When Xiao Zhengyi and his party entered the "Master" tent, they found that it was unexpectedly bright inside.
Obviously there is no light in sight, and there are no windows (although even if there are windows at night, it is useless), but the tent is not as dark as it should be.
The big square tent is filled with an elegant sandalwood fragrance, and the furnishings inside are also very simple, the furniture is just a low table with a crystal ball on it, and there is also a scarlet shrine, a statue carved from unknown wood. Buddha statues, and crosses with crucifixes...
"Even here is a hodgepodge..."
Xiao Zhengyi complained helplessly.
"Wait a minute, don't move yet." At this time, Tianzijian Jianling, who was floating behind Chen Tuwa, suddenly said.
"What's wrong?"
Fang Xiaoqing, who was already a little nervous, asked quickly.
"This is illusion." The sword spirit girl squinted her eyes, looked at the surrounding environment carefully, and said in amazement: "It's unbelievable... I always thought that this level of illusion had been lost more than a thousand years ago, but I didn't expect it to be so. Can still see."
"Illusion?" Xiao Zhengyi looked around, but couldn't tell where the illusion was: "Which one is the illusion?"
"All of them."
The sword spirit girl replied without thinking: "Stand back a little, I'll see if I can break this illusion."
"Wait, according to the routine of horror movies, as soon as you touch this illusion, the other party will find us, right?"
Chen Tuwa suddenly said: "I think it's better to take a long-term view..."
"Master, that... You seem to be a little late?"
Tianzijian Jianling turned around in embarrassment, following her words, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.
It is no longer the kind of bright and majestic, simple decoration but looks refreshing and generous, but it has returned to the dim and narrow that a normal tent should have.
What is even more unpleasant is that, except for the entrance side, there are short and long three-layer vermilion desks on the other three walls of the tent, on which many wooden signs are unevenly placed , It looks like an ancestral hall enshrining spiritual tablets.
"Wow, this is really a scene from a horror movie..."
Chen Tuwa, who always felt that her words came true, scratched her head in distress.
"At this point, it's too late to leave, so let's quickly search here to see if there is any gain!"
Xiao Zhengyi didn't intend to waste time, and said with a final word.
Since the other two people followed, they were more or less mentally prepared for this situation, so they didn't talk nonsense and began to search for useful clues in this changed tent.
"There are words on these wooden plaques... '顕试公顿阿先生君丹西莲座' Is this a memorial tablet?"
Fang Xiaoqing guessed uncertainly.
"No, to be precise, it should be the spirit seat of a person named Chen Qingzhou after his death. '顕考' means that this person has no elders when he dies, 'fujun' is a respectful title for the deceased, 'sheng Xilianbit' is a term used by Buddhists to save the dead."
Chen Tuwa picked up a spiritual tablet and looked at it carefully, and at the same time explained casually: "It's normal if you don't know, this should be more common in the countryside. My third aunt's house has this kind of tablet."
"What do you mean, are all the spirits of the dead here?"
Xiao Zhengyi's expression darkened upon hearing this.
There are at least a thousand wooden plaques in this tent. If all of them are really spiritual places, it will really make people feel chills in the back.
"It would be great if that's the case." Chen Tuwa smiled wryly: "The writing on the spiritual tablet here is roughly divided into two colors, white and gold. If I guessed correctly, the gold writing is the real dead, and the white writing The one who was killed by the so-called 'master'!"
"How did you know?"
Xiao Zhengyi asked curiously.
"Because I saw Ding Yang's spirit card, it's over there, written in white letters..."
Chen Tuwa pointed to a spiritual tablet not far away and replied.
"What the hell is that master doing?" Fang Xiaoqing still didn't understand, seeing Xiao Zhengyi's expression of enlightenment under Chen Tuwa's reminder, she couldn't help asking.
"Xiaoqing, is there any strange story in your hometown like 'the drowned ghost looking for a substitute'?" Xiao Zhengyi didn't answer her directly, but asked rhetorically.
"Is it the way adults scare children by saying that someone drowned in a certain river, and his ghost is looking for a scapegoat, so that children don't go swimming?"
Having said that, Fang Xiaoqing hammered her palm as if she understood something: "You mean, the victims this time were actually possessed by the original owner of the spirit seat?"
"That's right, this can explain how the rumors that the 'master' is very good at work came out... Even the person who was treated was turned into an evil spirit for many years. Of course, they said that the work is not good. Forget it."
"It's just a guess, but in any case, it's better to take Ding Yang's spiritual seat first, and we are almost ready to withdraw."
Xiao Zhengyi carefully listened to the commotion outside, and felt that the commotion seemed to be gradually getting smaller, so he said decisively.
It's a pity that it's still a little late.
"Unfortunately, you can't go anywhere."
At this moment, a figure wearing a cloak and a hood appeared in the room soundlessly.
Although the other party did not declare her family background, her familiar attire wrapped in a cloak made them immediately understand that this guy was the final boss, the mysterious "Master".
Xiao Zhengyi was the first to react.
Almost subconsciously, he swung the Yuan Rong Sword, which was only in half, and slashed at the opponent!
But before the blade touched the opponent, the "master" stretched out his hand and made a motion of pushing outward.
Seeing that Xiao Zhengyi was hit by a high-speed car, the whole person flew backwards, hit the table heavily, the three-layer tabletop was directly broken, and the spiritual tablet placed on it was smashed His face.
"Fuck, the Force?!"
Chen Tuwa was shocked.
"You actually watched that movie?!"
Tianzijian Jianling was shocked.
"I think your surprise is in the wrong place..."
Fang Xiaoqing, who was also shocked at first, had to complain.
"Dare to break into my territory, I have to admire your courage." The 'master' slowly walked towards them, but no one dared to underestimate the power hidden in that thin body: "But I have to Don't say... you are looking for your own death."
"What the hell are you?"
Chen Tuwa seemed to give up struggling, just stared at the other party and asked, "Isn't it too much to want to be a ghost before I die?"
"Hmph, you really have a lot of thoughts... But if you expect that guy who made a big fuss in the east to come and save you, I'm afraid you're going to make a mistake. Didn't you realize that there's no sound coming from that side now? ?”
The 'Master' sneered: "Forget it, I'll let you all understand."
…
The so-called "master" was originally a ghost wandering in the nether world.
Like the vast majority of ghosts whose souls are uneven and cannot be reincarnated, it has almost no memory of its life, and can only wander around the River of Forgetfulness by instinct, day after day, year after year.
Originally, as long as it fused with other remnant souls beside the River of Forgetfulness, it would be able to cross the River of Forgetfulness and reach the other shore, but some problems occurred—a powerful existence from the yang world was entrenched near it. Disrupting its behavior, even if the soul is replenished, it has not crossed the river of forgetfulness, but is still devouring other remnant souls.
Gradually, the remnant soul could no longer satisfy its appetite, so she even began to attack the normal soul that was about to cross the river of forgetfulness...
In the end, it became one of the most deformed ghosts with the mixture of countless souls.
"ghost mother"
If it just develops according to the normal situation, its distortion will definitely attract the attention of various powerful beings in the underworld and put them out.
But about a month ago, someone opened the gate of the underworld near it to a certain extent, and summoned the existence entrenched at the crossing of the underworld.
And the ghost mother also took advantage of that opportunity to sneak out of the underworld.
Sunshine is no different from poison to most ghosts. To be able to live normally in the yang world, what is needed is a physical body.
Therefore, the ghost mother possessed an ordinary middle-aged woman, and began to secretly help the woman's daily life; this made the woman trust the ghost mother very quickly, and even became dependent.
So the ghost mother took advantage of the moment when the other party completely let go of her defenses, devoured the other party's soul, and became the master of this body.
But the ghost mother, as a combination of souls, is too powerful for ordinary people's bodies, and the energy that can be exerted by herself in this world is limited, so the ghost mother simply made the spiritual bits that Xiao Zhengyi and the others had seen, and then The souls in the body were separated one by one and attached to those spiritual seats, and one by one as the back spirits attached to rich businessmen or high-ranking officials, letting them gradually squeeze out the living souls of the original owner of the body.
Once the back spirit completely occupies a person's body, then that person's living soul will be attached to it by the original spirit position of the back spirit.
In this way, as long as the ghost mother washes away all her memories, and then devours and separates them once, it is equivalent to having an extra soul that can be manipulated...
As for Ding Yang with a certain level of cultivation, as a hundred-year-old ghost who has fused countless souls, the ghost mother can naturally see his extraordinaryness at a glance, so she didn't fool him like ordinary people, and then let the soul behind him He used water to grind his body to occupy his body, but took advantage of his unpreparedness and directly took his physical body by force.
…
Before the other party finished explaining, Chen Tuwa made a sudden move without warning, and the Tianzi sword pierced the other party's head!
Immediately, the sword spirit girl leaned into the sword, and a sword energy was born in vain, splitting the opponent's head in half in an instant!
"Sorry, if it's not a movie... There is no invincible time for commentary."
Chen Tuwa shook the sticky dark red plasma on the sword, and added with relief.
However, the reality did not give him time to be proud.
"Jie Jie Jie, boy, you are very good, your mind and will are the best choice... After you become the soul behind my subordinates, I will definitely use you again!"
Even though his head had been split in half, the other party was still able to speak, and there was no trace of hurt in his tone. On the contrary, he still had room to praise Chen Tuwa, which made Chen Tuwa's heart sink to the bottom.
The black cloak was stabbed and cracked, revealing the horrible flesh that seemed to have been peeled off, with muscle fibers, bone blood vessels clearly visible.
It is no longer the appearance of a human being, but a feeling similar to that of a termite queen. The upper body seems to be made of several people like plasticine, like a disgusting monster, while the lower body is purely made of countless people still alive. The slowly wriggling internal organs are combined with flesh and blood, and several pairs of huge "egg sacs" with human palms as legs are distributed on both sides.
"Isn't the brain the key..."
Stared at by more than a dozen intact eyeballs on the upper body of the ghost mother, Chen Tuwa couldn't help but look a little pale. If she hadn't been leaning on the Tianzi sword, she might have been a little unsteady.
"Well, if all the grievances in the Tianzi Sword hadn't been blown away, this century-old brat..."
The sword spirit girl who found out that her sword master was in a bad situation didn't look too good either, so she could only speak bitterly.
Fang Xiaoqing looked like she was about to vomit because of the terrifying and disgusting appearance of the ghost mother's body.
However, the female police officer's psychological quality is still passable. She gritted her teeth and didn't let herself spit it out. Instead, she wrapped "thousands of gold chains + 1" on her own gun, so that the bullet could theoretically hurt the soul. class, and then she nervously pointed the gun at him.
It's a pity that the bullet is too small to cause fatal damage to the opponent.
"This is really... everything is over..." Chen Tuwa looked around helplessly, feeling that there seemed to be no other way but to resist desperately.
"Not necessarily."
After finally struggling out of the pile of spiritual positions, with blood still flowing from his forehead, Xiao Zhengyi, who looked embarrassed, showed a smile: "It's almost time..."
"Don't give up, no matter what... Wait a minute, what's the matter with the spiritual tablet in your hand!" The ghost mother seemed to want to make a wave of ridicule, but the dozen or so eyes on her body were involuntarily blocked. The spiritual tablet in Xiao Zhengyi's hand was attracted.
It was a spirit card with no difference in appearance from an ordinary spirit card. If there is any difference, it is only that there is no word on this spirit card.
"This spirit card was originally written in white characters." Xiao Zhengyi threw away the spirit card in his hand, wiped the blood on his face, and said with a smile: "The spirit behind the bird occupying the dove's nest and occupying the body has been cleaned up." If so, isn’t it normal for the original living soul to return to the body?”
"No, it's impossible... this kind of thing!"
The ghost mother finally started to look a little panicked.
"What? Haven't you noticed... From the very beginning, the reason we are here is to attract your attention and try to hold you back, preventing you from doing some desperate things-such as destroying the victim It's just a living soul thing."
Xiao Zhengyi shook his collar, and there was a small radio microphone that was not obvious, and then he raised the Yuan Rong Sword again, but this time, the Yuan Rong Sword was wrapped with a "five cents bracelet + 2".
"So our mission is this..." Chen Tuwa sighed: "I said, uncle, you didn't talk to us before, I really thought we were going to die, okay?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but isn't there a saying that goes like this: To deceive the enemy, you must first deceive your own people!"
Xiao Zhengyi laughed and explained to the upset Chen Tuwa.
"I'm going to kill you!"
But the ghost mother who was tricked was obviously not in a good mood.
In her rage, all the ghosts in the scarlet letter spirits were summoned, countless ghosts fluttered in the air, and the gloomy ghostly aura caused the surrounding temperature to drop by nearly ten degrees. Fang Xiaoqing couldn't help shivering!
At the moment when those evil spirits were about to pounce on them under the command of the ghost mother and eat them up, the tent was destroyed.
It was like a 12th-level gale blowing against everyone's scalps, the wind swept past without warning, and the tent was swept away, and those hundreds of ghosts disappeared together with the tent.
"I'm sorry..." In the direction of the strong wind, a little black cat ran over calmly with catwalks: "I seem to be a little late~"
"It's too slow!" Xiao Zhengyi complained involuntarily: "If I hadn't procrastinated for time, this place would have almost been wiped out!"
"Sorry, it took me a lot of time to get rid of the ghosts one by one and apply memory correction (physical) to the victims who are still alive."
The little black cat laughed: "Also, your earphone hurts when it's clipped to my ear, so it's okay for me to throw it away after listening to this guy's explanation?"
"That thing is expensive, okay... Forget it, anyway, this time it can be reimbursed at public expense..."
Seeing a person and a cat chatting like old friends, the ghost mother couldn't believe her eyes.
Is this the cat that ruined all his plans
However, just when she wanted to make trouble, she found that she couldn't even move a single tentacle in front of the other party.
——Spirit creatures are often the most sensitive creatures. Without the restraint of the physical body, they can perceive the strengths and weaknesses of others more clearly.
Even though the ghost mother had created such a physical body for herself in order to live in the underworld, her instincts as a ghost remained.
Even though it couldn't perceive the black cat's strength, its instinct made it feel as if it had encountered the highest-level predator in the underworld, and it couldn't even rise to resist.
What kind of monster is this cat!
"If you don't have anything else to say, let's stop here." Although the black cat had no expression on his face, the ghost mother always felt that the other party seemed to have a bad smile: "Dare to play on my territory!" This kind of game... If you give back your words, you are asking for your own death!"
The next moment, the ghost mother who hadn't reacted was completely wiped out in this world by Xu Shenxing's cat's claw.
