Chapter 29 The Use of Ritual Implements, Crematorium
"Nine Netherworld Soul-Capturing Spell..."
Bai Sheng muttered these words to himself.
The meaning of this ritual implement's name is more straightforward than it seems.
Based on the information just injected into my mind,
This is a piece,
A magical artifact made by sealing the essence of a serpent that feeds on corpse energy after its death and refining it into its bones.
The Soul-Capturing Technique has nine layers of restrictions, but only the first layer has been activated so far.
One of the core capabilities
It is capable of communicating with the Nine Nether Hells.
After death, the soul returns to the underworld.
However, some souls committed too many sins and were cast into the deepest hell, never to be reborn.
What the Nine Nether Soul-Capturing Technique can do is...
It's about bringing these evil spirits to the very bottom of the hierarchy.
They were forcibly dragged out of the deepest hell.
After selecting it,
Using snake bones as a furnace and the stench of corpses as fire,
Refine these evil spirits into the purest essence.
In turn, it nourishes the magic weapon itself.
The more ferocious the refined soul is, the denser the corpse energy it emits, and the more restrictions are broken.
Each time a layer of restriction is broken, the Soul-Capturing Spell can activate one more layer of magic...
As for its sudden glow just now...
That is, the two stable purple lights in the snake's eyes.
Because the Soul-Capturing Aura sensed that there was an opponent nearby who could be suppressed.
An instinctive reaction occurred.
It's less of a summoning and more of a hunting instinct.
"Hmm, could it be that there's a heinous spirit lurking around here?"
Coming to my senses again,
Bai Sheng suddenly realized that the surrounding environment had changed a lot.
The number of shops on both sides began to decrease, and the roadside trees became increasingly sparse.
The road surface also changed from the city's asphalt roads,
It turned into the kind of cement road that's been slightly dented by heavy trucks.
In the air,
A dry, burnt smell of grass and wood was detected.
"Are we leaving the city?"
The frequency of the purple light flashing in the snake's eyes also increased.
Bai Sheng pushed off with his feet and rode several hundred meters further.
Then he squeezed the brakes.
At the end of the road,
A gray and white square building,
Isolated in a vacant lot enclosed by a wall,
The chimneys stand tall against the hazy horizon.
A black plaque hangs at the main entrance, with several large gold characters embossed on it.
Yangcheng City Funeral Home
"This is it..."
"Meow!"
Fat Orange finally caught up and lay down at Bai Sheng's feet.
The body heaved violently.
Clearly, the journey of these ten-odd miles had exhausted it.
The purple light emanating from the snake's eyes on its chest suddenly dimmed at that moment.
It turned into a faint, almost imperceptible glimmer.
Bai Sheng got out of the car, pondered for a moment,
I decided I had to go in and take a look no matter what.
It's rare for one's own magical artifact to work its magic.
It would be such a pity if we couldn't see it with our own eyes.
If a breakthrough can truly be achieved...
The [Nine Nether Soul-Capturing Technique] absorbed enough soul energy to break through the second layer of restrictions.
Even better.
Moreover, this magic weapon is targeted at...
They all come from the most heinous souls.
Even if they were used to refine magical artifacts,
That's understandable.
He tucked the necklace back into his T-shirt collar.
The funeral home doors were opened.
Step inside.
In the hall,
It smells like cheap fragrance mixed with disinfectant.
The floor tiles reflect light.
The light reflected off the stark white fluorescent tubes overhead.
Several small farewell halls lined both sides of the corridor, their doors ajar.
Intermittent sobs could be heard leaking from under the door.
Bai Sheng slowly walked forward along the corridor.
The snake-like bone on its chest automatically indicates its direction.
If it were the old Bai Sheng...
I would never want to come to a place like this.
Even under such influences, the night inevitably evokes feelings of melancholy and wistfulness.
But whether it was due to the completion of body refinement or the effect of that medicine, it's unclear.
Bai Sheng, on the contrary, has been full of energy since he came in.
It didn't feel much different from going to a restaurant.
According to the guidelines,
Bai Sheng walked to the end of the corridor.
The farewell hall on the left.
The purple light flashed for a fleeting moment.
"It seems that the corpse of that heinous soul is lying here."
Bai Sheng stopped at the door, not going in immediately.
I peeked inside through the crack in the door.
"Who put this as a funeral portrait...?"
In the very center of the farewell hall,
There was an offering table covered with a white cloth.
A portrait and an incense burner were placed on the table.
The man in the portrait was probably in his early thirties.
He has a thin face, high cheekbones, and shifty eyes.
He didn't even look at the camera in his funeral photo.
It was like someone called out to me from the side while I was taking a picture.
An elderly couple with gray hair stood in front of the offering table.
The old woman collapsed onto the old man, crying so hard she could barely make a sound.
The old man next to her patted her back expressionlessly.
His eyes were dry, and his lips moved a few times.
No sound was made.
A large group of relatives were standing around him.
The two middle-aged women at the end were whispering to each other.
Although the sound was very, very soft.
But Bai Sheng still overheard it.
The general meaning is,
This is a gambling addict who's addicted to online gambling.
He withdrew all of his parents' pension money and then took out dozens of online loans.
When debt collectors came to the company, the boss fired him immediately.
My wife also divorced me and took the children with her...
"Tsk tsk tsk, taking the pills and then jumping off a building, that's some serious determination."
"Yes, they have the resolve to die, but not the resolve not to gamble!"
"What a pity, the debts didn't die with them; the debt collectors are still staking out the old couple's house!"
……
Bai Sheng paced back and forth outside the farewell hall.
The Nine Nether Soul-Capturing Spell was still flashing, urging him to go in.
"Stop rushing me, I want to go in too, but the problem is I can't!"
Bai Sheng thought to himself,
There were still a few people in the farewell hall. Two of the relatives who had helped the old lady out earlier had returned.
Arrange the portrait and offerings in front of the altar.
Two middle-aged women were packing apples into a plastic bag while chatting in hushed tones.
"How is the old lady?"
"She fainted twice from crying and is now lying in the rest room."
"His brother-in-law didn't let them come tonight, because he was afraid the old lady's health couldn't handle it."
"Oh well, there's nothing we can do. The old lady can't bear to part with her son."
There was a rustling sound.
Bai Sheng took half a step back towards the corner of the corridor, waiting until the two middle-aged women had walked away with their plastic bags.
We returned to the entrance of the farewell hall.
He lingered outside the door for a few more minutes.
Bai Sheng confirmed that all the living people had left.
"Yeah, go for it, and let's get this over with quickly!"
"If anyone finds out, I'll just say I'm drunk!"
He quietly opened the door and slipped inside.
He closed the door behind him.
The latch clicks.
He was the only one left in the farewell hall.
And the body lying on the altar.
Bai Sheng walked around to the front of the Lingtai.
He was less than a meter away from the body.
The distance was so close that the remains could be clearly seen, with frost fragments remaining on the eyebrows.
The body was lying in the freezer just half an hour ago.
In addition, indoor air conditioning,
The skin surface was still covered with a very faint layer of frosty white.
Bai Sheng pulled the Nine Nether Soul-Capturing Guide out of his collar.
The snake's purple light stopped flashing.
It continuously emits a stable purple light.
call out!
Two extremely thin purple rays shot out from the snake's eyes.
It was precisely aimed at the area between the eyebrows of the deceased.
Two purple dots were branded onto the frosty white skin.
brush!
The body's eyelids suddenly popped open!
Instead, it felt like being pushed from the inside by an invisible hand.
Both eyelids bounced up at the same time
The already cloudy, grayish-white eyeballs were exposed.
