Chapter 62: Ghost Tooth Powder

  But even though the coffin lid was closed, the crimson coffin still looked eerie. The most eerie thing was that young man, at this moment, he knelt in front of the coffin and couldn't stop laughing.

  But inside the house, there were waves of mournful crying sounds. I seemed to hear a woman shouting: "I'm so cold, so cold."

  The old man pulled out a broom and whipped the door of the house, which was still emitting a faint red aura. He then turned to me and said, "He's been possessed by vengeful spirits and his mind is clouded. We must hurry and pull him out, otherwise the evil energy will enter his body and he'll be beyond saving."

  When I said this, I saw the old man's face was a bit strange. Before I could react, he rushed into the house. Almost instantly, the crying in the room became even more heart-wrenching. The old man rushed towards the young man kneeling on the ground, grabbed his arm and dragged him out.

  What I couldn't have imagined was that as soon as I left the door, Coffin Old suddenly fell to the ground with a thud. I was stunned, and when I looked down at Coffin Old, his face was rapidly turning white, just like a dead person.

  As soon as I saw him fall, I quickly bent down and pulled him up. But at this time, the old coffin suddenly grabbed my arm tightly and said to me: "You don't need to take care of me, hurry up and leave."

  I stared at the old coffin in confusion and asked: "What does it mean?"

  "The old coffin said: 'No time to explain, hurry up and leave, I won't survive.'"

  After he finished speaking, the old coffin gave me a push with all his might, but he was too weak and his strength was really small. With a push from him, my body didn't move at all. I ignored the old coffin, grabbed his arm with one hand, and grabbed the young man with the other, pulling the two of them to run downstairs.

  As soon as I ran out, I heard the sound of a coffin lid opening behind me, accompanied by a rubbing sound of bones. This sound was very familiar to me, because when I was with the hanging corpse old man, I had heard it many times. That sound was exactly what the corpses made when they moved.

  I quickly took the two of them and ran out of the house, not looking back. I ran all the way downstairs and then pulled the two of them to run a long distance before stopping. Turning my head back, I saw that the house was already far behind us.

  And in front of that house, at this moment, a figure was standing still, facing our direction. I couldn't help but frown, but ignored it and looked down at the old coffin instead.

  At this moment, the old man's face turned white, his lips turned purple, and his whole body was shaking. This is clearly a sign of poisoning.

  I took another look at the old man's hand in the coffin and found that he had a strip of cloth tied around it. Below the position of the cloth, the skin was almost black. This cloth obviously blocked blood circulation, and the old man handled it very promptly.

  I'm baffled - if the snake venom has been neutralized, why are the signs of poisoning on his body still so obvious? And why did it act so quickly?

  Seeing the coffin old man's body shaking non-stop, I couldn't help but feel anxious and said to the coffin old man: "Hold on, I'll help you detoxify immediately."

  At this time, the coffin old man grasped my arm again with great force. I saw that his mouth moved, but no sound came out. So I bowed my head and heard the coffin old man say: "Everyone has their own fate, mine is like this, you don't have to bother."

  I looked into the old man's eyes in the coffin, and saw that he was staring at me dead, his head shaking slightly. I didn't understand what he meant by this sentence, so I asked again: "Why did you say that?"

  "The coffin maker said, 'What you sow is what you reap, this is called the law of cause and effect. My fate has reached its end, if you save me, it would be going against heaven's will and I would suffer retribution.'"

  I couldn't help but curse: "What a load of nonsense, what a bunch of rubbish."

  As I spoke, I grabbed the coffin old man's arm that had been bitten by a snake. Then, I was stunned again. The coffin old man's arm was now rotten beyond recognition, and there was a black aura floating above it.

  "Hehe." Beside me, the young man suddenly started laughing again. I turned my head to look at him, and he stared back at me with a blank expression, motionless.

  I was annoyed for a moment, and directly punched the young man's neck with one punch. His body softened and he fainted.

  Looking back, I found that the coffin old man was staring at me with a pair of eyes, his mouth moving. I leaned down and heard the voice of the coffin old man again: "The snake that bit me is not an ordinary snake, it's a resentful snake transformed from resentment. On the surface, I was poisoned by the snake, but in fact, I was invaded by resentment. You don't have to bother, I've said it before, my life ends here."

  I pushed his old hand away and said to him: "Just consider me as going against heaven."

  As I spoke, I glanced in the direction of the house and found that the person standing in front of it was still motionless. I didn't pay attention to him anymore. Then I put down my backpack, took out what I needed, and arranged them in a row.

  I took out the Soul-Cutting Knife and lightly slashed it on the coffin's old arm that was bitten by a snake. In an instant, a thick black blood gushed out from his arm. The blood looked just like ink.

  At this moment, the old man in the coffin was calm, silently staring at me, but no longer struggling.

  Next, I used the Soul-Cutting Knife to make a cut on the old coffin's shoulder. Then, I took out a silver needle and stabbed it deep into the old coffin's arm. Finally, the most important thing has appeared - the Ghost Tooth.

  This Ghost Tooth Powder is specially used to resolve corpse poison and resentment. At this time, I sneaked a peek at the old coffin, and found him looking at me with an incredulous expression. I didn't talk to him, and continued doing my own thing.

  I took out the ghost tooth powder and directly poured it into the incision on Coffin Old's shoulder. In an instant, the ghost tooth powder merged with Coffin Old's blood and disappeared without a trace. At the same time, Coffin Old's arm, which had silver needles inserted, suddenly bulged with one package after another. Those packages were rapidly expanding, with a risk of bursting.

  And where the silver needle was inserted, a stream of crimson gas kept emerging from the place where the silver needle was inserted.

  Look again at the lower end of Coffin Old's arm, where he was bitten by the snake. At this moment, that position is constantly oozing black blood. And Coffin Old's arm, from his shoulder down, is gradually fading away to black.

  I'm already drenched in sweat, but my hands haven't stopped. Suddenly, I take out two silver needles and hold one in each hand. Then, holding the silver needles, I stab at the bulging packages on the old man's arm in the coffin.

  Almost as soon as the silver needle was inserted, those packages burst like balloons.

  I don't know how long it took, but I carefully removed the silver needles one by one, put them away, and then packed everything up and put it in my backpack. After that, I sat down nonchalantly as if nothing had happened, and pulled out something to eat.

  On the ground, that coffin at this moment looked like a fool, its two eyeballs staring at me without letting go. I moved a little, and his eyeballs also moved with me.

  I couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong with you, old man? Got eye problems?"

  The coffin maker shuddered and weakly said: "No, I'm fine."

  I no longer bothered with him, but continued eating my food. After finishing my meal, I took out the ghost tooth powder again and let the coffin old man eat a little more. Because I was just completely removing the resentment from his arm, but it's hard to guarantee that there won't be any other resentment in his body.

  After eating the ghost tooth powder, the coffin old man couldn't stop farting and hiccuping. This old fellow kept complaining that the ghost tooth powder tasted too strange, just like licking his own teeth with his tongue.

  I didn't bother with him, seeing that his complexion had improved, I walked towards the young man. At this moment, the young man seemed to have also been possessed by resentment, and his skin all over his body was a purplish color, although it wasn't very deep. I took out some ghost tooth powder and fed him a bit, then ignored him again.

  Next, I lay down on the grass and fell asleep in a daze. When I woke up, it was already broad daylight. Nothing else happened that night after we left the house.

  As soon as I woke up, my first glance couldn't help but look at that house. Even in the daytime, the house still looked gloomy. I didn't expect that so many things would happen last night, and I couldn't help but sigh.

  I looked at the old man in the coffin again and found that he had woken up early. At this moment, he was sitting on the ground in a daze. He suddenly raised his head and looked at me with an extremely strange expression: "Can you tell me what kind of person you are?"

  I looked at the old coffin and fell silent for a while before saying: "It's unnecessary now, just treat me as a stranger."

  I was also very curious about the strange things that Coffin Old Man said last night. But at this moment, I decided to suppress my curiosity. Coffin Old Man saw me being silent and nodded, not asking again.

  The young man also woke up. After waking up, he inexplicably looked around and kept asking what was going on.

  We didn't pay attention to him and walked towards the house. After all, it was daytime, even the most evil ghost wouldn't dare to come out and do evil during the day. When we entered the house, everything inside had returned to normal, except for an eerie silence.

  We arrived at the second floor and saw that the blood-red coffin was indeed in the young man's room. At that moment, I saw the old man's face change greatly, with boundless resentment. Probably thinking of last night's events, this old fellow felt wronged.

  And the young man on the side was so scared that his whole body was trembling.

  I saw the coffin suddenly catch fire, so I voluntarily stepped aside and let him handle it. The old man immediately called out to the young people to find someone to carry the coffin away.

  Finally, the coffin was brought out and carried into the sunlight. At a glance, I knew what was going on - he was preparing to blast the coffin, directly annihilating the ghost inside. However, this was very dangerous, if not handled properly, it could lead to a backlash.

  Moreover, directly blasting it off, wanting to scatter the ghost's soul in the coffin is extremely damaging to one's moral integrity. As soon as I saw the old man like this, I knew that he had been completely driven mad.

  In his words, he should have been a dead man yesterday, why bother about so much now.

  Finally, when the coffin was blown open, something went wrong. The coffin suddenly let out a mournful howl, and then the lid of the coffin actually opened. Due to the scorching sun, black air was emanating from all over the inside of the coffin.

  And from that coffin, a woman suddenly crawled out and desperately pounced on the old man in the coffin. I saw that the woman had also gone completely mad.
