Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 71: Around the Tower

After getting off the car, the three of them saw a pagoda standing in the forest from a distance. Because there were trees nearby, they could only see the khaki-colored top of the pagoda.

The groom put down his riding whip and looked at the pagoda with awe in his eyes. He swallowed and explained: "Three lucky guests, the place where we are standing is quite safe now. If we get close to the soul-crushing pagoda, we have to... I’m going to take a bite of this thing.”

As he spoke, the groom took out a yellow paper bag from his arms, and after shaking it open, there was some grave soil.

The martial arts master in the last carriage trotted over and said politely: "You three Mr. Fu, we won't cause trouble with you. When you finish the matter, come back here to find us. Then we will go back together." Man, my master is looking forward to welcoming you!"

Yang Xiao put on an air of superiority, put his hands in his sleeves, and glanced at the martial artist nonchalantly, "I don't care whether I can catch the wind or not, but I just promised that we can't lose a penny of money, otherwise don't blame me for falling out!"

"That's natural! That's natural!" The martial artist surnamed Zhao agreed.

Taking the grave soil from the groom's hand, Yang Xiao and the others slowly walked towards the Demon Suppression Tower. As soon as they entered the forest and were out of sight of the martial artist, the three of them found a place to sit down and began to discuss.

"They are not going to let us go back. We will die after the matter is done." Kuang Hongyi suggested, "After the task is completed, we will run deep into the forest and try to delay as much time as possible. There is a Soul Calming Tower here. , they don’t dare to catch up easily.”

After all, Yang Xiaosu Tingting is a newcomer and does not understand the rules in the nightmare world. "Brother Kuang, can we go back immediately after the mission is completed?"

"Absolutely. When the time comes, there will be a crack in the world, which is the exit. The exit may be a door, a window, a tree hole, or a well. In short, anything is possible, as long as you enter the exit , we can return to reality.”

"But please note that the rift will only exist temporarily. If we do not enter before the rift disappears, we will be left here forever and will never be able to go back."

Su Tingting was a little scared when she heard this. Things were more complicated than she thought, "Then...how should we find this exit?"

Kuang Hongyi comforted him: "Don't worry, once the exit appears, all survivors will receive the response."

"Okay, stop dawdling, things will change later. I can't stay in this damn place for a minute." Standing up, Kuang Hongyi opened the paper bag in his hand, "Put the grave soil in your mouth. Let's end the mission as soon as possible and go home." ”

The words "go home" seem to have a special magic power that can't help but lift people's spirits.

Yang Xiao noticed that Su Tingting held the grave soil in his hand but had no intention of putting it into his mouth, and couldn't help but frown: "What's wrong?"

Su Tingting stared at the grave soil in his hands and hesitated for a moment: "You...you said that the Feng family is so bad, could they have tampered with the grave soil and deliberately mixed it with some poisonous drugs and waited for us to eat it? , just..."

Hearing this, Kuang Hongyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He reached out and patted Su Tingting on the head, "Can you please stop adding drama to yourself and drugging yourself with poison? The matter has not been resolved yet. What good will it do to the Feng family if we are obsessed with them? Then Master Feng Just wait to die?"

The three of them held the grave soil in their mouths. Although it was not the first time they ate this food, the smell still made Su Tingting frown.

As they got closer, the full picture of the Soul-Calling Pagoda was finally revealed in front of the three of them. It was a rather spectacular pagoda, with a height of more than 10 meters. The main body was made of wooden beams and masonry structures, with eaves hanging on the top of the tower. Part of it is tamped with yellow mud. There are dozens of large and small Buddha statues inlaid everywhere outside the tower. The materials are also varied, including wooden Buddha, stone Buddha, clay Buddha, and even the rare porcelain Buddha. However, after many years of wind and rain, Due to the sun and lack of maintenance, the entire pagoda has been severely eroded. The paint on the Buddha statues has long since peeled off, and even half of the faces of several clay Buddhas have collapsed.

Staring at these Buddha statues with different postures, Su Tingting did not feel protected. On the contrary, she felt creepy.

Kuang Hongyi took a deep breath and turned to look around. It was surprisingly quiet here. There were no insects or birds in this forest. It was as quiet as death.

Yang Xiao made a gesture to Kuang Hongyi, first pointing to the tree next to him, and then pointing to the distance. Matching Yang Xiao's eyes, Kuang Hongyi quickly understood what he meant. The plants near the pagoda were obviously growing better than those around it. Trees and flowers are much better.

The reason is also very simple. There are countless corpses buried under the soil nearby. It is not an exaggeration to say that the plants here grew up by drinking human blood.

Yang Xiao and Kuang Hongyi approached the pagoda. Many characters were slantedly engraved on the exposed bricks of the pagoda. Looking closer, they were names one by one. Looking at them, they were densely packed with names, and there were hundreds of people.

Su Tingting couldn't get involved in this kind of thing. Yang Xiao and Kuang Hongyi had a clear division of labor. Yang Xiao picked up an angular stone on the ground. After walking around the tower for a week, he finally found a blank space and started to carve the words "Sister Chun". To be safe, he stayed behind. The birth date and horoscope were added.

After Yang Xiao finished, Kuang Hongyi held up the old clothes brought out from Sister Chun's grave with both hands, knelt down respectfully, and kowtowed to the pagoda.

Then Yang Xiao clasped his hands together and led the way. Kuang Hongyi held up his clothes and followed behind him. The two of them circled the tower clockwise. As they circled, they silently recited auspicious words in their hearts, wishing that Sister Chun's soul would return here and mother and daughter reunite as soon as possible.

But after going around for more than ten times in a row, the clothes in his hands didn't move at all. Yang Xiao had no choice but to stop. He keenly felt that there were some changes in his surroundings.

At first, the feeling was still vague, but he soon confirmed that it was a few gloomy eyes staring at him.

He looked around, but found nothing.

Kuang Hongyi's face changed, and his movements were exactly the same as Yang Xiao's. Yang Xiao knew that he also felt it. This was not a good sign. Chun Jie did not come, but they attracted the attention of other things.

Without hesitation, Yang Xiao and Kuang Hongyi took Su Tingting and evacuated immediately. Because she was holding the grave soil, she could not speak. Su Tingting stared with her eyes wide open, not knowing what happened at all.

After walking a long way, Su Tingting could not help but look back, but this glance made her shudder.

I saw that dozens of black figures appeared out of thin air beside the originally empty pagoda. The figures were tall, short, fat and thin. They all lowered their heads, put their hands together, formed a circle, and were slowly crawling around the pagoda.

But unlike Yang Xiao and Kuang Hongyi before, these figures were actually circling the pagoda counterclockwise, and the scene was quiet and weird.

After walking out of the Soul-Calming Tower, Kuang Hongyi was the first to spit out the grave dirt in his mouth, "Something is wrong, Chun Jie's relics are not responding, that child...that child is not in the Soul-Calming Tower!"
