I didn't act immediately, but after waiting for about five minutes, I estimated that the man and the old man had gone far away, then I suddenly burst out the soul power that I had been suppressing, and forcibly broke away from these ghosts, turned over and got out of bed. stood up.
Although the time of being pressed into bed was not long, it still had some effect. When I stood up suddenly, I felt a little dizzy and uncomfortable, as if I had turned over in a deep sleep, and my limbs were cold.
Those ghosts that were bounced back subconsciously counterattacked towards me in an instant. How could I let them get their way? Immediately, he took out two talismans from the yellow cloth bag and put them on the windows and doors with his backhand, blocking the escape route of these ghosts. The next step was just to close the door and beat the dogs.
There were about 10 resentful spirits in the room, including the ones that were clinging to Brother Chengxin. It was quite easy for me to do something with such a number, but only then did I discover a small problem. These ghosts and all the ghosts The ghosts in the lake are somewhat similar, that is, they are pure ghost bodies, but their self-awareness is already very weak.
But the difference is that these ghosts do not want the ghosts in the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts to have their self-awareness slowly eliminated and then be completely controlled by the city lord. However, the ghosts here feel as if they have started to become ghosts and their self-consciousness has gradually disappeared. It turned out like this... In other words, I folded the talisman containing the ghost in my hand into a triangle and put it in my backpack. However, I was shocked by my thoughts. My eyes widened and I wanted to put the talisman away immediately. Open it and release a ghost inside to study it, but things are urgent and I don’t have time to do this!
My idea is that the souls of these ghosts are not complete at all. The most critical souls that dominate the mind are not here at all. They are remnant souls.
The reason why this state makes me so moved is because they remind me of Xiao Chengqian's eldest cousin, who followed my master to search for Kunlun. After we took him back, we carefully checked his condition. I found that my eldest cousin was in a very miserable condition. He only had a body but no soul!
Therefore, he can make any movements (the seven souls correspond to the five senses and movements of a person), and can even perceive the outside world. Unfortunately, without a soul, he has no ability to think or react to things! If the body were not still alive, he... could be said to be in the form of a zombie! Only instinct remains... .
Isn't this very similar to the remnant soul here
"Chengyi, what are you thinking about?" I cleaned up these remnant souls very quickly, in less than two minutes. Since Brother Chengxin is a medical practitioner, he has no advantage in dealing with these guys. Only then did I finally wake up from the aftereffects of the ghost pressing on the bed, but seeing me in a daze in the room, I couldn't help but ask.
"The situation is a bit complicated, and I don't know what to say." I replied directly to Brother Chengxin. At this time, Ruyue's voice sounded in the courtyard.
"Third brother, brother Chengxin, are you okay?"
I quickly opened the door and saw that girl Ruyue had come out of her room and was now in the courtyard, walking towards us.
I already had an idea in my mind. After letting Ruyue come in, I quickly said: "There is something wrong with the whole town. I suspect that many aborigines in the town know the situation! I want to go out, but don't follow me. "
"Are you going alone?" Brother Chengxin was a little surprised.
"Yeah, the target would be too big for three people to go, and I vaguely feel that this matter is related to a major secret. Although we haven't found Liu Weijun yet, I think we may have a huge harvest before that! But... .. As long as it involves secrets, it will definitely be accompanied by danger. I will go alone. If I don't come back by 5 o'clock in the morning or close to dawn, you should leave immediately and gather everyone to find reinforcements. Do you understand?" I said. The speed was getting faster and faster, and at the same time I glanced at the mist (Yin Qi) outside the window. I quickly took out the red rope from the cloth bag and began to tie the knot on myself skillfully.
Rope knotting is one of the techniques that my master is best at. It can be said that several of the knotting techniques are unique secrets of our Lao Li lineage. Just like this Cynomorium knot, it has many uses, but it is the most magical! Many other lineages, even Taoists with large lineage inheritance, must use talismans above blue to achieve this effect.
Why is it magical? Because its function is equivalent to an 'invisibility charm', which means becoming invisible in front of ghosts or zombies! Because it locks the Yang Qi, in front of these existences, I am like a ghost, a wandering soul!
"Chengyi..."
"Third brother..."
Hearing what I said, Brother Chengxin and Ruyue called me worriedly at the same time. After all, judging from my words, this matter might be really dangerous. How could they not be worried
"This matter is related to the whereabouts of Master and the others. We are not allowed to act arbitrarily. Everything is based on the overall situation. If we are all killed, people outside will not get the news. Do you understand?" I tied the rope. The knot was getting faster and faster, and as the Yang Qi was locked, my body began to get cold, and I had to hurry up.
"Well, just in case, Ruyue and I will stay here together and wait for you until 5 o'clock in the morning." Brother Chengxin gritted his teeth and made a decision quickly. After all, he is a man, compared to a woman In other words, we need to be more decisive and rational.
Ruyue still looked at me worriedly. I had already tied the knot and touched Ruyue's hair with cold hands like I did when I was a child. I said, "It's okay. No matter how dangerous it is, we won't come here together." ?"
After saying that, I didn't dare to waste any more time, opened the door without looking back, rushed into the small courtyard, and also rushed into the misty night!
---------Dividing line---------
The small courtyard is quiet, and the diffuse mist makes the temperature here at least many degrees lower than inside the house. It is as cold as the winter in Sichuan. In order not to affect my activities, I don’t wear too many clothes, and because the Yang Qi is locked, I can’t enter After entering the small courtyard, I felt even colder.
I originally wanted to open the door and go out immediately, but when I turned around, I saw that the door of the old man's main house was open. I couldn't resist the idea of going in and taking a look. When he left during the day, he told us not to enter the house. I thought it was nothing, but after such a weird thing happened, I had to suspect that there might be some shady secret in this house!
Time does not allow me to hesitate. After all, the old man and the others have gone far away, and I can't follow them at all. I can only investigate by myself, which takes time! In addition, if the Cynomorium Knot is tied on my body for a long time, my body will suffer endless troubles or even die due to lack of yang energy, so I made a decision quickly.
I rushed into the old man's main house. Because there was no light on, it was dark. It was also filled with a decaying sour smell that had not been cleaned for a long time. The mist blocked the moonlight and I couldn't see anything. , and didn't dare to turn on the light, so he could only take out a lighter and light up the room.
The house finally lit up under the light of the lighter, but the first picture that came into view shocked me.
In the old man's house, there was something similar to a shrine. Inside, there was a half-human-sized skeleton, black, with stains of blood on it... a human skeleton! ! This suddenly reminded me of Lin Jianguo, what he once worshiped... However, this is different from what the old man worshiped, because what he worshiped should be the bones of a monster, while what the old man worshiped were real human bones!
This... I was silent, then looked around with a lighter, and found several photos on the wall, one of which was a family photo, one of a couple, and two photos of the two children.
I only recognized one person in the photo, and that was the old man, who should have looked like him when he was young, and the other people in the photo should be his family. The two children were two boys. I was surprised. Obviously there were Two sons, why do you say you are a lonely old man? Could it be that, except for himself, his family members were all dead
I couldn't think of an answer. I wanted to explore the house carefully, but I found that I couldn't afford to waste time. These were probably the only secrets worth delving into. I was silent for a moment, turned around and was about to walk out of the house... only to find that on the old sofa in the house, there was a random Throwing two things, I thought for a moment, picked up one of the things, strode out of the house, opened the door and went out.
The thing I held in my hand was a black cloak. If there was only one, I would definitely not touch it, but when I found two, I wondered if it might be something that this old man often uses. , will you be so prepared
Such a weird thing must not be used during the day, so it reminds me of his behavior of going out in the middle of the night... So, just in case, I just grabbed one.
After closing the door, the alley outside the door was filled with fog as well as the yard. I looked up and looked around, and found that the fog had filled the entire town, and the whole town was dark. However, after I went out, I could hear the sound coming from the distance. There was a thin, broken sound, like many footsteps rushing towards one place.
But the place where the old man lives is extremely quiet. There are several families here side by side. Could it be that they have all gone out
There was no target to follow, but that didn't stop me. After discovering the scent of ghosts wandering in the alley, I thought of a way to find the target to follow.
That is - opening the eyes of heaven!
