For ordinary people like Lu Zhaowen and Lao Guo, it is really difficult for them to "take risks" in the second-level world.
But then again, if they can leave this horrible street alive and go back in the future, they will definitely be stronger than ordinary people. It all depends on whether they can get through this level.
At the beginning, Lin Mo was still full of confidence and felt that he could bring all the victims back.
But after experiencing these things, my confidence collapsed.
This second level of dream is indeed terrifying.
However, the last time I came to see Liu Jia, I didn’t think that the second level of dreams was anything special. Later, after discussing with my brother, I realized that this area of the second level of dreams is very strange, and most people will not encounter anything strange or weird.
Even if you encounter one, it may be a weaker nightmare.
But the characteristic here is that the upper limit is high.
It's like this horror street.
It is said that this scale can be formed in the second-level dream, similar to the projection area of the streets in the real world. It is definitely not ordinary. Generally, if you encounter it, run away quickly.
If nothing unexpected happens, there must be some terrifying ghosts with extremely high abilities here.
This is also true.
Now everyone is crowded in this small shop. A few people have not fully recovered yet and are lying on the ground humming softly.
Lin Mo knew why they were humming.
After being caught by the previous thief, the place where I was caught became numb. How can I describe this feeling? It's like a person's arm was used as a pillow by his girlfriend all night, and he couldn't lift it up the next morning. It was painful and numb.
If you are caught by a ghost, this feeling will be magnified several times.
This feeling is so sour and refreshing.
So some people can't help but hum, which is normal and understandable.
Lin Mo, who was a little depressed at the moment, sighed repeatedly. His brother saw it and said that this was not his style.
"Also, what was that thing you slipped to me later?"
The elder brother asked at this time.
Lin Mo said that it was the Demon Revealing Soup, a secret elixir handed down from our Lin family. After drinking it, one would go straight into drunken madness mode, with combat power increased by more than two or three times, or even more. The downside was that one might suffer from blackouts and forget what happened for a period of time after drinking the medicine.
Bro, I understand.
At that time, Lin Mo had already made up his mind to fight to the death.
But no matter what, they have passed the previous level, but it is obviously not the end. They are still in Horror Street and will inevitably encounter more terrible problems and difficulties later.
We have to find a way.
Otherwise, the consequences will be serious.
"This place should be safe for now. At worst, we can set up some formations."
Seeing that his brother had not recovered yet, Lin Mo had to do it himself.
Lin Mo could only be considered an entry-level Taoist practitioner and his skills were not very sophisticated. Fortunately, he knew how to summon the gods.
As soon as the incantation was used, Zuo Bai came.
The first thing he said after arriving was: "What a strong ghost aura, what the hell is this place?"
As Zuo Bai interacted more with Lin Mo, he began to speak more like Lin Mo, even using words like "fuck" frequently.
But this only makes it seem that he and Lin Mo have a very good relationship.
"Have you heard of the second level of dreams?"
Lin Mo began to show off.
As a result, when Zuo Bai heard it, he said that it was just a lower level ghost place, nothing great. When he was practicing, he traveled to the ghost land and had been here before.
Still an experienced driver.
Lin Mo became even happier after hearing this.
Experienced drivers are good, this is the kind of experienced drivers we lack now.
Zuo Bai told Lin Mo about his past experiences of wandering in the spirit world, saying that there were several more levels in this lower ghost realm. He did not go deeper, but just wandered around a bit.
"To put it simply, this kind of place is vast and ghosts are sparse. Sometimes you may encounter ordinary ghosts, but if you are unlucky, it is normal to encounter strong ghosts. When I was young and full of energy, I cultivated the sword of the mind and thought that the world was so big that I could go anywhere. As a result, I almost couldn't come back from the Second Ghost Land. Since then, I have never been there again."
Lin Mo thought about the lower two that Zuo Bai mentioned, and after some calculation, it should be the third level of nightmare realm.
Being able to stir up trouble in the third-level nightmare world, Zuo Bai was indeed awesome back then.
Lin Mo had no intention of exploring.
If it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to wander around the third level nightmare realm in his life.
He was forced to come to the second level dream this time. If he hadn't had something else, he wouldn't have come.
Zuo Bai looked at this place and said, "This place is very dangerous. What are you doing here when you have nothing to do?" "This is because we are forced to do so. We didn't know this place was so scary before we came. Master Zuo, please think of a way to help us defend this small piece of land first."
Lin Mo explained the actual situation.
Zuo Bai nodded and said, "If you ask me to kill the evil spirits in this place, I won't go, even if you kill me. But if I just want to guard this place, that's fine."
"I will set up a formation for you. Ordinary ghosts will definitely not be able to get in. Moreover, this formation is for concealment, not for defense."
Zuo Bai boasted about himself for a while.
After listening to this, Lin Mo said, what you mean is, if a powerful ghost comes, we can’t stop it, right?
"Yes, isn't this nonsense? Judging from the ferocity of the evil spirits here, there are at least three ghosts who can easily break through the formation. Besides, head-on confrontation is not my style. We emphasize using softness to overcome hardness and using little force to overcome great power."
Although it seems like a forced explanation, Zuo Bai's idea is correct.
Lin Mo thought that no matter how powerful the formation was, it would not be able to withstand the attack of the blood-eyed evil ghost.
The best way is to hide if you can, and not be discovered.
Next is Zuo Bai’s time to take action.
The other party has extraordinary means and can condense talismans with Yin energy from a distance.
When the old man saw this method, he called it professional and high-end. After all, Zuo Bai was the master-level figure of the Taoist Zhengqian Palace and a Taoist master with hundreds of years of experience. To him, this method was nothing.
After a while, a hidden formation was set up.
According to Zuo Bai, the best way to hide a mung bean is to dye it yellow and throw it among the yellow soybeans.
Since this horror street is full of evil spirits, it is easy to imagine that it is just like a green bean falling into a yellow bean. It is too obvious and can be seen at a glance.
Therefore, we have to disguise the breath of the living people here as evil spirits in order to pass them off as real ones and preserve this place.
Zuo Bai’s craftsmanship is excellent. If you close your eyes, you will feel a creepy aura, as if the room is full of evil spirits.
“Bullshit!”
Lin Mo gave Zuo Bai a thumbs up.
Zuo Bai said, stop talking nonsense, if everything is fine, I will leave, your place is too scary, I won’t get involved in this mess.
"No, no, wait a minute."
Lin Mo hurriedly stopped Zuo Bai.
"Anything else?" Zuo Bai looked impatient.
"Don't leave in a hurry. I just need your advice on something professional." Lin Mo smiled.
"What professional thing?"
"There is a Taoist temple here. You know, I know very little about the history of Taoism. I just want to invite you, a professional, to take a look."
"I'm not going." Zuo Bai shook his head.
His idea was very simple. In such a scary place, there was actually a Taoist temple. There was no doubt that it was not a proper Taoist temple. It might hide even bigger troubles.
It’s better not to cause trouble.
"Uncle Zuo, when did you become so timid? It's really not a problem, and there's no danger. It's just a circle around the door. Just take a look and see if you can figure out what it is."
"Is it that simple?"
"Yes, it's that simple."
"All right."
Zuo Bai was fooled.
Lin Moxin said that it will not be up to you at that time.
At this time, Lin Mo's clothes moved, and a severed hand crawled out.
This is Broken Hand Brother.
Brother with the Broken Hand has been hiding in Lin Mo's clothes since he encountered danger before. Since this guy only has one hand left, he is very good at hiding.
Maybe he felt that it was no longer dangerous, so he ran out.
“It’s a good thing.”
Because Lin Mo invited Zuo Bai to come to himself, so to others it seemed that Lin Mo was talking to himself, which was very strange, like a mental patient.
The man with the severed hand had never seen such a situation before and was stunned.
The next moment, Zuo Bai controlled Lin Mo's body, stretched out his hand, and then condensed the Yin Energy. With a puff, a ball of fire condensed in his palm.
Just roast the severed hand.
Lin Mo was naturally shocked, and asked Zuo Bai what he was doing, why did he roast my brother? "Is this your brother? Which brother, the fifth brother?"
Zuo Bai smiled maliciously.
Then he said, "You are blind to the value of gold and jade. This severed hand is not simple. Don't make a fuss. You will have to thank me later."
Zuo Bai's hands kept moving.
Lin Mo didn't make any trouble, just watched quietly.
Others watched too.
Zuo Bai used some kind of flame to burn the severed hand, causing it to twitch and struggle. However, the strange thing was that the severed hand did not seem to be afraid of the flame, and slowly merged with the flame.
Finally, use the talisman to stick the seal.
The details were so professional that Lin Mo couldn't understand it, but the final result was that the severed hand seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation.
Zuo Bai raised his hand and threw the severed hand to the ground. The next moment, the severed hand sank into the ground.
It's like sinking into water.
Until it disappears.
The next moment, Zuo Bai stretched out his hand and pointed, saying to bring over a clay sculpture over there.
"It's the one with seven heads and six arms."
Zuo Bai finished speaking.
The severed hand suddenly stretched out from the ground over there, grabbed the clay sculpture, swam over quickly, and called the thing back into Zuo Bai's hand.
Lin Mo thought about it and asked what it was called. Zuo Bai said, "This is the Qiankun Ruyi Hand of the Taoist sect. You don't understand. This is a magic weapon made by the secret method of the Taoist sect in the past. Although its lethality is average, it can take objects at will from a distance of a hundred feet. In the future, when your ability is high, you can take objects even from a distance of a thousand miles."
Lin Mo understood.
No wonder it is called the 'Qian Kun Ru Yi Hand'.
According to Zuo Bai, this thing is still very useful as an auxiliary.
"Of course, but there is such a secret treasure here. I really want to go and see the Taoist temple you mentioned."
As a result, going out to explore the Taoist temple became a top priority.
My brother was almost done resting by this time, and said that we should go and take a look before the next ghost parade, maybe we could find something.
The three of them hit it off immediately.
Lin Mo and his team are going out to investigate, and the most nervous ones are Lu Zhaowen and Lao Guo.
These two said you should come back soon.
It was a look of worry, the same feeling as when a girlfriend is about to go on a business trip.
They were afraid that if anything happened to Lin Mo and the others, they would all be doomed here.
There was no way he could leave alive.
Rather than that, it would be easier to just commit suicide.
Lin Mo and Zuo Bai, together with their brother, went out.
Zuo Bai looked around and his expression became more serious.
"Avoid the place ahead, don't get close to it."
Zuo Bai warned.
Lin Mo also took a look.
It looked like a barber shop.
How scary could this barber shop be? But since Zuo Bai said so, it meant that there was indeed a scary monster in that barber shop.
You can't get close, but you can watch from a distance.
Lin Mo took a closer look.
In the barber shop, a man was cutting another man's hair.
It can be seen that the scissors are flying up and down, and the barber's skills are superb. Just looking at it, it seems that nothing can be seen, but at this moment, Lin Mo noticed that there was another thing wriggling in the barber shop.
A large black area.
It seems to be hair.
It is normal to have hair in a barber shop, but it is abnormal to have so much hair and for it to move by itself.
It seems right not to get close.
What if you pass by and are forced to go in to wash your hair? Who can you complain to?
According to Lu Zhaowen's description, Lin Mo walked forward along the road ahead. Zuo Bai kept sighing along the way and asked why you guys had nothing to do but go to such a place. Isn't this just courting death?
He also said that there were some places that even he didn't dare to visit.
Not to mention getting close, you can’t even look at it.
"Lin Mo, maybe this is the last time we meet. If you die, I will be lonely." Zuo Bai said.
Lin Mo said, "Uncle Master, can you please say something auspicious?"
What death or life? I've experienced so many terrible things in the past, why am I afraid of this? Zuo Bai smiled and said that this time was different.
Lin Mo asked him what was different.
Before Zuo Bai could say anything, a Taoist temple building could be seen in the distance. At the same time, a very strange sound of chanting could be heard.
It is said that monks only chant sutras in temples.
In fact, Taoists also recite it.
It's just a different method.
To put it simply, when Taoists chant, people who listen can generally understand the literal meaning, but it is difficult to understand the deeper meaning; on the contrary, when monks chant, you cannot know what they are chanting specifically just by listening, but based on the tone of voice, you seem to be able to sense the master's intention, whether it be sorrow, joy, or solemnity.
That's what's different.
But what I hear now, I can neither understand the specific words nor feel the specific emotions.
It's totally incomprehensible.
That's not right either.
At least I can feel the terror.
Just that weird horror.
It was as if telling everyone that this place was scary and that everyone should never get close to it.
As a result, Zuo Bai listened and obviously understood it. He then explained to Lin Mo and Lin Yuan that it was a warning and also a wailing, containing pain and fear.
I actually guessed it right.
From a distance, the Taoist temple is hidden in the darkness, and only a small part of the building can be seen. Smoke from incense can be seen wafting out of the courtyard.
"Looking at the style of this Taoist temple, it should be the Zhenyi sect. This sect doesn't have many members, so I thought it wouldn't last long. I didn't expect to see it here."
Zuo Bai was commenting at this moment.
Lin Mo said the distance was too far, so let’s get closer and take a look.
So I followed the corner of the wall with my brother.
When passing by some shops, they would lower their heads and bend their waists so as not to be seen by the things in the shops.
As a result, just as they were about to approach the Taoist temple, an accident happened.
The door of the Taoist temple creaked open.
A person walked out from inside.
Fortunately, Lin Mo and Lin Yuan walked along the corner and hid in the dark, otherwise, they would have come face to face with each other.
When Lin Mo saw this person coming out, he was immediately shocked. His expression changed, and finally he frowned and couldn't help muttering something.
"How could it be her?"
