Earth Immortal Sword is indeed in the City God's Temple."
"But if you want to get it, you will have a narrow escape."
"It's just you..."
The old woman shook her head.
"It's better to go back as soon as possible."
I shook my head and said: "I know it's difficult, but since you can see that I am a village guard and see the difference in me, you should know that the coffin control is very important to me."
"So I will get the Earth Immortal Sword no matter what."
The old woman looked at me and said, "Why don't you let the old madman come in person?"
"He came in person, the Earth Immortal Sword is just something in his bag."
I smiled bitterly and said, "The old madman was gone ten years ago."
"died?"
I nodded.
The old woman fell silent immediately.
It took her a while before she laughed.
But there seemed to be an inexplicable emotion in the laughter.
complex.
Still sad.
I can't tell the difference.
But I can feel that she and the old madman should be more than just acquaintances.
But I didn't ask any more questions.
After a moment she sighed slightly.
"It's better to leave."
She turned her back and didn't look at me again. Instead, she walked towards the tombstone with the word "City God" engraved on it. She put her hand on the tombstone and waved to me.
"Go ahead."
"But remember, after entering the City God's Temple, no matter who you meet, you can't trust them."
I nodded doubtfully and looked at Uncle Ghost and the old smoker who were still burning paper.
When I talked to the old woman, neither of them responded at all.
As if she knew what I was thinking, the old woman spoke again.
Only this time her voice became a little colder.
"The two of them have to wait."
"Don't worry, they won't die."
I hesitated for a moment, but in the end I didn't choose to ask more questions.
This old woman gave me a very dangerous feeling, even if she mentioned the old madman, even if she acted kindly to me.
However, I could indeed feel that she had no intention of harming Uncle Ghost and the old drunkard. After thinking about it again and again, I quickly walked towards the City God's Temple.
Soon I arrived in front of the Chenghuang Temple.
The Chenghuang Temple is very dilapidated, and at first glance, most of the bricks and tiles outside have fallen off. It must be that no one has repaired or cleaned it for a long time.
At the main entrance of the temple, I once again saw the familiar black and white coffin.
And more than one bite.
Those black and white coffins extended all the way along the main entrance into the City God's Temple, and seemed to fill the entire City God's Temple.
I took a breath looking at it.
If all the black and white coffins in Fenling Village are filled with people from Fenling Village, then who are the people in these coffins here?
I remember Uncle Ghost said that those who went to Ghost Mountain to look for coffins all died on Ghost Mountain. It is also for this reason that Ghost Mountain has become so dangerous.
But Uncle Ghost never said that there are still these things in the City God's Temple.
And if the people lying in these black and white coffins are also those who came to look for the coffins, who did they put in them?
After hesitating for a while, I decided to go in and take a look.
After all, we have already arrived here, and it is impossible to retreat before the battle.
But as soon as I stepped into the Chenghuang Temple, I suddenly saw a figure inside the temple. The figure was leaning in front of a coffin. It looked very servile in the night.
I was startled, and subconsciously took out the soul-suppressing rope and corpse-slaying sickle.
At this time, the figure stood up straight.
I suddenly felt something familiar.
And he seemed to have seen me and walked towards me quickly.
My heart suddenly lifted, and I prayed that this figure was not the kind of resentful figure that appeared after lifting the coffin in Fengling Village.
However, I was soon dumbfounded.
"Uncle Ghost?"
I rubbed my eyes in disbelief.
Uncle Ghost came to me very quickly, and when he saw it was me, he was obviously relieved.
"where did you go?"
"I……"
I'm a little confused.
Aren't Uncle Ghost and the old drunkard left behind by that old woman? How could they have arrived here earlier than me?
I subconsciously took a step back, stared at Uncle Ghost and said, "Who are you?"
Seeing my reaction, Uncle Ghost frowned immediately.
"Did you see something?"
"We got separated not long after we went up the mountain..."
"Impossible!" I shook my head and stared at him: "Uncle Gui has always been with me, and there is also an old drunkard."
