Chapter 223: Demons Snatch Souls
The road they walked through during the day, and everything seemed normal. But at night, the road becomes ghostly.
In addition to the overly cold temperatures around it, there was an eerie smell in the air.
The Yuan Circle carefully followed the meditation cultivator, looking around at the surroundings by the moonlight.
Those beautiful peach blossom trees during the day look a little scary at night, like monsters with teeth and claws, staring at pedestrians, as if they are going to devour people in the next second.
"Didn't you say that the suspicion was that the demon took the soul? But after such a long time, there is not even a ghost shadow. ”
"Wait. If it's really an evil ghost, it usually only appears when it's a child, and it's still early! Jieya seems to be walking around his own back garden, leisurely and slowly. Hearing the words of the Yuan Circle, he replied casually.
Sub-hour?
It's only dark now, and it's estimated that the end of the unitary time has not yet arrived, and there are still two hours left in the ion time!
Do you have to wait two more hours on this blackened mountain?
It's not that the Yuan circle is afraid, it's just that it's okay during the day, you can enjoy the scenery while waiting, blowing the wind and basking in the sun, and the time is good to pass the time. But on this big night, the surrounding atmosphere is gloomy, and these two hours are really not good.
"Can't we find a way to lure him out?"
Jieya turned around in the moonlight, and his face, which was whiter than a woman, was illuminated by the white moonlight, which was simply a little frighteningly white.
He said, "Hmm...... That's fine. But...... Since the other party wants to take the soul, then there must be a soul for him to take it in order to attract it! But of the four of us, you're the only one. The thief looked at the Yuan Circle with a smile, and said shyly, "So...... Or, circle circle, you are wronged, be a bait, and lure him out? ”
Yuan Quanquan thought for a while, it seemed to make sense, it was not impossible to let her be a bait, and was about to nod, but he heard the meditation next to him say in a deep voice: "No." ”
Jieya looked at it with an expression of "I guessed it would be like this", he didn't plan to really let the Yuan Circle be used as bait, with him, the king of Hades, does he still need a mortal to take the lead?
But he didn't need to go.
Three of the four people here are masters, so the task of "luring the enemy" naturally falls to Yan Jiu.
I don't know what spell Jieya cast, which hid the ghost energy on Yan Jiu's body, making him look like an ordinary mortal. Of course, in the eyes of the Yuan Circle, he is completely no different from before, after all, this ghost is not ghostly, she is just a mortal, and she can't feel it.
The "modified" Yan Jiu was used as bait to lure the haunting evil ghost out, while the Yuan Circle and the Immortal Cultivation Jieya were hidden not far away by the enchantment opened by the Immortal Cultivation, waiting quietly.
"Hey, I have a question. As you suspected, the strange deaths on this slope were caused by the ghost's soul. But why does this evil spirit take the souls of others? What will happen to him if he takes the soul of someone else? ”
Is it possible to survive it?
Jieya adheres to the fine tradition of "being able to lie down and never sit, and being able to sit and never stand", took off his robe and sat down on a stone next to him.
"There is only one purpose for the demon to take the soul, and that is to strengthen himself. And why it should be stronger, there are no more than two reasons. First, revenge. Some people are killed or killed by others, and after death, they are so angry that their souls cannot enter the underworld, so they will continue to wander in the mortal world, looking for opportunities to take revenge. The second reason is that he is unwilling to die like this and wants to return to the yang world. ”
"Huh? Back to the sun? Devouring the souls of others can bring the dead back to the yang realm? "If that's the case, then it's not messed up?
Jieya said what Yuan Quanquan was thinking, "How is it possible? If this is the case, then will this yang world and the underworld not be chaotic? ”
But if you can't come back to life, why ......
Yuan Quanquan continued to express her doubts with an expression.
"The vast majority of people in this world don't want to die, they want to live for a long time. Sometimes we know it's impossible, but we still try with the slightest hope, even if it comes at the cost of someone else's life. Sometimes human nature is so despicable, isn't it? ”
Jieya's words seemed to bring a little emotion, but looking at his expression, he looked at the same as usual, a leisurely appearance.
Yuan Quanquan looked at Jieya thoughtfully for a while, and his expression was quite serious, but he was broken by this guy's words in a second.
"Hey, don't look at me like this, I can't beat your family, don't hurt me!"
Metaverse: "......"
Rolling his eyes, he silently complained in his heart, Yuan Quanquan was silent for a moment, and spoke again: "How do you generally deal with this situation?" Escort the evil spirits back to the eighteen layers of hell in the underworld? Or do you directly ...... "Like before the meditation practice, pinch the other party to the point that their souls are scattered and disappear into this world forever?"
Although she didn't say the second half of the sentence, how could Jieya not understand her unfinished meaning?
"Well, it depends. Look at the extent of his evil. ”
This is easy to understand, Yuan Quanquan nodded.
Discretion.
The enchantment set up by the Immortal Cultivation can not only hide their figures, but also can't even transmit their voices, so when the Yuan Circle and Jieya speak, they don't have to worry about startling the snake and scaring the evil ghost away.
No one else can see them, but they can see through the transparent barrier.
Yan Jiu is an honest baby, let him be the bait, he really treats himself as a rabbit to be slaughtered, staying where he is, waiting for the predator to arrive.
He was like when he met the robbers before, the old monk sat cross-legged in a clearing, and he was actually in the mood to look up at the stars!
Seeing that they were sitting leisurely one by one, and the Yuan Quanquan was no longer standing, and was about to find a clean place to sit down and rest for a while, suddenly a hand stretched out from the side and pulled her over.
I didn't react for a while and was taken aback, and before I felt the breath of meditation, Yuan Quanquan almost kicked it subconsciously, but fortunately stopped it halfway. Otherwise, this kick will pass, and the "sexual happiness" of the rest of her life will be buried.
The meditation cultivator pulled her over, sat on a stone pier by himself, hugged the waist of the Yuan Circle and pressed the person to his knees, hugged her on his lap, and handed his chin forward, just resting on the shoulder of the Yuan Circle.
Some people are willing to be humanoid stools, and the metaverse circle is happy to enjoy it.
Along the way, Jieya doesn't know how many times he has been abused by the tired relationship between these two people, and now he is almost immune. Seeing the two people on the opposite side "sitting on top of each other", he looked away very calmly, brushed his fan open, and fanned it elegantly.
But in his heart, he gritted his teeth and secretly swore that Lao Tzu would also go to the girl to fall in love!
Talking about love can't be realized for the time being, but eliminating harm for the people can be implemented immediately.
Yan Jiu sat like a statue for nearly an hour, so long that the Yuan Circle couldn't stay up and fell asleep leaning on the body of the cultivator.
And just as she was sleeping soundly, she suddenly heard a strange noise. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the place where Yan Jiufang was located was empty, and he didn't know where he went.
As soon as I wanted to ask what had happened, I heard a sound again, like a human roar, but it felt like a beast, rough and hoarse, and it sounded eerie and terrifying in this darkness.
"What sound?" Coming out of the meditation cultivator's arms, he stood up and looked around, and Yuan Huanhuan rubbed his arms and rubbed the goosebumps down.
"Here we are." The meditation cultivator stepped forward to protect the Yuan Circle by his side, stretched out his hand to hold her, and his eyes were like a torch shooting straight to somewhere in front of him.
As soon as the words fell, a cloud of black gas suddenly burst out from the peach blossom forest not far away, and after this black gas, another figure quickly swept out.
It's Flame Nine.
Yan Jiufang sat quietly waiting for the prey to take the bait, and when he felt the sudden surge of eerie aura around him, he still stood still, waiting for the opportunity, ready to take the prey down in one fell swoop.
However, he didn't expect that this demon would react so quickly, and as soon as he made a move, he quickly ran away.
Ordinary ghosts don't even have a chance to escape in front of Yan Jiu, this one, because they have devoured the souls of many living people, their ghost power has increased greatly, and compared to ordinary ghosts, their strength naturally can't be compared.
However, Yan Jiu is also the most powerful subordinate under the Ghost King, and if he can't even subdue a small demon, he doesn't have to mix around the Ghost King.
The Yuan Circle Circle was still standing within the Meditation Boundary, and the evil spirits outside could not see them.
Just like the evil ghost who possessed Qian Laosan in the capital a few days ago, this unknown evil ghost was also filled with a thick layer of black gas. Compared with the one that possessed Qian Laosan, the black qi was thicker, and he couldn't see it at all, and he could only vaguely identify the silhouette of a human figure through the swirling black qi.
The demon moved quite fast, so fast that Jieya was a little surprised.
"This speed...... How many souls have been taken from this? Seeing that Yuan Quanquan looked at him suspiciously, he spontaneously explained, "This evil ghost takes souls, and the more souls he takes, the stronger his ability will be, and the faster he will move." Looking at the situation of this one, at least it swallowed more than a dozen souls, right? ”
Yuan Quanquan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, thought for a while and said, "...... So many people died for no apparent reason, doesn't the government in this jurisdiction care? ”
Jieya shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either.
After asking the Yuan Circle, he figured out the reason again.
This kind of abnormal case, even if the government wants to take care of it, I am afraid that it is powerless, and it is estimated that more people will die for no reason.
The two of them were talking here, and Yan Jiu over there also fought with the evil ghosts surrounded by black gas.
An evil ghost like this, who has taken the souls of more than a dozen living people, is much more difficult to deal with than ordinary ghosts, and Rao is a spirit ghost with a high level of cultivation like Yan Jiu really fought with him for a while.
Yuan Quanquan stood in the enchantment, and saw that black qi jumped here and there, very flexible, but he was also chased by Yan Jiu and couldn't escape if he wanted to.
There is still a big difference in the strength of the two, no matter how powerful the evil ghost is, he is not Yan Jiu's opponent, and it didn't take long for Yan Jiu to be pinched by Yan Jiu's neck and brought to the front of the cultivator.
