After all, he did not know how much danger was inside the coffin, so he should consider it carefully.
However, Liu Qing had great abilities, so it was understandable for him to be slightly more daring.
Lingling and I covered our noses as Lingling shouted.
”Big brother Liu Qing, you have to be careful!”
Liu Qing's head probed inside the coffin for a long time before it came out. Then, it quickly jumped and took the opportunity to cover the coffin with the lid.
The movement was completed in one go, so the coffin lid must be heavy as well. From this, it could be seen that Liu Qing's skill was indeed not bad.
At this time, I was still holding my breath, while Liu Qing quickly jumped down and walked to the entrance of the small temple, and gasped for air towards the big mouth of the thorny bush outside:
”It smells so bad, hold onto the grass …”
”What's inside?”
I asked as the lid of the coffin was closed and the smell around us slowly dissipated.
”The things on top of it are indeed the coffins of the dead, but I feel that the things inside are very strange …”
Liu Qing frowned and said.
He then paused, as if organizing his thoughts. His chest heaved up and down, obviously having held his breath for too long.
”It's not a corpse, it's really strange. I've never seen anything like it!”
Liu Qing slowly said after a long while.
Not a corpse? The moment I smelled it, I felt that it wasn't a human corpse, because I didn't know that a human body would emit such a stinky smell.
However, I didn't expect it to be a corpse.
As Liu Qing continued to speak:
”This thing is a coffin, right? It's a standard coffin. Although this is my first time seeing a real coffin, I've heard about it before.”
There are some Rune carved inside that I don't quite understand, but I do have a general idea of the order of the Rune.
What I saw inside it just now was actually a wooden figure …
Regardless of height, they were all similar to real people.
The stench was coming from the body of the wooden puppet.
Furthermore, the body of the wooden figure was very blurry. Whether it was its face or limbs, they were all …
All of them seem to have rotted away. ”
It was hard to describe that appearance, so it could only be described as rotten.
In addition, the smell was also coming from the body of the wood person. It was not impossible to say that the wood person was rotten.
However … After all, it was just a wooden puppet. How could it emit such a scent?
Speaking of the wood people, I remembered what I saw in Aunt Zhang's house. Those wood people seemed to be used to suppress the entire Evil Theurgy.
But this wood person was actually placed inside a corpse coffin, could there be some sort of relationship between the two?
I closed my eyes and tried to connect the two, but there was nothing I could do.
However, I had thought of four words. It was a method from the Compendium of Evil Theurgy, named —
The Yin Coffin Suppressing Spirit.
The so-called god here was not the meaning of a god, but rather a person's soul and spirit.
Suppressing a person's soul naturally meant using Yin Qi. After a long time, the person's soul would slowly dissipate from the body.
There has always been a dispute between the Profound Arts regarding the spirit and the soul, including in the Compendium of Evil Theurgy.
Some believe that the mind is the soul, while others believe that the soul is the soul and the god is the god. The two cannot be confused.
In any case, there were too many unknown areas in the field of metaphysics.
There are some things handed down by the ancients that people can now give several explanations for.
And if the so-called God really existed, then the Yin Coffin God was suppressing a human's ”God”.
It could be said that this method of killing was an invisible method of slowly killing people.
Using a relatively small coffin to place in the body of a baby, the strength of the baby would be the greatest if it had just been born.
This was because this was a kind of invisible killing technique. These things were all for the sake of being able to hide oneself, and wouldn't take up too much space.
And the infant that died right after being born was indeed a lot stronger than the resentment it had after being born a few months ago.
He placed the baby's corpse in the coffin. Because of the Miasma, and also because of the technique, the baby's corpse would not exude a very strong scent.
At least the victim wouldn't feel it.
He then placed the coffin in a place where the victim often stayed, such as the top of the desk, or the head of the bed. In short, as long as he could face the victim, the coffin did not have to be on the victim's head.
Of course, if he could do that, the power would be even greater.
Killing was invisible and intangible. From the inside out, one would feel weak at the start. Slowly, one might fall asleep one day and lose the ability to wake up …
At this moment, the scene in front of me seems to be extremely similar to the Yin Coffin God. It's just that there isn't a corpse in the Yin Coffin.
Perhaps, this wood golem was something even stranger than a corpse? Otherwise, why would it rot? Also, why would he spend so much effort to put it into the coffin?
