67, the corpse of the town
I only felt that this moment of time, and even the end of Xue Mingyan's shout was still in my ears.
I looked at the roof, and the statue of the Earth Devil was gone, there was no thunder, no wooden corpses, all illusions.
I let go of my hand holding the wooden bell and looked at Xue Mingyan, both Xue Mingyan and Yiyang looked at me, and then I heard Yiyang ask me, "Stone, what's wrong with you?"
Instead, I looked at them in confusion and I asked, "What's wrong?"
I saw that Yiyang's expression became a little strange, but Xue Mingyan still couldn't see anything with that expression.
I saw Xue Mingyan walking towards me. Then he looked at this wooden bell in the corner of the eaves, and he asked me, "Have you seen this thing before?"
I nodded and said, "Yes." β
Xue Mingyan said, "Then do you know what this is?"
I said, "I only know it's about dead people, but I don't really know what it does." β
Xue Mingyan said: "If I'm not mistaken, this wooden bell in your hand." It should be a heart. β
I was stunned for a moment, then looked at the wooden bell, and immediately retracted my hand, and I asked, "A heart?"
Xue Mingyan said: "Yes, it is a heart, which is the heart of the wooden corpse you have seen before. β
I heard him mention the wooden corpse, and instantly became interested again, and I asked, "The heart of the wooden corpse." What's going on, what's going on with wooden corpses?"
Xue Mingyan said: "The reason why the wooden corpse is a wooden corpse is because of the thing you are holding in your hand, a wooden corpse, you can only get one such wooden bell, and such a wooden bell has a very special name, called soul heart." β
I was shocked, "Soul Heart, what is this for?"
Xue Mingyan said: "Just like what you see now, this thing is hung on such an eaves corner, specially used to absorb the yin qi around it, and there will be a wooden bead in the soul heart, and this wooden bead is the eye of the wooden corpse." β
I just thought it was a little appalling, and I asked, "What exactly is a wooden corpse, isn't a wooden corpse a human corpse?"
Zhang Ziang said: "A wooden corpse is indeed a human corpse, because the soul heart is only possessed by people, so if it is not a human being, it will not become a wooden corpse." β
I sighed even more, and I asked, "How did the wooden corpse come about, and why did people become wooden corpses?"
Xue Mingyan listened and said, "This question ......"
As he spoke, he looked at the wooden bell soul heart on the eaves corner, and then said: "The soul heart is hung on each eaves in the direction of the hexagram array, and the people buried in it can keep the body from decaying, and even ......."
I asked, "Even what?"
Xue Mingyan was intermittent when he talked about this, as if he was thinking of something, and seemed to be thinking about something, in short, he didn't continue, I don't know what he wanted to say. Just kept looking at him, he said, "The soul heart is an extremely precious thing, after all, a soul heart is a person. β
This sentence seemed to be like emotion, and I followed his words and asked: "Isn't it easy for someone to take away such a precious thing but it is hung in such a conspicuous place?"
Xue Mingyan said: "Sometimes I'm really afraid that you won't take it, but if you can take it, it's even better." β
I was shocked, because when I was a child, I saw such a wooden bell hanging in the corner of the eaves, and I really wanted to take it off and take it home, but fortunately I didn't do it. Xue Mingyan said: "The reason why it is called the soul heart is because it can suck people's souls, in other words, it can also be said that people's souls will be absorbed in this soul heart." β
Yiyang lived at this time: "Then isn't this a container, I remember that there is a magic weapon that can place people's souls." β
Zhang Ziang said: "Yes. It's like the magic weapon you said, but the soul heart is different from the magic weapon, because the soul heart will slowly absorb the soul inside. β
Yiyang's tone changed: "Why?"
Xue Mingyan lived: "Actually, to put it bluntly, the soul heart is just a medium, because behind the soul heart is connected to a soul disk that you may never have heard of before. β
I asked, "Soul Disk?"
Xue Mingyan said: "The souls absorbed by the soul heart will eventually be transferred to the soul plate, so the soul heart is just a medium, not because the soul heart sucks the soul, but is transferred to the soul plate, but when it reaches the soul in the soul plate, it is completely dead." β
I asked, "Soulβdead?"
I couldn't understand this phenomenon for a while, and now I know that there is a destiny chart and a territory. Now there is another soul disk, is it possible that the soul disk is also a part of the heavenly machine, but for the purpose of sucking people's souls, such an evil way is not like the right way.
Xue Mingyan said: "This state can't be described now, and no one even knows who the soul disk is, so let alone what the soul will become after entering the soul disk." Dead souls are just a way of saying it, because once you go to the soul in the soul plate, it is basically impossible to come back, and you can't summon the soul, as if you have already died. β
I asked, "Then hanging such a soul heart outside the eaves of the tomb is to absorb the souls of the people in the tomb, but how does it feel like this is not the case?"
Xue Mingyan said: "The soul heart only has this effect, but supplemented by different hexagram arrays is not this effect, these soul hearts you see are used to seal the souls in the tomb, in other words, these soul hearts are used to suppress corpses." β
I asked, "Corpses?"
Xue Mingyan lived: "Corpses or dead souls that can't be handled normally will use this method to suppress corpses. Keep the corpse in the grave and don't let it come out and harm others. β
I thought of the grave I saw when I was a child, and there was almost an entire family buried in the grave, so was there something wrong with their family? Even if they want to bury their dead family members in it and ban them, is it that the people in their family will be abnormal?
I then asked Xue Mingyan: "Then what is the reason why the family I saw when I was a child buried the entire family of dead people in such a grave?"
Xue Mingyan said: "It is only possible that the corpses of their family will change after they die, so they need to suppress the corpses." β
I asked, "What's changed?"
Xue Mingyan said: "The most common is zombies, or corpses. If it is more powerful, it will become a living corpse, and if it is more powerful, it may even become a dead corpse. β
I asked, "I know all about zombies, corpses, and living corpses, but what is a dead corpse?"
Xue Mingyan said: "The dead corpse is the corpse with a soul, with the characteristics of a corpse, and at the same time the characteristics of a living person, but the soul is a dead soul, and a person is a corpse. β
I asked, "And how did this corpse come about?"
Xue Mingyan said: "It's very simple, you only need to put the soul heart in his heart, and you can become like this, and over time, the soul heart will take root in its heart and grow again." It will become a dead corpse like a living person, but this kind of dead corpse needs to suck human souls to survive because the soul heart has become a heart. β
I was shocked by Xue Mingyan's explanation, not even startled, but frightened, I asked: "If you suck people's souls, then people won't die?"
Xue Mingyan said: "People will die without a soul, but without a heavenly soul and an earth soul, they will only become crazy or stupid. If this kind of corpse continues to suck human souls to a certain point, it will eventually become another form. β
I asked, "What does it look like?"
Xue Mingyan glanced at my life: "Now you can't understand this when I tell you this, we call this kind of dead corpse a blue-faced person, you haven't seen it, so naturally you can't imagine what it is like." β
I thought to myself - the blue-faced man?
As I was thinking this, I heard Yiyang exclaim, "You mean that's how the green-faced man came?"
Hearing Yiyang's exclamation, I suddenly understood that Xue Mingyan spared such a bend and said so much, in fact, he was telling us the relationship between this wooden bell and the blue-faced man, although I had never seen what the blue-faced man was.
Then I heard Yiyang say: "The corpse in this tomb is not a blue-faced person, right?"
Xue Mingyan glanced at me, and then lived: "This depends on what the hexagram on it is." β
