This ritual ceremony of "The Book of Saviors" lasted for half a day.
Actually.
The grievances and obsessions that this ritual really wants to overcome are not those human skins, but the ghost ship beneath them that had a shipwreck and carried a boatload of dead people.
There were too many human skins and too many dead souls to be liberated in one or two days. From the beginning, Wutou Jinan did not place any hope that he could liberate them all in one day.
He first gave these lonely ghosts in the darkness hope for light, calmed their minds and nourished their lives, appeased their hatred and obsession, and then spent the next ten days and a half to slowly transform them.
It is important to save the human skin, but it is even more important to save the ghost ship.
After all, when it comes to the depth of resentment and obsession, the ghost ship in front of us is the one with the deepest resentment.
To solve it, we must first solve the ghost ship, and then solve the human skin.
Even if it wasn’t for the clues about the Immortal Cauldron, just because when he had a battle with the prison ship and ghost ship just now, the ghost ship never left him, regarded him as a real crew member, and helped him several times. Between him and the ghost ship,
The cause and effect in time has been forged, and he must repay this cause and effect. He must resolve the resentment and obsession of the ghost ship, help it to be reincarnated, and have an end of good causes and good results.
After reciting "The Sutra of Saving People", the resentment on the ghost ship was not as violent as it was at the beginning, and was temporarily calmer. Headless Jin'an decided to explore the ghost ship again to find out the truth about the shipwreck.
He so quickly decided to re-explore the truth about the ghost ship. In addition to the above reasons, there is actually another reason, and that is the group of Shinto masters Yuanshen he saw at the Haizhou Port during the battle with the prison ship ghost ship.
Those people came for the Immortal Cauldron of Gewu, and sooner or later he would come into contact with those people, so he had to seize the opportunity step by step and find the secret of the ghost ship earlier than those people.
Only in this way can we resolve the resentment and obsession of the ghost ship as soon as possible before those people board the ship and conflict breaks out with those people, and send this ship of dead souls to reincarnation as soon as possible.
Although he had only been with the underworld for a short period of ten days, he had fallen in love with the crew of this ship who had the warmth of the underworld. Just because they were willing to rush to save him, he would never let this ship of dead souls be like those on the prison ship.
Like a human skin sail, he has become a lonely ghost on the road to hell. He has no peace in life and no peace in death.
So he must make some changes.
Headless Jin An stood up, and then put the densely spread human skins on the deck into the human stomach bag around his waist. Then he did not immediately explore the secrets of the ghost ship in a hurry, but found the one-eyed paper to stab people, and continued to stab people.
The newly seeped blood from the cracks in the hull and deck was scrubbed away, and the figures were busy.
This is called returning a wish.
Repay kindness with pictures.
It is also called never forgetting your original intention.
He has always been a diligent crew member and a part of the ship.
At the same time, it also inspires the ghost ship again, soothing the resentment of those who died in vain.
Perhaps it was because Wu Tou Jin'an's presiding over the ritual of "The Book of Savior" really had an effect, which somewhat relieved some of his grievances and obsessions. When he was diligently scrubbing the blood on the hull of the ship, he discovered that the blood was seeping out of the seams in the wooden planks at a relatively fast rate.
It's a little slower than before.
The headless Jin An, whose neck was empty, revealing a flat decapitation wound, was filled with joy, thinking that his continuous actions were indeed effective.
It also indirectly proves that this ghost ship can still be saved, and there is still a chance for redemption and reincarnation.
It wasn't until he had finished cleansing the ghost ship and lit incense and candles from bow to stern to offer incense that he came to the cabin door where he was crucified, hung with garlic, and exorcised with silverware.
This time, his emotions were a little more heavy and persistent, because he had more oaths and promises in his heart than when he first boarded the ship a dozen days ago.
This time it is still the same as the previous times. The spiritual consciousness cannot pass through the hatch and directly see what is going on inside the cabin. However, in order to save the ghost ship as soon as possible before other forces arrive and send it back to reincarnation, there is no way.
Tou Jinan made a completely different decision this time than the previous times.
He planned to pry open these nailed doors and windows to see what secrets were locked behind the hatches?
Before today, he had some scruples and did not want to offend the ghost ship, but after today's joint battle with the prison ship ghost ship, Wutou Jinan gained some confidence and his mind became more active.
Headless Jin'an suddenly raised his hands and clasped his fists, and bowed towards the garlic heads and silverware hanging on the door frame. He was paying tribute to the warriors who had sacrificed their lives here.
Next, he will continue to drive away evil spirits and defend the truth, so that the righteous path will not perish.
After paying tribute, Headless Jin'an began to remove the wooden bars that nailed the doors and windows. Strangely enough, his removal was surprisingly smooth.
No strange things or other ominous signs occurred during the process, and all the wooden strips were successfully removed.
I don’t know whether it was the exorcists who died on the ship who were protecting him in the dark, or whether it was because of his many good deeds today that the ghost ship recognized him and allowed him to come and go freely on the ship.
Squeak!
A cold sound of pushing the door sounded on the misty and silent sea. The door shaft made a horrifying friction, as if a dusty seal had been pushed open for a long time. With a gentle push from the headless Jin'an's palm, the cabin
The door was pushed open by him easily.
call--
An extremely strong, nauseating smell of blood rushed to his face, as if a moist and sticky cold wind was blowing on the decapitated neck, making cold hairs stand on end.
Headless Jin'an now has no head, otherwise this smelly cold wind would have blown on his face.
Feeling the strange cold wind, Headless Jin An subconsciously raised his hand to touch his neck, then put his hand in front of his body and spread it out to check. His palm was clean and there was no sticky foreign matter on his neck.
Strange ghost ship, strange smelly cold wind.
Seeing nothing unusual, he shifted his gaze from his palms to behind the cabin door.
It's dark behind the door.
It is so dark that it can swallow up any light source that shines in from the outside world.
Even the soul-inducing lamp held by the headless Jin An could not illuminate the dark world behind the door. The green candlelight could only illuminate a circle around the threshold, and was swayed weakly by the sea breeze.
Looking at the empty and dark world behind the cabin door, Headless Jin An was a little surprised.
He thought that there would be a mountain of corpses piled behind the cabin, with nowhere to go, so blood would seep out from the gaps all the time.
He saw that the soul-inducing lamp in his hand could not illuminate the dark world behind the cabin door, so he moved the soul-inducing lamp forward a little further and stretched it into the cabin.
The green candlelight emits a faint light, which can only illuminate the area of the lantern. The environment beyond the lantern is still as dark as ink, and the environment cannot be seen clearly.
Headless Jin An looked down at his feet, which were barely illuminated by the lantern, and saw that the floor of the cabin was covered with a thick layer of blood, which looked like traces of many people struggling painfully in the cabin, or like many corpses being dragged on the ground.
trace.
The blood stains were not completely dry, but were half dry and half wet, with a fishy odor and a sticky consistency that made people unable to place their feet.
The area illuminated by the lantern is really very limited. Apart from the bloodstains on the floor, the rest of the cabin is filled with unknown darkness and unknown dangers.
It seems that I can only go in and explore it myself...
Headless Jin An stood outside the door without hesitating for too long, and decisively stepped into the dark world...
