Soon, this strategy was implemented, and many folk sorcerers served the country. They did catch the mountain ghosts, but these mountain ghosts seemed to know that they were caught and could not escape death, and after being caught and struggling for a while, they saw that they could not escape, so they tore their throats with their claws and committed suicide!"

"I thought they would kill themselves, but who knew that after this thing committed suicide, it turned into a beast spirit and began to disturb the troops who caught mountain ghosts, at this time, the mandrill began to attack, giving the troops a counterattack. After learning the lesson, people began to realize that the mandrill had a soul after death, and that the living mandrill could communicate with the soul of the dead mandrill. So Wei Wei gathered a group of capable people who caught ghosts again, and asked them to study how to catch the souls of those mountain ghosts. ”

Sure enough, these people really studied how to capture the soul of the mountain ghost, and soon, the mountain ghost was killed a lot! The mountain ghost was afraid of being killed, so he hid in the mountains, and did not dare to come out to make trouble. ”

Later, the spirit-catching troops found that the spirit-catching spirits of the mountain ghosts were extremely spiritual, and they could be raised, and the effect of raising them was even better than that of raising small ghosts! Because they were more obedient and energetic, they could do things that human souls could not do. So the spirit-grabbing troops began to be fascinated by this thing, so they began to go to find mountain ghosts on a large scale, even if they no longer dared to harm humans, these people still relentlessly wanted to find them, just to refine them into their own spirits. ”

But on the way to find the mountain ghosts, they found that some of the mountain ghosts had souls, some of them did not! and some of them were sluggish, and some of them were extremely spiritual animals, and their spirituality even surpassed that of foxes, weasels and other animals. The defeat in the jungle before was because of the control of those highly spiritual animals. After getting this discovery, they further understood that the appearance of this animal is not quite the same as that of ordinary mountain ghosts, ordinary mountain ghosts have red noses, but their eyes are not red! And this kind of mountain ghosts have red noses and red eyes, and later a person with a high level of Taoism learned that the extremely spiritual creature was a mixture of mandrills and mandrills born from the combination of mandrills and mandrills, and this kind of hybrid was also called mountain spirits at that time!"

"At that time, there were a lot of mountain spirits, which also made the people of that army have a strong interest in this, so they went everywhere to find that kind of mountain spirit, and slowly derived into a kind of professional person, and that kind of professional person was called a spirit keeper by insiders. ”

After listening to my story about mandrills, everyone's eyes widened!

Obviously, I told them something they had never heard before.

"Soul cultivator?" Wu Fatzi muttered these words.

I nodded and said, "This spirit cultivator is similar to the one we said about raising little ghosts!"

"Is there really such a thing as raising a little ghost?" Guo Yun asked curiously.

"Yes, raising ghosts has always existed, and it has penetrated widely! There are people in many fields, and many of those people are raising ghosts. The person who raises the little ghost is to exchange his essence for luck to get something that can satisfy them, the little ghost is evil, you want to get it, you have to pay. For example, a person can live to be seventy years old, but he is willing to exchange his twenty years of life for the imp in exchange for good luck. Then the imp will remove all obstacles for him, give him what he wants, and when he is fifty years old, he will want his life. ”

"Twenty years of life for good luck feels like this is also a good deal! In today's society, maybe 70 or 80 percent of people will make such a deal. Fat Wu was surprised.

I looked at Wu Fatzi and said, "I'm just making an analogy, this is not absolute! ”

"I see, I thought that whoever could change their luck in twenty years!"

I shook my head with a wry smile, continued the topic just now, and said: "But the spirit raiser is different from the person who raises the ghost, the person who raises the ghost has to provide his own spirit! In ancient times, there were many spirit cultivators, because there were more spirit beasts at that time, and the aura of the earth at that time was also relatively strong, so there were many animals that could cultivate for hundreds of years. ”

"Spirit beast, what is a spirit beast?" Guo Yun's mind was full of doubts at the moment, and she couldn't help but ask immediately as soon as she heard the new term.

I explained: "The so-called spirit beasts are animals with spiritual energy, such as foxes, weasels, and snakes that have been cultivated! These animals only need to cultivate well for a few hundred years, and they will have the opportunity to transform into human form! After becoming humanoid, they can do what they want in the yang world, as long as they do not violate the rules of the yang world and are not discovered by demon hunters, then they can be safe and sound." During the period of being human beings, as long as they find the right time and help people tide over difficulties, then they can enter the ranks of cultivating immortals. But people are so self-righteous, in order to satisfy their own selfish desires, some spirit cultivators use the excuse of subduing demons and eliminating demons to kill those spirits who have cultivated and have not harmed people. ”

"After killing the spirits, they said that they wanted to scatter each other's souls, and then use the spirits they collected to raise them to achieve their own selfish desires. ”

"Oh my God, so the career of a spirit cultivator has developed later, and he has become a bad person?"

"Most of it, not all! But this is the nature of human beings, once they are greedy, it is no different from falling into the abyss! Because of the indiscriminate killing of innocents by the spirit keepers, so that in the Ming Dynasty, the number of spiritual animals gradually decreased, which caused the dissatisfaction of the people in the righteous path, this world was originally co-existing, whether it was a spiritual animal, or a plant had its own way of survival! However, the spirit cultivators are destroying this balance, so the people in the righteous path united to massacre the soul cultivators once, this time killing a lot of soul cultivators, as for those who did not die, they did not dare to continue to stay in the land of China, it is said that some of them quietly ran to the southeast of the land of China. ”

"So, it's been a long, long time since that kind of soul cultivator appeared in the land of Huaxia! But I didn't expect to be met by me today. ”

Hearing this, Zhongli, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly looked at me and asked, "Mr. Li, are you saying that the reason why my mother was controlled and killed by that mandrill was because she offended the spirit cultivators?"
