Chapter 149 The Hall of Vigil
Li Ping'er rubbed her still somewhat blurry eyes, still feeling sleepy.
He was so tired that it seemed he hadn't heard anything clearly.
He subconsciously shook his head at Imperial Censor Li, muttering, "Father, what other sound could I hear besides your voice?"
Upon hearing this, Imperial Censor Li was taken aback and thought to himself: Could it be that he was hallucinating because he was too grief-stricken?
Just as he was thinking this, he was about to tell his son to burn some paper money for him.
However, before he could speak, a clear and rapid "thump-thump" sound suddenly entered his ears again!
The sound was like someone tapping on wood.
At almost the same time, Li Yushi and Li Ping'er turned their heads away as if by unspoken agreement.
All eyes turned to the coffin containing the old lady's body.
Under their watchful eyes, a crisp "snap" was heard, followed by the sight of a thin, bony hand emerging from the coffin!
The hand slammed down on the edge of the coffin...
Immediately afterwards, another crisp "snap" was heard.
Then, another hand slammed heavily on the other side of the coffin.
In an instant, a chilling scraping sound echoed throughout the mourning hall.
It was as if some terrifying force was struggling to emerge from inside the coffin.
Just then, to their horror, the two saw the old lady, dressed in a loose burial gown, sit up straight from inside the coffin!
Her movements were slow and stiff. Then, she slowly turned her head, her eyes staring straight at the two people in front of her, who were frozen in fear.
"My eldest son, my dear grandson, why are you still sitting on the ground? Don't you feel cold? Come and sit with your grandmother!"
The old lady's voice was low and hoarse, carrying a hint of eeriness.
These sudden words terrified the two people who were already extremely frightened, making them even more terrified.
They had no time to care about family ties or ethics; they only had one thought in their minds: get out of here as soon as possible!
"Ah~ A ghost~~"
"Ah~ A ghost~~"
Two piercing screams tore through the night sky and echoed through the heavens. The two could no longer care about anything else and desperately took off running.
However, due to excessive fright, their legs were already weak and powerless. After running only a few steps, they fell heavily to the ground as if they had lost control, looking utterly pathetic.
The loud noise finally woke up the other members of the Spirit Guard who were dozing off.
They opened their eyes sleepily, looking around in confusion, not knowing what had happened.
When they saw the old lady sitting upright in the coffin, and the two people lying on the ground trembling, constantly shouting "There are ghosts!"
They were all instantly terrified, their faces turning deathly pale, and their hands and feet trembling uncontrollably.
However, at that moment, everyone looked in horror at the old lady who had already sat up.
He was extremely timid; just one glance was enough to cause him immense shock, and he fainted instantly.
Those who were a little braver were now ashen-faced, their legs trembling uncontrollably, completely unable to stand.
With only a sliver of their survival instinct remaining, they struggled to crawl slowly toward the door, supporting themselves on their hands.
"Jinxian, what exactly is your mother's unfulfilled wish?" A member of the Li family asked, his voice trembling as he crawled out.
His body trembled uncontrollably with extreme fear, and he didn't dare to turn his head even once, as if something terrible would happen if he looked at it even once more.
Even if it were his own mother who had risen from the dead, Imperial Censor Li would have been terrified by the scene before him.
He was completely stunned, his mind blank, unable to think of anything at all.
.
Looking at the old lady who was still sitting upright in the coffin, she was completely unaware of the panic and confusion of those around her.
Huh, why is the spot where she was just lying so hard?
The old woman was actually woken up by the cold. As she spoke, she reached out and touched the wooden board beneath her, a look of dissatisfaction on her face.
Immediately afterwards, the old lady turned her gaze to Li Ping'er in the crowd and called out, "My dear grandson, come quickly to your grandmother."
Upon hearing the old lady's shouts, Li Ping'er, who was already trembling on the ground like a leaf in the wind, trembled even more violently and almost collapsed to the ground.
His grandmother seemed to be clinging to him; otherwise, why would she keep calling him over?
This situation is truly chilling.
Li Yushi, who was standing to the side, was already trembling with fear, but he did not want the old lady to die peacefully and be laid to rest as soon as possible.
Despite his grief, he mustered his courage and opened his mouth to say, "Mother, if you have any grievances or resentments in your heart, please take them out on me!"
Ping'er is still young and cannot withstand such a fright. Please, have mercy on him and let him go!
If you have any unfulfilled wishes, please tell me, and I will take care of them for you immediately.
You always dote on Ping'er, how can you bear to pester him like this now? Mother, my dear mother!
At this moment, the old lady, who was still sitting upright in the coffin, finally realized after some observation that she seemed to be inside a wooden box.
Moreover, the clothes she was wearing were unusually large, unlike the soft and comfortable clothes she usually wore.
Then, she raised her slightly cloudy eyes and cautiously looked around.
In an instant, she realized that it was this disobedient and unfilial son who had put her into the coffin.
They set up a mourning hall with great fanfare, and then unleashed their anger on Imperial Censor Li, who was still lying on the ground.
"You unfilial son! What unfulfilled wish do I have left? It's to take you with me on this journey. Open your dog eyes and see if your mother is truly dead or not. Don't let this delay your feast..."
This sudden barrage of criticism completely stunned Imperial Censor Li.
The old lady who was cursing seemed to be his own mother. Imperial Censor Li opened his mouth for a long time, but couldn't utter a single word.
The old lady, still sitting inside the coffin, looked at her own stupid self, lying blankly on the ground, and her anger flared up instantly.
"You unfilial son! I haven't even asked if your mother is dead yet, and you've already set up a mourning hall for me. You despicable bastard, are you cursing me to die?"
