Day and night tour

Chapter 126 Obsession "No Eyes"

Zhou Xuan saw a "person".

If we say he is a "human", it is because he has the general shape of a human, with two hands, two feet, a head, a nose and eyes.

But Zhou Xuan had never seen such a strange person - on his face, the two eyeballs were of unusual size, and the nose seemed to have three sections, with each section of a different width. It was narrow at first, then suddenly became very wide, and then became extremely narrow.

The left ear is as big as a palm-leaf fan, while the right ear is only the size of a thumb.

Not only the facial features, but also the skin is strange. If the face is divided into more than a dozen parts, each part of this face has its own style.

What does it look like overall? Take a piece from the faces of dozens of people, and then put them together to form the face of this "person".

This man found that Zhou Xuan was paying attention to him, and he immediately grinned. It was obviously a happy smile, but it was an extremely horrifying smile, because when his face moved, dozens of holes appeared on his discordant face out of thin air.

"To redress my grievances."

This "person" opened and closed his mouth and spoke, but Zhou Xuan could not hear any sound. He could only judge what he was saying based on the shape of his mouth.

Fortunately, what this person said was not complicated, and his lips moved widely, so it was not difficult to guess what he said.

I know about redressing my grievances, but how do I do it?
At least if you have any grievances to complain about, you should make it clear where the grievances are.
You just keep smacking your lips like a mute, and it's impossible to communicate deeply with me. I don't know where to start if I want to help you apply.

Zhou Xuan's mind moved, and the "person" seemed to understand. He knelt on his knees and kowtowed, really treating Zhou Xuan as a great judge who had cleared a wrongful conviction.

Zhou Xuan looked down and immediately discovered the true appearance of this "person".

When he kowtowed, he was alone, but when his head hit the ground, a group of people walked out of his body.

This group of people knelt down in front of Zhou Xuan, one row after another, filling the small corridor.

"At least thirty people up."

Zhou Xuan made a rough estimate.

There are many people in this group, including men, women, young and old, spanning many age groups.
The quality of their clothes is also different. For example, some people wear Instan suits.

Zhou Xuan had seen this suit in a department store in Pingshui. It cost more than 600 Jingguo banknotes.

Even in the more economically developed Mingjiang Prefecture, only wealthy families could afford to wear it.

But some of them were wearing floral skirts that were not well tailored. It was obvious that they had bought the fabric from a cloth shop and had it made by a tailor with not very fine skills.

This type of clothing making method is the mainstream, at least in Pingshui Prefecture. Its advantage is that the price is cheap enough, and the cost is only higher than buying the cloth and sewing it yourself.

It is equivalent to saying,
Among this group of people, the age and class span is very wide, and their circumstances, experiences, and lives should be very different. Why would they collectively seek justice from Zhou Xuan?

Until they finished bowing their heads, straightened their backs, and looked up at Zhou Xuan devoutly.
Then he realized that all of them had one thing in common: they were missing eyes.

Some people are missing one eye, some are missing both, and their eye sockets are empty.

If there were only one or two empty eye sockets, it would be fine, but there were too many of them. Zhou Xuan looked around and saw the densely packed empty eye sockets, which immediately gave him a physical resistance.

Then physiological reactions such as nausea and discomfort appear one after another.

Zhou Xuan felt from the bottom of his heart that this kind of reaction was very rude, especially when facing such a group of disabled people.
But physiological reactions are not determined by one's own subjective consciousness.

This reaction does not represent Zhou Xuan's state of mind or emotions at the moment, it is simply a reaction of physical conditions.

Until this group of people became one person again - about thirty people, taking the person in the front as the benchmark, walked into the body of the person in the front in order.

The thirty people combined into that extremely strange person, and Zhou Xuan's physiological reaction subsided and gradually disappeared.

“No wonder this person looks so strange, it turns out he is made up of thirty or so people without eyes.

What are they? Ghosts, spirits, or...?

Zhou Xuan thought seriously.

At this moment, Lv Mingkun asked Zhou Xuan a strange question: "Little Junior Brother, what are you looking at?"

Uh, being able to raise this question...means that Lu Mingkun can't see anything and can't sense anything.

Although Lv Mingkun is not as good as Zhou Xuan in terms of sensitivity, he is a "corpse whisperer" and has a special sensitivity to corpses. He should also be very sensitive to wandering spirits and evil spirits.

He can't see.

This means that the "person" in front of Zhou Xuan is not a wandering soul, nor a fierce ghost...

“I also saw it by touching the Book of Cleansing Wrongs.” When Zhou Xuan thought of this, he associated it with a very special existence - obsession!
Zhou Xuan used to think that after a person dies, there are only two kinds of existence - corpse and wandering soul!
If a corpse is exposed to the "blood of a living person" and kept in a "yin evil place", it can become a zombie.

If a wandering soul has an obsession, it will turn into a violent and evil ghost that harms people.

But after telling Yuan Buyu and Zhou Lingyi about the "Lantern Bride" incident last time, he learned from Yuan Buyu that obsession can exist alone.

Obsession is a strong thought, a kind of thought that is ethereal between heaven and earth, like an antelope hanging its horns, leaving no trace. It is different from a physical soul or corpse, so it is extremely difficult to be seen.

For example, the Lantern Bride, she is obsessed, and it is a very strong obsession.

The lanterns of the Wandering Soul Division could not see her, Zhou Lingyi and Yuan Buyu, who were at a very high level of incense, and could not sense her either.

Even when she walked in front of Zhou Xuan, with the super-strong perception of the Blood Well Spiritual Communication, she was unable to sense anything.

Only the ancestral tree could sense it.

"It turns out that this... this group of people seeking justice are obsessed with it.
If I touch the Wrath-Clearing Scroll, can I see my obsession?!"

Zhou Xuan wasn't sure what quantifier to use to describe the "person" in front of him, but he was certain that he was obsession.

After figuring this out, many of his doubts were resolved.

For example, why can these thirty or so people be combined into one person?

In essence, they all have the same thought - they have lost their eyes, and perhaps their lives at the same time, and suffered an unexpected death.

In order to let the people who caused their violent deaths to live freely, their obsessions gathered together, and they found Zhou Xuan, who had the Book of Clearing Wrongs, to help them clear their wrongs... well... maybe to be more direct, they could help them avenge themselves.

For example, there should be many walking "obsessions" in the hospital, those who died because they could not afford the high cost of treatment.
Those who died despite doctors' 100% efforts and still failed to treat them.
They should have obsessions after death, so why couldn't Zhou Xuan see them even with the Cleansing Wrongs Sutra?

Zhou Xuan closed his eyes and was deep in thought, not even bothering to respond to Lu Mingkun's question.

"I can see the obsession of more than 30 people combined, but... I can't see the obsession of a single person..."

He slowly combined all the strange situations in his mind and explored them slowly. The fragments of the problem were combined piece by piece in Zhou Xuan's mind.
Finally, it condensed into a key to open the "answer box", and an idea that shocked Zhou Xuan also came into being -

——Obsession is not the thought of one person, but the thought of a group of people. Because of some strong emotions, they come together and become obsession.

From a certain point of view,
Obsession is not the thought of a certain person, but the thought trend of a group of people!

This answer is obviously one step closer to Yuan Buyu's statement, but Zhou Xuan believes that this answer is also closer to the truth.

"The Book of Cleansing Wrongs should help me gain a deeper understanding of obsessions."

The people of Jingguo obviously do not have a deep understanding of obsession, but obsession contains powerful power.
The appearance of the Lantern Bride can even awaken the dormant ancestral tree.

Zhou Xuan didn't know how powerful the ancestral tree was, but from Zhou Lingyi's attitude towards the ancestral tree, it was clear that the power of the ancestral tree when it was awake was definitely extraordinary.

"I remembered……"

Zhou Xuan recalled the moment when the Lantern Bride entered his secret realm. In addition to hearing the bride's sincere and strange laughter, he also heard the voices of many people celebrating the wedding.

There were sounds of drinking, finger-guessing games, suona music, and even the master of ceremonies blessing the wedding.

He always thought that the bride with lantern in the secret realm was just the bride with the weird smile!

Now look...all the noises he heard were parts of the Lantern Bride's body!

"The Lantern Bride may be an obsession of more than a dozen people, or it may be composed of dozens of people, or even..."

Zhou Xuan was slightly excited. This excitement was because he realized that he had discovered the source of some mysterious power in Jing Country, and more importantly, he had a further understanding of the origin of the Lantern Bride.

Judging from the experience of the first incense stick, his promotion ceremony has a lot to do with solving the mystery of the paper man boatman's life experience in the secret realm.

He saw through the boatman and realized that he was actually his own subconscious, and that it was a subconscious that had developed intelligence. He then used a bone pole to pierce it and successfully advanced.

The road to Sanzhuxiang is much smoother.

"It's a bit mysterious. It seems that this injustice must be redressed..."

Zhou Xuan said secretly in his heart.

People like him really don't have much interest in helping others to redress grievances. Who living in this world doesn't have a few grievances in their heart?

Help others to redress their grievances, but who will help me to redress my grievances?
but now,
"I am a righteous man who seeks justice for others! Nothing else, I just don't like anyone who has been wronged!"

Zhou Xuan made the decision to "vindicate" himself. The "person" in front of him already knew his intentions. After bowing three times with extreme piety, he stood up and walked forward...

"Are they taking me to a place to clear my name?"

Zhou Xuan certainly didn't think that this "person" would just walk away and leave the matter of clearing his name to him alone.

At this moment, the talisman for cleansing injustices in his arms vibrated particularly violently, and a "rustling~rustling~rustling" sound of writing was heard, exactly the same as the white noise he had heard before.

Zhou Xuan immediately took out the talisman for clearing injustice.

When the Cleansing Wrongs Talisman was still in the form of a "diary", Zhou Lingyi and Yuan Buyu could not see it.

If they can't see it with their level of incense, then the people of the Tattoo Ancient Clan will certainly not be able to see it either.

Zhou Xuan was naturally not afraid that Link would see this "secret", but he had to cover it up with his actions so as not to give the Ancient Clan Link the feeling that he was reading a "diary".

Thinking of this, he put one hand behind his back and placed the Wrong-Cleansing Scroll on his palm with the other hand, turning the pages by "feeling", as if he was reading his palm...
