f a dull atmosphere. Qixia stood quietly aside, her eyes full of expectation and mystery.
Ouyang Xiaofeng pointed to an ancient text on the manuscript: “This embroidery needle is extraordinary. It can channel spirits and pick up ghosts. There is no evidence of life or death.” His eyes were firm, and his heart was full of curiosity and vigilance.
Qixia said softly: “This embroidery needle has sewn countless people’s mouths to death. It is a legendary embroidery needle. But the story behind it is even more bizarre. According to legend, this embroidery needle has the power to lead to another world, but every Every time you use it, you have to pay a heavy price.”
Ouyang Xiaofeng felt a chill running down his spine. He took a deep breath, determination flashing in his eyes: “I must understand all of this, no matter how heavy the price is.”
With in-depth research, they discovered The making of embroidery needles requires a rare petal called “Blood Rose”, which only grows in the mysterious Blood Moon Mountains. So, Ouyang Xiaofeng and Qixia embarked on a journey to the Blood Moon Mountains.
In the thick fog that blocked the sun from the mountains, they felt a strange atmosphere. Strange noises came from the deep woods, as if calling them. Ouyang Xiaofeng clenched the embroidery needle in his hand, feeling an inexplicable panic, but he couldn’t help but move forward.
Suddenly, a burst of eerie laughter sounded. They turned around and saw a group of ghostly shadows with distorted faces, silently surrounding them.
“You shouldn’t break into this place.” A hoarse-voiced leader from the shadow said.
Ouyang Xiaofeng nervously grasped the embroidery needle and asked bravely: “We are here to find the bloody rose. We will not leave, we only want to pass.” The
shadow leader sneered: “If you want to pass, you have to pay a price. Use your flesh and blood in exchange for it.” The right of passage.”
Ouyang Xiaofeng and Qixia’s hearts tightened, but they did not flinch. Suddenly, a ray of light flashed across the sky, and a mysterious creature appeared in front of them, dispelling the group of shadows.
Chapter 198 The gratitude is beyond words.
The creature, a mysterious beast with an eagle’s head, nodded slightly as if to encourage them. Ouyang Xiaofeng saluted the mysterious beast, his gratitude beyond words.
Walking through the sea of bloody roses, Ouyang Xiaofeng and Qixia felt a strange aura. This sea of flowers seems to be fluctuating consciously, and the faint and ancient sound of mantras is heard, making people shudder. They carefully walked through the sea of flowers and finally came to a gloomy ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall is majestic and simple, exuding a mysterious and dull atmosphere. The ancient stone bricks are engraved with ancient texts, which seem to tell the story of the past. Ouyang Xiaofeng gently held the embroidery needle and stared at the front.
Qixia looked deeply and whispered: “This is the secret place of embroidery needles. We must be careful to deal with possible dangers.” Ouyang
Xiaofeng tightened the embroidery needle in his hand, and suddenly, a shrill wail sounded, The two of them were almost speechless. The wailing sound seemed to be the shouts of the villagers. It was tragic and deep, and spread throughout the entire ancestral hall.
“These are the voices of the villagers. Why do they appear here?” Qixia asked doubtfully.
Ouyang Xiaofeng said thoughtfully: “I’m afraid the secret hidden in this embroidery needle is related to the history of the village. We must move on and find the truth.” They walked into the
depths of the ancestral hall, and there was a kind of shadow and silence. Inexplicable pain. Suddenly, they saw a vague figure in a dark corner, which seemed to be shouting at the top of its lungs.
“Repent…” The figure’s voice was full of pleading and despair, “Repent…”
Ouyang Xiaofeng’s heart was shocked, and he felt the figure’s pain and strong feeling of repentance. He walked towards the figure, trying to understand what was going on.

“Please… help me…” the figure said tremblingly, “I have committed a crime, but I am willing to repent.”
Ouyang Xiaofeng and Qixia stared at the trembling figure, and they could feel the pain in his heart. Torment and fear. Ouyang Xiaofeng decided to break the silence and try to understand this man’s crime.
“Please tell us what happened. Only by facing it frankly can you be saved.” Ouyang Xiaofeng’s voice was calm, but full of encouragement.
The figure trembled and began to tell about his crimes. He had strayed into the evil way in the village, touched the forbidden embroidery needle, and tried to use its power to gain wealth and power. However, the power of the embroidery needle was far beyond his control, causing him to bear countless injustices and crimes.
“I am willing to face my crime, and I am willing to bear all punishment.” The figure said hoarsely, with regret in his eyes.
Ouyang Xiaofeng and Qixia exchanged glances, and they could feel the sinner’s sincerity and regret. The key now is how to help him so that he can be saved.
“We will try our best to help you atone for your sins, but you must be willing to pay the price and repair the damage you caused.” Qixia said firmly.
After some reflection, they decided to help the sinner. Together, they formulated a plan to bring the sinner back to the village, face the villagers and tribesmen, and make sincere repentance and atonement.
As night falls, the moonlight looms over the village, making it particularly quiet. Ouyang Xiaofeng, Qixia and the sinner returned to the village and were taken to the ancestral hall by the village chief. The village chief looked at the criminal seriously, his face was solemn and his eyes were deep.
“Are you sincerely sorry?” The village chief’s voice was solemn and steady.
The sinner knelt down and nodded tremblingly, trying to suppress the fear and guilt in his heart. His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but didn’t dare.
Ouyang Xiaofeng understood his fear and comforted him softly: “Be brave and face your faults. Only by confessing truthfully can you be redeemed.” The
village chief was silent for a moment and nodded slowly. He understood that the sinner’s remorse was genuine. However, before he can be redeemed, he must face his crime and face the villagers.
The sinner trembled and raised his head, his eyes filled with tears and guilt. His lips trembled slightly, but he finally plucked up the courage and nodded, indicating that he was willing to confess.
The village chief solemnly conveyed their decision, and the villagers gathered in front of the ancestral hall. Ouyang Xiaofeng and Qixia also stood aside to support this painful and brave sinner.
The sinner trembled and gritted his teeth, as if making the most difficult decision. Finally, he suddenly stretched out his hands, picked up an embroidery needle, stabbed it hard, and inserted it into his mouth.
The villagers let out deafening screams as they witnessed this horrific and mysterious ritual. The embroidery needle penetrated the sinner’s lips, blood flowed, and he groaned, painful and tenacious.
“This is a confession for your past crimes.” The village chief’s voice resounded through the ancestral hall. “May your regret be blended into this embroidery needle and become the baptism of your soul.” The village chief solemnly announced: “According to the village rules
, Anyone who commits such a serious crime will receive the most severe punishment in the village, which is death. But this is also your only chance to wash away your sins.” The sinner trembled, his eyes filled with despair, but he did not resist
. He understands that this is the price he pays for the crimes he committed in the past. The villagers watched quietly, feeling uneasy and a little cold in their hearts.
