All Girlfriends Are Ghosts

Chapter 226: Vermilion Coffin

The village at this time can already be called lively and extraordinary.

The strange laughter one after another and the constant sound of footsteps made this quiet and silent village alive.

It's just that this kind of awakening is not necessarily a good thing for Yang Xuming and the others.

Because of those laughter and footsteps, they are leaving their respective houses and are approaching Yang Xuming and the others.

Ying Sixue whispered, "Isn't the door closed yet..."

Yang Xuming shook his head, "It's useless to close the door. Those things are really coming to us. This door can't be closed at all."

After speaking, Yang Xuming glanced at the shadow beside him again.

After a closer look, this shadow was squatting and small, but with healthy arms and legs, it should not be Li Zi's sister-in-law.

So is that ghost hiding somewhere else?

Or, this shadow is actually Li's sister-in-law?

Yang Xuming still couldn't see the truth through the mist in front of him.

In the village, those footsteps have already begun to approach.

It can be foreseen that many things gathered in the vicinity of Yang Xuming and the others.

But at this moment, an unexpected situation emerged.

A piercing and loud rooster crowing resounded throughout the village.

Those laughter and footsteps disappeared in vain.

In a huge village, instantly fell into unspeakable silence.

Yang Xuming and Ying Sixue looked at each other, and both understood the situation in front of them.

"The chicken is alive..." Yang Xuming whispered.

As the rooster guarding this small village came back to life, all the laughter and footsteps in the village stopped abruptly and disappeared completely.

It seemed that all those things disappeared in an instant, which seemed a bit abrupt.

Ying Sixue realized something and turned back quickly.

Then, she saw the white coffin tightly covered behind her.

Ying Sixue gently pulled the corner of Yang Xuming's clothes and whispered, "Look at the coffin..."

After Yang Xuming turned around, he also saw the coffin in the hall that did not know when to close.

He was a little surprised.

Because he and Ying Sixue are standing here, they haven't heard any noise behind them, and the coffin lid has been in the corner before.

Now it's covered back silently?

Can the rooster's crow reset everything in this small village?

Yang Xuming and the others looked at the shrine behind them at the same time. The shrine that was chopped into several pieces by Yang Xuming was still broken and had not recovered.

"But we should be considered safe next?" Ying Sixue asked in a low voice.

Yang Xuming nodded, "So far, it looks like this. As long as the chicken is still alive, those things in the village don't seem to appear. You must wait for the chicken to die before the riot will begin."

Ying Sixue added, “When the chicken is dead and the spider monster leaves, other things in the village will start moving. In other words, those things in the village are weaker than the spider monster.”

"In other words, the current situation in this village is both strong and weak... a bunch of burnt ghosts hiding in the shrine, a spider monster from outside the village, and an invisible ghost hiding in a coffin. These are the things that are currently active in the village."

"But if the rooster doesn't die, none of these things will come out."

"And every time that spider monster comes to the village, it has to take a prey away before leaving... Well, the only thing that can't be figured out now is the dark shadow that staggered out and was taken away by the spider. It was a ghost. It's something else."

Ying Sixue's speculation was similar to what Yang Xuming had thought.

"Let's go, let's see what's going on in that mourning hall first," Yang Xuming planned to take Ying Sixue to see the mourning hall.

The girl's observation and knowledge are broader than Yang Xuming, maybe the girl can find something wrong.

The two left the house where they were currently and went straight to the mourning hall at the end of the village.

Just like when Yang Xuming came before, this mourning hall still maintained its original appearance.

A red coffin with vermillion lacquer stopped quietly in the mourning hall, the holy breeze floated silently in the night breeze, and the dim candlelight was burning in the mourning hall.

Ying Sixue found that the white candle in her hand turned green. "Does this mean that it is temporarily safe?"

Yang Xuming nodded, "It should be like this."

They entered this mourning hall one after another.

Yang Xuming walked around the mourning hall and found nothing.

When he returned to the door, he found Ying Sixue staring at the portrait in front of the coffin.

He asked, "Did you find anything?"

Ying Sixue looked at the portrait and said, “This deceased man is wearing a Buddhist bead and short hair. He seems to be a lay disciple, and at least he should have Buddhist beliefs.”

"He is between forty and fifty years old, his face is not ferocious, he has wrinkles around his eyes, I can see that he laughs often, has a good mentality, and the probability of being a bandit is not high."

"But this nest of bandits in Yegu Cave is a group of uneducated mountain people, it is impossible to have this kind of temperament."

"But the appearance of this portrait here means that he must have some connection with the group of bandits who were burned to death in Yegudong."

"I just don't know if his corpse is in the Zhuqi coffin."

"The coffin in the whole village is either white or black, but only here is red, and there are also mourning halls, hanging white papers, and statues. This kind of treatment is the only one in the whole village."

"Here, it must be a very important key point."

Ying Sixue analyzed and looked at Yang Xuming, "Can you open the coffin?"

"Uh...open the coffin? Are you serious?" Yang Xuming asked.

Ying Sixue nodded, "Now that the rooster is not dead, opening the coffin shouldn't be great. In other words, if there is really something terrifying in it, then the coffin cannot be opened until the rooster dies."

"Unless the rooster can't suppress what's inside."

After listening to Ying Sixue's words, Yang Xuming took a deep breath and said, "OK, I'll try it now and see if I can open it."

With that, Yang Xuming walked to the vermilion lacquer coffin and tried to push open the coffin lid.

However, as Ying Sixue said, the lid of the coffin was so tight that it couldn't be pushed open at all, as if it had been completely nailed to death.

"Well, the coffin really can't be opened," Ying Sixue said, "this is a good thing and a bad thing."

"The good thing is that the rooster can hold the contents of the coffin. Even the contents of this vermilion lacquered coffin must obey the rule that the rooster cannot come out unless it dies."

"The bad news is that we seem to be more dangerous. This vermilion lacquered coffin is so weird and special, and the ghost in it is definitely the strongest kind in the village. I suspect it is stronger than the one that crawled out of the white coffin."

"Of course, it is also possible that there is only one ghost in the coffin. Usually it lies in the vermilion lacquered coffin. Once the rooster dies, it can enter and leave the other coffins at will."
