MDZS Characters Watching the Future

33. Curse Mark

Lan WangJi laid Jin Ling flat onto the ground and felt for his pulse. Wei WuXian, on the other hand, took up the sheath of Bichen, and skillfully started to poke around in the dirt, following the length of the bone. After a short while, a complete skeleton appeared before their eyes.

"What the hell?!" exclaimed the cultivators.

"Da-ge!" yelled Huaisang and hid behind his brother.

"Tsk! You called yourselves cultivators yet can't take it when you saw a complete skeleton!" said Wei Wuxian in disbelief.

"But why is there a skeleton?" asked Jin Zixuan.

"Are you asking me? How would I know? How would we know? I only knew about that when we watched it. Stop asking." said Wei Wuxian.

This skeleton was the same as how Jin Ling looked, buried inside the wall in a standing position. With ghastly pale bones and pitch-black dirt— the contrast was distinct yet glaring to the eye. Wei WuXian dug a bit more through the ground, and broke away a few pieces of bricks on the side. After some more rustling around, sure enough, he found another skeleton nearby.

This one hadn’t decayed completely yet. There were still some flesh on the bones, and long, messy hair on the skull. From the ragged clothing in the shade of a watered down red, he could tell that this was a woman. However, she wasn’t standing, with her skeleton bending down. The reason of this was that there was a third skeleton beside her, squatting down by her feet.

"It looks like a pattern." said Lan Xichen.

Everyone looked at him.

"Wow! First time seeing Jiang Cheng sleeping while sitting in someone's lap." said Wei Wuxian.

"A-die is not someone, they are married in the future." said Jingyi.

"Just let him sleep. I don't know what's happening that time but I know for sure that the next scenes will be unpleasant for him." said Jin Ling.

"Don't worry, a-ling. If a-cheng is sleeping, you can't wake him up that easily." said Jiang Yanli while patting his son's head.

Wei WuXian stopped digging further.

He took a few steps back. The noise in his ears was as wild and turbulent as tidal waves.

He could almost be sure of it. The inside of this stone castle’s thick walls was packed with human corpses.

Above, below, southeast, northwest; standing, sitting, lying, squatting…

Just what on Earth was this place?!

"A dangerous place." said Zizhen.

"Who would do that?" asked MianMian.

"Someone who is not their right mind." said Jin Guangshan.

Nie Mingjue send him a glare secretly.

"Bold of you to say that." said Jingyi with a laugh.

At this moment, the unconscious Jin Ling suddenly sat up.

In front of the two, he clumsily stood up with closed eyes. Wei WuXian wanted to see what he was going to do, so he didn’t do anything as Jin Ling slowly walked around him, took one stride, and stepped back into the wall where he stood just a while ago. He placed his arms flat beside his body. Even the position was the same as before.

"Is he hypnotized?" asked Nie Huaisang.

"I think so." said Wei Wuxian.

Wei WuXian pulled him out of the wall again, feeling that the situation was both hilarious and strange. As he was about to tell Lan WangJi that it was best not to stay here for long, he suddenly quivered out of fright, hearing a few barks that came from afar. Ever since they went in, the blackhaired spiritual dog behaved itself, wagging its tail as it sat before the entrance. It waited for them to bring back its master in an anxious yet pathetic way, without barking anymore. However, right now, its barks were fiercer than ever.
