Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 318 Guests
This was not just knocking on the coffin, Wei Xi felt like his soul was being knocked out.

The knocking became more and more urgent. The clapping sounds from all directions were like a bronze bell trapping Wei Xi, or like the underworld was taking away Comrade Xiao Wei's soul.

Wei Xi's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he couldn't tell which was colder, his forehead or his heart.

"...It's death anyway! I want to see what's causing this!"

After encountering a series of strange things and being buried alive, Wei Xi's ruthlessness was completely aroused. He grabbed the bamboo knife and kicked open the coffin lid again.

When rushing out of the coffin, Wei Xi held the idea of "winning as long as he survives" and was ready to fight the insect-headed man to the death.

The problem is that the person knocking on the coffin was not the coffin-bearing insect leader who buried Wei Xi alive.

Wei Xi lowered his center of gravity and lay prone on the ground, looking like a giant gecko.

Wei Xi's eyes were a little afraid of light after she rushed out of the coffin. When she finally got used to the overly bright light, the scene before her made her hair stand on end.

The familiar coffin was parked in an unfamiliar place: it was a red room that looked like a place for weddings, but no one knew who had turned it into a mourning hall. Wei Xi's name was crookedly engraved on the tablet, placed between two plates of offerings.

Wei Xi, who was forced to die young, looked unhappy: red and white events colliding with each other is not a good thing no matter how you look at it, and who knows what strange things might happen.

Under the coffin lid that she kicked over was a wrinkled monkey.

The monkey, half the height of a human, had a pair of huge six-fingered human hands. Its lips were propped open by a huge red flower, and a black stamen stretched out from inside, covering half of the monkey's face. As the monkey twitched, the stamen trembled slightly.

A few nails were exposed on the edge of the coffin sunk in the ground. Wei Xi glanced at the shovel next to the monkey. It seemed that the coffin was opened by this strange-looking monkey.

Wei Xi did not rush out of the room: when she was buried, the coffin was in the wild. During the time she was in and out, this room suddenly appeared. If she rushed out rashly at this time, who knows what would happen.

Wei Xi's pupils shrank slightly, and four monkeys emerged from around the coffin, each with huge human hands.

Seeing their companion under the coffin, two monkeys rushed over and moved the lid away. The remaining two monkeys turned around to pull out another companion from the bottom of the pit. Under Wei Xi's shocked gaze, the last monkey crawled out from the ground covered in dust.

This was no longer the best time for a sneak attack, so Wei Xi put on a harmless look and tried to relax the monkey's vigilance.

"These monkeys opened the coffin... and don't seem to want to kill me," Wei Xi quickly considered a way out. "Although they look a bit strange, I can't use my spiritual power right now. They have the advantage in numbers, so if they want to kill me, they can just do it directly."

"Let's test these monkeys first," Wei Xi quickly made up his mind, "Perhaps everything the Longevity Wood did... can't be broken by brute force..."

At this moment, Wei Xi's rationality regained its upper hand: if it could be obtained easily, the wood of immortality would not be considered a treasure of heaven and earth.

Moreover, there are many adventures in the world of cultivating immortals, and many opportunities of cultivators are obtained through various tests. From this to that, Wei Xi is now 50% sure that this is the test of the Longevity Wood.

The six-fingered flower-mouthed monkeys lined up in a row and nodded slightly at Wei Xi. Then they clapped their huge hands and made sharp, short calls from their mouths.

If someone else were here, they would simply think these monkeys were too scary.

But Wei Xi is a born mute. In her eyes, these monkeys just can't speak human language and are using gestures to convey information.

"You want me to leave?" Wei Xi asked uncertainly, Ling Yin poking her head out from under her collar. The monkey, who was pointing at the door, nodded excitedly, fearing that Wei Xi would refuse to leave.

Wei Xi was a little hesitant, but it was not easy to refuse directly, so he talked about this and that and refused to go out.

It’s a pity that the six-fingered flower-mouthed monkey can’t speak, otherwise Wei Xi could have gotten some information out of it.

As time passed, Wei Xi noticed that the six-fingered flower-mouthed monkey became more and more irritable, as evidenced by its clapping speed becoming faster and faster, the red flower in its mouth becoming bigger and bigger, and the black stamens had climbed up to the monkey's neck.

Faced with this stomach-wrenching scene, even Wei Xi couldn't remain calm and his face turned pale.

Wei Xi couldn't help but wonder: What would happen if the red flowers in these monkeys' mouths fully bloomed?
Will these monkeys just split in two, or will the whole monkey become a living flowerpot for red flowers?
The six-fingered monkeys became more and more irritable. The last one to crawl out (the one that knocked on the bottom of the coffin) even started pushing Wei Xi's thighs, urging her to go out.

Wei Xi wanted to chop off their monkey heads with a bamboo knife, but the performer of "Carrying the Bridal Sedan" hadn't appeared yet, and there was no telling if he was hiding in some corner, watching her. If she killed the monkeys, her own head wouldn't stay warm for long.

The black-hearted Wei Xi does things this way, judging others by herself. There is no guarantee that the other party may have the same thoughts as her.

So Wei Xi was pushed to the door very embarrassedly. She was careful and asked the monkey to open the wooden door.

A sinister paper figure stood by the door, its mottled face covered in mildew, making its lips look red as if it had drunk blood.

Seeing Wei Xi coming out, the paper figurine twitched its lips stiffly, then gave a half-hearted salute and said in a broken voice, "Welcome, distinguished guest! Please come in!"

Wei Xiren was confused: sometimes it was a man with a bug head, sometimes it was a monkey with a flower mouth, and now the paper man could talk. It can only be said that human understanding is constantly deepening and developing in practice, which has raised her cognitive threshold.

"Distinguished guest?" Fortunately, Wei Xi caught the key words and immediately put on a haughty expression, looking the paper figurine up and down. "Can a distinguished guest be received with a crooked melon or a broken jujube?"

These words were unpleasant to the ears. After seeing the paper man, the extremely fawning monkeys became very dissatisfied and yelled at Wei Xi.

The paper figure glanced at the flower-mouthed monkeys, and the flower in the leading monkey's mouth instantly grew larger and bloomed to an unprecedented extent. The monkey's head was stretched open, and it was deader than dead.

Wei Xi could see clearly that the brain, which originally belonged to the monkey's head, had been squeezed into the shape of a skull by the red flowers and was stuck to the inside of the skull.

The remaining six-fingered monkey was so frightened that he dared not breathe. He stood obediently behind the paper man and tried his best to close his lips.

"Excuse me, distinguished guest," the paper figurine said in a calm voice, seemingly unconcerned with Wei Xi's whip-like words. "These foolish creatures are incompetent. No wonder you dislike them. Even a thousand deaths wouldn't be enough!"

"Originally, I wanted to send someone to pick you up, but there's a lot going on in the village, plus we have to prepare for the wedding, so it's inevitable that we can't spare anyone..."

"marriage?"

"Exactly! If you don't leave now, you might miss the auspicious time!"

　I miscounted yesterday. A cuboid has six sides, so the sound should be heard from six directions...

　　This part might seem a bit messy to you, but the wood of immortality is just that messy. Once Wei Xi refines (part of it), it will become quiet...
