650 Assignment (1)
The location of this trip is a relatively remote small village.
Of course Yu Ling will not refuse, she has long wanted to get rid of this master. Although he also taught a lot of methods, including how to recognize the essence of things, she also admitted that she did learn a lot, but she couldn't adapt to the master's personality.
She also mentioned to Shi Niang that she wanted to practice alone with her, but Shi Niang was obviously unwilling to leave her master, although she didn't know what the reason was, but she wouldn't force it, to be honest, she also wanted to know the story between the two of them.
The life with Jidao made her more or less uncomfortable, but this kind of discomfort she couldn't say, just like instinct stimulated, it was indeed a very strange feeling.
She also wants to go to the outside world for a walk, and she thinks that she should have learned the wisdom taught to him by her master, and her strength has been roughly formed, and it is time to break through.
In addition to seeing the vastness of the world, Yu Ling's age has some emotional germination, and she also wants to meet her love and have a good life, which is what she thinks of this little girl now.
。。。。。。
The master said that he had hidden something in an old castle in the small village and told Yu Ling to fetch it, and if he did, he would allow her to go outside.
And at this moment, she is standing in front of this ancient castle.
This house looks more or less a hundred years old, from the appearance of it has not been inhabited for a long time, the vines have climbed its outer wall, the courtyard is also overgrown with weeds, can you still see one or two rats running past, a cold breath came out of it, Yu Ling felt a little cold, but still pushed the iron railing.
Squeak –
There was a sound that made the hairs stand up, Yu Ling trembled suddenly, this is the first time she has come to such an environment, and the things explained by the previous master have never asked her to go to any ancient castle.
But at this time, Yu Ling's eyes flickered, and he found some traces. This was all taught to her by Ji Dao, and she didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
It's clear that the weeds here have been trampled on, and someone must have been here in recent days. Yu Ling originally thought it was a master, but then he found traces in a completely different direction, and it was obvious that from the perspective of strength and pace, these traces belonged to two people.
"Did the master come with the master too?"
Yu Ling scratched her head, in her impression, the master and the master would never give exam questions together. They teach some knowledge separately, and they always assess it separately, is it because this is a graduation assessment?
Yu Ling didn't think much about it, just looked ahead. The gate of the castle in front of him opened a crack about two centimeters wide, and there seemed to be some faint light inside, and the cold wind blew out of that gap.
Whew-
At this time, a cool breeze hung up, blowing up the fallen leaves on the ground and shifting them, and the Yuling Man realized that he had not used his soul power to resist the cold, and a warmth came from his limbs, and that coolness was of course gone.
But a little girl in her early twenties, she can't help but be a little scared when she encounters such a scene, and although Yuling is lively and cheerful, she doesn't belong to the type that has a lot of courage.
She swallowed, then gently pushed the door.
Whew-
What greeted her was a deep corridor, but there were torches lit on both sides, and with the light, Yuling's hanging heart finally let go of a little, and the master still understood his own, at least gave himself a little light.
But just as she was relaxing a little, suddenly, a slight sound accompanied by a breeze came into her ears, and she was smart and took a sharp step back!
The voice was coming from within, from inside the hallway.
The doors on both sides were open, and after stopping action for three seconds, Yu Ling took another step, and at this time a drop of cold sweat had appeared on her forehead, this ancient castle should have been uninhabited for a hundred years, how could it make a sound?
Yu Ling glanced at the internal facilities of the doors on both sides, it was the ordinary living room, but because it had been uninhabited for too long, there were cobwebs, and the dust was also covered layer after layer.
Yu Ling still couldn't calm down, she didn't know this location before, so she also asked the villagers here about the information about this ancient castle, how do you know it's okay not to ask, as soon as she asked, she was scared of this action.
According to the villagers, this ancient castle has been abandoned for a hundred years, and it was built by a local gentry, so the specifications are different from the civilian houses next to it.
But this gentry is not as simple as it seems, the establishment of this ancient castle, and it was finally found that it was actually a "prison" he used to imprison the girl, but when the face of this gentry was discovered, in the basement, there were already more than a dozen corpses of the girl.
After that, the gentry were naturally put on trial, but such a "mansion" was indeed a strong attraction, some villagers lived in it, and the castle was large enough to worry about crowding.
But gradually, a terrible story came out. Several families have moved out of the castle because it is haunted! Legend has it that they would always hear intermittent cries coming from the basement while they slept, and some people would see people shaking in front of their doors in the middle of the night, and others would hear inexplicable footsteps, but when they turned their heads, there was nothing.
The "name" of this ancient castle is also gradually getting louder, and some people who do not believe in ghosts have moved in. But in the end, they were all evacuated, and over time, the castle was no longer inhabited, and it became abandoned.
The reason why this legend has been passed down for so long is because at that time, such ghostly things always made mortals feel fearful, and it was indeed quite influential.
Yu Ling also asked Qian Xuan about ghosts and gods, and Qian Xuan's explanation at the time was that some of the "ghosts" were actually the kind of "obsession" that people had before they died, although mortals could not cultivate, it did not mean that their consciousness did not have energy, if this obsession before death was extremely deep, then mortals might be able to temporarily cross the barrier of the cultivator, and the figure of that person might be preserved, similar to the monk's origin god.
In this way, some of the "ghosts" are actually monks' spirits, but if the gods do not have a body for a long time, they will naturally dissipate, so most of the ghosts of this type will disappear naturally.
There are also some ghosts that are said to be another kind of lifeform, and there are many strange things in the world, and this kind of ghost-like lifeform also exists.
But there are still some people who don't know what it is, in fact, the monks are mainly afraid of this kind of ghosts, but they don't know what it is.
Although I know the principle of possibility, it is impossible to say that Yuling is not afraid. It's human instinct to be afraid of the unknown, unless you're not human.
Yu Ling now also has some blame for why the master chose such a place, isn't this deliberately trying to scare himself, or is he just trying to let Yu Ling overcome the fear in his heart?
She stubbornly walked in, first inspecting every room. Then she went upstairs and continued to check, but she found no clues, and after twenty minutes, she had to stand at the entrance of the basement.
Scolded Ji Dao in her heart again, Yu Ling still cautiously went downstairs, I don't know why, as soon as she stepped on the stairs that went down, she felt that the surroundings seemed to cool down all of a sudden, she retracted her feet, and the chill disappeared.
"Psychological?"
Yu Ling comforted herself, and at the same time she told herself in her heart. I'm also a girl, and those who died unjustly shouldn't come to find me, so at this time, it's better to quickly find what the master left behind and get rid of him as soon as possible!
With a bang, Yu Ling looked at the rapidly changing environment around him, hurried downstairs, and stood on the bottom steps.
Here, too, there are torches, and it looks like the master has already come...
"No, isn't this nonsense?! ”
Yu Ling's head suddenly "fought" with herself, but she quickly straightened her mind and began to observe this place.
The more I observed, the more the strange place here made Yu Ling feel a chill, the basement, it should have been the dirtiest place, but here, some of the cleanliness is too much!
Especially the bed in front of her, the sheets looked like they had just been washed, there was not a single trace of dust on them, and it looked like someone was still asleep here.
The floor is also very clean, and Yuling can't see a single cobweb. Everything looks like there are still people living here!
Combined with the "horror legends" she had heard before, Yu Ling was indeed a little panicked, she was suddenly so frightened that she didn't dare to move, the dim firelight, the flames were shaking violently, as if they were going to be extinguished at any time.
Her heart was in her throat, and she completely forgot the reality that she was a monk. Suddenly, something seemed to flicker in front of Yu Ling's eyes, and she stiffened, but she still quickly turned around.
I saw that about five meters in front of her, a black-robed man appeared like a ghost, he turned his back to Yu Ling, a cold wind blew, Yu Ling immediately screamed out in fright, and then turned around and ran away, but after that, she only realized that there was also a black-robed man behind her.
Bang –
Yu Ling's eyes went dark and he was knocked unconscious.
The two black-robed men gathered together, looking at the person in front of them.
"Isn't this the girl we watched, and why did she come to us by herself?"
"Then since it was discovered by mistake, the plan should be carried out in advance... ”
