Chapter 5: A Thousand Ghosts Gather at Night

Of course, Fan Wu and Liu Xing didn't really go to bed to chat, and after the ghost left, the two returned to the house and just nested on the sofa and talked about love.

Because there was no pressure from the soul bell, the two chatted until dawn, and the most talked about in addition to love words was what Liu Xing heard and saw after his death.

At this stage, Fan Wu is very much in need of this knowledge, but it's a pity that Liu Xing is just an ordinary ghost.

Although he has been dead for a year, his knowledge and the communication of some ghost friends are only limited to a small area, but for Fan Wu, a novice in the ghost world, he has already gained a lot of knowledge.

According to Liu Xing, the underworld is a huge world similar to the human world, which is divided into different regions in the southeast, south, northwest, and northwest, and is divided into different races in different countries.

The difference is that the entire underworld is dominated by black and gray tones, in addition to ghosts, there are a large number of yin beasts, the entire Chinese ghost world, social and humanistic similar to the style of China's Tang and Song dynasties, jointly managed by the ten halls of the underworld, and the highest authority is the eighteen layers of hell.

But this is only heard of and heard, and it is not known whether this is the case.

At least the place where Liu Xing lived after his death was almost like this, but with an ordinary ghost, including most of the ghosts he knew around Liu Xing, he had no chance to leave the settlement too far to see the customs of other places, and even the lowest ghosts in his usual life did not often need to deal with it, let alone contact with the upper authorities of those prefectures, so he could only have a general impression of the underworld by hearsay.

In addition to the description of the underworld, Fan Wu also learned a lot of common sense about being a ghost from Liu Xing's mouth, including the biggest benefit that Fan Wu can now use about the first seven days after death.

The first seven days refer to the seventh day after a person's death. Folklore has it that this is the day when the ghost returns home after death to finish the unfinished business and say goodbye to the family.

After Liu Xing communicated with the other ghosts, he realized that these seven days were the best time to shape the soul body.

Under normal circumstances, the first seven days after a person dies as a ghost is the best time for the soul body to merge with the yin qi, because when the person just dies, it has not been completely transformed into the yin and yin body, and there is still a small amount of yang energy left in the body, and the fusion of yin and yang is definitely much faster than simply absorbing yin qi.

Therefore, if a person can have enough yin qi absorption in the first seven days after death, it will be of great benefit to the shaping of the soul body, and the setting of raising corpses or evil ghosts by burying the yin cave in film and television works comes from this.

Unfortunately, too many ghosts don't even know the importance of these days, or they waste these seven days in a state of sadness or anger.

However, if no one instructs them, most of the newly dead ghosts will not gain much even if they know about this benefit.

According to the degree of development of the natural world in modern society, there are not many places to find a place with heavy yin qi, let alone a place where yin qi is born to yin.

Fan Wu is also experiencing the same problem now, although he knows the importance of the first seven days, he can't think of any place in the city where there is a place of the most yin.

I don't want to go to places with heavy yin energy, such as morgues and morgues, mainly because according to Liu Xing, many old ghosts and evil ghosts who are stranded in the world usually stay in this kind of place to absorb yin qi and hunt new ghosts.

Another point is that Fan Wu has just died after all, and his thinking is still very affected by ghost film and television dramas, and he has a natural fear of going to these places.

Although Liu Xing doesn't have much fear of ghosts, girls naturally don't like these places, and they don't know if Xie Ba'an has successfully helped Liu Xing do the record, so they don't dare to risk letting her go outside in a short time.

After thinking about it, based on two factors, it was finally decided that I could only go to the cemetery.

First, the cemetery is a land with a lord, and there are basically no foreign evil spirits.

The second is that Fan Wu can't risk clashes with any old ghost, otherwise a newly dead little ghost may be destroyed at any time.

Fan Wu remembered that there was an old cemetery 10 kilometers east of Duancheng, although there were not many cemeteries, but because it was built early, it was estimated that the yin qi would not be bad, so he decided to leave, kissed Liu Xing goodbye, and Fan Wu flew out of the balcony directly.

Flying is the instinct of ghosts, just like animals are born to walk, but how to fly steadily and fast requires diligent practice.

Fan Wu, who had just come out, flew crookedly, moving sideways for a while, and floating backwards for 10 minutes before he could leave the community.

Liu Xing, who was standing on the balcony, couldn't hold back his laughter, and was afraid that it would affect Fan Wu's self-esteem, so he forcibly endured it, and when he was about to reach the limit of patience, Fan Wu finally found a balance point and flew away slowly.

Fan Wu, who got the hang of it, flew faster and faster, from the speed equivalent to walking at the beginning to the speed of running, and after flying out of two or three kilometers, it was already equivalent to the speed of pedaling a bicycle.

It took about 1 hour to come to the oldest Luofoo Cemetery in Pental, and I used to drive through it and felt that although it was remote, it was also a beautiful place. Now that the ghost eyes look at it again, it is desolate, gloomy, and quite scary.

Psychologically, it felt scary, but after getting closer, Fan Wu's body felt a burst of comfort, just like the feeling of relaxing the pores of the whole body and breathing negative ions in the primeval forest in the middle of summer.

Fan Wu gulped in the yin qi here, and unconsciously walked into the cemetery.

The yin qi inside was thicker, and the further towards the center the yin qi became, Fan Wu knew that he had come to the right place, and he didn't see any other ghosts, so he simply flew all the way to the center of the cemetery.

Come to the center and see it, no wonder you can't see ghosts in the periphery, it turns out that they are all concentrated here, I've heard of a hundred ghosts walking at night before, and there are no more than a hundred ghosts on the scene, and it is estimated that there are thousands of ghosts.

Could it be that ghosts also have parties and parties? Fan Wu saw hundreds of ghosts sitting together at the scene, at least 20 circles at a time.

In the center of the middle is a smoky gossip incense burner, the incense burner is floating out of the thick white mist-like yin qi, the white mist drifts out from thick to light to the periphery spreads, after layers of ghost absorption, to the outermost circle has faded invisible, but even this almost transparent yin qi is four or five times richer than the yin qi on the periphery of the cemetery.

Damn, if you don't suck, you will lose a lot, Fan Wu immediately came to the outermost circle to find an open space that was not next to other ghosts and sat down, inhaling yin qi heavily, and was afraid that it would attract the attention of other ghosts and cause unnecessary trouble, so he stared at the scene while sucking.

In addition to learning that the night gathering of a thousand ghosts was probably because of the incense burner, Fan Wu also observed an interesting phenomenon.

The innermost circle was empty, and there were only five ghosts, two old men, an old woman, a middle-aged man, and a young woman.

Although they are different in age and gender, they all have one thing in common, that is, their dress, face and complexion are the best among the thousands of ghosts present, and their appearance is normal, and they don't have any ghostly appearance at all, especially the young woman wearing a big red dress, with a red dress and a beautiful woman, it is simply glamorous to the audience.

In addition to the fact that there are only five ghosts in the first circle, the number of ghosts in each circle from the second circle to the outermost circle is increasing.

And the interesting thing is that the farther away from the incense burner, the worse the image of the ghost, it should be said that the farther away from the incense burner, the ghost is more in line with Fan Wu's cognition of ghosts, and in the outer three circles, you can already see the hanging ghost with a long tongue, the drowned ghost with edema and the fire ghost with a festering body, and other classic dead ghost images, and there are some people with dog bodies, horns on their heads, and other varieties of Fan Wu is unknown.

In this way, Fan Wu inhaled the yin qi in a low-key manner, and at the same time opened his eyes to watch the big scene of thousands of ghosts gathering together, and everyone was concentrating on absorbing the yin qi in the process, and there was no trouble for any ghosts to come to Fan Wu at all.

Most of Fan Wu's mind was focused on observing the ghosts, and he didn't notice that the word "you" on his forehead flashed again in the second half of the night, just like the last time he absorbed the power of the old ghosts, helping Fan Wu to speed up the absorption and purification of yin qi, and then let him absorb it after filtering.

Soul power is the core energy of all ghosts, and all activities such as life and battle consume soul power.

Generally speaking, there is no soul power in nature that can be directly absorbed, and it is all stored in the soul body by absorbing yin qi and then converting it into soul power, so as long as it is a place where yin qi is strong, it is a place where all ghosts must fight.

Most ordinary ghosts only have two ways to increase their soul power.

The first is to accumulate soul power through the natural absorption accumulated over time, which is basically just enough for daily energy consumption, so ordinary ghosts basically don't have much combat strength, and many low-level ghosts can only scare and scare people by their appearance.

The second is to rely on the family members in the world to worship, many people for the deceased relatives to burn clothes and other worship behaviors can add a lot of soul power for them, but compared with other ordinary ghosts, it is only slightly better, just the tallest of the short, after all, people do not repeat the practice of deceased relatives year after year, and most of the worship behaviors such as burning clothes are only done every year on festivals such as Qingming and Chongyang.

In addition to this, one of the more common ways to quickly increase your soul power is Devouring.

As long as the strength is enough and the special technique is mastered, it can directly devour other ghosts, and many evil ghosts use this violent improvement method, but the biggest disadvantage of this method is that it will provoke encirclement and suppression from all sides.

It's better to commit a crime in the underworld, after being arrested by the underworld, at most eighteen layers of hell will suffer, if you are evil in the world, if you attract the masters of the two families of Buddhism and Taoism, you will be abolished and cultivated as a ghost slave, and you will be wiped out forever.

Techniques like the "you" character technique that Fan Wu received should also have the function of devouring, but firstly, Fan Wu is passively absorbing and not evil, and secondly, his strength is still very weak, and it is estimated that it will not attract the attention of all parties in the short term.

Of course, Fan Wu didn't know these paths at all, he was just concentrating on inhaling the rich yin qi here, this time the yin qi was much purer than the soul power of the old ghost last time, about five parts of yin qi could be purified into a pure soul power.

According to the usual practice, the word "you" distributed the soul power in a ratio of nine to one, and soon a night passed, and the glimpse of the 'you' alone had completely turned silver, and before Fan Wu knew it, it had disappeared into his forehead again.

Fan Wu knew that he was flying slowly, so he finished absorbing yin qi early an hour before dawn and left the cemetery.

When Fan Wu left, the young woman in red in the inner circle opened her eyes and glanced at his back, her brows furrowed slightly, and then she closed her eyes again and continued to inhale yin qi.

When there was still half an hour before dawn, the old woman by the incense burner opened her eyes and stood up, first coughed dryly twice, raised her voice, and said:

"Everyone, when the time comes, please prepare to leave the cemetery, the annual yin energy surge is coming to an end, you still want to absorb such pure yin qi can only wait for next year, if you are not dead by then, then reunite. ”

"The ugly words are in front, there is only such a special day every year, and if there is no invitation from the old lady Ben for the rest of the time, you must not come here to take advantage, otherwise don't blame our mother and son for being polite. ”

"It's easy to say, thank you Long Po!"

"If you are disturbed, you will retire first!"

"See you next year!"

After Long Po finished speaking, including the two old men in the inner circle and the young woman in red, all the foreign ghosts left one after another, and more than 800 ghosts dispersed at once.

"Prepare for the dawn, and go back to your own house!" continued Long Po.

After sending away the remaining more than 100 ghosts living in the cemetery, there was only the middle-aged man and Long Po in the inner circle left at the scene.

"Mom, do you think the three of them will see something?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Lao Li and Lao Wu shouldn't have it, I just don't know if Chen Xiangjun's slut will notice it, but it seems that even if he guesses something, he won't dare to trouble us, but he should also be careful, I heard Old Man Li say that something big seems to have happened in the underworld, and we have to be more restrained in the near future, don't let the ghost cha take the handle." Long Po replied to her son.

"However, it is at the most critical moment in the process, and it cannot be stopped. ”

"I didn't say to let you stop, just be more cautious, I guess that slut shouldn't affect us, okay, let's go back too." ”
