Chapter 36: Trapped Ghost Array
There are no clouds, and the fiery sun in the sky seems to be able to scare all the little ghosts in the world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fifteen miles west of Haojia Valley, Master Zhengning, Shenxing Five Heroes and Hao Shuang came to a pine forest under the sun.
The thick pine needles on the ground are soft and soft when stepped on, and there is a smell of burnt pine leaves in the sun. Hao Shuang has no doubt at all that as long as he meets Mars, a fire can quickly ignite here.
However, Hao Shuang, who was already soaked in his body, had been feeling cold since Hao Shuang entered this pine forest, and the goosebumps on his body had never gone down.
I've heard that there is coolness in the bamboo forest, but are these tall and thick pine trees hollow?
When Hao Shuang was muttering in his heart, Hao Qianqian, the boss of the Five Heroes, suddenly had five more flying knives in his hand, and before Hao Shuang could react, the second Hao Jindong, the third Hao Xiaobei, the third Hao Yanan, and the fourth took out their weapons at the same time and rushed out in four directions.
With a "whoosh", five bronze flying knives came out of their hands. One of them passed in front of Hao Shuang's eyes and almost cut off his eyelashes.
His eyes blinked, and Hao Shuang suddenly felt that he was no longer cold. Not only is it not cold, but it is also warm.
A minute later, four people returned from four directions at the same time.
Master Zhengning turned his head to look around, nodded, and said, "Good job, apprentices." ”
The five of them clenched their fists and bowed their heads and said, "Master." ”
Master Zhengning's silver-white ghost beard suddenly curled, and he said in a low voice: "Your goal of disappointing me has been achieved again. ”
Stretched out the peach cane in his hand and pointed at Hao Qianqian: "Don't show it before sending the dart, do you want the target to be ready to catch your dart?" ”
With a wave of his crutch, he pointed at Hao Jindong: "Your speed is so slow, can't you hold your peachwood sword?" ”
Then pointed at Hao Xiaobei: "You are not flexible enough!" Pointing at Hao Yanan: "You are not sensitive enough!" ”
Finally, he pointed at Hao Dazhong: "I'm angry when I look at you!" ”
After finishing speaking, Master Zhengning was still panting, as if he was out of breath, and no one dared to make a sound when the five people bowed their heads, and the scene fell into an awkward silence.
At this point, I realized that I was getting hotter and hotter. Hao Shuang wiped his sweat and said, "Master Hideous......"
The crutches in the hand of Master Zhengning, who was angry, suddenly pointed at Hao Shuang, and at the same time, his eyes shone brightly, startling Hao Shuang.
Finding that it was Hao Shuang, Master Zhengning's eyes widened in embarrassment, he withdrew his crutches, and his tone suddenly became polite: "Eh, magical hero, what's the matter?" ”
His eyes moved, Hao Shuang: "I don't understand ......"
Suddenly, a gust of yin wind hit, as if there was still a rancid smell, which made Hao Shuang's pores that were originally opening and sweating shrink instantly, and the hairs immediately stood up again, and then goosebumps rose all over his body.
Hao Shuang suddenly understood that it was the five heroes who now bowed their heads and did not dare to say anything just now to drive away the cold and let the temperature return to normal.
"What don't you understand?" Master Zhengning asked.
Looking left and right, Hao Shuang pointed to Hao Dazhong, who was the farthest away from him, and said, "I don't understand, why are you angry when you look at him." ”
Master Zhengning rolled his eyelids and thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Because he faked the news that the five of them couldn't beat you together, so I didn't sleep well all night." Can you tell me your grade or level? ”
Hao Shuang swallowed a mouthful of spit and whispered, "I...... There are no levels, no levels, it should be zero or zero levels. ”
Staring at Hao Shuang, Master Zhengning said, "As long as it is a ghost hunter or an onmyoji, there is no level zero in this world. ”
Ignoring Hao Shuang's expression, Master Zhengning continued: "Now, it's time for you to show it. I want to know your ability, level, and level, so that I can teach you according to your aptitude, and we don't have much time. ”
As he spoke, he faced the Five Heroes and said, "The Amazing Hero is about to show his skills, everyone keep their eyes open and pay attention to learning!" ”
So, including Master Zhengning, everyone stared at Hao Shuang.
Hao Shuang knew what he was talking about, which was to drive away, kill or catch something that had become so abnormal in the space.
However, he didn't even know what the culprit was or where it was. However, if you think about it with your toes, you know that it is definitely not an ordinary imp who can cause this kind of result under the big sun.
Biting his lip, Hao Shuang wanted to strangle Master Zhengning to death.
Isn't that deliberately embarrassing me?
"To ...... Do you want me to make a fire and drive this cold breath away? Hao Shuang stretched out his hand: "Lend me a lighter first." ”
I thought that the other party was going to stop him, but I didn't expect Master Zhengning to hand over his gaze, and Hao Dazhong, who looked loyal and honest, stepped forward and handed the lighter to him.
Gritting his teeth and hardening his scalp, Hao Shuang squatted down and prepared to light the fire. Anyway, the six next to him are all masters, even if the pine forest is ordered, there is also Master Zhengning who carries the black cauldron, what are you afraid of?
Hao Shuang deliberately slowed down the ignition very slowly, like a cartoon that slowed down ten times, but no one stopped him. In the end, the fire of the lighter finally burned to the thick pine leaves.
Hao Shuang was ready to be the first to escape without waiting for the fire to get bigger, however, the dry pine leaves couldn't be lit at all, only the hot part of the fire turned a little black.
In the end, Hao Shuang had to stand up in defeat.
No one laughed at him, the Five Heroes of the Divine Walk were because they had failed at his hands, and laughing at him was tantamount to laughing at himself doubly.
Master Zhengning was because he had already tested Hao Shuang with a fourth-level ghost yesterday, and this morning, he was already prepared for Hao Shuang to know nothing.
Closing his eyes heavily to stabilize his emotions, Master Zhengning opened his eyes and said, "You are really level zero. I really don't want to accept this fact. I can't believe it, but I have to believe it: you can defeat the seventh-level ghost general in fourteen days. Fourteen days, if you want to deal with the ghost general, from now on, you will have to move up one level at least every forty hours. ”
Hao Shuang didn't understand the concept of being promoted to a level in less than two days, but he was so shocked that the five heroes of Shenxing almost lost their souls.
They have been fighting for upgrades since they were children, and now they are already very famous in the Yin and Yang Realm of the Ghost Hunting Realm, and they are only at the fifth level. And their master, Master Zhengning, has worked hard all his life, but he is only level seven.
As long as people with some common sense will know that people of the same level can't fight ghosts of the same level at all. The seventh-level Onmyoji Ghost Hunter and the seventh-level Ghost General are even farther apart, and ten seventh-level Onmyoji Ghost Hunters can't fight a single ghost general.
Master Zhengning suddenly swung his weapon, the peachwood cane, and attacked the trunk of a pine tree beside him with a "swish".
This crutch is different from other crutches in that both ends are inlaid with ancient copper coins. Because the time is too long, the copper coin has been worn off, and the texture cannot be seen. But the edges of the copper coins are sharpened more and more.
Hao Shuang has been wondering how his crutches are used all the way, and what kind of method can be used to make the crutches that should be flatter and flatter sharper and sharper?
Master Zhengning withdrew his crutches and saw a "cicada" tied to the copper coin on the top of the crutches. The cicada had not died immediately, and was still struggling on the copper coin.
"Wow, Master Hideous, you're amazing! Huh......" Looking at Master Zhengning's inquiring gaze, Hao Shuang finally found something unusual: "How can there be cicadas at this time?" Cicadas should only appear in the fall. ”
Nodding, Master Zhengning said, "Yes, you still have some common sense, but ......, Sissi, you tell him." ”
"Yes." Hao Qianqian walked over and said to Hao Shuang seriously: "This is a cicada possessed by a ghost, or rather, it is a ghost." ”
"A ghost will possess a cicada?" Hao Shuang asked suspiciously: "What should I do if I possess the cicada and am eaten by other small animals?" ”
"No animal can ever eat a cicada or any other ghost worm, unless it's a higher ghost." Hao Qianqian then explained: "Let me give you a rough description of the division of ghosts first,......
After Hao Qianqian's introduction, Hao Shuang realized that people had divided ghosts in detail in two ways.
One is that the ghost is divided into eleven grades according to his IQ:
First-class ghosts are ghosts that do not have any consciousness, they will only float in the air or water, or slowly absorb and gather other energy to become second-level conscious ghosts, or be eaten and absorbed by other high-level ghosts;
Ghosts of the second rank and above, in order to prevent being eaten by higher-level ghosts or for other reasons, can possess simpler insects;
Ghosts above the third grade can possess more advanced and complex insects;
Ghosts above the fourth rank can possess more advanced birds and fish, ghosts of the fifth rank can possess more advanced animals, and ghosts above the sixth rank have the IQ of human children and can possess children. Above the seventh grade can be possessed with adults.
The seven-rank ghost is a spirit ghost, which can be transformed into a humanoid figure visible to ordinary people, but can only appear briefly at night. The eight-rank spirit ghost can move in the human world all night long, and the figure of the sky can even communicate with humans like ordinary people; The nine-grade holy ghost can appear in the world like a human during the day; The ten-rank ghost king is equivalent to the wisdom of human doctors. The higher eleventh grade is called the Ghost Emperor.
The other is divided according to the degree of harm they have to humans, or the energy of their abilities, which is also divided into eleven levels:
The first, second and third level ghosts are all called low-level ghosts, and they will dodge themselves when they encounter humans, and ordinary low-level demon hunters can deal with them;
Fourth-level ghosts, known as civilian ghosts, generally do not take the initiative to attack people, and their harm is often that the people who encounter them scare themselves to death. You need a demon hunter of level 2 or higher to catch it;
Level 5 ghosts are soldier ghosts. It is very aggressive, not only can it suck human Yuanyang, but it can even remotely control the human ideology, and it can only be dealt with by a demon hunter or onmyoji at level three or above;
The sixth-level ghost is an officer ghost, not only ten times more powerful than a soldier ghost, but also often leads several soldier ghosts, which is very difficult to deal with. It takes two Onmyoji Ghost Hunters above Level 4 to deal with it.
The seventh-level ghost is the general's ghost, and the general's ghost is not only ten times more powerful than the officer's ghost, but also from the first-level low-level ghost to the sixth-level officer ghost, all of which are controlled by the general's ghost, and no one can tell how many imps there are under a general's ghost. General ghosts generally have a relatively high IQ, and they rarely take the initiative to attack humans, and once they appear, they often bring blood and rain to humans.
The eighth-level marshal ghost, the ninth-level ghost king, the tenth-level ghost emperor, and the eleventh-level ghost emperor only appear in legends, or when they appear, people can't tell at all.
After digesting Hao Qianqian's words, Master Zhengning glared at the big round eyes and said, "Because the level of the ghost hunter is more difficult to rise the further you go, so in order to save time, you will have to be promoted to the fourth level in the first two days." ”
Looking at the big trees nearby, Master Zhengning continued: "This piece of pine forest has been set up by Master Gu Xuan to trap ghosts, and the little ghosts below level four can only enter and not leave. Now, you have to sweep away the imps here, and within two days, you will be promoted to the fourth level of the ghost hunter! ”
Master Zhengning left ruthlessly with the Five Heroes of Shenxing, without teaching Hao Shuang any skills, nor did he tell him any methods.
After a gust of gloomy wind, countless insects appeared around Hao Shuang.
There are those who crawl on the ground, those who fly in the sky, those who can jump, those who have many legs, those who are poisonous, those who have long clips, those who have no legs, and those who are covered with long hair...... Wait, even people who are not afraid of insects will be stunned when they see so many at once, not to mention that Hao Shuang now knows that these are not normal insects.
Hao Shuang looked up to the sky and shouted: "Hey! If you want me to fight ghosts, at least give me a weapon, eh, a magic weapon, right? ”
The large swarms of bugs were followed by all kinds of poisonous snakes, frogs, toads, mice, rabbits, lizards, weasels, pheasants, ......
It didn't take long for Hao Shuang to get a response from Master Zhengning, but the content of his response was: "The ghost slashing knife in your hand can at least make the little ghosts within the fourth level afraid!" ”
Hao Shuang immediately shouted heartbreakingly: "That knife is really not here with me!" I was also deceived by Hao Yulong, ah......, help......"
Hearing Hao Shuang's heart-rending cry for help, the Five Heroes of Shenxing faced in the direction of Hao Shuang, their faces turned pale from worry. On behalf of everyone, the boss Hao Qianqian asked: "Master, he obviously doesn't know how to hunt ghosts, is it too much for us to do this?" ”
Master Zhengning took out a bronze oil lamp from somewhere, and while lighting the oil lamp with a lighter, he said, "How can it be so easy to get mysterious power?" He is a magical hero, a hero is able to endure the hardships that ordinary people can't endure, and can do things that ordinary people can't do, what is this little worm? Besides, if he can't beat him, can he run? Either way, as long as he can get out of that place alive, I'll count him through. ”
Hao Shuang looked nervously at the insects around him, for a while, there were more and more insects, and there were locusts and wasps flying in front of him, which was also mixed with many chaotic flying insects, seeing that the insects began to gather towards him, and even hundreds of ghost insects suddenly emerged from the ground at his feet, only to hear Master Zhengning reply: "We will go and help you find the ghost slashing knife back now." Hopefully, until we find that knife, you'll be able to protect yourself. ”
What does this mean? Hao Shuang shouted angrily: "Hey, hideous, I'm your uncle, I'm Hao Yuchen's grandfather, the patriarch's uncle, ah......, ah!" …… Ah......h
All kinds of ghost bugs have already begun to attack, and they are still swarming. Poor Hao Shuang, who didn't have any weapons, could only beat and kick his hands in a panic......
