Chapter 32: The Three Wraiths
Mira tossed through the grass and saw in the cold moonlight that in the small pavilion at the mouth of the valley, two priests in red backgrounds and white robes were talking and laughing in a low voice. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Behind the info pavilion is a wide corridor that leads to the Yakuo Hall in the distance. Under the cover of night, the Medicine King Hall looked tall and majestic, and a little gloomy.
Mira had been watching the place for a long time, but had never found any obvious opportunity, and she was greatly admired by these two glittering priests, who were not going to be able to find such a dutiful person now. He settled down, and was about to move to the side, when suddenly a hand patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, you have been looking at it for so long, and you haven't decided yet?"
Mira's surprise was not trivial, and the whole person jumped up, and the priest in the pavilion immediately shouted at this side: "Over there, don't make such a big noise, it will be difficult for us to do it." A voice next to Mira immediately replied: "I know, I know, I'm sorry, there is a rookie here who doesn't understand the rules, I will teach him to reform and be a new person immediately." The priest muttered a few words, and then said nothing.
Mira looked at the man in black standing beside him in surprise, and he was followed by several people with different forms and expressions, all of whom looked at Mira with unkind expressions. The man in black saw that Mira didn't react, and urged impatiently: "How about it? Have you thought clearly? Pay the money quickly after thinking clearly, so many of us are waiting for you, it's a waste of time." ā
Mira hesitated and asked, "Pay what?"
"Tickets, you don't really want to get in, do you? I'll tell you, those two janitors aren't easy to mess with. However, they are all my friends, and I can bring you all in for ten gold coins per person. How's that a good deal, isn't it?"
Mira's mouth opened widely: "These people, all of them have paid money?"
The men all shouted, "Yes, we all handed in ten gold coins." "Brother, this is already the lowest price, and it is more than ten gold coins to dig a better herb in it." You can't buy ten gold coins and suffer a loss, and you can't buy ten gold coins to be fooled, don't hesitate any longer, hurry up and pay the money. "Damn, do you want to get in without spending money? Isn't that a serious crushing of our IQ? Beware of me beating you." ā
Seeing that Mira was still hesitant, the man in black hugged his shoulders affectionately and whispered: "Friend, I don't think you look like a foreigner, but I can't break the rules, can I? In this way, it is also ten gold coins, and I will send you another map of the interior of the Medicine King Palace, which marks the types of herbs that may be collected in various places at a time, which is definitely worth the price. ā
Mira took out ten gold coins in pain, and when she was about to give them to them, she asked again, "So, where can you find the golden dragon grass?"
"Golden Dragon Grass, I'll look for it. Er, there is nothing in this grass front hall, you have to go to the tunnel of the apse to pick it up, but there are real undead creatures over there, I think you still don't want to send them to death. ā
The blue-eyed tiger swaggered along the men through the pavilion at the mouth of the valley, throwing a money bag at the priest. The priest opened and counted, frowned, and said, "Why are there fewer and fewer?" The blue-eyed tiger scolded: "It's not because of that garbage city lord, now the city is deserted like a grave, who is still in the mood to come out and dig medicine?." So everyone scolded Kempinski again. ā
At the gate of the Medicine King Palace, the blue-eyed tiger clapped his hands and said: "Everyone listen to me quietly first, some people may have been here a few times, but there are also new rookies, I just want to say one sentence, don't enter those roads or buildings with danger signs." ā
Mira raised her hand and said, "Aren't you going in with us?"
"Of course, I'm just taking you here, and you'll have to walk the rest yourself. Remember, you haven't seen me, I haven't seen you, and if you're caught by the Holy See, I'm not going to admit anything. ā
As soon as they entered the Medicine King Palace, those people immediately parted ways with Mira, and looking at their mysterious appearance, it seemed that they were afraid that Mira would follow them to snatch their spoils. Mira had no interest in mingling with them, and only wandered around the hall.
The hall was empty, and the light leaking out of nowhere illuminated the tattered statue of the Medicine King in a particularly gloomy light, and something seemed to circulate in the air in the haze, causing Mira's cold hairs to stand on end one by one. He suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake, although he was not afraid of the undead, he was still afraid of ghosts.
Although there were no human figures on all sides, the sound of talking and the sound of medicine hoes digging into the ground could still be occasionally heard in the darkness, so Mira did not dare to summon the skeleton out, for fear that someone would kill him without saying a word. He walked carefully against the pillars and walls, and from time to time he looked back in alarm, and several of the men who were digging medicine in secluded places laughed softly when they saw his lewd appearance.
Mira heard their laughter, and was a little embarrassed, he tried to straighten his waist, but he unconsciously bent a little lower, and in the midst of fear and doubt, Mira seemed to hear a voice calling him. He settled his mind and moved forward in the direction from which the sound had come from.
Two people who were squatting in the corner of the wall to collect dendrobium orchids saw Mira's actions, and one of them tried to stop Mira, but was immediately stopped by his companion. The man said anxiously, "What are you doing? Didn't you see him go to the apse? That's a dead end." The companion replied, "What does that matter to us? There are only so many herbs that can be picked here, and it will take several days to grow another stubble, and we can harvest a little more if we have less people." ā
The man thought for a moment and said, "I seem to have heard that he came to find the Golden Dragon Grass, what if he went to the apse and really picked the Golden Dragon Grass?" Shall we follow and have a look?" The companion sneered, "Why follow him?"
Mira seemed to be stepping on the clouds, being dragged forward by an invisible hand, and the feeling of softness and airiness made him so comfortable that he almost didn't want to open his eyes. It seems that a long, long time ago, I had such an experience, floating in the sky, feeling the breath of the wind, the warmth of the light, the freedom of the clouds, and there was no need to be as scared as I was in the belly of the fish with Night Feather last time, and I cowered and hid behind Night Feather.
At the thought of Night Feather, Mira was startled, and the whole person immediately came to his senses, he suddenly opened his eyes, and found himself in a fighting room, and in the air in front of him, there were three resentful spirits floating.
Resentful spirits are different from ghosts, most of them were persecuted and abused to death, so not only do they have memories of their lives, but they have also been bearing the great pain of dying. However, Mira had seen a lot of wraiths during the Battle of the Ferry, so although she was still a little scared, at least it was much easier to accept than other ghost-like creatures.
A wraith with its neck broken into a line and its head hanging down on its chest circled around Mira and exclaimed, "This human has actually woken up." Another wraith with several large wooden nails nailed into his chest also said, "And it doesn't seem to be afraid of us." The last resentful spirit urn with no obvious scars on his body, but his mouth and nose were tightly muffled by strips of cloth, said angrily: "Don't panic, it's not that I haven't been brave enough to come here before, and it's not that we have cleaned it up." As long as we remain calm and calm, all reactionaries are paper tigers. ā
Looking at the three resentful spirits who were still arguing, Mira finally couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, who are you? No, what the hell?"
The guillotine shook his head around and said gloomily, "Since you know that we are ghosts, aren't you afraid?"
Mira summoned several undead with a groan, skeletons, zombies, and resentful spirits, and he said proudly, "What's so great about ghosts? ā
The three resentful spirits were obviously startled, and floated out far behind, and after a long time, the smothering ghost pointed to the resentful spirits in front of Mira and said, "Big brother, look at your size, you are not a local." ā
The wraith was stout, shackled and shackled, with a large wooden shackle on its head. He snorted disdainfully and said, "Turtle, I'm the vice chairman of the Ghost Sorrow Community Household Committee of Xingyue Villa in Diya City, the city hukou, can you call the eldest brother casually?"
The three resentful spirits praised one after another, and they all came forward to flatter, and the guy was actually very useful, and began to boast about himself, until Mira coughed impatiently, he hurriedly said: "This is the agent of our eldest sister's head in the human world, don't scare him." ā
Through the questioning of these three resentful spirits, Mira learned that when the incense of the Medicine King Hall was at its peak, it was really crowded, and suddenly one day the apse cracked a big hole, and many black knights rushed out of it, and killed people when they saw them. Many of those who did not escape were turned into undead by them, but although the methods of these black knights can only be described as brutal, they have little interest in the resentful spirits generated by torture and killing, and only take away the skeletons and zombies that are physically attacked.
After the initial panic and anger, the wraiths found that the Holy See had begun to enter the Medicine King's Hall. The Black Knights and their gang were naturally the main targets of the Holy See's purge, but their strength made the Holy See lose a lot of manpower, and in the end they had to use the apse as a place of trial, but the resentful spirits suffered a lot of fish in the pond and were wiped out. These three resentful spirits have managed to escape the previous encirclement and suppression, and now they can only survive by absorbing the spiritual energy of the living with some spiritual illusions.
"I'm going," Mira was startled, "what if I accidentally hit the Tao and you suck away the aura?"
"It's not going to be good, it's just that I don't have energy all day, and occasionally I show mental retardation and abnormal behavior, but as long as I eat a few more brain fragments, it will be fine. ā
