Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 373 The dead beg for life

Yang Xiao was the first to act, followed by the others. Soon, they moved the six jars of wine to the open space in the middle of the wine cellar. During this period, everyone held the jars in front of their chests and kept facing the jars at all times to avoid triggering the ghost calling people rule immediately.

At the same time, they also discovered the strangeness of the wine jars. Each jar was very heavy and filled with wine. It was impossible to tell which one contained a human head and which jar was the real wine they were looking for just by feeling.

Yang Xiao faced the first jar of wine, turned slowly, and exposed his back to the jar. To be on the safe side, he also asked Cheng Cha for the soul-guiding incense.

Time passed by, and everyone couldn't help holding their breath. The scene was so quiet that it was scary. Just when Yang Xiao was about to change people, suddenly, a vague sound came from behind.

This voice sounded familiar to Yang Xiao, but it was definitely not calling his name, but a painful sob. Yang Xiao forced himself to calm down and not think about it. Anyway, as long as he was sure that there was a head inside, it was enough, and this jar had been ruled out.

But the next second, Yang Xiao turned around and found that Tong Han and Cheng's faces also became strange. Every pair of eyes stared at the wine jar. It felt like they heard it, but how could it be possible? The guys in Dujia Village would only call one person's name when they wanted to kill him, and only the person who was called could hear it. This was confirmed after they entered the wine cellar.

Tong Han swallowed hard, and the whole person became nervous. "Did you all hear it? It seems... it seems to be Sui Chengguo's voice."

"Is it really Brother Sui?" Mi Shu was also surprised.

This discovery is amazing, especially since there are 6 wine jars in front of them, one of which is real wine, and the other 5

are probably hiding human heads.

5 fresh wine jars with human heads, and they just lost 5 teammates.

According to the rules in the nightmare world, no matter how serious the injury is, as long as you can leave alive, even if you only have half a breath left, the injuries on your body will be completely recovered after returning to the real world. Yang Xiao has experienced this many times.

Following this line of thought, if the jars really contain the heads of Sui Chengguo and others, are they alive or dead now?

Yang Xiao couldn't be sure about this, but there was always a chance. Sui Chengguo died tragically to give everyone a chance to survive, and now he also wanted to give Sui Chengguo a chance to survive.

"What should we do?" Mi Shu asked in a low voice, "Do you want to open a jar and take a look?"

Yang Xiao refused without thinking, "No, it's too risky. First find the real jar of wine, and then try to take all these jars away."

"Don't take the ones that are sealed by Quan Dou." Yang Xiao added.

Time was tight, and the task was carried out in an orderly manner. Soon, 5 wine jars that could make sounds were picked out, and the last one left was the real wine jar.

"Okay, let's go." Yang Xiao picked up the wine jar with Sui Chengguo's head and walked out first, and the others each held one and followed closely. The jar of wine in Tong Han's hand was the real wine.

But to everyone's surprise, Cheng Cha actually carried two jars, one of which contained Hu Yanming and the other contained Quan Doufeng.

"Why are you carrying this dirty thing? Throw it away!" Tong Han couldn't help but frown. If it weren't for Quan Doufeng, the bastard, they might have left now and returned to the real world, and Sui Chengguo might not have died.

The two wine jars were very heavy, and Cheng Cha was panting, but he still refused to put them down, "I... I have my own plans. Believe me, it is still useful."

But not long after walking, the group was dumbfounded. They actually returned to the original place. Although the arrangement of the wine racks here is complicated and the vision is not good, the overall area of ​​the wine cellar is not very large, and there is absolutely no reason to get lost.

They tried again, and soon, as they returned to the original place again, Cheng Cha couldn't hold on anymore, so he had to put the two wine jars on the ground, sweating profusely.

Sure enough, things were not that simple. It seemed that they had encountered a ghost wall.

"Could it be... Could it be that something doesn't want us to take Brother Sui and the others away?" Mi Shu looked around and asked weakly.

This possibility cannot be ruled out. The most important thing is that the soul-guiding incense has been burned out for the most part. If the stalemate continues like this, I'm afraid something bigger will happen.

Saying sorry to Sui Chengguo and the others in his heart, Yang Xiao asked everyone to put down all the wine jars with human heads in their hands and only take the real wine jars and continue to try. But the accident happened again, and they returned to the original place. This is the third time.

Something went wrong. It seems that this ghost wall has nothing to do with Sui Chengguo and the others. It is aimed at these living people, and they want to trap them all to death here.

With the three attempts, Yang Xiao and the others gradually felt a strange feeling in their hearts. It seemed that more and more things in this wine cellar were waking up. Everyone felt that they were being watched by more than one sight, and these sights came from all directions.

There is no doubt that it was these Du family villagers who were left with only their heads alive who were causing trouble. These prying eyes were full of jealousy, resentment, and naked greed. They wanted their bodies, and these half-human and half-ghost things also wanted to live again.

After clarifying the source of the crisis, Yang Xiao also thought of a way to deal with these guys. They could only see them from behind, so Yang Xiao asked the four people except Tong Han to face one direction, and everyone stood shoulder to shoulder to form a square. Tong Han held the jar of real wine and squeezed in the center of the square. The five people kept their formation unchanged, and walked out along the original path step by step.

Sure enough, not long after they walked out, they saw the passage they came from. In fact, after forming the formation, Yang Xiao knew that this was safe, because he could feel that all the malicious spies had disappeared. To be precise, they had lost their direction and were looking for them randomly. The panic was exactly the same as the ghost Taoist priest outside before.

For the sake of safety, they kept their formation and walked through the passage until they returned to the steps at the entrance, and then climbed up one by one.

After everyone came out, Yang Xiao closed the door of the wine cellar and breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect to encounter such a dangerous situation before reaching the ghost monk's temple tonight.

When the few people returned to the yard, Cheng Cha opened the wine jar with the sound of Quan Dou Feng. After pouring out the liquid inside, a human head actually rolled out from it. Who else could it be if it wasn't Quan Dou Feng?

What was creepy was that the human head was wet, and the eyebrows and eyes were still moving. The mouth opened and closed, and a rash sobbing sound came from the throat.

"Really not dead?" Tong Han resisted the nausea and stepped forward to poke Quan Doufeng's forehead with a wooden stick, "Don't disgust us, speak human language!"

The next second, Quan Doufeng stopped whimpering, but slowly opened his mouth. Now everyone realized that his tongue was cut off at the root.

No need to ask, it must have been done by the Du family.

Although only a head was left, Quan Doufeng's thinking was still clear, at least he could understand what Yang Xiao and the others wanted to express.

Yang Xiao's previous guess also came true. It seems that this Dujia Village is indeed a place of execution. Anyone who comes here will not die unless their head is smashed.

Cheng Cha said at the beginning that this place has a bad feng shui, and it is not suitable for living people or ghosts to live in. It is a trap for the dead.

Following suit, they opened the remaining jars of human heads and took out the heads of the rest of the people one by one. Most of these heads were intact, but Sui Chengguo's was horrible, his face was scraped and one of his eyes was about to fall out of his socket. This was not abuse by the Du family, but because he stole the other half of the love lock last night and was besieged by the ghost villagers. This was the case when he met the household in the morning.

Sui Chengguo was speechless, but he could feel what he was thinking from his complicated eyes. Yang Xiao promised him that he would do his best to take him home.

There was only a small piece of soul-guiding incense left, and now this thing was useless. Cheng Cha was about to come, extinguished the incense head, and stuffed it into his arms together with the fire stick.

How to carry the head now is a problem. After all, there are Taoist priests guarding outside. Who knows if this evil thing can see some clues.

Tong Han suggested stuffing the head into the clothes. Although it was very swollen and could be seen at a glance, the Taoist priest could not judge with normal thinking.

As soon as the words fell, Yang Xiao and the others could not help but be stunned. Almost at the same time, the tall figure of the Taoist priest appeared in their minds, or more precisely, his fat belly.

"He also has a human head hidden in his belly." Mi Shu suddenly realized.

"Whose head could it be?" Wu Ma Haoming was curious.

"It must not be an ordinary person. It is either the wife of the clan leader or the dead housekeeper. Du Huai, who is in charge of the sacrifice, is also possible." Tong Han guessed.

In any case, this can be regarded as pointing out a way for them. Five people, each of them stuffed a human head into their clothes, and Quan Dou sealed the one on Cheng Cha. He seemed to be very interested in this human head.

Yang Xiao reluctantly picked up the jar of wine, and the group walked out of the courtyard gate. The Taoist priest stood outside the door waiting, never leaving, and even his posture did not change.

Yang Xiao and the other five stood in front of the Taoist priest, but he did not react at all, his eyes were empty, as if he had lost his soul.

The change started when Yang Xiao turned around. He intentionally exposed his back to the Taoist priest. Almost instantly, the Taoist soil was activated. The empty pupils focused and looked behind Yang Xiao. At the same time, a cold and numb voice sounded, "Two people are back."

As soon as this was said, everyone immediately understood what was going on. Cheng Cha couldn't suppress his joy in his heart. This meant that the heads in their arms could attract ghosts and could be treated as "living people", which was very important for his next plan.

They turned around one by one, turned their backs to the Taoist priest, and then circled and walked back the way they came. After the Taoist priest reported 10 people, he habitually followed behind everyone. The empty stone road only echoed the footsteps of Yang Xiao and 5 people.
