164. Peel off the cocoon

Bi said: "This involves a problem I told you, that is, the mastery of secrets, ordinary dead souls are like people in the yang land, they only know that they will have a death ending, but they can't get in touch with what will become after death, they will be afraid but have to accept the facts, after all, they are guided by the rules, but we who are in charge of the ghost seal are different." First of all, the first question is, what is the ghost mark, why we are born to hold the ghost mark, and why the ghost mark can drive away ghosts and spirits, we don't know, we only know that we are born to control the ghost mark, and can use it to deter ghosts and ghosts, so that they obey our orders. But it is this kind of control that makes us wonder, why us, what is the ghost mark? ”

I really haven't thought about this problem, I didn't expect that people also have troubled souls, just like Uncle said, what he wants to know most is where he will go after death, about this can represent the mood that Bi said, and I suspected that the instinct of death is more like a deliberate arrangement, because there is no point in living, once you know that death will become another form, life is just a skin, so who would want to live?

Bi went on to say, "So everybody is thinking about these questions. Gradually some people began to discover that the first Yin Land, that is, the Eighteen Tomb Towers in the Eighteen Tombs seemed to hide such secrets, so everyone began to go to the Eighteen Tombs Tower to explore the secrets, at the beginning, someone quietly entered, but after entering, they never came out, and then the ghost mark was inherited by others, and the ghost king who was the first to hold the ghost seal disappeared like this. So this became a big mystery again, some people began to explore the purpose of his disappearance, after generations of continuous exploration and accumulation, finally gathered some secrets of the Eighteen Tomb Towers, the most critical one is that the Eighteen Tombs Tower has a passage, which seems to lead to another place, that is, the place of twilight you are talking about, the end that can never be reached. ”

I can understand this, it's like we suddenly found a passage to the underworld. It is a reason to be eager to come in and see what the world of the dead is like.

Bi continued, "So the people of the three halls have different opinions, and the people of the upper three halls think that since we have found the door to the world of death, then we must go and find out. The people in the middle three halls thought that this was too risky, and might even lead to disaster, so they thought that this secret should be kept thoroughly, and the lower three halls and the upper three halls had the same idea. But they are more ambitious, they want to occupy that place in order to achieve the goal of never dying. So in such a competition, the three halls were in chaos, but they all forgot one thing, that is, who was behind this series of events that happened in the Eighteen Tombs Tower? By the time they realized the problem, the person in the dark had already set up the game, just waiting for them to get into the trap. The first to be used were the three people in the three halls, they believed in the people behind the scenes, so they became the introduction to the other two halls to enter the game, so the people behind the scenes relied on the infighting of the three halls, completely disintegrated the forces of the three halls, and at the same time collapsed the eighteen tomb towers, they relied on the internal strife between them, and with the help of the suppressive power of their respective ghost seals, they were all sealed. ”

Hearing Bi say this, although he did not elaborate on how this bureau was laid out, but judging from the development of the entire situation, the person behind the scenes can be said to have a good idea. In this way, the power of the three halls was dismantled, and the Eighteen Tombs Tower was completely destroyed, and this person was Xiao Mu.

Just hearing this, I had a question. He didn't mention Xue in Bi's description, and Xue didn't belong to the Three Palaces, so what role did he play in this matter?

I asked Bi this question, and Bi looked at me for a long time before giving me an answer, but it was this answer that surprised me a little, he said: "As far as I know, before this infighting began, Xue had already passed through the Eighteen Tombs Tower. It's time to go to the Land of Dusk. ”

I exclaimed, "He's gone to the land of twilight?" ”

Bi said: "At present, it seems that this is the case, and he has not been involved in the whole thing, and this time it has not appeared again until the collapse of the Eighteen Tombs, but. Not long ago, he suddenly appeared in the underworld, but it was strange that his soul was gone, and he even needed to use your soul to revive his body. ”

I heard Bi say, "So the body buried under the tree is just his skin buried here, and his soul is actually in the land of dusk, right?" ”

Bi looked at me word by word and said, "I suspect that he has returned to his body, and his physical body appears in both yin and yang, I only have one guess, that is, what he wants to tell you." ”

I listened to this sentence and was a little confused: "What do you want to tell me?" ”

I searched my head and couldn't find anything he was trying to hint at or tell me, so I looked at Bi suspiciously. But at this time, I heard another meaning, so I said with some surprise: "That means Xue is not dead, right?" ”

Bi said: "It depends on your definition of death, if you are talking from the perspective of a living person, then Xue is indeed dead." If you look at it from the point of view of the revenant, he is also dead. ”

I looked at Bi, and I already fully understood what he meant, so after thinking through this layer. I suddenly looked at Bi and said, "So what is the purpose of your stay here?" ”

He said: "It's just the last days of an old man who is obsessed with life and death." ”

I looked at him and said, "No." ”

Bi looked at me as if asking me why I said that, and I said, "You're waiting for someone, waiting for this person to give you an answer." ”

He asked, "Who?" ”

My eyes gradually sharpened. I said, "Me." ”

He asked me, "Why you?" ”

When he asked this sentence, I asked him a question: "Why was the Xiao family ancestral hall built in the Ghost King Temple in the middle three halls?" ”

He looked at me, but he didn't speak, but his eyes had become very sharp. I watched the change in his eyes, and finally said: "It is not so much that the Xiao family ancestral hall was built in the Ghost King Temple of the Middle Third Hall, but that the Ghost King Temple of the Middle Third Hall was built on top of the Xiao Family Ancestral Hall, and you are a very smart person." Because you know that the Xiao family ancestral hall may be hiding more important secrets. ”

Bi said: "It seems that you seem to have begun to have Xiao Mu's memory. ”

I shook my head and said, "This is just an inference I have made, just like you said, since Xiao Mu wants to deliberately erase his memory, then naturally he will leave no trace." Otherwise, you can't play tricks in front of me like this, don't you say? ”

Bi looked at me and finally said, "You should know that you and I are not opponents, and we will not be opponents." ”

I said, "But if you continue to be so greedy, you will." ”

Bi said: "In addition to Xue, you have already made enemies with everyone in the Three Palaces, and now you don't have Xiao Mu's ability, but you have Xiao Mu's enemies, haven't you thought about the consequences of making enemies on all sides?" ”

I ignored his threats. Instead, he asked him, "The person who just appeared on the coffin on the roof of the ancestral hall should be you, what are you looking for, or what have you already found?" ”

Bi said: "Then it depends on what you want to know. ”

He was so deep in the city that he couldn't say anything at all. I then completely changed the subject and said: "I came here in a dream, that is, you guided me right, just like you said, Xue only has the body in the underworld, and the other ghost kings have been sealed, only you are free, that is to say, only you retain your strength, then it is naturally easy for you to guide me here." ”

After speaking, I looked at the ghost seal held by the four-sided ghost king statue, and then looked at Bi and said: "This ghost mark is not Xue's, but yours, right, this is a trap itself, and I am standing in the middle of your trap now." ”

Bi said: "You have realized it. ”

I said: "You said that Xue Fang, who came in with me before, is actually the soul qi he left on me to guide me, then he said that this four-sided ghost king is like a magic circle, and you said that this is the middle third hall, and the middle third hall is now only you, so no one will lay such a magic circle here except you." ”
