Chapter 120 Soul Locking Formation
Qiu Tingxu was somewhat puzzled and asked, "He is so powerful, why can't he do anything with this magic circle? Is there anything in this magic circle that can defeat him?"
Nie Jianxi squatted down to observe the entire magic circle and found that the six nails were engraved with complicated runes, and blood stains that had long since oxidized and turned black were attached to them, which was strange and incomprehensible.
"These six are soul-locking nails soaked in his blood. He can't destroy them himself."
He looked at the crisscrossed ropes again, "These are bone-binding ropes, which assist the soul-locking nails in locking the bones, and have the effect of binding the soul and transferring it."
"I guess there's blood of Xu Shiming on this bone-binding rope."
"Ruan Qingzhou should have had an extremely good fate and fortune, but it was ruined by this formation. Someone wanted to take away his fate and fortune."
Ruan Qingzhou floated to his side and praised him: "Hey, you young man know a lot."
Nie Jianxi didn't look at him, but continued to speculate: "The person who made this formation also arranged an evil ghost to guard the formation. It was this ghost who killed people at the beginning."
"More and more people died in this villa, and it became hard to tell which ghosts were killing people."
Qiu Tingxu then asked him: "Then how do we destroy this formation? Will it have any effect on him if we destroy it directly?"
Nie Jianxi reached out and touched the soul-locking nail, only to see Ruan Qingzhou shudder, and the evil spirit in his body dissipated, and it was obvious that the impact was huge.
"It definitely has an effect. The six soul-locking nails are soaked with blood from his head, limbs, and heart. Every time one is pulled out, he will feel excruciating pain."
"But it's better than him doing it himself. If he does it by force, his soul will be torn to pieces."
As he said this, he looked at Qiu Tingxu and said, "When I remove the soul-locking nail later, try to touch his bones and see what happened twenty years ago."
Ruan Qingzhou interrupted: "What do you mean? Have humans evolved to this point? Can they read memories?"
Nie Jianxi glanced at him and said calmly, "If you try to hide it yourself, don't blame us for getting it directly."
Ruan Qingzhou didn't have any objection. "Twenty years have passed. I've been staying in this damn villa every day. Apart from remembering who to hate, I can't remember many details."
"You guys can watch it if you want. It would be best if the person who hurt me can be brought to justice. Otherwise, I will go find him and seek revenge in person. But I don't want to be contaminated by karma. I still want to have another life."
Nie Jianxi: "Don't worry, this formation has backlash. When it is destroyed, the person who stole your luck will also suffer great harm."
Ruan Qingzhou grinned: "As long as he is not dead, I will not be relieved."
Nie Jianxi: "It's just a matter of time."
As he said this, he stretched out his hand to pull out those soul-locking nails. As soon as his hand touched them, a cool feeling came straight towards them.
Accompanied by the ghost's peculiar sharp sound shaking in the basement, a ghost wrapped in a sinister and gloomy aura rushed in from the basement corridor.
"Who dares to touch that formation?"
Although Ruan Qingzhou felt uncomfortable all over, he still appeared in front of the ball of evil energy in the next second, stretched out his hand and grabbed a handsome male ghost from it.
She pinched his neck and got close to him: "So what if I moved? Can you still stop me? Lu Lin, you have been a guard dog for twenty years, isn't that enough?"
There was an ominous aura flowing from Lu Lin's body, and his whole face looked abnormal.
He seemed to have devoured a lot of other ghosts, and the negative energy on his body felt different from time to time, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, or struggling to escape.
Ruan Qingzhou smiled and leaned close to his face, seemingly intimate but actually sarcastic: "Did you swallow all the ghosts up there?"
"Tell me, why do you do so many things for him? Has he ever come to see you in the past twenty years?"
The handsome ghost stared at him with an expression of resentment and hatred: "What do you care! I volunteered to stay here to guard you and make you suffer forever. What, you finally can't bear it anymore? Want to escape?"
Ruan Qingzhou chuckled: "Do you think I'm as stubborn as you? I'm annoyed to see you killing people every day. He asked you to guard the formation, but he also wanted you to never leave this villa. What are you so proud of?"
The handsome ghost's expression was distorted, and it was obvious that he was going crazy from being locked up here.
He glared at the uninvited guests with sinister eyes and said angrily: "The barrier outside was almost broken, and I was almost free. It's all because of these people!"
"Why did you come here? It's just to kill a few greedy people. Is it worth all the trouble?"
Nie Jianxi tried to pull it out for a long time but failed, so he gave up the option of pulling it out himself and looked at Wen Lang with a calm look.
"You are strong, come and try it."
Wen Lang was shocked. "So this can be destroyed by sheer strength? It's a bit disillusioning. Doesn't it require breaking a formation or something?"
Nie Jianxi: "If the Soul Locking Nail is removed, it will be broken by half. If I burn the Bone Binding Rope, this formation will basically be useless."
Qiu Tingxu interrupted: "Then why did you use copper coins to destroy the formation last time at South Bridge?"
Nie Jianxi explained: "Different arrays have different solutions. Last time, the copper coins were mainly used to destroy the bones at the center of the array. This time, we don't need to destroy the bones, so there is no need to use copper coins. Copper coins are also limited, so generally when we destroy the array and kill the ghosts, we try to be as simple and rough as possible."
Qiu Tingxu was full of admiration, "This is too casual, can I pull it out too?"
Nie Jianxi nodded: "The evil ghosts guarding the formation can't stop it, anyone can pull it out, except Ruan Qingzhou himself."
Ruan Qingzhou's hand, which was pinching the evil ghost's neck, suddenly tightened a little, as he felt stimulated.
"Thank you for once again making me realize the reality that I am not free."
The ghost whose neck he was strangling was unable to even perform the simple operation of transforming into a ball of black mist in his hands, and he gritted his teeth.
"You can obviously beat me, so why have you allowed me to kill those people for the past twenty years?"
Ruan Qingzhou swung him around lazily, "Ah, I did it on purpose. If I stop you, who will find out that there is a ghost in this villa? Who will save me?"
"Besides, I didn't ask you to kill these people. Are you trying to pass on the blame now?"
There was a red glow in the ghost's eyes, and he looked very ferocious. He struggled for a long time but couldn't get free.
"Oh, didn't you always claim to be a gentleman? You couldn't bear to see others suffer before, but how come after you died you could watch ordinary people being killed by me?"
Ruan Qingzhou squeezed him hard again, causing his body to collapse. He smiled and said, "How dare you say such things to me?"
At this moment, Ruan Qingzhou's whole body suddenly twitched. The severe pain seemed to come from the depths of his soul, causing him to let go of his hands and roll on the ground with his hands holding his head.
“Ahhh! It hurts! It hurts so much…”
He cried out in pain and cursed: "Fuck, before you pulled out the nails... could you have said something in advance?"
Wen Lang looked at the nail in his hand and said foolishly: "Aren't we always pulling out nails..."
