The incense seemed to have been extinguished by that hand.
I took a deep breath and walked over.
After waiting for a while, the hand did not return to its original position, as if it was supposed to be there. I felt uneasy, but I bit my finger again and dripped the blood on the incense burner.
Not long after, two incense sticks slowly burned on the incense burner.
Seeing this, I relaxed a little.
I thought that maybe this hand itself was used to extinguish the incense, otherwise the three incense sticks would not be half as old as now, so I comforted myself.
The statue behind the altar also spoke again at this time.
"Burn two incense to open the evil-suppressing coffin!"
At the same time, I heard a creaking sound coming from outside the hall, as if a door suddenly opened.
I quickly walked out, and at a glance I saw that the door of the originally closed hall had been opened, and the darkness inside had also become brighter, as if there were candles shining.
I subconsciously thought that Uncle Ghost could be saved.
At the same time, I also realized that the so-called evil-suppressing coffin should be the black coffin.
And the reason why Uncle Ghost and I were sealed inside one after another was probably because we opened the coffin incorrectly.
As long as two incense sticks are lit, there may be no problem in opening the black coffin.
But at the same time, I also had some doubts.
The guy pretending to be Uncle Ghost obviously knows much more about the City God's Temple than I do. Doesn't he know this?
With doubts, I soon returned to the main hall.
But I didn't rush to open the lid of the black coffin. Instead, I looked around first.
Because although I guessed that this black coffin was the evil-suppressing coffin, that was just my own guess. If I guessed wrong, I might be in danger myself even if I rescued Uncle Ghost.
After searching for a while, I didn't see a second coffin in the hall, so I felt a little relieved. Then I turned my attention to the statue of the City God and made sure that it had not changed in any way.
Came to the black coffin.
Soon I pushed the black coffin away.
But looking at the scene inside the black coffin, I was dumbfounded again.
There is no ghost uncle in there.
At first glance, I didn't even see a human figure. There was only a piece of yellow paper in the coffin, with a little man drawn on it.
City God post?
I was a little surprised.
Why is there a Chenghuang sticker here?
Where did Uncle Ghost go?
Is it possible that Uncle Ghost was transformed by this city god?
I just felt a chill on my back.
I can be absolutely sure that this Chenghuang sticker did not exist before, and as far as I know, the yellow Chenghuang sticker belongs to Uncle Gui.
I think this is ridiculous again.
I have seen the people transformed by Chenghuang Tie more than once. Except for that woman, most of them are like puppets, and there is still a big difference between them and real people.
Is it possible that Uncle Ghost is not locked in this black coffin?
Before he was imprisoned, he replaced himself with a different person named Cheng Huang Tie?
As soon as I thought of this, I rejected it again.
In my impression, every Chenghuang sticker is disposable and will turn into ashes after use.
So this Chenghuang sticker has never been used.
Unless there are other uses of Chenghuang Tie that I don’t know about.
Except for this.
That is, there are some secrets in this hall that I have not discovered.
But I looked around and still didn't see anything.
However, nothing happened to the statue in the main hall and the black coffin from beginning to end, which also made me confirm that the black coffin should be the evil-suppressing coffin.
That means my guess is correct.
It's just that it's correct. This time, except for the unexpected disappearance of Uncle Ghost, I didn't get any clues to light the third incense stick, only the Cheng Huang sticker.
It can't be that this Chenghuang sticker is a condition for lighting the third incense, right?
I thought about it and felt a little disappointed.
But I still decided to give it a try.
After all, I didn't find anything else except this Chenghuang post.
I didn't hesitate any longer and went directly to the Second Hall.
But standing in front of the incense burner, I had some difficulties.
How to do it?
Burned?
I looked at the Chenghuang post, and then looked at the incense burner. After thinking for a moment, I followed the old rules and dripped blood on the incense burner. But there was no doubt that this time there was no movement on the incense burner, even the ones I had lit.
Burn those two incense sticks again.
Is it possible that it dripped on this city god sticker?
I thought for a moment and poured some blood on it again.
However, there was still no response.
This immediately made me feel a little upset. There were no reactions or clues. It was all about guessing. I really didn’t know how to guess.
You can't burn this Chenghuang post, right?
Thinking of this, I subconsciously set my sights on the Chenghuang Poster. I have tried all the methods, but it seems that this is the only one I haven't done yet.
After hesitating for a while, I took out the fire folder, thinking that there was nothing else I could do, so I just put the yellow Chenghuang sticker on the fire folder and started burning it.
In an instant, the yellow Chenghuang sticker turned into ashes.
However, there was still no response.
I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Looking at the ashes on the ground, I suddenly became a little irritable.
This Chenghuang sticker is my only clue at the moment, and now there is no clue.
However, at this moment, the remains sitting on the futon suddenly moved.
Its hand on the incense burner finally withdrew in front of me.
Not only that, a layer of flesh and blood began to appear on the remains, and that layer of flesh and blood covered the body of the skeleton at a speed that was visible to my naked eyes.
In a matter of moments, the skeleton transformed into a human being of flesh and blood.
And this person looks very familiar to me.
She was clearly the old woman I met when I went up the mountain.
I was shocked.
He sat down directly on the ground.
This scene had a greater impact on me than when I saw Zhuang Yue come back from the dead in Niang'er Village.
However, I soon discovered something was wrong.
Although the skeleton has changed into the appearance of the old woman and looks like flesh and blood, if you look closely, you can clearly see that there is still the appearance of a white skeleton under the flesh and blood.
Gives people an illusory feeling.
"Fake?"
I stood up from the ground and was about to go over and take a look.
At this moment, she suddenly stood up from the futon.
But she didn't seem to see me, but bowed three times to the incense burner on the altar table.
After praying, she sat on the futon again, only this time she also took the incense burner in her hand.
And after she took the incense burner into her hand, all the incense that I had tried and failed to relight actually ignited.
And as the three incense sticks were lit, a voice came from the statue behind the offering table again.
"With three incense burning, you can enter the City God's Hall!"
