As time goes by, the villagers of the village are getting older.

The flesh and blood of their bodies were as if they had been dried, cracking and falling off, and they could hear screams in the village every day, and when they got up, they saw the people closest to them lying next to them, turned into monsters, including themselves!

The old man, it seems, is just the beginning of the curse, spreading throughout the village at an unexpected speed.

Everyone is going crazy, their flesh is completely falling off and turning into bones.

They couldn't accept that they had become like this, and began to try to end their lives in various ways.

However, even if the bones are dismantled into pieces one after another, these bones seem to have residual consciousness, and even if they are beaten into powder, they will still move!

Move with your consciousness!

Moreover......

Accompanied by unimaginable pain!

The bones were ground up, each piece carrying a cracked consciousness, like countless swords passing through the brain, dividing the brain into countless pieces, but it was not dead, and the nerves still felt heart-piercing pain.

If you don't fight it back, then you will have to endure the pain of soul consciousness, as if it was stuffed into a blender, and it will be constantly broken!

The more villagers try this method, the more bones there will be, scattered around.

In the end, they all failed, unable to die and suffering terrible at the same time, so they could only try to put it back together.

But those bones, which could no longer be put back into human form, turned into monsters with animal bones and stitching monsters.

The wounds that their souls have suffered are like wounds that cannot be healed, and once they move the strangely shaped bones on their bodies, there will be a pain like the soul shattering, and every step of action is an ordeal.

This hellish scene hit the hearts of all the villagers, and many of them went crazy and crashed out like headless flies.

The moment you leave the Skeleton Village......

With a click, the bones immediately fell apart.

It looks as if the success is over......

But some villagers have witnessed the truth - even if the bones are broken, the skull will still remain intact.

Although the body could not move, the skeleton could still make sounds, muttering dream-like words in the old idioms of the living, indicating that consciousness was not completely dead!

All the villagers were terrified.

They realize that leaving the village is not the way to end the curse, but rather to fall into an even more terrible curse.

But then more villagers couldn't help but go crazy, lost their sober and rational consciousness, and walked out in a daze, into the sea of dead remains, and with a snap, their whole bodies shattered, and they became part of it.

To stop all this......

The villagers of Skeleton Village, accustomed to the movement of the white bones, built a thick wall around the village.

They are not there to keep outsiders out, but to prevent themselves from going out.

However, this is only the beginning of a three-hundred-year-long curse.

…………

For a moment, Chen Ye seemed to see the shadow of Linjiang City after falling into a bloody countdown from the residents of Shengji Village.

The power of the will is very strong, even if it is weak, but the instinct of living beings often bursts out with unexpected energy in times of despair.

Death is not allowed.

The villagers had gradually become accustomed to the movement of the bones, and they had become numb to the pain that pierced their hearts.

Among them, the old man Erhu is the most painful, and he regrets it very much.

I regret that I shouldn't have made a deal with the devil and caused the villagers to end up like this.

Instead, the villagers began to comfort them, saying that if it weren't for the wine, they would have lost consciousness and would have no hope.

Maybe...... will be more painful......

Time has healed the wounds of the long years.

Although he no longer has the organ to speak, the old man finds that he can still play the erhu.

But the suona, as well as the figure of the young man, are gone.

The old man of the erhu plays the erhu, and the melodious music is like a horse galloping on the free and vast grassland, making people forget the troubles of the world and the pain on their bodies.

Gradually, the villagers found that music stabilized their mood, and although they did not make them happy, they at least restrained their madness.

The village of living bones seems to have been transformed into a village of music.

Each villager skillfully extracts raw materials from the former wooden houses and makes orchestral instruments.

Through music and dance, this is used to relieve that despair.

Over the years, the villagers have become more and more accomplished in their musical understanding, and they are even able to communicate through musical instruments that mimic the tones of their previous speech.

In a new way, the village of the wreckage is gradually beginning to stabilize.

But they are still trying to find a way to break the curse.

Lifting the curse has become the motivation and hope for them to persist in maintaining reason.

Some villagers speculated whether the curse could be removed by lifting the wine of eternal life.

This speculation suddenly made some villagers organize to go up the mountain to find a way.

They found the wine of eternal life in the spring at the top of the mountain, and suddenly a 'door' appeared.

But that 'door', once you go in, you can't come back.

The water turned black and inky, and as if it had been given life, it began to flow with life, like tentacles......

This part of the ignorant villagers rushed to the top of the mountain, and suddenly, tentacles appeared from inside the 'gate' and pulled them in!

The remaining villagers were so frightened that they retreated......

It didn't take long.

A skeleton spat out of the 'door', as if it had been chewed by some creature, and then spit out into the sea of the dead.

They saw that the bones were gone, only the head remained, but it was still conscious.

Result ...... near the top of the mountain There is no essential difference between jumping directly into the sea of dead wreckage.

This attempt ended in the loss of several villagers.

The villagers had no choice but to build a ring of iron railings around the top of the hill to prohibit approaching.

From now on......

The top of the mountain, like the outside of the Skeleton Village, has become a forbidden area.

The villagers are desperate, they can't find a way to break the curse, they can only wait, wait, wait, wait for a miracle to happen.

One day, a ghost ship came from the mist.

The heirs of the sea god who came from the ship turned out to be their kind!

This island was originally the ancestral land of the descendants of the sea god, but in order to meet the living conditions required by the growing population, a group of clansmen chose to migrate to other seas to seek a broader space for development.

The Poseidon clan has a tradition of worshipping the dragon god every five years.

They came back this time because of a disaster in the outside world, and they wanted to seek good weather through the sacrifice of the dragon god.

But I didn't expect to arrive here like this.

The villagers saw the ghost ship and saw the figure of the same kind, and suddenly seemed to see hope!

They chose one of the mountain paths and opened the entrance to a pitch-black gate to receive visitors.

A shrine maiden approached and wanted to find out what was going on.

But the shrine maiden came in with her front feet, seemed to realize some kind of crisis, turned around and wanted to leave!

When she stepped out of the village...... Like the villagers of the Skeleton Village, they turned into bones and fell to the ground, leaving only a skull, a larger skull, located in the location of the original dark gate.

The rest of the Poseidon were immediately frightened, and they ignored the cries and pleas of the villagers, and quickly boarded the ghost ship.

Only the villagers in the rear were left shouting loudly, asking the people to think of a way to lift the curse.

However, they have no organs to speak, and only use orchestral instruments to produce high-pitched and high-pitched tones, but to normal people, they are more like ghosts crying wolves in the abyss!

This way of communication, apart from the villagers of the Skeleton Village, how can other beings understand it?

Followed by.

The ghost ship departed far away.

Before leaving, it seems that a certain heir of the sea god can still be seen, leaving a plaque at the door.

The plaque is located at the entrance to the pier.

Five, ten, twenty years have passed......

The villagers of the Skeleton Village still haven't waited for salvation to come, and they are about to despair.

That's when it happened.

A young figure appeared at the door.

He had a suona in his hand.

The villagers of the Skeleton Village were collectively shocked and came to the door, telling the young man not to come in.

At the doorway, the shrine maiden turned into a huge skeleton, which has become a profound lesson.

The mistakes of the past cannot be repeated......

The boy didn't go in, and after so many years, his figure didn't seem to have changed at all.

He said helplessly: "I only have the only way to save my master......"

"The solution is ......"

"Ensemble this score."

The figures of the two seem to coincide, and after a long time, they reunite like a miracle, and they perform in an ensemble after a long time.

As if music from another world, it seems to cross the past, present and future, echoing to the ancient and lonely stone monument beneath this dim sky, witnessing everything.

Suddenly.

A golden light shrouded the place, as if it carried the artistic conception of the soul beyond the sea of suffering, echoing here.

Chen Ye heard that this was [Heavenly Rites]!

Moreover, it was adapted through the final chapter of the Soul Crossing Chapter, and I was so familiar that I couldn't be more familiar with it!

At this moment, the golden mang suddenly erupted and shrouded the old man Erhu.

The phantom of the old man Erhu seems to have obtained transcendent sublimation in the golden mang, following the young man's side, floating next to the 'door'.

The young man stopped at the entrance of the 'gate', looked at the villagers below who also showed a desire for redemption, and sighed:

"The current suona can only allow the master to be redeemed, you need to wait."

"But ......"

"If the same music, or this suona in my hand, appears again, then it will be when you will be liberated."

As soon as the words fell, the figures of the two disappeared into the gray mist.

Only the bones of the old erhu man remained on the ground.

However, the skeleton was scattered on the ground and unconscious.

All the white bone creatures gathered around, looking at the bones of the ground returning to the dust, and in those empty eyes, it seemed to reflect the faint torch, as if they had seen the most precious treasure in the world!

Curse, really, delivered!

Although there are only erhu old people......

But at the moment......

The villagers of the Skeleton Village saw the light of redemption, like the fire of the long night lighting up the dark and lightless sky!

The short old man engraved this prophecy on the stone tablet and made an identical erhu to remember these past events, to remember his friend, and to remember this prophecy that still harbors hope......

…………

The picture melted like water and gradually dissipated.

Chen Ye's consciousness returned to the Skeleton Village at this moment.

At this time, the light of the stone tablet returned to calm, and the words on it had long been wiped out.

After such a long time, the villagers of the Skeleton Village have almost forgotten hope and are living like the walking dead.

Only the stele remembers everything.

But the prophecy engraved on it has also been wiped out by the wind and sand, and only the one in the hand of the short old man has made an identical erhu...... After countless years, the precipitated performance skills have awakened the dusty past.

This moment.

Chen Ye finally knew what had happened in the Skeleton Village!

"It turns out that the old man Erhu is not the heir of the sea god, but a rescued victim."

"Cursed...... Wine of Eternal Life...... This is supposed to be a trait related to the Undead, but the price of eternal life is often more terrible than death. ”

"It turns out that the skeleton at the door was incarnated by a witch who accidentally set foot here, no wonder the inheritance of the witch heir of the sea god has been broken, and I am afraid that I also saw the curse of the witch, so I deliberately concealed the past, and no longer returned to the ancestral land to carry out the dragon god festival."

"The plaque at the door that says "No one is allowed to enter" turned out to be left by their ancestors in Ajaca, but their descendants don't know about it......"

Chen Ye couldn't help but be speechless in his heart, when he came in, this group of Seagod heirs were still shocked by the plaque for a moment, but it turned out that they had left it by themselves.

But soon, his brow furrowed slightly, and he fell into deep thought.

There are many doubts in the memory picture.

For example, at the beginning, the world still looked normal, but after the screen jumped a few times, it suddenly changed to the appearance of the apocalypse.

What happened in between?

And, what is the ability of the old man Erhu, and why can he bring the wine of eternal life from the gray mist?

Who is the mysterious boy holding the suona?

The black sun that plunged the village into the apocalypse...... It seems to have some similarities with the black sun that made the island country fall, but is there any relationship between the two?

In the end, the old man Erhu successfully traveled to the spirit world by playing the Heavenly Rite Music, but his physical body had turned into an unconscious wreckage...... As for where it went? And what happened next? Why did that suona become his first perk item......

There are so many questions, as if it is a huge net of fate, connecting three hundred years ago and three hundred years later.

Chen Ye couldn't help but doubt that he could get suona at the beginning, and after a series of events, what kind of fate did he need to bear behind unlocking the [Soul Crosser] sequence?

That fate is related to the golden stars in the aura of luck.

"Destiny?"

Chen Ye muttered, his pupils like a reflection of flames, trying to solve this mystery.

own destiny...... What the hell is it?

He took a deep breath and refocused on the recent issues.

Now......

I'm afraid that I have also fallen into the curse of the [Skeleton Village], as a living person, if you leave directly from that gate, you will turn into bones.

Since the rule of "Do Not Enter the Living" can be effective for shrine maidens, it will naturally affect oneself as well.

Of course, he could rely on the way he walked in the spirit realm and left the [Skeleton Village] without passing through the dark gate.

But whether the curse will be triggered is still questionable......

What's more, walking in the gray fog requires a lot of spiritual energy, and with your current stage, it is difficult to meet this requirement.

The only way left is to lift the curse!

At this moment, the little old man seemed to remember something, and said:

"I remember that old friend said that he left something on this stone tablet, if when the erhu and suona start to play together again, then the thing will return to the world, maybe it can help you......"

He held the erhu in his hand, looked at the suona in Chen Ye's hand, and said a little uncertainly:

"But I don't know if this erhu in my hand will work...... Maybe you can try. ”

"Okay."

Chen Ye nodded.

Immediately afterwards, he put the suona to his mouth and played it with the short old man.

The repertoire played is the simplest "Lullaby".

The short old man's performance attainments, although he is a little worse than the old man of the erhu, but it is unexpectedly quite compatible with suona.

I don't know if it's the musical skills, they all come from the same master......

With the tacit understanding between suona and erhu, more and more cooperative, the sound of the music gradually became one.

During the performance, the stele suddenly erupted with a ray of light.

The light became brighter and brighter, gradually turning into golden light, connecting with the suona in Chen Ye's hand.

The golden stars are getting brighter and brighter!

At this moment, an object slowly condensed from the top of the stone monument in the golden light!

Chen Ye saw a golden light, which differentiated from such an item, connecting to the suona in his hand, as well as the deepest golden star.

He immediately realized something.

"Is this the last item to advance to the third rank [Soul Crosser]?"
