Chapter 13: The Separation of Human Souls, the Legend of Ghosts

I had only walked far in the mountains and forests, and by the faint light of the flashlight, I saw a hemp rope between the two big trees in front of me, and three or four small bells hung on the ropes, and the copper bell body reflected the cold metal light.

What is it for, a trap or an alarm?

Curious, I approached and flicked the little bell in the middle of the rope, and the whole rope shook violently, and the bell on it swayed with it, but there was no sound at all.

Won't this bell ring?

Curiosity was even greater, and I crouched down, thinking about studying this thing carefully, but when I crouched, I felt my ears buzzing, and I felt dizzy for no reason.

I couldn't stand on my feet, so I lay on the ground with my head up, and I don't know if I had a stone or something in my back, and the stinging pain came, and I suddenly held on to the ground and turned over and stood up again.

Everything only happened in a short moment, after standing up straight, my head was not dizzy, but I always felt that my body was light and fluttering, and it seemed that I could fly to the sky with a kick.

"What's the matter, could it be that there is still poisonous gas in this deep mountain and old forest?"

I shook my head speechlessly, sobered myself up a bit, and lowered my head to pick up the small flashlight that had fallen on the ground. But when I lowered my head to look, I was directly stunned by the scene in front of me.

There was a man lying in the weeds, an off-white T-shirt, a blue schoolbag strap on both shoulders, and a small flashlight in his hand...... Isn't this man me?

Holy, I'm out of my body?

The word "out-of-body" flashed through my mind for no reason, and I didn't know if I should pounce on myself at this time. "The soul returns to the body".

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps ahead, and two guys wearing mixed scarves appeared in the dim woods, and one of them rushed to my side before me.

"Old monkey, you see that we have caught something, we can go back to the errand, right?"

The man who threw himself next to me shouted excitedly, and the guy next to me, known as "Old Monkey", kicked him aside.

"You pig's head, what are you shouting, will you see clearly before you speak. Uncle, this TM is a living person. You're a!"

"Living? How can a living person be stunned by our soul bell?"

"I don't know, you kid must have turned the frequency of the Dementor Bell too low. Alright, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and save people! Damn. Which school is this kid from? There is no common sense at all. Can the Soul Bell be touched casually?"

The old monkey muttered, bent down beside me, and tried my snort. The pig's head on the other side shouted with an unconvinced face: "Old monkey, this is not right! I adjusted it before I came, and the 18 Hz infrasound is dedicated to the ghost." Don't believe me, see for yourself!"

After saying this, the pig's head reached out and shook the bell on the rope next to him.

In an instant, the bell rang, and I saw something in the air that was like ripples of water spreading, hitting my body and forming a ripple and ricoching back. At the same time, I felt like I was standing on a meat dump and trembling.

The ejection back rippled and hit the bodies of the "pig's head" and the "old monkey", and the two jumped to their feet as if they had been stepped on by someone's tail.

The pig's face was full of excitement, and while constantly scanning the surroundings, he shouted, "Old monkey, that ghost is nearby!"

But the old monkey frowned, raised his foot and gave the pig's head a buttocks.

"Pig head, you TM shut up, see for yourself what the frequency is, people have killed you!"

After reprimanding the pig's head, the old monkey looked left and right, bowed his hand slightly to the place where I was standing, and whispered, "Uh, buddy, I know you're there." I'm sorry that my brother accidentally dialed the wrong frequency of the Dementor Bell and killed you. Well, I see that you still have breathing, you should have learned the technique of separating the human soul. Since you're here, please go back to your body, and please don't make fun of us brothers. ”

After the old monkey finished speaking, he bowed his hand, and then stared at me closely.

Through his words, I seem to understand what happened to me, but the problem is that this is too unbelievable. I touched the bell and killed myself, who would believe it!

Forget it, whatever, go back first.

I stepped forward, walked lightly to myself, and lay on my back with my head on top of me, learning from the scene I had seen in the TV series "The Legend of the New White Lady".

The next moment, I still felt something on my back, and I subconsciously stood up with one hand, and the only light source near me also flickered with my movements.

Yo roar, it's really back to the body.

Looking down at the ground, there was no more me lying there. Reaching out and touching the back, what I was struck twice was the small table lamp of the robot cat in the school bag. Then I turned my eyes to look around, and the old monkey and the pig's head stared at me with a constipated face.

Raising my hand to say hello to them and chatting casually, I realized that these two people were ghost hunters from Heavenly Master University.

As mentioned before, there are three universities in the whole ghost village, "Heavenly Dao", "Heavenly Master", and "Tianlu", and it is said that these three universities have a long history. Tiandao University evolved from former schools, schools, and private schools, while Tianshi University and Tianlu University evolved from Taoist temples and temples, and the students in them called themselves Taoists and disciples.

The original name of "Old Monkey" was Hou Zhanguo, and the original name of "Pig Head" was "Zhu Tian", and the two often worked together to catch ghosts. This time, they were sent to Xiyufeng to participate in the task of finding Han Zhen, as soon as they entered the jungle, they chose a location to set up a "heaven and earth net", originally thinking that the blind cat would kill the mouse and catch the ghost, but I didn't expect to catch me.

Just like what Senior Chen said before, every ghost hunter has his own special means and tools, and each school also has a unified magic weapon for students. The Soul Bell is the magic weapon of the Ghost Hunter Daoist of the Heavenly Master University, and as long as this thing is an experienced ghost hunter, it is generally recognized, and everyone will naturally bypass it when they see it.

I also owed, and when I was idle, I touched around with nothing, and I reached out and flicked the little bell, almost killing myself.

When things are said and done, there is nothing to talk about. Saying goodbye to the two of them, I bypassed the road and continued deeper into the jungle.

Along the way, I saw many strange things.

There are white canvases hanging from the treetops, red robes wrapped around tree trunks, and swastika characters carved on tree trunks.

All kinds of things revealed some kind of indescribable weird atmosphere, and I didn't dare to touch it blindly, so when I saw strange things, I bypassed, and blindly wandered around the woods for nearly three hours, and finally came to the meeting point set by Senior Chen before.

The fat man and Lao Chen have been waiting here for a long time. It didn't take long. Liang Tianyu, Jing Han and Li Su also arrived one after another, and all six of us found nothing.

Although I have been mentally prepared for this situation for a long time, I still can't help but want to complain, it is impossible to find Han Zhen before tomorrow morning if I continue to look for it like this.

"Senior Chen. Why do we have to find Han Zhen tonight? He can't survive in this jungle. Sooner or later, you'll have to come out on your own. Can't we wait for him to show up and then arrest him?"

"No, of course not!" Lao Chen hurriedly waved his hand and found a tree root to sit on. Slowly explained: "You are all newcomers, I'm afraid you don't know, people like Han Zhen who enter the ghost village after death are quite dangerous.

Let's take an analogy, you are Yan Shifei and now alive in the ghost village, and to the outside world, you are only missing and not dead, because your body has not been found at all. Why does this happen, because it is your heavenly soul that is immortal, as the saying goes, 'resign yourself to fate', the true meaning is that the number of lives of a person is determined by the heavenly soul.

This number of lives is not the same as the life dominated by the human soul.

When the soul is gone, life is gone, which refers to the life and death of an individual.

And the heavenly soul represents a kind of energy, when a person dies, the heavenly soul is immortal, and it will be transformed into the heavenly soul of other things. Tombstones, ashes, and even statues, how did these things come about? They only come after a person dies, and from a spiritual point of view, they are transformed by the person's heavenly soul, which is called fate.

When all the things related to you are gone, and no one remembers you anymore, that is when your Heavenly Soul is completely gone.

Li Bai is not dead, but his poems are still circulating, which means that Li Bai's heavenly soul is extremely powerful and immortal. Unless one day, no one knows anything about Li Bai, then Li Bai's real fate is over.

Well, it's too far to say this, let's still talk about Han Zhen.

Han Zhen's body had already been discovered outside, and his Heavenly Soul would naturally be transformed into something like a tombstone or a posthumous image. And at this time, he came to the ghost village in the form of a ghost, but in fact, there was only one earth soul.

Without a heavenly soul, no matter how special the environment of the ghost village is, it is impossible to create one for no reason, so he will always be a ghost.

Think about it, is it a problem for such a ghost to live around us? He has no body, and if he can't catch him at the first time after wandering out of here, he will actually pose a threat to the ordinary people in the ghost village.

Of course, you'll say that a ghost can pose any threat, and at most it's just a matter of finding someone to possess him, and then catch him.

Yes, one ghost can't make much of a difference, but what if it's a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand?

The ghost village is different from the outside world, there is a rich soil for ghosts to survive, and at the same time, there are people who will organize ghosts and do some heinous things.

You have just arrived here, and you have not had much contact, so I'm afraid you don't know, don't look at the calm and peaceful appearance of the ghost village, in fact, there are three groups similar to terrorist organizations here.

One of them is called the Ghost Snake, and its members are people like Han Zhen who came to the ghost village after death.

As far as I know, there are now more than 10,000 members of the Oni Dragon, and their greatest activity is to organize a collective resurrection of members at a certain time of year.

How to resurrect?

Abbreviated as borrowed life.

It is said that one of the leaders of the Oni is proficient in the art of borrowing life, and he can make the heavenly soul between the ghost of the borrowed life and the person who is borrowed to realize the instantaneous transformation, and at the same time use the special environment of the ghost village to complete the human soul, so as to resurrect the dead.

In the past few years since I came to the ghost village, I have experienced this kind of activity of the ghost snake. I remember that in those three days, the whole ghost village was like a dead city, and no one dared to go out. Because if you are walking on the street, one second you are fine, and the next second you may be abducted by a ghost for no apparent reason.

In addition, the resurrection activities of the ghosts are not limited to the ghost village, but whenever there is an opportunity, they will also send people to leave the village to find a living person to borrow their lives.

Over the years, there have been hundreds or thousands of people who have died at the hands of the Ghost Snake members.

By the way, in the few days you came to the ghost village, it seems that the ghost snake sent more than a dozen people outside to be resurrected, and I don't know what the final result will be.

Alas, saying all this, in fact, I just want to tell you that don't think that our ghost hunting this time is a trivial matter. While you and I are looking for Han Zhen, maybe the ghost people are also looking for him here. Tonight is the best time for the Ghost Snake members to act, and they won't miss any opportunity to recruit members. If there is one more member in the ghost, maybe the ghost village or the outside world will tear up an innocent person for no reason.

Of course, things are not so complicated and dangerous, and if they were very dangerous, this kind of thing would not be done by us students.

Even if Han Zhen can't be found in the end, at most, it will just make one more member of the ghost dragon, and it won't change anything. I didn't think about saving anyone, I just saw this mission as an opportunity to give myself more performance points. ”

Lao Chen said such a big thing, reached out and took out a bottle of water from his bag and poured it into his mouth.

It was also when he was drinking water, I turned my head to look at Jing Han, I could feel that Jing Han was also looking at me at this moment, I don't know what she was thinking, but she must know more about "borrowing life" than Lao Chen.

When Taoist Fulin came back to life, wasn't it the life she borrowed from Black Tan.

Also, the eldest sister with a Taoist talisman on the bus probably met the "ghost" member that Lao Chen said.

The news given by Lao Chen was something I didn't know before, and I wanted to hear more from him, but after he drank the water, he didn't talk about the "ghost", but re-formulated the next meeting place for us, and at the same time smeared Liang Tianyu and the fat man with soul water, and left alone.

The remaining five of us had nothing to say, and we chose the route to leave one after another.

The second time I split up, I gave the fat man the flashlight in my hand, partly because I felt that my eyesight was less affected in the dark, and partly because I remembered the small desk lamp in my school bag.

When I first found the "robot cat" small table lamp, I took it back to study, and charged it for a while, it should still be able to light up, and I can take it for emergencies when necessary.

Walking silently alone, the road is getting darker and darker, and I don't know how far I can go out, I guess it should be dark outside, and my whole person is in endless darkness.

Afraid that I would accidentally hit a tree, I took the small lamp out of my backpack and pressed it on.

And at the moment when this light appeared, a sudden gust of wind blew behind me, and the leaves rattled, and then a large number of unknown things flew over and buried me head-on. (To be continued......)
