The master said that it cannot be said to be a ghost, but a type of ghost formed by the accumulation of many yin, resentment, and hostility under witchcraft. There is no specific name, but the only purpose of its existence is to block those who enter. The first time I saw it was through the crack next to the rotten stone door. It looked at us walking towards the stone gate through the crack in the door.
At that time, Senior Qin thought that he was just a gatekeeper and didn't take it to heart. As soon as he opened the door, the ghost rushed out at a very fast speed, knocking Senior Qin back a few steps. . As he stepped back, he bumped into me one after another. When I was about to dodge, I was grabbed by Senior Qin who was falling to the ground, and then he threw me towards the female ghost.
Master emphasized, he really pushed me hard and used me as his human shield. And given his level, since he did this, it shows that he is also aware of the danger. And when I wanted to understand this, my body was already weightless, and I was suddenly thrown to the ground by the ghost.
The master looked sad, as if recalling the scene at that time, even a master like him was still frightened. He said that the ghost did not have a specific and accurate appearance, but the appearance of all living beings. In other words, although it has a human form, its face is ever-changing. Sometimes it is a man, sometimes a woman, sometimes an old man, sometimes a child. When he was thrown to the ground, the ghost's face was less than a foot in front of him. The face is like a film that has been worn out, and the displayed image is mechanically stuck. And every time it gets stuck, it changes its face. Master said, it's just that those different faces all have the same expression, they are smiling and grinning, and their lips are blood red. As for the eyes, Master said that they are the most terrifying eyes he has ever seen in his life. The eyeballs look... It's completely black, without the whites of the eyes. But the position of the pupils was shining with a yellow radiating light that was a little darker than the flames.
Just by looking at that eye, you will be attracted immediately, because the shape is so wonderful, even if you are in danger, you will be fascinated instantly. But the master was a man of foundation and knew the consequences of having his eyes replaced by a ghost, so he immediately forced himself to clear his head and closed his eyes. At this moment, a sharp pain came from his chest. Such pain forced the master to He had to open his eyes. In this way, the master was not only captured by the ghost's eyes, but also saw that the ghost was holding a copper weapon with a cross blade in his hand, and was slowly and forcefully pressing down on the ground, stabbing. Entered the master's chest.
Master told me that the pain at that time was excruciating, and soon he heard two crisp sounds. He knew that it was the sound of his own bones breaking. After a sudden burst of pain, the master fell unconscious. When he woke up again, he found that he was being dragged in the opposite direction towards the entrance of the cave. Only then did he realize that it was Senior Qin who was dragging his feet on the ground with one hand, while Senior Qin's other hand was dragging him along the ground. The entire sleeve of one hand was torn to pieces, and there were several bleeding wounds on the exposed arm. One arm was covered in blood.
Just sitting next to Master and listening to his dictation, I was so frightened that I was covered in sweat. He couldn't help but squeeze the quilt on Master's hospital bed with both hands. Master pretended to be relaxed and smiled and said, if Senior Qin and I are ten years younger, we can deal with that ghost. But people have to submit to old age, this is the fate of seeking death.
The master said that although Senior Qin helped set the bones and suture the wound after that, it was a traumatic injury after all and only damaged the internal organs, so it would be very time-consuming to nurse him back. Through this setback, Master also knew that the person in front of him was not a close friend, so he left with an excuse after his injury improved. But after all, he was spotted by a ghost, and all kinds of things went wrong with his body. This person, who was originally quite peaceful, suddenly felt like a firecracker exploded in his head when he got up one day, and he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. Master told me that the doctor’s diagnosis said that I had burst out because I woke up too hard, my blood surged, and I failed to evacuate in time. He smiled wryly and spread his hands, saying that no one knew whether that was the case.
Our master and apprentice were chatting, and soon it was evening. Generally speaking, it was time for the patients to go to bed at this time, but perhaps my arrival made the master a little excited. He continued to talk about other things, including asking me questions.
As I said, Master is the closest person to me in this world. In the same way, the same is true for me. In my opinion, the main reason for what happened to the master was not that he was inferior in skill, but that he was deliberately affected by it. I even think that from the moment Senior Qin agreed to let his master dig the hole with him, he was secretly plotting to find an opportunity to get rid of my master, even though my master was just curious about the sealed soul of the Witch King.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Even though he had known for a long time that this person had a weird temper, this was really too much. So that night, after I fell asleep while taking care of my master, around 11 o'clock in the evening, I explained to the nurse and asked her to help take care of my master, and then I left the health station.
There was no transportation available, so I just kept running. My heart was filled with an uncontrollable anger, not only because of Master, but also because of myself. Along the way, I went straight to Senior Qin’s home. When I arrived at his door, I didn't knock on the door. Instead, I kicked open the old wooden door. I knew in my heart that since I was far from my opponent in mystical skills, I would use brute force. As long as he got me close, I would beat this old guy up. So when I kicked open the door, I held my fists in both hands and walked straight into the back room.
Under the weak red candlelight in the back room, I saw a wooden thing standing on the ground like a branch in the corner of the room. Ganmu is hovering above. Maybe it was my sudden intrusion that prevented it from reacting. It just raised its head and looked at me in astonishment, without making any other movement. On the ground, on the right side of the door, there was a sword hanging on the wall, which was the same one that slashed my wooden supporter. The bed was completely pulled away, revealing a large dark hole on the ground. There was a piece of four pieces beside the hole. The square wooden board seemed to be used to cover the hole.
I thought to myself that it was probably the hole that Master said they dug together. Normally, I would have been full of curiosity, but now, every cell in my body was occupied by anger, so I jumped into the hole and covered the wooden board to prevent Ganmu from catching up. Then everything went dark and I had to take out a flashlight and shine it.
This was a hole about as wide as the mouth of a well. The position where I jumped was about one meter sixty-seven meters from the original height of the ground in the house. And because I didn’t measure the depth and strength when I jumped, my whole heel hit the ground when I landed. It was a violent meal that made my cheeks sore from the bite of my teeth. But I didn't care much. Under the illumination of the flashlight, I saw a small hole with a slight slope at my feet. There was a stake driven at the entrance of the hole, and a rope ladder was placed on the stake. Just from a tilted perspective, there is no need to use tools like a rope ladder, but I still walked down the rope ladder step by step.
Maybe it was because I was full of impatience and anger when I ran all the way, but now in the cave, due to the environment, my movements and rhythm had to slow down. In addition, the surroundings were pitch black, and the white light flashing from the flashlight was the only thing I could see at the moment. After walking along the winding hole for a while, my mood gradually calmed down. Although I was still angry, The extremely angry feeling before was gone.
The narrow tunnel made it impossible for me to pass quickly, and because when I was digging, I often had to change my route because of big rocks, so I took a lot of detours. I walked like this for about ten minutes, and then through the light of the flashlight from a distance, I discovered that there seemed to be a larger space at the end of the cave. Since I couldn't tell the difference between high and low along the way, I just felt that the air was moist and smelled of earth. For some reason, my eardrums also suffered from repeated hearing loss caused by pressure. But when I reached the end of the passage, I heard a whisper.
Could it be that after senior Qin kicked my master, he knew in his heart that my master could no longer help him, so he found another helper? This place is quite far away from the entrance of the cave. If I return to the ground now and block the entrance of the cave with a pile of soil, he will never see the light of day again. Although it is a bit cruel, it can be regarded as revenge for me. Revenge for the master's serious injury. But as the saying goes, a gentleman is upright, and after this despicable method flashed through my mind, I gave up the idea.
Hearing whispers meant that there must be at least two people on the other side. Otherwise, would there be any need for me to talk clearly to myself? Against an old man like Senior Qin, I still have a chance of winning with brute force alone, but if another person is added to attack from both front and back, it will be hard to say.
To be on the safe side, after I got into the slightly open space, I put out the flashlight, put my hand on the wall, and walked quietly towards the direction of the sound. The wall felt hard to the touch, but the surface was very moist. I can still touch moss from time to time, which means that although this wall is buried underground, it is not in direct contact with the soil. Otherwise, what I feel should be soil instead of moss. Judging from the ravines above, I thought they were made of larger stones. There were many ravines carved by chisels. As I walked along the wall while holding on to the wall, I discovered that every seven or eight steps, You will touch an obvious corner with a large angle and sharp edges.
If you guessed correctly, if you look down, the entire outer wall here should be an equidistant octagon, in the shape of a trigram.
