Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 193: Witch and Gu

In the courtyard outside the auditorium, among the crowd of gong and drum players, one figure was particularly eye-catching.

He was wearing the uniform red festive clothes of the gong and drum team, holding a pale flute in his hand, with his eyes closed, playing a plaintive sound on the flute.

The sound of the flute was low and mournful, as if it came from the depths of the underworld, making people shudder.

The flute player was surrounded by a strange aura, which condensed into the shadow of a huge black scorpion, floating behind him.

The black scorpion's appearance is similar to that of a scorpion, but it also vaguely bears the distorted features of Igolonak, making it appear particularly hideous and terrifying.

Shi Fei looked at the black scorpion shadow carefully before he realized what the hell this abstract thing was.

It was also the first time that Tan Qi saw such a strange scene. His eyes widened and his face turned pale as paper. He was obviously frightened by the sight before him.

"Why are you playing so loudly!" Shi Fei shouted at the flute player.

However, the flute player seemed to be unable to hear the sounds from the outside world. Instead, the sound of his flute became high-pitched and sharp. From his tightly closed eyes, two lines of dark red blood flowed down his cheeks, making him look particularly terrifying.

At the same time, the illusory scorpion shadow suddenly became violent and rushed towards the bride in the main hall, as if it wanted to devour her.

"Dou...Brother Dou, please stop him!" Seeing this, Tan Qi hurriedly tugged at Shi Fei's sleeve, his voice filled with anxiety and fear.

Shi Fei, however, remained calm and asked, "Why should we stop him?"

"Ah...you..." Tan Qi shouted anxiously, "Help!"

"You forgot my name."

"Dou... I'm just kidding you!" Tan Qi felt a pain in his liver when he thought of Shi Fei's name. He gritted his teeth and said, "Dou... I'm just kidding you! You're still joking at this time!"

"Don't be anxious! There is another hidden story!" Shi Fei patted Tan Qi on the shoulder and said.

"Hidden secret?" Tan Qi was stunned, obviously he had not yet recovered from the chaos in front of him.

From his point of view, he was enjoying the wedding, but suddenly a flute player showed up and made the whole thing look eerie and strange.

According to common sense, the flute player is undoubtedly a bad guy.

"Not necessarily!" Shi Fei pointed at the flute player and asked Tan Qi, "His target is the bride. He wants to kill the bride! If someone snatches your beloved girl away and holds a grand wedding, will you kill the groom or the bride?"

Tan Qi answered without hesitation: "It must be killing the groom! The one who robbed the groom deserves death, how can you blame the girl?"

"That's right." Shi Feidian continued to ask: "So, under what circumstances would someone kill the bride?
"Could it be that he is having an affair with Brother Jiang?" Tan Qi muttered to himself, "I haven't figured out that Brother Jiang is this person. No wonder he drinks..."

In the officialdom, the trend of pedophilia was prevalent and even became a common practice. Tan Qi's father had warned him many times to stay away from such evil practices.

Therefore, when Shi Fei mentioned "killing the bride and robbing the groom", many unsightly scenes instantly emerged in Tan Qi's mind, and he even imagined a bloody official secret.

"What are you thinking about!" Shi Fei felt that there was a generation gap between him and the people of this era: "Is it possible that the bride and the flute player know each other?" "Ah?" Tan Qi was stunned, and then he suddenly realized. He followed Shi Fei's thoughts and immediately understood the deep meaning.

What kind of "cognition" could make a flute player kill a bride on her wedding day?
That must be...

Before Tan Qi could say anything, he heard a "bang" from the main hall. A black flame flew out from the main hall and burned towards the flute player.

Just as Tan Qi was about to speak, he suddenly heard a loud "bang" coming from the main hall.

A black flame suddenly burst out from the main hall and headed straight for the flute player. The flame was extremely strange, as if it had life, carrying a destructive aura that swallowed everything.

However, the flute player did not move at all, still playing the flute with his eyes closed. The sound of the flute suddenly became sharp and piercing, and a ghostly shadow suddenly appeared around him, blocking the black flames.

The ghost collided with the flames and was instantly burned to ashes, but the black flames also stopped in front of the flute player and could not move forward any further.

"A Ruo, you are not dead?" The bride's voice was cold and charming as she walked slowly out of the hall.

She was dressed in a red wedding gown, with a strange black mist covering her body. Her eyes flashed with an eerie light, making her look both beautiful and dangerous.

"You didn't expect it?" The flute player called A Ruo stopped playing the flute. His voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of hell, carrying endless chill.

The bride chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm and charm in her voice: "Sure enough... you still have something to hide. At the beginning, you kept saying you loved me, but you even hid a trick of the witchcraft you taught me. It's really chilling."

Tan Qi was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "How can this woman be so shameless!
As soon as he finished speaking, the bride glanced at him coldly, her eyes as sharp as knives, and frightened Tan Qi so much that he trembled all over.

Seeing this, Shi Fei immediately stood in front of Tan Qi and said with a smile: "We are just passing by and eating sunflower seeds, you guys continue, continue!"

After saying that, he pulled Tan Qi back to a corner, grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the table and stuffed them into Tan Qi's pocket, saying, "Don't talk too much, just watch the show."

The so-called witchcraft is the Old Ones plus scorpions?

The locals really know how to have fun!
When the bride heard Shi Fei's words, a hint of anger flashed in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed her emotions and refocused her attention on A Ruo.

For her, the most important enemy at the moment is the flute player A Ruo. As for Shi Fei and Tan Qi, they are just two ants. After dealing with A Ruo, she will naturally have the means to deal with them.

"Love? I just hate that I was blind and didn't see your true face!" The flute player opened his eyes, and they were all dark!
He sacrificed his eyes and soul to the Scorpion God, just to gain the power for revenge!

Ah Ruo said no more, and put the bone flute to her lips again, playing the strange and low tune. This time, there was a hint of determination and madness in the sound of the flute, as if she wanted to pour all her strength into it.

What he played was the forbidden song of the Five Poisonous Scorpion Gods - "Huangquan Yin"!
According to rumors, "Yellow Springs Yin" is a forbidden song that summons the power of the Yellow Springs. It can activate the Yellow Springs scorpion poison, causing the joints of the limbs of those poisoned to twist in the opposite direction, and strange patterns of "Worm Whisper" to emerge under the skin, eventually causing the person to die in extreme pain.

However, the price of this forbidden song is also extremely heavy. The player must use his own life as a guide to activate the power of the underworld.

He just played the overture, and now he is playing the main piece.

As the flute sounded, a smell of decay seemed to permeate the air, and countless tiny black scorpion shadows could be vaguely seen roaming in the void, pouncing towards the bride.
