The nails had been hammered into the coffin. Lin Du didn't bother to pick up tools. He raised his hand to pull off the talisman and called Yan Qing to pick up the nails with a knife.
Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but gasped, "It's so wicked, it's so wicked!"
"Whether it's moral or not is another matter. We have dug up such a dangerous soul-sealing formation. If we open the coffin and revive the soul, is it because we don't want to die quickly enough?"
After a while, the coffin lid was opened.
The two people worked together to remove the coffin board, and what they saw was a somewhat dry corpse.
This corpse was also covered with extremely long nails from top to bottom, but the cloth on its body was still bright and well-preserved.
"This corpse has its Yin veins sealed, and then the soul is led into the soul sealing array. The resentment cannot be replenished and can only slowly dissipate over thousands of years."
Lin Du saw the key point at a glance and turned to look at Xiao Qiguan outside, "With the Yin veins sealed, even if the ghost's resentment has not dissipated, it will not be replenished when it returns to the body."
What's more, in a thousand years, I'm afraid it would have dissipated long ago.
Lin Du looked at the talisman that was revealed in his hand, lowered his eyes and waited for a while, then sighed softly.
It seems that the ghost locking formation just prepared is useless.
But soon Lin Du realized something was wrong. She suddenly raised her hand and used her spiritual power to close the lid again, quickly turned over and stepped on it.
"Little uncle?"
Lin Du frowned, "The nail that seals the Yin veins should be seven inches long. After being pierced into the body, it should be no longer than three inches long. But when we opened the coffin, this nail..."
Xia Tian made no assertion, "At least six inches."
The Yin meridians were either not sealed at all, or... during this period, they were pushed up bit by bit.
At least half of the Yin meridians are open now.
"The Yin Qi is still there, so the body has not decayed, and the ghost's Yin Qi is constantly being replenished, so it will not dissipate." Lin Du frowned, "But if there are no ghosts left in the soul-sealing array, then I can only..."
Everyone's backs felt cold, almost breaking out in cold sweat.
"We can only run out as early as the beginning." Yan Qing answered.
Lin Du lightly clicked his tongue, glanced at a few people, and said loudly, "Lin Du, the ninety-ninth generation disciple of the Supreme Sect, has no intention of disturbing you, just because the Zhongzhou Competition was thrown here. If the senior is willing to show up, If the younger generation solves the mystery, he will send the older generation to the underworld."
Xia Tian Wu glanced at Lin Du and said, "Uncle Master, do you want to get off the coffin board first and then talk."
Lin Du said, "No, let's hold it down until the senior comes out."
A gust of wind suddenly blew inside the house, bringing with it a biting coolness that made the four of them shiver.
Lin Du took a deep breath and looked down at the compass in his hand. The pointer rotated rapidly, then stopped suddenly and pointed in Lin Du's own direction.
She raised her eyebrows, suppressed the sharp surprise in her heart, turned her head slowly, and then showed a standard fake smile, "Senior?"
boom!
A particularly strong wind rushed straight into Lin Du's face.
Lin Du simply lay back, leaning against the coffin board to avoid the disaster. Then he neatly turned his body ninety degrees using his waist as a fulcrum. He slipped along the way, but his feet got stuck in the weightless mud.
It turned out that he was waiting for her here.
Lin Du was swallowed by the space. When he opened his eyes, he seemed to be back in the original main room.
But it was different. Except for the coffin, the entire floor and beams of furniture were brand new and picturesque, and even glowed with a rich and moist light after being scrubbed by people for a long time.
Fantasy, or should it be called, ghost realm.
It's not real after all.
Lin Du held the compass and was about to find the living door and break it open when he heard a human voice.
She narrowed her eyes and moved quietly to the door.
Under the courtyard, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps like a chase, followed by cheerful laughter.
A little doll ran at the front with short legs. The young man in blue, wearing a colorful face mask, deliberately showed his teeth and claws, and followed the little doll, pretending to catch her.
The little baby had short arms and legs and was extremely round. It didn't run very fast, like a ball that couldn't roll fast because it had long legs. It was quickly caught by the young man.
"Ha! He must have been caught! The big devil wants to eat the child!"
The man with the Nuo mask picked up the child at once, then gave it a strong bump, and brought the Nuo mask-wearing face directly in front of the little baby.
The little baby didn't cry, but pulled out a short wooden sword from his waist, "Devil! Look at the sword!"
The wooden sword clicked and hit the Nuo surface lightly, but the young man really cooperated and stumbled to the side, shaking the little baby and screaming, and finally fell to the ground together.
The little baby stepped on his father's chest and jumped down, holding the wooden sword arrogantly, "Okay! The big devil is dead!"
The young man took off his Nuo noodles, revealing a dignified and gentle face, "Well done, you are worthy of being my son."
"Whenever I encounter the devil in the future, I will fight to the last moment and never desert."
He sat on the ground, hugging his son and smiling happily.
Lin Du watched this scene thoughtfully. Seeing that they were about to enter the main room, he turned around and moved to the back. He left through the back door, walked through the vermilion corridor, bypassed a rockery, flowing water, and exotic flowers and vines, and arrived in front of the side room.
"The border has not been peaceful these days. Look at you, you are so seriously injured and you still insist on stepping forward." The woman's voice complained with anger.
"Evils are attacking and hurting people. I am one of the few high-level monks in the town, so I have to rescue them." The man's voice was dignified, and it was clearly the voice of the young man in front of the hall just now.
Lin Du stood outside the wing, cautiously, for fear of disturbing the people in the illusion.
"I always feel that evil spirits are hurting people more and more frequently. The town has not been peaceful recently. Several children have been lost. Shen Yan, let's move." The woman's voice was full of worry.
"If I leave, the border of Zhongzhou... there will be one less city where human cultivators can live. Someone has already sent a letter to the friends of the big sect. When they come, we can directly kill the evil spirits who are causing trouble. If you are clean, your days will be pure in the future.”
Lin Du frowned. Liyang Town was indeed on the border of Zhongzhou. The anecdotes also recorded folk speculations. The most likely reason was that it was harassed by evil spirits, so it gradually became an isolated city.
But a town with frequent trade would not wait until it was emptied out before anyone discovered it.
So it remains an unsolved mystery.
Now it seems that it is still related to evil spirits.
But why is there no trace of demonic intrusion in the city?
There had been no sound in the house for a while, and Lin Du could clearly see the flowers in the yard slowly withering, and then turning into the withered appearance of winter.
She lifted her feet and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Not long after, I heard shouts, "Go and look for us! Why is our child missing? You are a Huiyang realm monk! Why is the child missing!"
The woman's cry rang out hastily, and the young man in blue silently held the struggling woman in his arms, pursed his lips, and looked gloomy.
"Brother Hui disappeared in just one night, why!"
"You are a Huiyang realm monk, why didn't you notice that Brother Hui was gone!"
The woman slapped the man's chest hard, tears streaming down her face, and she collapsed.
Lin Du listened to the crying in his ears, and suddenly had a vague guess in his heart.
In this town, there are demons in human skin.
This is an illusion created by the ghost out of resentment, so it must be the thing he remembers the most.
As for the ghost whose soul was sealed, if nothing unexpected happened, it was Shen Yan.
This...child's father.
But what on earth did he do to make people set up a soul-sealing array against him, a cruel method that would not allow him to be reincarnated?
