Section 503: Ghost burial
Pu Zitong walked in front, Zhang Su followed quickly, Pu Zitong's mysterious appearance made Zhang Su a little more curious about the ghost tomb, he didn't ask anything more, just followed closely, wondering where in this open dense forest can be stored a so-called 'cemetery', hidden for a hundred years but buried the suppressed thousand ghosts.
"Here it is, it should be here." After walking for more than ten minutes or so, Pu Zitong finally stopped among several more strange-looking plane trees, looking at the tall plane trees that were vaguely surrounded by a circle, Pu Zitong's tone was firm and joyful.
"Is this the entrance to the ghost tomb? But this doesn't seem to be any different from the plane forest I passed by, and if I want to say the difference, the plane trees here look taller and weirder than the ones in front of me, and I didn't notice anything else. After Pu Zitong finished speaking, Zhang Su looked around with his eyes, but he didn't find anything, and then he opened his soul eye and simply looked underground, but he didn't notice anything abnormal, so he asked Pu Zitong in confusion.
"Haha, you seem to have made a mistake, the ghost tomb is a place to bury ghosts, how can it be the same as the tomb of a buried person, you use the method of searching for the tomb of a buried person to search for the ghost tomb of a buried ghost, and naturally you will not get any results." Hearing Zhang Su's inquiry, looking at Zhang Su's confused eyes, Pu Zitong covered his mouth and smiled, as if he was laughing at Zhang Su's innocence.
"I haven't even buried people, where do I know the difference between burying ghosts and burying people, I only know that most of the cemeteries are buried underground, of course, there are some hanging coffins, submarine tombs and the like, but according to the general customs of the world, buried in the ground can be called fallen leaves to return to the roots, which means that the dead souls have found a peaceful place to live, in addition, I don't know anything about tombs, don't the ghost tombs you said apply to human burial rites?" Seeing that he was being ridiculed by Pu Zitong, Zhang Su pursed his lips, explained to Pu Zitong, and then asked.
"Well, I also know what you said, ghost burial is not completely unsuitable for human funeral ceremonies, but there are still some differences between the two, let's talk about human burial first, from funeral to burial, this whole process seems cumbersome, but it is said that it is a ritual set by early soul exorcists to help the soul of the deceased ascend to heaven, you are a soul master, and you should also know that if the soul is not purified and dispersed in time after death, it is easy to become a ghost and a ghost, wandering the world, so some soul exorcists thought of a way, that is, to promote the so-called'Funeral', let the deceased family develop the custom of beating gongs and drums, beating flags and carrying the coffin, so that the exorcists hidden in the crowd can know where the dead souls appear, they can follow the sound to rush to that place in time, before the soul of the deceased turns into a ghost, secretly purify and disperse the soul of the dead, reduce the increase of ghosts in this world, so as to ensure the peace of the world, and the so-called funeral rites have been handed down in this way, and it has become a kind of etiquette in the world. Pu Zitong explained to Zhang Su seriously.
"You're saying that the funeral rites of the world are set by the exorcists
A scam? Hearing Pu Zitong's explanation, Zhang Su's three views were once again refreshed, and he asked with a surprised face.
"These contents are what I see from our family's soul clan historical materials, if it is not a scam, this is just a method that the soul master thought of to find someone dead as soon as possible, and it was propagated and implemented in the present world." Pu Zitong replied simply.
"So this means that there was no such thing as a funeral or funeral in the world a long time ago, and the funeral rites that appeared later were a habit deliberately cultivated by the soul exorcists in the crowd in order to find out who had a dead person faster, which is also outrageous...... is it really so easy for people's behavior and habits to be cultivated? Even thousands of years later, this funeral ritual is still prevalent. Hearing Pu Zitong's answer, thinking of the identity of the princess of Pu Zitong's soul clan, although Zhang Su still had some doubts about the authenticity of it, he already felt that what he said was true, and was shocked.
"Are there still few examples of people's behavior and habits being cultivated in a targeted manner? Eating zongzi, setting off firecrackers, eating the moon and ......, and even today's Valentine's Day, shopping festivals, ...... which one is not a living example, some habits are cultivated by some saints and wise men, and some are cultivated by some businessmen and religions with relevant interests. 'Dogs' does not mean that they must be discarded after the sacrifice, but that in order to achieve a certain purpose in the future, they can be shaped according to their own wishes in advance, which in today's parlance is 'directional training'. Pu Zitong thought about it and explained to Zhang Su seriously.
"I see, although everyone looks like a human being, but there is still a difference between people and people, some people have been wise enough to fabricate others at will without revealing themselves, while others are wantonly fabricated but do not know...... well, I probably understand what the appearance of human burials is all about, so after human burials, what is the situation of ghost burials?" After listening to Pu Zitong's explanation, Zhang Su nodded thoughtfully, and then continued to ask.
"Ghost burial is naturally not a directional training, and it does not require the participation of ordinary people, it is similar to the funeral ceremony, that is, to include the ghosts and souls that need to be buried into a forbidden space, similar to sealing people in coffins, and then burying the coffins in the ground, after this series of operations is completed, the ghost burial will end." Pu Zitong replied.
"In that case, then why didn't I find that the land under my feet had a forbidden space to bury souls and ghosts after I opened my soul eye and soul power perception? Could it be that the ban on blocking a space has lost its effect, and the ghost tomb no longer exists? After listening to Pu Zitong's answer, Zhang Su asked curiously.
"Because that ghost tomb space is not buried underground like a normal tomb, it is not under your feet." Hearing Zhang Su's inquiry, Pu Zitong shook his head and replied.
"Not at my feet? Is it still in the sky? Zhang Su heard Pu Zitong say that there was no underground, and frowned puzzled
, and then deliberately looked up at the sky.
"It's not an exaggeration to say that it's in the sky, but it's not the sky you see now, it's the sky in another small world, and that small world is the ghost tomb where my ancestors forbade a thousand ghosts." Pu Zitong said meaningfully.
"Another small world? What do you mean? After Pu Zitong finished speaking, Zhang asked in surprise.
"If you have read some classics of the soul master realm, you should be able to see some rumors about the soul master's level and ability, there is a rumor that after the soul power level reaches the soul immortal, it is possible to break some rules of the human world and the soul realm, and comprehend some special means, the soul power level of the ancestor of my family has reached the advanced soul immortal in today's words, and has also comprehended some so-called ' Special means', and one of the means is to open up space, he used that means to open up a ghost tomb space that can communicate with here, and locked layer by layer, buried thousands of ghosts there, and here, only a secret entrance to the ghost tomb space was left, and that's it. After Zhang Su asked, Pu Zitong finally stopped selling Guanzi, looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, he secretly passed on the message to Zhang Su and told Zhang Su the truth completely.
"Carve out space? Can that be done? Pu Zitong's words seemed to peak Zhang Su's cognition again, and Zhang Su asked in surprise.
"In fact, it is not a very mysterious thing to open up an independent space, such as the storage horcrux in your hand and the soul storage device you use to store Bandie, which should be regarded as examples of self-contained space, so my ancestor can open up space, and there is nothing surprising about it, but the space he can open up can accommodate thousands of ghosts, such a space volume is rare in the realm of the soul master, so this is also his powerful place." Pu Zitong thought about it and responded to Zhang Su.
"Since the ghost tomb space is connected to here, then there should be an entrance to the ghost tomb space here, right? I looked around, and I also probed with soul eyes and soul power perception, and I didn't find anything unusual here, where is the entrance you are talking about? Is there such a mystery? After hearing Pu Zitong's response, Zhang Su continued to ask.
"The place where the ghosts are buried naturally has to be extremely secretive, otherwise if it is accidentally broken into by a soul master or ghost who is not long-eyed, I am afraid that the thousand ghosts that are imprisoned and purified in it will be released, so my ancestor's efforts will be in vain, but others can't find the entrance to that special space, but I know where it is, so next I will take you through the secret entrance to see if the treasure left by my ancestor in the space opened up back then can still be used, The thousand ghosts there must have all perished, and I might be able to take that treasure out for my own use. After Zhang Su asked, Pu Zitong once again showed a mysterious look, and said with a soul light shining in his eyes.
"Since it's a secret place, is it really okay for you to take me, an outsider, in?" After Pu Zitong finished speaking, Zhang Su frowned, as if he was worried about something, and asked.
"It stands to reason that this ghost tomb space can be regarded as a ban set by my ancestors
You can't bring outsiders into the land at will, but if you think it's only for the purpose of banning and suppressing ghosts, it shouldn't be related to the secrets in my family, so it shouldn't be anything for you to accompany me in, just let you open your eyes, but then you are not allowed to tell anyone that the two of us have entered this ghost tomb, even if it is to those in my family, you are not allowed to say it, don't say a word. After Zhang Su asked, Pu Zitong pondered for a moment, and then suddenly put on a serious appearance and reminded Zhang Su.
