The Desire to Be Eternal

Chapter 50: The Weird Page

The courtyard gate opened, and Du Lingfei, Feng Yan and Bai Xiaochun were completely on guard as they peered inside. Bai Xiaochun was so nervous that he started slapping paper talismans all over his body.

The figure that had just appeared held the lantern in his hand, and stood at the open gate, wrapped in shadows as it stared at the three of them.

"Why, can I ask, the three of you came to the Luochen Clan on this dark night?"

The twinkling light from the lantern barely revealed a young man, standing there staring at them quietly. He was wearing a long green robe, and his face was pale and devoid of blood color.

Upon seeing that it was the person who appeared, Feng Yan and Du Lingfei heaved a sigh of relief. Somehow, the creepy feeling they had experienced just a moment ago had receded a little.

Feng Yan clasped his hands and said, “Halo, Fellow Daoist. We are disciples of the Spirit Stream Sect, visiting to ask you some questions. ”

At this point, Du Lingfei had seen many shields flickering around Bai Xiaochun, and his brows furrowed in response.

Bai Xiaochun did not pay attention to Du Lingfei's look. For some reason, the fact that a young man had appeared did not cause the intense sensation of danger to diminish at all.

"Ah, Fellow Daoists from the Spirit Stream Sect," said the young man. "Please, come in, and we can discuss the problem …." Flashing lanterns cast a shadow on the young man's face, making it hard to see him clearly as he turned around and walked away.

The courtyard gate then opened wide to allow the three disciples to enter.

Feng Yan hesitated for a moment, then walked through the gate. Du Lingfei followed behind him. As for Bai Xiaochun, he looked around for a moment before gritting his teeth and carefully entering the courtyard.

Even as the huge gate closed behind them, the two stone lions under the lantern outside suddenly turned to look towards the gate, their eyes flickering with a blood-colored light.

Inside the courtyard was a green limestone path that pierced through various plants and ornamental stones. The dim moonlight shone downwards, making everything a partial shadow. The only light came from the lantern, which was swaying in the young man's hands.

The four of them walked along the street, surrounded by a gloomy silence. This place almost looked like a different world from the world outside the gate.

On the right side of the road were several fruit trees, laden with red fruit. Surprisingly, although there was no breeze in the courtyard, the leaves on the trees suddenly rustled.

Du Lingfei and Feng Yan looked more alert than before, and Bai Xiaochun, who was in the last row, looked around cautiously in all directions. For some reason, those rustling fruit trees looked very strange.

Gradually, a scent like fresh blood rose, fainting, but simultaneously different.

Bai Xiaochun's heart started pounding, and he was just about to say something when, all of a sudden, fruit started falling from the fruit tree, the, it landed on the ground and rolled towards Bai Xiaochun and the others. Surprisingly, the face could be seen on the fruit, a child-like face with a wide smile that was almost like it had been painted.

“La la! Hello!"

Arms and legs grew out of the fruit, and as they dashed towards Bai Xiaochun and the others, they clasped hands and then began to leap over the circle around the shocked group of three people.

At the same time, the fruits began to scream in an excited voice: “Aunti said well and did not cry! We can only laugh! Ripe fruit is the best fruit! "

Their voices are very charming and sweet as they dance around and start singing lullabies. Now that they were so close, it was possible to smell a sweet fragrance. It was so sickly-sweet, in fact, that when it inhaled it, Bai Xiaochun and the others felt as if they were going to vomit it out.

When the fruit got too close to the young man with the lantern, he completely ignored it, and even stomped on some of it, crushing it. However, the crushed fruit just crawled back to their feet, smiling as they continued to dance and sing.

"What the fuck is this ?!" Feng Yan exclaimed, his eyes flickering. He waved his sleeve, causing a gust of wind to kick and sending some fruits flying away. After slamming onto the ground, they got back up and rejoined the circle, laughing just as loudly as before.

Bai Xiaochun felt goosebumps rising all over his body, and at this point he was completely surrounded by flickering shields.

Du Lingfei looked at the fruits that were all holding hands and singing, and his facial expression flickered in fear. Suppressing the disgust in his heart, he gritted his teeth, and his phoenix-like eyes shone with fury. He was just about to perform a spell move when suddenly, the face of the fruits fell in fear.

"Auntie is coming !!" they cry, run pell-mell back to the tree and jump to its original position. Soon, their laughter and singing faded, and they looked like ordinary fruits.

The young man from the Luochen Clan did not look back at them, but they could hear his voice as he said, "That was some spirit fruit brought by the patriarch from the depths of the Fallenstar Mountains. What do you think of their singing, Fellow Daoist? They like to sing. ”

An unsightly expression appeared on the faces of Feng Yan and Du Lingfei as they followed.

Bai Xiaochun was still at the very back. Suddenly, a cold feeling of fear surfaced within him when he realized that ... a series of footsteps could be heard!

Step, step, step ….

It is impossible to determine exactly when this development took place, but at this moment .. there are obviously five people walking along the way!

Perhaps the footsteps had been mixed with their steps since they entered the courtyard, and they had not noticed because of the strange fruits. But now, in the silence that followed the explosion of fruits, the sound of those extra footsteps was striking.

The resounding footsteps caused Bai Xiaochun to shiver. The most frightening thing was that the footsteps were coming from behind him. Suddenly, a cold breeze seemed to wash over his back, as if there was someone behind him, breathing on him.

Disciple Du Lingfei shriveled, and he began to pant.

The three of them suddenly stopped walking, and when they did, the sound of other footsteps disappeared.

Bai Xiaochun's heart was pounding. Gritting her teeth, she slowly turned her head and found herself staring into the eyes of a young woman wearing a red robe!

His robe swayed gently, and his face was pale, as if he was dead. He smiled strangely at Bai Xiaochun for a moment before his lips moved, and he said, "This fire will not happen, help me."

Suddenly what had just happened caused Bai Xiaochun to jump into the air and shout. The red-robed young lady suddenly turned into a beam of light that disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Bai Xiaochun's face was deathly pale as he looked around, but there was nothing there.

Du Lingfei and Feng Yan looked around in fear. Although they did not see an unusual figure like Bai Xiaochun, their hearts were still beating fast.

Then, a woman's voice suddenly sounded, singing a song. The lyrics floated all over the page, strange and mysterious, almost like lullabies sung to soothe a baby. That sheer sound caused the darkness to appear even more tickling than before.

“Good little baby, time to sleep; wind blows and flame jumps; don't you cry and don't peek …. "

"Enough with the living room tricks!" Feng Yan exclaimed, clearly nervous. He instantly performed a spell motion, summoning a flying sword, which began to revolve around him.

Simultaneously, the young man with the lantern turned to look at them. The twinkling light from the lantern made it seem even stranger than before.

"What are you standing there for? Come on, let's move on. " He smiled, a smile that was somehow very abnormal.

Feng Yan took a deep breath, and then his eyes gleamed with a sharp light as he said, "No, we are not going anywhere. Look, we're here to investigate the disappearance of one of our colleagues. Fellow Daoist, do you happen to remember a person like us coming here about five months ago? "

Du Lingfei had already taken out a magic device, and his eyes shone in concentration.

"No, I don't think so" replied the young man. Her softly spoken words soared into the air and seemed to be aligned with the woman's singing voice.

"Daoist Fellow," Du Lingfei suddenly said, "why aren't any of your clan members around?"

The young man's smile widened to the point of looking unnatural. "Oh, they have business. Are you done with your question? "

"Yes, we're done here," said Feng Yan. "We're going to take a leave now." With that, he turned around to walk backwards onto the path. Du Lingfei followed him, and to Bai Xiaochun, he had long since flown, and was far ahead of them.

The young man's smile was now so wide that the side of his mouth started to open, almost as if his head was about to split in half! "If you don't want to go any further, all you can do is stay behind .. stay behind to accompany us …."

The lantern suddenly turned a greenish color, making the entire courtyard darker than before. Even when those words came out of the young man's mouth, he began to float in the air towards Feng Yan.

Feng Yan's face fell, and he made a spell move and pointed, sending his speeding sword towards the young man. An explosion sounded as the young man let the sword stab him. Then, his smile widened even further as he shot towards Feng Yan.

Gasping for breath, Feng Yan fell back, simultaneously taking out the black medicinal pill, which he threw to the ground. The sound of an explosion resounded as the pill then exploded.

The charging youth was hit by an explosion and sent falling backwards, his body filled with wounds. However, he did not seem to feel any pain. Smiling the same as usual, he shot into the air as fast as a kite on a windy day, to once again charge towards Feng Yan.

In the place where the medicinal pill had exploded, many glowing lines were now visible, all of which exuded a powerful death aura as they began to form together, as if they were repairing themselves.

As soon as he saw the design on the ground, Feng Yan shouted in fear, “There is a spell formation here! That Shadowhell Formation !! "

At the same time, the green limestone under Du Lingfei's feet began to tremble, and then eyes appeared on it. Skinny arms, like a corpse, as thin as a twig. Just below the surface of the skin of those arms were so many worm-like creatures, wriggling and wriggling. Those arms ... grabbed Du Lingfei's right leg.

Sounds rose from the green limestone, creepy, fear-inducing sounds.

"It hurts when you step on us …."

"coming. Come with us …. "

Du Lingfei's face was pale. He quickly performed a spell motion and pointed, causing the flag to fly out of his bag of holding. It instantly turned into two fog beasts, which swirled around it. Simultaneously, a flying sword appeared, and the gleaming sword light severed the hand that had held his foot, allowing him to fall back.

As for Bai Xiaochun, the woman's singing suddenly grew louder in his ears.

"Don't cry and don't peek …."
