At the end of the meal, only the wine in the jug was left, fully half the jug was left.
Zhang Yan still overestimated his own alcohol capacity, or overestimated the alcohol capacity of this body. Let alone four liang, he started to get drunk as soon as he swallowed a little more than two liang. After drinking three liang, he quickly stopped.
However, I ate all the food and dug out two large bowls of dry rice. It was the most comfortable meal he had eaten in the past two years.
When I paid the bill, I gave him a little more and took away the wine bottle from the tavern.
Except for the store door, his feet were a little weak, but Zhang Yan cheered up and walked all the way with a slight stagger. Finally, he left the north gate of Xuanhua City, then walked along the official road for more than three miles, and finally met the passers-by. Under the guidance of the guide, I turned onto a fork in the road and walked for a while before I saw a lonely hilltop in the distance.
After walking all this way, Zhang Yan's wine not only did not wake him up, but seemed to have made him drunk after absorbing it. In the end, I insisted on staggering up the hill, but before I reached the top, I couldn't hold back my drunkenness. I found a small earth bag, used the bag on my back as a pillow, lay back, and fell asleep soundly. passed.
This is the weird behavior that people who drink too much do.
Originally, Zhang Yan was planning to find a place to stay first and come over here when it gets dark. But after leaving the tavern, I was so drunk that I lost my mind. I only remembered to come here to find out what was going on, but in the end I ignored the step of finding a place to stay.
As soon as I fell asleep, the sky turned dark, then dark.
The night breeze was blowing gently. Although it was much warmer here in Xuanhua than on Yubei Mountain, it was still a bit chilly late at night, let alone sleeping in the open air. Zhang Yan, who was originally sprawled out, gradually curled up, and finally began to shiver, and then woke up from the cold.
"Hey...where is this?" Zhang Yan asked, and finally remembered it quickly in his mind.
"...I came to the mass grave?!"
Rubbing his sore forehead, Zhang Yan was still speechless at his absurdity. What amount is this? So shallow? I'm afraid you're not sensitive to alcohol, right?
While eating in the tavern, Zhang Yan heard the two people at the next table mention a place in their chat, which was the mass grave. He was extremely curious at the time. After all, mass graves on the earth were almost extinct in peaceful times. never seen it. I would imagine that places like Mass Graves would have the most lonely souls and wild ghosts, right?
So Zhang Yan wanted to come over at night to open his eyes, encounter ghosts, and gain insights.
It's better now, I've saved money on hotel accommodation, and it's already nighttime as soon as I squint my eyes and open them.
Standing up from the ground, he turned around and picked up the baggage on the ground. Only then did Zhang Yan realize that the small bag of earth he was pillowing on was actually a grave.
He curled his lips. He didn't feel unlucky, but he felt that he didn't choose the right position. No wonder he felt uncomfortable falling asleep. After all, Zhang Yan broke into other people's graves more than once or twice when he was on earth. Sleeping with his head on the grave is nothing.
"Huh, let's have a good time then."
No one saw his drunken appearance anyway. Although sleeping in a mass grave was strange, it didn't cause Zhang Yan any trouble. Putting aside these complications at this time, Zhang Yan made a thought and switched his pupil vision to a state where both yin and yang were present, and then officially started his first trip to explore the world of the dead.
As I said before, after death, a person needs a strong enough obsession to break free from the constraints of heaven and earth and become a ghost. In other words, as long as they are ghosts, no matter how "good" they appear to be, they are actually existences that violate the rules of heaven and earth and are rejected by heaven and earth. Only Taoists have a saying of "punishing evil and supporting the Tao".
If you see a ghost, it will be over once it is extinguished, and there will be no wrongdoing. This is clearly written in the ancient books of Longhu Mountain.
However, if you want to break free from the constraints of the rules of heaven and earth and resist to return to heaven and earth, the obsession you need must be very strong. Simple unwillingness or resentment in the heart cannot support the soul to turn into a ghost. So even if you want to become a ghost after death, it is not that easy.
Even on the mass grave, Zhang Yan couldn't see any ghosts when he looked around.
He took out a pen and paper from his bag and used the moonlight to draw an "Evil Chasing Talisman" in two or three strokes. It was used specifically to track down the source or place of strong evil energy. But compared to the spirit gathering talisman and the evil exorcism talisman, the evil chasing talisman cannot be used just by drawing it. Zhang Yan needs to use the spiritual energy in his body as a catalyst to be effective.
After finishing the painting, the spiritual energy in his hand poured into the talisman paper, and the talisman paper suddenly turned into a ball of golden flames. Then the flames broke into little stars and floated in the wind like catkins, and like smart fireflies, and Zhang Yan followed Behind these Mars.
Finally, Zhang Yan saw a tree from a distance. On the tree squatted a haggard figure with disheveled hair. His upper body was naked and his lower body was half in tattered trousers. He looked very filthy. From a distance of more than ten feet, Zhang Yan could feel the Yin Qi emanating from the other party.
"Is this a ghost?"
Zhang Yan's hands were not empty either. He had a peach wood sword made of ten thousand phase beads in one hand and three spiritual fire talismans in the other. He was ready for any emergency and slowly approached the crooked neck tree.
There are high and low levels of ghosts. The main difference lies in the intensity of the evil spirit in them. Even some ghosts with strong evil spirits and normal intelligence can start ghost cultivation and find a new path from the filth to the Tao. As the old saying goes, there is always a path, and even if you become a ghost, it doesn't really mean that there is no path. It all depends on whether you are lucky enough.
The ghost squatting on the tree in front of him did not have a heavy evil spirit. Zhang Yan estimated that the ghost was just an ordinary wild ghost, although it looked a bit scary.
When the crooked-neck tree was less than five feet away, the wild ghost squatting on the tree suddenly raised its head and looked at Zhang Yan. The face seemed to be smiling, but the expression looked very distorted, adding to the ferocity. Especially the pair of eyes, which are very bulging and the whole eyes are gray.
To be honest, Zhang Yan was still a little nervous, after all, it was his first time seeing a ghost. Seeing the other party looking over, his footsteps stopped subconsciously.
"Forget it, let's capture it first and then watch slowly." Zhang Yan found it funny that he was facing a wild ghost so cautiously. It's like a cat being nervous about a little mouse. It doesn't make sense.
So he no longer hesitated and continued to move forward, and the peach wood sword in his hand began to dance.
"The heaven and earth are natural, the filthy energy is dispersed, the cave is mysterious, and the sun shines brightly..." "The Divine Curse of Purifying Heaven and Earth" sounded from Zhang Yan's mouth. The words were spoken so fast that people could not hear the specific words, but that The strange syllables brought about an inexplicable and awe-inspiring aura, and Zhang Yan's newly learned aura was added to the chanting invisibly, and he could clearly feel the cold atmosphere around him clearing up in an instant.
The wild ghost looked around in panic, with a ferocious expression on his face showing obvious fear. Soon it understood where the sources of fear and discomfort around it came from. It was the living person who appeared inexplicably in front of it. It instinctively sensed danger and wanted to run away.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
"According to the Five Mountains, the eight seas know and hear, the devil bows his head, guards my palace, the evil and evil dissipates, the Tao Qi will last forever! Stay!"
