Chapter 347: Two Possibilities

Can't get by?

Now that his eyes can't see the surrounding situation, Mingchuan doesn't know what the situation is nearby, so he can only rely on his hands to slowly grope around. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

I took out a lighter from my pocket, and although I wrapped it in a plastic bag before going down to the river, it was still soaked in water, and I couldn't light it after hitting it several times.

He cursed in his heart and threw the lighter aside.

Darkness and silence surrounded him, and all he could hear was the sound of the water, but even the sound of the water seemed to be gradually moving away from him.

Ming Chuan stood in front of the stone wall and felt the chill around him coming towards him from all directions.

He couldn't tell whether the cold air was the cool breeze around him or the breath of the ghosts.

The aura of the pursuing ghost has vanished without a trace.

The river was up to his knees, but when the water came just now, it was clear that it had just submerged the instep of his foot.

He felt like he was in cold storage, his clothes wet and sticking to his body, as if they had frozen into ice. The teeth are chattering, and the upper and lower teeth collide with each other, making a "da-da" sound.

I tried to move my legs, but I found that my legs were numb and fixed, and I couldn't move at all.

Mingchuan squatted down and touched it lightly with his hand, only to find that the river under his feet had frozen.

The river had spilled over his knees, starting at the shin bones of his calves, and the current below had completely solidified, freezing his feet in the river.

The river was slowly rising, and in a short time, it had already submerged the roots of his thighs.

And as the river rose, so did the degree of ice, not as fast as the river's rise, but it gradually overflowed his calves.

Ming Chuan estimated in his heart that in less than five minutes, the river would flood him, and in about fifteen minutes, he would turn into a humanoid popsicle.

I had been in front of this rock wall for two or three minutes, and I still didn't hear Gao Shanjing's movement behind me. In this way, it may be too late to wait for Gao Shanjing to come and help.

He had to figure out his own way out of this predicament.

He quickly calmed down and thought about the current situation.

Whether it's the rise of the river or the speed at which it freezes, it's clearly not natural.

So now there are two possibilities.

The first is that when you are chasing the ghost, you are introduced by the other party into a certain trap, which is likely to be some kind of magic circle, and once you enter, you will be blocked, and then, you will activate all kinds of mechanisms to freeze the people trapped inside.

If this is the case, then what is happening here is man-made, and you only need to find the eye of the circle and destroy it, or destroy the mechanism to get out of the situation. And the key difficulty lies in how to find the array eyes and mechanisms in this darkness.

The second possibility is that the situation here is not man-made, but an illusion created by the "thing" that originally existed underground.

Judging from Liang Feng's account and the situation that the two of them experienced when they were in the river, this "thing" that exists underground can affect people's minds and directly control people's spirits.

Since it is a mind control ability, it is possible that there is a lack of direct means of attack, and correspondingly, the possibility of attacking the enemy with a psychic attack such as hallucination is very high.

But if this is the case, it will be a bit troublesome.

There are only two ways to completely solve the interference of the illusion, one is that someone can help him kill the caster of the illusion, and the other is that he can get rid of it on his own with great willpower.

The former has to rely on high mountain net, and the latter ......

Getting out of the illusion with great willpower is easy to say, but very difficult to do, and it is not something that you can do if you have strong willpower.

Because you have to convince your brain that everything you see and feel around you is a hoax, and make your own brain ignore the stimuli that have already been generated.

Such behavior is contrary to its own physiological response, contrary to normal physiological functions, and the brain will not easily accept such instructions.

The human body is a delicate instrument, and each neuron has its own independent function. How they react to stimuli is predetermined, and there is a very rigorous, complete and detailed program. The program's reaction mechanism is more efficient than that of the world's fastest computers. Often, before the stimulus is in your consciousness, your body has already acted accordingly.

It's not easy to get the brain to think that the cold around you is fake, the river under your feet is fake, and the ice in the river is fake, and get the brain to react to these sensory stimuli in a way that is contrary to the original setting. The average person simply can't do it.

As he thought, the river had overflowed his waist.

He calmed down and closed his eyes. Anyway, if you can't see in the first place, opening your eyes will only make people feel anxious, and there is no benefit.

His senses were amplified without limits, and he could clearly feel that the ice in his lower body was spreading upwards little by little.

The surrounding air was filled with the smell of dampness.

There was a faint stench in the distance, as if it had come from the corpses of the previous ghouls.

The sound of gurgling water can be heard directly in front of you.

A slight cool breeze crept through the cracks in the stone wall, making him feel even colder.

Shift your attention from the outside to your inside.

The cold slowed down his blood flow rate, and all his functions became sluggish, but the flow of ghost qi remained as usual.

Ming Chuan could feel the ghost qi in his body, and he could feel that they were recovering quickly.

Compared to before, he has a much stronger ability to control the ghost qi in his body, and at the same time, he probably knows the amount of ghost qi needed to activate the rune paper, the rune array, and summon the net bell and the ghost sword.

The accumulation of ghost qi is almost over.

He opened his eyes, and there was a turquoise bell in his hand.

The function of the net bell is purification. As a weapon, its attack power is not strong, and it cannot be compared to the ghost sword at all.

But its role cannot be replaced by the ghost sword.

Purification, not only can purify ghosts, but also dispel the filth on the ghosts, so that they can go to the ghost world smoothly. The functions of purification are not limited to this.

Takayama Kaguya once told him that compared to the conditional ghost sword, the net bell is the weapon he should control the most.

For this opinion, Ming Chuan agrees very much.

There are many purification functions.

As long as it is evil, it can be purified, the difference is in the degree.

The sound of the bell has an effect on all filth and evil.

Ming Chuan shook his arm slightly.

A crisp chime rang around.

Ming Chuan clearly felt the vibration of the river below him.

There was a reaction, and sure enough, these rivers were not the real currents guided by the mechanism. It's an illusion created by some kind of force. (To be continued.) )
