MDZS Characters Watching the Future

41. Grave Digger

The noise sounded a lot like slamming on doors, but it wasn't. The bangs were carried out with force and at a fast pace, without a moment of rest. They sounded somewhat muffled, as if there was something separating them from the outside world.

"What the f*ck?!" cursed Jingyi while hiding himself behind his friends.

"What did I say about cursing?" asked Jiang Cheng.

Jingyi gulped nervously remembering his words. If it is the future Jiang Cheng then maybe he will let it go but the past him, we aren't sure.

"Wanyin, let him be for now. He seemed to be scared." said Lan Xichen.

Their faces immediately changed.

The fifty-or-so people of the YueyangChang Sect were currently lying in their coffins, slamming on their coffin lids from the inside. It was at night they were frightened to death-they madly slammed on the doors, but there wasn't anyone to let them out.

This was the slamming on coffins in the Chang Clan's cemetery that the liquor shop's waiter talked about!

"G-ghost." Jingyi stuttered.

"There is none." said Jin Ling angrily as Jingyi was tugging his robes forcefully.

However, the waiter said that the haunting was ten years ago and stopped long before now. Why would the slamming happen to start again when they came?

"So what is it?" asked Nie Huaisang who is hiding his face behind his fan.

"No idea." said the juniors.

Without passing any words between them, Wei WuXian and Lan WangJi both softened their breathing, stealthily moving without making a sound.

Propping themselves against the pillars of the pailou, they both saw that, in the center of the cemetery, there was a hole amid the tombstones.

It was a deep, recently-created hole with piles of dirt surrounding it. Faint noises came from within the hole.

Someone was digging out a grave.

"Who would do such immoral thing?" asked a random cultivator.

"Why would they do that?" asked another random cultivator.

"Watch." said Zizhen.

The two of them held their breaths, attentively waiting for the person in the hole to come out on their own.

Before an hour passed, two people hopped up from inside the opened grave.

"AAAHHHHH!" shouted the cultivators making Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng laughed at their reactions.

"Really? It's not even scary." said Wei Wuxian.

"How can it be not? What if it's something that can kill you?" asked Nie Huaisang.

"You're a cultivator. You know how to fight. Yet, you guys are scared of such thing." said Jiang Cheng.

Wei WuXian and Lan WangJi could tell that these were two people only because they had good vision. These two appeared as if they were conjoined twins. One carrying the other on their back, they were tightly connected together. With both of them wearing entirely black clothes, it was extremely hard to tell the two apart.

The person that hopped up had long legs and long arms, standing with his back toward them. The one that he carried seemed lifeless, their head and limbs hanging down. This was only natural. Since the person was dug out from a grave, then it must have been dead. Lifeless was what should've been expected of it.
