Forbidden City

Chapter 21

The sound was very loud, like a heavy object slamming on the door panel, and it came from the main room of Wu Banxian's house.I almost subconsciously stopped and looked back at the main room, but since the loud sound just now, there has been no other sound.

How could there be a sound coming from the main room?And it's so loud!
To make such a loud noise, what else could it be other than being human?However, there was only one corpse in the main room.

Could it be——Wu Banxian is dead?Did it push the coffin lid away, and the coffin lid slammed on the door, and then made that loud bang just now?
I was terrified for a while, this is impossible, this kind of thing will not happen.

After waiting for a while, the voice didn't sound again, so I took courage and walked slowly towards the main room.When I was two meters away from the door, I stopped, stared at the door vigilantly, and listened carefully.Surrounded by unusual silence, I can only hear my heart beating non-stop.

"Bang", suddenly a soft sound came from the door.

My heart tightened, it was the sound of people's feet falling to the ground.

Could it be that Wu Banxian's body jumped out of the coffin?

"Tom, tom..." There was another sound of footsteps in the room, the sound was very low, the kind of tiptoe, if you don't listen carefully, you can't hear it at all.

My hair stood on end again, there was no one in the main room, where did the footsteps come from?There is nothing else except Wu Banxian!Reflexively, I took two or three steps back, and quickly took out my cell phone to call my second uncle's cell phone. After several rings, my second uncle answered and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?" I blurted out: "Two Uncle—Wu Banxian is dead!"

"Ah...a bitch!" The second uncle scolded, "Are you fooling your uncle again?"

I hurriedly said: "No, it's true. I just heard the lid of the coffin inside being opened, and the lid of the coffin hit the door very loudly. There were also footsteps coming from inside."

"It's really a ghost!" The second uncle paused, and said in a buzzing voice: "Don't go in, and don't open the door, wait for me." He hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

I looked at the door of the main room, listened carefully for a while, and felt that something was wrong, so I called Uncle Zhou's house again and told him about it.Uncle Zhou was probably eating. As soon as I finished speaking, there was a "clang", and there was a crisp sound. It was the sound of a bowl falling on the ground and being broken, but Uncle Zhou was silent on the other side. I hurriedly called Said: "Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhou..." After calling several times in a row, Uncle Zhou's voice came, and he almost tremblingly said: "Don't go, wait for me to come over."

It seemed that Uncle Zhou was also quite frightened.

Not long after, Uncle Zhou came, holding a hatchet in his right hand and a flashlight in his left, panting, he must have come running.His face was extremely ugly, and as soon as he saw me, he asked, "Has the half-immortal come out?" I said no, as if there had been no movement.Uncle Zhou raised the hatchet in his right hand, and used the flashlight to look at the door. He walked carefully to the edge of the door and stopped. He listened carefully for a while, but there still seemed to be no When there was any movement, he looked at me and asked, "Did you really hear the sound?"

I said I actually heard it, and it was very loud!
Uncle Zhou's complexion improved a little this time, but because of some scruples, he still didn't dare to push the door.At this time, there was a rush of footsteps from behind, we looked back, and the second uncle hurried over with a flashlight, and he asked loudly from a long distance: "What's the situation?"

Uncle Zhou and I didn't know how to answer him for a while, but the second uncle walked up quickly and asked, "Wu Banxian's corpse?" I said I didn't know, and only heard voices and footsteps coming from inside.The second uncle said angrily: "I don't have a dead body, just say hello, I thought Wu Banxian really came back to life." I was about to push the door, but I hurriedly blocked him and said, "Don't rush in, Banxian Uncle Xian might really be dead, the sound was loud just now..."

"Maybe it's a mouse." The second uncle said carelessly, "I'm afraid of a dick!" As he spoke, he pushed hard, and with a creak, the door opened.

As soon as the door opened, a gust of cold wind rushed out from the main room, accompanied by a thick and strange smell, we all covered our noses by coincidence.

The second uncle and Uncle Zhou shone the flashlights on the coffin almost at the same time.I also looked at the coffin first, and when I looked at it, I gasped.The coffin lid is opened!
"Damn it!" Second Uncle cursed and turned on the light in the main room.The room was brightly lit immediately, and only then did we realize that the coffin lid was on the ground not far from the door, and I almost stepped on it.

The second uncle walked to the coffin first, and the moment he looked into the coffin, his eyes suddenly swelled up. Uncle Zhou and I felt our hearts sink and something was wrong, so we hurried over.

I thought that Wu Banxian in the coffin must have grown two fangs like a zombie in a movie, but what I never expected was that there was no corpse in the coffin, and instead, there was a sitting black cat!
An ordinary-sized black cat, with shiny eyes, looked up at us with a deep and gloomy gaze that made people chill.

"This...how did the half-immortal turn into a cat?" Zhou Bo asked in horror.

The second uncle rubbed his chin, and probably couldn't think of a reason. He reached out to catch the cat, but the black cat suddenly let out a strange cry, soared into the air, and rushed towards the second uncle.

"Ah!" The second uncle hastily withdrew his hand, and quickly stepped back.The black cat jumped onto the coffin, jumped again, landed gently on the ground, and ran into a room on the left like an arrow, and disappeared into the endless darkness in an instant.

Uncle Zhou and I were terrified, unable to speak for a while.

The second uncle was more courageous, so he turned on the flashlight and walked to the room where the black cat ran to just now. I looked into the empty coffin again, and asked doubtfully, "Could it be that the half-immortal uncle has become a cat?" The second uncle said, "Impossible." , even if it becomes a zombie, it cannot become a cat, the smell in this room is so strong, the corpse should still be there."

He had already reached the door, and I accidentally found a dark figure standing beside the bed in the next room, and hurriedly called to stop my second uncle, who heard the sound and asked, "What's wrong?" I hurried up, trying to catch him I used the flashlight to see what the black shadow was, and suddenly, a gust of cold wind came, and a black object burst out from the room, hitting me and my second uncle straight.

"Go away!" In the blink of an eye, the second uncle grabbed my arm and pulled me away.Fortunately, the second uncle reacted quickly, otherwise the black object must have hit us.

At this time, the black object had already jumped into the main room, I took a closer look and gasped, it was Wu Banxian!

It really is dead!

"Damn!" The second uncle cursed, and shouted at Uncle Zhou and me: "Go!" After saying that, he pushed me hard.I was still in shock, and was almost pushed to the ground by his push, but I quickly recovered and ran out of the main room impatiently.

As soon as I got outside, Uncle Zhou and my second uncle followed closely. Before I could see what was going on in the house, my second uncle pulled the door shut and quickly snapped the lock on the outside.

Still in shock, I stared at the door and asked, "Has Uncle Banxian turned into a zombie?"

Uncle Zhou's face turned pale, his throat twitched, and he didn't speak for a long time.The second uncle said: "It should not have turned into a zombie. I guess the black cat jumped on it. The ancients and folks said that when a person dies, sometimes there is still a breath in his chest. If he is rushed by a cat, dog, mouse or something, he will fake it." Resurrection, the animal soul possesses the corpse, which is commonly referred to as a fraudulent corpse. But this breath cannot support life at all, and it will only make the resurrected corpse bite wildly. The last breath is exhausted and falls to the ground, and it is considered completely dead gone."

Even so, Uncle Zhou and I were still terrified. Uncle Zhou trembled and said, "It seems that Mr. Ling is right. If the corpse of the half-immortal is not burned, strange things will happen!"

"That's not necessarily true." The second uncle said: "Although the half-immortal is dead, it doesn't mean it will hurt people."

"You still don't understand?" Uncle Zhou almost shouted angrily, "Last night, the half-immortal came out and killed all the old man's chickens, and tonight he jumped out of the coffin again, and you said it wouldn't hurt anyone." ?”

The second uncle's lips moved, but he didn't answer. He probably couldn't think of a response, so he looked at Uncle Zhou and asked, "Where is Mu Yi? Why hasn't he come yet?" Uncle Zhou also frowned and said, "Yes. , it's so late, is she still coming?"
