Chapter 159 There is no door to hell
Wu Xian looked at his grandmother for a few seconds.

He then inserted the golden hairpin he had received as a birthday gift into the woman's smooth black hair.

The moment the golden hairpin was inserted, the woman frowned and her complexion became visibly worse.

Wu Xian didn't know why Grandma Liu wanted to hold a funeral.

But it is obvious that Liu Baoyu wanted to turn the fake funeral into real one, and all of them became Liu Baoyu's pawns. Liu Baoyu then turned into an evil dragon and began to wreak havoc on the world.

So, how about...

Kill Liu Baoyu now?
With the number of worship props the eight of them currently have, killing Liu Baoyu should not be a difficult task.

Wu Xian gave up the dangerous idea as soon as it crossed his mind.

The story has already been decided. Even if they change a certain part, they cannot change what has already happened.

Only by following the established story can they survive. There is no need to take unnecessary risks just for the sake of momentary impulse.

Moreover.

Even if Wu Xian wanted to take the risk, others might not be willing to follow him.

After walking away from the coffin.

Wu Xian shook his head slightly. He regretted it now.

Why didn't you choose fox charm, but chose the art of rejuvenation?
The grandmother of the Liu family is so young that even if she were rejuvenated, it would probably have no effect.

If Foxy could bewitch such a female enchantress, she should be able to spend the night in peace.

Wu Xian was unwilling to sell out his moral principles in the face of the old lady, but Liu Xiangu was okay.

After Wu Xian came down, Su Mi came up. He looked a little hesitant and stuffed the exquisite bottle he got from the tomb in the study into the hands of the grandmother of the Liu family.

In this way, the six of them all presented gifts. These gifts looked different, but they all contained the ability to weaken the grandmother of the Liu family.

Guan Daorong and Hu Yunkuan had never been to the study, so they had no birthday gifts to give.

Liu Baoyu glared at the two of them.

The originally weird face suddenly turned into a twisted snake face, with its pupils filled with cold murderous intent.

But he ended up saying nothing.

Two servants from the Liu residence closed the coffin lid with great effort, nailed it shut with long coffin nails, and then locked it with several circles of chains. It seemed that they really didn't want Fairy Liu to come out.

Do it all.

Liu Baoyu took his servants and left with lanterns.

Before leaving, he repeatedly warned everyone to be vigilant against Grandma Liu, and then disappeared into the darkness.

After the monsters left.

Wei Dian and others began to thoroughly investigate the environment of the entire mourning hall.

In addition to the two large white strips of cloth in the center, there are some small white strips of cloth hanging on both sides. There is some space behind the small white strips of cloth, as if something is hidden.

Guan Daorong held the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand and carefully lifted the white cloth strip. His pupils immediately trembled when he saw what was behind it.

There were actually some coffins hidden behind those white strips of cloth!
All the coffins were painted black and placed vertically. After a rough count, they found that there were exactly twenty-two coffins.

Liang Fang shuddered.

"Could it be... that these coffins belong to us?"

Wei Dian wanted to laugh, but immediately covered his mouth.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The mourning hall grave was the most dangerous grave for him. The rule that one cannot laugh while keeping vigil was simply targeting him, making him feel uncomfortable and out of shape.

"These coffins do correspond to us, but it is impossible to gather them all together. Many of the forty-four ghost spirits have been reduced to ashes. They can't return to the coffins."

"But there may be a few left, and they may be trouble tonight."

Wu Xian did not discuss the coffin.

He walked to the door of the mourning hall and first looked up at the sky. The sky tonight was pitch black, like thick ink poured on paper, without a single star or moon to be seen, and the thick dark clouds blocked all the light, not even a ray of light could penetrate.

Except for the candlelight in the mourning hall, it was pitch dark all around, as if this mourning hall was the only thing in the world.

Even if there were any monsters out there, they had no way of knowing.

Wu Xian tried to close the door, but his expression suddenly changed. He swallowed and said to everyone.

"Everyone, this mourning hall... has no door!"

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone was terrified, which meant that they had to keep the door open the whole time while on guard tonight, so that no matter what ghost thing came out of the darkness, it could enter the room unimpeded.

Wu Xian’s discovery.

It is even more frightening than the previous coffins.

bass!
When everyone was staring at the door, a dark shadow suddenly flashed outside the door. The shadow scared everyone at once, but everyone calmed down quickly.

I saw a black cat walking out of the darkness, meowing at the mourning hall, and then diving back into the darkness again.

Not a ghost, just an animal.

This made everyone relax a little.

Although the rules say that cats cannot be allowed near coffins, it is always easier to guard against animals than against demons and monsters.

Aunt He immediately poured a basin of cold water on him.

"I don't know what you are relaxing about. Haven't you heard of the legend of the old lady with a cat face?"

"This old lady with a cat face..."

Afterwards, the seven young people listened to Aunt He telling several versions of the story of the old lady with the cat face.

Listen to these stories.

Everyone just felt a chill rising up in their body.

The best outcome would be to let Liu Xiangu lie peacefully in the coffin for a night, but if the cat caused her to transform into a zombie or an old lady with a cat face...

Wu Xian shook his head.

Although it is still unclear whether Liu Xiangu is a corpse, we still need to take precautions.

They picked up the futon.

They formed a semicircle next to the coffin and stood guard around it. No matter which direction the cat came from, there would be someone to stop it to some extent.

After doing all this, it’s just boring waiting.

Liu Baoyu once said.

At third watch, there is a fire; at fifth watch, there is a rooster; at second watch, there are ghosts; at fourth watch, there is a snake that sheds its skin.

The danger tonight will be divided into time periods. The second watch is from 9 to 11 pm, the third watch is from 11 to 1 am, the fourth watch is from 1 to 3 o'clock, and the fifth watch is from 3 to 5 o'clock.

He didn't mention the first watch, which meant that they were safe at least until nine o'clock.

They sat around the coffin for more than an hour, and nothing happened.

The only strange thing was that the incense sticks burned very quickly. The incense had to be changed almost every ten minutes. Fortunately, Liu Baoyu had prepared a lot of incense, which was more than enough to burn through the whole night.

The waiting process is very boring.

They couldn't use any form of entertainment to pass the time, nor did they dare to close their eyes to sleep. They could only stare at each other, some staring at the coffin, some staring at the door.

Even though they knew there would be danger tonight, everyone couldn't help but relax in this boring stare.

when!
Suddenly, a gong sounded, startling everyone. A night watchman's strange and sharp voice came from somewhere.

"It's the second update!"

"Close the doors and windows, prevent fire and theft, don't be happy or laugh, beware of ghosts and monsters!"
