Tong Yao lowered her head and thought for a while before saying, "It's nothing to tell you. You know, you know why I said that!"

Zhou Tian nodded and changed his legs slightly. This position made his legs feel a little numb.

"Our forest is too big. Not only are there wild animals in the mountains, but also people who are more dangerous than wild animals. Those people are similar to poaching, and they have been lingering in the forest and have connections with poaching and smuggling people." Tong Yao said.

Zhou Tian remembered the group of poachers he met in Tianchi before, and saved the Xiaohu family and caught the poachers.

And there were unexpected gains.

"We called these people a long time ago, we called them beards or bandits." Tong Yao said.

"There are still bandits now?" Zhou Tian said in surprise.

Tong Yao smiled, "It's always there, but the times have changed, and their methods of doing evil have also been different. The people in the city call them criminals. Because the place is too big, they are elusive and have almost been forgotten!"

"Then the police don't care?"

"The police have limited power. They live here all year round. No matter how many people the police come, it is difficult to find them!"

"I really didn't expect it!" Zhou Tian sighed. The word bandit was seen on TV. He didn't expect that there was actually some in real life. "Then why did they target you and Uncle Zhang? I heard that they finally talked about the soul-suming bell. What do they want that thing for?"

"Do you actually know the soul-summoning bell?" Tong Yao looked at Zhou Tian with a smile, "That's just the legendary shaman's magic weapon! For ordinary people, it's useless. Will it be heard under the eaves?"

This was half-joking, and Zhou Tian couldn't help but be happy, "You can't say they just want to use it to hear it!"

"You kid!" Tong Yao also smiled, sighed slightly, reached out to take out a cloth bag from her arms, "That's it!"

Zhou Tian was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Tong Yao believed him so much and showed him what the bad guys wanted.

The navy blue cloth slowly opened, and a bell with a handle appeared inside.

This bell is different from what you have seen before. It is about thirty centimeters long and has a handle on it. It is engraved with complex patterns and incomprehensible words. There are also several skeletons on it. Behind the skeletons are patterned symbolizing the sun, and the hanging bells inside are also engraved with patterns.

The whole bell emits a thick halo, and there are several colorful feathers on the handle. They are tied to the handle by a smooth and slightly worn leather rope, which looks like it is about to fly in the halo.

"Is this bronze?" Zhou Tian asked with his head raised.

Tong Yao looked at Zhou Tian with a smile, "This is the earliest magic weapon passed down from our shamanism!"

"How early? During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, bronze was prevalent. Could it be..." Zhou Tian said.

"That's right, maybe it's even earlier than that, it's not accurate!" Tong Yao said as she looked at the bell in her hand.

Zhou Tian also looked down at the bell. The bronze felt heavy. There was no green rust on his body when it was unearthed. Instead, it seemed like someone else had taken it for a long time, with a dark red color on it.

"It has a long history. It is said to be the first generation of shamans. It has been in my hands for more than a thousand generations!"

More than a thousand generations of shamans!

Zhou Tian was shocked and couldn't speak, but he still couldn't help but have questions in his heart, what exactly those people were going to do for this bell!

"Those people want this, not only because it is considered an antique now, but also because he really has magic power to summon souls!" Tong Yao said.

"Can't it be said that the legend is true?" Zhou Tian, ​​who had received strict materialism education, was already immune to these mysterious things after he received the inheritance of the old god in the jade gourd.

"Don't you believe it?" Tong Yao looked at Zhou Tian with a smile, "Many people don't believe it! But it's true!"

Zhou Tian can understand the ascension of gods and immortals, but it is difficult to believe the sayings about ghosts.

After all, in a sense, the ancients practiced to become immortals was an ordinary person who turned himself into an existence that was superior to ordinary people through a means. In the end, it was still human.

But ghosts are different. They can’t touch and see. Where are they usually? Does the underworld really exist?

"It's not that I don't believe it, but what you said is really hard for people to believe!" Zhou Tian said with a little dry mouth, "Is there really a ghost?"

Tong Yao smiled and looked out the window, "Many things are hard to explain! Although the soul-suming exists, the price paid is also very high, so of course such things rarely happen, and it is difficult for people outside to see them!"

This is unclear. Tong Yao means that there must be ghosts, but ordinary people cannot see them. Only by using the soul-summoning ring to summon souls can it work. Similarly, the price to pay is very high, and even they will not do it easily.

Zhou Tian unconsciously remembered what Liu Shun told him.

"Is it right? My master used this back then..." Zhou Tian asked tentatively.

Tong Yao smiled, and this time she was extremely happy, "Don't ask! You can take this back to your master, and it's not safe to put it here. Besides, the shaman teachings will not be there in the future until they reach my place!"

"Not there anymore?" Zhou Tian had too many questions this night, and his mind was a little overwhelmed. "Don't you still have Tong Shun? Can he let him inherit the Dharma!"

"He should be the ordinary person he likes! It's not something that anyone can do when he is a shaman!" Tong Yao shook her head with a smile.

Yes, the Shamanism seems to be hard to find in the outside world. Even if Tong Yao is a shamanist wizard, wouldn’t she still stay in this deep mountain forest?

It is really difficult to accept something that everyone thinks is superstitious if someone has received formal education from the outside world.

"There is no problem with this, so you haven't told me what those bandits want this soul-summoning bell to do?" Zhou Tian continued this topic.

Before, when he asked, Tong Yao changed the subject.

Seeing that he was still chasing this issue, Tong Yao sighed, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but that I don't want you to get into trouble!"

"I'm not afraid! Tell me, I will determine the pros and cons after hearing this, and will not cause any trouble!" Zhou Tian said.

After hearing the reassurance given by Zhou Tian, ​​Tong Yao nodded, "You are the same as your master, and you want to take care of everything you see!" Her smile was filled with a hint of relief, "Didn't you tell you? This is a soul-suming bell, he can be soul-suming!"

Zhou Tian nodded, "That's right! But... do you mean, who do they want to call back the soul of which person?"

"That's right!" Tong Yao nodded, "Their biggest bandit leader was seriously ill more than ten years ago, and he thought of this. Maybe they have any taboo methods! Using the soul-summoning bell, it must be a soul-living. Those who have just died can be saved with human blood. Those who have been in their lives will have to sacrifice live animals after three days, and those who have been in their lives will have to sacrifice live people after seven days. But those who have died for a long time will not know how many people who have sacrificed their lives. They want to go against the will of heaven. I will sacrifice my life and will not let this happen!"

Zhou Tian was really scared. He had only seen a burial pit in the dungeon. It was more than 3,000 years ago. It was shocking at that time, not to mention that in today's society, there are still many living people who use living people! It's simply crazy!

"Aunt Tong, don't worry, with me here, they won't succeed!" Zhou Tian said seriously.

"They are so persistent about summoning souls. I guess they have used some secret method to find someone who is in line with possession!" Tong Yao sighed and said, "It's a sin!"

Occupation?

What is that?

"Did you mean possession look like a ghost's body?" Zhou Tian asked.

"It's different. If it's Taoism or Buddhism, what you might encounter is a temporary ghost body, and what the shaman says is a lifelong possession!"

"What?" Zhou Tian couldn't help but scream. Isn't this the body-taking written in the novel? "It really is?"

Tong Yao looked at Zhou Tian who was shocked and couldn't help laughing again, "If you don't tell you, you just don't want you to be scared, why? You're really scared?"

"No, no, I just knew it too suddenly. I didn't expect that such a thing would really exist!" Zhou Tian quickly explained.

Everything I know tonight really subverts my previous perception.

"Don't worry, if you bring this to your master, he knows how to deal with it. If it comes to his hands, those people will have no choice, and the things you are worried about will not happen!" Tong Yao wrapped the bell and handed it to Zhou Tian.

Zhou Tian looked at the blue cloth bag in his hand in complicated manner, "Aunt Tong, have you really decided?"

"I decided! In this world, I only believe in him!" Tong Yao said.

Zhou Tian exhaled, "Then aren't you really going to Kyoto with me?"

Tong Yao smiled and shook her head, "Can't go!"

"Then it! I'll call, can you say a few words to my master? I don't want him to get old, so what regrets do you have!" Zhou Tian looked at Tong Yao with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

He also knew that the older generation had never told him what the relationship between them was like, but now he really only had one thought, that is, he could not leave a trace of regret for Liu Shun.

After his parents passed away, only Liu Shun took him as a parent-child, which is why he tried hard to make this matter successful.

Tong Yao thought for a long time before nodding.

Zhou Tian quickly took out the phone, regardless of whether it was now, Liu Shun slept or not, and called him in one call.

"Ah Zhou Tian! It's so late, is there anything wrong?" Liu Shun's voice came out of the phone.

For some reason, Zhou Tian was a little excited, "Master, I have found Uncle Zhang and Aunt Tong!"

"What did you say?" Liu Shun on the other end seemed even more excited than Zhou Tian. Zhou Tian heard the sound of something coming from the phone falling to the ground.

"I'll give the phone to Aunt Tong now, wait!" After that, Zhou Tian handed the phone to Tong Yao, but he himself went downstairs and put on his shoes and went to another room.

"Uncle Zhang!" As soon as I entered the room, Zhou Tian saw Zhang Linsheng sitting on the kang and Heiying, saying something, "Aunt Tong and my master are talking on the phone. I will ask you to talk to him later! If you have anything to say, you should think about it first!"

"Your master?" Sure enough, Zhang Linsheng was also very excited and looked at the other end, "What did your Aunt Tong tell you?"

"I didn't say anything about the past, I just told the story of that group of bandits!" Zhou Tian said.

Zhang Linsheng nodded, "She is this personality!"

Zhou Tian didn't know whether he was talking about Tong Yao or what Tong Yao said, so he nodded.

On the other side, Tong Yao and Liu Shun didn't know what they said, but it took a long time to say it. After an hour, Tong Yao's voice came from there, "Zhou Tian!"

Zhou Tian hurried over and saw Tong Yao's eyes flushing slightly. She handed Zhou Tian the phone, "Go and rest! I'm going to sleep too!"

Zhou Tian nodded, took the phone number, and helped Tong Yao bring her back to the house.

The phone was a little hot, and there was only one grid left. Zhou Tian took the Black Hawk's phone and called Liu Shun again.

"Master!" Zhou Tian shouted.

"Oh Zhou Tian!" Liu Shun's voice seemed a little powerless, and there was a hint of unspeakable hoarseness.

"I'll give the phone to Uncle Zhang now, talk to Uncle Zhang!" After Zhou Tian said that, he handed the phone to Zhang Linsheng and gave Tong Shun and Heiying a wink.

"Tong Shun, take us to a toilet!" Black Eagle said.

"Oh, here we come!" Tong Shun slowed down for a second before reacting, quickly got off the ground, and the three of them put on their coats and went out.

In the room, Zhang Linsheng and Liu Shun were left alone to talk.
