Master Xuanling's words are not difficult to understand.
This is like, when Fangzheng went to the shadows in the past, he encountered empty towns and ghost towns.
The only person he can see is the victim who went to the underworld to find out the cause of death.
Without a ray of resentment from the victim during his lifetime, he would not be able to go out of the shadows and enter the spiritual world of the deceased.
Therefore, Master Xuanling said that these dead people on Huangquan Road were all grievances in life, and their obsessions lingered in the spiritual world of the dead, so it is not difficult to understand.
In a real sense, these dead people are not ghosts, nor are they ghosts descending into the underworld after death.
It's all just a mouthful of resentment and unwillingness to be reconciled, lingering in the spiritual world after death.
After thinking about all this, Fangzheng couldn't help being taken aback.
Although there are great differences between the Yin world and the underworld in folklore, there are still similarities in some details.
And this just proves that the origins of the various folk legends about the underworld are not groundless, but some exaggerations, assumptions, and people's supplementary details about the mysterious world after death have been added.
On the empty streets of the city where only Daoist Xuan Ling and Fang Zheng were left, footsteps became more and more loud.
Those footsteps came from behind the dark mist.
Only when he approached Fangzheng, could Fangzheng see the dead man making these footsteps.
If you didn't get close to Fangzheng's side, you would be surrounded by darkness. When you look up, you can only see the blurred outlines of tall buildings standing like ghostly shadows.
It gave Founder a sense of fog and haze in London in the last century.
When passing the road in front of Zhang Zuoren's house, Master Xuanling didn't intend to bring Fangzheng closer, but continued on his way.
The two passed by the road in front of the door, seven or eight meters away from Zhang Zuoren's house, and they couldn't fully see Zhang Zuoren's house in the hazy and dark vision.
"Huh?"
In the direction of Zhang Zuoren's house, a faint yellow light came faintly, and the dim light was very weak, so the lighting range was extremely limited.
The evening lights pierced out from behind the hazy black mist, reflecting a very vague figure.
Fangzheng was subconsciously attracted by this scene.
He felt that the fuzzy figure in Zhang Zuoren's house seemed to be watching him and the real Xuanling passing by on the road in front of the door.
It's just that Master Xuanling pretended not to see it and led the way.
Fangzheng didn't dare to delay, he was worried that if he really got lost on Huangquan Road.
Before leaving, Fang Zheng looked back thoughtfully, seeing the dim lights and blurred figures behind the darkness.
The figure's body curves and long hair seem to be women... and referring to the height of the surrounding buildings and the height of the dim light from the ground, is that Li Qianqian behind the window of Li Qianqian's rental house on the second floor
"Really, why didn't Li Qianqian take to the streets like everyone else?"
Fangzheng saw the dim light behind him getting farther and farther away, and he could no longer see Li Qianqian on the second floor. After hesitating for a moment, he asked out his doubts.
"Death is like a lamp going out. After the lamp goes out, Li Qianqian's last bit of residual consciousness dissipates. She takes to the streets and follows these walking corpses, walking aimlessly on the road to Huangquan. Ten years, one hundred years, and so on."
"Why is this happening?" Fangzheng continued to ask curiously.
Now that he has cultivated, the only shortcoming at present is that because he has no teacher, he has to open up the path of practice alone, so these are likely to be just common sense professional knowledge, which is precisely where he is most deficient.
"Do you still remember how Li Qianqian died?"
"Being innocently implicated and died in vain." Fangzheng replied.
Master Xuanling continued to point Fangzheng as he walked, "That's right, because Li Qianqian died in vain, so Li Qianqian felt resentment after her death, and this unreconciled resentment will linger in the spiritual world after death, and will always be Wandering and wandering on Huangquan Road. When the resentment dissipates, she will walk out of Huangquan Road and no longer exist in the world of Yin. "
"Because Li Qianqian died not long ago, she still retains some instincts or memories of her life, so she didn't take to the streets immediately. However, based on the time of Li Qianqian's death, she is also fast. As time goes by, she still retains Some of the instincts or memories she kept are getting more and more forgotten, and she can't escape the fate of becoming a walking dead following the crowd in the end."
"In layman's terms, you can think of this phenomenon as a person whose brain wave magnetic field is the most active not long after his untimely death. When the peak value of the brain wave magnetic field drops, Li Qianqian will walk out of the rental house, and then an ordinary member of the big stream .”
According to Master Xuanling, the brainwave activity of this kind of residual after death, ordinary people will not exceed one month.
Because the soul of a practitioner is stronger than that of an ordinary person, it will be calculated according to the situation. Generally speaking, if the night wanderer dies in vain, it may last for ten or twenty years.
After listening to Master Xuanling's explanation, Fangzheng couldn't help but get entangled in one thing.
His soul is stronger than ordinary night tour guides, and he is still practicing, and he will only get higher and higher in the future. If he accidentally farts one day, wouldn't he be much worse than Li Qianqian, at least a hundred years old
Since listening to Master Xuanling's explanation, Fangzheng began to pay attention to those special dead people along the way.
Sure enough, with this attention, Fangzheng really found a lot of "special people".
There are people who are wet all over. This person should have died of falling into the water or being thrown into the river.
There are those who drive a half-car and stop at the intersection.
Needless to say, this person should have died in a traffic accident at an intersection. The car accident was so tragic that the car was broken in half, leaving only the front half of the car body.
Another pedestrian was repeatedly killed by a piece of glass on the sidewalk.
Repeatedly.
He was crushed to death again and again.
Apparently the man died from a falling object.
Along the way, Fangzheng was not idle, he began to humbly ask Master Xuanling for various professional knowledge. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, I will seek answers to some of the confusions and problems I encountered in the past, and make up for my shortcomings in this area.
Just keep walking all the way, and you can see some special dead people from time to time. But because of the problem of vision, the probability of bumping into them is not high. Yunshi had to go out, and only encountered three special dead people.
These are ordinary people.
The dead practitioner did not see it.
Dole! Dole! Dole!
Just when the two of them walked out of the boundary of Yun City, in the hazy darkness, they heard the sound of axes cutting wood.
One stroke, very powerful.
This is especially harsh on Huangquan Road where there are only footsteps in the hazy darkness.
Not long after walking out, Fangzheng finally saw who the logger was.
More precisely, there should be a dead person blocking in front of the two of them.
No matter how he and Master Xuanling walked, the dead man would always appear in front of the two of them on the only road they had to pass, and then repeatedly cut wood with the ax in his hand.
