"Otherwise, I'll put a talisman in there and check it out..."
"No need," Luo Jiutian lifted the Taoist priest on his back, "We will go directly."
"Wait a minute, Jiutian, please let me down."
"Can you?" Luo Jiutian asked, turning his face sideways.
"I have regained a little strength, but this is really inconvenient."
Luo Jiutian put the Taoist Master down, and the Taoist Master tried his best to support his legs and could barely move slowly.
The Taoist priest looked at his still trembling legs and feet. After a while, he raised his head and said firmly, "Let's go."
The two stepped through the soft soil, stepped on weeds and dead vines, and supported each other until they arrived right in front of the wooden house.
It was dark in the wooden house, the door was closed, and there was no movement inside.
Luo Jiutian glanced at the Taoist Priest.
"otherwise……"
"No, let's go in together," the Taoist priest guessed what Luo Jiutian wanted to say and refused, "After all, it's safer for two people."
"……Oh well."
The two of them moved to the window first.
"Is that a coffin?"
The glass on the window only had fragments on the edges. Through the empty window, the two of them saw the coffin placed in the center of the wooden house at a glance.
"Yes," the Taoist priest stretched out his hand and scratched the window frame, causing thick dust to rise immediately, "and it has been placed here for a long time."
Luo Jiutian frowned and suddenly felt that this matter was not simple.
"Why is there a coffin?"
"Is your Panlongchi inside?"
"That's the problem," Luo Jiutian pointed into the room, "I feel that Panlong Pond is inside that coffin, but look, the dust around the coffin is so thick, no one should have been there."
"No living person has been here," the Taoist priest corrected Luo Jiutian, "In that case, let's go in."
Luo Jiutian carefully opened the wooden door. The connection between the wooden door and the door frame was rusted, making an unpleasant sound.
The choking dust flew up in front of their eyes.
"This... this door is really difficult to open." Luo Jiutian fiddled with the door.
"Just take it off." The Taoist priest suggested.
"Is this okay?"
"Nothing is wrong, just take it off."
The rusted metal joints were already extremely fragile. Luo Jiutian struck three times, and with a bang, the moss-covered wooden door was thrown aside.
Among the billowing dust, the coffin was waiting for them quietly.
The two approached step by step.
Luo Jiutian reached out and pushed on the closed coffin lid. With a creak, the coffin lid moved to the right.
"careful."
"Um."
The coffin lid gradually opened.
The light shines into this corner that has not seen sunlight for a long time.
What's inside comes into view.
The two of them were not surprised.
There is even a feeling of "really so".
"Is he okay?"
"Still alive," Luo Jiutian said lightly, "his breathing is normal."
Lying in the coffin was the unconscious Zhang Boyin. Panlongchi was held in his hands, floating up and down smoothly with his breathing.
The luster flows and the breath remains, it is the Panlong Pond where he lives.
Luo Jiutian stretched out his hand and tested the Panlong Pond with just his fingertips.
"His consciousness is still inside," Luo Jiutian said, "It's okay, okay."
"Can you take it out?" the Taoist priest said while observing the movement around him.
"It seems okay..." Luo Jiutian stretched out his hands and grabbed the edge of Panlong Pond, "But...it's strange, he grabbed it tightly."
"Take out Zhang Boyin together."
Luo Jiutian adopted his opinion, grabbed Zhang Boyin's wrist with his backhand, and lifted it hard.
"Taoist Master!" Luo Jiutian suddenly shouted, "There is something down there!"
The Taoist priest who was guarding the door quickly turned his head to look.
Several white things were exposed under Zhang Boyin.
This was unexpected.
The two looked at each other in surprise.
"It's bones." They said in unison.
"Take Zhang Boyin out first."
Except for holding Panlongchi tightly in his hand, the other parts of Zhang Boyin's body were still obedient. After a while, Luo Jiutian and the Taoist priest worked together to lift him to the ground.
Inside the coffin, there is also a complete human skeleton.
"What is that?" The Taoist priest pointed to the hip of the skeleton.
A piece of dusty green jade pendant fell from between the bones to the pad below.
"There seems to be writing on it."
Luo Jiutian bent down to pick it up, reached out and rubbed it on the blurry surface a few times, and the words on the jade pendant finally emerged.
"lotus."
Single word, lotus.
The two said in unison again, "Prophet!"
"This is the body of the Immortal Prophet," Luo Jiutian looked at the skeleton, "Why is he here?"
"Did Huolian bring it here?" The Taoist priest raised a possibility.
"I don't know," Luo Jiutian thought for a moment and put the lid back on the coffin, "I can't worry about that much anymore. Let's go find other people first...if we can find them."
"That Zhang Boyin..."
"I'll carry him on my back," Luo Jiutian gestured, "Forget it, let's just hold him, otherwise Panlongchi will hurt my back."
After finishing arranging things, the two of them turned their heads together.
Stunned.
That door is back.
Luo Jiutian immediately became alert, "What's going on?"
"I don't know," the Taoist priest stood behind him. "We only looked away for less than a minute."
"Is anyone coming?"
"I didn't feel anyone." The Taoist priest walked to the window and looked out. "There is no one."
Luo Jiutian carried Zhang Boyin to the door, raised his leg and kicked the door.
The door didn't move at all.
"It can't be opened, something is wrong."
"Let's go through the window." The Taoist Master took off his blood-soaked coat and put it on the broken glass by the window. "Jiutian, I'll go out first, and then you hand Zhang Boyin to me."
"Okay, Taoist Master, are you okay?"
"fine."
The Taoist Priest's body was still trembling a little, but his movements were still nimble. He supported the window frame with his hands, raised his long legs, and moved his body outward.
thump!
The Taoist priest fell to the ground of the wooden house in stunned silence, looking up at Luo Jiutian who was also stunned.
"You're obviously out! Your legs are already outside!" he shouted.
"I understand..." The Taoist priest got up from the ground, "It's the same trick as the one he used in the beginning."
"What's the meaning?"
"Fire Lotus can control the space here, just like at the very beginning, she sealed us into the village with a messy timeline." The Taoist priest stretched his right hand out of the window frame, and the sunlight outside the window shone from the front.
But it didn't leave any shadow on the wall behind. "This time, she sealed us into this house."
