51. Tie the soul bell
The soul bell is the weapon that makes Tang Songluo confident enough to lead these people through Death Valley safely.
Ah Zhan looked at the little bell in his hand, and it didn't seem to be any different. It even looks so rough that it's not even a work of art.
But in this little bell, there is indeed an indescribable power of the sea.
The origin of the Soul Bell is related to pirates and caravanserais.
These vessels, which are active at sea all year round, often face some natural disasters. The wrath of the sea is the least predictable, and in the early years, it was not uncommon for ships to go missing at sea.
Later, some adults invented this kind of thing.
They used rare sea copper ore to create this unsightly bell, and tied it with a red thread.
Sea copper and red thread are the easiest things in the world to attach energy.
Adults attach themselves to this energy with miraculous power and form a contract. And whoever signs a pact in every thing binds his soul to this string of bells.
On the other hand, people who have a soul bell can perceive each other's existence in a certain area.
Not to be lost, the close connection is exactly the original intention of the soul bell.
"This is our family's masterpiece. Duranque introduced with great energy.
"That's right, the soul bell was invented by the ancestors of the Duranque family. I asked him to build these things during the day. Tang Songluo said.
"And with the miracle power of the boss, it is enough to form a powerful contract. Durang added.
I see.
Ah Zhan suddenly.
In this way, Wu Yan's safety is more guaranteed.
After dividing the soul bell, the group officially embarked on the journey.
Before leaving, Ah Zhan glanced at the first gate of the ninety-nine, the tall gate, and gradually disappeared into the night.
Death Valley at night is filled with the smell of death.
The manic wind kept blowing, mixed with some gravel, and it felt hard to hurt when it hit my face.
Despite wearing the mask, Ah Zhan still felt that even the eyes were exposed was superfluous.
Ah Zhan couldn't open her eyes because of the strong wind, and in the darkness she held Wu Yan's hand and walked all the way.
Tang Songluo held the scorching fire in front of him, and in the endless darkness, he was like a lighthouse symbolizing safety and warmth.
Everyone has a soul bell tied to their ankles.
As his footsteps moved, the sound of the bell could be mixed with the huge sound of the wind and reach Ah Zhan's ears very clearly.
The ringing was crisp and delicate, making Ah Zhan feel safe.
Perhaps because the wind was too strong, all the people along the way were silent, and in this terrible silence, Ah Zhan could only rely on counting to maintain his spirits.
The night road is always too difficult to walk.
Ah Zhan looked at the people in front of him carefully, starting with Tang Song Luo and counting them one by one.
One, two, three, four......
Ah Zhan looked back again, and because the light was too dim, she could not see the shape of the person clearly, and she could only see how many people were there by the light reflected in her eyes.
Five...... Six...... Heptad......
At this moment, Ah Zhan saw a pair of twinkling eyes.
These eyes were strange and familiar, shining in the darkness with a light that was different from others.
Amber eyes.
Ah Zhan's heart was suddenly shocked, which made her hand holding Wu Yan subconsciously let go.
However, in the blink of an eye, those eyes were gone.
In the dark wilderness, only the crisp sound of a bell echoes in my ears.
I read it wrong.
Thinking so, Ah Zhan sighed softly.
She took Wu Yan's hand again, but found that Wu Yan's hand was much colder than just now.
That's how it was all night.
It was difficult to move forward all the way, and there were no accidents because of Tang Songluo's guidance. After passing through a few doors, Ah Zhan saw that the distant horizon finally turned white.
The torch in Tang Songluo's hand was lit to the end, and he inserted the burned torch into the sand next to the stone door in front of him, and then turned to Ah Zhan and the others and said, "Okay, let's rest here." ”
It's finally over.
Aaron let out a long sigh of relief.
Traveling at night is too tiring than during the day, and I can't find the direction at all, I can't see the road clearly, I don't know where my destination is, and I don't know how long I've been walking.
Ah Zhan looked up and saw that there was a quaint "three" written on the door, so this should be the third door.
Just as Ah Zhan was thinking this, she felt that the hands she was holding in her hands suddenly broke free of her.
This is how Ah Zhan led Wu Yan over this night, she was too afraid that she would suddenly disappear in this night, so only now did she realize that her palms had already been drenched in sweat, and her fingers were sore.
"Ayan, I'm so tired. Ah Zhan complained, and turned to look at Wu Yan wearing a veil.
However, in front of everyone's eyes, Ah Zhan saw that the woman who took off the veil was not Wu Yan, but Yun!
"Why are you?!" In the warm morning light, Ah Zhan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her shrill voice immediately attracted the attention of the people around her.
"Who am I or not?" Yun raised his eyebrows disapprerovingly, as if he was disdainful of Ah Zhan's question. "You dragged me all night, and you still don't know who I am?"
Ah Zhan didn't have time to worry about her, she pulled the clouds, and almost used all her strength.
"Where's Wu Yan?!" asked Ah Yan.
"Wu Yan?" Yun Yun looked at Ah Zhan inexplicably. "Who?"
"What's wrong?" Tang Songluo walked over.
"Ah Tang, this woman is crazy. Yun withdrew his hand in disgust and stood behind Tang Songluo.
"Ah Tang......" Ah Zhan was almost crying. "Wu Yan is gone!
Looking at the excited Ah Zhan, Tang Songluo felt that he should be comforted. But after hesitating for a moment, Tang Songluo still asked, "Who is Wu Yan?"
Looking at Tang Songluo's slightly frowning appearance, Ah Zhan's tears finally dripped down his cheeks.
At this moment, she was desperate.
This is the power of the Death Enchantment, and there is no way to disobey it?
Tang Songluo's face gradually became gloomy, and after he muttered for a while, he still gently arranged for everyone to rest, but took Ah Zhan aside alone.
"You mean, some of us are missing, aren't you?" Tang Songluo seemed to be thinking about something.
"Ayan is gone......" Ah Yan's eyes were red. "I promised to protect her, but she's gone......"
Tang Songluo didn't care about Ah Zhan's sadness, he frowned slightly and thought for a while, but said to Ah Zhan: "Forget it, Ah Zhan." ”
"What?!" Ahn was almost stunned.
"I said you forgot about her. Tang Songluo said. "It's like she's never been there. ”
Ah Zhan looked at Tang Song Luo.
She never expected Tang Songluo to say such a thing to her.
And on the contrary to her, in the endless desert, a pair of amber eyes with a smile.
