Section 053 Soul Cave
The tide receded. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The claws of the two stone lions were clearly exposed.
I carried the girl up a dozen or so steps, and then collapsed from exhaustion, and I didn't even have the desire to move.
At this moment, there is also an illusory feeling like a dream.
"My mother said that once Qiqi breaks free, only the gluttony in this tower can deal with it." The girl said softly.
I was stunned and exclaimed, "Gluttony? This guy turned out to be an ancient beast glutton!
The girl nodded and sighed: "Tao Tao and Qi Qi are ghost beasts that can exist in the Yin and Yang worlds at the same time, and they may not be able to see one in five hundred years." It was very hard for my mother to raise them, but I didn't expect it to be ...... in the end."
"Mother? Girl, forgive me for talking too much, where were you from when you were alive? Why did your mother leave you alone in this ghost realm? ”
"I was born in this ghost realm. Until I was ten years old, my mother stayed with me until one day she went out and never came back. At this, her face was full of doubts and sadness.
I didn't expect her to be a ghost baby, and her background was so pitiful, so I felt sorry in my heart, and changed the topic: "What is this place, why are there so many statues and walking corpses?" Is it the mausoleum of an emperor or a Taoist master? ”
"No, I didn't tell you the truth. This is not a mausoleum, but a soul cave. ”
"What is the Soul Cave?"
The girl explained, "At the intersection of the underworld and the yang, there are many energy nodes. The cathode and anode energies at these nodes are not constant, but constantly wrestling and changing. The yin and yang energy of Longshan Village and Longshan Ghost Domain was originally balanced, but since someone built the Longshan Ghost Palace here, the yin qi flourished, destroying this balance. Once the balance is disrupted to a pole, the cathode energy breaks through the boundaries and enters and engulfs the yang. In order to avoid this situation, the Soul Suppression Cave appeared. ”
I asked, "This soul cave was built by your mother?" ”
"No, my mother is only in charge of guarding the soul suppressor here. This cave was built during the Southern Song Dynasty of the Yang Dynasty. At that time, there was no Longshan Ghost Palace, and the role of this cave was only to prevent trouble. ”
I said, "Why did the master of the Longshan Ghost Palace do this? ”
The girl shook her head and said, "I don't know." ”
I asked again, "Do you know the origin of the owner of the ghost palace?" ”
The girl muttered: "I heard my mother tell me that the Longshan Ghost Palace was built about a hundred years ago, and the location is in the area of Longshan Village in Yangshi. ”
I was stunned and said, "Why have I never seen such a hole in Longshan Village in Yangshi?" ”
"Then I don't know, I haven't left here since I was a child." The girl's voice paused, and she continued: "The person in charge of supervising the construction was the leader of the Zhejiang warlords at that time. ”
"Warlord leader? What is the use of him building ghost palaces? ”
"It is said that I listened to the words of a certain charlatan, thinking that once the ghost palace is built, he will be able to become the emperor."
I laughed dumbly and said, "The dignified warlord leader was deceived by a charlatan, and he is really greedy and devouring elephants. ”
"So after the ghost palace was built, the warlord leader died mysteriously, and now most of them are also in the ghost palace."
My heart moved, and I wondered if the ghost that Qiu Mingyue was afraid of would be the leader of this Zhejiang warlord?
However, I quickly dispelled this idea, because I had never met a warlord leader who practiced magic in my lifetime.
Since there is no spell, and he is an ordinary ghost after death, there is no reason for Qiu Mingyue to be so afraid.
After thinking about it, the warlock who fooled the warlord leader to create a ghost palace was very suspicious, and of course it was not ruled out that he was bribed.
I suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, where did your mother go?" She's a soul suppressor, so she won't leave without permission. And what about your father? ”
The girl said gloomily: "My father is also the soul suppressor here, and he died when he first gave birth to me in order to capture Qiqi. ”
"I see, I'm sorry. But why did he capture Poor Odd? ”
"The selection of people in the soul control cave is extremely strict, the rules are strict, and only the souls of a man and a woman in the past dynasties can become soul suppressors. If they give birth to a baby, they will be candidates for the next generation of soul suppressors. Our power is too thin, and once the ghost palace attacks, we can't resist it at all. He originally planned to capture more ghost beasts to fight against the ghost palace, but unexpectedly, in the process of capturing Qiqi, his soul was unfortunately scattered. ”
"Aren't there thousands of walking corpses in this cave? How can you be weak? ”
"Those walking corpses are not full of spirits, and they don't listen to anyone's orders. Far from being a helping hand, they are a time bomb planted around us. I don't know what the original builders thought. ”
Hearing this, I finally understood something, but I didn't expect that there was such a complicated background relationship behind Hu Yue's disappearance. Heng Zhi couldn't figure it out, so he simply stood up and asked with concern, "Is your injury better?" ”
"It's much better, it's out of the way." And as he spoke, he also stood up.
I rejoiced, "Then let's find a way out." ”
The girl shook her head and said, "Tao Tao and Qi Qi are already dead. I've closed all entrances and exits, the tower is safe, and I want to stay. ”
"But there are walking corpses outside, how can you be safe?"
"This is my home. When I left home, I had nothing. You say, can I be safe? ”
I'm speechless.
She smiled softly and said, "I know you're in a hurry to find your friend." You don't have to worry about me, I'll take care of myself. ”
"But your ...... hurt"
"My injuries don't get in the way, I'll be fine after a little rest."
I was really anxious to find Zhang Xiaofan, and when I saw that she was no longer in trouble, I said ruthlessly: "Then take care, I'll go first!" Before he could finish speaking, he turned and ran out.
"Wait!" Her shouts came from behind her.
I was overjoyed, and I stopped and looked back and said, "Do you want to come with me?" ”
She shook her head and said, "You're on the wrong track." ”
I was stunned and said, "Didn't you go back the same way?" ”
"It's occupied by the walking dead, and you can't get out." The girl pointed to the other side of the lake: "After crossing this lake, after going ashore and walking straight forward for five hundred steps, you can see a large circle that emits fluorescence. Standing inside the circle, you can go directly to the outside of the cave. ”
I was a little disappointed when I heard this, and asked after a while: "I'm sorry, I haven't known your name after being together for so long." ”
"My name is Hua Zhenzhen." She was generous.
I then asked, "If I want to see you one day, will I be able to find my way back?" ”
Hua Zhenzhen groaned slightly, then took off the bell on his wrist, handed it to me, and told me a spell: "As long as you recite this mantra and ring the bell eighteen times, you can find the hole again." ”
I silently memorized the mantra and left with a heart full of melancholy.
After swimming across the lake and going ashore, I continued to walk about 500 steps, and sure enough, I saw a fluorescent circle on the ground.
When I walked into the circle, my eyes suddenly darkened.
By the time my vision returned, I realized that I was outside the cave.
Holding the heavy bell in his hand, remembering everything in the cave, it was like having a big dream.
But this dream is too real, and I don't know if I can meet it again in this life.
