Chapter 74. Plan Still Has To Carried Out
Arc 3 : Supernatural Horror Movie Nightmare.
After sitting there in a daze for a while, Du Yan suddenly lowered his head and looked at Xiao Lang’s face carefully for a moment, then turned his head and covered his eyes with his right hand.
There was a long silence, so long that when Xiao Ba was thinking about whether to say something to enlighten Du Yan, he moved.
Xiao Ba took the opportunity to ask: “What are you going to do next? Are you going to give up?”
Du Yan seemed to have calmed down and answered calmly: “Things have come to this point, why give up?”
He directly picked up Xiao Lang and placed him next to the sarcophagus.
Inside the sarcophagus, Fan Shi was still lying quietly, her clothes had completely returned to their previous plain colors, and apart from the embroidered shoes on her feet, she didn’t look like a ghost.
Du Yan lowered his head and finally had time to carefully check Fan Shi’s condition.
A closer look revealed something a little off. The formation on the sarcophagus was intact and had not been damaged in any way. Fan Shi, who had become a powerful ghost, had not left this place at least before Liang Fei burned the rope.
In this case, the ghost possessing Liang Fei could not be Fan Shi.
However, the ghost who had just crossed over was probably seriously injured by the dual effects of Du Yan’s tongue blood and Xiao Lang’s heart blood, and he would not dare to come out and cause trouble in the short term.
When Du Yan saw the red embroidered shoes on Fan Shi’s feet and the memorial tablet in her hands, the identity of the ghost that crossed over was immediately revealed.
He was the peddler who died tragically at about the same time as Fan Shi. When in the woods, the peddler escaped in the chaos, perhaps thinking that he would find a good opportunity to come back and save Fan Shi. Unexpectedly, those young men with beastly hearts wanted to insult Fan Shi, and the peddler had no choice but to force his way in to rescue Fan Shi.
Unfortunately, he failed to save the person and lost his life. Moreover, before he died, he saw his beloved woman being humiliated. He died with such hatred, and it was inevitable that he would turn into a resentful ghost.
However, after the peddler died, his body was abandoned in the mountains and then eaten by wild animals, leaving the body incomplete.
If the corpse is incomplete, even if the resentment is overwhelming, it will take a lot longer to turn into a fierce ghost than Fan Shi, whose corpse was left intact. In addition, Fan Shi’s corpse was hung in an old house with three locust trees planted in front of the door, so naturally resentment soared, and in a very short time it turned into a fierce ghost and came out to take revenge on the people in the village.
Then there was a tragedy that happened in the village, which attracted the Taoist priest of the Maoshan Sect. The corpse of the peddler was sealed in the inner hall of the village ancestral hall as a medium to lure and suppress the Fan Shi.
It was not until Xiao Lang arrived that the peddler who had turned into a fierce ghost was able to see the light of day again. This pair of lovers was indeed somewhat pitiful. They could not be together when they were alive, and even after death, they would miss each other for hundreds of years even if they turned into resentful ghosts.
Du Yan sighed. Perhaps Xiao Lang’s death made him a little sentimental. He actually felt a little sympathetic towards the poor couple. After Xiao Lang became the Ghost King, it would be a good choice to help the poor couple reincarnate.
But now was not the time to think about these things. Du Yan’s top priority was to turn Xiao Lang into a Ghost King.
Although the current plan has changed, Xiao Lang died before he could enter another Shunping City. Du Yan’s original plan to use the Yin energy of Shunping Ghost City to refine the Ghost King has all gone down the drain.
Fortunately, this location in front was unique. The ancestral hall above was the place where the ancient village had blessings of hundreds of years, and the underground ancestral hall below was a natural cave, which was the place where yin energy gathered.
In addition, the formation that the Maoshan Sect’s Taspens spent a lot of effort to draw two hundred years ago was drawn to suppress the Fan Shi and resolve her resentment. However, Du Yan only needed to make a slight change and use the resentment of the Fan Shi that would not have resolved for years to turn this place into an excellent place to refine the Ghost King.
Du Yan walked around the ancestral hall, and after getting familiar with all the arrangements, he took out everything he had prepared in his backpack and began to transform the formation in the ancestral hall.
After doing all this, Du Yan bowed to Fan Shi and said: “I’m sorry.”
Then, he took Fan Shi’s body out of the sarcophagus and carefully placed it in a clean place in the ancestral hall.
After Liang Fei burned the rope, the stone coffin could no longer trap Fan Shi. All Du Yan had done before was to delay the time it took for her to wake up.
However, in the current situation, when Fan Shi wakes up, Xiao Lang will have been refined into a ghost king. Once a ghost king is born, he can command hundreds of ghosts. Even if Fan Shi wakes up, she can not kill innocent people at will under Xiao Lang’s restraint.
Du Yan was still very confident in Xiao Lang’s character. Even if he became the ghost king, he would not be a ghost who killed innocent people.
Afterward, Du Yan picked up Xiao Lang and put him into the sarcophagus.
The lid of the sarcophagus was slowly closing, and at the last moment, Du Yan stopped moving. He looked at Xiao Lang deeply, leaned over, and kissed him lightly on the forehead, and then he closed the lid of the sarcophagus completely without hesitation.
The preparations for refining the Ghost King were already complete, but Du Yan was not in a hurry to leave.
He sat cross-legged in front of the sarcophagus, took out a notebook from his backpack, and began to write on it. The content was roughly about distorting everything that happened in the ancient village into his own single-minded plan, including Liang Fei being possessed by a fierce ghost and so on.
The initial encounter on the train was naturally a plot by Du Yan, who was a member of the Exorcist Sect. He calculated the location of Xiao Lang, who had a special fate and planned to kill him.
Xiao Ba was stunned and said to Du Yan: “What are you doing? Didn’t you just say that you felt bad and had softened a little?”
Du Yan said calmly: “I felt uncomfortable, but I didn’t feel soft-hearted. I don’t deny it because the memory of the previous two dreams is still there, plus Xiao Lang’s selfless rescue this time, I was indeed a little moved.”
Du Yan paused: “However, the plan still needs to be carried out. Otherwise, wouldn’t Xiao Lang’s death be in vain? Even if it’s about feelings, I have to be rational. It will not be good for anyone to give up halfway at this time.”
Xiao Ba still didn’t understand: “Can’t you just have a peaceful and stable relationship?”
Du Yan was somewhat speechless: “Did you go to the wrong set? This is a supernatural film. The root of eliminating the nightmare lies in sending Xiao Lang’s friends away and solving the hidden dangers of another Shunping City. After all, Xiao Lang’s family lives here.”
“If Xiao Lang doesn’t become the Ghost King, what can he use to fight against Shunping Ghost City? Then Xiao Lang’s death would be in vain. The next time he encounters this dream, he will have to die again. It is better to die once and for all.”
Du Yan stopped talking after this. He was indeed moved by Xiao Lang, but his feelings would not affect his rational judgment. Du Yan always knew what was the best thing to do next.
Now Xiao Lang died because of saving Du Yan, it can be said that this death was voluntary. Even with the help of the formation, without overwhelming anger or resentment, he can not become the Ghost King.
Now, this notebook can only create the illusion of being betrayed by someone dear. Combined with Xiao Lang’s special physique, this can refine a Ghost King.
Xiao Ba was silent for a moment and asked: “Do you think Xiao Lang will believe it?”
Du Yan just finished writing the last stroke and closed his notebook: “Do you know what the biggest difference between ghosts and humans is?”
Xiao Ba said: “I don’t know.”
Du Yan said: “When humans act, they are mostly controlled by reason, and they rarely act purely on instinct. Ghosts act mostly on instinct. Even ghosts like the Ghost King, who are considered rational, act mainly on instinct.”
“So, when Xiao Lang would notice this notebook, he had not yet become the Ghost King, so he naturally would not consider whether it was unreasonable for the notebook to be dropped here, but would immediately be controlled by his emotions and felt resentful.”
Xiao Ba said: “Aren’t you afraid that Xiao Lang will kill you without saying a word as soon as he is born? After all, evil ghosts act unscrupulously. You have set yourself up as an enemy again.”
Du Yan shrugged: “Although I had originally scheduled in advance for myself to be devoured by the Ghost King, I still had to try to control the Ghost King in the early stage to make the whole play. The amulet hanging around Xiao Lang’s neck is the master’s treasure for controlling ghosts. In addition, I refined the ghost king myself, so he had to be controlled by me.”
After saying this, Du Yan stood up and found a very clever place to put the notebook to make it look like it had been accidentally dropped.
Afterward, he closed the door of the ancestral hall, picked up Liang Fei, who had fainted on the ground, and walked out along the passage.
When he was about to reach the bottom of the well, Du Yan made a phone call and asked everyone waiting outside the village to come over to pick them up. As for Xiao Lang’s matter, Du Yan had already thought of an excuse, that is, there was a passage at the bottom of the well with a naturally formed cave. He and Xiao Lang got lost unexpectedly and called the police.
However, the police who would come here definitely would not be able to discover the underground ancestral hall and would just end up empty-handed in the natural cave.
Du Yan and the unconscious Liang Fei waited for a while at the bottom of the well and then returned to the surface with the help of everyone.
Xu Yuan squatted down anxiously to check on Liang Fei’s condition, and the others also gathered around with concern.
Du Yan found something a little strange. In the few minutes since he came up, no one asked about Xiao Lang’s whereabouts. The four people in Xiao Lang’s dormitory had a very harmonious relationship, but no one asked about him.
If the people in the dormitory ignored Xiao Lang because they were worried about Liang Fei’s condition, why didn’t Tian Luo ask about it? The relationship between him and Xiao Lang must be closer than that of Liang Fei, who had only been together for a few days. It was impossible for him to be indifferent to Xiao Lang’s whereabouts.
Du Yan walked forward and said: “Don’t worry, Liang Fei must have fainted from being too scared. But Xiao Lang, didn’t he come back?”
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him with an extremely surprised expression.
Wei Zizhe looked Du Yan up and down for a while, then asked: “What are you talking about? Aren’t you Xiao Lang?”
