Chapter 182: Bell Ghost
After standing there silently and criticizing Yinglong for a while, Xia Yu prepared to set off again.
But just as he took a step, the ethereal female voice appeared again, and the owner of the voice seemed to be observing whether Xia Yu left.
"Even so, will you continue to move forward? We...will pray for your safety."
After the ethereal female voice finished speaking, it fell silent again. Xia Yu continued to move forward, thinking thoughtfully.
We? The rest of the Children of Transformation who died in failed experiments and were not able to reincarnate?
It is not known if it is because of the Sakura Dragon's immortal power, but the rest of the children who underwent the experiment of the Child of Change, although their bodies died, their souls became undead and remained.
These undead spirits float and wander between life and death in a space called the Corridor of Illusion, and move around by possessing the screen monkeys in the Corridor of Illusion.
Xia Yu didn't know how to make the dead souls reincarnate, but he was quite interested in the illusion corridor that existed between life and death.
Between life and death, it sounds a bit like the bardo in the world of Nioh, but the bardo is a temporary resting place on the way to the other side of the underworld, while between life and death is more like a crack space, a small space that relies on the present world but is not in the present world. It is similar to the divine realm where the Sakura Dragon is.
While thinking about all these things, Xia Yu's pace was not slow. Along the way, he met patrol soldiers from Xianfeng Temple. These monk soldiers had caused him a lot of trouble in the game, but in reality, he couldn't even scream. No matter how strong the monk soldiers were, they were still within the range of humans.
He also looted several Xizhilang money bags. These monk soldiers were richer than he had imagined.
Not long after, he arrived at the closed door of Xianfeng Temple.
According to the divine sense, there are many monks patrolling behind the door, but their life breath is not like that of ordinary monk soldiers.
Their lives are already riddled with holes, and there are still many holes in their bodies.
"An insect possessor?"
Xia Yu thought of this possibility. In pursuit of immortality, these monks might have been parasitized by the immortal centipede.
However, these monk soldiers seemed to have just been parasitized and did not even have the effect of immortality, otherwise they would not have been killed so easily.
When Xia Yu thought of the appearance of those parasites, he felt a chill. They were too disgusting. He might as well just burn them.
The temple here is only the front hall, not the main hall of Xianfeng Temple, so even if it burns to ashes, it will not affect the Illusion Corridor and Minion in the Oku-no-in Temple.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu first cast a breath-concealing spell on himself to completely hide his figure, and then walked directly into the temple.
There are many monks patrolling in the corridors of the temple, which is much more than the number of people in the game. Moreover, these monks are obviously not living people. Their eyes are dead and turbid, their necks are dry and gray, and there are grooves under their skin where insects have drilled.
For the first time, Xia Yu felt that having good eyesight was not a good thing. He not only saw the insects moving under his skin, but he could also see every detail clearly.
Feeling a little disgusted, he didn't hesitate and clapped his hands, instantly casting the barrier.
The phantom barrier covers the entire temple. This barrier not only prevents the monks from escaping, but also conceals everything that happens. He doesn't want to alert the enemy.
After completing the arrangement, Xia Yu casually threw down a ball of chaotic fire and left.
Let the fire cleanse everything!
Once all the souls within the barrier are burned out, the flames will extinguish themselves without fuel.
With flames rising into the sky behind him, Xia Yu went against the fire and continued to move forward along the avenue of Xianfeng Temple.
However, not long after they walked, the wooden bridge leading to the main hall above broke. In the game, they had to climb the mountain and find the way through the hook. For someone like him who didn't remember the way well, it was extremely unfriendly.
Fortunately, the game is not an open world, but a linear world. Even if you get lost, it’s not a big deal. You can always find the right way by going around in circles.
Then he found the bell ghost temple and foolishly rang the bell...
"Oh, yes. There is also a ghost sealed in the big bell."
Xia Yu slapped his head and remembered this. In the game, letting the bell ghost possess is equivalent to increasing the difficulty of the game by yourself. Then, if you hand in Jiulang's amulet from the second round, you can activate the popular double difficulty mode.
A real man would directly take on both difficulties and pass the level without taking any damage, while a fool would use the Undying Slash to escape class.
That's right, he is a fool when playing games. Not only does he use the Undying Slash to skip classes, he also uses the Ash Ball and Oil Flame to skip classes.
Thinking that the Bell Ghost was sealed in the big bell of Xianfeng Temple, Xia Yu used his spiritual sense to scan the entire cliff, and the next moment he found the Bell Ghost Buddhist Temple built halfway up the mountain.
The Bell Ghost Buddhist Temple looks like an ordinary Buddhist temple, with a large bell hanging in the center, which looks inconspicuous.
Generally, the Buddhist bells in temples are used for Buddhist ceremonies, such as summoning monks to the temple, chanting scriptures, doing homework, getting up, going to bed, and eating.
But the big bell in Xianfeng Temple was not built for this purpose. After all, the bell is halfway up the mountain. It would be better to raise a big black chicken to use it to tell time. At least the big black chicken is still capable of fighting and can give two claws to those who are not punctual.
When Xia Yu came in front of the big clock, he immediately felt a cold breath.
The bell ghost...
Xia Yu glanced at the inscription on the bell, put his hand on the bell, and the next moment, the bell disappeared.
"Really?"
Looking at the big clock in the red envelope, Xia Yu raised his eyebrows. Does this mean that the bell ghost is not a living being? Or does it mean that the chat group red envelope can actually send souls?
Uh...it seems that red envelopes can send souls. The soul world has sent souls to other people, and it seems that this was explained in the memory he received.
“…”
Xia Yu wanted to cover his face. If he had known earlier, he would have carefully looked through the received memories.
[Sekiro] @ [Dark Souls III]: Are you there? Can you help me refine the soul of the bell ghost?
[Dark Souls III]: Bell Ghost? Beg me!
[Sekiro]: …
【Sekiro】: Klee, please.jpg
[Dark Souls III]: What do you want to smelt? Weapons or accessories, it can't be soul essence, right?
[Sekiro]: Um, I don't know. You decide.
[Dark Souls III]: Then I will smelt it into a Disaster Ring.
[Sekiro]: No, I don’t have masochistic tendencies. Never mind. I won’t smelt it for now. I’ll think it over first.
[Dark Souls III]: …
…
After ignoring Ashes' foul mouth, Xia Yu closed the chat group. However, when it comes to soul smelting, it seems that the Headless and the Seven-Faced Warrior are also soul bodies.
After killing the Headless in the game, you will get the Imperial Spirit that can be used unlimitedly, but it will consume paper figures. The Seven-Faced Samurai will drop some important items.
It looks like I have to go find these two things next. It’s not a good idea to just leave them there.
After taking away the sealed bell ghost, there is nothing special on the rest of the journey.
Xia Yu burned the enemies along the way while slowly walking towards the main hall.
When passing by a suspended wooden passage on the only way, he was stopped by Robert's father, who was played by all the players. As for this foreigner who was incompatible with the entire Sekiro style, Xia Yu did not burn him to death like he did with the monk soldiers.
After all, he was just a poor old father who came to treat his son's illness, although his son named Robert had never been seen in the game.
Therefore, after Xia Yu showed off his magical power and his healing ability, the other party lowered his head.
The reason he surrendered so quickly was not because he was French, but because he had already discovered that the immortal power of Senbongji could not save his son at all.
But he only had this one hope, and he was unwilling to give up even if it was a false hope.
But now a real miracle appeared before his eyes. No matter how he thought about it, Xia Yu's side seemed more reliable than Xianfeng Temple, even though he had served Xianfeng Temple for many years.
Perhaps it was because his son had not received treatment for so many years that he immediately grasped another hope.
Xia Yu did not refuse Robert's father's loyalty. After all, treatment was a piece of cake for him, and the opponent's combat power was not low. At least even wolves could not break through his armor.
Therefore, Xia Yu wrote a personal letter and asked him to take his sick son to Ashina Castle.
Now he didn't need to scream "Robert" heartbreakingly, and he fell to death without any strength.
