Chapter 1077 Is it a living person or a dead person?

"There are only coffins down there? Could it be..."

I was stunned after hearing what Hu Zi said. A bad premonition immediately struck me.

I took a deep breath, then jumped down from the entrance of the cellar, and then landed steadily on the ground.

However, when I landed and saw the scene in front of me clearly, I couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

In fact, the coffins here are too big.

I saw that this was an extremely empty underground space, and there were rows of big red coffins placed in all directions. These coffins were placed very neatly. The most important thing was that each coffin was covered with dense talismans, and some of the coffins were even painted with ink lines.

"The corpse qi is coming from these coffins." I whispered.

"Qian Yu, why are there so many coffins here? Who are lying in them?" Hu Zi was also curious. He slowly walked to a coffin, then raised his hand and knocked on the coffin lid. After knocking, he asked, "Is there anyone inside?"

As if someone would really respond to him, after he said this, he even put his ear to the coffin and listened carefully.

Seeing this, I shook my head helplessly, thinking to myself, what an idiot, you knock on a coffin and ask if there is anyone inside, it would be strange if anyone responds.

However, almost as soon as I finished this thought, I saw Hu Zi's expression change, his eyes suddenly widened, looking at me and said: "Oh my god, Qian Yu, there is really someone in here!"

"Someone?" I was stunned, and Hu Zi said: "I seem to hear... someone responding to me."

"How is it possible!" Even if there is something in the coffin, it can only be a corpse, and judging from the strong corpse smell, the person lying inside is most likely a zombie that is about to transform into a corpse, or even has already transformed into a corpse. How could such a being respond to Hu Zi?

"If you don't believe me, come and listen. There really is someone talking." Seeing that I didn't believe him, Hu Zi asked me to go over and listen. I hesitated for a moment, but finally went over and put my ear to the coffin lid.

But when I heard this, my heart skipped a beat, because there was actually someone talking in the coffin.

And he seemed to be saying, "Is there anyone outside?"

"What's going on? How could there be someone in this coffin?" I was stunned. If it was a corpse that had been transformed, it would be impossible to have such a clear mind, let alone such clear speech.

However, the sound coming from the coffin just now was so clear, it sounded almost the same as a normal person.

"Qian Yu, do you want to open it and take a look?" Hu Zi looked at me and asked. Seeing that I was a little hesitant, he pulled out his pig-killing knife and said, "Oh my god, you are afraid of nothing. If there is a zombie or something, I will kill it with one knife. Don't hesitate. What's going on? Just open it and you will know."

Although Hu Zi was a little impulsive, he sometimes made sense.

Instead of making random guesses here, it is better to open it and find out.

I nodded to Hu Zi, and then I reached out and took off all the talismans attached to both sides of the coffin, and then worked together with Hu Zi to push the coffin lid hard.

With the "creaking" sound of the coffin friction, the coffin lid was slowly pushed open by Hu Zi and me to open a gap.

It was just strange that the coffin lid was surprisingly heavy. With the current cultivation level of Hu Zi and me, we could carry a coffin, let alone a coffin lid.

But at this moment, the two of us pushed so hard that we were already panting after just pushing a gap.

"Damn, why is it so heavy!" Hu Zi said in confusion.

"It's the corpse qi." I narrowed my eyes and looked at the gap.

I saw that the gap was only as thick as a finger, but even with such a small gap, the corpse qi that permeated from it was extremely dense.

When I saw this scene, I immediately understood what was going on.

The corpse qi and evil spirit inside sucked the coffin lid, making it fit perfectly on the coffin, like a natural whole, so it was difficult to push it open.

But how strong must the corpse qi be to absorb the coffin lid so firmly?

And can a person who can emit such a strong corpse qi really be a... normal person?

This is obviously impossible!

"Do you want to continue pushing?" Hu Zi asked.

"Push." ​​As the saying goes, once the bow is shot, there is no turning back. Since we have already started, there is no reason to give up halfway.

After I finished speaking, I took a deep breath, and then Hu Zi and I worked together to push hard again.

But perhaps because the corpse qi leaked out through the gap, the suction force became smaller. Hu Zi and I pushed the coffin lid too hard and hit another coffin with a "bang", knocking all the evil-suppressing talismans on the other coffin off. After the coffin lid

was pushed away, the thick corpse qi spread out with a "whoosh", and the whole coffin was filled with evil spirits.

I subconsciously took a step back, but Hu Zi stood there like a fool.

"Oh my god, why is it so smelly!" Hu Zi covered his nose with disgust, waved away the evil spirit in front of him, and then looked into the coffin.

But at this glance, Hu Zi immediately shuddered, his eyes widened like radar, almost flying out of his eye sockets.

I saw his mouth trembling for a while, and after a long while he said: "You, you, you...didn't you die a long time ago?"

After hearing Hu Zi's words, my heart was shocked, and I hurried to look inside the coffin.

But at this glance, I was also stunned.

Because the person lying in the coffin was Xu Zhengchun's eldest brother, Xu Zhengyi, who should have died a long time ago!

When the incident happened in our village, there was also a disturbance in the ancient tomb in the back mountain. The Xu family went to the back mountain to suppress the disturbance in the ancient tomb, resulting in heavy casualties among the Xu family, and this person died in that disturbance.

It was because of this that Xu Zhengchun became the current head of the Xu family. Otherwise, the head of the family should be Xu Zhengyi.

But who would have thought that Xu Zhengyi was not dead, but lying in a coffin in the cellar of the Xu family?

We saw that he was lying in the coffin as if he had just woken up, looking at Hu Zi and me blankly. The next second, he frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

Hu Zi and I looked at each other without saying anything. Seeing this, he slowly sat up from the coffin and spoke again in a low voice, "This is an important place for my Xu family. How did you get in? Where is Xu Zhengchun?"

"We..." Hu Zi was about to say something when he heard it, but he swallowed it when the words came to his lips.

Because the moment Xu Zhengyi stood up, we both saw that there was a big hole in his lower abdomen.

It was a through wound, transparent from front to back, and I could even see his... already rotten internal organs through the big hole!
