C30 Sleeping Coffin
Just as I entered the house of Old Immortal Chen and the others, I smelled a strong smell of incense burning. This was because people would often burn incense and worship God in their houses. So, I was quite familiar with this smell. However, I didn't know why Old Immortal Chen would burn incense at night.
I slowly walked into the house of Old Immortal Chen and saw the big coffin in front of me. However, the coffin was much more sinister than it was during the day. I felt fear from the bottom of my heart.
I couldn't help but whisper, "Immortal Master?"
However, the entire house was dead silent. There was no sound at all. This made me a little confused. If Old Immortal Chen wasn't at home at night, where was he going?
Thus, I walked towards his house.
However, the house was empty. There was no sign of Old Immortal Chen. Could it be that Old Immortal Chen's disappearance was related to the shadow that had been following me?
When I thought about it, I couldn't help but feel a little scared! I thought of leaving this place.
However, just as I walked out of Old Immortal Chen's room and came to the outer room, I immediately heard a slight sound coming from another room. Although the sound was not loud, it could be heard clearly in this silent night.
When I heard this sound, I couldn't help but feel my spirit shake. I thought, No wonder I didn't find Old Immortal Chen. He was in this room.
After knowing Old Immortal Chen's whereabouts, I felt that I was no longer that scared. Thus, I walked over and came to the door of the room. I slowly stretched out my hand.
Just as my hand was about to put it on the handle of the door and was about to open it, a faint sigh came from the other side of the door.
When I heard this sigh, I couldn't help but freeze on the spot. I heard it clearly. The sigh was actually made by a woman! However, how could there be a woman in Old Immortal Chen's room? After all, since Old Immortal Chen's wife died, Old Immortal Chen had never found another woman. Since that was the case, then what was going on with this sigh?
At this time, although my hand was already on the doorknob, I didn't dare to open the door in front of me no matter what.
However, standing here was not a solution! In the end, I had no other choice but to grit my teeth and push open the door.
At this moment, I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder from behind. My entire body could not help but shiver. Then, I quickly turned my head to look.
As I looked, I immediately discovered that Old Immortal Chen was standing behind me. Furthermore, he was holding a white candle to light up the room. The flickering flame on the candle reflected his yellowish face, making him look a little terrifying.
After Old Immortal Chen appeared behind me, I quickly said to him, "Immortal Master, you … Why are you here? Just now, I … I heard a sound in your room. I thought …"
Before I could finish speaking, Old Immortal Chen said indifferently, "That's because you heard wrongly! I was here all along, it's just that you didn't see me. Also, did you bring something along with you?"
"What is it?"
Hearing Old Immortal Chen's words, I couldn't help but feel puzzled. From the beginning to the end, I was the only one who came to Old Immortal Chen's house. I didn't bring anything in!
Seeing me like this, Old Immortal Chen no longer asked me. Instead, she looked outside and said coldly, "The third lamp of the night has come uninvited! I wonder what business do you have with me, this little disciple?"
Hearing Old Immortal Chen, I couldn't help but feel that it was very strange. Because at this moment, there were only two of us in front of me. Not to mention the third person, even if it was the third shadow...
Just as I thought of this, I didn't have the time to continue thinking. Suddenly, I found that on a wall in front of me, a shadow of a person had appeared out of nowhere. Moreover, it was a woman's shadow!
When I saw this situation, I was so scared that I stood on the spot. It seemed that the one who made the sound was this woman's shadow. I just didn't know when she appeared here. Moreover, Old Immortal Chen said that she followed me in, so why didn't I notice it at all?
Looking at the shadow, Old Immortal Chen said coldly, "There are people and there are ghosts. The road leads to the heavens, so go your own way! Seeing that you didn't hurt my little disciple, I won't bother with you today. Now, I'll burn a cauldron of incense for you. After you finish eating the incense, hurry up and leave! Otherwise, my little disciple's father will deal with you. "
As she spoke, Old Immortal Chen didn't say anything more. She turned around and took out a small bowl from the cupboard, then placed some grains of rice and grains of rations in the bowl, then lit three incense sticks. Then, she placed the three incense sticks in the small bowl.
As soon as the three incense sticks were inserted into the small bowl, it was as if a person who had a lot of energy had finished smoking a cigarette in one breath. In just a few seconds, the three incense sticks were burned out, but the ashes were still standing there, not falling down.
Seeing this scene, I also looked at the scene in front of me in shock.
After the three incense sticks were burned out, the shadow on the wall also disappeared!
Although my father had told me before that Old Immortal Chen had some ability, I never thought that he would have such a trick.
After seeing this, I was finally convinced of Old Immortal Chen's character.
It was only at this moment that Old Immortal Chen couldn't help but ask me, "Fann, did you encounter something on the way here?"
"What happened?"
Hearing Old Immortal Chen's question, I felt puzzled. After thinking about it carefully, I couldn't think of anything wrong.
Thinking about it, I suddenly remembered the footsteps behind me and could not help but tell Old Immortal Chen about it.
After hearing my answer, Old Immortal Chen nodded and said, "That's right! It must be that thing that followed you all the way here. Fortunately, she came to me. If it was someone else's house, they wouldn't have left so easily!"
After hearing Old Immortal Chen's words, I nodded my head.
Old Immortal Chen looked at the time and said to me, "Alright, it's getting late. You should quickly enter the coffin and rest!"
He paused for a moment before saying to me, "When you came here, your father must have told you that as long as you enter this coffin, no matter what happens before dawn, you can't agree to anything or come out of the coffin. Otherwise, your soul will be easily taken away!"
After saying that, he handed me something.
I looked down and saw that it was actually a feather on the tail of a chicken.
Old Immortal Chen said to me, "You can keep this chicken tail for now. If there are any people who want to do something to you tonight, you can use this chicken tail to prick them and make sure that they won't dare to do anything to you!"
After hearing Old Immortal Chen's words I nodded my head and crawled into the coffin.
After turning around and looking at Old Immortal Chen, he laid down in the coffin. In other words, from now on, I can't get up or talk anymore.
After Old Immortal Chen saw my eyes rolling around, he said to me, "Don't worry, I will sleep in the room. Also, I won't close the door tonight! In addition, leave this candle here for you to light up."
As he spoke, he placed the candle on the edge of the coffin, turned around, and left.
I have never slept in a coffin before. Thus, I just laid there quietly, unable to fall asleep no matter what. It could be said that I didn't dare to sleep at all! I was afraid that once I closed my eyes, something chaotic would appear in front of me.
Gradually, I heard Old Immortal Chen's deep snoring. It seemed that Old Immortal Chen had already fallen asleep.
Hearing his even breathing, a wave of fatigue came over my mind, causing me to unconsciously close my eyes.
This situation was much better than when Wang Sicheng and the others were guarding the corpses. After all, Old Immortal Chen was resting in a room not far away from me.
Thinking about this, I slowly closed my eyes and fell asleep.
I didn't know how long I had slept for, but I suddenly felt a wave of coldness around me, waking me up from my sleep.
I opened my eyes in a daze and looked around. Only then did I remember that I was still in the coffin. Moreover, the sky outside was still dark. The candle beside Old Immortal Chen's coffin was still burning.
It seemed that I didn't sleep for long. However, this was also very normal. If it was anyone else sleeping in the coffin, they definitely wouldn't be able to sleep soundly.
At this moment, I suddenly realized that there seemed to be something extending out from the candle!
