Chapter 52 Nine Netherworld Coffin
Captain Liu just felt it was ridiculous.
Cang Yao is the patriarch of the Cang family. He has more schemes in his head than anyone else. Even their special case team has to be cautious when dealing with him, for fear of being tricked by this fox.
How could he possibly sacrifice his life just to stay in a hotel in a strange place?
"you……"
"I'll do it."
Captain Liu was about to speak when he was interrupted by Feng Tianning.
Feng Tianning glanced coldly at the boss, walked to the front of the team and said:
“How do I pay?”
"Tianning, no!"
Captain Liu grabbed Feng Tianning. Although this was a strange place, the damage caused to people was real and irreversible.
How could they let Feng Tianning lose thirty years of his life in vain?
How old is she?
If thirty years really were lost all of a sudden, how would he explain to Director Cai and the Feng family when he returned?
He really hated Feng Tianning's terrible personal heroism.
Feng Tianning gave Captain Liu a reassuring look.
She is the great Mother of the Earth, whose spirit and soul live as long as the heaven and earth.
Who has the ability to take her life away? Who dares to take her life away?
"It doesn't matter. How can I pay for my lifespan?"
The boss's smile widened, almost reaching his ears, revealing a mouthful of pale teeth.
"You just need to lie down here and we will do it for you." The boss pointed to a long wooden box next to him that looked like a coffin.
Feng Tianning didn't hesitate and walked straight towards the wooden box.
"Tianning!" Captain Liu called Feng Tianning again, and then asked Xuan Gou Chen to stop her.
"We won't stay in this store anymore!"
Feng Tianning felt helpless, but thinking that Captain Liu was also worried about her safety, she whispered in his ear:
"Don't worry, I have ways to deal with it. They can't take away my lifespan."
Seeing Feng Tianning's confident look, Captain Liu let her go half-heartedly.
"Be sure to be careful."
Feng Tianning nodded and lay down directly in the wooden box.
The other members of the special case team stared at her nervously, ready to snatch Feng Tianning back if there was anything wrong.
Feng Tianning, lying in the wooden box, felt that the noise around him disappeared in an instant, and there was silence in his ears.
Her body seemed to gradually heat up, and she felt like she was lying on a cloud, with the touch beneath her becoming soft.
Feng Tianning only felt as if something cold was clinging to her body, wrapping around her bit by bit.
This thing gradually moved to her face and finally stopped near her temples.
A sharp pain went from her skin straight to her brain, and then directly into her sea of consciousness.
Feng Tianning suddenly realized that there were more resentments in his sea of consciousness, trying to break through the barrier and devour her consciousness.
But the moment the resentment touched the golden barrier, it evaporated instantly. The remaining resentments seemed to be unconvinced and rushed up desperately.
These resentments did not hurt Feng Tianning, but were instead swallowed up by her one by one.
At this time, her merits changed again, from 1160 to 1300.
Feng Tianning only felt that something in his body seemed to want to rush out, and the outer shell covering the golden elixir seemed to have several more cracks.
This is a sign of a breakthrough.
Feng Tianning was speechless for a moment. Why didn't she break through earlier or later, but had to break through at such a critical moment?
She sighed helplessly. The opportunity was right here. If she didn't break through, wouldn't she be letting down her boss's "good intentions"?
When Feng Tianning looked inward at his dantian, the golden elixir was making the sound of dripping morning dew.
The surface of the golden elixir was already riddled with holes, and a faint golden light shone through the fine cracks.
Feng Tianning concentrated his energy, used his spiritual consciousness as a blade, and gently knocked along the most vulnerable "fire position" of the Dao pattern - this is the "knocking on the sky gate" recorded in "Taixu Ningying Jue".
Crack.
Amid the sound of breaking jade, the outer shell of the golden elixir melted away as quickly as spring snow.
The spiritual energy of the entire cave suddenly collapsed, forming a vortex visible to the naked eye at the dantian.
Feng Tianning's meridians suddenly burst like a flood, and the small and large circulations that had been running steadily were now devoured and torn to pieces by the Nascent Soul.
There were bursts of roaring in her ears, and her head felt like it was about to explode.
"So this is what the 'pain of rebirth' mentioned in the classics means..."
Feng Tianning bit his tongue hard to stay clear-headed and guided the runaway spiritual energy to wash over his limbs and bones.
Under the spiritual pressure, the bones turned into jade bit by bit, and frost crystals condensed at the ends of the hair.
After an unknown amount of time, the Nascent Soul finally stopped being restless.
Feng Tianning exhaled a breath of foul air. Although there was no golden elixir in his dantian now, there was a flickering image of stars.
The special case team detectives outside had no idea that Feng Tianning was making a breakthrough. They only saw her lying motionless in the wooden box, as if... dead.
Captain Liu was a little anxious and wanted to rescue Feng Tianning, but was stopped by Cang Yao:
"I was like that too. Let's wait a little longer."
Captain Liu waited for another five minutes. Seeing that Feng Tianning showed no sign of waking up, he winked at Xuan Gou Chen and the others and prepared to go forward and snatch the person away.
But just as they were about to go forward, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared from Feng Tianning's body, which made it difficult for everyone to open their eyes.
Feng Tianning slowly sat up, the golden light in his eyes still lingering, and glanced at everyone coldly.
Xuan Gou Chen was the first to react. He looked at Feng Tianning in disbelief and said:
"Tianning, have you made a breakthrough?"
"And he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage?"
Feng Tianning nodded. She didn't expect it to be so smooth.
Special Case Team: ...
Feng Tianning is probably the only one in the world who can make a breakthrough in such an environment, right?
"Tianning, are you okay?" Captain Liu was still a little worried. After all, he had just said that he wanted to give her thirty years of life!
Feng Tianning shook his head and said:
"This wooden box is a funerary object."
"It's called the Nine Netherworld Coffin. The coffin is carved entirely from ten thousand year old dark wood, and the surface is inlaid with three hundred and sixty bronze runes in the shape of reverse scales.
On the inside of the coffin lid, the "Shouduoshou Lu" is written in mermaid blood, and a blood-colored spell appears at 12:30 am every day. The bronze chains hanging from the four corners are not real objects, but are formed from the unfinished life of the deceased.
Captain Liu frowned:
"Three quarters past midnight? Isn't that right now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden box, which was originally a little yellow, instantly turned black.
Several blood-red talismans appeared in the coffin, and several pairs of eyes were spinning around the talismans, as if looking for prey.
Captain Liu accidentally exchanged glances with the man, and a chill instantly rose up behind him, as if something cold was sticking to him.
"The Guixu Tales, Volume on Underworld Artifacts, records that the Guixu Sea Eye produces Yin wood, which is used to carve a nine-hole coffin. A living person lying in it can steal the lifespan of heaven. However, for every sixty years of life stolen, a red lotus will bloom at the bottom of the coffin. When the number of seventy-seven days is reached, the nine-hole coffin will open."
Feng Tianning's indifferent voice called back Captain Liu.
He took a closer look and saw ten red lotuses suddenly appear under the wooden coffin.
