Chapter 54
Chapter 54 Raise ghosts
In the middle of the night, in the small courtyard of the village, Zou Heng quietly sat cross-legged by the fire, running the resting method, listening to the sound of one after another snoring from his ear, and the sound of flame jumping in the fire beside him. The very slight noise of insects in the wilderness makes everything around me feel quiet and noisy.
Suddenly, Zou Heng opened his eyes, then stood up, walked into the room behind him, and looked at Zhang Xiaonian, who was sitting on a small wooden stool, who had obviously begun to doze off, and nodded to him. Then said in a very soft voice.
“It’s almost time, you can go back and have a rest, then I will guard!”
Hearing Zou Heng’s words, Zhang Xiaonian stood up and nodded softly. Without saying a word, he walked out.
After Zou Heng waited for him to go out, he reached the place where Zhang Xiaonian was just now, and looked at the three people who were sleeping on a tukang in the room.
He had vaguely heard that King Ni’s breathing became a little heavy, even the princess next to him. Obviously the sleep of the two of them was very shallow. Even if he tried his best to keep quiet, they still seemed to be annoyed by himself. I woke up, only after knowing that the person who came was me, I continued to close my eyes through sleepiness.
Zhang Xiaonian walked out of the room, looked at the burning fire in the yard, and then looked at the few houses again. Hearing the faint snoring sound from inside, he was a little sleepy and gave up. Plan.
This kind of farmyard, even if the two yards are connected together, there are not a few houses in total. It accommodates so many people to rest, and it has almost occupied the place. Zhang Xiaonian is not very used to being crowded with people. He was on the road before. When he was squeezed in the cave, he didn’t have a good rest that night.
I sat down by the fire, opened my mouth and yawned, and was about to pick up a piece of wood and add another firewood to the fire. Suddenly, a cold wind hit, and Zhang Xiaonian slapped abruptly. A shiver, the fire in front of him, the flames suddenly weakened a lot.
The soldiers on duty nearby also shivered with the same cold at this time. They couldn’t help tightening their shirts and shrinking their necks.
“Strange, this village is not in any ravine, and the wind at night is so cold!” After a shiver, Zhang Xiaonian continued to throw the wood in his hand into the fire, and then he spoke as if he was underestimating in a low voice, and like He was talking to a few soldiers watching the night beside him.
When he finished saying these words, the sudden cold wind stopped, but Zhang Xiaonian still felt that the surrounding temperature seemed to be slightly lower than before.
The decrease in temperature made his original plan to sit by the fire and stay up all night, but he was a little shaken in an instant. He also wanted to enter the house, even if he didn’t rest well, at least it wouldn’t be as cold as outside.
Turning his head and glanced at the rooms in the yard, Zhang Xiaonian figured out which room he would go to rest in, except for the one where King Niu had been.
But just as he cast his gaze on these rooms, suddenly, from the outside of his vision, he seemed to see a dark shadow at the door of a room, entering the house, waiting for him. When he fixed his eyes, the black shadow disappeared again, as if he had been dazzled for a while.
However, Zhang Xiaonian doesn’t feel that he is really dazzled for a while. Now he has some understanding of the situation of King Ren. In addition, Zou Heng specifically explained today that bad things may happen, so he will not be concerned about such things. Take it lightly.
At the moment, Zhang Xiaonian stood up immediately and ran back to the room in a few steps. Regardless of how his actions would wake up King Ren, he spoke directly to Zou Heng who had just sat down.
“I just saw a dark shadow in the yard. It flashed at the door of a house and disappeared!”
When Zou Heng heard Zhang Xiaonian’s words, he immediately stood up. After two steps to the door, Zou Heng raised his hands, fingers and sword fingers, and drew them in front of his eyes. In the middle, two green lights appeared, becoming like the pupils of beasts.
Zou Heng, who had performed the eye-opening technique, swept his gaze toward the courtyard. As far as he could see, he didn’t notice any abnormalities. But soon, Zou Heng felt that the surrounding temperature seemed to be something wrong, compared to the one he had just entered. At that time, the temperature was obviously much lower, which is somewhat unreasonable.
Zou Heng originally wanted to go out and check it out, but when he glanced at the three people on the Tu Kang, Zou Heng did not act rashly, but turned his head and asked Zhang Xiaonian.
“You should also open your eyes, cast a spell, and then take two soldiers to each room to have a look, and wake up all the soldiers by the way!”
Hearing Zou Heng’s words, Zhang Xiaonian hesitated a little, and then nodded, then raised his hands, fingers and sword fingers, instead of drawing past his eyes like Zou Heng did, but pointing his fingers towards him. There was also a green light in his temples.
What he performed was also an eye-opening technique, and the movements were slightly different from those of Zou Heng, but the effect was not that different. If anything, the two had different levels of mastery of this technique, and Zou Heng had already mastered the state of proficiency. , Zhang Xiaonian is still an introductory stage.
Watching Zhang Xiaonian, who had performed the eye-opening technique, took two soldiers with a lighted candle and started to explore those rooms, Zou Heng stood at the door of the room, watching him walk into the door not far away. .
At the same time, King Ren and Princess Wang who are sleeping on the Tukang have already sat up. Before something happens, they can close their eyes and rest as much as possible, but now that something has happened, they naturally can’t continue to sleep. Go down.
Because of the guarding relationship, the two slept together all night, so after sitting up, they were able to get out of bed immediately.
Zou Heng glanced back at King Ren, nodded to him to comfort him, and then looked in the direction of the house over there.
I saw that in the room over there, Zhang Xiaonian took a candle and walked in with two soldiers. There was light in the room. Some soldiers woke up immediately, but then, Zou Heng saw that the light in the room went out. Up.
Then, Zhang Xiaolong suddenly jumped out of the room, and the soldiers in the room also ran out after him. They even pulled out their weapons one by one. If they weren’t well-trained in the usual days, maybe a few people would already be there. It’s messed up, and waving a weapon might hurt someone next to him.
At this time, Zou Heng suddenly rushed out of the room and rushed into the house. At the same time, he took out the magic instrument oil lamp from his bag and lit the flame of the oil lamp.
Under the effect of the flame of the oil lamp and the eye-opening technique, Zou Heng saw that a dark shadow was moving on one of the walls of the room, but before he could do anything, the dark shadow seemed to be affected. The shock disappeared into the wall in an instant.
Zou Heng glanced around in the room again, and found nothing else, then stepped back two steps and came to the yard.
Taking a look at Zhang Xiaonian who was standing there, Zou Heng walked up to him and asked directly: “What did you see in the room just now?”
When Zhang Xiaonian heard the words, his expression suddenly became awkward, and then he spoke with a weak tone: “Um, I actually didn’t see anything clearly, but as soon as I entered, there was a strange wind blowing, blowing out the thing in my hand. Candles, and then I felt as if someone was behind my back, blowing air towards my neck, so I hurriedly backed out!”
Zou Heng heard the words and didn’t say anything, but when the soldiers around heard what Zhang Xiaonian said, all of them were very depressed. They were scared by Zhang Xiaonian just now, thinking there was some danger, so they rushed out of the room in a hurry. Came out.
But after such a toss, the people in the team are almost all awake now. Everyone stood in the yard. After explaining the situation to each other, they all turned their eyes on Zou Heng. At this time, Zou Heng fell into thinking. in.
According to Zhang Xiaonian’s description, plus what he saw before, Zou Heng can roughly judge that the dark shadow in the wall just now is probably a ghost.
There is no such thing as the six reincarnations in this world. People’s death lamp is extinguished, and the body’s soul is lost. This is the more common cognition. However, due to various reasons, some people’s souls do not immediately disappear after death. It will survive.
The soul that remained and did not dissipate would almost always turn into evil, which was slightly different from the resentment that everyone encountered in the deserted area.
The vast majority of evil spirits have no sense of intelligence, just like the evil spirit encountered in the wilderness, they also have no sense of intelligence, but if there are sorcerers who know how to raise ghosts to captify this kind of evil, then these deaths After the soul still exists, it is possible to keep one’s thoughts and memories, and such existence is called a ghost.
Among the magic arts of warlocks, there is a special technique for raising ghosts, which is said to be very powerful, but it is very dangerous to practice this kind of magic, because ghosts are also evil, but compared to some ordinary evils. However, ghosts still retain the thoughts and memories they had before alive.
As time goes by, the thoughts and memories in life will gradually be distorted and become more and more dangerous.
Zou Heng heard a story from his former master. He said that there was once a small country, located in the territory of today’s Qi country. There was a ghost raised by a magician who practiced the art of raising ghosts. The ghost was out of control, and then overnight, not only Killed the sorcerer who raised ghosts, and completely wiped out the little pot.
It can be seen from this that it is indeed very dangerous to practice the technique of raising ghosts to drive evil spirits. However, since raising ghosts is indeed very convenient for warlocks to come, even if this kind of magic is dangerous, there are still so many warlocks. Learning such a technique, the inheritance is always endless.
Zou Heng guessed that tonight, they should have met a ghost-raising warlock.
