Chapter 266 The Ghost Gate Curse
"The symbol is the door opening mechanism?" Lin Sheng looked surprised.
"Senior, I don't know something. If you don't know anyone else in our line of work, you must know the Ghost Gate Curse."
Wu Xunjin looked proud: "The symbol on this brass door is the Ghost Gate Curse."
"The Ghost Gate Curse?" Lin Sheng was curious; "Do you have any books on this curse?"
"Of course there is." Wu Xunjin quickly took out an ancient book from his storage bag and handed it over.
"There are a total of one hundred and forty-four curses in the Ghost Sect. The junior sect only records thirty-six curses."
Lin Sheng looked through the ancient books and put them away: "What is the power of this ghost gate curse?"
"It has no special power." Wu Xunjin shook his head; "It is said that the Ghost Gate Curse can suppress evil spirits, so all the Ghost Gate Curses are used in the tomb."
Lin Sheng frowned slightly: "Didn't you say that this place is not a big tomb?"
Wu Xunjin showed hesitation: "This junior is just guessing and not sure. Maybe it's not necessarily a ghost being held here."
Lin Sheng was thoughtful: "Since you know the Ghost Gate Curse, why can't you open the brass door outside?"
Wu Xunjin smiled coquettishly: "As soon as I stretched out my nails, before I could touch the cursed seal to open the door, I was chopped off by the stone statue..."
Lin Sheng laughed dumbly: "Then why don't you go all the way? Maybe there are other ways to survive here?"
Wu Xunjin shrank his head: "This place is too weird, I don't dare to wander around..."
"With your courage, you can become the successor of Xunjin. It seems that there is really no one in your sect." Lin Sheng shook his head and walked into the brass door.
"But all the brave ones are dead." Wu Xunjin muttered in a low voice and quickly followed Lin Sheng's pace.
There is another long and narrow passage, with torches burning with green flames on both sides of the passage.
The two walked for a while, and Lin Sheng suddenly stopped. Wu Xunjin, not knowing why, also stopped.
Lin Sheng glanced around, his consciousness covering the passage, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Senior, what's wrong?" Wu Xunjin asked in a low voice.
"It's nothing." Lin Sheng said softly and continued walking deeper into the passage.
Wu Xunjin was confused, but he didn't think much about it and followed Lin Sheng's footsteps. The footsteps of three people echoed in the passage again.
After walking for some distance, Lin Sheng's steps gradually slowed down and his expression became more solemn.
At this time, Wu Xunjin also discovered the problem. His face turned pale. If Lin Sheng hadn't been walking slowly, he would have howled.
There were actually three footsteps echoing in the passage. They were obviously two people, so why were there the footsteps of three people in the passage?
Where is that person? Is it right behind you?
Wu Xunjin suddenly felt a chill on his back, and the hairs all over his body stood up. As a descendant of Xunjin, what he was most afraid of was that something strange would happen while he was searching for gold.
Master has said before that if you encounter something strange while searching for gold, you must retreat immediately and do not continue to search for gold. If you have already borrowed a treasure, you must keep it and cannot take it away.
"Senior...Senior, did you...did you find anything?" Wu Xunjin asked in a trembling voice.
"Yeah." Lin Sheng responded without stopping.
"Senior, you...have you found it?" Wu Xunjin felt his body getting colder and colder, his calves were trembling, and he couldn't help but think of some horrific rumors.
"Yes." Lin Sheng turned to look at Wu Xunjin behind him. The golden light in his eyebrows flashed. He had already seen the third person.
Lying on Wu Xunjin's back was a pale, naked and dirty man. His nostrils, middle ears and ears were filled with water, grass and silt.
The man put his hands on Wu Xunjin's shoulders, raised his toes on the ground, and tried to jump up on his back.
But at this moment, Wu Xunjin was walking forward, so every time the man jumped up, he was interrupted, and his toes stepped on the ground again, making the sound of walking footsteps.
When the man saw Lin Sheng looking at him, he grinned, revealing the mud in his mouth.
There is no doubt that this man is a ghost, and the most sinister among ghosts.
From the look of this man, one can tell that he is the one who drowned in Yunmeng Ze. Since he could drown here, he must be a monk, not a mortal.
Unless this ghost was originally a mortal who died in this tomb, but judging from the appearance of this ghost, it was obvious that he drowned.
How can someone drown if there is no water in the tomb?
Therefore, this ghost was most likely a monk who drowned in the water, but Lin Sheng couldn't figure out why there was a ghost here.
The conditions for the appearance of ghosts in this world are extremely harsh. Whether it is the soul of a monk after death or the soul of a mortal after death, if there is no external influence, it will dissipate after existing for at most seven days.
And if you want to become a ghost, the ghost energy is very important.
Lin Sheng didn't see any ghosts during his journey. How could there be ghosts? Could it be caused by a change in the soul of a ghost cultivator after his death?
Wu Xunjin looked panicked: "Senior...senior, you, you, you, why are you looking at me like this?"
"I'm just curious. As a gold hunter, what should you do if you encounter a ghost?" Lin Sheng looked at the ghost behind Wu Xunjin with great interest.
There are very few ghosts in this world, and ordinary monks cannot deal with ghosts because their magic power has limited effect on ghosts.
Only Divine Ability, a spell that suppresses evil ghosts, can harm ghosts. Among them, thunder and fire are the most effective against ghosts.
But ordinary thunder and fire spells will not work. It must be a special spell called Divine Ability that is designed to defeat evil spirits.
Lin Sheng has never learned a spell specifically to restrain ghosts so far.
However, he has the method of thunder and the method of swallowing, so it is easy to deal with the ghosts.
As for Wu Xunjin, judging from his appearance, I can tell that he has no strong magic, but if he dares to be a gold hunter, he must also be able to exorcise ghosts and suppress evil spirits.
Upon hearing Lin Sheng's words, Wu Xun trembled all over, and the blood on his face faded visibly.
"Senior... junior...whenever...when encountering a ghost,...you will just...run away."
Lin Sheng shook his head: "What if a ghost lies on your back?"
Hearing this, Wu Xunjin almost cried. He finally understood why his body was getting colder and colder, and there was a ghost on his emotional back.
As soon as he thought about it, he felt his shoulders sore, as if he was being pressed against a giant object.
"Senior...Senior, help me."
Lin Sheng was speechless. How could such a person be a gold hunter and still live to this day?
At this time, because the two of them had stopped walking, the ghost got his wish and jumped onto Wu Xunjin's back.
But it wasn't satisfied with lying on its back, and started to climb up towards Wu Xunjin's head. It stepped on Wu Xunjin's shoulders with its dirty feet and stood up directly.
Wu Xunjin suddenly felt his shoulders were heavy, his neck tilted forward involuntarily, and his back bowed high.
There was unspeakable pain in his shoulders and spine. Even if his reaction was slow at this time, Wu Xunjin knew that the ghost was already on his body.
The fear in his heart had reached its extreme, and he quickly used the fire technique with both hands, slapping his back crazily, trying to drive away the ghost.
In Lin Sheng's eyes, the flames did not affect the Yin ghost at all. The Yin ghost stood on his shoulders and grinned. A large ball of mud slipped out of his mouth and dripped onto Wu Xunjin's forehead.
Within a few breaths, Wu Xunjin's head was covered with mud.
‘Are you trying to kill someone by suffocation? ’
Lin Sheng was thoughtful. The reason why he didn't take action was to observe how this ghost would kill people.
The falling mud was also invisible to the naked eye. Wu Xunjin didn't know anything at all, but he just felt that breathing was getting harder and harder.
Short-term suffocation cannot kill the monk, but over time, the monk will also suffocate to death.
Wu Xunjin became more and more frightened. He stopped attacking randomly and looked at Lin Sheng with a pleading look on his face.
"I hope the seniors will save lives. The juniors want to be cows for the rest of their lives..."
Lin Sheng interrupted with a smile: "Don't worry, I will save you."
‘Then you should take action quickly! ’
Wu Xunjin shouted in his heart, if the ghost of love is not lying on your back, your life will definitely be ruined if you drag it on any longer.
As if he sensed what Wu Xunjin was thinking, the ghost on his shoulder suddenly raised his legs and walked towards Lin Sheng's shoulder.
Lin Sheng frowned slightly when he saw this. He raised his hand and was swept away by a golden thunder whip. He didn't want to experience the feeling of a ghost stepping on his shoulder.
There was a muffled sound, and the ghost was beaten to ashes by the thunder whip on the spot, leaving nothing behind.
Wu Xunjin felt the golden light explode in the passage. When he came to his senses, Lin Sheng had already walked towards the depths of the passage.
‘Have the ghosts been eliminated? ’
Wu Xunjin glanced around. Now his shoulders were no longer sore and his waist was straight. The biting cold on his body had also subsided.
All facts proved that the ghost was indeed eliminated.
‘Hiss, you are indeed a Gold Core Perfected Being, your strength is truly terrifying. ’
Wu Xunjin was shocked and quickly followed Lin Sheng's footsteps, thanking him repeatedly: "Thank you, senior, for saving your life. I have nothing to repay. I am willing to serve my senior for the rest of my life."
"Haha, you think so beautifully."
Lin Sheng smiled calmly and glanced sideways at Wu Xunjin who was catching up to him: "I'd like to ask you this, have you ever entered this passage before?"
Wu Xunjin smiled and nodded quickly: "As for the senior, I have come in before, and there is a brass door in front."
"Since I came in, why didn't I encounter any ghosts?"
"this......"
Wu Xunjin looked slightly stunned, but these words stopped him and asked him why he hadn't encountered any ghosts after staying here for two years.
Lin Sheng looked at the half-opened brass doors at the end of the passage and said calmly: "Since you don't dare to wander around, why don't you close these brass doors?"
Hearing this, Wu Xunjin seemed to suddenly think of something, and said in a trembling voice: "Senior...senior, junior remember that these...these doors are closed for juniors when they come out."
"oh."
Lin Sheng responded lightly: "So, someone else opened the door?"
Wu Xunjin looked horrified: "This, this, this... maybe the person who opened the door is not a human being..."
"Hehehe."
Lin Sheng chuckled: "You said the symbol on the brass door is the Ghost Gate Curse that can suppress evil spirits."
"Since it can suppress evil spirits and ghosts, how can the person who opens the door be a ghost instead of a human?"
