Holy Bone

Chapter 1655 Entering the Ghost Ship

This ritual of "Duren Jing" lasted for half a day.

Actually.

The real resentment and obsession that this ritual is intended to exorcise are not the human skins, but the ghost ship beneath your feet that has suffered a shipwreck and is carrying a boatload of dead people.

There were too many human skins and too many dead souls to be liberated in one or two days. Wutou Jinan did not expect to complete the liberation in one day at the beginning.

He first gave these wandering ghosts in the darkness hope and light, calmed their minds and lives, and soothed their hatred and obsession, and then he used the next ten days or half a month to slowly guide and influence them.

It is important to save human skin, but it is more important to save ghosts and ghost ships.

After all, when it comes to the depth of resentment and obsession, the ghost ship in front of us is the one with the deepest resentment.

The solution is to deal with the ghost ship first, and then deal with the human skins.

Even if it was not for the clue of the Gewu Immortal Cauldron, just because when he was fighting with the prisoner ship ghost ship just now, the ghost ship stayed with him and treated him as a real crew member, helping him several times. The cause and effect between him and the ghost ship has already been established, and he must repay this cause and effect. He must resolve the ghost ship's resentment and obsession, help it to reincarnate, and have a good ending with good causes and good results.

After reciting the "Duren Jing", the resentment on the ghost ship was not as intense as at the beginning and calmed down temporarily. Wutou Jinan decided to explore the ghost ship again to find out the truth about the shipwreck.

In addition to the above reasons, there was actually another reason why he decided to explore the truth of the ghost ship so quickly, and that was the souls of a group of Shinto masters he saw at the port of Haizhou Prefecture when he was fighting against the prison ship and ghost ship.

Those people came for the Gewu Xianding, and he would come into contact with them sooner or later, so he had to seize the initiative at every step and find the secret of the ghost ship earlier than those people.

Only in this way can we resolve the resentment and obsession of the ghost ship before those people board the ship and conflict breaks out, and send the souls on this ship into reincarnation as soon as possible.

Although he had only been in the underworld for a dozen days, he had somewhat fallen in love with the crew members on this ship who had the warmth of the underworld. Just because they were willing to rush to save him, he would never let the souls on this ship become like those human-skin sails on the prison ship, becoming lonely ghosts on the road to the underworld, restless in life and after death.

So he had to make some changes.

Headless Jin'an stood up, then put the densely packed human skins spread out on the deck into the stomach bag around his waist. Next, he did not rush to explore the secret of the ghost ship, but found the one-eyed paper man and continued to wipe the blood that had newly seeped into the seams of the deck, his figure busy and bustling.

This is called fulfilling a vow.

Gratitude.

It is also called not forgetting your original intention.

He has always been that hardworking crew member and a member of the ship.

At the same time, it is also to influence the ghost ship again and soothe the resentment of those who died unjustly.

Perhaps it was because the "Duren Jing" ritual presided over by Wutou Jin'an really had an effect and soothed some of his resentment and obsession. When he was diligently scrubbing the blood from the hull, he found that the speed at which blood seeped out of the cracks in the wooden boards had slowed down compared to before.

There was nothing on his neck, revealing a clean severed head wound. Headless Jin'an was delighted, thinking that his series of actions were indeed effective.

It also indirectly proves that this ghost ship can still be saved, redeemed, and have a chance to be reincarnated.

Only after the ghost ship was cleansed and incense sticks were lit from bow to stern as a token of his gratitude did he come to the hatch that was nailed shut and hung with garlic and silver exorcism utensils.

This time, he felt a little heavier and more persistent, because he had more vows and promises in his heart than when he first boarded the ship more than ten days ago.

  This time, just like the previous times, the divine consciousness could not pass through the hatch and directly see what was going on inside the cabin. However, in order to save the ghost ship before other forces arrived and send it back to reincarnation, Wutou Jinan made a completely different decision this time. He planned to pry open the nailed doors and windows to see what secrets were locked behind the hatch.

Before today, he had some concerns and did not want to offend the ghost ship, but after today's joint fight against the prison ship ghost ship, Wutou Jin'an felt more confident and his mind became active.

Headless Jin'an suddenly raised his hands and clasped his fists, bowing towards the garlic and silverware hanging on the door frame. He was paying tribute to the heroes who died here to defend the country.

From now on, he will continue to exorcise evil and defend the truth, and the righteous path will not perish.

After paying his respects, Wutou Jinan began to remove the wooden bars that were nailed to the doors and windows. Strangely enough, the removal was surprisingly smooth.

All the wooden strips were removed smoothly without any strange incidents or other ominous signs.

It is not known whether the exorcists who died on the ship were protecting him in the dark, or whether his many good deeds today had touched the ghost ship and made it recognize him, so they allowed him to come and go freely on the ship.

Squeak!

A cold sound of a door being pushed open was heard over the silent and foggy sea. The door hinges made a terrifying, teeth-grinding friction, as if a seal that had been sealed for a long time was pushed open. Headless Jin'an pushed lightly with his palm, and the cabin door was easily opened.

call--

An extremely strong, nauseating smell of blood rushed towards me, like a damp and sticky cold wind blowing on the severed neck, making the hair stand on end.

Headless Jinan has no head now, otherwise the fishy and cold wind would blow on his face.

Feeling the strange cold wind, Headless Jinan subconsciously raised his hand to touch his neck, then put his hand in front of him and spread it out to check. His palm was clean and there was no sticky foreign object on his neck.

Strange ghost ship, strange smelly cold wind.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he shifted his gaze from his palm to behind the cabin door.

It's dark behind the door.

It is so dark that it can swallow up all light coming in from the outside.

Even the soul-guiding lamp held in the headless Jin'an's hand could not illuminate the dark world behind the door. The green candlelight could only illuminate a circle around the threshold, swaying faintly in the sea breeze.

Looking at the empty and dark world behind the cabin door, Headless Jinan was a little surprised.

He thought that the back of the cabin would be filled with corpses and there would be no place to step, so blood would seep out from the cracks all the time.

He saw that the soul-guiding lantern in his hand could not illuminate the dark world behind the cabin door, so he pushed the soul-guiding lantern forward a little further and extended it into the cabin.

The green candlelight emitted a faint light, which could only illuminate the area around the lantern. The environment outside the lantern was still as dark as ink and could not be seen clearly.

Headless Jin'an looked down at the ground beneath his feet, which was barely illuminated by the lantern, and saw a thick layer of blood on the cabin floor, which looked like the traces of many people struggling in pain in the cabin, or like the traces of many corpses being dragged on the ground.

The bloodstains had not completely dried up, but were half dry and half wet, smelly and sticky, making it impossible to step on them.

The area illuminated by the lantern was very limited. Apart from the bloodstains on the floor, the rest of the cabin was dark and unknown how dangerous it was.

It seems that I can only go in and explore a little bit myself...

Wutou Jinan stood outside the door without hesitation for too long, and stepped decisively into the dark world...
