Chapter 8 The Ancestor of the Ye Family

It was pitch black all around, Ye Fan opened his divine sense to observe the surroundings, and couldn't help but surprise Ye Fan, this was actually a room, to be precise, a room underground, the room was fully furnished, just like a home. And the aura in the room is rich, hundreds of times stronger than the outside.

Ye Fan was shocked and stepped out of the water, Ye Fan reached out and took out a piece of fluorite from the Ruyi ring, and held the fluorite high to illuminate the surroundings. It was a room of twenty square meters, with a table in the middle, and the walls around it were full of closets with a lot of things on it, and there was a door to the west of the room, but there was no door panel, and it seemed that there was a room inside. And Ye Fan could clearly feel that the source of the rich aura in the room was in the room inside.

Suddenly, a voice came out of it, laughing and crying.

"Who is it?" Ye Fan asked.

The voice stopped abruptly, and after a few moments, an old voice floated in, "Come in, boy! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Do you recognize me?" Ye Fan's face was shocked, could it be that there were still living people in it?

Ye Fan cautiously approached the door, and when he arrived at the door, Ye Fan looked in through the fluorescence, and saw that there was only one bed in the room, and there was a thin human figure crossed on the bed. Ye Fan could clearly sense that the emaciated human form was a dried corpse that had been dead for a long time but had not decomposed.

Could it be that the ghost is talking, Ye Fan immediately denied this idea, he didn't feel any yin aura anymore, besides, the aura here is lush, and the ghost can't survive. Just when Ye Fan was full of doubts and wandered, the old voice came out again, "Come in! I won't hurt you, and I can't hurt you!"

Ye Fan was surprised to find that the voice was actually coming from the corpse, Ye Fan didn't go in, and said at the door: "Boy Ye Fan, I don't know what kind of master the predecessor is, please show up!"

"Haha...... Haha," the dry corpse burst out laughing, ending with bitterness. "I can't imagine that some of the descendants of my Ye family have cultivated the true way to become immortals, haha...... Haha!"

"Don't be afraid, I'm just a spirit! You can let me show up, but don't make a move on me, my spirit can't withstand your blow. After speaking, a burst of white gas emerged from the chest of the dry corpse, and the white gas rose and became thick, almost becoming substance, and finally condensed into a white-haired old man.

"Spirit!" Ye Fan secretly exclaimed in his heart, "It's really a spirit!" It's just that his master's spirit body is like an entity, and how can this person's spirit body be so illusory.

"Seniors?" Ye Fan no longer has the slightest fear, for such a spirit, with Ye Fan's current means, it can be easily killed, and there is no difference between killing those ghosts and evil spirits. It's just that there was a spirit body cultivating in the well of the Ye family's old mansion, and he was a little surprised.

The white-haired old man didn't answer Ye Fan's question, but just looked at Ye Fan kindly and asked, "You are very strange, why am I like this?"

Ye Fan didn't hide it, he nodded directly and said: "The spirit body of the seniors is different from what I saw, and the juniors really feel strange!"

The old man smiled wryly, "Yes, you are seeing a real spirit body, and mine is only a superficial appearance, because I am a spirit body cultivator. ”

When Ye Fan heard this, he suddenly realized, I see!

It has been recorded in the collection of books left by Master Ziwei Tianzun that the spirit body is also a means for mortals to cultivate immortals, compared to Ye Fan's practice of qi incarnation, the practice of ascending to the flesh is different, the spirit body cultivation of immortals is a kind of ancient warlock cultivation method, pay attention to the intention of cultivating the spirit, break the way with the mind, and finally achieve the spirit body with the spirit body out of the body, and wait for the spirit body to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and condense into the essence to fly to the immortal world, most of the people who practice the spirit body are stoic people, not afraid of life and death, and ask the immortals wholeheartedly, because if you want to make the spirit out of the body, it is not a natural death can be done, the usual method is to starve yourself, stick to your faith before death, and come out of the spirit with your mind and persistence, just as those evil evils generally have strong resentments before death, resulting in reluctance to step into samsara.

But this is a super difficult path, first of all, after the primordial spirit is separated from the body, it is an extremely difficult thing to cultivate the spirit body, the cultivation of the spirit body is extremely demanding on the environment, it must be cultivated in a place where the spirit energy is abundant, and it takes a long time for the spirit energy to be conceived, it is possible to condense into a spirit body, but with the current environment of the earth, it is completely impossible to complete the cultivation of the spirit body. Secondly, when the spirit of the spirit body cultivator is separated from the physical body, it is extremely fragile, even a gust of wind can blow it away, just ask how there is such a safe place in the world for him to cultivate, it is not surprising why this old man would cultivate in the well.

can be like the old man in front of him, the person who meets those two conditions is not only few, but simply one in billions. Even so, the probability of the old man becoming an immortal is extremely low, and almost the final result is that the spirit body is annihilated in the thunder tribulation and disappears.

Seeing that Ye Fan was silent in thought, the old man asked, "You are the Ye family, I can feel that the bloodline of your body is connected with me!"

Ye Fan was taken aback and asked, "The seniors are also members of the Ye family?"

The old man bowed his head and said, "Yes, old man Ye Beicang!"

"You...... You, the little son Ye Fan, meet the ancestor. With that, Ye Fan hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to worship the old man. Ye Beicang, Ye Fan is too familiar, every time he worships his ancestors during the New Year, his father will take out the Ye family tree from the ancestral hall, and the name on the first page of the family tree is Ye Beicang, Ye Fan clearly remembers that Ye Beicang was born in Jiajing 16 years and died in Chongzhen 10 years, and is the ancestor of the Ye family in Xiuchuan.

"Hehe," the old man stretched out his hand to lift Ye Fan, "Old man, I have been in this well for almost four hundred years, I can sense the changes of the Ye family's descendants in this well for hundreds of years, but I can't do anything," the old man sighed lightly, "That is, in recent years, my spirit body has condensed into what it is now, that day you came to the Ye family, the old man sensed your blood connection, so he made a movement in the well, and then saw you leave again, the old man was so sad, I thought I had no chance to see you again, but I didn't expect to see you again today, the old man's wish is enough!"

"Why didn't the ancestor ...... that day" Ye Fan asked this, and he knew the answer, the water blocks yin and yang, with the current realm of the ancestor, it is not easy to make movement in the well, and it can come out there!

Ye Beicang stopped when he saw that Ye Fan was halfway through the question, knowing that he already knew the reason, and sighed lightly.

"Please forgive the ancestor, the junior is stupid, the ancestor did not understand the meaning of the ancestor that day! Let the ancestor wait for another day. Ye Fan kowtowed to Ye Beicang again to apologize.

Ye Beicang waved his hand gently, "It's okay, it's okay, the old man hasn't sensed the people of the Ye family for decades, I thought that the Ye family was extinct, and I was very happy to see you!

Ye Fan then told Ye Beicang what he knew about the Ye family. Ye Beicang couldn't help but sigh, lamenting the changes in the world. In the end, Ye Fan asked, "I don't know why the ancestor became the way he is now?"

Ye Beicang told Ye Fan about his own affairs, Ye Beicang Jiajing was born in 16 years, and later entered Beijing to take the exam, won the fame, became a petty official in a small place in Baishan, married a wife and had children, and his life was stable. Later, Baishan was harassed by the Jurchens, and the war disasters continued, so Ye Beicang abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown of Southern Province, where he inadvertently obtained a cultivation scripture "Taiyi Self-cultivation Sutra" and devoted himself to cultivation at home without asking about the world. In the year of the Apocalypse, Ye Beicang fled with his family to Xiuchuan, which is now this place, due to the uprising of the peasant army. In order to become an immortal, Ye Beicang secretly dug a well at home to build this secret room, he was 100 years old, he secretly lived in the secret room of the well to go on a hunger strike, at that time his children and grandchildren thought he had died in the sky, and also held a funeral for him, and then the water level of the well rose, there was no hole, and Ye Beicang has been buried until now.

"Dare to ask the ancestor, I don't know why the aura here is so lush?" Ye Fan always had this question in his heart, how could there be such an abundant aura on the earth where the aura was depleted.

Ye Beicang smiled, "That can be regarded as an old man's creation, and he got a strange stone on Qilin Mountain, so the aura here will be like this, otherwise even if I have been cultivating here for thousands of years, I may not be able to reach the current state." With that, Ye Beicang turned around and pointed to his dried corpse's chest. "You can see for yourself!"

Ye Fan got up curiously, came to the ancestor corpse, and said to Ye Beicang: "Offended the ancestor!" After speaking, he gently uncovered the front shirt of the corpse, and saw a yellow, orange and orange jade pendant hanging on the ancestor's chest.

"This ...... This is the Spirit Root Stone!" Ye Fan couldn't help but exclaim, "How is this possible, how can there be a Spirit Root Stone on the earth!"

Linggen Stone is also known as Lingshi Ancestor, Ye Fan learned from his master that even in the fairy world, it is a very rare existence, and countless sects in the fairy world are killing in order to snatch a Linggen stone, and it is not uncommon to destroy the sect for the Linggen Stone. The spiritual root stone is different from the spiritual stone, the spiritual stone is just a one-time product, the spiritual energy is exhausted, the spiritual stone is useless, and the spiritual root stone is different, it can be used repeatedly, and the spiritual energy will automatically absorb the surrounding spiritual energy to replenish when the spiritual energy is exhausted, and the spiritual energy will never be exhausted, which is the treasure of heaven and earth.

"My Yuan Shen is attached to this jade pendant every day, so that I can cultivate so far!"

"Oh, can the Ancestor attach to the jade pendant?" Ye Fan asked with a puzzled expression.

"Yes, originally I got this strange stone and made people make this jade pendant, and took it to my chest every day to practice, but then I turned into a Yuan Shen but found that there was a gap in this jade pendant, my Yuan Shen could hide inside, and the space inside was very large, quite wonderful. ”

"Oh!" Ye Fan carefully observed and found that there was an undetectable gap in the jade pendant, and he felt that gap with his divine sense, as the ancestor said, the space in the gap was huge, and it was dozens of square meters in size, which was similar to his own Ruyi ring. Ye Fan sighed secretly, the magic of creation in this world.

Ye Fan sensed that he had been underwater for a long time, lest something happen to him. So he said to Ye Beicang: "Don't hide it from the ancestor, the junior has been down for a long time, I'm afraid that the people above are worried, I don't know, what is the ancestor's plan?"

Ye Beicang sighed leisurely: "You take me out, I've been here for too long, I want to see this current world, otherwise what's the point of living for ten thousand years!"

Ye Fan asked tentatively, "Can I take you out with this jade pendant?"

"That's good!" Ye Beicang nodded, knowing that Ye Fan couldn't stay for a long time, he didn't hesitate, and turned his spirit body into a white smoke and hid in the jade pendant.

Seeing this, Ye Fan didn't delay any longer, hung the jade pendant on his chest, and turned around to leave the secret room underground.
