Chapter 233: Shock
"I don't know, but it sounds like there's some big ceremony going on this island?" Qingci replied with a frown.
Wan Qian couldn't help but shudder, "Could it be because they didn't catch me before, so now they are gathering to discuss how to deal with us?"
"It's a real possibility. Qing Ci looked at her and said matter-of-factly.
"Won't you...... So what should we do now?" An Ruyue subconsciously tightened the corner of Qing Ci's clothes and asked a little helplessly.
Qing Ci sighed and took her into his arms, "Escaping doesn't seem to be working, why don't we take the initiative and see what they have planned." β
Cang Wunian and Ji Zi'an glanced at each other, and then looked at Qing Ci together, and soon they reached a consensus, nodded, and agreed with Qing Ci's proposal.
The seven of them cautiously walked through the forest in the direction from which the sound came, and finally, as expected, they came to the vicinity of the open flat land.
Using the trees as cover, the flat land they saw at this time was no longer the empty appearance before, but a large group of strange resentful spirits sitting around the flat ground, and those strange scratches on the ground emitted a faint fire from time to time.
On the other side of the mountain wall, there was a monster with a human head and a beast body, and a drumstick was beating a drum placed on a wooden stand, and next to him there was a short and fat monster that looked like a pig and a cow was holding a horn and "whining" to the rhythm of the drum.
"They're really doing a ceremony...... I can't imagine that there are so many resentful spirits on this island, it's terrifying......" An Ruyue muttered in a low voice.
"Some of them are not pure resentful spirits, they are probably flesh bodies that have been taken away by resentful spirits, but they have not been fused well, so they have become strange. Qing Ci explained in a low voice.
"Wan Qi Domain Lord, do you know how long this sea area has been sealed?" Cang Wunian suddenly asked.
Wan Qian frowned and shook his head, "I don't know exactly how long it will be, but it's hundreds of years." β
"Why did the Pavilion Master suddenly ask about this?" Qing Ci asked in a low voice.
Cang Wunian shook his head with a solemn face, "I don't know, I just suddenly felt that something flashed in my mind, but I can't remember it now." β
"You see, the vines on the stone wall are moving. Ji Zi'an said suddenly.
Everyone subconsciously looked towards the stone wall, and sure enough, they saw that the vines on the surface of the stone wall were slowly moving to both sides, and within a moment, a cave appeared in their sight.
"It turns out that there really is a cave behind this vine. Painting Allure said softly.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a strange thing slowly coming out of the cave. The thing was about eight feet tall, and its whole body was black, like a chaotic black mist, and the only thing that could tell the specific form was the face of this thingβit was the face of a child who looked about three or four years old.
"Oh my God...... What kind of freak is this? Why does it have the face of a little boy?" Wan Qian let out an exclamation.
"There is such a face, which shows that the soul of this child was also forcibly pulled out of the body by people with evil arts, and I don't know who lost his conscience so much, even such a young child did not let go. Qing Ci's face was already very ugly.
"Do you think this face is a little familiar?" Cang Wunian said in a deep voice as he stared intently at the face on the black mist.
"Familiar? I don't think so, it's not like when you were a kid anyway. An Ruyue said subconsciously.
Hearing this, Wan Qian scarlet glanced back and forth at An Ruyue and Cang Wunian's bodies with a strange gaze, and asked in a low voice, "What does Elder Ruyue mean by this......?"
Qing Ci glanced at An Ruyue speechlessly, and then took over and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense, our Elder Ruyue can't help but compare it with the Pavilion Master when he was a child every time he sees a cute child." Of course, in the end, it came to the conclusion that all the children were not as good-looking as the pavilion master. β
was interrupted by Qing Ci like this, Wan Qian Scarlet was suddenly brought in by his words, she subconsciously looked at Cang Wunian's face, except for using perfection to describe it, she really couldn't find a more suitable word. I don't know how many years of virtue he has accumulated, and he can be born with such a good skin, even the teaching woman can't help but be jealous.
"The pavilion master was born so handsome and dusty, there is no one in this world to compare. Wan Qi's face flushed slightly, and her voice was a little coquettish.
An Ruyue pursed her lips and rolled her eyes secretly, secretly thinking that the face of her little prince was indeed born to bring disaster to the country and the people, and it was too easy to attract bees and butterflies.
"I also think that child's face looks familiar, have you seen it somewhere?" Hua Allure didn't notice what the guys next to her were saying, because as soon as the black mist with the boy's face came out of the cave, her attention was focused on that face.
Before the others could speak, the boy opened his mouth, and his voice was childish: "Bring that woman up." β
"Woman?" the seven people were shocked when they heard this, and looked at each other. In this strange place, are there still people from the outside world who have broken in?
"Woo-" The horn was blown again, this time with a long aftersound, and with the sound of the drum beating "Dong Dong", the vines on the mountain wall changed again.
I saw the vines writhing rapidly, climbing to a depression high in the stone wall. With a "bang", several of the thickest rattans were wrapped around something that resembled a coffin, and then slowly lowered the "coffin" from the depression to the ground.
Several resentful spirits, dressed as women but with extremely ugly faces, stepped forward to open the lid of the coffin, and then erected the entire coffin.
When the coffin was erected, and the seven men saw what was inside the coffin, they were all astonished, for as the boy had said, it was indeed a woman, and it was a living person with breath.
Of course, what shocked the four of them, including Hua Allure, Cang Wunian, Qing Ci and An Ruyue, was far more than that. The woman in the coffin was dressed in a dark blue power suit, and her figure seemed to be thinner than before, and even if the four of them wanted to break their heads, it was absolutely impossible to imagine that this woman would appear in such a place, and in this way.
"Qiao Sanniang?"
"Sister Joe?"
"Miss Joe?"
The four of them spoke in unison and subconsciously exclaimed.
Xu was louder, and the group of resentful spirits and monsters keenly turned their eyes on the woods where they were hiding.
Several people hurriedly held their breath and didn't dare to move, so many resentful souls, if they hit hard, it would be a disaster.
Maybe they have to be glad that they have encountered resentful spirits, these souls or spirits from various races have been eroded and influenced by each other for many years, and it is obvious that their intelligence is not very high, so when they found the woods and there was no movement, they did not pay attention to this place anymore.
"Do you know the woman in the coffin?" asked Ji Zi'an in a low voice.
"Yes, she's our friend. An Ruyue replied.
"But if I'm not mistaken, this Qiao Sanniang is obviously just an ordinary mortal, she has no mana at all, why did she appear in this place?" Qing Ci asked very puzzled.
"That's what shocked us. "The painting is full of willow eyebrows, and I can't figure out what is wrong with this.
"It's not time to find out why she's here, it's imperative to get her out. An Ruyue sighed and said worriedly.
"I remembered. Ji Wuxin, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke.
However, Ji Wuxin's words were very abrupt, and several people didn't react for a while, and looked at her confusedly: "What do you remember?"
Ji Wuxin's eyes stared at the little boy's face, and said word by word: "I remember who that little boy's face is." β
Cang Wunian's face sank, "Who is it?"
"Gu Wentian's son, Gu Yifan. Ji Wuxin said with certainty.
When Ji Wuxin said this, several people subconsciously looked at the resentful soul with black gas around them again, and sure enough, they remembered that the face was the face of the little boy they saw in the ice crystal jade coffin.
"So...... Where is half of that child's soul?" muttered the painter.
"I really didn't expect Gu Wentian to give birth to a child with such a powerful soul. Ji Zi'an sighed.
"Yes, a three-year-old child, half a wisp of soul can forcibly devour the will of other souls, so that they are dominated by him. If this child had been alive and well, he would have been a giant by now. Qing Ci also sighed.
"What do we care so much about this kid, he is a Gu Wentian seed, if we really save him, God knows if he will become the second Gu Wentian in the future?" An Ruyue said very dissatisfied.
"It's easy to say, although this child's will can dominate the resentful soul after fusion, but in fact, this half of the living soul has already been eroded by various resentments, and if you really want to save it, I'm afraid you still can't wake him up. Even if he is awakened, it will be difficult to bring him to the right path. Cang Wunian shook his head and sighed.
A few people were talking, but they saw that the resentful soul with Gu Yifan's face slowly approached the coffin, and stopped less than a foot away from Qiao Sanniang.
He ...... What does he want to do to Sister Qiao?" Seeing this scene, Hua Chengcheng was so worried that his breathing almost stopped.
Everyone's faces froze, and they all entered a state of readiness, if this resentful soul dared to take a step closer to Qiao Sanniang, they would be ready to give these monsters a fight.
To everyone's relief, the resentful spirit did not get close to the coffin again, but kept the distance and moved left and right, and they could clearly see that Gu Yifan's face showed a look of innocence and attachment unique to ordinary children.
