The old zombie raised his head and looked at Lu Jing carefully several times before returning the wooden sign to Lu Jing's hand.
Then he asked again, "You didn't tell anyone else about coming here, did you?"
Lu Jing and Yang Tao shook their heads after hearing this.
"Is there anything urgent you need to do in the near future?"
Yang Tao shook his head again, patted his chest and said, "I came to the capital alone and have nothing to worry about."
Lu Jing said cautiously, "Are we going to take an assessment next... How long will the assessment take?"
"No comment." The old zombie said expressionlessly.
"Then I have to go back and get something." Lu Jing said. Although he had the wine gourd with him, the wine in it was only enough for a week.
From what the old zombie meant, it seemed that the assessment would take a long time, so to be on the safe side, Lu Jing decided to prepare more poisonous wine.
But the old zombie was a little impatient and asked, "What are you going back to get?"
"Medicine." Lu Jing said matter-of-factly.
"Medicine?" The old zombie was shocked again. He looked at Lu Jing again and said doubtfully, "You look quite healthy. Why do you need to take medicine?"
"Because... I have an unspeakable illness."
Hearing these words, Yang Tao and the old zombie looked at Lu Jing with different eyes. Yang Tao was impressed and worried at the same time, while the old zombie had a look of disdain on his face and sneered again and again.
"It's not what you think." Lu Jing was helpless.
"It doesn't matter. Since it's medicine, you don't have to go back to get it." The old zombie waved his hand, "Just tell us what medicine you want then."
"I'm afraid the medicine I want is not easy to find." Lu Jing said tactfully.
Hearing this, the old zombie said proudly, "Haha, don't worry... There is no medicine in this world that we can't find. Your medicine will definitely not be used up during the assessment. Stop being a mother-in-law. Can you get in?" "
"All right."
Lu Jingwenyan and Yang Tao walked into the coffin shop together.
The small hall was filled with coffins everywhere.
Various coffins.
There are fine golden nanmu coffins, as well as inferior cypress, willow, paulownia and pine coffins.
The thickness also varies. The thickest ones are as thick as a punch, while others are as thin as paper. Just looking at them makes people worry that they will fall apart on the spot.
It fully explains what life is, and what death is.
The old zombie lit a copper lamp, and the flame of the lamp danced a few times, casting his somewhat rickety shadow on the wall, making the entire coffin shop look even more gloomy.
"Pick one." He said calmly.
"What to choose?" Yang Tao asked stupidly.
"You have all come to my coffin shop. What else can you choose? Of course it is your own coffin."
"Choose our own coffin? But... aren't we here to take the assessment?" Yang Tao stammered.
"If you want to choose, you can choose. How come there is so much nonsense."
After a pause, the old zombie continued, "I'm not trying to scare you. Your guide should have told you that this business is very dangerous. What you will face in the future is mysterious and unpredictable. Any situation will be unpredictable." It could happen.
"Pick the coffin in advance, you may not know when it will be used, so you'd better choose carefully and make sure you pick the one you like, so as not to live in an uncomfortable place after death." The old zombie said slowly.
Yang Tao was still hesitating when he saw that Lu Jing on the side had already chosen his coffin. He did not choose the most expensive sandalwood coffin in the store, nor did he choose the golden nanmu coffin that was popular among dignitaries.
I just chose an ordinary-looking willow coffin.
When Yang Tao saw this, he gritted his teeth and picked the largest red pine coffin in the store with the most abundant materials. He murmured, "This is good. My gun can be put down together. We are dependent on each other when we are alive, and we can be together after death." Companion."
Seeing that both of them had chosen the coffin, the old zombie nodded, but then uttered something that surprised the two of them even more.
"Very well, lie down in it."
"Lie in?" Yang Tao admits that he doesn't like people who repeat other people's words, but tonight this is already the number of times he has repeated other people's words.
He couldn't help it, because he couldn't help but doubt his ears.
"That's right, lie in it. You can't do it just by looking at the coffin. You have to lie in it and try it yourself to know whether it's comfortable or not."
As the old zombie finished speaking, a gust of wind blew in from outside the store, causing Yang Tao to shiver.
Visiting a coffin shop in the middle of the night to pick out a coffin for yourself is scary enough.
He didn't expect that there would be a trial lying session waiting for him after this.
Yang Tao almost couldn't help but turn around and leave, but when he thought about how hard it was for him to get to the capital from Liuzhou, and before leaving, he made a promise to his father and elder brother that he would do something big.
Young people have little face. If they go back in such a dejected state, Yang Tao feels that he has no face to see his elders in his hometown again.
And when he turned around, he saw that Lu Jing, who had come with him, was already lying in the willow coffin.
Lying quite comfortably, he put the Zen staff aside and folded his hands on his chest.
So Yang Tao gritted his teeth and lay down in his own coffin with the spear in his arms.
And when he lay down, I don't know where the skinny old zombie got the strength to push up the coffin lid that was leaning on the ground, completely trapping him in the coffin.
As the coffin board above the head was completely closed, the weak candlelight of the copper lamp was also isolated.
"Remember, don't get out of the coffin before it stops." The old zombie finally warned.
"What's stopping?"
Yang Tao asked subconsciously, but the old zombie stopped answering.
In the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, Yang Tao could only hear his own breathing, and the breathing was getting faster and faster.
Only then did Yang Tao realize that he might have overestimated his courage.
Especially after a while, when he found that the coffin he was in began to move, he couldn't help but start thinking wildly.
When he came in, he had already looked around and confirmed that there were only three of them in the entire coffin shop, and Lu Jing and he were already lying in the coffin, so who was lifting his coffin now.
That old zombie?
Not to mention whether he had such strength, he couldn't carry the two coffins alone.
The more Yang Tao thought about it, the more he couldn't help but be afraid.
In comparison, Lu Jing on the other side was much calmer.
He had already guessed the existence of a mysterious organization behind the men in black from reading He Qing's notes, and also knew that this group of people mastered magic, which was later confirmed by Aoi.
So in theory, no matter what happens when he steps into this coffin shop, he won't be too surprised.
Of course, Lu Jing had to admit that it was a bit strange to lie in a coffin in the middle of the night.
However, he still calmed down and listened carefully to the sounds coming from the other side of the coffin, wanting to know where he and Yang Tao would be sent next.
Lu Jing could feel the coffin moving slowly toward the backyard.
But the old zombie didn't follow.
Then he heard the scraping sound of a corner of the coffin hitting the back wall.
I heard the rustling of the grass and trees in the backyard being blown by the night wind.
Then the coffin suddenly stopped.
Lu Jing felt a warning sign in his heart for no reason, and wanted to break out of the coffin, but the next moment the coffin started to fall downwards!
