Chapter 292: Leaving for a Long Journey

As for ordinary casual cultivation, if you cultivate to the realm of "late stage of ghosts", find suitable materials, and collect enough "Yin Phosphorus Ghost Fire", you can naturally refine "low-level magic weapons" by yourself, but there is a premise, you must have the know-how to refine magic weapons, and refining magic weapons, or methods in terms of elixir, are even more difficult to obtain for ordinary casual cultivation.

"I don't know what happened to Wang Zong at this time, if he hadn't given me the secret book of the Soul Condensation Technique, I wouldn't have been able to embark on this path of meditation so easily." Luo Zhan, who realized the cultivation of the "middle stage of ghosts", muttered softly with some emotion.

"Well, I can't stay here for a long time, now that I have reached the realm of the "fourth layer of ghosts", it is time to go out and travel and travel, only in this way can I quickly increase my cultivation, after all, at this time, some small souls such as insects will no longer be of great help to my cultivation. ”

Luo Zhan, who felt the new spiritual power in his body, thought to himself in his heart, and nodded slightly, the resources nearby were too scarce, and the vast "Underworld Yang Realm", Luo Zhan also wanted to wander around to increase his experience.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Walking out of the back hall of the "Qinghe Restaurant", Luo Zhan felt quite relaxed, and thought in his heart: "Well, I have already told Steward Xiong to ask him to tell the owner to leave, but I have left since today, and I don't know when I will be able to return again." ”

Luo Zhan walked to the counter in the lobby of the restaurant and stood still, looked at "Zheng Yuping" who lowered his head and played with abacus, and said softly: "Miss Zheng, how are you doing these days?" ”

"Huh? Steward Luo, follow the reminder of the master, that ghast manor, before it is cleaned, the little woman will not dare to go again, hehe......" Zheng Yuping looked up and saw that it was Luo Zhan, and said crisply with joy on her face.

"That's very good, Miss Zheng, I'm here today to say goodbye to Miss Zheng, I've been here for a long time, and I want to travel far away!" Luo Zhan heard the crisp voice of "Zheng Yuping", but he had a faint sense of sorrow from the bottom of his heart, and explained slowly.

"What? Are you going to travel far? ”

"Zheng Yuping" was very surprised when she heard this, and after a pause in her words, Fang screamed in surprise, and her crisp voice seemed to be infected and no longer so coherent.

"Well, it's just a long journey, and I'll be back in two years, after all, the evil spirits in that manor are still doing evil, and they can't be left alone."

Remembering that although there are many powerful souls in the manor, as long as he reaches the realm of the late stage of ghosts, he must come back and sweep them all away, Luo Zhan secretly planned in his heart, but on the surface, he responded to "Zheng Yuping" quietly.

You must know that the powerful souls of the "Ghost Middle Stage" realm, and even the fierce spirit sitting in the manor, are rare and great supplements, and if you refine them all, your cultivation speed will be greatly improved.

Even if you can't refine all of them to improve your cultivation, use them to increase the power of magic weapons, or refine new magic weapons, they are also rare and excellent materials, but if you want to safely protect yourself from the "ghast manor", you need to cultivate in the "late ghost" realm!

"Well, I wish Brother Luo success in his cultivation and return soon!"

"Zheng Yuping" was silent for a moment, and then seemed to muster up courage, Fang opened his mouth to say a word, and listened carefully, he could feel a slight reluctance in his tone.

"Well, take care!"

Seeing this, Luo Zhan, who was slightly silent, responded with his head bowed, and then he didn't stay too long, turned around and walked straight out of the lobby of the restaurant.

"I'll wait for your ......"

Zheng Yuping didn't chase out of the restaurant, just stared at Luo Zhan's back walking out, and didn't retract her eyes until a long time, as if even through objects and distances, she couldn't block her sight.

Gradually, her vision became a little hazy, and when she looked closely, she saw a thin layer of water droplets and mist, covering her eyes, perhaps, time could change some of her initial thoughts.

Luo Zhan, who returned to his small courtyard, did not have many worldly things to bring except for some silver deposits, and he had already told "Hua Wu" to take more care of this courtyard, presumably he would not neglect his own advice.

After hiding the three magic weapons of the "Wraith Soul Shield", "Blood Jade Bottle", and "Five Soul Yin Phosphorus Plate", as well as the magical "Yellow Spring", Luo Zhan put some silver and a little dry food into a blue cloth package, then picked up the package, closed the courtyard door, and took a big stride, striding towards the endless distance.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Time is in a hurry, more than a month of hard work, in a flash, it is already the late autumn season in October, the lush dark green leaves, began to gradually change, a faint yellow color, on the branches.

"Finally passed through this mountain forest, according to pedestrians, it should not be far from the "Red Maple City"! ”

Luo Zhan, who was dressed in a blue shirt robe, walked through a forest path, shaded the sun with his hands, avoided the scorching sun known as the "Autumn Tiger", looked into the distance, and muttered.

After more than a month of "ascetic" cultivation, coupled with the assistance of the magical "Yellow Spring", at this time, Luo Zhan's cultivation has reached the peak of the "Ghost Fourth Layer".

"There should be a small town ahead, well, you can finally rest and turn, and it's really uncomfortable to spend these three days in the forest."

For more than an hour, in the silent hurry, in a blink of an eye, Luo Zhan held a five-foot-long stick, put it on his shoulder, and at the other end of the long stick behind him, tied a blue cloth wrap, looked at a vague town in front of him, muttered to himself with some excitement, and then quickened his pace, facing the slowly westward sun, walking towards the town like a fly.

At dusk, under Luo Zhan's hurried walk, he finally arrived at the town called "Shiqiao Town", looking at the three big characters of "Shiqiao Town" written on the stone plaque in front of him, Luo Zhan felt the same way, because if you want to reach the town directly, you must pass through a bluestone bridge six or seven meters wide and twenty meters long in front of you.

At this time, the red sun was gradually setting, and the figures on the stone bridge were shaking, most of them were people who hurriedly entered the town, Luo Zhan had no intention of watching the scenery, but also followed the townspeople, stepped on the stone bridge, and walked into the town.

"Yo, guest officer, but do you want to stay in a hotel?"

Luo Zhan walked to the door of an inn, and just as he was about to enter, he saw a guy walking out of the hall quickly, greeting warmly with a smile on his face.

"Well, an upper room, the wine and food come up quickly."

Before entering the town, Luo Zhan had already thrown away the stick in his hand, and when he heard Xiao Er's question, he hurriedly answered, and then carried a blue cloth package and walked into the lobby.

"Okay, guest officer, are you here to eat?" Xiao Er sang a song and warmly entertained.

"Well, that's fine." Luo Zhan answered, and under the enthusiastic guidance of Xiao Er, he walked towards the room on the second floor.

"By the way, what's so strange around here? Where is haunted? Or is there a large mass grave nearby? After eating comfortably, Luo Zhan called Xiao Er, rewarded him with a piece of broken silver, and asked out loud.

In the past month or so, every time Luo Zhan passed through a place, he would ask the local people about strange things, if there were really evil ghosts disturbing the mortal civilians, Luo Zhan would be happy to grab them and refine them to increase his spiritual cultivation.

For Luo Zhan, who has three magic weapons in his body, the general fierce soul and ghost cannot fight against it at all, even if it is a powerful soul of the "sixth layer of ghosts", in addition to fleeing in a hurry, it is only the fate of drinking and hating the bottom of the middle-level magic weapon "Five Souls Yin Phosphorus Plate", unless it is a fierce soul in the "late ghost" realm, the ability to resist Luo Zhan who has a magic weapon.

In just over a month, Luo Zhan cultivated the "Soul Condensing Secret Technique" technique to the peak of the fourth layer, although the magical "Yellow Spring" was indispensable, condensing a little bit of Luo Zhan's basic spiritual power cultivation, but devouring the refined lonely souls and wild ghosts along the way was the main reason why Luo Zhan made such rapid progress.

Therefore, every time he passed through a town, Luo Zhan would ask, where was there a haunting, or a place of supernatural graveyards? Because of these places, there will be spirits haunting.

"Guest! If you want to ask if there are any strange things around here, then you can find the right person, in this "Shiqiao Town" ten miles and eight slopes, where there is any news, I know. Xiao Er, who got Luo Zhan's reward for silver, could smile a fold on his face, and introduced him to Luo Zhan diligently.

"If you want to talk about this mass graveyard, there is nothing famous about it, and there are few rumors of anything unusual, but if you talk about supernatural and strange things, the guest officer is really a coincidence." Seeing that Luo Zhan was listening carefully, the shopkeeper smacked his lips and continued to preach with a full face.

"Oh, what do you say about this supernatural thing?" Hearing that the shopkeeper was preaching about supernatural and strange things, Luo Zhan's eyes lit up and he asked with interest.

"If you talk about supernatural things, in our "Shiqiao Town" you have to say 'Liu Xian Weng', in the northwest of our town, there is an old willow tree that has become fine, if the town people have any illness, basically there is a response, sincerely kneel and pray for a turn, to ensure that you can go to the pain of illness, so the town people all call it 'Liu Xian Weng', there are many people who burn incense and worship on weekdays. Seeing that Luo Zhan was very interested in this, the shopkeeper didn't sell it, and directly explained what happened.

"Well, there is such a strange thing, so I will definitely go and watch it tomorrow." For the town's honorific title of "Liu Xianweng", although Luo Zhan sneered at it in his heart, he was also a little surprised and confused, and secretly thought: "Could it be that the willow tree has really become a spirit?" But if this is the case, it is impossible for a no-psychic spirit to be so friendly to humans. ”

"If the guest officer wants to go to the 'Xian Weng Temple' and worship the 'Liu Xian Weng', the little one will be free tomorrow, but he can lead the way for the guest officer." Hearing that Luo Zhan wanted to watch "Liu Xian Weng", the shopkeeper was full of joy, so that he could get some more rewards, and hurriedly volunteered with a flattering face.

"Well, it's okay, I'm also missing someone to lead the way, and since you're so familiar with the surrounding situation, you can take me there tomorrow." Looking at the shopkeeper who looked at him expectantly, Luo Zhan groaned slightly, and then opened his mouth to respond.

"Hey, thank you son, hehe, if there is nothing else, then the little one will go down first." Seeing that Luo Zhan responded to his self-recommendation, the shopkeeper immediately smiled happily and hurriedly smiled.

"Well, you go out, if there's nothing to do, don't come and disturb me until tomorrow." Luo Zhan nodded lightly and commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes, the little one knows, and he doesn't dare to disturb the son's rest, and the little one retires." Hearing Luo Zhan's order, the shopkeeper hurriedly answered a few times, then closed the door and retreated.

"Hehe...... 'Liu Xian Weng', it's a little interesting, tomorrow I want to see where the ghost is and how he has such a wise move." After the shopkeeper exited the door, Luo Zhan smiled lightly, stroked his chin with his hand, and muttered to himself a little playfully.

"Don't care about it, whether it's a demon or a ghost, you can see tomorrow, but you can't delay your daily cultivation work." After thinking quietly for a moment, Luo Zhan slowly exhaled a breath, put aside the distractions in his heart, and slowly walked over to the bed.

These days, Luo Zhan has never stopped a day of cultivation, after all, the accumulation of small amounts is a lot, and cultivation is also like sailing against the current, compared to other cultivators, if they do not advance, it means retreating, and every day of cultivation will be closer to the Great Dao of Immortality.

Luo Zhan, who came to the bed, took off his shoes and socks, sat directly cross-legged at the head of the bed, and then took out three magic weapons, put one of them beside him, and then took out a quaint stone spring and put it in the gap between his knees.

Every time Luo Zhan sat down, he would definitely put the magical "Yellow Spring" beside him, after all, this seemingly quaint small "Yellow Spring" actually had a magical power that made cultivators salivate, that is, it could increase the cultivation speed of cultivators by nearly double, and it was really an excellent treasure for cultivation to get twice the result with half the effort.

After everything was settled, Luo Zhan's eyes closed slightly, and with the help of the "Yellow Spring", his mind quickly entered a state of calm without waves in an ancient well, and the speed of the spiritual power in the dantian suddenly accelerated under Luo Zhan's concentrated cultivation, and according to the exercise mantra of the fourth layer of the "Soul Condensing Secret Formula", it was running rapidly.

I don't know when Luo Zhan's sleep has been replaced by cultivation, but his daily spirit has not only never languished, but also becomes more energetic.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

I don't know how long it will take, Luo Zhan's brows moved, then he calmed down, and then slowly put away his spiritual power and opened his eyes.

"Bell, bell, bell" Luo Zhan was attracted by a knock on the door and retracted his thoughts, looked at the already bright sky, and asked outside while packing up a few treasures and magic weapons: "Who knocked on the door?" ”

"Childe, it's small, it's time to eat, after eating, the little one will take Childe to worship 'Liu Xianweng'." The voice of the shopkeeper sounded outside the door.

"Well, okay, you wait a minute, I'll come down for dinner later." Luo Zhan answered and prepared to go downstairs to eat.

"Yes, Childe." The shopkeeper answered, then stopped making a sound, and quietly waited for Luo Zhan, who was packing up his belongings in the room.

Subsequently, Luo Zhan, who had washed up, went downstairs, and after breakfast, he hurriedly brought a few magic utensils, and walked out to the outside of "Shiqiao Town" under the guidance of the shopkeeper.

The two of them walked along a small road, straight to the northwest of "Shiqiao Town", and encountered pedestrians along the way, in fact, this path is not wide, obviously in recent years, there are more and more pedestrians and stepped out.

'What?' The place where Liu Xianweng lived seemed to be very desolate before, and there were not many people walking this path before, right? Looking at the path under his feet, Luo Zhan asked the shopkeeper.

"What Childe said is that if this path had been more desolate in the past, it can be said that almost no one walked on it, because the direction it leads to is said to be a former 'slaughterhouse', which has been passed down by the older generation, and many people have been buried alive in the 'slaughterhouse'." After Luo Zhan's question, the shopkeeper whispered mysteriously.

"Oh, 'Killing Fields'? Seems to be interesting. When Luo Zhan heard this, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a look of great interest, and said with a smile.

Then he thought to himself in his heart: "This "Shiqiao Town" has not come in vain, maybe it is not necessary to have some gains, after refining and refining the wandering spirits caught in recent days, the cultivation speed has been relatively reduced a lot, and there is finally another chance." ”

"Childe is really a bold man, he doesn't feel scared at all, but then again, this 'slaughteryard' is also quite peaceful now, since the 'Liu Xian Weng' appeared two years ago to cure a beggar's illness, more and more people have come here, and they have stepped on a solid road to such a desolate place."

Seeing Luo Zhan's words of interest after hearing about the "Slaughter Field", the shopkeeper was quite surprised, and then went on to introduce that while the two of them were walking, they were talking about the topic of "Liu Xianweng" and "Slaughter Field", and they had unconsciously rushed seven or eight miles of road.

"Look, Childe, ahead is the place where the 'Liu Xian Weng' is located, and it is also the 'slaughter field' that was once rumored, but the little ones don't believe that this was once a 'slaughter field', at most it was a cemetery." Looking at a willow forest slope in front of him, the shopkeeper reminded loudly.

Luo Zhan raised his eyes to look at a hillside in front of him, only one kind of tree was planted on this hillside, that is, the willow tree, although the season was already in October, but the willow trees all over this hillside were still extremely verdant and lush.

There is a folk saying that says: "Don't plant mulberry in the front, don't plant willows in the back, and don't plant 'executioners' in the courtyard." ”

Mulberry refers to mulberry trees, because it has a similar sound to "mourning", because the people do not plant mulberry trees in front of the door, but they are afraid of bad luck.

The so-called "executioner" in the courtyard refers to the peach tree, and the ordinary peach tree is different from the "ghost exorcism thunder wood" cultivated by the secret method of thunder road.

The flowers, branches, and fruits of the peach tree are all blood-red, and the living peach tree is a tree with extremely heavy yin energy, and some demons and evil spirits are willing to live on it, and the yin wood peach tree is in harmony with each other, and nourish each other.

Therefore, if there is a peach tree planted in the courtyard, the living person will be contaminated with a little yin spirit for a long time, and minor illnesses will often be normal, and in serious cases, it will even damage the essence of life, and people with poor physique will be in danger of life.

And the peach tree is not, although the peach wood is taken from the peach tree, however, even if it is not cultivated by the secret method of the Thunder Dao, it also has the opposite effect of the peach tree, when the peach tree is born, the yin qi is self-generated, after the peach tree dies, the yin qi is reversed, and it turns into a positive yang attribute, not only will it not be beneficial to the yin spirit ghosts, but it is even more harmful to it, if it is refined, it is a great threat to the little ghosts in the "early stage of the ghost realm".
