Chapter 187: Isn’t It Me? (1)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Rong Yi rubbed his face hard, “I hope my second brother wouldn’t be stupid enough to chase the man in the picture.”
It’d be all right if he failed. But it he succeeded, well…He could not bear to see the one he loved would hang out with his second brother every day!
Alas! Maybe he thought too much! How is it possible there would be another Yin Jinye in modern world?
Rong Yi touched the stone wall in the living room of his family before it disappeared, “It can’t be my illusion.”
Here should be the joint point of the two worlds. And this should also be the place Rong Weiyi had guarded. Then it was quite possible he knew the existence of the modern world! If other cultivators found here, he really could not imagine what the modern world would become like.
Rong Yi stayed where he was for half an hour and the living room of his family no longer showed up again, so he kept moving forward. And that sound shouting for help no long appeared again, only the flowing sound of water was heard.
Now he felt so lucky that those elders had forced them to watch those video tapes of the secret realms, so he could have avoided those hidden triggers so easily. Like those plain flowers or grass, or some bugs, if you stamp on them by accident, you would bring in a swarm of bugs to chew you alive.
Rong Yi saw light ahead and thought it was the exit. He felt overjoyed and strode toward it. But it turned out that the light was from those luminous dews on the wall, but not light from the sun.
He was so disappointed. He had no idea when he would be able to find the way out.
Rong Yi looked around. Except a pool that was spraying water, there was only a pitch black tunnel.
At this time, a pile of light green fluorescent light was rising upon the wall and flew toward the dark exit.
Rong Yi looked carefully and found they were Bodylight Bugs that fed on bodies. As long as he didn’t startle them, they wouldn’t attack. But was it possible there were bodies inside since they were flying that way?
Out of curiosity, he followed those Bodylight Bugs behind. It was not quite spacious there which could only accommodate two people alongside. When he reached the innermost, there appeared a one-room big cave, with a wooden coffin having no lid lying there.
Rong Yi’s heart tightened up. Would there be a zombie in it?
He might not be that lucky to meet another zombie like Jiang Wu who fancied him so much.
He saw that those Bodylight Bugs were flying over the coffin but didn’t fly down to eat the body. Finally curiosity beat the hesitation in his heart.
He then walked over carefully, only seeing a handsome man with short hair in modern clothes lying in it as if he was sleeping sound.
“Ah…” Rong Yi was stunned, “Isn’t it me? How is it possible my body is here? In a coffin?”
He quickly stretched out a hand to feel his breath, and then felt the arm. But it had no temperature, like he was dead.
“Holy crap! If my soul couldn’t go back, wouldn’t my body get rotten?” Rong Yi tried to bring his body away with him. But it was like being stuck there, however hard he tried, he just couldn’t move it a bit, “How is it possible my body is so heavy?”
He then generated his spiritual power and pasted a flying rune on his body, but still it wouldn’t move a bit, and he also could not put it in his Storage Ring.
“People say one’s body would become very heavy after having died. So it’s true! Pooh…” Rong Yi made a few pooh quickly, “Shit! I am still here. How can I curse myself to die? That’s not good!”
But even if he could bring his body out of here, he had no ability to protect it at all.
After giving it some thoughts, Rong Yi only found that it’d be safer to leave his body in here. But he should do something in case his own body would get rotten. But then he noticed that the coffin was made of millennia ice wood that could ensure his body from rotting.
“Then you just stay here for some time. When I am powerful enough to extract my soul from this body, I would come back.”
After he said those words, his own body suddenly opened the eyes and looked at Rong Yi, wearing no expression. Rong Yi got startled and backed off a few steps in a split second. He dare say he was the first one who got intimidated by his own body, “Fuck! You scared the shit out of me! Is my body having cadaverization? If so, that’d be a big trouble.”
Seeing that his own body didn’t jump out, Rong Yi heaved a sigh of relief. Then he moved to the coffin again and saw that his body closed the eyes again, “You nearly scared to me death! If I died, it wouldn’t do you any good!”
He then checked the eyes of his own body, felt the impulse. After making sure it wouldn’t stand a chance to come alive, he started to guess that his body had reactions only because his soul leaned too close to it.
“You stay here and behave! I will come back to see you when I got time.”
Rong Yi saw that his own body was still wearing that storage ring, so he didn’t try to take anything from here in case that he would go back into his body and have no magic weapon to bring himself out of here.
Only after staring at his own body for some time did he leave and go back to the pool, “It looks like the water is flowing all the way here. Is it possible it is connected to the world outside?”
He had ever seen a video of one secret realm in which his ancestors had been trapped for a few months and finally found a way out through a pool.
