Chapter 66: Big Dreams
Although I don't know how this so-called soul summoning array works, and how it uses the souls of innocent people as sacrifices to recall or even reattach the souls that should have passed away to Bliss, but my intuition told Changning that I am afraid that this soul summoning array has a lot to do with the soul confusion array they have been tracking.
There was something vaguely wrong in his heart, and he couldn't grasp that clue for a while. But at least one thing is certain, and that is that this so-called Soul Summoning Array must be broken tonight.
The prayer flags of the dead have appeared, which means that the gates of Hades are about to be opened. If Changning's previous guess was correct, when the power of Qingsi's prayer flags was exhausted and the prayer flags of the afterlife were fully formed, the door of the underworld that had been opened would be stuffed into the souls of these innocent victims in the entire Chen Mansion at one time. At that time, the boundary between the human world and the underworld will be blurred here for a moment, and this will be enough for some big people who have been prepared for a long time to do something.
Maybe it's to turn Shanghe City into purgatory, or to open a passage for a sufficiently powerful being.
None of them are what Changning is willing to see now, let alone something he can be responsible for.
Therefore, Changning and Lu Ming did not delay in place for a moment, turned around and ran to the depths of the Chen Mansion.
At this moment, the two of them are in the array, which means that the big array is already running, and according to the records on the jade plate, they should have the conditions to find the fate of the big array and the foundation of the formation.
The illusion in front of him and the illusion in the original Soul Confusion Array are all aimed at pulling people into it and unable to extricate themselves. It's just that maybe because Chen Zhi and a mortal came to the main formation, and he didn't know or have the ability to grasp the changes, he could only pull Changning and Lu Ming into the Chen Mansion Night Banquet, which had no causal relationship with the two of them, and couldn't further confuse the sanity of the two of them.
At the same time, Chen Zhi still trusted the formation given by the immortal master in his mouth too much. Previously, Lu Ming's sword couldn't hurt him at all, which made him more confident, but he just waved his hand to urge the big array to drag Changning Lu Ming into the illusion, and he believed that these two people could no longer hinder him.
Changning and Lu Ming were confused in the soul formation at first, because one of them did not understand the formation, and many of the two of them were attacked and killed, and they did not allow Changning to spare time to calculate.
At this moment, although everyone in the array looked like living puppets, they were all in order, and they seemed to be busy welcoming the old lady's resurrection banquet.
Moreover, the living puppet in Chen's mansion was obviously not transformed for a long time, but he lost his senses, and his body was not significantly strengthened compared to ordinary people, Changning and Lu Ming ran in the mansion of the illusion, all the way unimpeded.
Changning held the jade plate that Lin Han had given him earlier, and according to the records in it, he had already deduced several fateful passes. He ran to corroborate and found that reality and inference were almost identical. This also made him further confirm that this so-called Soul Summoning Array was actually a Soul Confusion Array.
From this point of view, I am afraid that the so-called revival of the old lady of the Chen family is nothing more than a lie. The people who gave Chen Zhi the foundation used this method to condense the lives of the innocent servants and maids in the Chen Mansion, perhaps just to cultivate a more powerful living puppet.
The previous Confusion Soul Array could be broken with the help of the Buddha Singing, but at the moment, on the one hand, it is difficult to protect the Soul Meditation itself, and on the other hand, it seems that this time the Chen Mansion Array has borrowed the power of the Dharma, so the living puppet condensed in this way, I am afraid that the effect of the Buddha's power on its strangulation will be weakened a lot.
Thinking like this in his heart, Changning's feet sped up a lot.
The buildings within the Great Array of the Soul Confusion Array were almost completely consistent with the Chen Mansion in reality, which gave Changning a lot of convenience - he had roughly confirmed that the Soul Confusion Array Illusion Realm corresponded to the specific location of the formation base in reality.
Changning stopped.
In front of me is where the study of the Chen Mansion is located.
The door of the study was open, and it was empty, without the bookshelves and various furnishings that are usually found in the study, but only a long case was simply placed in the center.
After the case, another Chen Zhi sat in the Taishi's chair, holding a book and reading it carefully.
His temperament was completely different from the phantom just now, his face was slightly tired, his brows were tightly locked, and he was thoughtful.
The noise of the night banquet in the backyard became more and more intense, and even passed through the deep courtyard, through the high walls and trees, and clearly transmitted to the study.
Chen Zhi was interrupted by this noisy sound, he raised his head, looked in the direction of the backyard, and then showed a little happy smile.
Changning secretly said sorry in his heart, and then drew his sword.
Almost at the same time, Chen Zhi, who was quietly watching Qing Si in the backyard, showed an expression of disbelief.
It was like a glass cup being dropped to the ground, and a crisp breaking sound sounded.
It was as if a big dream had finally woken up, and his face seemed to have a fog that had dispersed, and then he showed the same eyes as Chen Zhi in the study.
He turned and looked into the depths of the compound.
Changning walked out of the shadows, holding a sword in one hand and the scroll that Chen Zhi had been holding in the fantasy study in the other.
The evil aura in the Chen Mansion was slowly dissipating, and the dilapidated and declining scenery was less of those strange joyful shapes, and it seemed even more lifeless.
"How so...... What about the night banquet? What about the singing and dancing? What about the ninety-nine eighty-one longevity lanterns I prepared for my mother's resurrection?" Chen Zhi looked dazed.
"It's all illusions, it's all falsehood. No night feasts, no singing and dancing, no resurrection. Some are just the people of the family who were sacrificed by you in vain, and the remains of the Chen Mansion that were buried by your own hands. "The words of the deer are like thorns.
"Illusion? So that's ......" Chen Zhi didn't seem to have many violent mood swings, but instead muttered like waking up from a big dream: "It turns out ...... I've been in the realm of illusions since the beginning......"
With that, pieces of his body shattered and turned into powder.
On the stone platform, prayer flags are extinguished. Qing Si got up slowly, stumbled slightly, stood up, put his hands together and said: "There is no Buddha in the south, and the poor monk is fortunate to live up to the trust." ”
Behind him, a tall figure also slowly emerged, looking at the humanoid clothes, it was the old lady of the Chen family that Changning saw in the illusion.
It's just that the so-called old lady of the Chen family is exuding an aura full of oppressive force at the moment, and the surrounding Dao power is pulled by her and turned into a small whirlpool. After a while, the whirlpool dissipated, and two points of ghostly light lit up in the humanoid's eye sockets, and strangely, under these two points of ghostly light, there was a bit of treasure solemnity that only Buddhism can have, as if the Dharma and the spirit were combined in some strange way.
"Senior Brother Qingsi, be careful!" Lu Ming shouted when he saw this.
And Qing Si showed a peaceful smile and said: "The poor monk has already done what he should do, and it is inconvenient to interfere more, Master Lin will ask for it." After saying that, the golden light disappeared without a trace.
A gloomy voice came from behind Changning Luming: "Hi Changning, we meet again." ”
