Chapter 73. Xiao Lang’s Death
Arc 3 : Supernatural Horror Movie Nightmare.
Seeing this, Du Yan rubbed his forehead and sighed softly.
This situation was normal. After all, Xiao Lang was an ordinary person who had never been exposed to the cultivator sect. This method was somewhat similar to controlling one’s own soul with consciousness, which was considered to be a relatively high-end method among the Celestial Master’s techniques.
Du Yan himself couldn’t do it. He originally thought that since Xiao Lang could leave his body on his own, he should be able to go back with a little prompting. But now it seems that he was overthinking.
Xiao Lang was very nervous and cautious: “How about I try again?”
Du Yan smiled and said: “Forget it, let’s go see how Liang Fei is doing first. Maybe you can go back smoothly without realizing it.”
Du Yan and Xiao Lang walked to the sarcophagus. Liang Fei was breathing evenly and seemed to have not suffered any serious injuries. Now that he and Xiao Lang were in a state of soul, they could not contact Liang Fei, and all they could do was confirm his condition.
Seeing that Liang Fei was fine, Du Yan stood up to look at the sarcophagus, only to find that the lid of the sarcophagus had been halfway opened.
Lying inside the sarcophagus was a female corpse that looked like she was fast asleep. She had a face like a lotus, willow-leaf eyebrows, cherry lips, and fair skin. It was exactly Fan Shi, who died two hundred years ago.
When Fan Shi died, her resentment soared and turned her into a fierce ghost. As long as the resentment does not dissipate, her body will not decay.
On the inner wall of the sarcophagus, there were also many formations carved. Next to Fan Shi’s body, there were some wooden signs scattered around. The runes on these wooden signs were exactly the same as those on the huge stone at the wellhead. However, in this environment, all the wooden signs were well preserved. It can be seen that objects were old, but none of them have decayed.
In addition, there were a few broken ropes. Judging from the burnt joints, they must have been burned not long ago.
Fan Shi’s hands were clasped in front of her abdomen, holding a spirit tablet. Near her head was the small wooden box containing the peddler’s corpse. Everything in front of him was closely related to Liang Fei, who had fainted on the ground.
After Liang Fei broke into the place, he burned the rope on Fan Shi’s body and put the spirit tablet and wooden box into the coffin. Afterward, no one knew whether the fierce ghost returned to her body or not. Anyway, Liang Fei fell in front of the sarcophagus.
Xiao Lang also went to the sarcophagus to take a look. After all, he had experienced more horrible situations before, so a mere female corpse could not scare him at all at this moment.
When he approached, he thought that he couldn’t touch the real thing anyway, so he didn’t pay much attention to his movements. As a result, Xiao Lang’s hand accidentally touched the lid of the sarcophagus.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand touched the coffin lid, the half-opened coffin lid was hit by a huge force and fell to the ground.
“…” Du Yan looked at Xiao Lang in silence. This man’s special physique could really be a big problem sometimes. It connects Yin and Yang, so even if the soul is separated from the body, it can still touch things in the real world.
Xiao Lang waved his hands repeatedly: “I didn’t use any force, really, I just touched it lightly.”
Now was not the time to pursue responsibility, as Fan Shi’s body had been completely exposed. She was not wearing a funeral garment but a simple, plain-colored dress made of coarse cloth. She had no jewelry on her body, but her feet, which were exposed from under her skirt, were wearing a pair of bright red embroidered shoes.
Du Yan and Xiao Lang’s eyes stopped at the embroidered shoes at the same time. These shoes were the ones that Fan Shi had embroidered herself and then gave to the peddler and were used as evidence of adultery.
Under their gaze, the color of the embroidered shoes seemed to spread, the bright red color climbed up the hem of the skirt, then to the belt, and finally stained the lapels.
Now, lying in the sarcophagus, Fan Shi looked like a newlywed, wearing a wedding dress, except for the fact that she had no jewelry in her hair.
Xiao Lang glanced at Du Yan and asked: “What’s this situation?”
Du Yan frowned and said: “Not good, perhaps Fan Shi is going to get rid of this seal and leave the sarcophagus. Her anger has not subsided, and it will be troublesome if she leaves at this time.”
While the two were talking, the eyelashes of the female corpse trembled slightly, and it looked like she was about to open her eyes.
Du Yan couldn’t care too much. Now that he had no body, he could only forcibly draw the true fire energy from his soul, even if it would hurt his body.
Du Yan made a spell, and a golden light shone on his index finger. He then pointed at the center of Fan Shi’s eyebrows and began to draw a seal on Fan Shi’s forehead with the golden light.
If Fan Shi can only appear in the form of a ghost, even with Xiao Lang’s special physique, she can not leave the village and naturally can not go out to harm other innocent people. However, once she wakes up in her own body, she can do whatever she wants, causing huge trouble later on.
As the golden seal on Fan Shi’s forehead gradually took shape, Fan Shi’s eyelashes stopped trembling, and the red color of her clothes slowly faded.
However, at this critical moment, Liang Fei, who was lying in front of the sarcophagus, suddenly jumped up. He roared and tried to grab Du Yan’s hand, but Du Yan was not a physical body, so Liang Fei naturally grabbed nothing.
Liang Fei’s face was dark blue at the moment, and his eyes were pale with no pupils. It was obvious that he was controlled by a ghost.
This shrewd fellow was quite intelligent. When he saw that he couldn’t touch Du Yan in Liang Fei’s body, he took out a dagger from somewhere and rushed towards Du Yan’s body at the door.
Du Yan couldn’t move at this moment. The formation of the seal was at a critical moment. If it was interrupted, Fan Shi in the sarcophagus might sit up immediately. The next thing will evolve into something beyond Du Yan’s control. Fan Shi would leave this ancient village and kill everyone in the area. The consequences would be too terrible.
Xiao Lang’s reaction was not slow either, he raised his hand and tried to pull Liang Fei. He did touch the corner of his clothes, but Liang Fei, who was possessed by a ghost, was so fast that he rushed to the door without giving Xiao Lang any chance.
Liang Fei raised the dagger in his hand and was about to stab Du Yan in the heart.
Xiao Lang was furious and yelled: “Stop!”
Before he finished speaking, his figure disappeared in an instant. Du Yan looked up and saw Xiao Lang crawling up from the ground at the door. It seemed that under the strong will, his soul returned to his body on its own.
Xiao Lang returned to his body, not caring about anything else, and rushed directly towards Liang Fei. He barely knocked away the dagger that Liang Fei was stabbing at him, and the two rolled to the side and started fighting.
Xiao Lang was half a head taller than Liang Fei, and Liang Fei was no match for him in a fight. However, Liang Fei, who was possessed by a ghost, was full of brute force and seemed to feel no pain at all, so he ignored Xiao Lang’s punches.
After a fight between the two, Xiao Lang was at a disadvantage and was kicked to the wall by Liang Fei. He covered his stomach and felt a little black in front of his eyes, as if one of his ribs was broken.
Liang Fei ignored Xiao Lang, who was temporarily unable to stand up, and instead picked up the dagger from the ground and threw it towards Du Yan’s body.
The dagger was about to pierce Du Yan’s heart. At this critical moment, Xiao Lang somehow rushed over. It was too late to stop him. He threw himself on Du Yan.
Du Yan, who was standing next to the sarcophagus, had just finished the last stroke of the seal. He looked up and watched the dagger pierce Xiao Lang’s back.
Du Yan’s hands trembled, and before he could think of anything, his eyes went dark. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Xiao Lang’s pale face and knew that he had returned to his body in an emergency.
Du Yan was stunned when he saw Xiao Lang leaning on him, and his expression twisted in pain.
He did think about taking Xiao Lang to another Shunping City with the help of Fan Shi. But he never thought that Xiao Lang would block a fatal blow for him at this moment.
“You……”
Xiao Lang’s face turned pale with pain, but looking somewhat relieved when he saw Du Yan opening his eyes, he reluctantly curled his lips and said: “I’m glad you’re okay.”
After saying this reluctantly, Xiao Lang closed his eyes, and his head fell onto Du Yan. However, Liang Fei behind him still hadn’t given up, raised his hand, and pulled out a dagger, stabbing towards Du Yan’s forehead.
Du Yan tried hard to suppress the emotions in his heart, gritted his teeth, and sprayed a mouthful of blood from the tip of his tongue on Liang Fei’s face, who was about to stab him again. He raised his left hand again and wiped it on Xiao Lang’s back, and his entire palm was covered with Xiao Lang’s blood.
Without hesitation, he pressed Xiao Lang’s blood on Liang Fei’s forehead. Liang Fei’s face was full of rage, the dark energy on his face disappeared, his eyes rolled back, and he fell to the ground.
Du Yan had no time to care about Liang Fei’s condition. He raised his left hand and tested Xiao Lang’s breath, trembling slightly, but he had completely stopped breathing.
He did not give up and touched Xiao Lang’s neck with his right hand, but still could not feel any pulse.
Du Yan half-hugged Xiao Lang and sat up. He raised his left hand and stared at the blood on his palm. He sat paralyzed on the ground, feeling completely exhausted.
Du Yan felt that his mind was blank and he was completely unable to think. He had no intention of caring about Fan Shi’s corpse sealed in the sarcophagus, nor did he have the mood to check on Liang Fei’s condition on the ground.
He was thinking of Xiao Lang. Du Yan had never expected that Xiao Lang would come to block the attack.
Du Yan knew that Xiao Lang would have to die. In this nightmare, Xiao Lang must die to break the root of the nightmare. However, when the scene in front of him happened, he did not feel any joy of achieving his goal ahead of time. Instead, he felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest, and he could hardly breathe.
Perhaps Xiao Ba was aware of Du Yan’s abnormal emotional state at the moment, and he spoke in Du Yan’s mind: “Are you regretting putting Xiao Lang to death?”
Du Yan was a little confused: “I don’t know, it’s not regret, I just… I just feel a little uncomfortable.”
He put his hand on his chest and leaned back against the door of the ancestral hall with some fatigue, but his left hand was always tightly holding Xiao Lang.
