Chapter 240: There are probably ghosts

"We all knew that the forester must have been hiding something, and his men had apparently chased it here, but eventually gave up. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info So, why do you think they gave up?"

"Do you think there is any danger ahead?" asked Zhao Gongming.

"It's not necessarily dangerous, but it's always right to gather some intelligence. ”

At the suggestion of Tianyou, the three of them finally returned to the village they passed by on the way here.

Compared to Shanglin Town, this village is much smaller. However, the scale is also much larger than that of Qingyuan Village. The neutral zone is so dangerous, it is difficult for a single courtyard to survive, and it must be gathered up enough to protect itself.

The people in the village showed a certain degree of vigilance against the return of the three Tianyou, but they quickly disappeared under Tianyou's strong communication skills, and then successfully inquired about the location of the fork in the road.

"So, there's nothing but a mass grave there?"

"If there is anything, my old man doesn't dare to go over and look at it!" The old man, who was chatting with Tianyou, took a puff of dry tobacco and began to say again: "But to say that there is nothing but a deserted grave...... There must be those dirty things. ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

Of course, the dirty things that the old man said were not about hygiene, but specifically about demons and monsters, and mainly about those who were wronged and ghostly.

The people in the village all know the roots, and the horizontal and vertical are such a big place, and everyone else you know knows it, and no one listens to it if they want to gossip about something. There are a lot of people passing by, but the problem is that those people won't stop an old man chatting, right? So it's rare to meet such a good audience as Tianyou, and the old man doesn't throw off his arms and talk about a good time?

Moving his body forward slightly, the old man pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice and whispered: "Several of them are also knights who go south and north, and the situation in our neutral zone should also be clear." This murderous and overselling business can be seen everywhere. It's not good for this dead person to just be left on the road, ......isn't it? That place is where the nearby bandits and bandits dispose of the corpses. Therefore, this wealth must have been taken away, and the rest can only be a group of unjust ghosts. ”

"Have you seen any dirty things in there?" asked Tianyou.

This time, the old man shook his head. "Seeing the old man, how can I still have the life to set up a dragon gate formation with you here? But don't you don't believe the old man. I didn't see it with my own eyes, but that place was really evil. Before, there were refugees from ten countries who had just escaped, and they strayed into that territory, and as a result, there were more than 100 people, and one of them ran out in a daze, and he was still crazy. If there's nothing in that place, those people can't let the wild dogs bite it?"

"That dirty thing is so bad, aren't you afraid to live so close?"

"What if you're afraid? Will the whole village move together? Guarding this trade route can still make some money from passing merchants, and if you move elsewhere, you will really starve to death. Besides, we're not unprepared. The old man pointed in the direction of the entrance to the village. "Around our village, all the masters have set up prohibitions, and the idle demons and ghosts can't enter. ”

Tianyou nodded slightly. "When I entered the village, I saw it, it was those flagpole-like things, right?" The Taoist puppets disguised as colossias outside the gate of Zixiao Palace made him see through it at a glance, and this bit of kung fu outside the village really couldn't stop the eyes of Tianyou's spiritual vision.

When the old man heard this, he was immediately shocked. "The little brother is so young, it turns out that he is also a master. ”

Tianyou and the three of them all changed their clothes, so the old man didn't know that they came down from Zixiao Palace. There are really three disciples of Zixiao Palace wearing green clothes and long robes, and this crop man doesn't dare to come forward to talk to him, right? So Tianyou only said that the three of them were knights who were parading together, and did not tell their true identities.

Now that he heard that Tianyou still knows spells, the old man immediately looked at him differently. Those pure pit people on the earth can deceive a group of people to be offered to the gods, not to mention this Shenzhou Continent that really has a real need?

"In fact, the younger brother doesn't know much, so he has learned from the masters, but he doesn't become a climate. But let's talk about speculation, brother, I won't hide it from you. Eighty percent of you were deceived at the beginning. ”

"What? How did you say that? Why are we still being deceived? Little brother, you can say it quickly. ”

Panghai and Zhao Gongming were stunned when they listened to it, but it was not easy to interject, anyway, Tianyou had explained, everything was with him, they just had to bring their ears.

"Brother, you guys are really deceived. But the people who pit you still have some conscience. ”

"What's that?"

"You asked someone to stop this protective ban in order to keep those dirty things out of the door and not to enter the village, am I right?"

The old man nodded hurriedly. "yes. The master said that with his prohibition, there is no need to worry about dirty things running into the village. ”

Tianyou nodded and said, "So he still has some conscience." The twelve spirit piles that this person laid for you are not the same thing, but they really form a spirit mixing array, covering all the living qi of your village. ”

"What does that mean?"

"Let's put it this way. If you are a living person, you will be angry, and when there are many people, you will be popular. In the eyes of the demons and monsters, this popularity is like a bonfire in the dark night, which can be seen from afar, and you can't pay attention to it. But the master you have brought in has not helped you to build a wall against the fierceness, but has only covered the fire with a curtain. You get the idea, don't you?"

Tianyou said it so clearly, the old man couldn't figure it out. "Shaoxia is saying that those dirty things can't get in, but they can't see us, right?"

"It's not that you can't see it, but you can't see it from the outside, and if you go inside the curtain, you can see it. Moreover, the light blocking of this curtain is not really tight, close enough, you can still find the light in the curtain. ”

After hearing this, the old man felt that the hairs on his whole body stood up. The protective circle they thought they relied on turned out to be a blindfold thing, but they had lived under the protection of this kind of thing for so many years. But think about it from another angle, since this thing has ensured that everyone has not had any accidents for so many years, it is not really useless.

Just like God Bless said. As long as they don't get close, with this thing in their way, ordinary demons and monsters really can't find them. However, when he thought that the thing that separated him from the group of demons and monsters was such a layer of window paper, the old man couldn't help but shudder.

"Shaoxia, please help us think of a way!" Since Tianyou understands this, of course the old man will not let go of such an opportunity, and immediately began to beg.

Tianyou supported the old man who was about to kneel and kowtow, and helped him sit down first, and then comforted: "Brother don't worry. Since you Murakami have been safe and sound all these years, it means that this thing is not useless. As long as you are not unlucky enough to run into a lonely ghost wandering around, you can strayed into the village. ”

"What if it does?" asked the old man eagerly.

Tianyou laughed. "Then hurry up and run. I've just learned a little bit from the masters, and I can't even compare to the person who set up the formation, even if I want to help, I can't help it, right?"

This is really not God's modesty. How long had it been since they had just joined Zixiao Palace? Which of the other monks had not been able to practice for thirty or fifty years? He had only been three or five months, and no matter how good his talent was, he couldn't reach the heavens in one step. Besides, what Zixiao Palace is currently teaching is the foundation of some basics, and Tianyou can understand the Mixed Spirit Array because he is more diligent in flipping books, and secondly because of his spiritual talent. So although he can understand it, if he wants to modify or rearrange one, he really doesn't have that ability.

Because of Tianyou's joking tone in the end, the old man also reacted. First, this matter may not be as urgent as I thought before, and second, it seems that it is indeed inappropriate to ask for the help of the passer-by I met for the first time.

Tianyou told him that the magic circle outside the village was not an impregnable wall, and it was already a big favor in itself. If it weren't for the old man who helped provide a lot of information, and happened to be here, Tianyou wouldn't have told him so much.

After figuring out the general situation, Tianyou and the three of them left the village again and returned to the previous fork in the road, but Zhao Gongming and Panghai were a little weak-hearted. Their junior brothers and sisters were all miserable by the ghost village in the entrance assessment, and they still have shadows in their hearts.

"Why don't we go back and call Qian Ming?" Zhao Gongming suggested.

Da Dahai's reaction was good, but looking at the way he wanted to speak, he should still be a little worried.

Tianyou didn't persuade much, but analyzed: "This task only has a total of 80 points to contribute, and each of the four people can only get 20 points." In addition, there will be a two-day delay in returning to the mountain, and the risk of mission failure has increased significantly. Are you sure you're going to take the risk?"

Just made a lot of money on the task of exterminating the demon bees, and now the appetite of the two of them has been raised, to say that a task has only contributed 20 points after hard work, both of them are obviously a little unacceptable. After weighing it for a while, the two greedy guys finally relied on their desire to contribute points to overcome their fear, and they didn't say anything more, and went straight to the mass grave they had heard about earlier.

In fact, there are quite a few mass graves like this in the neutral zone. The Shenzhou continent is rich in natural resources, and there is no family planning, so why can't this population grow? Isn't it because the mortality rate is too high?

The more people who died, the more cemeteries there were. However, the management of tombs in the ten countries is quite good, and the larger towns have special burial areas, and there are also tomb keepers. In contrast, this mass grave is a major feature of the neutral zone.

Of course, there is a reason why the cemeteries within the Ten Nations are of high standard.

First, cremation is not popular in this Shenzhou continent, and it pays attention to entering the earth for peace. Therefore, the dead are buried directly.

The second is that the aura of this Divine Continent is a little too abundant.

As soon as this aura is abundant, it is easy to have an accident if you encounter some corpses that have not been cut off or unwilling souls who have died. It's okay to cheat a corpse, a haunt or something, that's all commonplace. It's better to have a small village like that, there aren't many dead people, yin qi is not easy to gather, and it's not so easy to turn into a corpse.

But small cities are fine, but big cities are not. There are too many people buried in the cemetery here, and if you don't pay attention to it, a large amount of yin evil qi will be gathered, and as soon as the concentration of this yin evil qi is high, the old ancestors who go underground will not be able to live.

In case the ancestor of the family suddenly crawls out of the tomb one night, someone has to deal with it, right? After all, no one wants to open the door in the morning and find that the old man in the family has come back to visit the door, right?

In this case, having a grave keeper is not a big problem. These people guarding the tomb are generally the kind of half-hung monks, for example, if the miscellaneous servants of Zixiao Palace quit, they will be very suitable for this job if they return to the territory of the Ten Kingdoms. They can regularly monitor the gathering of yin qi at each grave in the cemetery, and if they find something wrong, they can deal with it in advance, and they can release the yin qi first without waiting for the ancestors to climb out. And even if it does come out, it's fine. Zombies and new ghosts who have just gotten up actually don't have any skills, as long as they know the method and have a good heart, ordinary people can deal with it.

Therefore, the work of the grave keeper is not as exciting as imagined, and the haunting and haunting are small probability problems, and most of the time you just need to check and channel the yin qi. And the most important job of their gang is to drive away wild beasts and prevent scavengers from destroying carcasses.

The people in the Ten Kingdoms have the government to organize and arrange the cemetery, but there is no government in this neutral area, and it is difficult for the people themselves to hire someone to guard the cemetery, so in the end, this kind of mass graves everywhere was formed.

In fact, this kind of mass grave itself is very dangerous, because it is easy to breed yin spirits, and it has been unattended for a long time.

It is not that no one knows about this problem among the people in the neutral zone, but not many people know about it, and second, many people are blind enough to care about this long-term problem and let it develop freely. So this kind of seemingly ridiculous thing is actually not uncommon in the neutral zone. As long as you are willing to inquire, you will find that there are actually several ghost attacks on the village almost every year in the entire neutral zone, and almost every time there are heavy casualties. It's just that because of the lack of information due to inconvenient transportation, many people don't know it.

Regarding the mass grave, Tianyou actually has a guess, that is, there is a deliberate guidance from the forces of Xianmen. As for why...... Just think about the Corpse Soul Hall that Bai Bingyu took Tianyou to visit.

There are so many disciples in Zixiao Palace who raise zombies with skeletons, where did those bones come from? No one in the Divine Continent is engaged in body donation.

Just because he thought that the disciples of the Immortal Sect would have to deal with these ghosts sooner or later, Tianyou would insist on completing this task after knowing that eighty percent of them would hit ghosts in this mission. Of course, he is not a reckless person, and he has some control over the danger of the mission.

He asked so many questions in the village before, just to find out what the strength of the ghosts here is, and according to the information collected, even if there are ghosts here, the combat effectiveness should be very scummy. After all, this mass grave is so close to the village, and a figleaf-like chaos array can keep it safe for so long, and the only explanation is that the level of ghosts here is very low, otherwise it will never offend the nearby village. As for how to deal with ghosts......

At present, God bless them, their solution can only stay on "fighting".

Whether it is a skeleton or a zombie, it is an entity, and even ordinary martial arts practitioners can fight. As for the Yin Soul and the like, it is not a problem for God to bless them. Monks are different from ordinary people, they have aura protection, and they can directly touch the disembodied yin spirit, so even if they don't know any spells, they can hurt the yin soul with their fists and feet alone. Of course, the premise is that the ghosts in that mass grave are not too powerful. If you really meet the kind of people who have cultivated into ghosts and immortals, let alone them, ordinary immortals may not be easy to use when they come.
