Chapter 388: Hell
Returning to the Yuan Dao, empathy, spirituality, Shaohua dreams back! Go to the past together! Gu Yixuan silently recited the mantra in his heart, and between the flipping palms of his hands, he was really angry, scorching the breath of the phoenix, and forcing towards the charm!
The ghost was afraid of fire, not to mention that the fire of the phoenix immortal was not an ordinary flame, and before there was still a trace of distance, the ghost immediately curled up in a ball and fled in the opposite direction of Gu Yixuan. But how could Gu Yixuan allow it to run away so easily!
The golden light of the lotus array appeared, encircling the charm! As it scurried and screamed in the array, it could not shake the lotus array in the slightest!
"Xuan Mingjun, next, I'll leave it to you. Gu Yixuan looked back at Xuan Mingjun with a reassuring smile, and then his body fell in her direction!
Fortunately, Xuan Mingjun had already prepared, otherwise the weight of a man, even if Xuanming Jun's cultivation was profound, it would be overwhelming to suddenly fall.
Gu Yixuan's soul suddenly pierced into the formation, facing the charm! Feeling the current soul, the charm rushed towards Gu Yixuan like a madman! As if he was about to tear it apart!
I saw Gu Yixuan's soul drifting back gently, and it happened that it landed on the edge of the phoenix fire, even though the charm was extremely eager to pounce, but when he encountered the phoenix fire, he could only stop immediately and look at Gu Yixuan.
The technique of empathy that Fang Cai had just cast gradually took effect. In the lotus array, the Dao Dao array seals glowed together, bringing Gu Yixuan and the charm into another world.
That world is the most primitive source of resentment in the demonic body. Under the effect of the formation, the charm gradually disintegrated. The black qi that gathered into a cloud drifted out one by one, surrounding Gu Yixuan.
"What kind of spell is this Gu boy?" Banxia patted Gu Yixuan's fainted face, but there was no response. He was taken to his hand and carefully diagnosed, and there was nothing abnormal in his body.
"The art of soul elicitation and empathy. Xuan Mingjun looked down at Gu Yixuan's face with his eyes closed, and muttered in a low voice.
Banxia scratched his head, in the past ten years, he had heard a lot of techniques, but this soul-attracting empathy was the first time he had heard of it. couldn't help but be a little curious, so he looked up at Xuan Mingjun, wanting to hear how she explained next.
Xuan Mingjun sighed lightly and hugged Gu Yixuan tighter. His eyes looked at the situation in the lotus array, and he explained: "The technique of soul attraction and empathy is a technique created by the Void Dust Palace. Its original purpose was to solve the problems caused by evil spirits. As the saying goes, everything has a cause, and if you want to solve the problem, it is to trace the root cause to solve the problem. At that time, the Void Dust Palace, because there were many people with advanced cultivation in the palace, there were many ghosts and demons who would come to the Void Dust Palace to help. Over time, the seniors in the Void Dust Palace became familiar with dealing with ghosts and monsters. From their experience, in order to subdue the ghosts who cause chaos, it is necessary to first trace the source of the chaos. The fastest way is to use one's own soul to empathize with the ghost, so that we can know the memory of the ghost before death and find the cause of its trouble. And what Gu Yixuan did just now was just as Xuan Mingjun said.
The Banxia couple and Ah Wu, who understood the situation, were all surprised. Empathy with ghosts is unheard of. When it comes to dealing with ghosts, ordinary people are based on suppression and annihilation, but they never think to empathize with them.
Ghosts and monsters are chaotic, and ghosts are rampant. Empathy with ghosts is too hard to imagine. What if a ghost suddenly goes berserk and tears a person's soul to pieces?
The living soul is no better than the ghost, and can absorb the essence of heaven and earth endlessly. Due to the control of the physical body, the living soul may be attracted back to the body before it comes into contact with the spirit. And at this time, it should be extremely dangerous. Because the soul enters the body, it will more or less carry the qi of those resentful spirits, and this resentment will be brought back to the body through the living soul, which will inevitably be tossed and painful.
"In this way, this empathy, in the end, it is still the caster who is tormented, isn't it?" Hearing this, Banxia's heart became anxious, and he hurriedly looked up at the state of Gu Yixuan's soul in the lotus array at this time.
When Gu Yixuan slowly woke up from his dream, he was lying on top of a cold floor tile. Surrounded by hungry and skinny people. He looked left and right, and in front of him he was in a secret room, everyone was depressed, and the woman and the child couldn't bear the unpleasant smell in the secret room, and they were about to go out with the child in their arms. However, the door was blocked, and I couldn't get out at all!
Gu Yixuan tried to raise his head to talk to them, and after he spoke, he found that this person's tongue was already empty. He tried to speak, but he couldn't say a word, and his limbs were spread on the ground, lifeless.
"Hey, what are we going to do if we keep it closed like this?" a person next to him muttered softly, drawing patterns on the ground with his hands.
"Yes, this year's harvest has fallen sharply, for the sake of livelihood, we finally gathered together, and together we told the county magistrate about the difficulty, just to ask for a little help, but I didn't expect that the magistrate turned a deaf ear, and made arrangements to them at will. "Now a group of them have been locked up in this dark and damp secret room for a long time, but no one cares.
On the wall, people have begun to scrape the inside of the stone wall with sharp nails. The voice was tooth-aching.
"I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry!" was already in the crowd, and the sound was terrifying.
There was one person to lead, and soon one person became a point, and two people formed a line, even though the sound of complaining and wailing was coaxing!
These people, dressed in rags and smelling badly, seem to have been trapped here for a long time.
The door was knocked on by dozens of people, but no matter how much they tossed it, it still stood there.
Some of the more timid children and women were so frightened that they could not speak, and could only hide and tremble.
Some children couldn't help but cry out loud. The mother hurriedly stepped forward, wiped away the child's tears with her slender hand, and held the child tightly and cowered beside her.
Suddenly, the door opened, and two people walked in the door with extremely arrogant expressions, and those two were the guards who were hiding beside him.
Fang hid himself into the room, the pungent smell made him look disgusted and disdainful, and then walked back, pushing the guard forward first.
The guards were forcibly pushed onto the shelves, standing in front of dozens of people, seeing those who were dying, their hearts were full of difficulty, and they didn't know how to speak. Turned his head to look at Fang Mask, waiting for his order, but saw Fang Mask's eyes wide, and glared at the guard fiercely: "Hurry up, don't grind, time can't be delayed!"
"My lord, are you going to distribute relief food for us?" Seeing Fang Cover coming, an old man got up tremblingly and stepped forward, followed by a group of young men, all skinny as wood, staring at Fang Cover's eyes, full of expectation.
Fang Cover snorted coldly, clapped his hands, and saw the attendants behind him push in some rancid swill buckets.
The smell in this room was already extremely unpleasant, and now it was mixed with the rancid smell of swill, which made me want to vomit.
The crowd in the room looked at the buckets of swill in amazement, and opened their mouths in disbelief: "Your Excellency, you, are you joking with us?"
"My lord, how can this be something for people to eat?!" the young men were already suffering from hunger and impatience. I had hoped that Fang Muse would be able to save them from fire and water, but I didn't want him to use swill to send them away!
Fang Cover sneered: "It's not eaten by people?, then you answer this official, what is eaten by people?!"
The man was silent when asked, and Fang Mo continued: "You tell this official, how much is your harvest this year?"
No one answered. Gu Yixuan lay on the ground, quietly waiting for the voice of others.
"My lord, this year has been a drought for a long time, there is no rain to moisten, and there is no harvest. The voice of the old man rose again, Gu Yixuan thought about it a little in combination with the matter of Fang Cai, and only then did he have a general understanding of the current situation, it turned out that the harvest was fruitless because of natural disasters, and it was because the people wanted to ask the government for help. However, looking at this situation, Fang Cover has no intention of helping.
"Heh, you also know, there is no harvest this year, right?! Since there is no harvest, what will the official give you for disaster relief?!"
"It's... Your Excellency, you are using strong words! "How can the grain for disaster relief be calculated in such a way?!" Shouldn't the imperial court allocate funds to release grain?!
Gu Yixuan carefully recalled that a few years ago, when he was coracting with Qi Musheng, the letter vaguely mentioned that a place was caused by a famine due to drought. The emperor was extremely concerned at that time, and specially allocated a huge amount of money to be used for disaster relief.
At that time, Qi Musheng once joked with him that even he was a little moved by the disaster relief money.
Now that I think about it, that amount must have been almost cut between the layers of threads. Fang Mask must also be involved.
The money for disaster relief is gone, and Fang Wei naturally will not take the initiative to make up for this shortfall out of his pocket. It happened that the people came to the government office for help, and in order to prevent them from making a fuss, Fang covered up and asked all the people gathered in the government to be imprisoned here.
They have been held here for days, and it is not a good idea to drag them out like this. Considering this, Fang Mo brought people here to remove these hidden dangers.
The guards were already ready outside, waiting for Fang Cover's orders.
"Dog officer, don't deceive people too much!" An angry man strode forward, pointed at Fang Cover and scolded: "Don't think we are all fools! This year's drought is so serious, is there no news from the imperial court?! I think it's you, a dog official, who embezzled two taels of disaster relief silver! Now he can't come up with anything for disaster relief, so he uses this pig food to prevaricate!" The man's words also drove the rest of the people to be angry, and they followed him to open their mouths and scold Fang Cover!
"You people know what to do!" the guards stood in front of Fang Mask, pushing and shoving the people.
The people who were pushed were unwilling and resentful, and when they rushed up, they punched the guards in the face! The violent emotions continued to spread and stimulated, and the conflict between the trapped man and the official was about to break out!
When the children saw this, they were so frightened that they cried. The women hid in the corner with the children in their arms, their hearts uneasy, coaxing the children, and weeping with their faces.
Fang Wei was startled by the rioting crowd, he didn't expect that they would still have so much strength after starving them for several days! The swill bucket had been knocked to the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of rot, which was disgusting.
Fang Shu looked at this terrible environment and hurriedly retreated: "The people are rioting! Give me the trouble!
The guards received the order and rushed forward with their weapons. Even though the unarmed people are furious, they have no power to fight back when faced with the forced suppression of the officials!
After the guards had seriously wounded several of the main rioters, the followers gradually subsided.
Seeing that the chaos had subsided, Fang Shu pulled his shirt and glared at the group of people with fierce eyes: "Go! Lock this place up for me! Don't let these people go out and make trouble for me! Don't want to eat pig food? Okay! Then don't eat anything!"
After the words fell, Fang Cover took the guards out of the secret room, and then secretly arranged the guards outside the stone gate to take turns to guard!
Fang was gone, and the hopes of the people were completely shattered. The crowd that had just rioted sat on the ground, looking ahead with no love.
"Now, how's that okay?" asked one of them softly, but no one answered for a long time, and no one knew what to do.
In this secret room, there is no food and no water. In a few more days, they will starve to death!
There was a deathly silence all of a sudden. After a few more days, the first to react were the elderly and children.
When a woman woke up, she suddenly found that the child in her hand was not breathing, and immediately screamed in panic.
I saw that the child was already skinny, and his curled body was dead white, and he was really lifeless.
When people looked at him, their first reaction was not to mourn, their eyes were flashing with the excitement of predation, and the women who watched were very frightened.
She had seen this look countless times, and this was exactly the look on her husband's face when he was hungry when he returned from hunting.
"Are you crazy?!" the woman held the child's body tightly in her arms and shrunk back.
"This is a man! This is a man!" But the people, who had long since lost their minds from hunger, could still listen to her, snatched the child from her hand, and tore the child to pieces in front of her, and tore the flesh of the child with blood, like the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, and ate it heartily! Soon, the child's body was devoured, and the woman sat on the ground as if she had lost her soul, her eyes staring unfocused, and she was terrified.
Bang! The body of an old man suddenly fell to the ground, and that person was the elderly man who was talking to Fang Mu. He was already in the age of the broken candle, and he didn't live long, and now he was locked up in this dark dungeon, and after so many days of hunger and panic, he naturally couldn't hold it anymore, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he fell to the ground.
The man who had just eaten the child immediately gathered around him, and there was another tearing of flesh and blood, and in the blink of an eye, only a bloodshot skeleton remained.
The entire secret room was filled with an air of terror and blood. But if anyone can't support it and falls, it will be divided and eaten by the rest of the people, and only a white skeleton remains.
Gu Yixuan was parasitic to the man who collapsed on the ground, and naturally he couldn't escape the fate of being eaten.
This secret room instantly turned into a Shura hell, and the sea of blood was long!
