Chapter 324 Buried Alive
Outside the coffin, the sounds of suona, gongs and drums were deafening.

But Wu Xian could still barely hear the conversation between the paper figures carrying the coffin.

There were two people talking, one with a rougher voice and the other with a thinner voice. Their accents were very strange, as if the pronunciation of each word was cut out from the voice of a living person and spliced ​​together.

The rough-voiced paper figurine said, "If I can bring back nine longevity peaches today, the immortals will be happy."

The paper doll with a whisper laughed: "Hey, I knew it three days ago. That night, all the coffins became heavier at the same time. It was obvious that a dead person got in under the moonlight..."

"Three days? That's not right!" The gruff paper man was puzzled. "Normally it shouldn't be this fast. It will take at least ten days or half a month for the batch of coffins from three days ago to arrive."

The paper man's voice also hesitated: "Hearing you say that, I suddenly feel that the weight of these coffins is not right."

Listening to the conversation outside, Wu Xian's eyes suddenly widened.

"Oops!"

These paper figures carrying the coffins are not only mechanically carrying out orders, they also have the ability to think for themselves. If this continues, they will be exposed sooner or later...

Just when Wu Xian wanted to do something, the coffin suddenly opened a crack and a strange fragrance came in from the coffin.

Wu Xian's heart suddenly started beating wildly, as if he smelled the scent of death.

But soon he felt dizzy, his limbs became weak, and his consciousness gradually blurred. Even if he tried hard to stay awake, it was useless...

Before completely losing consciousness.

Wu Xian heard this conversation coming from outside.

"If it's not a longevity peach, then it can only be an immortal who escaped from the alchemy furnace!"

"Alas, this happens every year. Bury them in the garden and wait until midnight for the immortals to deal with them personally."

"The immortals like this kind of guy the most."

Wu Xian's eyelids could no longer hold up, and he could only let himself fall into a deep sleep...

……

Bang, bang!
"Young man...young man!"

Wu Xian's face was slapped and the voice of Old Lady He came to his ears.

"Young man, thank you so much. I am finally back to the He family. If you have any problems, just break this piece of pottery jar and I will come to help you."

After listening to this sentence.

Wu Xian's consciousness gradually returned.

He could feel something the size of a finger slowly crawling on his body, and his feet felt a tingling pain, as if something was biting him.

Wu Xian opened his eyes with difficulty, and then some dirt got into his eyes...

"This is……"

He was lying flat on his back at this moment, with the feel of dirt on his body, face, and mouth. He could smell the smell of dirt, grass roots, and corpses with just a gentle breath.

"It's bad... I'm buried alive!"

Fortunately, the soil was not buried very deep and was not trampled, so Wu Xian could still breathe, but it was very laborious...

He shook his body a little bit, squeezing the soil to both sides, so that his arms had more and more space to move.

at last.

After some effort, Wu Xian stretched out one hand from the soil and subconsciously grabbed something on the ground, so he tightly held the feet of the woman who was admiring the flowers.

"Ah! Ah! There's a ghost, help me..."

Hearing the shouting from above, Wu Xian's scalp exploded. He struggled out of the soil with all his might, pressed the screaming woman to the ground, and stopped her from crying for help.

While he was holding the woman, he observed the surrounding environment. At this time, he should be in the garden of a large mansion. The garden was very large and the terrain was very complicated. Judging from what Mrs. He said just now, this should be the He family.

Wu Xian looked down at his shoes and found that the tip of the shoe had been bitten and a piece of the nail had fallen off. It must have been bitten by a rat. If he had woken up a few minutes later, one of his toes might have been eaten by a rat.

As for this woman...

Her mouth and nose were covered by Wu Xian, and now her eyes were rolled up.

Wu Xian looked around, dragged the woman into the rockery, sat beside her and breathed in deep breaths of fresh air. His physical condition gradually began to recover.

During the rest process.

Wu Xian gradually regained his composure.

When Wu Xian was sprayed with the drug in the face, he was really panicked. The situation was completely beyond his control.

But when he crawled out of the soil, he calmed down a little and figured it out.

Since the route to the Undead City is fixed, being discovered by the coffin bearers is something that is bound to happen. So although this incident seems terrifying, it is essentially the same as the situation on the Sanxian Bridge. It is just a process similar to a cutscene.

After this process.

The nine people and one zombie that Wu Xian was leading were forcibly separated, and the coffin that they had finally obtained was nowhere to be found. The situation seemed to be a mess, but Wu Xian felt that they were getting closer and closer to victory.

"I should thank the paper figures who carry the coffin if I get a chance."

Dialogue of paper figures.

It filled the gap in Wu Xian's knowledge.

Many of the actions of the Three Immortals have reasonable explanations. Everything that Wu Xian and others are experiencing now is the cycle of the Three Immortals refining longevity peaches.

The cycle begins at Sanxian Bridge.

When Wu Xian and others first arrived at the blessed land, they relied on crawling into coffins to survive, but the team transporting the coffins itself is the biggest mystery.

Why did the coffin bearers send the coffin to the village without burials?
Why did the paper figures disappear after the moonlight appeared?

Why didn’t the pallbearers notice that the weight of the coffin had changed?
Now Wu Xian finally figured it out.

The coffins sent to the Wuzang Village were not actually for the elderly to bury themselves, but were traps like fish traps. The coffin bearers paraded through the streets with the coffins, actually attracting the walking dead on the road.

The paper man disappeared after the moonlight appeared, making it easier for the walking corpse to get into the coffin and jar.

It’s not that the coffin bearers didn’t notice the change in weight, but the change in weight was within their expectations. What they wanted was for a zombie to crawl into the coffin!
The only surprise was that the family members were also at Sanxian Bridge that night and took the place of the zombies!

Looking back at this moment, the scene where the zombies were banging on the outside of the coffin, asking Wu Xian and others to get out quickly, the meaning is completely different from before.

Follow normal procedures.

Only relatively agile zombies can get into the coffins. These coffins containing zombies will be sent to Wuzang Village, waiting to be devoured by the "Alchemy Furnace". Eventually, their essence will be sucked away and turned into longevity peaches, and their remains will become part of the twisted underground passages...

As for the stronger zombies, they will be sent to the Undead City along with the coffins and buried in the He family's garden, waiting for the Three Immortals to deal with them...

The above speculations gave Wu Xian a deeper understanding of this blessed land.

Next he should consider how he should act.

"From what the paper figurines said, we know that the three immortals will attack us at midnight. This means that I have to find other companions, the coffin, the mourning hall, and the burial objects before midnight... There are really a lot of things to do."

Wu Xian looked to the side.

The woman who was knocked unconscious by him has quietly woken up and is crawling on the ground, trying to escape from Wu Xian.

"Perhaps this woman will be useful."
