Chapter 107 'Secrets must not be leaked' (5 updates, please subscribe) (revised)
Yinyi River at night.
The water vapor is rich.
There was no reflection on the turbulent river surface, which was dark and gloomy.
Except for the sound of the waves hitting the shore, the surroundings were empty and silent.
Because Jin'an's soul left the body, he is now a ray of soul, so the ghosts here have no effect on him.
Jin'an's soul drifted further and further inside.
What he saw along the way made his face darken.
All the government officials and team leaders here were trapped in the trap of beating the wall and kept spinning in circles. No one was spared, and they were collectively beating the wall.
But those government officials and squad leaders seemed to be unaware that they were trapped in the illusion of ghosts beating the wall. Their expressions were as usual, and they thought they were continuing to patrol and stand guard.
From time to time, I would stop to chat with my colleagues and take advantage of my free time to be lazy.
But there was obviously no one around him.
He is the only one.
Jin'an wandered all the way to the Qingshui Gang's main helm, where the ruins scene during the day was still maintained, with broken walls, collapsed ruins, large holes drilled in the bottom of the ship, and most of it sunk to the bottom of the river, but all the corpses had been cleaned up.
Jin An floated around cautiously.
No unusual findings were found.
I didn’t find anyone acting suspiciously, such as someone who was stabbed with paper and then came back again...
"Strange."
"Since it's not like people just go away and come back, then who is it that puts a wall on these government officials?"
Just as Jin An continued to search for clues, suddenly!
On the quiet riverside where no one was staying at night, a suona sound sounded, whimpering, sharp and harsh, and it was actually approaching here.
As the saying goes, "Thousand-year-old pipa, ten-thousand-year-old harp, only the suona will last a lifetime. The first time I hear the suona, I don't know the sound, and the next time I hear it, I am already a person in the underworld. Meng Po forgets this life in one soup, and the remaining soul is ferried on the bridge"!
Hearing suona in the middle of the night is especially scary.
What's more, Jin An, who was still a ghost, was so shocked that his scalp was numb.
If I had a scalp... Jin An looked at the dark night in the distance in surprise. Who was playing the suona to awaken the soul in the middle of the night?
The sound of the suona was getting closer and closer, and Jin An finally saw clearly who was coming. It was a funeral procession dressed in sackcloth and white, blowing the suona and scattering valuables as they walked in the cold wind.
At the front of the funeral procession, there is a pair of people, one tall and one short, one thin and one fat, wearing official robes, but these are not the official robes of the Kangding Kingdom. The official robes are black, and black is evil, which can suppress evil spirits.
Like the official robes of the underworld? The two of them were still holding chains in their hands, followed by a group of people.
But those people's costumes were a bit scary.
There are merchants doing business, there are country squires wearing military uniforms, there are rivers and lakes with half of their necks almost cut off, there are walking monks who are carrying baskets but fell off a cliff and lost their faces, there are also people who have a big hole in their stomachs due to the horns of a bull.
The cowherd whose intestines had fallen out was still holding the reins in his hand, driving a buffalo...
There were ten or twenty people of all kinds.
Everyone's face is gray, lifeless, and their eyes are dull. These are all the lonely souls after death.
Official robe?
Seductive?
The underworld?
Jin An was stunned by the scene in front of him. Are those detained ghosts all dead in Chang County or wandering around Chang County?
He didn't understand what was happening in front of him for a while.
This funeral procession dressed in sackcloth and white, blowing the suona, scattering paper money, came to the front of the Qingshui Gang's helm in a gust of cold wind.
But this funeral procession did not stop and continued to move forward.
Wow——
Crash--
It was as dark as an abyss, and there was no reflection of moonlight on the black river. The sound of the river water hitting the shore was heard quickly, one after another, and with the suonas soothing the soul, I saw people walking out from under the river with gray faces and dull eyes without focus.
People with livid skin.
These people were all wearing the green robes of the Qingshui Gang. They walked ashore, and then automatically joined the Suona funeral procession with dull eyes.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The chains locked them and passed through their bodies, but their faces were numb and they felt no pain.
These people are naturally the souls of the Qingshui Gang after death!
In addition to the dead souls who walked ashore from the river, gray-faced dead souls also walked out of the ruins of seven or eight Sanya boats and automatically joined the mysterious Suona funeral procession.
The team that originally consisted of only ten or twenty people suddenly expanded to hundreds of people.
Jin An hid aside and watched the scene in front of him in surprise.
This funeral procession continued to walk forward, scattering paper money along the way to clear the way for the dead, walking straight through rocks and trees, ignoring any obstacles.
Just as they were passing a place twenty feet away from Jin'an, the two people, one tall, one short, one fat and one thin, walking at the front, holding the iron chains, suddenly turned their heads and looked towards the place where Jin'an was hiding.
"I wonder which immortal's soul has left his body here?"
"Why don't you let me and the two of you pay homage to the immortal spirit?"
Claiming to be sinister?
Sure enough, is there an underworld in this world?
Seeing that his whereabouts could no longer be hidden, Jin An floated out of the temporary hut built by the government servants where he was hiding.
"The soul is stable and is not afraid of the invasion of heaven, earth, wind, fire, water and light. It turns out that he is an immortal. Isn't the immortal a local? I have seen various local Taoist temples in Chang County and are familiar with them, but I have never seen them before.
Immortal?"
Jin'an didn't know what etiquette was needed in this world when meeting the evil spirits of the underworld? Or what kind of Taoist mudra needed to be made to show one's identity? So, he could only bite the bullet and learn the tricks of the secular world.
The bit is too bad to be handed over.
He also imitated the literate way of speaking of the ancients and said: "I have met two Yin Chai masters. I learned the Taoism of the five internal organs, and I am indeed not a native of Chang County."
"This time I happened to be traveling through Chang County and heard that there was a temple fair at Wenwu Temple in Chang County, so I stayed there for a few days and planned to experience the grand temple fair in Chang County."
"I didn't mean to avoid the two Yin Chai just now, I was just afraid of disturbing the two Yin Chai's work."
"It turns out that they are the immortals passing through Chang County. The immortals are very polite. My two brothers are just ordinary soul seducers. They are preparing to send these ghosts to reincarnation, lest there are too many wandering ghosts and disturb the world of the world.
Order." The pair, one tall, one short, one fat and one thin, returned a salute to Jin An.
When Jin An heard this, his heart moved: "Oh, I wonder where the two soul seducers were sent to be reincarnated?"
Jin An is very curious about the system of ghosts and gods in this world.
The two seducers were very polite to Jin An, and when they were about to reply, suddenly, boom!
A spring thunder exploded in the sky.
The weather that was originally sunny suddenly became shrouded in dark clouds.
The dead souls, who were strung together by the chains of seduction, were already pale and turned even grayer. Seeing that their soul energy was weak, they were about to lose their souls.
Thunder is the highest yang in heaven and earth, and these ghosts are so heavy with yin energy that they cannot stand the thunder.
Seeing this, the two seducers quickly stopped what they were about to say, and then hurriedly said goodbye to Jin'an.
And as the suona funeral procession disappeared, the ghost wall that trapped the government officials also disappeared and recovered again.
Jin An was thoughtful.
His spirit drifted by the river for a while, and then he drifted back to the city.
