Just a moment ago, the cicada reminded me not to apply makeup like a zombie carelessly.
She how did she want to be made up?
For a moment, I was full of doubts and suspicions.
The cicada's lips were slightly pale, and her eyes conveyed unease.
"You don't know a lot of things, don't know...charm is not on me, they will see my face, will see my life, there will be danger."
"Face? Life?"
There are some things I don't understand, but there are also some things that I can guess a little bit.
The enchantment that Kyume previously gave was derived from the pink mist on her body.
I believe that is a form of ghost, actually called a "Charm."
But what does her face and life refer to?
Suddenly, I remembered when my uncle took away my life...
Kyume's charm exists on her body, which she uses actively to cover up and protect herself.
I was about to ask Kyume.
She stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove off.
Later, she said something else.
The so-called safe area in Qi villages is not developed by supervision.
It is because there is a ghost of retribution at the village entrance that the starving ghosts from the deep villages dare not go out, and there isn't much mutual consumption among the ghosts.
That retribution ghost is not complete, and has been injured by a powerful man and even controlled.
Several years ago, an accident occurred in Qi villages, which formed a Class II criminal prison. The master left the retribution ghost here.
The soul-controlling objects were also placed here.
His purpose is to limit the expansion of Qi village's Class II criminal prison through the oppression of the retribution ghost!
To make the retribution ghost come to his senses, one has to actively enter his ghost trap. Once in, it is not easy to get out, unless one can find the item that controls him.
After a pause, Kyume said, "I really didn't expect that you could get out by relying on your connection with Old Gong. In theory, Old Gong is just a Yellow Pages ghost, and even though he's a bit peculiar and has some predictive abilities, it's not very likely that he would maintain such a strong connection with the spirit he embodies, let alone one that can't be separated from the retribution ghost."
My expression changed slightly.
Not because of Old Gong's soul.
It's not because of Old Gong's soul. I had earlier speculated that before Old Gong was frightened to death and fell into the night pot, he had seen a dispersed ghost, which might have absorbed some of its yin qi, even its spirit body.
What makes my heart sink a little is still the Taoist Han Qucun before.
He deceived me!
According to Kyume's words, in order to walk out of the ghost trap, one must find the item that controls the retribution ghost.
How can this possibly be a common experience?
It's probably the most dangerous kind, as failure means death!
So, a common experience would be to capture a blood-avenging evil ghost in the deep village?
This makes me shiver even more.
Do ordinary regulators have the ability to catch blood-avenging ghosts?
But on second thought, there still seems to be something off.
After all, Han Qucun did say that only several years ago, a fellow monk caught a ghost from the deep village and brought it out.
Is there any other way to train in the safe area?
After sorting out my thoughts, I asked Kyume, "Is it true that to become a regulatory Taoist, one must undergo an apprenticeship in the safe area of Qi village?"
Kyume was taken aback for a moment and replied, "That's right, but why did you suddenly bring this up? We were not talking about Old Gong."
I did not hide anything from Kyume. I explained to her the scene I saw when I sensed Old Gong.
and the reason for Old Gong's current state.
After Kyume finished listening, she had a shocked expression and asked, "Did he absorb one of Mr. Master's residual souls?"
"No, it can't be that simple... How could Master collapse and fail to condense his spirit body? Old Gong, a ghost who starved to death, how could he have the ability to digest Master's residual soul?"
For a moment, Kyume remained silent.
The car entered the outer village and was driving towards the village entrance.
No ghosts emerged on either side, and when passing by the spot where Han Qucun fell, there was no sign of a corpse.
This ghost trap is like another space.
After the car had driven half the way, Kyume sighed and whispered:
"I speculate that when the master's consciousness was close to dissipation, his soul disintegrated once again. At that time, Old Gong died and absorbed a strand of the master's soul. After he re-coagulated, he became a ghost without consciousness, and Old Gong could digest a part of his soul, thus gaining a bit of power! The master was not simple. The premonition of Old Gong probably came from fortune-telling skills, and the direction he mentioned earlier belonged to one of feng shui arts. A master with both fortune-telling and feng shui arts must be a yin-yang master……"
"A yin-yang master is particularly special. Many years ago, there was only one, named Qin Wei Zi. But he had a strange personality, you should know him. He had the closest relationship with your Luo family, besides that, he didn't deal with anyone else."
"However, he has been missing for a long time." Kyume added.
My heart suddenly lurched.
Old Qin's strength is so high?
Yinyang Master?
"Oh, it seems that he disappeared before the incident with the Luo family. Otherwise, with his protection, you wouldn't have ended up in this situation today."
Kyume shook her head and then said, "Utilizing this ghost, Old Gong, must serve a great purpose!"
Just at this moment, Kyume suddenly stepped on the brakes.
The car suddenly stopped, and I almost hit the backrest.
"You mean... is it possible that Qin Wei Zi is dead, and Old Gong absorbed a strand of his residual soul? Otherwise, how could the ghost of a yin-yang master suddenly appear out of nowhere for Jin Yang? We need to check the time of Old Gong's death!" Kyume's eyes were filled with shock.
I: ...
Kyume's speculation about Old Gong's head was a bit right, but that was all.
Seeing me not speaking, Kyume furrowed her brow and said, "Everyone has their own fate, you don't have to be so sad. If it's confirmed that the residual soul on Old Gong is Qin Wei Zi's, isn't that some comfort for you as well?"
I: ...
I remained silent, and Kyume also felt somewhat awkward.
Kyume restarted the car and brought the conversation back to the previous issue.
She told me that the safe area in Qi village is indeed a place for Taoist disciples to train, as long as ten ghosts are caught in the outer villages, they can join the regulatory authority.
Therefore, the outer villages are relatively calm most of the time. Firstly, there is a retribution ghost watching over this area, and secondly, they are often caught by Taoist disciples and then released back. All the ghosts are frightened.
Her clear and concise explanation made me realize it all at once.
Han Qucun deceived me, but not entirely.
It seems that finding the control method for the retribution ghost and breaking the ghost trap should be equivalent to capturing a ghost in the deep village, or a higher-level of training.
And Han Qucun was far from an ordinary Taoist.
Unfortunately, he has already died within the safe area.
What was his resolve to persist in coming out?
My pupils suddenly contracted, and I thought of a not very likely possibility...
Han Qucun died at the hands of the retribution ghost.
Normally, the retribution ghost only kills those who do evil.
From Kyume's description, even if the retribution ghost is incomplete and has been controlled by someone, it should not be so absurd as to kill people randomly.
Could it be that Han Qucun discovered some secrets or found out where the control method for the retribution ghost is?!
Therefore, he was killed?
For a moment, my heart beat like a drum!
