Chapter 531 Wang Yuanji

"Instead of relying on our own groundless speculation, we might as well go to Taowu and release the person in the coffin. If the person in the coffin is indeed not an evil spirit but a disciple of the Daoist Sect, then we can definitely get the real information from him."

Tian Lin's words moved everyone present, but no one agreed.

After a moment, Mei Xiangu said, "I am afraid of this and that. Are we just going to sit here and wait for death? The speed of time in this village, if we don't take action, I'm afraid it will be dawn again."

The female disciple who followed Zhou Ting sneered: "It sounds nice, if you have the guts, go to the peach house and open the coffin, we will stay here to raid the battlefield."

Mei Xiangu flew into a rage and said, "I will go if I want to!"

After she finished speaking, she was about to push the door leading to the peach room.

Mei Xiangu likes to act on impulse, but Tian Lin is very calm.

He grabbed Mei Xiangu's wrist and said, "If we are going, let's all go together. There is no reason for one person to take risks while others can reap the benefits."

His words of "sitting back and reaping the fruits of others' labor" seemed to be a mockery of the Jurchen disciple.

The Jurchen disciple sneered and was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhou Ting.

"Don't be upset, Junior Sister Yuan. We are all in the same boat now. Moreover, we are from the same sect, so we should unite."

Then Zhou Ting looked at Tian Lin and said, "It doesn't take much effort to open the coffin, and the Tao House is too small. If everyone is crowded together, we won't be able to move freely when we escape. Why don't you and I go open the coffin, and the rest of us stay here to support?"

Tian Lin didn't expect him to say that, and nodded as if it was okay.

Although the door leading to Taowu was locked, the lock could not stop Tian Lin and others.

Zhou Ting raised his hand and pointed at the padlock. His innate energy turned into sword energy and was released. The padlock bounced off and fell to the ground with a bang.

At this moment, the coffin in the peach house was knocked.

In the silent night, the coffin was knocked from the inside, and the sound was creepy.

But Tian Lin and Zhou Ting ignored him and walked through the gate directly to the peach house.

Now that they were close to the coffins, they could already tell which one of the four coffins was making the sound.

Tian Lin walked up to the third coffin and said, "If you keep knocking, the old night watchman will come over and we won't be able to save you."

The coffin stopped making noises at this time. Tian Lin and Zhou Ting looked at each other, not knowing whether to be happy or worried.

It was obvious that the person in the coffin could not only hear them talking, but also understand them.

This proves that the guy in the coffin is either a human or an evil spirit that can understand human language and has intelligence.

"Tell me, where are you from and why are you here?"

Tian Lin opened his mouth again to test the waters, but this time the only response he got was the sound of gentle knocking on the coffin lid.

There are two possibilities for this kind of behavior. One is that the other party cannot speak in the coffin. The other possibility is that the other party is an evil spirit and opening his mouth might expose his identity.

"Can't you speak? Well, I'll ask you questions, and you can answer me with tapping sounds."

Tian Lin asked: "Do you know the Daoist sect? If you do, you can knock twice. If you don't, just knock once."

Two knocking sounds came from the coffin, and Tian Lin asked it again: "Are you a disciple of the Dao Sect, or an outsider who has mistakenly entered the secret realm? Two knocks for the former, and one for the latter."

There were two more knocks, and Tian Lin spoke again: "Since you know about the Daowen Sect, you should know that the master of Hulu Peak is Elder Tang, right? Similarly, if you know Elder Tang of Daowen Peak, knock twice, if you don't know, knock once."

There was no knocking sound in the coffin for a long time.

Obviously, Tian Lin's question was wrong, because the elder of Hulu Peak was not named Tang.

"I have one last question for you - do you know whether Elder Jianfeng is a man or a woman? If she is a man, please knock twice. If she is a woman, please knock once."

There was a knock on the coffin, and Tian Lin no longer had any doubts. He winked at Zhou Ting, signaling Zhou Ting to be more vigilant.

He stepped forward, pressed the lid of the coffin, and then opened it.

A burst of corpse gas gushed out from the coffin lid, and then a monster with a livid face and red eyes sat up from the coffin lid.

Zhou Ting moved as fast as lightning and pointed a finger at the monster's chest.

The monster groaned, but said, "Brother Zhou, spare my life. I am Wang Yuanji!"

The monster's voice was hoarse, but she called out Zhou Ting's name in one go, and combined with Tian Lin's previous attempts, it seemed to be enough to prove the monster's identity.

At this moment, footsteps were heard in the side room.

Tian Lin looked at Zhou Ting and said, "It should be the old man on night watch."

Zhou Ting frowned, but after hesitating, he still took out the monster from the coffin.

Firstly, Tian Lin's test just now proved that this monster was not an imposter. Secondly, this monster recognized him and even said Wang Yuanji's name, so it might not be a bad idea to take a risk and trust her once.

Most importantly, Zhou Ting had already discovered that this monster was only at the Jindan level. A monster at the Jindan level shouldn't be able to do anything weird.

He carried the monster and ran to the guest room, while Tian Lin closed the coffin lid again with a wave of his sleeve. The two of them went straight to the guest room, one in front and one behind, and locked the door.

Just as they were closing the door, the door of the peach room on the other side leading to the old night watchman's room also opened.

Everyone looked through the crack in the door and saw the old night watchman holding a lamp and striding into the room.

The old night watchman opened the coffins one by one, but he could not find Wang Yuanji anymore.

He immediately walked through Taowu and knocked on Tianlin's door.

At this time in the guest room, Zhou Ting was still holding the monster in his hand.

Judging from the clothes alone, the monster was indeed wearing the Taoist robes of an inner disciple of the Wendao Sect.

Moreover, this monster called herself Wang Yuanji, and Zhou Ting had indeed sensed her identity as a woman from the elasticity of her chest when he pointed his finger at her earlier.

It can be said that this monster is undoubtedly Wang Yuanji. She was simply poisoned by the corpse and now looks like a ghost.

"How to do?"

The knock on the door continued, and Mei Xiangu asked, "Do you want to open the door?"

When she heard the door open, Wang Yuanji trembled.

No emotion could be seen in her red eyes, but everyone could sense her fear.

Obviously, she was afraid that after she opened the door, everyone would hand her over to the old night watchman.

"Let's not open the door and see what he can do."

The Jurchen disciple at the side spoke, as if in response to him, and the door panel began to shake at this time.

Everyone's faces changed, Tian Lin said: "Let's open the door. If we don't open the door, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop him."

But after opening the door, not only would Wang Yuanji be captured by the old man, but even Tian Lin and Zhou Ting, who rescued people, would also be punished.

Tian Lin exchanged glances with Wang Yanyu, who understood and dragged Wang Yuanji to the window and stuffed her under the bed. At the same time, Mei Xiangu opened the door.

The old night watchman rushed into the house and said with a stern face: "My dear officials, have you seen a mummy? A mummy in my house suddenly disappeared."
