When Immortals Become Metaphysical Idols

Hu Hongwen was stunned when he heard the words, "That's not what the Feng Shui master said back then."

"He told me at the time that the five elements in the north belong to water, and the east belongs to wood, and the toilet built in the northeast where water and wood grow together is auspicious."

"..."

Jin Ye said silently: "I'm afraid you were deceived by him. It's not auspicious to build a filthy place like a toilet, at best it can only be called safe."

Hearing that Hu Hongwen's expression changed drastically, if it weren't for so many people watching, and supported by a good rest, he might have been unable to bear the swearing.

Jin Ye ignored Hu Hongwen's complicated emotions, there was one more thing he didn't want to understand.Even though the door of the bathroom is on the ghost line, it won't be such a scary scene as in the surveillance.That female employee, Guo Lei, was obviously dragged away by something.

Thinking about it, Jin Ye couldn't help but fell into deep thought.Ordinary spirits rarely touch humans, unless it is a ghost with strong resentment and obsession.

However, he didn't feel the evil spirit of the ghost here just now, except for a faint yin energy unique to the underground floor.What exactly is going on?

While angry, Hu Hongwen quickly recovered his composure.He immediately asked: "Excuse me, Master Li, can you find a way to retrieve these missing persons?"

Now the family members of the missing person are asking him for someone one by one. If they can't find them and solve the case, I'm afraid he won't be able to open this shopping mall!

Jin Ye thought for a while and said, "I'll try, but I can't guarantee that they are all alive."

After all, it has been more than a month since the first missing person appeared. Even if that person was not harmed by these spirit bodies, he would not be able to survive if he did not eat or drink for more than a month.

This matter has been dragged on for so long, and Hu Hongwen's expectations for the missing person's survival are getting lower and lower.He just wanted to end this matter quickly, and didn't think much about anything else.Hearing what Jin Ye said, he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Then trouble Master Li."

Because of the particularity of this matter, the investigation can only be postponed until night.Therefore, during the day, Jinye wandered around the shopping mall, ate, drank and had fun, and also watched a movie by the way.

Of course, all these expenses were recorded in Hu Hongwen's account. After all, he is now asking for Master Li, so of course he has to make the master happy.

Finally, when night fell and the mall closed, a group of people officially started working.

It was the first time that Hu Hongwen entered the mall late at night, and Hu Hongwen always felt nervous.Because of those missing cases, and the horrific surveillance video of the female employee being dragged away by unknown forces, coupled with the pitch-black environment in front of him, he couldn't help but get goosebumps.And his secretary Wang Qi was even more so, out of fear of unknown forces, he followed closely behind Master Li.

Seeing this, Hu Hongwen hastily imitated him and approached Jin Ye and Lu Ming.After all, under such circumstances, it is definitely the safest to stay with an expert.

Jin Ye looked at the trembling Hu Hongwen and his secretary Wang Qi, and said silently, "Boss Hu, you don't have to follow."

Hearing this sentence, Hu Hongwen breathed a sigh of relief.He didn't really want to go on.At present, I don't know the situation below, so it's best not to go down.

Out of politeness, he asked again: "Do you need to call the security guards from the shopping mall?" Like him and Wang Qi who both sit in the office all the year round, they can't lift their shoulders or lift their hands. There are reliable people who can get started.

"No need." Jin Ye flatly refused.

Although I knew that Boss Hu had good intentions, even calling a few security guards would not be of much help.

He had seen a cartoon before, and there was a line in it that he still remembers—use magic to defeat magic.

Similarly, the culprits of the accident are obviously not human beings, so if you want to deal with them, you have to use the rules of their world.

Moreover, there are too many people and it is troublesome.In case of any danger, these ordinary people with no spiritual power are more likely to be attacked than Lu Ming and the others.At that time, he still has to spend his energy to save people, which is so troublesome.

"Just wait for me upstairs, and Lu Ming will go down with me."

Professional matters are naturally resolved by professionals, and Hu Hongwen naturally has no objection.

With the flashlight on, Jin Ye got off the escalator first, followed by Lu Ming.

Because the mall is closed at this time, the escalator is also out of service.The two had to go downstairs by themselves.

Although it was only one floor away, Lu Ming always felt a little strange.

Although it is winter, the air conditioner in the mall is always on from morning to night, even if the central air conditioner is turned off now, the temperature will not be so cold.

"Friend Daoist Li, what shall we do next?"

Hearing this, Jin Ye raised his eyes to look at him, and then asked him if he was stupid.

"Is there even a question? Of course, saving people first."

"How can I save it? Didn't you say during the day that the gates of the spirit world will only open on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year? But yesterday the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar just passed, so you have to wait another half a month for the next time the gates of the spirit world open?"

"Half a month?"

Hearing that, Jin Ye stopped in his tracks, raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "You really want to save people after waiting for half a month for the day lily to be cold?"

After being teased by Jin Ye, Lu Ming immediately shut his mouth and stopped talking.

Just listen to Jin Ye continuing: "I also said before that the opening of the gate of the spirit world is only one of the reasons for the disappearance of this group of people. Because when the gate of the spirit world is opened, the Yin Qi will increase, and this group of people will be more likely to run into ghosts. But These are not the most important reasons."

As he said that, he held up the flashlight and walked straight to the elevator door on the first floor to have a look, then turned his head to look at the public toilet not far away, squinted his eyes and said, "The most important reason is here."

After Jin Ye briefly explained, he blinked and opened his eyes.Immediately afterwards, the picture in his eyes changed instantly.I saw a huge white whirlpool appearing out of nowhere on the ordinary bathroom door.Just like in fantasy movies and anime, there is a glimmer of light in this dark basement, flickering and fading.

strangeness……

Seeing Jin Ye staring at the toilet door so seriously, Lu Ming was curious for a moment, "Friend Li, what are you looking at?"

Jin Ye looked at Lu Ming suspiciously when he heard this, and frowned, "You can't see anything?"

Lu Ming was stunned, "What should I see?"

Jin Ye fell silent for a moment.Not much nonsense, he raised his hand and wiped it on Lu Ming's eyelids.

"What are you doing?"

"Open your spiritual eyes."

Just touch your eyelids and your eyes will open?Lu Ming wanted to complain when he heard this.

However, in the next second, he swallowed the sentence back into his stomach, widened his eyes and exclaimed——

"I'll go! What is this thing?"

After a moment of shock, his expression gradually became serious, "Is this the so-called ghost gate? The disappearance of the group of people is related to this thing?"

Jin Ye narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm not sure if it's a ghost or not. But the disappearance of those people is almost related to it."

Hearing this, Lu Ming hesitated slightly, "Didn't you still say it was because of the ghost gate during the day?"

"I thought it was a ghost gate at first, but now I'm not so sure when I see this thing."

"What do you mean?"

"If it's a ghost gate, the yin energy here should be heavier than other places. But apart from this vortex, there is nothing particularly abnormal here."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming fell silent.Indeed, whether you come here during the day or tonight, although you can feel a faint yin, it is not beyond the abnormal range.Because the entire underground floor is inherently yin.And there was nothing unusual about this bathroom.If he hadn't watched the surveillance video during the day and listened to Jin Ye's suggestion of ghost line, he really wouldn't have seen any problems here.

"Then this thing is... Fellow Daoist Li, where are you going?"

"Go in and have a look, don't you know?" After speaking, Jin Ye walked straight towards the door of the toilet with his long legs.

Seeing this, Lu Ming hurriedly followed.

Standing still in front of the white vortex, Jin Ye stretched out his hand to test it in the air.Although there is no evil spirit, it can be faintly sensed that there seems to be a spirit body inside.

Lu Ming frowned, "Are you sure you want to go in?"

They didn't even figure out what this thing was, so they rushed in like this. If there was a danger inside, they didn't even have a support target, which was too risky.

"How can I save people if I don't go in?" Jin Ye suddenly turned his head as if he had thought of something when he was about to lift his foot, "If you are afraid, just wait here. In case anything happens, you can call your superiors for help."

Of course, the second half of the sentence was all Jin Ye's kind words, casually.If he, a god who has lived for thousands of years, can't handle the low-level spirits in modern society, if the news spreads, he will lose the face of his ancestors and his master.

"Am I afraid?"

Being despised by Jin Ye made Lu Ming a little unhappy.But even so, he did not forget the importance of teamwork.Just listen to him say: "I'd better go in with you. It's not safe for you to go in alone. If something happens and you don't even have a helper, wouldn't it be bad?"

Jin Ye shrugged his shoulders irrefutably, "Then you have to follow closely."

Disgusted by Jin Ye again, Lu Ming couldn't help biting his molars, "Got it."

The moment Jin Ye stepped into the white vortex, a powerful force of resistance rushed towards the two of them, instantly bouncing them several meters away.

"what's the situation?"

Caught off guard and being bounced away, Lu Ming was a little confused.Tried again, but was still rejected.

Jin Ye's eyes froze, and he stretched his hand into the vortex. A resistance kept pushing his hand away, as if trying to drive him out.

It seems that the other party does not welcome them in.

Realizing this, Jin Ye couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.Those cultivators are not welcome, which shows that the other party may be afraid.

Since the other party is afraid, then they don't have to worry even more.

Thinking about it, Jin Ye raised his hand, drew a talisman towards the vortex void with his spiritual power.

Although he already knew that Li Jinye was superior in strength, when Lu Ming saw Jinye's Void Talisman with his own eyes, he was so shocked that his eyeballs almost fell out.

Not even his master's master could draw a talisman in the void without resorting to any external force.And the elders of other families and sects have never seen anyone who can use this method to draw symbols.How deep is Li Jinye's strength?

While sighing, I heard a loud "bang", and the vortex shook.

Immediately afterwards, under Lu Ming's surprised eyes, cracks began to appear in a nearly transparent membrane in the air.Like shattered glass, it cracked first, and then began to fall piece by piece.

Looking at the strange scene in front of him, Lu Ming murmured, "This broken thing is..."

"It should be something like a protective formation or a protective layer." Jin Ye raised his hand and waved in the vortex as he spoke. Seeing no resistance, he put his hands in his pockets and walked in. Seeing this, Lu Ming hurriedly followed .

At this time, Hu Hongwen and the others who were waiting on the first floor waited for a long time without seeing any movement underground, so they leaned over the fence with a bright flashlight and looked down.With just one glance, several people were terrified.

What about people?

Both masters are gone!

Secretary Wang Qi trembled and whispered, "Mr. Hu, why don't we call the police?"

"Why call the police? Isn't the Mr. Lu who just went down from the relevant department?" Although he was very scared, Hu Hongwen still pretended to be calm: "We have to believe in their strength. Maybe they have a trick. Or Just wait a little longer."

On the other side, Lu Ming, who came out of the vortex, froze slightly after seeing the scene in front of him.

It was as bright as daylight in the shopping mall on the first floor in front of me, the shops were open, and the crowds were coming and going, which was very lively.

Subconsciously, Lu Ming turned around and saw that the passageway he had come from had been completely closed.Now behind them is just an ordinary toilet door.

Out of curiosity, he reached out and touched the door of the public toilet. His tentacles felt the cold temperature, and he could feel the special texture of the wooden door when he touched it carefully.This is no different from the feeling he touched in the bathroom during the day.

If he hadn't experienced what happened just now, he would almost have thought that this was the real world.But memory told him that something was wrong here.

Not to mention that it is already night, but the basement floor is still so bright, even with the lights on, it is impossible for the underground to be the same as in broad daylight.and……

He looked up at the ceiling, but the overhead light in the corridor was not on.

Even stranger are the people here.

Although everyone had a smile on their faces, for some reason, he always felt that the smiles of these people were extraordinarily stiff, as if they were wearing a mask on their faces.

After noticing something was wrong and looking at the scene in front of me again, a strange feeling emerged spontaneously, which made people feel the hairs on their backs.

When the ordinary scenes that I usually see in my daily life suddenly become extremely unusual, this feeling of terrified thinking is much more terrifying than when facing ghosts and demons.

Lu Ming asked in a low voice: "This...isn't the basement of Century Pearl..."

Hearing this, Jin Ye squinted at him, "Isn't this obvious?"

"Then here is..."

"Have you ever heard of a different dimension?" Jin Ye said, with a more serious expression on his face.

"Alien space?" Lu Ming thought for a while, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone: "The one played in the movie?"

"Almost." Jin Ye said as he stepped forward, and Lu Ming followed closely.I heard him continue: "I don't know if you have heard the story of "Painted Wall" in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. When you go through the murals, what you see is another world. And the world in this mural can be described in the words of our modern people. It is a different dimension. And the place we are in now is almost this so-called alien space."

Lu Ming nodded when he heard this, and after a while he felt something was wrong, "But aren't the alien spaces in the legends all different from the real world? I think this is very similar to the real world."

Jin Ye paused, "And who said that different dimensions must be very different from the real world?"

"Alternative spaces are not necessarily very different from the real world. Do you know "Peach Blossom Spring", the residents in Taohuayuan dress exactly the same as the world outside of Taohuayuan, but it is still a different dimension after all."

Lu Ming was a little surprised when he heard that, "Is Taohuayuan also a different dimension?"

Jin Ye: "..."

Your focus seems to be wrong.

Seeing Jin Ye's expressionless face, Lu Ming wisely stopped talking nonsense, and brought the topic back to the source of the question: "So those people entered the alien space by mistake?"

"Some entered by mistake, and some were forcibly inhaled. We have to find them quickly now."

Passing through the crowd, Jin Ye walked straight forward, and Lu Ming hurriedly chased after him.The two looked around as they walked.As if to relieve tension, Lu Ming asked: "Why is there a different dimension here? Is it really because Boss Hu built the toilet on the ghost line?"

Jin Ye shook his head, "This place should not have much to do with the feng shui of this shopping mall. It is very likely that the land itself has problems."

As he said that, Jin Ye's expression was slightly regretful: "If Boss Hu had asked me to look at Feng Shui to choose land, he would not have encountered such troubles. I don't know where he found a Feng Shui master, so unreliable. No. Are you saying that he is the natal family of your boss’s wife? It’s not like that if you just ask someone in the Department of Strange News to ask for a reliable Feng Shui master.”

Lu Ming simply ignored the second half of Jin Ye's sentence, and focused on the first sentence "This land itself has problems".

"So what's wrong with this piece of land?"

Jin Ye asked instead of answering: "Do you know what kind of places are prone to produce different dimensions?"

Lu Ming thought for a while, and said with a hint of uncertainty in his tone, "A place with a lot of yin?"

Jin Ye: "..."

Lu Ming: "A place with a lot of dead people?"

Jin Ye: "..."

The corner of Jin Ye's mouth twitched, "Is there nothing else?"

Lu Ming scratched his head, "I really can't think of it, it must not be a place with plenty of aura."

As soon as the words fell, Jin Ye smiled, "Yes, although it's not all right, but it's half right." He looked at Lu Ming with a hint of "a child can be taught", "Look Come on, you are not a dead wood."

Lu Ming: "...I am not a rotten wood." He is the most outstanding one of his master's disciples.

Hearing this, Jin Ye looked him up and down, then shook his head: "I really didn't see it."

Seeing that Lu Ming was going to blow his hair, Jin Ye changed the topic in a timely manner and continued: "To be precise, the appearance of the alien space is related to spirits. It may not necessarily be spiritual energy, but it may also be spiritual things."

"Spirit?"

"It's something that has spirituality and enlightened intelligence. In layman's terms, it means becoming a spirit."

"Sperm?"

Seeing his startled look, Jin Ye was a little disgusted, "Why are you making such a fuss? It's not a particularly unusual thing to become a master."

Lu Ming: "..."

It's not uncommon to become a fine man, so what is so uncommon?

He probably didn't know that since the founding of the country, the government has not allowed any creatures to become spirits. Since then, the country has never seen spirits again.Taking a ten thousand step back, even if there are real creatures that become spirits, the general public and people in the Taoist sect like them don't know about them.

Just listen to Jin Ye continuing: "For all things in the world, opening up their spiritual wisdom and becoming a spirit is the first step for them to get rid of their mortal status. If they are talented in cultivation, they can lose their mortal status after a thousand years of practice. Li Xianban."

Hearing this, the corners of Lu Ming's mouth twitched.Why did Jin Ye's words get more outrageous the more he said them?Even the plots in fantasy dramas such as Chengjing's cultivation and immortality have been told.

"Becoming spirits is a good thing for them, but it is very dangerous for spirit creatures who have just opened their spiritual intelligence and have not yet cultivated much. There are too many spirits and monsters stronger than themselves in this world. It will be eaten by others. Some spirits will build an illusion in order to protect themselves, which is the original source of the alien space."

Hearing this, Lu Ming's eyes lit up, "According to what you said, this alien space was opened by spirits to protect themselves. Those people just entered by mistake, so those missing people should still be alive?"

"uncertain."

Lu Ming: "What do you mean?"

Jin Ye frowned, "Actually, there is a second reason why spirits build alien spaces besides protecting themselves."

"what?"

"Hunting."

After Jin Ye finished speaking, for some reason Lu Ming suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

"Just like some animals in the natural ecology have mimicry, in addition to protecting themselves, their method has a greater role in hunting. By hiding themselves, they can integrate themselves with the environment, so that the prey can let down their vigilance. Speaking of it This kind of spiritual creature is actually more like a spider in some respects, weaving a thin web, and insects will crash into each other's territory without paying attention and become its meal."

"All over the world, there are often legends about goblins who confuse ordinary humans and eat them. But these legends are not fabricated, but facts. Some spiritual things... Well, the so-called monsters will release their own absolute domain, ordinary humans Nine times out of ten, after being attracted, there will be no return.”

In the alien space, spirits are the masters of this world.How can ordinary human beings compete with these spirited things?

After listening to Jin Ye's explanation, Lu Ming was shocked and speechless.The fact that there are spirited monsters in this world is unacceptable, and now Jin Ye still says that monsters can eat people.It's just scarier, okay?Even if he is a Taoist, he has never heard of such a thing.

"Since that's the case, won't the group of people be saved?"

Jin Ye didn't answer, and saw him stop in the middle of the first floor, then closed his eyes and squatted down to touch the ground with his palms.

Seeing Jin Ye's operation, Lu Ming felt at a loss. "Friend Daoist Li, what are you doing?"

Seeing that he was indifferent, Lu Ming knew that the other party was probably doing business, so he had to wait quietly beside him.Seeing the strange crowd coming and going around, no one seemed to pay attention to their actions, Lu Ming immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After about half a minute, Jin Ye withdrew his hand, "I found it."

Hearing that, Lu Ming was overjoyed: "Have you found the missing person?"

"Well, it seems that a few people are still alive, but the condition is not very good, and I don't know if we can survive until we rescue them."

Speaking of which, Jin Ye stood up and patted the dust on his hands that didn't exist, looked at Lu Ming and said, "You will take care of all the people who will be rescued later."

Lu Ming: "Why?"

Jin Ye frowned: "Some people have been trapped here for ten days and a half months without taking a shower, I'm afraid it will blow my nose."

Lu Ming: "..."
