After hearing what Geng Xi said, Uncle Mu shut his mouth immediately, obviously afraid of Geng Xi's threat.
Although Tang Ning could not understand what the two were saying, he could vaguely sense from their conversation that Geng Xi and Mu Shu were hiding something, the contract and Chi Chi Jing.
The contract is the connection between Gu Ren and Gengxi, and Chi Chi Jing can allow people to see their past and present lives.
Gengxi wants to establish contact with you and wants you to see your past and present lives. Is there any entanglement between you and Gengxi in your past or present life
"Tangning, don't you want to go see what your boyfriend is hiding from you?" Uncle Mu said, "What you do day and night—"
"Shut up." Geng Xi interrupted Uncle Mu in a cold voice. His handsome face seemed to be shrouded in coldness. However, when Geng Xi looked at Tang Ning, his mood softened unconsciously, like solid ice turning into fine snow.
As Tang Ning looked at him in confusion and nervousness, Geng Xi said softly, "Xiao Ning, if you are ready, I will take you to Chi Chi Well."
Tang Ning recalled Geng Xi's attitude before. The other party had always said that he would tell him everything when the time was right. Could it be that the way to tell him was to take him to Chi Chi Well
Tang Ning's mind was in a mess, and he tried to sort out his thoughts.
Uncle Mu wanted everyone to go to Chi Chi Well. On the surface, the reason was to let everyone see the past life entanglement between the evil ghost and everyone to prove that what he said was true. However, Tang Ning guessed that the real reason was that Uncle Mu wanted everyone to see Chi Chi Well without any preparation.
The state of being unprepared should be the state of not falling in love with Gengxi.
Gengxi thought that the right time was when they fell in love with each other, but Tangning didn't have much feelings for Gengxi at the moment, which seemed to be the reason why Gengxi kept delaying.
What bad consequences will it cause if you don’t watch it at the right time
Tangning asked Gengxi this question. Gengxi stared at her for a long time and whispered, "Maybe you will never love again."
After hearing this reason, Tangning was stunned.
The consequence is, no longer going to Ai Gengxi
Did Gengxi do something bad that made me no longer love Gengxi after watching this
If Gengxi is a snake, does it mean that he wants to kill Gengxi in despair because he is sure that he no longer loves him
The current situation between us maintains a delicate balance. If we do something to break this balance, it is better not to do it.
Tangning immediately typed to Gengxi, "Then let's not go and watch it now."
The most important task for a player is to resolve the crisis brought by ghosts. If the ghosts can be sent back to their hometowns, they will get a good task score. There is no need to be curious about what happened in the well.
"How come young people don't have any curiosity at all?" Uncle Mu said dissatisfiedly: "If we don't go to Chi Chi Well, I don't really want to help you solve the problem."
Tang Ning didn't expect Uncle Mu to be so open about it. Du Feng, who was standing beside Uncle Mu, couldn't help but say, "Let's go to Chi Chi Well and take a look. Tang Ning, aren't you curious about your past life?"
This is not the real Tang Ning in this copy. The present life portrayed in this game is also the original Tang Ning’s present life, and it is estimated that the previous life was also the original Tang Ning’s previous life.
Tang Ning was not too curious about the past and present life of an NPC.
Typing asked Du Feng: "Why do you want to find Chi Chi Well so much?"
Du Feng said without hesitation: "Because I really want to go to Chi Chi Well to see this life! To see what happened when I was rescued."
Tangning didn't care about this and instead typed, "Can we really get rid of these evil spirits if we send them back to their homeland?"
This method was told by Du Feng and Uncle Mu, but Tang Ning now suspected that Du Feng and Uncle Mu were of the same kind, so he wanted to get Geng Xi's confirmation.
Gengxi nodded.
"Can't we use the same method we used to deal with Qin Jiaqi to deal with those evil spirits following us?" Tang Ning asked. If possible, he could ask Du Feng and Geng Xi for help.
Before Geng Xi could answer, Uncle Mu said, "As a Gu person devours evil spirits, his ferocity only grows, and the human nature left behind becomes less and less. If a Gu person devours so many evil spirits, then he is a complete Gu, without the human character."
Du Feng at the side asked blankly: "A Gu man?" He looked at Uncle Mu and said in shock: "You have a Gu man?!"
It was obvious from the look on his face that Du Feng didn't know that he was a Gu master.
Uncle Mu ignored Du Feng and said to Tangning meaningfully, "The only way is to let those things return to their homeland."
Tang Ning's heart sank.
Du Feng and Geng Xi didn't want to see someone without humanity.
"We must go to see the Chi Chi Well first. Are you willing to take us to drive the corpses?" Lin Yun asked.
Uncle Mu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether you want to go and see it or not. I just want Tangning to go and see it."
Everyone was in a stalemate at this moment.
Uncle Mu wanted to take Tang Ning to see the Chi Chi Well, but Uncle Mu didn't have the ability to find the Chi Chi Well, only Geng Xi had it.
Gengxi didn't want to take Tang Ning to see the Chi Chi Well right now, but Gengxi had no way to get rid of the evil spirits that were haunting Tang Ning and his friends. If he wanted to use the method of Gu Ren to get rid of those evil spirits, it would inevitably damage Gengxi's humanity.
Tang Ning and his players only wanted to get rid of those evil spirits and did not have much interest in Chi Chi Jing.
At this time, Lin Yun said, "How about this, you lead us to find the body first, and you can keep the body. When you bring us to the burial site, you can give the body to Zeng Yishuang, and we can persuade Tang Ning to go with you to see the Chi Chi Well."
Tang Ning looked at Lin Yun with some confusion. Lin Yun whispered to Tang Ning, "Go to Chi Chi Well, calm us down, and bury all those things with Zeng Yishuang. If I'm not mistaken, once all those things are buried, we can end this early."
Ending early means clearing the dungeon early, a term used by players that NPCs can't understand, so it doesn't make any sense to the uncles.
Tang Ning's eyes lit up and he nodded.
Uncle Mu thought for a moment and said to Tang Ning, "This is fine, but you have to sign a blood pact with it. If you regret it, you will be retaliated. This contract also has constraints on you."
Tang Ning glanced at Geng Xi and found that Geng Xi did not refute Uncle Mu's words. After hesitating for a moment, he agreed to Uncle Mu's suggestion.
Uncle Mu pierced Tang Ning's fingertip with a needle and took a drop of blood from Tang Ning. He then took blood from his own body and fed it and Tang Ning's blood to a reddish-brown worm.
After doing all this, the car parked on the side of the road started again.
The driver this time was not Lin Yun, but the taxi driver.
When driving the vehicle, the bus is not only very fast, but also extremely stable, as if it is flying.
There was not much sunset light on the road at this time. Because of the reduced light, Tang Ning sat on the far left of the bus. Geng Xi also sat next to Tang Ning. Du Feng sat behind Tang Ning, and Mu Shu sat in front of Tang Ning. Surrounded by three parties, Tang Ning felt unexpectedly calm.
When I first came to the dungeon, I was also sitting on a bus, and now I’m back to the beginning.
The bus was speeding up, at an incredible speed, as if it had covered half the distance in just a moment. Tang Ning felt dizzy, and a lychee candy was placed next to his mouth. Tang Ning raised his eyes and looked at Geng Xi who was sitting next to him.
He opened his mouth and held the candy.
In the time it took to finish a candy, the vehicle stopped, and we, who had been on the road a short while ago, arrived in the deep mountains and forests.
The car door opened automatically at this moment, and a cold wind blew in from outside. The players' faces changed slightly, and no one chose to get out of the car immediately. Instead, they sat in the car cautiously and looked around. Tang Ning saw trees one by one and found that this forest was similar to the one Fang Mo saw in the video.
It seemed to be the forest that Uncle Mu once led the program crew to.
Uncle Mu rang the bell, and Chen Yan and Qin Jiaqi, who were wearing yellow talismans, stood up from their seats. Qin Jiaqi put her hand on Chen Yan's shoulder, and Chen Yan put his hand on Uncle Mu's shoulder.
"Get out of the car." Uncle Mu said slowly.
Chen Yan and Qin Jiaqi were the first to get out of the car. They did the same thing as Uncle Mu, as if an invisible bamboo pole had bound their limbs together. Uncle Mu lifted his left foot, and the two people behind him lifted their feet at the same time.
Tang Ning glanced at Geng Xi, and with Geng Xi's company, they got out of the car together.
The whistling sound of the wind blew through the woods, as if something was crying in the woods. Uncle Mu walked in front, Zeng Yishuang and Lin Yun walked in the middle, while Tang Ning and Geng Xi followed at the end.
After a while, Uncle Mu stopped under a tree and rang a bell. Chen Yan and Qin Jiaqi squatted on it and started digging the soil frantically.
One by one, they were stuck in the soil. The soil was extremely soft, as if it was soaked in blood. A strong stench of corpses came over them. Tang Ning saw the intertwined tree roots under the soil. When they dug the soil, the sound of the leaves shaking became louder and louder, as if the trees were expressing their pain.
After digging about a meter deep, the first corpse appeared, followed by the second and third.
The corpses were stacked on top of each other, their flesh had lost moisture and were unrecognizable. Each corpse was entangled by tree roots and became nutrients for the trees.
Uncle Mu took out a yellow talisman from his small bag. The talisman spontaneously combusted and ignited the tree roots in an instant.
"Woo, woo, woo~" The cold wind blew through the dense branches, making a shrill sound.
"What are you just standing there for? This fire can't burn a living person! Move quickly!" Uncle Mu shouted to the players standing aside.
The players reacted quickly and worked together to dig out the bodies. There were thirteen bodies in total. No one knew which body corresponded to which evil spirit that was following them. Uncle Mu controlled Chen Yan and Qin Jiaqi to carry the bodies and get on the car. After doing all this, there were a few more passengers in the car.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the surrounding scenery was swallowed up by the dark light. There was a vast expanse of fog outside, and on the far right side of the car sat a row of special passengers, their figures hidden in the darkness, and could not be seen clearly. The vague outlines did not show much sign of living people, but rather the spread of death.
Tangning only took a quick glance before looking away.
Although the windows in the car were closed, a cold wind was still blowing in the car.
The dim headlights came on, illuminating only the left side of the car. Tang Ning looked up and found that the headlights were emitting a faint green light.
The bus continued to drive in the darkness. Tang Ning looked at the increasingly thick fog outside the window. Even though it was daytime, he could not see the scenery outside through the thick fog. After an unknown amount of time, the bus finally stopped. In front of the bus stood a grave. This was where they were going to bury the evil spirit.
Uncle Mu got out of the car shaking the bell, followed by Chen Yan and Qin Jiaqi. Uncle Mu put the bell away, and the two players with talismans stuck on their heads just stood there.
"The part that has been completed, now it's time for you to go to Chi Chi Well with me." Uncle Mu said to Tang Ning.
Tangning glanced at Lin Yun nervously. Lin Yun whispered in her ear, "Walk slower."
"Try to bury it as quickly as possible."
There were only two of them, and burying thirteen bodies was a huge undertaking. Tang Ning took off her red wedding dress and handed it to Lin Yun.
Lin Yun was stunned, looking a little confused as to why Tang Ning gave her such an important life-saving item.
"You need it more than me." Tang Ning's throat was damaged and she couldn't speak, so these words were obviously more important to Lin Yun than anything else.
Lin Yun took the wedding dress and nodded seriously.
After a brief exchange with Lin Yun, Tang Ning looked at Du Feng and Uncle Mu who were already impatient, then glanced at Lin Yun who was desperately digging a hole behind him, took a deep breath, and walked towards Gengxi.
Geng Xi stretched out his hand, and a black-gold butterfly flew out from his sleeves.
It was a very beautiful butterfly, its wings emitting a faint light. Even in the dark, people could find its trace by the faint light.
As soon as the butterfly left Gengxi's body, it quickly flew into the foggy forest. Gengxi held Tang Ning's hand and led Tang Ning away from the grave into the forest. The moment they stepped into the woods, Tang Ning's body was surrounded by an increasingly deep chill.
The whole forest was indescribably weird. The pale moonlight penetrated the leafy treetops, but could not illuminate the green fog. A cold breath spread to every corner. Tang Ning took two steps and felt like he stepped on something. He paused and lowered his head stiffly, only to see bones left under his feet.
She didn't know if it was Tang Ning's illusion, but she felt that the bone had moved, as if it wanted to grab her ankle and drag her in.
Just when Tang Ning was feeling uneasy, a pair of leather shoes stepped on the bone that frightened Tang Ning. A crisp sound of bone breaking was heard, and Geng Xi hugged Tang Ning and walked steadily in the forest as he had done several times before.
It feels like I’m back to the feeling when I first walked up the stairs.
Just like that night after they followed Du Feng, Geng Xi walked back with him in his arms.
There were tall trees everywhere, and every tree was shaking and making rustling sounds, but the fog didn't change at all, and there was no wind in the air. This place was like a mass grave, dark, cold, and full of death.
Tang Ning smelled the unpleasant stench of a corpse and buried his face in Geng Xi's arms, trying hard to absorb the fragrance from Geng Xi's body.
Can Lin Yun and others really bury those bodies successfully
Will nothing happen to Chen Yan and Qin Jiaqi who have talismans attached to them
Is Zeng Yishuang, who has been following them, a human or a ghost? Why didn’t he hurt Lin Yun when they were about to succeed
Also, is Gengxi, who is in his arms, the prince to be saved, or the snake to be killed
Tang Ning closed his eyes, feeling exhausted. He felt a little tired and wanted to have a good sleep. He didn't know how long he had walked before Gengxi stopped. Tang Ning slowly raised his head and saw two stone statues appear in front of him. The statues were very short, only half a person's height, and were long and round. Half of them were buried in the soil, and the exposed upper half was carved with a strange human face.
The eyes of a human face, no nose, thin lips with one corner of the lip pursed downwards, and the other corner of the lip raised upwards. The body of the stone statue has nothing fancy, no clothes, just a straight vertical line.
These two stone statues are like guards guarding a secret place.
Tang Ning saw Lady Butterfly fly into the depths of the fog guarded by the stone statue. Uncle Mu and Du Feng chased the butterfly forward, while Geng Xi also walked up carrying Tang Ning.
Tang Ning, who had been pressing his face against Geng Xi's chest, heard the violent heartbeat.
If you just look at Gengxi's face, it's hard to imagine that the expressionless Gengxi is so nervous.
Everyone followed the butterfly to the stone well and saw the legendary strange stone well. There were particularly strange faces carved on the well. In addition to the ghost face, there were also golden roosters, the sun, butterflies and sunflowers.
This is the legendary Chi Chi Well!
The black and gold butterfly flew back to Geng Xi's sleeve. Geng Xi put Tang Ning down and did not approach the well immediately. He looked a little hesitant.
"You can go to the well alone or with a group of people. Whoever you stand in front of the well can see your and each other's past and present lives." Uncle Mu introduced.
"Then I'd like to go and take care of it with you first!" Du Feng said to Tang Ning excitedly.
Tang Ning didn't know what negative effects might come from shining a light on the well. He glanced at Du Feng who was eager to try, at Mu Shu who was wearing a bamboo hat, and at Geng Xi who was frowning.
Tang Ning is still not sure who the snake is. If Du Feng is the snake, then isn't this well the key prop that stimulates Du Feng's attack
Thinking of this, Tangning spoke with difficulty, "Let's take a photo together."
Since we don't know who is the prince and who is the snake, why not let everyone stand at the same starting line? As long as they are together, the prince can come to the rescue when the snake attacks.
After Tangning said this, everyone was stunned.
Do you want to take a photo of Chi Chi Well together
The other three people were stunned for a moment when they heard Tangning's suggestion. Du Feng was the first to agree with Tangning, "Ah, that's fine."
Uncle Mu and Gengxi still stayed where they were.
Tang Ning looked at Geng Xi. When their eyes met, Geng Xi also slowly walked up. Now only Uncle Mu was left.
“There’s no need to take a photo with you guys,” Uncle Mu tried to shirk.
"You come too." Geng Xi said coldly.
Under Gengxi's cold gaze, Uncle Mu came over reluctantly, and soon, they stood together by the foggy well.
According to legend, the ChiChi Well first reflects a person's present life, and then reflects that person's past life.
Although Tang Ning felt uneasy about the changes that the well would bring, he couldn't help but feel a little curious as he stood by the mysterious well.
Under their gaze, the stagnant water in the well, which had been shrouded in fog for many years, began to ripple, and the first scene of their personal entanglement in this life emerged in the well.
It was a river shrouded in fog.
Water splashes in the river.
The dark-skinned child kept struggling in the water, with a white hand tightly grasping his shoulder. Although the image emerging from the well water was not clear, it was still recognizable that it was the young Du Feng.
Du Feng stared at the one he had caught excitedly, "Tangning, did you save this?"
He paused, because it looked like it was being dragged underwater!
Rescuing people shouldn't be like this. Instead, the owner of the dog grabbed everything he could around him like a drowning person, and desperately tried to sink both the other person and himself into the water.
Two figures kept floating in the water. When the person with snow-white skin showed his face above the water, Tang Ning recognized it as Gengxi's face.
This is Gengxi when I was a child!
The person who drowned with Du Feng was Geng Xi!
Tang Ning suddenly turned around and looked at Geng Xi, and found that Geng Xi's expression was particularly solemn, as if he was extremely concerned about what was going to happen next.
Tang Ning lowered his head again and looked carefully at the scene in the well. He saw another familiar figure standing by the river. He was wearing green clothes and a bamboo hat. This was clearly Uncle Mu's outfit. There were clearly two children drowning in the river, but Uncle Mu was just watching coldly.
What exactly happened back then
Just when Tang Ning was full of doubts, he saw a figure appear by the river. It was another child who was led by the quietness in the water. His face was extremely similar to Tang Ning. It was Tang Ning when he was a child.
"It was you who saved me!" Du Feng, who was lying on the mouth of the well, said happily. Compared with the other three people surrounding the Chi Chi Well, Du Feng was the happiest one.
The young Tang Ning jumped into the water without hesitation. He first grabbed the dark one and wanted to drag Du Feng ashore. The drowning Du Feng was too exhausted to struggle and was hugged by Tang Ning. Little Tang Ning quickly sent Du Feng to the shore, and without stopping, he jumped into the water again and swam anxiously towards another drowning child, who was the young Gengxi.
Xiao Gengxi had a very strange expression on his face, and he kept twitching in the water. It seemed that there were gurgling bubbles squeezed into his clothes, which kept puffing them out.
The moment little Tangning rushed forward to hug him, the swollen clothes seemed to be unable to bear it and tore apart, and a pitch-black python emerged from the pale flesh.
This is a snake that is parasitic on Gengxi!
Tang Ning was stunned. Not only Tang Ning at the wellhead was stunned, but little Tang Ning who was saving people in the river was also completely stunned. For a moment, he even forgot to swim and let the snake pounce on him.
Uncle Mu, who had been standing on the shore and watching, suddenly rushed over, took out something from the small bag on his waist, and sprinkled it on the two children in the river.
The black snake with bared fangs and claws quickly retracted into Xiao Gengxi's body and turned into Xiao Gengxi's spine.
"Poison master?!" Du Feng looked at Geng Xi standing by the well in shock. "You are actually a poison master?!"
That black snake is the insect of Muyun Gu! Du Feng has always believed that this kind of Gu only appears in legends. When he thinks of the Gu man mentioned by Uncle Gangmu and the contract between the two of them, Du Feng feels that he has found the truth.
Geng Xi ignored Du Feng and looked closely at Tang Ning.
Similarly, Uncle Mu also raised his head and looked towards where Tang Ning was, wanting to see Tang Ning's reaction.
Tang Ning stood there in a daze, the bits and pieces of information he had received constantly flashing through his mind, forming a line. His aunt and uncle once said that Tang Ning had nightmares about snakes day and night, and no matter how many psychiatrists he saw, they could not cure him.
Tang Ning finally understood why Geng Xi had been saying that he would let Lai see the truth at the right time. It turned out that the snake was Geng Xi, and Geng Xi was Tang Ning's nightmare.
So, Gengxi is a snake? !
