Five disciples stood there motionless.
These spirit beasts, however, felt an inexplicable pressure.
For in the eyes of these humans, they saw the gaze of the strong!
The five disciples remained still, yet they seemed to be muttering something softly.
After a minute, they finally moved!
The leading disciple held his hands in a cupped shape, as if holding something.
The other four lowered their hands simultaneously, using only their shoulders to support the coffin.
Then, the five people began to walk slowly forward.
The leading disciple maintained the cupped-hand posture, but his legs moved with an incredibly strange gait.
The other four held their hands raised near their stomachs, swaying gently from side to side.
Their waists swayed too.
The spirit beasts instinctively flinched.
It wasn't that the disciples' postures were uglier than before, but rather that they found them eerie.
It was a feeling of not sensing any danger, yet instinctively feeling a chill…
They walked slowly and stopped after a short while.
The leading disciple made a gesture, and the other four, carrying the coffin, slowly sat down on the ground.
Shaking their heads left and right.
Clapping their hands slowly.
Their legs and buttocks jiggled incessantly.
…
After maintaining this posture for a few minutes, they simply lay down on the ground.
Only their legs were left sticking out, kicking aimlessly.
Getting up and changing positions, they crawled on the ground on their knees!
Standing face to face, lifting the coffin and shaking it up and down vigorously!
Using their inner thighs to support the coffin, they waved their hands face to face!
As time passed, their movements became increasingly bizarre.
The coffin also swayed incessantly with the rise and fall of their bodies.
Most strangely, they maintained smiles throughout the entire process!
According to the village's sayings, the dead go to the pure land to enjoy bliss.
As their final journey before departure, they must be sent off with smiles.
Some of the timid spirit pets dared not watch anymore, trembling on the ground.
They didn't know why, but their bodies uncontrollably shivered.
They felt that this ritual contained something that instilled fear in them…
Er Ha and the little fox, however, seemed unaffected and watched with great interest.
The entire process lasted a full fifteen minutes.
After finally concluding the shamanistic ritual, the disciples gently placed the coffin back on the ground.
"Brother Ha, it's done," the five disciples hastily reported.
"Then open the lid," Er Ha said, clearly not having had enough and looking unsatisfied.
In fact, if the disciples hadn't reminded it, it would have forgotten that it was healing an ally…
As the lid was opened, Er Ha's face broke into a look of extreme joy!
The ally's complexion had not only returned to a normal ruddy hue, but his breathing had also become steady.
This method really worked!
Er Ha watched with delight, expecting its ally to jump up and move about.
The cultivator leader's expression was serene.
Just when he was in unbearable pain inside the coffin, he suddenly saw his long-dead grandfather waving to him.
He had been an orphan since childhood, and it was his grandfather who raised him.
Without his grandfather, let alone cultivate, he feared he would have starved to death long ago!
His grandfather's voice and appearance were so real just now, stirring the deepest buried longing in his heart.
And once this longing appeared, it was like a dam bursting, uncontrollable!
"Please close the lid for me, thank you," the leader said calmly as he opened his eyes.
He could no longer wait to see his grandfather again, to once again feel his warm embrace.
"Get to it!" Er Ha immediately commanded the five disciples.
The five disciples quickly closed the coffin lid.
"You guys, continue dancing," Er Ha commanded again.
In this situation, it was clear that its healing method was effective!
And the effect was very good!
See, the ally himself could feel it!
As long as these five two-legged beasts danced one more round, the ally would surely be cured!
Thinking of this, Er Ha's mood suddenly brightened.
Brother Ha, I truly am a genius!
I even thought of such a brilliant method!
I'm simply amazing!
The crane, however, was puzzled.
Strange?
This person was clearly on the verge of death before.
But after those people performed that strange ritual, his life force had actually returned.
This was not normal?
The five disciples were equally perplexed.
They had been doing this for decades before cultivating, and they were all too familiar with this situation!
This was clearly a deathbed hồi quang phản chiếu!
But since Brother Ha said to continue, let's continue!
Whether this person lives or dies is not our concern, we just need to perform diligently!
The bizarre ritual reappeared.
Er Ha was still contemplating.
It was now certain that its genius method was indeed effective.
However, its intuition told it that something was still missing…
"Brother Ha, why are you unhappy again?" the little fox asked, confused.
Er Ha explained its thoughts.
The little fox lowered its head and pondered for a minute.
"Brother Ha, I know, it's missing music!" the little fox said, seeking praise. "In our tribe's sacrifices, we used to beat gongs and drums, and humans seem to do the same."
"Brother Ha, leave it to me!" before Er Ha could speak, a peacock volunteered. "I'm good at imitating sounds. When my first master played instruments, I often imitated him!"
"Good, then it's up to you!" Er Ha nodded readily.
"Wooo-lee-wah! Wooo-lee-wah!"
The peacock tilted its head back, and a high-pitched suona sound echoed through the hall.
Admittedly, it sounded quite similar.
However, the suona sound seemed a bit eerie, even a little chilling…
Especially when combined with the five disciples' bizarre ritual…
In any case, the timid spirit beasts trembled uncontrollably…
Inside the coffin.
The chilling and terrifying aura had completely disappeared.
A radiant smile bloomed on the cultivator leader's face.
Everything around him vanished, and only a vast expanse of white mist remained in his eyes.
In the mist, his grandfather was smiling and waving to him.
"Grandpa!"
The leader felt as if he had returned to his childhood, happily running towards his grandfather.
…
Fifteen minutes later.
The coffin landed, and the lid was opened again.
The leader's expression was peaceful.
A faint smile even lingered on his lips.
However, his eyes never opened again.
"Brother Ha, I can't feel any life force from this person," the crane said slowly after a glance. "If nothing unexpected happens, he has completely died."
"I know…" Er Ha replied, its mood clearly very low.
It had also noticed that the life force of this ally had completely vanished.
The ally was dead…
Er Ha felt great sadness.
It gazed quietly at the ally in the coffin, mourning for him.
After ten seconds.
"Brothers! This ally has unfortunately left us!" Er Ha suddenly looked at the spirit beasts and said gravely. "But now is not the time for sorrow!"
"Look over there, there are still several more allies waiting for our treatment!" Er Ha raised its paw and pointed to other cultivators lying on the ground. "We must transform our grief into strength and strive to save them!"
"Yes, Brother Ha!" the spirit beasts responded with full spirit.
Hearing Er Ha's words, the remaining few cultivators felt utterly miserable!
Although they appeared to be unconscious, they, like the leader, were perfectly aware of everything that was happening around them!
They had just watched with their own eyes how their leader was tortured to death by these terrifying spirit beasts…
They wanted to escape.
But they couldn't move or speak now, and could only watch helplessly.
Watching these demons approach them step by step…
Soon, the second cultivator was placed in the coffin.
Watching the five disciples' bizarre ritual, Er Ha silently vowed.
Through the previous verification, its method was truly effective!
The reason the first ally had unfortunately passed away was simply due to bad luck.
But rest assured, I will definitely save you all!
"Wooo-lee-wah! Wooo-lee-wah!"
The chilling suona sound rang out again…
