Chapter 69: Let's Go Ghost Hunting
"Dad, do you think there are really ghosts in this world?"
"Silly boy, of course not. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"But I'm a little scared. ”
"Don't be cranky, it's almost dawn, give me back my head, and go back to your grave and sleep." ”
"Oh......"
The man sighed wordlessly, straightened his skull, twisted it twice, and lay down next to a low grave. Whether it's a human or a ghost, he still likes to feel physically present, which gives him a sense of security. The translucent soul attached to the skeleton burrowed out, circled over the low tomb, and then burrowed into the low tomb, and was silent again.
......
Mass grave in Dunjiao Village. Many years ago, after a plague, all the villagers of Dunjiao Village died, and the local county ordered all the villagers' bodies to be hastily buried on a hillside near the village. Later, some people buried unclaimed bodies or some of the corpses that were not seen here. Therefore, it is named after the mass grave in Dunjiao Village.
The corpse gas condensation of the mass grave in Dunjiao Village for many years has made the surrounding environment gray, the bones on the ground are exposed, the skulls are hideous, and some of the bones are buried in the soil before they die, and when they die, they only barely stretch out a hand outside, rotting into bones. Some of the corpses are half-decomposed, and the place of muscle fat is a feast of maggots. Occasionally, wild dogs howl for food, startling a group of black crows. Even though the sun is scorching outside, the vicinity of the mass grave still makes people feel cold.
Zhang Xiaobai and the others stepped into the gray and yin range of the mass grave in Dunjiao Village, and saw a dead silence around, wild dogs running, black crows flying sideways, the color of the plants was dark green, and the fruits on the trees were black. These fruits contain highly poisonous, and ordinary people will die if they eat them, but they are useful for monks to refine the elixir, and they can be used to refine the Soul Manifestation Pill. Ordinary ghosts are invisible to the naked eye, and it takes a lot of mana for low-level monks to open their eyes, so the Soul Manifestation Pill comes in handy. One lasts for an hour, except for the occasional diarrhea and vomiting reaction in individual people, there are no other side effects, and it is inexpensive and practical.
"Vomit ......"
Zhang Xiaobai was lying next to him like a dead dog, and when he raised his head slightly, a white bone skull with hollow eyes was facing him, and a row of hideous teeth below seemed to be smiling at him, he slapped his skull and continued to vomit.
Zhang Xiaobai had never seen a ghost in his life, so he was curious, and before he came in, he swallowed a fishy and stinky soul manifestation pill, but he didn't expect that there would be an adverse reaction, and his stomach turned over and over, and he vomited non-stop. It's good that I didn't have diarrhea, otherwise it would have been embarrassing. Zhang Xiaobai was lucky in his heart.
"Hey...... Are you alright...... I've been throwing up for half an hour...... I'm still waiting to catch ghosts......" Du Ruochen was very impatient.
"Senior sister...... Generally, ghosts don't come out during the day, and they don't come out until night. "Li Xianyu is usually very cowardly in his tasks, but today he is quite calm when he looks at these crazy scenes, and it seems that he has indeed gone to catch ghosts with his master before.
"It's okay...... I'll get used to it when I vomit and vomit...... You go first, I'll ...... ...... "Zhang Xiaobai waved his hand, indicating that they didn't have to worry about themselves.
Half an hour after everyone left, Zhang Xiaobai stopped for a while, he had nothing to vomit, and all he kept spitting out was just bitter water. "I already expected how bad this mission would be......" Zhang Xiaobai smiled bitterly.
Once a task team in the Dingxia faction does not do tasks for a long time, they will be disqualified, and all team members will not be allowed to accept and publish tasks for three years, and the punishment will be very heavy. Since the end of the last mission, Zhang Xiaobai's European Emperor mission team has not taken over the task for more than half a year, and three warning notices have been issued.
Anyway, there is no shortage of money, in order to cope with the team not being disbanded, this time Zhang Xiaobai chose a task that is not well paid and relatively easy: the mass grave in Dunjiao Village to eliminate evil ghosts.
Since the rules were changed 10,000 years ago, monks do not enter reincarnation, and after death, their souls dissipate in heaven and earth, and their soul energy nourishes the land of Middle-earth. So the only people who can become ghosts are ordinary people. Ordinary people who become ghosts are not too powerful even if they are powerful ghosts, and it is usually difficult for powerful ghosts to appear with a strength higher than the Dan Realm. The ghost weapons that used to be cultivated with ghosts have also greatly reduced their power, and basically no one uses this magic weapon anymore.
"I don't know what zombies look like...... Zhang Xiaobai vomited until his limbs were weak, so he had to stay where he was, thinking wildly, and waiting for the others to return.
Although Zhang Xiaobai also wanted to see zombies, but under the nourishment of the mighty spirit of Middle-earth, the mountains and rivers were full of righteousness, and zombies and other fierce evil things that feed on flesh and blood would not be born.
Ghosts, to be precise, are not evil creatures. Because of some special reasons, some souls can't go to the underworld to be reincarnated and stay in the mortal world, which is why ghosts are formed. Although there are also fierce ghosts and other fierce creatures, ghosts can generally survive by feeding on yin qi, and can even cultivate, and will not endanger the lives of others. Moreover, there is a sect in the cultivation world that is the ghost cultivation sect, so the attitude of the cultivation world towards ghosts is still quite neutral. Only when there is an incident of evil spirits harming people, will there be monks to kill them.
In this mission, the number of ghosts in the mass grave in Dunjiao Village is estimated to be about fourteen to sixteen, of which the Yuan Realm is estimated to be three to five. The sixth to eighth layers of the strength Yuan Realm. As a two-and-a-half-star mission, this task is a failure. Because in terms of strength, this is just an ordinary two-star mission. However, since it has been divided into two and a half missions, it naturally makes sense.
According to some statistics, out of a hundred people who have fought against the ghosts, at least twenty people will have nightmares afterwards, constantly wandering in the dreams of the ghosts they are fighting against, and even the slightest distraction will be invaded by dreams. Some people even have a nervous breakdown and go insane because of this. Moreover, this kind of influence is ignorant of cultivation and cannot be eliminated, and the cultivation world calls this phenomenon obsession. However, this phenomenon usually lasts only seven days, which is neither long nor short. Generally, people who are more determined will survive it safely, but it doesn't taste very pleasant.
Therefore, when the Dingxia faction divides the task, it will increase the ghost extermination task by half a star, and will also explain this to the disciple who accepts the task, so that he can be mentally prepared. Zhang Xiaobai and others, including Li Xianyu, were quite confident in themselves and resolutely took over this task.
After waiting for a while, the people who found out the situation returned. Since it was daytime, the ghosts were in the middle of the hill at this time. So I didn't see any ghosts, but I found a lot of ordinary ghosts.
Because there were other ordinary souls in the mass graves, and it was not good to dig up the graves, the people decided to wait until the night when the ghosts went out to hunt before taking action.
"Xiaobai Saki helped me, I can't stand up......" Zhang Xiaobai was dying.
......
At night, there is a moon without stars, and it is sunny and cloudy.
When everyone came to the mass grave in Dunjiao Village at night, they found that there were already people standing nearby.
