Chapter 33: The Book of the Two Deads 15
The manhole pond referred to by Qin Xuan is not a pool, but a special space.
In a flat area, the unusually strong yin qi that only appears in the middle of the night is condensed within a fixed range and flows in a ring according to a certain law, producing a strong yin qi circulation to form a pure yin space. It can contain countless ghosts, just like a black hole that makes it difficult to steal its capacity.
This space is neither above ground nor underground. That is, it is not in the region, but it is in the region, which is equivalent to what the scientific community calls dimensional space, distorting space.
And the entry point into the space appears randomly, even if the ghost wants to enter, he has to try his luck.
Living humans are unable to see anomalies outside of the area, and the compass's response is only slightly beating, which can only be felt and surveyed once inside the area. And it is difficult for living people to enter the space, like a pool of water that hides ingenuity. People can feel the vapor, but they can't find where it is.
There are not many legends about the manhole, one of which is about the corpse of one of the twelve ancestors of the ancients.
Since it has only a shell and no soul, it has developed a way to gather the souls of all beings to shape their own souls.
The sea is where it holds the souls and practices of all beings, and it ends in failure.
The second is about Daji and Shen Gongbao on the god list.
In order to deal with Jiang Ziya's magic circle, they built a Yao Pond. Cruelly threw thousands of people into the pool and dissolved into a piece of blood, and finally even the green bricks of Yao Chi were soaked into red bricks by blood, just to refine dozens of Thousand Soul Nails.
Neither of the two legendary locations can be found, but one can perceive that there is such a place.
After that, there is a space similar to the gathering of a huge number of souls, or the condensation of super yin qi, and the places that can be detected but are difficult to find are classified as manholes.
It stands to reason that there should not be such a place on flat terrain, but just like constipation, living an emperor-like life will still cause constipation.
Nature will always produce some elusive and difficult places, not to mention the human factor.
In ancient times, the battles that took place on the plains ranged from a hundred or so people to tens of thousands of deaths. If the corpse is abandoned, or left aside for enough time, these revenant spirits will gather here, making the yin energy in the area beyond the anomaly.
Then there are large-scale mass graves, which are common in the war years, which create conditions for the formation of manholes.
However, Qin Xuan is not 100% sure that the current situation is too complicated.
First, there was a Huiyang Bureau, then there was a ghostly situation, then there was an abnormality in the seven levels, and finally there was a strong yin airflow that could not be detected at all during the day and would only appear in the middle of the night.
She couldn't figure out what was wrong with this for a while, but what she was sure of was that she couldn't do it at night, otherwise her life would be in danger.
So she decided to mark the area first, and then come back after dawn to find out the cause and countermeasures.
After nearly an hour, the siblings circled the area.
On the map, it is a vertical oval, about 1,300 meters long and no more than 500 meters wide.
In the process of measuring, the brother and sister found that there was a point on each side of the ellipse with extremely heavy yin qi. Qin Xuan opened his eyes to observe and was surprised to find a strange phenomenon.
The point is like a vortex, which can inhale the flowing yin qi, and after turning it inside for more than a dozen turns, its density strength and speed are much stronger than before inhalation, and flow towards the other end of the ellipse.
The other point is also one in and one out, and a yin air flow circulation is created between the two points.
At this time, an image appeared in Qin Xuan's mind: a single-bearing range hood has two fans, and the bearing wants to rotate the other while turning one, and what is needed is a wheel belt. When two fans are running at the same time, the strong suction power will suck up the smoke cleanly, and the kitchen will not be full of smoke.
Qin Xuan couldn't figure out how she thought of it, she was confused by this place, and even began to wonder if she could solve the problem.
Thinking that Master Xu was well-informed, maybe he would know what was going on, so he told everyone to call it a day.
But as soon as he turned around, he noticed a slight sound of footsteps in the darkness.
"Who!" Qin Xuan shouted, and the flashlight shone over, but there was not even a ghost at the source of the sound.
However, the footsteps still existed, Jiang Jinjiu and Qin Zhaoyun heard it, and they all used flashlights to look for them, but no matter how fast the flashlight turned, they couldn't see anyone!
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and it felt like there were about twenty paces away, but the three of them still couldn't find anything.
Qin Zhaoyun was very unhappy, so he heard him snort coldly, took out a magnesium stick from his bag, and illuminated the surroundings with its extremely bright and dazzling light......
They were revealed, eight men. It came in eight directions and surrounded Jiang Jinjiu and the Qin brothers and sisters.
"Brother Li, why are you here?"
Jiang Jinjiu suddenly saw that Li Dazui was among these people, and he beckoned his hand and wanted to meet him, but he was pulled by Qin Xuan.
"Pig's head, don't you think it's abnormal?! Take a closer look at me. ”
Jiang Jinjiu looked at the voice, and saw Li Dazui walking left and right, his upper body and lower body moving together when he took steps, and his knees were not bent, as if his whole body was stiff. There was no expression on his face, his eyes were closed, his mouth was half-open, and saliva kept flowing down the corners of his mouth.
The others are also average, and they don't need Qin Xuan to explain that Jiang Jinjiu can also see that they are controlled by something.
Jiang Jinjiu saw that their movements were very slow, and he had no fear at all.
Retreating between the brothers and sisters, he pressed their shoulders and smiled, "It's up to you two for your hard work." ”
Jiang Jinjiu originally wanted to watch a good show, but Qin Xuan turned around and smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid we will die this time, we have been ambushed." ”
"Don't tease you! The two of you are very skilled, don't make fun of me. Jiang Jinjiu shook his shoulders and smiled, "I see you just want to scare me, don't think that my guts are always so small, now my guts are super fat." ”
"Hey! I don't have time to joke with you! Qin Xuan glanced at him, "This is not their nest at all, they can't see the enemy of us, so they lead us here, and use the aura of this land to improve their strength." ”
Qin Zhaoyun continued, "And this is their best hiding place, here we can't find their exact location at all, and we can't detect their movements. When we step here, they sneak into the village, and control the sleeping villagers to come here, and with the help of the strong yin energy of this place, they can completely control the villagers and exert their strongest power to attack us. They are quite accurate, and we will be afraid of the mercy of the villagers, to put it bluntly, we can only be beaten and cannot fight back. ”
"You think these eight people look like turtles now, wait a while to open your eyes, you die and you don't even have time to cry I told you." Qin Xuan said sadly, "While there is still time, you can leave a last word or something, the two of us are too busy to take care of ourselves, and we can't save your little life." ”
Jiang Jinjiu was made by Qin Xuan, and he was very panicked. "You...... Are you telling the truth? ”
Qin Xuan turned his head sideways sadly, and said in a choked voice, "My brother and I can deal with four at best, and now there are eight, how can you take care of you." ”
Jiang Jinjiu couldn't accept it, turned his head to look at Qin Zhaoyun, he shook his head and sighed, "It's true." ”
"I ...... I ......" Jiang Jinjiu raised for a while, and in less than a minute, beads of sweat the size of beans had already appeared on his forehead. He looked at Qin Xuan in despair and said, "What else can I do?" ”
Qin Xuan shook his hand with emotion and said, "Anyway, it's all a death, it's better for you to be glorious, lure them away and let us escape smoothly!" ”
"Good ......" Jiang Jin agreed with a wooden smile, walking in the same way as Li Dazui, slowly shaking his steps.
didn't take two steps, Qin Xuan suddenly sneered, "Come back to the pig's head, do you really think I will ask you to die." ”
"Ah......" Jiang Jinjiu's soul has not yet been recovered, and he has not reacted, but he is still stepping forward.
"Hahaha...... Pig head three, I'll tease you! Qin Xuan smiled and dragged back to Jiang Jinjiu, "If you are afraid of death, we will definitely not die with you, if you are not afraid, we are willing to fight once." ”
Jiang Jinjiu asked stupidly, "That...... Am I afraid of death? ”
"It's okay!" Qin Zhaoyun said with a smile, "Although it is a little cowardly, at least it is not likely to hold back, otherwise it is really a stone mill to catch the temple fair, and the burden is too heavy." ”
"How? Do you want to take a risk? Nine deaths! ”
Bang! Qin Xuan flicked the blade of his sword, and the soft chanting recalled Jiang Jinjiu's lost soul.
He looked at the stars flashing in Qin Xuan's eyes, and couldn't help but feel surging in his heart, raised his hands and shouted, "I'm afraid it's not a man!" ”
"Not bad, not bad! That, you take it. Qin Xuan took off the talisman jade around his neck and put it in Jiang Jinjiu's hand, "If something stops you, use it to cover it, don't think about anything in your heart, just rush forward." ”
"Come, mine is for you." Qin Zhaoyun also gave his talisman jade to Jiang Jinjiu.
"What about you?"
"Pig's head! We have a sword to be afraid of something. Qin Xuan knocked Jiang Jinjiu on the head, "Listen! After a while, when we shouted to run, you didn't care about anything, kept rushing forward, whoever stopped you would use jade block, rush forward, don't retreat, do you understand? ”
Qin Zhaoyun continued, "Their controlled range is not large, it is estimated that the effective distance is about four hundred meters, as long as we escape from this range, we will be out of danger." ”
"Ahh And also. Qin Xuan said with a straight face, "No matter what you hear, even if you hear me shouting for help, you can't turn back, that's an illusion, you just run, understand?" ”
Jiang Jinjiu nodded: "Then when will I be able to stop?" ”
"When you run into the village." Qin Zhaoyun said, "There's no time, prepare." ”
As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of powder from his bag and sprinkled it around, and then held his sword in both hands and was ready to charge at any time. Qin Xuan was the same, Jiang Jinjiu followed.
At this moment, the eight villagers were only about twenty paces away from the three of them, and they suddenly stopped moving, and the flesh on their faces shook very visibly, as if something was rolling under the flesh.
After a while, the shaking stopped, and their eyes suddenly opened, and they all glowed with a faint green light!
In an instant, the form of the eight people changed. One by one, the green tendons were stretched, their faces were hideous, their backs were bent and their legs were hunched, and they roared with their teeth and claws, and they looked like they were no longer humans, but beasts!
"Attention." The Qin brothers and sisters said in unison, their bodies lowered, like arrows about to leave the string.
Jiang Jinjiu was very nervous, afraid that the strength of his right foot would not be enough when he started, so he hurried to see if there was a dirt pit and dirt bag that could top his feet.
And at the moment when he turned his head, he found that there was a star at five o'clock, which could not be said far or near, and disappeared after a flash.
Immediately after that, the villagers took a step, landing on the ground with a sound but light movement. In the blink of an eye, the villagers were only ten steps away from Jiang Jinjiu and the Qin brothers and sisters, so fast that people couldn't see clearly.
Jiang Jinjiu heard a very close sound of stepping on the ground, and he couldn't allow him to think about what the firelight was.
