Chapter 20: Epiphany
Xiaobao, who is like the walking dead, seems to be unaware of this strange scene, and still walks forward unhurriedly.
In the confusion, a gust of wind suddenly blew into this dark and strange house, blowing the villagers and female ghosts to the ground, and it was very difficult to open their eyes.
At the same time, a voice full of anger and majesty quickly came in: "You don't know how to advance or retreat! How dare you ask for people's souls in this Lang Lang Qiankun! Do you want me to scatter your souls? ”
As the words fell, I saw an old woman in ragged clothes and holding a peachwood sword kick the door and broke in directly.
The coercion in the old woman's words was very strong, Xiaobao trembled, his mind suddenly became clear, and when he opened his eyes, he looked at the surrounding scene and found that there were countless tombs standing in front of him.
Where is this mourning hall, it is clearly a mass grave in Xishan!
Xiaobao was shocked inexplicably: Why did I come to this ghost place in a trance?
looked at the woman in blue beside her again, and suddenly her hairs stood on end.
I saw that only half of her face was left, and the other half was showing white bones, especially the protruding gums, which looked very scary.
Xiao Bao, who was panicked in his heart, just wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but unexpectedly his wrist was locked by her sharp finger bones.
Xiaobao was so frightened that his soul was scared, and when he was helpless, a familiar figure appeared in front of Xiaobao.
This person was none other than his master, Grandma Sun.
Granny Sun held a peachwood sword in her hand, and she was about to stab at this female ghost, but who knew that at the critical moment of this female ghost, she actually conjured up many clones, but instead surrounded Granny Sun.
"What! This is the secret technique of Maoshan -- the doppelganger technique? ”
Granny Sun was not surprised, that is, in this short moment, the surrounding female ghosts stretched out their right palms and were about to besiege Granny Sun.
Just now, the female ghost's doppelganger technique had already made Granny Sun vigilant, seeing these doppelgangers attacking together, how dare she be careless, quickly took out a few soul suppression needles, and flew to the female ghosts around her one by one in a circle.
When one of them wailed, the clone dissipated instantly, leaving only the terrifying female ghost from before.
Granny Sun saw that the female ghost was exposed, and when she shot again, she didn't expect the female ghost to escape under her nose, and finally disappeared without a trace.
"Strange things, strange things! The dead thing actually knows the long-lost Qimen technique? This is counterintuitive! Could it be that there is some master behind this who is manipulating behind the scenes? ”
Granny Sun frowned and walked quickly to the place where the female ghost had just disappeared, her eyes showing deep confusion, and she couldn't help but start muttering to herself.
Xiaobao was already stunned, and he didn't know what Granny Sun was talking about, if it weren't for Granny Sun calling his name, he would probably be stunned for a long time.
Then Grandma Sun led the way in front, and Xiaobao followed behind her in a trance, walking stiffly.
Every few steps, Granny Sun would call Xiaobao, and I don't know how far she had walked, Xiaobao finally followed Granny Sun back to the place where she lived......
After a while, Xiaobao, who was lying on the earthen kang, suddenly woke up.
He leaned against the earthen wall with a pale face, gasping for air.
"You're finally awake."
A slightly hoarse voice came abruptly from Xiaobao's ears.
Hearing this voice, Xiaobao reflexively sat up from the kang and looked around with some fear: "Who! Who's talking! ”
When he saw that the person in front of him was Grandma Sun, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his tense heart slowly calmed down.
Thinking of what happened to him before, he was busy pouring bitter water on Grandma Sun.
During this period, Grandma Sun did not interrupt and listened to him very patiently.
It wasn't until Xiaobao finished speaking that Grandma Sun explained the reason to him.
She said that Xiaobao has encountered strange things too often recently, resulting in low mood and weak body, so being suddenly frightened will cause the soul to leave the body, so that those evil people take the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole, and they are about to lose one soul and three souls.
Xiaobao didn't understand the difference between losing his soul and losing his soul, so he asked Grandma Sun curiously.
Grandma Sun said that this is a very good difference, the consciousness of ordinary soul-losing people is very clear, to put it bluntly, where they have been, what horror and bizarre things they have seen, they will remember.
Once the soul leaves the body, it will feel light and fluttering all over the body, and there is an illusion that it will be blown away by the strong wind at any time.
If the body loses the existence of the soul, it will cause a lack of five senses, and it will not know pain or hunger, like death, but there is still breathing, and this state is a bit like a symptom of suspended animation.
The most troublesome thing is that the person concerned knows that he is in a dream or illusion, but he can't wake up.
It is the opposite, it is possible that even the person himself does not know when he lost his spirit, but the main manifestation is obvious, generally most of them have a high fever that does not go away, are unconscious, full of nonsense, and do not know what they are doing.
It's fine if you get back the lost souls, but if you can't get them back, you won't be able to die.
After a few days, the person concerned will wake up, but he will become stupid and stupid, or crazy, or more serious, and will leave sequelae such as sleepwalking.
Xiaobao was startled after hearing this, patted his chest and shouted Lucky, fortunately, he was not robbed of his soul, otherwise he would not be able to avenge his parents if he became a fool.
Grandma Sun said that he should still calm down and practice Taoism well, and when he has a certain amount of cultivation, he doesn't have to be afraid of those evil spirits.
Xiao Bao nodded with a red face, and said with some embarrassment: "Mother-in-law, as a cultivator, I am always bullied by those evil spirits, is it a shame for you?" ”
Hearing this, Granny Sun smiled indifferently: "Whether it is a cultivator or an ordinary person, as long as he is alive, he may be bewitched by evil spirits, so why not be ashamed." ”
patted Xiaobao lightly on the shoulder, and then continued: "To put it bluntly, strength is your guts!" When your Dao skills are strong, you will naturally have no fear, and on the contrary, it will be like the encounter you encountered today. ”
Xiaobao suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand my mother-in-law, is it because I have low Taoist skills, so those evil people will always find me?" ”
"Yes, that's what it means." Granny Sun nodded, and said earnestly: "Right now, these evil things are just the first hurdle in your life, since you follow me to practice Taoism, then this kind of strange thing will be like a common thing in the future." In other words, it can also be counted as an experience, and when you overcome your fears and mature your mind, this is a great improvement for you. ”
According to Granny Sun, Xiaobao has a better understanding of this strange thing, and if a cultivator can't overcome even this little difficulty, then how can he face a more powerful opponent in the future?
Thinking about it, I am still too immature, and it seems that I will have to redouble my efforts to cultivate the Tao from today onwards!
Xiaobao was looking down and thinking about things secretly, when he suddenly heard a familiar and surprised voice from outside the door: "Ah! Brother Xiaobao, you are awake! ”
