Chapter 140: Carrying the coffin

The cold, dark water, the strange colored coffin, and the knowledge that there is a powerful vampire in the coffin. These things, when combined, will make anyone feel cold at heart, not to mention the slight vibration of the coffin right in front of them.

I have seen many big scenes, and I have almost forgotten what it is to be afraid, but the scene here successfully aroused a trace of fear in my heart.

It was just this slight tremor that made me and Xiao Chengqian both freeze on the spot, and for a moment we didn’t dare to make any movements.

After about two or three seconds, Xiao Chengqian looked at me and asked me with his eyes what I was going to do. What else could I do? I couldn’t possibly be scared off by a coffin, could I? I took out the ink thread from my backpack, and the meaning was clear. Seal the coffin, then carry the coffin to shore, don’t think about anything.

When he saw me take out the ink thread, Xiao Chengqian nodded and swam to the other side of the coffin, ready to tie the ink thread with me.

At this time, I also carefully approached the coffin, from a distance of less than one meter to a complete close to it, I could reach out and touch it. During this process, the coffin did not produce any strange changes, and my heart gradually calmed down.

I was about to start sealing the coffin when Xiao Chengqian also took hold of one end of the ink thread and began to work with me. But things were not at all as calm as we had imagined. The moment the ink thread touched the coffin, it began to shake very obviously, as if the coffin were struggling.

If you are an experienced Taoist, you will generally think that this is a sign that the corpse is about to rise. At this moment, the corpse is the most terrifying, and it is generally avoided. However, Xiao Chengqian and I had no choice underwater. At this moment, Xiao Chengqian looked at me again, and I gritted my teeth and signaled Xiao Chengqian to continue.

The whole process of sealing the coffin was not pleasant. The strange coffin would sometimes shake violently, and sometimes it would be quiet. And in the dark water, there was always a faint sneer, as if there was a pair of eyes behind us watching us do all this, mocking our lack of self-confidence.

I kept repeating the mantra of calmness in my heart, trying to keep my hands steady as I sealed the coffin. In fact, I wasn’t afraid of the vampire. If it really came to life and fought with me, I would calm down. What was really frightening was that it knew there was a vampire, but it kept reminding you of its existence, but it never came to life, and it showed symptoms of coming to life. This would keep people’s hearts hanging.

The feeling of waiting for the test results is much more difficult than knowing the results.

I don’t know how long it took to seal the coffin, but when the last thread of ink was tied, I felt like my whole body was almost going to freeze. The only good news was that after the ink was tied, the coffin finally stopped shaking strangely, and the faint sneer also disappeared.

I took a deep breath, and could clearly feel that there was a small amount of oxygen missing from the oxygen tank behind me. It was obvious how long I had been holding my breath. Through the flashlight, I could also see Xiao Chengqian’s pale face.

I didn’t want to delay any longer underwater, so I held onto the coffin’s two corners and signaled Xiao Chengqian to help me lift it.

The coffin was not as heavy as I had imagined, and with the help of the buoyancy of the water, Xiao Chengqian and I exerted our strength together and finally moved the coffin. However, when we both lifted it up, a visible black mist suddenly rose from the bottom of the coffin. At that moment, I seemed to hear the sound of hundreds of people screaming in agony, followed by a bone-chilling coldness.

This cold was different from the cold in the water. It froze me almost instantly. At this moment, Xiao Chengqian and I lifted the coffin together, over our heads, ready to support it as it rose. I don’t know why it suddenly became incredibly heavy. The sudden gravity actually made me kneel in the mud at the bottom of the water. Xiao Chengqian was in the same situation. It was just that we were both stiff and unable to move!

At the moment I knelt down, the flashlight in my hand almost slipped out of my grip, and the light shone obliquely on the bottom of the pond where the coffin had just been. I saw that there were no less than twenty skulls in the mud at the bottom of the pond… and the empty sockets of the skulls seemed to be “looking” at us. There were clearly no eyes there, but I felt that the dark sockets were filled with resentment and sadness!

At that moment, I also understood that the angry spirit that had just risen up was being suppressed and absorbed by the coffin. When Xiao Chengqian and I lifted the coffin, we were not careful and were hit by such a strong angry spirit. No wonder our bodies suddenly became stiff.

As for the sudden weight of the coffin, it should be the vampire in the coffin who was playing tricks, using its corpse aura to suppress our aura in an instant with the help of the resentment. In fact, the weight has not fundamentally changed, but our aura has become weaker after being hit by the resentment, and then suppressed again… When a person’s aura is weak, it will feel very strange that everything is heavy.

Xiao Chengqian and I realized this at almost the same time. As Taoist priests, if we don’t respond to this situation urgently, we’re not really Taoist priests.

Instead of putting down the coffin, Xiao Chengqian and I looked at each other, then simultaneously used our power, and shouted silently in the water. This was not a full-fledged roar, but a way to instantly enhance one’s aura. It was like a weak person who, when pushed to the limit, suddenly shouted. At that moment, everyone would clearly feel that this person’s aura had increased, and instinctively feel that they should not provoke him anymore, and instinctively feel that they should retreat.

Although that person did not instantly become infinitely powerful or anything like that… this method of raising the qi field is based on this principle, but compared to the ordinary angry roar, the Taoist method emphasizes many more techniques.

The enhancement of the qi field allowed Xiao Chengqian and I to escape from the heavy pressure, and our stiff bodies gradually recovered.

We didn’t have much time to talk, so we both chose to carry the coffin upstream at the same time. Before we even opened the coffin, it had already caused a lot of strange things to happen. If we delayed any longer, who knows what else would happen?

However, I couldn’t help but glance at the muddy soil where the human skull was buried. I didn’t know how many human skeletons would be unearthed if I dug deeper. There should be people who were accidentally bewitched by Dia, but there should also be people who were dragged here by the vicious fish for Pater. This bottom of the pond is actually another “blood pool,” but the flowing water has taken away the evil here…

On the way back, nothing else happened, but the cold breath from the coffin kept torturing Xiao Chengqian and me. If we were ordinary people, we would have been completely frozen in the process of floating up, and then sank to the bottom of the water again with the coffin.

Xiao Chengqian and I were relying on our own strength to resist!

With a loud splash, Xiao Chengqian and I finally surfaced. The moment I saw the sunlight, I felt it for the first time, and it was so warm. Although there was only a little sunlight in the deep pool, it seemed to instantly dispel the coldness that had come from the bottom of my heart.

Above the water, the coffin finally became “normal.” The morning sun, though not strong, was full of positive energy, at least temporarily suppressing some “unusual movements.” After all, the vampire in the coffin was suppressed by the seal of the master, so it couldn’t cause too much trouble!

Xiao Chengqian and I carried the coffin and gradually approached the rock. At this time, Uncle Johnny threw a roll of rope just in time. After all, the vampire in the coffin had inevitably come into contact with the vitality of the two of us, Xiao Chengqian and I. If it came into contact with more, it would be even more powerful when it rose from the dead. This situation must be avoided. Except for Xiao Chengqian and I, no one else could touch the coffin again.

Xiao Chengqian and I pulled the rope that Uncle Johnny had thrown down, tied the coffin, and then took advantage of the time when Uncle Johnny was pulling the coffin to quickly climb out of the water, climb up the rock, and then before we had time to take off our diving suits, we grabbed the rope with Uncle Johnny and pulled the coffin up onto the rock.

On the rock, except for the three of us, everyone avoided the coffin by about two meters, and sprinkled a layer of glutinous rice mixed with black ash around the perimeter of where they were standing! The glutinous rice is needless to say, and the black ash is a plant of the most yang, like the ashes from burning calamus. In fact, there is also a mixture of egg liquid in it. After all, chickens are also yang, and eggs also contain a lot of yang, but the world knows very little about it. In the case of a large amount of chicken blood being needed, and not wanting to kill many lives to create many sins, it is generally used to extract chicken blood with eggs, although the effect is not so good.

As for black dog blood, Taoists will not use it unless they have no choice. The karma of killing is too heavy, even though black dog blood is the best for breaking evil spells.

All preparations were complete. I looked at the time, and it was about half an hour before noon… So Xiao Chengqian and I took off our diving suits with confidence. We weren’t in a hurry, and there was no harm in exposing the coffin to the morning sun for a while. It would also suppress the guy to a certain extent. The only regret was that there was obviously not enough sunlight here.

I lit a cigarette and took the time to regain my strength, while Uncle Johnny also handed Xiao Chengqian and me a bowl of ginger soup.

“Chengyi, the moment the corpse rises, remember that you must suppress Patel at that moment, and leave the rest to me.” As I and Xiao Chengqian drank the ginger soup, Uncle Johnny repeated something that he had already said many times, but still could not put his mind at ease.

But we didn’t mind his nagging. We could understand his nervousness. At this time, the talisman that the master had used to locate the location, which looked like a spirit-summoning banner, was also erected on the rock, as if it were really summoning the spirits.
