My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 226 Taoist Temple
Jiang Xinghuo stood on the path and watched the monkeys getting closer and closer. This path was the only way for them.

Moreover, Jiang Xinghuo also noticed that the coffin was completely different from ordinary coffins and was only half the size of an ordinary coffin.

According to the height of an ordinary person, it is definitely impossible to fit it, unless it is a child who died prematurely.

Even the material of the coffin is different. It is not made of gold, wood, iron or copper. It is a coffin carved from bluestone! !
Melodious bell sounds came from the coffin from time to time. Jiang Xinghuo looked carefully and saw that there was a bronze bell hanging in the four corners of the coffin, which swayed with the monkey's steps.

Looking at the strange scene in front of him, Jiang Xinghuo felt more and more uneasy. He didn't know who was buried in this black stone coffin.

Of course, the person buried in the coffin might not be a human, but more likely something evil.

This is not the real world, but the underworld in the secular world. To put it another way, even in the real world, there is no such weird thing as monkeys carrying coffins.

Jiang Xinghuo triggered the Tathagatagarbha, and his small pupils slowly emerged, flashing with a deep light, but he found nothing and could not see the details of the sarcophagus at all.

At this time, the four monkeys carrying the coffin also came closer.

Jiang Xinghuo noticed that their hair had turned gray and dull, as if they were very old.

A dozen monkeys wearing tall hats and wide belts surrounded the ancient bluestone coffin and passed by Jiang Xinghuo as if they didn't see him at all and gradually moved away to the front as if they were blind.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the monkey that was gradually going away, then looked at the thunder chisel in his hand. His face was gloomy and his thoughts were racing in his mind.

This time it was by chance that I came to the underworld in the mortal world. It is not certain whether I will have such an opportunity again in the future.

Moreover, meeting these strange monkeys is a godsend opportunity. Although I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse, since we have met them, it means that we are destined to meet them. It would be a pity if we missed it.

However, Jiang Xinghuo was indeed a little worried. He didn't know what the consequences would be if he died here.

Will it be possible to revive after a few hours of rest like a character in a game?
"You have triggered the Golden Casket Collection of Books."

"Keyword automatic identification..."

"Loading content..."

"Please wait……"

Seeing the tiny words appearing in front of him, Jiang Xinghuo was stunned at first, then he reacted immediately.

Although the phone is destroyed, the game can still continue!

"You are not here in your real body, but in the form of a projection of your consciousness. After being refracted by light and sound, you have temporarily entered the secular world."

"So, even if you die here, you will only lose a trace of consciousness. It will not cause any harm to you in reality. You can recover after a good sleep."

Seeing the game text appearing in front of him, Jiang Xinghuo finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was no threat to his life, he didn't have to worry about anything else.

As for whether this game text was true or false, Jiang Xinghuo didn't think too much about it.

Anyway, things have developed to this point. Instead of worrying about the consequences, it is better to follow the guidance of the game.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo looked at the monkey that was about to disappear from his sight, used his magical speed to quickly catch up with it.

He wanted to see where these monkeys were going carrying a coffin!
Jiang Xinghuo followed these monkeys all the way. Although these monkeys were not human, they were incredibly fast. Jiang Xinghuo used his magical speed and finally did not fall behind.

I don't know how far they walked, but Jiang Xinghuo's mana was almost exhausted. The monkeys suddenly stopped, and the view in front of them suddenly became clear, with an open space. Above the open space stood a towering cliff! !
However, what shocked Jiang Xinghuo even more was that there were countless hanging coffins placed on the cliff of this peak, like chess pieces, which was a shocking sight.

The monkeys fell to their knees one after another, kowtowed to the hanging coffins on the cliff.

At this moment, a monkey carrying a coffin suddenly turned around and waved at Jiang Xinghuo, as if calling him over.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't want to go at first, but his body suddenly became uncontrollable and he walked forward involuntarily, like a puppet.

“It’s going to happen!!”

Jiang Xinghuo felt that something was wrong and subconsciously wanted to resist, but the magic power in his body seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, as heavy as lead, and unable to flow through his meridians.

He could only watch himself walk to the coffin.

At the same time, the four monkeys also lifted the coffin and walked towards the cliff in front of them, and Jiang Xinghuo followed closely behind.

Soon, one man and four monkeys walked up the cliff.

Although it was parallel to the ground, Jiang Xinghuo did not feel the slightest bit of weightlessness or loss of weight. It seemed as if his feet were glued to the cliff.

"Where are we going?"

While Jiang Xinghuo was pondering in his mind, he looked at the hanging coffins placed around him. Each coffin was carved from bluestone and was covered with traces of time.

What made Jiang Xinghuo feel strange was that all the sarcophagi he saw along the way were opened, and the inside of the coffins were empty, without any bones or remains.

It seems that countless years ago, some unknown existences were indeed buried here.

But after so many years, I don't know where those things went...

Jiang Xinghuo frowned and followed the four monkeys to the top of the cliff.

An ancient Taoist temple appeared before our eyes.

The four monkeys sent the sarcophagus into the Taoist temple, then quickly ran out, jumped up and returned to the ground.

Jiang Xinghuo also regained his ability to move. He looked at the monkeys below the cliff, then looked at the ancient temple not far away, and seemed to be thinking about something.

These monkeys took so much effort to get themselves up here, it shouldn't be for sightseeing.

Do they want to let themselves into this Taoist temple?

Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a while, then tightly gripped the thunder chisel in his hand and walked into the temple, with purple-blue arcs of electricity flashing on his body from time to time.

But what surprised Jiang Xinghuo was that the temple was unexpectedly clean and there was nothing strange inside.

Inside the empty Taoist temple, there was only a stone coffin and nothing else.

Even the walls are clean, without any of the murals and paintings commonly seen in ordinary Taoist temples.

But at this moment, Jiang Xinghuo suddenly heard a faint cough, suddenly sounded in the Taoist temple.
