Chapter 37 Heavy Rain Floating Coffin
  In the early morning, the rain was still falling, and the rain was quite heavy and pouring.

There was a curtain of rain between the sky and the earth, filled with water vapor.

Wang Shen came out holding an umbrella, but within a short time his clothes were wet from the rain.

"It's raining so hard!"

Well, Wang Shen looked at the river not far away. In the pouring rain, he vaguely saw something floating on the river.

"what?"

He walked some distance thinking about Qinghe and took a closer look.

"coffin!"

The thing floating on the fast river turned out to be a coffin.

"It was raining so hard that it washed out someone's coffin buried in the ground?"

Wang Shen watched the coffin float away. At this moment, he saw two small boats rushing down from the upstream, with several people wearing raincoats on them.

"It's raining so heavily, but there are actually boats in the Qinghe River. Aren't they afraid of the water monster?"

"Faster, faster, faster!" people on the boat were shouting.

“You’re still paddling?!”

Wang Shen watched them catch up with the coffin.

"Why are you chasing that coffin? It's my ancestor's coffin?"

"Come closer, slow down, slow down."

The people on the boat suddenly threw out a rope. There was a hook tied to one end of the rope, which directly hooked the coffin and pulled the coffin to the side of the boat.

"Ashore, ashore!"

After holding the coffin, the ship began to prepare to dock.

Not long after, in the wind and rain, the two ships docked one after another. The people on the ships got down and started dragging the coffin to the shore.

"Strength!"

The coffin was quite heavy and was washed by the current, so it was quite troublesome for a few strong men to drag it.

One of the men took a hemp rope, went into the water, and tied the coffin around. The other end of the rope was tied to a tree on the shore to prevent the coffin from being washed away by the water again.

Crunch, a crisp sound, no one noticed the sound in the wind and rain.

A hook slid slightly and hooked on the coffin lid. With the man's force, the coffin lid moved to the side, revealing a gap through which rainwater flowed in.

Finally, these people dragged the coffin ashore with great effort.

"Huh, I finally got it, but I'm exhausted."

In the wind and rain, a hand suddenly stretched out from the seam of the coffin and suddenly grabbed the lid of the coffin, with blue-black skin.

"Brother, what should I do with this coffin?"

"Wait, someone will take care of it."

There was a sound and the coffin lid moved.

"what happened?"

Several people were stunned for a moment, staring at the coffin in front of them.

Then there was another sound, and the coffin lid moved again.

The expressions of those people changed, and they subconsciously took a few steps back, staring directly at the coffin.

Suddenly a blue-black arm stretched out from the coffin.

"It's broken, it's a walking corpse!"

Several people panicked, turned around and ran away.

A figure sat up from the coffin and turned to stare at the backs of several people.

Screams echoed in the forest.

"Scream?"

Wang Shen, who was holding an umbrella, heard screams coming from the forest.

"What's going on? You're committing suicide?"

He did not lean forward, but quietly looked at the forest in the heavy rain.

After a while, the screams disappeared. After a while, he saw someone coming from a distance and rushing into the woods.

In the woods, on the ground, there were several corpses, their stomachs disemboweled, their heads bitten open, and the blood that flowed out was scattered by the rain. Not far from the corpses, there was a coffin, and the lid of the coffin was opened.

The few people who rushed over looked at each other.

After about half an hour, gang leader Lei Liang and two people rushed to the woods. Seeing this scene in the woods, Lei Liang's face turned ugly. He hurriedly came to the coffin and looked into the coffin. .

He suddenly raised his hand and slapped the coffin lid shut with a bang.

"Bring back!"

He waved his hand, and someone immediately came forward with hemp ropes, sticks, and coffins to carry the coffin away.

Lei Liang raised his head and looked around the forest. When he saw the warehouse in the distance, his eyes paused for a moment.

It's daybreak, but the rain still hasn't stopped.

In a manor outside Wuyang County, in a secret room. Lei Liang and the man who had his whole body hidden in his clothes were surrounding the coffin.

"Sir, how can he still be alive after all these years?"

"It may not be him, maybe it's Jiuzhan Magpie's Nest." The man in the cloak looked inside the coffin.

"Gang leader, please look." The man pointed a finger at the inside of the coffin. The finger was pale without a trace of blood.

"This is the treasure in Qinghe."

Lei Liang took a closer look and saw that there were actually some patterns carved around the coffin. Thin lines were like water waves. Among the water waves were fish, turtles, lotuses, palaces...

"Golden eel and green lotus root, silver caltrop and flower loach, these are treasures no less than century-old ginseng."

"Sir, you know that I want more than this."

"No matter who he is, he needs to eat after being sealed in this coffin for so long." The man hidden in the cloak said softly.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Have you ever caught fish, gang leader?"

……

The rain outside didn't stop until it got dark in the afternoon, but it hadn't stopped completely and was still pattering.

When Wang Shen was about to leave the city, Chen Zheng came.

"You'd better not go to the warehouse outside the city these days." He said bluntly as soon as he entered the room.

"Why?"

"Yesterday a coffin floated out of the Qinghe River."

"I saw it." Wang Shen said.

"You saw it, then do you know that the things inside came to life?"

"Alive, water ghost?"

"It's very possible, but several of the gang disciples who salvaged the coffin were killed. Their stomachs were opened and their heads were bitten. They were similar to the dead bodies found on the Qinghe River a few times before."

"Water ghost?" Wang Shen raised his hand and rubbed his forehead after hearing this.

When he first saw the floating corpses in the river, he thought it was just a panic created by the Qinghe Gang to prevent people from entering the river.

But now it seems that there is indeed something in the river, but it was in a state of sleep or seal before, and now it has been released.

The fake water ghost turned into a real water ghost!
  "Water ghosts won't come ashore, right?"

"That's hard to say. Why would you take that risk?" Chen Zheng asked confused.

"Where can I find such a good place to practice in Wuyang County?" Wang Shen said with a smile.

The reason why he insisted on going to the warehouse was that it was convenient to practice. Recently, he also found that the effect of practicing Qi by the river was much better than in the city, and it seemed to be getting better and better.

Wang Shen suspected that this might be related to the small token he got.

So unless he encounters something unavoidable, he has no intention of changing places.

Chen Zhengjian couldn't persuade him, so he could only sigh and advise him to be careful at night and pay attention when sleeping.

"How about you get a dog? It can help you keep watch at night."

"Yeah, let me think about it." Wang Shen nodded in agreement.
