In the darkroom, when I smashed the karmic stones with my own hands, what I thought in my mind was really the hundreds of innocent lives in the village?

Or rather, I rushed into the risk, I just didn't want to be looked down upon, to tell the truth, the moment I broke the karma stone, I actually had a high-minded look in my mind.

Maybe I broke that karma stone just to prove to Li Huaishan that I was decisive, maybe I just wanted to tell him that although I was also a rookie, I was at least better than him.

But deep down, I refused to admit that when I broke the karmic stone, my selfishness was far greater than my public heart.

To be honest, I don't know what I really thought at the time, I just know that even when I broke the karmic stones, I still didn't care about gains and losses.

I probably did something very noble, but when I did it, I wasn't sure if my heart was noble.

Maybe behind the nobility, it is extremely selfish as if I am selling fame and reputation, and in order to fulfill myself, I have to pull Li Huaishan into the water.

Maybe a lot of people in this industry are like me.

But what else can I do, no matter what I think in my heart, I have to continue to do what I need to do, and I have to continue to walk the way I need to go.

That's probably how people live.

I just looked at the sky, and remained extremely silent for a long time, until Li Huaishan reached out and patted me on the shoulder, and I turned my head and looked at him.

I saw Li Huaishan raise his chin at me and said to me, "The smoke is out." ”

I looked down and saw that the cigarette butt was indeed extinguished, so I took out the lighter again.

Li Huaishan leaned his shoulders on the battlement, tilted his head and asked me, "Hey, what do you want, so devoted?" ”

With a "pop", a flame rose on the lighter, I put the cigarette butt on the fire, took a long breath, and slowly spit out the smoke in my mouth: "Gai Dong and Kongyun Dao Chang said that I lack feelings about this world, so I want to try to feel it." ”

Li Huaishan frowned twice: "Feel something?" ”

I smiled and raised my chin at the sky where the yellow sand was flying.

Li Huaishan looked at the sky, turned his face again, looked at me with a puzzled expression, I spit out a puff of smoke, and didn't say anything more.

Li Huaishan didn't ask anything more.

Then there was a long silence, and Li Huaishan and I both leaned our heads on the stacks, looking at the sky that would be covered by yellow sand and become very quiet for a while, and neither of us said a word.

In the city, it is true that you will not see such a quiet sky.

As the clock drew closer to noon, the sun rose higher and higher, and then it moved completely above our heads, and the blinding sunlight made us no longer able to stare at the sky, so we could only lower our heads and hide our eyes in the shadows cast by the battlements.

Not long after this, Chen Dabang returned, and his footsteps appeared not far from the fort, and it could be heard that his steps were very messy, and one foot was heavy and the other was light, and he was obviously hurrying back with a very heavy thing on his back.

Li Huaishan and I were still smoking in silence, waiting for him to enter the fort.

Chen quickly entered the door of the fort, threw down the sack, raised a puff of dust on the ground, and then rushed into the east house like a rocket.

When the door was opened, I glanced into the room, and saw the widow Wang lying quietly on her dress, and when the door was closed, Chen Dabang disappeared from my sight.

I pricked up my ears and listened carefully to the movement in the house, but after a long time, there was no major movement in the room.

I was a little disappointed in my heart, I originally thought that Chen Dabang would wake up Widow Wang after he went in, so that although Widow Wang would not die immediately, she would at least be able to lose her mind.

After a while, the door of the east room was opened again, and Chen Dabang raised his face as soon as he went out, and his eyes fell on me and Li Huaishan.

I pouted helplessly and jumped off the earthen wall.

Chen Dabang's eyes were locked on me all the time, and when I was falling, his eyes kept following me, and he opened his mouth, as if to say something.

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, walked to the door of the fort, bent down and picked up the sack.

I ripped off the red thread, tore open the sack and looked at it, there were ten sets of remains in it, the thicker bones were all showing a touch of miserable white, and on the top of the skull and some thinner bones, it showed an iron-like blue-black.

I can't be wrong, the owners of these remains were all killed by the poisonous invasion of the body, and if I am not mistaken, they should all be killed by the terrible ghost who wants to go to the king's widow.

As I carefully examined the remains, Chen Dabang cautiously came to my side, and I squinted at him and asked, "That's all?" ”

Chen Dabang nodded: "That's all." ”

I pressed the mouth of the sack tightly with the ring finger and thumb of my right hand, straightened up and asked Chen Dabang, "I thought there would be such a day, right?" ”

Chen Dabang shrunk his neck sullenly and did not speak.

I couldn't help frowning: "Do you remember the names of these people?" ”

Chen nodded sullenly.

I said, "Do you know how to shout souls?" ”

Chen Dabang: "I'm ready for everything." ”

As soon as he said this, I was a little curious: "What did you prepare?" ”

Chen Dabang: "Yellow paper, sandalwood, and ...... Red line. ”

Looks like this guy knows more than I thought.

I shook my head: "People have been dead for too long, and they still need rice paper and lanterns, can they be put together before sunset today?" ”

As I spoke, Chen Dabang secretly glanced at the east room, and then said to me, "It will be done soon." ”

I waved my hand and let him go.

In this way, Chen Dabang, who had just rushed into the fort not long ago, left the fort in a hurry.

Li Huaishan hadn't spoken since he got off the wall, and it wasn't until Chen Dabang walked away that he came to me and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

I let out a long breath: "Don't ask, just take a good look." ”

Li Huaishan leaned over and looked at my face carefully: "Why do you feel that you have suddenly become serious, what's wrong?" ”、

I smiled a little helplessly: "I'm not serious, I'm at a bottom in my heart, alas, I don't know if tonight's thing can be done." ”

Li Huaishan frowned and asked me, "What are you going to do?" ”

I pointed to the sack: "Temper the undead." ”

Li Huaishan glared: "You still have this?" ”

I pouted: "I guess I can, but I haven't actually operated it, so I don't know if I can do it." Ergou, if I'm not mistaken, your life seems to be more yin. ”

Li Huaishan pondered for a while before saying, "It seems to be the case, I remember that the third master or the seventh master helped me figure it out, what's wrong?" ”

I raised my hand and pointed to the door of the house in the northwest of the castle courtyard: "Didn't I break a karmic stone, you go to the dark room to look for it, and find a relatively large fragment." ”

Li Huaishan was obviously reluctant to enter the darkroom again, he leaned towards me and asked me in a somewhat disgusted tone, "What are you going to do?" ”

I said, "Take a piece of karma stone and find a wide place outside the fort, and dig a square hole half a meter deep and half a meter wide there." ”

Li Huaishan: "Digging a hole? With crushed stone chips? You want to kill me! ”

I patted him on the shoulder: "Stop complaining, hurry up." ”

Li Huaishan stared at me suspiciously for a while, and finally didn't say any nonsense, and honestly went to the narrow gate.

I waited in the courtyard of the fort until Li Huaishan went out with a large stone piece, I climbed up the wall, put the Tongling Jade on my forehead, and condensed a breath of mental power in the upper dantian, and then squinted my eyes and carefully watched the situation on the side of the Dead Man's Slope.

At noon, the violent yang energy flows between heaven and earth, and at the same time, the purest yin energy of the day also suddenly emerges in heaven and earth at twelve o'clock at noon, and slowly grows and grows with the passage of time.

What I'm waiting for now is the pure yin energy that broke through the yang.

As the sun drew closer to the center of the sky, I squinted at the Dead Man's Slope to the west, not daring to blink even as my eyes became very dry.

At the moment when the sun finally reached the dome, a thick black gas suddenly burst out of the Dead Man's Slope.

When it first appeared, it looked like a huge black snake breaking through the earth from a distance, but after only a moment, the black qi began to spread around, like a black veil spreading, gradually covering the entire hillside, and as the spread area became larger and larger, it didn't take long for the black attached to the dirt slope to be unrecognizable.

I immediately took off the psychic jade on my forehead, quickly cast the fixation technique to bless the vision, and as soon as the vision of the great qi quicksand appeared, I quickly dispersed the spell, and then put the psychic jade on my forehead.

After a few rapid changes in my gaze, I could now make out the almost invisible black gas on the Dead Man's Slope, and as the black gas slowly spread, a small pinch of gray light smoke rose rapidly from it, and flew towards the village with a sudden gust of wind.

When the wisp of light smoke disappeared from my sight, the black gas on the Dead Man's Slope disappeared completely.

I put the Tongling Jade in my pocket, lit a cigarette, and looked up at the sun above my head.

At this moment, Li Huaishan's shouting suddenly came from under the wall: "Damn, you let me come out to dig a pit, and I went to the wall to smoke!" ”

When I looked down, I saw Li Huaishan standing under the battlement, and at his feet was a clearing without any vegetation.

I frowned and said to Li Huaishan, "I'm looking at Qi." ”

Li Huaishan rolled his eyes: "Pull it off, you can come down and dig a pit with me, such a big pit, I can't handle it myself." ”

I smiled at him: "If you can do it or not, you have to do it, you have already touched the karma stone, if you don't dig a pit before the sun sets, by tonight, ten unjust ghosts will come to talk to you." ”

Li Huaishan looked down at the gravel chip in his hand, was stunned for a moment, and then jumped to his feet in anger: "If you are not, I am X day X your uncle!" ”

I didn't scold back, but slowly raised my head, looked at the sun and said lightly: "In the past two days, it has been getting dark earlier and earlier." ”
