Chapter 32
Seeing Shen Jiuer pampering me and shouting while retreating away, I was also shocked and quickly ran in Shen Jiuer's direction.
As soon as he ran in front of Shen Jiuer, he was grabbed by her. At the same time, he looked nervously at the terrifying tunnel filled with corpses in front of him. After a long while, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Seven, use your ghost eyes to see Is there anything unusual ahead?"
I don't know what Shen Jiu'er is worried about, but I still show my ghost eyes again according to Shen Jiu'er's words. The originally dim sight suddenly became clear, except that the corpses became more and more... Other than that, I didn't find anything special.
I shook my head at Shen Jiu'er, indicating that she didn't notice anything unusual. Shen Jiu'er's expression finally calmed down. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said to me: "Fortunately, this ghost's power has been disabled." Otherwise, I’m afraid we both have to answer here today!”
"The devil is in charge?", after hearing Shen Jiuer's words, I asked quickly.
Shen Jiuer nodded: "It should be ghosts. It can't be wrong. It seems that some shamans built this place back then!"
"Shaman!"
When I heard Liu Tieyi talk about the three historical gaps in the Yinxing Division before, I heard him mention that the second historical gap was mainly caused by the shaman.
"Is this what you were looking for just now?" Shen Jiuer asked me, pointing to the ghost-like rune on the end of an iron pick.
I nodded: "Well, I took a rough look at it. Each iron sign has the same rune. What does this rune mean?"
"This should be a kind of curse seal in shamanic secrets that represents soul locking!" Shen Jiuer answered to me.
"Soul lock? Is it used to calm the soul?" I continued to ask Shen Jiu'er.
Shen Jiuer shook his head: "You should know that the entire world is made up of yin and yang. The body is made up of yang energy, and the soul is made up of yin energy. After death, because of the connection between yin and yang, When it is cut off, the feminine soul will separate from the masculine body at will, which is what we call the soul leaving the body. In this case, the separation of the soul from the body is relatively peaceful, and these feminine soul energies cannot be separated from the body. If it remains in the earthly world for too long, it will gradually dissipate and reintegrate into the new reincarnation, which is what we often call reincarnation."
"In some cases, such as a person who died unexpectedly, because he left a strong resentment before his death, causing the soul to be filled with heavier hostility, the negative soul energy will have a trace of Yang energy, which is difficult to dissipate and cannot be When integrated into reincarnation, they will form what we call lonely ghosts, and in more serious cases, they will turn into fierce ghosts."
"The function of the soul-suppressing talisman is to suppress the soul of such a person who died violently or was angry in the body to prevent the soul from turning into a ghost after leaving the body; and the soul-suppressing talisman often serves as this Another use is that those who want to live forever are worried that their souls will dissipate, so they keep their souls in their bodies through soul-suppressing talismans, waiting for the right time to resurrect; but more often, they become someone else. One state is zombie!"
"Soul-Calling Talismans are good for the soul.
When it reaches a certain protective effect, during the process of the soul-suppressing talisman taking effect, the soul is also in a closed unconscious state, unable to feel the state of the outside world, and the damage to the soul is not great. If it were not for some other circumstances, it would become a zombie or other states. , if these souls are transcended and the positive energy in them is eliminated, then these souls can return to the right path and re-enter reincarnation."
At this point, Shen Jiuer's expression suddenly became abnormal. After a moment of pause, he continued: "But this soul-locking seal is completely different. Under the action of the soul-locking seal, the body will not completely rot, but The soul continues to remain in the body, but during the entire process, the soul is in a conscious state."
"All souls are in a conscious state? Doesn't it mean that these souls can clearly feel the decay of their bodies and internal organs over the long years, and all the touches are present during the whole process.", thought. Here, my scalp can't help but feel numb. If this is really the case, then this kind of pain is simply more painful than Lingchi's execution.
Shen Jiuer nodded slowly: "Yes, so this kind of technique can no longer be described as cruel and inhumane. It can be said to be the annihilation of human nature. What is even more outrageous is that these shamans are creating After getting out of the Soul Locking Technique, I discovered that these souls sealed in the body are conscious existences. At the same time, after going through this painful process, they will produce more powerful anger, which is also harmful to ordinary people. It has a huge impact, and once it is contaminated, it will show symptoms such as madness, depression and other symptoms similar to being possessed by evil spirits."
"So they killed a large number of living people in an extremely cruel way, and then used soul-locking seals to lock their souls, and gathered these corpses together to form an evil barrier. Anyone who walked into these barriers would be The madness caused by the attack of hostility is like being possessed by a ghost, and this barrier is called the Ghost Road. Due to the special role of the Ghost Road, it was used by shamanism to protect important places such as imperial mausoleums and altars as soon as it came out. superior."
After listening to Shen Jiuer's narration, my fists were unconsciously tightened, and my body was shaking slightly due to excessive exertion. At this time, I can no longer describe the shock and shock in my heart. Looking at the endless corpses in my sight, my chest felt so tight. As if a hot flame was rising, I finally understood why Liu Bowen wanted to kill all these shamans. If it were me, I would make the same choice without hesitation.
Looking at my appearance, Shen Jiuer gently held my hand and said softly: "Brother Qi, you don't have to be too excited. The souls of these people should have been liberated!"
Hearing Shen Jiuer's words, I suddenly had a realization: "You just asked me to use the ghost eye just to see if there are ghosts?"
Shen Jiuer nodded: "Well, all ghosts are invisible in your ghost eyes. Since you can't see them, they must have been freed. Although this ghost's magic is extremely vicious, But the requirements for the conditions are also extremely harsh. Some hubs, or it can also be called formation eyes, are needed to maintain its stable state. I guess the formation eyes here are likely to have failed, so those souls can be freed. , otherwise we might have been tricked just now!"
After hearing Shen Jiuer's words, I felt a little relieved. Zhongya couldn't help but secretly exclaimed: "Is the thing we are looking for related to shamanism? From this place
Judging from Fang's choice and the layout of the ghost, it must have been a long time. It is obvious that this is an extremely important place for shamanism, or it is very likely that there is a secret of shamanism hidden here. But because of the antagonistic relationship between the Six Pillars and Shamanism, the person who led us here wants to achieve such a goal?"
After hearing my words, Shen Jiuer also fell into deep thought: "Brother Qi, do you think there might be some kind of trap here?"
Although I was full of doubts about this issue, thinking about what happened before, I still tried to strengthen my confidence: "Even if it is, I think we should find out. If that nursery rhyme is true, then We can't escape!"
"Nursery rhyme?" Shen Jiu'er looked at me strangely and asked.
It seems that Shen Donglei and Liu Tieyi did not tell Shen Jiuer about the nursery rhyme, so I briefly told Shen Jiuer what happened after Zheng Guangfa appeared, except for omitting the part about the ghostly face.
Shen Jiuer's eyes were filled with excitement when he heard this: "I did hear this nursery rhyme when I was a child, but I never thought there was such a secret hidden behind it. If this is true, then this should be the arrangement of fate, and we can't hide it. We can’t hide, Brother Qi, let’s find Three Monkeys and Brother Jun quickly, I also want to see what kind of secrets are hidden here.”
I nodded, and after checking the situation in front of me again with my ghost eyes, I came to the first corpse and held my hand on the slender iron stick.
"Brother Qi, be careful!" Shen Jiuer seemed to understand what I was thinking, but still reminded me with a little worry.
I nodded to Shen Jiuer, slowly exerted force on my arm, and with a soft sound mixed with friction, I finally pulled out the iron stick that had been nailed into the corpse for who knows how many years.
"Plop!"
Without the restraints of the iron sticks, the corpse suddenly slipped to the ground. At the same time, a burst of reddish-brown smoke rose from the corpse, and the bacon-like body on the corpse also evaporated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Brother Seven!" Shen Jiuer pulled me away and stared nervously at the scene in front of him.
I also carefully covered my mouth and nose, and quietly watched the changes in the corpse. In almost ten seconds, not only the muscles, but also the bones disappeared in the gaze of Shen Jiuer and I, except for the pile of cloth on the ground. Other than ordinary clothes proving his past existence, it was as if he had never appeared in this world.
Shen Jiuer and I couldn't hide our shock. If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, we would never have believed that in such a humid environment, this bacon-like corpse would be in a weathered state.
Shen Jiuer and I looked at each other, then walked to the next corpse and pulled out the iron sticks nailed to their bodies one by one. For a while, there was a soft sound of metal and the muffled sound of the corpse falling to the ground.
