The two rounded bluestone steps stepped on in front of the main hall are very low from the ground, which seem to be only symbolic.
The two temple doors with mottled paint, most of the gray door panels have exposed the inner texture, dry cracks, and they are also half-open and half-covered at this time, blocking the shadows behind and inside the door.
Tantai Wutian didn't stop, he stepped into the hall in one step, followed by Zhou Feiyan.
The statue enshrined on the front of the main hall has collapsed, and the head has gone to nowhere, and only half of the golden body of the clay sculpture is still sitting on the altar.
A rancid smell mixed with the wet and fresh smell of the woods and the dusty mud smell of the ancient houses permeated the entire hall.
More than a dozen rows of coffins, two by two vertically filled the entire hall. Most of these coffins were made hastily with thin wooden boards, most of them were old, and some had rotted and disintegrated, exposing the pale, withered bones inside.
After all, Tantai Wutian and Zhou Feiyan are martial arts people, they are very courageous, and they don't care about the gloomy situation in the hall.
Tantai Wutian walked ahead, passed through several rows of coffins, and stopped in front of a coffin that looked very new.
Zhou Feiyan, who followed closely behind him, also stopped in front of the coffin almost simultaneously.
"This is Li Tietou's coffin?" Zhou Feiyan asked.
"Not bad." Tantai Wutian nodded.
"Then what are you waiting for, let's open it and have a look." Zhou Feiyan said.
Immediately afterwards, he bent down, trying to open the coffin lid.
"Wait." Tantai Wutian tugged at him, signaling him not to be reckless.
He walked to the broken altar¡ªalthough the altar was broken, there were still unlit candles on it¡ªhe took a candle, lit it with a torch, and put it on the altar again. The whole hall was illuminated by this weak light, and the light and shadow kept shaking with the shaking of the candlelight. The coffin, the shadow of the coffin, the hideous bones in the decayed coffin, and the shadow of the headless statue all kept shaking at this time Looking up, the entire hall against the background is more like a world where demons dance wildly.
Tantai Wutian didn't seem to feel this at all, and came to Zhou Feiyan's side calmly and said: "Although there may not be ghosts and gods, you must not completely disbelieve them."
Unlike Tantai Wutian, Zhou Feiyan is a member of the Taoist Xuanzong, who knows nothing about these things, so he asked him strangely: "Brother Tantai, what do you mean?"
Tantai Wutian glanced at the coffin in front of him and said: "Brother Zhou, you don't know something. If you want to open the coffin of a dead person, you must first light a candle and put it aside. It means that the dead are unwilling to open the coffin"
Zhou Feiyan glanced at the half of the candle on the altar, and said with a "chi": "Brother Tantai, when did you learn to play tricks like this and scare yourself?"
At this time, Tantai Wutian couldn't help but let out a "chuck" laugh, "Brother Zhou, I'd rather believe in something than in nothing, be careful to make the Wannian ship, let's open the coffin."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Tantai Wutian finished speaking, the flame of the candle on the altar suddenly jumped violently, and the palm he stretched forward couldn't help hesitatingly stopping in mid-air.
"I still don't believe in this evil!" Before Tantai Wutian could speak, Zhou Feiyan had already grasped the thin coffin lid of Li Tietou's coffin with both hands and exerted force, and the entire coffin lid flew out with a bang, onto the altar. The candle was blown by the wind that flew out of the coffin lid, and it went out directly.
Tantai Wutian and Zhou Feiyan looked into Li Tietou's coffin at the same time. It didn't matter that they saw it, and they both cried out "ah" almost at the same time.
It turned out that Li Tietou's coffin was empty, and there was no Li Tietou's body at all.
Tantai Wutian and Zhou Feiyan thought of various situations, but they didn't expect that there was no corpse in the coffin.
Where did Li Tietou's body go? Tantai Wutian and Zhou Feiyan looked at each other in blank dismay.
Tantai Wutian suddenly thought of the violent beating of the candle just now, and couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart. He thought of some fairy tales he had read in the library of Baihuaguan when he was a child, and immediately thought that Li Tietou had become a Zombie, opened the coffin and ran away, no, according to the beating of the candle just now, maybe it was watching the two of them in this hall waiting for an opportunity to make a move.
Thinking of this, he immediately looked around the hall nervously.
Zhou Feiyan was originally surprised that there was no corpse in Li Tietou's coffin, but now seeing Tantai Wutian's nervous expression, he couldn't help asking: "Brother Tantai, what's wrong, what's wrong?"
Tantai Wutian saw that because the candles in the hall were extinguished, every cornerIt was all hidden in the silent darkness, and I couldn't see anything. Hearing Zhou Feiyan's sudden question, he couldn't help being startled. He looked back at him in surprise and said, "Brother Zhou, what's wrong?"
Zhou Feiyan was even more strange. Looking at Tantai Wutian, he pointed to Li Tietou's empty coffin and said, "Brother Tantai, don't you find it strange that the coffin is empty?"
Tantai Wutian regained his composure, looked at the coffin again and said, "Brother Zhou, of course I find it strange"
"Could it be that Li Tietou is not dead?" Zhou Feiyan thought of this first.
"Impossible, the official inspection found that he had fatal injuries on the back of the head and chest, not to mention I checked before the official inspection, he is indeed not breathing, I'm sure he is dead." Tantai Wutian shook his head , said with certainty.
"Could it be that his body wasn't brought to the Yizhuang, did you read it wrong before?" Zhou Feiyan asked again.
Tantai Wutian bent down to look at the head of the coffin, then straightened up, pointed to the three white characters on the head of the coffin and said to Zhou Feiyan: "Brother Zhou, look"
Zhou Feiyan bent down and took a look. The three white characters on the head of the coffin were clearly "Li Tietou". These white characters on the coffin were for the convenience of the relatives who claimed the coffin when they wanted to bury the body in the future. And the words "Li Tietou" indicated that the corpse in this coffin belonged to Li Tietou, so there was nothing wrong with what Tantai Wutian saw before.
Although it proved that what he saw was Li Tietou's body being carried to Yizhuang, Tantai Wutian was not happy. On the contrary, looking at Zhou Feiyan, the two looked at each other and felt even more strange.
"If he really died, and the body was indeed carried here in this coffin, then what's going on?" Zhou Feiyan asked even more strangely, as if he was asking Tantai Wutian, but He knew that Tantai Wutian might not know the answer, so he seemed to be talking to himself.
"Could it be a fraudulent corpse?" Tantai Wutian said, feeling as if a cold wind was blowing on him.
When it comes to fraudulent corpses, Zhou Feiyan also understands what is going on. He has also heard stories about fraudulent corpses and zombies from the older generation, but he has never seen such things, so he does not believe in such things. The presence.
