Villager of Destiny

Chapter 40 Not a Real Old Alcoholic

Listening to the conversation between the two, my heart suddenly lifted.

I can easily distinguish their voices.

I can hear Uncle Ghost's hesitation.

You can also hear the eagerness of the old alcoholic.

I also began to keep silently saying in my heart: Uncle Gui, don't hesitate, open the coffin with the old drunkard.

fast!
In this way, I waited for a while with a heart.

Fortunately, Uncle Gui was finally persuaded by the old drunkard.

Soon I felt the coffin shaking, and after a while there was a "creaking" sound, and the coffin lid was pushed open little by little.

And as the coffin lid was pushed back, I began to feel the feeling that was restraining me so that I could not move was gradually disappearing.

Until the coffin lid was completely pushed away, I suddenly sat up from inside the coffin.

Uncle Gui and the old drunkard were obviously taken aback.

Apparently they didn't expect me to be in the coffin.

"Why are you in there?" Ghost Uncle asked first.

The old drunkard also frowned.

"Boy."

"What's inside?"

I smiled wryly, "Don't mention it."

Then I told the two of them what happened before, and after listening to what I said, the faces of Uncle Ghost and the old drunkard sank.

The old drunkard confirmed: "You mean that there is a person pretending to be a ghost boy."

"He got you locked up inside?"

I nodded.

The old drunkard's face immediately turned ugly.

Uncle Gui was quite calm, but frowned and said, "If the person pretending to be me is also human, it means that someone should have come here before us."

"And that person knows our details and what we are here for."

"Who would that be?" I asked.

Uncle Ghost shook his head, and then said, "There is another possibility."

"That is……"

Uncle Gui glanced at me, and then at the old drunkard.

"Probably not human."

I froze for a moment, and suddenly felt a chill down my back.

"Ghost boy, what else do you know?" The old drunk looked at Uncle Gui.

Uncle Gui glanced at the statue of the City God, which had been restored to its original shape at some point, then turned his gaze back to me and said, "According to what you just said."

"There should be quite a problem with the statue of the City God."

"And the one who pretended to be me restoring the statue of the City God should have some kind of purpose."

"It may also be for the Earth Immortal Sword."

"You mean that the statue of the City God is the key to finding the Earth Immortal Sword." I frowned and said, "Doesn't that mean that he should be one step ahead of us?"

The old drunkard slapped his thigh.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Find it quickly."

"Whatever it is, let's find the Earth Immortal Sword first."

The old drunkard said and wanted to leave.

But at this moment, Uncle Ghost suddenly pulled out the soul-repressing rope from his waist, and then ruthlessly threw it at the old drunkard!
"what!"

The old drunkard immediately let out a scream.

The next moment I saw black mist pouring out of his back, and his body began to twist.

He turned his head and looked at Uncle Ghost with disbelief in his eyes.

"you……"

"How did you find out?"

Uncle Ghost looked calm.

"You act too real."

At the same time, Uncle Gui swung the soul-suppressing rope out again, and threw it heavily on the old drunkard, and at this moment, the old drunkard's body completely changed.

His flesh and blood began to blur, and then gradually turned into a black mist, exposing the bones inside.

But he suddenly laughed.

"Boy."

"It's too late."

"Soon you'll all be dead."

"Everyone will die..."

I am a little confused.

The soul repressing rope is only effective on the soul.

Doesn't that mean that the old alcoholic in front of me is a fake?

I looked at the old drunkard who was completely turned into a ball of bones, and it took me a while to come back and look at Uncle Gui.

"How is this going?"

Uncle Gui said with a complex expression: "Old drunkards will not follow us up the mountain."

"Although he pretends to be very similar, he can only pretend to be an old alcoholic after all."

"Also, he still has an obvious flaw."

"What flaw?" I was a little curious.

Uncle Gui looked at the bones on the ground and said: "Although the old drunkard has been in Fengling Village for many years and is used to many things, he has always been steady and calm no matter what happens."

"It's also for this reason that those who stayed in Fengling Village respect him very much."

"But I'm sure he's not an old alcoholic, he's still here."

Uncle Ghost looked at the black coffin.

"This coffin has the seal of a Taoist talisman."

"As for the old drunkard, he is a lay disciple of Maoshan."

"It's impossible for him not to know that the place with the talisman seal must be dangerous, but he asked me to open the coffin from the very beginning, which is itself a problem."

"Then why do you still have to open the coffin?" I didn't understand.

Because according to what Uncle Gui said, since he has already seen that the old alcoholic is a fake, why did he open the coffin together, isn't he afraid of something happening?

Uncle Gui didn't answer me, but went to the coffin and tore off the talisman.

"This talisman has been passive once."

"So I guess, someone should have opened the coffin before us."

I understood it all at once, and at the same time, I also admired Uncle Gui a little bit.

If it was me, I definitely wouldn't have observed it so carefully.

At least not now.

After clearing up my mood, I asked again: "Then what should we do now?"

"There is still no clue about the Earth Immortal Sword."

Uncle Gui set his eyes on the black coffin again.

"There should be something wrong with this coffin."

"According to what you said, there should have been something inside this black coffin. After you opened the coffin for the first time, the content inside should have escaped, and the head of the city god should be some kind of seal."

"After the City God's head was put back on the City God statue, something should have been triggered again, so you were locked inside."

"If I'm not mistaken..."

Uncle Ghost frowned.

"This is very likely to be a method of stealing the sky."

"You opened the coffin, so you replaced the one who ran out and was sealed inside."

"The purpose of the one pretending to be me should be to release the contents inside."

"What about the old drunkard in disguise?" I asked.

Uncle Ghost fell silent, as if he was thinking.

"Squeak..."

Suddenly there was a sound.

My eyelids twitched subconsciously.

The next moment I saw the statue of the city god that had been restored to its original position stood up again.

It's just that this time his pale eyes were not on me, but on Uncle Gui.

Uncle Ghost's face changed drastically.

"run!"

Uncle Gui yelled, and at the same time pushed me forcefully out of the hall.

At the same time, there was a "squeak", and the door of the main hall was closed again.
