“It should be here.”
Gu Lingze and Zen Master Minghai walked towards the direction of the cave. The surrounding grass and trees scraped against their clothes, making a rustling sound.
Just as they were about to reach the cave, Gu Lingze's expression suddenly became stern. He tilted his head slightly to look at Zen Master Minghai, who also frowned slightly, realizing something was wrong.
They were clearly walking side by side, but the sound of "tap tap" footsteps came from behind them.
When they stopped, the footsteps behind them also stopped. When they took a step, a distinct "tapping" sound was heard behind them.
Gu Lingze tried twice and realized the problem——
They ran into a 'ghost heel'!
If a person dies a tragic death, and loses his life in such an unclear manner, he will die with his eyes open, his legs unable to close, and he will turn into a shadowy ghost.
The shadow ghost specifically follows people walking at night. It follows you with a step, and stops when you stop.
Whatever movement you make, it will follow behind you, just like a shadow sticking to you, until it attaches itself to your soul and slowly takes your place.
In this way, the shadow ghost can enter reincarnation, and you will become the next shadow ghost.
Just as Gu Lingze took out the talisman paper, he was stopped by Zen Master Minghai.
He looked at the other party with a puzzled expression, only to see Zen Master Minghai holding the Zen stick in his hand, hanging the Buddhist beads on his thumb, and clasping his hands together.
"Om Ah Hum Benza Guru Pema Siddhi Hum." Zen Master Minghai repeatedly chanted Guru Padmasambhava's mantra to transform all greed, anger, thoughts and ignorance.
Gu Lingze couldn't help but sigh that the other party wanted to teach the Buddha nature to all things in the world. Now that the ghosts were about to die, Zen Master Minghai was thinking about saving the other party first.
Gu Lingze channeled his spiritual energy into his eyes, and saw that as Zen Master Minghai chanted, golden rays of light flew behind them, and the cold feeling on their backs became much lighter.
Gu Lingze raised his eyebrows. Since the capable ones were willing to do the work, he naturally didn't want to "start work".
"Donor Gu, let's go."
After Zen Master Minghai finished the ritual of salvation, the two continued walking towards the cave.
After entering the cave, Gu Lingze blew up the fire stick and looked around.
There were many footprints on the ground, which looked disorganized and there was no trace to be found.
He and Zen Master Minghai were just about to go deeper when the soil beneath their feet suddenly moved. The hard ground seemed to instantly turn into brown quicksand, trapping them directly in it.
Gu Lingze fell into a dark cave. Fortunately, he adjusted his posture in mid-air, otherwise, if he fell from such a height, he would have been half-crippled if not dead.
Gu Lingze stood up, holding his waist. Everything in front of his eyes was dark, but the touch of his hands when he landed told him that this should be a humid place.
"Master Minghai?" Gu Lingze called out symbolically, but got no response. After all, in such a quiet space, if there was another person, his breathing would surely be heard by him.
I wonder if Master Minghai was hurt at such an old age, Gu Lingze thought as he took out a Flame Talisman from the secret realm.
I didn't know where the fire starter flew to when I was falling, so I needed something to light up.
Gu Lingze pinched the talisman paper between two fingers and shook it casually, but the talisman paper did not burn.
Gu Lingze said "Hmm?" and did it again, but it was still the same.
A rare flash of panic crossed his eyes, and he immediately sat cross-legged on the spot, only to find that he couldn't even look inward. The spiritual energy in his body had completely disappeared!
This discovery made his heart skip a beat. Could there be a spirit-forbidden formation here?
Gu Lingze calmed himself, groped his way to the side, and after walking carefully for about twenty steps, his hand finally touched the mountain wall.
The mountain wall was also wet, as if some liquid was flowing down.
Suddenly a breeze blew over, and Gu Lingze was cheered up. Since there was wind, there must be an exit in the direction of the wind.
Gu Lingze groped his way forward in the direction of the wind. He didn't know how long he had been walking when he suddenly heard low humming sounds in his ears.
This sound?
The more he listened, the more familiar it sounded. This was——
Li Jin's voice.
Gu Lingze walked faster towards the direction of the sound. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, but this light was not the sunlight he usually saw, but red, a dark red as thick as blood.
The humidity in the air was getting thicker and thicker. He looked around and found that this was an open-air valley.
Gu Lingze looked up at the sky——
A blood-red moon was hanging quietly in the sky, and it was so close that he could even see the blood mist emanating from around the moon, so thick that it seemed like it was about to drip blood spots.
Gu Lingze withdrew his gaze, and was startled as soon as he lowered his head.
There was a person standing in front of him, with his back to him, not saying a word, standing there like a piece of wood.
Suddenly, the man lowered his head, revealing his neck, his hair spread out on both sides, and a faint golden light flashed.
"The Queen?"
Before Gu Lingze could think about it, the man's head suddenly turned around, revealing an extremely distorted face of an ancient corpse!
His face was covered with dense wrinkles, dark eye sockets, uneven teeth, and his hair suddenly became dry, yellow and messy.
Gu Lingze took a few steps back, feeling chest tightness and shortness of breath, with a fishy smell coming from his nose.
Many images flashed through his mind in an instant, some of the present world, some of this world, Zhao Chengmo, Master, Jin Zilingzi, Dad, Mom...
He felt as if everyone's faces suddenly squeezed into his head. Gu Lingze covered his head and gasped in pain.
At this time, the 'Queen' standing in front of him stretched out a dry hand and slowly wrapped it around his neck.
Just as the hand was about to strangle his throat, another hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.
The 'Empress' was shocked and let out a series of guttural sounds. Gu Lingze opened his eyes, his gaze was clear, without a trace of madness at all.
"How dare you show off your skills in front of an expert?" Gu Lingze sneered and kicked the ancient corpse in front of him in the chest, knocking it over.
Taking advantage of the gap when the ancient corpse was crawling up, relying on the last bit of his strength, he leaped towards the mountain wall, leaped up, turned his hands into claws, and directly grabbed the red moon hanging in the air.
roar--
After a while of dizziness, the illusion faded away and Gu Lingze returned to the cave where he started.
He sat down on the ground, panting. If he had not practiced the meditation technique, which enabled him to achieve the state of emptiness and tranquility, and the state of embracing the origin and unity, he might have died here today.
Zen Master Minghai was lying on his back not far away. Gu Lingze went over to check the situation and found that he was trapped in an illusion.
He took out a talisman paper from his sleeve, thought about it, bit his fingertip to draw a realm-breaking talisman, and stuck it directly on the other person's forehead.
Not long after, Zen Master Minghai began to struggle, and in a flash, he turned over and stood up, with the Zen stick in his hand pointing directly at Gu Lingze's head.
