hell in disguise

The corpse was moved to the bottom bin, and Tan Yangzi used cinnabar to draw a circle of complicated spells around the corpse.Then let the three fishermen stay in the cabin, draw evil spells on the cabin door and the wall, and then entered the bottom cabin with Yan Fei, sealed the trapdoor, lit an oil lamp, and waited quietly.

The last ray of sunlight was swallowed by the black sea, and the night swallowed everything in an instant with a destructive force.The waves kept washing against the surrounding walls of the ship. Yan Fei found a place that was not so humid and sat down. Looking at the corpse, he asked Tan Yangzi with some perplexity, "Master, the so-called heavenly law that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil. Is it true, or is it a lie?"

Tan Yangzi was still squatting on the ground, holding a pen in his hand, and continued to perfect the magic circle seriously.Hearing his question, I glanced at him, and said after a while, "At your current age, you should believe it's true."

"If it is true, why are you in hell, and those villagers who repay their kindness, those villains who abuse their children and wives, and those officials who are fish and meat, can live well in the world?"

Tan Yangzi paused his pen and said, "I'm not a good person."

"I don't care what happened in my previous life, the master I know is a good person. I can still tell the difference between good and bad!" Yan Fei said stubbornly.

But Tan Yangzi sighed, "Good and bad? There is no such thing as good and bad in this world. People's hearts are the most fickle. They used to be good, but they may become bad in the future. The villagers you mentioned may be very angry with Bai Pingxuan. It is true that they have done unforgivable things, but they may be very concerned about their families. They may be loving parents or filial sons and daughters. Maybe they have done many good things. People have many faces, and they all feel that they are Doing the right thing. How can you tell the difference between good and bad?"

"But only bad people go to hell, don't they?"

"People who have done evil karma will be dragged to hell by karma. Evil karma itself is not necessarily a bad thing, but a bad cause and effect in series. Sometimes you even think you are doing the right thing, but in the end it becomes It is also possible to do bad karma. Just like those young birds, what bad things did they do? It’s just the deep-seated hatred that they can’t let go of, so they have to stay in hell and wait for revenge.”

Yan Fei played with the soul-inducing bell in his hand, and murmured, "Then what about those gods who raise infants? Why aren't they in hell?"

Tan Yangzi paused, and just about to open his mouth, a strange burning sensation suddenly exploded in his chest.He snorted, dropped the pen in his hand to the ground, and covered his chest with his hands.

"Master! What's wrong with you!" Yan Fei hurriedly rushed to support him, his face full of anxiety.

Tan Yangzi took a deep breath, waiting for the scorching heat to dissipate.He was careless and forgot that he still had a sealing seal on his body.He waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just don't mention what you just mentioned."

Yan Fei was surprised, "Why? Has it something to do with that?"

Tan Yangzi nodded silently.

Yan Fei frowned slightly, he didn't quite understand at first, but after thinking about it, he guessed a bit.If the baby Gu in the underground palace is really related to the Heavenly Court, they must be unwilling to be known by the outside world.They must have done something to the master so that the master could not say that.

"Bastard..." Yan Fei gritted his teeth and scolded, "Is that Bai Wuchang? The one called Xie Yucheng? I heard from Luo Xin that he saw you and that one named Xie Yucheng go to Mount Heisuo. He Did I threaten you?"

"Okay, now is not the time to talk about that." Tan Yangzi scolded.He knew that Yan Fei couldn't be obsessed with this.After all, Yan Fei has already offended many people by becoming Hong Wuchang. If he makes enemies again, life in Fengdu will not be easy in the future.And if it gets too big, Qi Yanfei will be silenced.

Silence spread between the two for a while, Tan Yangzi reached out to pick up the pen on the ground, but Yan Fei grabbed his hand suddenly.

Tan Yangzi glared at him, trying to pull his hand back, but Yan Fei stubbornly held on.

"Yan Fei, stop making trouble!" Tan Yangzi's voice became severe.

Only then did Yan Fei let go of his hand, but there was something dangerous in the depths of his eyes, which made Tan Yangzi startled for a moment.He had become increasingly confused about what was going on in Yan Fei's mind.

Or maybe he never knew about it...

But at this moment, the candle flickered on and off for a moment, and a chill gradually rose from the bottom of the cabin.Tan Yangzi turned his head and fixed his eyes on the corpse.

The body remained motionless.

Yan Fei said, "Is it coming out?"

Tan Yangzi said to the corpse, "Mr. Shui Lang, be sensible, you can't run anymore, come out quickly."

However, the corpse remained motionless, like a real corpse.

What is still holding Bai Pingxuan's soul?If he can figure it out, cut off that last connection, and the corpse has rotted like this, Shui Langjun will not be able to hide.

Yan Fei said, "Why don't I... use the method of observation?"

Tan Yangzi thought about it.Although Bai Pingxuan's seven souls have been dispersed, his soul might still be there.As long as the soul of the earth is alive, there should be emotions, and it is unknown what mystery may be seen.He nodded and said, "Since that's the case, you and I will use empathy first, and then use empathy." In this way, he can also see the emotional fluctuations that Yan Fei saw.

So Tan Yangzi quickly drew a magic circle on the ground, and the two sat facing each other in the circle, and cut the bloodstains on their palms with the Zhanye sword.Two hands together.Different blood blends with each other, the four eyes meet, and the spirit penetrates in the void.Yan Fei saw Tan Yangzi's real body Jianna appearing in front of him, with blue skin and white hair, strong and dangerous, but with a desolate beauty that Yan Fei couldn't take his eyes off.At this time, there was some kind of slight pull between the seven souls of the two, Yan Fei obeyed that pull, opened his hands, and hugged Qian Na who was also flying towards him.

The last time I used empathy was in the underground palace of Abi Hell.It's just that the empathy technique was not completed that time, and it's not a good memory.

He still clearly remembers Master's expression of panic, fear, sadness, and anger at that time.

But this time the blend felt completely different.The seven souls of Qianna are heavy and cold, like an ice field that has experienced countless winds and frosts, filled with suffocating sorrow.However, this eternal coldness does not make Yan Fei feel afraid, on the contrary, he feels a kind of satisfaction that he can't wait for, a kind of comfort like reunion after a long absence.He felt that all his senses overlapped with the Master's and merged into one.He wanted to warm the ice sheet, and filled the incomplete holes with all his heat.He wanted to make Master never feel lonely again.

Opening his eyes again, he saw his master and himself at the same time.Wonderful feeling, slight dizziness, and feeling closer to Master than ever before.

Tan Yangzi also seemed slightly surprised, and a little uneasy, and that emotion was transmitted to Yan Fei through their empathy.Master also felt that strange and complete feeling.

Tan Yangzi hadn't experienced this feeling for a long, long time.Even when Shivamara was still alive, in the last 200 years, there was no such perfect empathy.

It was so perfect that he didn't have to speak, just thinking "we can start", Yan Fei started to use his emotion-seeing technique as if he had heard his words.

Still the illusion of falling off guard, passing through the sea of ​​darkness and those distorted shapes, a scene that surprised him appeared in front of Yan Fei.

Numerous extremely thick blood-red love strings spread all over the sky like chaotic ropes, constantly growing new branches, with no end in sight.Those corners and turns are very abrupt and aggressive, and there are even barb-like things growing out.Watching it for a long time can make people feel dizzy, nauseated and depressed.

"Hate, endless hatred." Yan Fei heard the master say in his mind, "His resentment is too strong, maybe that's why he is still in the corpse."

"Wait a minute..." Yan Fei squatted down, moved closer, and looked carefully at the center of the messy string of love.He noticed that there was a string of love in this chaos that was different from the others. The color was not that angry red, but a faint, gentle pale pink, which was not obvious when mixed with scarlet, but it was there, and Spread like a ghost in every corner of this mess.

"what is that?"

The master was silent for a while, then said, "Missing, who is he thinking about."

"Master, if he can express his affection, will he be able to suppress other resentments?"

"No!" Tan Yangzi stopped immediately, "Your cultivation base is still low, don't touch those love strings, otherwise your own love strings will also be affected."

"But we have no other way to enter his consciousness..."

But at this moment, Yan Fei's body froze suddenly.

He just felt something crawl on his leg, and he stamped his foot vigorously.But he only had time to see a black thing bite open the cloth on his calf, and suddenly got into his skin.The speed was so fast that Yan Fei even felt dazzled for a moment.

"Yan Fei! Come out!" Tan Yangzi's voice suddenly became urgent.

"what is that?"

"Come out! We've been tricked!"

However, it was too late, and suddenly the originally pitch-black ground "squirmed". It turned out that the ground was not empty, but there were countless black leech-sized insects dormant motionless, hiding in the darkness.They swarmed up, like a tide, and quickly climbed up Yan Fei's feet, making him unable to move. .Yan Fei was completely panicked now, he felt that something was constantly penetrating into his skin from all directions, although there was no pain, but the weird feeling of being invaded gave him a horrible feeling that he was being swallowed up bit by bit.He stomped vigorously, but soon the bugs crawled to his chest, his arms, his back, his neck... His body was extremely heavy, his center of gravity was unstable, and he staggered and fell to the ground.And the tide formed by the bugs also submerged him in an instant...

He finally let out a scream, but he couldn't tell whether it was his own cry or the master's.

Consciousness was floating and sinking in nothingness, and suddenly, he heard a strange voice.

He couldn't tell if it was a human voice or an animal's voice, maybe it wasn't even a voice, but an image, a piece of thought, gently enveloping his consciousness.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Yan Fei wanted to struggle, to resist.The disembodied being said to him again, "We are not your enemies."

"You are Shui Langjun!" Yan Fei shouted in his head.

"That's the name they gave us. We don't have a name because we're changing so fast. One day we're one thing, the other is tomorrow. Names don't mean anything, we're all one. Just like you are and We are one."

"I am me, I'm not a bunch of bugs!"

"We are not bugs either. Just like you are composed of countless microns, isn't the 'worm' in your mouth also a kind of microns. You just think that you are an unchanging individual, but this is just a part of your body. It's just an illusion that the tiny particles give you."

Yan Fei couldn't understand their words at all. Master said that no one could understand Shui Langjun's way of thinking, and it seemed to be true.

"Where is my master! What did you do to him!" Why can't the master's voice be heard?Has empathy failed?

But if it fails, why is there an inexplicable sense of restlessness and compulsion to forcibly suppress emotions lingering in my mind?

"You mean your lover? You call him Master?" Shui Langjun's thoughts seemed to become much gentler, "He is what you want?"

This thing... actually has the ability to read emotions?No wonder it is able to hide in the strings of love.

"I want you to let my master go!" Yan Fei said angrily.

"No, you don't want to. Because we can help you get him." Shui Langjun has no face, but if he has one, he is probably smiling now, "It may be difficult for you Hongwuchang to modify emotions, but for us It's easy to say. Thanks to that strange empathetic connection between you, now he's caught by us too, as long as you promise us one thing, we'll make him yours."

Yan Fei was taken aback, as if he couldn't believe that these seemingly low-level bugs could do many things that Hong Wuchang couldn't?

"You don't believe us? Or don't you believe how powerful emotions are? As long as the modification is in place, people can even have hallucinations and do things that are contrary to common sense. For example, your master, if you want to have sex with him, you just need to put him Pull out the strings of lust and bind the other strings, and he will throw himself into his arms. Don’t you want to try it?”

Inexplicable embarrassment, anger, and a little bit of temptation... Yan Fei suddenly calmed down.He opened his eyes, looked at the ever-changing void, and asked coldly, "How do I know you're not saying the same thing as my master?"

"Of course we are also negotiating with him, but it is difficult to determine what he wants, not as simple as yours. His emotions are too complicated, we don't like it."

It sounds like this Shui Langjun is not very good at lying?

"You said he has complicated emotions, how can you change him?"

"Although it is complicated, we only need to find a string."

"What else do you need from me?"

"We're going to attach to you."

Yan Fei opened his eyes wide, annoyed and funny, "Attach me?! Do you know that I am impermanence?"

"We want you to take us to Yuzao Village."

"why?"

"We promised to avenge that man. And we need more bodies so we can spread out."

It's hard to get caught if you spread it out...Is that so?That's why there are so many bugs hanging on Jiang Yu's body?

"Haven't you already killed a lot of people?"

"There is no suitable body, and the body is too difficult to find."

"Then how do you know I'm suitable?"

"You are a shell, you don't have a soul. And your body is not decayed, so you can use it to live temporarily."

He's a... shell?

This is the first time Yan Fei has heard this description...

But if they were on his body, would they let go of that poor Bai Pingxuan's soul?

Just as he was thinking this way, a sudden burst of sharp consciousness, from Tan Yangzi's consciousness, invaded his mind.

"Don't take it! Whatever they offer you, don't take it!"
