Chapter 284: The Third Layer of Ghosts
Just as Luo Zhan was about to make a move, the ant, which had just formed a soul, couldn't control its body, and rushed crookedly to the top of the grass under the scorching sun, like a butterfly dancing on the tip of the grass, shaking non-stop.
Luo Zhan saw it interestingly, and he was not in a hurry, and said in his heart: "No matter how this ant soul can jump, it is impossible to jump out of my Five Finger Mountain, and it depends on how you control the flight, I can't say that after a few years of cultivation, with the help of the "Yellow Spring", once I reach the Wraith Soul Realm, I will also have to control the flying magic weapon at that time." ”
After watching for a while, Luo Zhan was quite disappointed, "Animals are animals, and low intelligence can never be compared with humans." ”
Then, Luo Zhan stood up and took two steps forward, just as he was about to stretch out his hand and summon the shaking ant soul to the palm of his hand to refine it.
A strange thing happened to Luo Zhan, only to see the ant soul that was like a mosquito, swaying and dancing around the tip of the grass, and suddenly black smoke rose from his body, under the scorching sun, in the blink of an eye, the black smoke had quickly faded, dissipated into the air, and disappeared.
Seeing this situation, Luo Zhan was quite surprised, "I never thought that I hadn't come to act in a hurry, that ant soul had turned into black smoke as a whole, emitting wisps of vapor, and disappeared under the scorching heat of the red sun. ”
The soul of an ant dissipated under his nose, which made Luo Zhan stunned for a while, and then he knew the reason.
Thinking of this ant soul, it is extremely weak, and it does not possess high wisdom, and does not know how to avoid the scorching sun and strong winds, so it is that under this red-hot sun, it cannot stand it and turns to ashes.
The lower animals are born with low intelligence, but the human soul is relatively strong, even so, the human soul does not dare to stay under the strong wind and violent sun for a long time before the middle stage of the ghost.
However, human beings who once possessed wisdom, even if they become ghosts and lose their spiritual intelligence, can rely on their instincts to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and find a shady place to hide, and will never be like the soul of an ant, putting themselves under the dangerous wall.
Thinking of human ghosts, Luo Zhan couldn't help but think of the pavilion between the hillsides, where the ghosts with bruised faces hiding from the scorching sun were obviously also mentally lost, but they had been hiding in the pavilion, hiding from fog, rain, thunder and lightning, wind and sun, which made people have to admire the difference and gap between humans and animals.
"It is said that some souls, with the cultivation of a long time, can also form thinking again, have a little wisdom, some of the ghosts who have lost their spiritual wisdom, cultivate to the late stage of ghosts, although their wisdom is still a little bit behind compared to human beings, but it is also not to be underestimated, because they can stand out among the wandering souls, they are not good people." Luo Zhan's heart flashed what Wang Zong had said.
Let's talk about the ghost with a bruised face, Luo Zhan had already started its idea in his heart, but he estimated the strength of that ghost, and had reached the cultivation of the second layer of the ghost, although Luo Zhan had a low-level magic weapon "Wraith Shield", but he had never fought with a humanoid ghost.
Since he fought with the female ghost more than half a month ago, Luo Zhan already has a clear understanding of the strength of the ghost's second- and third-level meditation cultivation.
Although at this time, Luo Zhan had reached the strength of the second layer of ghosts, and he had never appeared in front of the ghost with a swollen face again, after all, that man's soul was very likely to be the peak of the "ghost third layer" at this time.
This is also when Luo Zhan fled to other places in advance in order to avoid startling the snake and preventing his strength from breaking through to the "third layer of ghosts", so after Luo Zhan reached the "second layer of ghosts" cultivation, he did not go directly to the vicinity of the mountain pavilion.
——————————————————————————————————————
More than half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and with the help of "Huangquan", Luo Zhan's cultivation has gradually increased steadily and rapidly during this period.
Even if the weather is bad and the moon cannot appear, Luo Zhan's cultivation is still advancing by leaps and bounds, and at this time, he has faintly reached the bottleneck of the second layer of ghosts, and he is about to break through to the realm of the third layer of ghosts in the near future.
The reason why Luo Zhan's "Soul Condensing Technique" technique reached the bottleneck of the second layer so quickly was related to Luo Zhan's risk swallowing a large amount of moonlight essence and the magical "Yellow Spring" in order to break through to the second layer of ghosts.
Luo Zhan was trapped in the first layer of "Soul Condensation Secret Technique" for more than a while, and with a little external help, he could break through the bottleneck of the "Ghost Layer 1" and advance to the cultivation of the "Ghost Layer 2" by himself, but Luo Zhan swallowed a large amount of "Moonlight Essence" energy with the help of that magical "Yellow Spring", and a small part of the energy had already helped Luo Zhan break through the bottleneck.
And most of the remaining "Moonlight Essence" energy made Luo Zhan's spiritual cultivation deeper after breaking through the bottleneck, which was also one of the reasons why Luo Zhan only cultivated for more than half a month before he encountered the bottleneck of breaking through the second layer of the "Soul Condensing Secret Technique".
Luo Zhan's "Soul Condensing Secret Technique" cultivation method is so fast, in addition to the accelerated cultivation of the "Yellow Spring" and the great replenishment of the "Moonlight Essence Energy", there is still a third reason, but I have to mention, that is, the souls of various animals collected from the distant mountain range.
For more than half a month, every late at night, Luo Zhan would go to the forests of the Dena Mountains to find the remnants of scattered souls that could not enter the "Six Realms of Reincarnation", devour and refine them, and help them cultivate.
Although after the death of all living beings, most of them return to the "six realms of reincarnation" in the underworld, but there are also a small number of undead souls who are not allowed to be classified into reincarnation.
I thought that it was not easy for Luo Zhan to find his soul, and he has always been quite an educating mountain from ancient times to the present, but he gave Luo Zhan a big surprise, which deeply confirmed the sentence: "Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water." ”
Every night there are only all kinds of insects, cockroaches and other souls, and there are no less than 20 of them, you must know that Luo Zhan works hard during the day, and the soul of ants hunted hard is only more than a dozen.
But souls such as insects and cockroaches are inherently extremely weak, even if they are left to fend for themselves, they will only survive in the world for a week at most, and then even if they do not die in the mouth of the soul, they will naturally return to chaos and end up scattered, so what Luo Zhan really cares about is those relatively large souls.
In the middle of the night, on the top of the high treetops, there are often the souls of the birds circling, as if they are reluctant to give up the old nest in the world, causing the treetops to gently shake in the breeze, which is more intense.
Although Luo Zhan catches one or two birds every night, it also takes a lot of effort, because although most of the trees in this mountain are not very tall, they are about ten meters long.
However, for Luo Zhan at this time, it is still a little difficult to catch the soul of the birds hovering on the top of the tree, fortunately, these bird souls rarely retain the spirit of the wise, and when they fly low in the forest, it is often difficult to escape the "ghost smoke silk" thrown by Luo Zhan.
However, most of the souls born by land animals float on the forest ground, encountering Luo Zhan's "ghost smoke silk", these low-level souls will inevitably become Luo Zhan's stepping stones.
It's just that between the mountains and forests, the souls of small insects and cockroaches are a little, but they can't withstand the invasion of strong winds and cold rain, and often just form weak ghost bodies, which survive for less than a moment, and then dissipate between heaven and earth.
And those relatively large, such as gray rabbits, snakes, birds and other spirits, although there are also them, they are extremely rare, after all, their total number is far less than the number of insects and cockroaches.
Coupled with other reasons, Luo Zhan sometimes couldn't meet a relatively large soul like this in three days, but when he was lucky, he could obtain several relatively large souls such as gray rabbits in just one day.
Through the technique of "Soul Devouring Soul Devourer**", Luo Zhan quickly improved his cultivation to the second level of the ghost in the middle of the moon, with the help of the wandering soul scattered captured by "Ghost Smoke Silk".
Between the mountains and forests, although the souls of powerful animals are rare, there are really a lot of souls such as ants and cockroaches, and while Luo Zhan is pleased with the cultivation speed, he is still a little worried in his heart.
Thinking of the green-faced ghost in the fitness pavilion, after this period of devouring dissidents, the cultivation should have increased a lot, before he could find out the details of it, if he was against it, Luo Zhan really had no bottom in his heart about whether he could kill it, and what he was most worried about was that the blue-faced soul was promoted to the realm of "ghost third layer".
——————————————————————————————————————
"Brother Luo, hey, I actually killed so many ants, look at this black whirring, I'm afraid there are no less than a hundred or ten!"
This morning, Luo Zhan was struggling to hunt ants on the front line, when he suddenly heard a surprised voice not far from him.
Hearing the voice, Luo Zhan turned his head to look, but saw that it was Hua Wu, the third steward of the escort team, who usually had a good relationship with Luo Zhan, and was looking at the ground in front of Luo Zhan in surprise at this time, to be precise, it was the small piece of ant corpse on the ground in front of Luo Zhan.
"Hehe, there's nothing to do, just have fun." After Luo Zhan chuckled, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the stone platform under the shade of the osmanthus tree beside him, invited him to sit down, and spoke.
"What's the matter, Brother Luo doesn't like Miss Zheng Yuping? But here they are playing with ants! Hua Wu responded to Luo Zhan's voice and sat beside him, and said with a smile.
"Zheng Yuping" is the niece of "Zheng Yong", the owner of Qinghe Restaurant, and the reason why Luo Zhan chose to be the escort and manager of the owner of "Qinghe Restaurant" is because of this daughter.
At the beginning, Zheng Yuping was a helper at the counter of "Qinghe Restaurant", and after the predecessor "Luo Zhan" and Wang Zong returned to "Qinghe Town", he drank here one day, and met this woman at first sight, and was immediately shocked.
As one of the three famous Dans of "Qinghe Town", "Zheng Yuping", has an extraordinary appearance, one in a hundred, and ushered in many old customers for "Qinghe Restaurant", and the "Tofu Xi Shi" of Xifang Street, the "Sinking Fish and Wild Goose" of Donglin Street, and called "Qinghe Sanxiu".
Although the predecessor "Luo Zhan" tried to express his admiration for Zheng Yuping, "Yuping in the Lotus", but "the falling flowers intentionally follow the flowing water, and the flowing water ruthlessly loves the falling flowers", although the amorous is always ruthlessly annoyed, but "Luo Zhan" always has a heart for the ruthless scenery.
However, Luo Zhan, who came from the house, didn't care about it, not to mention, since he practiced the "Soul Condensing Secret Technique" technique and obtained the spiritual power, Luo Zhan has even lighter regard for emotional things, and he has not concentrated on appreciating "Yuping in the Lotus" for a long time, after all, in the "main world", Luo Zhan still has a confidante.
At this time, after a slight mention of "Huawu", Luo Zhan smiled slightly, his life goal had already been directed towards the ethereal and ethereal avenue of immortality, not to mention, for wishful thinking, Luo Zhan would not be obsessed with it.
After figuring out the hidden thoughts in his heart, Luo Zhan only felt that his chest suddenly opened up, his whole body was comfortable, and his body seemed to exude a sparkling crystal light.
At the same time, the black spiritual power entrenched in the dantian, like a poisonous dragon coming out of a hole, quickly rushed out, wandering around the body, and between the negligence, it was like an undercurrent whirlpool in the river, leaving a trace of the black soul power in the body, which had not been completely refined, and was thoroughly refined and absorbed.
"Po ......"
Immediately afterwards, Luo Zhan only felt as if a diaphragm had been torn apart in his body, and the dark spiritual power in the dantian actually operated rapidly according to the third layer of the "Soul Condensing Secret Technique" that he had already known.
Luo Zhan understood this kind of change, but he thought that it would take ten days and a half months to reach the third layer of the "Soul Condensing Secret Technique", but he never thought that at this time, it was a ghost who made it easy to break through, how could he not make Luo Zhan secretly happy in his heart.
It turned out to be a hidden secret thought that Luo Zhan didn't want to reveal deep in his heart, but at this time, he was able to unravel it clearly, put aside the unrealistic feelings between men and women, and clearly yearn for the subconscious idea of immortality, and suddenly the thought reached the whole body, like bathing in a hot spring.
With the sudden enlightenment, with the help of the little soul power that had not been completely refined in his body, Luo Zhan easily broke through the current bottleneck and entered the realm of the "Ghost Third Layer" without much effort.
After "Huawu" heard his question, Luo Zhan, who was stunned, couldn't help but blame himself in his heart, he really didn't open which pot to mention, and he had already heard that "Yuping in the Lotus" had rejected Steward Luo's admiration.
When he was thinking about how to divert the topic, he saw that Luo Zhan's stunned expression disappeared, and then changed to an excited look, so he didn't know what the reason was.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Hua Wu, who couldn't figure out the reason, saw the excitement on Luo Zhan's face at this time, and couldn't help but ask in doubt, and at the same time secretly thought to himself in his heart: "Isn't it stimulated!" ”
"Nothing! It's just a matter of thinking about the past. ”
Luo Zhan, who had just incorporated some surging spiritual power into the dantian, came back to his senses and happened to hear Hua Wu's question, so he suppressed the joy in his heart and responded casually.
"I see, I thought Brother Luo really gave up on the "Zheng Yuping" girl? Hearing what Luo Zhan said, Hua Wu said with relief, after all, Luo Zhan was quite obsessed with "Yuping in the Lotus" at the beginning.
"Hehe, the things of the world are yours, you can't run away, it's not yours, but you can't ask for it, don't be in a hurry, just let it be!" Luo Zhan looked unfathomable, smiled and said to Hua Wu.
"Having said that, however, be careful that the "Zheng Yuping" girl was abducted by others first, and when it comes, I am afraid that it will be too late to cry, hehe......" Seeing Luo Zhan's disapproving appearance, "Huawu" smiled slightly.
"Say, if there is something important, there is no important matter, you will never take the initiative to look for me." Luo Zhan didn't care at all about the words of "Hua Wu", just looked at Hua Wu with an indifferent smile, and then asked again.
"Hehe, I still can't hide it from Brother Luo, but I came to find Brother Luo this time, but there is really a big event, not far from the mountain behind our owner's house, in the place of the hillside pavilion where we used to hang out, do you know what has happened recently!" After hearing Luo Zhan's words, Hua Wu's face turned solemn, and he asked solemnly.
Hua Wu asked seriously on the surface, but there was something strange in his heart, "In the past, the people of the escort team liked to go to the place of the pavilion on the hillside to hang out, because the platform where the pavilion is located, there are some things for exercising, although it is only a few sandbags, as well as simple objects such as stone locks and wooden stakes, but Luo Guan Shi also often goes, and during this time in the pavilion, I basically have never seen Luo Guan Shi."
"Hillside gazebo? What big things can happen there? ”
When Luo Zhan heard what Hua Wu said, a major event that had happened recently was related to the pavilion on the hillside, and his heart couldn't help but move slightly, as if he realized something, and asked with a rather curious look at Hua Wu's words.
"Hehe, Brother Luo, I don't know, I heard that Big Brother hasn't been to that hillside pavilion for more than a month, and the brothers are still strange? Big brother likes boxing and exercising so much, why doesn't he play it? Let's talk quickly, did you sneak away to Yuyang City and go to "Chunfangyuan" to live happily, otherwise how could you suddenly alienate Miss Zheng Yuping? ”
Seeing Luo Zhan's curiosity, Hua Wu seemed to have a handful, his eyes rolled, as if he wanted to dig out some secret, and asked out one after another.
"Yuyang City" is a big town within a radius of 100 miles nearby, "Chunfangyuan" is a place for people with some money, pastime and pleasure, in the huge "Yuyang City", it is also quite famous, many small towns of idlers, most of them are "Yuyang City" pastime for beauty in the past.
"Don't be verbose, talk quickly! In the evening, I invite you to drink, what is going on in the pavilion on the hillside, so mysterious, if you don't tell the truth again, I can ask someone else! ”
Luo Zhan naturally wouldn't say that the reason why he didn't go to the pavilion on the hillside during this time was just the posture of watching Huawu at this time, if he didn't use some means, if he wanted to know the reason, I was afraid that he would have to waste some time, so Luo Zhan asked directly. (To be continued.) )
