The altar of the practice cannot be intruded at will, let alone this kind of ritual of recruiting ghosts.
The ghost-calling technique passed down by the ancestors of the Zhong family seems to be righteous, but this method of using human blood as a guide to call out ghosts is not the right way after all. In front of such a chilling altar, if you break in at will, even an immortal who has cultivated into an immortal bone and an immortal soul will be injured one or two times, not to mention the mortal body of Qin Cheng.
But Qin Cheng doesn't understand these things, and he can't control so much at this moment. There is only one thought in his mind, that is to destroy the tomb thief's formation, maybe it can help Su Jingmo.
But I don't understand at all how to destroy Qin Cheng. Among those practices, the aspect of the fragrant smoke drifting away is the aspect of the ghost claw's action...
That is the incense that leads the way. Every year when I go home to worship my ancestors, I will bring incense and paper money.
Qin Chengde's idea is not wrong, but it is not completely correct. The ghosts have already protruded their claws. If the incense is extinguished at this moment, the ghosts who have already arrived in the world will not be able to obey the orders of people and leave...
The five people who practiced it never thought that one person would suddenly break in and destroy the guide incense, messing up the spirit of the altar formation. And the ghost claw that was looking for Su Jingmo paused for a moment.
There are thousands of ghosts in the underworld, some ghosts are transformed after death, and some are transformed from strange beasts.
The formation of this ghost is inherently ruthless, and the ghosts that attract the ghosts are naturally the ghosts who are located in the bottom eight cold hells of the hell that are cracked like a big red lotus hell. It is rumored that this ghost is extremely ugly, his eyes cannot see but his ears cannot hear, and his body cannot sense temperature, so that he can impose the most brutal punishment on sinful souls without mercy. The peeled body is more and more broken into hundreds of petals.
The eyes can't see but the ears can't hear, the body can't sense the warmth, the only incense that guides the way is lost, and the ghosts who have come from hell to the human world are naturally unable to perceive the ghosts that need to be taken away. The already brutal ghost was instantly furious.
The long ghost claws lost their direction, and Tan Cheng only heard a shrill roar, and the ghost claws plunged directly into the body of the young man nearby, pulling the young man's soul out of his body!
Tan Cheng, who was watching all this, took a few steps back in fear, but how could he escape when he was already in the formation.
Qin Cheng felt that everything in front of him was less real than a dream. The young man who was dragged out of his soul fell to the ground with wide-eyed and frightened eyes. He was obviously out of breath, but then Qin Cheng found that the ground under his feet had become abnormal. It was originally at night. The dark soil actually revealed red and blue light.
Looking down subconsciously, the scene in front of him made Qin Cheng take a deep breath.
It is like an upside-down pyramid with as many as eight layers, and this pyramid is full of howling ghosts, and they are subjected to all kinds of terrible punishments. With blisters, blister cracks, and ghosts, the entire body is deformed and split into five and six petals, no longer in human form...
This is hell... Tan Cheng, who had these words in his head, couldn't stop shaking and fell to the ground. The scene in front of him made his stomach churn and he was extremely disgusting.
And the ghost claw holding the young man's soul directly dragged the young man into the bottom and the most terrifying place...
"Help, help!"
Tan Cheng didn't know who was shouting, he could only see the ghost claw sticking out from hell again, and poking in the direction where Tan Cheng was...
"you wanna die!"
A familiar voice sounded above his head, and before Tan Cheng raised his head, he was dragged up by Su Jingmo, dodging the ghost's claws, and the middle-aged man behind Tan Cheng was not so lucky. Originally, the middle-aged man was injured because of Qin Cheng's chaos in the formation, but at this moment there was no way to avoid it.
I didn't expect Su Jingmo to appear here, let alone save him...
"Can't you leave the tomb?"
Glancing at Qin Cheng, Su Jingmo couldn't help frowning. He should always be vigilant in the face of danger. No matter how he hides, he still has the mind to think about other issues.
"I'm afraid this formation has created a passage." That ghost messenger can penetrate the ghost claw into the tomb, which means that he should also be able to get out through this medium...
After the incense that led the way was extinguished, he was actually able to move freely. He didn't need to care about what happened outside or who died. He only needed to leave the passage created by the formation and return to the tomb.
But when he saw the ghost claw reaching out to Tan Cheng, the man who seemed to be very alert did not hide, so he wanted to destroy the smiling face mask of the smiling emperor.
Su Jingmo is a ghost. He can directly enter the ditch through the formation, and then retreat completely, but Tan Cheng can't. He has a physical body, and his physical body is trapped in this formation and cannot leave, so he avoids the ghost's claw again. Arrested, Qin Cheng looked at Su Jingmo, who had not left, and suddenly became calm for some reason.
"Am I going to die?"
At the same time when he asked this sentence, one of the tomb robbers was dragged to hell by ghost claws, while Su Jingmo, who was holding Qin Cheng's wrist tightly, was stunned by his words.
Opening his mouth, Su Jingmo didn't know how to answer for the first time.
, "I didn't fully understand what happened to Daxu, and I didn't know if Zhang Qishuo would blame me..." He looked down at the purgatory under his feet, "But... I'm afraid I won't meet him..."
After saying this, for some unknown reason, the long-haired Tan Cheng staring at Su Jingmo suddenly smiled, stepped forward, and hugged him from behind Su Jingmo, aware that Su Jingmo wanted to break away, Tan Cheng hurriedly Said: "Although I haven't been able to help you find out, but I've been busy recently, and I want something in return."
Speaking of which, Qin Cheng let go of Su Jingmo, walked to the person in front of him, leaned over and kissed the other person's lips.
The kiss like a touch of water made Su Jingmo's mood complicated. This person's attitude towards him was always ambiguous, and the meaning of this kiss... Even if the person didn't say it, Su Jingmo knew what it was.
From birth to this world, from princes worshipped by thousands to emperors above ten thousand, there are many courtiers who are loyal to him Su Jingmo, and some who work for him, but they are loyal to Emperor Su Jingmo, not him Stunning ink...
This person is not in awe of him, not worship, but... pity from the bottom of his bones...
Su Jingmo didn't push him away, which was what Tan Cheng didn't expect, "You..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Cheng saw that the aura around Su Jingmo's body suddenly changed from usual, and the cold ghost aura that erupted in that moment reduced the surrounding temperature by a few points.
Pulling out his sword, Su Jingmo pulled Qin Cheng behind him and faced the ghost claw.
"retreat!"
Maybe it was because the breath was too terrifying, and the action of the hell ghost could not help but pause,
Su Jingmo's long sword lay across his chest, closed his eyes, and disappeared in front of Qin Cheng like a ghost without making a sound.
When he saw Su Jingmo again, Su Jingmo had already chopped off Gui Cha Senbai's hand.
Ghosts were also human before they died, and they would still be afraid of powerful things. This is different from the ghosts of the past, and the sudden outburst of ghostly spirits is something he has never encountered before. Originally, he was a little scared and wanted to retreat, but his hand was cut off at the next moment. This shame made the ghosts furious. In disregard of the laws of the underworld, thousands of resentful souls were instantly released from the bottom of the Eight Cold Hells.
The ghosts who have been trapped in the underworld for thousands of years and have been tortured into strange shapes are like escaped criminals, flocking to the world frantically!
Qu Zhiwen, who was forced to come to the ancient tomb by Jiang Ping, said helplessly: "I said I can't run away, you don't have to be so wary of Deputy Director Jiang, and I have already said that I can't help you with this case. Busy, it seems to me that those people were killed by ghosts, you have to find out who is behind it, how is this possible? Could it be that you asked me to tie those ghosts to the police station?"
Jiang Ping walked up to Qu Zhiwen and said, "Didn't you tell me last time that those tomb robbers might attack tonight?" As a policeman, I naturally cannot allow this kind of theft of national cultural relics, right? "
In fact, what Jiang Ping didn't say was that although the light was not good and he couldn't see clearly that night, he always felt that one of the tomb robbers had seen it, but he couldn't remember it, but he suddenly realized the day before yesterday. Remember where he had seen the man.
Jiang Ping doesn't like antiques, but his father likes these things. He often collects some strange 'cultural relics', which are always said to be from the Qin and Han Dynasties, and he remembers that his father once came from a man named Qi. He bought a copper pot, and when he came home, he happened to meet this man coming out of his house. Although he only met once, Jiang Ping, a criminal policeman, habitually observed the characteristics of the other party, one of which was what the man said. Accent, this person is not from Xi'an, he came from Shanxi, and the accent is very different from them.
However, among the tomb robbers I saw that night, one of them was the same person who sold the copper pot to his father in both body shape and accent!
Yesterday, he deliberately went home and asked about the man's condition. What surprised Jiang Ping the most was that it was said that this man surnamed Qi had been a tomb guard for generations. The activities around him are very clear. If trees die, tombstones collapse, and long snakes appear, he will quickly report to the family. suffer greater punishment...
The tomb keeper who can see ghosts becomes a tomb robber
Jiang Ping could not find any connection between the surnamed Qi and the murder case, but his intuition told him that there was something wrong with this person.
"I don't care about ghosts, but if someone uses ghosts to achieve their goals, it will be different."
Qu Zhiwen looked at Jiang Ping who said this, and sighed a little. Speaking of which, this person is really a rare good policeman in this world. Maybe after this person dies, he will become the second Bao Zheng in the underworld.
Without saying anything, Qu Zhiwen quietly followed Jiang Ping up, but Qu Zhiwen, who was about to reach his destination, clenched his fists and frowned.
"Not good! Something went wrong!"
After he finished speaking, he passed Jiang Ping and ran forward first.
