Chapter 65: The Fog of the Hungry Ghost Tomb
There is one thing in the bamboo forest that I have always remembered about the crispy meat, a large wooden barrel built by my master for bathing. ()
In the words of crispy meat, half a small pond is gone.
When we returned to the mountain in a drizzle, the three of us were soaked, moist, and uncomfortable.
Master wants to take a bath, and I rely on Master to soak together.
Actually, when I was a child, I used to take a bath with Master, and in the past two years, there have been a lot fewer such things, but today, I really want to take a bath with Master.
Seeing that I was going to take a bath with Master, I didn't have to take a bath with the crispy meat, so I had to soak it together.
Master looked at the two of us, and each of us kicked him, but he still rolled up his sleeves and boiled the fragrant soup, and did not object to anything.
The barrel was indeed very large, and the three of us were on our own side, and we didn't seem crowded.
The smoke rose, and the unique aroma of the fragrant soup curled in the air, making people unconsciously relax, I sighed comfortably, and the sad mood just now also precipitated.
I glanced at the crispy meat, this kid didn't know where to get a handful of melon seeds, he was comfortably knocking on the melon seeds, looking very chic, and my master looked a little tired, leaning with his eyes closed, and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Crispy meat, if I find half a piece of melon seed skin in the water, I'll kick you out." Finally Master spoke.
Crispy Meat hurriedly threw the melon seeds out of his hand, and looked at my master with a flattering smile.
My master snorted lightly and said, "You can clean up here later." ”
Crispy Meat nodded busily and said, "Master Jiang, it's absolutely no problem, but you can tell us about the Hungry Ghost Tomb, right?" ”
I wiped my face with a handkerchief, and then said, "Master, tell me about it, why would people die?" ”
My master was silent for a while, and then said, "The reason for the dead is that we opened the coffin to take the ghost mother. ”
"The ghost mother is in the coffin?" I was taken aback.
"It was originally on the wall behind the coffin, but it flew into the coffin, and someone deliberately smashed a hole in the coffin." Master's voice froze.
Crispy Meat was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Jiang Ye, what are you doing with a mouth?" What kind of person is that? ”
"Smashing the mouth is just for us to open the coffin and wake up the zombies who have been sleeping inside, and the zombies will wake up as soon as they are angry."
"Master, you don't have a sentence without a sentence, can you finish it completely?" I'm also in a hurry, what zombies are so powerful, in the case of my master, Hui Jue, and Ling Qing's grandmother, two people are still dead.
"I'll talk about it after the shower." Master only said this, and closed his eyes again, and he could see that he was genuinely tired.
Compared with the excitement of the previous days, the bamboo forest building at this time has become a little deserted again, I think if it weren't for the crispy meat, it would be a little colder, right?
On the corridor, with a pot of tea and three chairs, we sat lazily like this, watching the drizzle outside, waiting for the master to tell us everything about the tomb of the hungry ghost.
After slowly swallowing a sip of tea soup, the master finally spoke: "Everything in the Hungry Ghost Tomb is a conspiracy, this person is very powerful, Jingdao method, witchcraft, Gu magic, I can't compare." If you fall into the calculation, you deserve it. ”
"Master, you always say that there is a heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the world, and you don't want to stand at the top, but in my years, you ask for what I want, and do your best, why do you also have the mind of comparison?" I couldn't help but speak.
"It's not a comparison, it's unwilling, I don't have the kind of blood that slays demons and destroys demons, after all, there are many causes and effects in this world. However, I know that what I have learned in my life cannot harm the world, and the person who built the tomb of the hungry ghost is for his own selfish interests, regardless of the consequences, what he has learned in his life is for himself, and he will not care about others, even if this human being is miserable. Our department exists, sometimes not only to prevent ghosts, but also to prevent people. As he spoke, Master's expression looked very tired, perhaps the Hungry Ghost Tomb had stimulated him too much.
"Jiang Ye, can Taoism still harm people?" Crispy Meat couldn't help but ask.
"If the mind is not right, the Tao is more dangerous than giving a child a pistol, if it is said to harm people, if the person with the wrong heart is clever in Taoism, he can make life miserable, such a thing, it has never happened, throughout the ages, it has always existed, but there have always been people like us, just stop it." Master sighed.
"What is the purpose of the man in the Hungry Tomb? Master, will you tell me more about it? "My heart is also trembling, I don't understand the crispy meat, but I understand, let's just say a simple formation, if I have the heart to put a formation in front of other people's doors, I can harm other people's family and chickens and dogs, if I am mad, I only want to be metaphysical in this life, break free from cause and effect, regardless of the next life, I can indeed do more crazy things.
A person who learns the Tao is most afraid of improper mental skills, and what he has learned can indeed kill people invisibly.
"The purpose? Huh, the purpose? Don't talk about the purpose, I can only say that he failed, this tomb was thrown down by him, if the hungry ghost worm poured out of the nest, he would not care about the consequences, even if the unformed hungry ghost king appeared in front of the world, it is estimated that he was just happy to watch the show. The hungry ghost king is useless, and the ghost mother is naturally useless, everything was thrown down by him. It's just that in case he is found by someone with a heart, he set up a bureau, killing people and killing people without leaving clues, this time entering the tomb of hungry ghosts, if it weren't for my bad premonition, with a talisman left by your ancestor in advance, we would have been wiped out. My master said heavily.
I gasped, that person was so strong that even my master was calculated like this, and he had to rely on the ancestor's talisman to escape from the Hungry Ghost Tomb?
The master seemed to see what I was thinking, and said: "It's not that he is powerful, it's that the ancient corpse is powerful, the ancient corpse that is close to a thousand years old, there is almost no weakness, at least it will be very difficult to deal with it with my means, Sanwa'er, you must always remember that once the zombie is not dealt with properly, it is difficult to deal with each one." ”
"Why?"
"Because zombies are special, in addition to being afraid of fire, they are almost not afraid of other physical injuries, they don't have a soul, only two spirits, so the attack effect of occult is also limited, and the power is infinite, especially the zombies who are old and old, they will also be agile in action, do you think, you are facing a guy who is invulnerable, infinitely powerful, and fast-moving, isn't it dangerous?"
Master's recounting of zombies scared me and Crispy Meat.
I couldn't help but ask, "Master, don't zombies have anything to be afraid of?" No weaknesses? ”
"Of course, zombies have things to be afraid of, but most of them are useless in folklore, and they have a certain restraint effect on zombies that have just formed, and they are useless when they are powerful, but it's useless, its weakness? If you can break the back of its head, or break its spine, you can kill it, but you hardly want a spine because its body is strong in its own right. In addition, there are many Taoist methods, but it takes time to prepare, and the most direct thing is to seal it with a breath of yang energy. "Master told me briefly.
After all, the occult is a long story, and it's a long story to deal with zombies or something, at least I understand, against zombies, the trick is almost useless, because it has no soul, it's just two souls hidden in the depths, the body is too strong, to destroy its spirit, I don't know how strong the mana is needed to support the trick.
"Jiang Ye, does that mean that you released the zombies? And then the big battle lasted three days and three nights? "It's terrible to think about it, after all, Master, they didn't come back until three days later.
Three nights and two days, to be exact.
"It's not that simple, we went down from that crack, I don't know who built the original ancient tomb, the tomb is hidden under the formation, and the gap is estimated to be on the tomb, the person who built the hungry ghost tomb, he is indeed a master, the location he is looking for happens to be a formation, if you don't open that gap and break the formation, it will almost take a few days to enter the ancient tomb." My master said lightly.
"Master, when you say that, I remember one thing, this ancient tomb was once a tomb robber who went down and was trapped and died in a stone chamber, just under that gap." I hurried to it.
"This is the providence of God, in fact, the secret room under that gap is the only safe place, that tomb robber really has some skills, find the door, enter the tomb, and escape, and can still find the only safe place. But he still has to thank the providence that he met the candle dragon wandering in the tomb first, instead of opening the coffin first, otherwise this area will become a new no-man's land. Master said heavily.
"What the hell is that zombie? So powerful? Master, you really fought with it for three days and three nights? I exclaimed, too.
