Since blocking the entrance of the evil ghost at two o'clock in the morning, the temple has been very quiet for the rest of the time.
On the first day of the Dharma Assembly, everyone in the temple needs to perform a cleansing ritual. Judging from the current situation, it seems that as long as the correct ritual is performed, everything will be normal for the next period of time.
Although there are all kinds of weird things wandering around the outside of the temple, or the temple itself is not simple, at least everyone can get some breathing time now.
Although they are still on tenterhooks, fearing that something bad will suddenly happen, for those ghost controlmen who have spent a lot of supernatural power blocking the door, it is good to have some time to adjust.
Li Leping also took advantage of the fact that the new supernatural phenomena had not yet struck, and conducted an investigation into the temple and the bamboo forest.
However, although he was roughly sure what was in the temple, due to the lack of information, he did not know the specific purpose of these things.
There are water wells, bamboos connected to the bamboo forest, various tributes on the altar in the main hall, and three coffins enshrined on the platform.
Everything is so strange and strangely peaceful.
There was no other way. Since he couldn't figure out the meaning of these things, Li Leping didn't worry about it anymore, but chose to return to the temple first and let everyone find a place to rest again.
"Is there always only darkness in this place?"
On the path among the bamboo forests, Jiang Hao, who was returning to the temple along the road, raised his head and glanced at the crescent moon in the sky.
It's almost six o'clock in the morning now.
But the moon in the sky never changed its position, showing no signs of setting. It remained suspended high in the sky, as if it had been nailed to death in the night.
This also makes it seem like there will be no sunlight in this place.
"Some light is better than no light."
Hearing what Jiang Hao said, Li Leping also subconsciously looked up at the moon fixed in the sky.
After the bright moonlight fell on the earth, everyone could not feel any warmth, only an inexplicable cold breath.
Although the moonlight cannot completely illuminate this dim world, for everyone in the temple now, having a little light is already a luxury.
It's better than being so black that you can't even see the ghost when it comes to you.
"Captain Li, what are you thinking about?"
At this time, Jiang Hao was about to say something to Li Leping, but when he turned around, he found that Li Leping lowered his head slightly, his eyes focused, as if he was deep in thought.
Li Leping didn't hide anything and simply said: "There may be a time difference between this place and the ghost train where Gu Li is and our country."
"Jet difference?" Jiang Hao was startled.
Why are you suddenly jet lag?
"There was no way to be sure before, but now that I think about it carefully, the time we arrived at this place by train was probably around one o'clock in the morning. It was also at one o'clock in the morning that the ghost temple and the ghost monk collided, which led to the current mysterious supernatural place.
Land." Li Leping said.
"It's one o'clock in the morning. Is there anything wrong with this time?" Jiang Hao didn't understand.
"What is the time difference between China and Thailand?" Li Leping asked rhetorically.
"Domestic time is one hour ahead of Thai time..."
Suddenly.
As soon as the words came out, Jiang Hao immediately understood what Li Leping meant: "You mean, the time of this temple actually follows the time of the Thai Kingdom? So the time when the outbreak occurred here is actually the time of the Thai Kingdom.
It’s twelve o’clock at midnight, which is exactly one o’clock in the morning in China?”
Li Leping nodded: "Not just here, the ghost train may also be the same. After all, it is a train originating from abroad, and the time on the train must be different from the domestic time."
Analyzing the problem according to the idea of "jet lag", Li Leping thinks that some things seem to be explainable.
"When I and Gu Li were investigating the sixth carriage, we confirmed that there was a ghost in the sixth carriage. However, although we encountered some supernatural phenomena, we never really encountered the ghost."
"Thinking about it now, maybe the reason why this is so is because the time has not really come to a new day, so the train's mission is still in a state that has not been started, and before the mission officially starts, the supernatural suppression of the train always exists, and in the carriage
People and ghosts will naturally be in a strange kind of stability."
"This is just like the supernatural bus incident in China. Because of the supernatural suppression on the bus, the ghost cannot attack people after boarding the bus. Only when the bus is turned off and the suppression in the carriage is lifted, the ghost will start killing people.
."
"Of course, this is just my personal speculation. After all, we have only stayed in this temple for less than half a day. Before experiencing the second day, I cannot 100% guarantee that this inference is correct.
There is no guarantee that this whim can be applied to ghost trains."
"But a little more information is better than nothing. If my guess is correct, then we still have nearly twenty hours of rest time before we start a new day."
"If the guess is wrong, then there is nothing you can do but to resort to tactics."
Hearing this, Jiang Hao next to him nodded seriously.
He knew that it was not easy for Li Leping to use this meager information to deduce some intelligence.
At least, if Li Leping's guess is correct, then those of them in the temple won't have to worry all the time.
Although necessary caution is indispensable in a supernatural land, even ghost controllers are not invincible. If you are frightened all the time, you may be scared crazy by the fear in your heart before you are killed by the ghost.
.
No matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible for him to remain vigilant for eight days in a supernatural place.
"Speaking of which, Captain Li, do you see the reason for the existence of that bamboo forest?"
At this time, Jiang Hao asked again about the bamboo forest behind him, and at the same time looked back at the end of the bamboo forest that had disappeared in the darkness.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I suspect that place is used to bury ghosts."
Li Leping's tone was calm, but the answer he gave made Jiang Hao's brows jump, looking a little surprised.
"Bury the ghost?"
"Yes, but I'm not talking about the kind of burial where you dig a hole, throw the body into the hole and then fill it with soil."
Li Leping explained: "You have also seen just now that after the soil is dug out, new soil will soon be generated to fill the gaps, and when I pour the dug out soil back, the soil will be regenerated again.
Integrate into the ground.”
"In this case, maybe if you place the ghost on the ground and then keep shoveling dirt on the ghost, maybe eventually the dirt on the ghost will be integrated into the land with the ghost."
Jiang Hao thought for a while and said: "It makes sense."
However, he did not fully agree with Li Leping's analysis: "But Captain Li, have you ever thought that ghosts can revive? If we want to bury the ghosts in the way you said, wouldn't it take two people to do it?"
The thing? One person is responsible for continuously suppressing the ghosts, and the other person is responsible for shoveling the soil next to it."
Then, he asked: "And we can't be sure that the ghost will really be covered by the soil after being buried. What if it crawls out again?"
Regarding Jiang Hao's question, Li Leping did not refute: "In fact, as you said, the burial process is too cumbersome, and I am really not sure whether these supernatural soils can really bury ghosts. After all, here is
There are no ready-made ghosts for me to test, and it is impossible for me to kill a ghost master on the spot and then bury his body to see if the ghost in his body will revive."
"I just made a conjecture. Since it is a conjecture, no one knows whether it is right or wrong until it is confirmed."
"If there is no way to confirm whether things will develop as expected, then we can only think divergently and think about everything. At present, my opinion is still based on the original logic, that is, existence is reasonable. Since there is a shovel left here
, then these shovels must be useful, and what else can the shovels do when placed in the open space besides digging soil? Is it possible that we are required to wield the shovels to fight against the evil ghosts? "
While talking, Li Leping and Jiang Hao, plus some ghost masters who followed them, returned to the temple through the back door.
"Tell them that there is nothing else to do now, and let them all go to the steps in front of the hall to repair them."
Li Leping, who returned to the temple, immediately asked Jiang Hao to translate this sentence.
The reason for this arrangement is very simple, because existing signs indicate that if ghosts want to enter the temple, they will most likely come in through the front door of the temple.
Therefore, gathering people in front of the steps to perform repairs can also make it easier to confirm the condition of the front door, so that it will not be too late to react when the door is opened.
And those ghost masters from Southeast Asia were not stupid, and had no objections to Li Leping's request. Even those ghost masters who were unwilling to listen to his orders chose to come to the steps and gather with everyone.
Li Leping found a random step, patted the dust on it, then sat on it, quietly waiting for time to pass.
Good time always passes quickly.
soon.
In a blink of an eye, the whole day passed like this.
And during this whole day, except for the first few hours after entering the temple, no new abnormalities seemed to appear in the following hours.
If there's anything unusual about it, it's that Jiang Hao's complaint seems to be confirmed.
It seems that there is really only night in this place and no day.
The sky here is pitch black from morning to night. The only two lights are one coming from the inexhaustible oil lamp in the hall, and the other coming from the moon hanging overhead.
On the first day, only one person died.
I don’t know if this can be considered a near-miss day.
"Captain Li, it's almost one o'clock in the morning."
Jiang Hao, who was sitting on the steps, glanced at the time, with a look of anxiety on his face.
Because according to Li Leping's previous speculation, one o'clock in the morning is likely to be the handover time for a new day in this place.
The waiting process is undoubtedly very painful, especially in this haunted place. At present, the only way to verify the conjecture is to wait for the problem to come.
In other words, everyone now has to sit quietly in the temple because of the lack of information, waiting for danger to appear on its own initiative, so as to figure out the rules of this place.
"I know."
Li Leping didn't say much. He had been sitting motionless on the steps. If he didn't speak, he might be regarded as a corpse.
He was also waiting, waiting for his conjecture to be verified.
But compared to Jiang Hao's anxiety while waiting, Li Leping was much more magnanimous, or in other words, he didn't think too much at all.
The particularity of his body no longer allows him to develop an overly complex psychology.
Sometimes, he feels that he is like a machine, a machine that is extremely decisive in executing orders under the control of consciousness.
I looked at the time.
It's one o'clock in the morning in China.
Converted, it is exactly 12 o'clock midnight in Thailand.
The second day of eight days has arrived.
According to Jiang Hao's initial guess, a ritual of chanting sutras and worshiping repentance was likely to be held the next day.
According to the procedure of the Dharma Assembly, sutras and prayers need to be chanted on this day, and all the four saints and six mortal beings are expected to come together to listen to the sutras and listen to the Dharma.
However, no one knows what sutras are being recited or what are being worshiped here.
Even because the procedures of Dharma conferences differed from place to place, Jiang Hao was a little unsure as to whether there would be a sutra chanting and repentance ceremony the next day.
"Bang, bang bang."
At one point.
A strange sound appeared.
"Someone is knocking on the door again?!"
A ghost master who heard the noise immediately focused his attention on the front door of the temple, his face full of horror, obviously recalling yesterday's experience.
"No, that's not quite right."
However, the other ghost controller frowned at this moment, listening to the sound in his ears, always feeling a little strange.
It seemed that the sound of banging on the door that reached my ears this time was a little quieter. It was comparable to the sound of a group of drunkards banging on the door yesterday. It was so slight that it was not on the same level.
"Not good!" Suddenly, a ghost controller shouted.
His sudden exclamation could not help but startle everyone who was thinking.
However, when everyone looked at him with dissatisfaction and anger in their eyes.
What the ghost master said next made everyone feel numb.
"The sound came from the main hall."
"Something is tapping on the coffin lid!"
A moment.
The dissatisfaction and anger in everyone's eyes disappeared, replaced by a kind of horror, and the body shook subconsciously.
Is there something tapping on the coffin lid?
If you listen carefully, it does seem a bit similar.
No, I can't say it's similar.
That's the truth.
"How can it be!"
Everyone stood up together, quickly retracted their attention from the front, and suddenly turned their heads to look at the main hall behind them.
However, they discovered that Li Leping and Jiang Hao, who had masks on their faces, had already stood up and ran up the hall several steps at a time, leaving everyone with their backs getting farther and farther away.
"We will follow."
Others did not dare to delay at this time, and there was a faint trace of panic on their faces.
Because no one expected that the problem the next day did not come from outside the temple.
The problem on the second day actually came from within the temple.
It's only the second day, and there's already something wrong with the hall?
Everyone could not help but feel chills in their hearts.
