Villager of Destiny

Chapter 43 Three Incense Burning

The incense seemed to be extinguished by that hand.

I took a deep breath and walked over.

After waiting for a while, the hand did not return to the original position, as if the hand should have been there. I felt uneasy, but I bit my finger again and dripped blood on the incense burner.

Not long after, two sticks of incense were slowly lit on the censer.

Seeing this, I was a little relieved.

I thought that maybe this hand itself was used to extinguish the incense, otherwise the three incense sticks would not be more than half, I comforted myself.

The statue behind the altar also spoke again at this time.

"Burning the second incense, you can open the evil coffin!"

At the same time, I heard a creak from outside the hall, as if a door had suddenly opened.

I hurried out, and saw at a glance that the door of the originally closed hall had been opened, and the inside had also changed from the original darkness to light, as if there were candles shining.

I subconsciously thought that Uncle Ghost was saved.

At the same time, I also realized that the so-called suppressing evil coffin should be the black coffin.

And the reason why Uncle Ghost and I were sealed inside one after another, nine out of ten is because our method of opening the coffin was incorrect.

Only by lighting two incense sticks, maybe there will be no problem opening the black coffin.

But at the same time I also have some doubts.

The one pretending to be Uncle Ghost obviously knows a lot more about Chenghuang Temple than I do, doesn't he know this?
With doubts, I soon returned to the main hall.

But I was not in a hurry to open the lid of the black coffin, but looked around first.

Because although I guessed that the black coffin was the evil-suppressing coffin, that was only my own guess. If I guessed wrong, even if I rescued Uncle Ghost, I might be in danger myself.

After searching for a while, I didn't see the second coffin in the main hall, so my heart relaxed a little, and then I set my sights on the statue of the City God again, and after making sure that there was no change in it, I went Came to the black coffin.

Soon the black coffin was pushed away by me.

But looking at the scene inside the black coffin, I was dumbfounded again.

There is no ghost uncle in it.

At first glance, I didn't even see a person. There was only a piece of yellow paper in the coffin, and a small person was drawn on the paper.

City God stickers?
I am a little stunned.

How could there be City God stickers here?
Where did Uncle Ghost go?
Could it be that Uncle Ghost was changed by this City God sticker?

I just felt a chill down my back.

I can be quite sure that this City God sticker did not exist before, and the yellow City God sticker is something that belongs to Uncle Ghost as far as I know.

Again I thought it was ridiculous.

I have seen the people transformed by Chenghuang stickers more than once. Except for the woman, most of them are like puppets, and there is still a big difference from real people.

Could it be that Uncle Ghost wasn't locked in this black coffin?

Before he was imprisoned, he used the Chenghuang stickers to change himself instead of himself?

As soon as I thought of this, I rejected it again.

In my impression, each City God sticker is a one-time use, and it will be turned into ashes after use.

So this City God sticker has never been used.

Unless there are other usages that I don't know about Chenghuang stickers.

Except for this.

That is, there are some secrets in this hall that I haven't discovered.

But I looked around and still didn't see anything.

But from the beginning to the end, nothing happened to the statue or the black coffin in the main hall, which made me confirm that the black coffin should be the evil coffin.

Which means my guess is correct.

It’s just correct, this time, apart from Uncle Ghost’s unexpected disappearance, I didn’t get any clues to light the third incense stick, only the Chenghuang sticker.

It can't be that this Chenghuang sticker is the condition for lighting the third incense, right?
I thought, feeling a little disappointed.

Still, I decided to give it a try.

After all, apart from this City God post, I didn't find anything else.

I didn't hesitate any longer, and went directly to the second hall.

But standing in front of the incense burner, I was a little bit troubled.

How to do it?
Burned?

I looked at the Chenghuang post, then looked at the censer, and thought for a while that I first dripped blood on the censer according to the old rules, but there is no doubt that there was no movement in the censer this time, even the one that had been lit by me Those two sticks of incense should be burned again.

Could it be that it was posted on the City God?

I thought about it, and dripped the blood on it again.

However, there was still no response.

This made me a little upset immediately, there was no reaction or clue, it was all about guessing, I really didn't know how to guess.

You can't burn this City God sticker, right?
Thinking of this, I subconsciously set my sights on the City God stickers. I have tried all the methods, but it seems that this is the only thing I haven't done yet.

After hesitating for a while, I took out the fire folder, thinking that there was nothing else to do anyway, so I put this yellow City God sticker on the fire folder and burned it.

In an instant, the yellow City God sticker turned into ashes.

However, there was still no response.

I couldn't help being a little disappointed.

Looking at the ashes on the ground, I suddenly became a little irritable.

This City God sticker is the only clue I have so far, and now the clues are gone.

However, at this moment, the remains sitting on the futon suddenly moved.

Its hand that was on the incense burner was finally withdrawn in front of my face.

Not only that, a layer of flesh and blood began to appear on the remains, and that layer of flesh and blood covered the skeleton at a speed visible to my naked eyes.

In a short while, that skeleton directly became a flesh and blood person.

And this guy looks familiar to me.

It was clearly the old woman I met when I went up the mountain.

I was taken aback.

Sitting directly on the ground with one buttocks.

This scene was even more shocking to me than when I saw that Zhuang Yue came back from the dead in Niang'er Village.

However, I soon discovered that something was wrong.

Although the skeleton has turned into the appearance of the old woman, it looks like flesh and blood, but if you look closely, you can clearly see that there is still a white bone under the flesh and blood.

Gives an unreal feeling.

"fake?"

I stood up from the ground and was about to lean over to have a look.

At this moment, she suddenly stood up from the futon.

But she didn't seem to see me, but bowed three times to the incense burner on the altar table.

After worshiping, she put it on the futon again, but this time she also took the incense burner in her hand.

And after she got the incense burner in her hands, all the incense that I couldn't re-ignite after trying all the methods actually ignited.

And as the three incense sticks were lit, the statue behind the altar made another sound.

"Burning three incense sticks, you can enter the City God's Hall!"

"Enter, worship the City God!"
