Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 778

"drive!"

Li Teng passed the second gate of death.

"drive!"

Li Teng passed the third gate of hell.

"drive!"

Li Teng passed the fourth and fifth gates of hell.

In the fourth and fifth ghost gates, Li Teng's word "drive" did not kill the ghosts in the fifth ghost gate, but only drove them away.

Li Teng continued to move forward.

However, there is nothing ahead.

It seems that when the old Taoist priest designed this ghost gate to test the strength of his disciples, he did not think that anyone could practice beyond the fifth level of the "Ghost Exorcism Sutra".

This also makes it impossible for Li Teng to confirm what level of strength he currently has.

However, he vaguely felt that his current strength was not enough compared to these ghosts.

After all, he couldn't even kill the fourth and fifth level ghosts.

This is not surprising either.

The main function of the "Exorcist Ghost Sutra" is to expel ghosts, not to destroy ghosts. The ghosts in the first three levels were seriously injured and killed by Li Teng because Li Teng had completed practicing the "Exorcist Ghost Sutra", and in the first three levels, All ghosts are very fragile and cannot withstand this level of exorcism.

After the intensity of the ghosts in the fourth and fifth levels increases, the "Ghost Exorcist Sutra" will only have an expulsion effect on them, but no harm effect.

If Li Teng wants to kill them, he must learn a ghost-killing technique.

The time now seems to have passed zero hour.

Li Teng remembered the sign-in system, where you could sign in once a day, so he decided to sign in at Guimen Pass to see if he could get a ghost-killing technique.

"Ding! Today's sign-in was successful and I received a copy of "The Art of Concealment". Do you want to learn it now?"

An electronic sound appeared in Li Teng's mind.

"study."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the practice of "Hidden Breathing Technique"."

According to the instructions on the technique, after using the invisible breath technique, you cannot become invisible from the field of vision, but when you hide in the dark, other Taoists who have practiced it, or ghosts, etc., cannot sense him through energy fluctuations. exist.

Li Teng was a little disappointed that he didn't get the ghost-killing technique.

It seems that there is no way to kill the ghosts in the fourth and fifth levels tonight.

Just as Li Teng walked out of the hell gate and was about to return home, there was some movement and light in the distance.

It was two Taoist priests who came over carrying two lanterns.

Li Teng quickly hid in the nearby bushes.

After the two Taoist priests came over, they found that the shadow of the old man in Taoist robes beside the door was missing. They entered Guimen Pass to investigate and confirmed that all the ghosts in the first three levels of Guimen Pass had disappeared. They couldn't help but be surprised.

"Someone came secretly to break into the ghost gate?"

"Yes, I killed the ghosts in the first three levels. It seems that I have the cultivation level of a family."

"Who is he?"

"Not sure."

The two Taoists walked out of the Gate of Hell and stood in front of the Gate of Hell, discussing.

"Could it be the 'Revenge of the Fierce Ghost' on the back mountain?"

"Impossible, Li Gui's revenge takes place during the full moon of every month, and there are still a few days left!"

"Then who will destroy the gate of hell?"

"Go back and report to the Taoist first, and let the Taoist come and investigate in person."

"Hmm, tell me, can the Taoist Master suppress the revenge of the evil ghost during the full moon this time?"

The two Taoists talked and walked towards the Taoist temple.

"I don't know, the Taoist Priest's physical condition is getting worse and worse. Last night, he spent his mana to save the woman who had committed a crime and left the village. The evil ghost's revenge is getting stronger every month. One day, the Taoist Priest will be unable to suppress her. "

"If the Taoist master cannot suppress the revenge of the evil spirits, won't we all die?"

"That's for sure. If the Taoist master can't suppress it, the evil ghost will kill us all."

"I don't know who the evil ghost will choose to possess this time."

"Whoever it is attached to will be unlucky! It will definitely die."

"Alas, the evil ghost's revenge means that one person in the village will die every month. This evil ghost must not choose to attach his soul to me. I still have a family to take care of."

"With more than a hundred people, the chance of being selected is not high. If you do get selected, it's your fate."

The two Taoist priests said nothing and walked further and further away with their lanterns.

There was no place to hide behind, so Li Teng stopped following.

"The evil spirit's revenge?"

Li Teng looked in the direction of the mountain behind.

There was a dangerous throbbing in the depths of his soul.

This throbbing seemed to indicate to him that the danger was not something he had the strength to face now.

“There are many secrets in this village!

"It seems that my current strength is too far behind the fierce ghosts in the back. This little skill cannot ensure the safety of my family.

"It's better to wait and see, sign in for a while and continue to improve your strength."

…

He sneaked to the coal mine at night, hoping to steal coal. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got close to the mine, the shadow of the old man in white robe appeared.

He couldn't even use the invisible breath technique.

This shadow seems to have vision, and it is vision that penetrates the darkness.

"Don't steal the mines, I'm watching you!" Xuying also said something.

Li Teng hesitated in the darkness for a long time, and finally gave up his plan to steal the mine.

This Taoist priest looked more powerful than he imagined.

The fierce ghosts in the back mountain would make Li Teng's soul tremble, but this Taoist master could suppress the fierce ghosts, which showed that he was not weak.

Li Teng is still very weak now, so it would be better not to expose his strength in front of this Taoist priest.

…

After giving up stealing the mines, Li Teng walked towards home in the dark.

Although Li Teng's current strength is far inferior to that of the ghosts in the back mountains, it is enough to deal with the lonely ghosts wandering around the village at night.

As he passed the ancestral hall, Li Teng's soul throbbed again.

Although it is not as strong as when he looked at the back mountain, it is still a terrifying existence that he cannot provoke at this stage.

There is a public toilet next to the ancestral hall, which is also the only public toilet in the village.

Li Teng happened to have an urgent need to urinate, so he went in and drained the water.

After solving the problem, Li Teng went back home and killed all the ghosts wandering around his home before returning home.

Of course, he still had to continue burning the briquettes, after all, he still had to sleep.

It would be bad if some lonely ghost without eyes wandered over and he didn't wake up in time and hurt the young Nana and the traumatized Shen Mengying.

…

It's a new day.

Shen Mengying's condition is still not good.

Although she can live and eat normally, her consciousness is not very clear. She is in a daze most of the time, and sometimes she cries inexplicably.

Fortunately, she was not as aggressive as Li Teng's dream.

Chapter 779

"Brother, do you know about Li Gui's revenge?"

When Li Teng finished digging and was calculating work points, he asked the person in charge of the coal mine who was calculating work points.

"Have you been wandering around outside all these years? It's not surprising that you don't know this.

"That fierce ghost was a woman from another village more than a hundred years ago. She married from another village. After she got married, she didn't follow the rules of a woman and even secretly got together with the man she used to be in love with.

"One day her acrimony was discovered, and the villagers were very angry. They soaked her in a pig cage for three days, and then made her ride a wooden donkey for half a day on a full moon night before she died.

"Unexpectedly, she turned into a ghost.

“More than a hundred years ago, our Lijia Village was very prosperous, with a population of more than 2,000.

"After this woman turned into a fierce ghost, she crazily demanded her life in our Lijia Village.

“More than two thousand people died and fled, and only a few hundred people were left.

“Those who escaped seemed to be under some kind of curse, and they would return to the village for various strange reasons.

“Those who didn’t come back basically died outside because of the curse.

"And their descendants..." The person who calculated the work points said and looked at Li Teng: "One day they will return to this village for various strange reasons.

"In order to fight against the evil spirits, the people in the village invited two Taoist priests with profound knowledge to come to the village to exorcise the evil spirits.

"They are junior brothers, and the Taoist priest in the Taoist temple is now his junior brother.

"After a fight between his senior brother and Li Gui, he suppressed Li Gui in the back mountain, but his senior brother was also seriously injured and passed away in the back mountain two years later.

"Although Li Gui has been suppressed, every month when the moon is full, a trace of her spirit will absorb Yueyin and break through the seal to come to the village.

“Forcibly seizes the body of a villager, takes possession of the villager’s body and starts killing people.

"This is the 'Revenge of the Fierce Ghost' you asked about.

“The Taoist priest stayed in the village and built a Taoist temple.

"On the night of the full moon every month, all Taoist priests will be arranged to patrol around the village. Once he finds a villager whose body has been taken away, he will rush over as soon as possible to fight with the ghost.

“The Taoist Master is getting older and older, his magic power is getting weaker and weaker, and each fight becomes more and more difficult.

"The number of villagers is also getting smaller and smaller. Sooner or later, one day, if the Taoist master cannot defeat the ghost's ghost, the village will be slaughtered by the ghost's ghost."

The person who calculated the work points let out a long sigh when he said this.

"What did you encounter when you left the village at night? Is it also the evil ghost causing trouble?" Li Teng finally knew the secret of the back mountain, and now he casually asked about the secret of the village entrance at night.

"That...I don't know." The person who calculated the work points obviously had a twinkle in his eye.

"Why has the Li family ancestral hall become a restricted area?" Li Teng asked again.

When passing the ancestral hall at night, Li Teng also felt threatened.

Although the threat was not as good as the back mountain and the entrance to the village, it was still something he could not provoke at the moment.

"That...is to protect...the memorial tablets of our ancestors." The person who calculated the work points said nonchalantly.

"Why did I hear that it was to prevent something inside from coming out?" Li Teng asked.

"Who did you listen to?" The person calculating work points looked a little wary.

"I don't know much about the people I heard talking about while walking." Li Teng shook his head.

"Don't listen to those rumors. The less you know about some things, the better." The person calculating the work points looked at Li Teng.

"I found that there are very few men and many women in this village. Is it because the ghosts like to kill men?" Li Teng asked another question.

Since the person in front of you is willing to speak, then ask more questions until he refuses to answer.

"Of course, the people who soaked her in the pig cage and forced her to ride a wooden donkey were all men in the clan. What she hates most must be the men of our Li family. In most cases, when there are men present, she is parasitic. If the soul is divided, the man will be killed first." The man who calculated the work points nodded.

"Her soul will come out to take revenge on the night of the full moon. It's been cloudy these past few days and the moon can't be seen. Doesn't it mean that she can't absorb the moonlight and won't come out?" Li Teng continued to ask.

"This is the scariest place. We can't see the moon, and we don't know whether the moon is round or not. Which day is the roundest at night?"

"Based on past experience, the moon should be full in a few days, but if it stays like this cloudy, we won't be able to prepare in advance." The person who calculated the work points answered Li Teng.

"Isn't it enough to arrange for night patrols in the past few days?" Li Teng asked.

"It's not a matter of manpower patrolling at night, but when the full moon night comes, the Taoist priest will set up a spiritual arresting array, and the spiritual arresting array greatly consumes the Taoist priest's mana and the coal crystals stored in the village. It is impossible to determine which It's a full moon night, so the Taoist priest can't set up the spiritual formation.

"If you go into battle in a hurry, the Taoist priest may not be the opponent of Li Gui Fenhun." The person who calculated the work points sighed again.

…

After talking with the person who calculated the work points, Li Teng almost understood the main task of the plot.

It should be related to the ghost on the back mountain.

Find a way to kill the evil ghost and solve the survival crisis facing the village.

But the people in the village were obviously hiding something.

For example, if the woman has sharp feelings, it may be one-sided.

Generally speaking, only great grievances will create evil spirits. The story behind this woman being tortured and killed should not be that simple.

What happened to the ghosts in the ancestral hall may be related to the main story.

And the unknown terror that keeps everyone silent at the entrance of the village at night may even be an existence more terrifying than the ghost.

These must be investigated clearly and solved one by one, in order to completely lift the terrible curse that has been hanging on all the villagers of Lijia Village.

The premise of all this is that Li Teng must first improve his own strength.

Fortunately, with Nana's help, Li Teng became the owner of the dripping urine and bound the Bagua disk. By signing in every day, he could get the same benefits and improve his strength.

I hope that before this full moon night comes, I can have the ability to protect myself.

…

Late at night.

Li Teng came to the door of the ancestral hall.

He didn't come here to challenge the terrifying existence in the ancestral hall, but...

Sign in.

Li Teng wasn't sure about the rules for signing in to get rewards, but based on his experience in online novels, generally speaking, signing in next to more important buildings would give you better rewards.

"Ding! Today's sign-in was successful and I got a copy of "Pure Yang Water Arrow". Do you want to study now?"

An electronic sound appeared in Li Teng's mind.

"Learn." Li Teng was overjoyed. He knew from the name that this was definitely a technique for fighting ghosts.

Li Teng learned "Pure Yang Water Arrow".

But when using it, it gives me a headache.

Explanation of this technique...

The so-called pure Yang water is,

Forget it, let’s not talk about it.

When facing a ghost, just show your weapon and shoot.
