Chapter 40 Meeting

"Well, Brother Li, don't worry, I will definitely try my best to protect you. Come...be careful where you step."

Ning Tonghai showed a sincere expression and trotted along to clear the obstacles for Li Taiyuan.

He has always been proud of his acting skills and ability to manipulate people's hearts.

Otherwise, he would not have successfully eliminated other competitors and joined the senior backbone Li Yonghao in just six months after joining the organization.

When Li Taiyuan carried the body on his back and walked out of the cave with Ning Tonghai, they saw Wei Yixi sitting blankly on her knees outside the cave.

At this moment, Wei Yixi seemed to be injured. The skin and flesh on her white arms and neck were turned out and bleeding continuously.

There were several pieces of burnt blood cloth and a broken pottery xun scattered around her feet; the surrounding area was empty, and Ruan Zhuyin's figure had disappeared.

"How about it? I'll just say there's something wrong with that woman."

Ning Tonghai was secretly glad that he had sharp eyes and saw through the identity of Li Gui.

Considering his next action, he put on a look of concern for his companions, stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and pulled Wei Yixi up.

"Yes. I really regret it. I should have discovered it earlier..."

Wei Yixi stretched out her hand and put it on Ning Tonghai's shoulder.

When the other party helped her up, Wei Yixi's face darkened, and she put the blood cloth hidden in her sleeve with her backhand on Ning Haitong's forehead.

"I should have discovered earlier that you are the evil ghost who sneaked into the team!"

As soon as Wei Yixi finished speaking, the blood cloth burned with blue flames when it came into contact with Ning Tonghai's skin.

The next second, the pale Ruan Zhuyin covered his injured arm and slowly walked out from behind the rock pillar.

"I accidentally picked up the relics left by the dead ghosts before. It was influenced by the resentment on the pottery xun that I felt the pain of these dead souls. It was that power that led me and let me take you to find this cave.

.”

Ruan Zhuyin looked at Ning Tonghai, who was on fire, and said expressionlessly: "Fortunately, Yixi risked her life to get rid of the resentment attached to me, and this allowed me to regain my sanity."

Seeing this scene, Ning Tonghai completely collapsed.

The flames rose into the sky and swallowed up Ning Tonghai's whole body in an instant. The pain flashed back in his mind along with a large amount of memories. Recalling what happened before, Ning Tonghai's eyes widened in horror.

He remembered... on the first night he lived in the White Mansion, he was devoured by the female ghost in red.

But why? Everyone was obviously killed, so why was he the only one who turned into a ghost?

"What do you mean? No, how could it be me?!!! Why am I the only one who became like this after resurrection?"

Ning Tonghai was burned to pieces, and he stumbled and waved his arms, trying to pull Wei Yixi to die together.

However, before he could reach the other party, his legs had already turned into ashes and disappeared.

Ning Tonghai fell heavily to the ground, feebly feeling that his body was being eaten away and disintegrated bit by bit. With an unwilling and resentful look in his eyes, he screamed and disappeared in front of everyone.

Looking at the charred human form on the ground, Wei Yixi and Ruan Zhuyin both recovered from their shock.

"What did Ning Tonghai mean when he just said that everyone is dead?"

Wei Yixi stepped forward quickly, staring at Li Taiyuan, wishing to see through him.

"What happened to the resurrection he mentioned? Also, I have been observing you along the way. Why are you so familiar with Bai Mansion?" Ruan Zhuyin said in a deep voice.

Facing the two's questioning, Li Taiyuan, who had already identified their identities, no longer had any worries and calmly told the other party the truth: "This is the curse of the cycle."

The three of them quickly evacuated along the cave. On the way, Li Taiyuan explained in detail what had happened before.

Before the 1.2 week was about to start, Bai Ruoyan told Li Taiyuan all her plans on the night of the wedding ceremony, as well as the negative effects that would be brought about by borrowing the power of candle yin.

In order to strengthen the seal, every member of the Bai family had blood on their hands and shouldered countless sins.

Bai Ruoyan knows very well that as long as the cycle is opened, the Bai family members who have experienced death and rebirth will turn into wraiths and be trapped in reincarnation forever and suffer the punishment they deserve.

She does not regret this decision. Everything the Bai family will suffer in the future is to pay for the sins committed in the past.

She was willing to sacrifice her remaining life and soul to start a cycle for Li Taiyuan at the expense of the Bai family never entering reincarnation.

She hopes that Li Taiyuan and others can completely eradicate the curse that has shrouded Shengquan Village, end the tragedies of the saints and town girls in the past generations, and restore the freedom of the innocent villagers.

Although Li Taiyuan agreed to cooperate with Bai Ruoyan, he also calmly accepted his fate of being killed; but he could not guarantee that based on his past experience, he would be able to achieve nirvana and be reborn after death.

If he is also cursed and turns into a ghost, all previous plans will completely fail the moment he regains his memory.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, Li Taiyuan chose to forget the truth about the circular curse in Week 1.2, and handed the medicine bottle that can restore memory to Bai Ruoyan for safekeeping, so that she can awaken her memory at the critical moment.

"So you didn't remember the whole story until we rushed to the pavilion? Because you weren't sure about the identities of the others except Joan, that's why you didn't tell anyone about the cycle?"

Wei Yixi spent a lot of effort to sort out all the information.

"Yes."

Li Taiyuan said calmly: "After all, everyone is good at pretending. Who knows whether you have done anything wrong before."

"Heh, I guess you're not much better, or else why you felt guilty in the first place."

Although she understood the other party's approach, Wei Yixi could not help but resent Li Taiyuan's approach just now.

Thanks to Ning Tonghai who took the lead in ruling out the possibility that Li Taiyuan was a ghost, she dared to use blood cloth to verify her and Ruan Zhuyin's identities.

Ning Tonghai lived a life of selfishness and arrogance; he was greedy, hypocritical, and only jealous of others. He probably never thought until his death that the ghost he had glimpsed before was actually himself. It was his cleverness that sent him away in advance.

On a dead end.

"It's time for the crimes committed by the Bai family over the past hundred years to be put to an end." Ruan Zhuyin said quietly.

After seeing the tragic fate of the saints and innocent victims in the ancestral hall, Ruan Zhuyin felt extremely depressed.

It wasn't until the resentment was dispelled that Ruan Zhuyin realized that the dead souls in the ancestral hall had no intention of harming them.

The resentment attached to him guides everyone, just hoping that they can lift the sealing curse.

Even so, when she was possessed by resentment, she still felt the pain of those who died.

Although the body is dead, the soul is still trapped in the seal, suffering and suffering every minute.

The despair that penetrated her bones almost overwhelmed her will to live. If Wei Yixi hadn't tried her best to stop her, Ruan Zhuyin might have committed suicide.

After finally coming out of the cave, Wei Yixi saw that her companion was still looking depressed, and couldn't help but comfort him: "Ayin, don't think too much. Aren't we already taking action?

Quickly, these dead souls will be freed."

"Well... I'm sorry, I just hurt you."

Ruan Zhuyin looked at the other party with a guilty look on his face and asked if he wanted to treat the wound first.

Wei Yixi said carelessly that she had just a superficial injury and that it was nothing serious: "Rather than this, let's meet up with Brother Bin and the others first."

The three of them left Baoyun Building. Before leaving, Wei Yixi swept a lot of reference materials from the bookshelf and put them all in her bag.

Their round trip took nearly four hours. Wei Yixi thought that Chen Bin and others would have been waiting for them at the meeting point; but when the three of them rushed outside the gate of the North Courtyard, they found that there was no one nearby.
Chapter completed!
