Chapter 178 Need to pay a price?
Shen Dinghai's face turned pale, "Does this mean Yunxiang can't be saved? We..."
"Late?"
Ranran didn't answer for a while.
Wu Pannan couldn't help but put his finger to the tip of Yunxiang's nose, "She is obviously still breathing, how can she be hopeless?"
She looked at Ran Ran with unbearable eyes.
Ran Ran sighed, "I just said that there is only a trace of living soul left in her body. The existence of the living soul allows her to breathe like a living person and even bleed warm blood."
Ran Ran stared at the red stain on her fingertips, "But she had already collapsed inside."
"A person with only one soul left is like a walking zombie, which is not much different from real death."
"It can be said that from the moment the Soul Locking Curse took effect, Yunxiang was gone."
Shen Dinghai's eyes turned red, "But should we just do nothing and wait for Yunxiang to die completely?"
"Soul-locking curse...Soul-locking curse."
Shen Dinghai kept chanting, and his body was shaking more and more violently, "How is it different from the soul arresting punishment that Qin Yan mentioned before?"
"Also! Where did the locked soul go after it disappeared from Yunxiang's body?"
Ran Ran pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Second nephew! You are simply a genius!"
"The locked soul naturally dissipates and turns into dust invisible to people in the world and flows to the underworld. The principle is the same!"
Shen Dinghai's eyes turned slightly red with excitement, "Does this mean that soul arresting torture can save Yunxiang?!"
Ran Ran was not completely sure, "Theoretically it should be possible, but..."
"Just what?"
There was regret in Ranran's bright eyes, "We don't have time..."
She put her hand on Yunxiang's forehead and felt it carefully, "Judging from the state of the living soul in Yunxiang's body, there are not six hours."
"Three hours at most." Ranran looked at the sun that was constantly emitting bright light on the horizon.
"When the sun sets in the west, Yun Xiang..."
Wu Pannan held his breath, "That means it's almost dusk?"
Ranran nodded, "We can only use the minimum time to estimate, so it is before sunset."
Shen Dinghai gritted his teeth and said, "That old village chief has planned it all! The auspicious time to get married is at dusk. He is planning to take the dead Yunxiang with his son after the ceremony and worship. Send it to the coffin!"
Ran Ran couldn't bear to take back her palm, "How can we get to Miaomen and convince the other party to help Yun Xiang in less than six hours?" The warmth of Yun Xiang's skin still remained in her palm.
It's lukewarm.
Shen Dinghai seemed to have lost his soul, "Can we just give up like this... Yunxiang's family is obviously still waiting for her..."
Ran Ran didn't answer immediately, she just said to carry Yunxiang away first.
Shen Dinghai was stunned when he was about to take action, "Carry away? Cousin, do you mean Yunxiang can still be saved?!"
At the end of his speech, his eyes seemed to be lit up by light.
"I..." Ran Ran subconsciously looked away, "I'm not sure..."
"What do you mean not sure?"
Ran Ran's tone was unusually hesitant, "Because... I don't know if I can achieve the level of soul-detention torture. I'm not sure... and..."
"What's more, little girl, tell me quickly!" Wu Pannan's tone was a bit off-kilter.
Ran Ran glanced at her and shouted as if she was giving up on herself, "I'm not sure how much it will cost."
Shen Dinghai already felt something was wrong in his heart, "The price? What price?" Ran Ran smiled bitterly, "No matter how small the Miaomen organization is, it must have gathered the power of many warlocks to be able to perform such a punishment that violates the rules of heaven. thing."
"Four seasons pass, birth, old age, sickness and death are the eternal laws. If you want to break it, you will naturally have to pay a price."
Shen Dinghai's heart was high after hearing this. He grabbed Ran Ran's hand and said, "What if..."
"I mean, if, cousin, you really save Yunxiang, what will happen to you..."
Ran Ran looked at his eyes that were in desperate need of answers, and couldn't help but close her eyes, "The best and best result consumes all my spiritual energy."
Shen Dinghai's pupils trembled when he heard this, "Is this the best result? What would you do if you don't have spiritual power? You said before that the environment under the mountain has thin spiritual energy..."
Ran Ran twitched the corner of her mouth and forced a smile, "Without spiritual power, there is no spiritual power. At least I won't be seriously injured and fall into a coma. Second nephew, you don't have to worry about me like before."
Shen Dinghai wanted to say something more, but Ran Ran touched him gently with her cold fingers.
"This is a human life and I can't turn a blind eye."
Ran Ran took Shen Dinghai's hand and asked him to look at Yun Xiang, who was sitting in the wedding sedan with a pale face.
"You, my second nephew, can't do it either."
"If you really succeeded in persuading me today and refused to save Yunxiang in order to save the three of us, you will definitely be riddled with regret in the future."
Shen Dinghai was very excited, "Don't I regret letting you take the risk?!"
After a pause, he said, "No matter what we choose, we will always regret it. The choice we can make is to choose the lesser of two evils and choose which regret we want to be haunted by."
Ran Ran took Shen Dinghai's hand and exerted a slight force.
"Let's help Yunxiang today. At least you can see me when you feel regretful in the future, so that you won't be completely overwhelmed by regret and become almost desperate."
"And when Yunxiang dies, she really dies."
After Ran Ran finished speaking, Shen Dinghai was completely stunned.
It's rare to see such an expression on that cheerful face. No one knows what he is thinking.
When Wang Hei and others rushed to the woods, the red wedding sedan was already empty.
The paper figures in red outfits had eye-catching red blush on their faces. They were supposed to be in extremely festive outfits, but because they all maintained weird postures and fell into stillness at the same time, they looked very scary.
Some people couldn't help but swallow their saliva, "This thing Master Ruan made is really scary! Her face is pale and her mouth is red, and it makes me scared just to look at it. How can a girl like her get all these things?"
"This has nothing to do with Master Ruan. Isn't it the village chief's request?"
Wang Hei looked gloomy and slapped them both on the head, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand anything! This is a ghost marriage ceremony."
"Of course, a bride who marries a dead person cannot be carried by a living person. The living person's yang energy is too strong. The village chief is afraid of hurting Mingguang, understand?!"
"You two have never been married, you just open your mouth and grin!"
The two of them smiled flatteringly, "Look what Brother Hei said, aren't ghost marriages for dead people? We are both living well, so why do we need to get married!"
Wang Hei sneered, "You may not be able to marry a living person in this life!"
The two of them couldn't help but change their faces slightly as they thought about the situation in the village where there were more men than women, but they still said good things.
"The village chief has made a lot of efforts to find wives for all the men in the village. He is even willing to go to far away places to find someone to bring back, of course!"
"The contribution of our black brother is indispensable for this!"
When they thought that Wang Hei was just an outsider who had only been in the village for less than a year, the two of them couldn't help but feel sad.
Many men in the village who are older than Wang Hei don't have wives yet!
One person's eyes couldn't help but roll, "There's something I've always wanted to ask our Hei brother."
Wang Hei looked away from the blood-stained wedding sedan, glanced at him sideways, and spoke calmly.
"Let the fart go."
The man rubbed his hands and said, "What is the relationship between you and Master Ruan...?"
