Now I have no clue about the bloody handprint and Jiang Jiuzhen. I am also feeling anxious and annoyed.
During the three days, I went to Aunt Huang's place to see my girlfriend Huang Susu, and she was still the same. Because of the snow condensation beads in her mouth, her body would not rot.
On the afternoon of the third day, Duoduo told me that the ghost officials from the underworld would come at night to capture Tong Xue.
Although I don't know how Duoduo knew it, I still told the ghost girl Tongjie the news. When Tong Xue got the news, she didn't react much.
She smiled and said to me: "It will come eventually!"
Fortunately, at around seven o'clock that evening, Junjun, who had been in a coma, finally woke up.
Junjun held Tong Xue's hand, and the two of them sat in front of the balcony window and talked a lot.
Sister Tong's eyes were filled with concern and love for the child. She told Junjun the news that she was leaving soon. Junjun hugged her and cried.
Maybe he was tired from crying, Junjun fell asleep in Sister Tong's arms. Later, Sister Tong asked Ma Qiang to take Junjun back to the bedroom, and then Sister Tong and I left the apartment together.
The sky was a little dim that night, and the moon only half showed its face, peeking at the world.
Sister Tong and I went to the park near the community.
At this time, there was no one in the park. On a vacant lot with scattered gravel, Sister Tong appeared in spirit. She looked at me deeply and said sadly, "Brother Tianyi, I have something to ask of you!"
I stood there, feeling very uncomfortable.
"Sister Tong, tell me what you want. As long as I, Yang Tianyi, can do it, I will help as much as possible. After all, you have helped me a lot during this period of time, and I really regard you as my own friend!"
Sister Tong's face was covered with tears. She said in a sobbing voice, "Okay! I feel relieved with your words! Brother Tianyi, I hope you can help me take good care of Junjun and help me find a good family for Junjun. I hope Junjun can live a healthy and happy life."
I agreed: "Sister Tong, don't worry, this is what I should do."
"Um!"
Tong Xue nodded and slowly opened her mouth. Then, the red lacquered coffin was spit out from her mouth and flew into her hands.
After taking a look at the red lacquer coffin, Tong Xue said to me, "Brother Tianyi, I don't have anything good to leave for you. This red lacquer coffin is my gift to you. I had already decided to leave it to you before! It has been nurtured in my soul, and the evil nature in it has been reduced a lot."
To be honest, I was very interested in the red lacquer coffin in Tong Xue's hand. But when she mentioned the word "magic", I was a little confused.
"Sister Tong, what do you mean by 'devil'? Can you tell me about this red lacquer coffin? I'm very curious about it!"
Sister Tong did not avoid the question, maybe because she felt that she didn’t have much time left!
She explained to me, "Brother Tianyi, I actually don't know what this red lacquer coffin is. I found this coffin at the bottom of the River Styx when I escaped from the underworld. It was sunk to the bottom of the river, and I hid inside the coffin to avoid being chased by the ghost officials."
"Later, the coffin entered my soul. But this coffin is not just an ordinary coffin. It absorbs essence. Most of the essence in my soul has been absorbed by it.
, I was originally a fierce ghost, but now I have lost my vitality, and my soul now looks like an ordinary ghost."
"Also, although this coffin has absorbed my energy, it can still sense when I'm in danger. It was also there to help me during the previous few attacks. You should know this. The demonic nature I'm talking about refers to the coffin itself. In my opinion, this coffin is definitely a very strange thing."
"I found a lot of strange things inside this coffin. This coffin looks small, but the space inside is very large. The monster with a red tongue you saw earlier is called Taotie. I don't know where it came from, but its body is extremely huge. And it is particularly greedy! There are golden chains tied around its body. It must have been trapped in this red lacquer coffin by someone!"
"Also, inside this coffin, besides the giant beast Taotie, there is another coffin. That coffin is a bronze coffin, and it's very large, but after I entered it, I couldn't get close to it at all. The perimeter of that coffin is engraved with strange symbols, which are not the runes used by Taoist priests, nor the underworld patterns used in the underworld. In short, those symbols are very powerful, and they can cause great harm to both humans and ghosts."
"I've told you so much just to tell you that this coffin is very mysterious. But don't think you can easily crack its secrets. Although it has been nurtured by my essence during this period of time, which has reduced its demonic nature, it is still difficult to control!"
I listened to Sister Tong's words in surprise and was completely stunned.
I already thought it was bizarre that ghosts existed in this world. Now Sister Tong said that there was a larger space inside the red lacquer coffin. This was even more beyond my imagination. You know, this involves the theory of space.
From what I have learned, space is represented by length, width, height, and size. But a small space is absolutely impossible to contain a larger space, which is beyond my understanding and imagination.
Having said this, Tong Xue's face showed a relieved expression.
She smiled and said: "Now, Junjun has been found, and he is safe and sound, and the knot in my heart has been untied!
"Actually, to be honest with you, brother Tianyi, when I dealt with the 'Five Ghosts' a few days ago, I had already reached an agreement with the giant beast Taotie in the red lacquer coffin. I asked it to control the red lacquer coffin to fight for me and repel the Five Ghosts, and I would need to sacrifice my soul in return."
"Three days have passed, and the people from the underworld are about to come. So rather than being captured and tortured by the people from the underworld, I think it's better to destroy myself. After all, I have already promised Taotie."
At this point, Sister Tong said to me seriously, "Brother Tianyi, don't think I'm being long-winded. Let me remind you again that this red lacquer coffin is a demon. So you must be careful when controlling it, lest you be attacked by the demonic nature and turn into a monster that is neither human nor demon!"
I let out a long breath and nodded, "Sister Tong, don't worry, I will be extra careful!"
"Okay! Then come over here. I'll pass on my experience of controlling the red lacquer coffin to you, so that you won't be at a loss as to how to use this coffin when you run into trouble in the future."
"good!"
After agreeing, I went to the female ghost sister.
Tong Xue slowly raised her fingers and gently placed them on my forehead.
Then she kept chanting the ghost curse, and
All the things about the red lacquer coffin were transmitted into my memory.
In fact, this "transmission" is also easy to understand. It is like the film of a camera, which is clean and blank before, and then slowly transmits, and an image appears and becomes a record.
After everything was transferred, Tong Xue smiled and said to me: "They are here, and my time is up!"
Indeed, the people from the underworld are coming!
The quiet park was gradually blown by a strong wind, and the trees were crackling in the wind, and the branches were trembling timidly. The gravel and dirt on the ground were blown by the wind and flew all over the sky.
There are many more dark clouds in the sky, and the moon has hidden its brilliance.
The air became turbid.
The night became even darker.
A circle of light slowly appeared in the west of this gravel land. The circle of light appeared out of thin air, and it was dark inside, with no light visible. There was a constant chilly breeze coming out of it, which was a bit chilly... ...
"I have to go now!"
After Sister Tong said this, her soul turned into a ball of black gas and flew towards the red lacquered coffin.
The lid of the red lacquered coffin opened instantly, swallowing up the soul of the female ghost Tong Xue.
No shouting, no struggling!
I can feel that the soul of the female ghost Tong Xue has disappeared from this world.
After the soul dissipated, the red-painted coffin trembled slightly, and then flew towards me.
I raised my palm and took the red lacquer coffin into my hand. At the same time, I bit the fingertips of my left hand and dripped a drop of blood on the red lacquer coffin. As my blood dripped on the red lacquer coffin, I was shocked and found that the color of the red lacquer coffin became brighter red.
At the same time, my nerves seemed to be connected to the red lacquered coffin.
I am sure that now as long as I have an idea in my mind, I can open the red lacquered coffin and enter it.
But now is not the time.
I quickly put away the red lacquered coffin.
At this time, in the circle of light not far away, a grayish-white light gradually appeared in the dark void. Then, figures emerged one after another.
I knew that they were the ghost officials from the underworld, and there were quite a lot of them.
I didn't hide or show any fear, I just stood there blankly.
Then, several figures flew out of the light circle. Those people were wrapped in dark energy, giving people a very dark and gloomy feeling. I actually knew one of the two people standing in the front, Bai Wuchang.
Next to Bai Wuchang stood a man with a dark face, sticking out his tongue, and wearing a black tall hat on his head. On the tall hat was written "Peace in the World". His eyes were cold and deep.
That person should be Hei Wuchang, and his appearance is very similar to the description in the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes.
Looking behind the Black and White Impermanence, one can see the Ox-Headed Demon and the Horse-Faced Demon.
The bull's head and the horse's face both looked very strange. At that moment, a strange idea came to my mind. I was thinking that the bull's head and the horse's face might be the product of the hybridization of humans and animals.
As I was staring at them in a trance, Hei Wuchang tilted his head and looked at me blankly. He asked coldly, "Taoist, a female ghost appeared here just now. Did you see it?"
I came to my senses, shook my head quickly, bowed to the Black and White Impermanence, and said carefully: "My Lords, what female ghost? I didn't see any. I just came here and have never seen any female ghost. Did you see it wrong?"
