Chapter 6: Coffin Sealing

Feng Nian, on the other hand, felt extremely disgusted. It was only when she was pulled by the living dead palanquin bearer that she saw clearly that the hands of the bearer had already rotted. Pieces of rotten flesh hung from the skeleton, and a rotten smell filled the surroundings from time to time. Maggots fell from their bodies and squirmed on the ground.

“Sister, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. You’re finally here.” Feng Nian looked sideways at the source of the voice and saw a flash of red in front of her. It was Wen Rou.

Wen Rou was still wearing a bright red princess dress. The childish smile on her face had been replaced by her sinister smile. Her mouth was wide open, and her eyes were empty as she stared straight at Feng Nian.

She used the fragrance of the roses to make Feng Nian faint. She brought Feng Nian, who was in the Wen Residence, to this cemetery to borrow the Yin energy accumulated in the cemetery. She knew that Feng Nian was a master invited by her father, Wen Wen, to resolve the strange incident in the Wen Residence. The Yin energy in the cemetery was heavy, and now that Feng Nian could not move, she was confident that she could make Feng Nian a sacrifice quietly.

Feng Nian was still unable to move. When she saw Wen Rou, she knew that everything in the Wen Residence came from the Wen Rou. Now, she could only watch helplessly as the two living dead dragged her towards the coffin. She could feel that her back was already stuck with a thick layer of soil. The stench of the soil and the rotten smell of the bearers filled her nose. If it were an ordinary person, they would have vomited long ago.

At this moment, the rotten flesh hanging from the arm of one of the undead palanquin carriers suddenly fell to the ground with a soft sound. However, he did not care at all and pulled Feng Nian straight over. The rotten flesh was crushed and turned into a pile of meat paste. There were white maggots squirming inside, enjoying the sudden delicacy.

Feng Nian was dragged to the edge of the coffin. Soon, she was thrown into the coffin with a dull thud. Before she could make a sound, the pitch-black coffin lid slowly sealed the top of the coffin. The sound of the coffin being nailed could be heard outside. This was the sound of the coffin being sealed. The air in the coffin was depleting. She knew that with the sound of the coffin being sealed, she would be buried in the wilderness tonight.

The rain-like patters sounds gradually lessened. Soon, they stopped. The coffin had been sealed.

The pitch-black coffin was sealed by 18 huge coffin nails.

Wen Rou stood beside the pit and watched as the living dead sealed the coffin. Then, she let out a laugh. This laughter did not match her at all. Her ivory-white skin and flaxen-colored curly hair made her look like an exquisite doll. However, blood-red tears flowed out of her red eyes.

“Mom, wait for me. Rou Rou will wake you up soon.” More and more blood tears flowed out of Wen Rou’s eyes and actually dripped onto the pitch-black coffin. This did not affect the two living dead from filling the coffin with soil. They had forgotten that Feng Nian was lying in the coffin, quietly waiting for the last moment.

Even though there was no pressure on her neck, Feng Nian still felt that she was about to suffocate. The air in the coffin was almost exhausted. If this continued, this pitch-black coffin would really become her burial ground. She was unwilling to accept this. She usually hated insects the most. Now, there were still maggots that had fallen from the living dead in the coffin. They were slowly crawling all over her body. As long as she stopped breathing, these maggots would definitely crawl in through her nostrils and ears to suck her brain.

A few crows were circling at a low altitude, attracted by the smell of rotten meat on the living dead. One bold crow swooped down and quickly picked up a piece of rotten meat that the living dead had dropped on the ground. The other one followed suit. Unexpectedly, the living dead suddenly stretched out his arm and twisted the crow’s neck. The crow kept flapping. The living dead stuffed the crow into his mouth. After chewing a few times, the crow’s wings drooped and stopped flapping. The crows circling at a low altitude sensed danger and immediately flew far away.

“It’s about time, Mom.” Wen Rou’s mouth opened wider, as if she wanted to tear someone apart and swallow them whole. As long as Feng Nian stopped breathing, she would be able to call her long-dead mother back. She began to chant a dull spirit-summoning incantation, using Feng Nian as a living sacrifice to exchange for the return of the dead.

After the Spirit Summoning Incantation ended, the ground that the coffin was originally buried in began to shake, as if something was about to break out of the ground.

With a loud bang, the soil that had been filled up flew everywhere. When the dust dissipated, Wen Rou thought that the person who appeared in front of her was the mother she had missed for a long time. Little did she know that it was Feng Nian.

“Aren’t you dead?” Wen Rou shouted out the doubts in her heart, but she did not notice the hint of fear in her voice. She thought that Feng Nian, who was sealed in the coffin, would have her eyes bulging, her tongue sticking out, her skin pale, and died an ugly death.

Feng Nian reached out and flicked away the maggot that was moving on her arm. She raised her head and looked at Wen Rou with a smile. “Do you think a mere coffin can trap me?”

Wen Rou’s face was filled with disbelief. This coffin was made of a hundred-year-old willow tree, and the 18 coffin nails that sealed the coffin were made of the resentment of a hundred-year-old living dead. It was impossible for ordinary people to open this sealed coffin.

“Tell me, how do you want me to punish you?” Feng Nian pinched her nose. The living dead in front of her did not scare her. Instead, the smell of rotten meat was really unpleasant. It made her feel that she only wanted to end everything quickly.

Wen Rou quickly recovered from her shock. Her eyes had stopped bleeding, but the marks on her cheeks had not disappeared, making her look even more sinister. She was a little afraid of Feng Nian’s aura. She had never seen anyone come out of a sealed willow coffin.

Feng Nian took a few more steps in the direction of Wen Rou. “I’ll send you to accompany your mother.” As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly formed an array with her hands. A golden array instantly formed under Wen Rou’s feet.

The golden array immediately transformed into golden branches and wrapped around Wen Rou. She found that she could not move her hands and feet. She slowly turned her head like a robot and turned her head directly behind her back. She signaled the two living dead to help.

The two living dead moved forward with their rotting arms, trying to pull the golden branches away from Wen Rou. But as soon as their hands touched the branch, the rotten flesh immediately emitted a burning smell and quickly turned into black smoke that disappeared. They immediately let go, leaving only bones on their arms. The grayish-white finger bones could be seen clearly.

After letting out a painful roar towards the sky, the living dead abandoned Wen Rou and rushed towards Feng Nian without caring about anything else. This was because they knew that it was all because of Feng Nian that they had almost been reduced to ashes. They exhaled lumps of resentment from their mouths. Once they were tainted by this resentment, they would turn into flesh and bones like them.
