Chapter 919 The Faded Lantern(1/3)

First seven?

In the dim lobby of the ancient house, everyone looked at the body of the skinny old man sitting on the black Taishi chair. Their expressions suddenly changed following Zhou Deng's words.

According to folklore, after a person dies, his soul comes back to life within seven days, which is called the first seven days.

On this day, the dead will turn into ghosts and return to their hometown to see their loved ones for the last time before returning to the underworld. In addition, there is another saying. If the deceased has resentment, he will turn into a ghost and seek his life in the first seven days.

"The letter from the post office requires us to stay here for seven days. If the old man dies today, then we will have to wait until the first seven days of the old man's life."

The eagle thought of some bad things, and his face became slightly gloomy.

"The resurrection of the first seven? It's just an unfounded theory. In my opinion, what is really possible is that the old man's corpse will be revived by the ghost seven days after his death. Don't look at it now, this is just a normal corpse. Maybe once it is revived, it will

It will turn into an extremely terrifying ghost, and if you stay here for seven days, you will definitely die miserably."

A ghost master among the crowd spoke up.

"That's right. Although I don't know why there is a corpse of a recently deceased old man here, but in my opinion, this old man is probably also a ghost controller. He just died now and the ghost has not yet revived, but he will definitely be in a few days.

There will be problems. I suggest you throw this body away, so that even if the evil ghost resurrects, it won't affect us."

Fan Xing said: "It's a bit risky to throw it away far away, so it's safer to nail it with coffin nails."

He said this to Yang Jian, hoping that he would use the coffin nail.

As long as Yang Jian does not have the coffin nail, his strength will be greatly reduced. Even if he is powerful, he will not have no room for resistance.

This is a disguised weakening.

Li Yang immediately stared at him and said: "You want us to use coffin nails? Don't think that I don't know what you are worried about. At worst, no one will care about this corpse. Let's see which of us can survive to the end after the evil ghost revives."

Human nature is ugly.

Once Yang Jian selflessly leaves this coffin nail on this corpse, then these people will be ready to take action.

"Li Yang, don't be angry. I'm thinking about everyone too. I admire Captain Yang very much. But at this time, facing unknown dangers, we don't have much confidence. We can only turn to Captain Yang for help. Captain Yang, you

Say a word, if you are willing to use coffin nails to eliminate the hidden dangers here, then no matter what you ask us to do, we will be willing to agree, what do you think?"

Fan Xing said very seriously and sincerely.

"Okay, I am still convinced by Ghost Eye Yang Jian's reputation. As long as Captain Yang is willing to lead by example, we will obey your orders from now on, Captain Yang."

"It's not impossible to work hard for Captain Yang. I need Captain Yang to show off some skills."

Others immediately responded.

They seemed to be vaguely united together, wanting Yang Jian to leave the nail in the coffin.

Fan Xing on the side seemed to be thinking about everyone wholeheartedly, without any selfish motives at all.

But who can become a ghost master and live to this day is a simple thing? In order to survive, it is most normal to be two-faced.

Believe them, Yang Jian has died countless times.

Yang Jian's expression changed. He turned around slightly with the cracked spear in his hand, glanced at Fan Xing, and then at the others: "You can nail the coffin if you want me. I, Yang Jian, am not a stingy person. I will do it for everyone's sake."

I am also very motivated to safely eliminate hidden dangers, but I have a small request."

"Captain Yang, if you have any requests, just ask us, as long as we can fulfill them," Fan Xing said.

In just one sentence, we have united with the remaining ghost masters to form a team.

It's not that others don't know Fan Xing's intentions, but they are just facing Yang Jian, the top leader, and they can't unite. Otherwise, if they are deprived of the right to speak, they will be reduced to cannon fodder once a supernatural incident occurs.

.

If you want to survive, you must have a certain right to speak.

Therefore, since Fan Xing dares to take this step, they don't mind cooperating with Fan Xing temporarily.

It's a pity that Zhou Deng doesn't seem to have the intention to unite. Otherwise, including this guy, he would be able to compete with Yang Jian's team.

Yang Jian said: "My request is very simple, that is, I will provide the coffin nails, and you will provide one person."

"What does Captain Yang mean?" Fan Xing asked.

Yang Jian said: "It means that I have no problem using coffin nails to deal with this corpse, but I think there is a person who talks too much, and I am not very happy. If you are willing to do me this favor and get rid of this person who talks too much, then

When I am in a good mood, I will naturally be willing to take care of you."

"If you want to survive, you have to sacrifice your life to please me, so let me see your determination."

After he finished speaking, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes stayed on Fan Xing.

Fan Xing felt a chill run through his body at this sight, and he even felt the unkind glances from several people nearby.

It seemed that he was really shaken by Yang Jian's words and wanted to take action against himself and submit a petition.

"Yang, Captain Yang, this must be serious." Fan Xing squeezed out a smile, looking slightly uneasy.

Yang Jian didn't speak, but turned around and said: "Of course, I have another suggestion, that is, if you count them all together, try it now. As long as you kill me, everything in my hand will be gone."

It’s yours, and you can do whatever you want with it.”

After saying that, he glanced at the others indifferently.

Li Yang also frowned and was ready to take action.

The other messengers hesitated for a moment, and although they did not speak, they also looked at the strangers, their eyes revealing unkindness.

No matter what, Yang Jian is still delivering messages and completing tasks just like them. We will need to rely on Yang Jian in many places in the future.

If Yang Jian is killed here, then the messengers will also be dead.

"This, this is boring. We were talking to you properly, so why did we have to take action? Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, everything just now was a misunderstanding."

When some people see that the situation is not right, they feel like they are about to get into a fight, and they immediately back down.

"No matter what we do, we don't dare to offend you, Yang Jian. Besides, I personally admire you very much. I just made a sound suggestion with no other meaning. I hope you don't take it to heart, Yang Jian."

Immediately these people apologized and explained, and their attitudes were so good that it was impossible to find fault.

If a thin-skinned person is spoken to in this way, he or she may even feel embarrassed.

Yang Jian's eyes were cold and expressionless, but he still said: "You don't have to agree immediately, you can think about it more, don't be in a hurry."

The others were silent, and even Fan Xing was stunned immediately.

Later, he realized the impact of Yang Jian's words.

From now on, as long as the ancient house is more dangerous, the probability of Fan Xing being killed by other ghost masters will be greater, because until Fan Xing dies, it is impossible for Yang Jian to use coffin nails to deal with the evil ghosts.

As for the second option, unite to deal with Yang Jian?

Do not make jokes.

Don't say you can't defeat a captain-level figure in the headquarters. Even if you can, you will inevitably be liquidated by the headquarters afterwards. What's more, there are other ghost masters around Yang Jian, so he is not alone.

At this moment, an invisible impulse and conflict was temporarily put on hold.

"Yang Jian, now that we have arrived at the ancient house, what should we do next?" Eagle broke the stalemate and asked about the next action plan.

"Find a room to rest." Yang Jian said; "You don't plan to stand in this lobby all the time."

Everyone looked at the dead body sitting there in the lobby and felt inexplicably frightened.

If there aren't too many people.

Who would want to stand in the lobby of such an eerie old house and face a tall and skinny corpse?

Yang Jian didn't care what they thought at the moment. He was going to check the rooms on both sides of the corridor to see if there was any hidden danger.

The body has been identified.

Since you don't want to waste coffin nails on this, then just leave it alone.

If this corpse is really a ghost that has been resurrected, he will not be the only one who is in danger.

and.

If according to what the ghost post office said, the ghost will appear after the seventh day, then there should be nothing unusual about the old man's body before then.

So let’s observe it first before talking about it.

Yang Jian left the lobby at this moment and came to the corridor next to the patio. He walked to the corridor on the right.

The floor of the corridor is made of bluestone tiles. It seems that no one has been here for a long time. The ground is a little black and does not seem very clean.

The first room in the corridor on the right is closer to the patio, so you can still clearly see the door and window.

The wooden hollow windows look very retro. Standing at the door and peeking your head slightly, you can see what's going on inside.

The room was very empty, with only an old round table, a cabinet, and a canopy bed. There were quilts on the bed, but they were all covered with a layer of dust, making it look like it had been unoccupied for a long time.

"A very normal room." Yang Jian did not feel any supernatural presence in the room.

Li Yang touched the door with his hand, then shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't notice it.

The room is safe.

Yang Jian continued to walk forward and saw the door of the second room.

There is a copper lock hanging on the wooden door, which locks the room and cannot be opened. What's weird is that this room has no windows and the walls are intact. It seems that there were no windows designed for this room when the house was built.
To be continued...
