"This place is too weird. Let's leave first and come back with Fang Yuan tomorrow!"
Tantai Ghost Guard's hands and feet were trembling, he grabbed Chen Xin and ran towards the exit with large strides.
They were in the hall of the tomb. It was only because the earth's crust was thinning and the ceiling was cracked that they were allowed to go straight to Huanglong. At this time, they could naturally go out the way they came from the tomb.
"Ah! Brother Zhan, look!"
However, when the two of them arrived at the entrance of the passage, Chen Xin pointed to a stone tablet and looked pale.
"What the hell!"
When Tantai Ghost Guard took a look, cold sweat fell from his forehead.
The words on the stone tablet are very simple. Basically, there is a "name" sealed in it that should not exist in the world. This person is the ancestor of the Tantai family. Because he did a big mistake, his name was also cursed.
Everyone who sees or hears that name will die!
Originally, as soon as you entered the tomb, you could see this warning, and there was a cover on the spiritual place, so at least the Tantai Ghost Guard would not be attacked rashly.
But he and Chen Xin were unlucky enough not to enter from the right path, so they didn't see the warning.
"What should I do? I don't want to die!"
Chen Xin kept crying and wanted to forget about that spiritual place, but the more she thought about it, the stroke after stroke was deeply imprinted in her mind, and it became clearer and clearer.
"I understand... people from Wugui Village, why are they like this..."
Tantai Ghost Guard suddenly realized: "They came to carry the funerary objects, and they also saw the spirit tablet, and were cursed... In fact, they may have died more than once."
Chen Xin was excited and knew the whole story.
One day in the past, the mountain collapsed and the tomb was revealed.
The villagers of Wugui Village were greedy and came together en masse, ignoring the warnings and triggering the unspeakable curse!
At night, the curse breaks out and they are killed one by one.
Even, because of the existence of time distortion, death is far from the end, but being cursed to death once a day, like an endless painful reincarnation!
But a few of them, without knowing it, stepped into this... circular curse that lasted for who knows how long!
…
At the same time, in Fenggui Village.
"That taboo that cannot be said is a name?"
Fang Yuan looked at Aunt Donghua who had regained her memory, with a thoughtful look on her face.
The triggering criteria for monster-level curses are indeed very strange. Sometimes, it may be just a name or even a picture!
"But if it's just a name, how many people with the same name and surname are there in this world? Wouldn't it be that the world has been in chaos for a long time? Therefore, there must be other restrictions, such as... a specific region?"
This can also explain why the Tantai family had to move as a whole family. It definitely had painful experiences and lessons.
He looked at the mother and son in front of him with some pity.
How many times have they experienced such curses and death? Moreover, because of the memory seal, I will not feel numb, I will only feel the strongest despair and terror every day!
"tell me!"
Fang Yuan said directly: "Tell me the name and your fears!"
At this time, he may not be able to overcome even the monster-level time and space curse. He is about to try his own best to find the source of the curse!
"How could this happen? After all, it might be something harmful to others..."
Aunt Donghua looked pale, and the memory seal this afternoon really frightened her.
"If you don't say anything now, it may be too late to save your son!"
Fang Yuan smiled: "You think about it yourself!"
In fact, there was no need to consider it at all. Aunt Donghua was not related to him, and her initial stoppage was just out of conscience, but in front of her son, the balance immediately tilted.
"Okay... I'll tell you, that name!"
Aunt Donghua gritted her teeth.
"Monk, do you listen?"
Fang Yuan turned his head and stared at the monk with interest.
"Amitabha... If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?" Jingse Monk Baoxiang solemnly said: "What's more... the poor monk has already fallen into this curse and has been unable to get rid of it for a long time."
"Yes, this is how you look like a monk."
Fang Yuan nodded and looked at Aunt Donghua.
"In that ancient tomb, there is an ancestral hall. The top tablet in the ancestral hall is the cursed name. It was originally covered by iron chains and curtains, but the village chief thought he was hiding something good and specially opened it. Saw it…”
Aunt Donghua fell into memories: "That name... I remember, it was... Tantai... Moye!"
"As expected, he is from the Tantai family..."
Fang Yuan and Monk Jise looked at each other, neither feeling much surprised.
"Tantai Moye?"
Fang Yuan chewed on the name, and suddenly, his spiritual sense radiated out, and he had a slight connection with the source of the curse.
"That spiritual position is just a catalyst, not the root of the curse... The real root is probably hidden in the cracks of time and space..."
He also knew why his previous detection failed to truly grasp the root cause.
Because this time the curse body is not in an alien plane, but anywhere on the axis of time and space!
At this time, the outside fell into dead silence again.
"It seems that the group's memory seal has been lifted and the curse has begun again..."
Fang Yuan sighed, put on his black robe, his eyes glowed with golden light, and his hands turned purple-black, showing his full combat power.
After all, it is a curse involving time and space. Even among monster-level curses, it is considered top-notch.
"And... what does this curse have to do with the reincarnation that the Tantai family is burdened with?"
While thinking, he took a step forward, and a black chain was already wrapped around Goudan and Aunt Donghua.
Their souls were bound, and the two people's expressions were frightened at first, and then turned dull.
"No wonder I thought there was something wrong with them at first! It turns out that they have died too many times, and they are neither human nor ghosts!"
Another mystery was solved, but Fang Yuan's expression became more solemn.
The keen perception, and the faint connection formed after knowing the name, made him aware that a terrifying existence... was coming!
"Amitabha, don't worry, Aunt Donghua, Goudan will be fine..."
Monk Jingse was about to say a few words of comfort when suddenly his expression changed!
Because Aunt Donghua’s hand had already penetrated his chest!
"The Great Compassionate Bodhisattva, the mighty heavenly dragon, Wow!"
The monk's eyes widened, as if he had turned into a glaring King Kong, and a halo of light appeared on his body.
Boom! Boom!
The two chains collapsed straight, and two evil ghosts were restrained at the ends!
"Um?"
Fang Yuan looked over and saw that at some point, Aunt Donghua and Goudan had turned dull, their hands were blue and purple, and their nails had grown long, completely turning into ghosts.
"They were human beings one second, and turned into ghosts the next? There were no signs at all... No, no, they were already dead when they were cursed for the first time."
Fang Yuan's thoughts whirled and he looked at Jiese again: "Monk... are you okay?"
"You can't die yet!"
The abstaining monk took out the packet of medicinal powder and applied it tremblingly on his wounds, looking as if he was full of energy.
If Fang Yuan hadn't restricted him just now, the two evil ghosts who had suddenly attacked might have ripped out his heart!
Woohoo!
At this moment, a lot of noise came from outside the yard.
Fang Yuan's thoughts moved and he immediately saw many ghosts.
These are the appearance of the villagers during the day, but at night, they collectively turned into ghosts. Under the leadership of the old village chief, they tremblingly surrounded the yard.
"Fenggui Village... now it really lives up to its name!"
A sneer appeared on Fang Yuan's face: "But do you think I will be afraid of such a huge wave of ghosts?"
Whizzing!
Many chains spread from his body like spider webs, forming a defense.
And his eyes instantly turned into black holes, projecting light as bright as stars from them.
"Soul...harvest!"
Behind him, a huge black figure appeared, holding a weapon like a sickle, and swung it violently!
Many ghosts paused for a moment, with anthropomorphic expressions of fear appearing on their dull faces.
Immediately, part of the body leaked out like sand and disappeared... only skeletons were left.
The originally illusory soul shadows emerged and disappeared into the black hole one after another.
"Amitabha!"
Just as monk Jingse put his hands together and wanted to recite the Purana Sutra several times, the surrounding scene changed again.
A layer of mist emerged, and in the mist, everything began to flow backwards. The dissipated evil ghosts quickly condensed, as if... time was turned back again!
…
"quick!"
On the periphery, Tantai Ghost Guard pulled Chen Xin and ran towards Fenggui Village quickly.
"This curse will never allow anyone to escape... In fact, it deliberately let us get lost before, because it was a trap to let us see that name!"
Tantai Ghost Guard quickly analyzed: "Escape from the outside at this time is a dead end. Only in Fenggui Village, there is still a glimmer of hope!"
Sure enough, as the two of them ran wildly, under the moonlight, the quiet Fenggui Village came into view.
"As long as we find Fang Yuan, we still have a chance to survive!"
Tantai Ghost Guard said loudly, and suddenly, the mask on his face squeaked and a black gap opened.
"What?"
He stopped in great shock: "My... mask can't withstand this curse?"
The reason why they were able to stay safe along the way was definitely not because of the curse, but because of the protection of the mask.
But now, their biggest reliance is slowly losing its effectiveness.
"Don't worry, Chen Xin, I won't let you die!"
Tantai Ghost Guard cut his palm open again. Although he didn't know how much effect his blood could have, it was still better than nothing.
"Brother Zhan... thank you... I have always..."
After experiencing various things, Chen Xin was crying and ready to say something.
But suddenly, everything was empty.
She was shocked to find that she was back around the tomb, but the Tantai Ghost Guard was nowhere to be seen.
Darkness spread, and a deep despair descended on her heart: "No!!!"
