Soul-eating Golden Coffin - C22
Just when I felt that my head was about to explode, my feet loosened. A thing that weighed at least a hundred pounds was slowly lifted up along with my hand.
Ah!” With Zhang Shan’s loud roar, the cement was completely pulled out of the riverbed.
Zhang Shan hugged me and took a step to the side, then released both of his hands. Both of them were gasping for breath, but one was tired, the other was stifled.
After resting for a while, Zhang Shan said: “Alright, you just need to wake up and it will be fine. “In a while, I’ll go ashore and drag you up. It’ll be much easier for us to take care of those hands as well.”
I thought about it. As a result, he stood up straight and planned to move around to check if there was any part of him that had been broken. However, when I reached my feet, I suddenly realized that the feeling of my ankle being tightly shackled had disappeared. I tried moving a little and unexpectedly, a leg was lifted! Overjoyed, I jumped down from the “cement”.
Seeing my actions, Zhang Shan also had a face full of surprise, and hurriedly asked: “Your leg was torn off?” I don’t know why either. I can only do it at high speed. Since the cement block was pulled out, his hands have been released.
Zhang Shan tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said: “Let’s get this thing ashore first.”
“You still want to climb up?” I listened to my boss’s unwillingness. Half a night had passed, and I haven’t been able to find anything about the Corpse Supporting Spell at all. I still had to move this crappy “cement block”.
Zhang Shan replied sternly, “No matter what, there is only one person inside. Don’t think that it was just luck that let you off. It’s very likely that it’s trying to get us to save it, so it can’t just give up halfway. If you don’t finish what you want to do, we might not be able to make it to the shore tonight. No matter what is said or done, we cannot just leave it here. It is not something that can be justified morally. ”
After being reprimanded by him, I naturally had nothing to say. After discussing the details, Zhang Shan’s bag had a rope. We tied each end of the rope to this piece of cement, then climbed onto the road and used the rope to pull the cement block up.
When we climbed back up from the river onto the river path, we found ourselves covered in black mud, greasy and sticky and stinky, but after so long, we were almost used to it, so we had to find a place to take a complete bath when we were done with our business. At this moment, we couldn’t care so much anymore. We used our strength together and finally brought this piece of cement to the shore and set it on the side of the road.
When I looked at it closely, I could see that the hands were sticking out of the cement, slightly above the middle, where a man’s forearm should have been. His ten fingers were slightly bent. Although he had been soaking in the water for a long time, for some reason, he was completely unharmed. The whole piece of cement was only about the height of a person and was shaped like a long strip. At the top, I could see a lot of black filaments, clumps of what I assumed to be hair.
Zhang Shan went around to the back and indicated for me to go take a look at the same time. I turned to look, and though I was prepared for it, my heart was racing against my will. What could clearly be seen behind him was the outline of a person. From the back of his head to his shoulders, back to his waist, it was very obvious.
It was obvious that when this person died and was pouring cement, because his back was pressed up against the ground, the cement couldn’t completely wrap around him. After it dried, it naturally revealed itself. It was just that due to being immersed in water for a long time, the gaps in the water were not sealed. Some parts of the exposed parts had already rotted, and the flesh and bones were exposed. It was extremely disgusting and terrifying.
Zhang Shan looked at it for a long time, sighed, supported himself with the cement and angrily said: “Who exactly are you, to be so ruthless! I never thought that there would still be people in the city who would use this kind of evil Soul Suppressing Technique and receive such torture after death! ”
Although I am more afraid than indignant, but such a cruel method, also for the dead sigh. While thinking, I also followed Zhang Shan’s example and propped my hands on the concrete block.
“Thank you!” The moment I put my hand on the block. A voice sounded in his ear.
Ah!” Startled, I pulled back my hand and looked back, but there was nothing behind me.
“What’s wrong? “What’s the matter?” Seeing me suddenly jump up, Zhang Shan also nervously looked around.
“That woman …” It’s the woman who sang on the railway line! ” I walked around the block, but I couldn’t find anything suspicious. However, that voice did indeed echo in my ears, as if it was right behind me.
“What woman? Oh right, you still haven’t told me what exactly happened just now. ” Zhang Shan finally remembered to ask me about this.
I told him about how the singing woman had lured him to the railway line, and how I had nearly thrown him off the bridge when he had almost been hit by the screaming train.
After he finished listening, Zhang Shan said hatefully, “Hmph! Don’t let me catch this woman, if she falls into my hands, I will make it so that he will never be able to reincarnate! “He almost caused my death, this son of a b * tch …” After saying that, he sent a palm strike towards the block of cement to show his anger.
As the cement was placed horizontally in the water, after we scooped it up, it was originally unable to stand steadily due to the heavy weight on its head. After being pushed by Zhang Shan, its balance was instantly broken and it fell towards me. I was too distracted to hide when I found out, so I had no choice but to reach out and hold it. Fortunately, it had a fulcrum on the ground, but it leaned toward me without much effort to stop him.
“Don’t be afraid!” This time I heard it again, the woman’s voice! Turning around, I saw the woman in the green dress standing behind me, staring at me.
I hastily adjusted the cement block and hid beside Zhang Shan who was behind the cement block. I stuck my head out and shouted, “You … Don’t come near me! Are you a human or a ghost? ”
The woman smiled at me, but her smile looked miserable and helpless, “Don’t be afraid, you are my benefactors, I won’t do anything to you. Isn’t that me you’re holding? You still want to ask me? ”
Only then did I notice that I was holding the block with both hands, my face still pressed to it, looking at the woman. I gave a cry and pushed my hands back. Due to the excessive force exerted, he fell heavily onto the ground. With a “boom,” the concrete slabs toppled under my pressure and fell to the pavement.
“What are you doing?” Zhang Shan stood at the side and asked me with a surprised expression.
“This… in this concrete block… That is … “That woman!” I pointed at a pile of crushed rock in front of me and said while trembling.
Since there was a person inside the block of cement, and it may have been easy to move, it wasn’t too heavy. I pushed again, and when the block of cement collapsed, the upper part of it completely shattered, and the corpse inside finally revealed its true appearance.
Judging by the size of the body, this should be the corpse of an adult female. Because of the high degree of decomposition, the cement flew out along with the flesh. All we can see is a skeleton attached to the flesh. There’s no way to tell the age and appearance of the dead.
“What did you say?” You said this is the singing woman? ” Zhang Shan looked at the corpse on the ground, moving closer to examine it closely.
Seems like this woman has indeed been sealed in cement, causing her soul to be unable to leave. Even as a Palmprint Holder, after eating the Judge’s Grass and not touching the piece of cement, I was still unable to sense her existence. From this, one could see how powerful this Soul Suppressing Place was.
But she had clearly been standing on the railway bridge and singing. How could this be explained?
The more I thought about it, the more my head expanded. After all the bizarre things that had happened in one night, it was not something that I, an ordinary person who had lived for more than twenty years, could accept. Gradually, I discovered something on the ground in front of me. If I looked carefully, it was a pair of snow-white bare feet. Following those little feet, I could see a green dress that was exceptionally eye-catching in the dark.
The woman slowly crouched down until she was level with me, sitting on the ground, hugging her knees and looking at me.
The distance between our faces was only about thirty centimeters. I wasn’t afraid that it was fake, but it wasn’t that I didn’t want to move, it was that I didn’t dare. I knew for sure that she was a ghost. What I didn’t know was that if I got up and ran, what would happen to him, so it was better not to move.
After looking at each other for a long time, the woman finally opened her mouth, “Don’t be afraid, your friend was almost run over to death tonight, but that was not my intention.”
“My bones are going soft!” “I can’t tell, but I think we should hurry up and leave. Otherwise, if someone discovers us together with a corpse, it would be hard to explain.” Zhang Shan squatted there and observed for a long time, but still couldn’t find anything wrong, so he helplessly stood up and spoke to me.
I hastily made a gesture of hush towards Zhang Shan and pointed to the front of me, signalling for him to keep quiet and not speak carelessly. When the woman saw my expression, she smiled and stroked her hair. “It doesn’t matter. That body is nothing to me now. If you don’t break it, I won’t be able to obtain my freedom.”
Seeing that this woman really did not have any malicious intent and that her fear had gradually disappeared, he braced himself and asked her, “You …” “Who made you do this?”
“I don’t want to bring it up again.” The woman stood up. “Anyway, I want to thank you again for saving me. As for this pile of bones, you don’t have to worry about it.
At this time, I saw the shape of Zhang Shan’s mouth behind the woman’s back, and said to me: “Ask her about the Corpse Supporting Spell.”
“Wait a minute!” Seeing that the woman was about to leave, he hurriedly stopped her: “Have you heard of the Corpse Supporting Spell?”
The woman turned back, her face reminiscent. After a while, he told me: “Sorry, I have never heard of any Corpse Supporting Spell. However, if you want to know, you can ask Master Qian. He followed the railway line above him and headed north. Two hundred meters away from the bridge was an abandoned courtyard where Master Qian lived. Maybe he has something you want to know. ”
“Well, if there’s nothing else, I’m going. Too many ghosts and people have come into contact, it’s not good for either of us. ” When the woman saw that I had finished, she prepared to leave.
“Where are you going? Right, what’s your name? ” I didn’t know what to say, so I just randomly said it.
“Go to the place I should be. If you can still see me in the future, remember that my name is Gao Yuan.” After saying that, the woman smiled sweetly, turned around, and slowly disappeared into thin air.
“Gao Yuan… Aiya, what are you doing! ” I was recalling the meaning of the woman’s last sentence. But unexpectedly, Zhang Shan slapped me in the head from the back, causing me to block him.
