It belongs to the unique cold rhyme of metal, and the feeling from the finger tip is clear, Zhu Beichen still feels the age of the silver nail, the diameter of the nail itself is only one centimeter, but the nail body is about thirty centimeters long, which can easily penetrate the human muscles and bones.

Silver nails are extremely flexible, twisting and deforming at the slightest touch of the hand, and the surface of the nails is extremely smooth, with no signs of oxidation over the years. The silver nail seems to have applied a special talisman seal, and it contains great power, even if it is not a threat to Zhu Beichen, the inexplicable majestic power in the nail's body can rush into his mind, and it seems to be rooted in his soul.

"Ah~~" My head hurts, it hurts. His hand twitched, and he was about to withdraw with a shudder.

"Bear with me, okay? Just go through it and pull out the soul nails that bind us, and that's it. Inevitably, Zhu Beichen became suspicious, because the woman in the shadows knew the boy's temperament, and no one would easily believe her words, so she had to dispel Zhu Beichen's doubts, "I promised you, you saved us, and you are our benefactor." Although we have killed many people after death, we also know how to be grateful and remember. As soon as the soul nail is removed, I will disappear and will no longer bother you. ”

Zhu Beichen still couldn't identify the other party's location when he heard the voice, the voice of the female corpse was as melodious as a silver bell, and the cold tone was always full of sincere emotions, his impression of the figure in the shadows had changed greatly, and he trusted her from the bottom of his heart.

Holding the slender silver nail with one hand, he made up his mind to pull it out, but I don't know if it was because the soul nail was too deeply embedded, or because he hadn't eaten for a long time, he couldn't pull it out.

Zhu Beichen had no choice but to shine a flashlight on the soul nail up and down, hoping to understand the way the soul nail was entered, because from the witchcraft records he studied, it can be known that each special-purpose nail is driven into the recipient's body by a special method. The props of soul detention are the most mysterious, and the records handed down from historical sources are obscure.

"How is this soul nail made, and what liquid has you soaked in?" It is an indisputable fact that the soul nail is engraved with a charm, and Zhu Beichen saw the golden text carved by the ingenious process on the nail. Now he is extremely tired of this style, and the golden text always carries scenes of evil witchcraft in the barbaric era.

"No, I know." The sound source seems to be coming from all directions, and it can be heard from the voice that the female corpse is telling the truth, and with Zhu Beichen's mind thinking a little, you can understand that they have been raised in a vessel since childhood, where have they experienced the complex deception of human society.

People who are between life and death, between the edge of yin and yang. The female corpse whispered, "If the soul nail is touched, the soul will be lost, and if the soul body is touched, the soul will be scattered." ”

One sentence cleverly explains the role and viciousness of soul nails, if it is a big living person, let alone pull out these nails, just touching it will kill the soul.

Zhu Beichen was slightly annoyed: "Why didn't you tell me before?" As a high-IQ college student, he was calculated by a female corpse that had been dead for thousands of years, which made him a little embarrassed.

Yan said: "Wandering between life and death, you are not a living person, and you are not afraid of losing your soul. You are not the dead, so you are not afraid of the soul being scattered. You are the best person to remove the Soul Spike. Now, do you know why the dream of heaven and desire can't be broken even if you know how to crack it? ”

There are countless lives in the cave who died in the Heavenly Desire Smoke Dream Formation, among which there are many famous masters of the formation from ancient times to the present, and even more people who are proficient in this way have seen the origin of the formation, and also understand the essence of breaking the formation, but they are still buried here.

Zhu Beichen's expression remained unchanged, and he sympathized with the female corpse from the bottom of his heart, although they were not masked with each other, they pinched their fingers, the index finger and middle finger between the right fingers remained straight, and the other three fingers contracted. This method was taken from the Yin Fu Sutra Breaking Technique, which may be ineffective, but it was the only formation breaking gesture he could remember now, with the rumored soul-snatching soul nail between his fingers.

His consciousness was already dim, and the thunder exploded violently, similar to the transmission of an electric shock, and a buzzing sound burst in his ears. When he opened his eyes again, Zhu Beichen already had an extra soul nail in his hand, and the silver light was dimly covered with a dense black halo.

In this way, the sixteen soul nails on the skeleton were removed one by one, until the last soul nail opened, and a cool wind blew from the corner of the cave, and the wind penetrated the cold body and penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

The voice of the mourner was a little weaker, and it seemed that it was not in the same state as it was a quarter of an hour ago, although the timbre was the same: "The anger has subsided, the wind is overcast, and there is no need to be afraid." ”

Well, Zhu Beichen wiped a cold sweat, walked to another coffin, drew a gourd to open the coffin, took out the soul nail, and everything went very smoothly.

At this time, the mourner had not spoken for a long time, and every time the soul nail in the coffin was removed, the mourner's life was overdrawn in a limited way, and the voice became more and more distant and helpless. Is the truth really as she said, the soul is nailed and the smoke is gone? Why is it that at this time, I am faintly reluctant to give up this girl?

Zhu Beichen lowered his voice and said quietly: "Isn't it... When the soul nails are pulled out, you will disappear? ”

There was no response for a long time, and the female corpse fell into silence and deep thought, and endless years were spent in a gloom, she was already a person who had experienced death, and death was painful and silent for herself. In the dark, her smile was a little poignant and a little decisive.

"The last soul nail symbolizes my soul after death, and when you pull out the last one, I will dissipate forever in the world and be liberated forever." The voice was very soft, very light, the reaction of the female corpse was very light and light, death was unacceptable to ordinary people, it was a kind of attachment to life. And for her, it's just a quiet relief, because there is nothing to love in life.

"Thank you." This was probably the last time the female corpse spoke, and her voice was steady and desperate.

After Zhu Beichen listened, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the abyss, gritted his teeth and remained silent, and continued to open the next coffin. With the experience of the first two times, when I opened the third coffin, I already seemed to be extremely skillful, and even my mood was much calmer.

Half an hour passed, the light of the flashlight went out, and his hand stayed in the fifth coffin, the last moment of the soul nail. Pulling out the soul nail represents the cracking of the Heavenly Desire Smoke Dream Array, and it also means that the death is about to dissipate in this painful world.

"Can you tell me, your name?" Zhu Beichen paused, his hand had stopped on the soul nail, he completely trusted the female corpse who saw the figure in the cave, and trusted the beautiful voice, she must have been a demure and gentle woman before her death.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just...... I just want to know what your name is, you said you would disappear, I think the people who have helped me in my life, even every passer-by will cherish it, I hope to remember " His eyes were shy, and Zhu Beichen waited for the reply from the other end.

In the darkness, the four walls refracted and echoed with the same word. The name of the female corpse is 殇, "Don't ask me why, I only know that the wizard named me Yan back then." A name was a name for herself, a code name, but she felt she should have a name, no matter what it meant.

And Zhu Beichen understood, and he didn't think to ask her about the origin of the word mourning, because he knew. The original meaning of mourning refers to a life that passes away before reaching adulthood.

"The ghost of the ownerless is the death." This is a famous sentence in "Xiao Erya", Zhu Beichen doesn't like this sentence very much, and the sentence now refers to mourning.

The last soul was nailed, and the cave suddenly roared and roared high-pitched, intensifying, and the ownerless wind piercing the walls and gravel was announcing the death of the dead in a unique way.

Finally, the cave calmed down, and there was a bright light in front of Zhu Beichen's eyes. Han Qingxin shone a flashlight in his hand and looked at him in surprise, "Why are you standing there?" ”

Is there something wrong? Zhu Beichen was still immersed in inexplicable grief, so he didn't notice the surrounding environment.

The fat man stood beside Han Qingxin and maintained a standing posture, his face was pale, "It should be Gu Loulan's altar, and the four coffins are the four coffins of the main array of Heavenly Desire Dream, it seems that the entire large array has been broken." Looking at Zhu Beichen with unbelievable eyes, the fat man is actually a very shrewd person in his heart, good at figuring out a person's thoughts through details.

Zhu Beichen stood on the altar at the base of the wall, and there were four empty coffins on the altar, and there was fine powder left in the coffins. What surprised the three of them was where there was an altar in the scene they had seen before.

"I see, as soon as we entered here, we fell into the illusion array, so everything is illusory." The fat man shuddered in his heart, what a real illusion, if he continued to fight with the female corpse in the illusion, whether he won or lost, his side would be defeated, and he would be buried here like the dry bones in this place, quietly waiting for the next wave of people.

The only thing I can't figure out is that this was originally an unsolvable formation, why did it disappear silently? The fat man stared at Zhu Beichen on the altar suspiciously, and he wanted to speak several times, and the boy who seemed to know nothing was actually hidden deeper than anyone else.

Zhu Beichen flickered his eyes and wandered, "Forget it, I guess the heavenly desire and smoke dream you said are gone, we should continue on the road." ”

"Wait, Beichen, have you studied Taoism, or witchcraft?" The fat man still spoke, and the more curious he was about Zhu Beichen, the more he wanted to find out.

"Fatty, I know what you suspect, I also walked here randomly, and I don't know what happened." You must not tell the truth to this fat man, Zhu Beichen still remembers Han Qingxin's confession, she smelled the smell of dead man's carrion in the fat man's mouth, and the fat man probably lived by eating carrion until now.

In a strong state of survival, people can do anything that violates common sense and morality in order to survive. In the ancient times of famine, the event of cannibalism between people was real, so Zhu Beichen could understand the behavior of the fat man, but to have such a mentality is enough to show that the fat man is not simple.
