Chapter 549: Breaking into the Ghost Realm
"Xuyuan, you don't have to worry about this, although the Bone Devouring Ghost Saint has not yet been wiped out, but at least it is also a big loss of vitality, and he will definitely not dare to come out again to make waves in the short term. Ye Shuo comforted Xu Yuan and looked around at everyone, "By the way, it's not a holiday now, you don't have to go to class, is it okay to run out for so long?"
This is also a question that has puzzled him for a long time. Speaking of which, since he dropped out of school, there seems to have been a "dropout trend" in Zhiyuan College, and his friends almost dropped out of school one after another, Ye Shuo sometimes thinks about it, and he will worry about whether he has inadvertently brought a bad head. Now a few of them, shouldn't they all drop out of school?
Seeing that he was worried, several people looked at each other, and they all grinned.
"We have all completed our studies and have just held a graduation ceremony. Originally, he wanted to have a drink with Xiling Jiangkun to celebrate, but who knew that this kind of thing happened in his family. Gongsun Zhiqi said, rolling her eyes in the distance, as if expressing dissatisfaction with the only person who was not here now.
Have you been gone for so long...... Ye Shuo suddenly fell into a trance. The time of laughing with friends in the academy was still yesterday, and in the blink of an eye, it seems that they are really adults, and they need to take on more responsibilities and face more hardships in life. In the future, they will no longer be the younger generations who are protected by others, and it will be their turn to protect others and become the support of others.
Although Ye Shuo himself had already embarked on this step a long time ago, at least he knew at that time that his friends were still at that age when they could dream. Now that they have grown up and matured, they have really deprived themselves of their last youthful time.
At this moment, it was inevitable that there was a little sentimentality in Ye Shuo's heart, but soon, these sorrows were immediately washed away by another sudden wave of joy.
If so...... Now that Qi Lingsha should also have completed her cultivation period and returned to the Dingtian Mountain Range, she must take the time to go back when she finishes dealing with the affairs of the ghost world. She must be very happy to hear the news of Luo Dixing's death.
Her smile was finally about to bloom for herself......
The gloomy buried valley rarely added a little bit of vitality to the laughter of the four people, but when the next gust of yin wind swept by, everyone thought of the test they were about to face, and their faces became serious one after another.
"It's very dangerous to go to the ghost world, and if you're not careful, you may never come back......! Have you really thought it all through?" Garo was still worried.
"Hey, we're all here, and you're just asking us if we've thought it through?" said Xuyuan angrily. and Gongsun Zhiqi one by one, punched Jia Luodang in the chest.
Ye Shuo followed up with a punch: "If you talk nonsense, you won't treat us as brothers." β
Jia Luo's eyes moved slightly, and the night wind seemed to sweep a little bit of water in his pupils, and he was excited several times, and finally hugged his fist towards the three of them: "Great kindness, there is no way to repay it! You are my good brothers in this life!"
So then, according to the method that they had practiced thousands of times, the four of them sat cross-legged in the moonlight, pinched the trick in their hands, stared deeply, and tried to make their body and mind become one with the natural world, and at the same time slowly converged the fluctuations of spiritual power, and when the vitality in the body gradually weakened, all their perceptions were concentrated in the soul.
The first step is to let the soul eyes replace the real eyes. When it is no longer dark in front of their closed eyes, and the scenery around them is completely clear, they can start to try to walk out. The whole process must be extremely slow, and if you detach from the physical body too quickly, it is likely to cause damage to the fragile soul.
Ye Shuo was the first to walk out, and almost as soon as he closed his eyes, his soul was easily separated from his body. After about a stick of incense, Garo walked out the second. In his previous practical course, he was the subject of out-of-body research, and he had a little more experience than the other two.
Gongsun Zhiqi took a long time, but in the end, she finally walked out smoothly. Then, just like every time in the backyard of Xiling's house, she began to carefully check whether her spirit body was still beautiful, and whether there were missing arms and legs.
Now, only Xu Yuan was left to sit with his eyes closed, and there was no sign of his soul at all.
In every practice in the past, Xu Yuan was the slowest one out of the body. For this reason, they came to bury the grain this night, and they made a special trip a few hours in advance. But as time passed, there was still no movement in the direction of the continuation wall.
Ye Shuo knew that Xu Yuan was lively and active by nature, and it was not easy for him to calm down, and the difficulty of going out of his body was indeed too great for him. Although Gongsun Zhiqi also has the same flaw, a woman's nature is yin, and as long as she has mastered the trick, it is not difficult to contact the spirit.
At this time, Ye Shuo scanned Xuyuan's body with his soul power, and he could clearly feel that the soul in his body was restlessly restless, and it was obvious that he also knew that he had been delayed for too long, so he began to feel anxious. But the more anxious he is, the more the soul cannot be at one with nature, and it will only make him even more unable to get out.
Everyone suffers from this problem, and the more you pay attention to things, the more likely you are to make mistakes. Although Xu Yuan usually leaves his body smoothly, this time he is going to officially break into the ghost world, and this trip is very important to Jia Luo, and he definitely doesn't want to drag himself back. This huge psychological pressure, like layers of clouds piled up in his body, made his soul never be completely quiet.
"Xuyuan, don't rush, stay calm. Ye Shuo silently recited in his heart, and at the same time, his soul power was dissipated from his body, gently passing around Xuyuan, trying his best to soothe his restless soul.
When the moon reached the middle of the sky, the time of the child was approaching, looking at Xuyuan, who was still with his eyes closed, Gongsun Zhiqi was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and complained softly: "What should I do? If he can't come out again, we can't leave him here alone, and I'm afraid we will have to reschedule when he enters the ghost world." Next time I want to find another day with such heavy yin qi, I don't know how long I will have to wait......"
"It's okay, trust him. Garo was steadfast.
He knows very well that as his good brother all along, Xu Yuan attaches more importance to this trip to the ghost world than anyone else. In addition to everyone's usual unified practice, on several occasions, Gara saw Xuyuan locked up in the room alone, silently breathing and breathing.
He has put in so much effort for himself, and the only thing he can repay him may be unconditional trust.
"Hehe, although Xuyuan is not here, but I am still here!" I don't know how long it took, and a crisp laugh suddenly sounded in the clearing.
From behind Jia Luo, a beautiful female ghost quietly turned out, although it was a soul, it was still luxuriously dressed and charming. No one knows how long she has been here, but when she appeared, Garo felt a sudden empty piece in his soul.
"Jing Yan?" Ye Shuo and Gongsun Zhiqi were all too familiar with the outfit of this female ghost, and they couldn't help blurting out exclamations at the same time.
Unexpectedly, after Jia Luo's soul went out of his body, Ye Jingyan's soul was also separated from him. However, recalling the original practical lesson, after Jia Luo's consciousness left, the dominant body became Ye Jingyan, and this scene seemed to be not so difficult to understand.
At the end of the day, they're still two different souls. In order to maintain the yang energy of a body for a long time, it is necessary for the souls of two people to fill each other. But after being incarnated as spirits, they can still exist on their own.
Ye Jingyan chuckled, carefully looked at the Jia Luo spirit body standing in front of him, and said with a smile: "Jia Luo, we should have met officially for the first time." It's amazing, even though they have lived in the same body for more than ten years, they are still seeing each other for the first time. β
Jia Luo was also looking at Ye Jingyan seriously, and after a while, he slowly stretched out a hand: "Jingyan, after so many years, I have wronged you." β
Ye Jingyan was slightly stunned, a flash of surprise and emotion flashed on her face, and was soon replaced by a mischievous smile again: "Why, I wanted to hold someone's hand when we met for the first time, it turns out that Jia Luo is this kind of personββ"
Although Ye Jingyan's tricky style still hasn't changed, Ye Shuo and the other three, who already know her well, will no longer be disgusted by the bad taste she exposes from time to time.
While they were planning to fill Jia Luo's soul all day long, they were actually depriving Ye Jingyan of her life. Once Jia Luo's soul is restored, he can truly take charge of this body, and Ye Jingyan's superfluous soul will be excluded.
Without her physical body, she would not be able to live forever in the yang world with a mutilated spirit body, and even whether she could be successfully reincarnated was still unknown. But knowing this, she always slept quietly in Garo's body, never complaining.
Ye Shuo sometimes felt that if others had Ye Jingyan's experience, it was estimated that they would have collapsed long ago. In retrospect, although she has a bad personality, she has always been just trying to live in her own way. In fact, she is really a very strong girl.
The four of them laughed this time, and they didn't even notice when they succeeded in getting out of the body.
"Oh my God, Jing Yan!" Xu Yuan, who had just left his body, was startled, and his wandering soul trembled violently, and he almost fell back into his body.
Several people around were quick to move, and hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Xuyuan's arms tightly, and pulled him out, during which there was naturally another fight.
No matter what, the time limit of the sub-hour finally caught up, and the five people who were on the task did not delay any longer, and hurried to the Xuanyue Treasure Bone Well.
The desolate cemetery, with its staggered white bones scattered everywhere, and the occasional skull with hollow eye sockets can be seen, most of which have been crumbled by endless years. And at the end of this long and dead silence, there was a dry well standing peacefully, exuding bursts of yin qi, and as the five people continued to approach, the depths of the soul began to be filled with a chill.
"It seems that you must choose to enter at the time of the child, just because at this time, the defensive enchantment of this Xuanyue Treasure Bone Well is the weakest ......" Ye Shuo stared at the layer of dark blue light floating at the mouth of the well, raised a hand and attached it to it, the soul power and the enchantment fluctuations fused, slowly dissolving that trace of resistance.
"I don't know what the situation is down here, which one of us will go in first?" Ye Jingyan watched Ye Shuo's movements, and at the same time opened his mouth to ask everyone.
Although he was the only Yin Ghost among the five, Ye Jingyan didn't know anything about the situation in the ghost world. The first person to go down will obviously face the greatest risk, and this will also be the first problem they have to solve before officially breaking into the ghost world.
"I'll do it first. In silence, Ye Shuo took the initiative to stand up. He is a soul master, and he has a soul bead on his body, if there is really any emergency, he will definitely have more means to deal with it than others.
Everyone nodded one after another, they knew that Ye Shuo would never do something they were not sure of, and this task was indeed the most suitable for him.
After reaching a consensus, Ye Shuo didn't talk much nonsense, his palm was attached to the enchantment, and his body slowly dissolved in the diffuse blue light. At this moment, it was like some kind of cold hook pulling itself hard, and then the world was spinning.
The ghost cried in his ears, the yin wind shuttled and swirled around his side, Ye Shuo could feel the layers of space jumping rapidly, his soul body seemed to be torn apart, this was no longer the space he could control, all he could do was keep falling, falling......
The laws of time and space are also rapidly changing. What you are about to enter is a completely unfamiliar world......
In the confusion, he couldn't tell the time, and when he opened his eyes again, Ye Shuo found himself standing on a straight street, although the appearance was not much different from the long street in the world, and there were also pedestrians coming and going, but perhaps because he was still a living soul, standing in this underworld, there was always an indescribable sense of disobedience, as if he was out of place with everything around him.
Looking around, Ye Shuo was soon pleasantly surprised to see that in addition to the ghost soldiers patrolling on this street, the most of them were wisps of floating spirits. They are no longer conscious, but wander aimlessly through the streets according to the instincts left in their souls.
Dead souls, which are extremely rare in the human world, can be seen everywhere in the ghost world!
According to the records in the books, although the area of the ghost world is vast, it is actually equivalent to a transit place between the yang world and hell.
When the newly dead ghosts enter the ghost world, they need to judge their merits and demerits in life, and those who do not have much fault can be led by the bull head and horse face to cross the Nai He Bridge, drink Meng Po soup, and be reincarnated. Due to the differences in merit and demerits, the rebirth path is also divided into "humane" and "animal path".
As for those who have done many evils in their lifetime, they will be sent to hell to be punished. After atoning for one's sins, there is still a chance to re-enter samsara. However, depending on the crimes committed, the current hell is full of evil spirits who have been imprisoned for hundreds of years and are still full of sins.
Although reincarnation is the norm, if you don't want to be reincarnated, you can stay here to cultivate, take office, and maintain the daily order of the ghost world. If there are ghosts that stay in the yang world to do evil, they often need to be arrested.
The most common in the ghost world is the ghost soldier, which is also the first class that ghosts can hold. With the growth of strength and the accumulation of credit, ghost soldiers also have the opportunity to be promoted to ghost generals.
