Wu Ling glanced at the thin man and said, "The cursed mirror you believed in before..."
The thin man's expression stiffened.
"Not many people know, and those who know know many versions. Those who know believe that the mirror is cursed, and even fewer believe that the ghost of the deceased stays in the mirror. Therefore, if it is not affected by your ability, that mirror The mirror will not have special power, nor will it form a spirit. In another situation, if it is a ghost story that is well-known to the world, some people believe it, and some people do not believe it, then it is possible that a spirit will be produced, but the spirit produced will not be the same because so many people Different emotions will become very unstable, and sometimes it is impossible to capture his existence. He may appear, kill someone who believes in him, and then disappear completely. Wait until the second time, someone does something, so that He appeared again." Wu Ling said, "Moreover, unstable spirits cannot be eliminated. They don't even have a fixed form of existence, and there is no possibility of being eliminated."
I suddenly thought of something and glanced at Nangong Yao, "If that game... There are still many people who like games, mobile games, mobile games, various types of games... Is it possible that such a spirit will appear again?"
Nangong Yao nodded, "Yes, it is possible that there is a spirit related to the game in this world now, but it is not the one you destroyed. The one you destroyed is attached to a game disc, a game that became popular in the past. And it absorbs similar ideas to form a spirit. As each game becomes outdated, it forms a certain character... Another spirit related to the game may not be like this."
Guo Yujie asked somewhat innocently: "So, all the spirits and ghosts in this world cannot be eradicated?"
"Yes." Gu Mo replied lazily, "People have to die, and there are always such things."
This is a frustrating reality.
Gu Mo uses human death as a category, which I think is more like a crime. There are laws and police, but people still commit crimes. Thousands of years ago, some people would kill a stranger for a bite of meat, and now some people will kill a stranger for a hundred or two hundred dollars.
This is inevitable, a disaster that cannot be eradicated.
The atmosphere was low for a while.
Mainly because the four of us were a little down, Chen Xiaoqiu looked fine, and the three people from Qingye showed no reaction at all.
"The formation and state of spirits are different, which leads to an idea." Wu Ling naturally brought the topic back on track, "The guide you saw should be working on that idea. He wants to make himself a The new spirit of Huixiang.”
I sat up straight suddenly, my surprise indescribable.
"What he did was to change the mindset of the people in Huixiang. He restrained and ordered the ghosts in Huixiang, and then affected the people in Huixiang. However, this influence was very slow. Over decades and hundreds of years, It requires many generations of subtle changes and the cooperation of the social environment. In addition, it is the original spirit of Huixiang and will not sit idly by. The city god of the Zhou family may not be as free as the guide, but he can exercise his original power. The duty is to respond to people’s wishes and prayers and let the troublesome ghosts disappear.”
When Wu Ling said this, I thought of the story that the taxi driver told about his childhood. Although I don’t know whether it is true or not, his mother suspected that he had burned incense when he saw something unclean. He himself also said it casually. The local City God Temple was mentioned. This is what Wu Ling said, an idea that can form a spirit.
"Due to history, coincidence, etc., some concepts are common to all places. This idea will be particularly strong. Minqing also has a City God's Temple, but the City God's Temple in Minqing does not have the bonus of the historical sages in Huixiang. It is just a simple City God. Concept. So the City God's Temple in Minqing doesn't have much supernatural power." Wu Ling said, "The City God's Temple in Huixiang has the bonus of the Zhou family's sages in history, so it is also subject to this kind of power. When the Zhou family is no longer so glorious and great, The local city god also lost his power. As you can see, the hill where the Zhou family's ancestral grave is located collapsed. The Zhou family is finished, and so is the city god."
Wu Ling's explanation reminded me of everything that happened in Huixiang.
Mr. Zhou, a descendant of the Zhou family, had an improper private life. His illegitimate son killed him, and the guide took control of the Zhou family's ancestral tomb.
This is a kind of blasphemy.
Regardless of whether it is an ancient concept or a modern concept, this is a disgraceful thing and violates morality and law.
"People in Huixiang don't know this." Chen Xiaoqiu said.
Wu Ling nodded, "But it doesn't matter. The Zhou family has become the concept of City God in Huixiang. Many locals may not know the Zhou family, only the City God. The connection between the two is very close, but it is one-way. The people of Huixiang believe in the City God, not the Zhou family; the Zhou family has received some feedback that the dead Zhou family blood can stay in the ancestral graves, and at the same time provide more power to the City God. Because of your appearance, the situation in Huixiang has changed dramatically. Soon. If you hadn't killed the guide..."
Wu Ling looked at me and said, "People in Huixiang will gradually find that worshiping the City God Temple will no longer be useful. The guide will probably deliberately create a few haunted incidents in the future to completely change the minds of the locals. I don't know what he will do specifically. To do... it may be to make himself into another city god, or it may be to make himself into a god of death or a ghost. He probably will not combine himself with some existing consensus, and will give another name, as he told Yours, the 'guide'. In this way, you can also avoid being influenced by the ideas generated by those consensuses, and make rules completely according to your own ideas to guide people's ideas. He will make ordinary ghosts have more powerful power. He also Ordinary ghosts will become more difficult to destroy. If there is no carrier, then, except for the ability you possess, no one else can directly destroy him. They can only slowly weaken his power by changing the minds of local people. .”
"To do this, it will take a lot of effort and risk to go to his territory." Nangong Yao added.
After listening to this, I only felt a heavy heart, and I didn’t feel happy that I had eliminated the guide in advance.
Chen Xiaoqiu said: "What do you mean, Zheng's mother's personal condition is similar to that of the guide?"
Wu Ling replied: "Her situation should be said to be similar to that of the ghost in Huixiang. The ghost who wanted to turn herself into a spirit was not her. There are still some things we haven't figured out yet. But , except that Yu Chuanfeng has special abilities, this is the most likely situation and the most consistent with the current situation. The only problem is... "
Wu Ling frowned slightly, "We have never figured out how he did it. Nangong and I are not from Minqing, but Ye Qing, Liu Miao, and Wu Gu are, so you should be too, right?"
Guo Yujie nodded and answered Wu Ling's question.
"Have you ever thought of a consensus among Minqing people that fits this situation in Minqing City?" Wu Ling asked.
"What's the consensus? Ghosts cooking? Corpses stewed in soup?" the thin man asked doubtfully.
Wu Ling tapped his fingers on the table, "Here's the problem. None of you have this consensus, which does not meet the conditions for the birth of a spirit. If a spirit is not formed, he will purely rely on his own power to influence so many people and use hallucinations to be discovered. If there is no abnormality in the dishes, and the consciousness of manipulating people, so that people can't feel anything abnormal in their own bodies, then he should be a particularly powerful ghost. You can call it the strongest ghost in history. This makes no sense. .Xuan Qingzhen has read through almost all history books, and there is no famous person in history who died with such obsession. Nangong has also checked Minqing's death and population records, and has not found any suspicious targets. So far, he The only thing I did was... I didn't create a spirit, I didn't even try to create a spirit... "
"So, he is a big pervert who likes to put poison in people's food?" The thin man sighed with unclear meaning.
