Chapter 62: Crystal Coffin

  Watching someone next to me kill another person, I don't know what words to use to describe this feeling, it feels like my heart has been suddenly hollowed out. It's exactly this feeling, the sunglasses-wearing man threw his dagger on the ground, took a light breath and said to me: "You calm down a bit, okay? I'm also killing someone for the first time, you see how calm I am, you're just stunned."

  "Alright, shades guy, I'm speechless. I guess next time I'll be better." I don't know what to say either.

  "One side is going, and there's still next time. Do you think killing people is a common meal? If he hadn't hurt Xiao Rou, I would have let him go." The sunglasses hero took off his glasses again and wiped them clean, saying to me, "We cultivators are inherently kind, those who must be killed are definitely evil people."

  "Although I'm not very strong on the concept of good and evil, I think Ou Yang Jue is absolutely not a good person. Now that it's come to this, if he were to live, who knows what kind of disaster he would become in the future?" Although Mo Jian had been a bit cold-blooded when killing Ou Yang Jue just now, I knew he was also feeling a bit uneasy inside. After all, that was a human life!

  "Hmm!" Seeing me say that, the sunglasses-wearing guy nodded, "Now we start looking for Xiao Rou. You've been here before, so you should be familiar with this place."

  I said I understand, this side is a pool, a pretty strange pool, and on the other side there's a coffin. The sunglasses guy said we don't need to look at this side, it's impossible that there's anything, let's just go straight to the coffin side. Along the way, the sunglasses guy came in front of Ouyang Ju again. He used both hands to gently close Ouyang Ju's eyes and then laid him down on the ground.

  I asked him: "Why don't you go to the swimming pool?"

  He said to me, "You're a curious guy, aren't you? There's a pool of water in the cave. The strange phenomenon will create illusions and hallucinations. The spiritual energy of this dead land is so bad that neither demons nor humans would choose to be there."

  As I listened to Mò Jìng Xiá (Ink Glasses Hero) say these things, I felt that my knowledge had reached a new level. Moreover, I feel that Ink Glasses Hero seems to understand even more than Xiao Rou.

  I followed what he said, and directly took the road that didn't lead to the pool. I turned around immediately, and on the way, I asked: "Brother Mojingxiao, I have a question for you, what's your background? You're not just a cultivator of demonic beasts, are you?"

  "Sunglasses hero glared at me and said: 'You little guy finally got smart, I not only practice Gu worms, but also study the current Taoism and heterodox spirits. You can simply understand it as a polymath. My grandfather was Mr. Yin Yang, my father was also a grave robber, of course, grave robbing is just his hobby. His most powerful thing is Gu worms! There's a saying that goes: 'The Dragon King's son will float on water', and I naturally inherited my father's will.'"

  "What a complicated background." I'm a bit confused, but I think it's good that it's mysterious.

  We continued to walk towards another fork in the road, and that chill swept over me once again. Then I heard a faint voice calling my name, at which point the sunglasses-wearing guy slapped the back of my head with his palm. It hurt so much! I asked him why he hit me. He told me I almost fell into an evil trap, and that I should thank him for the slap.

  Although I felt a bit helpless, I didn't want to say anything else. However, as I looked at the increasingly familiar road, I suddenly became a little afraid to move forward. Mo Jing Xiang saw that something was off about me and asked in confusion: "Xiao Long, what are you afraid of? Is it the corpse inside the coffin?"

  "I...I don't know." Actually, I was just afraid of the corpse in the coffin that looked like me, but I didn't want to say it.

  "Do you still remember the heart demon? Don't let the plot repeat itself again, resentment comes from the voice of the heart, don't be afraid." The sunglasses-wearing hero put his hand on my shoulder to comfort me at this time.

  "Uh-huh!" I nodded.

  I continued to walk shoulder-to-shoulder with the sunglasses-wearing man, and soon we arrived at that area. It was just like before, I could hear the sound of water droplets dripping. And there was a white coffin sitting in the center of this area! What's different from before is that the lid of the coffin has been merged with the coffin itself, apart from that, there's nothing else unusual.

  The sunglasses-wearing hero placed the golden cicada on the ground and released a large tortoise, letting it crouch at the entrance. He then tapped his shell a few times. Afterwards, with a serious expression, he came before me and said: "Xiao Rou is right here."

  "Right here?" I was puzzled, because this space wasn't very big. And nothing particularly unusual had been found.

  The sunglasses-wearing hero nodded and said to me: "Yes, this big turtle is a hundred-year-old divine turtle, it won't deceive people."

  I didn't say anything else, because I believed in the sunglasses hero, and we started searching along this side. But nothing was found, and finally we all cast our eyes on that white coffin.

  The sunglasses-wearing hero rested his chin on his hand and muttered: "It can't be inside here, right?"

  "How is it possible?"

  Although I also think Xiaorou's chances in this white coffin are a bit high, but I just don't want to admit it. Because the inside of this coffin is airtight, if Xiaorou is really in here, then she must be in grave danger.

  I and the sunglasses hero have now arrived at the side of this coffin, the sunglasses hero looked at some weeds on the ground and said to me: "This is really a strange place, such a cold place can grow green plants, it's unbelievable."

  "Yes, I felt something was strange when Xiaorou and I came here!" I replied.

  "Right now, hand over the ancient bronze sword to me. I want to open this coffin and take a look inside. I'm really curious whether the person inside is you or not," said the sunglasses-wearing hero as he stretched out his hand towards me.

  I grunted and handed the ancient bronze sword to him. He still said to me as before, "Then you'd better get out of my way, or I'll splatter fresh blood all over you."

  He took the ancient bronze sword and didn't directly lift the coffin, but instead used the ancient bronze sword to knock a few times around the coffin. At that time, I heard several hollow sounds coming from inside, "Bang!" "Bang!".

  I didn't go ask Masked Rider directly, afraid of disturbing him, but I'm wondering, what does he mean? Is he going to be an archaeologist?

  "Whoa!" The sunglasses hero was getting a bit excited at this point.

  "What's going on?" I asked him. He took off the sunglasses in his eyes and said to me, "This is a crystal coffin."

  "What does it mean? What is a crystal coffin?" I asked.

  "This is a special material, the crystal material used to make gems. Once this material forms a coffin, it will keep the corpse inside from decaying. Our Chairman Mao knew about it, he was buried in one, that's why his body still looks good today. This white coffin is made of the same material!" The sunglasses-wearing man said while continuously stroking the coffin with his hand.

  Now that you mention it, I seem to understand what's going on. No wonder the corpse inside was so well-preserved earlier. So that's how it is. I blurted out: "Is it very valuable?" Because of the sky-high price of ancient bronze swords, I naturally thought of this.

  "Did you fall into the money pit? This has nothing to do with price. The special material that makes up this coffin, and the fact that it was transported all the way here to this cave, must mean there's a shocking secret involved."

  "Whatever, whatever secrets there are, I'm going to open it. If it's a crystal coffin, then Xiao Rou..." The Masked Swordsman placed the ancient bronze sword on top of the coffin lid, ready to pry it open.

  But just as he was about to put the ancient bronze sword on it, we heard the sound of gurgling water. At that moment, both I and the sunglasses knight were stunned, and I involuntarily looked down at my feet, a stream of red liquid flowed out from around the coffin.

  "It's blood!" I shouted out, because I had experience for the first time. I was very clear that this coffin bled again!

  The sunglasses-wearing hero's expression was serious, and he pushed me to one side while handing over the golden Gu. He said: "Little Dragon, this coffin is really ominous. You hold my Gu and stand beside the Big Turtle King. If anything unusual happens, you directly open the lid of the Gu."

  "But..."

  "Come on, hurry up." The sunglasses guy was getting impatient and had already stretched out his leg. It looked like if I didn't leave soon, he would kick me with his foot. I quickly dodged to the side, not wanting to be kicked by him again because this guy's kicks were really painful...
