Chapter 177 Three souls disappear and seven souls escape
"It's such a deep hole. I seriously doubt that the people in Gude Village have dug it underground."
Even though Shen Dinghai tried his best to lower his voice, there were still continuous echoes coming from the empty surroundings.
He shut his mouth immediately.
Who knows what's under the big black hole with Yun Xiang? Maybe the person playing the music of joy is not a human being at all!
Everyone walked along the narrow path along the edge of the stone wall, and as they walked, they felt that the downward hole was getting smaller and smaller.
When he reached the narrowest point, Shen Dinghai could touch the stone wall on the other side as long as he stretched out his hand with all his strength.
But when the three of them passed through the narrow opening, the space underneath became wider again.
Like an hourglass, Ran Ran thought silently in her heart.
It was still an asymmetrical hourglass. Its bottom was much shorter than its top. Ran Ran and the others stepped on slightly moist soil not long after they continued walking along the trail.
"It's finally over."
Shen Dinghai couldn't help sighing in a breathy voice.
The air at the bottom is cold and humid, and the fresh soil is full of active and timid crawlers.
Shen Dinghai grew up in the city and had never seen this scene before. He immediately grabbed Ranran's sleeves tightly.
【There is light over there】
Ran Ran used her eyes to signal everyone to look towards a small, low opening.
Shen Dinghai's disbelieving eyes vividly expressed what he meant.
[The hole is so small that it would be difficult for a dog to get through it! Is it really the right way? 】
Ran Ran didn't react too much. She just walked to the small hole first. She stretched out a hand and groped behind the hole repeatedly. After touching a protrusion, she gave it a squeeze.
A large stone wall next to the small cave slowly moved, making a rumbling sound.
Shen Dinghai opened his eyes wide in shock.
【Holy shit! high tech! 】
Ranran waited in front of the door for a while, and nothing happened after that. Only the candlelight on the wall of the corridor behind the door was flickering.
"A hole that I can't get through is obviously not meant for drilling."
Ran Ran spread his hands helplessly towards Shen Dinghai. Shen Dinghai looked horrified when he heard this. He put his hands in front of his mouth and whispered.
"We are already deep into the enemy's base camp. Can't we speak louder?"
Ran Ran pointed to the open stone door with some humor, "Even this loud rumbling noise didn't cause any danger, and the voices we spoke were nothing at all."
"It seems like there's no one here at all."
Shen Dinghai scratched his head naively, "I'm too nervous."
"But... we walked along the only road and didn't find any other caves. If there is no one here, where have all the people gone?"
"The main thing is where did Yun Xiang go?"
Ranran looked at the faintly bright corridor ahead and said, "Yunxiang may have left this mountain. Let's continue walking forward."
"This is the only lighted road so far, and it should lead outside."
The three of them quickened their pace and kept moving forward along the corridor. As expected, they gradually heard faint sounds of joy, among which the suona was the most obvious.
Shen Dinghai looked surprised, "I found it!"
The further forward, the clearer the sound becomes, and the corridor becomes brighter and brighter with the incoming light.
Seeing the exit right in front of him, he slowly slowed down.
It smells like blood!
Her pupils trembled and she immediately ran faster.
Outside the exit is a lush green area, and all the vegetation is growing luxuriantly, so...
The blood dripping on it will become more obvious.
It was a dazzling red color, and there was not only blood, but also big red paper money scattered on the ground, and a rickety sedan chair carried by eight people. The coachmen were also dressed in bright red, as were the joyful processions of people playing and playing.
"Yunxiang must be in the sedan!" Shen Dinghai couldn't help but shout out.
The three of them were all startled and remained vigilant all the way. They were subconsciously afraid that the team in front would discover their presence.
But what is very strange is that the team carrying the bride's wedding sedan did not stop at all, as if Shen Dinghai's voice was not heard at all.
"Can't you hear me?" Ran Ran frowned, "Second nephew, can you call me again?"
"Ah?" Shen Dinghai was stunned, and immediately shouted again according to Ran Ran's intention, louder than before.
But neither the eight people carrying the wedding sedan nor the team of musicians playing and playing showed no reaction at all.
Ran Ran exchanged glances with the two of them, and then quickly and cautiously surrounded them.
Shen Dinghai saw that he had walked behind a musician playing drums, but no one responded to the rustling sound of his steps on the grass.
【I go! Those who don’t know how to carry a sedan chair and sing joy are all deaf-mute people! 】
Even Shen Dinghai himself felt that this conjecture was outrageous. He looked back at Ran Ran, and at Ran Ran's instruction, he poked the drummer with his finger.
"I rely on!!!"
Shen Dinghai backed away as if he was electrocuted. He swung his arms wildly, as if he had just touched something disgusting.
Before Ran Ran could ask, Shen Dinghai cried out in collapse.
"This man! He's brittle!!!" He stared at the hole in the man's body that he poked with a single finger, with an expression on his face that he was about to cry.
Ran Ran's clear voice always has the power to calm people's hearts.
"Don't be afraid, second nephew, he's a paper man."
Shen Dinghai was sweating profusely, his pale lips kept trembling, and he murmured in a low voice, "I was scared when I found out it was a paper man..."
The moment Shen Dinghai met the paper man, the entire bride-to-be team stopped.
The eight people carrying the sedan stopped moving forward, and the band of musicians stopped playing.
An eerie silence spread in the air.
"Why are they... not moving..." Shen Dinghai struggled with his arms and barely managed to steady himself by holding on to the big tree.
Ran Ran's expression was serious, "I'm afraid we have disturbed the spell caster behind the paper man."
"Then what should we do now?" Wu Pannan quickly walked around to the front of the sedan, lifted the curtain, and suddenly opened his brows, "The bride is inside."
"Take Yunxiang and leave quickly." Ran Ran said and came to the front of the sedan.
The person sitting in the red wedding sedan is indeed a human being, plump and soft, not a thin paper person.
Just in case, Ran Ran reached out and lifted the red hijab.
You wouldn't know if you didn't lift it, but Wu Pannan next to him was so frightened that he took a breath of air.
I saw that the face of the pale girl in front of me was covered with dense spells, one after another, like a densely woven net, binding the girl.
"What is this on her face..."
Ran Ran's expression turned ugly, "If I admit it correctly, it's the Soul Locking Curse."
"After the curse takes effect, every six hours, the soul of the cursed person will be locked, and during these six hours, the locked soul will be consumed by the spell until it disappears completely, so the curse Wen Zai continues to hunt for other souls in the body of the cursed person."
"When eighteen hours pass, the three souls disappear and the seven souls escape, the cursed person will silently turn into a corpse."
"During this entire process, the cursed person has to endure the pain of their souls being disintegrated bit by bit, but from the outside, they look like they are asleep."
"The spell cannot be interrupted or reversed. It is a very vicious and cruel spell."
The red mark between Ran Ran's eyebrows was bright, and a light flashed in her eyes.
"This girl... only has a trace of life left at this moment. In other words, she was killed before we came to the village."
"She is now..." she said, lifting up a corner of the bride's wedding dress, "she is just a... corpse that bleeds red and warm blood."
