Death Spell

Chapter 183

The sound of crisp footsteps echoed in the empty street. At this time, the sky was completely dark, because there were no street lights, and the surroundings were pitch black.

When the three of them walked to the end, there was a dense forest. On the way, they didn't even see a ghost.That car and those two people are like the dividing point of another world.

"On the wall just now..." Le Wenyao only said five words, but was interrupted by Sang Xie shaking her head, because Anya's hand on her shoulder tightened.

Sang Xie bent down and put Anya on her back, staring at the gloomy forest in front of her, said: "There is nothing ahead."

"Not only in front, but also around here." Anya put away the compass, held a few yellow talismans in the air, and then scattered them, asking: "Direction?"

Sang Xie stared at the direction where the talisman paper was floating away, and replied, "East."

"Follow the talisman paper, and you will find the exit of the maze." Anya said lightly.

Le Wenyao blinked and asked, "Mizhen?"

"I don't know the specifics. You may know the reason after you get out of the maze." Anya said that, but Sang Xie picked her up.Then she took Le Wenyao and followed the yellow talisman that had been floating in the air, and walked towards the east.

"I just saw... two bones-like hands on the wall just now. What are they?" Le Wenyao didn't talk about this matter, she would keep circling it in her heart, after all, she had never seen such a strange thing.

"Oh, that's the phantom of the white bone whip on my waist." Sang Xie explained lightly.

Le Wenyao kept staring at the bone whip wrapped around Sang Xie's waist, which seemed to be alive. Even if she knew the answer, she still felt incredible.

Seeing her curious look, Sang Xie explained with a smile: "This white bone whip is a treasure left by our ancestors. It is said that it was made of the spine of the leader of the wolf tribe. It has a strong evil nature, but it can control evil... I I always thought that it would not let me go, but I didn't expect it... to recognize me."

Although Le Wenyao didn't understand much, but fortunately she wasn't stupid. Since ancient times, spiritual things have always picked their masters, including the two ancient knives on her back.Thinking of the familiar feeling she held in her hand for the first time, she still remembers it now.

is belonging.

But when she heard the words "control evil with evil", the corners of Le Wenyao's lips curled slightly: "Isn't it because you have the word evil in your name?"

"In that case, it's true." Sang Xie responded, and wanted to continue introducing the white bone whip on his waist, but saw that the yellow talisman disappeared out of thin air.

Sang Xie frowned and stopped, raised her hand to touch the place where the yellow talisman disappeared, and when she reached there, half of her hand disappeared.

Seeing this scene, Le Wenyao let out a terrified "Huh" and said, "Your hand, witch!"

"Don't worry." Sang Xie withdrew her hand again, "It seems that this is the exit of the confusion, let's go out first."

Sang Xie gave Le Wenyao a positive look, took her hand, and walked over with Anya on her back.

The figures of the three disappeared out of thin air like this, walking out of the door like air.Only then did they realize that they were in the dense forest outside the village, farther away than they had seen.

Le Wenyao took out her mobile phone to locate the location, looked at the distance, and asked in surprise: "Oh my God, did we just go through the random door?"

"What's wrong?" Sang Xie took a step back, staring at the phone and asking.

With her slender fingers, Le Wenyao zoomed in on the map and showed it to Sang Xie, "Look, we were here just now, and now...we are here, and the straight-line distance is fifteen kilometers, but...we haven't traveled that far. Isn't it?"

"If I'm not wrong, it should be Rashomon." Listening to Le Wenyao's words, Anya said calmly, "The reason they stopped us is because we walked in the right direction just now. If we went to the right, they wouldn't stop us." to us, for the gate of death leads there."

"Rashomon?" Le Wenyao understood it literally, "similar to the ghost gate?"

"Almost." Anya had a serious face. Although she couldn't see it, she could feel the breath of those people along the way, but not their heartbeat. With Le Wenyao's explanation, and the mobility of those two people, She got this answer and explained seriously: "However, the gate of ghosts is only in the underworld, and the gate leading to the underworld is only the Santu River. And Rashomon is a man-made gate to the ghost world. There is a big difference. What is the purpose of the creator."

"Then... how did we get in?" Le Wenyao realized the problem when he looked at the dark woods around him. It is winter now, not only is there no snow here, but the branches and leaves on the trunk are very lush, "And this tree is also... "

"What kind of tree is it?" Anya asked immediately when she heard the tree.

Sang Xie responded, "Willow tree."

"Yeah." Le Wenyao nodded, staring carefully at the drooping willow branches, the more she looked at them, the creepier she felt.

"Willow tree?" Anya looked a little dazed, and said calmly, "I think I guess who built this Rashomon."

Sang Xie and Le Wenyao said in unison: "Who is it?"

"Since ancient times, soul casting and soul refining have been inseparable, which is why our An family and Sang family combined." Anya said in a low voice, and slowly explained: "The difference between the secret arts is these plants."

Anya's words reminded Sang Xie, and then she stared at the surrounding willow trees, raised her eyebrows and said, "You mean this Rashomon is spiritual rain..."

"It should be her right."

Listening to their conversation, Le Wenyao asked curiously, "Then how did we get in? What do these trees represent?"

"Rashomon has no door at all, it's just a name. Who would know that what divides the two worlds of yin and yang is just a river." Anya said, lowering her eyes, "Whether it's out of good intentions or malice, it's just a river." Both the soul and the refining soul run counter to the six realms of reincarnation. And willow trees, banyan trees, including banana trees, are all yin-gathering plants, and some souls that are lingering in the world and do not want to leave will cling to them, which happens to be cheap for us."

Le Wenyao seemed to understand, thinking about the plants in Anya's house, she was puzzled and said, "But Goddess, I only see bamboo at your house..."

"Bamboo is also counted, because the middle of the bamboo is empty, and the souls attached to it are not easy to be detected. The An family has always focused on transcendence, so they chose the gentlest way. But the banana tree is the most evil, and there are many souls attached to it. , if you accidentally touch human blood, you will become fine."

A gust of wind blew by, and the drooping willow branches made a hissing sound.

Le Wenyao never expected that she would stay in a place similar to the gate of hell.

"However, the fact that so many willow trees are planted in Rashomon proves that..." Before Anya finished speaking, a woman's piercing scream pierced the sky, making them unable to help but look over there.

Anya turned to that side and said, "Go and have a look."

Sang Xie stretched out her hand to hold Le Wenyao in her arms, carried Anya on her back, and flew towards that side quickly.

For Le Wenyao, it is impossible to say that she is not afraid.The voice was hysterical, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying before making such a cry.But it may be that she has experienced a lot, and she is already used to this kind of thing.

got used to?

The female corpse waking up from the ancient tomb, the person emerging from the insect, the butterfly that can make people disappear, the power of instant movement, all of these are unreasonable things in Le Wenyao's view.

It seems that ever since I met Anya, strange phenomena have often appeared before my eyes.

It can be said that Le Wenyao's experience in this year is far richer than her experience of the previous twenty years combined, and even more exciting than the game code she wrote.

Because these are real experiences.

Even now.

Le Wenyao is well aware of her character, she is afraid of death, because she feels that when a person dies, nothing is left, but she can experience life and death with the person in front of her, especially thinking about the forensic sister...

Compared with the boring life, Le Wenyao chose to be with them without hesitation, and the gains and losses have long been forgotten.

Le Wenyao didn't know what it felt like.

Just thinking about being able to fight side by side with them, there is an indescribable excitement in my heart.

The excitement of this life is not in vain.

Sang Xie walked for 5 minutes and stopped suddenly.

In the depths of the dense forest in front, there was a ray of dark green light faintly, which looked very strange.And on the opposite side of the green light, there seemed to be something, which looked like a figure.

"That way." Anya kept holding the compass in her hand, as if the pointer on the compass were her eyes, pointing to the right and asked softly, "Is there a gravel road on the ground?"

Sang Xie looked at the road on the right and nodded: "Yes."

"Walk on the gravel road, and don't touch the willow trees around you." Anya reminded.

Sang Xie put Le Wenyao down, let her follow behind him, stared at the gravel path on the ground like a hexagram, and walked carefully to the center area full of willow trees.

Sure enough, there, they saw a few people.Le Wenyao stared at those people curiously, a little confused, not knowing what they were doing.

Obviously, the appearance of the three of them was also noticed by those people.However, they didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to do what they were doing in an orderly manner.

"Witch, witch..." Le Wenyao looked at those people suspiciously, especially a veiled woman among the crowd.

Sang Xie reached out to hold Le Wenyao's hand, beckoning her not to worry, and explained: "They are the same as us."

"Same?"

Because she was standing too far away and the environment was too dark, Le Wenyao couldn't see clearly at all.Then he took out the night vision goggles from his backpack and put them on, adjusted the maximum distance to see clearly what those people were doing.

Someone cut a willow branch, tied it with a red thread, formed a circle on the ground, and planted three sticks of incense on the ground, and took out a few talismans from his body. When it was on fire, the man threw it away and knelt down in front of the incense burner.

"Huh?" Le Wenyao couldn't understand. Is this asking the gods or catching ghosts?She was puzzled and asked, "Why are you kneeling?"

Seeing Le Wenyao's curious face, Sang Xie couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips. She was really curious about everything, so she patiently explained: "Since ancient times, it has always been easier to invite gods than to send them away, including ghosts. .It must be that they recruited something that shouldn't be recruited, and they have no ability to accept it, so they can only find a way to give it away. Let's wait and see what happens."

Le Wenyao nodded half understanding.

After another ten minutes, the man kept chanting incantations, and his nerves became more and more tense.

Le Wenyao saw something was wrong, and was about to ask something when she heard the man kneeling on the ground let out a shrill scream.

This voice... was similar to the voice of a woman just now. Looking carefully, two lines of blood and tears flowed from his eyes, which looked very painful.

His partner immediately rushed forward, pressed the man, forced his mouth open, and gave him something to eat.

The scene was a little flustered for a moment, except for the woman wearing a veil.Le Wenyao adjusted the night vision goggles again. She wanted to see why this veiled woman could be so calm, but took a step back in shock.

"What's the matter?" Sang Xie noticed something wrong with Le Wenyao and asked.

Le Wenyao immediately took off her glasses and shook her head. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she just met his eyes, and her heart beat violently.

"I do not know either……"

Before Le Wenyao finished speaking, crisp footsteps appeared not far away, and it was the veiled woman walking towards them.

Sang Xie noticed that Le Wenyao in her arms was trembling slightly, and stared at the approaching figure. Although she was wearing a veil that covered most of her face, her unique pupils of different colors made Sang Xie frowned. .

"...Spiritual rain."
