Chapter Seventy-Eight: Ghost Talk
The collapsed houses around it seem to be caused by the roots of this huge locust tree, perhaps in this place, the big locust tree was just a small sapling, not conspicuous in the village, but now, this big locust tree has occupied the whole village, but the people who planted it, the descendants have all been driven out. When I got here, the moonlight was completely cut off, and there was a dim darkness around me, and nothing could be seen.
The gloomy and cold aura enveloped us deeply, and everywhere there was darkness that could not be seen, even more terrifying than the scene I saw when I first went down to the underworld!
The Dead Wood Daoist made a torch and lit it casually, so that we could barely see everything in front of us, this huge big locust tree, the trunk was black and swarthy, and there were many damp mosses all over it, it seemed that the years were indeed long, and the thick roots were all over the ground, and there seemed to be many underground cracks under it, which was very strange. At this moment, at the other end of the big locust tree, there was a sound of collapse again, and the face of the dead wood Taoist sank, and he hurriedly jumped on the roof on the side in three or two steps, his body was light and fast, and he held a torch on it and said urgently: "Brother Yang Dao, I'll go over and have a look first!" ”
Master just wanted to say something, but before the words could be spoken, the dead wood Taoist had already disappeared without a trace, raised his hand in the air, slowly retracted, and said to me: "Be careful about everything here, for the master always feels wrong, let's also make a torch, so as not to panic!" ”
I nodded, found an arm-thick branch, and broke one end of the branch with all my might, then picked up some dry branches and leaves, broke them and stuffed them into the cracks, and set them on fire with a firecrack. The temporary torches were ready, but the Master was not in a hurry to jump on the roof and turn over, as if he was stumbling around for something, I hurriedly came to the Master and asked, "Master, what are you looking at?" ”
The master thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "I want to open the ground and see what the roots of the trees look like underground!" ”
"Ugh." I was stunned and asked puzzledly, "Master, Deadwood Daoist's client is likely to be on the other end, shouldn't we rush over to help Deadwood Daoist grab that corpse?" How do you check the roots here? ”
Master frowned: "The folk have a common name for incense, the yellow god white fairy black is a ghost, and this spirit creature becomes a spirit, naturally there is a distinction between good and evil, if the root of the tree below is white or yellow, it means that the tree spirit is not an evil thing, but if the root of the tree is black, it must have become a demon body, and you must find a way to get rid of it." lest it plague the world in the future! ”
It dawned on me that this was the case, but the ground seemed to be unusually strong, and we didn't take anything when we came, so how could we dig up the ground?
But seeing the master slowly walking to the big locust tree, he was about to take advantage of the situation to find a root from the trunk of the tree that extended to the ground, but the moment his palm touched the trunk, he suddenly retracted it, and his face was frightened...... "This, this tree spirit is actually absorbing the aura in my body!" ”
I stepped forward in astonishment, and was about to reach out to touch it, but was grabbed by the master, who said solemnly: "This tree spirit doesn't seem to welcome us in, so we can't rely too far, otherwise the aura around us will be absorbed by it, and then how can we help the Deadwood Daoist catch his client?" Let's find a way to bypass the side and find the customer of the deadwood road chief first before making plans! ”
It is impossible to get past this road, because the whole road is obscured by huge tree trunks, unless we go around the alley on the side, but most of the houses around it have collapsed, and in many places there is nowhere to put your foot. The master dodged around, and when I couldn't see the master's figure, I suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly chased after him with a torch, but the alley in front of me was deep and empty, where was the master's figure?
"Master! Master, where are you? I trembled and called out to Master in a low voice, but in response to me, there was a dead silence, and there was no trace of Master at all. Alas, Master is also walking too fast!
"Boom...... ......"
At this moment, I suddenly heard a trivial sound coming from the dilapidated houses around me, and I couldn't help but be shocked, what is that sound? It didn't look like footsteps, it didn't look like people talking, but it looked like people talking in those houses.
After walking a few more steps, I looked at the corner in front of me, and I was slightly relieved, but at this moment, Master's voice came into my ears: "Ergou! Ergou, come here! For the teacher is here! ”
Hey? In the blink of an eye, the master actually arrived in a dilapidated house in the distance, what was the master doing there? Curious, I hurriedly walked over: "Master! Where are you? ”
The gloomy aura seemed to be walking up and down my body, my back was even colder, and I couldn't wipe the cold sweat on my head, and when I came to this broken house, I shouted in a low voice again: "Master! Are you in there? It's so dark in here! Why don't you light a torch? ”
I was just about to step in, when I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder patting me, and I jumped up in a hurry, and turned my head suddenly, and saw Master, who looked at me in surprise and asked, "Why did you come here?" Didn't you follow closely as a teacher?! ”
"Ugh." I was stunned and hurriedly said, "Master, didn't you call me in this broken house just now?" I heard your voice before I came! Why did you appear behind me again in the blink of an eye? Is this house open from front to back? ”
Master frowned, his face was particularly ugly, he stared at the dilapidated house in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Master Wei has been in that alley all along, and he didn't come back to look for you when he couldn't see you coming up, and he didn't come to this house at all, so how could he call you in the house?!" ”
"Huh?" I shuddered, completely frightened by Master's words...... "Then since Master you didn't come to this house, then, what happened to the voice I heard just now?" That voice is obviously your voice, I can be sure, and I am even more sure that I heard it correctly, you have said it several times, and I wonder why you came to this broken house! ”
The master ignored me, but said coldly to the dilapidated house in front of him: "I don't care what you are, with me, if you keep to yourself and practice hard, if you dare to act recklessly, I will definitely destroy your soul!" ”
After saying that, the Master motioned for me to follow him out of here, and said again, "Remember, if you don't see the Master with your own eyes, don't believe any voice!" ”
I swallowed my saliva and shivered with horror, this ghost village is too evil, isn't it? He immediately asked Master, "Master, what happened to the voice I heard earlier?" ”
"That's ghost talk!" The master replied coldly, and then said: "Maybe it's the mountain spirit and ghost who lives under this tree spirit and cultivates, or maybe this big locust tree is playing ghosts, but no matter what it is, if they can keep to themselves, it's fine, if they dare to do evil, hum!" ”
Master snorted coldly and walked away quickly, I was stunned in place, and glanced back, and hurriedly caught up with Master with a numb scalp, but I was still curious: "Master, why does the ghost language sound so trivial, before the voice of 'you' appeared, there was a dense and subtle sound, those voices seemed like there were many people talking, and they couldn't understand it at all, it was really strange." ”
"People have words, ghosts have ghost words, and the two worlds of yin and yang are naturally different!" The master nodded, and explained: "Ghost language is also called the underworld, some of the ritual of sacrificing ghosts and gods, it is also necessary to write a dark language, and the underworld, is the text of the underworld, read out, it is the underworld, only the ghost can understand, people can't understand, but ghosts can imitate people to speak, after all, they are transformed after death, but people rarely understand ghost language, you enter the Taoist door day by day, naturally you don't know this, but after the more contact, it will naturally understand." ”
I nodded heavily, it turned out that what the ghosts in the underworld said was called ghost language, by the way: "Master, then the last time I went to the underworld, I didn't feel wrong when I talked to the two Yin soldiers?" ”
Master said: "At that time, you were the main soul walking in the yin, not your body down, after your soul went down, it will naturally pass the ghost language, but you won't realize these at all, but if the yin and yang worlds face each other, it must be in the dark or the dark language, okay, you should know everything you should know, we have already bypassed, be careful, first see where the dead wood road chief goes!" ”
I nodded again and again, and pointed to the row of collapsed and ruined houses on the left, and said, "Master, the sound of the collapse before seems to have come from those houses. ”
"Hmm." Master nodded, and said: "If the walking corpse really ran here, it must have been transformed, if it absorbs the yin qi of this place, it will be even more tricky, whether it will become a zombie as a teacher I don't know, but be careful to be more careful, although this house has just come out of the sound, but now it is silent, most of it is already empty, let's take a general look, and leave if not!" ”
Sure enough, as Master said, we roughly rummaged through a few ruined houses, but there was indeed no trace of the walking corpse, and even the figure of the dead wood Taoist had never been seen, and it seemed that the dead wood Taoist had chased the walking corpse to other places.
"Huh?" The master suddenly stood in front of a clearing, let out a surprised sound, and said hurriedly, "Corpse gas? It smells of corpses! That walking corpse must be nearby, Ergou, stand back! ”
"Bang!"
As soon as Master's words fell, the wall of a fairly intact house in front of him suddenly burst open, and a figure crashed out in embarrassment, and one rolled over, coming to Master, I looked at it and couldn't help but be shocked: "Deadwood Dao Chief!" Is that you? You, why did you come out like this?! ”
