"Brother Wei, what did you say?"
Cao Yu looked over from inside the coffin.
"Nothing,"
Zhang Wei shook his head, not intending to tell Cao Yu that he had been targeted by the Wei Dao Division in the Northeast. Knowing too much about such matters wouldn't do Cao Yu any good.
Immediately after.
Cao Yu examined the coffin, letting out a sigh of relief.
"The age of the coffin is different from the age of the dry well. Someone must have moved the coffin here later. It's unlikely there's a ghost inside with the same age as the coffin. What do you think, Brother Wei?"
The coffin was at least 50 years old. If there was a ghost with that much cultivation inside, it would generally be buried or hidden, not go to the trouble of moving its location.
In other words.
If there was a ghost with 50 years of cultivation, it would have definitely noticed when the coffin was moved and wouldn't have remained indifferent. It was highly probable that another ghost had occupied this coffin.
Regarding Cao Yu's words, Zhang Wei nodded in agreement.
"You're right, Cao Yu. The ghost inside isn't a powerful one, not even a Red-Clothed Fierce Ghost. It's likely a ghost that stumbled upon this coffin, and the original ghost is long gone. So, that ghost moved the coffin to occupy its place and cultivate."
In fact.
After Zhang Wei confirmed that the coffin was not from the person behind the Northeast Iron Coffin Zombie, he sensed the strength of the ghost lying in the coffin through his Heavenly Eye and his own power.
Upon learning that the ghost wasn't even a Red-Clothed Fierce Ghost.
Zhang Wei looked bored and thought disdainfully.
"I thought I'd encounter someone formidable, but it turns out to be this kind of trash."
At this moment.
Cao Yu spoke to Zhang Wei.
"Then, Brother Wei, shall we lift this coffin out and lure the ghost out to kill it?"
Having confirmed the ghost's strength, Cao Yu no longer had any reservations. He prepared to lift the coffin out and then crush both the coffin and the ghost with the car.
In response.
Zhang Wei waved his hand.
"That's too much trouble. Moving a coffin out late at night, not to mention we just ate, and doing such strenuous exercise is bad for our health. Moreover, the farmers need to sleep. It's not worth it for a little trash ghost."
Before he finished speaking.
Zhang Wei grinned and said.
"Leave this to me. By the way, Cao Yu, help me find a big stone."
Then Zhang Wei ran directly to the Wuling Hongguang car and took out an anime figurine of Igneel, the Fire Dragon, from 'Fairy Tail.'
The figurine resembled a dragon from Western mythology, entirely red and covered in scales.
After Zhang Wei brought the figurine.
Cao Yu also found a stone about the size of a notebook.
"Brother Wei, is this stone okay?" Although he didn't know what Zhang Wei was going to do, Cao Yu still complied.
"This stone is fine, absolutely fine."
"Then it's settled. By the way, Brother Wei, what are you doing?"
Cao Yu asked curiously.
Zhang Wei said he would handle the coffin, but what he was doing now seemed unrelated to dealing with the coffin.
"Dealing with the ghost in the coffin."
Zhang Wei replied, revealing his pearly white teeth.
Then.
Under the gaze of Cao Yu and the others, he picked up the stone and the Igneel figurine and threw them into the well.
At the same time.
[Ding! Ability Card 'Shrink the Ground to an Inch - Underworld Version' used!]
As the system prompt sounded in his mind, Zhang Wei moved his thoughts, thought of a place, and teleported the ghost in the coffin, along with its surroundings.
The next moment.
The system voice in his mind sounded again.
[Ding! Target teleportation complete!]
At the same time.
Cao Yu couldn't help but exclaim after seeing Zhang Wei throw the stone.
"Holy crap?! Brother Wei, you..."
He was stunned.
He had expected Zhang Wei to have some unexpected method to deal with the ghost in the coffin, but... this was it?
This was simply throwing a stone to smash the ghost out of the coffin.
Just as he was thinking this.
He saw Zhang Wei pat the dust off his hands, turn his head, and say.
"Done. Let's go."
"Huh??? Brother Wei, are you sure it's done? You just threw a stone to startle the ghost. We still need to send the ghost on its way... By the way, why isn't the ghost coming out? Is it sleeping that soundly?"
Let alone Cao Yu, even his colleagues were somewhat bewildered.
They had witnessed Zhang Wei's ghost-exorcising process from beginning to end. He just threw a stone with carved words, and they didn't even see the ghost, yet he declared it finished.
Zhang Wei knew what they were thinking and replied with a smile.
"I've already sent the ghost away. If you don't believe me, come and see for yourselves."
Out of curiosity.
Cao Yu and his colleagues walked to the dry well beside Zhang Wei and looked down.
Upon looking.
Both of them were stunned and exclaimed in unison.
"My God? Where's the ghost? No, where's the coffin?"
At this moment.
Through the light of the mobile phone's flashlight, the situation in the well was clear. The scene inside was no different from before, except for the absence of the coffin, as if it had never appeared. Not to mention the ghost, not even a piece of the coffin could be found.
At this time.
Zhang Wei's voice followed closely.
"See? I wasn't lying. I've already dealt with the ghost, and the coffin along with it."
As soon as he spoke.
Cao Yu and his colleagues exchanged glances, and they could see the bewilderment in each other's eyes.
"Brother Yu, did I miss something? What did Mr. Zhang Wei do? Why is the coffin gone?"
"...This, I wanted to ask you. What did Brother Wei do just now? Didn't he just throw a stone? How did the coffin disappear?"
"Could it be that throwing a stone smashed both the ghost and the coffin into powder?"
"Are you kidding me? Do you see any powder in the well? If that were the case, it wouldn't be smashing into powder, it would have vaporized the coffin."
"Then, Brother Yu, how should I write this report?"
"Uh, just write it as I told you earlier."
"Ah? Brother Yu, are you sure? Write that Mr. Zhang Wei threw a stone at the ghost, and it evaporated?"
Cao Yu's face suddenly showed unconcealed astonishment.
In his opinion, Zhang Wei throwing the stone was to lure out the ghost, especially since they had just eaten and were quite full, which was why he used the easy method of throwing a stone to lure out the ghost. However, the reality was not like this.
Just as Cao Yu was about to respond to his colleague's words.
A voice came from Zhang Wei's side.
"By the way, Cao Yu, where did you find that stone? Why does it smell a bit?"
"I just picked it up nearby. Cough, maybe an animal urinated on it or something."
With Cao Yu's words echoing in his ears, Zhang Wei nodded and checked his phone.
"It's getting late. Aren't we going to the bathhouse? Let's go back to the hotel and sleep."
"That's fine too."
Cao Yu seemed to have thought of something and continued.
"Brother Wei, the water ghost mission is complete. Are you returning to Luxia City tomorrow? Why not stay one more day? You've come to Rongcheng City, and I've already told my dad that we'll host you properly."
"Then I'll stay one more day."
Zhang Wei, gazing into the distance, replied with a smile and then, out of the blue, asked.
"Cao Yu, you say it's summer now, and it's so hot in our southern region. It should be very hot in the Amazon as well, right?"
...
The next day.
This was a vast forest. In this era of electronics on Planet Blue Star, it still maintained its primeval forest appearance.
Ancient trees towered high, with ancient trees that could be embraced by one or even ten people found everywhere. Lush greenery covered the ground, and the roars of fierce birds and beasts could be heard from time to time, filling the air with a primitive aura.
Standing on top of a large tree and looking into the distance.
One could see.
This forest stretched continuously, covering a full 7 million square kilometers, with the naked eye unable to see its end, appearing like a green ocean.
This was the Amazon rainforest, the most primeval and largest tropical rainforest in the world today. Far from the hustle and bustle of cities and human industrial and commercial civilization, it was a secluded oasis of returning to simplicity.
At this moment.
Deep within the Amazon rainforest, by a deserted stream.
There lay an old coffin covered in peculiar patterns, bearing the marks of time.
Perhaps through the gaps in the leaves, the scorching sun shone on the coffin, warming it.
Then.
With a click.
The silent old coffin moved, and its lid slowly slid open...
...
