Chapter 127: Five Ghosts Formation

'They turned me into what I am now and then left. I don't know what they wanted to do, but I found that I became more and more irritable and often wanted to destroy things around me. I wanted to go down the mountain. I also found that I couldn't leave the mountain originally, but now I can.'

'One day, I couldn't bear it any longer, so I sneaked down the mountain. I happened to meet a few people on the road. I followed them to the statue and saw them worshiping it. I was next to the statue at the time. I could clearly feel that I felt very comfortable when they were worshiping, but I didn't know why...'

Lu Hun didn’t know the reason, but Jin Jiu knew.

Because of the power of faith.

Worship is a kind of belief. The deer soul is a soul body. Standing next to the statue, it is regarded as taking advantage of the power of faith contributed by these people when they worship the statue. The power of faith can suppress resentment, so it feels comfortable.

However, Jinjiu did not explain to Lu Hun. She was still waiting for Lu Hun to continue.

'I thought it was an illusion, until later people came to pay their respects. I stood here and felt very comfortable every time. The manic feeling in my heart disappeared a lot, so I decided to stay here forever.'

"Then, why do you have a murderous aura? You must have killed humans before, right?"

"Yes, I did kill two humans, but that was because they deserved to die." Lu Hun admitted decisively.

Jinjiu didn't say anything, but waited for Lu Hun's next words.

'That day I was resting next to the statue, and then two male humans came here dragging an unconscious male human. I heard them say they wanted to bury the unconscious human. I could feel that the unconscious human was still breathing. In order to save him, I put the resentment in my body into the bodies of those two people.'

No wonder the deer soul said that it "should" have killed two people. It turned out that it did not do it directly, but used resentment, so it itself might not be sure whether those two people were dead or not.

'The two men went crazy with resentment in their bodies, and then ran down the mountain crazily. The unconscious human woke up the next day and thought that the statue had saved him, so he worshiped the statue. I don't know why, but I was very angry at the time. It was obviously me who saved him, but he actually thanked the statue...'

'I was very angry and my mind was a little confused. When I woke up again, I had become this statue. This statue was me and I was it.'

"Do you know why your mind is confused?" Jin Jiu looked at Lu Hun, and there was some doubt in Lu Hun's bloodshot eyes.

"Because you caused the deaths of the two people who were entangled by the resentment, the murderous aura in you became more severe, and the murderous aura indirectly affected the resentment, and you temporarily lost your mind."

Although from the current situation it seems that Lu Hun did this to save people, it does not mean that killing people in order to save people is not called murder. The sin that should be committed will still be there, it’s just a matter of severity.

But the deer soul already had resentment in it, which led to it losing its mind.

"So that's how it is..." the deer soul murmured.

But it must be said that this deer soul is quite powerful. The only time it injured someone was to save others.

Before this, it only survived by relying on the power of faith. Even after people died because of it, it became murderous and its resentment increased, but it did not continue to hurt people. Its endurance was truly amazing.

"Since you have no other sins, I can help you purify yourself, but before that, you need to tell me if there are other vengeful ghosts on this mountain."

At first Jinjiu thought that it was the soul of a deer that was haunting Qian Wanghai, but the vengeful ghost on Qian Wanghai was a weasel, and the one in front of him was a deer. These were obviously two completely unrelated creatures.

And the Deer Soul has never harmed anyone else, let alone a child.

After hearing what Jinjiu said, Lu Hun fell into thought, then shook his head. "I don't know, but I haven't seen other vengeful ghosts."

"Then did you see a boy about eight or nine years old coming to the statue and stealing the offerings the other day?"

"No." Lu Hun answered decisively.

After all, the former question happened a long time ago and requires some thought, but Qian Wanghai’s incident happened just a few days ago and there is no need to think about it too much.

Now that it is a statue of the god, it will definitely discover the theft of tributes.

Since it said no, it was either lying or it really didn't have anything. There is no possibility that Qian Wanghai stole the food but he didn't know about it.

"That is, a ghost deliberately placed its tribute here with you, and then a child ate the tribute and was entangled by the ghost." Jinjiu quickly guessed the truth.

Deer Soul was stunned for a moment, then seemed to have thought of something, and immediately said: "I remember that I left here for a while a few days ago, because I don't know what those humans down the mountain did, and I suddenly felt pain from the depths of my soul, so I wanted to go over and take a look."

Jinjiu frowned slightly and let Luhun lead the way.

Lu Hun obediently led the way, and then he really led Lu Hun to a place where he could see the road being built at the foot of the mountain.

In order to avoid being seen by the workers at the foot of the mountain, Jinjiu hid behind a tree. However, she could hide from the people at the foot of the mountain, but she could not hide from Lin Qian.

Lin Qian saw Jinjiu coming with a deer beside him, and it was a deer with a long tail, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Is the matter settled? Are you leaving now?"

“No.” Jin Jiu shook his head slightly, “I suspect the core of the formation on this mountain should be at the foot of the mountain, near where they plan to build the road.”

In fact, ever since he saw Wutong Mountain, Jinjiu had already discovered that this was a mountain shrouded in the "Five Ghosts Formation".

The so-called Five Ghosts Resentful Spirit Formation, to put it simply, is to arrange five resentful ghosts on the mountain, and then the mountain will be shrouded in resentment. Anyone who chooses to dig up the mountain will not have a good end.

This also explains why two groups of people wanted to develop Wutong Mountain before, but both failed.

Not only did they fail, but they also had to demolish the part they had built, because once the formation was violated, the only way to alleviate the impact of the formation was to restore Wutong Mountain to its original appearance. However, it was only a relief, not enough to prevent people from losing their lives.

But you will still suffer, and the whole family will suffer with you.

"So cruel?" After listening to Jin Jiu's explanation of the Five Ghosts Resentful Spirit Formation, Lin Qian couldn't help but smack her lips: "Is there any secret in this mountain? Why does it seem like someone is protecting this mountain?"

“I don’t know whether it is protected or not, but it is true that this mountain holds secrets.” But this secret will have to wait until later to be explored.

Jin Jiu has found a way to crack Wutong Mountain, so he didn't stay on the mountain for too long and took Lin Qian and Lu Hun directly down the mountain.
