C2303 Hanging Coffin

Brother Lin, once we pass the position of the Mausoleum Guard, we will enter the inner regions of the Boneyard. From here on out, danger lurks everywhere, and we need to be extra careful in dealing with it.

He hastily put the corpses of the Mausoleum Guardians that had been smashed by the Yin Yang Water Beasts into a grave. After putting away the corpses of the ancestors who had been guarding this place for at least a thousand years, Cheng Qu Wu's expression became serious as he warned with a deep voice.

Lin Bai slowly nodded. Although he did not respond, the wariness in his eyes clearly deepened. Actually, even without Cheng Wu's warning, he could feel the danger ahead. Although the message from the guardian was simple, there were still many things that made him ponder. It made him feel as if this burial ground was becoming more and more unfathomable.

What made Lin Bai even more confused was that the White Tiger's necropolis was, in terms of Feng Shui and Feng Shui, an absolutely murderous place. He simply couldn't understand just what kind of person would bury their own corpses in a place like this. Unless there was an absolutely irreconcilable hatred between them, they would absolutely not do such a crazy thing.

Even though he was doubtful, Lin Bai's footsteps were steady. He followed behind Cheng Wu and the old swindler, and under their lead, they slowly moved towards the depths of the Boneyard.

The mountain was twisting and turning in a strange manner. The further they went, the deeper that bone-chilling cold and desolation they felt.

And just as they passed by a valley, the scenery in front of their eyes abruptly changed. This strange scene caused Lin Bai to involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air, his eyes filled with shock.

At this moment, after the turn of the mountain path, what appeared in front of everyone was a sea of densely packed cliffs and precipices. And on those cliffs, there were countless densely packed coffins. Those coffins that had been carved out of some unknown wood stood erect on those cliffs like their mouths!

And what was even more strange was that although those floating coffins had been buried here for who knows how many years, the light from the pearls above the floating coffins seemed to spread out like a cloud of dust. They did not weaken after a long time, as if they would last forever!

"Suspended coffin, Earthly Immortal House, how is this possible …" As he stared at the shocking scene before him, even Lin Bai's breathing quickened as the look of disbelief on his face deepened.

Suspended coffin was a type of Chinese tomb culture, and it was also the most unfathomable special method. This kind of burial method for the floating coffins only existed within the borders of China, and it only existed at the southwest border of China!

This burial method with its rich cultural heritage, even today, still retains the mystery that modern people would not understand. For example, during the era of the floating coffins, what method did the people in the Ancient Era use to transport the coffins, which weighed several hundred kilograms, to the several hundred meter tall cliff?

The term "floating coffin" first appeared in the written records. It was Gu Ye Wang from the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It was also he who called the floating coffins in the Wu Yi Mountain the Earth Immortal's Residence. What he meant was that this was the burial ground for immortals. Immortals could ride on clouds and mist, and only immortals could place such a heavy object on a cliff.

There was even a record in the strange Chinese book "God of Alchemy" that there was a coffin resting on a cliff in Wuyi Mountain, Jianzhou, or on the eve of a storm.

The legend of the floating coffin was one of the few records of the death of a deity in the history of China. It had to be known that in the feudal era of the gods and kings, immortals were already a product of fantasy, while immortals, who were said to have transcended life and death, would actually die just like mortals. How inconceivable was this!

In the 1990s, experts from Tongji University in Shanghai, Jiangxi and other places, as well as some scholars from the University of California, worked together to break this rumor and to find out how the ancients had managed to do it. They used mechanical devices such as winches and pulleys to lift a three-hundred-pound coffin into a cliff cave in Guixi Xianyan, Jiangxi province.

With this experiment, these people claimed that they had solved the eternal mystery of the existence of the floating coffin. However, this assumption was actually out of the historical context of China. Back then, the winch and pulley were still far from being developed as they were now. This so-called experiment without strong evidence was really hard to believe.

However, for Lin Bai, at this very moment, what he was shocked about was not the means by which these floating coffins were transported to the top of the mountain. Rather, he was curious as to why these floating coffins would appear here!

It has to be said that a burial culture like the floating coffin only existed in some areas on the southwest border of China. But now, where were they? This was the northeastern border of China.

The object that originally only existed in the Southwest border had strangely appeared in the Northeast. According to Lin Bai's knowledge, since ancient times, in the Northeast region, there had never been such a tomb culture. This was even more surprising!

This phenomenon also indirectly explained why Lin Bai thought that the Boneyard was a place that someone had set up in order to take revenge on the Chou family. It could also mean that they had miscarried.

"Brother Lin, I didn't think that there would actually be a floating coffin in such a place!" A bitter smile appeared on his face as he slowly said, "When I first arrived at this place, I was also startled when I saw this floating coffin. If I wasn't sure that we were still in the northeast, then I would have suspected that we had arrived at the southwest border!"

Impossible, this place is too incredible! More and more, he felt that the degree of strangeness of this place, had already far surpassed his imagination. At this moment, he even had a premonition that perhaps the secrets hidden here were no less than that of the Karakorum Savant!

"Southwest direction, 50 meters away, there is movement!" It was at this moment that the old swindler, who had maintained an unprecedented state of silence throughout his journey, put on his previous cynical look and opened his mouth in a deep voice.

What did that mean? He was somewhat unable to understand what the old swindler's intentions were. Moreover, he also discovered that as the old swindler said these words, the expressions of Cheng Wu Dian and the Third Master of the Gesun Sect, who were by his side, actually became extremely nervous. They assumed a vigilant and alert posture as they turned their bodies to face the southwest!

Boom!" Before Lin Bai could even react to what had happened, from the top of a cliff in the southwest, a thunderous explosion suddenly resounded in his ears.

And after the thunder-like sound rang out, an incomparably sinister and cold aura suddenly appeared within the crowd's senses, causing them to feel as though the temperature around them had plummeted by several tens of degrees as their entire body turned ice-cold!

Lin Bai turned his head in the direction of the sound, only to see a coffin that was originally incomparably calm standing on the southwest cliff. Right now, the lid of the coffin seemed to have been directly blasted open by some immense force, the black coffin was like a cannonball, whizzing towards the crowd.

Damn it, why are there so many weird things in this damn place, could it be that there's someone hiding inside?! Staring at the coffin, Lin Bai's heart sank. Without any hesitation, he activated his Innate True Divine Force and prepared to face the incoming attack.

However, as far as Lin Bai was concerned, although the coffin board was swift and powerful, it did not seem like there was anything special about it. If the person hiding in this place wanted to use it to stop him, it would be a pipe dream.

"Brother Lin, be careful. This coffin is not as simple as you think!" Just as Lin Bai's thoughts were in flux, Cheng Wu seemed to have grasped Lin Bai's thoughts and warned him urgently.

What's so strange about that? Lin Bai's heart was moved when he heard Cheng Wu's words, but when he said those words, it was already too late. As he finished his sentence, Lin Bai released his Innate True Divine Art and smashed it into the coffin with a loud bang. The moment the two collided, wood shavings immediately flew everywhere and countless fragments covered the sky and the earth!

It was just a pile of rotten wood. As Lin Bai saw the result of his first strike, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease in his heart. He could only feel that Cheng Wu's warning was out of the ordinary. He actually thought that this method would make things difficult for him.

However, before Lin Bai could question Cheng Wu, the coffin suddenly burst open and a black light suddenly appeared from within the exploding coffin. It then pounced towards Lin Bai!

Even though the black light did not approach, Lin Bai was able to tell that the black light was clearly a human figure!

There was actually someone hidden inside the coffin? However, he did not show any worry on his face. From the looks of it, the place where the coffin had exploded was a hundred meters in the air. If it was really someone hiding behind the coffin, falling from the sky would likely take his life!

Boom!" However, due to Lin Bai's expectations, after the shadow landed on the ground, although it let out a muffled sound of flesh and blood colliding with the blunt weapon, it did not split open the skin like he expected.

As the dust and smoke scattered, a figure slowly straightened his back from within the dust!
