Chapter 397: The Land of Resentful Spirits
Ah Hui took two of his subordinates, first stabbed them with a bamboo pole, but they couldn't open them, and then copied out a machete and cut it.
The corpse and stump have been soaked in water, the blood has long coagulated, and it is like chopping wood for a long time, and the air is filled with a faint corpse smell, which is not strong, but it is absolutely prickly, and I can't vomit if I want to.
The three of them were like clearing the woods, using machetes to break a waterway, and the human remains and debris floated on the water, and the boat slowly sailed in.
It's quiet here, and it's so quiet all around that you can't even hear the sound of the waves. The boat walked very slowly, and each step required the three men to clear a little water with machetes or bamboo poles.
In this way, little by little, the boat went deeper and deeper, and there were more and more corpses around.
I took a closer look, and most of these corpses were in broken clothes, and judging from the texture and fabric, the clothes they were wearing were very old, exactly the same as those of a mountain village decades ago.
I was in a restless mood, and I could faintly feel the countless yin qi around me, and it seemed that I could still hear the sound of wolves crying and howling, which should be caused by the sound of the wind, like many people crying.
This place is truly a place of great evil.
I stood at the bow of the boat and said, "There are so many corpses here, where are you looking for that sect leader?" ”
Ah Hui said: "It's up to you." When we came, we heard from the wizard next to General Su that when we entered here, we had to pray with mana and communicate with the ghosts, and we could easily find the corpse. ”
My throat moved: "Why didn't the wizard come himself?" ”
Ah Hui said: "The wizard is General Su's personal bodyguard and a good friend, he is always with General Su to protect the general's safety, and it is impossible to come alone." ”
I didn't have time to think about it so much, so I could only take one step at a time and find the body first.
I sat on the bow of the boat and began to mobilize mana, and the chain reached Jun Xiaojiao, and suddenly opened the magic eye, and I was cold at this sight.
The entire surface of the lake is filled with a thick yin air, which is dark green, floating thick in the sky, and it is difficult for sunlight to enter. There was a thick darkness on the surface of the lake, and from time to time there were shadows running around in it, and I could hear crying.
How to describe this cry, at first glance it makes people feel cold, I am experienced in a hundred battles, but when I hear this cry, my fingers still can't stop trembling, it is a real cry, the real sorrow comes from it, I really can't imagine that a person can be miserable and desperate to this extent.
I slowly looked in the direction where the cry came from, it didn't sound too far, but I knew that if I was going to row this small boat, I would have to walk for a long time on the lake full of corpses.
I have a gut feeling that the corpse we found is probably the center of this place, the key point for all the resentment to condense, and if there really is such a corpse, it can only be the location where the cry came from.
I pointed in that direction and said, "Go there." ”
They looked at me with puzzled expressions on their faces, and Ah Hui wanted to ask something, but he didn't say anything, and told the two subordinates to go in the direction I was pointing.
I sat in the stern of the boat, opened my eyes, and watched the endless darkness rushing towards us, and there were some dark shadows in the darkness who wanted to come to the ship, at first there were only a few, and then more and more, gathered around the ship.
The soldiers couldn't see these situations, but they all felt a little bit, and they were talking in Southeast Asian, and Ah Hui's face was pale: "Mr. Wang, why has the temperature dropped so much, it's so cold here." ”
I didn't tell them that the ship was surrounded by spirits. Speaking out is afraid to scare them.
At this time, the sky was darkened, and the clouds were thick, and it was raining.
There were more and more resentful spirits around, and these dark shadows could not be seen by men, women, and children, just black shadows, densely crowded around the ship.
I could feel the thick resentment emanating from them, and even a Dharma cultivator like me was almost a little unable to hold on.
In fact, everyone has a sense of these things to a greater or lesser extent, and although the other people on the ship can't see the specific situation, they can feel it.
At this time, there was a dark shadow near the bow of the ship about to board the ship. I couldn't sit still and walked over slowly. Strange to say, as I walked, the spirits seemed to be terrified of me and avoided me, and I was like a bright light dispelling the gloomy darkness.
Why are these spirits so afraid of me? Is it my skill that has increased dramatically? It doesn't seem to be, I didn't mobilize much mana, I just opened my eyes.
I came to the bow of the ship, and the spirits that were about to climb the boat did not dare to go forward, and returned to the darkness.
I touched my body casually, and suddenly touched something, and took it out to see that it was the demon suppression talisman found on Zhu Qiang's body, which was a magic weapon of the Nine Generals Gate.
The texture on the surface of the Charm Charm brightens up a bit, as if it was inadvertently triggering it. I realized something, and poured mana upward, and suddenly the whole talisman lit up, and in an instant, it emitted a thick brightness, like lighting an oil lamp.
I walked back and forth on the boat with the demon suppression talisman, and the dark spirits were so afraid that no one dared to step forward.
The light of the amulet enveloped the entire boat, and the whole ship was bathed in bright light, slowly navigating through the darkness.
They ordinary people couldn't see what was happening in it, but they could feel that it was I who was doing it to dispel the cold, to dispel the darkness.
Ah Hui was convinced, came over with a bloody knife, and said, "Boss Wang, you are really amazing, you are even more powerful than the wizard in our team." General Su likes to deal with mages the most, and you will definitely get more paid if you go back with us. ”
"That's all for later," I said, "and I'll finish the task at hand." ”
Protected by me and the Charm of Suppression, they slowly approached the spot where the cry had come from. The ship stopped. Don't look at it as daytime, it's still dark and messy, no different from midnight.
Ah Hui shone around with a flashlight, and there were corpses here, layer by layer, and it was impossible to see who was who.
I took a deep breath and told them to wait. I sat on the bow of the boat and collected the mana of the demon suppression talisman, after all, there is this thing, and it is not easy to communicate with the resentful spirits.
I closed my eyes and silently chanted the mantra that the Ghost King had taught me. This mantra can communicate with the spirits, and in this ghost place, it can be said that it is the land of the spirits, and it is actually very dangerous for me to recite this set of mantras.
But if you don't read this, you won't be able to find a specific corpse, it will definitely be with me.
I closed my eyes slightly, and as soon as I recited the mantra, I felt a pressure of black yin and yin rushing over my face. I didn't open my eyes, my whole body was like I was wrapped in a lot of things, the pressure was getting stronger and stronger, and I could barely breathe.
It was at this time that I heard a cry, not far away, not near, left and right. I recited the mantra while trying to communicate with the cry, telling it that I was here to find it, and that I could tell me any unresolved grievances.
The cry was a little quieter, but there was no sound to communicate with me, and I was wondering when I suddenly felt something approaching behind me.
Now I am in a very quiet state, I can't open my eyes and be distracted, I can only recite the mantra and experience it at the same time. The thing slowly approached, indescribably anything, extremely cold, and the temperature around it dropped a lot.
I know that it was probably the same sect leader at the time, and he had something to say to me.
The cool stuff slowly stuck to my back, and I chuckled inwardly, and in an instant, my body seemed to be frozen, and I couldn't relieve the feeling of suffocating even though I tried to breathe in.
Surrounded by deep darkness, the chill behind me was slowly spreading, and I became more and more suffocated, as if I had fallen into icy water, that is, for a moment, I seemed to have a long dream.
I dreamed that there was a fire riding around, and there were corpses everywhere, and there were several short Southeast Asians who were slowly walking forward with the corpse of a woman in their hands. Before I could take a closer look, a few people behind me pushed me forward, and I realized that I had been tied up.
Before I could react, someone grabbed my cheek tightly, pinched it hard, and then pulled my tongue out roughly. I seemed to have a premonition of something, struggling desperately, trying to shout out, but I was tied up and couldn't break free at all.
Suddenly, there was a stinging pain at the base of my tongue, and a sharp knife like a sickle passed under the base of my tongue, and the whole tongue seemed to be pulled out of my mouth. My whole body trembled, my legs went limp, and the tingling sensation hit my body.
My body suddenly tightened, the scythe was slowly rising, someone pulled the rope to pull it up, and my body became higher and higher with the scythe, my feet couldn't reach the ground, my hands were tied behind my back, and my body wanted to struggle, but I couldn't exert my strength.
The whole process lasted less than a minute, but it was like a century for me, and after a minute, I was plunged into darkness, and for a moment I had this thought, and finally I was relieved.
In the darkness, I knew in my heart that I had just experienced the entire death of that sect master. This pain, even if it is dead, follows closely and lingers.
