Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 754 - 214: The Girl in the Coffin! The Grand Flame Holy Fire Guard! (9600 words~)_3
"Layperson, do not be afraid; it is not any sort of malevolent spirit, it is generally harmless," Xing Fengzi explained quite kindly.
However, the word "generally" clearly did little to reassure anyone.
At this moment, the Destiny Coffin was indeed shaking continuously.
And the air within the residence seemed to have become a bit chillier.
One could see a faint white mist visibly emanating from the Destiny Coffin.
That was obviously not any common mist.
It was the escaping Yin Energy!
Xing Fengzi took out two talismans, stuck one on the maid who had collapsed on the ground, and handed the other to the beautiful woman of the residence.
After all, both were ordinary people; if they were affected by the Yin Energy from the Destiny Coffin, even just falling seriously ill would be considered minor.
"Daoist Priest Fan!" At that moment, Yun Jiuqing seemed to have noticed something crucial, and urgently said, "The lid of the Destiny Coffin just moved!"
Everyone’s attention was drawn to the lid of the Destiny Coffin, and indeed, they saw that it was moving.
As if a pair of hands were pulling on it.
People watched with wide eyes as the lid of the Destiny Coffin slid to one side at a slow pace, and immediately a large surge of Yin Energy burst forth from within the coffin, shrouding the whole residence in a dense fog of Yin Energy and even beginning to spread outside.
The beautiful woman couldn’t help but shiver; her husband was a Cultivator, but that didn’t mean she was one too.
Although she had seen some of a Cultivator’s techniques and had encountered some wandering souls and ghosts.
She had never seen a scene like this before.
This made her feel somewhat apprehensive.
What exactly had this friend of her husband’s relative brought over? Could there be a living creature inside this casket? It surely couldn’t be that the thing inside was not a living creature, could it?
Hiss!
That would be even more horrifying!
Inside the residence, drafts of cold Yin winds had begun to blow, and the lid of the Destiny Coffin had been pulled open by half, as if something was about to crawl out from within it.
What came into everyone’s view was a head of white hair, which wasn’t the color of age-induced white, but a born white, pure as the winter snow.
Then a small head poked out from the coffin, appearing in everyone’s sight.
Seeing this, Yun Jiuqing’s eyes widened in disbelief, "There’s actually a person lying in the Destiny Coffin?"
No! That’s not right!
Or rather!
Could the person lying in the Destiny Coffin be the one granting it such magical powers?
Although... for now, they could only see the side of that face, Yun Jiuqing still felt that it was an extremely beautiful girl. Because, that’s a woman’s intuition!
Of course, she might not necessarily be a girl. After all, who knew how long she had lain in the Destiny Coffin?
Possibly a few years? Or a decade, or even a hundred or several hundred years?
The white-haired girl inside the Destiny Coffin seemed to want to stand up.
As she moved gently, her slender jade neck came into everyone’s view, followed by her delicate and fair collarbone.
Yun Jiuqing quickly approached the Destiny Coffin as if teleporting.
Then she held down the white-haired girl to prevent her from standing up from within the coffin and hurriedly said, "Don’t come out yet!"
Having said that, she took off one of her outer garments and draped it over the other, covering some parts of the body that should not be exposed.
After taking care of all this, Yun Jiuqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she turned her attention to the white-haired girl’s face.
At that moment, even she was taken aback by her stunning beauty.
But why does it feel like this girl has a rather dumb look in her eyes? As if she’s not very bright.
Yun Jiuqing was somewhat puzzled.
"You... Hello?" Yun Jiuqing showed a smile she thought was fairly gentle and curiously asked the girl who was half-sitting in the Destiny Coffin, "Are... are you the Destiny Coffin?!"
The girl slowly tilted her head to look at Yun Jiuqing, then looked down, as if searching for something in the coffin.
Then, they saw her pull out an ancient-looking brush from within the coffin.
Next, she plucked a strand of her white hair from her head.
Yun Jiuqing watched as the long white hair turned into a piece of sheepskin paper! And the tip of the ancient brush started to show specks of blood-red!
The white-haired girl quickly wrote on the sheepskin scroll—Yes and no. The Destiny Coffin is the name people of the Great Zhou Dynasty call me.
Yun Jiuqing was dumbfounded!
Yun Jiuqing weakly asked, "Then... what is your real name?"
The white-haired girl was taken aback.
She tilted her head.
Thinking hard.
Then she shook her head.
And continued to write on the sheepskin paper—I can’t remember; this is one of the few things I don’t know.
Yun Jiuqing asked in surprise, "Are you... unable to speak?"
The white-haired girl nodded. She found it too cumbersome to continue writing characters for questions that could be answered with a nod or a shake of her head.
"How long have you been lying in this coffin?"
The white-haired girl gestured with her hand.
"Thirty years?" Yun Jiuqing was quite astonished.
The white-haired girl shook her head.
"Three hundred?"
She still shook her head.
"Three thousand!"
She nodded her head.
At this scenario, which took everyone by surprise, Liu Feng and Xing Fengzi looked at each other. It was evident that only now were they finally starting to come to their senses.
