Niu Bao's eyes were slightly red when he said this: "When I woke up, my father had already left. The village said that he held a soul-inducing flag and led eight clay figures up the mountain. Once he left, he would never be seen again.

Didn’t come back.”

"Wei Daqiang erected a tomb for my grandfather. He cried and shouted that he had accepted my grandfather's life-saving grace. From now on, I will be his family's great benefactor. Even if the whole family goes without food, he still has to take care of me."

"People in the village say: I am lucky. I will have no worries about food and clothing in the future."

"But I was very confused! I was only ten years old at that time. Before, when I lived with my father and my grandfather, I didn't have to think about anything or worry about anything."

"But, they all left at once, leaving me alone. I don't even know how they left."

"I don't even know who will come to me and drag me into the mountains like taking my father away."

"At that time, I was only scared and cried all day long. I stayed at home and didn't dare to go anywhere."

"Wei Daqiang came to pick me up and take me to his house. I refused to leave the old house no matter what. People in the village said that I was crazy. Wei Daqiang thought the same. He usually gave me some food and drink, so he stopped coming.

"

"I'm not crazy. I won't leave because I think my father will come back."

"On the seventh day when my grandfather went up the mountain, he really came back. He was standing in the shadow outside the door. No matter how I called him, he wouldn't come in."

"After he gave me the soul-transfer method to replace his death, he told me to practice according to what I memorized that day so that I could save my life in the future. Then, he never came back."

"After that, I stopped going to school. I ate, drank, and had sex in this room. I have been practicing until today. That's all I know."

After Niu Bao finished speaking, he poured wine into his mouth again.

I asked in reply: "To transfer a soul to replace your death, you must use a recently deceased person to replace you. Where did the corpse next to you come from?"

"My father brought it back!" Niu Bao said: "In the past few years, Wei Daqiang has always sent me pig blood and asked me to use pig blood to raise corpses."

Ye Yang suddenly said: "Didn't you say that Wei Daqiang is raising you? Why are you still so depressed?"

Niu Bao laughed and said: "There is always a time when people's hearts become weak. Wei Daqiang has come to see me less and less over the years, and the things he gives me are never as good as once. That's how it is!"

I pointed to the coffins outside: "Are those eight coffins outside always empty?"

Niu Baodao: "Those coffins were left by my father to the eight people on the mountain. He said that in the future, those eight people will have to be placed in coffins."

I gave Ye Yang a wink, and the latter went out and looked near the coffin for a while, then shook his head, meaning that he didn't see anything wrong with the coffin.

I asked again: "Where is Wei Daqiang?"

"I don't know!" Niu Bao said: "After what happened at the mine, Wei Daqiang no longer lives in the village. Who knows where he is?"

I took out my phone and dialed Zhao Ci: "Check for me about a man named Wei Daqiang who once lived in the same village as Niu Bao. If you have any news, tell me immediately."

Niu Bao stared at the phone in my hand for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Brother, what is that thing in your hand?"

"Phone!" I threw the phone to Niu Bao and walked into the yard: "Gouzi, tell me, why does that old Niutou insist on asking the coffin doorman?"

Ye Yang rolled his eyes at me: "If I guess correctly, the Niu family should be the descendants of the money lineage of the Coffin Sect."

I couldn't help but wonder: "The coffin door has many branches?"

"As far as I know, there should be eight branches plus the yin and yang meridian, collectively called the eight branches of the ghost coffin." Ye Yang explained: "Except for the yin and yang meridian, the secrets of the other seven meridians are inseparable from the coffin."

"These eight coffins should be the magical artifacts left by Old Niu Tou. Unfortunately, none of us know how to use coffins."

"These eight coffins are a bit useless!" I frowned and said, "Even if we know how to use them, how can we drag eight coffins up the mountain?"

While I was talking to Ye Yang, Niu Bao came out of the house and reluctantly returned the phone to me: "Brother, let's go up the mountain?"

I waved my hand and said: "My name is Li Po, and I can only be regarded as a disciple of the Coffin Sect branch. You can call me by my name. I don't need to call you senior brother!"

"Okay!" Niu Bao nodded and agreed: "Brother Li, if we want to leave, we have to go up the mountain at night. It will be difficult to leave at dawn."

Before I could figure out what Niu Bao meant, I saw the other party take out a flute and blow it a few times. The snow under the coffin shook violently with the sound of the flute.

After a while, I saw a human hand sticking out of the snow.

Royal corpse?

My first reaction was that Niu Bao was guarding the corpse.

Sure enough, in just a few seconds, eight corpses emerged from Niu Bao's yard.

The eight corpses were not only old and young, but each one was wearing different shrouds. Some were wearing polite clothes, while others were wearing mandarin jackets. Judging from the clothes alone, these eight corpses should belong to dead people of different eras.
