Chapter 608: Soul Well
I saw that Xiao Hei no longer spoke, so I had to give up helplessly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info However, it can be seen that Xiao Hei still knows something inside, but this little guy is very tight-mouthed and refuses to say anything more.
However, Xiao Hei told me how to get to Xudu, and he said that as long as he found the three ancient wells in the city, it was possible to reach the ghost city of Xudu, the main city of the netherworld, through one of them. Xiao Hei said that there will be three wells in every city, which are the Well of the Revenant, the Well of the Soul and the Well of the Rejuvenating Soul.
Among them, the Well of the Revenant is the gateway to the Deaf Realm, that is, if one in 10,000 of the normal ghosts appears, they will be escorted to the Deaf Realm by the ghost messenger through the Well of the Revenant. The other is the Soul Well, through which you can see all kinds of past lives, which is a passage to connect the past. There is also a Soul Returning Well, through which you can return to the Yang Realm.
And they also have one thing in common, that is, they lead to the main city. Because it is only during a certain hour that they open the way in the direction they should be, usually only to the capital. This so-called specific hour is only known to the city lord of each city, and this time is not fixed, each city lord has a nether order issued by the ghost city of Xudu, and this specific hour can only be calculated after the nether order.
When Hei told us this, we were looking for the three wells in the city, and if we found one of them, we could all go to the capital. Turning around a street corner, there was a noisy 'crowd' in front of you. Before we could see it clearly, Xiao Hei told us to retreat.
The three of them hid in the corner and looked out, only to see a group of ghosts in front of them holding a nearly transparent ghost. The surrounding ghosts all avoided because of their arrival, and some even fell to the ground prostrate and trembled because they couldn't dodge.
The group of ghosts surrounded the ghost in front and back, and although it looked like it was escorting, it was obviously afraid of the ghost in the middle, and they all kept some distance from it. One of them, a tall ghost, had a thick iron chain in his hand, and the other end of the chain was tied to the ghost in the middle. The ghost's surroundings were filled with a thick yin aura, in stark contrast to its own near-transparency.
"Xiao Hei, what is that, why do those yin ghosts seem to be so afraid of it?" I hid in the corner of the wall and whispered to Xiao Hei in my arms.
"Stupid, that's the ghosts, it seems that this team of ghosts should be escorting the ghosts into the netherworld." Xiao Hei said.
"No, we're really 'lucky' to meet the deaf ghost when we first arrived." Xiao Wenshu on the side exclaimed.
"Amitabha, my master once had that deaf ghost who was not born easily, how can I see it here?" Ignorance also whispered.
"Fool, although deaf ghosts are rare, they are not uncommon. It's not unusual to be met by us! Xiao Hei said disapprerovingly.
"So what do we do now? Do you want to go ahead and find those three wells? I asked.
"Follow them to find the 'Well of the Revenant' among the three wells!" Xiao Hei said.
"Yes, yes, as long as those ghosts send that deaf ghost into the deaf realm, we can enter the ghost city of Xudu through the well of the revenant!" Xiao Wenshu immediately chimed in.
"So what are you waiting for, let's keep up!" I said excitedly, eager to keep up soon.
"Be careful!" Xiao Wenshu pulled me back, "I said Sister Hua, it depends on the situation if we want to act!" ”
Xiao Wenshu pointed ahead as he spoke, and I realized that I had almost run into trouble.
I saw that although the team of ghosts had already walked over at this time, a ghost messenger at the back of the team suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of our side, if it wasn't for Xiao Wenshu pulling me back, I was afraid that I would be discovered.
I secretly blamed myself in my heart, and if I was really discovered, I was afraid that I would be in trouble again.
We waited for the group to go far before we quietly followed. By this time, the streets had returned to their original state, and the ghosts in the streets began to wander again. We shuttled among the ghosts, far following the escort team in front of us.
After turning a few street corners, an ancient well appeared in front of me. It was in an octagonal pavilion, the pavilion was simple and old, it looked a little vicissitudes, I don't know how many years had passed, the top of the pavilion was covered with wild grass, and there was a lack of rubble in many places, and there was a couplet on the two pillars in front of me, because I couldn't see it clearly because it was far away. But the three big red lacquer characters on the flat forehead of the pavilion are real, and they are the three big characters of "Soul Well".
It seems that we are following the right one, I am hiding in a corner of a house with Xiao Mingshu and the little monk of ignorance, looking towards the pavilion, and Xiao Hei is in my arms.
I saw that there were two ghosts guarding the pavilion, and when I saw the team coming from afar, they stepped forward to greet each other. A captain-like ghost came forward to hand over the deaf ghost, and at this time, the deaf ghost began to stir, and it was the captain who pulled the chain around the deaf ghost's neck. I saw him turn around and shake the chain in his hand, and suddenly the deaf ghost let out a miserable howl, startling the yin ghosts who were looking around from afar immediately fled in all directions. Even the ghosts who were escorting the ghosts were so shocked that they drew their swords one after another, and they seemed to be facing a great enemy for a while.
I saw that the captain of the ghost mission waved his hand, and tightened the chain in his hand to suppress the miserable howl of the ghost, and those ghosts breathed a sigh of relief.
I watched this scene, and I couldn't help but sigh at the horror of ghosts, it turns out that people are afraid of ghosts, ghosts are afraid of ghosts, and it's true. I once heard Grandpa say that people die as ghosts, ghosts die as deaf, deaf death as Xi (silent), and Xi dies as Yi (invisible). The hiding place of the deaf is called the 'Deaf Netherworld', and legend has it that the place is more terrifying than hell, and it is generally deaf that they live very miserably there, and they cannot be reincarnated or die, but they can eat ghosts in the same form of existence as ghosts.
In fact, ghosts are the same as people, people are afraid of ghosts, ghosts are also afraid of deafness, this kind of thing is impossible in the mortal world, there is only one situation, that is, when encountering a very powerful grievance in the world, that is, he encountered a great grievance and died in vain before his life, and the head and hand are separated, if his body is not properly sewn, it will produce strong resentment, and the deaf likes to feed on the injustice, the greater the injustice, and if the body is buried in the corpse place,
If he can come to the yang world, of course, this kind of chance is very small, after all, the yin and yang are separated, and the chance is probably just a carp jumping over the dragon gate, but if it risks disappearing, it will also come to the yang world to eat this kind of injustice.
After a long time, the deaf will take this corpse as a host, and the host's memory as its own memory, in fact, what you see is called a ghoul, and the body is just a soulless tattered corpse of a person who died unjustly, and it is really deaf, it is its shadow, that is, this corpse is completely controlled by its shadow. But the fundamental difference between deaf and oni is that they are almost immune to all spells in the yang world, and they like to eat people's injustices.
