He could not exist for too long. At this moment, most of the ashes on his body had disintegrated, and his entire body became thinner. The old man, whose face became blurred, raised an arm with some difficulty, as if he still wanted to do something.
However, when he raised his arm, the ashes that made up the arm began to dissipate from the palm of his hand.
At the same time, other parts of the old man's body also completely dissipated at this moment. The old man formed from ashes stayed in reality for a very short time, so short that he only appeared for less than half a minute, and then the whole person turned into a cloud of gray mist and disappeared.
, leaving no trace at all.
In the end, Li Leping didn't see the meaning of the old man's last action.
"What does this mean? It's gone now?"
At the last moment, it ended suddenly. This sudden feeling made Jiang Hao's eyes shrink, and he felt confused and frightened.
"It's getting foggy."
Suddenly.
The ghost controller's eyelids suddenly twitched, and after shouting these words, he suddenly ran forward a few steps.
Because he felt a cold breath wafting from the back door.
This cold breath is not without origin.
Unknowingly, haze began to appear in the direction of the back entrance of the temple. The haze seemed a bit light, but the color was very strange. It did not appear white like the fog in reality, but instead presented a
A depressing gray-black color.
This depressing gray-black seems to blend into the darkness of the temple, but it seems a bit abrupt because of this gray.
At first, the haze that floated into the temple was very light, but within a few seconds the haze became thicker, and the speed at which it floated became more and more alarming, and gradually it seemed to cover half of the temple.
At this moment, even the rear of the main hall was covered in haze, and the wall near the back door was no longer visible, completely covered by the thick fog.
However, in this haze that gradually eroded into the temple from the back door, when Jiang Hao and others took flashlights to shine through, they saw some abnormalities in the haze.
In the thick haze, a bamboo forest faintly emerged. It was a towering bamboo, and there was something hiding behind the bamboo. It looked like an individual, but this individual looked stiff.
The dead bodies looked nothing like living people at all.
at the same time.
The air in the temple seemed to have become a little humid, and there was gradually a rotten smell coming from the haze.
"Are you coming?"
The sudden approaching danger made Li Leping's expression darken.
Seeing the thick fog that had invaded the temple and was still drifting towards this side, he did not hesitate and immediately came to the red coffin and pushed open the lid of the coffin.
He still didn't fully understand the meaning of the old man's actions after opening the coffin, but now he obviously didn't care about that much anymore, so he could only choose to complete the first step first.
At least we need to see what is inside the coffin, and then by observing the state of the things in the coffin, it is possible to deduce the meaning of the old man's subsequent actions.
However.
The moment the coffin lid was pushed open by him.
Before they even got close to take a look, Li Leping and the others smelled a disgusting odor.
This strange smell hit their faces, and Jiang Hao and the ghost controller even changed their expressions immediately. They felt extremely nauseated and dizzy and started retching at the same time.
"Ugh...this smell..."
Jiang Hao covered his nose with one hand and pinched his throat with the other. He couldn't help but take a few steps back. He instinctively wanted to stay away from the coffin, because the smell was a taboo engraved in human genes, a mixture of...
The smell of decay and blood is the smell of corpse oil produced after death.
Moreover, the corpse oil that filled the coffin was too strong, as if a dead body had been left inside for a long time. The body was soaked and all the fat was flowing out. It smelled like rotten eggs mixed with rotten meat and salted fish.
It also adds the smell of stinking ditches.
Only Li Leping, after slightly twitching his brows, seemed to ignore the weird smell and looked directly into the coffin.
Inside this red coffin, there is a withered corpse covered with corpse spots. This corpse seems to have been there for a long time, at least more than ten years, and the body is so rotten that it cannot be seen.
His original appearance is revealed.
However, the surface of such a badly rotten corpse showed a light yellow color. This light yellow color is not the color of skin, because this light yellow color is shiny, like oil, and it just floats away.
The smell is very disgusting.
"This is the ghost confined in the red coffin."
But the moment he saw the corpse, Li Leping's eyes moved.
Because he thought that the four oil lamps placed in the main hall seemed to contain corpse oil of this color.
"So the corpse oil in the oil lamp was taken from this ghost?"
Li Leping recalled the four oil lamps that once burned, would only be extinguished due to supernatural interference.
"I see. Is that what the old man's actions actually meant?"
Looking at the corpse whose surface was covered with corpse oil, Li Leping immediately understood what the old man meant by scratching his palms with his fingers.
"Captain Li, do you understand?" Jiang Hao asked quickly.
"It's the ignition."
Li Leping looked at Jiang Hao and repeated the old man's movement of crossing his palm with his fingers.
This action is actually like lighting a match.
"The old man wanted us to set the corpse on fire, causing even more terrifying supernatural phenomena and burning this hellish place down."
Li Leping felt that he had understood most of the old man's movements.
No one would think much about it until they saw the combustibles, but as soon as they saw the corpse covered in body oil, their thoughts would suddenly flow smoothly.
However, he was still confused about the old man's movement of raising his arm before disappearing.
"But I can't control that much now. I can only take it one step at a time."
Seeing the haze that had quietly covered most of the hall and occupied more than half of the temple, Li Leping knew that he could not drag it on any longer.
He directly took out a golden lighter, lit it, and immediately threw the lighter into the coffin. Then he took Jiang Hao and Jiang Hao back several steps, fearing that the burning corpse would affect his side.
But, after the lighter was thrown into the coffin.
A few seconds passed.
No fire was seen coming out.
"Um?"
Li Leping and the three of them stayed in place, waiting for a while but found that nothing happened.
The imagined scene of the corpse oil being ignited did not appear at all.
"What's going on? Don't you want us to set the corpse on fire?"
Jiang Hao was shocked when he saw this, because he didn't think Li Leping's guess was wrong. After all, after seeing the corpse covered in corpse oil in the coffin, anyone would think of setting fire to the corpse covered in corpse oil.
, and then burned this damn place to the ground with a fire.
"It may not be that my analysis is wrong, but that normal flames cannot ignite this supernatural corpse."
Suddenly, Li Leping's eyes moved and he realized the key to the problem.
