I have a limited imagination. Although I am curious about what kind of monster is in the water pool, I have never tried to guess what it is. Such a small water pool is only a few meters long and wide. I will not associate it with this place at all. There will also be those huge monsters that will appear, and it will be difficult to turn around, right
I believed what Xiao Chengqian said, but it was hard to accept it for a while. I could only think with a smile, no wonder it is a pond, the specialty around here is water monsters!
However, none of this can scare me. In my opinion, at least the cave is quiet now, and the water pool is even calmer. It is hard to say whether the water monster will ever rest. It only appears in the x pool at least once every few years. I don’t believe that Xiao Chengqian and I were so lucky that we encountered the water monster twice in a row.
Well, if we want to talk about danger here, there are three or two resentful ghosts... .
So, thinking of this, I told Xiao Chengqian my thoughts. Xiao Chengqian swallowed his saliva, looked at me and said, "Are you sure it won't appear?"
"Not sure, but in terms of mathematical probability, the possibility of it happening is very small. Even though we are Taoist priests, we still have to believe in the truth that has been proven by science, right?" I said to Xiao Chengqian extremely seriously, I didn't What I told him was that the worst thing I learned when I was a child was mathematics, so much so that I once suspected that I learned mathematics in physical education class. I was also grateful that I was not chosen by Master Li and included in the fortune telling. Second pulse, otherwise he would be so angry with me that he would vomit blood. After all, these two pulses require some mathematical foundation.
"But what else is there in this hole? There is nothing! Let's do a small ritual to dispel their grievances, make a guide to lead them, and then leave." Xiao Chengqian said nonchalantly. , jumped two steps while speaking, deliberately staying away from the cave.
"What else is in this cave? Didn't you tell me? There is it!" After saying this, I pulled Xiao Chengqian and shot the light of the flashlight towards the stone pillar in the cave, and the light just fell on it. On the purple plant!
"Holy shit, is it here?" Xiao Chengqian was shocked for a moment, and then said to me incoherently: "I thought it was in the water, otherwise it would have grown on the rock wall. I was in a deserted village before. I went Deserted Village, you know, right? My two uncles went down to pick this purple plant, and I thought it was aquatic."
"It's right here. It seems we've found the right place." I said calmly to Xiao Chengqian.
"Chengyi." Xiao Chengqian took a deep breath, and then called me seriously.
"Huh?" I was curious why this guy suddenly became serious again.
"I know your attitude is to destroy it, but I have to remind you that our lineage has always had a saying, including the top leaders in the circle, that this plant contains the secret of immortality. ." Xiao Chengqian told me in a low voice.
What is the ultimate pursuit of Taoism? Metaphysical immortality! Cultivation against nature is also to escape from the sea of suffering in reincarnation. The word immortality is very attractive not only to my Taoist family, but also to ordinary people!
But, immortality? A terrifying image emerged in my mind, a bloated body, a face mixed with rotten flesh falling off and new flesh growing continuously - the old village chief!
I remembered again that the human face under the cloak had completely turned into a zombie! No, if that is immortality, I would rather live happily for decades, close my eyes without regrets, and have my soul sublimated to a higher level. This is more meaningful than immortality!
Therefore, I said to Xiao Chengqian: "It must be destroyed. I will tell you the reason after I find out."
"Actually, you don't need to tell me the reason. There are things you don't know. Regarding this purple plant, it is not an absolute secret among people in the circle and among some of our departments in China. Especially those who have witnessed Yang Sheng's madness. From now on, I think I won’t particularly object if you destroy it, so just destroy it.” Xiao Chengqian said to me in a somewhat erratic tone.
"Do you know something?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.
"We'll talk about it when we go out, and I seem to have remembered something about those gray-eyed people." Xiao Chengqian said to me seriously.
--------Dividing line-------
We decided to destroy the purple plant, but Xiao Chengqian was determined not to get close to the pool. He told me categorically that I didn't know what the strange-looking monster looked like, otherwise I wouldn't have approached the pool.
However, before that, there is one more thing I have to do. The pen left here reminds me of this thing.
If a pen is left here, it means that someone has been here, maybe Master and the others. Since the resentful ghosts have been wandering here for many years, they must know something, so it should be possible to ask them.
I told Xiao Chengqian my thoughts, and Xiao Chengqian was also excited. Then we went to communicate with those resentful ghosts and expressed our intentions. After those resentful ghosts understood, we saw a scene that made us feel the same. to feel some of the things they saw later.
It was also an ordinary moonless night. Compared with tonight, the cave was even darker. There were 7 resentful ghosts wandering in the cave (yes, 7). They were no different from the past.
It's no different, right? From the perspective of the resentful ghosts in this cave, what exists is endless resentment and the loneliness of being trapped all day long. They can't see the hope of reincarnation, and they can't get the relief of salvation, day after day.
However, stubborn beliefs often make mistakes. That night, more than a dozen people came to the cave.
The resentful ghosts can't forget how they appeared, because before them, after the resentful ghosts were tortured, no strangers came to this cave, including their kindred - the gray-eyed people.
Like me and Xiao Chengqian, those people came out of one of the dozen caves in the rock wall over there. Like us, they were holding strange luminous things in their hands, and they suddenly appeared here. cave.
Since the subjective consciousness of the resentful ghost was narrated by himself, this is what Xiao Chengqian and I felt. However, the intuitive picture that came into our minds was not that calm.
We first heard the noisy people, and then saw my master getting into the cave first, followed by Uncle Hui, my uncles, Grandma Ling Qing, Xiao Chengqian’s grandfather Wu Liyu, and a few others I didn’t recognize. The old man, and finally two middle-aged men who looked very unfamiliar to the cultivators, but, for some reason, one of them looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen him.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Chengqian and I were indescribably excited. Since Master and the others disappeared for so many years, we never imagined that we could clearly see the footprints they had walked through this strange way of communication between humans and ghosts.
With so many people entering the cave, the popularity is naturally strong. Especially a few of them felt that their aura was unusual. The resentful ghosts naturally chose to avoid it and hid in every corner of the cave.
After my master and others entered the cave, they started to explore like us, but it seemed that my master was unlucky. They only found human bones and not the purple plants hidden on the top of the pillars. Then their expressions showed disappointment. a feeling of.
Is it disappointment? I couldn't feel any specific disappointment from the old man's eyes. I discovered a detail. He actually took a deep look at the pillar quietly, but then turned around as if nothing had happened.
During this time, Wu Liyu was standing next to my master. He wanted to say something, but strangely he stopped talking and turned around with my master, as if nothing happened.
"It seems that we are either looking in the wrong place, or the things that should be here have been taken away by others. Let's go. Only when there is harvest in every place can we achieve our goal." The master spoke loudly and took the lead. Head outside.
Then several of my uncles smiled, and the first one followed the master.
Watching this scene, I felt a little strange. I always felt that this old man was a little too hasty. He was completely different from his previous personality, which seemed carefree and careless, but was actually very careful and paid attention to every detail. It was supposed to be so important. There are still corpses here, shouldn't he be more thoughtful
Could it be that this old man's IQ has become low because he misses me so much
This should not be the case. I opened my eyes wide, fearing that I would miss a detail. Even if these resentful ghosts have good soul power, they will not have the power to communicate with us for the third time. Therefore, the details here are particularly important. .
Some people suggested leaving, others responded, and things seemed to be settled. Everyone, including Xiao Chengqian's family, followed my master's footsteps and walked out without hesitation.
But at this moment, one of the two strangers suddenly said: "There are bones here, which means there should be some secrets here. Even if it has nothing to do with the purpose of this trip, I want to draw a rough picture of this place and record it." Some details.”
After he said these words, my master turned around, and then I noticed that my master's eyes changed slightly, and then he looked at that person and his face became a little uglier!
At that time, my master and the others were already close to the entrance of the cave where they came from. The person who said he wanted to record stood still, with his back to the water pool more than ten meters away!
