Chapter Seventy-Four: Singing on the River
I didn't expect that there would be so many people in this wasteland in the wilderness, could it be that the place I wanted to ask for was already known to everyone?
But it seems that there is no better place than here. Moreover, I even signed the deed of sale (guarantee agreement), is it too late to quit now?
"You said you put a little finger in the pier, is it true or false?" I asked, looking at Jiang Xin.
Jiang Xin's enthusiasm at this time had been greatly reduced, so he just nodded, and then pointed to the bridge pier in the center of the river.
Since you plan to get rid of the underworld here, you must first strengthen your strength, and it would be better to have an expert in collecting ghosts. I took out a magic weapon like a boat from the storage ring, which was also obtained in the reward, which has no practical effect, that is, it can be turned into a boat at any time, and there is a slight defensive effect, which is a magic weapon.
But that's exactly what I need now, and when I threw the boat on the river, it turned into a three- or four-meter-long canopy in the blink of an eye, more than enough for two people.
We got into the boat one after another, and I got to the middle of the river, and approached the pier in the middle. By the light of the street lamps by the river and the moonlight, you can see that the pier is about three meters wide, a little shorter than a boat. In the middle of the piers, there is clearly a square about one person high and about one person sealed by cement, as if someone had cut the rock and then sealed it off.
The Soul Bridge is also about four meters wide, and if a space can be opened up in this pier that can accommodate one person, it will be more than enough.
Jiang Xin looked at the sealed place, the ghost aura on his body became thick again, and his face was extremely cold. "This is it. ”
Su Lou stretched out his hand and touched the bridge pier, and said, "This is not like a trace that was chiseled out by ordinary secular people, but more like it was cut by someone with some magic weapon." ”
I nodded, agreeing with Su Lou's words. This seal is very flat, flat like cutting a radish, this kind of rock itself is very strong, even if a cultivator with the power of a four-grade dragon and tiger only uses brute force, he will not want to break such a neat facet.
"I don't know, I was fighting with that ghost general for half a month before I took down the ghost general, but I myself was not much better, I was seriously injured, otherwise even if I had a butcher's knife, how could those worldly people hold me?" Jiang Xin said viciously: "They lied to me that this bridge pier was opened overnight, I'm afraid there are ghosts inside, please come forward to collect the ghosts, I was worried about their safety, and I went directly here without thinking about it." But I didn't expect that there were no ghosts in it, but there were a bunch of people, hehe!"
It seems that there were also extraordinary people among those people back then, otherwise how would they know how to use a butcher's knife to deal with Jiang Xin? This is definitely not an ordinary person's doing.
Su Lou took out an egg-sized thing, I have seen this thing in Li Mengyuan's hand, it is a thunderbolt, but the one in his hand is obviously much better than Li Mengyuan's use, and it is a second-grade magic weapon. The Thunderbolt itself is a one-time magic weapon, just like a grenade, but the lethality will be more concentrated and more powerful, and it is simply the best to use it for everyone, disturbing people, and destroying things. It's a pity I don't have this in my tip.
With a loud bang, the entire river shook, and the river rolled endlessly, and it was a magic weapon under my feet, which was also shaking at this time, and almost threw me out.
But the stone bridge itself had no effect, except for an additional hole in the seal, and the stone slag broke into dust and fell on the surface of the river like a starry sky.
I waved my hand off the smoke and dust in front of me and looked inside the cave.
The hole is not big, about two meters square, but it is just big enough for one person.
Jiang Xin's face was not very good, he looked at the entrance of the cave, and walked in first, followed by Su Lou and I.
Because the cave has been closed all year round, there is more of a smell of decay and stone, and the decay comes from the blood stains that have turned black in the entire cave, and there are whole pools everywhere, especially in the innermost place.
The blood had penetrated the rock completely, black as if it were the material of the rock itself, and even the smell of blood had fermented and turned into a musty smell.
Jiang Xin walked in front of the pool of blood, his fingers crossed the stone wall, and his voice was so cold that it seemed to come from Jiuyou: "Back then, they trapped me here, and the butcher's knife cut off my meridians, so that I couldn't move, and the blood flowed out like this, soaking the entire cave. ”
"You see, this is where my shoulders are, and they put two iron cones that beat wild boars through my lute bones, and nailed them to the wall, saying, In this way, if I become a ghost, I will be fixed in the stone wall, and I will not trouble them. Jiang Xin's fingers caressed the two pits in the bloodstains, which were half an arm's deep.
I looked at the place, even in the deepest part, there were blood stains, chisel and chisel into it, Jiang Xin at that time, it should be better to live than to die.
"It's really a pity that this group of people is dead!" Jiang Xin suddenly clenched his fists, and an unprecedented aura burst out along with the ghost qi, which made people very depressed in this narrow space for a while.
I know Jiang Xin's pain, this kind of torture, if I don't experience it myself, I can't understand what it means to really live like a year, I can't survive, I can't die.
I reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "The biggest difference between you and them is that you have a conscience, and they don't. They are just secular people, people in the late Qing Dynasty, and they have already gone to the underworld at this time, isn't there a judge in the underworld, judging their life right or wrong, their fate may not be as good as you. ”
"Ha, are you comforting?" Jiang Xin smiled suddenly, and his anger dissipated.
Jiang Xin has never been a wicked person, otherwise after encountering this kind of thing, he would not have set up a ghost wall to scare away those who strayed in. He has hatred and resentment, which is not false, but he can distinguish between injustice and debt.
"Not really, after all, you are also my person now, and I don't want you to step into the abyss again. I said, "If the accepted ghost does a lot of good deeds, he can remove the karma of his previous life and be reborn into samsara, or he can find a new body and be reborn." ”
"You!" Jiang Xin suddenly looked at me: "Are you willing to let me go in the future?"
"What's not to like? I'll raise you for the rest of your life? You really want to be beautiful!" I pouted.
In fact, how do I know this? It's just that the man in my headphones is very nagging, and he has to talk when he is free, so he even tells me these things, for fear that I will suffer if I am missing.
"Hahaha, okay, little girl, listen, as long as you are willing to let me go in the future, I will do my best to help you get rid of the ghosts in this underworld!" Jiang Xin laughed a few times, sweeping away the previous haze.
He flashed and walked straight through a crack in the wall. At that time, it was torture here, and the axes and chisels left many marks and cracks in the walls, and this crack was the joint between two rocks, and there was a gap of about two centimeters, and there was nothing unusual at all.
Jiang Xin's hand brushed over that place, and the crack that was originally empty suddenly had a little thumb on it, and there was a storage ring on it. He took his thumb and handed it to me: "This is what I left behind, and I kept it by hiding it with illusion. My storage ring has a lot of magic weapons and talismans for collecting ghosts, and you can use them. As for this knuckle......"
"Since this finger contains your skills and cultivation, you can take it back yourself. I said.
"Really, you, aren't you afraid that I will regain my strength and attack you?" Jiang Xin was surprised and delighted, but looked at me with some doubts.
"It's okay, I bet you won't. I said, without looking at him, and just broke his storage ring and counted the treasures inside. ,
Jiang Xin's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't speak again, and directly threw the finger into his mouth.
I poured out all the things in the storage ring, I thought that Jiang Xin would have many things, except for the countless ghosts of all sizes, there was only a peachwood sword and two evil charms, and nothing else.
I looked at Jiang Xin depressedly, and Jiang Xin scratched his head embarrassedly: "I had a lot of magic weapons back then, isn't this a ghost who has been collected here for three years, and I haven't had time to practice it...... So, did you bring cinnabar and yellow paper? I'll draw some symbols for you on the spot. ”
"This feeling is good!" I immediately handed him these two things, before the beauty let me prepare a lot, I don't know how to use it, now there is Jiang Xin, a professional ghost collector, that really saves me too much effort.
Jiang Xin found a rock fragment on the ground as a tray, poured the cinnabar on it, and then asked me to mix the cinnabar evenly with blood, and drew ten talismans directly on the ground.
"Now, your cinnabar is not pure enough, only add your blood to increase its effectiveness. Here are four Divine Talismans that increase speed by five times, and are best used for escape and pursuit. There are also six fire separation talismans, which can be used to set fire to repel ghosts, which is the time when you can resist a breath when you encounter a powerful ghost. ”
"That's very good!" I immediately divided the ten talismans with Su Lou.
"My sword is a lightning strike peachwood sword, which is the most useful against ghosts, so keep it safe. Jiang Xin pointed to the things on the ground, and introduced them to me one by one: "These ghosts are already pretending to be ghosts, the redder the color, the stronger the ghosts inside, you must not let them out, otherwise it will be another big battle, especially the one that is red and black, and the ghost general is contained inside." You can also use other empty ghosts to collect ghosts, and I'll teach you the mantra. ”
After some tidying up, it was already late at night.
We took advantage of the night and walked across the Soul Bridge. After we walked across, a black mist suddenly floated over the river, enveloping the Soul Bridge, and the street lamps by the causeway swayed in the wind, like candles, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
Suddenly, the Soul Bridge is gone! The causeway is gone! The street lights are gone!
"The two of us rowed the boat to pick the red ling, the red ling, the Lang has affection, and the sister has the heart......"
Suddenly, a melodious and crisp song floated on the river.
