Chapter 135. Liúshuǐ People (11) The Exchange Between Han Martial Arts and Miao Gu Techniques

     When the special agent team climbed halfway up the mountain, they saw a chaotic mass grave and the honest ghosts in the forbidden area. They roughly understood why they were so afraid of the “red-clothed female ghost.”.

     During the process of breaking the formation, due to the urgency of time, Ye Mo borrowed three drops of her own blood. Her blood, full of yang energy and vitality, produced a spiritual reaction similar to a Gu technique explosion when it encountered the extremely yin tomb. This caused the living animals and plants near the mass grave to die instantly.

     The villagers were only able to survive under the protection of the wood-elemental spirit array, and still sustained some injuries. There was no time or energy to conceal the chaotic scene, and in fact, whether or not to conceal it was not important. It would be fine to hand over these tombs to the state.

     For the ghosts, it was merely three drops of blood. The black ghost master they encountered before their death could absolutely not achieve such a thing!

     This made some of the ghosts who died in the thick yin finally recall their memory fragments before death, and naturally transferred their fear and hatred of the ghost master to Ye Mo.

     It is terrible to be shattered, and it is even more terrible to live a life worse than death in an endless alternative life.

     Ghosts are afraid of ghost masters, just like the level suppression of jungle beasts.

     Yuan Yuan the captain of the special agent team, speculated: “The 12 tourists from last night may have disturbed a newly awakened high-level ghost. This high-level ghost became enraged, which led to these consequences.”

     Vice-captain Yuan Lei: “It might also be a zombie. After all, this is a Miao village. Perhaps this red-clothed female corpse is the key to triggering a real-world instance.”

     More than one real copy has appeared in the survivor forum. Some survivors left messages in the forum before entering the copy, and some survivors refused. One of the survivors who refused the real copy sold the news to the Black Cobra Intelligence Bureau.

     According to the information of the spy, the Black Cobra Intelligence Bureau has sent people to join, and Bella is very likely to be one of them.

     The Supernatural Investigation Bureau ^[1]I changed the Unnatural Phenomena Investigation Bureau into the Supernatural Investigation Bureau has also added two instances: one at the former site of the Queen Mother of the West’s kingdom in Xinjiang, and the other at Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain. Both are triggered by encountering the White Jade Essence or a water monster.

     The triggering of real-world instances is highly dependent on luck. Some places have already shown anomalies, similar to the water monster and Yin Mountain, but they have consistently failed to find the key triggering points.

     However, regardless, China still has the highest number of discovered anomalies worldwide due to the spiritual energy revival, followed by India, then Iraq and Egypt, with many also in Europe, Central Asia, and East Africa.

     The Americas, North Africa, South Africa, and Oceania have relatively fewer, which is related to the duration of each ancient civilization. The indigenous civilizations of the Americas are relatively fewer, and many were overtly and covertly destroyed.

     Bella, the core of the King Cobra group, once failed to pass the FBI entrance exam precisely because she was neither white nor black. She possesses very pure Native American blood and is a rare highly educated indigenous person.

     Perhaps it was because Bella, as a rare indigenous woman with an elite education, deeply understood the suppression and discrimination against Native Americans by the American authorities, that she refused to join the “Freedom America” team and became one of the earliest organizers of the King Cobra group.

     The American side once mobilized many people, and Bella fled from North America to Central and South America. After a series of intense movements, she reached a temporary truce with the United States, but the relationship remains delicate.

     After the internal test copy ended, Bella, who was full of confidence, said to many countries that they were an international organization and did not represent any country. If they really wanted to represent, then it would be the American group.

     They slapped the United States in the face.

    Moreover, the United States is a federal country, and many of its states don’t quite listen to the federal government. They desire autonomy, and coupled with very wealthy and powerful capitalists, they’re eyeing the system’s store!

     Bella’s Black King Cobra group also has a considerable amount of capitalist backing, which explains her remarkable success. It’s uncertain whether the FBI regrets rejecting such an outstanding agent.

     In short, the year 2020 was quite chaotic in the United States, and India was similarly chaotic.

     The India government is not without organizers, but their clearance rate is very low. Moreover, the India women’s gang, led by Lani Shannon, has a very strong reputation and now has a very unified following of female believers. They will definitely be the ones to seize the India reality copies.

     The gender conflict in India is very serious now. The iron-blooded methods of the India women’s gang do make many men afraid. They oppose it every day on the Internet and in reality.

     The opposition behavior is the same as before, burning police cars and scolding the government, and adding scolding women.

     The India government: “…”

     The Middle Eastern countries have the purest beliefs. Their values follow their beliefs. They are still very unstable countries. There are too many countries in Europe. There are interest chains between countries. It is difficult to say whether to talk about it.

     Russia official group has a Pushkin, and they’re relatively united at the moment. However, their domestic civilization still lags behind ancient civilizations, so there aren’t many suspected reality instances appearing.

     In this light, China is the best.

     A famous ancient civilization, a large population, relatively united—if China and the United States switched positions, China’s current overall strength might lead to a situation where it’s isolated by many anti-China countries.

     It’s different now. China has more voice and freedom. It is already too busy to detect domestic reality copies alone. It is more confident when exchanging information with other organizations.

     Ye Mo, who heard the special agent team discussing more than a dozen reality copies: “…”

     They didn’t actually talk about much, just centered around the reality instances that had already been discovered, but she was able to understand quite a bit.

     …

     The special agent team stopped to simply clean up the mass grave and make a fence mark here.

     At the same time, the monks and Taoists tried different ways to save the dead souls, but it was still the same problem. The monks were not pious enough in chanting the scriptures, and the Taoists used too many fake tricks when saving the dead souls.

     However, when a monk holds the genuine tooth relic of Shakyamuni and meditates while reciting relevant Buddhist scriptures, his mind becomes much calmer due to the influence of the relic. Whether he is chanting sutras or tapping the wooden fish, the ghosts in the burial mound, whose emotions fluctuate greatly, show signs of becoming more or less tranquil.

     Similarly, the Ancestor whisk held by the Taoists Jingming, in addition to being able to dispel yin energy, subdue ghosts, and serve as a weapon, also enhances the power of authentic Taoist incantations. Especially in the Yin Mountain environment, where they can delete many seemingly unnecessary and cumbersome steps.

     Furthermore, an agent accidentally discovered that, in addition to ancient official seals and copper coins, modern police badges and non-new RMB also have the effect of warding off evil and providing defense against the weakest of those dark or grayish-looking ghosts.

     The Taoist explained solemnly, “It’s the righteous energy and yang energy. Perhaps we need to reduce the use of third-party payment software like WeChat or Alipay, so that there’s an increase in the circulation of physical RMB.”

     “…That makes some sense?”

     …

     The mass grave was one of the destinations of the special agent team, and the remaining one was the Miao village on the top of the mountain.

     When they first arrived at the Miao village, they were a little surprised.

     Because the whole mountain was wrapped in black fog, only the Miao village seemed to be protected by an invisible barrier. At least the plants in the village had not died, and some bright flowers were still blooming.

     The two policemen who came up last night didn’t see any ghosts because the ancestral spirits of the village, in order not to affect their descendants, took the initiative to go down under the golden nanmu pillars or go to the forbidden area of ​​ancestral tombs to avoid them.

     This place seems to be the only sunny place in the whole mountain.

     When the special agent team crossed the barrier, the piercing cold quickly dissipated, though a lingering chill remained on their bodies as the ice and frost on their clothes, skin, and hair gradually melted away.

     They didn’t rest, but instead divided into three groups to get to work.

     One group compiled basic data, such as the total population of the village, the male-to-female ratio, the housing ratio, and the soil quality of the fields. Simultaneously, doctors provided medical care to the sick villagers, administering intravenous fluids and prescribing medication.

     The villagers were actually in fairly good physical condition. Due to the effects of the Gu, their average lifespan before the spiritual energy revival was over 85 years, making them a renowned longevity village. The problem they were currently experiencing was a shortening of their lifespan.

     Therefore, doctors found that most of the elderly in the village have osteoporosis, hypothyroidism, decreased heart function, postural hypotension and other elderly problems, while others have serious endocrine disorders, including children under ten years old.

     The second wave of people, led by the villagers, walked around the village, especially paying attention to the golden nanmu and Gu worm breeding. They also looked at the Gu worm jars many times. They are obviously very interested in raising Gu.

     The villagers do not teach Gu directly. Some things still have to be kept. They know that the Han people have a lot of good things, so they can replenish the villagers who are definitely seriously injured this time.

     As for the golden nanmu that has been handed over to the country, or several Tang Sancai pottery jars worth billions, they don’t care about these.

     The remaining group of people, including the captain, deputy captain, and Taoist priest Jingming, were led by the village chief to see Mo Shenpo lying on the bed.

     She was the only witch in the village who was 90 years old. Regardless of her age and profession, she was seriously injured in the backlash of the forbidden spell this time. She had to take three drops of ghost tears in a row and carry a wood-type spiritual jade close to her body to save her life and continue to teach the next generation of witches.

     One of the ghost tears belonged to the white snake Gu in her body. She and it had a life-and-death relationship. As long as she had a breath, the white snake Gu could survive even if it was cut into pieces. It had stronger vitality than earthworms.

     Vice versa.

     To kill a person who raises their own Gu, you must kill the Gu and the person together.

     Although she was sick, Mo Shenpo still showed her excellent acting skills and super calm mentality. She chatted with Yuan Yuan, Guo Lei and others for more than two hours, answered some questions and went to bed.

     Dinner was eaten in the mountain village. Since many people were sick, the special agents basically did it themselves. Ye Mo and Wang Xue, who were also in the village, ate the village’s stock and the barbecue they hunted in the next mountain.

     On the second day, Mo Shenpo talked with the special agents twice. In the evening, they finally reached a consensus between Han Chinese martial arts and Miao witchcraft, agreeing to learn from each other, providing an additional path for the young men and women in the village.

     On the evening of the third day, the special agent team finally learned that this village was more than just a Miao village; it also possessed the ghost arts of a Shui people.

     Yuan Yuan & Guo Lei & Taoist Jingming: “…”

     At the same time, Ye Mo and Wang Xue finally finished their preparations and came to the foot of the mountain.
