Chapter 21: Night Walking
I didn't act immediately, but after waiting for about five minutes, I estimated that the man and the old man had already walked away, and then suddenly burst out of the soul power that had been suppressed, forcibly broke free from these ghosts, and got up from the bed one by one.
Although the time of being pressed on the bed was not long, there were still some effects, and I stood up suddenly, as if I had suddenly turned over in a deep sleep, and my limbs were cold.
Those ghosts that were bounced away instantly subconsciously came back at me, and how could I let them get their way? At that moment, he took out two talismans from the yellow cloth bag, and pasted them on the window and door with his backhand, sealing the retreat of these ghosts, and the next thing was just to close the door and beat the dog.
In the room, plus the one that entangled Brother Chengxin, there are a total of about 10 resentful souls, and I can do it with such a number, which is quite easy, but then I found a small problem, these ghosts are somewhat similar to those ghosts in the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts, that is, pure ghost bodies, but self-awareness is already very weak.
But the difference is that these ghosts don't want the ghosts in the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts to be slowly consumed by their self-consciousness, and then completely controlled by the city lord, but the ghosts here feel as if they have become ghosts, and their self-consciousness has become like this, or rather, I folded the rune paper with the ghosts in my hand into a triangle and put it in my backpack, but I was shocked by my own thoughts, and my eyes widened all of a sudden, and I couldn't wait to open the rune paper immediately, and release a ghost inside to study it, but the matter was urgent, I don't have time to do that!
My thought is that the souls of these ghosts are not complete at all, and the souls of the most critical minds are not here at all, they are remnants.
This state, why I am so moved, is because they remind me of Xiao Chengqian's eldest cousin, who followed my master to find Kunlun, and after we took him back, we carefully checked his condition, and found that the eldest cousin's condition was very miserable, and the whole person only had a soul, no soul!
Therefore, he can make any movement (the seven spirits correspond to the five senses and movements of people), and even have a perception of the outside world, but unfortunately without a soul, he has no ability to think and react to things at all! If it weren't for the fact that the body was still alive, he could be said to be in the form of a zombie! Only instinct remains
Isn't that similar to the remnants here?
"Seiichi, what are you thinking?" The speed at which I cleaned up these remnant souls was very fast, but it was less than two minutes, and Brother Chengxin did not have my advantage in dealing with these guys because he was a doctor, and only then did he completely wake up from the sequelae of the ghost press, but looking at me in a daze in the room, he couldn't help but ask.
"It's a bit complicated, and I don't know how to say it." I replied directly to Brother Chengxin, and at this time, Ruyue's voice sounded in the courtyard.
"Third brother, Brother Chengxin, are you all right?"
I hurriedly opened the door and saw that Ruyue had come out of her room, and was in the courtyard at the moment, walking towards us.
I already had an idea in my heart, and after letting Ruyue come in, I quickly said: "Something is wrong with the whole town, I suspect that many of the aborigines in the town know about the situation!" I'm going to go out, but don't follow me. β
"You're going alone?" Brother Chengxin was a little stunned.
"Yes, the goal is too big if the three of them go, and I vaguely feel that this matter is related to a major secret, although we haven't found Liu Weijun yet, but I think before that, we may also have a huge harvest! But as long as it is about secrets, it must be accompanied by danger, I go alone, and if I don't come back until 5 o'clock in the morning, when it is close to dawn, you will leave at once, and gather everyone to find help, you know? I spoke faster and faster, and at the same time glanced at the fog (yin qi) outside the window, I quickly took out the red rope from the cloth bag, and began to tie the knot on my body skillfully.
Knotting is one of my master's best techniques, and it can be said that several of the knots are the unique secret of our Lao Li lineage, just like this lock yang knot, which is used a lot, but it is the most magical! Many other veins, even the Daoists of the Great Vein lineage, must use a blue or higher talisman to achieve this effect.
Why is it magical? Because its function is equivalent to an 'invisibility charm', which means to be invisible in front of ghosts or zombies! Because it locks in the yang energy, in front of these beings, I am like a ghost, a wandering spirit!
"Chengyi"
"Three Brothers"
Hearing me say this, Brother Chengxin and Ruyue called me worried at the same time, after all, judging from my words, this time may be really dangerous, how can they not be worried?
"This matter is related to the whereabouts of the master, we can't be willful, everything is based on the overall situation, if we are caught in a net, people outside will not get the news, you know?" I was tying the knots faster and faster, and as the yang energy was locked, my body began to get cold, and I had to hurry.
"Well, just in case, I'll stay here with Ruyue now, waiting for you until 5 o'clock in the morning." Brother Chengxin gritted his teeth and quickly made a decision, after all, he is a man, and compared to women, he has to be more decisive and rational.
Ruyue still looked at me worriedly, I had already tied the knot at the moment, touched Ruyue's hair with my cold hand like when I was a child, and said, "It's okay, no matter how much danger we all come over together?" β
After saying that, I didn't dare to delay any longer, opened the door without looking back, rushed into the small courtyard, and also rushed into the vast night filled with fog!
ββββββββββββββββββ Dividing Linesβββββββββββββββββ
The courtyard is quiet, the fog makes the temperature here at least much lower than the inside of the house, just like the winter in Sichuan is so cold, in order not to affect the activity, I don't have many clothes on my body, and because of the yang is locked, after entering the courtyard, I feel even more cold.
I wanted to open the door and go out at once, but when I turned around, I saw that the door of the old man's main house was open, and I couldn't restrain the idea of going in and seeing, and when he left during the day, he told us not to enter the house, and I thought it was nothing, but after such a strange thing happened, I had to suspect that there might be a secret in this house!
Time does not allow me to hesitate, after all, the old man and they have already gone away, I can't follow them at all, I can only explore by myself, which will take time! In addition, if I lock the yang knot on my body for a long time, my body will also suffer endlessly due to the lack of yang energy, and even die, so I made a decision quickly.
I rushed into the old man's main house, because there was no light, it was dark, and there was also a rotten sour smell that came out because of the long time it had not been cleaned, and the fog blocked the moonlight, and I could not see anything, and I did not dare to turn on the light, so I could only feel the lighter, and illuminate the room.
The room finally lit up in the light of the lighter, but the first picture that caught my eye surprised me.
In the old man's room, there was something similar to a shrine, and in it was a half-human-sized skeleton, a black skeleton with blood stains on it!! This reminds me of Lin Jianguo, what he used to worship, but this is different from the old man's offering, because what he worships should be the bones of a monster, while the old man worships real human bones!
I was silent, then I looked around with a lighter and noticed that there were several other photos on the wall, one of which was a family photo, one was a husband and wife, and two were two photos of two children together.
I only know one person in the photo, that is the old man, it should be what he looked like when he was young, and the other people in the photo should be his family, the two children are two boys, I was surprised, obviously there are two sons, why do you say that you are a lonely old man? Could it be that all his family members died except himself?
I couldn't think of an answer, I wanted to explore the house carefully, but I found that there was no time to delay, and probably these were the only secrets worth studying, I was silent for a moment, turned around and was about to walk out of the house only to find two things thrown at random on the old sofa in the room, I thought about it for a moment, picked up one of the things, strode out of the house, and then opened the door and went out.
The thing I had in my hand was a black cloak, and if there was only one one, I would not have touched it, but when I found two of them, I wondered if it was the old man who used it so often that he would prepare some.
This kind of weird thing is definitely not used during the day, so I think of his behavior when he goes out in the middle of the night, so just in case, I just took one of them.
I looked up and found that the fog had filled the whole town, and the whole town was dark and dreary, but after going out, I could hear the sound of small fragments coming from afar, as if there were many footsteps rushing towards one place.
But the place where the old man lives is extraordinarily quiet, there are several families side by side, can it be said that they are all out?
There was no target to follow, but it didn't bother me, and after discovering the aura of the ghosts roaming the alley, I thought of a way to find a target for me to follow.
That's β open the eyes of the sky!
