Li Junchen thought to himself: According to what the old Taoist said, we have to go to the Thousand Stone Forest to find the mountain chief's apprentice, and we still have to go through a fierce battle. Even if we are lucky, it will be tomorrow when the old Taoist delivers the food.
I have to go hungry for another day.
In contrast, it is much easier to go to the under the eyes to beg for alms.
Li Junchen put another piece of grass into his mouth, and soon the three of them came to the house at the foot of the mountain.
"Lu Youjing, go up and knock on the door. You are experienced in this area." Li Junchen instructed Lu Youjing.
"When have I ever done such a thing?" Lu Youjing shook his head and retorted to Li Junchen.
"See for yourself, Chen Tianwen looks like he is capable of doing things like begging for help with others!" Li Junchen explained patiently.
Chen Tianwen saw Lu Youjing looking towards him, shook his head and retreated. He really couldn't do such a thing.
He looked shocked: "Lu Youjing, don't look at me. I won't knock on the door. I would rather starve to death than beg for food from others."
"You see, I know it." Li Junchen smiled confidently.
Lu Youjing raised his chin and said, "Then there's still you!"
Li Junchen pointed at himself, shook his head and said helplessly: "I can't do it either."
"You two are counting on me alone." Lu Youjing looked shocked. He was better at cooperating with such shameless things, right?
"We all agree that Brother Lu has some talent in finding food." Li Junchen shook the last straw in his hand and complimented Lu Youjing.
"Why didn't I see you two discussing this matter?" Lu Youjing said in disbelief.
"Eye, look."
In the end, Lu Youjing was still stubborn but could not stand up to Li Junchen.
He walked forward, put on what he thought was an amiable smile, and knocked on the door.
"Dong dong."
"Dong dong."
After Lu Youjing knocked on the door, he waited for a while, but no one came to open the door. The surrounding was so quiet that he was a little scared. As long as someone came from inside, he could hear it even standing at the door.
He turned back to Li Junchen and said, "There seems to be no one in this house."
When Li Junchen heard this, he walked to the house next door and knocked on the wooden door.
Because the house down the mountain is different from the house they live in. Except for a wooden door at the front door, the house down the mountain is surrounded by high walls. It is not big. It is just a house. As long as there is someone inside, you can hear knocking. Door sounds.
Li Junchen waited for a long time, but saw no movement inside. He came back and said to Lu Youjing, "There is no one in here."
Chen Tianwen lowered his head, pondered for a while and said, "Maybe no one lives in the houses under the mountain."
Lu Youjing bared his teeth and said, "Then what was this house built for? If there aren't people to live in, there are ghosts living in it!"
"Come on, let's try another house. There are still so many here." Lu Youjing said unbelievingly. After coming, we can't leave empty-handed.
"There's no need to go. No one was seen in such a large house yesterday, and we still haven't seen anyone today. Either the people on Fengmian Mountain have gone elsewhere collectively, or there is no one here at all."
Li Junchen said thoughtfully.
Chen Tianwen stepped forward, looked at the dust on the ground at the door and said, "The dust on the ground is not thick. It doesn't look like no one has been here for many years."
"Then what to do now." Lu Youjing looked at the two people and said, since other places are the same as here, then prepare to go back.
"Let's go in and take a look." Li Junchen said calmly.
"How can we get in without anyone?"
Li Junchen walked to the door without saying a word. He stretched out one foot and kicked the door with a loud sound.
"Bang."
The wooden door instantly fell apart and scattered in all directions, and suddenly the doorway was filled with dust.
Lu Youjing was so shocked by Li Junchen's move that he froze in place: This man had just said that he couldn't beg for food, but he seemed to be very skilled in breaking the door!
He walked forward, patted Li Junchen on the shoulder, smiled and praised: "This is a domineering way to get in, I like it."
"You'd better take a look at what's inside and be happy!" Li Junchen smiled bitterly.
Lu Youjing turned his head and looked inside the room. There was a black coffin placed in the middle of the room. His pupils shrank suddenly, he took a breath of air and said in shock: "... coffin, coffin."
Chen Tianwen heard Lu Youjing's exclamation and quickly beat him up.
There are no windows on the walls around the house, but there is a ventilation hole the size of a fist at the top of the wall. Fortunately, the house is not big, only ten meters in radius. It is empty except for a coffin placed in the middle.
Fortunately, Li Junchen kicked the wooden door to pieces, otherwise the faint light reflected from the ventilation holes in the wall would have been nothing.
Even with the light from the doorway, the room looked particularly eerie and dark.
Li Junchen looked around and made sure that no one was in the house, then he raised his feet and walked in boldly.
Lu Youjing stood at the door, watching Li Junchen walk in like that, and whispered urgently: "Li Junchen, what are you doing? Come out quickly, don't disturb others."
At this moment, he felt something moving behind him, which frightened Lu Youjing and turned his head suddenly, clenching his fists tightly in a defensive posture.
When he saw that it was Chen Tianwen behind him, he took a breath and blamed the other person: "Chen Tianwen, don't move around behind me."
Chen Tianwen saw Lu Youjing's nervous expression and said helplessly, "I have to go in."
He pointed to Li Junchen.
"Why did you follow him in? You don't know martial arts. When the time comes, there will be an evil ghost lying in the coffin, and you won't be able to escape." Lu Youjing said worriedly.
Chen Tianwen smiled slightly and said, "There isn't even a word on the coffin. How could there be a dead person lying in it?"
He crossed Lu Youjing's body, turned back and continued: "As my ancestors said, I don't talk about strange powers and gods. There are no such things as ghosts and gods in this world."
Lu Youjing watched Li Junchen and Lu Youjing enter the house. He was the only one standing outside. He looked back and saw that there was no one there. Even though there was sunshine outside the house, he still felt cold.
He gritted his teeth and Xin Yiheng followed suit and walked in.
"Li Junchen, you can find something strange." Chen Tianwen watched Li Junchen observe the coffin for a week, then leaned against the coffin and smelled it with his nose.
"The coffin has been nailed, and there is no unusual smell coming out. I guess there are no living things in it, and of course there are no dead people."
Li Junchen looked at Lu Youjing who looked nervous. Even if he followed them to the room, Lu Youjing was still ten feet away from the coffin, as if there really was an evil ghost lying inside. If he wasn't careful, he would Breaking out of the coffin shocked them all.
"Then why is there a coffin placed here?" Chen Tianwen lowered his head and pondered. Everything has a reason. It is impossible for someone to deliberately put a coffin in the house as an antique.
Moreover, the coffin is made of ordinary wood, which is not expensive at all.
"We don't know yet, but there doesn't seem to be anything inside the hidden compartments on the coffin." Li Junchen didn't see it anyway. There was something special, maybe he didn't discover it.
"I told you two, if we don't go out first, there might be someone who was idle in Fengmian Mountain and made the egg man for fun. You can't figure it out. Let's go out first."
Lu Youjing looked anxious. He urged the two of them to leave here quickly. He didn't want to face a coffin all the time. He always remembered that he felt uncomfortable and frightened.
Li Junchen thought for a while and felt that Lu Youjing was right. Since he couldn't see anything weird now, he should go out first.
"let's go."
Lu Youjing ran out as soon as he heard that he could go out.
Li Junchen looked at Lu Youjing's panicked back and said to Chen Tianwen beside him: "It's just an ordinary coffin, how can he be so scared?"
Chen Tianwen was also puzzled and responded: "Brother Lu has always been so... outrageous."
"Let's go to Thousand Stone Forest now." Lu Youjing asked hurriedly as he watched Li Junchen and Li Junchen walk out swaggeringly.
Li Junchen smiled and said, "Don't be impatient for a moment. I'm going to confirm the suspicion in my heart."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Junchen walked towards the house next door.
Lu Youjing stood there, and another "bang." sounded in his ears.
The wooden door was kicked away by Li Junchen again.
Li Junchen looked at the coffin placed on the ground inside. The layout of this house was exactly the same as the one just now. A smile appeared on his lips: If so.
He just stood at the door and looked inside the room for a few seconds, just as Lu Youjing and the others walked away.
Chen Tianwen looked at Li Junchen, who looked delighted, and persuaded him: "Li Junchen, if you encounter this situation next time, remember to be gentler, so that we can press the door again."
He looked at the sawdust on the floor and shook his head with a wry smile. If there were people in the house, and they wanted to compensate them, they wouldn't be able to get even half a penny out of their pockets.
"We can leave now and leave the door alone. No one lives in the house anyway, and no one can find us."
Chen Tianwen walked towards the mountain.
Li Junchen and Chen Tianwen walked side by side behind.
"What's going on in that house?"
"There is an identical coffin inside."
"Is it empty too?"
"Yes, the layout is exactly the same."
"It seems that there are coffins in all the ninety houses under the mountain."
“I haven’t seen the others yet, but I think they are all like this.”:
Chen Tianwen looked at Li Junchen and asked seriously: "What do you think these coffins are used for."
"Aside from letting the dead die, what else can this thing do?" Li Junchen smiled lightly.
"But where did so many people come from on this mountain? They are completely useless." Chen Tianwen was very confused. Counting the three of them and the person they were about to meet, there were only six people in Fengmian Mountain. That was nine people. Ten coffins.
There are more than ten sets for one person.
