Just as Ling Seven and the other two walked out of the alley of the ancestral hall, they saw a group of old women chatting idly by the side. As he walked past, he heard clearly that they were talking about the newly built event square in the village. It was these aunties who played a role in spreading the news of big and small matters in the village. The village might not know what kind of award you won, but if you did something indecent, you might be discussed by the people in the neighboring village the next day.
In the crowd, there was a loud voice. She had a strong back and a strong waist. Her cheeks were red and her hair was cut short, making her look very capable. She peeled the leeks in her hand clean and shouted,"Ah!" You don't know! In the newly built square, there were actually many boxes dug out.”
"What box?" A tanned, skinny woman asked curiously as she held her hands and leaned forward.
"What box? It was the coffin of a person's death! You don't know, it's better to dig it out."
Originally, the two of them were not interested in this, but one of the women said," Do you know that people say that the coffin is not old, but new? The dead people inside are still numbered!”The woman tidied up the vegetables in her hands and stretched her head out to speak to those people.
When Ling Qi heard this, he glanced at Lin Yi. The two of them looked at each other and slowed down at the same time. They were listening carefully to the conversation between the women.
"What? How do you know?" One of the women couldn't believe it and asked in surprise.
"Eh? One day, my man came back to look for work. He went to ask around at night and happened to see a group of people opening something. He saw it when he was looking through it!”
"Is what you said true?" The few of them still didn't believe him, but their voices became softer. Lin Yi patted Ling Seven and the two of them walked forward normally.
Just as they turned into an intersection, Ling Seven hurriedly asked Lin Yi," Little Lin, do you think the corpse they mentioned has anything to do with the one we saw in the basement that day?”
"If what he said is true, then it's very likely! It seems that we need to go to the construction site they mentioned. Perhaps we can find some clues and make our next plan!”Lin Yi supported himself with his arm and placed his finger on his mouth as he pondered for a while. He then decided to follow Ling Seven to the place that the group of women had mentioned earlier.
"Yes, it's very necessary. Let's go and look for it first!" The two of them gestured to each other and walked towards the main street. However, they realized that other than the road where the market was, the rest of the roads in the village were abnormally short. The streets were much narrower than usual, and the two of them did not know why.
However, when he reached the street, he asked the hawker and confirmed the direction of the construction site. Then, he hurried over.
The construction site was in the northeast corner of the village. There were some old buildings, broken earth walls, and dilapidated roads nearby. The further they went, the fewer people there were. Finally, there was only a lonely construction site the size of a football field. The two of them could see the periphery of the construction site from afar. It was simply blocked by some green nets. There were only some wooden boards at the door. The inside was a mess. Although there were some well-behaved roads, they were also covered with construction materials.
However, it was already noon. Under the scorching sun, not a single person could be seen on the construction site. Instead, there was a commotion coming from the shed. Lin Yi pulled Ling Seven to the door and heard the sound behind the wooden board. Looking at the situation from afar, he said to Ling Seven," It seems like this is the place. It's similar to what we asked. But where's the coffin? Don't tell me it has already been transferred away?"
Hearing this, Ling Qi also stuck his head out to take a closer look. After sweeping his gaze around, his gaze stopped at the new shed built beside the foundation. She patted Lin Yi's shoulder and signaled to him. Lin Yi's gaze froze, then his eyes widened as he said to Ling Seven with a trembling voice," It's true, there really is!" One, two…"
Ling Qi saw that Lin Yi was shocked by the scene, but he didn't say anything. However, a dozen coffins were placed on the empty ground at once. This ordinary person would not be able to accept it. Some paint had fallen off the pitch-black coffin, revealing the color of the wood inside. There were also traces of yellow soil on the complete paint. It looked like it had been cleaned up. But...
Ling Qi looked through the cracks in the wooden planks at the coffins not far away. There were even a few dark green talismans pasted on the front of the coffins. Ling Qi frowned, thinking that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
"Twelve!" Lin Yi exclaimed.
"Why are there so many coffins? What should we do, Ling Seven?" Lin Yi took a deep breath, adjusted his clothes, and turned to Ling Seven.
"Attack? What do you mean by go! You only know how to go up. Are you going to walk in and say,"Hello, I'm interested in your coffin. Can I come and observe?"”Ling Seven looked at Lin Yi with disdain. He had always been so reckless and didn't even consider it.
Ling Qi rolled his eyes at Lin Yi, then he crossed his arms and sat at a relatively clean place nearby. However, Lin Yi's interest was not dispelled by Ling Qi. He half-squatted beside Ling Qi and said," Then, what do you think we should do? Why don't we sneak in while he's taking his afternoon nap?”
Hearing Lin Yi's words, Ling Seven felt that it was feasible. It was obvious that going directly would not work. He could only secretly see if it was similar to what he had thought. Otherwise, with his current identity, it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Lin Yi saw Ling Qi nod his head and sat quietly at the side, occasionally turning back to listen to the noise in the work shed.
During this time, the two of them also observed the surrounding environment clearly. It seemed that the scale of the village was bigger than they had thought at first. The construction site was still surrounded by the village, but it seemed that no one lived there. There were only chickens, ducks, cats, and dogs wandering around the dilapidated houses.
Fortunately, the place where the two of them were standing was a shady place and not under the sun. Otherwise, Ling Qi would not be looking at Lin Yi with a good expression. Lin Yi saw that Ling Seven's short hair was tied into a ponytail. She was drawing some strange runes with a tree branch. Lin Yi smiled lightly and said," Why are there still these? I've seen you drawing these in college.”
Ling Seven's interest was piqued by Lin Yi's question. He turned to Lin Yi and pursed his lips." You said that I drew these when I was in university. Then let me ask you, is there any difference between the paintings I draw now and before?"”
"The difference? It seemed to be smoother! I think it's much better than before.”
"Well, you can say that! Do you know why I draw these when I have nothing to do?”Ling Qi asked.
"Because! For people like us, drawing talismans is also about talent. " For someone like me, it would take five years to draw a talisman. As for my sister…" Ling Seven explained when he saw Lin Yi shake his head. He listened carefully before continuing.
"Ling Jiu is considered one of the more talented people in our generation. Take me for example! I need five years to learn how to draw this Corpse Suppressing Talisman, but she only needs three months.”
"Ling Jiu? I didn't expect her to be so smart!" Lin Yi didn't expect that Ling Jiu, who looked so harmless, would turn out to be such a powerful person.
"What? This had nothing to do with intelligence, but talent.”Seeing that Lin Yi thought that it had something to do with Congming, Ling Qi hurriedly explained. However, Lin Yi took another look at the seal on the ground and hurriedly looked at the pergola at the construction site. He narrowed his eyes and saw the seal in front of the coffin. He then looked back at the seal on the ground and quickly grabbed Ling Seven's arm as he asked in horror," You said, you said, this is a Corpse Suppressing Talisman? So it's the same as the ones inside?”Lin Yi pointed behind him.
" Mm." Ling Seven nodded his head calmly, his hand supporting his chin.
"Aiya, don't worry! Look at those talismans. They were obviously pasted by the people at the construction site. You actually think that this is the same as that? I really have to beat you up a few times. It's obvious that those are fake!”Seeing Lin Yi's flustered look, Ling Qi couldn't help but burst out laughing. However, he still explained it to Lin Yi in case he was afraid.
"Hu! That's good. Otherwise, he would have to consider if he wanted to go! Oh right, did you just say Ling Jiu? I've never heard you mention your sister!”Ling Qi saw that Lin Yi had regained his composure and asked him about Ling Qi. Ling Qi sighed and said,"
"Sigh, this comparison is really forcing me to death! Ever since she came into contact with her family, I finally understood what it means to be the chosen one!”
