Chapter 322 A World Rampant with Bizarre Events (10)
"Go ahead and follow if you want." Wangyou had no objection; in any case, everyone could go their own way when it mattered.
The group rested there for the night and, unexpectedly, did not encounter any unexpected incidents.
The next day, everyone woke up early. Wangyou casually slapped a cleansing talisman on herself, and her whole body, including her clothes, became clean.
As soon as the sun rose, the ground temperature rose sharply, and just when the group was about to give up, they caught a glimpse of green in their peripheral vision.
"That, that's an oasis!" the fat man exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes, we should speed things up!" Liu Yong's expression wasn't good either, but seeing the oasis gave him hope.
Of all these people, Wangyou probably had the best complexion. Her breathing was steady, and apart from her slightly flushed cheeks, there was nothing else wrong with her.
There was a small river near the oasis, and the group couldn't resist burying their heads in the water.
It looks safe and quiet here, without any danger, but it's just too quiet, giving people an eerie feeling.
"Get out of the river right now, it's too quiet here, something's not right!" Wangyou said to the group.
Upon hearing what Wangyou said, the group quickly ran out of the river. After carefully observing the situation, they realized that something was indeed wrong. The place was so quiet that there wasn't even the sound of the river flowing. This was very abnormal.
Should we still go into this oasis?
"Of course we have to go. Maybe this is the gateway to the second level." Wangyou took the lead and walked in. She felt a blur before her eyes, and the scene in front of her changed.
The others followed closely behind and naturally saw that the scenery was completely different from when they came in, but when they looked back, they could no longer see the way they had come.
"Congratulations to the Dragon Kingdom player for being the first to pass the first level. You are awarded 1,000 points, and the physical fitness of the Dragon Kingdom's citizens has been enhanced." The system announcement sounded at the right time.
“Looks like we’ve really reached the second level, but this village doesn’t feel right to us!” the fat man said first.
"Everyone be careful, this place looks exactly like the scene that appears when we fight against the supernatural."
“There’s a wooden plank here. This village is called Guilai Village,” Yuanxiao said, walking to the side and taking the plank out from under the grass.
“Guilai Village reminds me of the poem ‘Return to Home’!” Wangyou joked, but everyone’s expressions turned serious.
"Everyone be careful, we still don't know how to get through this second challenge. We can't get separated. Let's go, the village doesn't look far, but we still have to go down the mountain," Shen Suifeng said with a smile.
"But which village sign is lying on the mountain? Shouldn't it be placed at the village entrance?" Tian Zhuang asked, puzzled.
"That's why it's not normal." For some reason, Wangyou felt sleepy, so she started walking down the mountain.
Seeing this, everyone quickly followed, but as they walked down the mountain, they found that the fog in the forest had become thicker, and the mountain village that had been faintly visible before could no longer be seen at all. It seemed as if the sky had darkened in an instant.
In the thick fog, everyone held hands and walked closely together so as not to fall behind. Wangyou led the way. They originally wanted to put the only girl in the group in the middle, but none of them knew how to get there, and Wangyou could not entrust her life to someone else.
"Wangyou, is there someone ahead?" While Wangyou was calculating the location, Shen Suifeng looked around to see if he could find a way, but instead saw a humanoid creature.
The thing got closer and closer, and only then did everyone see what it was: a standing weasel.
A chill ran down everyone's spines. They had probably encountered a weasel begging for a title. No matter what, they were bound to be entangled by a weasel begging for a title.
"Do I look more like a human or a god to you?" A strange, hoarse voice rang out, and those beady green eyes stared straight at Wangyou.
Wangyou didn't take a weasel with less than a hundred years of cultivation seriously, so she spoke up: "You are like an all-knowing guide who answers our questions, helps us pass the test smoothly!"
Every word of Forget-Worry seemed to carry a trace of the power of law, making it impossible for the weasel to resist. So, right under everyone's noses, the weasel underwent a magnificent transformation, turning into a 1.5-meter-tall old man with a beard that almost fell to the ground.
At this moment, the old man looked at Wangyou with particularly unfriendly eyes.
"Oh, so you're jealous of me? At least I gave you a human form, don't be so ungrateful!" Wangyou looked at the little Lai Youwo with a cold tone, and with a flick of her right hand, she drew a talisman full of killing intent. "Either you obediently become our guide, or you can die!"
"My lord, please follow me." The old man sensed the killing intent on the talisman, and at the same time, he felt the abundant spiritual energy on Wangyou's body. The weasel decisively backed down.
"let's go!"
"This...this is good, this is a weasel!"
"It's just a weasel that has only cultivated for a little over a hundred years. It's nothing to be afraid of. Don't worry, it won't dare to play any tricks. Otherwise, I'll make its entire clan pay with its life." Wangyou's tone was chilling, which startled the old man so much that he stumbled.
"A hundred years? We've only been studying metaphysics for a few years!"
"Mysticism is about talent, not years of cultivation. Let's go, I still want to know what's going on with this Guilai Village!" Wangyou led the group to catch up with the old man and asked him to tell them about Guilai Village.
"The story goes back to ninety years ago. I was young then and I planned to steal chickens from the village. However, Guilai Village only allowed dead people to be released, not live animals. So I stole the chickens that were on the offerings."
But when I was full and ready to leave, I saw the girl lying in the coffin. She was still alive, but her hands and feet were tied up and she was being buried alive with those people.
Out of curiosity, I followed her to the burial site. Unexpectedly, the girl's resentment was so strong that the coffin lid was overturned on the spot. However, the family had hired a very powerful Taoist priest, who placed the girl's body separately in a red coffin.
Then they nailed five soul-fixing nails into the girl's body in the coffin, and then nailed forty-nine soul-pacifying nails into the coffin. They also drew talismans all over the coffin.
But the girl's soul persisted, and her resentment grew stronger day by day. Until one day, the girl's cultivation broke free from the suppression of the Soul-Stabilizing Nails. On that day, the entire village was plunged into a river of blood, and no one in Guilai Village survived.
After the old man finished explaining, everyone understood the ghost's power. After all, ordinary ghosts couldn't escape the suppression of the Soul-Fixing Nails; they were lucky to survive.
“That girl’s birth chart is quite unusual!” Wangyou said with certainty.
“That’s right, she was born in a yin year, yin month, and yin hour, and she was born on the fifteenth of July!” The old man’s answer was very certain.
"So when we get to this village, should we go through the storyline or just defeat or kill this girl to complete the game?" the fat man asked nervously.
"We need to walk through her life and help her clear her mind of resentment," the old man sighed.
"That must hurt so much!" the fat man exclaimed, and the others also looked surprised.
Just hearing about it sends chills down my spine; I'd probably die if I went through it.
