Chapter 36: Lying Into The Ghost Coffin
Feng Quan spoke while crawling out from the coffin. Facing Yang Jian’s relentless questioning, he patiently explained to Yang Jian.
Although they had indeed tried to kill each other before, in order to survive in this village or even leave here, both of them tacitly chose understanding.
Meanwhile, Jiang Shan nearby did not pay attention to their conversation; his gaze turned outside the village,
The village, which had originally returned to brightness, began to dim again at this moment. At this time, Jiang Shan spoke to Yang Jian and Feng Quan:
“Save your chit-chat for later. The ghost is coming now.”
Feng Quan looked at Jiang Shan with dread,
Even now, he did not know how Jiang Shan had left Huang Gang Village or how he had suddenly appeared in the mourning hall.
“Is it Ghost Domain?” Feng Quan guessed.
Hearing the footsteps coming from outside the house, Feng Quan could only set aside his doubts for now, looking toward the mourning hall door with numb eyes,
As the footsteps grew closer,
A “person” walked out from the darkness.
It was a handsome young man with a deathly pale face, no blood color, and features exactly like the person in the portrait before.
Suddenly,
The man from the portrait abruptly stopped when he reached the door,
Noticing this, Yang Jian grew tense. He did not know why this ghost had stopped—was it dreading something?
The atmosphere at the scene fell into unprecedented tension,
Yang Jian looked at Feng Quan pretending to be foolish in the mourning hall, Zhang Han not daring to move, and Jiang Shan, whose background he knew nothing about.
The ghost outside was still watching covetously, as the young man had already lifted his right foot to walk toward everyone.
“No choice.”
Just as Yang Jian was about to activate Ghost Domain,
Suddenly, a Black Haze he had never seen before enveloped the entire mourning hall, even suppressing his Ghost Eye’s Ghost Domain here!
At this moment, the young man at the door seemed confined, his right foot suspended in mid-air.
“What are you three watching, Peking opera? Get moving!” Jiang Shan’s voice echoed through the mourning hall.
Yang Jian and Zhang Han, snapping to attention, immediately unleashed the fierce ghosts within their bodies,
Yang Jian’s Headless Ghost Shadow, Zhang Han’s Ghost Person behind him, plus Jiang Shan’s Dead Face Ghost—these Three Ghosts pinned the young man firmly in place.
Black Haze filled the mourning hall,
Feng Quan could not see anything happening in the mourning hall at all; he felt as if he were completely out of the situation.
“This is Ghost Domain!” Feng Quan confirmed his guess looking at the surrounding Black Haze.
“That ghost? Why can’t I see anything?”
When Feng Quan could finally see his surroundings, he horror-strickenly discovered he had been sent out of Huang Gang Village and was now standing before a group of people.
“Wang Xiao Ming, Zhao Jianguo, Li Jun.”
Feng Quan recognized all these people before him, but at this moment, his heart was filled with deep dread toward Jiang Shan.
Likewise, seeing Feng Quan suddenly appear before them with a bewildered look, Wang Xiao Ming’s eyes flickered.
He stopped Li Jun, who was about to rush into Huang Gang Village to seize the Ghost Coffin, then calmly looked toward Huang Gang Village and said:
“The Ghost Coffin won’t be lost. It’s useless even if you go.”
After sending Feng Quan away, Jiang Shan lay straight into this vermilion-lacquered Ghost Coffin amid the Black Haze,
In the mourning hall, the Dead Person Ghost Face’s Ghost Domain combined with Yang Jian and Zhang Han could fully restrict that ghost’s action,
Now, he wanted to cherish this rare time to fully experience this coffin that could nurture ghosts.
After closing the lid, Jiang Shan’s vision plunged into pitch blackness,
He felt his body slowly sinking, a strange feeling surging in Jiang Shan’s heart.
“It’s not sinking—my body is disappearing.”
Jiang Shan keenly noticed the changes in himself. During this, he felt no pain, no fear, not even any emotion.
He was now like a newborn infant, gestating in this coffin, as if craving new life!
Gradually, Jiang Shan’s consciousness merged into the coffin, his body completely vanishing.
But Jiang Shan’s consciousness appeared in every corner of Huang Gang Village.
As time passed, Huang Gang Village grew smaller and smaller in his sight until finally, Jiang Shan felt his consciousness falling into a comfortable darkness.
This darkness seemed able to devour people’s emotions, senses, everything about a person.
Jiang Shan’s consciousness became empty and clear. He gazed at this darkness without a trace of emotion, but the malicious gaze in the darkness suddenly jolted him awake.
He saw countless eyes in the endless darkness from all directions, staring fixedly at Jiang Shan, greedily peeping at everything about him.
Among these eyes were those of old men, women, children, and even ghosts!
Jiang Shan lying in the Ghost Coffin abruptly flung open the lid and sat up.
Though he did not understand what everything he saw in the Ghost Coffin meant, in those greedy eyes, Jiang Shan felt an extremely familiar sensation.
Ghost Characters!
Recalling the piercing gaze every time he activated Ghost Characters prophecy, Jiang Shan’s unease grew stronger.
“Are the Ghost Characters peeping at me? Or does it want to replace me?”
Jiang Shan could not think of an answer for the moment, so he simply jumped out of the Ghost Coffin, glanced at Zhang Han and Yang Jian still suppressing the fierce ghost, and said:
“This ghost can’t be left unhandled. Once it returns to this Ghost Coffin, everything will end.”
Yang Jian frowned tightly at Jiang Shan; he always maintained distrust toward him.
With Yang Jian’s personality, he could never trust a “Cheng Yaojin” who appeared out of nowhere midway.
Meanwhile, Zhang Han, seeing Yang Jian take no action, did not know how to decide for the moment.
While Zhang Han hesitated, he suddenly noticed scarlet Ghost Characters appearing on every part of the young man’s body, and in the blink of an eye, that ghost vanished.
It just abruptly disappeared before their eyes.
“The ghost disappeared? Did you detain it, Brother Jiang?” Zhang Han asked in surprise.
He had personally experienced the terror of Ghost Characters, but he did not expect it could instantly kill even such an unsolvable ghost.
“This ghost won’t disappear or be detained. The entire village is part of it. And don’t call me Brother Jiang.” Jiang Shan stood beside Yang Jian, saying calmly.
“Got it, Brother Jiang.” Zhang Han said.
At this moment, Yang Jian’s mind was far from calm, because on those scarlet Ghost Characters, he had seen the shadow of Human Skin Paper!
“Black Haze suppressing Ghost Eye,” “Feng Quan who disappeared,” “Ghost Wielder never seen in the village.”
Yang Jian glanced heavily at Jiang Shan, unsure what this man, who seemed about his age, intended by coming here.
“How do you know the entire village is the ghost?” Yang Jian asked.
“See that coffin? Lie in it, and you’ll know everything.” Jiang Shan pointed at the vermilion-lacquered coffin.
At this time, Yang Jian’s eyes flickered. When Feng Quan emerged from the Ghost Coffin, he had already taken note of it. Even though his Ghost Eye was suppressed by Black Haze, he still saw Jiang Shan lie into the coffin.
Moreover, from Feng Quan’s conversation, he realized this mission’s purpose was not to rescue Feng Quan, but this Ghost Coffin.
It seemed this coffin hid a big secret!
Bros, why no comments? Is it that my writing sucks, buddies?
So sad.
Can’t banter with you all, half my life’s fun is gone.
