Chapter 72 Hong Yi thinks about it day and night
“Finally unable to resist?”
Zhang Hao looked outside the house. He heard the movement coming from the back hall, and also heard Liu’s voice. San Lijun and others' words, but he had no intention of attacking them.
Not even the Ghost Bride has the will to attack.
Because at this time, the ghosts of the ghosts seem to be unable to resist the erosion of the ghost paintings.
There are portraits hanging on the walls of the surrounding houses, and there are even some picture frame-like things scattered on the ground.
Some picture frames are incomplete and some are broken. In short, there is no safe place here.
This is not a door god posted in a house, but a series of extremely weird portraits. Although the pictures are blurry, you can still feel the weird supernatural power on them.
"Bride, the ghost painting is here."
Zhang Hao slowly stood up and walked to the door.
I don’t know when, but two portraits were pasted on the two wooden doors of the mourning hall room.
What is even weirder is that at some point, falling paper dust appeared in the sky.
As the paper dust falls, the road has been completely divided by the paper dust.
A thick layer of paper dust formed on the road in front of the house and began to fall towards the houses on both sides - ghost paintings began to invade these houses.
Suddenly, a portrait fell from the sky and landed on the open space in front of the mourning hall.
Zhang Hao looked at the portrait and slowly picked it up.
There seemed to be some dust on the portrait, which blocked some of the content. He gently wiped the dust on it, hoping to reveal some of the content next to the portrait.
However, after he wiped the portrait clean, he was stunned for a moment.
The background of this portrait is a dark house with no light.
The door on the first floor of this house is open, and it is dark inside. It is exactly the same as the mourning hall where he is now. This portrait seems to have been taken at the gate of this house.
However, his attention was not on the identical house in the background, but on the two figures standing strangely on the portrait, one red and one white.
A white figure wearing a face covering is holding a red figure with a raised head and a hijab standing at the door of the mourning hall.
But the most bizarre thing is that from the outside of the mourning hall, it should be dark inside, but this photo clearly shows everything inside the mourning hall.
A vermilion coffin was placed on two wooden stools, with a burning brazier placed underneath. There were many unburned copper coins in the brazier.
A square table is placed in front of the coffin. On the table are several glasses of bright red wine and a portrait of a woman.
"Portrait?"
Zhang Hao frowned and suddenly turned his head to look behind him.
Sure enough, at some point, the ghost position was invaded by ghost paintings.
The photo that originally belonged to Zhang Hao on the spiritual throne changed into the appearance of a beautiful woman at some point, but her face was a little blurry.
Ghost paintings have the ability to invade any painting. The ghost figures are placed in front of the ghost coffin, completely becoming a medium for the ghost paintings to invade.
Zhang Hao looked at the spirit tablet and kept thinking about various possibilities in his mind.
The spirit in front of you is definitely not the ghost painting itself.
Because the body of the ghost painting has been nailed by a gold candlestick, it is impossible to truly enter the painting.
Although he is now among the ghosts of ghosts, he also belongs to the ghosts of ghost paintings. Ghost paintings cannot really appear in front of him.
“Do you want to follow the spirit tablets and go out to find ghost paintings?”
Zhang Hao fell into thinking in his heart.
Once he leaves the ghost coffin, it will not be so easy for him to successfully control the ghost coffin.
On one side is the ghost coffin, which is almost completely in control, except that it cannot control the ghost coffin.
On one side was the ghost painting that had not been controlled yet, which made Zhang Hao hesitate for a while.
But soon, Zhang Hao made a decision.
His instinct as a ghost slave made him give up the idea of prioritizing strengthening himself and chose to complete the puzzle for the bride first.
This is an instinct that cannot be controlled, and it is also the core and underlying logic why Zhang Hao’s consciousness was not wiped out by the ghost bride after he became a ghost slave.
Helping the Ghost Bride grow is his core goal.
The first time the two conflicted, core logic defeated his instinct.
Furthermore, as long as you master the ghost paintings, it is not difficult to find ghosts in the ghost paintings.
It's just that the ghost bride has not yet mastered the ghost painting, so it will be very troublesome to move among the ghost paintings.
"Bride, come with me."
Zhang Hao took the bride, took back the blood wine he controlled, took a look at the ghost coffin, and quickly took the ghost bit and came The previous portrait showed Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride at the same time.
It’s not just the Ghost Bride looking for ghost paintings.
After Gui Hua successfully invaded Gui Cha's Gui Xin and became aware of the existence of the Ghost Bride, Gui Hua was also looking for the Ghost Bride.
However, because the ghost painting cannot truly enter the world in the painting, she can only continuously invade the area of the mourning hall where the ghost bride is located, and derive various portraits here.
Gui Xie wants to leave Gui Hua. Since Gui Xie cannot defeat Gui Hua, there is only one way.
That is to leave through the derived portrait.
As Zhang Hao and the bride walked out of the mourning hall, the painting in front of them suddenly became much larger, and the supernatural power on it changed.
Not only that, even the content of the painting has undergone tremendous changes.
The entrance to the mourning hall where Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride were standing suddenly enlarged until it covered the entire portrait, and finally turned into something like a picture frame.
This is after the ghost painting sensed the ghost bride leaving the mourning hall, and instinctively attracted the ghost bride, causing the portrait held by Zhang Hao to change supernaturally.
Zhang Hao just looked at this painting, and as he looked at it, he suddenly discovered that the standing red and white figure in the painting suddenly disappeared from the painting, leaving only a dark mourning hall.
Zhang Hao came back to his senses and looked around. The positions of himself and the ghost bride had changed at some point.
Before, he and the ghost bride were standing in front of the mourning hall, but now they were standing in an open space.
And a road strangely appeared under his feet, which connected to a city avenue in the distance, seeming to lead him into that dead city.
It’s just that the road that appeared was twisted and irregular, as if it was drawn with a random stroke.
Zhang Hao didn't think too much and took the ghost bride towards the big city shrouded in darkness in the distance, which was the center of the ghost painting.
After walking to that place, find another painting and go out. You should be able to see the ghost painting.
As he walked forward, he found that the world of ghost paintings looked very big.
But in fact, when you left, the city that was far away quickly appeared in front of you. This situation was very unreasonable, and the sense of distance seemed to have been changed.
This seems to be the ability of ghosts, which is described in the book.
But Zhang Hao himself doesn’t have ghosts, so he doesn’t understand it very well.
As they continued to advance, Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride soon entered a dead city.
Walking on the deserted and silent street, he suddenly stopped and looked at a shop on the road next to him.
He could feel that there seemed to be something watching him over there.
There was something that triggered Zhang Hao's murderous pattern.
In this place, Zhang Hao did not suppress his thoughts of killing, and followed him in that direction.
A whimpering sound soon came from inside.
Zhang Hao walked over and realized that this was not the ghost in the ghost painting, but a person.
A European and American woman with blond hair had a sad look on her face and was kneeling down with tears in her eyes.
"It turned out to be a living person, but he actually dared to keep looking at me after he noticed something was wrong with me. His courage is commendable."
Zhang Hao did not appear because of the death of this European and American woman. What idea, let alone the idea of exploring the survivor base where European and American women are located.
Many people did not die after being involved in the world of ghost paintings.
There is food and water in the world of ghost paintings. As long as you are not unlucky enough to be killed by a ghost, you can live in the world of the paintings for a lifetime.
Obviously, this woman is the less lucky one.
Obviously living in the world of paintings, you should already know that the source of the ghost paintings is the woman in red.
When I saw Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride, instead of running away, I kept looking at them curiously.
As they continued to move forward, Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride soon discovered an old building.
This is a residential building from European and American countries. Behind the narrow gate, a deep corridor extends into the house.
You can vaguely see the stairs winding around in the dim environment, connecting the upper and lower floors together.
This seems to be the core location of the ghost painting world.
Walking into the narrow, dark and depressing corridor of this building, a cold, damp breath hit my face.
It can be seen that this house is quite old and has not been renovated, making it look particularly dilapidated.
Even if he is abroad, even if Zhang Hao doesn't know much about foreign countries, he can guess that this should be a building from the last century.
"Creak!"
Stepping on the stairs, the wooden stairs made a grinding sound. This sound echoed up and down the floor, making it particularly weird and eerie. As the ghost bride also walked up the stairs, the sound came from upstairs again.
Zhang Hao listened to the voice and raised his head.
This sound did not come from the steps at the foot, but from upstairs.
In other words, there was a person upstairs who stepped on them at the same time as they walked up the steps.
“No, it should be a ghost.”
Zhang Hao did not hesitate, holding the bride with one hand and raising the other.
Faced with such unknown and powerful ghosts, recruiting ghosts is always the easiest way.
As Zhang Hao kept waving, the sound of "crunching" sounded again upstairs, as if something was coming downstairs.
The sound quickly reached the steps in front of Zhang Hao, but strangely, Zhang Hao didn't see anyone.
This is an invisible ghost. Zhang Hao tried to make it leave the steps, but failed.
This ghost should have some relationship with this wooden step.
“Let’s go.”
After confirming Li Gui’s situation, Zhang Hao did not continue to care and took the bride up the steps.
The ghost has been controlled by the summoning ghost. For a short period of time, even if they violate the ghost's killing rules without attracting the ghost, they will not be attacked.
Crossing the steps, Zhang Hao and the ghost bride came to the second floor.
The second floor has a concrete floor and there is no danger. Zhang Hao looked at it for a few times and then continued to take the ghost bride upstairs.
I walked all the way to the fourth floor, and encountered a few ghosts during the process, but none of them attacked Zhang Hao and the ghost bride.
Fierce ghosts will also seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Given the difference in horror level, as long as they do not violate the other party's killing rules, those ghosts will instinctively stay away from ghosts that are more terrifying than themselves.
Zhang Hao saw some modern clothes on these ghosts.
These should be the ghosts that the ghost master was killed in this place and wandered around this building after reviving.
Because of the existence of these ghosts, Zhang Hao is even more certain that this place is the core of the ghost painting world.
Zhang Hao took the bride to a room on the fourth floor and started looking for ghost paintings.
But the moment he opened the door, he immediately heard the sound of something falling to the ground from behind the door. It seemed that he hit something in the room because of the action of opening the door just now. .
Zhang Hao looked down and was stunned.
That is a painting.
There is nothing in the painting, just darkness. At first glance, it looks like a piece of black paper has been mounted on the frame, without any pattern, and the scenery is on top.
But it is different from ordinary black paper. The black on this painting is thick and light. The shadow of the black changes with the movement of the light. Sometimes it looks like a palm, sometimes like a hand. The silhouette of a human face hidden in the darkness.
But more often than not, the two black spots in this painting are like a pair of black pupils, peeping in the dark.
A very strange painting, but not a ghost painting.
There is probably a ghost hidden in this painting, or a ghost is hiding in the frame waiting for the opportunity to leave.
“Is he trapped inside? Or is it a ghost related to the painting?”
Zhang Hao stared at the painting for a long time, and finally decided to pick it up first Get up and check the situation in the room again.
However, the moment he turned his head to see clearly what was going on in the room, he was stunned.
The walls and even the ceiling of each room are covered with various paintings, which vary in size.
The contents of the paintings are different, but the only thing is the same, that is, the backgrounds of these paintings are very dark and depressing.
“Everyone here is a ghost?”
Zhang Hao could feel that many of these paintings contained ghosts.
“So, this painting is not a ghost related to the painting, but a ghost trapped in the painting?”
Zhang Hao glanced at the painting he picked up and immediately dropped it on the ground.
This is just a ghost imprisoned by a ghost painting with a portrait, and it is not of any help to him.
On the contrary, it is this room where all kinds of strange paintings are listed. The picture frame from which the ghost paintings originated is most likely in this room.
Observing the paintings above, Zhang Hao soon saw a familiar painting.
The staircase in the painting is exactly the same as the wooden staircase I stepped on just now. No, this painting is based on that staircase.
This is the place I just walked through.
“Ghost paintings should be the world in the paintings pieced together through the paintings in the room.”
Zhang Hao looked at the paintings above. In addition to the staircase painting just now, Zhang Hao I also discovered a lot of places I have walked through.
Soon, a special painting appeared in front of him.
The painting showed a gray sky, under which a village located in the fields was looming.
The village was drawn with black dye, blurry, with only a rough outline.
But Zhang Hao felt very familiar with everything in that village. The outlines of many houses in the village were spliced together, forming a vague shape of a coffin in the distance.
And there is a sign standing in the most obvious place of the painting. There are three words written on the sign, but the writing is blurry and one can only roughly identify a certain village.
This should be the name of a village.
He is familiar with this village, and he is even more familiar with the coffin-shaped ghost realm. This is Huanggang Village where Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride were previously.
At this time, it was also painted by ghost paintings and pieced together to form part of the world in the painting.
In addition to ghosts, Zhang Hao also saw a painting worthy of his attention. The background of the painting was an old bungalow in the countryside, with an old man standing at the door of the bungalow.
The old man's figure is blurry and his clothes are neat. Although the outline of his facial features is not clear enough, it can still be seen that the old man is smiling and seems to be looking here.
The original painting combined with the background and the old man with a strange smile instantly makes people feel like they are facing a portrait.
“A ghost related to funerals or portraits.”
"If you master ghost paintings in the future, you must go to this place to have a look." Zhang Hao was very interested in this ghost.
He felt that if he went to the place where the portrait of the old man was, he would definitely be able to help him.
Zhang Hao remembered the portraits of the ghost and the old man, and then walked towards the house.
Soon, a painting much larger than the other paintings appeared in front of him.
This painting is very long, hanging from the roof to the feet.
The background of the painting is high-rise buildings, but what is really being painted is a building.
A building shrouded in a dark world.
This building has seven floors in total. It is exactly the same as this building.
What worries Zhang Hao most is that there is a ghost standing at the door downstairs of this building.
This ghost is very familiar. It is wearing red clothes. Although her facial features are blurred, she should be a woman. Her hands are white and reveal an indescribable weirdness.
"Ghost painting! Downstairs? How is that possible?"
Zhang Hao was a little confused. The body of the ghost painting should not be able to appear in the world in the painting.
Each painting here actually corresponds to a scene in the world of ghost paintings.
Once you come to the scene painted in the painting, there is a high probability that you will encounter the evil ghost wandering in that place.
But the scene in the painting is not always like that. The content of the painting will constantly change according to what actually happens.
But soon, after Zhang Hao walked out of the house, he saw the figure that made him think about it day and night.
A strange woman in red stood at the door of the first floor. At this time, the woman was stepping on the wooden steps and slowly walking upstairs.
The moment Zhang Hao saw the woman in red downstairs, the ghost bride also came out.
Through Zhang Hao, she also noticed the woman in red outside.
However, Zhang Hao, who was standing at the door, looked at the woman who kept going upstairs and quickly noticed something unusual.
That thing didn't feel that scary to Zhang Hao, and it wasn't the source ghost.
“Is it just a derived ghost painting?”
“But it’s okay, let the bride get the supernatural power of this derived ghost painting first, and then the bride will fight against the ghost painting "
Although both Ghost Bride and Ghost Painting are unintelligent, the two ghosts will still compete for dominance when completing their tasks.
Zhang Hao naturally hopes that his bride can become the leading party.
It's not that there is any difference to him between the bride being controlled by the ghost painting and the ghost painting being controlled by the bride. They are both the same.
It’s just because Zhang Hao is now the ghost slave of the ghost bride, not the ghost slave of the ghost painting.
That’s why he helped the Ghost Bride take the lead.
Let’s re-define the rules for adding updates. Because there are more updates every day due to daily reasons, the new rules are just an addition and are quite harsh. After all, each update is 5,000 words. It's so easy to take so long to finish that the author will die suddenly.
New update rules: one update will be added if the accumulated monthly votes of 500 yuan are accumulated, and one update will be added if the accumulated rewards are 100 yuan.
