Chapter 715: Chapter 715: 99 Turns into 1_1
Qin Sisi seed attracted by the Phoenix, and she could not help but walk a few steps towards the coffin. Her eyes gradually focused, and a joyous light appeared on her face.
"What’s wrong?" Ye You felt Qin Sisi’s emotional change and asked.
"Xiao Hei, is it ti yet?" Qin Sisi counter-questioned, looking nervous.
Ye You sighed softly and replied in a low voice, "Yes, we only have half an hour left."
Without further hesitation, Qin Sisi imdiately pointed toward the coffin and exclaid, "Xiao Hei, look at that Phoenix."
Ye You raised his head and glanced at the Phoenix pattern engraved on the side of the coffin, then asked perplexedly, "I see it, but is there a problem?"
Qin Sisi explained excitedly, "The Phoenix pattern ans there is a woman in the coffin. According to the customs here, a mirror will be placed in the coffin when a woman is buried."
Ye You’s eyes changed instantly. He imdiately sprang from Qin Sisi’s arms and jumped on top of the coffin.
"Be careful," Qin Sisi warned, "There’s sothing odd about this coffin."
She briefly explained the incident when the black smoke erged from the coffin and absorbed the little ghoul leader the previous night. It all happened so suddenly. The black smoke erupted and rapidly sucked in the ghoul leader, then disappeared without a trace.
Ye You’s gaze was deep as a pool. Now that they had co this far, no matter how terrifying the entity in the coffin was, he had to try.
He quietly transferred his magic power to levitate himself above the ground, placed both paws on the edge of the coffin lid, and applied force to push it open.
With a series of creaks from the scraping wood, the coffin lid was pushed open, revealing its occupant to their eyes.
Over the long stretch of ti, the person in the coffin had turned into a skeleton. A black funeral shroud, embroidered with a golden Phoenix, covered the body, leaving only the skull exposed. Above the skull was a shiny and precious Phoenix crown radiating a golden light.
Qin Sisi and Ye You both tensed up, held their breaths, and prepared for combat. However, after waiting a while, there was no movent from the skeleton in the coffin.
Qin Sisi gritted her teeth, gathered her courage, and reached her hand into the coffin, feeling around the edges.
Soon, she touched sothing with a very smooth surface, but the edge was a bit sharp.
Qin Sisi’s heart tightened, and she quickly drew it out. In her grasp was indeed a mirror embedded in a wooden flower fra.
Despite the passage of long ages, the mirror’s surface was still smooth and bright. Qin Sisi clearly saw her own reflection.
"Xiao Hei, I’ve found the mirror!" Cried Qin Sisi cheerfully. She was about to hand the mirror to Ye You when she found that she could not move her arm.
She looked down in confusion, only to see a pale, bony hand grasping her wrist.
"Ah!" Qin Sisi couldn’t help but scream in panic. She tried hard to break free from the skeletal grip but found it was as strong as a vise, holding her wrist tightly.
Qin Sisi tried to compose herself, took the mirror with her left hand and threw it towards Ye You, "Xiao Hei, catch it!"
Ye You’s eyes were sharp as he leaped up, his paw rapidly firing a ray of blue light.
The mirror was hit by the blue light and imdiately soared backwards, then steadily stuck on the wall as if it had been fixed there.
The occupant of the coffin finally spoke, the hoarse and throaty voice was the sa as the one they heard when the black smoke devoured the ghoul leader, "Young girl, you’ve trespassed into my sleeping chamber and I didn’t make it hard for you. Now you even steal my personal item, how unreasonable."
Qin Sisi quickly replied, "Elder, it’s not our intention to disturb you, we’re just borrowing your mirror for a mont, and we’ll return it soon."
"Elder?" The hoarse voice repeated these three words, seeming rather dissatisfied with the address.
A thought flashed through Qin Sisi’s mind. In such a critical mont, she had to set aside ’honesty’ first and tried to speak in the most polite manner, "Miss, beautiful lady, we will return your mirror shortly. Could you please let go of
first?"
While speaking, her other hand was already gripping the Divine Dog’s Fury. If this old ghost insisted on not letting go, she might have to resort to violence.
However, Qin Sisi hoped to resolve the situation peacefully since this old ghost’s power would likely be strong. Even if they could beat it, they would probably lose so ti, and for them now, ti was of the utmost importance.
While Qin Sisi was speaking with the old ghost in the coffin, Ye You was already in action. He waved his paw lightly, and the snow-white Refining Spirit Bottle was brought out for the last ti.
Ye You softly recited a spell, injecting a hint of spiritual power into the bottle.
The once ordinary-looking Refining Spirit Bottle suddenly burst out with an incredibly dazzling light. One by one, shimring stars flew out of it.
The cycle of heaven is circular and repetitive. Ninety-nine as one, never-ending.
Eighty-one soul powers condensed into eighty-one bright and dazzling stars, akin to diamonds, arranged in the air into a square of nine rows and nine columns, like a mysterious checkerboard.
After the eighty-one soul powers flew out, the light of the Refining Spirit Bottle imdiately dimd and finally fell powerlessly to the ground, shattering with a "clink."
At this mont, Ye You had nowhere to retreat.
Under his control of magic, the chessboard made of soul power began to shrink, shrinking to the sa size as the mirror, and then was gently pushed by Ye You into the mirror.
The eighty-one soul powers that entered the mirror seed to lose control suddenly, becoming chaotic, and flying randomly without any pattern.
However, monts later, those diamond-like bright stars once again ford a unified trajectory, beginning to orbit the center of the mirror. Slowly, a circular passage was ford.
It was dark and unfathomable, with no idea where it led.
Ye You, delighted, leaped towards the mirror.
"Sisi, let’s go!" As Ye You passed by Qin Sisi, he grabbed her left hand, trying to take her into the circular tunnel that had appeared in the mirror.
However, the old ghost in the coffin was still firmly gripping Qin Sisi’s right wrist and ominously said, "You took my items without my consent, shouldn’t you leave sothing in compensation?"
Compensation?
Qin Sisi looked distressed, she had only co out to pay respects to the grave, she hadn’t brought any valuables with her.
Ye You’s eyes narrowed, he turned and struck a ray of blue light at the old ghost’s skeletal hand.
