Chapter 103 No. 81 Chaonei 3
Accompanied by a high-pitched singing voice, an empty wedding sedan chair adorned with large red flowers silently floated out and drifted towards us.
On the other side, a woman dressed in theatrical costume also floated out of the darkness.
"Protect me!"
Master Liu glanced at the woman in theatrical costume in front of him, then focused his attention on his feet.
"You're crazy! I'll go first, you go second!"
Fatty Lin put down his pickaxe, pinched a talisman in one hand and raised his sword in the other, and charged towards the woman in the costume.
"Wife, you stay by Second Master's side!"
I gave Long Nier a few instructions, then drew the tiger-tail whip from my waist and charged towards the bridal sedan chair, lashing out with it.
A whip lashed out, striking the sedan chair, sending wood chips flying and the curtains tumbling inward, but the sedan chair didn't stop, passing right through my body.
Before I could react, I was already sitting in the sedan chair, with a faint fragrance wafting from beside me.
I stiffly turned my head and saw a bride wearing a bright red wedding dress and a red veil.
I was startled. I was wearing a protective bead around my neck, holding a tiger-tail whip in my hand, and had a ghost-killing seal in my pocket. How could I have been approached by evil spirits?
Just as I was wondering, the bride slowly turned her head, and I could vaguely hear a creaking sound from bones colliding.
Fuck you!
Without thinking, I took out the Demon-Slaying Seal and pressed it against the bride.
With a bang, I hit the bride's head, causing it to tilt to the side, the veil fell off, and her face was revealed.
"Ni'er?"
Looking at that face that was so familiar, I exclaimed in surprise.
"Brother!"
The bride looked at me with tears welling up in her eyes, and suddenly many white worms crawled out of her eyes, ears, nose and mouth.
"Grass!"
I immediately realized that this was not Long Nier, and I struck her with the Demon-Slaying Seal once again.
"Brother?"
"Long Nier" looked at me in despair, and her cry sent a shiver down my spine. I still imprinted the Demon-Slaying Seal on her.
With a loud thud, "Long Nier's" head was smashed open like a watermelon, and blood splattered all over me.
"Brother, how cruel you are!"
With only half a head remaining, "Long Nier" murmured, her body slumped, and countless insects crawled out of her head and toward me.
"Damn it!"
Looking at the little white insects, I was reminded of the time I was poisoned by a curse, and I got goosebumps all over my body. I frantically swept away the insects that crawled towards me.
"Brother, do you even consider me your wife?"
Just then, "Long Nier's" soft voice rang out again.
I turned my head and found that "Long Nier" had recovered at some point and was looking at me with a resentful expression.
"Fuck you!"
This time, I didn't hesitate at all. I swung the Demon-Slaying Seal and smashed it down, yelling as I did so, "You dare impersonate my wife! You dare impersonate my wife!"
I stopped, panting heavily, only after smashing "Long Ni'er's" head into a pile of mud.
"Damn it, damn it!"
I cursed as I wiped the blood and flesh stuck to my hands.
As I was rubbing, I noticed something was wrong. My hands were very itchy, as if something was crawling inside my skin.
I scratched it a couple of times, and the itch spread from my hands to my face.
I scratched my face, and a soft, squishy sensation came from my hand. I opened my hand and saw several white, squishy bugs in my palm.
Before I could react, my nostrils tingled, and an insect fell out. Scenes of being poisoned years ago flashed before my eyes like a slideshow. I couldn't help but scream, "Ah!"
"What the hell are you yelling for? I told you to bring something to wake you up, but you just couldn't remember. Now you know to yell?"
Just as I uttered the name, Liu Erye's voice rang in my ears.
Insects, a bridal sedan chair, and "Long Ni'er" with her head smashed—all of this shattered like a mirror, disappearing without a trace.
When I came to my senses, I found myself still in the tunnel.
Turning around, Long Nier looked at me with a half-smile, while Fatty Lin sneered. Liu Erye was squatting on the ground, breaking up floor tiles.
"Was that a hallucination?" I realized immediately.
"Um!"
Long Nier came over, hugged my arm affectionately, and said, "Brother, next time you call me 'wife' a little quieter. Also, you said someone was impersonating me, what did you see?"
"I saw myself get into that sedan chair!"
As I spoke, I glanced at Master Liu.
He had pried open seven or eight bricks on the ground, and underneath them was a pitch-black coffin.
Fatty Lin should have woken up from his hallucination before me; there were three bricks piled up next to him.
"Come help when you wake up!"
After removing another brick, Old Master Liu said, "How about this chaotic feng shui arrangement? Very few people know how to set up this kind of bewitching feng shui anymore!"
"Second Master, so you know everything, and you're just waiting to see me make a fool of myself?"
I said.
"I don't have time to watch you make a fool of yourself!"
Master Liu snorted, stood up, and said, "Alright, you two brothers can handle the rest!"
"How do I do it?"
I looked at the coffin below and asked.
"What else can we do but carry it up?" said Master Liu.
The coffin was not large, about one meter long and about half a meter wide.
All the bricks covering the coffin have been removed; all that's left is manual labor, just as Master Liu said, to lift it out.
Without wasting words, Fatty Lin and I worked together to lift the coffin up and asked, "Second Master, what's next?"
"Open the coffin!"
Master Liu uttered two words, walked to the coffin, held the coffin lid, and slowly pushed it open.
The coffin lid creaked and slid downwards.
I frowned as I looked at the coffin, now filled with questions!
For example, why is there a coffin here, and such a small coffin at that?
For example, how is the feng shui arrangement for bewitching described by Second Master arranged, and what are the principles behind it?
Soon, the coffin lid was opened, revealing what was inside.
Inside was the desiccated corpse of an infant.
Master Liu stared at the dried corpse for a long time, sighed, took out a red rope, carefully tied it to the infant's wrist, then wrapped the infant's body with the yellow cloth that was underneath it, took the infant's body out, and placed it aside.
After removing the infant's body, Liu Erye didn't stop. Instead, he took out everything from the coffin until the bottom board was exposed.
Upon seeing the board, Uncle Liu bent down and tapped it, felt around on it, found a spot and pressed down. With a click, the board in the center of the coffin bounced upwards.
Take this board out, and what's inside will be revealed.
"fish?"
I was shocked when I saw what was inside.
Inside the coffin's inner compartment was a bowl. It wasn't big, just a normal rice bowl. To my surprise, the bowl contained water, and in the water were two red carp, each about the size of a baby's palm.
I watched this coffin being dug out with my own eyes. It looks like it's been buried here for a hundred years. How did these two fish survive all these years?
