Chapter 177: Death and Ghost
“Fuck!”
Everyone screamed in surprise, and then, regardless of Jin Cai's wishes, Bai Chenxue threw it directly into the Hutian space. Zhen Junzi didn't know where he got the strength from, he picked up Bian Yuanzhi, who was only half a head shorter than him, and carried him on his shoulders, using all his strength to fly up, jumping and hopping, occasionally flapping his legs and running out.
Bian Yuanzhi was so shocked that he could hardly speak clearly: "Master, ah ah ah father - I ah ah ah, I can ah ah ah run by myself -"
As everyone was flying back and forth on the road, Shen Yun and Zhongzhou Koi spontaneously held their weapons tightly and fell to the back of the team, responsible for covering their retreat.
The group flew for several minutes in a hurry, and only stopped and took a breath when they saw that the wasteland was gradually covered by the surrounding woods.
Jia Xiaoren leaned against a thick tree, panting and asking, "What the hell, huhuhu...what the hell is going on?"
Zhen Junzi collapsed to the ground with a thud. He adjusted his posture at the moment of falling so that Bian Yuanzhi could fall on him steadily. He groaned after being hit, and after a few seconds of rest, he also asked in confusion: "Yes! Why did we quarrel just now? It's so inexplicable."
Zhongzhou Koi couldn't help but complain: "I thought you two were so unreliable!"
"Although Lao Jia is not very reliable, I won't do that kind of thing! Hiss... Was there any debuff just now? I didn't see anything!"
Zhen Junzi felt that his entire behavior and mentality were very strange. He added: "Besides, isn't this just a game? Why can it control my emotions? This is too outrageous, right? Doesn't the country care? "
Jia Xiaoren, who was standing by, finally calmed down his breathing. After hearing what his friend said, he couldn't help but retort, "What do you mean I'm unreliable? Do you know how to talk? And what on earth were you thinking just now? Why did you suddenly start barking like a dog?"
"I—Okay, okay, I'll endure it!"
Zhen Junzi took a deep breath and calmed down before saying, "Let's report this to the game officials first. If it's really a bug or a problem, they might even compensate us with a few activation codes!"
Jia Xiaoren said, "You're dreaming! Maybe you're arguing with me just because you're too childish! It's just that you don't want to believe it! Besides, if there really is something wrong with you, wouldn't the game be banned? And they'll even compensate you with the activation code. Tsk! Even though you're ugly, you have really beautiful thoughts!"
"Calm down, both of you! Stop talking nonsense!"
Bai Chenxue couldn't bear it any longer, so she raised her voice again and stopped the meaningless conversation between the two people.
Jia Xiaoren: “…”
Zhen Junzi's personality was a little more stable than Jia Xiaoren's. He realized that something was wrong between him and Jia Xiaoren today. He frowned and thought for a while, then said, "It seems that something is wrong since the beginning. I always feel very anxious, and my heart rate feels much faster than usual!"
Jia Xiaoren was horrified: "Oh no! This game really won't affect your health, right?"
"How is that possible!"
Zhen Junzi said firmly: "This game is supported by our flower-growing family. If there is really a problem, how could they let us play!"
"What if the flower family didn't notice it?"
"Do you think that all the big guys have their brains burned by irons like you?"
Bai Chenxue clapped her hands to attract the two's attention, and said seriously, "Alright! From now on, both of you shut up! Until we figure out what's going on!"
Shen Yun followed up by saying, "Well, I have submitted the feedback, but I don't know how long it will take to get a reply."
Bai Chenxue nodded and said, "It's fine if I submit it. I've submitted it too. Maybe it's just their own problem. They quarrel every day anyway!"
Since Bai Chenxue warned him not to speak, Jia Xiaoren hummed and moaned to express his dissatisfaction: "Ummmmmm (I'm not making noise)!" "Ignore him," Bai Chenxue snorted disdainfully, and said to the others: "Let's go back and ask for help first, and see if there is any good way to deal with the ghosts... Oh, sister, you just said 'all ghosts', can you elaborate on what's going on?"
The fear in Lin Mu Ning's eyes faded a lot, but her expression was still a little panicked. She swallowed and said, "Most plants can sense the existence of spirits. I can't really describe what it feels like. Anyway, at that time, I felt that there were all kinds of spirits everywhere! And that feeling was exactly the same as the ghosts I sensed in the last haunted bounty mission I took! Definitely ghosts! Lots and lots of ghosts!"
Bai Chenxue scratched his head in confusion: "This..."
"We have robbed several government bounties in nearby towns, but each time only the bounties on haunted places were left. The first time, Xiao Ning used plants to sense the hiding place of ghosts, and then we all did the same..."
Zhongzhou Koi explained, "In fact, ghosts are not that scary. They are hard to figure out because they can't be seen. They don't have any means of harming people. They can only smash pots and bowls at night when the yang energy is weakest, or laugh in your ear to scare people. When the person who lives with the ghost for a long time also has weak yang energy and is in a trance, the ghost will enter their dreams and make all kinds of messed up requests, but nothing too bad...
"The worst case we've seen was when the ghost took advantage of the victim's weakness and possessed him, then ran to the neighbor's house in the middle of the night, plowing the fields, fetching water, and chopping wood. Later we discovered that the ghost was the neighbor's son who had died in an accident."
Everyone listened with great interest, and Bai Chenxue urged, "That's quite filial! What happened next? What happened to the ghost?"
Zhongzhou Koi spread his hands and said, "It's gone!"
The excited crowd uttered a puzzled sound: "Ah!?"
Lin Mu Ning had been comforted by the special comfort of Zhongzhou Koi at this time, and she added: "In Guixu Realm... at least in Zhongzhou, there is no such thing as reincarnation. We have also checked the information in the library. Guixu Realm emphasizes 'people become ghosts after death, and ghosts become ghosts after death'. There is no underworld, and there is no reincarnation.
"The life span of a ghost is very short, at least a few hours, at most a few days, unless there is some obsession holding on, but then it is easy to turn into a fierce ghost or an evil ghost. Otherwise, you have to learn to practice in the way of ghosts. There is a special school for this, called 'ghost cultivation'. The 'soul cultivation' that is not open to our sect is also somewhat related to this school!"
It was the first time for everyone to come across the details of the game's background settings related to ghosts. They found it quite novel and started discussing it at once.
"Is soul cultivation just like the soul leaving the body?"
"It sounds a bit like that. Anyway, it's probably a condensed soul or something like that!"
"That sounds pretty cool! But why can't we play soul cultivation?"
"Maybe it's because we players don't have souls? Aren't we all controlled puppets?"
"You need a soul to control a puppet, right?"
"You're still lying in the game cabin! Where did your soul come from?!"
"This is a game! It's not real!"
"Hiss... That's right! Why don't you allow soul cultivation? Damn it!"
"You may not choose it even if it's open!"
"That's different. I can choose not to have it, but I can't live without it!"
Jia Xiaoren then asked, "What about '魙'? What is '魙'?"
