March 12.
In the mid-spring month, all things are awakened.
In this cold spring day, the cold wind on the river is as cold as a knife, and the hundreds of thousands of mountains are as depressed as withered tombs.
There is a county on the bank of Yinyi River.
It was a county called Chang.
Jin An exited the cave and woke up. He was surrounded by a dark and narrow space, his body seemed to be stuck, and the surroundings were so quiet that there was no sound.
Jin'an knew that he was still in the coffin, and he immediately pushed open the heavy coffin lid, wanting to tell the old Taoist priest the good news, huh? Unexpectedly, the coffin lid didn't move at all.
Jin An tried to push the coffin lid again, but it still didn't move.
Bang! Bang!
What's going on? What's going on outside?
Jin An tried his best to smash the coffin lid, but it still didn't move. The coldness of the forest hit his scalp, and the coffin lid was sealed from the outside.
boom!
The coffin lid exploded into pieces, and along with the explosion came thick loess pressing down on the coffin.
The moment the coffin lid was smashed, there was strong sunlight outside that dazzled Jin An's eyes. His eyes were blindingly white. It was not night, why was it daytime?
Jin An's eyes were dazzled by the sunlight, and before he could see his surroundings clearly, several frightened screams suddenly sounded around him.
"ah!"
"There's a corpse in the grave!"
"Help!"
Jin An, whose eyes had recovered somewhat, finally saw his surroundings clearly. He saw several men and women running away in panic, crying for their fathers and mothers.
And at his feet were overturned incense candles and paper money used to worship the dead.
But at this time, Jin An had no time to care about those people. He sat up from the coffin with a heavy look. He was not in the house covered with Taoist scriptures painted by the old Taoist. There were small earth bags piled up in the open space around them.
They are all small graves where dead people are buried.
No wonder he had difficulty pushing the coffin lid just now. The white coffin he was lying on when he passed away was actually buried alive!
Jin An looked at the unfamiliar sight in front of him, his eyes confused.
Who can tell me what is going on?
Why is it that when I wake up after walking into the underworld, the whole world is turned upside down? I wake up from the grave. Am I already dead?
And then I came back from the dead?
Jin An stood up from the graveyard in confusion. He looked at a village not far away. It was the layout of Xiba Village that he was familiar with.
And we also saw the familiar embankment of the Einyi River.
But now Xiba Village has become a deserted village where people have left the village.
The houses in the village are dilapidated, with collapsed roofs, broken walls, and overgrown weeds as tall as the people. If it comes at night, this is a veritable ghost village.
Judging from the desolate and dilapidated appearance, no one has lived there for at least ten years.
Hades?
Earthly world?
At this time, all kinds of thoughts came one after another. Jin An had a headache thinking about it, and the confusion in his eyes became more intense. Who can tell me! What is going on!
What about the veteran?
Where's the silly sheep?
Why was it that when I woke up from the underworld, I was transformed into a world of change, things and people had changed, was I really dead?
That sense of loneliness and absurdity that is unfamiliar to the whole world makes Jin Anxin feel uneasy and panicked. Could it be that I haven't withdrawn from the ghost world yet, but I have been targeted by some evil spirit and am still stuck in the ghost world?
Didn’t come out of the wall illusion?
Thinking of this, Jin An's eyes immediately darkened, and then he took out the Liuding Liujia Talisman on his body. At this time, he didn't care about wasting anything, go!
However, the man did not become a burly soul six feet six tall. He was still in the shape of a normal human being. He had indeed returned from the underworld to the earth, and Jin An's thinking had fallen into chaos.
In a state of confusion, Jin An walked out of the coffin.
With the last glimmer of hope, he wanted to go into Xiba Village to look for the missing people.
But at this moment, Jin An stepped on something at his feet. He looked down and saw a bundle of bamboo slips in the coffin at his feet.
In addition to the bamboo slips, there were several other familiar things in the coffin.
A scroll of bamboo slips "The Five Zang Secret Sutra".
"Guang Ping You Shuo Synaesthesia Record" is an ancient book bound with thread.
A letter.
A disc.
There are words on the Taoist plate, Taoist of the five internal organs, Taoist temple master of the five internal organs.
Jin An looked at the words on the Taoist disc, and his confused thinking became slightly clearer. He put away everything in the coffin, and then walked toward Xiba Village in confused silence with his back alone.
…
Jin An walked into the abandoned Xiba Village and looked at the familiar layout of the village, but now it was empty.
The lively village last night has turned into a desolate and deserted village overgrown with weeds. It is a veritable ghost village.
Is this ten years of Huang Liang’s dream?
Or is a person resurrected from the dead in a coffin ten years later?
Jin An used the knife in his hand to clear the tall weeds in the yard, then covered his mouth and nose with his hands and walked into the dusty house.
There was a thick layer of dust on the floor of the house, indicating that no one had been here for a long time.
There is no black coffin in the main hall of the house.
There is no white coffin either.
This is just the main hall furnished in an ordinary people's home.
Next, Jin An silently walked through every corner of the house. The window sills, tables, and all the furniture in the house were covered with a thick layer of dust. There were also many vines growing on the walls, which were covered with dust, except for the old Taoist priest.
Those Taoist scriptures painted all over the walls.
Unwilling to give up, Jin An walked through all the empty houses in Xiba Village. Not a single house had a cinnabar scripture painted on the wall, which directly ruled out the possibility that Jin An had remembered the wrong address.
Unknowingly...
Jin An walked to the river embankment...
Due to the long disrepair of the river embankment and lack of long-term management by the government, most of it has collapsed due to floods over the years. The river embankment is covered with sediment and has lush weeds and trees.
Whoop, whoop, whoop——
The wind by the river was so strong that it made Jin An's cheeks hurt.
Jin An silently circulated the Black Mountain Kung Qi in his body to resist the cold wind by the river.
"Black Mountain Kung Fu", "Blood Sword Sutra", "Sixty-Road Monument Opening Hands", "Secret Sutra of the Five Internal Organs", the Jianghu martial arts cultivation and the Taoist mental method cultivation are all still there.
The Tiger Evil Sword, the Liuding Liujia Talisman, the Five Thunder Evil Killing Talisman, and several other items that were sealed by the Yin De Edict are all still there.
This shows that what happened to him in the past month or so was real and not a dream.
"So what's the problem?"
"The Six Ding Liujia Talisman and the Five Thunder Evil Killing Talisman are real, so the old Taoist priest is also a real person, so where are the old Taoist priest and Shayang now? Why don't they leave before I wake up from the white coffin?
Already?"
"The Tongxin Golden Lock also exists and is really worn on my body, so the murderous corpse in the white coffin also exists... I wonder if I am now imitating Du Shiniang and jumping into the river angrily while holding the Tongxin Golden Lock. The murderous corpse in the white coffin
Will the Lord really save me?"
Jin An stood on the river embankment covered with loess and overgrown with weeds, looking at the turbulent Yinyi River under his feet. Jin An took a step and silently retracted it.
To be continued...
