Chapter 551: Capturing the Dead Soul

As soon as they came to the ghost world, the appearance of the ghost general Wuxiang gave them a dismount, but since there is no turning back, no matter how dangerous there is ahead, everyone can only go on hard.

Another point, Ye Shuo had already reminded them before that in order to fill Jialuo's soul, not all dead souls are applicable, and the substitute must be consistent with Jialuo's birth date and spiritual root attributes. But even if this is the case, it does not mean that it will be absolutely successful. To be on the safe side, it's best to grab a few more to spare at the beginning.

"Garo, when is your birthday?"

Jia Luo hesitated for a moment and replied, "On the 17th day of the third month of the year of Bingchen, Yin Shi. Heavenly Spirit Root. ”

Ye Shuo nodded, his gaze hurriedly swept among the many dead souls wandering on the street, the soul master's perception fully dispersed, and he quickly raised his hand and pointed one by one: "That one fits, do you see? There is also that one over there, and that ......" In just one street, there were actually four or five dead souls who were in harmony with Jia Luo.

Xu Yuan smacked his lips and sighed: "I have always felt that the requirements for the eight characters of birth and the attributes of the spiritual root are exactly the same, such harsh conditions, we just turn the ghost world over, and it would be good to find one or two suitable ones." I didn't expect this to be a good start...... "said, jokingly patting Jia Luo's shoulder: "Jia Luo, it seems that you really have a good time!"

The initial task assignment was for Xu Yuan and Gongsun Zhiqi to open the soul detention bag, Jia Luo and Ye Jingyan to control the wind, and Ye Shuo to hold the soul bead, looking for suitable prey.

"Alas, these dead souls could have been reincarnated after eliminating their attachments, but now we have to fill our souls with them...... Isn't it also a bad reason?" After a long time, Xu Yuan rubbed his arm, which was a little sore due to maintaining a high posture for a long time, and asked sullenly.

This kind of kind thought at an inopportune time, Ye Shuo originally didn't want to pay attention to it. When he really steps into society alone, he will know that there are many more cruel than this, and it is completely unrealistic to talk about saving the world before he has the ability to protect himself.

But Gongsun Zhiqi and Jia Luo also showed hesitation one after another when they considered this problem. In the final analysis, they are still students who have just graduated, and their understanding of the world is still at the academy stage, staying in the concept of those books, and it is obviously not so easy for them to understand the law of the jungle at once.

"So, see that the dead souls are black and white? In order to dispel the guilt of several people, Ye Shuo still made a certain trade-off.

"The soul with obsessions has good and bad obsessions. Assuming that the white dead souls are thinking about their relatives in the yang world, then the black dead souls are just thinking about revenge. The reason why souls are dyed black is because of the karmic retribution they leave behind. We don't need to be merciful to an evil spirit like that. ”

"But will the karma entangled in them hurt Jia Luo's soul?" Gongsun Zhiqi didn't seem to understand when she heard it, but she still thought about Jia Luo first.

Ye Shuo said with relief: "It's okay, before officially injecting the dead souls into Jia Luo's body, I will cleanse them of their hostility, this is a unique method of soul masters." ”

Saying this, everyone accepted it hesitantly, only Xu Yuan sighed: "It's not easy to find a few suitable ones, this time we can only catch the black ones, and our task is a lot more arduous!"

"Okay, don't say so much, let's start quickly!" Gongsun Zhiqi interrupted him and urged urgently.

More than half an hour has passed since everyone waited, but the wandering route of the dead souls in the outside world always wandered in the middle of the street, often passing by the patrolling ghost soldiers. If they are not close to the entrance of the alley, it will be difficult for Ye Shuo and the others who are ambushed in the dark passage to sneak attack. If you wait any longer, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch one until dawn.

"Although I don't have consciousness, I still know how to follow the crowd. Garo looked at the dead souls in the street and sighed softly.

Xu Yuan hung down his bag in disappointment: "If they don't come all the time, we won't keep waiting!" Thinking of this, he turned his head sideways, "Brother Ye, do you know any way to take the initiative to attract the dead soul?"

Ye Shuo smiled bitterly, they really regarded themselves as an encyclopedia. I don't want to think about it, if I really have a way, do I need to wait here?

"I remember, as if there was a Nether Grass that gave off a smell that drew the Dead Soul closer. Ye Jingyan suddenly spoke, "However, it is said that this kind of grass is only available in Lethe, and it is reincarnated over there, and the guard will definitely not be as lax as here, do you really want to take this risk?"

"Nethergrass is this?" When everyone was at a loss and was almost determined to break into Lechuan, Ye Shuo inexplicably took out a dark blue grass stalk from his arms.

The grass exudes a layer of ice blue glow all over the body, and small purple and white flowers bloom at the upper end, with an elegant fragrance, but there is always a layer of ghostly aura between the flowers and leaves, which cannot be lingered.

When Ye Jingyan saw it, she exclaimed: "That's right, that's it......! How could you have it?" But there is no need to force your way into Lechuan, after all, it is a good thing, and everyone's tense expressions are much more relaxed.

Gongsun Zhiqi looked curiously, stretched out a finger to gently play among the flowers, and then held the grass stalk and shook it, "It's nothing special." ”

Ye Jingyan also squatted down beside Ye Shuo, caressing the white flowers, and explained to everyone: "This kind of grass is opposite to the flowers on the other side, growing on the other side of the Lethe River. The dead soul has an obsession and does not want to be reincarnated, so it instinctively rejects the other side of the flower. They believe that as long as they follow the smell of the Nether Grass, they can stay away from Lethe. ”

Her voice grew softer and softer, her eyelids drooped, as if she had thought of something unspeakable at this moment, "But how could they know that it was just a false temptation." Let them see, but they can never catch it, and then they will fall deeper and deeper unconsciously...... In the end, once all the souls entered, it would be impossible to escape from this ghost world. ”

This secret story made everyone sigh with emotion. Although they wanted to know more about why Ye Jingyan knew so much about the ghost world, if she had her own difficulties, of course those of them who were friends would not be reluctant.

After a while, Jia Luo turned to Ye Shuo: "Since this is a thing from the ghost world, where did you get it?" This is also the question that everyone is most interested in, and this statement immediately diverted their attention from Ye Jingyan.

Ye Shuo played with the Nethergrass with a smile: "As long as there is money to be made, what is there between the two worlds that cannot be bought and sold? In any case, it was only a black area for doing business, and there was no blatant violation of the non-aggression pact. ”

This Netherworld Grass was bought by the way in a medicinal herb shop when he was looking for materials to repair the Ten Directions Killing Puppet in Tianji Kingdom. According to the owner of the pharmacy, the yin qi of this grass is very heavy, and for those who practice the dark attribute exercises, using it to assist in cultivation will have twice the result with half the effort.

Coincidentally, he is a soul master, and this grass is also effective in enhancing his soul power. Since the price was not too expensive, Ye Shuo also bought some easily. I didn't expect that after entering the ghost world, it would come in handy unexpectedly.

Gongsun Zhiqi pursed her lips: "In order to make money, you have to make a fortune through any channel, isn't this just like the corrupt officials in the world? In this case, I think it's better for that ghost to be incompatible, at least, people are iron-faced and selfless!"

"Yes, yes, the most important thing is to be handsome. Ye Jingyan smiled and patted Gongsun Zhiqi's head, "Okay, don't talk so much, let's start quickly." ”

Nether Grass's attraction to the dead soul also needs to be effective at a certain distance, otherwise they will not be able to sense it. However, at least its effective range is much larger than that of the Soul Fixing Bead, Ye Shuo is holding the Nether Grass in his hand, and his eyes are always following the patrol route of the ghost soldiers, he must find an appropriate time to lure the dead soul over!

The opportunity finally came in his constant waiting, and the two ghost soldiers in the vicinity patrolled in different directions, and a black dead spirit followed one of the ghost soldiers flutteringly, and unconsciously turned around halfway down the road, and was attached to the back of the other ghost soldier. The ghost soldier on the opposite side just turned his back, and the ghost soldier in the distance formed a dead end with the target.

Ye Shuo's soul perception network quickly opened, enclosing every ghost soldier in the long street, there was only this moment, in the frightened gaze of everyone, Ye Shuo had already shot out of the alley like an arrow, and the Nether Grass suddenly probed towards the closest dead soul, not daring to delay more, and his body hurriedly shrank back.

The dead soul was still erratic at first, and Ye Shuo was almost worried that the legend of the Nether Grass was not credible, but soon, the dead soul was really as if it was attracted, and it turned around lightly, and slowly groped all the way along the place where the fragrance emanated.

Ye Shuo poked half of the Netherworld Grass out of the alley, and urged it with spiritual power, and also stimulated the original elegant aroma to the heaviest. Soon, the dead soul slowly floated into the alley without all the ghost soldiers noticing.

Ye Shuo was overjoyed in his heart, and beckoned to everyone, and the soul bead quickly pasted on the forehead of the dead soul. Taking advantage of the fact that its body was temporarily frozen, Xu Yuan and Gongsun Zhiqi opened their bags from behind and pounced violently.

The first dead soul, captured successfully!

Although the first battle was a complete victory, after eliminating the White Dead Souls, there were only three that were left to qualify. Except for the one that had just been caught, the other two were far away from them, one wandering across the street and the other always wandering around the corner. Whichever one you want to catch, you have to at least cross the long street first.

"Brother Ye, don't you think this will work," Xu Yuan's thoughts began to wander again, "Let's leave a petal of the Nether Grass on the dead soul, and then you can use the soul master's method to manipulate it to find the rest of the companions." In that case, isn't that going to lure them in?"

Ye Shuo was indeed in a state of flux at first, but quickly shook his head: "But if this is the case, the dead souls outside the target will also be attracted by the fragrance of the Nether Grass. If there were too many dead souls gathering in one direction on the street at the same time, it would definitely alert the ghost soldiers. Let's think of another way. ”

Gongsun Zhiqi had been fiddling with the dead soul since just now, and then suddenly exclaimed: "Look, this dead soul is like clothes, it can be worn!"

In front of everyone, she put an arm into the dead soul's body, and then held up her arm and shook it in all directions. All the others could see was the cloak of a dead soul, as if an arm had been wrapped in a sleeve.

Jia Luo was worried that the yin qi of this dead soul would be harmful to Gongsun Zhiqi, and just wanted her to stop playing, Ye Shuo looked at the scene in front of him, but it was a flash of inspiration.

"It's not like you can wear it. After carefully sensing the soul breath of both sides, Ye Shuo quickly came to the conclusion, "It's just that the obsession of the dead souls is strong, so their breath is also heavier than the usual yin souls." When your spirit body merges with it, it can cover the yang energy in you. ”

Seeing that everyone was confused, he explained in detail: "For soul bodies, we don't actually 'see' them with our eyes, but 'perceive' their existence according to their breath. The soul perception of mortals has not yet been fully developed, so except for a few natural spirit mediums, most people do not see ghosts.

When two souls merge together, the strong yin qi will cover up the breath of the other, just like putting two sachets in front of you, the heavy smell will naturally overshadow the taste of the other side, all the same thing. If you don't deliberately distinguish between them, you usually can't sense this subtle difference. It's just that most souls will never merge together for no reason, that is. ”

"So," Xu Yuan became excited again, "As long as we catch a few more and dress up as dead souls, why don't we go to the street?"

Although this method sounds a bit ridiculous and quite risky at the same time, it is really not a thing to always wait like this, and in the end, Ye Shuo weighed the pros and cons, so he could only agree to give it a try. "In this case, we have four people left, which means that we will catch four more dead souls......"

"You don't have to count me in. Ye Jingyan shook her head with a smile, "I'm different from you, I'm a Yin Soul body, and the attributes of this ghost world are compatible. As for my own breath, it is not a problem for me to simulate it exactly like a dead soul. As she spoke, a thick layer of yin qi swirled around her, comparable to the other dead soul on the side.

Ye Shuo looked at Ye Jingyan, he did not ignore the sadness that flashed in his eyes when the other party said, "I am different from you". But at this time, there was no time to worry about this, Ye Shuo leaned out of the alley again, looking for the next target nearby.

"Wow, let's catch that! the one over there is more handsome, just put it on Jia Luo!" Gongsun Zhiqi rested his head on his shoulder, and pointed excitedly towards the street.

"No, no, it's better to catch that! that one is more beautiful!" Xu Yuan seemed to be deliberately contradicting Gongsun Zhiqi, pointing to the one in the opposite direction, and excitedly proposed.

“…… I really convinced them. After hearing a few words, Ye Shuo silently withdrew from the front line.

"yes, I don't think they're looking for a dead soul, it's just a blind date......" Garo glanced at him, and the two smiled wryly at each other.
