Chapter 1289: Passing Three Levels

"What...what do you mean?" The fat man walking in front of the coffin was closest to the body of the dead cat, and felt the greatest impact. Blood spattered on the mask, and sticky drops slid down. "It is staring at us. What is it trying to do? ?”

"It wants to choose one of us to pay for it with life.

Luo Tianhe's expression could no longer be described as gloomy. He had made full preparations for this trip, and even used the method of borrowing ghosts to attract a group of lonely ghosts to follow the team, but he never expected that... As soon as he left the town, he encountered something terrible like a black cat crashing into a coffin. Besides...this was just the beginning.

After calming down, Luo Tianhe whispered: "Don't be confused, go back the way you came, keep your steps steady, don't shake the coffin, and don't look into the dead cat's eyes, be careful not to be resented by it."

"You can't retreat!" Li Bai's voice suddenly sounded, "Mr. Luo, there is no turning back when carrying the coffin. Once you retreat..."

"Shut your mouth, everyone, listen to me and retreat."

But this time, no matter how hard everyone tried, the coffin seemed to have taken root and remained motionless. Then, there was a creepy friction sound inside the coffin.

"Zhiqua——"

"squeak--"

The voice was not sharp, but at this moment, it plunged everyone into unprecedented despair.

Everyone can completely imagine the scene of sharp nails scratching the inner wall of the coffin in a dark and closed coffin.

Master Wu woke up.

No, it's Mr. Wu's body... it's evil!

Soon, the scratching sound of nails became more and more urgent, and at the same time, accompanied by the sound of hammering, the heavy coffin started to swing from side to side uncontrollably.

The hemp ropes binding the coffin also made an embarrassing and heavy friction sound. Once the coffin fell to the ground, the consequences would be disastrous.

Until a figure turned over the coffin and sat on it, facing backward.

This sitting seemed to have a huge force, the shaking of the coffin became smaller and smaller, the harsh scratching and hitting sounds became slower and slower, and finally everything returned to calm.

Naturally, the person riding on the coffin was Bai Yu, and this move allowed everyone to get out of the predicament temporarily.

Everyone took this opportunity to quickly bypass the black cat's body and the blocking tree, and returned to the path.

After taking a breath, Luo Tianhe first thanked Bai Yu and Yuan Shanyuan, but then looked at Bai Yu's back and said with worry that it would be hard for him along the way. Miss Bai Yu had been riding on the coffin, and Mr. Wu in the coffin had been hacked. The cat was so frightened that as soon as Bai Yu stepped back, the corpse immediately rose up.

Bai Yu didn't express anything about this. His eyes were empty, his expression was cold, and his sitting posture was slightly awkward.

The position vacated by Bai Yu was filled by Li Bai. After all, he was the tail of the coffin and played a role in holding down the formation, so he was indispensable.

In this way, everyone continued on their way, but this time in addition to carrying the heavy birthday coffin, they also had to bear the burden of Bai Yu who was riding upside down on the coffin. But what the fat man couldn't figure out was that there was obviously an extra Bai Yu. , but the dragon bar on the shoulders seems to have become lighter.

While there was nothing to do for the time being, Luo Tianhe told everyone about some taboos on the way to carry the coffin, "Some evil coffins have a saying of resting three times on the way to carry the coffin, which means they have to stop three times for no reason."

"The most widely circulated theory is that the deceased was afraid that he would not remember the way home, so he would stop for a while to recognize the way home, so that he could come back and visit when he missed his family."

"But those in the know understand that this is all nonsense. The reason why the coffin stopped for no reason is because the deceased was extremely resentful and unwilling to go on the road with peace of mind or to be buried in peace."

"Evil things will happen every time the coffin stops, and it will bring bloody disasters to the coffin bearers, so experts don't call it three rests, but call it three passes."

"The gates of hell are closed."

"The black cat crashing into the coffin just now was the first level. Fortunately, with Miss Bai Yu, we barely passed the first level, but this is just the beginning. I have never seen such an evil coffin behind me. I can't predict what Guan will encounter. I can only take one step at a time, and the soldiers will cover up the water and the earth."

"What's the explanation for the black cat hitting the coffin just now?"

Jiang Cheng didn't understand, so he asked. With Li Bai here, Luo Tianhe didn't dare to make up outrageous lies to deceive them. He had noticed before that Luo Tianhe's first reaction after seeing the black cat appeared was to shout out three words, stop it.

There was also Li Bai's phrase "The black cat died in front of the coffin, and the head was filled with life", which also left a deep impression on Jiang Cheng.

"A black cat crashing into a coffin has been a sign of great misfortune since ancient times. Firstly, it will disturb the corpse in the coffin and cause fraud. Secondly..." Luo Tianhe paused, "It is said that cats have nine lives, and they have different lives, and the most evil one is..." It is the ninth life of a cat, which is the last life, especially the pure black cat with no mottled color. In ancient times, this kind of black cat was called black cat, also known as Wuyunxiaotie. It is said that the third life of this cat is black cat. Nine lives can be exchanged for one life.”

The fat man broke into a cold sweat after hearing this. The big black cat just now was obviously dead and his head was smashed. That should be its ninth and last life.

"It is exchanging lives with us, asking one of us to pay for it." Yuan Shanyuan added, his voice was low and hoarse, which made people feel strong discomfort, "No, it's at least one person."

Lin Qianqian, who was already feeling guilty, became even more flustered when she heard this. She only had one Yang Fire left in her body. If Yang Qi is weak, it is easy to attract unclean things. The most important thing is that the little bastard in Jiangcheng is thinking about her. Thinking of this , Lin Qianqian quietly glanced at Jiang Cheng, but she suddenly found that the other party was also peeking at her, and at the same time showed a knowing smile.

Lin Qianqian couldn't help but shudder.

Everyone was alert along the way, but fortunately, apart from the sound of the wind and the sound of water flowing in the stream not far away, no one found anything else during this period. The remaining two levels were like a sword hanging over their heads, making people feel uneasy.

The fat man walking in the front was particularly conflicted. He hoped that the danger would come earlier so that he would not have to be nervous all the way, but he also hoped that the danger would not come. It would be best if the so-called three levels were just a bluff made up by Luo Tianhe.

But with the appearance of a fork in the road in front of them, this beautiful wish was immediately shattered.

After all, this was not the first time they had walked this road. This was a straight road with no forks in the middle, not to mention the sudden appearance of two forks on the left and right.

Including the one extending forward and the road they had just walked behind them, it just formed a crossroads.

"What should I do? Which way should I take?"

It seemed that the one that went straight ahead was the correct way, and the original way was the same. Moreover, this straight road was the clearest and most comfortable to look at, unlike the two roads on the left and right, which were not only tortuous, but also gradually submerged in darkness as the distance extended, as if leading to another world that did not belong to the living.
