Ch 421: Place of the Dead

“This world is probably bigger than we imagined…” Su Ning said.

The Little People are quite sensitive to the surrounding Qi. They sensed that this world is probably not as simple as it seems.

A Perfect Antithetical Couplet…

Seems to be sealing something!

If the people of Blue Star didn’t live in this Perfect Antithetical Couplet, then they would definitely all be like dragons…

But even when suppressed, the creatures of this world are still terrifying!

Just casually putting one into the Small World would be an extremely terrifying existence.

If the Seal of this world were fully released, what kind of scene would that be?

Unimaginable!

Su Ning sat in a Small County Town in the Country, drinking Tea, watching people come and go, with a light drizzle.

“In this place, I seem to feel a special Qi,” Su Ning said.

“Indeed… just feeling the Qi makes it hard to breathe.” The Little People were deeply uneasy. Even just the Qi made their scalps tingle. If Su Ning wasn’t here, they definitely wouldn’t want to get close to this place.

These people are all extremely powerful and have resolute hearts in the Miniature People Country.

But in this place, it still makes them worry and feel unstable…

“Indeed, a Qi of the Wilderness, a Qi of death, and of course… within it, one can also feel a unique life Qi being nurtured…” Asking Dao Chong’er said, drinking Tea.

“Immortal Elder, what is this place???” One of the Little People asked, puzzled.

“Ailao…”

“Ailao???”

“It is said that once, an ancient Empire dominated this place, but later disappeared for some unknown reason, and it also became a Perfect Antithetical Couplet!” Su Ning said.

“Ailao… what kind of existence is it exactly?”

“Why don’t we just go in and take a look?” Su Ning shrugged.

“I’ve wandered around the mortal world enough. It’s time to go to the remote Mountains and old forests to find something interesting.”

The reason he came out this time was actually to collect things similar to the Da Hong Pao Tea Tree.

If he can bring it back to the Vegetable Garden for cultivation, it will be useful to him in the future.

He can’t just keep exploiting the Da Hong Pao Tea Tree, right?

Ailao Mountain is a Forbidden Land.

Entry prohibited.

It is full of dangers, and it once swallowed the lives of countless investigators, and even… even ancient armies plunged into the Mountains and never came out again.

This place is definitely a Restricted Area for ordinary people. After entering, there is almost a 90% chance of death!

But for Su Ning…

…

Stepping on the rotten layers of leaves, a rotten, damp, and specially fermented smell wafted over, which was quite unpleasant. If someone was allergic to this kind of air, they would definitely be covered in red rashes.

“Oh oh Hou…”

In the dense forest, eerie sounds came from time to time, from unknown Creatures.

Like Ghosts crying and wolves howling.

Because of the huge and dense trees, the sky was covered… making the entire forest strangely dark. Even on a sunny day, not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate.

The forest was like a spooky scene from a Ghost movie.

It makes one suspect that some strange things will suddenly appear in sight.

Except for Su Ning.

If it were some timid people, they probably wouldn’t be able to move.

It’s not that Su Ning is particularly brave.

It’s because of the sense of security brought by fierce firepower.

His Golden Core Realm Cultivation makes him fearless.

Even if there are Ghostly Things, it won’t be Su Ning who is afraid.

“If Xiao Tao and Xiao Li were brought to this Ghostly place to scare people, it would probably be very entertaining!” Su Ning stroked his chin.

He calmly held a Terrarium Box and walked forward slowly.

“Um… is this the Netherworld?”

“The Strange Entity Yin Qi is so heavy!”

“It seems like Strange Entities live here…”

The Little People’s scalps tingled!

“Don’t worry, with Immortal Elder here, let alone if there are no Strange Entities, even if there are Strange Entities, it should be the other party who is afraid.” The Golden Crow Great Emperor didn’t feel anything.

It’s not that he’s not afraid of this kind of place, but that he believes in Su Ning.

Everyone doesn’t think there will be any accidents.

“Shua Shua…”

Su Ning also felt that nothing would dare to approach.

But just as this thought appeared, he felt something moving beside him.

Su Ning turned his Head to look…

“Bang!”

Even he, who was so calm, felt his heart twitch.

This wasn’t fear or terror, but a stress response from suddenly seeing an unknown creature.

A hanging Ghost in White, draped in long white plain cloth, was less than two meters away from Su Ning, staring straight at Su Ning.

What that thing was wearing wasn’t ordinary white clothes, but plain linen clothes, the kind of material used for mourning in the past.

The long plain cloth dragged from the tree all the way to the ground.

It moved automatically in the air without wind, rustling.

It was like a Woman in White Ghost, floating there.

Occasionally swaying left and right.

It was especially Strange in the forest.

“Damn… what the hell is this Ghostly Thing!

Too scary!”

The sudden scene made the Little People in the Terrarium Box tremble with fear.

Su Ning looked at the white cloth hanging from the tree branch, something similar to a white-clothed human figure.

After a moment: “This isn’t a Strange Entity.”

“Then what is it???” The Little People asked, puzzled.

Su Ning looked around the white cloth: “Is that a soul-calling ritual? Or is it setting up a home for the deceased to settle down?”

In fact, they are some items that the deceased used during their lifetime, which are used as burial objects after death. This is a custom of some ethnic groups in the Southwest Province.

This kind of arrangement is actually not done for everyone who dies.

These are very likely arranged for those who died unjustly.

Because many people firmly believe that those who died unjustly cannot enter reincarnation and can only wander in the mortal world, so their relatives pity them and use the objects that the deceased used during their lifetime to arrange the forest into a home, so that the deceased does not have to wander, gather their souls, and have a home to live in here.

Su Ning looked around, and there were many wooden boxes, as well as some utensils, tables, chairs, and benches, and clothes similar to the white clothes fluttering just now hanging on the trees.

Seeing this scene in the dark and terrifying forest is indeed quite frightening.

What is wrapped under those human-shaped clothes is not a human Corpse, but some straw filling…

Perhaps it was made by the deceased’s relatives for the deceased, similar to burning paper servants, to serve the deceased in the Netherworld?

“I didn’t expect that even after going deep into the hinterland of Ailao Mountain, I could still see this thing. Could it be… that someone has lived here in recent years? Otherwise, who arranged this?” Su Ning wondered…

But after he carefully looked at these things, he realized: “That’s not right either. These things look very old… not like modern things, but like ancient objects. Was this thing arranged by ancient people?”

That would be too long ago…

Thousands of years, and it hasn’t decayed yet?

Very strange…

Su Ning walked closer.

He wanted to find out.

Well… just pure curiosity.

“Bang…”

Suddenly, a box made a slight noise.

Su Ning looked over in the direction of the sound.

He found that there seemed to be something hidden in the box…

Suddenly, a human face popped out of the box and met Su Ning’s eyes…

Su Ning: ???

This sudden appearance really made his heart tremble.

That face was pale, with a strange expression, and long hair over its shoulders… not like a human, that face… was also extremely distorted.

Just this scene alone made one’s scalp tingle.
