"I'm sorry," Xingshu swallowed, "I didn't know you were doing a happy event, so I didn't even prepare a red envelope, why should I have known each other when I met, bother, and say goodbye!" ”

Torture turned around to open the door latch, opened the door, but found that the door was full of the dolls who were chasing him before, he took the opportunity to close the door again, dropped the latch as fast as possible, and turned around again, and found that the puppets in the original courtyard were also surrounding him.

The most terrifying thing is that the faces of those puppets, which originally only had facial features, gradually became clear and became like living people, but everyone was expressionless and looked directly at him with empty and godless eyes.

Except for running, there was no other thought in his mind, he rushed directly to the weaker place on the right, and after crashing into the puppet there, he rushed towards the door of the side room, but the moment he rushed to the door, he suddenly changed direction and ran wildly in the direction of the front yard, and those puppets were also in hot pursuit.

After running to the front yard, the torture technique opened the door directly, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Tang Qianlin and Wei Chiran who were sweating profusely outside, and the torture technique was overjoyed: "Why are you here?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Qianlin and Wei Chi rushed in and closed the door directly, and the moment the door closed, the torture technique found that there were also a large group of puppets behind them.

Torture hurriedly said: "We have to get out!" I'm being chased too! ”

Tang Qianlin and the torture technique found that those puppets were floating in groups from the backyard, and just when they were surrounded by puppets and were attacked on their backs, they heard the sound of knocking on the door behind them, and then the familiar voice of Wei Chiran sounded: "Open the door!" ”

"Master," Wei Chi was overjoyed and hurriedly went to open the door, but Tang Qianlin immediately stopped him.

Tang Qianlin said: "How do you know that it is your master!" ”

Wei Chiran was also stunned, right, what if it wasn't He Changqing outside the door? No, no, no, the point is, why did He Changqing appear here? Thinking of this, Wei Chiran naturally didn't dare to open the door.

He Changqing, who was outside the door, said again: "Hurry up and open the door, otherwise you will all die, I am rushing over to help, if you don't open the door, then I will leave!" ”

Wei Chiran hurriedly asked, "Master, then you answer me, what did you go to do before?" ”

At this time, the group of puppets had already begun to beat everyone, and Wei Chi curled up there with his head in his hands, waiting for an answer.

He Changqing, who was outside the door, replied unhurriedly: "I'm going to look for Xiao Yewang." ”

"It's really Master!" Wei Chiran hurriedly opened the door, and after the door opened, He Changqing directly shouted "Get out of the way", and then reached out and spilled something from the bag next to him, and when those black things fell on the dolls, the dolls immediately lost their ability to move and stood in place.

He Changqing continued to sprinkle those things until all the puppets in the courtyard lost their ability to move, then he stopped, moved his arm and said, "Wei Chiran, come, press the master, I'm almost exhausted." ”

Wei Chiran was also beaten and his whole body hurt, he walked up to He Changqing and asked, "Master, what method did you use to make them stop?" ”

He Changqing opened the bag, Wei Chi looked down, and then smelled: "Soil? ”

He Changqing said: "Yes, it's soil, but it's grave soil." ”

Both the torture technique and Tang Qianlin were surprised when they heard this, and Tang Qianlin asked, "Grave soil?" You're saying that these dolls are all imprisoned ghosts? ”

He Changqing sat on the threshold: "Yes, this is an evil art, no one has used it for a long time, and I don't know how to use it, but I know how to crack it." ”

The torture technique thought for a while and asked, "Senior, are you talking about the method of shepherding souls?" ”

"Even if you have knowledge," He Changqing opened the thermos cup, took a sip of hot tea, and showed a satisfied expression, "I thought you all had the ability to reach the sky, but it turned out that you couldn't even deal with these things." ”

Wei Chiran asked, "Master, what the hell is going on?" ”

Tang Qianlin got up and said, "This is not the place to talk, let's go." ”

"Where are you going?" He Changqing stopped everyone from leaving, "You don't know what's going on with Soul City and Shepherd Soul at all, right?" This other party, you go the same everywhere, it's not safe, it's better to stay here. ”

Tang Qianlin didn't trust He Changqing in the first place, of course, He Changqing also knew this, but he didn't care. It's like he doesn't care if other people can understand his point of view.

Tang Qianlin endured it and didn't have a seizure, after all, He Changqing's tone was unpleasant, and he seemed to treat everyone else as idiots.

The torture technique rubbed the medicine on the bruised area, and at the same time asked, "Senior, what is going on here?" ”

"Let's talk about the soul husbandry first, this is an evil art, but unfortunately, this evil art only exists in the imagination, just like the Soul City only appears in the romance," He Changqing held a thermos cup and looked at the torture, "Among the different ways, the most favorite art is probably the corpse painter, they like calligraphy and painting, and they also like to create, there have been several well-known writers and painters among the corpse painters, of course, they are only well-known in the other way, those people are called' The seven sons of Chen' are called this because all seven of them belong to dragons. ”

The former fame of the seven sons of Yidaochen is like a well-known actor in the entertainment industry now, and they are sought after by many people in the Yidao, and the books and paintings they write can even be used as currency in circulation for a certain period of time. Every time their works appear on the underworld, there will be a rush to buy, and some people even fight because of this, causing death.

The Seven Sons once co-authored a book, and the purpose of writing this book was originally for the competition. After all, the most indispensable thing for those who engage in art is imagination and creativity, creativity does not need to be questioned, they all have it, but what about imagination? So, they agreed to write stories about things that had not happened in their heretical way, but that seemed to be something that had indeed been in the heresy.

During this period, someone created the story of the shepherd's soul, which is written about the emergence of a cult during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and what the cult did was to create evil spirits and resentful spirits. Of course, the prototype of the sect that the person writes about in the book is naturally the sewing of thousands of corpses that have been studying corpses.

The cults in the book use all kinds of methods to harm people, and study the ways in which the people they kill will become the most powerful resentful spirits after death, and then they find that the resentful spirits of the people who have been imprisoned by casting spells before death become the most terrible.

Hearing this, Wei Chiran asked, "Master, what does it mean to be cast a spell before you die?" ”

He Changqing said: "To put it bluntly, that is, the murderer knows some strange arts, before killing, he is worried that the deceased will turn into a resentful spirit to find himself for revenge, so he used a strange art before he died, such as coaxing the deceased to eat something before he died, and when this person dies, although his three souls and seven spirits will not disperse, but the ghost will be restrained in the place of death, of course, if you can force him to commit suicide, then the power of the resentful spirit will be stronger." ”

In the book, it is written that after the cult discovered these things, it found a person, first tortured him with strange arts, and then used strange arts to calm his soul in advance, and then used his wife and children as a threat to force him to commit suicide, and then killed his wife and children at the moment when he was about to kill himself, so that he died with great hatred, but because he was bound, he could not take revenge, and he could not even do reincarnation.

After that, the cult will plant a dogwood tree in the place where it died, and when the dogwood grows, it can seal the evil spirits in it, and then cut down the tree to make a puppet, or to remove evil spirits, and then you can call it at will.

Because his resentful spirit knows that it is driven by the enemy, it grows stronger and stronger, and it will become an almost invincible resentful spirit, but there is a way to temporarily immobilize it, and that is the grave soil, that is, the dirt around his grave.

After listening to this, Wei Chiran said: "I see, but this is just what is written." ”

He Changqing shook his head and said: "After I originally rushed here, Zhan Tianya asked me to come down to support, after I came down, I was attacked by those puppets, when I shot and fought with the puppets, I found that those puppets were evil spirits, so I thought of this story, so I went back to the top and found some grave soil to bring on, and I wanted to try to go down, who knew it would really work." ”

Tang Qianlin asked beside him: "Didn't you say that you must use the grave soil where your body is buried?" Do you use the grave soil from the South Bank cemetery? ”

He Changqing looked at Tang Qianlin: "You also have the title of Capture Qianlin, you don't understand such a simple truth?" On the other hand, doesn't it mean that the resentful spirits in the puppets here happen to be made of people buried in the eleven cemeteries? ”

Tang Qianlin realized that because of his inexplicable hatred for He Changqing, he had lost even the most basic logical thinking, so he just nodded slightly and did not refute He Changqing.

Wei Chiran asked: "According to this, the resentful spirits here are the courtiers of the Nanzhao Kingdom who were forced to participate in the rebellion?" ”

He Changqing shook his head: "Who knows, but one thing is certain, that is, there must be someone behind these puppets who is manipulating, and the person who controls it must be a heretic, otherwise this person would not have created such a place, only a person from a different way can read that book and know the way to shepherd the soul." ”

"Wait," the torture technique interrupted He Changqing, "senior, you mean that this person casts spells according to the method inside?" This is a bit ridiculous, it's like someone watched Journey to the West and plucked their own hair to conjure up a clone. ”

He Changqing took a sip of tea and closed the lid: "If there is no problem with the truth that Wei Chiran said, then in our world, it is absolutely normal for anything that was previously thought to be bizarre and incredible. ”

He Changqing's words do make sense, just like writing a book, when the author sets the background of the story and shapes the worldview in the book, with the support of the worldview, it is reasonable for everything to happen. What's more, the world they live in is just a product created by real humans with the help of Agi, an artificial intelligence.

At this moment, Wei Chiran began to understand very well why the game characters created by human memories in the real world wanted to leave the game until they died. Because they never believe that they were created, they believe that they are the consciousness of real human beings in the game.

What is the difference between this and ordinary people in this world who want to fight to the death?
