Chapter Twenty-Six: The General Ghost King, The Strange Flower of the Underworld
Chu Lingfeng entered the dead qi, there was darkness everywhere here, but it was not as foggy as in the yin qi, it was a transparent black, clean and pure black. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info There is no light in this black, but its transparency allows your soul to see far away. Yes, it's your soul, not your eyes.
Chu Lingfeng and the little fox entered the dead air and stopped without going far, and in front of them were two rows of ghost soldiers. Yes, it's two rows, and it's two neat rows. Their armor was neat and clean, and there were no signs of fighting each other. And Chu Lingfeng could see sobriety and sanity in their eyes. The soldiers glanced at the two of them, then ignored them and continued to stand neatly, as if guarding something.
Chu Lingfeng didn't know what to do for a while, and at this time, a ghost dressed as a literati floated out of it. He smiled at Chu Lingfeng and said, "Two, our general is invited!" Chu Lingfeng was surprised: "General, is it the General Ye from hundreds of years ago?" The literati ghost replied: "Exactly." If you have any questions, our general will answer you, so let's go inside first!"
Chu Lingfeng and the little fox followed the ghost of the literati into a burial chamber, which was a natural karst cave and artificially trimmed. In the boxy burial chamber, there is a half-zhang high platform in the middle, and a coffin made of brass hangs from the high platform with a thick iron chain. If Mr. Jin were here, he would know that the body in the coffin may have been transformed. Only corpses that have signs of corpse change before burial will be used in copper coffins. At the edge of the coffin, a tall ghost stood.
The ghost and the stone statue in the stone hall above have seven or eight points of imagination, and they are also wearing armor and holding a sword in one hand, but there is no spear in their hands. It seems that this is the ghost of which general.
In one corner of the burial chamber, there was a foot-long rift, and the crack was suspended in the air, as if someone had torn the air apart from thin air. A thick air of death is constantly wafting out from the rift, and it seems that this is the spatial rift in the ghost world that Mr. Jin said. In front of the rift there was a small three-foot pool of water, and the stalactites on the pool would drip a drop of black viscous liquid for a long time, and there was already half a pool of this liquid in the pool. On the edge of the pool, there are two delicate flowers, one red and one white.
The general's ghost held the bronze coffin in one hand, his eyes staring in this direction, motionless, as if thinking about something. Chu Lingfeng and the little fox didn't know what to do, so they had to stand there without moving. After all, one is just a child, and the other is equivalent to a human child before he has been transformed into a human being. Fortunately, the time was not long after, and the general moved. "Someone is finally here!" said the general, "and you are the only ones who have arrived here for hundreds of years. Son, can you do me a favor? You can take whatever I have here, and I will pay for it. ”
The general's ghost slowly told the reason for the incident. It turns out that the great war hundreds of years ago inadvertently created this ghost land. At that time, the ghosts here could walk out of this valley, because most of them were mutilated and turned into ghosts, so they often endangered nearby creatures. Fortunately, there was one of them, some Taoist mages passed by here and instructed: "There must be a general who was extremely evil in his life, and he will be buried here after his death, so that the general's evil spirit can suppress the ghosts here and no longer come out to harm." But the general, like the other ghosts here, will never be reborn. ”
Not long after the mage left, the general died due to the dark wounds he had suffered from years of fighting. Before he died, he asked his descendants to bury him here, and he would suppress the ghosts here. Later, the general's subordinate generals and personal soldiers gradually passed away one by one, and they all asked to accompany the general before they died, so there were those soldiers that Chu Lingfeng saw just now.
Since the general suppressed this place, the ghosts here do not go out to harm, but only fight each other in the valley. But after a long time, this is not the underworld after all, the yang energy in the yang world is eroded little by little, coupled with the continuous fighting, dissipation and reunion, the ghosts here slowly lose their spiritual intelligence, and only the instinctive and tyrannical aura of the powerful ghosts remains. Maybe in a few hundred years, the ghosts here will really disappear.
The general said, "We ghosts, because of this rift, have kept our minds sane. What wafts out here is the real aura of the underworld, but unfortunately it can only envelop this small area. ”
Chu Lingfeng couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, these ghosts had died because of the war. By mistake, it's just that you can't go into the underworld, and now it's more likely that your soul will dissipate, which is really pitiful. Thinking of this, I couldn't help asking, "I don't know how the general wants us to help?"
The general ghost said, "For so many years, only you have been able to communicate with us, so I would like to ask you to find a way to inform the underworld. Tell the ghosts of the underworld about our affairs and ask them to extradite us to the underworld. I don't think it's difficult, as long as you are willing to help, you can go anywhere with my gold and silver treasures here. ”
Chu Lingfeng thought about it, this matter is not difficult. After 7749 days, the ghosts of normal death will completely break off all the earthly relationships in the world of harmony and yang. At that time, there will be a heavenly way in the underworld, guiding ghosts to lead ghosts to the underworld. And those ghosts who have deep resentments or unfulfilled wishes cannot be connected. At this time, only when the grudge is eliminated or the wish is fulfilled and the fate of the dust is completely cut off will he go to the underworld. As long as you go out, find an opportunity to find the ghost who came to pick you up, then you can send a message. And this is also a matter of great merit, of course Chu Lingfeng is willing.
Thinking of this, Chu Lingfeng immediately agreed: "This matter is not difficult, as long as you go out, I will be able to help you do it soon." ”
The general's ghost is overjoyed, he has been trapped in this place for hundreds of years, and today he finally has hope of getting out. The ghost dressed as a scribe also thanked him again and again, and asked Chu Lingfeng and the others to take the treasure at will. To say that there are still a lot of treasures in the general's tomb, after all, many years of war have accumulated a lot of wealth. I saw that the secret rooms behind the tomb were full of all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry, as well as sharp and delicate weapons and exquisite armor. Although they still shine after hundreds of years, each of these things is worth a lot. It was impossible for the little fox to be interested in these things as a spirit, Chu Lingfeng didn't understand the value of these things, and he had always been worried about the purpose of his coming here, so neither of them cared about these.
Chu Lingfeng thought about what the master had said, this time the baby was 'Yimu'. Chu Lingfeng didn't understand what 'Yimu' was, but it was related to wood here, and it was only those two flowers and plants. Chu Lingfeng pointed and said, "I want those two flowers." ”
When the scribe ghost saw it, he hurriedly said: "Little Engong, we don't know what the flower is, but we know that every time they have a flower, they bloom once, and when we get close to the flower, our souls will be unstable, as if we are going to be sucked up." As long as the little Engong is useful and can get it, just take it. ”
The little fox watched for a while, and then suddenly said, "I seem to know what it is." Looking at Chu Lingfeng and said, "Actually, I haven't seen it either, but I have inherited memories." The red one is called 'Manzhu Sawah', and the white one is called 'Mandala Hua', which is a strange flower that grows on the bank of the Lechuan River in the underworld. The red 'Manzhu Shahua' main life, as long as a petal is taken, no matter how many injuries are inflicted, it can recover quickly, but it can't be reborn with a broken limb. The white 'mandala' is dead, and as soon as the ghost touches it, it will begin to dissipate, and after a long time, the soul will be gone. But there is nothing wrong with the creatures who are protected by the flesh. The little fox asked Chu Lingfeng to find two jade boxes from the treasure room, which were used to hold two flowers and plants for a while, and said: "Legend has it that this flower was transformed by a couple, and if you pick one alone, it will immediately wither and turn into fly ashes. Only when two people pick two flowers at the same time can it be successful. But only a few people can succeed, and the reason for this is that my inheritance memory has not been completely unsealed, and I can't say clearly. “
Chu Lingfeng and the little fox stood next to the two flowers respectively, and the two of them cautiously stretched out their hands, and then the little fox said: "I have a feeling, we will definitely succeed!"
