ghosts come

Su Lin placed the rubbings on the ground, pondered carefully, and discovered some details that he hadn't noticed before.

Since there are murals engraved on all sides of the stele, according to the usual way of thinking, one would usually look from the front to the side, so Su Lin would also mistakenly think that the front of the stele was the beginning of the mural.

But it's not.

What Su Lin saw in front of him looked like a ghost king, as if he was presiding over the sacrificial activities, but if he looked backwards, he would find that the ghost king-like person was actually the one being sacrificed.

Su Lindao: "So this mural is offering sacrifices to the ghost king?"

Shen Zhixing pursed his lips and said, "There is no clear evidence that this is the ghost king."

There is no direct depiction of the person in the mural to indicate that he is the ghost king.

Su Lin frowned: "Then who is this? This stele is hidden in the depths of the underworld, and the things depicted should be related to the underworld, but I have been in the underworld for so many years, and I have never encountered any sacrificial activities in the underworld."

Shen Zhixing was awakened by Su Lin's words, and said: "It doesn't mean that we haven't seen it, maybe the sacrifice was carried out in a place we don't know."

"A place I don't know..." Su Lin tilted his head, "Can't others know about such a terrible sacrificial activity?"

Shen Zhixing: "Look, some of the sacrificial pits look like people, and some resemble remnants of souls, which means that the sacrifices needed for this sacrifice should be ghosts in the underworld. And does this sacrificial pit look like a cauldron? A cauldron full of ghosts."

Su Lin carefully observed the mural, and muttered: "What can the pot be used for...cooking?"

"Cooking! Could it be that this is cooking ghosts!" Su Lin was shocked.

Shen Zhixing took Su Lin's hand and said, "Let's make a bold guess. If this is really a pot full of ghosts, what might it be used for?"

Su Lin's hair stood on end for a moment: "Maybe he is refining something..."

Shen Zhixing encouraged Su Lin to continue talking.

"Put all the ghosts together and refine them in a way we don't know, but what needs so many ghosts." Su Lin couldn't figure it out.

Shen Zhixing said: "I know there is a spell that requires so many ghosts."

"what?"

"The Art of Rebirth."

People cannot be resurrected after death, they turn into ghosts and come to the underworld, waiting for reincarnation, the body will be reduced to ashes with the passage of time.

In order to live forever, the emperors have tried every means to become a god-like person with the heaven and the earth, even destroying the country and destroying the people, but they failed to find any clues.As everyone knows, the secret of longevity is actually hidden in the underworld.

And the secret of longevity is rebirth.

Human beings are living as a mortal body, fragile and small, how can such a body coexist with the world.

Therefore, this layer of body must be thrown away, leaving only the soul.But how a ray of soul can become a god requires the art of rebirth.

The art of rebirth requires a certain number of ghosts to be refined together, to condense a thin strand of ghosts together, live and die together, and finally possess the power comparable to that of a god.

The art of rebirth can also be understood as the road to becoming a god.

"But since ancient times, it has never been heard that anyone has used this kind of magic to become a god?" Su Lin couldn't help but feel horrified when he knew the technique of rebirth.

Shen Zhixing: "Indeed, there is no such thing. People who can accomplish this kind of magic must have extraordinary strength, but most people come to the underworld after death, and they no longer miss the human world. Even if they have regrets, they can't do anything. In the end, they can only enter reincarnation. Resurrecting a lifetime. Therefore, the status of a person who can complete this kind of spell must be extraordinary."

Su Lin nodded. Only the ghost king can do this kind of thing in the underworld, but the ghost king himself exists with the heaven and the earth. To him, this technique of rebirth is not as attractive as a meal.

Shen Zhixing said: "Although this mural looks creepy, if we blindly connect it with the recent movement in the underworld, I'm afraid we will be led astray."

Su Lin: "Yes, this is just a suspicion. The current situation is only the problem of remnant souls and the ground collapse of the underworld. There is no trace of such sacrificial activities, but we still have to pay attention. After all, there are too many things in the underworld that we don't know. too much."

Shen Zhixing put away the drawing paper, and after hiding it, put his arms around Su Lin, rubbed his chin against Su Lin's ear, and said softly: "There are still some things that I don't have a clue for now, let's check about Shennongcao tomorrow. Just rest tonight."

Su Lin sniffed the scent on Shen Zhixing's body and nodded.

Just when Shen Zhixing was about to lift the quilt to do "bad things", Su Lin suddenly passed him and took a deep breath, and said, "Shen Zhixing, have you noticed that you have an extra smell?"

Shen Zhixing: "What's the smell?"

Su Lin couldn't tell: "It smells like a tree, some like the fragrance of grass."

Hearing this, Shen Zhixing's movements froze for a moment, but he returned to normal in an instant.

"Maybe it was accidentally stained when I came back."

Su Lin still wanted to speak, but Shen Zhixing lowered his head, covered his lips, and kissed him forcefully.

In the early morning, Su Lin was still sleeping late, and felt someone kissing him in a daze, so he muttered: "Don't make trouble, I'm going to sleep for a while."

But the person who came was still kissing, his face was covered with saliva, Su Lin stretched out his hand to touch it, and thought: Why does Shen Zhixing not distinguish between day and night, and return it endlessly.

Turning over and hugging, I touched a ball of fluffy things.

Su Lin lost all sleepiness and immediately jumped up.

A pair of round eyes, long tongue spit out non-stop "ha".

"Where is the dog!" Su Lin roared.

The dog seemed to be responding, "Wow".

Su Lin suddenly felt a sense of fear, this dog appeared on his bed, and there is no dog at home, this could not be Shen Zhixing!

Thinking of this, Su Lin rushed over, picked up the dog, and said with heartache, "Shen Zhixing! Why did you become a dog!"

The dog tilted its head and scratched Su Lin with its paws, as if saying: It's me!it's me!

Su Lin felt aggrieved immediately, hugged the dog tightly and was about to cry in distress.

"A Lin?"

Su Lin heard someone calling himself, raised his head, looked at the dog, "Are you talking?"

The dog stared at its round eyes and continued to "ha".

Hold Su Lin's shoulders with both hands.

"A Lin, are you okay?" Shen Zhixing stood behind Su Lin with a worried face.

Su Lin turned his head stiffly, recognized Shen Zhixing's face clearly, and then turned to look at the silly-looking dog in his hands.Blink blinked his eyes.

Immediately threw the dog in his hand off the bed, got up, and asked, "What's going on!"

Seeing Su Lin flustered, Shen Zhixing quickly comforted him, "This is Cao Yuan's dog."

"Cao Yuan! When did he raise a dog?" Su Lin looked at the little white dog with his head. Its long hair was dragged to the ground, its pink tongue was exposed, and its round eyes stared at Su Lin.

Shen Zhixing picked up the little white dog, and said: "This is what Cao Yuan sent over early in the morning. He said that the love is over, the heart is dead, let us take care of his son, what else is there? Changliu, see you soon."

Su Lin frowned in disgust: "What crazy words did he say early in the morning, what's wrong with him?"

Shen Zhixing shook his head, "He didn't even give me a chance to speak, so he left after talking a lot."

Su Lin shook his head, looked at the dog, it was so cute, he couldn't help but patted his head.

"Does this dog have a name?"

Shen Zhixing: "Cao Yuan didn't say anything."

Su Lin yawned and said, "Since he is Cao Yuan's son, let's call him Xiao Cao Yuan."

Little Cao Yuan turned his big eyes around, as if savoring his new name.

"Oh! It's only been a few days, and the cubs are all born! Su Lin, you have worked so hard!" Xiao Wu saw Su Lin holding a dog doll from a long distance, and rushed to meet him.

"Get out!" Su Lin scolded.

"Quickly enter the door, you can't be exposed to the wind after giving birth, really, you don't have confinement, adjust your body." Xiao Wu continued to run with his mouth full.

Su Lin pushed the dog into Xiao Wu's arms and said, "This is not my son, it belongs to Cao Yuan."

Xiao Wu opened his mouth wide, and after digesting Su Lin's words, he leaned closer and whispered, "You and Cao Yuan? Does Shen Zhixing know? Don't worry, tell me, I have a tight mouth."

Su Lin was too lazy to argue with Xiao Wu, and said coldly: "I think your neck is still a little crooked, it seems that you still need to straighten it."

Xiao Wu fled in an instant with the dog in his arms, muttering, "What a bad mother."

Su Lin strode into the door, looked around, but did not see Cao Yuan.

"This Cao Yuan is mysterious these days, what's the situation?"

A ghostly servant raised his hand, "Are you in love! Look at the happy events that everyone has had one after another recently, when will it be my turn!"

Another ghost messenger continued: "You go to the back row, the next one is me!"

"Why!"

The two ghost messengers pinched each other while talking.

Seeing that the topic was getting farther and farther away, Su Lin helplessly supported his forehead, told Cao Yuan to tell him when he came back, and then turned and went to the bookstore.

Su Lin has been in the underworld for more than 1000 years, and has seen many things, but the underworld is vast, and Su Lin has not been free enough to walk through every inch of the land, and some strange creatures are still very unfamiliar.

Su Lin took out an encyclopedia book from the bookcase, and flipped through the pages carefully.

Su Lin flipped through almost half of the thick encyclopedia before finding the one that recorded Shennongcao.

Su Lin raised his head, moved his stiff neck, and began to study.

It is recorded in the book: Shennong Grass is a herb cultivated and planted by Shennong in ancient times. It was originally intended to be used to fill the stomach, but it was accidentally discovered that it has a good effect on people's psychological treatment, so it began to be used medicinally.But after a period of time, people stopped taking this grass, and the Shennong clan that cultivated Shennong grass also ordered a ban on planting this grass.

Later, the gods divided the heaven and the earth, and the seeds of this grass were brought into the underworld, where they grew from then on.

Although it was said that it grew up in the underworld, Su Lin had never seen Shennongcao with his own eyes, and now that Shennongcao was born, he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

Su Lin leaned against the bookcase and fell into deep thought: Shennongcao does have the effect of curing heart disease, but people used to talk about the unity of heart and brain.

To treat psychology, another explanation can also be said to have an effect on the human brain.Later, Shennong banned the planting of this grass, because he must have discovered that it had some bad effects.

Su Lin made a bold guess: Could it be that the real function of Shennongcao is not to cure heart disease, but to control the human brain.But what does this have to do with the remnant soul? Shennongcao can also control the remnant soul?No, if Shennongcao can control the remnant soul, it is impossible not to have discovered it before.

Su Lin remembered that the remnant soul transformed in front of his eyes that day. If Shennongcao had an effect on the remnant soul, it must have something to do with the ghost becoming a remnant soul.There must be something missing in this book.

Afraid of missing something, Su Linsheng continued to read.

The remaining pages of the book did not record anything about Shennongcao, but Su Lin discovered another thing.

That little red bug that day.

Although the little red worm was very small, Su Lin remembered its appearance.

This little red worm is called a nightmare worm, and although it is small in size, it has great effects.If bitten, it burrows into a person's skin, creating an illusion.

This kind of bug was used by prisoners of war in ancient times to extract some information about the enemy's military.

Su Lin bit her lower lip, "No wonder Shen Zhixing saw the illusion at that time, it turned out that this little bug was playing tricks."

Shennong grass, nightmare insects, each point to a long time ago, Su Lin thought wildly: The ancient beasts will not appear next, destroying the underworld.

Amused by his own thoughts, Su Lin put the book back on the bookcase and left the bookstore.

When Su Lin walked back, a tall figure came out from behind the bookcase, picked up the book that Su Lin had just flipped through, flipped through it, tore off a few pages, and put the book back.
