Chapter 16 Too Many Secrets

I never thought it would be him.

My heart was filled with emotions. Looking at the face in front of me, I couldn't help but say, "You, you are already dead, aren't you?"

Because the person who appeared at this time was none other than Duangong.

After I said this, I quickly came to my senses and realized that Duang Gong was indeed dead.

But there are people who have been pretending to be a Taoist priest to deal with me. The methods that Taoist priest gave me before were probably intended to plant something in me and then lead me into the abyss step by step. Until now, I feel that many things are part of his calculations.

At this moment, I saw a fairly familiar face, but I knew that behind this face there might be another face, or even no face at all.

And I was also surprised to find that a black aura was emanating from Duan Gong's body.

This yin energy seemed even more eerie under the gloomy light of the night.

I also saw several dark shadows appearing around Duangong. If nothing unexpected happened, these dark shadows were the ones carrying the coffin just now.

Looking at them like this, they don't look like living people at all.

I was so frightened that I didn't know what to do. I was so panicked that I couldn't say .

"You, who are you?"

He looked at me viciously, then said with a faint smile: "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is, who are you?"

I:"……"

I was a little confused by what he said.

Our eyes met, and for a split second, I felt like his gaze was piercing through me.

This feeling makes me a little anxious.

I was holding my breath and didn't let it out at all. When I wanted to release it and jump out of the coffin, suddenly a chain was swung towards me.

The heavy rain outside had stopped, leaving only gusts of wind, howling coldly.

I was chained and now had no way of escaping. I couldn't see the faces of those black shadows clearly.

My intuition told me that they were the ghosts that my cousin had once lied to me about.

But these ghosts are obviously not ordinary ghosts, because when I looked at them, I felt a breathtaking sense of oppression. When I faced my grandfather before, I only felt fear, not this feeling at all.

So I concluded in my heart that these ghosts were not ordinary ghosts.

And the "Duangong" who is in the lead is no ordinary person.

I don't know why they attacked me.

After the chains trapped me, I was pulled out of the coffin, but what came out was not my body, but my soul.

When my soul came out, I didn't feel a sense of landing at first. I felt light and uncomfortable.

But I soon realized that my soul had left my body, and a thought popped into my mind: Am I dead?

My grandfather and uncle died, and so did my father-in-law. Now it's my turn, and it's not that surprising.

It's just... I feel a little weird and scary for some reason.

I looked around but didn't see my cousin or the Taoist priest. I thought I was dead this time.

Duan Gong stared at me, his eyes fell on me viciously, and then said: "Boy, do you know how long I spent waiting for you?"

I looked at him in confusion. I had no idea what he was talking about. I had no idea what grudge he had against our family.

"What do you want to do?"

"Boy, were you born in a yin year, yin time, yin month?"

I was stunned for a few seconds. I didn't understand why he suddenly asked me this. I had heard from my grandfather before that I was born in a certain time, year and month.

The fate is not very good, and one is born with a lack of yang energy.

So when my cousin said he wanted to take me to slaughter pigs, my parents strongly opposed it and hoped that I would learn some other skills and do some decent work.

But only my grandfather went against the crowd and let me learn how to slaughter pigs from my cousin, and I learned this for many years.

But let’s not talk about anything else. After I learned how to slaughter pigs from my cousin, some animals would stay away from me when they saw me.

Now I heard the Taoist priest in front of me say these words again, and I felt confused and shocked at the same time.

I didn't answer him, but he was obviously very sure about this matter.

"You know what? You are a once-in-a-century tonic. As long as I eat you, I believe my Taoism will be greatly improved, and my status in the underworld will be able to rise to a higher level."

"Hell?"

When I heard these two words, my heart immediately couldn't help but be stirred again.

The underworld? Is this guy from the underworld?

Are these ghosts all evil spirits?

Thinking of this, I was stunned and stared at the Taoist priest in front of me with my mouth wide open.

Could it be that my enemy is Duangong? Listening to him say these words, I still felt a little angry.

Now I have no way out. I will die no matter what. Instead of this, I might as well be braver and ask some questions clearly.

I gritted my teeth and looked at the Taoist priest in front of me with hatred.

I am absolutely sure in my heart that he is not a Taoist priest.

"Since your target is me, why did you want to kill innocent and kind people like my grandfather and uncle?"

If I wasn't chained at this moment, I would have to fight him even if I had to risk my life.

When Duangong heard what I said, he was obviously stunned for a few seconds.

"Kid, your grandfather deserves to die. Who told him to meddle in other people's business? He even dared to interfere in the affairs between you and me. If I don't kill him, who should I kill?"

His voice was extremely cold and without any emotion. I immediately became furious and cursed, "You son of a bitch, you deserve to die."

"Whether I will die or not, I don't know, but you will soon vanish into thin air."

There was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"And why did you kill my uncle? And Duan Gong, you won't let him go?"

I almost roared as I asked the last two questions in my mind.

"Your uncle?"

"Yes, it's my uncle. My uncle is such a good person, why did you kill him?" I shouted hysterically.

I was a little emotionally broken. I didn't expect that my grandfather died to protect me.

I continued to stare at him, waiting for his answer.

But what I didn't expect was that he suddenly looked solemn and said, "Boy, who said I killed your uncle?"

This sentence left me confused for a moment, and I couldn't come back to my senses.

"What did you say? Didn't you kill my uncle?"
