Chapter 25 The Secret Unveiled in the Cave
Xiao Chengqian and I turned around at the same time. We immediately determined that the sound of chuckles was not made by humans. Human voices were made by vibrating vocal cords, which was very substantial. The sound of chuckles was so erratic, only
One possibility is that it’s a ghost sound!
This is probably a bit funny. Two dignified descendants of the Shanzi lineage are not afraid of ghosts in this cave, even if they don't have any magic weapons, talismans, or auxiliary tools.
After coming out of the initial slight panic after hearing this, Xiao Chengqian and I calmed down. We simply turned around and looked directly at what was behind us. Then we immediately saw it, where I had deliberately placed the flashlight.
There was a 'person' lying there looking at me and Xiao Chengqian and smiling.
Xiao Chengqian and I are not afraid of any ghosts, but the moment we saw it, our faces still turned ugly, just because that 'person' looked very weird, but we couldn't tell what was weird, so we had to say
If so, I always feel that my body proportions are out of proportion, and my head seems a bit bigger.
However, we can't tell the details, because the 'lying' person has no limbs. The place where the limbs should have grown looks bloody to us, and even the blood is still flowing on the ground, just like the limbs.
Just torn off.
Despite this, it still 'squirmed' towards us with a strange smile on its face.
"Is this supposed to be a victim?" Xiao Chengqian's expression turned ugly just because of its tragic situation, but he quickly recovered, crossed his arms and said to me in a calm tone.
"Without any clothes, I retained the most resentful moment before my death, but the soul of the victim is still lingering in this cave. He is indeed a victim." I also took the same posture and responded to Xiao Chengqian lightly.
If ordinary people saw this scene, they would probably faint from fear, and ordinary Taoist priests would probably choose to run away. Those who take such "vivid and concrete" forms can only be resentful ghosts, which are difficult to deal with, but Xiao Chengqian and I don't care.
The discussion started very calmly.
For a thing like a ghost, the more calm and fearless you are when you meet it, the smaller the chance of being taken advantage of by it. If you are not its 'creditor', the possibility of being killed by it is very small.
Seeing that we were unmoved, a trace of malice flashed in the eyes of the resentful ghost, even though we had nothing to do with the person who killed it.
However, I can also understand this kind of resentment. Since it is a resentful ghost, it is inevitable to act in extreme ways and look at the world with a color of 'hate'. If you want to say that the resentful ghost wants something, I can definitely tell you.
You are 'life', because they don't have it, so they have their own hatred for the living beings that are alive, have warm body temperature, and have fresh breathing.
This is what human beings carve into their souls. If they can’t live in turmoil forever, the same goes for becoming a ghost!
It's okay to say that the resentful ghost has some sense and can accept the 'restraint' of heaven, but the resentment is a bit stronger. If this thing is a fierce ghost, an existence like Li Fengxian, Xiao Chengqian and I are afraid that we will take action.
Compared to me, Xiao Chengqian was more impatient. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, his aura as a Taoist was naturally released. There is no true Taoist who does not practice Xuan Kung.
Without cultivating the inner alchemy technique, which in my opinion is too 'tangible', and practicing hard for many years, Xiao Chengqian and I may have reached a state that is insignificant in the eyes of our predecessors, but if our aura cannot suppress ghosts,
That’s considered practicing in vain.
Therefore, at this time, Xiao Chengqian released his aura without reservation and performed a hand gesture casually. Some fear flashed in the eyes of the resentful ghost, and he actually had a hint of retreat.
"Our thoughts were not on you in the first place. It was fine if we didn't find you. But you came out to scare people and vent your resentment. It was fine if we didn't find you. If we found you, we shouldn't even think about running away." Xiao Chengqian said seriously.
You see, he looks like a righteous Taoist who upholds justice for heaven and kills all evil things in the world.
Only I know that this guy has been too 'brainwashed' by the organization in his bones. Good and evil have no binding force in his heart. His way has been the extreme "my" way for many years, with only the end goal.
The kind of fork in the road where there are no divergences.
I don't think this guy suddenly became righteous. He had a purpose.
So, I watched silently. In fact, at this moment, I have noticed that in addition to the one in front of us, there are at least 4 such existences in this cave.
As soon as Xiao Chengqian appeared like this, the other four resentful ghosts also appeared, all with the same "horrible" appearance. They all appeared in front of us, but faced with the absolute "pressure", their eyes did not dare to show it.
Instead of being spiteful, he looks miserable.
I touched my chin and wondered, how painful is it for a person without limbs? Judging from their appearance, they must have been roughly 'removed' their limbs and then left to die. This way of death is so painful, why is it just
Resentful ghosts, but not transformed into fierce ghosts? What kind of power is suppressing them?
I was still thinking about this issue, but Xiao Chengqian had already spoken: "But you want to seek salvation? The feeling of being filled with resentment is not pleasant?"
The five resentful ghosts over there nodded in unison, and I once again discovered a question. Since there seemed to be 7 or 8 corpses here, why were there only five resentful ghosts?
At this moment, even though I am a fool, I can understand Xiao Chengqian's purpose, and I said: "There is no problem in allowing you to have a salvation, but you must at least tell us what happened, right?"
Xiao Chengqian glanced at me approvingly. The things in this cave are too strange. In addition, it is very likely that this is where we are looking. We have not found any valuable clues for a while, but it is a big surprise to find the clues on them.
A good thing.
Besides, it is my original intention to save these poor resentful ghosts.
Facing the conditions I proposed, the miserable expressions on the faces of the five resentful ghosts became even heavier, and in the next moment, the cave began to become blurry, and then became bright in the eyes of Xiao Chengqian and I.
Xiao Chengqian and I did not resist, and remained in a sleepy state affected by this, accepting everything in our eyes and in our minds.
This is a rather miraculous thing, because I have never met a ghost with such a language barrier, and Xiao Chengqian is probably the same, so he chose this more "dangerous" method.
From the beginning of Xiao Chengqian's conversation with this ghost, we discovered this problem. The language that the ghost conveyed to our minds turned out to be a piece of "Jili Guala", and we couldn't understand the specific meaning at all. Fortunately, the communication between people and ghosts, and even more
It is close to consciousness communication and feeling communication, so we can clearly feel its emotions and some simple meanings it wants to express, just like it can understand what we mean, but it cannot communicate with us in our language.
Now that we have put forward the conditions, if we want to know what happened in the cave, they can only adopt this method, which is like a way of 'dreaming', directly showing what happened in their 'recollections' before our eyes.
, but compared to entrusting dreams, this method obviously consumes more soul power.
As for Xiao Chengqian and I, we must fully let go of our soul defenses before accepting this kind of communication.
Therefore, this is a dangerous method, which will greatly 'contain' both parties, but fortunately Xiao Chengqian and I are sure of everything.
In this way, we fell into a special 'dream', maintaining only a trace of clarity in our hearts. Like two spectators, we began to live in the brightened cave in the dream.
After fully adapting, we, Xiao Chengqian, were finally able to clearly see everything in the cave. But with just one glance, Xiao Chengqian and I were shocked because we didn't expect that we could see such a 'shock' at just the first glance.
scene.
Because at this moment, there were blazing bonfires lit in the four corners of the cave, which illuminated the entire cave. In the middle area surrounded by the bonfires, a group of people were kneeling.
What a weird bunch of people!
They were wearing scary-looking bronze masks, shouting strange languages, and were currently worshiping toward the water pool in the cave!
