The villagers of Taoyuan Village who gathered around the place where A Ling disappeared all stared at Wen Xu angrily.
Hearing these words in the preface can not be said to be heartbreaking.
But what makes them even more uncomfortable is that even if they are reluctant, they have to admit that what Wen Xu said is right.
They have indeed passed away a long time ago. At this moment, they are just souls bound by the soul locking array, ghosts who rely on the soul locking array to live.
They have been trapped in the soul-locking formation for an unknown number of years. They live almost the same days day after day, sending the same people to the sedan chair month after month, and every time A Ling falls weakly from the altar.
After the fall, their lives were reset again.
The days pass by year after year, but time seems to have stood still.
No matter how many years have passed, Ah Ling is still the pretty Ah Ling, and the child is still the child who has just grown to the waist of his parents. The old man at the east end of the village still plays chess every day in high spirits.
They started in panic, comforted themselves in joy and madness, and finally fell into dullness and numbness.
If you live like this for a long time, you will get used to it, and if you get used to it, you will be happy.
But the sudden appearance of this outsider undoubtedly broke the tranquility.
Who would want to be bound here forever if they could escape from the Soul Locking Array.
They thought they had found a scapegoat, but it happened that everyone had already been led to the mountain altar, and the plan failed.
Instead, they hoped that the outsider would find a way to break the formation, but when the formation really collapsed in front of their eyes.
But they panicked.
Especially when they saw A Ling turn into a little bit of blue fluorescence and dissipate in front of their eyes, but they found that there was nothing they could do about it.
Even more panicked.
The Soul Locking Array is indeed like a cage, but when this cage collapses, not only do they not know where to go in the future, they even wonder whether they will be like A Ling and disappear.
——
In the clouds, dots of fluorescent light gathered, gathered, and finally took on the shape of a human again.
The raven tilted its head. Standing on Ziyue's shoulder, it looked at the soul in front of it with its round eyes.
This soul body is quite weak, and it is clearly difficult for her to maintain her human form.
Ziyue looked at the soul body in front of her and sighed slowly, "Since you have left the body, why come back."
The crystal soul moved forward slightly, as if it wanted to walk into Ziyue.
However, it was quite difficult for her to maintain her body shape at this moment. As soon as she moved a little, the fluorescence on her body began to scatter like foam particles.
"That's all."
Ziyue raised her hand lightly, flicked her fingertips, and a particle of fluorescent light that was the same color as A-Ling but was more solid was flicked to A-Ling's body.
Ah Ling's soul body visibly solidified again.
"get out."
"I……"
Ah Ling wanted to say something, but she just shut up cowardly.
She also knew that after she was separated from Ziyue's body, she was her and Ziyue was Ziyue. Even though they had the same origin, they were two different existences after all.
"Go where you belong."
Ziyue glanced at Ah Ling complicatedly, and then waved her hand. The thunderstorm that had gradually weakened suddenly became violent again.
——
Wen Xu only felt that the earth was shaking again. Fortunately, the wind beast carried her and hovered in mid-air, and it had a tortoise shell-like spiritual energy cover on its body, so it was not affected much.
However, the villagers of Taoyuan Village were in a panic.
Under the tremors of the earth and mountains, they staggered and pulled each other with difficulty.
There seems to be something growing wildly underground.
Sure enough, just above the collapsed ruins of the altar on the top of the mountain, as if an earth dragon was about to emerge from the ground, the rolling stones on the ruins rolled down in all directions as if they were free.
This made Wen Xu couldn't help but stand up and look at the moving ground warily.
By the pale light of lightning, Wen Xu saw a new shoot sprouting from the ruins.
This sprout was unusual when it appeared. At first, it looked like a mung bean sprout magnified ten thousand times. Then, as if pressing fast forward, it grew and sprouted very quickly.
, spreading, and soon grew into vines covering the ground.
It looks like it wants to cling to something.
However, this place is already in ruins, with scattered trees lying down and broken branches.
So this newly born alien plant only clung for a while and then lost the goal of continuing to climb upward.
Everything is like pressing the fast forward button, as if the previously stagnant time is being made up in one breath.
Visibly with the naked eye, the trees clinging to this strange plant turned into dead wood.
As for the new plant that originally looked like a vine, its branches have grown rapidly and thickly in this short period of time. Now it looks like a tree instead of a vine.
"This is..." Wen Xu remembered the information he had read at Dingda Agricultural College, "Strangulating the fig tree."
Sure enough, as soon as I heard the preface, small fruits had already condensed on the fig tree.
As the fruits gradually expanded, the fig tree also slowly emitted an orchid fluorescence.
The rain stopped at some point.
I don’t know where Lei is hiding.
The moon is out, half-quarter moon hanging in the sky, the clear moonlight is as cold as water.
"Bah, bah, bah!"
Among the mounds, two men wearing high hats suddenly appeared.
Wen Xu winced, his heartbeat skipped half a beat, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
sky.
What did she see?
It was simply stranger than seeing a ghost.
Two figures, one black and one white, holding shackles and chains in their hands, sighed as they crawled out of the mound.
"Let me tell you, why does this area always show abnormal ghost power but cannot find out its location? It turns out that someone has set up a soul-locking array here."
"It's no wonder, using Strangling Wuhua as the base of the formation, it's no wonder that my former colleagues couldn't find where the soul is hidden."
"Come on, come on, line up, don't rush, don't rush."
"Why run? There is nothing good to run for. Everyone has this experience."
The villagers of Taohua Village were so frightened that even though they had never seen these two people before, they only had the tall hats on their heads, the tools in their hands, and the distinctive black and white clothes on their bodies.
Their identities are clearly revealed through their work clothes.
"My lord, my lord, please let us go, we don't want to go to hell."
"Hey, Brother Hei, look, there is another group of new friends who are prejudiced against us." Bai Wuchang spread his hands helplessly.
Hei Wuchang had a cold face and looked at the villagers of Taohua Village expressionlessly, "Looking at you, you are already a bit old ghosts. In the past, you stayed in the human world because of the soul locking array. Now you have locked souls."
The soul array has been broken, if you force yourself to stay in this world, aren't you afraid that it will really turn into ashes?"
