I couldn't help being slightly stunned. I was about to reach out and break free, but then I remembered that I was back as Hu Jiu.
From a character point of view, I am his son Hu Tiangang, his biological son!
Damn it, why did you run into him when you first arrived?
Do I still need to call him daddy?
Fortunately, Hu Tiangang spoke first.
He lowered his voice and asked, "How are things going?"
I didn't know what he was asking about, but I could probably guess that it must have something to do with the Panlong Coffin, so I quickly coughed dryly and nodded lightly.
Hu Tiangang didn't notice anything unusual about me. He breathed a sigh of relief, let go of my hand, and then set his eyes on Zhong Lan.
"who is she?"
I was about to say that I was a friend, but Zhong Lan suddenly took my arm and said with a shy look: "I am her girlfriend!"
I suddenly trembled all over and wanted to kick her out. This woman is so fucked up.
But the level of her acting is definitely 10 steps ahead of me.
Hu Tiangang glared at me fiercely, "It doesn't matter what time it is, it's still happening outside."
Seeing that I didn't speak, he said again:
"Now that you're here, let's go burn incense!"
I nodded, pulled my hand out of Zhong Lan's double envelope, turned around and walked to the coffin.
I lit a few incense sticks and was just about to insert them into the incense burner when I suddenly stopped and stared at the Panlong coffin in front of me.
At this moment, I didn’t know if it was some misunderstanding, but I always felt that something was not right about this coffin!
After a person dies, three souls return to heaven and seven souls enter the earth. The three souls and seven souls go to their own places. Only a body is left in the world. At this time, the body of the deceased will emit a special smell.
It was a very unpleasant sour smell!
From a scientific point of view, it is the smell emitted when protein decays, but from a metaphysical point of view, this is called corpse qi.
Moreover, this smell has strong adhesion and can linger indoors for a long time if the ventilation is not good.
Although it will change under the influence of temperature, it will never disappear at this temperature.
But at this moment, I didn't smell anything.
This is based on the fact that the little thing feeds me back and my sense of smell has greatly improved, which is a bit unjustifiable.
In this case, there is only one explanation.
Unless there is no body in the coffin at all.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a little startled in my heart. I quickly opened my eyes quietly and looked towards the coffin.
However, I couldn't help but be stunned again when I saw it. What was abnormal was that I actually saw the life force overflowing from the coffin!
And it has a very strong smell of death!
This is undoubtedly a contradiction.
how so?
There is no corpse energy, but there is death energy!
I have never encountered such a situation before, and I couldn't help but be a little stunned for a while.
But one thing I know for sure is that the person lying in the coffin is definitely not Mr. Hu. The Hu family is definitely up to something.
Thinking of this, an unknown anger suddenly arose in my heart.
This dragon coffin belongs to our Zhang family, and it was specially made for Mr. Hu.
They actually made up their mind on this. After all, it was a father-son relationship.
I silently put the incense in my hand into the incense burner, then quickly walked to the coffin, stretched out my hand and put it on the coffin lid, and tried to open the coffin with a little force to take a look.
But at this moment, I suddenly stopped.
Because I suddenly felt that I was enveloped by an extremely strong crisis, as if I was being stared at by the eyes of death.
At this moment, I suddenly felt in my heart that as long as I dared to lift the lid of the coffin, I would immediately encounter a fatal crisis.
My hand stopped in place, and I couldn't see anything abnormal on the surface. In fact, I had begun to observe secretly, trying to see where this sense of crisis came from.
After just a few seconds, I withdrew my hand.
Because I didn't find the source of the danger.
According to my original plan, I was going to kowtow to Mr. Hu a few times, but I couldn't do that at this moment.
Then I quietly retreated to the side and began to look at the crowd intentionally or unintentionally.
Most of the people who came to pay their respects were ordinary people, and I didn't notice anything unusual.
Zhong Lan's voice suddenly came to my ears.
"Did you just want to open the coffin?"
I looked at her and said nothing.
"Why did you stop again?"
"Does this have anything to do with you?" I replied lukewarmly, not in the mood to talk to him at all.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Lan did not confront me this time. Instead, she lowered her voice and said:
"I also feel that there is something wrong inside this coffin!"
I turned my head and looked at her in surprise, and asked tentatively: "Why did you see her?"
Zhong Lan moved closer to me and lowered her voice again.
"You will know when you look at your feet!"
I was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked towards the ground.
The ground beneath my feet was smooth and there was nothing unusual about it.
But when my eyes fell on the altar table under the incense burner, I immediately noticed something strange.
The altar table under the incense burner was covered with a piece of black cloth, which hung down to the ground. This was nothing special at first, but under the black cloth, I found an inconspicuous bulge.
Something has revealed the tip of the iceberg.
I cheered up instantly.
It's black, somewhat like an animal's claws, and somewhat like a toe bone.
But this obviously didn't belong to any animal, because I quickly figured out that it should be a black stone.
"What?" I asked in a low voice.
"I don't know either, look at both sides again!" Zhong Lan whispered.
I quickly turned around, and sure enough I found similar traces on both sides of the memorial shed, in inconspicuous corners.
Although it was covered tightly with black cloth, you could still tell what kind of carving it should be?
I couldn't help but narrow my eyes slightly, and then quietly retreated to the side of the funeral shed.
My eyes swept over the faces of the Hu family. They didn't seem to notice anything unusual about me. The women were busy crying and Hu Tiangang was busy expressing gratitude to the guests who came to mourn. No one paid attention to me.
on the body.
I picked up a stack of yellow paper from the side and threw it into the brazier next to me with a calm expression. I moved my body to the side without leaving a trace, then stretched out my hand and lifted up the black cloth.
Just as I guessed, what was covered under the black cloth was indeed a statue, a black statue.
This statue is about the size of a domestic cat, lying on all fours, with a black body, strange horns on its head, and a big mouth open, giving it a ferocious look.
My face turned extremely ugly in an instant, and a haze flashed in my eyes.
At the same time, a memory appeared in my mind.
That was the first time I came to Hu’s house.
I still remember that the last time I came with Hu Xue, I was attracted by the sound of a dog barking, and then I arrived at the entrance of Hu Tiangang’s courtyard.
At that time, I took a quick glance and saw a black statue, but it was quickly covered with cloth, so I couldn't see it clearly.
But when I saw the statue in front of me at this moment, I instantly recalled, isn't this the same statue from before?
At this time, Zhong Lan had also come closer, glanced secretly and asked in a low voice: "What is this?"
I suppressed my mood and softly uttered two words.
