Inside the Xiangu Temple cave.
At the beginning, Feng Bei was in front, Dou Xie was second, Zheng Xiu was third, and Yue Yan was fourth, walking in the cave.
Yue Yan overtook the car and got ahead, following behind Feng Bei.
Not far into the cave, they were quickly shocked by the complex structure inside the cave, which was like a catwalk.
The light was fading, and after taking a few more steps, I couldn't see my fingers.
"Hey!" Dou Xie seemed to have been looking forward to this moment for a long time, and finally couldn't help it. He chuckled and flipped through the textbook: "Finally it's my turn, Dou Xie, to take action!"
Turning out the page, the words "Firefly Candlelight" were clearly written on it.
Dou Xie performed a magic trick, and the four characters were thrown away. In an instant, they turned into dots of light like fireflies, floating around the four people, illuminating part of them.
Dou Xie was just about to ask Yue Yan to praise her, but before she could, Zheng Xiu suddenly poured a basin of cold water on him: "It's still quite dark, the light spot is small, the range is small, the distance is small, everything is small, in short, it's small .”
Dou Xie stumbled and almost hit the wall.
"Give."
Zheng Xiu took the opportunity to step forward, bypassed the Dou Xie, squeezed Yue Yan away, and changed his position.
Now he was following Feng Bei.
Feng Bei noticed the movement behind him and stood sideways, with his long hair hanging down by his ears. Feng Bei stretched out his hand to tuck his temple hair behind his ears, his left eye showing a questioning look.
"I'm a little scared."
Zheng Xiu said matter-of-factly.
When Dou Xie heard this, his fist became hardened.
Why didn't you say you were scared when this guy slapped me in the face?
Dou Xie was about to argue.
"Okay, stay by my side to keep you safe."
Feng Bei didn't doubt that he was there, and smiled and nodded as an agreement.
The son of an old friend must be protected.
Feng Bei made up his mind.
Hearing this, Dou Xie wanted to cry but had no tears.
Those who are favored are confident.
After walking dozens of steps, a fork in the road appeared in front of Feng Bei.
Because in the Fairy Goddess Temple, Zheng Xiu hit Fairy Goddess with a flying knife and injured her.
Looking down, he found that it was not difficult to follow the blood stains on the ground.
Zheng Xiu secretly thought it was a pity. If there were extra space to equip the [Tracking] skill, in the current situation, wouldn't the experience level of [Tracking] be steadily increasing?
Feng Bei was in front. She did not walk very fast, but moved forward slowly.
When nothing happened, Zheng Xiu asked about the strange phenomenon in the sky just now.
Feng Bei replied happily.
After a while, combined with his experience in Baili Village, Zheng Xiu finally understood the strangeness.
Among them, it involves an important part of the four parts of the human soul - Xiang.
When the human soul leaves the body, even if there is no one to guide it, it will be attracted by the body and return to the original body. This is the function of "xiang" existing in the human soul.
In the ancient books preserved in Ye Weiyang, it was speculated that after death, the human soul will drift to the same place under the guidance of "Xiang".
There are many sayings in ancient times, and Zheng Xiu also heard it before.
Some people say that they are going to the "Underworld", some are saying that they are going to the "Netherworld", some are saying that they are going to "reincarnation", and some are saying that they are going to the "other shore". There are different opinions, but it is difficult to verify.
But now Ye Weiyang has a definite explanation.
That is, if a person is alive and the human soul is separated from the physical body, the human soul will be attracted by the true body under the guidance of "Xiang".
But once a person dies, his soul will drift to another place - Changdian under the guidance of "Xiang".
In the same place, within a very short period of time, if a large number of ownerless "human souls" appear at the same time, then the "human souls" gathered together, under the guidance of a common "direction", will pass through the ghosts at the same time and enter the eternal darkness. . If too many human souls gather in a short period of time, the barrier between Eternal World and Eternal Darkness will be instantly broken and the two will be connected.
"I see."
Zheng Xiu briefly translated Feng Bei's words.
To put it simply, assuming that the human soul has mass, if too many human souls with the same weight loss direction gather together, and the energy generated in an instant is too large, can it penetrate the film between the eternal world and the eternal darkness?
When he thought about it, Zheng Xiu understood.
Thinking back on what happened in Baili Village, Zheng Xiu suddenly realized.
In Baili Village, the innocent souls of those who have died over the years have attached themselves to the white carp, producing heads one after another.
For the Treasure King and his party alone, the momentum generated by their human souls is not enough to break open the barrier between Chang An and Chang Shi.
But the white carp is different. The white carp has a large number of human souls attached to it. After many years of accumulation, they killed so many white carp in the village. All the souls rushed towards Chang An, and finally opened the "channel" to Chang An.
He understood one thing, but Zheng Xiu was still puzzled by another thing: "You said that Mei Xiangu wanted to attack Chang An on purpose? What's the purpose?"
"Ugh~"
As soon as Zheng Xiu said the words "Beautiful Fairy Girl", it was as if he pressed a smart switch on Dou Xie's body from a distance. The Dou Xie at the end of the team turned around and lay on the wall while retching, which was like morning sickness.
Feng Bei didn't answer, but behind her, Yue Yan answered first: "If I guessed correctly, the path she took should be 'divine witchcraft'."
"Shen Tiao Wu?" Zheng Xiu was stunned when he heard this.
He knew that this side profession was rare on the streets and mostly found in the south.
I never thought there would be a way out of this.
Sure enough, all roads can open.
There are many folk theories about divine witchcraft.
"Witch", "Drum Bell Fairy", "Pole Woman", "Dance God".
In Zheng Xiu's impression, she was an old mother-in-law, wearing an eagle ornament on her head, a face painted with chicken blood, a long skirt with a ribbon, a bell on her left waist, a drum on her right waist, and nine bronze mirrors hanging on her body. This is the unique outfit of a divine witch. When they start to dance, they will set up a pole flag and write the name of the "great god" they want to invite in blood. Folks call this step "moving the pole", well, it is also called "putting the flag".
At the beginning of the ceremony, the divine shamans will dance crazy sacrificial dances, ring bells and beat drums, and make various weird movements in the sound of the drums to express "success in inviting the gods".
As for what kind of god is invited, there are all kinds of tricks, and it is not clear at the moment.
But when Yueyan told the path the fairy took, Zheng Xiu immediately connected the "Danglang Fairy" enshrined in Danglang Town with the fairy's curious appearance.
"You mean, Fairy Fairy invited a mantis to her body?"
Zheng Xiu couldn't help but shudder.
Why is this interest so serious?
"Ugh~"
Zheng Xiu had just said "Beautiful Fairy Girl" and had just finished vomiting the bamboo hat he was about to follow ten steps away. He couldn't help but lie on the wall and continue vomiting.
"a--"
Zheng Xiu was about to say what happened to Fairy Aunt, but before the word "Fairy Aunt" came out of his mouth, two big pillows were placed on top of Zheng Xiu's head. Yue Yan, who was so angry that she couldn't stand it anymore, covered Tong Yan Wuji's big mouth with both hands. , Zheng Xiu almost couldn't breathe: "Don't say those three words again!"
Hearing the tragic sound of vomiting coming from the Dou Xie twenty steps away, Zheng Xiu observed a few seconds of silence for the Dou Xie. Fortunately, your mouth is tough enough to vomit.
He nodded and arched his head upwards, signaling and tacitly agreeing. Yueyan looked proud, hummed twice, and let go of the boy.
If I don't give you some color to see, you don't understand the rules.
Dots of candlelight floated around a few people, and three more forked roads appeared ahead.
After pausing for a moment and checking the blood stains on the ground, Feng Bei decisively chose the one on the left.
The sound of gurgling water came through several layers of rock walls, becoming the only sound in the silence.
As he walked, Zheng Xiu felt that the light was too dim, so he asked casually: "By the way, why didn't he write 'sun, moon and stars' or something like that in the book? It's much brighter than this little fluorescent light."
Yue Yan was speechless: "Are you really a 'literary' copyist? You just open your mouth and come up with whatever you want?"
"Otherwise? Then what's the use of him?" Zheng Xiu pointed to the glow of the firefly that seemed to be extinguished at any time.
Yue Yan said: "We have a saying, don't ask about the affairs of the sect if you are not a member of the sect. There may seem to be many ways to do it, but you don't know its restrictions and rules."
Zheng Xiu added: "If the sun, moon and stars don't shine, it's okay to say something normal like 'I hope this place is as bright as day', right?"
What the hell?
Yue Yan was stunned when she heard this.
This sentence seems to work.
She was about to turn around and call out to Dou Xie, who was still vomiting, and ask him to stop vomiting first and try another approach.
The hair on Zheng Xiu's body stood on end, and a chill ran down his spine. He subconsciously took out his broken knife and chopped it into the wall next to him.
But his broken sword had just been unsheathed.
A slender, gloved hand reached toward the wall.
Snapped!
A half-human, half-insect monster, as soon as it showed its head, was pushed back by Feng Bei and turned into minced meat in the blink of an eye.
The fishy smell spread in the cave. Feng Bei waved his hand and continued moving forward, saying calmly: "Be careful, there are things hidden around."
Zheng Xiu used the dim light to check the wall.
I saw that where the monster appeared was something similar to an insect egg.
He broke out of the egg, but it was not completely broken, and was instantly destroyed by Feng Bei.
The insect eggs are embedded in the wall, surrounded by dim light. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary earth wall, making it difficult to detect.
"Hey! You're so stubborn, please give me some light!"
Zheng Xiu yelled back, wanting Dou Xie to change to a brighter light bulb.
His role is limited to this for now.
No one answered behind him.
Zeng Zeng rub.
The glow of fireflies that was floating around the three people was extinguished in an instant.
The surroundings were plunged into darkness.
"Crab boy?"
Yue Yan turned over her hand and put the silver needle on the edge of her lips, stretched her fingers, and asked aloud.
Long echoes echoed in the long and winding cave, but no one responded.
Zheng Xiu was silent and held the broken knife in his right hand.
Ye Weiyang, one of the twenty-eight constellations, Dou Xie, vomited and disappeared.
In the darkness, the young master of the Zheng family nodded and said with regret:
"Dou Xie is dangerous."
