Man Yuanyi took out several sheets of yellow paper, lit them, and threw them directly onto the ice cube. However, to our surprise, the yellow paper burned up, but the ice cube had no reaction at all!
This left us baffled. What was so amazing about ice that even fire had no effect on it?
Ning Changfeng frowned, walked up, bit his finger and let two drops of blood fall on the ice. Immediately, the ice made a "sizzling" sound, just like the sound made by a piece of fresh meat roasted on charcoal. Then we saw that the ice began to melt, revealing a thumb-sized hole.
Seeing this, Ning Changfeng said solemnly, "Right, it seems this is the 'Self-Sealing in Ice and Snow' witchcraft that every Miao fairy must master. It is said that when these Miao fairies are about to die, they will freeze themselves in a coffin and bury themselves where no one can find them. Even if they are found, nothing can pry the ice off their bodies. Only blood relatives can melt the ice with their blood."
I pointed at the corpse's left hand and said, "According to what you said, the corpse's left hand is exposed and not frozen. Could it be that someone has been here before us? And as you said, this person must be related to your Ning family and to this corpse. Otherwise, how could the corpse's left hand not be frozen?"
Man Yuanyi and Ning Xue both nodded in agreement. "Besides my explanation, there's no other way to explain Ning Changfeng's story." And if Ning Changfeng's story is true, then who was the person who entered the tunnel before us, discovered the hanging coffin, and used their blood to melt the ice in the corpse's left hand?
What's certain is that this person must be a descendant of Ge Pulan. The most suspicious individuals are probably Ge Puxiong, Ge Pu Changfeng, and Ge Puxue. Of course, this is just speculation; I don't know how many descendants the Ning family has! Perhaps it's other cousins, like Ning Changfeng's cousin Man Yuanyi.
But considering Man Yuanyi is such a coward, it's impossible.
To see who the corpse belonged to, Ning Changfeng, Ning Xue, and Man Yuanyi simultaneously bit their fingers in a "blood test," dropping their blood onto the ice on the corpse's head. A hissing sound was heard, followed by a puff of smoke, and the ice suddenly melted, revealing the woman's face.
Ge Pu Lan!
There was no doubt that the female corpse was Ning Xue's grandmother Ge Pu Lan, the female ghost in Republican-era clothing who chased us that night.
"Don't worry about whether anyone has been here before us. Our main purpose of coming here is to find the body of our grandmother Ge Pulan and then burn it." Man Yuanyi said with a cold sweat.
Ning Changfeng nodded: "Yuan Yi, I'll leave this matter to you. There is another hanging coffin over there, let's go over there and take a look."
Ning Changfeng walked towards the hanging coffin opposite, and Ning Xue and I followed him. Like the previous coffin, this one also had steps on the wall. After climbing up, we found it was a little different from the previous one. There was no thin layer of frost on the coffin lid, indicating that it hadn't been poisoned by the Ice Snake Gu.
Crack! We easily pried the hanging coffin open, a sinister aura lashing us in the face. A snow-covered arm suddenly thrust upward from the coffin. Just like before, this was a case of "opening the coffin and seeing a ghost." We didn't get scared and run away; we'd been frightened before. This time, we simply took two steps back, then walked back.
Lying in the coffin was the body of a woman dressed in Republican-era clothing, also frozen. The head was covered with the most frost, making it impossible to distinguish her features. Only below the chest, where there was less frost, could one tell whether the woman was a man or a woman.
Ning Changfeng took a look and said, "This body should be Ge Huanxing. She disappeared with your grandmother. They both came to this place and froze themselves in a hanging coffin burial."
Ning Xue nodded, a look of deep suspicion on her pretty face. She said, "There's no sign that Ge Huanxing's body had been moved, but only my grandmother's body had been moved. How strange."
Yes, this is what I can’t figure out either.
“Ahhhh!”
At this moment, Man Yuanyi on the opposite side suddenly screamed. We all looked up and saw that the corpse in the hanging coffin on the opposite side had stood up, revealing a terrible and ferocious face, and rushed towards Man Yuanyi.
At the same time, the body of the woman named Ge Huanxing in the hanging coffin in front of us suddenly jumped out of the coffin, making a ghostly "woooo" sound from her mouth and pounced towards us.
Damn, I was so scared that I pissed my pants. We were so scared that we were scared to death and crawled down quickly.
