Survival [End Times]

434, Endless Train 38

When the ghost power returned, it generated a strong momentum, causing serious turbulent movement in space. The bus was rolled up and rotated randomly. Several Taoist priests used their last mana to calculate the direction of the exit, and just rushed out without changing direction in the turbulent flow.

The moment they rushed out of the ghostly jungle, everyone was already in a state of confusion. The bus turned over more than ten times in the air before it stabilized and landed smoothly in the hands of experienced armed police.

On this trip, half of the wind-borrowing talisman of the storage ring was burned, which shows how powerful the ghost power was when it returned, almost causing a car crash and death.

Yu Heng stood up holding the chair and looked back, and saw that the entrance of the ghost was shrinking sharply. When the bus drove further, the entrance had shrunk to the size of a person. After a while, the vortex became smaller, and finally Completely disappeared.

The ghost is closed.

The sky finally lit up, and Yu Heng felt the long-lost sunshine falling on his body, dispelling the cool and cold air from his body. Looking at the surrounding environment, the buildings and streets that have been soaked in the evil for more than a year all look dilapidated and dilapidated after hundreds of years.

Everyone didn't know what the situation of the other teams was like. After coming out, they immediately contacted Zou Chengguang and others, and then returned to Qingsui Mountain without stopping.

While on the road, Taoist Master Xunchuan received responses from other people one after another. A total of 147 people were sent out from Qingsui Mountain, with 21 groups of seven people, two groups from Fancheng, and others either alone or in groups. Two or three groups form a group, depending on the difficulty of the assigned ghosts. Qingsui Mountain was responsible for a total of nine ghosts. Xunchuan received four responses, all saying that the mission was successfully completed.

However, everyone's heart was still heavy, for no other reason than Zou Chengguang's group and the other three groups, but there was no response. Zou Ling languished in his chair, looking at the peach wood sword in his hand in ecstasy.

Recuperating all the way, they soon arrived at Qingxi Town. On the way, they received another reply. A certain team that failed the mission narrowly escaped from the ghosts and lost half of its manpower.

Returning to Qingsui Mountain, Yu Heng coaxed Zhang Zhizhi with a few words and couldn't help but fall into a deep sleep. After all, the soul had left the body, and the injuries were so severe that the body really couldn't bear it. I slept so hard that I forgot about time. When I woke up, I heard Zhang Zhizhi say: "Dad, you've been sleeping for eleven days! Aren't you hungry?"

Why aren't you hungry? Yu Heng was so hungry that he restrained himself and drank two bowls of porridge first. When he went out, he saw that the weather was much better than before he fell asleep. He could see the sun was bright and the sun was very warm on his body. I think if I do a few more rituals, the remaining Yin Qi in the world can be completely eliminated.

After dinner, he took a walk to find Zou Ling. Zou Ling was wandering around the room like a trapped animal. He hadn't seen him for more than ten days. The young man had sunken eye sockets and black eyes. It looked like he hadn't slept well for a long time.

"Is there no news yet from Master Zou?"

"No, no!"

Yu Heng remembered that Master Zou went to Shuyang City, which has always been a place with extremely high levels of evil spirits. The scope of the ghost ghosts' expansion was also very large. It was foreseeable that there would be many dangers in the ghost ghosts, and the ghost king inside would be difficult to deal with. The murder of Zou Chengguang and the others was actually not unexpected. In fact, without Gu Minglei's help, it would be difficult for this group of people to leave alive, let alone complete the mission.

He could only comfort Zou Ling with a few blank words, and then went to find Xunchuan. Xunchuan was too busy, but he still took the time to tell him the current situation.

"I know you are worried about the condition of the seal. Take it and read it. It records the news I got. You just woke up, so you should get more rest. When you are free, stay with Junior Brother Zou. He is in a very bad mood now. ,well."

Yu Heng quickly looked through the notebook and had a rough idea. This time on the National Day promise, only 70% kept the promise and completed the seal, and the remaining 30% failed. Among the defeated troops, less than half escaped, and currently Zou Chengguang and the others are among the missing half.

Without a miracle, those people... would not have been able to get out.

After that, the performance meeting was held on time, and Yu Heng also received some awards. After his body recovered, he obeyed the arrangements and went down the mountain to perform tasks. Half a year later, the entire land was cleared, and the residents of various shelters returned to their homes. Yu Heng is also preparing to take Zhang Zhizhi home.

Before going back, he said goodbye to Xunchuan and Zou Ling, and they held a farewell banquet. At the wine table, under the influence of alcohol, Xun Chuan revealed a secret he had been hiding. The secret was related to Master Zou, Zhuang Yi and Liu Hanjun, which made him unable to let go.

"I found an encrypted file and studied it for three months before opening it." After Master Zou disappeared and Zou Ling refused to take over as master, this new generation of masters finally left the Zou family, and Taoist priest Xunchuan became the new master. doorman.

According to his intermittent telling, Yu Heng knew the whole story. To put it simply, after Xunchuan took over as the leader, he also took over a series of things in the teaching, and inherited all the information left by the previous leader, including that of Master Zou. He found an encrypted file in the leader's exclusive office. It's just that he didn't have the guidance of his predecessor in taking over, and many things were a bit unclear. It took him several months to slowly figure it out and get started, including finally opening some encrypted archive files and unlocking the encryption runes in them.

It was in that file encrypted with many runes that he learned about the results of the treatment of Liu Hanjun and Zhuang Yi. There were many loopholes in the experience of these two siblings. Xunchuan tracked them responsibly afterwards, but Zou Chengguang kept a very secretive attitude at the time. No one knew how the matter was resolved. Where are Liu Hanjun and Zhuang Yi? There is no way to know.

Xunchuan has been thinking about this matter in his heart, so he hurried to read the file after seeing it. The answer he got made him feel confused, and he didn't know who to talk to.

The top-secret information recorded in the file is likely to put Qingsui Mountain into an irreversible situation.

It turns out that Zou Chengguang has been secretly doing an experiment for many years. His heart is far more radical and unrestrained than his mature and steady appearance. He has an idea, why can the soul only passively accept the guidance of the power of heaven and earth, and can't the Taoism continue to take over the soul after the death of the person?

If this guiding power can be controlled by the Taoist sect, then every soul and every spirit will be registered, and there will be records of comings and goings. There will no longer be a phenomenon where the soul cannot be pulled and stays in the human world due to loopholes in the rules, forming various evil ghosts, and there will be no mysterious magnetic field formed because of too many evil ghosts, breeding endless ghosts.

It is so refreshing to eliminate future troubles!

I have to say that Zou Chengguang's idea is really good! Yu Heng couldn't help but admire Zou Chengguang's thoughts when he heard the beginning. It was really bold.

Xunchuan continued to talk, and Yu Heng understood why Xunchuan felt so heavy after knowing this secret. Zou Chengguang not only has far-sighted thoughts, but also has frighteningly bold actions. In order to test his ideas, he did an experiment: split the souls of living people, manipulate them to explore the laws of the rules of heaven and earth, and try to control this power from the inside.

Such a heretical and unethical practice makes people shudder.

"Many, many..." Xunchuan said in a trembling voice: "He did a lot of experiments, Liu Hanjun is... and himself, but after the ghost cave appeared in the world, those experimental subjects went out of control."

Zou Ling shuddered.

Zou Chengguang not only split the souls of others, but also split his own. Especially his own, he also used the discarded heart after the heart transplant surgery to make a puppet container. The puppet led other split souls to search for the ghost cave for many years, but all lost control after the ghost cave appeared in the world. Zou Chengguang wrote his anger and dissatisfaction in the file in a frantic handwriting, until many pages later he wrote:

They are coming.

That day was the day when Zou Chengguang led people to collect the bodies of his daughter Zou Ning and other disciples.

"I won't let that bitch Liu Hanjun go, wait until I find that secret..."

Then a few pages later, it talked about Zhuang Yi: "He is so hateful, he dared to kill my son for revenge for his sister? Ha, can Liu Hanjun's life be compared with my son? It doesn't matter, wait until I find that secret, both brothers and sisters will be buried with me, An Ning!"

The file stopped abruptly, but the news revealed in it was shocking enough.

"Master Zou didn't come out of the ghost cave. I guess, guess, it must be related to his experiments." Xunchuan's thinking was finally slowed down by alcohol and he couldn't speak. He fell asleep on the table, leaving Yu Heng and Zou Ling, who was shocked beyond words, staring at each other.

The next day, Taoist Xunchuan, who was stopped by Zou Ling to ask for details, refused to admit what he said yesterday. Yu Heng drove away from Qingsui Mountain according to the scheduled itinerary. He went back with Zhao Ya and her brother from the same Tan Township. Zhao Ya's parents died in the previous attack by the ghost king, and only the two siblings were left in the family.

After returning to Tan Township, Yu Heng was busy renovating the house, and life gradually got back on track. Electricity, telecommunications, network, transportation, etc. all returned to normal, production resumed, and the market was open again. Two years later, society had initially returned to the level before the end of the world. Five years later, those fears and sorrows also faded away in the regular production, life and study process. The population lost in those years eventually became a lonely tombstone, gradually disappearing in the memory of time.

After returning to Tan Township, Yu Heng did not look for a job. The salary and bonus converted from the work tasks completed in Qingsui Mountain in the past few years were enough for him to raise Zhang Zhizhi. The country is very generous in this regard. He and Xunchuan successfully completed the task in the Fancheng ghost den, and the reward was very generous. In addition, Zhang Zhizhi's schooling was free until he graduated from high school.

Over the years, he has been studying the ghost den. The ghost den has shrunk to an unknown area, but those ghost dens that failed to seal the ghost den core are invisible after all. Five hundred years ago, it was said that all of them were sealed successfully. What about this time? I don’t know if there will be another five hundred years of safe and stable period.

The branch mission that Yu Heng took has not yet ended. He has not given up this mission and has been thinking about it in his heart. He has reached a bottleneck in his cultivation, which also means that his strength is enough for him to start "experiments".

Yu Heng's idea is somewhat similar to Zou Chengguang's idea back then, but he did not plan to split his soul to be an undercover agent, which was too risky. His idea fell on the sealed ghost den core brought out of the ghost den.

Those sealed boxes are said to have all been transported to Kyoto and pressed under the large square in front of the parliament building. Under the influence of time, those gears will be melted in the world of the living. Yu Heng guessed that it was probably absorbed by the rules of heaven and earth in this world. According to his understanding, Zou Chengguang had such great ambitions, it is impossible that he had not thought about breaking those seals. Why didn't Zou Chengguang do that? Or had he already tried it?

He planned to go to Qingsui Mountain again to find Xunchuan and ask him for the file.

Yu Heng had been in contact with Qingsui Mountain for many years. Zhang Zhizhi was very interested in Taoism, so he would take her to Qingsui Mountain every summer. The cultivation environment on the mountain was indeed much better, just like a summer camp.

When he went to Qingsui Mountain again, Zou Ling had just returned from summer vacation. He would graduate from college next year. He looked silent and steady, and brought a gift to Zhang Zhizhi. When Zhang Zhizhi started to practice with the disciples on the mountain, Yu Heng went to find Xunchuan. Out of trust in Yu Heng, Xunchuan asked the reason and gave him the file.

"Tell me whatever you think, and don't try it yourself. If Xiao Ling wants to see this file, you can give it to him. He's grown up now."

Yu Heng carefully read the file left by Zou Chengguang. It was a thick file that recorded Zou Chengguang's ten years of experiments. The handwriting showed the changes in a person's mentality. Zou Chengguang had indeed become "obsessed". It was a pity that his records were only in Zhuang Yi's hands. It was unknown what other plans he had mixed in during the sealing process.

"Liu Hanjun and Zhuang Yi have been missing for a long time. There is no record of other experimental names in the file, and I have no way to check. What are your plans?"

Yu Heng closed the file, looked at the worried look of Taoist Xunchuan, and smiled comfortingly: "Don't worry."

Xunchuan sighed: "How can I not worry? I am also afraid that you will go astray. Master Zou is my master's junior brother. I grew up under him since I was a child. I know what kind of person he is. But you also saw what he is like in this file? I am a little scared, afraid that you will become paranoid too."

After writing down all the contents in the file, Yu Heng asked Xunchuan to look for other information in the things left by Zou Chengguang.

"I'll look through it again and notify you if there is any news."
