Chapter 619 Buried Alive
"Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Upon hearing this, Long Nier couldn't help but interrupt Dunzhu.
"Retribution? Ha! Ha!"
Dunzhu looked at Long Nier as if she were a rare animal, his face full of sneer: "How could someone from the Xuanmen sect ask such a ridiculous question? If you're not trying to defy fate, what kind of arts are you learning, what kind of mystical talk are you talking about?"
"Everything in this world has a cause and effect. You wanted to defy fate, extend your life, and transfer all the burdens you carried onto that child, but what happened? Didn't you still end up in our hands?"
Li Donglin said coldly.
"The victor becomes king, the loser becomes a bandit."
Dondrup closed his eyes, looking utterly resigned: "I'm outmatched, I have nothing to say. You don't need to say anything more. Kill me if you want, torture me if you want, it's all up to you!"
There was no regret whatsoever; it was all about accepting defeat with equanimity.
"Where did you hide that child's soul?" Li Donglin asked coldly, pressing for the most crucial question.
Dondrup slightly raised his eyelids, his gaze falling on his wrist, and uttered three words softly: "In the prayer beads."
We both looked at his wrist.
On Dondrup's wrist was a string of dark prayer beads, the beads were round and smooth, and the patina on them glowed with a fluorescent light, clearly an old and worn object.
"Human bones?"
With just one glance, Li Donglin noticed something fishy.
"That's right!"
Dondrup looked at the prayer beads on his wrist with a hint of regret and said, "Just a few more days. By then, I'll have successfully extended my lifespan and my body will be rejuvenated. Do you think you few can capture me?"
Having said that, he closed his eyes again and said, "Forget it, it's all fate. Do with me however you want!"
His attitude was very strange.
I looked at him suspiciously. A Taoist sorcerer who would do anything to defy fate and change his destiny, had just accepted his fate like this?
No matter how I look at it, I feel like there's something fishy going on here.
"Want to die a quick death?"
Fatty Lin snorted and said, "You've done so many evil deeds and harmed so many people over the years, and you think you can just end it all with death? It's not that easy!"
Li Donglin took the human bone bracelet from Dunzhu's hand, put it away, and said, "You have harmed too many people over the years, especially this child from Shancheng. You made him unable to stand on the ground, unable to enter the underworld, and unable to reincarnate, trapped in the gap between Yin and Yang, suffering endless torment. Today, we will return the favor exactly as it was. I will bury you alive in the underworld, so that you will not touch the earth of Yang, nor be able to enter the underworld. I will make you personally taste the feeling of being gnawed by Yin energy day and night, your soul imprisoned, and having no way to die."
Upon hearing this, Dondrup's eyelids twitched slightly, but he did not open them. His face remained indifferent, as if he were at our mercy.
Half an hour later, we arrived at a deserted, barren hillside in the western part of Hong Kong Island.
"How is it? Not bad, right?"
After pulling Dunzhu out of the car, Li Donglin said coldly, "I had my eye on this place when I came to investigate your private temple last time!"
"The air here is damp and cold, and there's nothing to lean against. It's a natural place to be trapped in darkness. You'll experience that feeling of being neither in the sky nor in the earth!"
As Li Donglin spoke, he gestured towards me and Fatty Lin with his lip.
My brother and I nodded, took out the tools we had prepared beforehand, and started digging a hole.
After digging for an hour, a pit two meters long, more than half a meter deep, and one meter wide was dug out.
It has to be said, that fat Lin is a beast; he dug most of this hole.
For the entire hour, his hand never stopped swinging the shovel. Now I know how he got his nickname "Fat Motor"!
"You lunatic, the way you're looking at me is weird, you're definitely up to no good!"
Fatty Lin glanced at me twice, leaned on his shovel, and took a deep breath.
"How could that be? I appreciate your kindness. You dug most of this pit, saving me so much effort!" I said, pointing to the pit.
We two brothers grew up together and have been together for over ten years. We can tell what the other is thinking with just a glance. This guy figured out I wasn't up to any good.
"Get lost, you're definitely up to no good!"
Fatty Lin didn't believe a word I said.
"Brother, Fatty, stop arguing! The pit is dug, it's time to bury the person!" Long Nier interrupted us.
"Nier, you too, I'd like to watch a bit more of the show!"
Li Donglin chuckled and kicked Dunzhu at his feet, saying, "This guy probably hasn't lived enough and doesn't want to be buried so soon!"
Dunzhu glanced at us but didn't say anything.
"Oh shit!"
Fatty Lin cursed and said, "Brother Li, that's enough. Let's bury them!"
"Um!"
Li Donglin nodded and kicked Dunzhu into the pit.
We've already done everything we needed to, such as the vein-locking nails at the four corners of the pit, the cinnabar that covered the bottom of the pit, and the red rope wrapped around Dunzhu's body.
After being kicked into the pit, Dondrup sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, just like before, as if he had seen through everything.
My brother and I ignored all that and just filled in the soil, burying it and compacting it layer by layer.
When only his head was buried, even though he was suffocating and his face was extremely pale, Dunzhu still didn't open his eyes or give in, as if he had truly taken life and death in stride.
The more he acted like that, the more I felt something was wrong, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.
Half an hour later, as the last layer of soil was compacted, Dunzhu had disappeared without a trace.
"Here, have one, no rush!"
Li Donglin stomped on Dunzhu's head twice to make sure it was buried firmly, then took out two cigarettes and handed them to me and Fatty Lin.
"Um!"
Lin Pangzi and I took the cigarettes and, together with Li Donglin, stood on Dunzhu's head, puffing away.
"Brother Li, Dunzhu is definitely dead this time!"
Fatty Lin said, holding a cigarette that was already half-smoked.
"Um!"
Li Donglin nodded and said, "I'm returning to the capital tomorrow. Keep an eye on things from now on, and check on things periodically to prevent any accidents!"
"Brother Li, do you also think today went too smoothly?" I asked.
"Um!"
Li Donglin nodded and said, "It's going a little too smoothly!"
"Brother, Brother Li, Brother Fatty, something's not right!"
Just then, Long Nier spoke up.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"The energy transmitted by the Gu worms is incorrect!"
"Long Nier said."
"Ni'er, tell me!" Li Donglin's expression turned serious.
"Brother Li, according to your design, even if Dunzhu dies, his soul will be trapped here. But judging from the feedback from the Gu worms, his soul is gradually dissipating. This is not right!" Long Nier said.
"dissipate?"
Li Donglin frowned, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Quickly dig it open, something's happened inside!"
Without saying a word, Fatty Lin and I ran over, picked up the shovels, and started digging.
Long Nier is right. This is a trap to ensnare the soul, not a trap to destroy it. Dunzhu's soul should not be getting weaker and weaker.
