Chapter 148 Get off the coffin first before talking
The coffin had been nailed, and Lin Du was too lazy to get tools, so he raised his hand to tear off the talisman, called Yan Qing, and directly used a knife to remove the nails.
People who saw this scene couldn't help but exclaim, "How immoral, how immoral!"
"Whether it's immoral or not is another matter. They have already dug out such a dangerous soul-sealing formation. If they open the coffin and come back to life, does that mean they think they didn't die quickly enough?"
After a while, the coffin lid was opened.
The two men worked together to move the coffin lid, and what they saw was a somewhat dried-up corpse.
The body was also nailed with extremely long nails from top to bottom, but the fabric on the body was still bright and well preserved.
"This corpse's Yin meridians have been sealed, and if the soul is led into the Soul Sealing Formation, the resentment will not be replenished and can only slowly dissipate over thousands of years."
Lin Du saw through the trick at a glance, and turned to look at the small seventh gate outside, "The Yin Meridian is sealed, even if the ghost's resentment has not dissipated, it will not be able to replenish its resentment when it returns to the body."
What's more, after a thousand years, I'm afraid it would have disappeared long ago.
Lin Du looked at the talisman in his hand that had been revealed, lowered his eyes and waited for a while, then sighed softly.
It seems that the ghost-locking formation I just prepared is useless.
But Lin Du soon realized something was wrong. She suddenly raised her hand and used her spiritual power to close the lid again, then quickly turned over and stepped on it.
"Uncle Junior Master?"
Lin Du frowned. "The nail that seals the genitals should be seven inches long. After being inserted into the body, it should not protrude more than three inches at most. But when we opened the coffin, this nail..."
Xia Tian said without hesitation, "At least six inches."
The penis was either not sealed at all, or... it was pushed up a little bit during this period.
The penis meridian is at least half unblocked now.
"The Yin Qi is still there, so the body hasn't decayed, and the ghost's Yin Qi is constantly replenished, so it won't dissipate," Lin Du frowned, "But if there are no ghost remnants left in the soul-sealing formation, then we can only..."
Several people felt a chill on their backs and almost broke out in a cold sweat.
"I had to run out at the very beginning." Yan Qing continued.
Lin Du sighed softly, glanced at the few people, and said loudly, "I am Lin Du, the 99th generation disciple of the Supreme Sect. I have no intention of disturbing you, but I was sent here because of the Zhongzhou competition. If you are willing to show up, I will solve the mystery and send you to the underworld."
Xia Tianwu glanced at Lin Du and said, "Uncle Master, do you want to get off the coffin first before we talk?"
Lin Du said, "No, let's just hold it back and wait for the senior to come out."
A cold wind suddenly blew into the house, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill that made the four of them shiver.
Lin Du took a deep breath and looked down at the compass in his hand. The needle was spinning rapidly, then suddenly stopped and pointed in Lin Du's own direction.
She raised her eyebrows, suppressed the sharp surprise in her heart, turned her head slowly, and then showed a standard fake smile, "Senior?"
Bang!
An extremely strong gust of wind blew straight into Lin Du's face.
Lin Du simply lay back and stuck to the coffin lid to avoid the disaster. Then he used his waist as a fulcrum and turned his body 90 degrees. He slid along the way and his feet sank into a weightless mud.
It turns out he was waiting for her here.
Lin Du was swallowed by the space. When he looked up, he seemed to be back in his original room.
But the difference was that, except for the coffin, the entire floor, beams and furniture were pristine, even glowing with a rich, moist luster as if they had been scrubbed for a long time.
A fantasy world, or should we call it, a ghost world.
In the end, it doesn't really exist.
Lin Du was holding the compass, ready to find the escape route and break it open, but he heard a voice.
She narrowed her eyes and quietly moved closer to the door.
There was a sound of chaotic footsteps like chasing each other in the courtyard, followed by cheerful laughter.
A little kid was running in the front with short legs. A young man in blue, wearing a colorful Nuo mask, deliberately made a fierce look and followed behind the little kid, pretending to catch her.
The little kid had short arms and legs and was particularly chubby, so he didn't run very fast. He was like a ball with legs that couldn't roll fast, and was quickly caught by the young man.
"Ha! He's been caught! The big devil wants to eat children!"
The man in the Nuo mask picked up the child at once, shook him vigorously, and put his face wearing the Nuo mask in front of the baby.
The little kid didn't cry, but pulled out a short wooden sword from his waist, "Devil! Look at the sword!"
The wooden sword made a clanking sound and lightly hit the Nuo mask. The young man actually cooperated and staggered to the side, shaking the baby and making him scream. In the end, they fell to the ground together.
The little kid jumped down on his father's chest, holding the wooden sword proudly, "Great! The big devil is dead!"
The young man took off his Nuo mask, revealing a dignified and gentle face. "Well done, you are worthy of being my son."
"If I encounter a demon in the future, I will fight to the last minute and never be a deserter."
He sat on the ground, hugged his son and laughed happily.
Lin Du looked at this scene, thoughtful. When he saw that they were about to enter the main room, he turned around and moved to the back, left from the back door, walked through the vermilion corridor, bypassed a rockery, flowing water, exotic flowers and vines, and arrived in front of the guest room.
"The situation at the border has been unstable these days. Look at you. You're so badly injured, yet you still insist on going forward." The woman's voice was filled with a hint of reproach.
"The evil demon is robbing and hurting people. I am one of the few high-level monks in the town. I have to go and rescue him." The man's voice was dignified, and it was the voice of the young man in front of the hall just now.
Lin Du stood outside the compartment, cautiously afraid of disturbing the people in the illusion.
"I always feel that the frequency of evil spirits hurting people is getting higher and higher. The town has been uneasy recently, and several children have been missing. Chen Yan, why don't we move?" The woman's voice was full of worry.
"If I leave, there will be one less city on the border of Zhongzhou where cultivators can live. Someone has already sent a letter to our friends in the big sects. When they come, we can kill all the evil demons and live peacefully from now on."
Lin Du frowned. Liyang Town was indeed on the border of Zhongzhou. The anecdotes also recorded people's speculation. The most likely possibility was that it was disturbed by evil spirits, so it gradually became an isolated city.
But a town with frequent trade would not wait until it was emptied before anyone noticed it.
Therefore, it has always remained an unsolved mystery.
Now it seems that it is still related to evil spirits.
But why is there no sign of demonic intrusion in the city?
There had been no sound in the house for a while. Lin Du clearly saw the flowers in the yard slowly withering, and then turning into the withered appearance of winter.
She walked towards the inner courtyard again.
Soon, shouts were heard, "Go and look for our child! How could he be missing? You are a cultivator in the Huiyang realm! How could the child be lost?"
The woman's cry suddenly rang out. The young man in blue silently held the struggling woman in his arms, pursed his lips, and looked gloomy.
"It only took one night and Hui Ge'er is gone. Why?"
"You are a cultivator in the Huiyang realm, why didn't you notice that Hui Ge'er was gone!"
The woman slapped the man's chest hard, tears streaming down her face, and she was in great pain.
Lin Du listened to the crying beside him, and suddenly a vague guess came to his mind.
In this town, there are evil demons in human skin.
This is an illusion created by the ghost using his resentment, so the things in it must be the things that he remembers most deeply.
And the ghost whose soul was sealed, if nothing unexpected happened, was Chen Yan.
This...the child's father.
But what had he done to deserve such a cruel method of sealing his soul and making him unable to be reborn?
