The dim light flickered in the corridor, sometimes tearing the darkness, sometimes casting a large shadow, and the faces of several of us were somewhat uncertain.
"I vaguely feel that we may have walked here last time and were pushed back to the starting point."
Brother Yaozi said softly: "Fortunately, we can see them this time. At worst, we will fight with them. Anyway, as long as we get rid of them, we can get out, right? As for what method is used, it is not very important. For example, it is the same to kill them all?"
I hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.
The premise is that we can beat them.
Shuangling, one of the three souls, is the most unique. It is yin, and after death, it is the main ghost.
If it were outside, with the suppression of the Yang energy between heaven and earth, the Shuangling would basically not be able to stir up any waves. After separating from the three souls and seven spirits, it would disappear into thin air in a short time. But this is the world of Shuangling, without so many restrictions. If you really deal with it, it is no different from fighting with a fierce ghost.
How can so many Shuangling be solved by violence?
I sighed silently, and took the lead to walk towards the leaping halo. It is a blessing, not a disaster. If it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided. It has come to this point, so I can only walk and see.
There were bursts of "ding ding dang dang" sounds coming from the front. In addition to the noise, you can also hear intermittent shouting. I don't know what these Shuangling gathered together are doing.
After turning the corner, the front is suddenly open.
This is a hollowed-out mountain belly, with busy figures everywhere. It seems that they are building a tomb chamber. The tomb chamber is very large. I took a quick look and saw that there are no less than hundreds of Shuanglings busy here. With such a scale, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be the main tomb chamber of this burial pit. The person sleeping inside may be the most important person in Donghu, and most likely their king!
Unfortunately, this tomb chamber seems to have just started construction, and I can't see any clues, which makes me quite disappointed.
You must know that the place we are in now is very unique. It is the world in Shuangling's memory, a retrospect of history, and the appearance of this ancient tomb thousands of years ago. What is here is real in the real world. If we can peek into the secrets of the main tomb chamber here, it will definitely help us a lot.
At this time, the Shuangling in the tomb chamber finally noticed that there was an outsider intrusion. Whether they were working or talking to each other, they all stopped at the same time. The silence here was suffocating in an instant. Hundreds of ghost faces were aimed at us together, staring at us.
I have seen ghost soldiers passing through the corridor and ghost markets. In Lao Bai's words, although I have been in the industry for a short time, my experience is very exciting. I can be regarded as a very knowledgeable person in our industry. However, at this moment, I still feel cold hands and feet when I am looked at by these things, and even my body is a little stiff.
This is probably the most embarrassing thing in the world. I am obviously hairy all over, but I have to pretend to be very happy. I hug Lao Bai and walk forward with my arms around his shoulders.
Lao Bai's face twitched. He wanted to cooperate with me, but the situation really affected his acting skills. His eyes kept looking at me, probably telling me that I should walk in front and he should follow behind me.
I ignored him at all. There was no way. I was afraid too. It would be much more calm to have someone by my side.
Fortunately, the Shuangling here did not show a strong desire to attack.
Even when Lao Bai and I passed by them, they would move aside. Only one of them harassed us. It was an extremely ugly man with a sheepskin around his waist, bare upper body, skinny, and a rib. He had two yellow and overly large buck teeth in his mouth, squinting his eyes, and was particularly naughty. His behavior was as naughty as his appearance. He didn't attack me, but blocked me. His ugly face was almost stuck to my face. Wherever I went, he went, like a piece of sticky candy that couldn't be shaken off, as if showing off his appearance.
I had to pretend that I didn't see it and let it have fun.
Later, it probably felt bored, so it changed its target and came to Lao Bai, but Lao Bai was not as polite as me. He patted his mouth, yawned loudly, and blew a big breath on the other person's face. The man's two squinting eyes immediately turned up, and his expression was as if he was going to ascend to heaven. He didn't dare to approach us again.
I almost laughed out loud, but what followed was a deep confusion.
These things don't look ferocious.
In fact, they are not as ferocious as the ghost boy we first saw. If it weren't for its limited skills and timidity, it would definitely dare to kill people. It can be said to be the most ferocious thing here.
At present, I think these cool spirits will not kill people in nine out of ten cases. Although they like to play tricks on people, it is just the nature of ghosts. People often say that ghosts are like children, and they are quite playful. If they are not the kind of fierce ghosts with deep hatred, they will rarely kill people.
This is the weird part.
I agree with Brother Yaozi's opinion. Last time we walked here and were sent back. After all, the pace of walking cannot be faked. Looking at the posture of these cool spirits, they are definitely not the kind of people who do such things.
I gradually relaxed and began to pay attention to the abnormalities here. Unfortunately, this tomb seems to be in the process of excavation, and there is nothing worth paying attention to.
Before I knew it, Lao Bai and I had passed through many Shuang Ling. Behind them, in a corner of the mountain, it was particularly dry and the soil was sandy.
The exit was there!!
My eyes lit up and I was overjoyed. Shuang Ling was afraid of strong Yin Qi, because it would turn them into evil spirits, but they were more afraid of Yang Qi. Therefore, in this strange place, there was no Yang Qi at all. The place I was eyeing was so dry, obviously affected by Yang Qi. Maybe... that was the exit!
Immediately, I pulled Lao Bai and quickened my pace to walk there.
"Guests from afar, please stay for a while!"
Suddenly, an old voice sounded.
I was startled and turned around suddenly. Only then did I finally notice that behind many Shuang Ling, there was a hunchbacked old man sitting on a piece of dirt.
This old man is very strange. He wears a long leather coat and a huge bone helmet on his head. You can't see his specific appearance. Only a pair of green eyes are exposed. What's scary is that the pupils of his eyes are linear, without any emotion, giving people a cold feeling. Even his hands are tucked into the leather coat, and no skin is exposed on his body.
I saw that the shape of the bone helmet seems to be made of a snake head, but I don't know what kind of giant python can cover a human head.
This old man is so unique. It seems that he must have been an extraordinary character when he was alive.
The most important thing is that the other party actually speaks the same language as us, which is quite interesting.
Generally speaking, ghosts can understand human language without language barriers, because they capture human aura, but humans may not understand ghost language.
We couldn't understand the language these Shuanglings used to communicate. It wasn't the extinction language, but the former Donghu language. When they pronounced, they always gave people a "huhuhu" feeling, which was very similar to the Tungusic language spoken by the Ewenki people in Aoluguya, but it was not quite the same. It should be a language belonging to the Altaic language family. Unfortunately, with the demise of Donghu, it is estimated that no one understands such a language now.
I stared at the old man with a gleaming gaze, and at the same time I noticed that Brother Yaozi and Zhang Xinya had been silently surrounded by many Shuanglings and had long been cut off behind us.
This is quite mean.
I instantly understood what the old man meant. He showed us a way out, and it was so close, but he detained the people walking behind us, leaving us with nowhere to vent our anger, and we could only listen to him obediently.
"Try not to fight it."
Cang Yao's voice suddenly rang in my mind: "It's very strange, not like a human, not like a ghost, not like a Shuangling, but like a beast, but it gives me a feeling that this place is its territory, and all the Shuangling are its slaves. It seems that this place was not formed by chance, and it is related to this thing..."
This is too much information...
I couldn't figure it out for a while.
At this time, the old man spoke again, blinked his eyes, and the snake bones on his head moved, as if he smiled: "Young man, don't be nervous, I am the great wizard of Donghu, Hu Jiu told me that you will come, let me sit down and talk with you, it always thinks that I am better at communicating than it, I hope I can convince you..."
As it said, it waved its sleeves, and the Shuangling around it made way for a space: "Please sit down, the thing that is most lacking in this place is time, we have plenty of time to chat."
