Chapter 172: The Ghost Calls the Soul (I)

Senior Zhang Xuan didn't say anything to me, he bent over and helped me up, and carried me on my back. I have to say that Zhang Xuan's predecessors are ghosts and immortals, and I was carried by a ghost immortal like this, and it was the first time in my life. If I hadn't been injured, I'm afraid I wouldn't have dared to make such a mistake with the courage of the two of us, and it would be too late to be respectful, how could I dare to let Zhang Xuan's predecessors work so hard. But now that I have become a burden to Zhang Xuan's predecessors, although I am aggrieved in my heart, there is no room for speech.

At this moment, he was carried by Zhang Xuan's seniors, and he only felt that his body was light and fluttering, and it was swaying back and forth, as if it was contained in a bottle. I knew it was because my soul and body couldn't stabilize each other, and it was because my soul was uncertain that I felt like I was shaking, but my body didn't move at all. My consciousness was hazy, and my eyes were even darker and brighter, and as for the heavenly eye I opened, it became even weaker......

It seems that I felt that Zhang Xuan's predecessor carried me at the same time, and walked into the passage, by the way, I haven't asked Zhang Xuan's predecessor, what kind of demon is hidden in the fifth layer of Jiao Palace? Zhang Xuan's predecessors said that in addition to the evil obstacles in the fourth layer of the Jiao Palace, he could sense what was in the fifth layer of the Jiao Palace. It's a pity that I don't even have a chance to open my mouth to ask questions now, and what's more, my consciousness is still a little flustered, sometimes awake and sometimes faint.

If this continues, I don't know when I will be able to completely wake up, so I have to stop thinking about anything else, but calm down and continue to breathe.

The passage in front of me is still winding down, but it is dim and dark, and I don't know how many meanings it means, as if it is about to rush to the Yama Hall of the underworld. The air inside is very different from the fourth layer, not just gloomy and cold, but even more so, as if a strong oppressive atmosphere is deeply enveloping me. And Zhang Xuan's predecessors didn't seem to care about this, and went down all the way down the passage to the fifth layer of Jiao Palace.

But at the entrance of the Jiao Hall on the fifth floor, Zhang Xuan's predecessor habitually stopped. Every time we enter the Jiao Hall on the first floor, we must first observe the movement inside, and then predict how to deal with the demons inside to let us pass. But this time, Zhang Xuan's predecessor didn't seem to be too worried, and said casually: "The ghosts in this Jiaodian are very different from ordinary ghosts!" ”

I was tempted to ask what the difference was, but my lips squirmed, and I couldn't make a sound. Immediately afterward, Senior Zhang Xuan seemed to see what was on my mind, turned his head to look at me, and said with a smile: "I know that although you are half dazed and half awake now, you also want to know what the ghosts in this fifth-layer Jiao Hall are!" In fact, I don't know how to tell you, I can only tell you that this layer of Jiao Hall can lead to the underworld! ”

What the? This fifth-layer Jiao Hall can lead to the underworld? Isn't this place connected to hell in this way?

Senior Zhang Xuan seemed to be talking to me, and he seemed to be talking to himself, and then said: "This place is indeed connected to the underworld, and from here to the underworld, and then from the underworld to the yang world, you can almost ignore the obstacles of the four layers of Jiao Hall above, and those evil obstacles cannot be stopped. Therefore, the ghosts in this layer that I sensed were very active, and often traveled between the two worlds of yin and yang, but when I remembered that it had not done anything evil, I had not been here much like the previous layers. ”

You can walk through the yin and yang worlds at will, and you are not afraid of the ghost soldiers and ghost generals to catch them, what is the origin of the ghosts in the fifth layer of Jiaodian here? I was curious, but my mind had just become entangled, and I suddenly felt a dizziness in my head. As a last resort, I had to forget the reverie in my heart and just watch what Zhang Xuan's predecessors did. At this moment, Senior Zhang Xuan was standing quietly at the entrance of this fifth-layer Jiao Palace, as if he was waiting for something, and he seemed to be observing something.

Because I was lying on the back of Zhang Xuan's predecessor, I was able to take advantage of the situation to glance at the fifth layer of the Jiao Palace, and I saw that the inside was completely different from the fourth layer of the Jiao Palace, and it was very different from the third and even the second layer. Inside, it was pitch black and empty, and the edge of the stone wall around it could not be seen at all, as if this place was an endless black hell, which made people feel helpless, and naturally felt lonely, especially terrifying!

"Hmm."

After looking at it for a while, Zhang Xuan's predecessor nodded inexplicably, and said in a low voice: "It seems that this ghost has run out to work again, since there is no master in this fifth-layer Jiaodian, we may be able to go directly to the sixth-layer Jiaodian...... No! As soon as he was halfway through the words, Senior Zhang Xuan changed his words again, and then shook his head, he was lowering his head at the moment, not knowing what he was looking at, and I didn't have any strength in my body, so I couldn't do anything except let Senior Zhang Xuan carry it.

After a pause, Senior Zhang Xuan said again: "I didn't expect this ghost to arrange a forbidden method in the cave, it must have touched these things, no matter where it is, it will know it!" Okay, Ergou, you wait at this entrance first, I'll go in and take a look at the situation, if it's safe, let's find a way to find the entrance to the sixth layer of Jiao Palace! ”

After that, Senior Zhang Xuan directly put me on the ground, gently let me lean against the edge of the passage, then frowned, and whispered: "You stay here for a while, I'll go back!" It seems that this sentence is comforting to me, more like admonishing me. I couldn't control my body, so I could only blink vigorously and agree with Zhang Xuan's senior's decision.

In the Jiaodian on the fourth floor before, I didn't listen to the arrangement of Zhang Xuan's predecessors, so I was brutalized by the Luotou clan again and again, and I was bitten down twice, almost biting me to death. Fortunately, Zhang Xuan's predecessors were able to appear in time to rescue after each incident. Now I deeply understand the truth that if you don't listen to your predecessors, you will suffer in front of you. So this time I didn't dare to be reckless anyway, seeing that I blinked my eyelids, Zhang Xuan's senior smiled slightly, as if he had acquiesced that I had finally become obedient.

Senior Zhang Xuan stood up, disappeared in place in an instant, and reappeared, already in the fifth layer of Jiao Palace. He turned his head and glanced left and right a few times, and the last flash disappeared again, and never appeared again, maybe this fifth-layer Jiao Hall is really too big, and the distance I can see is really too short, so the figure of Zhang Xuan's predecessors, I am afraid that it is difficult to see clearly in a short time.

Lying quietly, since I couldn't be curious to observe the situation of the fifth layer of Jiao Palace, I had to close my eyes slightly and breathe patiently. It's just that my consciousness is intermittent now, and it is difficult to concentrate in one place, and the more I deliberately try to breathe, the more disturbed my mind becomes. I don't know how long it took, but I resolutely gave up pranayama, just because my mind is too chaotic now, and if I continue to force myself to pranayama like this, I am afraid that the situation will get worse and worse!

Master once said that you can't do it deliberately, otherwise you will be abandoning the basics. I just couldn't concentrate on my thoughts all at once, and I had to concentrate in a hurry, which made deliberateness a disaster, but fortunately, I gave up the idea of pranayama in time, and my mind gradually calmed down. It's just that after this tossing, my consciousness has become thinner instead of thicker.

Moreover, I can almost feel that my soul is fluttering, and it seems that I can get out of my body at any time, Zhang Xuan's predecessor said that he forcibly suppressed my soul in my body, unless I achieve the true unity of my soul and body, my situation is still very dangerous. I don't know that once a person's soul is out of the body, it is very difficult to return to the body, either with the help of external forces or by their own strong will.

And my will is unusually weak now, once my soul is out of the body, I only need to rely on external forces to come back again. But Zhang Xuan's predecessor is not around, where can I borrow external force, so I just need to stay calm now and no longer make any trouble. I was pondering, but I felt that my whole body was gradually a little cold, and soon, I could barely feel the temperature on my body, as if this shell no longer belonged to me.

What's going on?

My heart, which had gradually calmed down, was lifted up again, but the more panicked I was, the more dim my brain became, and my consciousness was like a pot of porridge. At this moment, before I could find out the real reason, I inexplicably heard a voice in my ears that seemed to come from a distant place...... "Li Ergou!" Where is Li Ergou? Li Ergou ...... "The voice was sharp and slender, as if a person was spanked and hummed.

However, listening to my ears, I couldn't help but feel a stirring all over my body.

"Li Ergou! Where is Li Ergou? Li Ergou ......"

Hearing the shout from far and near again, I silently muttered in my heart: "Who is calling me?!" "As soon as I thought about it, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, because I could clearly see that my soul was drifting out of my body little by little, and even if I kicked and picked, I still couldn't catch anything. I suddenly realized that the voice I had just responded to in my mind was causing a huge amount of trouble, and if my guess was correct, the person who had just called out to me was ...... Oh no! The ghost voice calling out to me must have been specially used to make my soul leave the body, once I say yes, or respond in my heart, the soul will leave the body in an instant!

The moment my soul left my body, I only felt extremely relaxed, without the restraint of my body, and now my soul seemed to be in the same state as usual, my hands and feet could move, and more importantly, I could speak. Of course, I know better that I am now a soul rather than a living person...... Kicking left and right slowly floated out of the shell, I looked down and saw that it was not, my body was lying on the edge of the passage with my eyes closed, with a miserable face.
