Deadly Forbidden Tomb - C65
Before opening the restaurant, I had thought about many things, whether they were terrifying or shocking, and I was prepared for them. However, never in my dreams would I expect such a situation to occur. For a moment, I was scared silly.
No one could keep their cool about this matter. It was fine to carve a name on the tombstone, but the problem was that when he opened the coffin lid, he saw his own corpse. This degree of shock was simply indescribable.
Digging into the grave and digging up his own corpse, just thinking about this made his scalp tingle.
The strangest thing was, whether it was the time it took for the tomb to be erected, or the degree of decay of the coffin, it was obvious that the tomb was more than 20 years old. The question was, why was the corpse inside a grave that was over twenty years old preserved so well?
Other than his pale face, there was no difference between him and a living person.
The only difference was that the clothes were a little old-fashioned. I wasn’t the only one shocked by the corpse in the coffin. The man in the suit was so shocked that he couldn’t even close his mouth. He looked at me, then looked at the corpse in the coffin, and repeated this action several times.
“What’s going on? “You and this corpse …”
The man in the suit pointed to the body, then to me.
I swallowed my saliva and wiped off my cold sweat. After calming myself down with great difficulty, I stepped forward to examine the corpse within the coffin once more. In terms of appearance, the body in the coffin was exactly the same as mine, like a twin. If we were lying there in the same clothes, it would be hard for anyone to tell if it was real or fake.
The big difference was that I was alive and he was long dead.
I don’t know what this means, nor do I know what relation the corpse in the coffin has to me, nor do I know why there is a corpse that looks like me in the coffin.
The same grave, the same name, the same birth date, even the same appearance.
Who was this corpse? Is it really me? If it’s me, then who am I?
The more I thought about it, the more confused I became. For a moment, it was as if my head was filled with paste.
Third Uncle said that the things buried in the grave would allow me to protect myself and escape calamity. Could it be that he was referring to this corpse? Putting aside the history of the corpse, how can a corpse that can’t even move help me escape calamity?
As I was thinking, I saw a wooden box lying under the corpse’s head. It looked like a pillow, placed just behind the body’s head.
“Large… Master, go and open that box. ” I shouted.
“There’s something strange about this corpse. I don’t dare to go. If you want to go, go by yourself!”
The man in the suit said and actually took a few steps back. Then, he crossed his arms and looked like he was about to eat the crowd.
I hated him so much that my teeth itched, but I couldn’t do anything about it. Even if the suited man didn’t say anything, I still knew that there was something wrong with this corpse. It had been sealed away for more than 20 years, so it would be weird if it was normal.
I wondered if this thing was a zombie or something, and as soon as I got close, he opened his mouth and sucked my blood with his sharp fangs. For a moment, my mind was filled with all kinds of horrifying images. Before I could even get close, I was already frightened out of my wits.
But then he thought, this is what Third Uncle told me. No matter what, Third Uncle wouldn’t screw me over.
Thinking of this, I mustered my courage and jumped back into the pit. Then, I slowly extended my hand towards the corpse’s head. In his heart, he was praying that he would never open his eyes.
I didn’t dare to make too much of a move. I held the corpse’s head with one hand and pulled out the wooden box with the other.
By the time I was done, I was sweating again and nervous.
With the wooden box in my hand, I climbed up the hole as fast as I could. I didn’t even dare to go down to pick up my shoes.
Upon seeing the wooden box, the man in the suit ran over eagerly. He rubbed his hands together and looked at the box with shining eyes. He urged, “Quick, open it and take a look!”
“Why don’t you come?”
I handed him the wooden box, and he stepped back, embarrassed, and beckoned me over.
He was afraid of even a wooden box, how useless!
My hands were trembling as I swallowed my saliva. With narrowed eyes, I carefully opened the wooden box. The wooden box was not locked, so he gently opened it to reveal his true appearance. When I got a clear look at the contents of the wooden box, I couldn’t help but be a little surprised.
Other than a letter, there was nothing else in the wooden box.
He opened the envelope and saw a simple sentence: “Feeding the corpse with a child’s blood can reverse yin and yang.”
I was a little confused. After working so hard to dig up soil for half a day, I only got such a line?
Didn’t they say that some incredible treasure would allow me to escape calamity?
I started to take a closer look at the box to see if there were any hidden traps. After knocking and beating for a while, I finally got the fact that this wooden box was only used for keeping the letter, and that there was nothing else.
It took me half a day to get a letter, and I was disappointed by the result. He had originally thought that it would be best if he could kill that monster in the half jar if he gave me something powerful. That way, he would be able to escape this calamity.
Even if there isn’t such a powerful treasure, at least I should be able to protect myself, right? It would be fine to just get a few powerful Talisman Paper s, or something like that that could hide ghosts like a red umbrella. After all, there was nothing for him to do. There was only a letter. Wasn’t it a little too shabby?
Third Uncle said that this grave was erected by an expert who could defy the heavens and change fate. How could such an expert leave behind only a single sentence for me to save my life?
The most helpless thing is, these words are said so clearly, I still don’t understand what it means.
“Feeding a corpse with a child’s blood can reverse yin and yang.”
Looking at the envelope, I repeated this line. At this moment, the man in the suit also came closer. When he saw the envelope, his expression turned strange. It was only after a long while that he said, “Fortunately, you didn’t break your body. Otherwise, it would really be troublesome.”
“What do you mean? This has something to do with me? ” I don’t understand.
“Of course it’s related to you!”
The man in the suit pointed at the envelope and explained, “This grave is very strange. Even I can’t tell what it is. It’s obvious that this is the work of a master. And this master was one who could steal destiny and change fate. Today, there were very few people who could do this. If my guess is not wrong, this expert is one of the people who laid down the Yin Yang Great Array. ”
“Wait! What you mean is that the Yin Yang Twin Great Array is set up by an extra person? ” I asked.
The man in the suit rolled his eyes. “Isn’t that nonsense!?” You brat, you don’t know shit, but you certainly don’t know how powerful the Yin Yang Great Array is. This Seal Great Formation is rarely seen in the world, it can seal all demons and devils. Just by one person’s strength, it’s impossible to complete this Great Formation! ”
I didn’t mind. “If it’s that powerful, why would the things in the well still come out and cause trouble?”
“This is a long story. I can only tell you that many years ago, when we were setting up the Yin Yang Great Array, an accident occurred. This is why a series of things happened. However, right now, none of this is important.”
The man in the suit explained, “The main point is, those who are able to participate in setting up the Yin Yang Great Array are all talented people or are at the top of their ranks. If everyone were to throw out their name, it would create a huge uproar. The person who laid the grave for you is this kind of powerful person. Although I don’t know too much about it, I’m sure that you have some sort of connection with the entire matter. This letter is for you. The boy’s blood referred to in the letter is your blood! ”
After a pause, the man in the suit continued, “If I’m not wrong, this letter is for you to feed the body with blood. And the real thing that will ensure your safety is not this letter, but this corpse that looks exactly like you! ”
As the man in the suit said this, I felt that it made a little bit of sense.
The life-saving method that third uncle mentioned cannot be just a letter. It seems that this corpse that has the same appearance as me is the real thing that can help me escape calamity.
Only then did I remember that the other day, including the man in the suit, I had been asked if I was a boy. After a while, I realized it had something to do with the body. This corpse needed the blood of a child to be fed. In other words, if it wasn’t for the blood of a child, it wouldn’t have any effect.
No wonder the Blind Grandma wanted me to become a Yin Kin and even used Paper Man Xiao Yue to try to break through my body. After all this time, she actually had such a plan.
At this thought, I suddenly felt a sense of dread.
Could it be that since then, someone has set up a trap for me? Or perhaps, that person had already anticipated today’s situation and wanted to cut off my escape route and destroy the plot of the grave builder?
If that was the case, then wasn’t this person’s scheme too terrifying?
