For the next three days, several people were arranged in this unknown deep mountain, and meals would be delivered to their rooms on time every day. Of course, they could also go to the restaurant for dinner. However, everyone here was like a mute, including Old Wang, who had been here for a while and rarely spoke, only smiling politely.
The scope of the activity was strictly limited, with sentries standing guard everywhere and "No Entry" signs visible all over the place. After a while, they also lost interest in trying to find out what was going on, so they just stayed in their rooms.
Zha Wenbin was originally a person who could endure, sitting in the room to comprehend and resolve doubts, also piecing together the events from start to finish. After some deliberation, he felt that the little ghost in his dream was probably the red-clothed man, but how to combine these two? There was only one explanation:
The man in red may indeed be a masterless corpse as shown in the file, or he was also a practitioner of the refining ghost path before his death. As for which sect he belonged to, it is unknown. This thing is like a bat in the dark, and cannot be seen in the light.
In short, for some reason, this red-clothed man was discovered by a greedy little demon after his death because his soul was abnormal and different from ordinary people. The little demon did not follow the rules of the underworld and lock him into the Yellow Spring Road, but instead took another extreme approach: possession!
It's not uncommon for people to be possessed by spirits, and we often encounter such cases in our daily lives where someone's body is taken over by various ghosts or demons. In most cases, finding a knowledgeable person can help exorcise them. This is because humans are the masters of this world, constantly interacting with social groups, even if their own energy is low and they attract unwanted entities. However, due to exposure to sunlight or the influence of the collective yang energy from surrounding people, those unwelcome guests will often disperse on their own.
In fact, possession is very dangerous for those "good friends" from another world, because they need to follow the possessed person in contact with too many things that are fatal to them without fully controlling the host, such as: sunlight, human aura, and even mountains, Taoist temples and Buddhist temples with spiritual energy.
So the people who are often possessed are afraid of sunlight, they like darkness, like to hide at home, are afraid to see strangers, and even more fear those talismans that ward off evil spirits. Often a weak woman at this moment is stronger than an ox, it's not her innate ability, but rather the work of those evil spirits. I believe friends from rural areas must have heard about such scenes many times, or maybe even more friends have seen them before, or even experienced them personally.
The final result of possession is either a slow recovery, but also being hurt by one's own vitality, often with poor physical and mental health for a period of time; another outcome is being harmed to the point of losing one's life by that filthy thing.
But Wen Bin had a different view of the man in red, an extremely special existence. In the underworld, there is also good and evil, greedy people coveted this male corpse and attached themselves to his body, then hid in that yin place to achieve some unmentionable purpose. Just as he broke through, would they let him off? For the yin messengers who controlled the underworld, it was easy to harm a fallen soul...
What about Chaozi? He was so bored that he spent his days playing cards with Zhuo Xiong and Heng Roulian. The three of them would gather at a table every day, sweating profusely as they gambled fiercely. Anyway, apart from wine, everything else was readily available here, so it felt like a vacation. However, this kind of life could only be tolerated for one or two days; by the third day, even Heng Roulian lost interest and stared blankly at the ceiling every day. Humans can get lonely, and this kind of life, which is almost like being under house arrest, can ultimately drive you crazy!
The dull days continued until the fourth day, and unlike usual, Old Wang appeared with a smile.
"A few brothers are afraid that they can't hold on here either, it's all because I didn't take care of you well, some situations need to be reported to the higher-ups. Now I'll take you to a place." After saying this, he made a please gesture and everyone followed him to the first floor.
After a large and heavy gate was opened outside the door, a corridor was filled with bright lights. Old Wang led the way in, followed closely by everyone else.
At the end of this passage, there is another door. After entering, it's a conference room-like place. On that oval-shaped table, several large packages have been placed. Old Wang pointed with his hand: "One person one package, take it yourself and check if you need anything else."
This bag was immediately recognizable as military issue, with canvas on the outside and a waterproof layer inside, making it special equipment that was absolutely good stuff. He hastily grabbed one and held it in his hand, and it was indeed a bit heavy.
Open the backpack, good guy, this can make Chaozi happy: "Triangular bayonet, paratrooper knife, I rely on it, there is also rubber! Tsk tsk, Old Wang, aren't you selling military equipment? How did you get this stuff?" Chaozi played with a large-caliber handgun in his hand, which was the world-famous Desert Eagle. Although this thing only had a bullet capacity of seven rounds, its effective range of 200 meters and powerful firepower could easily put down an adult elephant.
In addition to these, there are climbing ropes, high-intensity waterproof flashlights, crampons, folding pickaxes and various emergency medicines. More importantly, there is also a walkie-talkie.
Old Wang smiled and said, "Each of you three brothers will get a share. Whatever else you need, I'll arrange for it to be done. The long gun is too eye-catching, and when we arrive at the destination, there will naturally be people to take care of it. As for Wen Bin, I know what he needs - all the best materials except for those rare treasures like the Return Soul Fragrance, which can't be found. All the other materials have been prepared."
Chaozi couldn't help but fondle the dagger one moment and play with the handgun the next. A man, especially a soldier, often has a love for weapons that surpasses women. He couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Haha, enough, enough! Old Wang, are you planning on sending us to war? These things are probably rarely seen even in regular troops, they're all high-end goods! What do you think, Zhuo Xiong?"
Zhuo Xiong was also very familiar with these things, smoothly opening the clip, loading, pulling the bolt, and releasing the safety. This set of actions was done in one breath, "It's really good stuff!"
What was left for Zha Wenbin were some talismans, incense sticks, cinnabar and other Taoist supplies. More importantly, Old Wang had also carefully prepared glutinous rice and soybeans, as well as a packet of dark liquid. Zha asked, holding the thing in his hand, "What's this?"
Old Wang pointed at those dark things and said, "There are several packs of dog blood, all from black dogs. There are also several packs of chicken blood, the best Luohua Da Gong Ji, I think you might need them, so I've prepared them."
Cha Wenbin no longer replied, he understood that Old Wang had put thought into preparing these things, which meant that a new journey was about to begin, perhaps one filled with danger and challenges.
Old Wang sent them back to their respective rooms, each carrying their own things. This night, Cha Wenbin slept poorly, and so did the others, each with different guesses, turning over and over in bed.
The next day, Chaozi, playing with his knife, looked at the silent Cha Wenbin and asked: "Wenbin brother, what do you think this old Wang is up to? This equipment is enough to arm someone to the teeth. When I was a scout, I didn't even have all this stuff."
Cha Wenbin smiled faintly and said, "You just have that little hobby, I'll give it to you, you can take it. It's not like I'm giving it to you as a toy. This house is still easy to talk to."
An old man in the monitor smiled and said, "It's really a group of interesting people. This team may be able to find what we want." Next to him, Old Wang was standing humbly, quietly listening to the old man's teachings.
That night, when the darkness was deep, a off-road vehicle with ordinary license plate suddenly sounded a screeching brake. Cha Wenbin and his party, including Old Wang, got in, totaling five people. The car key was handed over to He Yichao, along with a map, on which a circle had been drawn at the midpoint. That place has even been erased from modern satellite maps.
In the darkness, this off-road vehicle let out a low roar and slowly drove towards that destination...
