Infinite Disaster Survival
226. Chapter 226 The Ghost Realm Appears-6
The vehicle drove smoothly on the winding mountain road. Wen Zheng sat steadily in the car with several materials on his legs, and started making incense. After walking all the way, they arrived at the destination of their trip, Zhuxi Village, where he had lived with the old Taoist priest since childhood.
The morning mist shrouded the vast green mountains. The quaint houses formed a small village. The hardworking villagers were busy in front of their homes. When they heard the roar of the car approaching, they squinted their eyes until they could distinguish one of the people getting off the car.
"A Zheng, you are finally back! The Taoist priest said before he left that he would be buried at noon today at the latest. We are all worried that you will not be able to come back today." An old lady shouted, as if the whole village was excited by this voice, and more and more villagers rushed over to surround Wen Zheng.
It took Wen Zheng a while to deal with the excited villagers. He learned from the villagers that the old Taoist priest had anticipated his own death and Wen Zheng's late return in advance, so he specifically told the villagers that if Wen Zheng did not come back at noon on the seventh day, he would be buried.
In recent years, the country has vigorously promoted cremation. The old Taoist priest is highly respected in the local area, but he did not break this rule. He asked the village cadres to send him to be cremated on the day of his death. Now the urn is placed in the Taoist temple.
Thanks to the help of the villagers these days, Wen Zheng quickly returned to the Taoist temple in the mountains. He took a step inside and tears came out of his body involuntarily. Wen Zheng was able to confirm that the soul of the original body was not in the body he was using. This situation should be due to the emotions of the original body remaining in this body.
Although the original body and the old Taoist priest had no blood relationship, this relationship was moving. They were both master and apprentice and father and son.
Wen Zheng had a weak relationship with his parents, but he had a very deep relationship with his grandfather and Tuantuan. When he recalled that Grandpa Wen was seriously ill, he felt the same as the original body.
He took out the incense made on the road and lit it. Wen Zheng had a hunch on the road. When he inserted the incense into the incense burner, Wen Zheng also used the method of inviting gods. Green smoke slowly rose, and Wen Zheng bowed in respect.
This was also one of the old Taoist's requirements. He only needed to burn incense and worship, and the villagers would not accuse Wen Zheng of being too simple in etiquette.
The residents standing behind followed and bowed to bid farewell to the old Taoist priest.
Wen Zheng sensed different energy fluctuations, and when he raised his head, he saw two blurry figures on the urn.
Yes, two.
When Wen Zheng came to this world, the original body that was supposed to die followed the trajectory of fate and the soul left the body. But before the soul dissipated, the traction between him and the old Taoist priest made him float back to this village, and the father and son and the master and apprentice reunited.
The deep father-son friendship between the two touched Wen Zheng a little, so he simply helped again, separating a thin wisp from the golden light deep in the soul and giving it to the blurry soul in front of him.
The golden light flashed and merged into it, and the souls of the old Taoist priest and the original body gradually became clearer from blurry, and regained self-awareness. The old Taoist priest bowed to Wen Zheng, and the original body followed closely. After standing up, he couldn't help but secretly look at the stranger who used his body. It was the first time for Wen Zheng to communicate with the original body, and he smiled kindly.
"All my relics are placed in the Taoist temple. I'll leave this world to you, venerable." The old Taoist priest sighed after bowing, and floated away with his own children in the world.
Wen Zheng extended his spiritual power to explore the place where the two souls disappeared, but did not feel the Yin Qi. The road to the ghost realm was not opened, and the two souls disappeared but did not dissipate.
Looking at the father and son getting along, Wen Zheng missed Tuan Tuan who was thrown to some unknown place by the game system.
Wen Zheng stayed in Zhuxi Village to preside over the burial ceremony of the old Taoist priest's ashes, and found the relics left by the old Taoist priest in the Taoist temple, several ancient books of a long time, a box of strange instruments, and a bank card containing all his savings.
After taking the first two things, Wen Zheng took out some of the money in the bank card and asked the villagers to clean the Taoist temple every day. He also bought a piece of good wood and engraved the name of the old Taoist priest on it. The original body's name was the same as his own, so it was not easy to engrave it openly. Wen Zheng simply used his spiritual energy to engrave a shallow dark pattern on the inconspicuous position of the wooden board.
After resting in Zhuxi Village for a week, Wen Zheng left this outdoor paradise with the legacy left by the old Taoist priest.
With this Taoist temple here, the ghost domain will not overlap with this place until the last moment, and the villagers can still live a peaceful life.
The authenticity of ghosts and ghost domains has been verified, and the classics handed down from ancient times may be true, so some statements have a little more authenticity. The overlap of the ghost domain and the real world occurred in the early seventh month of the lunar calendar, and the frequency of strange things increased with time. By the 14th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, all those who knew the inside story became nervous.
In the past week, the country and Wen Zheng have not been idle.
The country invited masters from all over the country to gather and asked them to try to practice. At the same time, the power of science and technology also played a role. The ghost general that Wen Zheng had brought back from the ghost domain was fully utilized.
In addition, many scientists worked day and night to study, and the types of items that can act on ghosts and the instruments that can detect the concentration of Yin Qi have been roughly determined.
The scientists who were strongly asked to go back and have a good rest were full of regret when they left. There were still many inspirations that they had not tried in time. Unfortunately, even if they were extra careful and cherished, the only experimental subject only lasted until today. I hope that I can catch a few more experimental subjects next time, so that I don’t have to wait in line for experiments after the inspiration bursts out.
The test results obtained by scrapping a ghost general are quite useful.
In addition to the spells drawn by Wen Zheng, which are particularly effective against ghosts, the magic tools collected by Taoism, Buddhism and other schools also have the effect of attacking or protecting. There are also some special items, such as the banknotes used by Wen Zheng in an emergency, and the necklace that once protected a girl in the ghost domain. The pendant of the necklace is the bullet left by her father who died. Such items embody strong positive emotions of human beings.
After these items were verified to be effective, they were shipped to all parts of the country. At the same time, there were many express deliveries from Zhuxi Village. They were the spells drawn by Wen Zheng when he stayed in Zhuxi Village and some magic tools he tried to make.
The masters gathered by the country gradually sensed the existence of spiritual energy, tried to control the magic tools, and were sent back by the country with the express delivery. Since they had entered the door, they all relied on the special masters to learn by themselves, and they must have more experience than these outsiders.
July 14th, the legendary day when the ghost gate opened, all the people who knew the situation were on guard.
Multiple news channels have exposed the frequent disappearances in recent days, reminding residents to pay attention to protecting their own safety and try not to go out after dusk.
Police forces from all over the country have been activated, driving vehicles equipped with Yin Qi detectors on patrol for reasons such as investigating cases and arresting suspects.
The Yin Qi detector developed urgently still has many shortcomings and needs to be detected at a sufficiently close distance.
The red light flashed, and the patrolling police were on guard. They picked up the walkie-talkie in their hands to report the situation here to the command center. The next step is to find a more accurate location around.
But they didn't know that the command center of each city had been receiving frequent reporting communications since dusk. On the screen showing the entire city map, a red dot was marked on it every time a call was received. Now there are so many dense red dots that it makes people feel numb.
Is there a problem with the Yin Qi detector?
Everyone in the command center had the same idea, but the information that was transmitted immediately broke their fluke mentality. The areas marked with red dots showed signs of ghost domains, and the situation exceeded their worst expectations.
From dusk to the sunrise of the next day, in more than ten hours, countless passages with ghost domains appeared in different cities. Some passages were discovered before they were formed. Fully armed personnel were waiting nearby, and they would attack any ghosts coming out of them.
The police and soldiers sent by the government had been trained in advance, and the weapons they were equipped with had been tested by those researchers and could work on ghosts.
There were also people from Taoism, Buddhism and various niche sects who re-learned the treasured classics with a new perspective, and now they participated in the battle tonight with the handed-down instruments such as peach wood swords, whisks, Buddhist beads, and demon-subduing pestles.
They were all facing the legendary ghosts for the first time, and they were mentally prepared before setting off, but they found that they thought too simply as soon as they started fighting. There were too many ghosts pouring out of the ghost domain, and even the unconscious ghosts required them to spend a while.
This was destined to be a difficult battle.
The number of people and weapons is far from enough. There are many places and ghost areas. Ghost soldiers and ghost soldiers appear from them. Most of them are irrational. As soon as they come, they pounce on the nearby humans. A few ghost soldiers suppress their desires and drift away in a direction. Soon they disappear. I don’t know where they will hide and spy on humans.
After a long night, the morning light gradually rises in the sky, and the concentration of yin energy decreases. Together with the passages in the ghost area, they begin to close, and ghosts finally stop pouring out from them.
The exhausted fighters see the hope of the end, grit their teeth and hold on to the end, until the ghosts they surrounded are captured or eliminated, and then they collapse to the ground tired, waiting for the arrival of medical personnel.
The disaster has not yet ended. In places where they failed to block or send people last night, there have been incidents of evil ghosts injuring people. The number of casualties counted is increasing every hour.
The sounds of ambulances and police cars kept ringing on the road. Many places had tragedies last night. The faces of people whose souls were devoured by ghosts were somewhat horrible. When someone found them in the morning, they were severely frightened. The screams attracted more people to come. There would always be immoral people who saw those miserable scenes and couldn't help but take pictures and spread them.
Most ordinary people didn't know what happened. They were woken up by the sirens in the early morning and turned on their phones to see what happened. As a result, all the news was reporting tragedies that happened in various places. After a closer look, they all happened last night.
People woke up all of a sudden and knew that something big had happened.
Panic inevitably spread, and everything was uploaded on the Internet. In the end, there was no way out. The official media issued a notice asking everyone not to go out easily, and also taught some skills to prevent ghosts, such as sprinkling glutinous rice and placing peach wood.
The battle was only temporarily stopped. There was still a tough battle to be fought on the upcoming night of July 15. The combat power to deal with evil ghosts was damaged by nearly 70% last night, and they only had one day to recover.
