He, Yang Guijin, has been in a state of turmoil for years due to his parents' incident. Lao Chu has always had strong reservations about him. The previous time, it was even more obvious, and he almost chased him away.
This time, the enmity in his eyes was even more pronounced.
However, he did not actually kick him out. Instead, he said, "Taking your time, you've finally come."
I furrowed my brow slightly, but I felt that Lao Chu's words were off, and there was some hidden meaning.
He seemed to be waiting for me to come!?
Then, Lao Chu glanced at Si Yan, the female monk, and then at Xiaoqi.
"Supervisor of the monastery?" Lao Chu mumbled again.
I nodded.
"Come in." Lao Chu actually pushed open the door.
At that moment, I felt even more uneasy.
However, I still followed inside.
Si Yan and Xiaoqi followed suit, entering the premises.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, my pupils constricted.
In the center of the courtyard, there stood a coffin.
This coffin was extremely unique. At a glance, the wood of the sides and the front cover were not all the same color.
There was a very long and large talisman pasted on the top of the coffin.
"Ghost sheep." Lao Chu approached a door and knocked twice firmly.
Immediately, the door opened.
The person who stepped out of the door wasn't none other than the Young Master Yang?!
The Young Master Yang looked just as drowsy, but the next second, his expression brightened!
"Appearance of the divine nephew!"
My face changed color again, but I still responded with a sound.
The Young Master Yang hurriedly went to the adjacent room and knocked twice on the door.
The person who stepped out of the room was the rotund leader!
The leader looked at me and his tiny beady eyes sparkled with joy!
"Haha! Xianshen, I knew you'd come as soon as possible!" The leader was genuinely pleased, and his voice was particularly cheerful.
However, the next second, the leader saw Si Yan and his plump face slightly tensed up.
Si Yan's gaze, however, fell on the coffin in the center.
Her dark eyebrows were furrowed, giving an air of contemplation.
I coughed out a mouthful of phlegm and smiled wryly on my face.
"Leader, I honestly don't understand what's going on. I thought you all were in trouble."
The leader and the Young Master Yang then stepped down from the courtyard to my presence.
As for Lao Chu, he remained silent and went back to another room.
"Hmm, after all, it's a case of being forced to go along with things." The Young Master Yang also sighed and smiled bitterly.
Then, he opened up and began to talk.
I handed Han Qiu to him that day, asking him to find a way to revive her, and he arranged several highly skilled and powerful ghost aunts.
As soon as Han Qiu woke up, they were attacked.
The attackers came from the Ghost Altar!
Han Qiu's soul was also shaken, and it was almost dispersed.
In order to ensure safety, they had to cut off all contact and leave with Han Qiu, hiding away.
Ultimately, they chose the house of his older brother, Yang Guijin.
Why didn't they contact me directly, it was also because they were afraid that the Ghost Altar would secretly follow.
After all, those non-human, non-god things use means that are too treacherous and harmful, no one knows who is on the other end of the phone.
The leader believed that after I returned, I would definitely do everything in my power to find them, and as expected, although I was a bit late, I had finally come.
I finally understood.
The leader's face was full of smiles. He pointed to the coffin in the middle of the courtyard and then said in a solemn voice: "Originally, it was the Ghost Sheep preparing the coffer for his elder brother. The five ghost trees were used, which have extraordinary effects in nourishing souls and preserving corpses. For now, we will let Han Qiu Dao Long use it to preserve corpses."
I nodded.
The coffer itself is a commonly used item for the elderly in one's family.
I still felt that something was off……
There's nothing wrong with the Young Master Yang or the leader here.
Where is Daichu?
And……Zhang Xu?!
Zhang Xu came running after me, but then he disappeared without a trace...
Si Yan seemed to have forgotten about Zhang Xu, and she placed one hand on the coffin.
There was a soft hum, and the talisman paper on the coffin tightened against the surface of the coffin……
The next moment, the coffin trembled slightly.
"Xianshen, you seem to be a bit off. What's wrong?" The leader noticed that my expression was unusual.
I closed my eyes slightly and opened them again, with a furrowed brow.
I glanced at the courtyard gate with my peripheral vision and said in a hoarse voice, "Leader, this place isn't too safe either. Zhang Xu was the first to come, but he disappeared. That's why I went straight here after finding Lao Chu."
After I finished speaking, the leader's face immediately turned grim.
Do you mean that there are people from the Ghost Altar here already?
The leader's question immediately took precedence.
However, this also made my heart skip a beat.
Why was Han Qiu attacked?
It is evident that Sun Zhuo notified the Ghost Altar organization!
The leader and the others knew this, so they were hiding here.
However, they still couldn't avoid the Ghost Altar's relentless pursuit.
Is it possible...?
Is it possible that the people from the Ghost Altar just found their way here and encountered Zhang Xu?
So...Zhang Xu ended up in trouble instead?!
At that moment, Si Yan turned her head and her gaze fell on us.
Her dark eyebrows were furrowed.
"If it is as you say, then this matter is indeed worth pondering over."
"Why isn't Han Qiu here?" Si Yan said two different things in two sentences.
"It's not really intriguing, after all. The Ghost Altar is in opposition to the regulating monastery, and they wouldn't let go of any important person within the regulating monastery without a reason."
"As for Dao Long Han Qiu, he is nurturing a corpse. The talisman paper pasted on the surface of the coffin is the yinsha symbol. If you remove the talisman paper and interrupt his corpse nurturing, he will naturally wake up." The leader answered honestly.
Si Yan took a deep breath, and without hesitation, she reached out and directly tore off the talisman from the surface of the coffin.
Simultaneously, she said, "None of you should leave this courtyard. If there are people from the Ghost Altar here, things will become very troublesome. We need to go to a safer place as soon as possible!"
The instant she finished speaking, the lid of the coffin trembled again and fell directly down.
Inside the coffin, was Han Qiu!
At this moment, Han Qiu was wearing a clean and tidy Taoist robe, and his face was also clean.
The sunken wound on his chest had disappeared, leaving a smooth and flat surface.
To be honest, Han Qiu looked somewhat sinister and handsome at this moment.
The living corpse demon's ghostly aura, darkness, and a trace of Daoist's demeanor.
In the next second, Han Qiu's eyelids twitched slightly, and he opened his eyes.
The slightly reddened eyes made him look more alert!
Upon seeing Si Yan, Han Qiu's body trembled again.
"Sister..." His voice trembled slightly.
Han Qiu stepped out of the coffin, his expression full of joy!
Si Yan slightly breathed a sigh of relief. She nodded first, before saying, "There are changes in the regulating monastery. The haunted ghost at Qiu Village is at the gate. We cannot go back for the time being."
"This place has also seen some changes. Perhaps people from the Ghost Altar have come, and Uncle Zhang Xu may have gotten into trouble."
Han Qiu's face changed dramatically.
At this moment, Yang Gan Shi took a step forward slightly and whispered, "It is necessary to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, let's go first? Even if the Ghost Altar people follow, let them follow. Staying here will not be to our advantage if they surround us."
"It's the current situation……it's unlikely that we'll be able to handle Zhuang Xu Dao Long now…"
It was Han Qiu who shook his head, looking very serious but speaking with no doubt.
"No."
His eyebrows were furrowed, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
At this moment, Moqi suddenly raised her hand, and her fingers trembled slightly.
I faintly saw a trace of gray mist, which seemed to come from nowhere, swirling around Moqi's fingers.
"Ah…" Moqi suddenly felt a bit flustered!
"What's wrong?" I immediately looked towards Moqi.
"It's nothing... I'm fine..." Moqi tried to calm down her expression, but it was too forced, and it was obvious that there was something wrong.
