#2315 - Open the coffin

Actually, there was another person who reacted strongly to this situation, and that was Kou Shanren, who had feigned death in the coffin.

Although Kou Shanren was in the coffin, he could hear what was happening outside, and his heart was filled with anxiety.

Especially when Tang Sanzang and the others were about to open the coffin, Kou Shanren almost couldn't keep up the act. If he hadn't taken the elixir and couldn't move his body, he probably would have crawled out of the coffin himself.

Now, the Kou family's servants and the government officials were engaged in a fierce battle, with the battlefield centered around the mourning hall. Even the swords and sabers had struck the coffin several times.

It is conceivable that Kou Shanren's mood must have been extremely bad, just because he couldn't speak or move.

"Damn it, why is it like this?"

At this moment, Kou Shanren regretted listening to Guanyin's words and setting up such a trap.

Now, in this trap, Tang Sanzang and the others were fine, Guanyin was also fine, only he was lying in this dark coffin, the feeling was naturally not good.

Of course, what made Kou Shanren feel uneasy was also the Kou Mansion.

This Kou Mansion was built luxuriously, but Kou Shanren spent a great deal of effort and resources on it, and it was his home.

Before, Tang Sanzang and the others had caused a great disturbance, which had already made the Kou Mansion look somewhat unsightly.

Now that it had just been rebuilt, the Kou family's servants and the government officials were engaged in a great battle again. In this battle of hundreds of people, the Kou Mansion had already been tossed around a bit.

The people can be resurrected, but the buildings of the Kou Mansion cannot recover on their own, and he needs to rebuild them himself.

Just as Kou Shanren was feeling uneasy, he heard the voice outside.

"Arrest them! Arrest all the evil servants of the Kou Mansion!"

Kou Shanren knew that the situation was not good. The Kou family's servants had been defeated, which made his heart even more uneasy.

Indeed, the battle outside had basically determined the winner. The Kou family's servants couldn't hold on, and the government officials had already begun to arrest people.

Guanyin saw that there was no hope for the Kou family's servants, and at this moment, she could only rely on herself.

She looked at the beads she was wearing on her hand. Although Guanyin had transformed into a mortal, she couldn't help but worry about her safety.

These beads were the protective items she had prepared for herself, and these beads were Buddhist beads bestowed by the Buddha Tathagata.

These Buddhist beads could not be restricted by the laws of this Dilin County, and this was Guanyin's last reliance.

If the situation had not reached such a point, she would not have wanted to use this protective item.

In a short while, the Kou family's servants were arrested by the government officials. Seeing the Kou family's servants being arrested, the old county magistrate was very proud.

"These evil servants of the Kou Mansion, first send them to prison and lock them up for a few days, and then this official will slowly interrogate them in court."

After saying that, the old county magistrate looked at Guanyin. He didn't have people arrest Guanyin.

"You woman, although you despise this official and obstruct official business, this official is also relatively generous.

For the sake of your father, Kou Shanren, I won't argue with you, but you can't interfere with this official's actions again, otherwise this official will arrest you together."

After the old county magistrate said that, he looked at Tang Sanzang and his group of four.

Hearing the old county magistrate say this, Guanyin, who was originally prepared to use the Buddhist beads to resist, seemed to have a new idea.

She stood up, bowed to the old county magistrate, and changed her previous shrew-like attitude.

"County Magistrate, I was confused for a moment just now. Now I think what the County Magistrate said is very reasonable. Opening the coffin is naturally possible.

However, the corpse in this coffin is my father's, so it must be opened by me, his daughter."

Guanyin said to the old county magistrate, which sounded reasonable.

"Yes, you may!"

The old county magistrate nodded and agreed with Guanyin's opinion.

When Tang Sanzang and the others heard Guanyin say this, and looked at the great change in Guanyin's attitude, they had already realized something.

"No, we must open the coffin ourselves."

Tang Sanzang requested to the old county magistrate.

But this time, the old county magistrate did not stand on Tang Sanzang's side, but agreed with Guanyin's opinion.

"Hmph, don't forget, you are still robbers and prisoners. This official has made an exception by letting you see Kou Shanren's corpse. You still have so many requests.

It's really unreasonable. How can this official listen to the rude requests of you robbers!"

The old county magistrate was a typical muddlehead. His position was uncertain, which made Tang Sanzang and the others feel very helpless.

"How about this, since she wants to open the coffin, then we can just watch from the side, right?"

Sun Wukong suggested at this time.

"What the monkey said is okay, you can just watch from the side."

The old county magistrate nodded and agreed with Sun Wukong's opinion.

With the help of several government officials, Guanyin opened the nails that sealed the coffin, and then began to push the coffin lid.

Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong and the others were staring closely from the side, fearing that Guanyin would do something.

As the coffin lid was slowly pushed open, Kou Shanren's corpse inside was revealed.

"He's faking death!"

Sun Wukong saw at a glance that Kou Shanren was faking death.

"Sure enough, this old thief Kou Hong is not dead."

"This old thief is actually faking death to set a trap for us."

"I want to chop him up!"

Tang Sanzang and the others also said immediately, and looked at the old county magistrate at the same time.

The old county magistrate walked over tremblingly, looked at Kou Shanren's corpse, and shook his head at Tang Sanzang and the others.

"You robbers, you are talking nonsense with your eyes open. He is obviously not breathing anymore, and his body is stiff. Is this still called not dead?

The coroner in the county government has also examined him. Kou Hong is indeed dead. You must not talk nonsense."

The old county magistrate scolded Sun Wukong and the others sternly.

"Old man, you are a mortal with ordinary eyes and naturally can't see it. This Kou Hong is indeed not dead. Although he is not breathing and his body is stiff, it is caused by taking some kind of medicine.

Your Old Sun has a way to bring him back to life. If you don't believe it, we can try it."

Sun Wukong said to the old county magistrate.

"County Magistrate, don't listen to his nonsense."

Guanyin immediately retorted, looking at the old county magistrate somewhat nervously.

However, this time the county magistrate did not stand on the same team as Guanyin, but agreed with Sun Wukong's words.

"This official also wants to see what method you have to revive the dead. Tell me, what are you going to do?"

This old county magistrate helps this side for a while and that side for a while. He is completely an uncontrollable variable. Tang Sanzang and the others are helpless, and Guanyin is even more helpless.

In fact, whether it is Tang Sanzang and the others or Guanyin, they all have an urge to kick this muddlehead to death, but in the current situation, he still has to make the decision.
