A wake-up lamp is burning in front of each cemetery, and behind the soul-watch lamp is a soul-collecting altar. This appearance does not look like an ordinary cemetery. Obviously, this is a forbidden place where an expert has cast a spell.
Looking at the rows of soul-collecting altars in front of me, I felt like a tiger eating a tortoise and not knowing where to start.
No, I don't know where to start.
"Qiao Yang, who does your friend belong to?" Lian Xiaoru asked me.
"Monkey, what's wrong? Is there any explanation for this?" I asked Xiaoru.
"Monkey belongs to metal among the five elements. If this place is a forbidden place for spiritual nourishment designed by humans, some principle must be used to restrain the souls here. The monkey is in conflict with the tiger in the 20th zodiac.
The one who harms each other is the pig. If that expert wants to trap your friend's soul here, he will most likely start with the twelve zodiac signs that are in conflict with each other. If that is the case, the pig and tiger will definitely be used.
"
"This is only analyzed from the perspective of the zodiac. If analyzed from the five elements, it should be wood and fire. Among the five elements, metal overcomes wood. Using wood can consume the attribute of gold. If using fire, it can restrain the attribute of gold. So.
, that expert, if he uses the five elements principle to lay out, he must use wood and fire. These two elements."
Lian Xiaoru analyzed it to me: "If we want to find the soul of your friend from these soul altars, we must first consider the two factors of wood and fire. Presumably, there must be fire or wood around the soul altar.
. Ornaments or containers related to pigs and tigers may also be placed. These are some basic elements of the formation. The restraint of the five elements and the punishment, conflict and harm of the twelve zodiac animals are often the most common principles of the formation.
We might as well consider these two aspects to see if we can find your friend's soul."
Lian Xiaoru explained to me.
"Yeah! I have this idea too. Next, let's search according to the theory you just mentioned! Let's work separately. There are about hundreds of soul altars here, and there should be enough time." I said towards them.
Lian Xiaoru replied.
"Yeah! That's it."
The two looked at each other, nodded, and then went separately to find Yao Hongling's soul altar.
After a while, I heard Lian Xiaoru calling me.
"Qiao Yang, come here. I found something happened here."
I ran over immediately, but just as I took a few steps forward, I suddenly saw a pair of wood-carved copper lamps placed in front of a red tomb. The lamps were filled with oil.
burning.
According to the Five Elements theory, this lamp fits the pattern of metal overpowering wood, and at the same time, fire overpowers metal.
I took a closer look at the lamppost statue of the lamp. There was a monkey carved on the top, and a tiger riding underneath the monkey. The intention was very obvious, which meant that the tiger and the monkey were in conflict.
"Qiao Yang, come here and take a look!" Lian Xiaoru shouted to me again. I had no choice but to run over.
Lian Xiaoru pointed to a lamp that was exactly the same as the one I saw before and said: "Look, this lamp is in line with metal overcoming wood and fire overcoming metal, and at the same time, it has the image of tiger and monkey conflicting. It means that the soul altar here is
It is very likely that the soul of your friend is being accommodated. Judging from the previous Mi Gua, your friend's soul is in danger, and I think it has probably been absorbed into the soul altar."
I smiled bitterly and told Lian Xiaoru about the monkey lantern I just saw on the way.
When Lian Xiaoru heard this, he couldn't help but frowned: "Sorry. I forgot about one problem, that is, there are hundreds of soul collecting altars here, and there are only twelve zodiac signs in total. It is inevitable that there will be the same zodiac signs.
.With so many soul altars, it is very normal to encounter more than ten people with the same zodiac sign. But among these soul altars with the same zodiac sign, which one is the soul of your friend? It is impossible for us to put this together.
Bring back more than a dozen identical soul altars!"
I thought for a while and said: "No matter. Let's first find out the zodiac sign that is most likely to be monkey."
"Okay, take action now."
Lian Xiaoru nodded and seriously carried the soul altar with me.
Following the previous idea, we searched all the altars and finally found seven soul-collecting altars that were suspected to be monkey souls. Because in front of these soul-collecting altars were placed wake lanterns with tigers and monkeys competing against each other.
.
Lian Xiaoru asked me to line up these seven soul collecting altars.
Looking at these seven soul collecting altars, I have a headache. Of these seven soul collecting altars, only a ghost knows which one is the living soul of Yao Hongling.
Lian Xiaoru saw my sad face and gave me an idea.
She asked me to try to use telepathy to sense the soul information in these soul altars.
"Qiao Yang, why don't you give it a try and use telepathy to communicate with these souls. It is said that people with better spiritual power can use telepathy to communicate with the living beings in the soul altar.
Generally, two souls who have been together for a long time have telepathy. Xiaotian and I can telepathically telepathize now." Lian Xiaoru persuaded me.
"OK!"
I followed what Lian Xiaoru said, put my hand on the first soul altar, and began to try to use my heart to communicate with the life forms in the soul altar.
When my hand fell on a dark soul altar, I immediately felt a cold feeling. My whole body seemed to be electrocuted, causing a numbing feeling on my back.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, making my whole body feel chilly.
"well!"
A soft sigh from a woman came from the soul altar in my hand. But it felt as if someone was sighing in my ear. I even clearly felt a touch of cold air blowing on my neck.
"Manager Yao, are you Manager Yao?" I tried to shout in a low voice.
There was no reaction in the soul altar.
Lian Xiaoru on the side stared at me and couldn't help but become a little anxious.
She glanced at me and said: "Forget it, Xiaotian and I will go aside first! I may disturb you here. After all, I am also a soul body now. You and I are too familiar and too close.
, you can’t feel other spirits.”
With that said, Lian Xiaoru walked aside.
At this moment, another gust of wind came, blowing up the dust on the ground.
Dust rolled up from the ground, forming a column of dust smoke.
The dust and smoke gradually dissipated, and then another woman wearing a long white dress appeared with half of her body standing in front of me.
I first saw the other person's arms and legs, as well as the skirt at her feet. But the strange thing was that I couldn't see the woman's head.
As he looked at it, a trace of bright red blood appeared on the woman's chest, and then blood continued to drip down.
The blood was coming from the woman's neck. When I looked carefully at the woman's neck, I couldn't help but be shocked.
The blood gushed out from her neck, and the round neckline of the dress was stained red. Only half of her neck was left above the neckline. The head above her neck was missing, and there were obvious traces of being wiped with a knife.
There was blood constantly gushing out from the neck, like a tiny fountain, surging from time to time, spurting out a small amount of blood. The blood sprayed on the snow-white skirt, immediately dyeing the skirt blood red.
Looking at this cruel scene, my heart was in my throat.
Damn it, he got the wrong person.
This woman is a headless ghost, obviously not Yao Hongling.
"Sister, let's go! I recognized the wrong person." I apologized to the headless female ghost.
"Yeah?"
Suddenly, a strange sound came from underground.
Immediately afterwards, my hand seemed to have been licked by something. It was slippery and sticky. Goosebumps immediately appeared on my body.
When I looked down, I almost fainted from fright.
Damn it, what kind of soul collecting altar is this?
I saw that my hands were holding a bloody human head. The head was opening its mouth and licking my fingers, making my hands full of blood.
"Oh my god! I'm going!"
I threw the human head in my hand to the ground, and soon I heard a "click", and then there was a burst of proud laughter from the front.
"Jiejie! You were finally fooled. You personally smashed your friend's soul to pieces. You were fooled, you were finally fooled..."
A cold and strange voice sounded from my ears.
I looked at the ground and saw that the dark soul-collecting altar had been broken into several halves.
At this moment, I clearly felt a coldness coming from behind me. My intuition told me that there was a ghost standing behind me. This feeling of being strangled was too familiar.
I decisively took out a Heavenly Master Demon Slayer Talisman from my magic bag.
I turned around and saw a woman covered in blood, stretching out a pair of long bloody fingers and pinching my neck.
I picked up the Heavenly Master Ghost Slayer Talisman in my hand and prepared to greet the female ghost in front of me.
I didn't want to, but at this moment I heard Lian Xiaoru shouting loudly.
"Qiao Yang, no! You must not kill her. She is most likely the soul of your friend. You see, there is a shadow behind her. This is the shadow of a living soul, a fresh living soul.
You can see a little shadow. When she really dies, you won't be able to see the shadow."
After listening to Lian Xiaoru's words, I picked up the talisman with my fingers and immediately dropped it again.
But should I kill or not kill this dead woman in front of me? I am extremely conflicted in my heart.
Lian Xiaoru trotted to my side, handed me a mirror, and said seriously: "Take it! Qiao Yang, I suspect that we are entering an ecstasy array. Every human soul here is a
People have cast a spell. They are not souls in the traditional sense. Every human soul here is actually a pawn of the caster, a means used by the caster to harm people. So, wait a moment,
There is no need for us to be soft-hearted and kill ghosts whenever we see them. Come on, look at them with a blood-stained mirror first, so that you can scare away the souls of wandering ghosts."
"Yeah! I know how to do it." I nodded to Lian Xiaoru, and immediately scratched my left middle finger with my nails, and then wrote the word "Feng" on the mirror.
I slowly walked towards the female ghost in front of me, smiled coldly and said, "Reveal yourself to me quickly!"
I picked up the mirror and took a look at the female ghost in front of me. What I saw on the mirror was Lian Xiaoru.
"Jie Jie! You've been fooled, you've been fooled. Put down the mirror in your hands quickly. Don't forget that you two are soul bodies and cannot look in the mirror. And your blood is not human blood at all, but ghost blood. Yes.
The blood on my tongue. Haha! Ghost blood absorbs people's souls. Now you have collected your friend's soul into the mirror. Wait until you slowly turn into a ghost!"
In mid-air, there was suddenly a burst of triumphant laughter from a female ghost, and then a female ghost wearing white clothes and covered in blood fell from the mid-air with her clothes flying and stood in front of me.
The female ghost was extremely cold and charming, with the corners of her eyes raised particularly high, and the corners of her mouth stained with a trace of blood.
"Jiejie! Xiaoru, Xiaoru! What a nice name Xiaoru is!"
The female ghost smiled coldly and approached me step by step. A strong smell of blood hit my face.
"Xiao Ru!"
I shouted, looked back, and suddenly felt inexplicably panicked.
In the empty cemetery, there was no shadow of Xiaoru at all. In front of me, apart from the cemetery, was the Soul Collection Altar.
"No need to look for it, put down the mirror in your hand! If you don't put it down, that girl will die in the soul collecting altar. Did you see that there are two more soul collecting altars in front of you, one big and one small?
, it happens to be that kid and Xiaoru in your eyes."
The female ghost smiled coldly at me, and a trace of bright red blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. The blood kept dripping down drop by drop, and a faint ticking sound could be heard when it fell on the ground.
