Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 329 Memorial Tablet
"song?"

Wei Xi had already asked his other self and knew that the other party had not heard the song, so he did not say much and went straight to the coffin.

Wei Xi stopped only when he reached the coffin, carefully circled it twice, and then approached it with confidence.

The coffin looked familiar in my memory. Not only was it pitch black, but it was also larger than an ordinary coffin.

Wei Xi had loved playing in cemeteries since childhood, and had experienced a drought-induced famine a few years earlier, so he'd seen quite a few coffins. He hadn't been able to see them clearly from inside the house before, but now, under the bright moonlight, he could see that this coffin was... a little too tall.

"What are you looking at?" Weixi No. 2 came over. "You have one of these coffins, right?"

Wei Xi approached the coffin, half-crouched on the ground, stretched out his right hand, and knocked on the lower coffin lid. A slightly hollow sound came from it.

Hearing this sound, Wei Xi quickly concluded that the coffin had a layer. However, she was a little skeptical. After all, she had slept in a coffin before and had never felt a layer under the bottom plate.

Wei Xi's paranoia was a natural trait. She glanced at the fallen coffin lid, then confidently reached inside and pressed the bottom panel all the way down.

"That's strange," Weixi No. 2 weighed the bamboo knife in his hand, and a sense of security emerged in his heart, "What could be hidden in there? You're not afraid that I will push you in!"

"You're too late. The coffin has fallen to the ground." Wei Xi said calmly, looking up, "Give me a hand!"

Wei Xi No. 2 was very confident, knowing that the other party had discovered key information, so according to Wei Xi's arrangement, the two of them worked together to remove the bottom of the coffin.

But the process was a bit bumpy: the bottom of the coffin could not be removed from the inside at all. In the end, two people worked together to turn the coffin over and barely removed the bottom of the coffin from the outside.

"This is... that skeleton!"

Wei Xi wasn't as surprised as his other self. Instead, he felt a sense of wonder, and a sense of seeing a familiar face... no! A familiar face!

"How did this skeleton get into the coffin? No way," Weixi No. 2 immediately thought of the key to the problem. "Is this the Saint? The skeleton in the village! So... this coffin is a sedan chair?"

"What are we? Dowry? Burial objects?"

Wei Xi examined the skeleton in front of him, and a thought crossed his mind: How could someone be so unlucky both in life and after death?

No way? No way? Could someone really be so unlucky all the time?
"I...we are a blessed couple," Wei Xi replied, "other things are not important. The important thing is to comb her hair properly...but where did she get her hair from?"

Looking at the exceptionally smooth and white skeleton, both pairs of eyes were filled with confusion: A good cook cannot cook without rice, the skeleton really does not have a single hair, how can they comb her hair?
Wei Xi No. 2 came up with a plan. He touched the end of his hair and whispered, "Can we lend her some hair?"

"I don't want it. My hair will only get thinner. Senior Brother Wei's hair growth pills are 666 high-grade spirit stones each, and that's the internal price!"

Upon hearing this, Weixi No. 2 lamented, "What a pity I didn't buy one. Such an expensive pill, maybe it would be useful..."

The two men didn't want to let the "saint" lie in the broken coffin forever, so they respectfully placed the bones on the coffin lid, trying to comfort the deceased.

"Look, do these symbols look like the snake script that Lian Gouqie was assigned to study?"

This experience was known to both of them. Wei Xi leaned over and found that the other party was pointing to a line of rough snake characters engraved on the inside of the mezzanine, which looked quite familiar.

Unfortunately, the two of them were not proficient in writing, and the information for comparison was given to Lian Gouqie who was not in front of them, so they could not see anything for a while.

Unable to find a breakthrough in this line of snake writing, Wei Xi turned around and came up with another idea.

"You should have a paper lantern. Let's go grab... find that lantern!"

Weixi No. 2 quickly followed Weixi's train of thought, "You want to use a lantern to illuminate the skeleton? Just like you illuminated that paper figurine and turned it into wood!"

"Yes, if we can get that lantern..." Wei Xi's tone was very straightforward, and it was impossible to tell that she had been cautious and had not disclosed the matter of her petrification.

But it is enough to convince Weixi No. 2 that there is a wooden paper man.

The two of them made a prompt decision and immediately set off towards the red house that Wei Xi remembered.

"Do you think combing your hair will really help you get away with this?"

"I don't know. This is something I got out of the paper man's mouth. I don't want to wake up in a coffin again and again. It's best to follow this path."

"How did you know?"

"I'm not lying in a coffin now, and that's enough."

Neither of them was talkative, and after saying these few words, they each contentedly enjoyed the silence.

Finally arriving at the red house, they saw the paper man with a lantern standing motionless in front of the door, as if frozen in place.

Of course, the paper lantern they were most concerned about was in the paper figure's hand. Although the candlelight was still shaky, in Wei Xi's eyes it was brighter than the sun in the sky.

Stealing things is something that only happens once, and now it was even easier for the two of them to do it. In just a moment, the paper lantern was in Wei Xi's hands.

Oddly enough, the paper man didn't have any extreme reaction, which even surprised the two well-prepared people.

Moreover, Wei Xi did not see those lively monkeys, and he felt uneasy, so he decided to go into the house to take a look.

When you push open the door, you will see a dazzling red color. Six-fingered flower-mouthed monkeys are standing in a row in the deep pit in the middle.

It was originally where coffins were stored.

Ever since seeing those deformed skulls, Wei Xi had felt uncomfortable around the leucoglossus. Suppressing her emotions, Wei Xi's gaze quickly scanned the room.

The two people's eyes met at the place where the memorial tablet was supposed to be placed, and after a moment they looked away tacitly.

There was no memorial tablet and no discussion, each of them had their own plans in mind.

In order to avoid complications, the two did not disturb the flower-mouthed monkey when they left the room.

When the door was opened, the paper man did not stick to it, but stood there. Then the mottled face of the paper man began to fall apart, and in an instant the whole paper man turned into powder and dissipated into the air.

"It seems you are right," Weixi No. 2 said solemnly, "If everything goes well, this matter will be over soon."

Wei Xi did not answer, but just touched his waist, and the scene of the Changsheng Wood cutting the Nei Ci in half appeared in his mind.

The journey back seemed to be much faster. At the gate of the quiet courtyard, there were two red lanterns that shone even brighter, like the scarlet eyeballs of a wild beast.

This silence made the two of them feel nervous and they couldn't help but quicken their pace.

The skeleton lay quietly on the coffin lid until Wei Xi held the newly acquired paper lantern to the skull.

The skeleton did not grow hair as Wei Xi had imagined. Instead, it sat up directly and slowly stood up under the shocked gazes of the two people.
