Chapter 79 The Elegy of the Wandering Soul
However, no matter how terrible it is, I have arrived in Taipei City and I have no reason to retreat.
It has been almost 1 minute since I stood here. A ghost not far away noticed me, an "uninvited guest", and showed some suspicion and walked towards me.
As the saying goes, ghosts walk around, but now surrounded by so many ghosts, I finally see clearly.
They also walk like normal people, but because they have no body, their steps cannot fall into the "reality". Even if they are infinitely close to the ground, they cannot contact the ground, so there is a saying that ghosts are floating when walking.
Because their existence is strictly just an existence that affects our brain.
Any Taoist magic, without superstitiousness, is to use means that modern science cannot explain temporarily to interrupt this influence, which is the so-called "exorcism".
As for the destruction of ghosts, cultivators generally do not take action easily unless they are absolutely necessary. You should know that it is the most cruel thing to kill the "person" until it is lost.
I was thinking about these things in a mess.
I had to think that just because moving forward in such a place requires extraordinary courage, I gritted my teeth and walked into the group of ghosts. Facing countless ghosts, they passed by, or were curiously staring at me at a very close distance, I could only lower my head, look at their feet, think about these messy things, and then move forward slowly.
I can't be fast, I can't be excited, I can't even be afraid.
You can't take action against any ghost, if it is not a last resort.
I have never experienced this feeling, so I can't understand it at all... Just like a person who is most afraid of mice, he has to walk in a place full of mice, let the mice crawl over their feet, their bodies, and even emerge from anywhere, looking at them, and they have to walk slowly and calmly.
At this time, I finally realized the strength of the medicine given by the old beast.
Facing a guy like me who broke in with "uniqueness", even though these ghosts were puzzled, no ghost was rashly attacking me or attacking me in groups.
No matter how terrifying the place is, people will become numb after walking for a long time.
Even though I was not fast, I passed through this alley and walked into another alley after more than ten minutes.
This Taipei City seems to be a slum. Basically all buildings are suppressed and crowded. The same is true for the newly entered alleys. Most of the low buildings are closed with the doors closed. Groups of ghosts are guarding in front of the gates, passing in and out from time to time. If you meet a house with a master, it will inevitably be a battle, a round of competition.
I walked slowly and saw some clues.
It seems that the ghosts in this city care very much about having a house that "stays in peace". Countless chaos and struggles are caused by this house, but I don't know the reason behind this.
They seemed very busy, and all their attention was on those houses, so they didn't have time to care about me.
But there were also three or five boring ghosts who were "idle" and followed me all the way. One of them almost wanted to "pull up" my hat, wanting to see clearly the face under my hat.
But after all, there is a difference between humans and ghosts. How can it hold up my hat? Unless it is a powerful ghost, it can have a certain impact on the physical world at will.
Unless ordinary ghosts are fully focused or even consumed, they can have a tiny impact on the physical world.
There is nothing like pulling a hat, but once it tries to do this, I will concentrate coldly and ruthlessly, glar at it fiercely, and dispel its impolite behavior.
In fact, I can't let these ghosts touch anywhere in my body. Once their empty bodies touch the entity, the effect they produce is to "penetrate" each other.
It's like I can't touch them, and they can't touch the effects I produce.
Once this happens, my identity will be revealed. Therefore, when I walk in this place, not only do I have to maintain a stable situation, but also show my strength from time to time, so that these ghosts with unknown intentions will know that I am a "hard to crack" bone and dare not provoke easily or even cross the boundaries.
This way of moving forward is like walking on thin ice!
But looking at these ghosts wandering here and fighting constantly, a hint of sadness also appeared in my heart.
No existence can be eternal, this is the way of heaven... Just like a soul must enter the cycle of reincarnation. For various reasons, the final outcome will definitely not be too good unless there is your own opportunity.
Because of resentment, the evil ghosts and souls left by the unsolvable knots will not be mentioned for the time being.
The most pitiful thing is those spirits that have not had time to enter the samsara for various reasons, which are generally called lonely ghosts.
At certain times, secular Taoism and Buddhism will choose to do rituals for them, to be salvation or to give them... The ultimate reason is that existence is not eternal truth.
The existence of ghosts is the soul, and the core of the soul is the will, which then includes some complex things, such as the thinking ability dominated by the will, the stored memories, the contained memories, etc. After aging, you will forget many things from childhood a long time ago.
What about the floating ghosts? Over time, their memories will dissipate, and their thinking ability and memory will become weak with the weakness of their will... After all, this is the world of the sun, not a place suitable for ghosts to stay. No matter how abundant the Yin energy is, it is still the world of the sun!
As one goes up and down, these lonely ghosts will eventually become existences similar to human beings' mentally retarded, leaving only some instincts and floating ignorantly.
At the end, you will eventually be scattered in this world of sunshine.
That's why it's the most pitiful thing to be able to bear, because many lonely ghosts are so innocent?
The same is true for the sadness in my heart. How many years have I experienced from Daqin to this day? Judging from their appearance, many of these ghosts have lost Qingming Festival. What remains is instinctive struggles, and even more cruelly devour them, devouring the other party's soul power to support themselves.
If it weren't for the special environment here, I'm afraid the ghosts here will not be far from dissipating, right?
Of course, there are exceptions to everything. There are extremely powerful existences among pure ghosts. Even if they cannot escape from the rules of the laws of heaven, their power is much more comfortable than these lonely ghosts.
Just like that Lord Bai.
I don’t know why I remembered it... I was silent for a moment, but chose to move forward!
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from my will: "You said, are we dead or alive?"
I suddenly turned my head and a wandering soul silently invaded me, but I didn't even know that this sudden change made me alert and guarded.
What I saw was a wandering soul who was obviously cleaner and nobler than other wandering souls. He was probably middle-aged and his eyes seemed to be "clear" than those wandering souls.
But a wake-up call suddenly sounded in my heart, because there was a thin layer of black aura next to the wandering soul, which clearly meant that resentment was about to turn into hostility, and this ghost was about to turn into a ghost.
It looked at me with "hope" and followed my steps all the way.
Seeing me silent, I continued to ask: "When you came in, I saw you. Are you an adult outside this messy area? Do you have to know something? Sometimes I suspect that I am dead, and I just want to know whether I am dead or alive?"
As he spoke, the black air on its body began to fluctuate, and some of its unstable breath seemed to break down at any time, and then it penetrated into its body and made it a ghost.
How should I answer this kind of thing? And at such a close distance, as soon as I open my mouth, I will reveal my yang energy, thus revealing my identity as a human being.
Although I am also sad for these ghosts, how can they not know that they are already ghosts after so many years? It’s just... I guess that they can’t enter the cycle of reincarnation and have no clear guidance, which makes them unconscious, or they dare not admit this fact at all.
So, my final choice was to suddenly release my powerful soul power, use my soul power to push away the ghost, and then "glare" it with a warning, and then continue moving forward.
I pushed the ghost away suddenly, and I knew I must be stronger than it.
For a moment, hesitated and dared not go forward, but the expression in my eyes became more and more crazy... How dare I forget the person I had never walked through the first alley? That was because I was attacked by a ghost king.
How dare I cause trouble here? After warning it hard, no matter how changes it changed, I just lowered my head and continued to move forward while it was afraid to keep up.
Because I just showed my skills, the three or five ghosts who followed me all the way finally felt the danger, and when the ghost was pushed away, they also dispersed.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that proper decisiveness was also necessary.
As for the ghost that was about to be crazy, I still followed me from afar, but I couldn't care about these things.
Soon, I walked through two more alleys and everything went smoothly.
