Chapter 3: Ghosts

[The book continues from the above, the last book said that Tie Hua was ordered to invite the red jade, just by taking a closer look at the ashes in his hand, he can make Liu Yang's current situation clear. And found that the thaumaturgy practiced by Liu Yang was no longer the evil art of the Immortal Dao, but involved the thaumaturgy of the Yin ghosts in the underworld. But this otherworldly thaumaturgy is not impossible to crack, and Hongyu proposed that when Liu Yang's cultivation reaches the extreme, he will become a half-human and half-ghost ghost. And the ghost man happens to have a nemesis, and that is the Soul Eclipse Gu. Draw out the red jade to guide the dragon lock people, find or create the Soul Erosion Gu, in order to break Liu Yang's cultivation. And Mu Qingming on the jade dragon pile, when he looked through the ancient books he carried with him and gave him by the lord of the ghost market, he found the records of ghosts. 】

Outside, the sun was shining and the breeze was blowing in the patio. A few sparrows landed in the patio under the swaying of the grass and trees, and they heard a sharp roar from the night owl in the cage on the tree, and flew up.

But the cold spring, who was sitting on the threshold of the main room and silently watching all this, giggled.

And the sharp roar of the night owl also reached the ears of Hongyu in the room, and she trembled when she heard it.

"Red Girl, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Hongyu trembled and the fear in her eyes spread, Tie Hua asked.

"Night owls, their voices are our nemesis." The upper and lower rows of red jade, whose teeth chattered, trembled non-stop, and said in a trembling voice: "When you hear it, you will be afraid." ”。

"Oh." Tie Hua replied casually, and then asked, "Then what is this Soul Eater Gu?" A kind of Gu that we haven't heard of, what does it look like at the bottom? ”。

"I haven't seen it either, but I've heard from the old ghosts. It is a strange poisonous Gu that has been extinct and lost to this day, and in the past, Chu sorcerers used them to eat ghosts and ghosts. Hongyu, who gradually calmed down, shook her legs again: "Once this Gu is formed, it will begin to suck the yin qi and ghost qi around it. Both ghosts and ghosts have to rely on these two things to stay alive, and once they are sucked dry by it, they will die. And the greed of the Soul Eater Gu is also beyond imagination, it seems that it doesn't know how to be full, it keeps eating and eating, and when it eats until it supports itself to death, its life comes to an end. ”。

As soon as these words came out, Tie Hua and Jiaoyun could listen attentively. Only Miaole still maintains emotional thinking and composure.

Later, the Qin army broke through the Chu capital Shouchun, and the Chu state was destroyed. The capital of the country died, and Chu Wu scattered in a hurry like a tree falling and scattering, and this kind of soul erosion Gu was lost. Then, Hongyu said.

"Why does it sound so much like a story rather than a fact?" As soon as he finished speaking, Miaole on the side frowned and said; There was a look of suspicion on his face.

"Hey, I'm doing my best to help you, everyone can see it, do I need to lie to you?" Hongyu, who patted the table next to him with one hand and stood up in a moment, had an angry face, and said in a deep voice with his hands on his hips: "Anyway, I'm a ghost who is hundreds of years old, what good is it for me to lie to you?" After lying to you, can you burn dozens of carloads of dead coins for me? ”。

If you hold a gun and a stick, it will be like a cannon, and it will crackle and spit out from between the lips of the red jade. For a while, Hongyu was also emotional, and the ghost qi all over her body continued to overflow rapidly, condensing into a miserable yin wind, not roaring in the house.

Miao Le knew that this red jade was still targeting her previous threat, but she didn't care if she asked anyone, she just sneered: "Ask casually, don't be so excited, sit down and say." ”。

Hongyu snorted and sat down: "Anyway, this is how this thing is, as for why you are looking for this Gu, I can go and help you ask the old people of the ghost clan." ”。

"Thank you very much." After Tie Hua took the lead in thanking Hongyu, the other dragon lockers in the house also thanked him, and then Hongyu's anger receded, and his face returned to calm again.

"To be on the safe side, you'd better find other options. After all, this kind of Gu has now become a legend, and the old ghosts don't necessarily know where to find it. After calming down, Hongyu thought about it seriously and said to Tie Hua: "In short, there must be more than one way to deal with ghosts, but that's all I know. ”。

"Hmm." Tie Hua nodded and agreed with Ruby's proposal.

"Okay, my work is done, it's time to go, next time I have such a job, please prepare incense and candles for me in advance." Hongyu stood up and said, "Old man, I have to trouble you to send me back." I have to hurry up and ask those old guys about the Soul Eclipse Gu. ”。

"Well, I'll send you back. You don't have to come to Sarah Lane when you ask for the news, there are people watching here. Tie Hua stood up, picked up the oil-paper umbrella and stretched it out: "I'll give you a safe address later, just go to that place to find me after you get the news." I'll get you a lot of incense sticks. ”......

On the jade dragon pile, in the Qi family's warehouse, Mu Qingming was listless all day.

The stuff of stockpiling and warehousing was all handed over to Xiao Heizi to command the long-term workers. There were still a few confiscated accounts, and he also asked the account room in the warehouse to collect them from house to house, and he had been sitting in the shadow of the bamboo bush behind the main house, doing nothing.

The incident of Happy Horse Mountain also gave him a big blow, but the bigger blow was that he didn't know how to deal with the Immortal Dao?

Although I know that the Immortal Dao will still look for the next moment of the native spleen, where is the next native person? Mu Qingming had no clue about this.

Doing nothing makes it easy to get irritable.

In order to avoid irritation, Mu Qingming had to do something to distract himself.

Seeing that there was no one left and right, he pulled out a scroll from his sleeve and looked through it casually.

This is a collection of books given to him by the owner of the ghost city, and unlike other bamboo scrolls and paper books, all the words in this book are slightly insect-shaped, which is an ancient Chu script.

And the pages are thinned human skin, bound and bound. It is somewhat similar to those evil books of the Immortal Dao.

Mu Qingming has been very busy, and he hasn't read this book seriously. Today, I also pulled it out of my sleeve casually, but I didn't expect to draw this book.

After turning two pages, he decided to take a closer look.

Anyway, everything in the courtyard is being arranged by Xiao Heizi, and everything is going on in an orderly manner, so Mu Qingming can take advantage of this to study this strange book.

He can understand the ancient Chu script to some extent.

The breeze after the rain was much cooler than usual, and a few bamboo leaves were shaken off under the swaying of the bamboo shadows.

The wood under the tree was quickly fascinated by the things recorded in the book; So much so that for a while, I forgot my previous troubles.

Mu Qingming looked at it carefully, and after a while, a piece of content in the book quickly attracted his attention.

On these two pages, there are not only many written records, but also pictures. If you look at a few of them, it is not difficult to see that they are the patterns of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys. They were encircled in the middle of the two pages, around the furnace that had been scorched by purple flames.

In addition to this, there are teardrops, sweat beads, blood beads, and other things. However, if you don't look at the text of the annotations next to these things, you can't see what they are at a glance like the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

Looking at the written records again, it took Mu Qingming half an hour to decipher most of the content on these two pages of the book.

It is recorded that the wizards of the ancient Dian Kingdom would cultivate a group of wizard warriors from the wizard group just like cultivating warriors. And the cultivation method of these warriors is to use wood liver, fire heart, water, kidneys, soil spleen, and golden lungs, as well as hot blood, tears, and strange beads of sweat to refine into golden pills, which can be swallowed orally by those wizards who are about to become warriors.

Those who take the golden pill will no longer be human. Although they have human bodies, their bodies can sense the power of the netherworld, and they can guide and control them, and perform thaumaturgy that is not human.

For a long time, the ancient Dian Kingdom relied on this killer feature to stand proudly on the edge of Dianchi Lake and dominate the southwest. It has completely achieved the goal of attacking and defending, and it is difficult to have an opponent in the southwest for a while.

In addition, agriculture, metallurgy, and animal husbandry are all thriving, so that the ancient Dian Kingdom, which is in a corner of peace, even dared to be a big land and a rich Central Plains regime in the early Han Dynasty.

At the end of these two pages, there is another line of small print, which says that the wizard who took this golden pill was extremely vigorous, but he was no longer human, and the wizards of the ancient Dian Kingdom named him a ghost man.

He is also a person who can override the power of the netherworld.

Turning this page again, the story behind it is even more exciting, and Mu Qingming unconsciously became engrossed, staring at the book in his hand with both eyes.

The latter content tells about the fact that shortly before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to the Dian Kingdom and the King of Dian surrendered, the ghosts among the wizards swelled.

They took advantage of their power and wanted to replace the king of Dian to rule the southwest, and they staged a coup d'Γ©tat on a dark and windy night.

Seeing this, Mu Qingming did not rush to continue looking back, but suddenly muttered in a low voice: "Why are most of the coups in a dark and windy night, it's really uncreative." ”。

After that, he continued to look at it again.

The next story is that in this coup, the ghost people did not directly attack the palace of the Dian king, because in their opinion, the warriors of the Dian people were not worth mentioning at all.

The first thing they attacked was the altar.

Inside the altar and all around the perimeter lived wizards and their retinues, servants, and slaves who served the wizards.

Except for the slaves who worked as coolies, the servants who were all familiar with witchcraft were all knowledgeable, and they were all more or less able to learn a lot of knowledge, and they also knew a little bit about conspiracy and conspiracy.

I have to say that the ghosts are also forced to solve them first.

But in this melee, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the wizards who won the battle found that the elixir formula for forging ghosts was gone.

The set of alchemy recipes brought out from the Chu State disappeared in the war. Although the surviving wizards remembered how the elixir was made, looking at the corpses of the ghosts and the dead wizards all over the land, they decided not to make ghosts again.

Since then, most wizards have been tired of the war and fled to the mountains to hide, so that the ancient Dian kingdom has lost the power of the witch clan. Then the rise of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, Emperor Wu's army came to the city, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave the king of Dian the seal, so that he could restore his people, and then, there is no record of the Dian Kingdom.

Seeing this, Mu Qingming couldn't help but gasp.

In the early years, his father wanted him not only to learn the secret art of locking dragons, but also to read a lot of books, so that Mu Qingming could be regarded as a knowledgeable person.

But after reading a lot of books, he only learned today that there was such an unknown dusty secret history of the ancient Dian Kingdom. Even though the fate of such a small country did not last long in the era of feudal dynasties, Mu Qingming was still stunned to see the story.

Thousands of miles of embankment, collapsed in the anthill. Mu Qingming couldn't imagine what would have happened to the war between the Han Dynasty and Ancient Dian if the ghosts hadn't broken out in a coup d'Γ©tat.

After a long sigh, he decided to finish reading the rest of the book.

What's next? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
