Chapter 15 Jing'an Coffin Shop

The old beggar who took the copper plate responded with a smile on his face, and then led Liao Ji away from the tofu stall.

The two turned left and right on the streets south of the city, and after passing through several streets in a row, they finally appeared next to a small river on the edge of the city.

The river is a little far from the houses in the city. There is a gravel path by the river, and neatly planted plants on the road. If you can enjoy a walk here after dinner, it would be pleasant.

After walking along the river for a while, the old beggar led Liao Ji across the river from a small bridge and into a bamboo forest across the river.

There is a road in the forest, which is quite spacious, and there is no grass planting on the road, so it is often seen that people step into it.

After the two walked along the road in the bamboo forest for a moment, finally, an extremely quaint house appeared in front of them.

"Mutual~Mutual~"

Just as the two were approaching the house deep in the forest, a strange bird scream suddenly rang out. At the same time, the two people who were moving forward stopped at the same time.

Looking at the sound, they found several crows singing on the eaves of the house in the forest.

In people's perception in this world, crows are extremely unlucky birds. Generally, where such birds appear, disasters, big or small, will definitely occur.

After suddenly hearing the crow's screams, the two stood there and paused for a moment. Then the old beggar pointed to the house not far away and said, "Brother, that's what you say is Jing'anguan. You go for yourself, I won't be with you."

Before Liao Ji could come back, the old beggar left the words and plucked his legs away.

"Don't leave, you..."

Looking back at the old beggar's back as he ran away, Liao Ji sighed and finally turned his gaze to the house built in the depths of the bamboo forest not far away, then bit his teeth and walked towards the house under the crow's feet.

Just as he approached step by step, less than three feet away from the house deep in the forest, several crows that were resting on the roof suddenly flew with their wings, and at the same time, they made a few strange screams at once.

This call scared Liao Ji very much. He shivered, stared at the birds with panic expressions after they disappeared into the sky, and then continued to move forward with a trembling step.

Because of the appearance of the crow, Liao Ji's heart was filled with fear at this moment. Thinking of his dignified seven-foot man, he was so scared by several birds that he was almost turning into his cousin "Liao Bujin".

Fortunately, no one else here saw his embarrassment, so Liao Ji, who was walking and looking around, glanced around, couldn't help but raise his sleeves and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead that appeared at some point.

He never thought that he had just come to find someone in Gusu City, but now he was scared to such a coward.

...

Three zhang distance was not far, but Liao Ji, who was frightened, walked very slowly. Finally, when he was still ten feet away from the earthen house in the forest, he saw an extremely dilapidated wooden plaque hanging directly above the gate of the earthen house.

On that plaque, there are traces of being washed by time. Among them, a word can be vaguely seen in the middle of the plaque.

The moment he saw the words clearly, Liao Ji stopped and couldn't help but take a step back, and at the same time he began to curse the old beggar who had just brought him here.

Why is this happening? Because the word he saw was the word "coffin". The place he was looking for was Jing'an Temple, a Taoist temple. It was obviously not a Taoist temple, but an unlucky place.

Just as Liao Ji cursed the old beggar in his heart, and was about to leave in anger, he found that in front of the coffin, there were two words that had fallen off, which seemed to be the word Jing'an.

Seeing this, Liao Ji held his tight head tightly and swallowed, then moved closer to the earthen house.

Finally, when he stood under the half-closed gate of the earthen house and looked up, he saw clearly that the three words "Jing'an Coffin" were indeed engraved on the plaque, but the word "Coffin" on the plaque is in the middle and Jing'an is in front, which means that there should be two words behind the word "Coffin".

Although the two words behind the coffin have long been traced, there can be seen small nail holes on it, which are obviously falling off.

And after he glanced inside the house from the half-closed door, he found several large wooden coffins placed in the hall inside the house.

The current situation is roughly the case on the comprehensive plaque. The original plaque should have the words "Jing'an Coffin Store" engraved on it.

"Did Master Wu talk about Jing'an Coffin?"

Although Liao Ji was very frightened at this time, after seeing the words engraved on the plaque, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

While hope arose, the fear in his heart gradually faded. He immediately stretched out his hand and pushed open the half-closed door, shouting at the coffin house: "Is anyone here?"

The shouting came out. After about five breaths, there was no response in the coffin room. This made Liao Ji wonder if the shouting was too small and the people in the room did not hear it.

"have……"

Just as he was about to shout, he paused after just shouting the word "yes". At the same time, he twisted his body, stepped forward quickly, and ran out of the forest.

Because after he just shouted the word "yes", a man in gray-haired and red clothes sat up from it in the coffin house.

That's why Liao Ji was so scared that he ran away in a hurry.

After passing through the river and entering the bamboo forest just now, Liao Ji, the timid man, passed through layers of intimidation, and it became more and more intense. Now he finally reached the point where he could not bear it.

Just as he stepped forward, ran out of the bamboo forest on the same road, crossed the bridge, he looked back and found that no one was chasing him. Then he gasped and fell on the side of the gravel road beside the river.

"My dear mother, why are there evil things everywhere in the world? I actually saw the zombie with my own eyes."

Liao Ji was whispering in his heart. At the same time, he reached out to the riverside by the road, and brought out some cool river water to wash his face.

But just as he washed his face with clean water and was about to get up and continue running, a person appeared on the small bridge he had just passed.

The man was dressed in gray hair and red, standing straight on the bridge deck. His erect figure was reflected on the river surface, staring quietly at Liao Ji who was sitting on the ground.

"Ah~ It's a zombie!"

The moment he saw the person suddenly appeared on the bridge deck, Liao Ji instinctively shouted, and at the same time, he jumped up from the ground like a dog, ran away, because this person was the person he had just seen sitting up from the wooden coffin in the coffin house.

Unfortunately, he just got up and ran for a few steps, and felt his calf numb, as if he had been hit by something, and then he fell to the ground.

An instinctive scream of pain came from his mouth. Just as Liao Ji was about to get up, an old voice came from behind him.

"You guy, you messed up my dreams, didn't buy a coffin, and even scolded me for pretending to be a zombie. If you don't give an explanation today, hehe~"
