There is a trick

Chapter 149: Bad Tribulation (5K, 1/1)

Zhou Changxian wrote a few lines on the paper.

He stared at the words, frowned and began to think:

"When walking in the 'mining area' as a response body, you need to do things that are in line with your 'response body' identity.

The search for Uncle Yang, Bai Xiu'e and others can only be done in secret.

They have never been to a mine, and have no experience of modern life. It is easy for them to act inconsistently with their respective roles, which in turn leads to some unpredictable things.

Find them as quickly as possible.

At this time, we can rely on the power of public officials such as Song Jia and Qian Keren.

The work of these people may focus on matters such as "detecting the supernatural". If Grandpa Yang and his companions continue to behave inconsistently with their respective identities and attract all kinds of curses and weirdness, they may be targeted by people with such responsibilities as Song Jia.

Now I don’t know whether they are far or near from me?

We all took the same elevator down, I hope they are not far away from me...

in addition--"

At this time, Zhou Chang seemed to suddenly think of something.

He wrote the number '9' on the paper, and then wrote down the names of nine people, including himself, Yang Rui, Bai Xiu'e, Bai's father, Shi Danzi, Zhou Sanji, and the three duangongs of the Xiao family, under the number.

"The mindless demon 'Wu Xin Gui', which has the ability to make people forget things and wanders around the ghost grave, also took the elevator down to the mine area.

Its killing pattern infected the other eight people except me. Even Xiu'e, Grandma Bai, her seven little sisters, Bai Ma... were eventually affected by its killing pattern.

It is not yet certain whether Cui Ai was affected by this.

After Xiu'e and the others leave the elevator, will they continue to be affected by the killing patterns of the 'heartless ghost'?
That kind of "amnesia" spreads very quickly. Next, you can pay attention to the news, online revelations, etc. related to it, and use the influence of the "heartless ghost" on people to find the whereabouts of Xiu'e and others.

Moreover, the heartless ghost who went down to the Sheyin Mine seemed to have gained some kind of enhancement in an instant.

Under the influence of its killing pattern, the seven people except Bai Xiu'e forgot about me and the people around them in an instant. Even Xiu'e finally couldn't stand the invasion of this "amnesia" after holding on for a while.

Then why are they all so deeply affected by the 'heartless ghost', while I can live in peace with it?"

Zhou Chang looked at the red rope on his wrist.

'The Relic of the Plague God' - The sports watch dripped blood in an instant, and the blood soaked the red rope on Zhou Chang's wrist.

After that, the sports watch disappeared without Zhou Chang noticing.

Later, Zhou Chang used his heart's blood to write the name of the "God of Plague and Death".

He remembered that at that time, a thin thread extended from the throne covered with the palm prints of the "Heartless Ghost" and wrapped around his middle finger.

Following the thin thread, Zhou Chang even heard the sound of a baby babbling and crying "Dad".

Whether it was the blood dripping from the Plague God's relics, soaking the red rope on the wrist, or the thin thread that was later wrapped around his middle finger... there should be a close connection between them.

"It is very likely that the power of the Plague God was not enough to completely protect nine people at the time, but it still protected me in the end...

The thin thread that was once wrapped around my middle finger has now disappeared.

The red rope on the wrist was silent for a moment.

How to find the trace of the 'God of Plague'?

The 'Plague God' and the 'Heartless Ghost' are natural opposites.

The Heartless Ghost has been trying to usurp the power of the 'God of Plague' - those handprints of the naughty children that are all over the God of Plague come from the Heartless Ghost.

If we find the 'God of Plague', we will probably find clues about the 'Heartless Ghost', and we can follow the clues to find Xiu'e and the others' whereabouts!" Zhou Chang was refreshed when he thought of this.

Among the 'Duan Gong Method' he learned, there was a 'Scissors Method for Finding Evil Spirits'.

This subject was used before to find the whereabouts of people with the same fate. Now, perhaps it can be used to find the whereabouts of the plague god or the heartless ghost!
Zhou Chang had a plan in mind.

He temporarily suppressed the idea of using scissors to find Kemen on the spot, and instead thought about another question: "How to mine?"

After going through untold hardships, we finally arrived at a Yin mine area. If we don't try to dig some "minerals", it would be a waste of all the hard work.

Although Xiao Zhenming and others claimed that the mining area was full of treasures, even if they were all treasures, there were still differences in their value.

Mining is the second big thing.

In addition, the whereabouts of Cui Ai, Li Qi's physical body, and even Li Qi's soul are not within Zhou Chang's consideration.

They didn't bother Zhou Chang, and Zhou Chang wouldn't bother looking for them.

"Ada, how do we find valuable minerals in the Yin Mine Area?

What kind of minerals are truly valuable minerals?" Zhou Chang asked directly to the "Dapin Xindan Jing".

His current name for this sutra has been simplified to the two words "Ada".

A thought flashed through Zhou Chang’s mind.

The words "Ada" slid out from the corner of Zhou Chang's left eye and slowly spread out in his left eye's field of vision:

“In the Yin Mine, anything brought back to the world will be valuable.

But their value can be divided into high and low levels. Among them, the most valuable ones include the various spiritual inheritances that have not yet existed in the world, as well as various instruments that are related to ghosts and gods and can be used directly.

The 'Relics of the God of Plague' could barely be considered an instrument related to ghosts and gods, but the power of the foreign god attached to it was too weak to be considered the most valuable one.

Under the inheritance of ghosts and gods and the instruments of gods, there are various "spells" and ghost medicines.

In the Yin Mine area, for unknown reasons, the types of magic and techniques are preserved in a very complete manner, which is incomparable to the modern world.

Most people who practice this technique cannot successfully cultivate it.

However, once people in the modern world come into contact with this kind of technique, they can almost instantly understand its value.

There are often areas within the mining area that are infested by ghosts and gods.

The various medicines hidden inside are all useful when brought into the world...

Ghost and god inheritance, tools, medicines, and magic can all be considered as the more valuable minerals in the Yin Mine. Because of their great value, they are not easy to find. It is necessary to find the "fire" in the mining area.

By keeping this fire burning, it can illuminate clues to various treasures."

"Fire?" Zhou Chang raised his eyebrows. "What fire?"

“The source of the fire is unknown, and its external form does not appear only in the form of flames. However, even if it does not appear in the form of flames, it still has the characteristics of burning objects.

There are three fires in the body of a living being. If the three fires are extinguished, the living being will die.

Legend has it that there are three traces of fire hidden in many areas of the Yin Mine.

'Bad calamity is coming, the source of fire appears'.

Once the fire in the Yin Mine is extinguished, the ghosts and gods on the "Bad Disaster List" will revive, leading the Yin Mine area to fall and all living things to enter the end of the law.

Therefore, in areas where fire appears in the Yin Mine, many ghosts and gods often gather to try to extinguish the fire. "The Great Heart Pill Sutra explains this.

"Bad Tribulation List... Fire Seed..."

Several new words came into Zhou Chang's view.

He recalled the "disaster list" that Cui Ai Ling had seen. At that time, he also said that his son "Wu Xin Gui" was listed among the three lists - it can be seen that in addition to the disaster list, there are two other lists:

"This so-called Bad Disaster List is one of the three lists, just like the Disaster List?"

"Yes."

"Are the ghosts and gods on the Bad Tribulation List more terrifying than those on the Disaster List?"

"Of course."

"Then there is one more list left, what is the masterpiece?"

"Can't say."

"Do you not know, or do you know but cannot tell me?"

"can not say."

"Is this third list more terrifying than the Bad Tribulation List?"

"The Bad Disaster List includes all the ghosts, gods, people, and tools that have stepped into the end of the killing disaster and survived.

There are a total of 500 rankings, which is called the 'Top Killing Power List'.

The disaster list includes acts of killing living beings, being evil, terrifying, and spooky.

There are a total of one hundred places.

The list of the unspeakable includes the opportunities of heaven and earth. Those who stand out from the catastrophe and remain immortal, like the eternal gold, can be listed on this list. "Ada" responded.

Zhou Chang then asked "A Da" who were on the bad disaster list?
But 'A Da' said that only those on the list can know and perceive each other.

Only when the fire is extinguished and the bad catastrophe is coming, those who are in the bad catastrophe can briefly see the people on the bad catastrophe list.

And those living people who saw their rankings on the bad disaster list often died after the bad disaster.

Those who survived are already on the Bad Disaster List, and it is even more impossible for them to reveal their ranking on the list and bring disaster upon themselves.

Therefore, Ah Da didn’t know his ranking on the list of bad disasters.

Now, only Zhou Chang has seen the ghosts and gods on the disaster list.

"Then how do we find the 'fire'?"

The extinguishing of the fire can bring disaster to the mining area. Holding the fire to keep it lit can illuminate the clues of treasures in the mining area. This item is obviously very important, and may have other uses that "Ada" does not know.

"I don't know."

Ada's response made Zhou Chang silent again.

It then added a few more sentences: "No one knows how to find the fire. It can only rely on 'chance', or often go to remote areas where ghosts and gods gather. In these places, the possibility of the 'fire' existing is very high."

Zhou Chang nodded.

As expected, you can't get the tiger cub without diving into the tiger's den.

If you want a spark, you have to go through dangers often and risk your life.

Of course, getting fire can be used to search for the most precious inheritances and treasures in a mining area, but the price paid for this is bound to be extremely high. On the contrary, occasionally trying your luck and relying on your own experience in modern life to "mine" may have lower returns, but it is safer. In fact, Zhou Chang also has a "family background" in this regard.

This can be seen from the fact that his grandfather borrowed the "Qingtan" in his hometown to predict his fortune and asked for the red string from his mother's mother.

After asking Ah Da these important questions, Zhou Chang sat at the table and was stunned for a while.

He then opened his phone and found the train ticket purchasing platform on He Ju's phone.

Zhou Chang pursed his lips, entered the word "Yangping" in the destination column, and clicked to search.

——There is a direct train from Baihe City where Zhou Chang is now to Yangping where his grandfather is!
The content that popped up on the screen made Zhou Chang's heart beat!

From Baihe to Yangping, it is more than 2,000 kilometers.

It has only been a dozen days since Zhou Chang left this world in the Yin Mine area!
For a moment, Zhou Chang even wanted to turn around and leave the rental house, start the car outside the door, and drive directly to his hometown.

But he just thought about it and then suppressed the impulse.

Now that I am in that world, I am no longer free from worries.

Grandpa Zhou Sanji was also in this hidden mine, as were Xiu'e, Grandpa Yang and others.

Without first finding out where they were and making sure they were safe, Zhou Chang couldn't bear to leave them behind and go alone to look for his grandfather in his hometown.

Moreover, he is now 'He Ju'.

It was totally unreasonable for He Ju to run to Yangping, more than 2,000 kilometers away, for no reason.

This kind of behavior will inevitably bring about a series of ominous things.

It may even bring disaster to my grandfather in my hometown.

At the same time, it is unknown whether the scope of the Yin Mine mining area here can cover an area more than 2,000 kilometers away.

If a 'miner' like himself rashly leaves the mining area, it may cause some kind of abnormality.

Zhou Chang still remembers that when his grandfather was in the underworld, he said to him: "The sky has collapsed here, don't come back..."

The sky is falling, what does it mean?
Could it be that he has fallen into a complete disaster?

Whenever Zhou Chang thought of the words his grandfather left behind, he felt heartbroken.

Zhou Chang took a deep breath and calmed down for a moment in front of the computer desk.

The night is getting darker.

The evening breeze blowing in from the window seemed a little cool.

The faint stench that had previously filled the room had now been blown away.

Zhou Chang got up and closed the window.

Outside the window, only the street lamp on the diagonal street was still on, emitting a dim light.

All other residents turned off their lights.

Even the group of landlords who were playing mahjong on the second floor opposite had dispersed.

Pulling down the curtains, Zhou Chang searched everywhere in the living room, but couldn't find a pair of scissors - "Scissors are the key to finding evil spirits", so he had to use scissors, as this item itself carries a hint of evil spirit.

Apart from this, the rest of the weapons are useless.

Since he didn’t find the scissors in the living room, Zhou Chang went to the kitchen.

Sometimes the host may also use scissors to process some ingredients, food packaging and the like. The kitchen is also a place where scissors may be placed.

However, after Zhou Chang entered the kitchen, he found that

There are all kinds of pots, pans, and utensils here, but there is no trace of any kind of knives.

I couldn't even find a pair of scissors.

If you don’t cook often, you may not often have knives at home.

However, there were still grease stains on the corners of the gas stove in this kitchen, half a bucket of rapeseed oil was left in the cupboard, and there were some vegetables on the ground with slightly dry leaves on the surface but not moldy inside... All these signs showed that the owner must have cooked frequently.

'He Ju' We often cook at home, so why are there no knives left?
Zhou Chang frowned, and his eyelids twitched violently as he guessed a possibility in his mind.

He searched the kitchen and began to rummage through drawers and cabinets throughout the house.

The room, which was already littered with women's clothing, became even more messy after being turned over by Zhou Chang.

Zhou Chang searched the two rooms, but did not find the things he had guessed would appear.

At this time, perhaps because the windows were closed, a faint foul smell began to emanate from the house again - but Zhou Chang was sure that he had searched every corner of the two rooms, and he did not find any rotten animals or "animal parts"!
So where does this rancid smell come from? !
He frowned, sniffed the nauseating stench, followed it, and slowly walked to the head of the bed in the bedroom.

On the wall above the headrest of the bed in the bedroom, there was a black mold stain the size of a fist.

The faint stench comes from this mold spot.

How could a moldy spot produce such a foul smell that filled the whole house?
This doesn't make sense, unless the mold has undergone some strange change.

——Where did this mold come from?

Zhou Chang took a piece of paper and cut it into the shape of a blade.

Strands of thoughts flowed out from his palm and wrapped around the paper.

His mind blessed the piece of paper that was wrapped into the shape of a blade, and the pitch-black blade of thought instantly became "sharp".

Afterwards, he used this "mind knife" to scrape away the mold on the wall piece by piece.

Nothing unusual happens.

After the mildew was scraped off, the foul smell in the room was no longer there.

The moldy wall paint that had been scraped off no longer emitted a foul smell.

Zhou Chang temporarily collected the scraped wall paint and planned to buy a pair of scissors tomorrow to find out if there was any evil spirit left in the wall paint and where the source was.
His thoughts can also be woven into the shape of scissors with the help of real objects, and can even be sharper than scissors.

However, the scissors created in this way cannot be used to seek evil.

For a beginner like Zhou Chang, it is better to have all the necessary equipment to perform various rituals.

Those powerful masters can even perform their rituals without the aid of various rituals, but Zhou Chang has not reached that level yet.

After all the trouble, it was already two or three in the morning.

When it's darkest.

Occasionally, the shadow of street lamps flickers outside the curtains.

Zhou Chang turned off the lights and lay on the bed. The light occasionally swayed, casting a chaotic shadow all over the room.

In those shadows, ashes fluttered down and gradually filled Zhou Chang's "Shaoyang Meridian of the Foot".

After escaping the attacks of many strange creatures in that world, the "ghost ashes" accumulated in the shadow under Zhou Chang's feet have become extremely considerable.

He now used these ashes to fill the first yang meridian in his body, the 'Shaoyang Meridian of Foot', and completely wiped out the yang energy in it.

After destroying the positive energy in the first meridian, there is still a lot of ash left.

However, these 'ashes of plague and ghosts' could no longer be used in Zhou Chang's next yang meridian.

——The six Yang in the body must be destroyed with six different kinds of ashes.

However, the remaining 'plague ashes' are not useless.

Under Zhou Chang, the shadow that had completely blended into the surrounding darkness was now wriggling, with the remaining ashes settling in it, and being slowly consumed by Zhou Chang's shadow.

The color of the figure was as colorful as a venomous snake for a moment, which was frightening, and then it returned to normal.

——Zhou Chang's shadow digested a huge amount of 'plague ash'.

In the future, when Zhou Chang has mastered the first realm of Weird Immortal Dao, 'Absolute Nine Yins', his shadow will transform into a strange shadow, giving birth to strange creatures.

At this time, the shadow devours the ashes, which is equivalent to consolidating the foundation and providing nutrition for the mother body.

At the same time, after the positive energy of the first yang meridian in Zhou Chang's body was extinguished, the red evil energy lingering along the yang meridian turned into a pitch-black color. These pitch-black evil fires covered Zhou Chang's body, allowing Zhou Chang to persist longer in the killing pattern of the demon.

Zhou Chang lay on the bed, his eyes looking at the ceiling. All kinds of thoughts were churning in his mind, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he was beginning to feel a little sleepy, he suddenly heard the sound of dogs barking outside the window.

There are indeed many people in the urban villages who keep dogs.

The barking sounds of dogs came from far away, and in a moment all the dogs on the street started barking, from far away to near.

Zhou Chang was awakened by the dog's barking, and subconsciously turned sideways to look toward the window.

In the dark room, only the curtains were illuminated by the dim light from the street lamp outside.

At this moment, a huge human figure appeared in the yellow light.

The figure had loose hair and was facing the window.

It seemed to be right outside the window, staring straight at Zhou Chang lying on the bed through the window curtains!
Zhou Chang suddenly felt a chill in his heart!
He jumped up from the bed, and the thread of thoughts silently wrapped around his entire arm.

Just as he was about to open the door to find out what was going on, Zhou Chang suddenly became distracted.

When he came to his senses, he found himself lying on the bed, not moving at all.

There was only a dim light coming from the window, and no huge figure with untied hair could be seen!

The scene seen at that moment seemed to be just Zhou Chang's illusion -

How could such a real illusion be possible?!
That is no illusion!
Even if it is just an illusion for a moment, it is very likely to represent some kind of warning sign!
Zhou Chang became alert. He sat up from the bed and walked to the door in his slippers.

At this time, there really was a shadow of a woman with long hair, slowly passing by the window.

Then, Zhou Chang heard a knock on the door.

"Tuk, Tuk, Tuk..."

The knock on the door was mechanical and stiff.

Hearing the knock on the door, Zhou Chang, who had originally wanted to open the door to see what was going on, frowned and hesitated for a moment.

Is this door open or not?
