Chapter 1356: What’s on the Other Side of the River
Is there really such a thing as a soul pawnshop?
The soldiers looked at each other in confusion.
They were all materialists, so they did not believe in such things in the past. However, ever since the last puppet mission, they began to realize that perhaps there were indeed many things in this world that could not be explained by science.
Ajiu had not sensed any danger in the surroundings.
It was just that this time, even the compass was unable to confirm the direction.
Just like what she had described, this was the intersection of the three realms. Any human device might not function well here.
Bai Zhun also noticed the reaction of the compass. His eyes paused for a moment, then he squatted down and let Little Ala smell the burnt wood pile on the ground. “Trace it,” he uttered.
The dog ran towards the west.
Ajiu immediately understood what her little brother meant. However, even if she knew the direction here, she would not walk around recklessly.
The yin and yang realm were separate realms which should not simply disturb each other. It was just like how the well water did not disturb the river water.
If it was in other places, it did not matter how they walked during the day.
Just as the old people often said, when walking at night, one must walk by the side and should never turn back. One must walk the way one walked before, and one should not turn around randomly when one wanted to. There were some things in the dark that could see oneself. If one bumped into them, one would lose 30% of one’s yang energy. If one met some more powerful ones who really want to harm others, they might even stick to one’s body.
It was the same situation now.
In this place, the demonic energy and yin energy were obviously greater than the yang energy.
They couldn’t just walk around randomly, for it was very likely that they would block death’s way of dragging the ghosts into the underworld.
Although the matter was complicated, Ajiu still put on a serious face and explained everything to her teammates.
“We have to walk in a straight line. The yin energy here is too strong. Just the yellow talisman won’t be able to avoid those dirty things. Later, I’ll walk in the front while the little brother walks in the back. This way, the yang energy formation won’t bump into the passing souls.”
Ajiu’s method was indeed not bad. It was the simplest analogy.
The soldiers were all special forces soldiers, but they were still ordinary people with the naked eye, which meant they wouldn’t see the Grim Reaper there.
At this time, they needed to light a lamp. At the very least, they needed to let those souls who walked at night know that there were some humans here. When they walked, they would naturally take a detour.
Of course, there were some exceptions.
For example, there were indeed ghosts here who wanted to seize Ajiu.
This was because her body was a great tonic for them.
With such a natural affinity with Buddha, they had to deal with her before she became one of the Buddhas.
Even if they could only get meat scraps, this knowledge was a rare treasure for ghosts, especially malicious ghosts.
The fog here was indeed thick. Once they entered the west, the only sunlight was blocked, so it was really hard to tell where they were.
Moreover, Little Ala also became a little strange. It seemed that there was something on the other side of the river that made it feel scared. Obviously, it did not want to go over.
However, she would follow orders to the end.
This was the biggest difference between police dogs and other dogs.
Even their bodies had an admirable military spirit.
“But what on earth is there?”
In response, Ajiu frowned and could not help but look up at the winding river to the west…
