The place for this trip is a relatively remote village.
Of course, Yu Ling would not refuse. She had long wanted to get rid of this master. Although he had taught many methods, including how to recognize the essence of things, she also admitted that she had learned a lot, but she was unable to adapt to the master's character.
She also mentioned to her master's wife that she wanted to practice alone with her, but the master's wife was obviously unwilling to leave her master. Although she didn't know the reason, she would not force her. To be honest, she also wanted to know the story between the two of them.
Her life with Ji Dao made her feel more or less uncomfortable, but she couldn't say that this discomfort was just like instinctively inspired, which was indeed a very strange feeling.
She also wanted to go out to the outside world. She thought that she should have learned the wisdom that the master taught him, and that her strength had been roughly formed, so it was time to make a living.
In addition to seeing the vastness of the world, Yuling has some emotional germination at this age. She also wants to meet her own love and have a beautiful life. This is what she thinks now.
......
The master said that he hid something in an ancient castle in this small village and asked Yu Ling to pick it up. If it was taken, he would allow her to go outside.
At this moment, she was standing in front of the ancient castle.
This house looks more or less a hundred years old. From the appearance, no one has lived in it for a long time. The vines have climbed up to its exterior wall, and the courtyard is full of weeds. Can you still see one or two rats running over? A cold breath came out from it. Yu Ling felt a little cold, but she pushed open the iron railing.
Squeak-
A sound that made her hair stand up all over her body came, and Yu Ling shivered suddenly. It was the first time she had come to such an environment. The previous master had never asked her to go to any ancient castle.
But at this time, Yu Ling's eyes flashed and some traces were found. These were all given to her by the Extreme Taoist teachings, and she didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
It is obvious that the weeds here have traces of trampling, and someone must have been here in recent days. Yu Ling originally thought he was a master, but then he found traces of completely different directions. It is obvious that from the perspective of strength and pace, these traces belong to two people.
"Have the master's wife come with the master, too?"
Yu Ling scratched her head. In her impression, the master and her wife never set the exam questions together. They teach some knowledge separately and always take exams separately. Is it because this is a graduation assessment?
Yu Ling didn't think much about it, but looked forward. The ancient castle gate in front of him opened a crack about two centimeters wide, and there seemed to be some faint light inside, and the cold wind blew out from that gap.
Huhu--
At this time, another cool breeze hangs, brushing the fallen leaves on the ground and moving them. The Yulings realize that they have not used their soul power to resist the cold. A warm feeling comes from their limbs, and that kind of coolness is of course gone.
But a girl in her early twenties was inevitably a little scared when encountering such a scene. Moreover, although Yu Ling was lively and cheerful, she was not the kind of courageous type.
She swallowed, then gently pushed the door.
call--
What caught her eye was a deep corridor, but torches were lit on both sides. With the light, the heart was finally let go of a little. The master still understood himself, at least he gave himself a little light.
But just as she relaxed a little, suddenly, a slight sound came into her ears with the breeze. She was clever and then took a step back!
The sound came from inside the corridor.
The doors on both sides were open. After stopping for three seconds, Yu Ling took another step. At this time, a drop of cold sweat appeared on her forehead. This ancient castle should have been uninhabited for a hundred years. How could it make a sound when it was worn?
Yu Ling looked at the internal facilities of the doors on both sides and saw that it was the ordinary living room, but because there were no one living there for too long, there were already spider webs, and the dust was spread layer after layer.
Yu Ling still couldn't calm down. She didn't know the location before, so she asked the villagers here about the information about the ancient castle. But she didn't know that it would be fine if she didn't ask. As soon as she asked about it, she became scared of this action.
According to villagers, this castle has been abandoned for a hundred years. It was built by a local gentry, so the specifications are different from the civilian houses next to it.
But this gentry was not as simple as it seemed. The establishment of this ancient castle was finally discovered as a "prison" he used to imprison the girl. However, when the face of this gentry was discovered, there were already more than a dozen girls' bodies displayed in the basement.
After that, the gentry naturally accepted the trial, but such a "mansion" is indeed very attractive. Some villagers lived in it, and the castle was large enough that there was no need to worry about the crowding.
But gradually, a terrible statement came out. Several villagers moved out of the castle because they were haunted! It is said that when they were sleeping, they would always hear intermittent crying from the basement, some people saw someone shaking in front of their door in the middle of the night, and some people would hear inexplicable footsteps, but when they turned their heads, there was nothing.
The "name" of this ancient castle gradually became louder, and some people who did not believe in ghosts moved in. But in the end they all withdrew. Over time, no one lived in this ancient castle anymore and became deserted.
This legend was passed down for so long because in that era, such ghost things always made mortals feel fearful, and indeed, this incident had a great impact.
Yu Ling also asked Qian Xuan about ghosts and gods. Qian Xuan's explanation at that time was that some of the "ghosts" actually had the "obsession" before people died. Although mortals cannot practice, it does not mean that their consciousness does not have energy. If this obsession before death is extremely deep, then mortals may be able to temporarily overcome the hurdle of the cultivator, and that person's figure may be preserved, similar to the cultivator's soul.
In this way, there are naturally some "ghosts" that are actually the souls of monks, but if the souls do not have a body for a long time, they will naturally dissipate, so most of this type of ghosts disappear naturally.
There are also some ghosts that are said to be another kind of life form, and there are all kinds of strange things in the world, and this kind of life form that resembles ghosts.
But there are still some who don’t know what it is. In fact, the monks are mainly afraid of this kind of ghost, but Qian Xuan doesn’t know what it is.
Although I know the principle of possibility, it is impossible to say that Yu Ling is not afraid of it. It is human instinct to be afraid of unknown things unless you are not human.
Yu Ling now blames the master for choosing such a place. Isn’t this intentional to scare himself? Or is he just trying to make Yu Ling overcome his inner fear?
She walked in with a tough bullet and first checked every room. Then she went upstairs and continued to check, but there was no clue. Twenty minutes later, she had to stand at the entrance of the basement.
After scolding Ji Dao in his heart again, Yu Ling carefully went downstairs. For some reason, as soon as she stepped on the stairs, she felt that the surroundings seemed to have cooled down suddenly. She retracted her feet, and the chill disappeared.
"Is it psychological?"
Yu Ling comforted herself, and at the same time she told herself in her heart that she was also a girl, and those who died unjustly should not come to find her. At this time, it is better to find the things left by the master and get rid of him as soon as possible!
With one go, Yu Ling looked at the rapidly changing environment around him and hurriedly went downstairs and stood on the bottom step.
There are torches here, and it seems that the master has been here...
"No, isn't this nonsense?! How can he put things if he doesn't come..."
Yu Ling's head suddenly started to "fight" with herself, but she quickly adjusted her mindset and began to observe here.
The more you observe, the strange and convenient it makes Yu Ling feel a chill. The basement should have been the dirtiest place, but it is a bit too clean!
Especially the bed in front of her, the sheets were as if they had just been washed, and there was no dust on them. It looked like someone was still asleep here.
The floor was also very clean, and Yuling couldn't see any spider webs. Everything was like there were people living here!
Combined with the "horrible legends" I had heard before, Yu Ling was indeed a little panicked. She was suddenly scared and dared not move. The dim fire and the flames were shaking violently, as if they were about to go out at any time.
Her heart was raised to her throat, completely forgetting the reality that she was a monk. Suddenly, something seemed to flash in front of Yu Ling's eyes. She stiffened all over, but she still turned quickly.
I saw a man in black robe appearing about five meters in front of her like a ghost. His back was facing Yu Ling, and a cold wind blew. Yu Ling was so scared that she screamed out, then turned around and ran away. But after that, she only realized that there was a man in black robe behind her.
Bang--
Yu Ling's eyes turned black and she was knocked out.
Two men in black robe gathered together and looked at the person in front of them.
"Isn't this the girl we are monitoring? Why did you come to us by yourself?"
"Since you were discovered by accident, plan ahead..."
