"If these villagers were not turned into ghosts by the Yinsi or the Hidden Spirit Clan, then maybe they turned themselves into ghosts themselves?"
Lu Qingzhao walked to a tablet, touched the dust on it, rubbed his fingers gently and said, "If that's the case! Then why did they do this?"
"If you become a fierce ghost, won't you have no peace after death?"
"Setting up a memorial tablet probably means that they have already thought about their ending."
Zhang Junmo said: "It's just that Brother Leng didn't die that day, but survived. He had a physical condition before, and there was a powerful burst of cold energy that put him in a deep coma."
"I'm wondering if it has something to do with the tablets here!"
"Cold air? That's right! I remember that a powerful cold air erupted from Li Gui just now, instantly freezing all the blood and strength in my body! I didn't even have the strength to resist."
At this time, a young man spoke.
This person is the member of Longting whom Zhang Junmo rescued before.
"That's right! The fierce ghost I met just now also possesses powerful cold energy. It seems to have the same origin as the freezing rules of this extremely cold realm!"
"The same is true for what we just encountered!"
Several members of the Dragon Court also stood up and said.
They were all people who had previously walked into the house to explore and encountered the evil ghost.
They are still frightened by their previous experiences.
The moment they were attacked by the devil, all their strength was frozen and they completely lost their ability to resist.
"So, maybe Brother Leng had to go back to the village to find a solution because of the cold air. He happened to meet people from those major forces, so he was trapped here?"
"It stands to reason that with the strength of the Cold Flame Destroyer Realm, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with a group of people in the Out of Body Realm!"
Lu Qingzhao asked doubtfully at this time.
"Especially since this is an extremely cold realm. He was born here and will not be invaded by the power of rules and can exert his full strength. But those people may not be able to do the same."
"Perhaps it was the burst of cold air in his body that made him in a very bad condition at that time! The cold air in his body was far more powerful than the cold air on those ghosts just now!"
As Zhang Junmo spoke, he asked Xing'er in his mind: "Xing'er, the mini map has a God's perspective. Can it allow me to see some things that ordinary people can't see?"
"I mean, the tablets here may have something special, but I can't see anything unusual. The tablets may not be defined as teammates or enemies, so I want to ask if there are any clues that can be detected on the mini map."
"Oh! You mean the tablet position!"
"There's a thread on this thing, don't you see?"
Xing'er's words immediately stunned Zhang Junmo.
Wire?
Then, his perspective switched to the mini map.
Although he was still looking at his body at this time, the scene he saw in his eyes was completely different from that of his body!
The tablet in front of him exuded a strange and twisted black energy!
Vaguely, there seemed to be figures looming in the black air.
And at the lower end of the tablet, there is a line, which hangs down to the ground along the spiritual tablet frame, and is submerged in it, extending to no one knows where.
This line does not only exist on a certain tablet, but on all of them!
"This is……"
Zhang Junmo was a little stunned.
My attention had been on Li Gui before, and I didn't notice the lines on these tablets.
The main reason is that these lines are too thin and not noticeable.
The only strange thing is that these twisted black energy seemed to have not appeared when they were outside the door at first!
"There seem to be many spirits residing in these tablets, and those spirits are connected to something outside through those lines."
Xing'er's voice came out again, and Zhang Junmo suddenly thought of a lot.
Live in a spirit body and connect with the outside world!
That is
Are you saying that these are the real souls of the villagers?
So, what are those evil spirits?
Zhang Junmo's perspective expanded and he looked at the entire village again.
Figures wandered around the village, some were stiff and decaying corpses, and some looked like illusory spiritual bodies.
"Hmm...this should be similar to a clone method!"
"When a cultivator reaches the state of dividing the spirit, can't he divide his soul and create a clone? And it is not difficult to separate a part of the spirit body."
"I understand!"
Xing'er's words made Zhang Junmo think everything through.
"The villagers set up memorial tablets while they were alive so that their souls could have something to rely on after death."
"Then they use the tablets to separate the power of the spirit body and turn it into a ghost to protect the village! To prevent uninvited guests from breaking into the village and touching something they don't want outsiders to come into contact with!"
"And this thing..."
"Maybe it's some ruins!"
Originally, everyone had a lot of speculations about what existed here.
But until they arrived at the center of the village, no trace of anyone was found!
In addition, Zhang Junmo's mini-map was not even detected, which can only indicate one possibility!
Leng Yan and the others from the four major forces are no longer in this space!
As for the location of this ruins, it is most likely related to that house!
Zhang Junmo explained his reasoning to everyone again.
Then, someone proposed to explore the house.
"Right now, fierce ghosts are surrounding this ancestral hall. Although they have not attacked us, it is difficult for us to leave here."
"It's not that easy to fight your way out from these evil ghosts!"
At this time, someone looked at the tablets next to them and said coldly: "Since the souls of those villagers live in these tablets, it's better for us to destroy these tablets!"
"Once the main body is destroyed, those evil ghosts should also dissipate!"
"No!"
Lu Qingzhao frowned slightly and said: "These villagers were Leng Yan's relatives and friends before they were alive. The purpose of our coming here was to rescue Leng Yan. But before we even saw the others, we exterminated the spirits of his relatives and friends first. What's the matter?"
"First of all, things haven't gotten that bad yet. Although these ghosts are somewhat dangerous, the threat is limited as long as we are prepared. The main thing is Leng Yan. We have to find him first!"
"Indeed! Destroying the tablets and exterminating the spirits inside is a bad idea! From the perspective of the villagers, turning into ghosts after death and guarding the village from outsiders is actually a very worthwhile approach. An act of admiration.”
Xia Yubing also nodded and said: "Moreover, even if the tablet is destroyed, the evil ghosts outside may not disappear! Maybe, it will make those evil ghosts completely lose control!"
After hearing what they said, the person who suggested destroying the tablet sighed helplessly: "You two are right, I'm sorry, I thought too simply!"
"It's not that difficult to break out of the siege of fierce ghosts."
"However, it is obviously impossible for everyone to leave at once. That would be too big a goal! Only a few people can be selected to go to the ghost-free house, and the fewer people, the safer it is!"
After Xia Yubing spoke, he saw everyone looking over and continued, "Of course, everyone is participating in the selection of the inheritance sequence. In order for everyone to play their role, the most reasonable way is for the two teams to cooperate with each other."
"How to cooperate?"
Hearing Xia Yubing mention that everyone can play a role obviously aroused everyone's interest.
After all, this is not just a rescue operation.
They all have their own goals, so that they can make achievements in this operation, get a higher evaluation, and be selected for the inheritance sequence!
"For the sake of fairness, we will draw lots to select the team that will go to that house. The other group will stay here."
"First, the people who stay here attract the attention of the ghosts, constantly harass and contain the ghosts, and let the ghosts gather in one place. Then, the team heading to the house takes advantage of the ghosts' attention being distracted to attack from the weak points of the ghosts' defense. Breakout!"
"Then, those who stayed in the ancestral hall will walk out of the formation from other directions to harass and attract the attention of the evil ghosts in other directions, and try to hold back as many evil ghosts as possible!"
"The village is not big, and it only takes a short moment to rush into the house from the ancestral hall."
"As long as you're not held back by a ghost, there won't be much danger."
After Xia Yubing finished speaking, everyone thought for a moment.
To put it bluntly, it's just a matter of making a fool of yourself in the east and attacking in the west.
Li Gui has no human intelligence, only killing instinct and rules.
Protecting the village is their code of conduct.
So as long as someone takes away the hatred first, it can create opportunities for those who leave later.
"But what if when we get to that mansion, those evil ghosts chase after us at all costs? Wouldn't those who go to the mansion be surrounded?"
After pondering for a moment, someone raised an objection.
"Yes! If the evil ghosts swarm up at that time, the team going to the house will not have time to set up a new formation, which will be dangerous!"
"It's better than this!"
At this time, Zhang Junmo suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.
"I'm here to lure away the evil ghost! All of you, go to the mansion together!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.
"Holy crap! Jun Mo, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"There are so many ferocious ghosts out there. Do you go out alone and seek death? That's not just one or two ghosts, but nearly five hundred ghosts!"
Gao Shengzhong was the first to speak.
Lu Qingzhao and Xia Yubing also raised objections.
"Brother Jun Mo, this is no joke! If you go out alone, if you get entangled..."
"Brother Jun Mo, I'm afraid this matter needs long-term consideration! If you are allowed to take risks alone, how can we be embarrassed?"
Zhang Junmo smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to die!"
After thinking about it, Zhang Junmo simply released his power.
First there was a flash of thunder, then a dazzling light, and then the terrifying fire of darkness!
Seeing the attribute power released by Zhang Junmo, everyone fell silent.
Jealousy envy hate ah!
The thunder element has powerful attributes comparable to those of the sword element. It possesses extremely violent and powerful destructive power and can restrain evil spirits!
The light system not only has the power of purification, warmth, and redemption, but it can also become hot, dazzling, and eliminate evil!
And that dark red flame, although it was of the fire element, showed a terrifying coercion that was not weaker than the thunder element!
It even makes people feel that Zhang Junmo's thunder power may not be as good as that dark red flame!
Zhang Junmo was relieved of his job at this moment and became unemployed.
Although he lost professional skills, professional talents and increases, he gained the attribute power activated by all professions!
In this state, Zhang Junmo's strength may not be weaker than in professional state!
Zhang Junmo's method of attracting evil spirits is very simple.
He has a title!
The two titles "Come here" and "Controller of Destiny" both have the effect of increasing the hatred value of ghosts and ghosts against the wearer of the title by 20%!
And the title of Controller of Destiny can also reduce the hatred value!
After he left, he planned to increase his hatred value first, and then walk around the ancestral hall to attract all the ghosts around him, as far away as possible.
As for the danger issue.
To be honest, Zhang Junmo basically has no fear of Li Gui now.
Not to mention how strong his attribute power is, let's just say that he is now a physical practitioner, with a strong body and terrifying health. Coupled with the effect of the title, the ghosts are almost no threat to him!
"have
With these powers for self-defense, no matter how many ghosts there are, they will not dare to get close! Unless, among these evil ghosts there is someone whose strength far exceeds mine! "
Today, he is no longer the newbie he was back then, who was cautious in what he said and did. Instead, he exudes confidence in his words and deeds!
The power of these ghosts comes from the rules here, and at most they threaten the level of the out-of-body realm.
Surrounded by the fire of darkness, those evil ghosts could not touch Zhang Junmo's body at all.
That's because Li Gui has a strong instinctive fear when facing the fire of darkness!
"I understand everyone's concerns, but time waits for no one. The rules here are still eroding each of us. Although we have potions in hand, the quantity is limited and we cannot delay it for too long."
"Everyone is together. If we are attacked by a demon when we get there, we can allocate manpower to delay the attack until a defensive formation is set up!"
Time waits for no one, that’s true.
Even in the village, the freezing rules are still invading everyone's body.
It's just that in this tense environment, no one cares.
"Okay! Everyone!"
"Do you still have any objections to Brother Jun Mo's proposal?"
Lu Qingzhao looked at the others and asked aloud.
Everyone nodded in agreement without much hesitation.
There is no need to waste too much time making plans, as no one knows what changes will happen next.
Everyone has their own ideas, and everyone has to take risks.
As mentioned before, although Li Gui is in trouble, everyone is not in a desperate situation. It is obviously impossible for Zhang Junmo to sacrifice himself for this.
So everyone chose trust.
Of course, everyone accepted Zhang Junmo's affection this time, and their favorable impression of him increased a lot.
To be able to take the initiative to face many evil ghosts alone, this courage alone is unparalleled.
Zhang Junmo saw the system prompt, which was a change in the favorability manual.
But he hadn't paid attention to the favorability manual for a long time, and now was not the time to care about it.
After the plan was finalized, everyone was ready to go.
"Jun Mo, don't worry, I will take good care of your uncle and aunt for you!"
Before leaving, Gao Shengzhong patted Zhang Junmo on the shoulder very seriously and said.
"Go away! Can you please treat me better?"
Zhang Junmo rolled his eyes, then looked at the people behind him and said, "Everyone, be careful!"
"You are the one, so be careful and don't fall into the trap of evil ghosts!"
Xia Yubing frowned slightly and ordered.
For the first time, he felt that ice-based techniques seemed to have great limitations.
Because of the ice-based skills, there is absolutely no restraint against evil spirits! This feeling of being powerless at a critical moment made Xia Yubing feel very uncomfortable!
After nodding, Zhang Junmo rushed out without any more nonsense.
Wear the title "The Controller of Destiny".
With a thought, Zhang Junmo's hatred towards the surrounding ghosts directly increased by 20%!
This effect can be called an all-round provocation skill.
In an instant, the strange figures swarmed towards him!
