Well of Mystery

After three hours like this, the journey was finally over halfway.The golden sunshine in the afternoon warmed the carriage, and even Bai Xiuqi felt drowsy.

But he didn't dare to sleep, for fear that his tiredness would infect Jiang Chenglu, and if the driver dozed off, it would be a big trouble if something happened.

So he tried his best to widen his eyes, staring at the street signs ahead, forcing himself to see clearly the advertisements on the distant anti-aircraft guns.

It's a pity that even so, tiredness still swept in like a tide.

Just when Bai Xiuqi was seriously considering whether to propose to stop at the next rest stop to wash his face, he heard Jiang Chenglu chuckle.

"Did you know? Fish don't have eyelids. They can't blink, so they keep their eyes open even when they sleep. Have you ever seen a fish sleep?"

What else could it be like?Same as when awake.

Bai Xiuqi secretly slandered, and then replied: "I've never seen one sleeping, but I've seen a lot of dead ones, dead fish eyes."

"Then I'll let you see it today." Jiang Chenglu chuckled and started counting down: "Wait, I'll count down ten, nine, eight..."

Bai Xiuqi thought he was going to do some tricks, and really waited with bated breath.Suddenly, I saw a dark tunnel mouth appearing in front of me, and the vehicle was swallowed into the mouth at the same time as the countdown ended.

"..."

Just as Bai Xiuqi was about to ask Jiangcheng Lu what this meant, he saw Jiangcheng Lu turn on the roof lights, and his own face was reflected on the front windshield—pale and sleepy, but his eyes were still widened reluctantly , staring blankly ahead.

"Did you see it?" Jiang Chenglu's voice came from next to his ear: "Go and rest when you're tired, I'm fine."

This guy is quite considerate.

Bai Xiuqi really wanted to sigh, when he heard Jiang Chenglu add another sentence.

"Don't underestimate my brother, but he is the one who drove a hearse in the middle of the night. Six hours, and none of the passengers in the car can speak. Didn't my brother drive to the destination smoothly?"

Hearse, six hours?Where are you from, and where are you going?

Bai Xiuqi couldn't help but slandered again, and then asked him to tell the story of the hearse.

"Success." Jiang Chenglu nodded, and reached out to turn off the overhead light.

The moment the lights went out, Bai Xiuqi's face disappeared from the front windshield, replaced by the face of a strange man, with bloodshot eyes widened and a distorted expression.

"!!"

That face was only a few tens of centimeters away from Bai Xiuqi, so frightened that he almost stood up from the passenger seat.

"Oh, be careful, be careful!" Jiang Chenglu reached out and pressed his shoulder.

"Did you see it?!" Bai Xiuqi asked him, "There was a face on the windshield just now!"

Before Jiang Chenglu could answer, he heard Li Kun in the back row also wailing.Bai Xiuqi turned around in horror, and found that the rear windows had been frosted by the cold at some point.

On the snow-white ice crystals, human palm prints are forming, as if someone is banging on the car window to get in.

"...Jiang Chenglu!!"

Bai Xiuqi was also so frightened that she didn't know what to do, and the only thing she could do seemed to be to turn her head and ask for help.

Jiang Chenglu seemed very calm, saying "Ok, ok" while increasing the accelerator, and the car drove out of the tunnel after a few dozen seconds.

The moment the light reappeared, Bai Xiuqi found that the frost, snow and fingerprints on the rear window had all disappeared without a trace.Everything seemed as if nothing had happened.

"Don't be nervous, that was a normal phenomenon just now." Jiang Chenglu calmed the two of them: "If you walk a lot at night, you will always encounter ghosts. The same is true for ghost stories. I just told so many ghost stories. You can’t justify it if you don’t meet one or two ghosts, right?”

"Ghosts believe!"

"Haha. I won't tease you."

Seeing that Bai Xiuqi had returned to a normal state, Jiang Chenglu smiled, and finally got to the point.

The tunnel that just passed has not seen the sun all year round, and there has been a partial water seepage problem inside due to disrepair for a long time, and Yin Qi has accumulated.After some light-weight people die in the tunnel, their souls will be trapped in the tunnel and cannot be reborn, so they keep wandering in the tunnel, in a confused state of "ghosts hitting the wall".

It sounds really pitiful.

Bai Xiuqi couldn't help imagining the panic and helplessness of those people, and asked Jiangcheng Road if he could help them.

"I can help, but this kind of earth-bound spirits have existed since ancient times, and there are quite a few of them. They can't be rescued by a moment of soft-heartedness. You see, the king of Tibetans said, 'Hell is not empty, and you can't become a Buddha. ’, so until now he is just a bodhisattva.”

Speaking of this, in order to avoid dampening Bai Xiuqi's enthusiasm, Jiang Chenglu still gave him a barely acceptable consolation: "These earth-bound spirits are like ants locked in a maze, although most of the time they are misunderstood. Hit by mistake, but the chance of successfully hitting is not small. Especially when they successfully scare mortals like you and Li Kun, they will absorb a little bit of your yang energy. Although you will not feel it obviously , but accumulating more, it is still very good for them.”

"That is to say, the earth-bound spirit scares people to absorb the yang energy of human beings?" Bai Xiuqi pondered: "Then again, this earth-bound spirit is so fierce, wouldn't the drivers passing through the tunnel be afraid? Why did I Have you never heard of ghosts here?"

"That's because not everyone can see it."

Jiang Chenglu freed up a hand to compare his eyes: "People who are born with the ability to see ghosts account for one in a million of the total population of the society. There are 142 people with a population of one million in the whole country." Six of them have a population of tens of millions, but there are still only a handful of psychics in them."

Hearing what he said, Bai Xiuqi basically guessed that neither he nor Li Kun were natural psychics, and there were other reasons for hitting ghosts.

Sure enough, he heard Jiangcheng Lu continue to speak——

"Bumping ghosts, bumping ghosts, the word bumping is actually very interesting. Think about it, if there is one thing you can see every day, can you still use bumping to describe it? Students who go to school every day will say that they are in the classroom. Did you bump into a teacher? So, this ghost bumping is aimed at those who have never seen a ghost in their entire life, and suddenly for some reason see something they shouldn’t see—this is called ghost bumping.”

Speaking of this, Jiangcheng Road paused for a moment, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Bai Xiuqi: "Water."

Bai Xiuqi gave him a blank look, grabbed the mineral water bottle, unscrewed the cap, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Don't be too tight-lipped, hurry up and say it!"

Jiang Chenglu was drinking water and wanted to laugh, but he sprayed it all on the steering wheel before he could catch his breath.I had no choice but to pull over and park on the hard shoulder of the parking belt, and Bai Xiuqi and Bai Xiuqi grabbed paper towels and wiped them vigorously.

It's just that Jiang Chenglu wiped the steering wheel and dashboard, while Bai Xiuqi wiped the newly bought T-shirt on Jiang Chenglu's body.

"Blind my dog's eyes..." Li Kun, who had been forgotten for a long time in the back row, covered his eyes silently.

The water stains were quickly wiped dry, and under Bai Xiuqi's urging, Jiang Chenglu finally found the topic just now.

"There are many ways to hit ghosts, so I won't go into details here. What I want to say is that the apartment was hit last night, and a lot of things were released. You have a lot of yin on your body, and your physique has been temporarily changed. .Of course, seeing ghosts is only an extreme phenomenon. More commonly, there may be minor illnesses such as colds and fevers."

Not only that, a series of strange things are likely to happen in the vicinity of Xuanjing Apartment recently, because there may be wandering ghosts attracted by the breath of their companions.However, this effect will be completely eliminated after seven to seven days, so don't worry too much.

"How could you not be worried..." Bai Xiuqi frowned and muttered, "What if I bump into you?"

Jiang Chenglu smiled and promised him: "Don't worry, don't you still have me here? Have you forgotten what I said in front of your grandfather's grave?"

"I said, it's getting late. If you have anything to say, save it when you go home and talk about it yourself. Can you drive faster?!" Li Kun couldn't help but wailed again, but unfortunately, he didn't get sympathy from the person involved.

"You are in a hurry, you drive!" Bai Xiuqi turned her head and bared her teeth at him.

--------------------------------

This tossing, at any rate, drove away everyone's sleepiness.They replenished some water and food at the next rest stop, nibbled on dry food and started on the road again, and finally drove into the main gate of the Wetland Park when the sun was setting.

Due to the complex terrain in the park, Li Kun took over the steering wheel again and chose a small road.

Looking out through the car window, there is a lush metasequoia forest less than one meter away, with large february orchids and clover growing under the trees.

Farther away, more unnamed trees and shrubs are layered on top of each other, hiding each other.I am afraid that even at noon, the light at the bottom of the forest will be very dim.

Bai Xiuqi was about to breathe some fresh air, but when he opened the car window, he realized that there was a thin layer of mist in the woods, and it tended to spread towards this side.

"Dark and humid, the conditions here are very suitable for the growth of Yin Qi." He analyzed it now: "Speaking of which, many hares, squirrels and other animals should have died in this forest, so will there be some animals in the world? Animal ghosts?"

"Yes, but also no."

Jiang Chenglu's answer was very mysterious: "The so-called Six Realms of Reincarnation, since humans and animals can be reincarnated, logically speaking, animals also have souls. But humans have three souls and seven souls, while animals often don't have so many. Smaller ones can have two souls and one soul, and low-level ones, such as watermelon bugs, generally have only one soul. Their ghost power is relatively weak, and it is even less likely to be noticed by people."

"It doesn't make sense." Li Kun interjected from the driver's seat: "The number of souls doesn't match, can they be reincarnated?"

"That's the problem." Jiang Chenglu nodded: "So, the reincarnation between humans and animals is not one-to-one correspondence. A person can be reincarnated into multiple animals at the same time. And only when the lifespan of these animals All ends, and all souls gather again to be reincarnated as human beings."

"What about plants?" Bai Xiuqi asked again: "Also, are things like giant clams considered animals?"

"First of all, giant clams are not animals in the traditional sense. Spiritual beasts like him also have three souls and six souls. Then there is the question about plants. First of all, it is certain that plants do not have souls, but this does not prevent them from cultivating and ascending. .Of course, this is much more difficult for them than humans or animals..."

Having said that, Jiang Chenglu did not continue.

"That's a long story. In short, the fact that there is no soul makes the plant spirits more cautious in their actions, because as long as they make a small mistake, they will end up in dust..."

Before the word "Mie" was uttered, a sharp sound of brakes was heard, and the commercial vehicle stopped suddenly.

"I wipe!" Li Kun cursed angrily.

Just in front of the car less than two meters in front of him, a person suddenly appeared on the dark driveway.
