Hyakki Night Walk: Ghost Talisman (5)

"It should be coming soon, little one, don't be distracted. Quickly pay attention to the movement around you with the ghostly eyes of the night. Lihuo's lazy eyes suddenly became sharp. Said with his mouth open.

Hearing Lihuo's words, Li Xiaofan didn't dare to be careless anymore. As soon as Yemei's ghost eyes were activated, Li Xiaofan immediately felt the change in his vision.

Originally, the alley was pitch black, but now it turned a muddy silver-gray color. No walls, no tall buildings. It seems that everything around us is the same hue.

But through these ghost eyes, Li Xiaofan can catch those ghosts that are haunting the nearby ten miles. Of course, these ghosts are just lonely ghosts who have no self-consciousness and have not yet been detained into the underworld by black and white impermanence, and do not pose any threat to people.

It didn't take long for a pitch-black figure to appear within Li Xiaofan's ghost eye vision. The figure slowly writhed on the ground. Its rotten eyes looked around, as if looking for something.

"It's it!" Li Xiaofan recognized the identity of the earth ghost at a glance. Maybe it's because the aura on Li Xiaofan's body is blocked by the ghost talisman. Right now, the earth ghost didn't notice it at all, and in the alley, there was a hidden crisis waiting for it.

The ground ghost kept approaching the alley, and its rotten eyes were dull and indifferent.

Not every human being will have a soul after death. After some human beings die, their souls will be directly returned to samsara. Only a very small number of souls will recondense after death. Some souls, after becoming ghosts, will have a very powerful cultivation. And some souls, after becoming ghosts after death, will only wander in the dead place blankly, becoming a veritable lonely ghost and a wild ghost.

Obviously, the Earth Ghost is targeting such a target. It needs to keep devouring fresh souls to replenish its strength.

At this point, some people may be curious. In fact, it is very simple for ghosts to experience reincarnation, they only need to possess the body of a newborn baby, and after the baby is born, they will experience it as an ordinary person for a lifetime. After death, if you can successfully turn back into a ghost, then the closed memories will be revived. Then, continue with the second reincarnation.

But after death, the chance of a person being able to turn into a ghost is very small after all. A 1 in 1,000 chance, not even a gamble. Completely suicidal.

In this case, if the ghost wants to survive the cycle safely, it must devour the souls of other people. If a ghost devours the souls of a thousand people. Then, in his next reincarnation, the chances of turning into a ghost will undoubtedly be quite large. However, the prefecture strictly prohibits such situations. Once such a ghost is discovered, Black and White Impermanence will mercilessly detain it back to the underworld and forcibly send it into the six realms of reincarnation.

Of course, the method of turning around by devouring the soul is not suitable for the sixth reincarnation. The sixth reincarnation of ghosts can only be carried out through the six reincarnation paths of the underworld.

If it is the soul of a ghost, it returns to the source of the soul, and then it is lucky that it is not decomposed and is completely reborn in this world. Then, it will become the Six Ghosts. That is to say, as long as there are no ghosts who have experienced the six realms of reincarnation. No matter how many times it possesses a baby, it is only a rakshasa ghost.
