Chapter 26: Ghost Baby
In the evening, Priest Mingyue finally came out of the room with a happy smile on his face. After packing up his things, he got up and went to Shuaifu.
In the Shuaifu, Qin Qian, Mu Ying and Boyan were all staying in the garden, knocking melon seeds to exchange the news they got, while waiting for Bai Yu and Ling Gu to come out of the garden.
Mu Ying: "I asked about that Lei River, and he said that there were about 20 people missing, and other city gate officials also asked, and there were more or less missing people. There were beggars, gangsters, hunters, and lonely citygoers. They are people who are not easily noticed. ”
Qin Qian told him about the ghost pill after that, and then reported the results of his search of the city: "There are no other abnormal people found in the city, those 'ghouls' are probably deliberately arranged by someone to go to Ling Gu." ”
A trace of murderous intent flashed in Mu Ying's eyes, but it was quickly covered up by her again, and she sighed: "Now it's up to you to see what you have gained from the wood." ”
Qin Qian was silent, he hesitated, but he still didn't tell Mu Ying about the guess of "predicting the future". Ten thousand years ago, Meng Yucai was a little guy who had just broken out of his shell, and he didn't have much memory of that tragic day. But he and Mu Ying already remembered, they were sensible, but their cultivation was not high, so they could only watch a qiē happen. Mu Ying's temper is not like what she looks like on weekdays, when it comes to the matter of the domain master, Mu Ying is irrational than Bai Yu.
"General." At this time, Topaz ran in from outside the garden and said, "Priest Mingyue is here, waiting in the main hall. ”
Mu Ying suddenly jumped up: "That onimaru has eyebrows?" Let's go, let's go to the main hall. ”
Several people rushed to the main hall in a hurry, and before they got closer, they saw Meng Yu's mount, the fish head, suddenly breaking in from outside the courtyard gate, and on horseback, Meng Yu was holding the sleeping Wei Yuan, his face was pale.
Several people were stunned, and Mu Ying ran over first: "What's the matter?" ”
"What about the priests?" Meng Yu didn't bother to answer her question, and asked anxiously. He had already made a trip to the temple, but he just missed it with Priest Mingyue.
"In the main hall." Topaz hurriedly shouted, running inside to inform the Bright Moon Priest.
Priest Mingyue had already heard the voice and walked to the door, and when he saw this, he frowned slightly and said, "Put Vice General Wei on the ground." ”
Meng Yu Yiyan put Wei Yuan flat on the ground, he knelt next to him, and then explained the situation to several people.
Priest Mingyue checked it for Wei Yuan, and said with a sigh of relief: "Thanks to Vice General Wei's cleverness, he used his own spiritual fire to isolate the black flame in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." ”
It was good news, but Meng Yu was still terrified for a while.
"Priest, the guard ...... him" was a little blind, and cold sweat was on his forehead.
"Some evil spirits, but they don't enter the body, so it's easy to do." As she spoke, Priest Mingyue took out a pill and crushed it, and the broken medicine powder floated in her palm, and she sent it into Wei Yuan's heart with spiritual power.
"This medicine can get rid of the evil qi, but it will take some time, so let him rest now."
Meng Yu was overjoyed, thanked Priest Mingyue again and again, and then didn't care about the others, picked up Wei Yu and went back to his mansion.
Qin Qian's face was a little solemn - he was deceived by them, was the person who could predict the future really exist? Or is it just a ploy by the other side?
"I'm going to kill those people." Mu Ying watched Meng Yu's back disappear at the door, and suddenly said coldly.
Boyan stretched out his hand and patted Mu Ying's head and said, "I'll kill them." ”
Mu Ying nodded with a smile, and then jumped up again: "Priest Mingyue, is it that the onimaru has eyebrows?" ”
Priest Mingyue nodded: "At first, I thought that the ghost pill was just to drive these people, but then I found out that the effect of this ghost pill was not to control those people, on the contrary, those people's storage was to conceive the ghost pill in their bodies." It stands to reason that this kind of onimaru will not attack people, and it is obvious that someone has an improvised idea. ”
"These two oni pills are defective products that were made in a hurry. The medicine is not taken in several doses, but is injected directly into their flesh and skin. However, this method seems to have caused a strange phenomenon" Priest Mingyue took out a transparent box, which contained two ghost pills, and the middle of the box was separated, but the two ghost pills were stuck next to the barrier, and did not roll to other corners.
Qin Qian frowned and said, "Can you sense each other?" ”
"Hmm." Priest Mingyue said regretfully, "But I don't know why this is happening. At present, the only thing that has been figured out is the role of the onimaru. ”
"What is it?" Mu Ying asked curiously.
"Bait." Priest Mingyue said: "Take people as the Ding, refine the ghost pill; Feed with ghost pills, and become a ghost baby; The ghost baby became a cocoon, and a hundred years later, the ghost king came out. ”
"Ghost King? Familiar. Qin Qian pondered for a moment, then frowned: "This is the method of ghost cultivation in the upper realm. ”
Bright Moon Priest nodded: "That's right. However, the cost of creating a ghost king is too great, and it takes a long time, so I don't think it is very likely that the other party wants to refine the ghost king. But ghost babies can think about one or two. ”
Priest Mingyue said that there was a little embarrassment here: "But the ghost baby is not as good as the ghost king: the ghost king is born, and it is mostly killing." But ghost babies tend to be more of a tool. Its role is also varied, and what it does depends on the medicine that makes the zuò ghost pill. ”
"Can't you see the medicine from the ghost pill?" Mu Ying was a little anxious: "Even if it's blind, at least there is a direction." ”
Priest Mingyue smiled: "This is true. I don't know what the ghost baby does, but I have a rough idea of where the ghost baby is. ”
Mu Ying's eyes lit up: "Tell me quickly." ”
"In Onimaru's materials, I found blood. It was turtle blood. Priest Mingyue said: "Ghost babies can not be successfully conceived by just eating ghost pills, ghost pills are just the finishing touch, before that, ghost babies need a hotbed." And I think the most likely 'hotbed' is the ingredient used in the onimaru, the blood of the turtle. ”
The turtle is an otherworldly spirit animal, and its biggest feature is that it has a long lifespan and a very strong self-healing ability. Using the blood of a turtle to conceive a ghost baby is obviously quite a good deal.
"And the turtle is naturally in the sea, and the closest sea area to Bermuda City is just north of the city. If I'm not mistaken, turning over the peach blossom forest, it is the Lost Port, and the Lost Port area is rarely visited, and it is naturally the best place to hide. ”
Qin Qian came back to his senses: "The rumors in the city before, the people who originally said that the ghouls were found were found by collecting medicine in the Twin Claws Valley. And the Twin Claw Valley is right connected to the Lost Harbor. ”
"Good! Let's go now! Mu Ying stood up and pinched her waist and said imposingly.
"Let's go again tomorrow." Qin Qian shook his head: "I have to talk to the boss about this first." Besides, it's going to be dark now, and we're not familiar with the situation in the Twin Claws Valley and the Lost Harbor, so it wouldn't be good if we fell into the trap of the other side. ”
What Qin Qian was referring to was obviously the magic circle trap among them today.
At this moment, Lu Zhu happily ran and said, "The commander and the son have come out, and the appearance of the son has changed a little. ”
Has the appearance changed?
Ordinary people will change their appearance when they wash the essence and cut the marrow, but just refining, they can still see the original appearance. This is what the three-year-old children in the Shuai Mansion know that Luzhu will never say about this.
So there's only one possibility.
When a few people were in doubt, they saw Bai Yu and Ling Gu walking into the main hall. After the last warp and marrow washing, Ling Gu had already changed greatly, and in a short period of time, he was once again promoted from Ning Hualu to cultivation, which was originally only supposed to be the consolidation of his body, but his appearance had changed.
His lips and eyebrows had faded, his eyes had become a little longer, and his eyebrows had flown obliquely into his sideburns; The red lines on the left side of his face have also converged a lot, and the entire left side of his face was spread before, but now, the red lines near the bridge of the nose in the eye socket are gone, and the lines that spread to the forehead at the end of the eyes are still there, and the color is becoming more and more intense. This makes these lines look like gorgeous demon patterns, revealing a flamboyant evil nature.
These changes are actually very subtle, and at a glance you can still recognize him as Ling Gu, but if you look closely, you will not be sure if he is the original Ling Gu.
Ling Gu has changed, he has become, like the scarlet sun.
