Sea Mountain Bright Moon

chapter 27

When a person dies, he becomes a ghost, and when a ghost dies, he becomes a dummy. Ghosts fear dummy just like humans fear ghosts.

This is a story Han Lingsha heard from her uncle when she was very young. It is an ancient legend that has been passed down from nowhere. People will become ghosts after death, but ghosts will die, just like people die. When a ghost dies, it will become a ghost, and after the ghost dies, it will turn into a monster called "聻".

Exactly what does "聻" look like?Han Lingsha only fantasized about the shape of monsters that her uncle had never described and she had never seen before when she was a child. Until today when she suddenly remembered, she realized that there is not only the existence of "ghosts", but also "ghosts". , in fact, it was the first time in her life that she actually saw her.

Staring at the nearly transparent and ethereal figure of Solanum nigrum, which is closing its eyes and adjusting its breath, Han Lingsha has only realized the fact that this girl is really a "ghost" until now.

For Han Lingsha, who has been in and out of the wild tombs since she was a child, all kinds of mountain spirits and ghosts should be familiar to her, but in fact, she has more or less encountered all kinds of spirits or monsters in the past when robbing tombs. Visions, heard ghosts crying and laughing, but she has never actually seen a ghost. For her, this can be regarded as a kind of luck.

But why, she has never regarded nightshade nightshade as a "ghost"...or so far, she has never considered this matter.

But even if she is a ghost, Xiaokui is not an ordinary ghost, is she? If she dies again, will she become a "dum"?

Watching Zhao Ling'er adjusting breath for nightshade, and being unable to help herself, Han Lingsha simply walked over to Liu Mengli, who was sitting in the corner with her eyes closed and meditating. No matter how she spoke, she might be a little tired, Han Lingsha felt that she didn't look very well.

Sitting down next to Liu Mengli, Han Lingsha looked at the narrow tomb passage. The ground was covered with palm-sized white talisman papers, and thirteen white candles were inserted on the left and right sides of the wall emitting dim light. The entire tomb path is illuminated in a low and dark way, which makes people feel a little breathless.

Naturally, Han Lingsha has a good memory. The last time they came here to save Zhao Ling'er, they also walked through this path. She had never seen these things at that time. She picked up a piece of talisman paper and glanced at it, only to see the word Wei Shu, upon closer inspection, she could find that it was densely covered with engraved cipher texts. Although she didn't know what it was for, she would not think that someone came here with good intentions to save the souls of the dead.

Originally, he was just worried about the monsters in the tomb, but he didn't expect someone to be there first.

Han Lingsha smiled wryly, recalling that just now when they followed Solanum nigrum into the tomb, they only saw paper money flying around their eyes, and the sound of singing the mantra of rebirth in the Pure Land and the ghost cries of Miaojiang people disappeared. However, Solanum nigrum was affected a lot, and she couldn't come back to her soul for a while, but her aura became weaker and weaker. She and Liu Mengli had no choice but Zhao Linger volunteered to adjust her breath for Solanum nigrum, and just stabilized her breath. remnant soul.

Anyway, there is only this exit in the Huainan King's Mausoleum now, and if you stay here, you won't be afraid that the other party will run away. With Liu Mengli around, Han Lingsha is much more stable, and she is not as anxious and aggressive as before. Everything is fine.

According to the impression from the last time I came here, the entire Huainan Royal Mausoleum is in the shape of a "back". If, as I said before, there is an array of subduing demons and repelling dragons, and if there are four poles in the four directions, the coffin of the old boy Liu An It should be right in the middle, but I have observed carefully when I came here before. Although the passages in the mausoleum are vertical and horizontal, they are not difficult to decipher, but it is always difficult to find the way to the main tomb. I don’t know. Is there something guarded by some agency?

Since the king's mausoleum has set up a trapped dragon formation, the natural structure will not pay attention to Fengshui like other mausoleums, and my previous experience may not work. The next step is probably to take one step at a time. Han Lingsha herself is always on the boat. She has a natural and straightforward personality at the end of the bridge, but she is a little worried about Liu Mengli.

Monsters and ghosts cannot hurt Liu Mengli, but humans can.

Thinking about how to protect Liu Mengli when she bumped into the opposite side for a while, Han Lingsha subconsciously turned her face to the side and stared at Liu Mengli's side face, not sure if she was asleep or thinking about something, Liu Mengli's eyes were tightly closed, under the candlelight , her slender and thick eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyelids. I don't know if it is because the light in the tomb is too dim, her face looks a little gray.

"Lingsha, if you look at me again, you will be called a little daughter-in-law again."

Only Liu Mengli spoke suddenly, but her eyes did not open, she just raised a hand to cover Han Lingsha's eyes.

"If I want to see you, I'll look at you. What's the matter?" Han Lingsha grabbed Liu Mengli's hand and pulled it away, and said with a smile, "Besides, when did I look at you like a little daughter-in-law? You didn't look at me. How do you know I saw you."

Hands... so soft.

"I don't need to look to know that you are looking at me," Liu Mengli also let Han Lingsha pinch her hand, leaning against the wall without moving, and said lightly: "Does it look like a little daughter-in-law?" I didn't say that."

"It's because you didn't discipline those servants in your family well, and let them talk nonsense, and even Ling'er has been taught badly." Having said this, Han Lingsha turned to look at Zhao Ling'er again, and saw her sitting cross-legged on Solanum nigrum In front of him, his hands were placed in mudra on his knees, his eyes were slightly closed, and he looked like Guanyin.

"Ling'er has a special constitution and is born with abundant spiritual power. With her guardian, Xiaokui will be fine, don't worry."

Han Lingsha was startled, and turned her head away, only to see Liu Mengli opened her eyes at some point, looking at Ling'er and Solanum nigrum.

"I think Ling'er has such spiritual power at such a young age. I think it is inseparable from the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag. We have to try to find it this time. If it falls into the hands of someone who wants to, I'm afraid it will lead to serious problems." Disaster."

Liu Mengli was right, the Xuanyuan Water Control Banner was an innate treasure handed down by the ancient gods, regardless of why it was in Zhao Linger's place, if it was really used by gangsters, it would be really bad.

"I, since I met you, I have always encountered endless troubles." Han Lingsha propped her chin with one hand, looked at Liu Mengli with her head tilted, and said with a smile: "I want to find a sister for Xiaokui, and I want to help Ling I have found my home, and now I have to look for the Xuanyuan Controlling Water Flag, look at how many things you have done for me."

Han Lingsha said this at this time just as a joke with Liu Mengli, but she saw Liu Mengli frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, she said: "Lingsha, what you said is that I have indeed implicated you a lot these days. You don't have to accommodate me everywhere, if you don't want to..."

"Don't, don't, don't!" Han Lingsha hurriedly said, "I'm not at all unwilling! I was joking with you just now! I am willing! I am really willing!"

Having said that, Liu Mengli's expression did not relax in the slightest, but as if something had been stirred up by Han Lingsha's words just now, her eyelids drooped slightly, her eyes glistened with silent melancholy.

Han Lingsha regretted so much that she wanted to scratch her ears.

She clearly regards herself as her best friend, and she confesses her life experience to herself without any shyness, but she makes her sad by saying outrageous words.

"By the way, Meng Li! I just heard you talk about spiritual power. Actually, I was a little curious before. Although I haven't practiced spells, I generally know that spiritual power is what we martial arts people say. The internal strength is similar, but you and I have never seen Linger use spells, how do you know that Linger has strong spiritual power?"

Liu Mengli glanced at Zhao Ling'er, and said softly: "...It's just the mutual induction between practitioners. I can feel a very pure and powerful spiritual power in Ling'er, but I still can't understand it. What kind of power is it, so it is speculated whether it is related to Xuanyuan's control of the water flag."

In my opinion, the most incomprehensible thing is you.

Han Lingsha lowered her head and quietly looked at Liu Mengli's hand, saying silently in her heart.

Even with the previous night talk, Liu Mengli is still surrounded by all kinds of fog for her. She knows that Liu Mengli still has many things to hide from her, and there are too many things about her that are difficult to measure with common sense, but She believes that these secrets will be unraveled one by one one day.

Why... I want to know everything about Liu Mengli?

"By the way, I think of something about Xuanyuan's control of the water flag. Although it may not necessarily be related to this place, you should listen to it for the time being." Han Lingsha said: "Speaking of water, Qin before the Han Dynasty You should have heard of Mengli, who ruled the world with the virtue of water."

Liu Mengli nodded slightly, and said: "This is Zou Yan's Five Elements Theory. In the early Zhou Dynasty, Huo De, Qin used water to overcome Huo De, Han Gaozu thought that he was not virtuous because of the pre-Qin tyranny, and the country was not long. , until the time of Emperor Wu, Tude was regarded as righteous. Lingsha, did you remember something, why did you suddenly think of this?"

"No, I just mentioned the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag. We are now in the mausoleum of the Han Dynasty, so I just remembered."

"By the way, Lingsha, I also remembered something."

"what's up?"

"Have you read the book Miss Qin gave you?"

"..." Han Lingsha blushed, turned her head away in embarrassment, and said awkwardly, "I... have seen it."

"Lingsha..." Liu Mengli could only hear a little helplessness in her tone, "Could it be that you...don't like studying?"

No, it's just that I forgot, it's just that whether it's forgotten or I don't like reading, it sounds like a child, this kind of embarrassing thing...

"Hey, sister Lingsha doesn't like to study too?" It just so happened that Zhao Ling'er had finished adjusting her breathing for Solanum nigrum, and one person and one ghost came to the two of them. Seeing Han Lingsha's embarrassed face, she smiled and said, "Ling'er The same is true for my son, since I was a child I was most afraid of reading, when I was in Fairy Island, if I was lazy while studying, I would always be punished for copying, so I am even more afraid of reading."

"Ling'er, Xiaokui!" Han Lingsha stood up, seeing that they were all well, she said to Solanum nigrum, "Xiaokui, how do you feel now?"

"I'm fine, I'm sorry for worrying my sisters," Solanum nigrum shook his head, and said, "I heard the voice of rebirth mantra just now, and I always felt a little familiar, so I wanted to take a look, but I didn't know it. ..."

"Familiar? Xiaokui, have you heard such a voice before?" Liu Mengli also stood up, and said to Solanum nigrum, "Is it recently, or...before?"

"I don't think it's recently," said Solanum nigrum, "but I just feel familiar, and now I still have the feeling of deja vu in retrospect. I must have heard it somewhere else before."

Seeing Solanum solanum's swearing, Han Lingsha couldn't make up her mind for a while, and turned her head to look at Liu Mengli with consulting eyes, but Liu Mengli just shook her head slightly at her.

"By the way, sister Lingsha, sister Mengli... don't you find it strange?" Zhao Linger said suddenly, "It's so quiet here."

"It's a little quiet... Strange..." Liu Mengli seemed to be quite concerned about this, but she didn't seem to have a clue.

Zhao Linger said again: "I mean... there are no ghosts here."

Thinking that Zhao Ling'er would say something amazing with his mysterious appearance, isn't this something obvious? Han Lingsha smiled and said: "What's so strange, maybe all the ghosts here have been killed by the dead just now. The Pure Land Mantra has been released, so there will be no ghosts."

Zhao Linger shook her head seriously, and said, "No, Sister Lingsha, I just said that there are no ghosts, but... there are other things."

"Apart from ghosts, there are probably only monsters left."

"...Sister Lingsha, Sister Mengli, have you guys heard of '聻'?"

"I've heard of it, but..." Han Lingsha glanced at Liu Mengli, seeing Liu Mengli nod slightly, she said again, "'Du' isn't it true that no one has seen it?who knows what. "

"Of course no one has seen it," Zhao Linger blinked and said, "Because only 'ghosts' can see 'dum'."

Both Han Lingsha and Liu Mengli were taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Solanum nigrum, only to see Solanum nigrum frowning and staring at the talisman paper on the ground, then suddenly raised her head, and said loudly: "I remembered !"

Without waiting for the two to answer, she hurriedly said in an excited tone: "Just now, the one who was here just now is the ghost girl! The ghost girl who redeemed the night in Huangquan! She must know where my sister is!"
