Although they said that they wanted to find a quiet place to open the coffin and check it again, it wasn't just because they were angry.
Because they had messed up their plan.
After the news of Wang Ren's accident spread out, the Shi brothers were ordered to go to the Wang family's house to find out the truth. Although the Wang family's decline was an indisputable fact, it did not mean that the Shi brothers could casually step on the Wang family's face. After all, they were just the rising stars of the Shi family, not the leaders of the Shi family, so they had no right to decide the friends and enemies of the Shi family.
So this plan was a failure.
When they came to the Wang family's house, their original plan was to use their power to pressure Wang Zixing. It would be best if they could force Wang Zixing to obey them. After all, an armed conflict meant that the situation would be expanded infinitely. Once there was blood, no one could predict the development of the situation … This was not a child's play.
However, due to all kinds of coincidences and strange accidents that happened along the way, the situation came to this point. The two of them fought fiercely with Wang Zixing and stole Wang Ren's coffin. Although it was very exciting and domineering, it also meant that the Shi family and the Wang family were on bad terms with each other.
In this case, how could they dare to directly take Wang Ren's coffin back?
Could it be that after going back, when he saw his father, he would chuckle and say something like "Father, we smashed the Wang family's house, stole the coffin, and ran away so energetically that Wang Zixing, that old bastard, was so angry that he almost vomited blood"?
Obviously, if they really did that, even though the two brothers were in the limelight and were highly regarded by the Shi family, they would still be whipped and incur the wrath of their father.
So at this point, they could only put all their eggs in one basket.
They couldn't just take Wang Ren's coffin back like this.
They needed to open the coffin first and carefully check the body. They must find some valuable information and then bring these two things back to their father.
Yes, not only did they need to bring back Wang Ren's body, but they also needed to bring back the information that their father wanted to know … The latter was the most important thing. Only in this way could they make up for their mistakes.
On this point, Shi Wengong and Shi Stallone had reached a consensus. Although there was a lot of hostility between them, at least in this matter, they were tied to the same boat.
After cursing at each other for a while, the two of them tacitly changed directions. They couldn't go home directly now. They had to carefully examine the body and the coffin, and then come up with a perfect excuse.
The caravan was galloping on the street, and there were four horses carrying a coffin. This was a very eye-catching matter. Stallone called a knight and whispered a few words into his ear. The knight understood and accepted the order. He urged the horse's belly and sped up, rushing forward.
Not long after, the knight rushed out of the next intersection with a large carriage. Stallone whistled and pulled up the coffin with Shi Wengong, placed it on the carriage, and covered it with straw.
The carriage then headed towards the south of Jin Ling City.
After passing through the streets, twisting and turning, they traveled for about ten miles before stopping in front of a house. Shi Stallone pushed aside the straw and ordered the servants of the house to retreat. He said to Shi Wengong indifferently, "I bought a house here."
Shi Wengong nodded noncommittally. As the saying goes, a crafty rabbit has three burrows, and he had one too.
Shi family's eagle looked around and said, "Guard this place well. Don't ask any intruders, just kill them!"
The knights around him nodded loudly.
The two brothers looked at each other and snorted coldly. They crossed the gate together, passed through the front yard, and came to the main hall. Shi Stallone carefully placed the coffin on the ground.
There were only a few servants in the house who were doing the daily cleaning. They had already received the order to stay far away from this place. The knights of Shi family were guarding the place. In the main hall, next to the coffin, there were only two of them.
Shi Wengong squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Ren's coffin. To be honest, his heart was beating like a drum. Because what happened before was indeed difficult to explain with common sense. However, if he used the ghost theory to explain it, it would be very satisfactory.
Seeing this, Shi Stallone sneered, "do you really think that there are ghosts behind this?"
Shi Wengong pondered and said, "There are all kinds of strange things in the boundless universe. There are Great Grandmasters who can move mountains and seas, and there are also mysterious and unpredictable Western Continent Dissimilated People who are different from Martial Artists, and there are also Extraterritorial Demons who plague the world and bring chaos to the world. Why are there no ghosts?"
Stallone said coldly, "There are Xiyi people, Extraterritorial Demons, and even demons and monsters. That's because many people have really seen them. How many people in this world have seen ghosts and ghosts?"
Shi family's eagle shook his head and said, "Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean that there aren't any."
"No means no!"
Shi Stallone looked at the coffin in front of him and said disdainfully, "if a useless person like Wang Ren could turn into a ghost after death, then the world would have been in chaos!"
He said coldly, "Let's not talk about other things. That guy from the Rongguo Mansion was once a hero, and he died so unjustly. That kind of peerless figure died so unjustly. If a person could turn into a malicious spirit after death, then he would definitely become a ghost hero who shook the world. But now?
For two years, the Empire is peaceful, and the Rongguo Mansion is declining day by day. If he turned into a ghost, how can he watch his family being bullied? "
Shi Wengong's eyes changed.
Shi Stallone coldly made a conclusion.
"In this world, there are no ghosts at all."
He put his hand on the edge of the coffin and looked at his brother. His tone was calm and firm, "there are only people who pretend to be ghosts."
Then he lifted it hard.
He lifted it.
He lifted it.
He lifted it.
He lifted it.
It didn't move.
"…"
Time seemed to be frozen. On both sides of the coffin, the two brothers looked at each other.
Shi Wengong took two steps back as if nothing had happened. He raised his hand and encouraged, "… Again."
Shi Stallone didn't care about the sarcasm in his brother's tone. His face slowly became dignified. Shi Wengong saw that his brother opposite him was silently raising his arm and spreading his five fingers. Then, he retracted his five fingers one by one and clenched his fist. Strength flowed in his arm, and his muscles bulged.
Then, his momentum was like a galloping horse, and his voice was like thunder.
Shi Stallone didn't say a word. In an instant, he blasted out a violent heavy punch. The wind whistled as he suddenly attacked the coffin in front of him. He was a decisive person. After discovering that something was wrong, he didn't hesitate and immediately attacked.
This heavy punch broke through the shackles of the air, and with a fierce airflow, the fierce fist aura could even smash a boulder into pieces. Even if this coffin was said to be incomparably solid and difficult to be damaged by swords, it still had a limit. Shi Stallone was confident that this punch was enough to break the coffin.
Then, no matter what the hell was in the coffin, he would use his speed and power to break through the sky and shatter it into pieces.
Bang.
He hit the coffin.
The fierce and violent heavy punch landed on the side of the coffin.
Then, nothing happened.
The coffin didn't break, the coffin didn't shake, and even the side of the coffin received this powerful blow. The coffin didn't even move an inch to the side.
It was as if all the power of the attack was swallowed up by an invisible black hole.
Nothing happened.
Shi Stallone's hair stood on end. He and Shi Wengong looked at each other and retreated at the same time.
Run!
A martial artist must have the ability to judge the situation. The scene in front of them was too strange. Whether there really was a demon or a ghost, or someone pretending to be a ghost, this kind of phenomenon was beyond their scope of ability.
But, they couldn't run.
Out of nowhere, a fierce wind blew, and in an instant, the door was blown closed, and the windows were also closed. The light in the main hall suddenly dimmed, and the gloomy air spread in all directions. In front of the Shi brothers' horrified eyes, the coffin on the floor of the main hall stood up on its own, and the coffin lid that they couldn't lift no matter what slowly slid open.
— — -Just like Orochimaru's Edo Tensei.
Shi Wengong felt his voice tremble. "… … Who is it?"
Shi Stallone was even more shocked. He was a simple idealist, and only believed in his own fist. He said in a deep voice. "I don't know senior's name?
This junior is Shi Stallone, please forgive me! "
The "thing" in the coffin didn't answer any of the questions.
A voice that made the two men's scalps go numb rang out. It was a drawling voice.
"I died so miserably ah ah ah ah ah ah …"
The voice was too terrifying, and it contained a strange power. The voice persevered through the two's eardrums and drilled into their brains. The voice seemed to rise from the bottom of their hearts, evoking the most primitive fear of humans … That was the fear of the unknown.
Shi Stallone's scalp tingled, but the courage of a martial artist still supported his body. This Shi family's Flying Bear was worthy of being called the most outstanding young man in Jinling. Even in this situation, he didn't lose his will to fight. He roared and threw a punch at the coffin. "Noisy!"
— — -Unfortunately, he was facing the first of the top ten young men in Jinling. Moreover, he was the kind of person who had won many national and even international competitions.
Facing Shi Stallone's fist, a gust of cold wind gushed out. It was bone-chilling, as if there was an incomparably cold world inside the coffin. It made the two feel as if they were in winter.
In the dim light, a black shadow seemed to rush out. The shadow was very strange. It floated in the air and swallowed the light, causing the surroundings to become darker and colder. The figure was like a ghost, and it let out an incomparably twisted and evil scream.
Shi Stallone and Shi Wengong were shocked. They threw punches and kicks at the enemy beside them.
But the shadow seemed to be too fast, or it could be said that it didn't have a physical body. It wandered in all directions. The screams were sometimes in their ears, sometimes in front of them. Their punches and kicks all fell into the air. Their powerful internal force also seemed to hit a shadow. There was no feeling of hitting anything, but their hands and feet became cold and numb, and their internal force kept flowing out.
An enemy that they couldn't hit, they couldn't even see the appearance of the enemy, and they didn't even know what the enemy was.
Even a warrior with a heart as strong as iron would panic when faced with such a situation.
Just like in modern society with advanced technology, horror movies with ghost themes were still popular because they evoked the most instinctive fear and helplessness of human beings. Science couldn't explain the principles of ghosts, modern weapons couldn't kill ghosts, and the power that humans were most proud of lost its use and couldn't protect themselves.
That was why they felt fear.
The situation that Shi Stallone and the others were facing was the same.
They found that the martial arts that they had diligently trained since they were young and relied on to run rampant in the world was useless.
Because the enemy … seemed to be a ghost.
Martial arts seemed to be unable to hurt this evil and crazy spirit.
Shi Wengong already had similar guesses and thoughts in his heart before. Now, this horrible situation tore a big hole in his heart. He roared, "Who are you?!
What are you! "
The voice was sharp and sinister. "Who am I?
Who am I?
I don't know!
Who am I, answer me, who am I!
Who am I? "
The ghost's resentful voice was filled with extreme hatred and murderous intent.
This hatred was so real that it seemed to set off a monstrous wave of blood, making Shi Wengong face this crazy mental attack head-on.
He fell to the ground and took a few steps back, but the cold feeling followed him like a shadow.
He became more and more frightened. When he looked up, he was shocked to find that the coffin was empty.
Wang Ren's body … was still in there …
In that instant, he felt the chill in his body increase by a dozen times.
Shi Family's eagle shouted in shock, "Wang Ren … you are really Wang Ren!"
Shi Stallone heard his brother's scream and turned his head to look. He also saw the empty coffin, and his heart was in turmoil. Where was Wang Ren's body!
"Wang Ren!
Wang Ren!
Wang Ren! "The voice was distorted and almost crazy." Am I called Wang Ren?
Is that my name?!
Then how did I die?!
How did I die?! "
His sharp questioning voice tore at their eardrums, causing them to feel a buzzing pain in their ears. Before Stallone could say anything, he suddenly felt a chilly wind blowing on his body, and a cold murderous aura hit him in the face.
"What …"
The Flying Bear let out a short cry of surprise.
Then, his huge body fell to the ground.
He didn't even have time to react before he was defeated. He had never lost so inexplicably in his life. He didn't see the enemy, didn't touch the enemy, didn't fight with the enemy, and then he lost. He didn't even realize what had happened, and he was lying on the ground.
With this defeat, his heart was half cold.
As the rising star of the Shi family, as the Shi family's hero who had been looked forward to since he was a child, he was confident and conceited. He believed that with his martial arts, he would be one of the best even among his peers in the Empire. Even if he were to face a Great Grandmaster who had been famous for a long time, he would not be defeated in one move.
Let alone such an inexplicable defeat.
Only a ghost … only a ghost could do this.
After experiencing such a defeat, his confidence and paranoia made him dig a dead end. His heart was filled with fear and confusion. What was going on?
There really was a ghost?
Shi Wengong was also lying on the ground without any resistance.
The two brothers were lying on the ground with their butts facing up, unable to move. For men, this position was very unsettling, because every man knew that they should never show their back to the enemy.
Because you never know what would stab you from behind, and where it would stab you.
Not to mention that there was a very powerful ghost behind them.
The two brothers' defenses began to collapse as they lay on the ground, unable to move. Their hearts instinctively began to panic. Even if they were the Shi Family's most talented young men, they were still young men. Young men were always young men with poor manners. They didn't know much about postures, and they couldn't talk normally with people they didn't see.
The Shi Brothers felt a cold wind blowing behind them, and their backs were cold. They felt that there was a terrifying beast pressing them to the ground, and it could bite them at any time. The feeling of their lives being in the hands of others was very bad, and it made them nervous and afraid.
They were indeed afraid … because things had reached this point, and they still didn't know what had happened, and who had restrained them.
The "ghost of Wang Ren" screamed behind them, "Speak!
Who killed me!
Who killed me! "
Accompanied by his question, a dense chill pierced the skin on the back of their necks like steel needles. Shi Wengong shivered a few times in succession and shouted, "It was Wang Xifeng, it was Wang Xifeng who killed you!"
Hearing this, the ghost screamed, "Wang Xifeng!
Who is Wang Xifeng?
Where is she? "
Shi Wengong was startled. Could it be that Wang Ren's ghost couldn't remember?
Yes, he couldn't even remember his own name. Could it be that after becoming a ghost, one would forget a lot of things?
Then he had an idea.
He couldn't remember … Did this mean that he could coax and make use of this ghost?
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a splitting headache. A gush of Senran cold air rushed into his body, as sharp as a knife, stirring his body and even his soul, "Are you trying to trick me?
Are you trying to trick me? "
Shi Wengong screamed in pain, "No!
No! "
"Then why don't you answer me immediately?
Answer my question immediately!
If you don't answer, I'll kill you, eat you, and kill your whole family! "The ghost threatened," Who is Wang Xifeng? "
Shi Wengong learned his lesson this time. He didn't want to make use of the ghost, he had to deal with this first. He immediately shouted, "Wang Xifeng is your sister!"
As soon as he said this, more intense pain and torture came. The ghost roared, "You lied to me!
How could my sister kill her brother!
Did I write a diary! "
Diary?
What was that?
Just as this question arose in Shi Wengong's mind, his thoughts were interrupted by the pain. He screamed, "I didn't lie to you!
It was Wang Xifeng who killed him! "
"Nonsense!
Nonsense! "
The ghost seemed to be unable to accept the truth that he was killed by his sister. He became more and more agitated, "Evidence!
Where's the evidence!
Did you see it!
Who told you that!? "
Shi Wengong quickly defended himself, "That's what everyone on the streets and alleys are saying!
It's all over Jinling!
You can ask anyone on the street and you'll know! "
— — F * ck, didn't they know the inside story of Wang Renzhi's death?
Was it also just hearsay?
No, they weren't the boss of the Shi family, they were just capable fighters of the younger generation …
The ghost thought for a moment and roared again, "F * ck you!
How can I ask anyone on the street in this state!
You're f * cking making things difficult for me! "
… … That's none of my business!
What can I do!
Shi Wengong's body was in excruciating pain, and he groaned inwardly. His life was now in the hands of the enemy, and this ghost had restrained him and tortured him greatly. This process was constantly destroying his psychological defenses, so he became even more cooperative. "Then what can I do?"
The ghost roared, "Show me the evidence!
Or tell me where Wang Xifeng is! "
Shi Wengong had an idea.
If I tell him that Wang Xifeng is hiding in the Rongguo Mansion, then this extremely powerful ghost will run to the Jia Mansion and cause a ruckus. Maybe his murderous nature will be aroused and the whole mansion will be wiped out. Without that old woman's interference, the family's invasion of the Jia Mansion will be much smoother …
But what's in it for me?
If he can't find Wang Xifeng, he'll go crazy again. Maybe he'll think that I'm lying to him and cause a ruckus. What if he accidentally kills me?
So I can't lie to him now, I can't lie to him …
A wise man submits to circumstances. With a strong enemy behind him, he had no choice but to be a coward. Shi Wengong's mind turned quickly and he said decisively, "I'm willing to serve you!
I'll help you find Wang Xifeng's whereabouts! "
I can only take one step at a time … He thought to himself.
In short, the most important thing now was to pacify this irritable ghost.
However, the situation was not so. Although the ghost was muddle-headed, it was limited to its own memory. It seemed to be quite smart about other things.
"Wait!" The ghost shouted, "Tell me first, why did you take me away?"
Shi Wengong hesitated for a moment.
Then, he decisively turned his head to look at Stallone, who had been silent the whole time.
The eagle of the Shi family was also very decisive. "He's my brother. He brought me here. Ask him!"
Stallone's eyes widened and he was furious. He used his eyes to express his shock and anger. You f * cking betrayed me?
Shi Wengong looked back at him without hesitation. Things have come to this point. How can I let you stay out of this alone?
Help me take it!
Before Stallone could say anything, the sharp coldness of the Senran pressed down on his back. "Speak!"
Fei Xiong's filial piety only lasted for a second. "My father asked us to do it!"
The ghost asked, "Why did your father do this?"
Stallone seemed to be a hoodlum. "I really don't know. My father usually means what he says in the family. When he sends us to do things, he doesn't need to tell us the purpose or reason."
The ghost understood and said, "I know!
In other words, the two of you are useless! "
Shi Wengong was shocked when he heard this. He shouted, "He's useless!
I'm still useful!
I can help you find Wang Xifeng's whereabouts! "
The ghost did not care. "I'll ask your father to do it. It's the same!"
"…"
Shi Wengong glared at his brother. Damn it, he tricked his father and his brother!
He hurriedly tried to mend the situation, but he could not think of any bargaining chip that could move the ghost. Suddenly, a sharp light flashed through his mind. He seemed to have remembered something.
So he shouted, "Wait!
Wait!
I just remembered something! "
"What?"
"My father!
The reason why my father sent us to the Wang family! "
Yes!
Since he had forgotten most of the things that happened in his life, he might have forgotten that thing too!
Shi Wengong shouted, "That thing!
My father wants us to find the whereabouts of that thing! "
Ah.
Sun Lang thought.
Finally, I'm here.
