"There's an imprint on it!"
"I'll do it!" Ye Cheng grabbed Ah San and jumped down first. He used his hands to wipe away the mucus on the board, revealing a strange round body with four limbs and a pair of wings.
Ye Cheng placed the coffin on the altar, made people take out boiling water to wash away the mucus on the coffin, and ordered everyone to not touch the coffin. After that, he let Ah San take a picture, and then gathered fireballs to burn the coffin.
"Pass on my password, this matter cannot be spread out. Anyone who dares to reveal even the slightest bit of this information will be buried along with their own life."
This was the first time Ye Cheng gave an order, and it was clear that the situation was critical.
Ah San took off his clothes and walked forward, covering both of Ye Cheng's hands. When the two of them returned to the big shed, the young Daoist had already slowly woken up.
"Does the Taoist know what kind of background this is?" Ye Cheng handed the photo over to the Taoist and asked, there must have been some kind of secret carved on the coffin, it could be the reason behind the corpse of the mountain.
The young Daoist looked at it and his expression changed. "Where did this come from? Quick, bring me there."
"Dao leader, do not worry. I have already burned that board with my true power, to eliminate any future troubles."
The Taoist nodded, but still insisted that Ye Cheng bring him over.
Without Ye Cheng's permission, no one dared to approach the altar. Standing in front of the stage where the huge coffin was placed, there was a large puddle of water under the ground.
The Taoist calculated with his fingers, twitching a Glyph to shoot towards the lake water. When the Yellow Talisman touched the water surface, it ignited itself, and when looking at the water again, it seemed to turn dark red like blood.
"Is the huge coffin melted by the rain?"
"That's right!" I just don't understand, all the way here in the rain, there were no signs of melting, why is the coffin made of solid wood like this? " Ye Cheng did not understand.
"The Taoist walked around with the compass in his hand. Suddenly, he stood facing the south and pointed to a certain spot." Young Master Tian found him and made him a coffin, but in that direction? "
"Deng Mengxiu nodded his head, that old craftsman was indeed in that direction, he had looked for that person to make the coffin, and had investigated him for three generations of ancestors, and there was nothing wrong with it, why did something happen?" Daoist Tian Yuan, can you tell us what exactly is going on? "
"The imprint inscribed on the pipe board is called 'Primal Chaos', one of the Four Ancient Evils, and the Bai Qi Clan is located to the south. I'm afraid that this matter has something to do with them, please follow me to meet that old craftsman."
Ah San listened silently by the side, the corners of his eyes twitched, his fists were clenched, his eyes bloodshot.
He swept his horsetail whisk towards Ah San's open face, then raised two of his fingers in front of his chest. After chanting an incantation, he pointed two fingers at Ah San's forehead.
Ah San was startled, he stared at the three people in front of him blankly, after a moment, he shook his head and asked: "What happened to me?"
"Old man Yun, the primal chaos is formed by the resentment of your clothes, and those close to you are affected by it. I think you should put that thing in front of your chest down earlier, lest you destroy yourself later."
"Impossible!"
Tian Yuan let out a long sigh. A person with a tough life would never believe in fate, he took out a yellow jade pendant from his descendant and gave it to Ah San. Believe it or not, although I was a brother in my previous life and a stranger after I died, I can't protect your entire body. At the very least, I can protect you from evil. "
Under Ye Cheng's stare, Ah San put on the jade pendant that he received from Daoist Tian Yuan, a spiritual object had a soul, the moment the jade pendant was placed on his heart, Ah San's entire body shivered, as if he was being doused by a spring, he spitted out a mouthful of impure Qi, causing his body to feel much lighter.
Deng Mengxiu drove a JEEP car out, with Tian Yuan seated at the front, holding onto the compass as he pointed to the direction. Ye Cheng and Ah San sat in the back, the four of them maintaining silence, each with their own thoughts.
They sped along the road, passing through three different borders, and arrived at old craftsman's residence.
It would be far-fetched to say that the area where the old craftsman s were residing would belong to South Side. However, it was not suitable for any city to be the location of the coffinmaker.
The moment Tian Yuan said that, he pointed in another direction. He claimed that he was at the northwest corner, which was a place that was completely different from the place where the old craftsman was residing.
Therefore, the troops were split into two as Tian Yuan led Ah San to the northwest corner. Ye Cheng and Deng Mengxiu went to visit them at their residences.
Deng Mengxiu laughed and praised the combination as interesting, Ye Cheng shrugged his shoulders, this was the first time they had met and they had all liked each other, he had specially taken care of Ah San to arrange this. Where did Heaven's Young Master find this expert? His spell was high and his height was even higher. "
At first, I even suspected that he was sent by the three great families, but he still had some ties with the young master Ye.
At most, there would be two. One died in a dugout, and the other was currently in Hong Kong Island, so no one else had come into contact with him.
Deng Mengxiu didn't keep her in suspense and directly revealed her identity as Daoist Priest Tian Yuan. He is the senior brother of Peony. After he was kicked out of the sect by his master, he met with a Dao Immortal who changed his mind and returned to the mortal world after obtaining the legacy of an Immortal.
It was hard to tell if the background was real or fake, and since the other party had revealed the title of peony, he had to be careful to see who was the enemy and who was the friend.
When their eyes met, it was as if they agreed on something.
Deng Mengxiu introduced, there were four members of the old craftsman and no one wanted to make a coffin for the old craftsman, but there were many old ideas in the village, they all believed that after death, only the coffin could cover their bodies and leave the village, but the environment did not allow that, they could only create small coffins to be buried together with the coffin, replacing it.
From the big coffin to the simulated small coffin, this kind of reform made the entire generation of old craftsman worry not even a little. However, the later generations did not want to do this anymore, there was no one capable of making coffins in the entire history of the old craftsman.
old craftsman's family lived in the back of the shop, which was about 20-30 metres away from the shop. From the window at the back of the shop, they could see the courtyard in front of the house.
It was already night by now, and as they passed by the South Side, there was no longer any rain, only rumbling thunder.
The entire town was constructed with extremely standard lamps on both sides of the road. There were even memorial archways at the entrance of the village, and after entering the village, there were also shops and markets, which were quite bustling.
When old craftsman's shop stopped at the village entrance, after walking up a slope, one would see a special house. Two huge red and black pillars were embedded within the white wall, and a black heavy door was tightly shut.
However, beneath such an imposing door was a compound wall that was a mix of mud and bamboo fences. It was hard to describe the feeling of being out of the world when the two were placed together.
"Something's wrong!" Deng Mengxiu stared at the gate and said.
Ye Cheng had already stepped onto the stairs, and then he retreated again. "What do you mean?"
Deng Mengxiu pointed to the lantern above the gate, which was lit under the white cloth.
Ye Cheng pushed the door open, locking it behind him. Unable to open the door, he walked around the wall and peeked inside. There were still people inside, but there were lights on, hence Deng Mengxiu knocked on the door.
After knocking for a while, a young man came out of the tiled room.
Ye Cheng hid behind the wall and saw that he was wearing a white belt around his waist and a hemp wrapped around his waist, as if he was a dead family member.
After the two of them conversed at the door, Deng Mengxiu followed the young man into the tiled room. Ye Cheng waited for a while before he flipped over the wall and entered.
Deng Mengxiu stepped into the tiled room and was startled, there was a black coffin on the guest hall, an old lady was sitting on the floor crying, a young lady was sobbing as she threw some paper money into the brazier, and a portrait of old craftsman was hanging on the wall.
"What's going on?" Deng Mengxiu asked.
The son of the old craftsman told Deng Mengxiu that a few days ago, the old craftsman had been asked by others to go to the neighboring village to pick up jobs. But who knew that not long after he returned, he would create a coffin for himself.
After finding the coffin, the old craftsman disappeared. He searched everywhere and finally, the guests who came to retrieve the goods found the dead old craftsman in the black coffin of the shop.
If not for this customer's curiosity, no one would have thought that old craftsman would die in his coffin.
old craftsman's family of four usually got along well with their neighbors. If they did not pick up goods for sale, they would not leave the village. Now that this had happened, everyone in the village said that old craftsman had done business for the dead for his entire life. The yin qi was too heavy, and his life was short.
After Deng Mengxiu heard it, he comforted her a little. After putting down the bill, he offered incense to the old craftsman.
old craftsman's death was definitely not because of a death in the legends. His death must have something to do with the coffin.
A night owl's cry came from the courtyard as Deng Mengxiu cupped his hands and took his leave.
After meeting up with Ye Cheng outside of the door, the two of them quickly retreated back to the side of the car. Not long after, Taoist Tian Yuan and Ah San also rushed back.
The four of them went to a hotel in the town in front of them.
Dao Friend Tian Yuan and the others found the soul of the old craftsman at the northwest corner. His soul was imprisoned under an old locust tree. Strange, who would do this to an honest businessman?
"It must be related to the huge coffin! old craftsman's son said before, when old craftsman came back from the neighboring village, he began forging a coffin for himself. This means that he knows that his time is running out and he had worked in the business of selling dead people his entire life, so it is understandable that he wanted to prepare a good coffin for him before he died. "
"I'm in the yard heading this way."
Several cigarette butts were carried on paper towels, and Ye Cheng spread them out on the table. From the way people smoke, they should be the same as the people in the houses in Red Star Town Village. "
"I'll take the cigarette butt back to An Ningxuan for him to make a simple copy and hand it over to you guys. At most, one day later, I'll rush back tomorrow night to pick you up." Deng Mengxiu picked up the cigarette butt from the table and stuffed it into his pocket. He quickly left the room and drove to the city center.
That night, the three of them took turns to rest. old craftsman's death was too bizarre, the people in the village were not aware of it, and pretended to be karma.
Thinking about that, Ye Cheng quietly stood up, and just as he walked to the door, he was grabbed by a hand. He turned his head to look. Dao Master Tian Yuan's face was as pale as a ghost, his fingers were also abnormally cold. He was not sure if it was just an illusion, but Ye Cheng felt that this person was not human.
"My body temperature is lower than a normal person's by a few degrees. This is because I'm practising the [Black Ice Art]." As if he had seen through Ye Cheng's suspicions, Daoist Tian Yuan flung his horsetail whisk towards Ah San before opening the door and walking out.
Embarrassment!
Ye Cheng scratched his head, listened to Ah San entering into a deep sleep, and let out a low sound of breathing. Then, he closed the door and followed Daoist Tian Yuan out of the window at the end of the stairs.
