Mr. Zheng skillfully entered the prison of the heart.
In the prison of my mind, the scenery was as eerie and pleasant as ever.
The physical body is in prison, and the consciousness is also in prison.
Mr. Zheng was satisfied with the iron-clad prison food.
Outside the mottled rusty fence, the mist twisted and there was silence.
Sitting on the bone chair, Zheng Xiu looked at the game table.
Compared with before, the empty table was a little more lively.
[Evil Boy] and [Zheng Shan] are in the center of the map, hanging in the air with their eyes closed, like puppets.
At the feet of the two incarnations, there is the location of Zheng Xiu's true body.
But now, there is a little person there.
From the appearance, the person looks like a mini "Feng Bei", with black clothes and hair tied up, covering his right eye, about the proportion of a quadruple head and body.
A bit cute.
There is a faint black mist surrounding [Fengbei Station].
[Inn·Executioner·Dingwei·Fengbei].
The eyes fell and the words floated up.
Zheng Xiu stood up and got a little closer. It was just because the characters were too small and he wanted to take a closer look...it was quite cute.
After a while, Zheng Xiu frowned. He always felt that the faint black mist surrounding the [Inn] named Fengbei vaguely gave Zheng Xiu the feeling of a mini ghost.
Can ghosts and ghosts appear around people?
No, there are so many people in the world, why can Fengbei become the [Inn Station]?
Recalling the words that came up at that time, Zheng Xiu thought for a moment and roughly guessed the conditions that triggered [Inn].
"It should be people like Feng Bei. They are equivalent to human-shaped weapons. They are inherently ominous and carry ghosts. In addition, when the 'Inn' was triggered, it was clearly me who made the request and Feng Bei agreed."
There are three key points: being born ominous, making a request, and agreeing to enter.
Here comes the question: What is this weird space called "Ghost"?
How is it produced?
It's always dark, haunted by ghosts, and filthy.
The experience in Baili Village once again appeared in Master Zheng's mind.
The magnificent flowers and the style of ink painting made Zheng Xiu unforgettable in his life.
The water in this world is a little deep.
If he hadn't accidentally stepped into the [Prisoner] door, it would be hard for Zheng Xiu to imagine that there was another dimension hidden around him, right next door.
Zheng Xiu's ideas still remain in the familiar scientific worldview.
For example, the planet is round, the outer sky is the universe, the stars in the sky are other planets, according to the laws of the dark forest, aliens have not yet found this world, Taiwan Province is in China, Newton's coffin can still be covered firmly, etc.
wait.
Zheng Xiu suddenly raised his head and looked at the mist outside the prison of his heart.
So, his "heart prison" that exists in his consciousness can also be considered a ghost?
After all, essentially, he and Feng Bei belong to the same type of people - people with extraordinary talents.
"That's it! If that's the case, it makes sense!"
Zheng Xiu slapped his forehead and suddenly understood: "I understand! I understand! I understand!"
People like him and Feng Bei are extremely talented.
And Feng Bei's [Executioner] method is equivalent to a permanent supernatural ability, a passive skill, and anyone who touches it will die.
Is it possible that the causal relationship is reversed?
Is it because there are humanoid ghosts resident around Fengbei that her ability cannot be canceled and becomes passive, like an ominous curse?
And because his ghost "heart prison" is separated from his physical body in his consciousness, he must be in the "cell" to activate the ghost and use the ability called "thaumaturgy"?
The more Zheng Xiu thought about it, the more reliable his guess became.
In addition, although he didn't ask tonight, Qing Shisan, Zhizhi, Ji Hongou, Pei Gaoya, Bi Shui and others all had some weird actions or lines before and after they performed the magic technique.
It's like...a fixed "ritual".
There are many questions, but through speculation, Zheng Xiu feels that he is getting closer and closer to the truth about these strange existences such as thaumaturges, ghosts, and Chang An.
After thinking for a moment, he decided that on the way to Xiangu Temple with Feng Bei tomorrow, he would knock on the side and ask two or three hundred questions.
As the saying goes, if you ask a question, you will be forgiven.
Zheng Xiu put the question aside for the time being and continued to check [Inn Station]. He carefully stretched out his index finger and poked at [Inn Station·Executioner·Ding Wei·Fengbei].
Just when Zheng Xiu's finger was about to touch [Inn], [Inn] information appeared line by line.
【Inn】Fengbei
【Friendly】Friendly
【Door】Executioner (Ding Wei)
【Luck】Tiansha Lonely Star
【Physique】Beginning to take shape
The information is concise and to the point.
Feng Bei's talent is [Executioner], born.
Luck... Tiansha Lonely Star, for some reason, after knowing Feng Bei's experience, he felt that this was not strange.
Another thing that left Zheng Xiu quite speechless was [Physique].
What does taking shape mean?
Although it is okay for this description to be applied to [Inn], but when I think of the destination of this [Inn], it is a living person.
This is confusing.
"Du~"
Zheng Xiu poked the Fengbei doll in the face with his finger.
It's soft and feels a bit like your own incarnation.
At this time, the face of the Fengbei doll turned to Zheng Xiu. Although its eyes were dull, Zheng Xiu was startled by the sudden turn of its head, and felt a little guilty for no reason.
[You will choose an avatar to enter ‘Inn·Executioner·Ding Wei·Fengbei’.】
Incarnate as Zheng Shan and Zheng E, they opened their eyes at the same time, seeming to be waiting for Zheng Xiu to make a choice.
At the same time, the thin black mist around [Inn Fengbei] suddenly became thicker and turned into a vortex-shaped entrance, with a looming door in the vortex.
"This is... a teleportation point?"
The door that resembles the shape of an "any door" made Zheng Xiu understand the function of the [Inn], which is similar to a teleportation point.
Zheng Xiu was so shocked that he retracted his finger, the vortex returned to its original shape, and the portal disappeared into the black mist.
Mr. Zheng's mind was spinning quickly, and he immediately thought about wool.
In other words, if small ghosts are always stationed around Fengbei, wouldn't he be able to use Fengbei as an anchor point? As long as he is among the ghosts around Fengbei, there will no longer be a distance limit for [Wandering]?
Can he leave the imperial city?
Zheng Xiu was originally worried about whether his [Speed Travel] level would allow him to reach the [Xiangu Temple], but now it seems that it is okay.
Good news! Good news!
It was late at night, so he would not experiment with [Inn Fengbei].
Afraid of life.
On the outskirts of the imperial city, which belongs to the same state, there is a stretch of mountains and rivers, with a town at the foot of the mountain.
Several rivers converge and flow eastward into the East China Sea.
Between the mountains and rivers, where there used to be a blank space, there is now a gray-black preserved egg cover out of thin air.
It's a ghost.
【Ghost】:【Xiangu Temple】
[Difficulty]: [Sunset]
Regarding the difficulty of the ghosts, the rule book in my memory gives corresponding divisions.
The difficulty of the ghosts from low to high is: the beginning of the day, the middle of the day, the sunset, the sunset, the dusk, the middle of the night, and the ignorance.
The difficulty of Baili Village is only [Sunset], while the difficulty of Xiangu Temple jumps one level directly to [Sunset].
Above the [Ghost Fairy Temple], a translucent "hourglass" emerged.
The skeleton of the small hourglass seems to be composed of wriggling tendrils, but the content in the hourglass is not sand, but "fluid" dripping down like asphalt.
[Time limit: seven days.]
[Bai Li Village] was a ghost town twenty years ago.
[Xiangu Temple] is a ghost that exists in reality.
For Zheng Xiu, there are two differences between the two.
[White Carp Village] existed in the past. Zheng Xiuneng entered the White Carp Village directly from the game table.
As for the [Xiangu Temple], when Zheng Xiu wanted to experience it first with the mentality that it would be fine if he gave it a try.
Select [Evil Boy].
【You never arrived at the ‘Xiangu Temple’. 】
【You can only go there on foot.】
Mr. Zheng, who thought he could enter instantly, was slightly dumbfounded when he saw these two lines of words.
【You are about to climb mountains and wade through rivers, and it will be tiring for you.】
[Estimated to arrive at Xiangu Temple in two days.]
The [Evil Boy] on the game table had a faint dotted line extending from his feet, and then the Evil Child began to move slowly towards the Fairy Aunt Temple.
【On the way.】
Zheng Xiu stared and cursed in his heart that this was not as useful as [Inn], so he was careful and canceled the trip.
He turned into a villain and returned in despair.
Hua Hua Hua——
Zheng Xiu tried hard to recall the contents of the rules that were poured into him. They should be related to ghosts.
It was like there was a book reading rapidly in Zheng Xiu's mind.
Soon, Mr. Zheng understood.
This is similar to playing games.
He has only opened the "fast travel point" of [Fengbei Station] now. [Xiangu Temple] needs to arrive once, open the point, and anchor, so that he can travel back and forth instantly.
To put it simply, you need to open a map.
Open the map to get there quickly.
"Ghosts exist in the past and present. Is there a possibility that "future" ghosts will appear in the future?"
[Prisoner] Menjing's current ability, whether it is incarnation, wandering, projection, and many other supernatural powers, are all ordinary in Zheng Xiu's eyes.
What really makes Zheng Xiu feel weird is the ability to travel back and forth between the past and the present at will, and even project the ghostly "results" into reality.
This is simply extraordinary.
But when Zheng Xiu changed his mind and thought about Feng Bei's "Destroying Hands", destroying whoever he caught, he secretly thought that his method of "Prisoner" seemed not so outrageous.
Now that I have experienced this [prisoner] approach, it feels more and more like "sitting in jail and watching the sky".
Squatting in the prison, with a table and a chair, watching the world.
Since it takes two days to get to Guixiao from here, Zheng Xiu might as well wait until early tomorrow morning and set off with [Fengbei Station].
A night of silence.
The sky is clear tonight.
The raven is still circling.
Scar Laoliu was considerate and brought a stove to Master Zheng to warm himself before going to bed.
Mr. Zheng silently gave Sixth Brother a like.
Wrapped up tightly in the gold goose down "囍" quilt, I slept all night.
The cock crows and it's still dark.
Zheng Xiu was in a daze and was woken up.
Zheng Xiu was a little surprised by the people who came to visit him in prison.
It was actually the former prison inmate, Jiang Gaoyi, Lord Jiang, who was now promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
