Chapter 110: Ice Crystal Jade Coffin
In Panxi Town, Gu Wentian and the three of them walked on the eerie streets, at this time the streets were still as empty as in the daytime, and under the shroud of the moonlight, the town looked even more lifeless.
"Didn't the owner say that this Panxi Town is very lively at night?Why did we walk for so long and still not see anyone?" An Ruyue felt a little frightened as she walked, and couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, it's coming soon. Gu Wentian replied casually, but the pace under his feet was getting faster and faster.
Cang Wunian glanced at An Ruyue lightly, and motioned for her to stop talking, he wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in this Gu Wentian's gourd.
After a while, the three of them came to the very center of the town, and they saw a large empty square, and in the center of the square there was an altar, which seemed to be the place where the people of the town held a grand festival.
"Could it be that the people of this town are going to hold a festival tonight?" asked Cang Wunian in a low voice as he looked at the altar in the distance.
"Not bad. Gu Wentian nodded lightly, and the corners of his mouth raised a very uncomfortable smile.
As soon as the words fell, Cang Wunian was alert to some unusual movements around him, and the next moment, this square, which was clearly visible in the moonlight, suddenly came from all directions.
These people are dressed as ordinary people, men, women and children. However, on closer inspection, it is not difficult to find that these people's steps are jerky and slow, like a walking corpse that has been manipulated.
"These ...... Are they all the people of Panxi Town?" An Ruyue asked in a sneering voice.
"That's right, they're ordinary people. Gu Wentian replied calmly, but the frenzy in his eyes when he looked at the crowd did not escape the eyes of Cang Wunian.
There were more and more people in the square, and Cang Wunian noticed that each of them seemed to be walking in a pre-set direction, and their steps were very neat and uniform. After a while, these people seemed to have reached their destination and stood in their respective positions.
Cang Wunian's gaze froze slightly, the scene in front of him seemed to be someone manipulating the bodies of these people to arrange a formation, he had long been proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia, but he was not sure what the formation in front of him was used for, but he instinctively felt that this formation was definitely from the hands of a master.
Just when Cang Wunian was secretly amazed, he saw these people kneeling on the ground facing the altar, and their mouths were full of words. With their seemingly reverent chanting, a low roar began to erupt from the center of the altar, followed by something slowly rising from the bottom of the altar.
Cang Wunian and An Ruyue's faces both changed drastically, because they could soon see that the thing that had risen from the bottom of the altar to the altar was two white jade coffins with a faint cold air.
"These people, why do you worship the two coffins like this?" asked Cang Wunian in a deep voice.
"Nian'er wants to know?" Gu Wentian smiled kindly, "Go up and take a look with your father, and you will know the reason." ”
After that, I couldn't help but think about whether Cang Wunian was willing, but with a wave of Gu Wentian's robe, he and An Ruyue's bodies were swept by a strong wind, and they flew to the altar.
Gu Wentian's figure also fell on the altar after the two of them, Cang Wunian hurriedly stepped aside when he saw this, protected An Ruyue behind him, and touched his waist without a trace with one hand, ready to draw out the bone flute to fight at any time.
However, Gu Wentian seemed to be ignoring his actions, his eyes stared at the two white jade coffins in front of him stupidly, and his footsteps slowly moved towards the coffins.
"It's been a thousand years, a whole thousand years! Rui'er, I've finally figured out a way to get our children to heal. Soon, you won't have to sleep in this cold coffin anymore, and our family of three will be able to live the same free life again. Gu Wentian stroked one of the larger coffins with trembling hands, his eyes full of affection. At this moment, his expression made Cang Wunian a little distracted and moved, this man seemed to really love the "Rui'er" in his mouth.
An Ruyue, who was on the side of "Little Prince......", tugged at the corner of Cang Wunian's clothes and reminded him in a low voice that the situation of the two of them at this time was not the time for emotion and emotion.
"Nian'er, come, meet your stepmother. Gu Wentian suddenly raised his head and beckoned to Cang Wunian not far away, looking like a loving father.
Cang Wunian did not move, and said with a solemn face: "The dead are the greatest, since the stepmother has been dead for many years, why don't the stepfather let her go to the ground." ”
"Settle in the ground?" Gu Wentian laughed as if he had heard some big joke, "Hahahaha...... How could a woman who asked the heavens die so easily. For so many years, I was just waiting for an opportunity to wake her up. ”
"What does the stepfather mean is that the stepmother is still alive, and since she is alive, why is she placed in this coffin?" asked Cang Wunian with a frown.
"This is not an ordinary coffin, this is an ice crystal jade coffin made of ice crystals collected from the depths of the East China Sea and 10,000-year-old cold jade for my father's exhaustion. As long as there is still a breath left, sleeping in this jade coffin can be immortal. Gu Wentian stared at the ice crystal jade coffin with a fanatical expression, and said in a rather proud tone.
"So, is the stepfather planning to wake up the stepmother now?" Cang Wunian's face froze, and he asked in a deep voice.
"Of course. However, there is one more important thing to do before awakening her......" Gu Wentian slowly raised his head, and there was an undisguised naked plundering look in his eyes when he looked at Cang Wunian. That look was like a beast in the jungle staring at a delicious prey, as if the next moment he was going to devour Cang Wunian alive.
Cang Wunian subconsciously took a step back, his face became more solemn and gloomy: "What does the righteous father want?"
"Hahahaha......" Gu Wentian laughed loudly, the laughter was quite terrifying, "Nian'er, you have been treated well by your father for more than ten years, and now is the time for you to repay your father." ”
With that, Gu Wentian's hands were raised violently, and powerful mana ripples began to emanate from his body. The ripple centered on Gu Wentian's feet, and quickly rotated, accompanied by a dazzling bright light, and the ripple rippled towards the people kneeling on the ground under the altar with Gu Wentian's constantly changing and sealing hands.
In just a few breaths, a scene that made Cang Wunian and An Ruyue stunned happened: the formation formed by the bodies of all the people in Panxi Town emitted a strange light, and then a trace of misty smoke slowly appeared on everyone's body. If you look closely, the shape of the misty smoke corresponds to the appearance of each person in the body.
This scene touched Cang Wunian a lot, and he suddenly recalled the night he lost his soul, when the terrifying-looking soul eater beast opened its bloody mouth and pulled his three souls out of his body, and the severe pain from his soul made him finally unbearable and unconscious.
But now these people in front of them didn't seem to know what pain was, and they just knelt on the ground one by one with blank expressions, allowing the souls in their bodies to be pulled away by this formation. If their souls are taken out like this, they will surely die.
"Stop!" Cang Wunian couldn't help but shout.
"Hahahaha......" Gu Wentian laughed wildly with a distorted face, "Don't worry, this is just the beginning." These mortal fetuses of the flesh are not worth regretting at all. ”
As soon as Gu Wentian's words fell, the entire square was violently winded, sweeping and gathering the smoke wafting from the people kneeling down the altar, forming a huge white bowl in midair.
A touch of uneasiness crossed Cang Wunian's heart, and he was about to pull An Ruyue away from him, when the white bowl formed by the condensation of his soul quickly flew towards the two of them, and he immediately buckled his head, enveloping the bodies of the two of them.
"You two will rest in this soul barrier for a while, and in another hour, it will be your turn to play your role. Gu Wentian laughed, and his mood was very happy.
In the white barrier, Cang Wunian was stunned to find that the mana around him was restricted, and even his movements became sluggish. And An Ruyue, whose mana was much weaker than him, had already knelt directly on the ground, as if her strength had been drained.
"What kind of evil spell is this? It can contain all our mana. Cang Wunian looked around at his current situation with an ugly face, and I have to say that this is probably the most critical situation he has encountered in the more than seventy years he has been in this world.
Gritting his teeth, Cang Wunian pulled out the bone flute from behind him, and slammed it against the inner wall of the barrier with all his might.
With a "buzz", the seemingly transparent and illusory white barrier actually emitted a low sound like a knock on top of the essence under the knock of Cang Wunian.
"Don't do that trapped beast fight. This is a soul-attracting array that has been refined for my father for hundreds of years, if it is so easy for your hairy boy to break it, wouldn't it be in vain for my father to step into the way of heaven with one foot. Outside the barrier, looking at Cang Wunian, who was struggling hard, Gu Wentian said disdainfully.
"Gu Wentian, since the day you forced the two of us to stay fifteen years ago, I have known that you are uneasy and kind, do you really think that I have not made any preparations, so I will be arrested like this?"
"Oh?" Gu Wentian raised his eyebrows, as if he was interested, "It turns out that you knew that there would be such a day." So, let's see what you're capable of. ”
Cang Wunian frowned, in order to beware of Gu Wentian, he had indeed made a lot of preparations in the past fifteen years. It's just that he didn't expect that Gu Wentian's methods would be so clever. Now that he is trapped within this barrier, the only way to get out is to use the Soul Burning Charm.
As if sensing what Cang Wunian wanted to do, An Ruyue hurriedly said something to stop: "Little prince, don't!"
"Little prince?" Gu Wentian obviously heard An Ruyue's voice, and then he said with a sneering expression: "As the master of the Thousand Machines Pavilion, I didn't even know that my righteous son was actually a prince. ”
"Old horseman, shut up! The status of the little prince of our family is noble, how can a mortal man like you deserve to know!" An Ruyue was angry, anyway, she had already torn her face, and she was now a turtle in the urn, so it was better to be quick to speak.
"Honorable status?" Gu Wentian snorted disdainfully, "Since I saw the two of you for the first time, I knew that your origin was strange. If you tell me honestly today what the purpose of sending you to spy on me is here, maybe I can make you die a happy death!"
"What here and there, have you lived for a long time and don't know your brain? If you hadn't done something to us back then, do you think we would be willing to stay? How many things we have done for you over the years do you know in your own heart, do you really think that you have given us a great favor?" An Ruyue almost gave Qi Le, this old horseman, if he wants to do it, why bother to find some high-sounding excuses.
"Since you don't want to tell the truth, then in another hour you will see if you have the life to speak again. Gu Wunian sneered, then turned around and stared at the night sky. In another hour, it would be the time when the Tengu ate the moon, and the moment the moon completely disappeared, the soul attraction Gu that he had been preparing for many years would be able to play a role.
