Chapter 755 Wooden Box
Ugh, so disgusting!
Fang Ye refused to enter at first, but after thinking about the rewards for the side quest, he jumped into the crack without hesitation, and disappeared with a pop...
After experiencing an indescribable feeling of slippery weightlessness, Fang Ye's body suddenly lightened. It turned out that he had passed through the crack.
After his feet stepped on the solid ground, he looked carefully and found that there was a winding and closed passage in front of him.
"Are you okay?" Master Chachai's voice came to his ears.
"I'm fine, but I feel a little bad. It's like I was sliding in the intestines of a monster just now!" Fang Ye smiled bitterly.
Chachai smiled slightly: "Your analogy is indeed quite appropriate. The entrance to the Valley of Thousand Corpses is called Kakuka in ancient Hui language, which means the devil's gate..."
"Stop, stop, stop it quickly, or I'm going to vomit!" Fang Ye was regretting it so much now. Why didn't he add a layer of spiritual armor to his body when he jumped into the crack just now...
"Since everything is okay, let's go." Master Chachai held up a torch and walked in front. After Fang Ye calmed down, he followed.
The walls on both sides of the passage are uneven and have layers of overlapping folds. They look a bit like the wall of the large intestine. When Fang Ye thought of this, his stomach began to churn again. He had to try to divert his attention: "By the way, Master, when I entered the village last night, I saw a white face on the sacred tree, but it disappeared very quickly. What was the reason?"
"White face?" Master Chachai said slowly, "That should be a poor victim. He must have offended the sacred tree, so he was swallowed by the tree!"
Fang Ye asked again: "Oh? Then what kind of behavior can be regarded as an offense?"
"Scraping the bark with a knife, peeing under the tree, or stealing branches and leaves, etc., these are all blasphemies to the sacred tree!" Master Chachai said lightly.
Fang Ye looked doubtful: "Then what we did just now, climbing up and down, is it not an offense?"
"Of course not, because I have already approved it with the sacred tree, climbing trees is allowed."
Can people negotiate with trees? I don't believe you...
Fang Ye curled his lips in disdain, then reached out and touched the wall of the cave, and found that its temperature was actually cold, in stark contrast to the tree itself!
He asked curiously: "Master, did the sacred tree tell you why its trunk is so hot? Could it have a fever?"
"Since it is a sacred tree, it must have its special features." Master Chachai replied, "The tree trunk is hot after dark, and I don't know the reason."
Fang Ye didn't stop there and simply asked out all the other questions in his mind: "What are those things wandering around the village every night?"
Master Chachai asked back: "Didn't Song Mutica tell you?"
"Yes, are they really evil ghosts patrolling the night?"
"Even if they are not evil spirits, they are still the dead who are still attached to the human world. That's why the name of Muliang Village came from..."
Fang Ye was very dissatisfied with the other party's vague words. When he was about to continue asking questions, Master Chachai suddenly stopped and he almost bumped into him.
"What's wrong, Master?"
"We are here. This is the entrance to the valley." Master Chachai said expressionlessly.
Fang Ye looked up and saw that the passage ahead had come to an end, and the color of the cave wall was much darker than before.
Ugh, so disgusting!

He asked curiously: "Master, did the sacred tree tell you why its trunk is so hot? Is it having a fever?"
"Since it is a sacred tree, it must have its special features." Master Chachai replied, "The heat of the tree trunk is a unique phenomenon after dark, and I don't know the reason."
Fang Ye decided to go all out and simply asked out all the other questions in his mind: "What are these things wandering around the village every night?"
Master Chachai asked back: "Didn't Song Mutica tell you?"
"Yes, are they really patrolling ghosts?"
"Even if they are not ghosts, they are the dead who linger in the world. This is the origin of the name of Muliang Village..."
Fang Ye was very dissatisfied with the other party's vague words. When he was about to continue asking questions, Master Chachai suddenly stopped and he almost bumped into him.
"What's wrong, Master?"
"We are here. This is the entrance to the valley." Master Chachai said expressionlessly.
Fang Ye looked up and saw that the passage in front of him had come to an end, and the color of the cave wall was much darker than before.
He wondered, "Master, this place should not be called the entrance to the valley. Isn't it more appropriate to call it a dead end?" Master
Chachai did not answer, but took out a small clay Buddha statue from the sleeve of his yellow robe.
Fang Ye was moved by what he saw: "Master, what is the origin of this Buddha statue? I have seen it several times."
Master Chachai said in a daze: "It is the incarnation of the sacred tree. Its Dharma name is Shi Nilong. It has also been the guardian of Muliang for hundreds of years!"
Fang Ye suddenly realized that it was no wonder that every household worshipped it. It turned out to be because of this reason.
Master Chachai held the Buddha statue in his hand, chanting something in his mouth, and strode to the end of the passage. Then Fang Ye saw an incredible scene.
The wall at the end melted away quickly like ice and snow, and soon formed a large hole that could allow people to pass through, revealing a huge black door made of piled bones behind it!
The lighting distance of the torch is limited. With the naked eye, you can't see how big the space behind the huge door is. Master Chachai put away the Buddha statue and then inserted the torch beside the huge door.
Fang Ye was most concerned about his side quests. He couldn't help but ask, "Master, where is Tang Wenjin's remaining soul?"
"It's inside." Master Chachai pointed to the huge black door and said,
"You mean, his remaining soul is sealed in the door?"
Master Chachai nodded, "Not bad."
Fang Ye asked again, "Then how do I get it out?"
"Very simple, just like this." Master Chachai rolled up his sleeves and suddenly put his hand into the open mouth of a skeleton, which made Fang Ye feel cold!
After beating the drum for a while, he finally took out a small wooden box from it.
Fang Ye looked carefully. The pattern of the wooden box was exactly the same as the leather drum in the video, and it was obviously a part of it!
Cha Chai said, "Tang Wenjin's remaining soul is in the box."
Fang Ye asked again, "Then how
can we return it to its original owner?" "It's very simple, just open it." Cha Chai said expressionlessly, "There is a small switch at the bottom of the box. After pressing it, the remaining soul inside will return to its owner's body."
"Is it so magical?" Fang Ye was skeptical, but he still turned the box over according to the instructions, and sure enough, he found a concave switch at the bottom.
Seeing him reaching out for the switch, a glimmer of joy suddenly flashed across Chachai's eyes...
Just as the switch was about to be pressed, Fang Ye suddenly stopped: "Wait a minute!"
Chachai's heart trembled, but he still pretended to be calm: "Any other questions?"
"Let me confirm again, as long as you press it, the residual soul will be able to return to Tang Wenjin by itself?"
"Yes, it will return to its place automatically."
"Can you ensure that it won't go to other places to visit? It won't get lost?"
Chachai's mouth twitched slightly, but he still said calmly: "Of course not, the residual soul and the main soul are originally connected to each other, and the return can be completed in an instant. It's just because I put a forbidden spell on the box, so it remains separated."
"Okay, I'll believe you this time!"
Fang Ye decisively pressed the switch after he finished speaking. The box snapped open, and a faint black smoke flew out. It was as fast as lightning, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest "One Thread of Remnant Soul". Reward: Psychic Weapon Glass Break * 1, Reward: Skill Upgrade Points * 5, the current total points are 17!"
After hearing the pleasant voice of the system, Fang Ye was about to show a happy expression on his face, but who knew that something strange happened!
Countless almost transparent white silk suddenly shot out from the opened wooden box, and in a blink of an eye, he was tied up tightly!
Hahahahahahahahahaha…
After seeing Fang Ye being restrained, Master Chachai let out an unbridled laugh…
