What was somewhat beyond Li Leping's expectation was that the group of ghost controllers he sent to the bamboo forest to investigate actually found out some of the secrets of the bamboo forest.
After a tentative touch, a ghost controller who did not want to follow the large army and insisted on staying in the temple accidentally tested the power of the bamboo in the courtyard.
This bamboo is planted on the left side of the temple. The seemingly lonely bamboo seems to be connected to the bamboo forest behind the temple. Just touch this bamboo lightly and people will be transported to the bamboo forest.
Li Leping had encountered similar teleportation abilities a long time ago.
At that time, it had not been long since he became a ghost master.
An accidental investigation of supernatural events led him and Liu San to discover the secret beneath Lingjiang River.
Crossing the water, they came to an unknown supernatural place, a deserted village with many ghosts imprisoned in coffin-shaped houses.
In the last house, by chance, they discovered that the water tank placed in the house hid a secret. After some investigation, they came to a deeper supernatural place.
It was a righteous village guarded by ghosts. There were two black coffins parked in the righteous village, and one of the coffins contained an extremely dangerous old corpse.
I remember that at that time, Liu San was so bold that he became interested in the old corpse and moved the corpse along with the coffin.
"This kind of connection method can now be achieved by using the ghost realm. The so-called deep supernatural land is actually a ghost realm with higher intensity, just like Yang Jian's fourth-level ghost realm and fifth-level ghost realm.
In the same way, through different degrees of supernatural superposition, a strange place is created that is in the same place but not in the same space."
"As for changing the position, it is even simpler in the ghost realm. It can be said that it can be done in the ghost realm with just one thought."
"The only thing you need to worry about is whether the strength of the ghost realm can withstand so many evil ghosts. An ordinary ghost realm cannot trap dozens of evil ghosts in a state of recovery."
After listening to Jiang Hao's translation and recalling this experience, Li Leping returned his attention to the present.
"But why do you want to leave a bamboo connecting to the bamboo forest here?"
Although Li Leping's best ability is not the ghost world, his rich experience is enough for him to figure out how the underwater village and the righteous village in the vat were constructed.
However, at this moment, he still didn't quite understand the meaning of the existence of that bamboo forest.
Bamboo connects the bamboo forest.
Then what?
What is the purpose?
"Ask them where the bamboo forest leads to in the end." Li Leping immediately asked after learning the information.
His train of thought is still the original train of thought.
Since it exists, there must be a reason for its existence and it cannot be just a decoration.
His questioning was translated and relayed by Jiang Hao.
soon.
The Ghost Controller opposite immediately chirped in reply.
Among the various responses, Jiang Hao compiled the answers and translated them: "They said that there is an open space at the end of the bamboo forest, but the strange thing is that there are a few shovels stuck in the open space, and they don't dare to mess around at this time.
I didn’t dare to dig without using a shovel, so I sent some people back to report.”
"Open space? Shovel?" Li Leping narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.
Although he has not been to the bamboo forest personally, after hearing the reply given by Jiang Hao, he has already imagined such a scene in his mind.
Walking along the road under your feet in the dim bamboo forest, you will eventually come to an open space.
The strange thing is that there are several shovels stuck in the muddy ground.
It's as if... someone is deliberately using these shovels standing on the ground to hint to them, asking them to use these ready-made shovels to dig open space?
"Is there something underground that we need to dig out? Or does it mean something else?"
Li Leping frowned slightly, but he couldn't come to a conclusion.
"Are there any ceremonies that require digging the earth during the ceremony?"
He had no choice but to ask Jiang Hao, who was very knowledgeable about Buddhist etiquette.
However, Jiang Hao was also frowning at this moment. After careful consideration, he came to a conclusion similar to Li Leping's, that is, since there are shovels on the ground, there is a high probability that there will be a time when the shovels need to be used to dig the ground.
But the problem is that Jiang Hao has never heard that the water and land ceremony held by that company requires the use of shovels to dig soil.
If it had to be said, it would only be the first shovel when the construction site started. The relevant leaders would pretend to shovel it with the shovel as a groundbreaking ceremony for the start of the construction.
"Could it be that someone buried something underground before, but didn't have time to take the shovel back later?"
Jiang Hao, who really couldn't figure out what the shovel had to do with the puja, could only give a very reluctant explanation.
"Unlikely, if only a shovel is left on the ground, then your explanation may be reasonable."
"But since there are so many shovels on display now, it means that these things must be reserved for us latecomers."
Li Leping rejected Jiang Hao's guess, and then immediately said: "I can't figure out the reason even if I stay here. Anyway, the situation in the hall has been roughly determined. Now let's go to the bamboo forest and have a look."
After saying that, he immediately took action
Under the dim moonlight, a group of people walked out of the hall and came to a tall and lonely bamboo.
This is a bamboo that has some signs of withering and yellowing. It grows relatively tall, more than ten meters tall, giving people the abnormal appearance of being withered but not dead.
"Is it this bamboo?" Li Leping confirmed again.
"It's this bamboo." Soon, he got the answer.
"Okay, please go first."
Although Li Leping had plans to go there in person, he was not in a hurry to be the first to go.
Although he expected that these ghost masters would not dare to deceive and hide at this time, he still had to be on guard against others. For the sake of safety, he chose to randomly grab a lucky spectator from beside him.
Before the lucky audience member could react and looked confused, Li Leping immediately implanted something dirty into this person's consciousness.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Afterwards, in full view of everyone, this guy with dim eyes and a hint of confusion was pushed towards the bamboo in front of him by Li Leping.
What is chilling is that the guy who was captured showed no resistance at all from beginning to end, just like a docile puppet on strings.
next moment.
An incredible scene occurred.
Before everyone could react to Li Leping's arrogant behavior, the guy he pushed out disappeared from everyone's sight without any warning the moment he touched the bamboo.
"They didn't lie."
Li Leping's always dark eyes were staring straight ahead, as if he was using another person's body to peek at the scenery in other places.
And the only one who could understand this sentence was Jiang Hao.
"Is it a consciousness-type ability?"
Jiang Hao, who vaguely saw some signs, couldn't help but be surprised.
He didn't have much contact with Li Leping. Counting the time in the ghost alley before, and going back further, they only had the contact during the meeting in Dajing City and the earlier contact in the temple in Dayun City.
All things considered, they had never had formal contact more than five times, and they didn't even have much communication before the ghost alley.
At this moment, Jiang Hao was undoubtedly shocked by the various strange abilities displayed by Li Leping.
"Not only does he have the qualifications to fight against evil spirits head-on, but he is also involved in the more difficult-to-predict realm of consciousness?"
Jiang Hao, who realized this, suddenly felt a little happy.
I'm glad that such people are on my side.
However, Jiang Hao's thoughts at this moment were naturally unknown to Li Leping.
Li Leping also had no intention of deliberately paying attention to the little secrets buried deep in others' hearts. As long as these secrets would not endanger him, he certainly did not need to pay attention to them, let alone get to the bottom of them.
The secrets in this bamboo forest are what should be discovered now.
Immediately.
Li Leping, who confirmed that the bamboo could lead to the bamboo forest and that there was no abnormality in the bamboo forest yet, set off.
He took a step forward, stretched out his pale and bloodless palm, and lightly touched the bamboo.
Suddenly.
Like switching slides, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed.
This change appears so sudden and unreal, which far subverts ordinary people's cognition.
In the blink of an eye.
The surrounding light decreased sharply, the moonlight in the sky seemed to be blocked by something, and the temple walls and the many ghost masters surrounding him also disappeared.
In its place is an open space surrounded by bamboo forests.
In this way, Li Leping arrived at the end of the deep bamboo forest.
This is an open area in a bamboo forest, shaped like a circle. The soil on the ground is black. I don't know what kind of soil it is. It is as muddy as if it has been stained with water. There is not even a weed on it, and it is very soft.
The open space is surrounded by dense bamboo forests, and there is only a small path between the bamboo forests, connecting to the mysterious temple.
And in this open space that was so soft that even stepping on it would leave a clear footprint, Li Leping saw a few shovels.
Exactly what those ghost masters said.
There are six shovels stuck in the soil, standing irregularly in various positions in the open space. They are all made of wooden handles and iron heads. The front part is inserted into the soil, and the wooden poles stand upright, making people look very strange.
Uncomfortable, just like six scarecrows, and in a trance, they can even be regarded as six figures.
At this time.
Jiang Hao appeared in the bamboo forest shortly after.
Li Leping had already come over, so he naturally had no reason to stay in that temple.
at the same time.
The Ghost Controller, who had been staying in the clearing as a guard, immediately noticed their arrival, and then hurried forward and babbled another sentence.
"They said they had been staying here, nothing else had happened, and they hadn't moved the six shovels."
Jiang Hao translated these people's words fluently.
"I see."
Li Leping nodded slightly, then walked towards the shovel closest to him.
If you look closely at this shovel, you will feel that it is no different from farm tools in the countryside. It is just as old. The color of the wooden pole has become old due to years of use, showing a brown-black color coated with pulp.
Holding the wooden pole, I tried shaking it.
The tip of the shovel was completely immersed in the ground, so that the upright shovel was much more stable than expected, and just a little strength was not enough to make the wooden pole shake.
However, through this contact, Li Leping also
"Do you want to pull it out?"
Withdrawing his hand, Li Leping's eyes flickered and he made a decision in his heart.
He didn't know why these six shovels were placed here, and he didn't know if there was anything buried under the shovels, let alone whether pulling out the shovels at this time would cause some changes.
"If we don't test it at this time, I'm afraid there won't be such a stable opportunity in the future."
Although the act of pulling out the shovel may be dangerous, Li Leping believes that now is the best time to study this bamboo forest.
As the days go by, the danger in this place will inevitably increase.
Especially according to Li Leping's speculation, in the next few days, the evil ghost will definitely enter the temple to participate in the Dharma assembly.
By then, let alone whether this bamboo forest would be as peaceful as it was now, the evil ghosts entering the temple would be enough to make him feel powerless. How could he still have the leisure to investigate this bamboo forest?
However, since this bamboo forest can occupy such a large area in the supernatural land, it must have existential significance and be closely related to the Eight-Heaven Dharma Conference.
If we don't understand the meaning of this bamboo forest, it may cause problems in the process the next day.
Immediately.
Li Leping thought clearly and immediately pulled out the shovel in his hand.
What people didn't expect was that when the shovel was inserted into the soil, it would not move no matter how much it shook, and it was as stable as a stone.
But when I pulled it out, I felt very relaxed, and it came out with a little effort.
But that's when the shovel breaks away from the soil.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Suddenly.
There was a strange squirming movement in the mud underfoot.
The amplitude of this peristalsis is very small, so small that it is difficult to detect.
But it was during this squirming that everyone nearby who was paying attention to the situation saw that the traces originally left by the shovel on the soil suddenly disappeared.
When a shovel is inserted into the mud, after it is pulled out, the land will naturally leave a depressed area caused by the shovel being inserted.
However, the strange thing is that the moment the shovel was pulled out, the soil under his feet suddenly began to squirm strangely, as if it was alive.
And under this weird creeping movement, the sunken area was suddenly refilled with the surrounding soil.
The ground became smooth again. Although it was still muddy, there were no traces of the shovel being inserted.
"The problem isn't the shovel, it's the land itself."
After making the discovery, Li Leping boldly shoveled a shovelful of soil, and a small pit appeared on the ground.
But the next second, the ground beneath my feet began to squirm strangely again. It seemed that as long as there was a vacancy on the ground, there would be new soil approaching from nowhere to fill the vacancy.
Before Li Leping could pour back the soil in the shovel, the original small hole was filled up again as the soil squirmed.
And at this time.
When Li Leping poured the soil in the shovel onto the ground again.
The ground began to move strangely again.
Only this time, what the ground has to do is no longer to fill the vacancies, but to accept the part of the soil that belongs to itself.
During the creeping motion, the soil that fell on the ground seemed to be absorbed. It merged into the earth and became part of this black land, until this part of the soil that fell on the ground could no longer be seen.
Repeatedly, this open space has always maintained its original appearance.
