Chapter 543: Soul Hooking Boy
But I knew in my heart that what had just happened was definitely not a fantasy, but a reality.
Because just as the thing attacked the disciples of Nafudo, the jingling bells and the laughter of children became more and more intense, one after another. It's like some kind of peculiar sound wave, hitting the eardrum in waves.
They mingled with each other like a strange lullaby, making my head buzz, and my mind was momentarily blurred and trance under extreme tension.
Blackie began to bark at the fog ahead, and loud dog barking echoed through the passage.
Cold sweat was coming from my back, and I couldn't figure out what that kid was. Not just me, but everyone seemed to notice it, and they all stopped, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Just now...... That was ...... just now."
Tang Hongying's face turned pale.
"Kid, it's a kid!"
The fat man's voice was a little puzzled, he put one hand on his waist, and instinctively touched the peach wood dagger.
Qian Ziqiang, who was walking at the front of the team, frowned, he just wanted to say something, but saw that in the dense fog in front of us, the light point that had just disappeared appeared again, and it was floating up and down in the fog, in a trance.
The crisp and fluttering sound of bells, and the strange laughter of children, floated from the front again, like a wisp of smoke, twisting and spreading, gradually coming out of the stone walls in all directions, and behind us, making people's hearts tighten.
"Who's pretending to be a ghost!"
Qian Ziqiang shouted, took out a yellow talisman from his arms with his backhand, and after pinching a strange hand, the yellow talisman spontaneously combusted without wind.
A scorching wave of air began to explode around everyone, like a whirlwind spinning, surging from under Qian Ziqiang's feet, spraying and spreading to the front and back ends of the passage.
The fog in the air shook suddenly, but instead of disappearing, it became more hazy, covering us in both directions and blurred......
I don't know exactly what the name of Qian Ziqiang's yellow talisman is, but it's obviously the same as my array-breaking handprint, which is suitable for breaking the magic circle or breaking the illusion. Embarrassingly, the rune paper didn't work very well.
The fog grew thicker and thicker, undulating back and forth, inhaling into my nose and making me feel a throb in my chest. Coupled with the jingling bells and weird laughter, it makes people feel nervous and inexplicable, in a bad mood, and give birth to despair.
It is located in the remote mountainous area of Xiangxi, and the fog in the deep mountains is often toxic. If you inhale it into your lungs, you can imagine what the consequences will be.
Qian Ziqiang instructed everyone in Nafutang to wear masks, and the fat man and Duoqing and I didn't have as much wilderness survival equipment as them, so we had to lift the collar of our T-shirt and cover it over our nose and mouth.
In the mist, only a pair of nervous eyes remained.
During the break just now, the short girl from Nafutang told us that her name was Zhou Yiyue, and she was a little trembling at the moment, and a pair of big eyes flashed back and forth on her mask.
"Senior brother, this light ...... Could it be the legendary soul boy? ”
She asked Qian Ziqiang for verification.
Qian Ziqiang didn't speak, and nodded silently.
What is a soul boy? I remember seeing it in the parchment scroll "The Chronicles".
As mentioned in the previous volume, the Taoists call the ghosts that they drive and defend the Yin soldiers, and the law is the most famous of all the Yin soldiers, and it is recognized as the fastest thing in the world.
As Taoists often say, "haste is like a law", which is an explanation of its speed.
And the Soul Hook Boy is the predecessor of the law, and it can also be regarded as the prototype of the Yin Soldier that has not been used and cultivated by Taoists.
To put it bluntly, the law is a ghost, and the reason why it is called a child is because the ghost body of the boy has just been formed, like a blank piece of paper, like a child who has not been in the world. In this case, whoever can control it, it will work for whomever it serves.
Because of the incredible speed of this ghost, some evil sects often use it as a guide.
The evil sects here are not only those cultivators who practice evil methods, but also some fierce ghosts, old demons, spirits, and so on.
The bell on the soul boy is said to be born with a role in guiding the soul. Its bells hallucinate and prompt the spirits to follow it and lead them into traps that have been laid out long ago.
Of course, this is talking about ordinary people. As cultivators, our minds and willpower are incomparable to those of ordinary people. So although it will also be affected by the soul boy, it is not serious.
In addition, the soul hooking boy is still a minor yin soldier and ghost after all, and in addition to being extremely fast and acting as a guide, he does not have any strong aggressiveness.
But this kind of guy suddenly appeared here, what kind of evil thing was he commanded and guided by? Where do you want to take us?
The mist was ethereal, and the bells and laughter of the soul seducers rose and fell in the thick fog, and the light of the green ghostfire of the skulls on the walls flickered, sending chills down the spine.
But there is no other way here, and if we want to find out the truth of the matter, we can only continue to move forward. As the saying goes, "knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the tiger mountains".
Everyone in Nafutang clenched the mountain knife and Luoyang shovel in their hands, and everyone's faces were nervous, and they moved forward cautiously.
The light of the ghost shark scales and the pillars of light of several flashlights swam in the mist, and the snow under their feet was illuminated, but everyone seemed to be walking on the surface of the sea with a dark tide, trembling one by one, for fear that some trap would suddenly appear.
I recited the five-character motto in my mind, trying to gather my mind, and my whole body tensed as I fought against the constant ringing of bells and laughter coming from all directions.
We walked forward for about a few hundred meters, the fog gradually thinned, the light point of the soul boy and the bells and laughter in the air stopped dumbly, and in front of everyone, a huge hall appeared.
I saw that this hall extended in all directions, and five stone caves with a diameter of two meters appeared on the walls around it, and the inside of the cave was dark, and there was constantly mist gushing out of the hole. In the center of the hall, there were more than a dozen dark shadows, looking like people!
Everyone looked at each other, a little surprised. I don't know why a group of people suddenly appeared here. But if you look closely, it doesn't feel right, these people are in the fog, one by one not moving, with different postures and shapes.
After carefully approaching, my eyes widened, only to realize that these dozen or so black shadows were actually human-sized sculptures!
These sculptures are not neatly arranged, but crooked, some two or three leaning together, and some standing alone on their own, scattered in the hall, looking weird......
