Xuan Qingzi nodded, took a few steps forward, and walked in front of Hu Qianqiu.

"There are no outsiders here, let's just say, what have you experienced before?"

Although Hu Qianqiu didn't expect Xuan Qingzi to get straight to the point, he came this time for this purpose, so he said: "On the night of the Midyear Festival on July 15, Song Xiao and I were wandering outside the school, and when we walked to a remote place, the environment around me changed in an instant, and I entered another space, where there was a village called the Yin and Yang Realm. ”

"Yin and Yang Realm?" Heng Hao, who was behind Xuan Qingzi, suddenly interjected and asked.

"Hmm." Hu Qianqiu nodded, and then said that he was chasing and fighting with a group of ghosts in the Yin and Yang Realm, his forearm was bitten, and he was finally rescued by a mother-in-law and sent out of the Yin and Yang Realm.

Xuan Qingzi listened to the solemn expression behind him, turned to Heng Hao and asked, "Master, do you know what he said about the 'Yin and Yang Realm'?" ”

Heng Hao nodded, "I once read it in an ancient book in Benguan a few decades ago, about four hundred years ago, Benguan had a master who forgot the dust, amazingly talented, and knew the art of yin and yang change, he went out to travel in middle age, and like you, he strayed into a secret realm on the day of the Midyear Festival, called 'Yin and Yang Realm'."

There was a village there, inhabited by the ghosts of the dead, but the Forgotten Dust Daoist could not touch them, and there was a stone tablet that suppressed evil things, and I can't remember exactly what it suppressed.

The Yin and Yang Realm has always been dark night, and he can't wait for sunrise, and he doesn't know how long he has been there, and he has never been able to find a way to leave, and in the end he was sent away like you, but he built a bonfire when he left this world, and the flames were still beating when he returned, which was really another miracle.

This bizarre encounter was written into a book by him and handed down, but since the catastrophe that Benguan experienced, many books have not been sorted out and repaired, damaged and lost, and the same is true of that travelogue, a few years ago I wanted to find it out, but I couldn't find it. ”

Hu Qianqiu thought for a while and said, "I was in the Yin and Yang Realm for almost half an hour, but it seems that only a moment has passed in this life, maybe the time passage in the Yin and Yang Realm is different from the present life, even if that Forgotten Dust Dao Master has been in the Yin and Yang Realm for several days, I'm afraid it has only been a few minutes in the present world." ”

Xuan Qingzi and Heng Hao both nodded, not questioning Hu Qianqiu's speculation.

Hu Qianqiu continued: "But there is one thing that is very strange, the Forgotten Dust Daoist can't touch those ghosts, but I can, so I was asked by a little ghost, leaving this dark black tooth mark on my arm, and the old woman also said that I am different from ordinary living people, and I don't belong to the yang world, what's going on?" ”

Heng Hao and Xuan Qingzi glanced at each other, the latter stopped talking, and finally Heng Hao patted him on the shoulder, and Xuan Qingzi said slowly: "Your situation is a bit complicated, and my master and I don't dare to assert it, but give me some time, I will definitely be able to find out." ”

So far, Hu Qianqiu has no other way but to nod.

"As for the tooth marks on your arm, I know something." Xuan Qingzi continued, "If my guess is correct, you should be contaminated with soul poison. ”

"Soul poison?" Hu Qianqiu was puzzled.

Xuan Qingzi nodded, "That's right, it's soul poison." As I said before, after death, the three souls leave the body, and the seven spirits die out with the corruption of the body, but some people have too heavy resentment during their lifetime, and after death, the three souls are attached to the black cat, a heavy animal with heavy yin energy, so that its own soul gradually decays, and at this time, the black cat has soul poison on its body, and if ordinary people are scratched by it, they will also be contaminated with soul poison, and the soul will gradually decay, lose their minds, and eventually become a walking corpse. ”

Even Hu Qianqiu swallowed his saliva involuntarily at this time.

Xuan Qingzi continued: "However, the conditions for producing soul poison are extremely harsh, and there have not been a few cases since ancient times, although you are not scratched by a black cat, but you are bitten by a ghost, and your soul should also be corroded, just like being contaminated with soul poison." ”

Hu Qianqiu let out an "oh" and replied, "Do you know how to cure this soul poison?" ”

"I don't know."

When Hu Qianqiu heard this, he almost fell off the bed while sitting, he just wanted to speak, but Xuan Qingzi spoke again: "But glutinous rice can remove corpse poison, and corpse poison is caused by the gradual decay of the spirit in the corpse, this soul poison and corpse poison are one and the same, so maybe glutinous rice also has some effect on the soul poison on your body." ”

Hu Qianqiu was stunned for a moment, and nodded helplessly, now he can only be a dead horse doctor.

Xuan Qingzi took out a small package from his arms, and after opening it, it was a small pile of crystal clear glutinous rice, he grabbed a handful and pasted it on Hu Qianqiu's hand, Hu Qianqiu didn't feel anything other than the touch from his skin.

Just when Hu Qianqiu thought that Xuan Qingzi was doing this in vain, the wisps of subtle black qi that were originally hovering around the tooth marks on his arm slowly wrapped around the grains of glutinous rice, and the glutinous rice gradually turned black at an extremely slow speed.

Hu Qianqiu was overjoyed, "It seems that it really works." ”

Xuan Qingzi nodded, spread a layer of glutinous rice on Hu Qianqiu's arm, and wrapped the glutinous rice and forearm with gauze.

"That's it, change it every six hours after that, and after a few days it shouldn't be a big problem." As he spoke, Xuan Qingzi handed over the gauze in his hand to Hu Qianqiu along with the small bag of glutinous rice.

Hu Qianqiu put away the gauze and glutinous rice and nodded slowly. When he and Xuan Qingzi met for the first time last night, the other party always called himself "Poor Dao", and the way he spoke was somewhat similar to the ancient vernacular, but now Xuan Qingzi called himself "I", and the way he spoke has changed a lot, and the sense of incongruity he gave Hu Qianqiu has become stronger and stronger.

However, although Hu Qianqiu was puzzled in his heart, he was not stupid after all, and he would not choose to ask at this time.

Hu Qianqiu turned his arm, the gauze did not affect the activity, and he didn't know if it was a psychological effect, he felt that after applying a layer of glutinous rice on his arm, the symptoms of dizziness were alleviated, and his body was not so weak.

Hu Qianqiu stood up and moved his body, but as soon as his body stretched out, there was a "gurgling" sound from the Five Organs Temple, although he had just eaten at ten o'clock, but from morning to now, he was moving things to Fu Yuan, and it was mountaineering, and his physical energy consumption was not small, and he didn't feel hungry just lying down and resting.

Xuan Qingzi smiled, "It seems that you are hungry, now that the meal has passed, there are a few steamed buns left in the kitchen, if you want to eat it, you can eat it if you don't dislike it, the kitchen is downstairs in this room." ”

When Hu Qianqiu heard this, he went downstairs without saying a word and ran to the kitchen.

Xuan Qingzi looked at Hu Qianqiu's impatient appearance, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and Heng Hao went out to look at Hu Qianqiu's back and went back to this room.

"Why didn't you tell him everything you knew?"

Xuan Qingzi shook his head, "He has faced too many things recently, even if he is calm and much more tolerant than ordinary people, I am afraid that he will not be able to accept it for a while, and his emotions will collapse and the situation will deteriorate further." ”

Heng Hao looked at the black wooden sword hanging on the wall, "Maybe he's stronger than we thought." ”

Xuan Qingzi pressed the left side of his face with his hand, and the half-wrinkled face was instantly sunken in, as if air had been squeezed out.

"I hope so."

After Hu Qianqiu arrived in the kitchen, there were still three steamed buns left on the plate on the table, Hu Qianqiu picked it up and bit it like a vicious tiger pounced on a stone, swallowed it without chewing a few bites, and almost choked half to death, but fortunately, there was a big bowl of water next to the steamed buns, Hu Qianqiu made steamed buns with clear water, although it was tasteless, but at least it was full.

Three steamed buns, a big bowl of underwater belly, Hu Qianqiu still feels a little stretched.

At this time, Xuan Qingzi also approached the kitchen.

"When you've eaten and drunk, it's time to get down to business."

Hu Qianqiu wiped the steamed bun crumbs from the corner of his mouth, and only nodded after a full burp.

Xuan Qingzi said with a smile: "Originally, I called you here to teach you the method of cultivation, but to cultivate, first strengthen your body, although your physical fitness is okay, but your body is still a little emaciated, and you start cultivating rashly, I am afraid that your body will not be able to bear it, but it will accelerate the impact of the ghost eye on you." ”

Hu Qianqiu nodded, "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, I understand." ”

"Hmm," Xuan Qingzi responded, "You come with me." ”

After speaking, he took Hu Qianqiu through the wall behind Ling Xuguan and arrived at a cliff.

Hu Qianqiu stepped forward and looked down, the cliff was not too high from the ground, only more than 20 meters away, but it was condescending without protection, and he was still slightly frightened.

Xuan Qingzi took Hu Qianqiu down from the side path and reached the bottom of the cliff.

Xuan Qingzi looked up at it and said, From today onwards, you will climb this cliff with your bare hands every day, practice for a period of time, and you can practice at the same time.

Hu Qianqiu nodded, rock climbing is indeed a good way to train, it can exercise the ability of all aspects of the body.

Xuan Qingzi said again: "Then you can practice slowly by yourself." With that, he walked back.

Hu Qianqiu hurriedly stopped him, "There are no protective measures?" ”

Xuan Qingzi looked at Hu Qianqiu and asked suspiciously, "Do you think this is like a place with protective measures?" ”

Hu Qianqiu was speechless.

"Don't worry, this Lingxuguan Taoist priests of all generations have come over like this, if you think you don't lose to them, just prove it, if you admit it, it doesn't matter if you go down the mountain, it's not a bad choice to get drunk and dream of dying for the past three years."

Although Hu Qianqiu is calm and doesn't like trouble, he is very strong in some aspects, and he must either not do one thing or do his best. When Xuan Qingzi said this, Hu Qianqiu's fighting spirit was aroused.

Hu Qianqiu didn't talk nonsense to Xuan Qingzi, he directly pinpointed the protruding stones on the cliff, and climbed up while grabbing them.

Xuan Qingzi looked at it from the side, turned around and left with a smile.
