"I don't care about so much now. I just want to make the best use of everything. Let's bury the ghost first."
Looking at the shrinking open space, Li Leping still planned to bury the ghost here.
Because there is no other choice.
The supernatural land that everyone is in is very large, with flower fields, temples and bamboo forests.
But now the only place that can seal the evil ghost is the open space under your feet.
Unless he releases the ghost swamp where he is imprisoned and lets the ghost swamp swallow up some of the ghosts again, he will have no choice but to bury the ghosts in this bamboo forest.
As for whether such behavior will cause problems in a certain link later, that is something that needs to be considered later.
Anyway, there are already a lot of hidden dangers in this place, one more is nothing.
"All right."
Jiang Hao gritted his teeth and knew that the current situation was getting worse, so he could only use the most extreme method to deal with the immediate problem first.
After all, if they don't deal with what's happening now, how can they think about what's going to happen next?
After saying that, he immediately commanded the other two ghost masters and took action.
Li Leping didn't rest either. He picked up a shovel and started shoveling dirt on each of the ghosts he brought over.
When the soil on the ghost's body accumulates to a certain extent, the ground beneath it will begin to squirm, sinking the ghost's body to the ground like quicksand.
soon.
One by one, the fierce ghosts were swallowed up by this open space, and the ropes that bound them became part of this land.
"It's all done."
Li Leping glanced around and made sure that all the corpses he brought had been buried, and then he immediately continued: "Go back to the main hall. If the ceremony of inviting people to come down has been completed, then the fifth day will also pass, and the sixth day should be
It will be here soon.”
He didn't dare to delay, because the speed of time in this place had been problematic since the third day. The passage of time was no longer based on the twenty-four hours in reality, but based on the opening of each ceremony.
standard.
According to the previous experience, it can be analyzed that when a ceremony is completed, a new messenger will return to the temple immediately as a signal for a new day.
And when a new day comes, they, the living people in the temple, have to find a way to confirm what ceremony will be held today, and then find a way to complete the ceremony and survive today's crisis.
"good."
Jiang Hao didn't delay, and he and Li Leping rushed towards the temple along a path in the open space.
Although the path leading to the back of the temple is narrow and dim, and the bamboo forests planted on both sides also raise the depressing atmosphere to the extreme, if you can endure the restlessness in your heart and rush forward with all your strength, you can actually make it back in less than half a minute.
We're at the temple.
Open the door and walk into the temple.
The four of them did not speak for the first time after entering the door. Instead, they pricked up their ears in unison, listening quietly to see if there was any movement. At this moment, they all looked towards the main entrance of the temple.
Because according to previous experience, if a new day is coming, then some strange phenomenon will definitely occur inside and outside the temple.
For example, the sound of knocking wooden fish when the messenger came back, or the four burning oil lamps, all hinted that they were no longer in the same period as the previous day, but a new day.
However, after the four people returned to the temple at this time, they did not hear any strange noises.
The empty temple remains quiet. It was the same when I left, and it was still the same when I came back.
Jiang Hao's eyes moved and he looked at the silent temple in front of him: "It seems that it's not the sixth day's ceremony time yet?"
"Maybe it's because today's ceremony was not really completed, so it's not a new day?" Li Leping said thoughtfully.
"You mean about the fourth ghost?"
Jiang Hao immediately realized what Li Leping was referring to. Although there were some signs that four ghosts would come to the temple during the invitation ceremony on the fifth day, they only found traces of three ghosts from beginning to end.
"Let's wait and see. There is too little information here. The speculations we make are sometimes quite forced, without much factual support. They are inferences made by observing details."
Li Leping was not in a hurry, because there was no use in being anxious.
If there are any problems that are not dealt with cleanly, problems will always be exposed later.
Although many people hope to nip the problem at its inception and prevent it from happening, it is not so easy to detect the signs when dealing with supernatural events. After all, the supernatural itself is highly uncertain, and it is difficult to predict exactly what will happen.
of.
At this moment, the four of them had climbed the steps and arrived in front of the main hall again.
However, they did not enter the main hall, but stayed outside the hall door.
This is a condescending spot and is the best observation point, overlooking most areas of the temple. It is very suitable for confirming the conditions everywhere, especially at the gate.
If there is any emergency outside the temple gate, they can clearly see it. At the same time, if there is any new movement in the main hall, they can also go back and deal with it in time.
"Please come down to the hall" means to invite all living beings to attend the Dharma assembly. The meaning of conferring the Netherworld Precepts is to give the Bodhisattva Precepts to the dead to keep them, stay away from all evil karma, resolve their grievances and karma with all people in the Yang Realm, and obtain
relief."
While watching the door in front of the palace, waiting for changes to appear, Li Leping recalled what happened before.
"If these elements are substituted into the Dharma gathering here, then the ghosts who came to the hall today should be equivalent to the 'beings' who came to participate in the Dharma gathering, and the ghost in the coffin should be equivalent to the previous ones.
One day, the ghosts in the "Invite to the Hall" period played a position similar to that of a master mage, responsible for suppressing those ghosts that did not exist in reality, and pulling them into reality with the ring for imprisonment.
"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "So conceptually speaking, the process of dealing with ghosts in this place is really in line with the so-called Water and Land Dharma Assembly process."
"What about the offerings to the lower court?"
He thought about this question, which was also related to their next life and death.
Because after the "please come down to the hall" ceremony, the ceremony on the sixth day is called the "offer to the hall" ceremony.
"The meaning of folk offerings to the lower hall is to prepare treasures to donate to the lower hall. The lower halls that receive donations are actually the so-called sentient beings in the six realms."
He recalled what Jiang Hao said about the concept of offering sacrifices to the lower hall.
The human realm is enlightened and true, the Asura realm is to tame the angry mind, the hungry ghost realm is full of contentment, the animal realm is self-sufficient in wisdom, and the hell realm is free from imprisonment forever. The so-called offering to the hall is actually a purpose in the final analysis, to satisfy all sentient beings in the six realms.
"So, will satisfaction be the key to the sixth day?" Li Leping thought to himself.
"But if you are satisfied..."
He couldn't help but turn his head and look at the black coffin placed on the left side of the altar, feeling inexplicably uneasy in his heart.
"This is a haunted place, and for the ghost, maybe putting the puzzle pieces together is a kind of satisfaction?"
After reasoning step by step, Li Leping came up with such a shocking conjecture.
"If this is the case, then the ghost who came to the temple on the day of the ceremony might be..."
Sudden.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three loud sounds came from the hall.
A heart-shaking movement instantly interrupted Li Leping's contemplation.
New changes have appeared, which is like an early warning, telling everyone something in a speechless situation.
The sixth day has arrived.
Look around.
In the main hall, the two extinguished oil lamps seemed to never light up again. It was precisely because of the lack of illumination from these two oil lamps that the dim light emitted by the remaining two oil lamps when burning seemed a bit dim in the huge hall.
Overstretched.
The originally bright hall seemed to be getting darker and darker as the ceremony progressed, as if it was being shrouded in darkness like the outside of the temple.
And it was in this hall where the light became increasingly dimmer and a cold atmosphere floated.
On the altar.
The coffin on the left is shaking constantly, getting bigger and bigger.
"Why is it this coffin again?"
Jiang Hao's expression changed when he heard the sound. He turned around and looked at the black coffin that was shaking again. He couldn't help but cursed loudly.
I never expected that this change would happen from within, and it would be the same coffin placed on the left side of the altar.
Before the expected envoy had returned, something went wrong in the hall behind them.
"Bang bang!"
But Jiang Hao's secret curse was like an incompetent rage, unable to contain the source of the movement in the coffin, and as a few seconds passed, the banging sounds from the coffin became louder and louder.
The sound coming now is no longer a matter of clarity, but a violent knocking sound, as if the corpse in the coffin is hitting the coffin impatiently, so that the whole coffin is shaking, and even the coffin is shaking.
The coffin lid covering the coffin body showed signs of shifting due to repeated shaking.
"Will the ghost who found his face finally fully recover today?"
What Li Leping said was not a guess, but an absolute certainty.
He saw that not only the lid of the wooden black coffin had problems while it was shaking, but even the body of the coffin had some cracks. It was as if the coffin had truly reached its limit and its supernatural power was rapidly losing its effect.
, the things inside can no longer be suppressed.
"what to do?"
Looking at the shaking coffin, Jiang Hao couldn't help but swallow nervously, and the sound of the coffin cracking even echoed in his ears.
There is no doubt that if left alone, this coffin will definitely be broken by the struggle of the evil ghost inside.
"Wait a minute, did you hear anything?"
Suddenly, the fear on the face of a ghost controller became a little more intense, and he said these words tremblingly.
"What?"
Jiang Hao subconsciously turned his head to look at him, but as soon as he turned around, his eyes immediately opened wide with an expression of extreme shock.
"Tuk tuk tuk..."
The moment when I look back.
A slightly vague, but particularly noticeable sound at this moment came into my ears.
"The messenger has returned to the temple."
Li Leping's face darkened.
He had noticed this before anyone else.
This incident undoubtedly makes the current situation worse.
The ghost in the hall finally woke up today after putting together the puzzle pieces, and at this moment began to try his best to break the coffin in which it was imprisoned.
That is, in this dangerous situation.
There are signs of the third messenger's return.
The sound of wooden fish is a signal.
this moment.
Everyone's hearts sank involuntarily, their hands and feet felt cold, their brains went blank, and they once again felt the despair of a wolf in front of them and a tiger behind them.
"This is how to do?!"
Apart from Li Leping and Jiang Hao, one of the two remaining ghost masters alive today said in horror, his tone becoming sharp at this moment, full of fear.
Haven't waited for anyone to answer.
A wave of darkness suddenly rushed in from outside the temple, and in the blink of an eye the temple door was covered inside, making it impossible to see anymore.
This darkness is very similar to the darkness I saw when I went to the church before. It is suspected to be a ghost land. Nothing can be seen clearly inside. But as soon as people outside enter, they will be completely swallowed up by this strange darkness and disappear into the darkness.
among.
"No..."
Looking at the darkness as thick as ink pouring in, Jiang Hao felt that his heart had stopped beating.
What made his heart beat again was the coffin on the altar.
"Bang bang bang!"
The vibrations from the coffin became larger and larger, and the lid of the coffin was even lifted for a moment, but fortunately it was pressed back down again.
It's just that the condition of the coffin itself is getting worse and worse. The thick wooden boards have been damaged by the struggle from the inside, and some wood chips have fallen from the surface of the coffin.
It won't be long before the supernatural power of this coffin can no longer support it, and the coffin itself will surely shatter to pieces.
And once that happens, nothing can stop the evil spirit in the coffin.
This is a ghost that has all the puzzle pieces put together, and the level of terror will only be higher than before.
And what makes people feel the most dangerous is that as the puzzle pieces of the ghost are put together, the ghost's killing pattern will become more and more unsolvable, and in some cases it will even grow to the point where it is impossible to avoid it. Even if you have insight into the killing pattern,
There is no use anymore.
"This can't go on like this."
In panic and anxiety, Li Leping looked heavy and looked at the remaining people as if he had made up his mind.
"Captain Li, do you have a response plan?"
Jiang Hao's eyes seemed to be ignited with hope and his eyes were bright.
"Bring out a stick of incense." Li Leping said.
Jiang Hao immediately followed the instructions and took out a stick of incense that he kept in his bag.
Looking at the incense, Li Leping's deathly numb face revealed a dignified expression: "Time is running out, listen carefully to what I say."
"Next, I want you to light an incense stick, and then you stay in the hall and stabilize the ghost in the coffin. During this time, I will rush into the darkness and deal with the ghost inside. When you see the outside
When the darkness dissipates, immediately take this incense and walk out of the hall, come here and take the ghosts that I have temporarily suppressed to the bamboo forest for burial."
"But before leaving the hall, I want you to light a second incense and leave it in the hall."
