Deadly Forbidden Tomb - C80
The group of Ghastly Wives walked slowly, as light as a feather. The strange thing was, in places where the group passed by, the lights were on, but as soon as they approached, the lights in the houses on both sides would suddenly go out.
Little by little, the light was swallowed up.
Wherever they passed, it brought about darkness.
My whole body shivered, and I pulled Xiao Yun to retreat, but just as I turned around, behind us, there was unexpectedly a set of drumming sounds. However, there was joy on one side and sorrow on the other.
As soon as the voice sounded, another group of people walked out of the darkness on the way down the mountain.
This team was also wearing the same clothes as before, walking in the exact same posture as before. The only difference was that the procession was carrying a big red bridal sedan, while they were carrying a big black coffin with the word “Li” engraved on it.
With every step the team took, a large amount of white paper money was spilled. The paper money was round and square, somewhat similar to a copper coin.
This was a funeral procession!
One team went to the funeral, one team went to escort the bride. Both teams walked with exaggerated steps, their faces pale without a trace of blood.
This scene made my eyelids twitch. Cold sweat dripped down my body.
Last time, we were just watching from afar. Although we were afraid, we could still barely hold it in. But now, these two strange troops are pincer attacking each other, blocking our path at the end of the village.
They forced us to the point where we had nowhere to run!
From the looks of it, it was clear that they were coming for us. They just left the tiger den and entered the den of wolves, they really aren’t giving us a chance to live.
“Brother Changsheng, lower your head and close your eyes!”
Just then, Xiao Yun pushed the red umbrella over his head. Not daring to hesitate, I immediately lowered my head and closed my eyes. Even my breathing had become completely still. My only hope now is Xiao Yun and this red umbrella that can cover my eyes.
He hoped that the red umbrella would display its desired effect and help him escape calamity.
Although he had closed his eyes, he could hear the voice clearly. The beating of the gongs and drums, one after the other, was getting closer and closer to us. In just a few seconds, sweat started to pour down my forehead, and I couldn’t help but tighten my grip on Xiao Yun’s hand.
A wave of cold air gradually invaded their senses, and soon, the temperature in the surrounding area dropped to the freezing point.
The gongs and drums were close at hand, and the two teams were already close to us. At this moment, I was so angry that I could only endure.
After a few seconds, I suddenly felt something strange around me, as if someone had brushed past me. The sound of the horn was so close to my ear that my ears were ringing. More and more people passed by me, and accompanying them was a bone-piercing chill.
Obviously, those who passed me were the ghosts of the two wedding procession.
When I thought about how I would be able to get along with these ghosts, with my hands at their sides and shoulders touching, I started swinging my legs uncontrollably. Vaguely, I felt my body weakening, as though something was slowly being stripped out of my body.
It was a very strange feeling, and also a very strange feeling. In just a few seconds, I felt my body becoming extremely heavy, as though I would fall asleep at any moment.
At this moment, I was almost unable to hold my breath, and my chest starts to move up and down silently. I can only pray that these two teams leave as soon as possible, or else I’ll suffocate to death here.
At the same time, I was also worried about Xiao Yun, and was wondering if she could hold it in.
Just as we missed out on the sound of the gongs and drums, and when we were getting further and further away from each other, I suddenly heard Xiao Yun shout in shock, “Brother Changsheng!”
I jumped in fright, thinking that Xiao Yun was in danger, I immediately opened my eyes.
In an instant, I was stunned.
Because I realized that Xiao Yun, who was beside me, still had her head lowered and her eyes closed, not moving an inch.
In other words, it was not Xiao Yun who had cried out in alarm just now.
If it wasn’t her, then who was it?
After a brief moment of blankness, I suddenly understood. However, it was already too late, because at this moment, the two teams that had just brushed past me had suddenly stopped, and the sound of the gongs and drums had also abruptly stopped.
Initially, the two teams had their backs facing me. When I opened my eyes to breathe, their heads suddenly twisted, turning around at the same time. They moved forward, but their heads moved backwards a hundred and eighty degrees.
She stared at me with a pale face.
At that moment, they laughed at the same time. It was a very strange laughter.
He wasn’t afraid of ghosts crying, he was afraid of demons laughing!
The laughter made me feel as though I was struck by lightning. My consciousness started to blur. Those ghosts didn’t move, but I suddenly lost control of my body and walked step by step towards the bridge.
I wanted to run for my life, but my limbs wouldn’t stop moving. I could only watch as I approached the bridal sedan.
Even though my mind was a little muddleheaded, I knew clearly in my heart that I had been possessed by a ghost.
Xiao Yun also noticed my abnormality and immediately slapped the back of my head. My body quivered from the slap and my limbs returned back to normal.
Before I could react, the bridge spun and pointed the sedan at me. Then the curtain on the door was pulled back and a white ribbon flew out, wrapping itself around my neck like a bolt of lightning. The end of the white silk was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
“Be careful!”
Just as I was in a daze, Xiao Yun suddenly rushed in front of me.
“Hurry up!”
Xiao Yun pulled me and ran.
At this time, the white silk flew out again and nimbly wrapped around Xiao Yun’s neck.
Xiao Yun opened her eyes wide, her beautiful face revealing a trace of reluctance. She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, she was suddenly pulled back by the white silk and pulled into the pitch black bridal sedan.
Then, the bridal bridge was raised, and the procession quickly ran into the darkness.
“Xiao Yun!”
I shouted crazily and rushed towards the bridal sedan, not caring about my life. At this moment, I completely forgot about my fear, and only thought about saving Xiao Yun.
However, just as I moved, I felt something wrap around my body. I looked down and saw nothing. I just couldn’t move.
Before I could react, I felt my body lighten and my feet fly into the air. The next moment, I was in the coffin. He lifted his head and saw that the moon in the sky was growing dimmer.
With a “bang”, the coffin lid suddenly closed.
The night sky had disappeared, the moon had disappeared, and what replaced it was darkness, an oppressive darkness.
I wanted to struggle, but I found that I was unable to move my body. All of the strength in my body had been drained.
I forced myself not to fall asleep, because I knew that once I fell asleep, I might never wake up again. And there’s also Xiao Yun, the Xiao Yun who saved me many times. I’m not willing to let her be taken away like this, and I’m also not willing that she lost her life for me.
So what if he was unwilling? I couldn’t save her.
Huang Quan was right, I am a trash, a trash who can’t even protect himself, how can I save someone else?
I suddenly felt that I was useless, completely useless, and that I was a burden. What dogshit descendant of the Taoist Master, other than having two legs that could escape, I couldn’t think of anything else.
Even though it was a little frustrating, I still clenched my teeth and persevered on, but I didn’t dare to do anything about it. That kind of fatigue became heavier and heavier, and my consciousness became even more blurry.
The sound of drums and gongs was growing, the coffin was being lifted, and was swaying slightly, though I could not see it, but I knew very well that this procession of mourners was leading me into the darkness of the unknown.
At this moment, the cold wind outside the coffin suddenly whistled, like ghosts crying and wolves howling. The sound of beating gongs and beating drums suddenly became more intense, and even the coffin was about to shake even more.
Then, a loud shout was heard.
“Scram!”
The shout was like a loud bell, and it was also like a thunderclap that exploded in the sky. It even carried a long ending sound, like the echo of an empty valley.
Even in the coffin, my ears were numb and my head was spinning.
With just one word, it caused the howling wind to suddenly disappear, and the sound of drums and gongs to abruptly stop. With a “bang”, the coffin fell to the ground, and the ghosts that carried it all fled, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying.
It was hard to imagine that just this loud shout was enough to scare the ghosts into fleeing in all directions. How powerful was this person?
The sudden fall of the coffin made me dizzy.
Before I could catch my breath, the lid of the coffin was suddenly opened.
I barely opened my eyes, but when I saw who it was, I immediately fainted …
