Before they came, they had never heard of the concept of the Soul Palace, and naturally they didn't know how powerful the Soul Palace was, but now that he had taken the initiative to mention the Soul Mist, Yue Qingshan had the opportunity to ask.

"Don't worry, don't worry, when it comes to this matter, the soul mist you are talking about is not small."

Tang Baoguan cleared his throat and introduced the origin of the soul mist to everyone.

After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the villagers changed from the tomb guards to the people, the original military ritual began to disappear, and gradually became the ancestor worship of the Tangling villagers, the villagers every day of the festival, the whole village will go out to carry the sacrifice into the Qinling Mountains, and after the sacrifice ceremony, the cave mountain is revealed, which is a little closer to the soul palace.

The thing that lingers in the tens of thousands of holes in the cave mountain is the soul mist, these soul mist are different from the ordinary mist, the ordinary mist is rich and white, moist and light, but these soul mist is mostly gray, like smoke burning out of the chimney, hazy and hazy in the cave mountain, so thick that it can't be dissolved at all.

I heard that there were 100,000 dead slaves around the Soul Palace, and these black fogs were condensed by the grievances of the slaves' souls, and only during worship could the soul fog be appeased, so that they could rest for a while and it would not work, and when the ancestor worship was over, the villagers needed to withdraw from the mountains and forests.

They had long known that Old Man Tang's eyes had become blind after being stained by the soul mist, but they didn't know that these soul mist had anything to do with the unjust souls, and they were even more shocked that the soul mist was actually alive and could slaughter the people, and everyone listened to the words of the old gentleman in front of them, and became even more curious about the soul palace, Song Siyuan asked: "I heard that it was the villagers who brought the tomb robbers into the soul palace and were slaughtered by the soul mist. ”

Tang Baoguan waved his hand, recalled the past and explained: "This statement is not right, no one can enter the Soul Palace, the villagers only enter the cave mountain outside the Soul Palace when they worship their ancestors, these tomb robbers bought the villagers, saying that there are herbs they need near the cave mountain, and when they enter the cave mountain, the villagers find out that they are the idea of beating the Soul Palace." ”

"At this time, it was too late, the tomb robbers tried to go deeper into the cave mountain to find the soul palace, and they didn't touch any gods, they accidentally activated the protection mechanism of the soul palace, and the soul mist was enraged, and they chased and killed the tomb robbers like crazy, and they turned into skeletons on the spot."

"Not long after they died, the soul mist began to surround the villagers, and they were all killed without exception, only when I used my physical strength to hide in the water while guarding the exit, I escaped by hiding in the water, and when the cave mountain and the soul mist disappeared, I came out of the water, and at this time I was already burned blind."

"Later, the Taoist priest on Yuji Mountain came to me and said that the direction where I was was angry and thought that there was some monster to haunt me, so I could only tell them the experience of the villagers in 1510, and let these Taoist priests take me back to the village, and barely pick up a life."

After listening to Old Man Tang's words, Song Siyuan already had a general understanding of the soul mist, she looked at everyone and guessed: "The soul mist attacks living creatures indiscriminately, bloodthirsty, and afraid of water at the same time, it is similar to the habits of insects, if this thing is really fog, it is absolutely impossible to kill so many people, in my opinion, it is likely to be some kind of physical insect swarm that can eat people." ”

Regarding her speculation, Old Man Tang obviously disagreed, and said with a dark look in his eyes: "Woman, the insect swarm is not a swarm, I was guarding the exit of the cave mountain at the time, can I not know what smoke is and what is flying insects?" It is indeed a nameless black mist, it is not a bloodthirsty flying insect at all, as long as someone inhales the black mist, their body will definitely rot and pus and finally die into blood, and when the blood is exhausted, it will become a white skeleton, which is very scary! ”

"What kind of worm can make people's flesh and blood drip down like a melting candle, and even the bones become brittle, and they will completely fall apart when they hold it, this is obviously a ghost in the mist, they only like to eat the flesh and skin of living people, so as to capture the soul and serve the Soul Palace!"

Old man Tang deliberately lowered his voice and said hoarsely: "When I entered the water, the soul mist had already arrived in front of me, old man, I saw with my own eyes that there were ghosts fluttering in the black mist, like skulls hovering around, smelling of blood, stinging and choking, forcing people to want to retreat and leave." ”

He paused, and his attitude hardened: "Anyway, that's what I know, since then I have never been out of the village, I have been making a living by telling fortunes and touching bones, I have also checked a lot of ancient books over the years, and I didn't find out what the soul mist is, I only heard the old man say that the soul palace is a passive evil law, and there are too many dead slaves before the soul mist will break out, and those vicious ghosts and monsters are all hidden in the mist, and they also harm people's lives in the mist. ”

"Mr. Tang, even if you don't talk about soul mist, how can the cave mountain appear after worship?"

Song Siyuan was very curious about this, it stands to reason that the cave mountain should also be the real mountain of the Qinling Mountains, how could it disappear out of thin air and appear out of thin air, it sounds too weird.

Old Man Tang's eyes were vigilant, and his face was mysterious: "I heard that the Cave Mountain and the Soul Palace are alive, and they easily do not show up, and they can only be seen after the memorial ceremony." ”
