I was stunned when I heard that.
The difficulty of constructing a [Spirit Trapping Formation] and the number of deaths involved are well-documented and need no further explanation.
Since the other party went through so much trouble to set up this nearly complete [Yin Spirit Trapping Array], why would they be willing to destroy it in order to save me?
Then we'll have to go through all sorts of trouble and painstaking efforts to rebuild it from scratch.
Could it be because he suddenly had a change of heart?
Do people who create evil formations like the [Yin Spirit Trapping Formation] even have a conscience?
I flicked my cigarette ash: "I know what you want to ask, but to be honest, I don't know who he is or why he helped me."
The plump proprietress remained silent, her eyes fixed on me, as if she could see right through me.
Half a minute later, she finally asked, "So what did he say to you?"
I recounted what happened: "He was wearing a hat, and his whole body was hidden in the darkness, so I could only see his outline. I didn't know what he looked like or how old he was, but I could tell from his voice that he was a man."
After I finished speaking, I asked her in return, "You've never seen that person either?"
The plump proprietress seemed to have thought of something, and her body trembled slightly.
I could clearly feel the fear emanating from her.
Her voice trembled slightly: "I don't know, I haven't seen a single person."
"After I said goodbye to my senior, I felt something attacking me, and I couldn't even fight back."
"That person's cultivation is as deep as a mountain; I don't even have the courage to resist."
"Then I turned into this ghostly state, and he brought me here. After that, he went to find the next place to set up the formation."
I was stunned for a moment: "There's another one?"
The plump proprietress shook her head: "I don't know either. I've been guarding this place for him for so many years, and I still don't understand what he's trying to do. But I know that the [Spirit Trapping Array]'s function is definitely not just about trapping a person or a malevolent spirit. Its actual use is..."
Before she could finish speaking, a strange bell rang out.
The bell tolled at a steady pace, one chime after another.
But each sound felt like a giant iron hammer pounding against my heart.
The plump proprietress clutched her chest in agony, rolling on the ground in pain, frantically clutching her heart.
The force was so great that it ripped her clothes open, revealing her terrifying body.
My heart was pounding wildly, making the surrounding skin and flesh tremble slightly.
I quickly asked him, "What's wrong?"
The plump proprietress managed to squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth: "Immortal...Immortal...Joy."
That's right, it's the Taoist "Immortal Joy"!
When I was a child, I often heard my grandfather sing this song, as well as "The Curse of Plague".
I didn't feel anything when I heard it, but the plump proprietress, who was a [bound spirit], couldn't stand it.
I watched helplessly as her heart beat faster and faster, gradually aligning with the rhythm of the bells.
When two objects vibrate at the same or similar frequencies, the vibration of one object will cause the vibration of the other object to vibrate. This phenomenon is called resonance.
For example.
If a person emits a sound at the same frequency as the resonant frequency of a glass, and the volume is loud enough, the glass may break due to excessive vibration.
If the fat landlady's heart couldn't keep up with this frequency, it would explode like a glass.
As the pace of the bell-ringing version of "Fairy Tale" quickened, the plump landlady became increasingly distressed.
She began vomiting large gulps of black water, which was full of wriggling maggots.
In the end, even his eyes, nose, and mouth were oozing black liquid, and his skin aged rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he turned white-haired, and the flesh on his face looked as if it had been drained, shriveled and stuck to his bones.
Her skin was becoming translucent.
I knew that if this continued, she would be completely destroyed.
I turned around and pounded on the door of the storage room, but the sound of my knocking was insignificant compared to the sound of the bell, and could not drown out the noise coming from outside.
Just then, I caught a glimpse of the shelf next to me out of the corner of my eye.
I tried to push the shelf over to make a noise, but I couldn't budge it.
Just as the plump proprietress was on the verge of losing her mind, a piercing ringtone suddenly sounded.
My alarm clock went off at 11:50.
As the alarm clock rang, the plump proprietress seemed to feel much better, and her heartbeat didn't seem to be as fast.
As soon as I saw that it worked, I quickly turned my phone volume up to the maximum.
When the song reached its most exciting part, the oppressive feeling brought by the tolling bells outside vanished without a trace, as if nothing had ever happened.
However, the fat proprietress's condition did not improve; it only slowed down the rate at which her body became transparent.
Before long, she will disappear from the world.
"What exactly is the actual function of the [Yin Spirit Trapping Formation]?" I asked hastily, fearing she might disappear at any moment.
“New…new life!” The plump proprietress managed to utter the two words with difficulty.
newborn?
I wanted to ask more questions, but the plump proprietress suddenly grabbed her still wildly beating heart, her face contorted in pain, and she cried out.
Then, she let out an extremely shrill scream, and to my astonishment, she used all her strength to forcefully pull her heart out of her chest and hand it to me.
I was completely stunned.
this……
I just asked a question, you don't have to lay your heart bare before me, I didn't say I didn't believe you.
I watched as the heart trembled slightly in her hand and beat twice before gradually ceasing its rhythm.
The vibrant red color quickly faded, turning dull and lifeless.
At this moment, the plump proprietress's body became increasingly transparent.
I could even vaguely see through her forehead to the floor behind her.
Her breath was weak, and she stammered, "Take...take my heart, and keep walking north, and...you'll get out."
"When...when you need my help, ignite my heart. There's only one chance."
After she finished speaking, her body began to emit a soft light, and she became more and more transparent. Her body floated up gently, like a wisp of smoke about to drift away with the wind.
Holding her lifeless heart in my hands, I felt a sudden headache.
Is this thing a bit too big? Can we get a smaller one?
For example, the eyeball.
Just as she was about to float into the air and transform into countless stars, I hurriedly asked loudly, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Her body had gradually turned into tiny specks of light, each the size of a grain of rice.
Amidst the flickering light, a light, airy voice drifted over: "Find...find my senior brother Xuan Qingyi. He's at the Lingxiao Sect...tell him that Shuyao never blamed him..."
Before she could finish speaking, the plump proprietress vanished completely into the air, leaving only faint traces of light to prove that she had once existed.
