This is actually my suspicion, because after calming down just now, although I don't know what Qin Bukong and Songzi were thinking, at least I was thinking about this issue. But in fact, what I said is still somewhat inaccurate, because rather than saying that this is the true form of "Zhao", it is better to say that this is its true body. As long as under specific environments and conditions, thousands of demons and monsters can be formed, and what we encounter is just the true form of one of them.
Qin Bukong thought about it and felt that what I said was right. If we really encountered the true form of "Zhao", it might be able to explain why there were four identical ghosts, even the initial movements were the same. The main purpose of confusion is to confuse people, and the purpose of confusion is to make people unable to distinguish between true and false. From the moment we pry open the stone box, the various strange things that continue to emerge are actually a kind of long-term confusion. As we get closer to the source of confusion, the number will become larger and more aggressive. This explains why when we walked to the alley in front of Qin Bukong's house, those ghosts actually gathered in groups to attack. It was just because their true bodies happened to be in Qin Bukong's house.
And I have been thinking about how the "evil" entered the house.
Strictly speaking, ghosts like ghosts are a type of demon. Their level is higher than that of ghosts, but lower than that of ghosts. Maybe you want to ask what is the underworld, such as black and white impermanence, bull head and horse face, etc. Those who have a certain official position in the "underworld" are called underworld.
Of course, these are also legends. I have not seen it with my own eyes, and the people who have seen it probably have not survived. Therefore, for thousands of years, these so-called underworlds have only existed in people's imagination, and occasionally there are a few Most of the descriptions of the so-called "memories of the underworld" by people who have resurrected after fake corpses are ambiguous and have a strong sense of subjectivity, and the authenticity is also open to question.
Therefore, there is a slight difference between ghosts and ghosts. They will not enter through walls, nor will they appear out of thin air for no reason, nor will they entangle a specific person alone. Therefore, there must be a smooth path for its entry and exit. Just a channel. Qin Bukong's door was tightly closed, and even the door lock was opened by the pine nut with a trembling voice, so I judged that its entry and exit was through the hole dug by the pine nut earlier. Then he moved to the Eight Gate Formation, and then followed the tunnel to the back room.
When I thought of this, I asked Songzi, when you dug the tunnel to the center of the formation, if we followed it, we could find your original exit, right? Songzi was still in shock. I asked him this question twice before he answered me. He quickly said yes. I was a little upset that I was careless and didn't backfill the hole, which led to this disaster. But then I thought about it, even if we backfilled it, maybe it would be more difficult for us to find it. During this period, we would have to face endless ghosts. Before today, no one had seen the true form of "Zhao", so searching for him like a headless fly was not a good idea.
Qin Bukong asked me, I think when you saved me just now, you hit me with the Five Thunder Talisman, right? I said yes, and then proudly raised the Six Directions Seal on my hand, waving it deliberately in front of him, and then said, Awesome, do you know how stupid you are now? I’m not afraid to tell you, this Six Directions Seal was given to me by my master! I deliberately emphasized the word "Master" to achieve the effect of humiliating Qin Bukong. Qin Bukong is actually my master, but he himself proposed not to treat me as master and disciple, so why should I go against his considerate decision?
Qin Bukong snorted, and that disdainful expression appeared on his face again. He stretched out his hand to push away my hand that was dangling in front of him, and then said, "It means I was caught off guard. If you give me a few more seconds to prepare, I'm afraid it's my turn to save you." You don't even look at what kind of idiots are coming out of your sect. You lie on the ground rolling your eyes and twitching. Why the hell are you pretending to be dead to show the ghost?
After finishing speaking, Qin Bukong looked at Songzi, who lowered his head in shame. Although Qin Bukong's words were hard to hear, they were true after all. I couldn't see it. If you curse others, you can't curse them together. Ah, wasn't it just Taoist methods that saved you, old bastard? So I started arguing with Qin Bukong about this matter, but I didn't notice it at all. Qin Bukong easily used this to bring the topic to Songzi, and I didn't notice it at all.
After arguing for a while, it started to feel boring, because trying to reason with someone like Qin Bukong was simply a way of humiliating oneself. So I stood up and walked to the back room and looked at Ganmu. It was so fierce just now and I didn't know if it was injured. Fortunately, everything is fine. Ever since we broke through the Eight Gate Formation earlier, the relationship between Gan Mu and I has eased a lot. Although it is not a friend now, and I can't control it, it no longer grins at me, and sometimes it even slightly shakes its docked tail at me like a dog.
I asked Qin Bukong when should we start chasing. Qin Bukong stood up and said it can be done at any time. If you are happy, leave now. You don't need to do anything about the next two. It depends on how your grandfather Qin takes care of them! I sneered and said, "Stop talking nonsense. You are an old man. Be careful. I will make you paralyzed later. Don't expect me to take care of you. I will carry you to the Yangtze River and throw you away as soon as possible." .
Of course this is just a joke.
So I asked Songzi, if you can still do it, if not, just stay in this room. My implication is that you won't be of much help anyway, but will become a burden. Songzi probably understood what I meant, so he nodded and said, I will stay here and wait for you to come back. You must be careful.
So Qin Bukong and I drank a glass of water, peed, packed up everything we needed, and then jumped into the tunnel one after another.
As I said at the beginning, the entrance to the tunnel is on a gentle slope and is very narrow. To go down to a deeper place, we need to climb a rope ladder, so up to the rope ladder part, we have been relatively smooth. However, when I jumped off the rope ladder first and flashed the flashlight, I was shocked - This tunnel space, which has become spacious and has been walked through countless times, is actually filled with ghosts in twos and threes. And their appearance is just like the ghosts we saw outdoors, they were brought in when the real body of "Zhao" came in from another entrance. So I didn't think much about it, and walked and fought all the way with Qin Bukong. We have been fighting all day today. In the past, we would have been exhausted. At the moment, I don’t know why, but at the same time I am excited, I am also filled with murderous intent, so we are ruthless in every move. Anyway, these ghosts all appear because of the relationship between "evils", and even They may not really exist, and they probably have no interest in following us obediently or becoming my soldiers. Instead of staying and continuing to harm others or obstruct us, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity and kill one of them.
But if we go this way, the speed will become very slow after all. Originally, the walk from the bottom of Qin Bukong's bed to the center of the array would only take about ten minutes or at most twenty minutes as we were familiar with the road, but today's walk took nearly an hour. After we cleaned up the ghosts in the tunnel, we got into the center of the formation.
There are no ghosts around the center of the array, and no ghosts continue to emerge from the tunnel hole dug by the pine nuts. Instead, in front of the stone pillars of the center of the array, stand the two white ghosts who escaped earlier. No, maybe it really should be done at this moment. I call them the true form of "魑" because the position where they stand happens to be in front of the big stone brick with the character "魑" in it. This detail almost confirms my idea. At the same time, I am also glad that these two This guy is not the legendary Sha, otherwise, I would really be helpless. At least now, I still have a chance to deal with these two.
There were only two left, and Qin Bukong and I were alone at the moment, so we became even more courageous. I hold both the division order and the Six Directions Seal in my hands. I have already used two tricks to defeat the enemy before, and now I just need to be brave enough to follow them. Qin Bukong also opened his teeth and shook the Gu bell in his hand.
Both of us were ready for the final attack and a fight to the death.
