Chapter 728: Chapter 728: Deep Forest Night Village_1"Gone?" Xian Qianling abruptly rose, his eyebrows furrowing tightly as he looked towards Gao Xian, "What about Li Tao, wasn’t he chasing after them with you?"
"We could still see them at first, but for some reason, as we were running, they just disappeared!"
Gao Xian was also frantic, his complexion turning somewhat pale.
Seeing Xian Qianling turn his head to look at you, you let out a soft sigh and stood up, saying, "Let’s go and take a look."
The three of you followed the trail up the hill, and soon you could hear Li Tao’s calls coming from ahead: "Miaomiao! Stop hiding, I was wrong, I really realize my mistake! Come out, once you do, you can hit me or scold me all you want!"
After traveling a short distance further, you came upon Li Tao standing at a fork in the road, holding a flashlight, his expression one of tense
In this secluded, deep mountain village, whereas you could see houses built along the slope of the hill, there was no light visible, nor a sound of people.
All you heard was the endlessly repeating, chilling song.
"It’s... it’s Miaomiao’s voice!" Li Tao shouted.
Gao Xian also eagerly nodded: "And Lan Zi, she’s there too, that’s great!"
"Don’t go over there yet, this village is a bit strange."
The construction style of the buildings in this mountain village was indeed peculiar, the houses were scattered haphazardly, and not all of them faced south as customary. Some houses were uniformly facing west, some even joined together, and upon closer inspection, they resembled a gigantic coffin.
Moreover, there was a wall constructed around the village, with only one entrance to get inside.
Under the illumination of Xian Qianling’s strong light, you discovered that the entrance did not have a door, but only a large stone slab about four meters long lying horizontally over the ground, embedded in the earth, akin to a threshold.
He pulled out a piece of yellow talisman paper from his pocket, quickly folded it into a Thousand Paper Cranes, and then blew a breath onto it.
To the astonishment and delight of Gao Xian and Li Tao, the Thousand Paper Cranes slowly took flight and headed towards the village.
At first, the Thousand Paper Cranes flew smoothly, but as it was about to cross the entrance of the village, it suddenly burst into flames!
The original yellow glow of the Thousand Paper Cranes turned into a ghostly green as it burned!
"Red door bolt, blue stone threshold, a well without water, cold in June; parents nurtured to be placed in coffins, foul stench fills the air, crying out for mom and dad..."
Hong Miaomiao and Lan Zi’s eerie tune changed once again, and just listening to it made one feel even more ominously chilled.
Li Tao quickly stepped forward and pleaded with you, "Big brother, please, I beg you! You must find a way to save them!"
"Well, don’t panic yet; they’re still relatively safe for now. It’s just that this village is indeed very strange, and it’s my first encounter with it."
Anxious for Lan Zi, Gao Xian’s face was fraught with concern as he asked, "Brother, what exactly is going on with this village? Why can we hear their voices but not see them?"
"This village, it should be a formation, but I can’t tell what kind of formation it is for the moment."
As you spoke, sixteen yellow cinnabar charms flew out from your pocket and rapidly formed a Small Bagua Array in front of you.
Gently lifting your hand, your fingers slightly spread, you lightly slapped the Small Bagua Array radiating faint golden light.
A beam of golden light shot out from the center of the Bagua!
Just like the previous Thousand Paper Cranes, the golden light touched an invisible barrier that could not be seen with the naked eye above the bluish stone slabs.
Then, like a giant net, the golden light swiftly spread out along the barrier.
As the golden net expanded, you all noticed that the invisible barrier was now enveloping the entire mountain village.
At this moment, Li Tao and Gao Xian were too shocked to speak, both standing with their mouths wide open, staring transfixed at the immense golden net before them.
"What... What exactly is this?"
"A Hollywood blockbuster?"
Ignoring the bewildered duo, you turned to Xian Qianling beside you and said, "Crazy Woman, the village’s defense barrier is strong. I’ll try my best to tear open a rift. Once you rush in, run towards the small path on your right. At the end of the road, there’s a house with a coffin in the main hall, and that’s where they are."
"Okay!"
As Xian Qianling nodded, Li Tao and Gao Xian hurriedly said, "We’ll go too!"
"You can, but you must be quick! From the time you enter until you come out, it mustn’t take more than two minutes!"
As you spoke, you twisted your neck and shook your shoulders, and then eight yellow cinnabar charms flew out from each of your pockets, converging into two glowing Bagua Arrays in midair before you.
Raising both hands, you reached into the Bagua Arrays.
It was as if you had grasped something, your previously easygoing expression immediately turned solemn. Then, you yelled to Xian Qianling and the others, "Get ready!"
"Hmm!"
Seeing that the three were standing at the entrance of the village, you pulled your hands forcefully left and right!
"Ziila!"
A sound like fabric being torn was heard, and the space at the entrance of the village was ripped open by some powerful force, revealing a rift!
"Go in quick! This thing is tougher than I thought; I can only hold it for a maximum of one hundred seconds!"
Upon hearing this, the three immediately stepped through the torn space rift and charged in!
