Chapter 249 Dark Red Coffin

"Get out! I don't want to do business with you!"

The old man had a very bad temper. Seeing Ji Li rush into his shop without any explanation, he felt even more rude.

He chased after him and grabbed Ji Li's sleeve.

The others looked at the frail old man and did not dare to stop him, fearing that they would be hurt accidentally.

But Ji Li could not care so much. He hated anyone who had close contact with him, especially strangers. He turned coldly and shook off the old man's entanglement.

He took out a bag of gold beans from his arms, put it on the table, and said indifferently:

"I took a look and saw that there were many coffins in your yard. I only want seven. Don't say you don't want to do business with me."

Ji Li was a wicked man. His patience was sometimes good and sometimes bad. He had a high tolerance for tasks, but he usually had no patience when dealing with people.

The old man looked at the bag of gold and became silent. Perhaps he was shocked by Ji Li's attitude, or perhaps he was blocked by the bag of gold.

However, he never touched the bag of gold. Instead, he held the boy and walked to the gate, moved a bench and sat down.

Ji Li had already entered the yard. From the outside, the store was not big, but it was actually a different world.

There were mostly funeral supplies at the door, coffins were placed in the middle courtyard, and the house behind was where the grandparents lived.

There were about ten coffins in this yard.

In fact, carrying a coffin was quite unreasonable.

An ordinary coffin was 6.5 feet long, 2 feet wide, and 2.3 feet high, which was the size of an adult living person.

And this was only the internal size. The size of the entire coffin was about two meters.

The coffins in front of him were basically made of fir or cypress, and they were not small in weight.

Ji Li simply lifted the bottom, but found that he needed to use all his strength to lift a corner with one hand. I am afraid that this ordinary empty coffin would weigh nearly 200 kilograms.

This was too fatal for the shop assistants.

Just carrying the coffin took up most of his strength, how could he deal with the ghosts ready to attack at any time?

Even more so, how could Chang Nian and other women carry it?

Ji Li felt that he had thought things too simple, so he hesitated and said to the others:

"It seems that we can't carry this kind of adult coffin into the mountain. Go to other stores to search for small coffins for children. At the very least, we must buy cheap thin-skinned coffins."

Everyone saw Ji Li's attempt just now. Now finding small coffins and thin-skinned coffins is the only way.

It's impossible to really be carried into the mountain by a big coffin, which is no different from seeking death.

Everyone left, and Ji Li was still circling around the pile of coffins. He was thinking about what the hotel's purpose was in asking for a coffin in exchange for a coffin?

But he still couldn't guess it. It's not clear what they will experience after entering Fengshan, so the choice of coffin becomes more complicated.

Choosing a coffin is the first step of the task, so is it really that simple?

Ji Li thought not. He always felt that the use of coffins would be very large, at least throughout the whole situation.

Gradually, he set his sights on the coffin placed in the corner.

This is the most special coffin. Other coffins are pure black, and some are even rough and mixed with brown.

But only this coffin is a rich dark red, which looks like it has been soaked in blood and has been very dark.

But when you touch it, you can feel a smooth and round feeling, like jade, with a hint of coolness.

"You don't deserve this coffin."

Just as Ji Li was thinking, the old man with a bad temper came to his side at some point and said this.

Ji Li's mind moved, and he hurriedly asked: "Is there anything special about this coffin?"

"Red is the first of the five primary colors. Coffins bury the dead as if they were alive. Red coffins only bury nobles. You don't deserve it."

"The texture of this coffin is not ordinary. It doesn't look like something you can make." Ji Li retracted his gaze coldly and wiped the dust off his palm.

"It has been here for a long time without anyone visiting. It looks like it can't be sold. Why don't you sell it to me today?"

Ji Li believes in rapport. He tried to open the coffin lid before and found that the coffin was very light.

This dark red coffin is of extraordinary quality and is definitely not as heavy as it looks. If you really want to carry a coffin into the mountains, this coffin may be of great use.

The hotel asked them to choose a coffin, but they didn't know the task format. To be on the safe side, Ji Li chose a normal-sized and solid one to avoid loopholes.

The old man saw that Ji Li seemed to really want it, and suddenly his eyes became deep, and he asked with a smile:

"Who said I haven't sold it before? Everyone can see that this coffin is extraordinary. I have sold it three times in total, but I didn't bury it."

"Oh?" Ji Li became interested when he heard this and wanted to continue asking.

But the old man didn't seem to want to say more, and he kept silent about how he got this coffin.

Ji Li looked at his departing figure, his face becoming increasingly gloomy. This old man had ulterior motives and was definitely not the kind of good person who looked cold on the outside but was warm on the inside.

The red coffin has different meanings in different regions.

What the old man said about burying nobles in a red coffin is indeed one of them, but that refers to the pure red color.

But this coffin is indeed a dark color, not pure red, which means that its meaning has completely changed.

If Ji Li remembered correctly, the blood-red coffin was a sign of great misfortune.

And the blood-red color like this has completely penetrated into the coffin itself, and after years and months, it has become dark red, and will become a great evil.

"Hundred Ghost Coffin!"

There are ghosts in the world, and one coffin seals one ghost, but only the Hundred Ghost Coffin can seal a hundred ghosts.

The great evil thing can suppress ghosts, just like the ghost in Tiannan College, which can supervise other ghosts.

In any case, it is not a good thing to get close to this coffin, but Ji Li still chose it.

First of all, it is due to the rules of the hotel, and secondly, the coffin is very light and it is not a problem to carry it. The last reason is just as he thought.

The great evil thing may play an alternative role in the mission.

Anyway, there are more ghosts, so there is no need to worry.

Ji Li decided to take a gamble and began to take off his backpack, punch holes in the coffin and thread ropes so that it can be carried firmly on his back.

About an hour later, there were less than forty minutes before the start of the mission, and the other clerks gradually returned.

Ji Li had already carried the dark red coffin on his back. He couldn't stand up straight, but he was just hunched over. Since it wasn't too heavy, he could still move freely.

Chang Nian, Tian Xiaoyu, Dong Yuan and Yu Guo also came in one after another, and they also had coffins on their backs.

But they were all thin-skinned coffins, the cheapest and least sturdy ones. Even the coffin on Tian Xiaoyu's body was unstable because of the holes and ropes.

But even so, Tian Xiaoyu still had great difficulty walking. Her physical strength was really too poor.

Yu Guo was not much better. He had an injury in his ribs. At this moment, he was carrying the coffin and his face was red with his head down.

Chang Nian didn't react much, and Dong Yuan would be fine in the short term.

Ji Li looked at the few people, hesitated for a moment, and still expressed his guess.

Chang Nian took a breath when he heard this: "Are you doubting that we can't choose a coffin at will, or do we have to carry it according to the rules?"

Ji Li didn't want to say more, but this involved Chang Nian and Yu Guo, he still hoped that the two could stick to it and choose a regular black coffin.

Yu Guo didn't think much about it. He was very cherishing his life now, and he couldn't die before seeing A Lian, so he quickly unloaded the coffin and started to choose on the spot.

Chang Nian and Dong Yuan also took the advice. Anyway, although the hotel always has a coffin, it only needs to be within a two-meter range, and you can put it down to rest when you can't bear it.

However, Tian Xiaoyu tried the black coffin several times, but it was still too difficult. In the end, she changed to Chang Nian's original thin-skinned coffin, which was considered a sturdier one.

It was not until then that Ji Li realized that their team was missing two people. He frowned and looked out the door.

"Why haven't Tang Duan and Hong Fu come back yet?"
