Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 776

Fortunately, the toilet is not sandy.

Everything is back to normal.

It seemed like he really woke up this time.

…

It's still cloudy today.

It was foggy in the village, and everything was so gray that it was hard to see even a little further away.

"Husband, are you okay?"

Zhang Mengdi walked to Li Teng and asked him softly.

Li Teng had been sitting there in a daze with the Bagua tray, which made her a little worried.

"fine."

Li Teng shook his head.

The plot this time was really hurtful.

He has experienced more painful plots before, enduring torture every day.

But nothing made him collapse like this.

For seventy years, only the brain can move.

And even though I knew it was a dream, I just couldn't wake up.

Fortunately, he didn't collapse in the end.

Such strong willpower is really not something ordinary people can achieve.

Li Teng felt that all this was probably related to the Bagua Pan.

Dripping urine to identify the owner may be just a cover.

Lying on this Bagua Disk to sleep, experiencing the torture of being unable to move for seventy years, and not having a mental breakdown may be the main reason why he was able to bind this Bagua Disk.

People who are not strong-willed will definitely have a mental breakdown and become crazy before they can survive the binding.

He didn't, so he successfully bound the Bagua Pan.

But now, apart from receiving the Bagua Pan into his mind space, he has not figured out how to use it.

…

After having breakfast with Zhang Mengdi and Nana, Shen Mengying, who woke up at night but fell asleep again, finally woke up again.

She walked out of the room and came to the yard, looking at everyone with a dazed look in her eyes.

"Meng Ying, do you still know me?" Li Teng walked over and asked Shen Mengying.

"Husband." Shen Mengying nodded.

"Are you hungry? Let's eat something." Li Teng helped Shen Mengying to the table and brought her a bowl of porridge.

Shen Mengying drank the porridge silently, but still didn't say much.

Although Li Teng wanted to ask her what he saw outside the village, seeing her like this, he still didn't ask.

Wait until she takes the initiative to say it.

"Meng Ying, what did you see at the entrance of the village last night?" Zhang Mengdi suddenly asked.

Shen Mengying seemed to be stunned, and then suddenly hugged her head and trembled all over.

Li Teng reached out and hugged her.

"I'm sorry..." Zhang Mengdi apologized quickly.

Li Teng felt that after Shen Mengying arrived outside the village, her spirit was severely stimulated, or in other words, her soul was damaged.

If she is asked to recall events outside the village, her mental state is likely to deteriorate again.

Therefore, it is better to avoid this matter for the time being.

In the morning, Li Teng went to the coal mine again, hoping to collect more briquettes for his family.

It was confirmed that briquettes were indeed a hot commodity in the village.

It takes about fifty parts of coal to dig out from the bottom of the mine to get the equivalent of one part of the briquettes.

In this case, it is better to come over at night and steal coal.

Anyway, the villagers didn't go out at night, and there was no one to guard the coal mine.

After lunch, Li Teng left the house and went to the Taoist temple instead of digging coal.

…

"Do you want to be a Taoist priest?" A middle-aged Taoist priest looked at Li Teng.

"Yeah." Li Teng nodded.

If you want to find out what's wrong with this village, what's going on with those lonely ghosts at night, and the terror outside the village, there's another way besides taking the risk to investigate on your own.

It means joining a Taoist temple, becoming a Taoist priest, and becoming a member of the ‘ruling class’ of this mountain village.

"The procedure for joining a Taoist temple to become a Taoist priest is as follows: First, you need to pledge 10,000 work points to the Taoist temple, and you will receive a "Exorcist Ghost Sutra" from the Taoist temple.

“Then, under the guidance of the Taoist priest, practice the Ghost Exorcism Sutra.

"After practicing the Ghost Exorcism Sutra to a certain stage, you will have the third level of strength and be able to pass through three ghost gates alone at night. Only then can you enter a Taoist temple and become a Taoist priest."

The middle-aged Taoist priest explained to Li Teng.

"Ten thousand work points?" Li Teng frowned.

He could earn fifty work points for one morning's work in the coal mine.

At the end of the day, I work hard and earn about a hundred work points.

A family needs work points to eat, drink, and burn coal. It is not easy to save 10,000 work points. If you work hard, it will take at least half a year to one year to ensure your livelihood. In a year's time, it would be possible to accumulate 10,000 work points.

It's really not worth it just to join a Taoist temple and become a Taoist priest.

"If I didn't pay my work points and didn't practice the Ghost Exorcist Sutra, but I could pass through three ghost gates alone at night, does that count as passing?" Li Teng asked the middle-aged Taoist priest.

"Hahahaha..." The middle-aged Taoist priest laughed together with other Taoist priests present.

"Are you serious about what you just said?" A young Taoist priest asked Li Teng.

"Of course I'm serious."

"Let me tell you this, if you don't practice the "Exorcist Ghost Sutra" and go through the gates of ghosts, there is only one result, that is, you will be scared to death and run away, or you will become a fool. If you don't practice the "Exorcist Ghost Sutra", let alone the three gates of ghosts. No, you can't even get through the first gate of hell." The young Taoist priest answered Li Teng.

"The "Exorcist Ghost Sutra" actually cultivates the soul, and there are nine levels in total. If you have not practiced the "Exorcist Ghost Sutra" to a certain level, if you try to break through the ghost gate, you will have a nervous breakdown and become a madman. Only the "Exorcist Ghost Sutra" can be practiced Only when you reach the third level or above can you successfully pass through the first three ghost gates, and each ghost gate corresponds to a level of strength." The middle-aged Taoist priest added a few more words seriously.

"What I'm asking now is, if I didn't pay my work points and didn't practice the Ghost Exorcism Sutra, but I can break through three ghost gates alone at night, does that count as passing?" Li Teng repeated his question.

"That's impossible. Without practicing the Ghost Exorcism Sutra, the Taoist Priest will not let you take the risk of breaking through the gates of ghosts." The middle-aged Taoist priest shook his head.

"Where is the Gate of Hell? Is it in a Taoist temple?" Li Teng asked the middle-aged Taoist priest again.

"No, it's near the mine. You must not trespass without permission. It is a restricted area and you will lose your life." The middle-aged Taoist priest shook his head.

It seems that there is no way to enter a Taoist temple and become a Taoist priest without paying 10,000 work points.

When leaving the Taoist temple, looking at the gate of the Taoist temple, Li Teng suddenly remembered something...

What happened to the Bagua disk he bound?

"Sign in!"

Li Teng tried to say it in his mind.

"Ding! Today's sign-in was successful and I received a copy of "The Book of Exorcism of Ghosts". Do you want to study it now?"

An electronic sound appeared in Li Teng's mind.

"It's actually...a sign-in system?"

Before Li Teng entered the script world, when he was reading online novels, he found that the 'check-in' system was now popular everywhere, and the script world was not far behind!

Chapter 777

"Study now." Li Teng said in his mind.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the practice of "Exorcism Sutra"."

The electronic sound sounded again.

"How advanced are you in your cultivation?" Li Teng asked the electronic voice.

Electronic Sound did not reply.

It seems that the only way to know is to go to the Gate of Hell at night and check it out for yourself.

After leaving the Taoist temple, Li Teng went to the coal mine again.

He wants to find the location of the Gate of Hell.

After searching around the coal mine for more than an hour, I finally found the Gate of Hell in a remote place.

It's an abandoned mine.

The words "Ghost Gate Pass Restricted Area" are written on the outside of the mine door.

There are also small prints that say ‘no entry after dark’.

Does this mean you can actually go in during the day?

Li Teng looked around and saw no one around, then sneaked in.

Inside was an abandoned mine. After walking a few steps, a hole appeared in front of it. Next to the hole was the words 'The First Gate of Hell' written on it.

The walls around the cave entrance are covered with various talismans.

After getting into the hole and walking around for a while, a hall appeared. There was a hole at the other end of the hall with the words "The Second Gate of Hell" written on it.

This time, in addition to various talisman papers, there were also some talisman plates hanging on the walls around the entrance of the cave.

Because ghosts are active at night, Li Teng will not encounter ghosts when he enters this cave.

To break through, you can only do it at night.

Then come back at night and steal some coal by the way.

In order to steal coal at night, Li Teng went to work in the coal mine after leaving Guimen Pass.

"Your wife didn't come over again?" The miner who had chatted with Shen Mengying yesterday asked Li Teng with some disappointment.

Li Teng's two wives were both as beautiful as flowers, which made him very envious.

"She is sick. By the way, you are so young and so strong, why don't you become a Taoist priest? I don't think those Taoist priests need to work." Li Teng asked the miner.

"The Taoist priests protect our village, and the villagers support them. Of course they don't have to work. Moreover, the Taoist priests found this coal mine, and the ownership belongs to the Taoist temple. Most of the coal we dig belongs to them." The miner answered Li Teng.

"Then why don't you become a Taoist priest?"

"I applied for it! I spent 10,000 work points and got the opportunity to attend classes and practice the "Exorcist Sutra". However, after attending classes for three years, I still didn't get started. The Taoist priest thought my qualifications were too poor and asked me not to go again. What a waste of time." The miner chuckled.

"Then have you ever tried to break through the ghost gate?" Li Teng asked again.

"If you haven't practiced the Ghost Exorcism Sutra well, how can you dare to go through the gates of ghosts? Isn't that asking for death?" The miner shook his head.

Li Teng said nothing more and continued digging.

It is estimated that everyone in the village who has some qualifications has entered the Taoist temple.

After all, the Taoist temple is the real ruling class in the mountain village.

Those village cadres are probably second-tier.

They, ordinary villagers, are at the bottom.

Just like in real society, if you want to climb up, you need talent and financial resources.

…

After nightfall.

After Li Teng lit the brazier and settled Zhang Mengying, Shen Mengying and Nana, Li Teng changed into black clothes, wore a black hat and a black cloth mask and went out alone.

If you go out to be a thief, of course you can't be recognized.

He didn't know if it was because the Bagua Pan system had helped him practice the Ghost Exorcism Sutra. When he went out tonight, Li Teng found that he could also 'see' the lonely ghosts wandering around the village.

It’s not ‘seeing’, to be more precise, it’s ‘sensing’.

When Li Teng walked to the village road, some lonely ghosts approached him and tried to seize his body.

But because his body was full of yang energy, those lonely ghosts couldn't succeed. They just followed him instinctively, just like hungry people follow the bread after smelling it.

If Li Teng was traumatized like Shen Mengying last night, if they had a chance, they would definitely pounce on Li Teng and try to seize his body by force.

"drive!!"

Li Teng muttered silently in his mind and activated the ghost exorcism technique.

"Puff puff!"

The spirit bodies of the three lonely ghosts surrounding them exploded instantly, and along with a shrill scream of souls, they turned into clouds of gray mist and spread around.

Further away, the wandering ghosts seemed to have sensed the murderous intent here, and fled into the distance in horror.

"This is how the Ghost Exorcism Sutra works!" Li Teng nodded, very satisfied with the result.

It seems that the seventy years of dreams last night were not in vain, as he successfully bound the Bagua Pan, which resulted in the current result.

However, when Li Teng looked towards the back mountain, looking towards the depth of the back mountain, his soul felt a dangerous throbbing.

There seems to be some kind of terrifying existence deep in the back mountain, which he cannot deal with now.

Don't venture there just yet.

In addition, looking towards the entrance of the village, the soul will also have this dangerous throbbing.

The back mountains and village entrances at night were not places he could explore for the time being.

Let’s try to break through the ghost gates first and see how many of them you can break through.

…

When he arrived at the place where the Gate of Hell was, a gust of dark wind blew over, making Li Teng feel chills.

Li Teng calmed down and walked towards the restricted area of ​​Guimen Pass.

"This place is extremely dangerous! Please retreat quickly!"

Just when Li Teng was about to enter the Guimen Pass Mine, the shadow of the old man in white robe appeared in front of the Guimen Pass Mine and waved to Li Teng.

Li Teng stepped back a little, and the shadow of the old man in white robe disappeared.

Li Teng approached again, and the shadow of the old man in white robe appeared again, saying the same words as before.

It seemed like it was just an unconscious gramophone-like shadow, reminding villagers who strayed into this place at night not to enter.

"Drive!!" Li Teng muttered silently in his mind.

"Poof!" The figure of the old man in white robe exploded in the darkness, turning into gray mist and floating around.

Li Teng continued forward and walked into the mine.

The cave entrance ahead is the first gate of hell.

Li Teng entered the first gate of hell.

There were five formed ghosts inside. When they saw Li Teng coming in, they immediately rushed towards Li Teng.

Compared with the solitary wild ghosts that have no human form and cannot be seen by ordinary people, these ghosts already have a certain entity. If there is light now, their bodies will appear like a mist under the light.

Li Teng, who has practiced "Exorcism of Ghosts", may be able to sense their location even in the absence of light.

"drive!!"

Li Teng waited until the five formed ghosts came close to him, and then said silently in his mind.

"Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!"

The bodies of the four closest ghosts exploded on the spot, turning into clouds of gray mist that spread around.

The remaining one was seriously injured and fled away.

"drive!"

Li Teng silently muttered again to the figure of the fleeing ghost.

The fleeing ghosts exploded on the spot and turned into gray mist.

"If you break through this so-called ghost gate once, all the ghosts will die. Wouldn't the old Taoist priest have to practice ghost training again?" Li Teng complained as he walked towards the second ghost gate.

The reality was certainly not what he imagined.

Ordinary people who have just started to practice the "Exorcist Ghost Sutra" will enter this cave accompanied by an old Taoist priest. After entering the cave, reciting the word "Exorcist", at most, they can only drive these ghosts away from them and prevent them from letting go. There is a chance to get close and affect the soul, and then take the opportunity to quickly penetrate into the next gate of hell.

As long as you pass through the third ghost gate and successfully return, you will pass without being dead or crazy. You will not be able to kill these ghosts at all.

Li Teng was different. He used the Bagua Pan to practice the entire "Ghost Exorcism Sutra" in an instant. It was so powerful that he could no longer drive away these elementary ghosts, but instantly kill them.
