Chapter 144: Soul Eater Bat
I asked worriedly, "What the hell is this Soul Eater Bat?" Daoist Ji Yuan said thoughtfully: "This thing is not originally a product of nature, but it is artificially refined, and it is a bit inaccurate to say that it is refined, it should be said that it is cultivated." This thing, which feeds on the soul, is the soul of all things in nature, but I don't know that it is due to the soul of man. I was taken aback and said, "There is such a powerful thing, isn't this thing invincible?" ”
The man in black interrupted me and said, "Don't interject, wait for Daoist Ji to finish." Ji Yuan said with a smile: "They don't have any ability on their own, have you forgotten the special surname of bats?" They can't see anything, they all use ultrasonic waves to see the way, aren't all radars invented using their principles? But they can see the soul. Ji Yuan looked at us with his inherently shrunken eyes.
Then he continued: "They don't suck the souls out of the bodies of people or animals, but eat the souls that are wandering outside, and you know why the train derailment happened there, right?" The accident itself is not important, the important thing is that there are dead people so that they have food. ”
The man in black said, "Are you saying that if that black sarcophagus is stored in them, someone opened the sarcophagus and caused this accident, meaning to feed these Soul Eater bats?" Ji Yuan sighed and said: "I don't know about this, maybe it was opened by the tomb robber, and it happened that there was another accident here." ”
I said with a serious face: "Impossible, absolutely impossible." The person who led me into the mausoleum was definitely familiar with the road, and it was definitely not the first time he had entered it, and he definitely had something to do with the accident with these Soul Eater bats. Ji Yuan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about these for now, do you know why these Soul Eater Bats are placed in the black sarcophagus of the demon?" ”
I said with some nonchasm: "Since they are just feeding on wandering souls, then there is nothing to be afraid of, besides, they are all artificially made, and they can also ensure that the next generation, generation after generation, is the Soul Eater Bat?" Ji Yuan shook his head and said: "This is the most terrifying thing about them, they are indeed artificially made, but they can indeed be passed down from generation to generation, it can be said that there is one more species in the world." ”
I sighed and said in surprise, "Can this be?" "If this thing can reproduce indefinitely, those people in this world are estimated to have just died, and before they have time to get on Huangquan Road, they are estimated to have been intercepted and eaten by these soul devouring bats, and today I am very glad that I didn't bring Anyang River to pounce, they are soul demons, there is no entity at all, they are completely powerful beings composed of souls, it can be said that these soul devouring bats are their nemesis.
I touched the cold sweat on my head and said, "It's nothing to the living, but it's a natural disaster to the dead." Ji Yuan sighed again and said, "Then you think that if they only have these abilities, they will be locked in that black sarcophagus, which is a sarcophagus for demons." I asked worriedly, "Is there a follow-up to this?" Can these things really become demons? ”
Ji Yuan said with a look of hatred: "Of course, if these things evolve and develop in the future, they will evolve into demons, real soul-devouring demons, this demon is not just eating those wandering souls, and the souls of living people are their biggest tonic." I wondered and said, "Who invented this thing?" It's too tm lacking in morality. ”
Ji Yuan said with a smile: "I once heard Dorjee say, you went to a gossip courtyard in the capital?" That yard is for the preservation of corpses, right? I nodded and said, "Yes, that seems to be a gossip sealing corpse array, it seems that Liu Bowen did it back then, and I don't know what it was for, does Daoist Ji know?" ”
Ji Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, but I know that these Soul Devouring Bats are from Liu Bowen's hands, and these things are the products he made." I said with a look of disbelief: "Damn, that old man who counts five hundred years after five hundred years, what is he doing with these things?" Ji Yuan looked at me with disdain and said: "Of course it's to help Zhu Yuanzhang fight for the world, do you think that with the strength of Zhu Yuanzhang back then, in China, where there were many heroes at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he could become the emperor?" Don't you need some indiscriminate tricks? ”
In fact, what Ji Yuan said was that Zhu Yuanzhang's strength was not outstanding at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, not to mention anything else, there was no way to compare with Chen Youliang, the rebel army in the south at that time. As soon as Daoist Ji said this, I can do it, after all, strength is the last word, no strength, of course, there will be some tricks that are indiscriminate, these are not surprising. If I don't use some indiscriminate tricks, I'm strange, I always thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was lucky, who knew that he would have to take this road behind him.
The winner is the king and the loser is the unchanging truth, history is originally written by the winner, and whoever wins can write as much as he wants. Of course, no one will write the next three indiscriminate tricks they have used into history, unless they really can't hide it, just like when Li Shimin killed his brother and younger brother in Dan Nian, the Tang Dynasty official record must be the rebellion of his brother and brother, and it is estimated that Ye Shi will definitely not think so. Fools believe those official statements, the purpose is to fight for power.
I asked a little eagerly, "What now?" The man in black said with a smile: "What else can I do, of course I will go down and see, there is a saying, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get a tiger." I shook my head helplessly and removed the stone that was pressing against the cave. Ji Yuan and the man in black were dumbfounded when they saw this action.
Ji Yuan patted me on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, can you still move this now?" Say goodbye to each other. I smiled disdainfully and said, "You haven't seen what my brother has suffered, and you have walked away from the ghost gate." I'll tell you about this later. The man in black laughed and said: "Don't endure hardships and hardships, you are a master, I said how can you hurt that person single-handedly, I didn't expect that to have so much strength now." ”
I shook my head and was about to go down, when I was stopped by the man in black and said, "This time I will go down first, and you will follow behind." Before I could speak, the man in black jumped down first, watching the man in black enter, I was moved again, I knew that he was protecting me in this way, I was afraid that there would be problems if I went in first, after all, there was another person below.
Ji Yuan also smiled and went in front of me again. I was the last one to go in. This time I came in and it was completely different from the first time, at least I had the bottom of my heart, I wasn't afraid, and at least I had companions. This time we came in, but we took professional tools, and the lighting tools are definitely bullish.
When I was on this ground with my feet, the man in black and Ji Yuan had already turned on the strong flashlight, and the tomb road was still made of blue bricks, the standard Ming Dynasty style, the tomb door of the tomb in this robbery cave was very close, and it was indeed far away from the tomb door of the entire mausoleum.
This robbery hole is also very particular, the original hit, deviated, hit on the top of the mechanism, down is dead, hit too tight, too tight from the tomb, it is not easy to get through, because the tomb around must be the hardest. We took our flashlights, looked at each other, and walked inside.
When I arrived at the tomb gate engraved with the dragon's head again, I felt a drum in my heart, whose mausoleum is this, is it the emperor's relatives or the demon? Could it be that this demon is still a relative of the emperor? I said, "It's this faucet, what do you think?" ”
They both shook their heads, and I sighed and said, "Looks like the only way to solve the puzzle is inside." "I was about to go in, but the man in black grabbed me and said, "Slow down, let's take a look first." I thought to myself, "I've been to this place before, and even if I didn't see anything at the time, this is the second time I've been here." There's nothing to be careful at this door. ”
The man in black took a strong flashlight and shone it inside and said, "Look. "Following the direction he illuminated, I found out that this tomb is not very large, in the innermost part of the entire tomb, there is indeed a black sarcophagus, there is no luster at all, it is not such a strong flashlight light, you can't see it at all, it can completely blend with the darkness."
On the walls of the surrounding burial chambers, there seemed to be some words written on them, which were too far away to be seen clearly. Not far from the sarcophagus, there was a person lying on his stomach, although it was far away, but I also knew, it was definitely the one last night, could it be that he died here? I whispered, "That person, I guess it's the same one last night." "Because I plugged that hole, it's hard to get open from the outside, let alone inside.
Thinking back to the situation here last night, the sound of "poof", I think it was from him falling down, and the pain when he spoke, although he disguised it, but the essence of the voice can still be heard, and besides, I am also a fortune teller, and this is the old profession of observing words and feelings.
When the man in black took the flashlight and shone it on the top of the tomb, it caused a wave of scratching, not us, but the tomb was densely packed with soul eater bats. When I looked at the dense crowd of Soul Eater bats, I was a little silly. Probably stimulated by the bright flashlight, all of the Soul Eater bats became uneasy, and some even flew towards us.
The man in black immediately turned off the flashlight, pulled us to the back of the tomb door and said, "See, it's terrible." "I'm also scared for a while, I came here last night, and I didn't find that there were so many at the time, maybe I didn't see it, if I saw it at the time, I said that I wouldn't go in again. Fortunately, I left last night, and if I hadn't left, I would have shed my skin even if I didn't die.
Ji Yuan smiled obscenely and said, "Brother Qin Ze, you are so lucky, you were able to come out safely last night." I snorted and said, "Master's luck has always been good, besides, aren't I still dead?" Can they eat my soul? Ji Yuan said: "You still have the curse of the Soul Sealing Pill on your body, and there is definitely no way for them to be souls, but there are so many, each bite of you is enough for you." ”
I didn't care about Ji Yuan, I turned my face and asked the man in black and said, "Senior He, that sarcophagus hasn't been opened, how can there be so many?" The man in black didn't speak, and Ji Yuan said with a smile: "You still don't understand?" These are the little guys on the outside, and the ones inside the black sarcophagus are the big guys, I'm afraid we're in trouble this time. ”
I scratched my head and said, "What are we going to do now, or we go up and kill that thief hole, and seal this place." The man in black said: "We can survive, others can still come in, sooner or later there will be problems, I think this time it is your luck, let you run into it, otherwise I don't know how many people will die in the future." ”
I thought to myself, "What kind of luck, I think it's bad luck to die." Any unfortunate thing can happen to me, and if I had a choice, I wouldn't do it. But now, I can only bite the bullet, no matter what is in the sarcophagus, I hope it is a corpse, not alive. ”
Before I could finish thinking about it, I heard the muffled sound of "bump~~bump~~bump", as if something was smashing stones. My heart began to sink, it couldn't be some sarcophagus that was going to come out. The man in black illuminated the tomb with a flashlight, only to see that the soul eater bats that were originally on the ceiling of the tomb all flew up silently, not in our direction, but all around the black sarcophagus, and there was no place to stay, they were stacked like arhats, and the people who watched it felt a chill in their hearts.
Ji Yuan sighed again and said, "It seems that the things inside that black sarcophagus are definitely still alive." It's going to take a lot of effort to clean it up. ”
