And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 135

Take Xueniang and the little yellow dog out and put them in the room, let Xueniang feed the little yellow dog with the animal milk she carries with her, and settle down the mouse and the dog.

Chen Yuan took off his Taoist robe, fell asleep on the bed, and practiced the "Fetal Breath Jue" in his sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yuan was awakened in the dark by the harsh sound of sharp objects rubbing against wood.

Chen Yuan slept on his side, with his back against the wall, facing the door, and opened his eyes in the dark. His keen vision was able to see things in the dark. When he opened his eyes, he found a snow-white thing in front of him. , standing less than a foot away from his face, looking at him with a pair of black eyeballs.

Taking a closer look, Chen Yuan recognized that the other party was Xue Niang.

"If you don't go to sleep to practice in the middle of the night, what are you doing on the bed and watching me?"

Chen Yuan said to Xue Niang, who met his eyes and was startled by his sudden waking up.

"Chen Yuan, did you hear it? The voice outside the door."

But Xueniang quickly realized that she was scaring herself. Seeing that Chen Yuan woke up, she came closer, lay down in front of Chen Yuan, and said to Chen Yuan in a low voice.

"You heard that too?"

Chen Yuan asked Xue Niang.

He was just in his sleep when he was woken up by this weird sound.

"Of course Xueniang heard it. That sound has been around for a long time, and it has been ringing since more than an hour ago."

"Then why don't you go out and check?"

"Xue Niang dare not."

"Why are you so timid?"

"Chen Yuan, haven't you heard of a word called cowardly as a mouse?"

"..."

"As a mouse, even if there is danger outside, it won't notice you."

"But Xueniang still dare not go out."

"Chen Yuan, you are so capable, why don't you go out and have a look?"

Chen Yuan and Xueniang were talking on the bed. Chen Yuan wanted Xueniang to go out and check, but Xueniang said that she was as timid as a mouse.

But after thinking about it for a while, Chen Yuan decided to go out and check it himself to see what was making the strange noise outside the door.

He got up and got out of bed, put on his shoes and socks, and without any hesitation or fear, he opened the door and walked out with ease.

It was pitch black outside the house, except for the bright starlight in the night sky and the bright moon that was obscured by clouds and shone brightly on the clouds, making it impossible to see the shape clearly. You could also faintly hear crickets chirping in front of and behind the temple.

In addition, the inside and outside of the temple are extremely quiet.

Chen Yuan walked out of the wing room, stood in the yard, and listened carefully to the movements in the backyard.

As a result, there was no sound except the chirping of crickets.

It seems that the instigator who made the harsh sound just now also heard the sound of Chen Yuan opening the door, so he stopped.

Chen Yuan walked around the yard, but didn't see anything unusual.

Among them, Chen Yuan focused on checking the west wing where the corpse was parked.

As a result, nothing was seen except burning incense candles.

Chen Yuan had no choice but to return to the room he lived in and closed the door, but after closing the door, he did not continue to practice lying on the bed.

Instead, he stood behind the door and listened to the movement outside the door.

Sure enough, the sound of rubbing wood outside the door started to ring again shortly after Chen Yuan closed the door.

味味...

The voice was extremely rhythmic, but it was also dull, revealing a hint of gloom.

This time, Chen Yuan didn't open the door and go out immediately. He listened behind the door, and Chen Yuan realized that the sound came from the opposite room.

Chen Yuan thought about the sound of rubbing wood, and in the next moment he guessed where the source of the sound was.

coffin!

Only rubbing the coffin can make such a sound.

Chen Yuan had the answer in his heart, so he didn't think too much, opened the door directly, and walked out again.

Sure enough, when Chen Yuan opened the door, there was the sour sound of the door rubbing against the door frame. Chen Yuan walked out of his room, and the ear-piercing sound of rubbing wood came from the opposite room, and then disappeared immediately.

"He even played hide and seek with me."

Chen Yuan felt a little funny.

Now that he knew where the source of the sound came from, he walked directly towards the opposite west wing without stopping. After entering the west wing, Chen Yuan discovered that the two coffins were covered with coffin lids.

Chen Yuan thought for a while, and pushed the lids of the two coffins away one by one.

Each of these coffins weighing dozens or hundreds of catties is very heavy for ordinary people, but for Chen Yuan, it is a piece of cake.

With just a little force, Chen Yuan easily pushed the coffin lid open, exposing the upper body of the corpse in the coffin.

Then a very unpleasant, disgusting corpse smell permeated the room.

Chen Yuan poked his head slightly to take a look inside the coffin, and immediately saw the corpses of an old couple wearing men's and women's shrouds and covering their faces with a stack of yellow paper.

The corpses were a man and a woman, one was an old man and the other was an old woman. Due to the decay of the corpses, the approximate age could no longer be seen.

It can only be seen from the gray hair that these two people are not young, they can be regarded as old people.

But the yellow paper covering the old man's face has fallen to the side.

And the old man's face, which had been more than half decayed, looked extremely eerie under the night light.

Chen Yuan held his breath, resisting the stench in the coffin, and continued to look into the coffin.

It was found that the old man lying in the coffin and wearing a shroud had unexpectedly long nails on his hands on the left and right sides of his legs, a full three to four centimeters long, and the color was dark and shiny, exuding a lustrous luster.

In addition, Chen Yuan also found scratches scratched by fingernails on the edge of the coffin next to the opponent's right hand.

"It seems that the voice just now was for you?"

After Chen Yuan found the source of the sound, he said to the corpse of the old man lying in the coffin.

However, the old man's corpse seemed to have a spirit, and he was a little afraid of him. Whenever he heard him open the door and come out, he would stop his movements and lie in the coffin to pretend to be dead.

"But you are no longer a human being, so I can't let you out again."

After Chen Yuan said a word to the old man's body in the coffin, he closed the coffin lid.

The situation of this corpse was similar to that of the corpse monster that Chen Yuan had just left Pingliang County and stayed overnight at the house of the thief Wei Xiaoyi.

Chen Yuan turned back to his room, lifted the sword case with the rusty sword, and placed it directly at the door of the west wing, then turned back to his room, and continued to practice in his sleep.

Strange to say, when Chen Yuan put the sword box at the door of the west wing, there was no sound from the west wing that night.

Until the sky was bright, Chen Yuan got up and dressed neatly, put the bag containing Xueniang and the little yellow dog on his back and opened the door, just in time to see the middle-aged monk Huike of Chongguang Temple, standing at the door of the west wing with a puzzled expression. Looking at the sword box that Chen Yuan put at the door.

"Daoist, if the poor monk remembers correctly, this should be the sword box of the Taoist?"

Seeing Chen Yuan get up and open the door, monk Huike asked Chen Yuan.

"That's right, it's Pindao's sword box."

Chen Yuan nodded.

"The poor monk was so blind last night that he didn't realize that the Taoist priest is a master of Taoism."

Then Huike smiled wryly.

When he just woke up, he was still wondering why the abnormal noise outside the house disappeared in the middle of the night.

Now it seems that the reason is here.

"Master Huike, the corpse in this coffin must have turned into a demon, right?"

Chen Yuan asked the monk Huike.

"Yes, the corpses of these two old friends of the poor monk have a tendency to become evil spirits. These days, the poor monk has been reciting Buddhist scriptures for two hours during the day to dissolve the evil spirits of the corpses, but it still cannot completely solve the hidden dangers. So last night the poor monk Only then did Daoist Chang, no matter what movement he heard outside the house, never go out at night."

"It's just that I didn't expect the Taoist leader to be a master of Taoism."

Monk Huike smiled wryly.

"After the release of Pindao's sword box last night, this corpse should no longer become a corpse demon, but Pindao suggested that Master Huike should find the descendants of this corpse as soon as possible, and return it to them, so that it can be buried in peace. good."

"Otherwise, after a long time, there will be other accidents if the guarantee is not complete."

Chen Yuan exhorted the monk Huike.

In fact, Chen Yuan had discovered a long time ago that his sword box and the rusty sword were actually mutually accomplished. The sword box, which was originally just a treasure, had the power to ward off evil after it became a sword box containing the rusty sword. ability.

And after the Rusty Sword has been placed in the sword box for a long time, it has also gained a bit of sharpness.

"Thank you for the reminder, Taoist priest, the poor monk took note."

The monk Hui Ke said.

"Is the Taoist priest leaving? It's not too late to leave after breakfast!"

Seeing that Chen Yuan lifted the sword box at the door and carried it on his back, as if he was about to leave, the monk Huike persuaded Chen Yuan to stay.

"No, Pindao has to hurry."

Chen Yuan declined politely.

"Pindao has already left in the room. The salary for staying overnight last night. Thank you Master Huike for your hospitality. I will see you in the future."

After Chen Yuan left a sentence, he walked away without looking back.

"This Taoist priest is really a fairy in the world."

Monk Huike looked at Chen Yuan's leaving back and sighed.
