Chapter 309: Clouds of Truth and Falsehood

Wu Xian returned to the main house.

Under the candlelight, he read the information on the credentials carefully.

"Mourning Hall, coffin, underworld money, burial goods, offering, burial..."

"It seems these six items are all that is needed to complete a correct funeral. There is one more than the five elements I previously speculated. This list should be the reward for killing the pale ghost shadow."

In addition to these names, there were some scattered notes on the credentials, and these notes were also very important information.

First was the coffin that had just been bound.

Lightning-struck wood coffin: This coffin is made of hundred-year-old lightning-struck wood, awakened by the aura of thunder, which can enhance the coffin owner's thunder-attribute attacks! Wu Xian widened his eyes: "There's actually this kind of buff?"

In this way, other funeral elements might not just be decorations for making up the numbers.

Each funeral element had its own role, but whether one could get this gain effect depended on their own means and luck.

Then Wu Xian looked at the 'Underworld money' option.

Items that can be traded with underworld life can serve as underworld money. There is already an optional item 'Underworld banknotes'.

Underworld banknotes: Sold by the Heaven and Earth Bank, genuine underworld trading currency, widely recognized by underworld life, in short supply, purchasing power greater than the actual face value.

Wu Xian smiled again.

It seems that in the underworld, underworld banknotes are hard currency like gold, while other types of 'underworld money' are unreliable like gold-round coupons or the currency of turbulent small countries.

His choice to worship the Five Manifestations God of Wealth was correct. Underworld banknotes could indeed play a huge role in a correct funeral.

In addition, burial goods refer to items buried with the dead, and burial refers to things like paper people and paper dogs. Both of these vary from person to person. Wu Xian had already obtained the information, but he hadn't obtained the physical objects yet.

So now, the only things that were unclear.

Were the mourning hall and the offering.

A correct funeral needs to be held in the correct place, and that correct place, if there were no accidents, should be in the Undying City.

Now, there was one more reason to go to the Undying City.

Thinking of this.

Wu Xian's eyebrows almost knotted.

How were they going to move those heavy coffins and urns to the Undying City? Let the old men and old ladies help move them?

Stop joking...

Because Wu Xian killed the pale ghost shadow instantly.

So even though reading took some time, Wu Xian was still the first to return.

The second person to push the door and enter was Ran Huang Tian.

The front of his clothes was covered in blood, his mouth was stained with some meat residue, he was patting his belly, burping, and squatting in the corner with his eyes narrowed.

This terrifying appearance.

If sent to a horror movie, he wouldn't even need makeup to play the boss! Wu Xian really couldn't bear to look, so he found a wet rag to wipe his face.

Thus.

Ran Huang Tian started wagging his butt...

Countless goosebumps immediately rose on Wu Xian's body. He threw the rag on his face and stopped caring about him. He knew that this guy just wanted to wag his tail, but the scene was really hard to look at directly.

Then it was Wen Chao and Jiang Chun.

Wen Chao was laughing happily, turning back into that optimistic old man. The gloom caused by the 'Earth Official's Punishment' during the day was swept away.

Jiang Chun followed behind Wen Chao, step by step, with a veil hat on her head, and her movements were a bit stiff, perhaps she was injured.

Then Jian Lingyu, Su Xuan, Du E, and Wei Qinglan returned one after another. They also easily handled the giant pale ghost shadow.

It wasn't just Wu Xian who had means; everyone who could survive until now had some trump cards in their hands.

As soon as Du E returned.

She walked straight to Wu Xian's side with a cold face and sat down next to him. Wu Xian felt a chill and prepared himself. No matter what kind of fuss this woman was making, he could deal with it calmly.

Who knew that Du E just threw out a sentence out of the blue. "I should die in this Fudi... I hope you won't be surprised when you see me die."

After speaking.

She buried her face in her knees, her expression completely unclear, as if she were crying secretly.

Wu Xian was stunned.

What kind of situation was this again? Did she have an incurable disease, or was she under an unbreakable curse, or did she have thoughts of suicide due to the influence of malevolent entities? Wu Xian thought for less than a minute before giving up on thinking.

Trying to figure out Du E's thoughts was too difficult. He just treated this as another one of Du E's weird operations.

Waited for a while longer.

Li Juxian and Wei Hengbo, who were responsible for observing the number of moonlight monsters, also returned.

They brought back a message that wasn't too wonderful.

Perhaps because one moonlight monster was killed yesterday, today in the center of the village, there were green-clothed, white-headed monsters everywhere, at least dozens of them! Wei Hengbo felt his scalp tingle when he recalled the scene.

Wu Xian's mouth twitched.

"If this is the case, then the two plans set initially cannot be used at all."

Facing such an absolute quantity, whether it was directly going to fight the monster group in the center of the village or splitting up to deal with the monsters, it was too dangerous.

Therefore, everyone could only temporarily abandon the hunting plan for tonight.

Without the hunting plan.

Everyone could only wait in the main house. They didn't know when the three people cremated today would come to find them.

During the waiting process.

Everyone scanned and guarded against each other, their eyes full of distrust. The atmosphere in the room gradually became oppressive and solemn, and the smell of gunpowder gradually arose.

When they left, there were ten people, and when they returned, there were also ten. No one dying should have been a good thing.

But with the lesson of Gao Fushuai last night.

No one could guarantee that among the ten people who returned, no one had been possessed by the pale ghost shadow!

Wu Xian narrowed his eyes.

If they continued to suspect each other like this, it would affect the overall strength of the team.

Wei Hengbo couldn't help but stand up and say: "Why don't we think of a way to identify the ghost shadow? Always staring at each other like this is really suffocating."

His proposal was agreed upon by most people.

Wu Xian looked at Wen Chao strangely. According to Wen Chao's calm and composed character, he should have been the first to notice this kind of thing, but he was waiting for others to raise the problem...

It was easy to say.

It was hard to do.

Currently, the only way to verify human or ghost was through collective worship.

But sneak attacks could happen at any time, and no one wanted to wait until tomorrow morning to get an answer.

Moreover, the collective worship every morning was likely a reward for everyone escaping from the pale ghost shadow. Now that the pale ghost shadow was dead, everyone had received the reward, and whether there would be a chance for collective worship tomorrow morning was another matter.

Just when everyone was suspecting each other, Wu Xian proposed a solution.

"The body... the key lies in the body."

"If someone has been replaced, then the replaced person's body should remain in the coffin or urn. We only need to check the coffin once, and we will know who has been replaced."

This plan was very simple; everyone just needed to go out and take a look.

But Wen Chao's expression changed slightly.

Du E proposed another method: "I think we only need to check the coffins of the four newcomers. We six Lotus Juanren can use the information on the credentials to verify the truth!"

Her plan was also quite reliable.

But Wu Xian immediately realized that she didn't want people to look at her coffin either! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 310 =====
