Volume 2: Entering the Ghost Feast by Mistake Section 114: The Spirit House
"Zhang Su, the three are all ghost-level bounties, which one shall we get first?" Pu Zitong looked at the three reward notices in his hand and asked.
"Let's go find that lantern ghost first, judging from the intelligence, it is hiding in an uninhabited old house, no one interferes, we can let go and deal with it, it is said that it has the soul skill to control the soul, and has already controlled a high-level ghast as a thug, so we actually need to deal with the two revenants." Zhang Su recovered from his suspicion of Ding Lin and replied.
"Can you control the other revenants?" Pu Zitong took out the bounty that Zhang Su said, looked at it carefully, and asked in surprise.
"There may be discrepancies in the information detected by Fan Zengming, but there will be no falsehood, it seems that the little ghost does have that ability, but I don't know if the lantern ghost can only control the dead soul or even the soul of the soul master, and it must be guarded against when the time comes." Zhang said.
"If you can control the soul master's soul, it will be too perverted, I don't believe that little ghost will have that ability, I guess it's just using some illusion-creating soul skills to bewitch some low-level revenants, there's nothing to worry about." Pu Zitong said disdainfully.
"My thoughts are similar to yours, and I also think that it may be some illusion-type soul skills, but since Fan Zengming has marked it in the ability. I don't know the word, then you can't be careless when hunting souls, I will first go to the place to investigate the location of the little ghost, and then check if there are traps or the like, and then we will divide into two ways after these potential safety hazards are eliminated, one to solve the lantern ghost, and the other to solve the ghast it controls, the ghast should be easier to deal with, so the person who solves the ghast will go to support another person, and the two intermediate soul kings will besiege a junior ghost, as long as it does not have a special escape soul skill, it is difficult to fly with its wings. "Zhang Su is carrying out the soul hunting layout.
"It's worthy of my Pu Zitong's military advisor, the plan is good, it's seamless, just as you say, I'm a general, and I'll solve the little ghost's business, maybe you haven't finished solving that ghost I'll get the little ghost done first, let's compare who is faster, the one who loses, please have lunch today." Pu Zitong suggested.
"Ha, yes, I'll deal with ghasts and you deal with imps, this meal must be invited by you." Zhang Su replied confidently.
"That's not necessarily, don't forget how long it has been since I advanced to the intermediate soul king, and what I have cultivated is all the secret skills of our Pu family, how can I lose to you, a half-soul hunter, hum." Pu Zitong laughed at Zhang Weidao.
"I won't argue with you, I'll see when the time comes, but don't mess around when hunting souls for the sake of grabbing merit." Zhang Su reminded.
"Hmm." Pu Zitong nodded and replied.
Zhang Su is very calm on the surface, but his heart is very happy, he has always been alone in the face of the ghost ghost, and the number of soul hunting with Lu Sen is also very few, every time the soul hunt is a little lonely, now there is a long-term partner around him, or a girl who looks delicate and lovely, the loneliness in his heart has been reduced a lot, and the soul hunting road is also
There are more colors other than green ghosts and green souls.
Linxiang Old Town, is the old city in Qicheng, located in the center of Qicheng, only one street away from the Fengcheng Forest Valley where Zhang Su had an accident last time, Zhang Su has been hunting souls in Qicheng for a long time, although it is impossible to accurately draw a map of Qicheng, but the distribution of the entire Qicheng Zhang Su is already familiar with the chest, and the old city in the center of the city is a place where he often shuttles, so as soon as he sees the address on the bounty order, Zhang Su knows where to go, and he quickly arrived at the marked location by bicycle, Finally, he locked his eyes on a five-story residential building and parked the car.
"No. 103 Linxiang Old Town, are you sure this is it? I've been hunting souls for a short time, and I don't know much about Qi City, so don't make a mistake. Pu Zitong looked at the dilapidated old building in front of him, looked at the red brick cross lattice in the stairwell and the window frames without glass, and asked in disbelief, as if he was doubting that the big city of Qicheng still had such a dilapidated place.
"That's right, this is it, I came here when I used to rent a house, and the house here has to go through at least two generations, if you don't believe it, you can smell it here and see what you can smell." Zhang Su prompted.
"Smell the smell? Well, there is a cool smell of moss, which should be the reason for the narrow spacing between the buildings of the old building, and the sunlight does not shine in all corners, so moss comes into being in the corner stairwell. Pu Zitong judged.
"What else?" Zhang Su continued to prompt.
"And ......, huh? There is a faint incense, no, this is the smell of incense, the old house here should have passed away. Pu Zitong sniffed with his nose again and said suddenly.
"That's right, renting and buying a house need to find a house first, the new house is very expensive, and I just graduated and didn't have much money in my hand, so I often wandered around in various districts and districts, trying to find some cheap old houses to rent, in order to save money, after a long period of hard work, I have accumulated a lot of experience in finding a house, with the four tricks of looking at the house, one of which is very suitable for the old house." Zhang Su talked about experience.
"Smell?" Pu Zitong asked puzzled.
"There are two common problems in old houses, one is that the house is small, the lighting is poor, the house is dark and damp, the walls are easy to be damp and cracked, and the furniture is also easy to get damp, and people will not be good for their health if they live in it for a long time; Another problem is that the house may be 'sent away', the so-called ' 'Sending people' actually refers to the death of people, the house of the dead is a spirit house, who is taboo to live in this kind of house, I don't know it's good, everyone who knows it, especially single men and women are afraid of living in this kind of spirit house by mistake, and I can't tell whether it is a psychological factor or ghost invasion, I just feel uncomfortable, but the landlord has this house can not be vacant, always want to rent out to earn some rent, the agent wants to charge commissions, then they will not tell you about the house sent to people, which requires you to judge for yourself, generally the house that has been sent to people must have been funeral, and under traditional circumstances, some fireworks and paper money will be burned in the house, so......" Zhang Su explained at length the meaning of "smell".
Zhang Su hasn't finished explaining yet, Pu Zi
Tong suddenly interrupted: "So the smell of incense paper money will be attached to the spirit house, and the funeral is not over in a moment, it will definitely take a few days, and some will have to guard the spirit and keep filial piety, in that case, the smell of fireworks paper money will be stronger, the smell is attached to the house and difficult to volatilize, you need to open the window for a long time to ventilate and even redecorate, but generally after keeping filial piety, their children will leave directly, the house will be vacant and closed, and the smell of incense paper money will be difficult to dissipate clean, and it will linger outside the house for a long time. So I can smell the smell of incense coming from some of the spiritual houses under this building, needless to say, there will definitely be a stronger smell in those spiritual houses, so if you smell carefully, you can know which house is the spiritual house, am I right? ”
"That's right, this is the smell, it is very suitable for use in the old house, I have seen a few houses in this building when I came here to look for a house a year, the rent is not expensive, and the internal conditions are not bad, but it is a serious spirit house, there must be a dead soul in the spirit house, Fan Zengming said that the lantern ghost hiding in the empty house here should be accurate." Zhang said.
"Then let's do what we want, and find out where that little ghost is? Then let's see if there is a hidden trap, so as not to catch the way, and be careful not to startle the snake, and wait until the situation is confirmed, we will start to act separately. Pu Zitong suddenly said seriously.
"Yes, I'm in the groove so soon, give you the key, you go and help me lock the car in the carport over there, so I can free my hands to probe the traces of that little ghost." Zhang said, and then threw the car keys to Pu Zitong.
"Hmph, big lazy cat, the military advisor dares to call the general!" Pu Zitong pouted and complained, but still took the key and pushed Zhang's broken electric car to the carport on the side.
Zhang Su walked to the position of the staircase, because he was afraid that he would startle the snake, so he did not release a large amount of soul power to perceive the fluctuations of the soul power around him, but directly put his hand on the escalator and wall skirt in the corridor, and used the stele soul extension to probe the traces of the soul power of the lantern ghost, and used this method to explore the clues of the lantern ghost.
Soon, Zhang Su collected clues about the two ghosts, according to the clues, there is indeed a junior ghost and a high-level ghost in this old building, the ghost should be the lantern ghost marked on the bounty, and the high-level ghost should be the revenant soul controlled by the lantern ghost.
After that, Zhang Su injected more soul power into the Monument Soul Tuo, opened the exploration power of the Tablet Soul Tuo to the maximum, and let his wisp of soul power follow the soul power of the lantern ghost to index, and finally found out the true signs of the lantern ghost on the top floor of the fifth floor.
After confirming that the true body of the lantern imp was still there, Zhang Su was very satisfied, he calmed down again, and continued to explore the remnant soul traces left by the lantern imp with the stele soul, this time to find out if there was a soul trap set by the lantern ghost around, so as to avoid falling into the trick by mistake like the last overturned ghost banquet.
"Sure enough, there is a trap, this little ghost's vigilance is not weak, he actually used his soul power to set up a few soul thunders in the corridor, and also set up a soul power weaving net on the fourth floor of the building, and the trap set is very new, it should have been laid not long ago, right
Is it knowing that someone is going to hunt it? Or was Fan Zengming already startled when he came to investigate? Anyway, maybe I'm too careful, maybe it's just a precaution to set these traps, otherwise it should have fled from this place. Zhang Zhen thought about the possibility and judged.
"I helped you lock the car, how are you investigating?" Just as Zhang Su was thinking, Pu Zitong walked over and asked softly.
"The ghasts are all there, in the room west of the fifth floor of this building." Zhang Su replied.
"Isn't that simple, just go up and capture them according to our previous plan." Pu Zitong said.
"There are traps." Zhang Su reminded.
"Traps? This little ghost still knows how to set traps? What are the pitfalls? Pu Zitong asked with a cold snort.
"There is a soul power dark thunder in the corridor of this building, once it is triggered, it will call the police, in addition, between the fourth and fifth floors, the little ghost also set up a special soul power weaving net, blocking the corridor between the four and five floors, when the body passes, the grid will be sensed, and when the soul passes, it will be directly entangled in the grid, and the little ghost is estimated to take the opportunity to escape, obviously the lantern ghost is very alert." Zhang Su explained.
"That's easy, let's leave the body underneath, and let the soul outflank from the side, go up the stairs from the next building, I don't think the lantern imp will find out." Pu Zitong suggested.
"Yes, it's just that there is no body to follow, and the soul can't return to the body quickly when encountering danger, which will have a certain risk, so you must be extremely vigilant when dealing with the lantern ghost, then follow the plan, we release the soul to sneak up from the adjacent building, I will first lead away the ghost, so that the ghost can't unite with his own ghost thug, and then you will shoot at the ghost, let's break it one by one, understand." Zhang Su arranged.
"Understood." Pu Zitong replied.
"Okay, let's do it." Zhang Su nodded, then leaned his body against the wall at the entrance of the building, slowly closed his eyes, and his soul slowly floated out of his body.
At the same time, Pu Zitong also leaned his body against the wall opposite Zhang Su, and at the same time released his soul, standing opposite Zhang Su's soul, and after making a departure gesture, he dodged through the wall behind him and sneaked up from another unit adjacent to this building.
Seeing that Pu Zitong had already moved, Zhang Su didn't stop much, and his soul moved, and he also passed through the potholed old wall behind him, sneaking up from another adjacent unit.
"Haha, you did a good job, and helped me collect two revenants, and this half arm will reward you." In the west house on the fifth floor of Building 103 in the old town of Linxiang, a little ghost who looks like a lantern is praising a high-level ghast who looks like he is wrapped in bandages.
"When will you lift the ban in my body? I've already captured twelve revenants for you, aren't you satisfied? Why are you trapping me all the time? The Bandage Ghast asked.
"How nice I am to you, the last time you came to trouble me, I was not
I didn't eat you, but gave you some of the prey of your filial piety to me, you should be content, why do you want to leave me ungratefully? The lantern imp asked angrily when he heard the bandage ghast's question, and then condensed a ball of soul power on the hand shaped like a rice ear, and slammed it into the bandage ghast's body.
"Ah......, it hurts ......, you couldn't beat me with soul power alone, who knew that you could still use that kind of weird soul skill secretly, and then you used me to collect souls for you to devour, and now I have helped you upgrade to the level of a little ghost, and you don't plan to let me go." The bandage ghast screamed after being attacked by the lantern imp, and fell to the ground on his knees, recounting the past in a wronged manner.
"It's not that I won't let you go, I do feel some compassion when I think you have collected souls for me all these years, so let's go, when I catch a soul stronger than you, I'll let you go, how about it? Is that okay? The lantern imp asked with a smile.
"Hmph, who knows if what you said is true or not." The bandage ghast snorted suspiciously.
"Believe it or not...... shhh The lantern imp commanded.
The lantern ghost gave the order, and on the head of the bandage ghost, a blue light triangle mark suddenly flashed, and the soul of the bandage ghost trembled violently as if it was poured into the thunder and lightning, and reluctantly got up from the ground, nodded slowly, indicating that he had understood, and then quickly moved towards the place where the lantern ghost was pointing, looking for the soul power fluctuations that appeared just now.
The bandaged ghast quickly passed through the two old walls, and finally came to the location where it had previously sensed the fluctuations of the soul, and it spread its soul power around, constantly perceiving the situation around it.
"Come out, I've found you." After a few moments, the bandaged ghast focused its eyes on a dilapidated closet and questioned it.
"I'm sorry Uncle Zombie, I'm afraid, don't you eat me, okay." In the closet, a man's soul floated out, timidly begging for mercy from the bandage ghost.
"First Soul? Why did you come here? No, I just sensed that your soul power fluctuated at least at the intermediate ghast level, and now you are deliberately lowering your soul power to let me relax my vigilance! The bandage ghast looked at the man's soul in front of him and said sharply.
"Heh, the vigilance is good, it's still discovered, in the next Zhang suspicion, intermediate soul king, please advise." Seeing that the bandage ghast had discovered his disguise, Zhang Su didn't continue to pretend, and reported his name with a smile.
"Intermediate Soul King?" The bandage ghast repeated in surprise, and looked at Zhang Su with his mouth wide open, but he didn't close it for a long time.
On the other side, Pu Zitong saw that the bandage ghast had left, and suddenly jumped out from behind the lantern ghost, holding Pu Ming's umbrella and waving it at the lantern ghost.
"Well, I'm an intermediate soul king, how about it, I feel the majestic soul power in my body, are you going to be caught or let me scatter your soul power?" Zhang Su
Asked.
"Even if I want to beg for mercy, I can't help myself, so let me have a good fight before I die." The bandage ghast sighed with a wry smile.
"Involuntarily?" Zhang asked puzzled.
"Don't talk so much nonsense, look at the moves, soul strengthening, collapse attack!" Just when Zhang Su asked, the bandage ghast rushed towards Zhang Su as if he was sacrificing his life, the blue light on his soul solidified, raised his right hand that seemed to be wrapped in a bandage, and swung it towards Zhang Su with all his strength, and the soul power of the high-level ghast directly dispersed the soul dust in front of Zhang Su.
"This strength is also the pinnacle among high-level ghasts, but your trick against ordinary soul masters is still a bit threatening, but for me, you are not as good as a drizzle, let you see the strength of the intermediate soul king, soul strengthening, and spirit!" Zhang Su also opened the soul enhancement soul technique, and strengthened his right hand to the extreme of the intermediate soul king, and the same punch blasted out, and the fist of the bandaged ghast instantly exploded.
After all, the difference in strength is significant, and the power condensed by Zhang Su's blow is not at all what a high-level ghast can resist, and as soon as the two fists hit each other, Zhang Su directly blasted the bandage ghast away with a devastating momentum, and the soul power of the bandaged ghast was also blown away.
Seeing the bandage ghast faint to the ground, Zhang Su didn't pay attention to it anymore, and hurriedly passed through the two old walls behind the bandage ghast, and rushed to the room where the lantern ghost was, intending to join forces with Pu Zitong to encircle and annihilate the lantern ghost as planned.
"I'm sorry, Zhang Su, I was tricked, save me!" As soon as Zhang Su arrived at the room where the lantern ghost was, he saw Pu Zitong standing in front of him with a sad face, shouting for help with a guilty face.
