Chapter Eighty-Three: Catching Ghosts
The pale hand like white paper stretched out from behind the tombstone and put it on the tombstone, looking eye-catching and cold, as if the dead were about to crawl out of the dirt, and then, in Zhou Shaojin's sight, with the pale arm on the tombstone, a head also stretched out from behind the tombstone, a pale and cold dead face, completely unrecognizable before birth, and the corners of the mouth were still flowing with black-brown liquid....
Seeing this scene, Zhou Shaojin no longer hesitated, not only did the ghost in the back crawl out from behind the tombstone, but the ghost in front had also walked to the top of the mountain, close in front of him, holding chopsticks in his left hand and continuing to hit the porcelain bowl, but his right hand had already thrown out "Wow... Wow... Wow..."
With the action of Zhou Shaojin's right hand, the soul chain also directly turned into a black shadow and threw out, as fast as lightning, more like an extremely fast black snake, as if it had its own life and consciousness, and quickly shot towards the ghost that had just floated to the top of the mountain in front of him, in Zhou Shaojin's sight, the soul chain flew away, like a dexterous black snake, directly spared three circles around the ghost, and then directly restrained the ghost.
In an instant, the ghost's terrifying face showed Zheng Zha's color, and his body began to struggle violently, so that Zhou Shaojin's right hand holding the soul chain felt a wave of force coming, as if he wanted to break away from his arm, Zhou Shaojin's heart moved, and when he used the soul chain for the first time, he had a feeling of being connected, and he felt that the strength of the soul chain seemed to be completely determined by his own strength.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Shaojin's mind moved, and the front end of the soul chain that had been entangled by the ghost suddenly skyrocketed and increased in an instant, and then bent in the air like a black snake, and shot towards the ghost on the right behind Zhou Shaojin who had just crawled out from behind the tombstone, this time, driven by Zhou Shaojin's mind, the soul chain pierced directly through the ghost's chest, and then wrapped three circles around the ghost's body, entangling it to death.
The ghost's mouth was open, its chest was pierced by the chain of souls, as if it was enduring great pain, its pale face became distorted and painful, its mouth was wide open, as if it was about to scream, but it didn't make a sound, and its body struggled as violently as the ghost in front of it.
In the blink of an eye, the two ghosts were restrained and subdued by the soul chain for the first time, and the soul chain was also hovering on the top of the mountain like a long black snake, at this time, Zhou Shaojin also felt that the force from the soul chain held in his right hand had become twice as great, and there was some difficulty, as if after strenuous exercise at this moment, his physical strength was consumed.
"Sure enough, the soul chain is connected with one's own mind, and the strength of the soul chain also depends on one's own strength, and the soul chain can be regarded as an extension of one's own limbs, but unlike one's own limbs, the soul chain can be expanded and contracted freely, and it has a special restraint effect on the soul body. ”
At this moment, Zhou Shaojin completely realized that the soul chain was his weapon as impermanence, specially used to deal with ghosts, but how much effect the soul chain can exert depends entirely on the person who uses it, in short, it can be regarded as a weapon that changes with the user, it becomes stronger in the hands of the strong, and it is naturally weak in the hands of the weak.
Understood, Zhou Shaojin was more confident in his heart, when he was an ordinary person, he was already able to deal with a ghost by controlling the soul chain when he was recruiting ghosts in the county town when he was an ordinary person, and now he has officially stepped into the path of cultivation, building a small foundation, and his strength is not the same, just controlling the soul chain to deal with those two ghosts did not make him feel much difficulty, through the situation just now, he feels that he should be able to deal with five ghosts with all his strength if he controls the soul chain now, of course, if he uses the ghost suppression talisman, it is even simpler.
“@#¥%#&%......^%%&%^*&...........”
The thoughts in his mind were flying, but Zhou Shaojin's movements were not slow at all, after subduing the two ghosts with the soul chain, he recited the Soul Sutra in his mouth for the first time, and spit out the scriptures that he couldn't understand clearly, but it can be seen that after the scriptures were exported, the two ghosts bound by the soul chain obviously slowly quieted down.
Crossing the Soul Sutra, crossing the soul of the dead!
"Ding Dong, impermanence Zhou Shaojin, a super ghost, reward merit points: 4!"
"Ding Dong, impermanence Zhou Shaojin, a super ghost, reward merit points: 5!"
After a while, the two ghosts turned into silver light and disappeared, Zhou Shaojin also retracted the soul chain, and there were two messages of impermanence in his mind, two ghosts, one gave him four merit points, and the other gave him five merit points, a little more, the merit point reward rules in the Impermanence Order are completely judged according to the strength of the ghosts, just like the first time he overtook Zhou Guihua, who had just died, and only rewarded him with one merit point, that was because Zhou Guihua was too weak, and the new soul just after death didn't even know if he could survive forty-nine days to become a ghost, because after the death of ordinary people, most ghosts will automatically dissipate after seven or seventy-nine days, Only a few ghosts can survive it, but even if they survive, they will only become ordinary ghosts, and their consciousness will be hazy, and the memories of their lives will slowly disappear, called wandering spirits, floating in the yang world, and they can't hurt people, of course, it's okay to come out and be scary, but even if it's a wandering spirit, there are still strong and weak points, and if you wander in the yang world for a long time, if you don't slowly become stronger, you will slowly disappear, and this world has long been the world of ghosts.
Just like these two ghosts now, they belong to the list of geismans, that is, ordinary ghosts, but one rewards him with four merit points, one rewards him with five merit points, and the other is obviously stronger.
Ordinary ghosts, that is, above the wandering spirits, there are some evil ghosts and ghosts, this kind of thing is contaminated to kill people, but there are also strong and weak, just like the evil ghost he met in the county last time, which almost killed him, that is, the evil ghost all the time, and the one in Wangjia Village, it must also be a ghost, but Zhou Shaojin is sure that the ghost in Wangjia Village is definitely stronger than the evil ghost in the county seat, which is why he didn't dare to make a move last time or even thought about it at all.
Because he had a strong premonition at that time, if he made a move, more than 90% of them would not be the opponent of that ghost, and he would never do this kind of behavior equivalent to looking for death unless his head was ironed.
"Bell... Clang.... Bell...."
The sound of chopsticks hitting the porcelain bowl echoed clearly on the top of the mountain, and everything had subsided, in fact, it was only about a minute for Zhou Shaojin to solve the two ghosts from the beginning to the end, and the chopsticks on his left hand never stopped hitting the porcelain bowl, because the sound of the chopsticks hitting the porcelain bowl is the key to this ghost trick, one is to rely on this sound to attract ghosts to come, and the other is that only when people keep knocking on the porcelain bowl with chopsticks, the ghosts will not pay attention to the living.
"Here we go again. ”
After a few more minutes, Zhou Shaojin's eyes stared, and in his sight, in the stele forest on the left, a figure appeared on the ground and slowly crawled towards him, his whole head was on the ground, he couldn't see his face clearly, and his limbs were in a weird twisted shape, it was obvious that this was also a ghost, crawling towards him from this tombstone forest on the top of the mountain.
Zhou Shaojin made a decisive move, holding chopsticks in his left hand and continuing to hit the porcelain bowl, otherwise the sound stopped, and the soul chain was thrown out of his right hand by lightning, flying over like a dragon to entangle the ghost.
"Ding Dong, impermanence Zhou Shaojin, a super ghost, reward merit points: 4!"
"Ding Dong, impermanence Zhou Shaojin, a super ghost, reward merit points: 5!"
"Ding Dong, impermanence Zhou Shaojin, a super ghost, reward merit points: 8!"
"Ding Dong, impermanence Zhou Shaojin, a super ghost, reward merit points: 7!"
“...................”
Time passed, I don't know how long it has been, the three incense sticks that were lit earlier have long been burned out, Zhou Shaojin has ordered three incense sticks from the beginning, and now most of them have been burned, but the harvest also makes Zhou Shaojin happy, he can't count how many ghosts he has solved at the moment, one will appear almost every few minutes, and they are all ordinary ghosts, which is basically not difficult for him now, and it can be solved easily.
Zhou Shaojin couldn't remember how many ghosts he had solved, and he didn't know how many points he had earned now, so he didn't have time to watch them, but he thought it wouldn't be less.
After about ten minutes, at this time, Zhou Shaojin found that the speed of ghosts coming was getting slower and slower, and there were fewer and fewer ghosts, since he had just caught the last ghost, there had been no ghosts for nearly twenty minutes now, and he looked at the three incense sticks that were lit, and he also burned three-quarters of them.
"The time is almost up, and when these three incense sticks are burned tonight, it will be considered a complete merit. ”
Muttering in his heart, he glanced at the incense that was still burning, Zhou Shaojin thought while knocking on the porcelain bowl, and his eyes were vigilant around.
In the dead of night, there is silence, and on the top of the mountain, the sound of chopsticks hitting the porcelain bowl and the night breeze are mixed together and fluttering melodiously.
After another period of time, seeing that the three sticks of incense at his feet had burned to the bottom again, looking at the sky, Zhou Shaojin stopped the chopsticks in his hand and prepared to leave, put the bowl and chopsticks full of food into the white plastic bag anew, and prepared to stand up with the plastic bag, but just when Zhou Shaojin had just gotten up and his feet had not been straightened, he rushed to the back A cold and biting yin wind rushed behind.
