Xiao Chengqian and I turned around at the same time, and we immediately determined that the sound of chuckles was not made by humans. Human voices are made by vibrating vocal cords, which are very substantial. The sound of chuckles was so erratic, only One possibility is that it’s a ghost sound!
This is probably a bit funny. Two dignified descendants of the Shanzi lineage are not afraid of encountering ghosts in this cave, even if they don't have any magic weapons, talismans, or auxiliary tools.
After coming out of the initial slight panic after hearing this, Xiao Chengqian and I calmed down. We simply turned around and looked directly at what was behind us. Then we saw it immediately, where I had deliberately placed the flashlight. There was a 'person' lying there looking at me and Xiao Chengqian and smiling.
Xiao Chengqian and I are not afraid of any ghosts, but the moment we saw it, our faces still turned ugly, just because that 'person' looked very weird, but we couldn't tell what was weird, so we had to say If so, I always feel that the body proportions are out of proportion, and the head seems a bit bigger.
However, we can't see the details, because the person lying down has no limbs. The place where the limbs should have grown looks bloody to us, and even the blood is still flowing on the ground, just like the limbs. Just ripped off.
Despite this, it still squirmed towards us with a weird smile on its face... .
"Is this supposed to be a victim?" Xiao Chengqian's face turned ugly only because of its tragic situation, but he quickly recovered, crossed his arms and said to me in a calm tone.
"Without any clothes, I retained the most resentful moment before my death, but the soul of the victim still lingers in this cave. He is indeed a victim." I also took the same posture and responded to Xiao Chengqian lightly.
If ordinary people saw this scene, they would probably faint from fear, and ordinary Taoist priests would probably choose to run away. Those who take such "vivid and concrete" forms can only be resentful ghosts, which are difficult to deal with, but Xiao Chengqian and I don't care. A very calm discussion ensued.
For a thing like a ghost, the more calm and fearless you are when you meet it, the smaller the chance of being taken advantage of by it. If you are not its 'creditor', the possibility of being killed by it is very small.
Seeing that we were unmoved, a trace of malice flashed in the eyes of the resentful ghost, even though we had nothing to do with the person who killed it.
However, I can understand this kind of resentment. Since he is a resentful ghost, he will inevitably act in extreme ways and look at the world with a color of 'hate'. If you want to say that the resentful ghost wants something, I can definitely tell you. You are a 'life', because they don't have it, so they have their own hatred for beings that are alive, have a warm body temperature, and have fresh breathing.
Is this what human beings carve into their souls? If not, it will always be in turmoil? The same goes for turning into a ghost!
It's okay to say that the resentful ghost has some sense and can still accept the 'restraint' of heaven, but the resentment is a bit stronger. If this thing is a fierce ghost, an existence like Li Fengxian, Xiao Chengqian and I are afraid that we will take action.
Compared to me, Xiao Chengqian was more impatient. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, his aura as a Taoist was naturally released. There is no true Taoist who does not practice Xuan Kung. Without cultivating the inner alchemy technique, which in my opinion is too 'tangible', after years of hard training, Xiao Chengqian and I may have reached a state that is insignificant in the eyes of our predecessors, but if our aura cannot suppress ghosts, That’s considered practicing in vain.
Therefore, at this time, Xiao Chengqian released his aura without reservation and performed a hand gesture casually. Some fear flashed in the eyes of the resentful ghost, and he actually had a hint of retreat.
"Our thoughts were not on you in the first place, so that's fine if we didn't find you. But you came out to scare people and vent your grievances. That's fine if we didn't find you. If we found you, don't even think about running away." Xiao Chengqian said seriously You see, he looks like a righteous Taoist who upholds justice for heaven and kills all evil things in the world.
Only I know that this kid has been too 'brainwashed' by the organization in his bones, and good and evil have no binding force in his heart. His way has been the extreme "my" way for many years, with only the goal of the end. The kind of fork in the road where there is no divergence.
I don't think this guy suddenly became righteous. He had a purpose.
So, I watched silently. In fact, at this moment, I have noticed that in addition to the one in front of us, there are at least 4 such existences in this cave.
As soon as Xiao Chengqian appeared like this, the other four resentful ghosts also appeared, all with the same "horrible" appearance. They all appeared in front of us, but faced with the absolute "pressure", their eyes did not dare to show it. Instead of being spiteful, he looked miserable.
I touched my chin and wondered, how painful is it for a person to have no limbs? Judging from their appearance, they should have been roughly 'removed' their limbs and then left to die here. This kind of death is so painful. Why are they just resentful ghosts and not transformed into evil ghosts? What kind of force is suppressing them
I was still thinking about this problem, but Xiao Chengqian had already spoken: "But you want to seek salvation? Is it uncomfortable to be riddled with resentment?"
The five resentful ghosts over there nodded in unison, and I once again discovered a question. Since there seemed to be 7 or 8 corpses here, why were there only five resentful ghosts
At this moment, even though I am a fool, I can understand Xiao Chengqian's purpose, so I said: "It's okay to allow you a salvation, but you must at least tell us what happened, right?"
Xiao Chengqian glanced at me approvingly. The things in this cave are too strange. In addition, it is very likely that this is where we are looking. We have not found any valuable clues for a while, but it is a big surprise to find the clues on them. Not a bad thing.
Besides, it is my original intention to save these poor resentful ghosts.
Facing the conditions I proposed, the miserable expressions on the faces of the five resentful ghosts became more serious, and in the next moment, the cave began to become blurry, and then became brighter in the eyes of Xiao Chengqian and I...
Xiao Chengqian and I didn't resist. We remained in a sleepy state affected by this, accepting everything in our eyes and in our minds.
This is a rather miraculous thing, because I have never met a ghost with such a language barrier, and Xiao Chengqian is probably the same, so he chose this more 'dangerous' method.
From the beginning of Xiao Chengqian's conversation with the ghost, we discovered this problem. The language that the ghost conveyed to our minds turned out to be a piece of "Jili Guala", and we couldn't understand the specific meaning at all. Fortunately, the communication between people and ghosts, and even more It is close to consciousness communication and feeling communication, so we can clearly feel its emotions and some simple meanings it wants to express, just like it can understand what we mean, but it cannot communicate with us in our language.
Now that we have put forward the conditions, if we want to know what happened in the cave, they can only adopt this method, which is like a way of 'dreaming', directly showing what happened in their 'recollections' before our eyes. , but compared to entrusting a dream, this method obviously consumes more soul power.
As for Xiao Chengqian and I, we must let go of our soul defenses before accepting this kind of communication.
Therefore, this is a dangerous method, which will greatly 'contain' both parties, but fortunately Xiao Chengqian and I are sure of everything.
In this way, we fell into a special 'dream', maintaining only a trace of clarity in our hearts. Like two spectators, we began to live in the bright cave in the dream.
After fully adapting, we, Xiao Chengqian, were finally able to clearly see everything in the cave. But with just one glance, Xiao Chengqian and I were shocked because we didn't expect that we could see such a 'shock' at just the first glance. scene.
Because at this moment, there were blazing bonfires lit in the four corners of the cave, which illuminated the entire cave. And in the middle area surrounded by the bonfires, a group of people were kneeling.
What a weird bunch of people!
They were wearing scary-looking bronze masks, shouting strange languages, and were currently worshiping toward the water pool in the cave!
What is this doing? What is the identity of this group of people? At that moment, the clarity in my heart was almost unstable, and I found that I was 'lucky' to fall into a new puzzle!
