Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Thunder Suppression
It was obvious that the ice was not the normal ice formed by falling snowflakes. Lin Lang directly split the ice with two swords and rushed outside, but he didn't see anyone else.
Su Yun followed and walked to the ice layer. She observed the state of the ice layer, then looked up at Lin Lang: "Lin Lang, where did the ice come from?"
Lin Langluo returned to Su Yun's side: "It looks like it came out from under the mountain stream. Sure enough, the mountain stream that just split open is another way down."
The ice that suddenly appeared seemed to blend better with the surrounding environment. We can boldly guess that this was its original appearance. However, after Ziyuan and his companions went down, for some reason, the ice melted into water and disappeared. It could also be that they found something.
The ice layer reappeared, and it seemed that Master Ziyuan and the other three were not having a good time down there.
The ghost said worriedly, "Director, it looks like the situation down there isn't good. Should we go down and help the master and second master?"
Su Yun turned around and looked at them helplessly: "The three of you have Yin-type skills, only the two masters have Yang-type skills. If the opponent is too strong, you will only be doing more harm than good if you go down."
When the ghost bride heard this, she hugged the ghost's arm and said, "Yes, yes, Sister Yan, let's wait a little longer. What kind of monster can freeze the entire mountain stream? It's too powerful..."
Kung Fu methods emphasize the mutual restraint of the Five Elements. Some of the derivative systems of the Five Elements are very troublesome, such as the Ice System, Thunder System, and Space System. In fact, when practicing the Five Elements Taoism, they are rigidly summarized, and it depends on which zodiac sign you can integrate better with. The Five Elements are mutually generated and restrained, and there is no perfect restraint.
However, ghosts are born with their own attributes. It is equivalent to them coming with a debuff when they appear. It is good if it matches the venue, otherwise their performance will be easily restricted.
The temperature in the mountain stream is lower than that on the mountain. It is said that ghosts are born in cold and dark places, but if it is too cold, then ghosts don't want to stay there. The bottom of the mountain stream should be such a place, so Su Yun said that it would be difficult for them to get any help if they went down.
Lin Lang took over the conversation and said, "I have no attributes, so I will go down. I don't know why, but since the ice layer appeared just now, the breath of Master Ziyuan has been very weak. Director, do you want him alive or dead?"
Su Yun was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Lang to say something so extreme. "What? Is his death coming? I don't think so."
"Director, it doesn't mean that he will die if I go down, but I estimate that by the time we figure out everything, his deadline will be here." Lin Lang said firmly.
Fortune-telling is a very magical thing. Even if something has already happened and has a destiny, if you go back to calculate whether it is good or bad, the result will still be wrong. What are the five elements and eight trigrams calculating, good or bad fortune, about the event, or the human heart?
Plum Blossom Divination uses the rules of half a cycle to calculate the present, Liu Ren uses the directions of the five elements to determine the direction. Su Yun has learned a lot but only knows the simplified version, because the things calculated are not necessarily accurate. It is said that destiny cannot be violated, and destiny is only the result. How to choose the process is determined by the human heart.
Only human hearts can judge good and bad, the event itself does not have any symbolic meaning.
Su Yun calculated that Master Ziyuan would die based on reason, but what Lin Lang saw was Master Ziyuan's spirit, which meant that Master Ziyuan's breath, which had been hanging on for thousands of years, was about to dissipate here.
Life is such a strange thing. As long as there is breath, you can live. But if you lose your breath, no amount of blessings and fortune can save you from premature death.
Su Yun was actually filled with hatred when he found out that Master Ziyuan was responsible for his own death. He was so angry that he wanted to get up from the bed and kill Master Ziyuan right away.
But later, she gradually calmed down after learning more. As a human being, it is natural to take revenge and avenge grievances. After all, one's life is short, and who knows what one will be reborn as in the next life? Of course, one must take revenge and avenge grievances.
However, with a stolen second life, Su Yun inevitably thought of the cause and effect between her and Master Ziyuan.
She had such a life because of Mr. Ziyuan and died because of Mr. Ziyuan, and now Mr. Ziyuan has to repay her for this.
Su Yun showed a compassionate look and said, "No matter what, Lin Lang, just protect the two masters. It is not your responsibility to protect the others. You just need to treat them as air. However, if Master Ziyuan wants to do something bad, just fight him and deal with it with a normal mind."
Lin Lang was not a person who would easily waver. He would do whatever Su Yun asked him to do. After agreeing, he jumped down from the passage in the wooden house.
The sky and the earth were dark, and there were only four of them in front of the wooden house. Su Yun took out some incense, candles, and paper money from his Qiankun bag, ready to go and worship the ancestors and ask them to help him.
After lighting the incense, candles and paper money, the altar looked a bit better. Su Yun raised the incense and bowed, then respectfully inserted it: "Grandmaster, may this trip go smoothly. We are here to have fun and relax, so we must not be too tired, otherwise the incense of the Grandmaster will burn to our rivals."
After saying that, Yan Gui coughed lightly and said, "Director, this is a bit disrespectful to the ancestors..."
Su Yun put his hands in his pockets and said, "Who doesn't know who? In our business, we just follow our hearts. Anyway, I'm not happy that it turned out like this after a trip out. Grandmaster, why don't you protect me?"
Just as he finished speaking, the ice outside suddenly cracked with a click. Su Yun and his party looked back abruptly and saw that the ice had indeed cracked into a gap along the mountain stream.
The ghost raised his head to protect Su Yun: "No, the ancestor appeared?"
"I think a fight broke out." Su Yun said unhappily.
It is estimated that with the arrival of Lin Lang, the situation on the battlefield has changed.
In just two sentences, the noise was getting louder and louder. Su Yun had a feeling that something was wrong, so he quickly grabbed the ghost bride and the ghost and rushed out: "Run--"
As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden house collapsed with a loud bang. Even on the ice outside, there was no peace. Cracks kept appearing on the ice under his feet, and they were spreading up from the bottom of the mountain stream.
The beautiful ghost and Ah Xiu reacted. The beautiful ghost jumped into the air with Su Yun on her back. The ghost bride was still confused and was lifted up by Ah Xiu's collar. After the ghost bride came to her senses, he let her go and let her float on her own.
It didn't take long for the ice layer underneath to appear and break. After breaking, the ice dissipated little by little instead of melting into water. This shows that the ice itself was not made of natural snow, but was ice created by something using magic.
There was quite a bit of noise in the mountain stream, but maybe it was because the location was wrong or it was too deep, but I couldn’t see clearly where Lin Lang and the two masters were, and Master Ziyuan didn’t see them either.
Ah Xiu suddenly took out the soul-locking chain and said, "Director, there seems to be something related to the dead down there, and it carries a dead aura."
Su Yun leaned over the ghost's shoulder to look down: "Dead air? Pretty normal, right? This place is dead and gloomy, how can there be no dead air?"
"It's not normal death energy, it's the death energy of someone who refuses to die and is filled with resentment." Ah Xiu explained hurriedly. He rarely spoke so quickly.
After listening, Su Yun frowned. There are many kinds of death, and different deaths have different auras. Only ghost catchers and those working in the funeral industry have seen a lot of them to distinguish them. Ah Xiu has even retired, so his judgment is definitely better than that of Su Yun, a novice.
Su Yun was puzzled: "Is there also a tomb underneath? But this is a remote place, and even the hot springs have only appeared in recent years. There are no dragon veins or precious minerals. What's the point of burying people down there?"
To be honest, this mountain stream is not even a Feng Shui treasure land. People say that if you are buried in a Feng Shui treasure land after death, it will protect your descendants. Even if the ancestral tombs emit green smoke every day, which will make the descendants rich and powerful, it will at least bless them with good health, right?
But what about the Feng Shui of this place… The wind is cut off and the water is lacking, Feng Shui, Feng Shui, a place must have both wind and water to be a good place.
Such a shabby place has no popularity at all. No one wants to come here. It's deserted. Who on earth would want to put a tomb here?
It can't be that it was buried by humans in ancient times?
Su Yun even felt that it would be difficult to find any words on this kind of tomb.
Ah Xiu didn't understand and just kept shaking his head. He also told Yan Gui and the others to be alert and let Su Yun run first if necessary.
All the employees are here. Su Yun doesn't believe that anything can take her life, so she doesn't take it to heart.
As the ice disappeared, the movement below became louder and the deathly aura became more intense. Even Su Yun could feel it.
"Eh?" Su Yun was looking at the deathly air tumbling down the mountain stream and was suddenly stunned. Only the beautiful ghost heard her short breathing.
The ghost turned around and said, "Director, what did you find?"
Su Yun hesitated: "No... this is a bit..."
Something happened, and before Su Yun could figure it out, a string of icy spikes suddenly shot out from the bottom of the mountain stream and headed straight for Yan Gui. Yan Gui was always on guard, and rushed towards Ah Xiu with Su Yun on her back.
Ah Xiu charged head-on with the sexy ghost while holding the soul-locking chain. At the moment of collision, they moved away tacitly. The sexy ghost quickly fled forward, while Ah Xiu used the soul-locking chain to break the ice spikes that were chasing him.
I thought it was just an accident, but who would have thought that as soon as the ghost stopped, the broken ice spikes actually integrated themselves again, and more ice spikes extended from the bottom to chase the ghost. They seemed to have developed consciousness and were not only chasing it, but even wanted to surround it.
The ghost circled twice and discovered the intentions of these ice spikes. She shouted angrily: "A Xiu Xinxin, don't hit them randomly. They want to surround us. Smash them directly to the bottom of the mountain stream!"
Upon hearing this, Ah Xiu immediately turned the Soul-Locking Chain and threw it hard at the root of the ice spike in the mountain stream. That should not be the place where the ice spike emerged, but without the support from below, the ice spike could not form a cage in mid-air.
The ghost bride tried hard to keep up with Ah Xiu's pace. She had been a ghost for a short time and died in winter. Not only was she yin, she was even water-related. She could only withstand ice, and any spell she cast seemed useless.
Su Yun saw that the situation was not right, so she pushed the ghost away and floated up from behind her.
The ghost was startled. She turned back suddenly, remembering that she let go carelessly in the earth veins, and then Su Yun disappeared: "Director——"
"Stop shouting, you haven't been caught," Su Yun said unhappily, "This icicle probably only wants to come after me."
As they were talking, the ice spikes had already formed themselves into circles and intertwined themselves, as if they were forming a cage. Ah Xiu and the other three tried their best to break the ice, but there were still more and more ice spikes below, and they seemed determined to trap Su Yun to death.
Su Yun floated in the half-finished ice cage, holding a folding fan, and let out a long sigh: "Don't be nervous, this scene is a little familiar."
The last person who was trapped by the five elements was Lai Shu.
And it was very tricky to only chase Su Yun. Su Yun always felt that this place looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where it was. It was not until Bing Ling appeared that she vaguely remembered what Lai Shu said, that she was also in a place like this.
There is an inconspicuous wooden house on the mountainside, and underneath it is buried a spleen whose fortune is constantly being sucked away by a formation.
When the spleen tried to leave, the wood formation chased and attacked it without stopping for a moment.
The ice spikes that keep emerging from the mountain stream are so similar to the scene described by Lai Shu. The single attribute keeps chasing because as long as it can be restrained, the thing will not run out.
Although Su Yun still couldn't figure out all the tricks, if she didn't break the formation at this moment, she would get hurt here, which was not worth it.
The things that ice is most countered by are lightning and water, unless the lightning is refined to become fire, and the water is refined to high temperature, but except for some weirdos, no one would practice this way.
Therefore, the things used to guard the ice must be of the water element, and the kidney is the water element among the five internal organs.
The kidney belongs to water, nourishes yin and generates life, and is the source of gentle life. Freezing is indeed a very good method, better than the normal method of earth overcoming water. No matter how solid the earth is, water will eventually wear away the stone. But if it is ice, it will be difficult for water to resist based on its origin.
Su Yun wanted to use the black and white dragons to break through the cage, but he was stunned the moment he raised his hand.
The three employees of Yan Gui were so tired that their hands were numb from chopping. They found Su Yun standing there in a daze. Yan Gui asked hurriedly, "Director, what's wrong with you? Has your soul been hooked? You've been in a daze for a long time."
"No, I was wondering, why are you chasing me? Is there something on me?" Su Yun touched himself curiously, and didn't feel that there was anything extra or missing on his body.
If her guess was correct, this Bing should only be chasing her kidney. Why on earth was he suddenly chasing her? Moreover, he was chasing her out to catch her when Ziyuan Jushi, Lin Lang, and the two masters were all down there. It was too strange.
Before, after Lai Shu got close to her, the formation clearly didn't dare to chase her.
Could it be that the funeral home formation was very effective before, but now that she is not at home, there is no protection?
That’s not right. When Lai Shu was hiding, she also went out alone and was still fine.
Unless... the kidney is in her body.
The ice spikes were not surrounding her, but her kidneys.
At this time, Su Yun finally reacted to all the auditory hallucinations that he had experienced after arriving at the hot spring restaurant. They were not hallucinations, but real!
Lai Shu can develop consciousness and her back is almost the same as that of a human being, so her kidneys can be the same!
Su Yun touched his kidney with his backhand: "No way? Are you really on me?"
The kidneys did not respond, and the sound did not appear.
For a moment, Su Yun could not judge which of her guesses was correct. She just felt that if the kidneys really developed intelligence in the battle of wits with the ice formation, and the kidneys were of the water element, they could really return to Su Yun's body quietly.
That was a return. Su Yun would not notice anything unusual. It was originally his own thing. Could a person have any sense of his own high or low blood sugar? It was not that it suddenly soared to an uncontrollable value.
It happened silently, so no one noticed that Su Yun was a little more complete than usual.
Besides, Su Yun didn't think that the kidney had really escaped. It should have just come out of consciousness and then hid in Su Yun's new kidney. He thought that he could return to normal without anyone noticing. He didn't expect so many accidents to happen along the way.
Su Yun felt that this was probably the cause and effect, but the kidney still did not respond. She did not foolishly touch the kidney, but took out a breath isolation talisman from her Qiankun bag. This thing had many uses, such as hiding from ghosts, monsters, ghost messengers, heavenly soldiers and weapons, and it could also be used to hide from enemies when necessary.
He didn't think of it just now, but now that he remembered that Bing Leng might be chasing the kidney, Su Yun wanted to give it a try.
But he didn't know what was wrong. Although the aura had been hidden, the ice spikes did not retreat. Instead, they continued to weave an ice cage, still trying to put Su Yun back.
Ah Xiu and Yan Gui were always paying attention to Su Yun's situation. They were the first to sense that Su Yun's breath had disappeared. They looked up and saw Su Yun holding the yellow talisman, then they felt relieved.
"Director, is it useless to isolate the aura?" the sexy ghost asked loudly.
Su Yun nodded solemnly. She felt that her reasoning was correct, but why didn't the ice spikes retreat?
In a flash, Su Yun suddenly remembered what Lin Lang said at the beginning, that there was a piece of ice at the bottom of the mountain that had developed intelligence - this thing regarded Su Yun as the thing it was guarding!
If it was as unconscious as the previous wood formation, then it shouldn't have chased Su Yun. It was born with intelligence and was chasing people randomly! Maybe it didn't know where the kidney was, but it chased out and found Su Yun, so it thought it was Su Yun.
Su Yun was so angry that he laughed: "What a crap, why don't you just grow up to eight years old? Even Border Collies are smarter than you!"
Su Yun was so angry that he raised his folding fan and prepared to use all his strength to break the ice cage. However, at the moment he made his move, snow began to fall rapidly from the sky, dark clouds rolled, thunder rumbled, and it was like a bolt from the blue. It was obviously impossible for winter snow to be mixed with dry thunder.
There were flashes of lightning, but nothing struck. It was just thunder, and it seemed very strange, as if the end of the world had come.
Dark clouds covered the city, and there was even a smell in the air that only belonged to thunder and lightning. The already difficult to see scene became completely dark, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
No one could ignore such environmental changes. The Yan Gui and the Ghost Bride were ghosts, and they were most afraid of thunder and lightning. They subconsciously hid behind Ah Xiu, who quickly shouted to Su Yun, "Director, calm down! This place is not right, the restrictions seem to be greater than other places!"
Su Yun held a folding fan in the middle of his clenched fist, with soft light flowing on it, making the white jade bone even smoother and brighter, but he could not throw a punch no matter what.
After a long confrontation, Su Yun slowly loosened his grip, let his hands hang naturally, and waited for the thunder to pass.
The thunder sounded three more times, and as if it couldn't find its target, it slowly dispersed. Without the oppressive dark clouds, everything turned back to an ordinary winter morning, cold and dark, but still within normal tolerable range.
Su Yun sighed deeply and touched his dragon jade pendant: "Please, break the ice ridge and wait for Lin Lang to come back."
The next moment, a black and white light flashed in the ice cage, and the ice cage exploded directly and turned into nothingness without even a sound. Su Yun sat astride the white dragon, floating in the air, and the black dragon joined the battle of chopping the ice edges.
The black dragon became impatient with the fight and split a few ice spikes before rushing directly down into the mountain stream. It disappeared in a short while, but the number of ice spikes above it did not decrease much, which was also strange.
