I found myself awake.
But my eyes are still somewhat warm. Everything I see is stained with "spirits". The stones are stained with spirits, the air is filled with spirits, the trees are emitting spirits, and the earth is emitting spirits...
Even the red lacquered coffin is filled with spirits.
I don't know why, but it was a very mysterious feeling, as if in an instant, I was closer to the sky and the earth. I found that spirits were constantly seeping out of my body.
However, the warmth above the eyes did not last long and turned cold.
I found that after the warmth, that mysterious feeling disappeared.
Everything I saw returned to normal. The earth was still the same, and the stones, flowers, plants, and trees were still the same.
I heard a voice next to my ear, someone was calling my name.
When I looked over, I saw Wang Jiuyang, Granny Tianhua, my cheap master Zhang Chu, Fatty Li, the little monk Yuquan, and even the Miao girl Qiushui. They surrounded me.
"Tianyi, are you okay? You finally woke up. You scared us to death just now!" The speaker was Zhang Chu.
I looked at Zhang Chu and called out, "Master!"
Zhang Chu smiled at me, and hurriedly helped me up from the ground together with Yuquan.
The voice of the Taotie beast came again: "Yang Tianyi, did you hear my voice? If you heard me, then what are you talking about? Hey! Yang Tianyi..."
I answered the words of the Taotie beast in my heart, "Taotie, I heard you, I heard you."
Hearing me talking, the Taotie beast got a little angry and said, "You heard me talking, but you didn't answer me. I've been calling you for several minutes."
What do you mean a few minutes? I was just unconscious for a few minutes.
But what I just experienced seemed like a long time ago. It was so magical and incredible.
"Yang Tianyi, are you okay?"
This time, it was Granny Smallpox who asked me questions.
I turned my head to look at Granny Tianhua, put on as little smile as I could, and replied, "I'm fine. I'm fine."
Wang Jiuyang came over and asked me, "Tianyi, what was that coffin you just activated? Why was it so powerful?"
I noticed that there was a hint of fear in Wang Jiuyang's eyes. It seemed that he was also afraid of the red lacquered coffin.
I thought about it and replied, "That is one of my magic tools. I got it by accident."
I didn’t say anything more.
Wang Jiuyang looked at me with some disappointment.
I noticed that the small red-painted coffin was still suspended in the air, emitting a little red light.
And the connection between me and the red lacquer coffin seemed to have become even closer at that moment.
There were also many inexplicable things in my head. When I checked it, my head felt a little painful, but I soon got used to it. I found that it was actually a method to control the red lacquer coffin, and some basic knowledge for practicing Taoism.
That’s right, it’s the basic knowledge used for practicing Taoism.
What's going on? How did these things appear in my head
The first thing that came to my mind was the huge black coffin inside the red lacquered coffin.
Could it be that the reason why I was able to sense spirits and have tighter control over the red-painted coffin just now was because of that giant coffin
That should be the case, I can't think of anything else.
Just as I was immersed in my thoughts, a cold voice came from a distance.
"Yang Tianyi, I didn't expect that you actually possess such a powerful magical weapon. It seems that I underestimated you." That was the voice of the woman who fell into the cave.
I looked at the cave girl and noticed that she was suspended in midair again. Her body looked a little weak, but she looked unusually fierce. The eerie ghost energy had not diminished much.
Wang Jiuyang and Granny Tianhua subconsciously protected us and wanted to continue fighting with the woman in the cave.
I said, "Uncle Jiuyang, Granny Tianhua, please get out of the way. I already have a way to deal with that cave girl."
Wang Jiuyang was not too surprised when he heard what I said.
He looked at Granny Smallpox, and the two of them looked at each other and nodded to each other.
Then the two of them stood behind me.
Then the goodness in my body began to surge out, and at the same time, I followed the memory in my head and began to recite those mysterious formulas. Soon, I found that the red lacquer coffin floating in the air actually moved.
"Whoosh!"
That was the sound of breaking air! The red lacquer coffin flew directly back into my mouth.
The Taotie beast was a little surprised and asked me, "Yang Tianyi, how can you control the red lacquer coffin? Could it be that you already know the formula to control it?"
I answered in my heart: "Yes, I already know it."
After hearing what I said, the Taotie beast seemed a little excited and actually laughed out loud.
"Hahaha, this is great. This is great! Hurry up, hurry up... Yang Tianyi, please let me out. I have already gotten rid of the black iron chain. I don't want to be bound by the red lacquered coffin anymore. I want to get out of here, I want to get out!"
"Don't worry, as long as you let me out, I will help you deal with that crazy woman. You can help your..."
I fell into deep thought and I didn't think releasing the Taotie beast was a good thing.
I remember the Taotie beast said that it was the king of all beasts in ancient times, and from what I know, the Taotie beast is also a vicious beast. If I release a vicious beast, can I control it? What if it turns the tables and attacks me
I am just a small Taoist priest who catches ghosts. Although I know some mysterious methods, I am afraid that I will have a hard time dealing with a huge and ferocious monster. There is even no possibility of winning.
"What are you still thinking about? Yang Tianyi, as long as you let me go, I am willing to help you, how about it?"
The Taotie beast said it was willing to help me, but its temperament was so strange, what if it changed its mind
I don't think its words are very credible.
At this moment, a rune suddenly popped up in my mind.
The rune flashed with golden light, and its name was "Seal of the Beast".
The rune's introduction said that as long as I used my blood to carve this rune on the beast's head, I would be able to control the beast.
This is good.
But is it credible? Thinking about the mysterious red lacquer coffin and the huge coffin inside the red lacquer coffin, I think it should be credible.
So I communicated with Taotie in my heart: "Taotie, I can help you. But you have to obey my orders. Otherwise, you will never get out of the red lacquer coffin in your lifetime. Because I am the only one who has the method to open and control the red lacquer coffin."
The Taotie beast didn't expect me to say that. It said angrily, "Yang Tianyi, what do you mean by that? Do you want to control me?"
I didn't flinch and said directly: "You are right, I just want to control you."
After hearing what I said, the Taotie Beast burst into laughter and said loudly: "Yang Tianyi, you underestimate me too much. I am a divine beast from the ancient times. Do you really want me to kowtow and serve a human like you? You really think too highly of yourself."
I look calm
Standing there.
The next moment, what I didn’t expect was that the red lacquered coffin in my hand began to tremble violently.
The next moment, the voice of the Taotie beast came: "Okay, Yang Tianyi, I agree to serve you as my master, but it depends on whether you have the ability. Originally, the two of us had a transaction relationship. If you let me go, I can help you kill the woman who fell into the cave. But now I have changed my mind. I want to deal with you first."
Suddenly, a red tongue stretched out from the red lacquered coffin.
Before I could react, the red tongue rolled up and pulled me directly towards the red lacquered coffin.
Seeing the small red-painted coffin about to hit me in the face, I quickly chanted a spell and shouted, "Open!"
The opening of the red-painted coffin suddenly became huge.
In front of the eyes of Wang Jiuyang and others, my body sank directly into the red lacquered coffin.
The moment my body sank into the red-painted coffin, I shouted, “Shut up!”
Then the opening of the red-painted coffin suddenly shrank.
My soul had entered the red lacquer coffin once before, and this time, it was my body that entered the red lacquer coffin.
After entering the red lacquered coffin, the Taotie beast still wrapped its red tongue around my body.
It stared at me fiercely and said disdainfully: "Yang Tianyi, who do you really think you are? I was the one helping you in the past few times. If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago."
"Now you actually want to subdue me. What's your reason? Is it because you can control the red lacquer coffin now?"
I could feel the Taotie's tongue tightening little by little, and I felt pain in my body.
Soon, the red tongue tightened even more.
The pain became more intense, and beads of sweat appeared on my forehead.
There were chaotic noises coming from outside the red lacquer coffin. I knew it was the voices of Zhang Chu, Wang Jiuyang and others. However, they could not see clearly what was happening inside the shrunken red lacquer coffin.
I stared at the Taotie beast coldly and said, "Taotie, you'd better let me go, because I have control over the red lacquer coffin. In other words, I have the final say here."
My words did not cause the Taotie beast to change.
The Taotie Beast said coldly: "Really? But I don't think you are my opponent yet."
I ignored the gluttonous beast and directly chanted a few incantations. Then, with a "crash", the black iron chains scattered on the ground instantly wrapped around the gluttonous beast.
The Taotie beast just stared at me and didn't pay any attention to the surroundings.
This sudden change has shocked it.
"Clang!" The sound of the black iron chain trembled and never stopped.
"Ah!" a scream.
A black iron chain actually strangled the Taotie beast's neck.
In an instant, I felt that the red tongue of the Taotie beast had become very weak.
I quickly controlled the energy of good deeds and fell into the red lacquered coffin.
As for the Taotie beast, at this time, it had been tangled like a dumpling by the black iron chains.
I chanted the spell, and the black chain became tighter and tighter.
Soon, a voice came from the Taotie beast, "Stop! Stop! Yang Tianyi, you are powerful, I am afraid of you. I am afraid of you, don't I respect your orders! Ah, it hurts! My bones are about to fall apart..."
I stopped chanting the spell, looked at the Taotie beast with a smile, and said with a smile: "Taotie, you may not know yet, but in such a short time, I, Yang Tianyi, have become different. I have gained a lot of things."
The Taotie beast looked at me coldly and asked, "So what do you want?"
