Jiang Li observed for a while and soon realized his current situation.

A closed wooden box.

It's just stuffed into the coffin, I'm familiar with this.

Hey, he also changed the clone into a set of groom's suit. Wow, this groom's suit is actually a magic weapon.

It's incredible. You can get a set of magic weapons for free. If you put them outside, I guess they can be sold for a high price.

He touched the coffin board under him again. The material was indeed top-grade spiritual material, but it was obviously much inferior to his own burial coffin.

Sleeping for a long time will cause back pain.

Jiang Li first put his ear to the coffin and listened carefully. He used his clone's body to perform the Guanyin Heart Sutra, which had a much lower effect, but this was his best means of investigation.

After listening for a while, there was no movement.

To be on the safe side, he mixed the Nine Ghosts' aura with the wine and fire aura and ignited a small green flame on his finger.

Jiang Li used the Nine Ghost Spirits and Wood Spirit to create a fire. This small flame was powerful enough to burn through a Jindan cultivator.

His fingers with flames pressed against the wall of the coffin, and the top-quality Yin wood soon became charred and brittle on the contact surface. With a light poke from Jiang Li, a small hole appeared on the coffin board.

Looking out through the small hole, the mourning hall outside was quiet and empty under the flickering lights.

There were no signs of other ghosts around, only two paper figures in the shape of a boy and a girl, kneeling in front of the mourning hall to keep vigil for the deceased.

Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief, then tiptoed to push open the coffin lid from the inside.

The coffin was not nailed shut, which saved him some trouble.

He turned over and landed beside without making any sound.

In the past, the sword cultivator's clone bought a pair of silent boots specifically in order to go to Shuixing Peak for a tryst with his junior sister. The effect was excellent and received five-star reviews.

Looking around, the mourning hall that was completely destroyed before has now been restored to its original state.

The bride ghost king is really rich. He smashes his home every day. The furniture here is made of top-grade Yin wood. I don't know how many immortal cultivation resources have been wasted over the years.

There were two ever-burning green lamps on the altar at the first table in the mourning hall.

There are two tablets in the middle.

"The tablet of the late eldest son Du Xianzhu", "The tablet of the late eldest daughter-in-law Yang Ruozhi"

Jiang Li was originally a cultivator with Yin Wood attribute, and had some understanding of this ritual. He understood it after taking a look.

So the powerful bride ghost king is called Zhang Ruozhi.

To be able to have such a name, the family he was born into must be a scholarly family.

With two clicks of the tongue, Jiang Li began to look around again.

Now it seems that all the ghosts have gone out to harm people. If I'm not here, I'll have suffered danger in vain. If I don't get something out of it, I'll be lying in someone else's coffin.

The clone's eyes were glowing as he looked around, wondering where the Ghost King's dowry that the porters had just brought in had been received.

As his eyes turned, he saw the two paper figures again.

Hmm? Are their movements different from before? Jiang Li stared at them for a while, but didn't notice anything. They seemed to be just two ordinary paper figures.

He turned his head to look elsewhere, but his peripheral vision was still keeping an eye on them.

Still no movement. Am I being too suspicious?

Jiang Li went forward and poked them, and found a hole, nothing wrong. He simply raised his hand and burned them clean, but still nothing abnormal happened.

It seems that I was really overthinking it.

"May you two have a long and happy marriage. As for the wealth of this world, which you cannot bring with you when you are born and cannot take with you when you die, I will keep it for you first."

Returning to the spirit table, he picked up three incense sticks, placed them on the green lamp and lit them, then pretended to burn incense on the spirit tablet.

But the next moment, the flame on the incense stick suddenly turned into a cold flame of a ghost lantern with black and white.

Jiang Li controlled his clone to attack with lightning speed. The flame flashed twice and lit up the two long-burning green lamps.

Suddenly, the flame on the green lamp jumped up to two meters high and turned into two giant flaming snakes that were about to devour their prey.

After lighting the fire, Jiang Li turned over and lay directly back in the coffin. He closed the coffin lid and stood still despite the two fire snakes raging outside.

These are two rare green lantern ghosts. It is said that the last time they appeared was in an emperor’s tomb in the Xiuxian Dynasty.

The bride ghost found two ghosts from somewhere to keep vigil over her.

However, they don’t even look at what kind of martial arts Jiang is mainly practicing, and these two green lantern ghosts are still trying to pretend to be ignorant in front of him.

This time the sneak attack failed, and Jiang Li's shot hit him hard.

In fact, their strength is not weak at all. Even if Jiang Li's real body is here, he may not be able to get any benefit.

But unfortunately they did not choose to attack directly, and were contaminated by the terrifying cold flames of the ghost lanterns. If they did not have other spiritual fires of heaven and earth to support them, they would most likely have been doomed.

The black and white flames were originally only a tiny bunch.

In just a blink of an eye, it had spread out, completely covering the surface of the fire snake.

The surface of the Green Lantern Fire Snake turned black and white. It struggled and twisted in the air, occasionally whipping the surrounding objects, but without leaving any charred marks.

The inside of the fire snakes was extremely hot, but their surfaces were covered by the cold flames of the ghost lanterns and could not ignite anything.

About half a minute later, the fire snakes stopped moving, leaving only a little ashes and two extinguished green lamps in the mourning hall. Jiang Li then opened the coffin lid again and jumped out.

"These two green lanterns are good things."

After taking a quick look with the identification technique, Jiang Li discovered that the two green lanterns were actually high-level Xuan-grade fire-type magic weapons.

It can be used to store and nourish the fire of heaven and earth. After obtaining the fire, even if you don't refine it, you can directly control it with this green lamp.

For fire-attributed cultivators, this is definitely a good thing that can be used as a core magic weapon for sacrifice.

After getting rid of the two green lantern ghosts, Jiang Li quickly checked the house and found no more enemies.

After heaving a sigh of relief, he found a piece of black cloth, made a simple bag, and began to plunder the land.

Jiang Li has some experience in collecting treasures.

In an old house like this, the places where things can be hidden are actually similar.

He quickly rummaged through the drawers and found the floor tiles that could be lifted up under the corner of the study table, and the secret compartment hidden behind the plaque.

There are also secrets buried under the well in the courtyard and treasures hidden under the bed in the main room.

Jiang Li took out a few more items and was about to leave.

Since the storage magic weapon could not be used in this place, even if he found the several large baskets of dowry, he had no way to take them away, so he could only pick up the most valuable items.

"Fellow Daoist, please stay. Can you take me with you?"

Just as Jiang Li took out a small box of purple coins from his dowry and was about to leave, a somewhat sickly and gentle male voice called him.

Jiang Li was startled and looked back. At the memorial tablet in the mourning hall, a transparent shadow appeared out of nowhere and was bowing to him.

The phantom's clothes were almost exactly the same as the ones the sword cultivator's clone was wearing now.

There is no need to guess, this must be one of the two tablets, the male protagonist of a ghost marriage that year, the late Du Xianzhu.

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, then stopped and turned around to ask.

"You are Du Xianzhu? What good will it do me if I take you away?"

"Also, are you blind?"

Jiang Li opened his mouth and asked for benefits directly.

Taking the other party away would most likely lead to the pursuit and hostility of the Flower Married Ghost King. If there was not enough benefit, he would not hesitate at all and would just turn around and leave.

However, the character of this ghost marriage hero did surprise Jiang Li.

"I am indeed Du Xianzhu. If it weren't for you, fellow Taoist, who killed the two green lantern ghosts, I would have been sealed in the spirit tablet and would never have had the chance to come out."

"I would like to thank you again. As a thank you gift, there is a secret book of magical powers passed down by our ancestors on the beam above. I would like to give it to you, fellow Taoist."

"Also, I am not blind, but everything I see with my eyes is connected to my wife in the underworld. If I open my eyes, she will immediately know everything here."

Du Xianzhu didn't mention the reward, but instead talked about the thank you gift from Jiang Li for killing the Green Lantern Ghost.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

The second sentence was to tell Jiang Li that in addition to the benefits he could give, he could also summon back the bride queen as soon as he opened his eyes, so that the sword cultivator's clone could not leave.

Jiang Li thought about it and decided not to leave immediately. He returned to the mourning hall and jumped up. Sure enough, he found a wooden box on the beam.

He reached out and took it down. The wooden box was not locked. When he opened it, there was a six-volume thread-bound ancient book inside.

Seeing that it was not a jade slip, Jiang Li was a little disappointed.

But after flipping through it, Jiang Li was a little surprised by the contents inside.

The characters inside were very ancient and he could not understand most of them, but the font was clearly the same as the handwritten inscriptions that Jiang Li saw in the Mo Men illusion.

Jiang Li had also asked the most knowledgeable seniors in the sect about this kind of text, but even they didn't understand it very clearly.

It is just said that this is a kind of advanced writing similar to runes, which can directly mobilize the power of heaven and earth.

The information that can be recorded in this kind of text is of extraordinary value, even if you think about it with your butt.

"Then you'd better not open your eyes."

"Since this is a thank you gift, I will accept it."

"Besides that, what does Mr. Du plan to use as a reward for me taking you away?"

Jiang Li's expression did not change, and he put away the book as if it was natural. He had no intention of taking advantage of others.

Du Xianzhu didn't mind either.

"This tablet of mine is made of purple gold nanmu wood, and there is a Three-Life Stone inlaid on the base. If you don't mind, you can use it as a magic weapon."

"Also, if you are interested, I can teach you the ancient characters in that book."

Sure enough, he was waiting for him here. The thank-you gift was actually sold together with the reward. If he didn't take him away, Jiang Li wouldn't even be able to find a place to interpret the contents of the ancient book.

Also, is this white stone below the Three Life Stone? Something worth 100,000 spirit stones turns out to be so plain.

From this perspective, we really can't leave this guy here.

"You should be able to find a way to get rid of your wife's pursuit. Otherwise, with her methods, no matter how far I take you, it will be in vain."

When Du Xianzhu heard Jiang Li call the Bride Ghost King his wife, he shook his head helplessly.

"My family has wronged her. If you just take off the red string and burn it, she won't be able to find me."

Jiang Li followed his instructions and untied the red rope.

After entering into a ghost marriage, their destinies are tied together until the end of both parties’ ghost lifespans.

This is probably the reason why the ghost king Yang Ruozhi did not directly kill this forced cheap husband.

Because the connection between the two sides is too deep, once one side disappears, the other side will also suffer a serious blow.

But Jiang Li thought for a moment and decided not to burn the red rope directly.

Instead, he rubbed the red rope with his fingertips and immediately loosened it.

Pull out the red thread and every hair inside.

He took out a small bottle of dragon blood, used the blood as ink, and drew talismans on black paper.

Wrap each red thread and hair individually with the dragon blood black talisman.

After doing all this, Du Xianzhu seemed to sense something and opened his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist, our connection has been cut off and she has discovered it. We should leave quickly."

Upon hearing that a ghost king who was more powerful than a divine cultivator was heading for the battlefield, Jiang Li grabbed the spirit tablet in front of him and left the house.

As for the tablet of the Ghost King Yang Ruozhi, he had no intention of taking it away at all.

If he had that tablet, even across the entire Eastern Region, the other party would probably be able to lock onto his position instantly.

After leaving the house, Jiang Li decisively threw the red groom's suit into the corner of the road, and then quickly ran away from the scene.

After running a long way, Jiang Li suddenly heard an angry scream behind him. It was the female ghost coming back.

Jiang Li hid directly in a restaurant next door.

Not long after, on the street outside, the slicked-back butler led his men to search along the way in a hurry.

Fortunately, there are many ghost kings in Fengdu, and they cannot search every place at will.

After drinking eight pots of tea and still no one came to his door, he finally felt relieved.

"Mr. Du, do you know the situation in Fengdu City?"

Sitting in the corner of the Ghost Restaurant, although Fengdu is weird, it can still be considered safe.

Putting Du Xianzhu's spirit tablet in his arms, Jiang Li ordered two plates of cold dishes with poisonous insects and started to communicate with the other party.

"My ancestors were not from Fengdu. The ancestral home was moved here by Miss Yang more than ten years ago."

"Although I have been staying in the spirit tablet, I still know a little about the situation here through Miss Yang's eyes."

"If you need it, I can give you a brief introduction."

Jiang Li naturally had no objection.

It turns out that this illusion of the underworld appeared much earlier than the Eastern Region’s immortal cultivation community believed.

Long before the Ghost King Wasteland was called the Ghost King Wasteland, this underworld illusion had already appeared in that area. This environment is completely different from the current world of immortal cultivation, and it has a fatal attraction for all ghosts.

After all, that is the final resting place of the dead. Without the legendary underworld to govern them, it would be like the Garden of Eden to ghosts.

Every time the illusion appears, it attracts a large number of ghosts to enter.

Then, no one knows what they gained in there, but more and more Ghost Kings began to be born, which eventually led to the fame of the Ghost King Wasteland, a deserted place in the Eastern Region.

"My first wife also went to a strange place. Although I didn't see it clearly that time, it seemed to be a strange mountain where everything was completely upside down."

I actually forgot to write the chapter title again yesterday... My brain? I'm out of control.
