Chapter 72: Dream Soul Demon Lost Soul People

With the magical power of opening the wall, Song Wuji did not go back quickly.

After eating some food to restore his mana, he started trying again. After all, the time was too short and the channel was closed before he could react, so he had wasted the opportunity.

I just couldn't find the right place for the time being.

The magical power can open the wall and break the barrier. In theory, it can be used to find the secret realm.

So Song Wuji came to an uninhabited village near Baliting.

This village was also plagued by demonic disasters. Demons attacked the village's land temple and ancestral hall, and all the villagers died... The whole village became a demonic hell.

After the tiger demons gathered together, a large number of demons went to join them, and the village became empty.

But there was still a dark cloud covering the place. The inspectors from the six departments of the City God had visited various villages, but they only dared to look from afar and did not dare to enter rashly.

If the demon wants to achieve the ninth rank, it has to slaughter the village, or at least break into the land temple or ancestral hall... Then the ancestral hall or land temple is most likely related to the secret realm.

Another place is near the source of the birth of demons, such as Songjia Village, which is backed by Wild Boar Hill.

Sunjia Village is backed by Xishan Mountain, which is also known as "Tiger Mountain", although the last time a tiger appeared was more than 40 years ago.

The secret place of the rat demon that has been discovered so far is in the threshing ground. The threshing ground is the place where rats are most likely to appear, which is consistent with the poem "Book of Songs" and the mention of rats.

There seems to be some local rural anecdotes involved.

Of course, now these disaster victims are either dead or alive, and the remaining ones who have escaped death may not understand what is going on.

To be honest, Song Wuji didn't see any debris or blood in this village, and even the placement of many things seemed to have a sense of life.

But, upon closer inspection, there is something weird everywhere. On the half-open door, there is a bloody handprint, which just covers the eyes of the door god.

On the thin window paper, a piece of white talisman paper can be vaguely seen.

Above the well at the entrance of the village, a wooden barrel was hung from a blackened hemp rope, and the algae in the barrel seemed to have turned into a woman's hair.

When Song Wuji saw this, he thought to himself: All the monsters I encountered before were demons with flesh and blood. Even the minions had a layer of flesh and skin. The scene here seems like a horror movie.

The layout of this village reminded Song Wuji of the old corpse in the countryside from his childhood, the dilapidated old village, and the sudden appearance of ghosts...

But if it really is a ghost, Song Wuji is not afraid at all, because the fire-inducing technique is the best way to restrain these ghosts. What he is afraid of is that it is not a ghost or a monster, but an "evil god".

Although he always felt creepy, as if something was staring at him, after turning around, Song Wuji did not see any names of monsters or demons revealed.

However, they soon found the land temple under a dead camphor tree. The incense was broken and the land statue in the temple only had the body left, without the head.

It seems that the land god has been killed.

Touching his hand on the wall of the land temple, Song Wuji activated his magical power: "Open!"

Suddenly, most of his magic power was exhausted, and the passage opened up, with only one person able to enter. Song Wuji quickly jumped in to avoid being left behind.

After entering the passage, just one step away, Song Wuji appeared in an unknown place.

The sky here is hazy, the earth is hazy, and everything is chaotic.

As soon as Song Wuji came in, he was enveloped by a sense of malice.

Looking up, I could vaguely see a face in the dark clouds high above.

[Dream Soul Demon]

What is this for me? Is this a secret realm?
Before he could react, he heard a sound of "Hachi~Hachi~" and saw the villagers, who looked like zombies, with their eyes rolled up, mouths wide open and drooling, rushing towards him.

[Lost Soul People]

Among the soul-lost people, there were black clouds with strange shapes.

[Nightmare]
Song Wuji used the fire-starting technique, and the nightmare was immediately afraid to move forward, but the soul-lost people were not afraid and still rushed forward like zombies.

As the name suggests, the soulless people are living dead who have lost their souls and only have their spirits left.

Precisely because he cared about whether they were alive or dead, Song Wuji did not want to kill them violently. He just used the spirit cat's body skills in the cat fist to shuttle through the soulless people and punched the nightmare covered with black fog.

After this punch, the black energy did not retreat but advanced, drilling into all nine orifices and seven holes.

Faintly, one could hear some whispers, like a woman crying, or children laughing, and it seemed as if an old man was dying.

"I can't sleep...I can't sleep! It's in my dreams!"

Song Wuji felt suffocated, but he still used the Kitchen God's mental method to eliminate the influence of the illusion. The stove fire penetrated his body and the black air dissipated.

Those soul-lost people had already rushed in front of him, and the nightmare turned into chains, wrapping around Song Wuji.

[Soul Capture]
Song Wuji checked his own condition. The divine attributes of the Three Treasures were being stolen by these nightmares. If they were stolen completely, he would become a soulless people like those villagers.

Song Wuji concentrated his will and shouted loudly: "Nightmare!"

The ball of black gas suddenly froze, and then a talisman paper flew over and turned into a stove fire in the fire-starting technique.

The light brought by the flames allowed the nightmare to dispel a lot of black air and reveal its true face.

It is a Nuo mask. Looking closely, this Nuo mask is quite vivid, as if the skin of something has been peeled off.

Song Wuji used the "Tiger Roaring in the Mountains" move from his Tiger Fist. This move was to use his masculine energy and roar loudly, which had the effect of intimidating people. If the skill was mastered, it would be as powerful as the "Lion Roar" and could pierce a person's eardrum and cause bleeding from all seven orifices.

With a tiger roar, a tiger image appeared behind Song Wuji.

This tiger appearance is unlike any other, it is exactly what one experiences in the tiger demon illusion.

It turns out that this secret place is a place of illusion and dream, which can invade people's souls, but can also be countered by those with strong will.

With a tiger's roar, those soul-deprived people stopped on the ground, no longer controlled by the black energy.

Song Wuji seized the opportunity to catch the nightmare transformed by the Nuo mask. As the flames burned, the nightmare began to speak: "All the evil spirits in the sky will return to the sky, and all the evil spirits on the earth will return to hide underground. The sky will be shocked, the earth will be shocked, people will be shocked, beasts will be shocked, gods will be shocked, demons will be shocked, and all the noises in the sky and on the ground will be shocked. The frightened souls will quickly return to their bodies!"

Song Wuji only felt an inexplicable fear in his heart, as if he was suddenly frightened by something.

Yu returned to his infancy and cried incessantly at night, so the family invited a witch doctor. The witch doctor wore a Nuo mask, danced and sang spells.

But the stove fire burned away the black air, the nightmare was killed, and only this piece of facial skin remained.

[Nuo noodles. Social public]

Nuo masks originated from Nuo opera and have been passed down since ancient times. They are a ritual to exorcise evil spirits and drive away ghosts. Each Nuo mask represents a type of deity.

Shegong, the land god, is the local protective deity.

Song Wuji touched the Nuo mask and felt that the Nuo mask had lost the spirit of the gods and was occupied by an evil creature.
