Chapter 183 Many Vengeful Ghosts in the Mass Graveyard

"A ghost wall? Does Uncle mean we've encountered a ghost wall?"

Ning Bao was a little puzzled; he had never actually encountered a ghost wall before.

"Aren't ghosts only able to pass through walls? How can he also punch through walls?"

Although I'm good at catching ghosts, I don't really know how ghosts actually live.

Grandpa Zhou is in seclusion, resting his soul. Perhaps we could call him out and ask him something?

Shen Junshan paused for a moment. Why would he ask a three-year-old about being trapped in a maze?

Although Ningbao is very good at catching ghosts, he is only three years old and his knowledge and experience are not as extensive as that of adults.

Ningbao usually acts like a little adult, whether she speaks or does things, so Shen Junshan sometimes completely ignores her age.

“Ningbao, I’ve never actually experienced being trapped in a ghost wall. I’ve heard from the old folks in the village that being trapped in a ghost wall usually happens when you’re walking at night and you can’t tell which way to go. You feel disoriented and don’t know where to go. You just keep going around in circles.”

When people encounter this situation, they usually suspect that ghosts are at work.

Ning Bao was stunned for a moment.

"But I didn't see any ghosts. Could it be that my abilities have malfunctioned?"

Lingling, who had been standing silently to the side, gathered her spiritual energy and carefully surveyed her surroundings before looking at Ningbao.

“Master, it’s not that your abilities have failed you, but that the ghost is truly not here.”

However, there are signs of ghostly activity here, and the fog seems to have a slight hallucinogenic effect.

Only Ning Bao and Shen Junshan were present, so Lingling didn't hide the fact that she could speak.

Ningbao frowned slightly, confused. Was it poisonous?

Ning Bao had a sudden inspiration. She took out a small porcelain bottle from her handbag, poured out three pills, ate one herself, and then handed the other two to Shen Junshan and Lingling.

"This is a panacea pill that my senior brother gave me. Let's each take one and try it. Whether it works or not, it won't do any harm. Even if it doesn't work, we'll just eat it like a candy pill."

Shen Junshan took the pill from Ning Bao's hand and ate it without hesitation. Lingling also obediently opened her mouth and swallowed the pill that Ning Bao put into her mouth.

Not long after taking the pill, Ningbao felt a brightening before her eyes, as if the fog had dissipated considerably.

She took out her small compass and tentatively walked forward, this time not going around in circles like before.

As they walked, the fog began to lighten. The two people and the cat continued on their way. Before they could even feel happy about leaving the woods, they came across a chaotic graveyard.

Next to the cemetery was a large pit, in which skeletons were piled up haphazardly.

At this moment, Ning Bao clearly sensed the ghosts wandering everywhere. She frowned and quickly took out two talismans from her bag, stuffing one into her pocket and handing the other to Shen Junshan.

"Uncle, the yin energy around here is too heavy, it's not good for your health."

This talisman can ward off evil spirits; keep it close to your body.

Shen Junshan took the talisman without hesitation and put it close to his body.

Ning Bao squatted beside the large pit filled with corpses, his face solemn.

"How strange, how come there are so many skeletons here?"

They all seem to have a story to tell.

Ning Bao originally wanted to capture a few ghosts to interrogate them, but she was surprised to find that these ghosts had no memory.

Looking at the grave mounds and the skeletons in the pit beside him, Shen Junshan's expression also turned solemn.

“Ningbao, these remains must be unusual. I suspect this might be a mass grave.”

"A mass grave?" Ning Bao looked at Shen Junshan in confusion.

"Uncle, what is a mass burial ground?"

Is this what they call a mass burial ground—just throwing people in here haphazardly?

Actually, what they're doing is very bad for the deceased. It's not only disrespectful but also affects their reincarnation. As the saying goes, "to be buried is to find peace." How can they find peace if they aren't allowed to be buried?

Shen Junshan's expression was very somber. No matter the reason, so many people should not have died.

"Can Ning Bao figure out how these people died? Or how to talk to these ghosts?"

Ning Bao shook her head.

"I just tried it, and all of these ghosts have lost their memories. Because they stayed in the mortal world for too long and their remains were not buried, many of their souls have scattered."

Some have already turned to ashes, and even those that haven't turned to ashes have incomplete souls. So I can only send them to the realm of animals to be reincarnated. People with incomplete souls cannot be reborn as humans.

Alas! They are all wronged souls! It's a pity we can't find the source.

“Master, look over there…” Suddenly, Lingling raised her right hand and pointed to the graveyard not far away.
