Qiao Suinian's body stiffened instantly.
Han Yueling's words sent a chill down his spine. He mustered his courage and looked over, and found that there did indeed appear to be a human-shaped black shadow in the shadow behind the blood-red coffin.
"Nagash's Gaze!"
Qiao Suinian wasn't foolish enough to do something as foolish as offering himself up for a kill, so he immediately fired a Darmo Beam.
The green Darma Bind landed on the humanoid black figure, emitting puffs of white smoke.
Qiao Suinian then realized that the shadow was not a human figure, but a corpse kneeling on the ground.
Two coin-sized holes had been burned into the top of the corpse by his Nagash gaze.
The corpse had decomposed into bones, and the skeleton was still covered with a tattered Taoist robe, which was covered with dust.
When Qiao Suinian went over to take a look, he discovered that there was a line of words written in blood directly in front of the corpse.
"The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, Three gives birth to all things. All things carry Yin and embrace Yang, and achieve harmony through the interaction of these two forces. Isolated Yin cannot produce, and solitary Yang cannot grow. The greatest is the smallest, and the greatest Yin gives birth to the greatest Yang."
"March 15, 2060, Zhang Luochen's last words."
Qiao Suinian's brows furrowed involuntarily. March 15, 2060? Isn't that the first month after the apocalypse began?
March 15th was less than four months ago, and in such a short time, it has decomposed into a skeleton?
The last words left by Zhang Luochen before his death left Qiao Suinian completely baffled. Logically speaking, this guy was able to get through so many Abyss Corpse Clan members to get here, so his strength should not be weak. How could he die kneeling here?
What was he trying to say by leaving this line before he died?
Qiao Suinian felt a chill run down his spine; it seemed there was more strangeness to this place.
“Zhang Luochen…” Han Yueling murmured the name, then her gaze suddenly sharpened. “I remember now! This person should be a Taoist priest from the Qiqu Taoist Temple in Kyoto! I heard Sister Guan say that all the Taoist priests in the Qiqu Taoist Temple are surnamed Zhang!”
"It is said that when the apocalypse was just beginning, countless Taoist priests from that temple left the capital and went to the outside world to help the common people!"
"It seems that this Daoist Zhang Luochen rushed over after hearing about the landslide here!"
After hearing this, Qiao Suinian touched her nose somewhat awkwardly.
If that's really the case, then Zhang Luochen is indeed a good person; he actually burned two holes in the top of Zhang Luochen's head with Nagash's Gaze.
Luckily, I have no conscience, otherwise I would definitely get up in the middle of the night and slap myself twice, saying that I deserve to die.
Qiao Suinian stopped paying attention to Zhang Luochen's body and instead focused on the words on the ground.
There was nothing else in this godforsaken place. Zhang Luochen's last words were most likely referring to this blood-red coffin in front of him, and the direction Zhang Luochen was kneeling in was precisely towards this blood-red coffin.
After observing for a while, Qiao Suinian suddenly discovered that the runes on the blood-red coffin and the handwriting of Zhang Luochen's last words seemed very similar!
He went closer to observe and became even more convinced of his discovery.
Could it be that this blood-red coffin was originally completely blank, and Zhang Luochen wrote on it after he came in?
Why did Zhang Luochen write various runes on the blood-red coffin? Could it be... a seal? An imprisonment?
Qiao Suinian couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
Combined with the occasional thumping sounds, he felt that his guess might be very close to the truth.
Perhaps there's some terrifying monster inside this coffin that Zhang Luochen couldn't deal with, which is why he sealed the coffin with runes?
Qiao Suinian's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and her eyes were filled with apprehension as she looked at the blood-red coffin.
"The greatest is the smallest, the extreme yin gives rise to the extreme yang... Isn't the existence of the Abyss Corpse Clan the extreme yin? Then what's in this blood-red coffin is the extreme yang?"
Qiao Suinian looked at the pen on the ground and muttered to himself, as if he was pondering something.
"Fine! Open the coffin!"
Qiao Suinian's eyes hardened again. Since he couldn't get out anyway, he might as well satisfy his curiosity and see what was in the blood-red coffin before he died. That way, it wouldn't be a loss.
Anyone who has watched Yu Huanshui knows that once a person realizes they are doomed, they become incredibly bold; they even dare to ask a female ghost to give them maternity leave.
Qiao Suinian took a deep breath, then walked to the front of the blood-red coffin and pushed it hard!
"Thump!"
The moment Qiao Suinian pushed open the coffin, a muffled thud sounded again. This time, the sound was crystal clear, like a thunderclap exploding right next to his ears.
"puff!"
Qiao Suinian, who was closest to the coffin, was so shocked that he spat out a mouthful of blood towards the coffin, clutched his heart, and collapsed to the ground.
The runes on the coffin detached from it like little tadpoles. Freed from the runes' restraint, a dazzling crimson beam of light shot straight into the sky!
Boom!
In that instant, the entire city of Kyoto was enveloped in red light as if it were the end of the world!
Almost everyone saw the blood-red pillar of light!
"What a terrifying aura! What is that crimson pillar of light?"
"I don't know! Judging from the direction it appeared, it seems to be from the forbidden area of Kyoto!"
"The forbidden area of Kyoto? Isn't that a place where anyone who goes there is doomed? It's been sealed off for a long time, so why are people still going there?"
"Could it be that some kind of treasure has been born? Let's go take a look!"
Many quick-thinking individuals have already headed towards the forbidden area of Kyoto.
Gu Youyang, Li Xiujie, and Guan Yan were shocked to find themselves sitting up in a panic. Just last night, they had witnessed Qiao Suinian and Han Yueling jump into the forbidden area of Kyoto, and now the forbidden area of Kyoto had undergone a strange change.
