When I saw this scene, I immediately thought of that ice crystal skeleton.
And as those zombie-like 'people' walked towards Uncle Gui's house, the black mist like mountain fire finally began to dissipate, and as the black mist completely dissipated, it actually gave me a feeling of surviving a disaster.
.
But I was not in a hurry to enter the village because it was not the time yet.
Although Uncle Ghost said that I could enter the village after the mountain fire dissipated, there was no movement from those grievances from beginning to end, which made me feel unsure and I didn't want to take this risk.
I plan to wait another day.
However, at night, four or five firelights lit up, and from a distance, the positions of those firelights seemed to be those rooms in my impression.
My heart immediately became excited, and I gave up the idea of waiting any longer. I packed up my things and walked quickly into Fenling Village.
But when I entered Fengling Village again, the familiar feeling was gone.
That abnormal cold seemed to never exist.
Apart from being as quiet as ever, Fenling Village at this moment looks like an ordinary village.
Soon I arrived in front of the first house.
The lid of the black and white coffin in front of the house is still open, but there are no remains inside.
I continued walking inside, and without any surprise, every black and white coffin was opened, and there were no remains inside. Even every coffin looked clean and as good as new.
This makes me feel something is wrong.
But I can't tell.
Until I arrived at Uncle Gui’s house.
Standing outside the house, it was very quiet inside. I could only vaguely feel that someone was inside. I didn't knock on the door, but opened the door and walked in. However, the next moment I was stunned.
"Uncle Ghost?"
Uncle Ghost was also a little surprised when he saw me.
"Who are you?"
The confusion in his eyes didn't seem fake, as if he really didn't know me. I couldn't help but look up and down at Uncle Ghost, but I couldn't see what was wrong.
He is indeed Uncle Ghost.
But he doesn't know me.
Just as I was about to speak, footsteps suddenly came from outside the house. I turned around and took a step back subconsciously.
Old drunkard?
The old drunkard glanced at me and said coldly: "Why are you here?"
As he spoke, he frowned and looked at Uncle Ghost.
"Ghost boy, this boy is here to find the coffin."
"Why are you here?"
Upon hearing the coffin, Uncle Ghost's face changed obviously, and the surprise in his eyes instantly turned into indifference, "You are not welcome here."
I remained silent and didn't speak.
It's all very real.
It was so real that I was a little confused for a while. What happened to my previous experience?
Seeing that I didn't speak, the old drunkard said coldly again: "Boy."
"It's still early, you'd better get out of here."
"Don't know how you died by then."
I was silent for a while and then I looked at them and said, "Don't you think you are looking for a coffin?"
Hearing my words, Uncle Ghost and Old Drunkard looked at each other again, and Old Drunkard even pushed me out of the door.
"Do you want to kill us?"
I stood blankly at the door of Uncle Ghost's house, looking at the closed door. I felt a little confused for a moment, and at this time, I felt an inexplicable fear in my heart.
"Are you from Niang'er Village?"
At this time, an old voice came.
I turned around and a strange figure appeared in front of me.
It's an old man.
The old man looked to be in his seventies or eighties, with gray hair and a pair of eyes tightly closed, with a clearly visible scratch on them.
I have never seen him before, but I don't know why, but when he stood in front of me, I felt an inexplicable familiarity, as if I had seen him before somewhere.
Looking at him, I subconsciously asked: "Who are you?"
He said calmly: "You can call me Uncle Huang."
"The old smoker asked you to come, but he didn't tell you who to look for?"
I was stunned for a moment and subconsciously glanced at Uncle Ghost's house.
"Are you the one the old smoker said would pick me up?"
I asked after being silent for a while.
Uncle Huang nodded slightly, then looked around with a solemn expression.
"It's getting late."
"Give it to me first."
Looking at his back, I felt even more confused. This scene was just like when I first came to Fenglung Village with you, but the difference was that the person who responded to me was no longer Uncle Ghost.
But the old man in front of me.
Was the previous one a dream?
I asked myself.
But when I saw the Earth Immortal Sword in my hand, I denied this idea. If what happened before was a dream, then why was the Earth Immortal Sword in my hand?
But if it wasn’t a dream before.
What does it matter now?
While I was thinking about it, I followed Uncle Huang. Soon I followed him to the outside of the ancestral hall in Fenling Village. Uncle Huang also stopped at this time.
"You can rest here tonight."
"Tomorrow I will take you to find the coffin."
"Do you know where the coffin is?" I looked at Uncle Huang.
Huang Bo said calmly: "The coffin is in the Chenghuang Temple."
I asked: "Then why were they so scared when they heard me talking about the coffin?"
At the same time, my eyes were always looking at Uncle Huang.
Uncle Huang sighed and said: "Buried inside the coffin is a living immortal from a hundred years ago. The living immortal had too much killing karma during his lifetime, which led to overwhelming resentment after his death, because everyone who came close to the coffin would be affected.
So it’s either death or disability.”
"They all survived by chance, so naturally they are afraid."
"Then you're not afraid?" I asked again.
Uncle Huang shook his head and said: "If anyone else comes to lift the coffin, I will naturally let him get away. After all, although I have only been alive for a few years, I don't want to die too miserably."
"But the old smoker once said that you are the guardian of Niang'er Village."
"Niang'er Village is an amazing place."
"Of course your skills are not bad."
I was silent for a while and nodded.
Huang Boze said again: "You can rest here tonight, and I will come find you early tomorrow morning."
"We'll go up the mountain then."
"Okay!" I responded.
When Uncle Huang saw this, he didn't say anything more, turned around and left directly.
I looked at his back for a while before looking back.
Of course I didn't believe what he said.
I just want to see.
Who is he?
Naturally, I couldn't fall asleep that night, and at dawn, Uncle Huang did come as scheduled.
He and I walked straight up the Ghost Mountain without any obstruction.
Different from the first time I went to Ghost Mountain, this time I went to Ghost Mountain very calmly. In addition, I went up the mountain during the day, so I didn’t feel the slightest discomfort.
Although Uncle Huang's eyes were closed tightly because of the scar, he seemed to be very familiar with the ghost mountain. He always walked in front and did not need my help.
At the top of the 100-meter hill, we only walked for about ten minutes this time, and I saw the familiar City God Temple.
Standing outside the Chenghuang Temple, Uncle Huang stopped and looked at me.
"The coffin is in the City God's Temple."
"It's just that if you want to see it, you must first pay homage to the City God."
"But you are the village keeper of Niang'er Village and a member of the City God of Niang'er Village. If you want to enter, you must first give up your identity as the village keeper of Niang'er Village and worship under the seat of the City God of Fenling Village."
"Otherwise, you won't be able to enter, and you won't be able to see the coffin!"
