Chapter 759 - Open the Coffin
Walking ahead of Gao Ge and Zhang Jian, Sir Ma is also shocked to hear their conversation.
He turns to look at Gao Ge and points at the cabin.
“The coffin is placed inside.”
“I know.” Gao Ge nods his head.
Sir Ma whispers, “Shall we make some preparations?”
Ge Chunrong can’t help asking, “Tell me what we should prepare?”
“Well... Like talismans? Sticky rice? Ink strings?” Sir Ma asks.
“Forget it. We are cultivators, not Taoist priests.” Ge Chunrong doesn’t know whether to cry or to laugh. He is so astonished by Sir Ma’s mindset.
Sir Ma heaves a sigh. It seems that he feels Gao Ge and the others are not reliable.
Unwilling to explain to him, Gao Ge urges him to move faster.
When they get to the door of the cabin, Sir Ma and the two young men behind him stop as if they are afraid of going inside. He whispers to Gao Ge, “Well, Mr. Gao, can we wait outside?”
Seeing Sir Ma’s frightened look, Gao Ge can’t be bothered to make things difficult for him. Hence, Gao Ge only nods and goes inside with Ge Chunrong and Zhang Jian.
The cabin is not big, in which there is a coffin. Sir Ma says outside, “Mr. Gao, the coffin is really heavy. It took seven or eight people to carry it here.”
Gao Ge chuckles.
They are quite bold indeed.
They dared to touch the coffin.
Although Sir Ma is still standing outside, he seems to have guessed Gao Ge’s thought so he says helplessly, “We were too frightened. If we left the coffin in the sun and the corpse got out of the coffin, what should we do?”
Gao Ge pulls a wry face.
Sir Ma is so insightful.
However, such a worry makes sense anyway. Especially the elder like Sir Ma may pay more attention to this kind of matter.
“Mr. Gao, there is something wrong with the coffin indeed,” Zhang Jian says.
Gao Ge takes a look at him with complicated eyes.
Even an idiot can perceive that something is wrong with the coffin in the cabin.
This is a red coffin. More dreadfully, the coffin looks as if it were painted just now.
Apart from that, Gao Ge also realizes that the odor they smelt when they went near the cabin actually comes from the coffin.
“Gao Ge, what shall we do?” Ge Chunrong asks.
“Open the coffin,” Gao Ge says.
“What?” Ge Chunrong is startled.
“Or else?” Gao Ge says smilingly, “We are not Taoist priests. What else can we do other than open the coffin? Putting aside whether the corpse will come back to life, even if it turns out to be a Ghost King, what’s to fear?”
Ge Chunrong thinks about it and finds what Gao Ge said quite reasonable so he doesn’t object then.
Gao Ge takes two steps forward and stands beside the coffin. Even so, he can feel the cold.
This is the so-called Yin Qi.
Yin Qi and evil Qi are different.
“Carry the coffin outside first,” Gao Ge says in a stern voice.
“Okay.”
Of course, Gao Ge doesn’t need to do this kind of trivial thing on his own.
Ge Chunrong and Zhang Jian are the assistants of Gao Ge.
They directly carry the coffin outside together.
Sir Ma guarding outside is stupefied in shock.
Dang.
It is because he is frightened that he stays outside. However, he still cannot get away from that. Why does Gao Ge have it carried outside?
What must happen will happen anyway.
That’s how he feels now.
He wants to cry!
“Mr. Gao, what do you mean?” Sir Ma doesn’t dare to take Gao Ge lightly but he still can’t help coming forward and asking when he sees the coffin is being carried outside.
Gao Ge takes a look at him and arches his eyebrows, saying, “What are you saying?”
“Why do you move the coffin out?”
Gao Ge thinks about it and says seriously, “The light is poor inside.”
Sir Ma thinks about it and also becomes lost for words. There seems to be nothing wrong with Gao Ge’s explanation.
Sir Ma cannot volunteer to carry a lit lantern aside anyway.
He feels that he still doesn’t have the courage.
Therefore, he may leave it to Gao Ge.
He should just let Gao Ge cope with this as he wishes...
“Hey, Sir Ma, will you open the coffin?” Gao Ge waves at Sir Ma and says.
Sir Ma can’t help shuddering.
What the heck! This is not giving a prize!
“You may do it yourself.” Sir Ma hastens to take several steps backward with an obsequious smile, his face full of fear.
Gao Ge doesn’t make things difficult for him.
He feels that if Sir Ma were not the village head of Red Fish Village, he would run away now.
Gao Ge pats on the coffin and instantly, the Yin Qi covering the coffin is instantly shattered.
The cover becomes loose at once.
Gao Ge puts his hand on it and turns to look at Ge Chunrong, asking, “Do we need to cast a spell when we open the coffin?”
Ge Chunrong contemplates and says in a low voice, “Abracadabra?”
Gao Ge laughs and turns around, his face becoming serious.
He shouts, “Alakazam!”
With a bang, the coffin cover is lifted, which spins several rounds in the air and falls to the ground heavily.
His action is simple and violent.
It is not because Gao Ge doesn’t regard the corpse in the coffin with respect and reverence. Instead, the coffin shows up on its own obviously to make trouble. In this case, Gao Ge doesn’t have to be nice.
“Erk?” Seeing the corpse in the coffin, Gao Ge is completely dumbstruck.
Zhang Jian and Ge Chunrong also hasten to go forward and look at the coffin. They can’t help frowning.
A bad odor permeates the air. Sir Ma and the others also take two steps back.
“Mr. Gao, what’s going on?” Sir Ma pinches his nose and asks, “Is the corpse odor poisonous?”
Sir Ma is not young. Gao Ge cannot figure out why this old man is so cowardly.
“Why don’t you come over and take a look yourself?”
“What?” Sir Ma thinks about it. He sees that Gao Ge and his peers are standing there as if everything were fine. And he himself doesn’t feel uncomfortable. Then, he drags the two young people behind him and plucks up the courage to go forward.
They stick out their heads and take a glance into the coffin. Instantly, they are slack-jawed.
“This... This is Hu?”
Sir Ma’s voice is trembling nervously.
There are still many worms wriggling on the corpse, which is the most shocking part. It is warm here but it hasn’t been long since Hu was missing. Even if he died at the moment of being lost, his corpse couldn’t decay so fast.

Sir Ma slumps on the ground with dull eyes. The two young people are also gravely terrified.
