Old Gong, based on the existing information, proposed a possible deduction.
The Jinlun group chased Wu ling, and they were led into this mountain by the General by General, until they were led to the depths of the tomb in the mountain. At that moment, an explosion occurred outside the mountain, destroying the Fengshui. The vitality in the tomb was greatly disrupted. The corpses inside the mausoleum had their heads destroyed. The realm fell and the soul was divided into three parts.
They were trapped in a crucial location, unable to leave.
It is temporarily safe there, but the exit route is full of dangers.
Furthermore, during the mountain blasting, Wu Ling must still be inside the tomb.
With Jinlun's strength, it is impossible for him to be deceived by Wu Ling with other methods. He must have followed her in.
If Wu Ling leaves the tomb, they will also flee.
Having been the abbot of the Gao Tian Temple for so many years and then becoming one of the Taoists at the Lei Ping Taoist Temple, he couldn't be so lax.
The most critical point is that if Wu Ling escapes, he will not sit by and do nothing about the large number of monks who want to kill him.
Whether by pouring poison into this tomb or using more despicable methods to destroy the Fengshui, he would go to any length!
Lao Gong's analysis is logical and clear.
All the Guikann people, including Zhang Yi, all understood.
To ensure everyone is sufficiently cautious and vigilant, Lao Gong explained the levels of the dangerous corpses here, as well as the levels of the souls.
Everyone felt enlightened like they had been drenched in a cool breeze.
Wei Qing wobbled to his feet, he kept licking the blood on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were red, but his face had a suppressed greed.
"Little Wei Zi, I told you before, you need to control your desires. You can't handle ghosts of this level, even something like a black-leather hidden pouch can only temporarily contain them. You won't be able to control it and it will cost you your life." Lao Gong reminded Wei Qing again.
It was only then that I realized, indeed, when we were by the river, Wei Qing had taken out a waist-sized cloth bag before, which I felt somewhat familiar with.
Lao Gong had also reminded Wei Qing before.
"Wei Qing, listen to Lao Gong's words." Zhang Yi's large head seemed equally serious.
Time slowly passed by.
Half of the disordered stones at the entrance of the cave have been moved away, and everyone stopped to eat and rest.
It has to be said that Zhang Yi was very well-prepared; it turns out there was even a Guikang person carrying a portable stove, a simple small pot, and disposable chopsticks and spoons.
He cooked some jerky, dehydrated vegetables, and flatbread.
In this wild mountain and tomb, we were able to enjoy hot soup food, and our whole spirit was refreshed.
Even more so, he had prepared some wine for Lao Gong, as well as special yuanbao candles and incense sticks.
Lao Gong praised Zhang Yi for being truly skilled at doing things. As the leader of a city-level Guikang, he was too talented to be wasted.
I understand that Zhang Yi is getting more information about Guikang from Cai Zhi, and he is using this detailed way to satisfy me, in order to gain... the opportunity?
Indeed, Zhang Yi has done well.
However, I have no interest in thinking about these trivial matters now.
What really concerns me is that Wu Ling is definitely here!
Kill him, and the evil outside the Siguang Mountain will be eliminated! The mountain gate will be peaceful!
Moreover, if he dies here, it will never reach any of the elders' ears, and the mountain gate will not be stirred because of it!
After all, Wu Ling has been gone for too long.
The cave was dark inside, and the outside was equally dark. Even during the day, the thick clouds over the summit could not be dispersed.
With the arduous journey through mountains and rivers, as well as moving the chaotic stones, everyone needed rest.
I didn't sleep, I knelt in meditation to restore my spirits.
Until the light outside the cave grew dim and it became completely dark, the Guikang people gradually woke up one by one and continued with their work.
Finally, all the chaotic stones at the entrance were cleaned up, revealing a darker tomb passage behind.
Wei Qing had recovered somewhat, but he was obviously carrying a trace of fear and unease.
"Let's go! Wei Zi, don't be afraid, take the lead, and the rest of you all keep a careful eye on what's in front of you. If you see any unusual air currents, avoid them. The resentful and deceased Qi is very strong, it comes and goes in waves, slowly spreading out. We've all inhaled quite a bit here. Once it spreads out, the resentful and deceased Qi won't be able to kill people or extinguish souls." Lao Gong gave orders to Wei Qing while explaining to everyone else.
This is actually similar to burning incense. The initial fragrance is very strong, visible to the naked eye, but when you can't see it anymore, the smell almost disappears. It's like discussing the toxicity of something without considering the dosage, which is a point.
Wei Qing walked at the front, Zhang Yi was next to him, and we walked behind.
The tomb passage gradually sloped downwards, narrowing from three meters wide to two, then to one meter, where people could no longer walk side by side and had to go one after another.
We walked down nearly a hundred meters and saw the first monk's body leaning against the wall.
He was sprawled on the ground, his legs twisted and crossed, looking as if he had fallen down for no apparent reason and died.
In fact, we can imagine that he was suddenly decapitated, and his body didn't even have time to react. As they continued to walk forward, his life was already over.
Wei Qing continued to lead the way forward, and when we reached a certain spot, he suddenly stopped.
It was very dark here, even with everyone holding flashlights, it seemed as if a thin, gray-black aura couldn't be pierced through.
That aura was like mist but not mist, and it was constantly dissipating.
When it reached us, we felt freezing and piercing bone.
This is the resentment and deceased Qi that has dissipated, as Lao Gong mentioned...
We should go over here and keep going forward, and we will see the three tomb passage entrances that Wei Qing mentioned!
We can also see two more monk bodies on the ground...
There is also an endless stream of resentment and deceased Qi shooting out of the tomb passage entrances...
Fengshui, here it starts killing people!
……
Wei Qing dare not go any further, and he looked towards Lao Gong.
Zhang Yi shouted out a name, and immediately, a Guikang person walked forward, gesturing to want to take the lead.
"What are you in a hurry for? Have you heard what Lao Gong said?" Lao Gong glared at Zhang Yi and said, "You bigheaded ghost, you were quite astute before, but you're out of sight here?"
"..." Zhang Yi's face was unsettled, with a forced smile on his face.
"I've never liked taking others to explore the way, everyone has their own value. Human life is crucial, and I'm not like those vicious master's. You change a regular person to walk ahead, isn't that letting people die? Wei Zi, you walk ahead, you'll notice the resentment and deceased Qi faster, tell the others to avoid them."
Lao Gong spoke again, directly addressing Wei Qing.
"..." Zhang Yi's face slightly changed, he wanted to speak but hesitated.
But I can see that the reason he called someone was actually to protect Wei Qing.
In the Guikang, the lives of ordinary people don't matter much and can be replenished easily. Wu Qing, who understands Fengshui, is different.
But in Lao Gong's eyes, Wei Qing's response is faster and the probability of death is lower, so he is the best choice for exploring!
Certainly, Lao Gong can see Zhang Yi's reaction, he pretended not to understand.
"I..." Wei Qing's face was slightly pale as he said, "Lao Gong, I've already had a pair of male and female children extinguished. On this journey, I've been concentrating hard and have used up a lot of energy. Can I walk at the back? I can also give timely warnings, and you can remind me too?"
"You're teaching me to do things?" Lao Gong said in a sinister tone: "I hate being told what to do by others the most in my life. Also, most Guikang people raise ghosts that are captured from all over the place, those who say they kill and raise ghosts are not many. The ghosts raised are not as fierce as those born from their own experiences of misfortune."
"There is one exception, which is the male and female children. No matter how they die, they are terrifyingly fierce. You happened to get so many male and female children, either you carefully selected and killed them, or you got them through some coincidence."
"The former, it proves that you are ruthless and even kill children! You deserve to die! And you're still interested in the ghosts here, how can I leave you?"
"If it's the latter, you're a person of great destiny, the resentment and deceased Qi here won't kill you, what are you afraid of?" Lao Gong's face changed faster than a book page, from fierce to smiling in an instant.
Wei Qing, however, broke out into a sweat on his forehead with beads of sweat, looking extremely terrified.
My heart suddenly sank.
In fact, when Wei Qing used the first ghost child, I didn't have much of a feeling.
But when another pair of male and female children were released, along with a lone female child, I started to feel a bit off.
It's just that it's of great importance, I didn't think about it too much. After all, Guikang people were never really kind.
Lao Gong is too detailed.
His words directly pointed out that Wei Qing must die!
Either he must be killed now, or he must explore the way!
"Your point is that I must die? Since we are Guikang people, how many of us haven't killed anyone?" Wei Qing's forehead bulged with tendons, his shock and anger grew.
He indeed understood the implied meaning in Lao Gong's words.
"What makes you target me, and not target others?" he growled.
"Because you have old Gong's preference, because others are willing to really explore the way, they pull back and use their lives to accumulate virtue, because you are timid and want to reap the benefits of being a bystander, I see not only do you want the ghost general here, but you also want your old Gong to be here!" Lao Gong's words were even heavier.
Originally, Zhang Yi had a look of pleading, but now he was looking at Lao Gong with shock and doubt.
"So, should you die now or die during the exploration process? Hahaha, if you survive the exploration process without dying, I'll let you explore more routes. If you live through it all, it means your fate doesn't want you to die. I won't go against fate and send you to be reincarnated. It's better than me eating you now and having your belly turned." Lao Gong opened his mouth again.
Wei Qing was sweating profusely, and his expression showed a hint of supplication towards Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi remained silent, stepping back slightly.
In that moment, Wei Qing's face was ashen.
"Tsk tsk, did you kill the children with such arrogance, making it impossible for others to resist? Let me preemptively tell you this. In your next life, be careful of this. Even battlefield warfare doesn't hurt women and children." Lao Gong spat a thick glob of saliva on Wei Qing's feet, his ghost face rarely showing any decency.
Wei Qing remained silent, taking a step forward and plunging his head into the mist-like but not-mist aura.
Lao Gong followed suit, and the rest of us walked behind. Everyone's eyes had a trace of caution and reverence for Lao Gong.
My gaze lingered more on Wei Qing.
