Everything looks peaceful, and everything doesn't look so peaceful.
Du Yan raised his head and glanced at the incandescent lamp above his head. The dusty bulb swayed a few times, and then went out after a few flashes as if he was frightened. When the light source in the stairwell lights up again, it has become a white light source commonly used in modern communities.
He raised his foot slightly again, and then stepped on the floor, and the mottled concrete floor and walls gradually returned to normal.
Du Yan raised his hand and touched his left shoulder. In fact, the mark left by Xiao Lang was not so much a kind of surveillance, but rather a part of his abilities shared for Du Yan to use.
With the help of Xiao Lang's ability to communicate yin and yang, Du Yan was able to solve the predicament in this stairwell so easily.
Du Yan smiled lightly, thinking about the indiscriminate person who only knows how to be jealous and messing around, which is quite useful at some point.
Now that the predicament in the stairwell has been resolved, Du Yan stopped delaying and went down to the first floor again. He went to open the fire door again, the situation changed, the concrete wall in front of the fire door had disappeared, and what appeared in front of him was the elevator room on the first floor.
When Du Yan was about to step out of the elevator, something fluffy suddenly touched his calf. He looked down and saw that the phantom of a dog was gradually taking shape, it was a big golden retriever.
Seeing Du Yan's eyes looking over, the golden retriever who learned that he was found sat down with joy and looked at Du Yan with wet eyes.
Du Yan saw the desire in Golden Retriever's eyes, so he squatted down, touched the dog's head, and said, "Why don't you follow your master and come to me?"
The golden retriever tilted its head, and arched Du Yan's palm with its nose.
Du Yan could see that the golden retriever in front of him should be quite old. The tips of its hair were beginning to turn white, and its eyes were not as smart as those of young dogs. However, judging from the condition of the teeth, the owner raised it with great care, but the dog's life is only ten years old, and no matter how careful it is, it will usher in the day of farewell.
This golden retriever was supposed to die, but it stayed because he couldn't let go of his master.
Golden Retriever cupped Du Yan's palm with his head again, and let out a soft cry.
Combined with the current situation of the community, even if it is impossible to communicate in words, Du Yan can understand its meaning and say, "Is there something bad that you want to attach to your master?"
That day, I saw the owner of Golden Retriever in the elevator, but he was not possessed by the ghost, but his body was very yin. Now that the community is influenced by Tian Luo and overlaps with the Shunping Ghost Town, the Specter Ghosts in the Shunping Ghost Town will naturally linger in the community, looking for the best person to possess.
Some young and middle-aged people with strong yang energy are not so easy to possess, but the owner of the golden retriever is a middle-aged woman in her forties, which is a kind of person who is relatively easy to be possessed. But she was safe for the time being, and eighty-nine out of ten was the credit of the golden retriever in front of her.
The golden retriever stood up and turned in a circle, its tail drooping and wiggling gently.
Du Yan knew that his conjecture was correct, and he asked again, "Are you worried that the ghost will completely infect your master, so you stayed?"
It called out softly again, with a look of anticipation and anxiety in its eyes.
Du Yan patted its head and said, "Don't worry, things will be resolved, and your master will recover after that."
He paused, then smiled and said, "But during this time, you'd better stay by your master's side, lest she be hurt too much."
The dog licked Du Yan's palm, as if a little reassured, and then happily ran towards the outside.
Du Yan followed him and walked out. Just as Du Yan was about to walk out of the gate, the golden retriever roared fiercely in the direction outside. Afterwards, it pushed Du Yan with its head again, signaling him to go in the direction of the elevator.
Du Yan didn't notice anything strange outside, so he asked, "Did you tell me not to go out? It's dangerous outside?"
Jin Mao whimpered softly, walked a few steps towards the elevator, stopped and looked back at Du Yan.
Du Yan was a little helpless: "Well, animals' intuitions are always more sensitive than humans. You probably think there is some danger outside?"
After he finished speaking, he followed Golden Retriever back to the elevator. Golden Retriever came to the fire door where they met, and raised his front paws to plan the heavy fire door.
"You told me to go back?" Du Yan asked with some doubts.
The golden retriever sat down, tilted his head, stuck his tongue out like a smile.
"Well, the trouble inside has been resolved, maybe there will be a turnaround."
There is no end to the stairs going down just now, but now that the ghost has been eliminated, the predicament has been broken, and perhaps something different can be found. A hazy white light shrouded the surroundings of the golden retriever in front of him, which proved that the soul was pure and flawless, and Du Yan would not doubt whether the golden retriever's actions were intended to harm him.
Du Yan opened the fire door, said goodbye to the golden retriever at the door, and then walked down the dim stairs again. Sure enough, when going down to a certain floor, the stairs came to an end.
Du Yan pushed open the fire door at the end, and was slightly taken aback when he saw the scene in front of him.
What appeared in front of him was a scene that should not belong to the yang world, and the entire area was covered in thick black. This is completely different from the darkness caused by no light source, but because the Yin Qi is too thick, forming something that is essentially similar to black fog.
In this darkness, there is a tall pillar in the center. The pillar is carved out of thousand-year-old peach wood. Even in this extremely dark place, there is still strong yang energy remaining on the pillars.
Du Yan could see at a glance that all these settings were for the purpose of torturing the person tied to the pillar, or rather the soul.
The man stepped on his feet in the darkness, and the endless yin qi had been supplying him with energy, but his body clinging to the peach wood pillar was corroded by the strong yang qi.
Although ghosts have no entity, their Yin and Yang are incompatible. When they are infused with strong Yang Qi, they will feel intense pain like being burned by fire. That person's body was burned and corroded by Yang Qi, and his body disappeared little by little.
But when only half of his body disappeared, the yin qi under his feet would sweep up again to repair his body. I don't know how many years have passed, this person has been tortured again and again.
The cruel scene in front of him made Du Yan frown tightly, not only because the person in front of him suffered such cruel torture, but also because of the clothes on that person.
The clothes on his body are the standard robes of the Du Yan sect. Like them, the sects of the Tianshi sect that have been passed down for a long time will not change the style of the robes in the sect. Judging from the cloud pattern and yin and yang gossip engraved on his sleeve, Du Yan can deduce that this is probably a senior from hundreds of years ago.
Du Yan stepped forward, and the man tied to the post finally opened his eyes.
When he saw Du Yan standing in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "Young man, are you the yellow dog who came to rescue me? I clearly told him not to bother, it shouldn't stay here for a long time, you still It's best to leave quickly."
When he spoke, his expression was very blank, a kind of indifference that had lost interest in everything after being imprisoned for a long time. After speaking, he closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to talk to Du Yan again.
Du Yan finally knew why the golden retriever signaled him to come here. Between the same sect, the Taoism practiced comes from the same source, and between Du Yan and the senior in front of him, there will be some kind of the same breath in the soul.
Animals are inherently more sensitive than humans. After the golden retriever became a ghost, it was naturally very sensitive to the connection between souls. It signaled Du Yan to be in this unknown prison, imprisoning him and his family. homologous people.
However, Du Yan saluted him in the manner of salute in the sect: "Senior, this junior is the 360th generation disciple of Hezao Mountain."
Hearing Du Yan's words, the expression on the man's face finally changed. He opened his eyes and looked at Du Yan up and down: "The three hundred and sixty generation disciples? Since they are my disciples, why don't they wear the Taoist robes outside? walk."
Knowing that this senior has been locked up here for too long, Du Yan explained patiently: "Senior, the external situation is different now, and the disciples in the sect wear regular clothes when they walk outside, which is more convenient for them to do things."
"Really?" The senior was slightly startled, "Yes, I have been locked up here for an unknown number of years. Young man, what year is it outside now?"
Du Yan told him using the chronology method in the sect, and saw a dazed look on the face of the senior in front of him, and murmured: "It turns out that eight hundred years have passed."
When he heard him say eight hundred years, Du Yan frowned and suddenly remembered something. When I was on the phone with Master before, the senior that Master said about refining the ghost king who was backlashed seemed to be 800 years ago.
In this way, there must have been some kind of connection between the Shunping Ghost King and the senior in front of him.
Du Yan thought that there was no time to delay here, so he asked directly: "Senior, this junior once read in the classics in the door, there is a senior named Tongxuan, who was attacked for refining the ghost king, and finally whereabouts. unknown."
"Yes, I am Tongxuan." Tongxuan nodded, "The ghost king of Shunping today is the ghost who failed in refining and attacked me."
Afterwards, under Du Yan's inquiry, Tong Xuan told all the past events, about the truth about Shunping Ghost City, about Wanshi Mountain, and about Shunping Ghost King.
The Shunping Ghost City is actually a place for the superiors to refine Gu. In the past, the superiors put the death row prisoners into the city, and let these death row prisoners kill each other to determine the winner. In the end, only one person could get out of the city. The person who can walk out in such a cruel environment is the sharpest knife in the hands of those in power.
The current ghost king of Shunping was naturally the victor at that time. His name was Sun Jin, and he was once a robber from Jiangyang with countless lives in his hands. He was so powerful that after becoming the victor, he killed everyone who tried to control him, and then fled Junpei incognito.
