Chapter 36: The Evil Spirit

"There are no ghosts in the general sense."

Inside the camp, looking at the bunch of nervous bigwigs in front of him, Lin Yi explained. To be honest, he only reacted when he heard the news. All along, I have only thought about the crisis that has emerged after the apocalypse. Ignoring something that already exists.

"But we saw it with our own eyes." A muscular woman spoke in a hurry. "That thing must be a ghost, I've seen it once in my hometown before."

Yang Chonggang had to be calmer, "There is no ghost in the general sense, is it something else?" In fact, what Qian Hui said, I also saw it a few times when I was in Yancheng. At the time, I thought it was a strange thing that appeared after the apocalypse, but I didn't dare to approach it. ”

At this time, in the room, in addition to several army personnel led by Zhou Shaobo, there were also four evolutionary leaders who were elected. Yang Chonggang, a middle-aged man in a suit, Qian Hui, a muscular woman who has just seen a ghost, Sun Yang, who is always silent and doesn't like to talk, and Wang Xiong, a young man with a scar on his face who sweeps his gaze to Han Jing from time to time.

"What you see, it should be an evil spirit." Lin Yi glanced at Zhou Shaobo, and after seeing that he didn't make a statement, he spoke directly. "Most of the ghosts you see in folklore are like this."

"But it's not the same as the ghost on TV who has memories of a past life or a fierce god who eats people. Evil spirits are essentially just a special kind of spirit created by the mixture of death qi and spiritual energy. It is generally spooked by chance in places where a large number of organisms have died, or when the terrain and feng shui are special. ”

"So many people are dead now! Isn't there a ghost everywhere, an evil spirit?! Qian Hui exclaimed. Yancheng alone, millions of people have died in this apocalyptic catastrophe, plus other animals, there are tens of millions. After that, wouldn't it be the world of those evil spirits!

The others, including Bai Xuanyu, all had slightly changed their faces, and they were extremely frightened. There must have been more deaths in the provincial capital, if that stuff was everywhere. Maybe it could become a dead city. They just tried, and guns and bullets didn't work on that thing.

The crowd began to talk in a few words.

Lin Yi waved his hand. "It's not as serious as you think."

"Don't interrupt, listen to Mr. Lin first." Zhou Shaobo opened his mouth to suppress the noisy voice.

Lin Yi nodded and continued to explain, this is nothing in the cultivation world. But for ordinary people, it's just a secret. "First of all, as I said, an evil spirit is just a special kind of spirit that has no consciousness and no body. Generally, even if it is born, it will dissipate naturally after a short time. ”

"The kind you see, very few have been born before. The newly born evil spirit can only be said to be an evil spirit, which is invisible to the naked eye by ordinary people, and if it is approached inadvertently, people who feel sensitive may be aware of it because of the existence of dead air, which is often said to be a yin wind. ”

When he said this, everyone in the room subconsciously felt that the air seemed to become a little colder. After all, this town was full of wreckage when they first arrived.

"People who are weak in body and will sometimes fall seriously ill when they are plagued by evil spirits. Everyone has heard of this situation, but it is also related to itself. Generally, as long as you are a normal person who is in good health, you will not be affected too much. Maybe you've been exposed to these things before you know it. And soldiers like Commander Zhou and them, the evil spirits that have just been born are approaching, and they may all dissipate directly. ”

"This is an evil spirit that has just been born, and with everyone's current physique, it can basically be ignored. Well. When in a special geographical location, the evil spirits scattered everywhere converge with the evil spirits, the dead qi expands, and the spiritual energy is mixed. There will be the kind that you see, and you can see evil spirits with the naked eye. You can rest assured, the conditions for the birth of such evil spirits are very harsh, not to mention the past, but now so many creatures have died, and only a few have appeared. ”

"As you said, guns and knives are useless against the ghosts they see. Because although they can be seen, evil spirits are still inherently non-existent. But when there were more people, it disappeared. For for this spirit, the will and flesh are the threats. ”

"In short, because there is no entity, the average evil spirit cannot really harm a living being. But if you are weakened by fear, you are likely to be taken advantage of and contaminated with death. ”

After Lin Yi finished explaining, everyone in the hall looked at him, some breathed a sigh of relief, and some were skeptical.

"It's really similar to the ghosts that the old people say, but after so many deaths, if the number of evil spirits is too large, will there be a ghost king or something?" Yang Chonggang hesitated for a moment and asked.

Lin Yi was also worried about this, but he also knew that the current situation was that it was necessary to calm everyone's panic. "It's not impossible. However, the nature of the evil spirits will not change, those things are not living things after all, just a bunch of floating dead air. The evil spirit I saw before should have been in the town originally. Otherwise, we are such a large group of people together, and there is the blood and blood of the army and soldiers, and the evil spirits will not dare to approach. ”

After saying that, he added. "Actually, not to mention the people in the army, everyone's physique has evolved and strengthened now. The people of the patrol team also fought all the way, as long as they kept their minds, they basically didn't have to be afraid. ”

"That's good." Zhou Shaobo nodded, and then instructed an officer next to him to spread the news to the outside to calm down. Before the officer walked out, he thought about it and added. "Let everyone try not to be left alone, ordinary people will still be scared when they see it."

The officer left. The four evolutionary leaders did not move.

"A cultivator in the cultivation world, right?" The young man with the scar who didn't speak before spoke up when Zhou Shaobo was about to end the meeting. His gaze wandered over Lin Yi and the four of them.

"Characters that were previously only seen in fiction books. To be honest, I'm not sure if you're coming to fool us by Head Zhou. ”

"Wang Meng! What do you mean? A grumpy officer slapped the table and stood up. Because of Lu Fang's affairs, they didn't have a good impression of these small gangs that gathered on their own.

"Please forgive my faux pas." Wang Meng hurriedly stood up and apologized to Zhou Shaobo. Then he looked at Lin Yi again. "Actually, I'm not suspicious of Captain Zhou. It's just that if this kind of person exists, I'm thinking, will this apocalyptic world be an accident? This point must not be my own doubt, take this opportunity to ask, please understand Captain Zhou. ”

As soon as he said this, the other three evolutionary leaders all looked at Lin Yi. Even those officers may not have such conjectures in their hearts. Zhou Shaobo's face sank, and he was about to speak.

Lin Yi spoke first, and he didn't have a good impression of Wang Meng. Because this kid has an expression of wanting to do something, it can be seen from his demeanor that this person may not be as crazy as Lu Fang, but he is also the type who enjoys the current situation. He also didn't think that he, a rookie in the cultivation world, needed to bear this kind of problem. But do the head of Zhou a small favor, and it is still necessary to explain a few sentences, otherwise there may be a bigger problem. "First of all, you just said that in the novel, you think too much about yourself. The so-called cultivation world is actually just a martial arts training circle that has not been announced and is relatively not close to strangers. Just like the comic world, it's not the world of cultivating immortals as you imagined. You linked the end of the world to the cultivation world, and I also wanted to say that the world is apocalyptic every day in the comics, should I ask those cartoonists if they predicted something? ”

"You look incredulous. Of course, I don't need your trust, I have no obligation to explain to you in the first place. When you get to the provincial capital, you can think slowly, or ask someone else. I don't care. ”

"As for you always feeling that the end of the world is shady, this touches the blind spot of my knowledge. Maybe someone is doing it, so you can live until now, instead of the whole planet being destroyed together? ”

After Lin Yi finished speaking, the hall fell silent. Wang Meng's face was not very good-looking. He asked this question really to scold Lin Yi and the others, because of jealousy.

Soon after the apocalypse, he was strengthened by superiority, and he considered himself superior. So if you can cultivate earlier, you will definitely be able to become stronger. He had seen the strength of Bai Xuanyu and the others, and it didn't seem to be much stronger than himself who had just been cultivating for a few days. This made him even more jealous and resentful. And, of course, Han Jing. In these days of fighting, Han Jing, who has both beauty and strength, is really dazzling in the panicked crowd.

Through strength and privilege, he can now easily get a lot of women. But this, I can't get it. Just because she was a cultivator, because she had those few companions who were always mavericks.

Bai Xuanyu is also very strong, and much more handsome than him, always standing with Han Jing. The reason for attacking Lin Yi is that Lin Yi is the one who just spoke, but the most jealous is undoubtedly Bai Xuanyu. Why? It's just a little white face, and he started cultivating before the end of the world, and now he doesn't have this ability.

If he could cultivate earlier, he would definitely let these women kneel down**.

"Wang Meng, if you have any questions. When you go to the provincial capital, you can explore it slowly. Now, do your thing. Zhou Shaobo also dislikes this person. But these people are needed to go to the provincial capital, and to maintain the stability of the crowd, this kind of leader outside the army is also necessary.

Wang Meng glanced back and saw that Zhou Shaobo was angry, so he arched his hand with a smile. "Brother Lin is right about this, I think too much. However, I would like to take this opportunity to say one more thing. ”

Zhou Shaobo frowned, and looked at Yang Chonggang and the others who seemed to be intent on cooperating, "Say it." ”

"It's just that I found that the cultivation methods of these people don't seem to be quite the same as ours." Wang Meng's eyes looked at Lin Yi and the others, "Of course I can understand that they were originally cultivators and have exercises, but in the current situation, the materials are uniformly and evenly divided, in order to be able to get to the provincial capital more safely, I think,"

Syllable! Zhou Shaobo slapped the table and interrupted Wang Meng's speech. The face is ugly, it seems that he has a good temper with these people in order to take care of the overall situation!

"Boy, you have to understand the truth that you can't chew too much." Zhou Shaobo didn't speak, and Cheng Wu, who was sitting at the bottom, stared at Wang Meng, and his tone was not good.

Wang Meng was interrupted and looked back at the other three. Sun Yang lowered his head and was silent, and Qian Hui and Yang Chonggang avoided their gaze. His face turned dark, and Wang Meng scolded in his heart. Using the public opinion they represented, they forced the army to let Lin Yi and the others hand over the exercises and share them, but they discussed it.

They also did an investigation and knew that although Zhou Shaobo took a fancy to the four of them, in fact, the four of them had nothing to do with the army. Thinking that maybe even Zhou Shaobo had a heart for the exercises in their hands, so he took the opportunity to test it.

Wang Meng knew that the situation was wrong, and after a few words of apology, he claimed that he would take the patrol team around just in case, and retreated. Yang Chonggang and the three of them didn't stay long, and when the matter of the evil spirit was clarified, they got up and retreated.

"The battle is created by the masters of the military department, and it is a top-level exercise in itself." Before the three of them left, Lin Yi thought about it and said more.

Because Zhou Shaobo had indeed fought the idea of the exercises on their bodies, Lin Yi had also seen the battle and martial arts. That piece of spiritual jade is not prepared for the end of the world. In other words, it is a preparation for the coming of the apocalypse. According to Zhou Shaobo, in recent years, military subdivisions in various localities have suddenly begun to rectify and reform, and in addition to training and weaponry, they have also seen some special things. For example, the communicator, such as the spirit jade, this is a spirit weapon that tests the qualifications of cultivators. Only those who have cultivation qualifications can see the exercises inside. The army uses this kind of image to select cultivators from among the soldiers.

There are nine layers in the battle and martial arts, and there are only the first three layers in the spirit jade. From Lin Yi's point of view, it is indeed the practice of the superiors, and in terms of foundation alone, it is not weaker than the incomplete Aoki Decision and Bodhi Crossing Life Method. And the greatest advantage of this exercise is balance, balance in all aspects, and adaptability.

You must know that the exercises in the original cultivation world have their own requirements. It is not necessary to have the cultivation qualifications to be able to absorb spiritual energy, so every exercise is suitable for cultivation.

Bai Xuanyu's two exercises are inherited by the gods and cannot be passed on, and the Bodhi Ferry Life Method and Aoki Decisive are not suitable for the army to popularize. Therefore, what Lin Yi exchanged for Zhou Shaobo was an empty palm. In the final analysis, the battle and martial arts are also internal strength, and this easy-to-use martial arts is the most suitable for the popularization of the current situation.
