Chapter 761 Spirit Pearl
Just as he was about to pick up the spirit pearl to clear Wan Niang of her grievances, the lady's descendants suddenly appeared, and a fierce fight was inevitable.
During the fight, the power of the spirit pearl was accidentally stimulated, and it shone brightly. Wan Niang's wronged soul used the power of the spirit pearl to subdue the lady's descendants and made the truth of the year public. As the truth came to light, Wan Niang's resentment gradually dissipated, and her figure became more and more transparent, and finally turned into a soft light and disappeared into the air.
Qi Tongwei returned to his hometown after a long absence with mixed feelings. The old house stood quietly at the edge of the village, becoming more and more eerie under the erosion of time. The walls of the house were covered with moss, and the tiles on the roof were incomplete, as if an old man in his twilight years was silently telling stories of the past.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard of the old house, Qi Tongwei felt a chill coming towards him. There seemed to be a faint whisper in the wind, which made his back cold. He walked into the house carefully. The house was filled with an old atmosphere, and the dim light made it difficult to see the surroundings.
Suddenly, a group of bats flew out from the corner of the roof and circled above his head, making creepy squeaking sounds. Qi Tongwei waved his arms in fear, trying to drive away these uninvited guests. Just then, he noticed a secret compartment on the wall, which seemed to be deliberately hidden.
Driven by curiosity, Qi Tongwei opened the secret compartment. In the secret compartment was an ancient box, which was engraved with strange symbols and patterns, exuding a mysterious atmosphere. When he reached out to take the box, he suddenly heard a sinister laugh in his ears, which seemed to come from hell, and his heartbeat accelerated instantly.
Qi Tongwei suppressed his fear and opened the box. Inside the box was a yellowed diary. The paper was a little damaged, but the handwriting was clearly legible. From the diary, Qi Tongwei learned a shocking secret.
It turns out that many years ago, a plague broke out in the village and many people died. In order to control the epidemic, a mysterious wizard in the village cast an evil spell to seal the source of the plague under this old house. However, as time went by, the seal gradually loosened, and some evil spirits began to stir. The box and diary in Qi Tongwei's hand are the key to unlocking the seal.
At this time, Qi Tongwei was in a dilemma. On the one hand, he knew that if the seal was not re-reinforced, the evil spirits would escape and bring great disaster to the village; on the other hand, he also understood that re-sealing the evil spirits was not easy and might put his life in danger.
Just as he was hesitating, there was a sudden noise outside the old house. Qi Tongwei walked out of the house and found a group of villagers holding torches and walking towards him in a panic. The leading villager told him that a series of strange things had happened in the village recently, and everyone suspected that it was the evil spirit in the old house, so they decided to burn down the old house to prevent future troubles.
Qi Tongwei knew that burning down the old house would not really solve the problem, but might allow the evil spirit to escape and cause a greater crisis. So he decided to tell the truth to the villagers and lead them to find a way to strengthen the seal.
In the following days, Qi Tongwei and the villagers searched for materials and spells that could seal the evil spirits. They searched through the ancient books in the village, visited many elderly wise men, and finally found an ancient sealing ritual.
On a full moon night, Qi Tongwei and the villagers came to the old house and held a solemn and mysterious sealing ceremony according to the records in ancient books. During the ceremony, the evil spirits continued to attack and try to stop them, but Qi Tongwei and the villagers did not back down. With firm belief and courage, they finally succeeded in reinforcing the seal.
After Qi Tongwei and the villagers successfully sealed the evil spirit, the village returned to peace, but Qi Tongwei found that things were not completely over.
On the night when the old house was sealed, Qi Tongwei vaguely felt that there was a mysterious force watching them. Since then, he often saw a vague figure in his dreams, waving at him in the dark fog, muttering some incomprehensible words.
One day, a mysterious stranger came to the village, claiming to be a traveler who passed by and heard the story of the old house, so he wanted to come and see it. Qi Tongwei was suspicious of his identity and secretly watched his actions.
The stranger was asking around in the village, as if he was looking for something. Qi Tongwei found that the stranger's eyes revealed a kind of greed and desire, which was very inconsistent with his identity as a traveler.
Finally, late one night, Qi Tongwei saw a stranger sneaking into the old house. He followed him in quietly and saw the stranger digging out a box in the corner of the old house. The box was engraved with symbols similar to those in the secret compartment before.
The stranger opened the box, and a strange light emanated from it. At this moment, the air around him suddenly became bone-chillingly cold, a gust of cold wind blew, and a sinister laugh echoed in the old house. The stranger seemed to be controlled by something, his eyes became empty, and he kept muttering: "I finally found you, the power of the Lord of Mysteries, I want to possess you..."
Qi Tongwei realized that something was wrong. He remembered the plot in "Lord of Mysteries" and knew that this might be some evil force trying to break the seal with the help of a stranger and gain more powerful power.
Qi Tongwei shouted loudly and rushed forward, trying to stop the stranger. However, the stranger's strength suddenly became extremely strong, and he waved his hand and threw Qi Tongwei aside.
Qi Tongwei struggled to stand up. He remembered the method he used to seal the evil spirit before, so he began to recite the spell silently, trying to summon the power of the seal.
Just as Qi Tongwei and the stranger were in a stalemate, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in the sky, illuminating the entire old house. Qi Tongwei saw a huge black shadow appeared behind the stranger, shaped like a winged monster, it opened its bloody mouth and pounced on Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei closed his eyes and silently chanted the last spell in his heart. Just as the shadow was about to pounce on him, a ray of light shone from his body. There seemed to be a mysterious power in the light, which enveloped the shadow and the stranger.
As the light disappeared, the shadows and strangers also disappeared. The old house returned to peace again, but Qi Tongwei knew that this was only temporary.
In order to explore the secret of an ancient relic, Qi Tongwei stepped into the vast desert alone.
