Chapter 381 Soul-Catching Bell
As soon as he reached the door, Jiang Ci felt the aura of death approaching.
"Stand back." She stopped the old patriarch who was about to step forward.
The old patriarch did not suspect anything and quickly retreated behind her, "My little benefactor, what's wrong?"
"The seal will soon be unable to suppress it. The death energy is very strong." Jiang Ci said seriously: "If you retreat any further, the death energy will devour everyone who comes close."
When the old patriarch heard this, he pulled her up and retreated, "My little benefactor, this matter is too serious. It is not something you can handle. Let's go first."
Jiang Ci clearly sensed that the seal in the forbidden area was on the verge of collapse. Once it collapsed, there would be no living creature within a hundred miles.
With so much merit, if she doesn't take advantage of it, her trip would be in vain.
"Death energy can't do any harm to me." Jiang Ci pushed his hand away and said solemnly, "The resentment is about to break through the seal. Now there is only one way, that is to let me in."
"No!" Murong Yun hurried over and said, "Grandpa, how can you let her go in? It's so dangerous in there. Let's wait until father comes back before making a decision."
The old patriarch glared at him and said, "Of course I won't let my little benefactor take any risks."
"Grandson, go find the elders and reinforce the seal."
Jiang Ci said in a chilling tone: "If they go in, it will be tantamount to committing suicide."
The old patriarch sighed: "There's nothing we can do about it."
Ding-ling-ling… Ding-ling-ling…
Suddenly, bursts of shrill ringing sounds spread from the forbidden area.
When the old patriarch and Murong Yun heard the bell ringing, their faces changed immediately.
The old patriarch, in particular, seemed to have been slapped in the face by an invisible big hand. His body shook and he almost fell to his knees.
"Grandpa!" Murong Yun hurriedly supported him.
"The vengeful spirits are biting back." Jiang Ci said bluntly, "Your ancestors committed too many evil deeds, and the Soul-Catching Bell has sucked in too many wronged souls. Now they want to take revenge on your family."
The old patriarch tried his best to stand up and shouted at the gate of the forbidden area: "If you want revenge, just find me alone. Don't hurt the younger generation, okay?"
Ding-a-ling!
Ding-a-ling!
The sound of the bells became extremely sharp.
The old patriarch's chest suddenly felt like it was boiling with blood, and he opened his mouth and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"grandfather!"
Jiang Ci quickly sealed the old patriarch’s heart meridians to prevent him from dying suddenly.
"Take your grandfather away first. He is dying."
Murong Yun hurriedly picked up his grandfather and ran home.
Jiang Ci looked back at the sky above the forbidden area. Wisps of black gas were coming out of the forbidden area, gathering bigger and bigger in the void.
That's resentment.
With such a strong resentment, one can imagine how many wronged souls are sealed in the Soul-Catching Bell.
Jiang Ci did not force his way into the forbidden area, but just followed Murong Yun back.
The old patriarch was lying on the bed, his face pale and his breath barely fading.
Murong Jinran was crying inconsolably, and Murong Yun was so anxious that he asked the clan doctor to see her. However, he was told that she could prepare for her funeral. He was so angry that he cursed the other party as a quack on the spot.
Jiang Ci leaned against the door and said calmly, "Your family doctor is right. If I hadn't sealed your grandfather's heart meridian just now, his ghost would be on his way now."
"Master Jiang!" Murong Jinran rushed over crying, "Please save my grandfather, you must have a way, right?"
Jiang Ci said truthfully: "It is those wronged souls who want to take the lives of your Murong clan, not only your grandfather, but also you."
Murong Jinran cried, "Okay, I can die in Grandpa's place."
Murong Yun: "Little sister, you didn't understand. Master Jiang means that our whole family is doomed."
"At worst, I can gather all the masters of the clan. I just don't believe that even if we try our best, we still can't break a soul-catching bell?"
Jiang Ci poured cold water on him and said, "It really can't be broken."
"The Soul-Catching Bell contains the murderous hatred passed down from your ancestors to your Murong clan. Your grandfather's grandfather gave up evil and turned to good. How many generations have passed by before your generation?"
"Even if there were ten more of you, you wouldn't be able to break the Soul-Catching Bell."
"What should we do? Are we just going to watch our entire family destroyed?" Murong Jinran cried.
Jiang Ci: "If you want to blame someone, blame your ancestors for committing too many sins, so naturally your descendants will suffer misfortune."
"Master Jiang, do you have a solution?" Murong Yun gritted his teeth and said, "If you can save the Murong family, you can set any conditions!"
"I'll have to go in and see for myself."
"Okay, I'll go in with you!"
Murong Yun agreed on the spot.
Murong Jinran was anxious, "Brother, how can you go in? If something happens to you, how can I explain to dad? I have to go, and you are responsible for carrying on the family line."
Murong Yun rubbed her head and said, "You can also carry on the family line. Okay, you take good care of grandpa here and wait for Master Jiang and I to come back."
The two came to the gate of the forbidden area.
Jiang Ci looked up into the sky. The strange black gas had condensed into an extremely large size and gradually turned into the shape of a ferocious beast.
"Master Jiang, what are you looking at?" Murong Yun looked up. Apart from the slightly gloomy weather, there was nothing unusual.
Jiang Ci put two fingers together and tapped his forehead.
When Murong Yun looked again, a giant black beast suddenly appeared in the sky.
"What is that?!" Murong Yun was stunned.
"The resentment in the Soul-Catching Bell is about to condense into a solid entity." Jiang Ci sighed, "How many sins of murder did your ancestors commit? It's so serious."
Murong Yun said fearfully, "What will happen if it condenses into a physical entity?"
"There is not a single living thing within a hundred miles." Jiang Ci urged him, "Open the door quickly."
"Okay..." Murong Yun's hands couldn't stop shaking and he couldn't even hold the key.
Jiang Ci snatched it away and opened the gate to the forbidden area.
A gust of cold wind blew over, forcing Murong Yun to retreat several steps.
Jiang Ci, however, still stood firmly where he was. "Do you want to come in with me, or stay outside?"
Murong Yun thought for a moment and said, "This is originally my family's business. As the eldest grandson, I cannot escape. Master Jiang, I want to go in!"
Jiang Ci looked at him admiringly and patted him on the back.
Murong Yun suddenly felt that the unprecedented terrifying pressure seemed to fade, and he was able to walk again.
"Master Jiang, you..."
Jiang Ci smiled and stepped into the forbidden area.
Murong Yun hurriedly followed, looking at her small figure from behind, and suddenly understood why his grandfather trusted her so much.
It turns out that he is a big boss who never shows his face!
The forbidden area was covered with layers of talisman paper on all sides.
Most of the talisman papers have been burnt black, and the few remaining pieces are crumbling and may break at any time.
There was a soul-catching bell on the altar, which was still ringing, extremely sharp and piercing.
Wisps of resentment kept bubbling out, and perhaps it sensed someone coming in, the black energy condensed into a ghost face and spoke to the two of them.
"revenge!"
