Chapter 249: Funeral Palace in Suburban Beijing (65)
Mental pollution can be transmitted to each other and is highly contagious. Wei Xun knew this as early as when he ate demons in northern Tibet.
At the time, he thought that this was unique to the demon clan. On the surface, they were devouring each other, but in terms of the source of their energy, they were polluting each other. But now seeing that the opposite sex in his Vulcan incarnation was called 'spiritual pollution' by the Death Token, Wei Xun couldn't help but think of his demonic opposite sex. Is it also some kind of 'spiritual pollution' state in the abyss?
Perhaps this is the real answer, otherwise why would the alienation state appear when the SAN value drops.
If this is the case, it means that what is truly highly contagious is mental pollution itself. So Wei Xun tried to contaminate the consciousness of death in the tombstone - if others heard this, they would definitely think it was a fantasy!
This is the spiritual pollution of the dead that exists in the tombstone of an emperor! If you want to deal with it, the prerequisite is to be stronger than the opponent! The particularity of the Ming Tombs means that this spiritual pollution does not originate from a certain emperor, but from the consciousness of the death of the Ming Dynasty in a broad sense!
It can be said that all the emperor's tombstones, and even the entire Ming Tombs, are all spiritually polluted by the consciousness of death! This kind of pure, connected spiritual pollution is, to some extent, far more terrifying than Qianjia Paper or Mr. Peeling.
A strong man can kill Qian Jiazhi, but who can destroy the spiritual pollution of an entire past dynasty?
No one can do it!
However, Wei Xun is not here to hurt them, he is here to join them.
Are all the consciousnesses of the dead connected? Isn't it a coincidence? His death token also contains a lot of death awareness.
There is absolutely no difference between them. The only small difference is that while chanting "Ming", they also chant "Fire God". What's the problem with this?
Everyone is mentally polluted by the consciousness of death, so of course we must tolerate each other and pass on consciousness to each other.
So Wei Xun successfully introduced the dead consciousnesses in the Death Token into the tombstone by chanting "Fire God, Fire God". After chanting the Fire God with him, nothing happened to Wei Xun.
After a brief pause, the consciousness of death in the tombstone began to chant again. This is what they have repeated for hundreds of years, but...
‘Ming, Ming, Ming, Vulcan, Ming——’
While talking about the Ming Dynasty, a small number of parts that were mixed with the mental pollution in the Death Ming Token finally began to undergo subtle changes!
This change is really small, but if you leave it alone -
It is very likely that it will spread rapidly like a virus until it 'infects' all the consciousness of death in the entire Ming Tombs.
In this way, First Wei Xun's identity as the 'Vulcan God' will be recognized by more people with mental pollution, and his strength will definitely be enhanced. second……
If you can get the attention of Yongling through this.
Wei Xun thought.
That's even better.
"I'm fine."
Withdrawing his consciousness and letting the mental pollution in the Death Token communicate with the tombstone, Wei Xun looked at his hand. Like the devil merchant, he also had two red pills in his hand.
Behind the Ming Tower is the Baoding. The underground palace under the Baoding contains the coffins of the emperor and the queen, which is the residence of the emperor in the underworld. Even if the emperor is 'not at home' now, not just anyone can visit him.
If you want to be in Minglou, you must first pass the emperor's test.
‘Some tests are not difficult and are equivalent to some kind of invitation. ’
Wei Xun remembered what the Fifteenth Emperor said.
‘If you really go to the Ming Tower and want to see me in the underground palace, then you must make a wood carving that satisfies me. ’
The Fifteenth Emperor smiled, and Wei Xun also laughed. It is said that it is a greeting, but in fact it is still 'making things difficult'. In other words, even if they get the approval of the Fifteenth Emperor through the Apocalypse Explosion, they still need to make a wooden sculpture that satisfies him before they can actually go to the underground palace to see him.
In the final analysis, the passengers still do not have enough "identity" and have to go through more tests.
‘But my father’s test is different. ’
The Fifteenth Emperor said solemnly: 'If you want to see your father, you must go through the test of death. ’
Wei Xun knew what the test of death was when those two red pills rolled out when he was still in Deling Village. Now that he has arrived at the Minglou of the Fourteenth Emperor, everything is as he expected.
"One of these two red pills should make people die and the other should make people live, right?'
The Devil Merchant speculated that the Fourteenth Emperor in history felt 'warm and comfortable' after taking the first red pill. Originally, his body was extremely weak and almost exhausted, but after taking this red pill, he became energetic again!
So in the evening of that day, the Fourteenth Emperor insisted on taking another red pill. However, soon after taking the second red pill, the Fourteenth Emperor died.
Taking the Hongwan case, one of the three major cases in the late Ming Dynasty that led to his own death, as a test, it is enough to know how unwelcome the Fourteenth Emperor was to outsiders.
Indeed, whether he reigned for the shortest time and died in just one month, or whether he occupied the original mausoleum of the Seven Emperors of the Ming Dynasty, or he was of humble origin and was not loved by his father, all the fourteen emperors were worried about his death. He lived a very autistic life afterwards...this is what Wei Xun speculated.
But this doesn't actually work on other undead. After all, they are already dead, Benimaru.
The Devil Merchant didn't speculate too much on the Fourteenth Emperor's mood. The Devil Merchant had seen this kind of 'choose one' assessment of life and death a lot. These two red pills have exactly the same appearance. Obviously one is the ‘first’ and the other is the ‘second’.
He had just carefully inspected the two red pills and even used some props to detect them, but he didn't find anything out of the ordinary. So this time it's obviously a game of luck.
If you win the bet and survive by taking a red pill, you can enter the underground palace.
Although I have seen it a lot, the Devil Merchant has never taken such a risk personally. After all, it stands to reason that this kind of test should be passed by tourists, and their tour guides can just watch the show.
"With this level of difficulty, if you make a wrong bet, you will definitely die without a solution."
The devil merchant looked at Xiao Cui and joked: "You really guessed it in advance, so you let me come with you?"
Tour guides are not afraid of death, but each reset is very dangerous, especially the first reset, which is a test of life and death. Even a tour guide who can regain his sanity within half an hour is considered a genius.
The devil businessman has other methods and is not afraid of this. But Xiao Cui frankly said that she was worried that she was too unlucky. If death really delayed the return to zero, then the time difference would be useless.
So he persuaded the Devil Merchant to cooperate with him by asking the Devil Merchant to conceal his vitality, disguise him as a dead person, and take him down to the underground palace. In exchange for sweet water, he persuaded the Devil Merchant to cooperate with him.
"As long as I go down with you, will the task of finding Tianshui be considered completed?"
Before taking the red pill, the devil businessman confirmed it again.
"Take me to the underground palace and then come out of the underground palace."
Wei Xun said, he raised his hand and a thermos cup appeared out of thin air in his palm.
"This is the sweet water of Yuquan Mountain."
Wei Xun said casually: "Furthermore, I signed a soul contract with you, and you still don't believe me?"
This is why the Devil Merchant agreed to work with him to get rid of the passengers and join forces in advance this time!
Get rid of the passengers and determine the winner of the confrontation mission in advance? This is meaningless to Wei Xun, unless he is prepared to kill the devil merchant - as long as the devil merchant does not die, they are still on the same journey, even if he temporarily snatches the other half of the pendant and combines the pendant into one, the confrontation mission will be over. It's not the end.
The hotel always settles the bill at the end of the journey, which is what the dream chaser warned him before (of course, the dream chaser's underlying meaning is that killing the devil businessman is the safest)
"If I am your ally, then I will definitely trust you."
The devil businessman said no more and just swallowed the red pill. He was unlucky. This red pill was an instant death pill. The devil businessman's death countdown immediately returned to zero, and he was transformed in an instant. But at the same time, scarlet mental pollution spurted out from his body, covering his body.
Zero alienation is extremely dangerous, and the tour guide is more likely to lose all reason than to remain calm. But the Devil Merchant still retains the 'satisfactory' gift from Mr. Skinner in his body. These mental pollutions have temporarily replaced the ghost transformation, and at the same time, he still has his sanity!
"Hurry...come..."
The Devil Merchant was like a huge scarlet monster at the moment, breathing heavily and struggling to speak, his voice was hoarse, mixed with several irrepressible, monster-like hisses. A blue-gray ghost was thrown out by him and covered Wei Xun. The feeling of being enveloped by ghosts was not very good, and the devil merchant's actions were a bit rough, but Wei Xun's expression remained calm.
The ghost completely cut off all vitality from him, making Wei Xun look like a pure dead person. The next second, the two of them passed through the Minglou and headed to the underground palace without any obstruction, which further confirmed Wei Xun's guess!
The Fifteenth Emperor was talking about a 'death test', not a 'life and death test', and the setting of these two red pills was obviously aimed at 'living people' and their passengers.
Wei Xun suspected that these two red pills were instant death medicines. Regardless of luck, you would die if you took them. So he brought over the devil merchant, who was an expert at pretending to die.
The two 'dead men' walked towards the top of the treasure as quickly as possible, but in the next second——
[Tour guide B250 has left the team for fifteen minutes, all wages for this trip will be deducted! 】
[Tour guide B125 has left the team for fifteen minutes, all wages for this trip will be deducted! 】
The imperial mausoleum is very large, from the entrance of the mausoleum to the bright tower and then to the top of the treasure. There are also the effects of the spiritual pollution of the dead in the tombstones and the red pill test. Fifteen minutes are fleeting!
【Yellow card warning! 】
Yellow patches appeared on the tour guide brooches of Wei Xun and the Devil Merchant, and the butterfly-shaped brooch turned into a bright and warning yellow! This yellow spot is extremely dazzling, and it is even more attractive to certain negative and terrifying existences!
[Guide C250, your tour guide ability will be sealed. Repeat, your tour guide ability will be sealed! 】
[Please return to the brigade immediately, otherwise your tour guide ability will be completely sealed. Countdown, 10, 9, 8——】
"Damn, shit!"
The scarlet mental pollution on the devil merchant's body dissipated, and he cursed. He didn't expect the hotel to be so fucked up! They were not given any time to react at all! The seal of the tour guide's ability means that they can no longer be alienated and can no longer use Zero! In this way, let alone sneaking into the underground palace, they would be completely unable to conceal the aura of a living person.
Originally, they were equivalent to passing Benimaru's test. If they were exposed and could no longer use the power of any brigade, the consequences would be disastrous!
The most disgusting thing is that after a quarter of an hour, there is only a ten-second countdown. In ten seconds, how could it be possible to find the passenger and return to the brigade?
"Let's get out of here right away!"
The devil merchant made a decisive decision to leave. The two people who had lost their strength could no longer stay in the Qingling Mausoleum. However, the next second, his hand was grabbed by Xiao Cui.
"Continue to go."
Xiaocui's voice was hoarse and low, which was subtly different from her previous voice. However, at the critical moment, the devil businessman had no time to identify. Going forward, is Xiaocui crazy? Without strength and unable to transform, how could they possibly survive with their already weak bodies!
"reason."
The devil businessman said urgently. At the same time, he gritted his teeth and no longer hesitated. He actually continued to move forward as Xiao Cui said! At the same time, the devil businessman is nervous and always pays attention to the countdown of the hotel...wait!
The countdown in the hotel unexpectedly stopped! Why, it’s obvious that they didn’t return to the team, and there wasn’t even a single passenger around them——
"carried me."
Wei Xun fell directly onto the Devil Merchant's back and was subconsciously picked up by him. The broken tour guide mask almost fell off just now, and Wei Xun held onto the mask with his hands.
At the moment when the countdown almost reached zero, he used the title of 'Passenger'!
This stuck the hotel's calculations!
