I was a little curious, and I had heard that ginseng would turn into a child, so I especially wanted to see what the blood ginseng really looked like.

Because it was still a little time before dawn, Brother Neku and I didn't sleep, and when I saw him in a mess, I asked what had just happened.

"What else can I do, deal with those things!"

Brother Neku was tidying up his hairstyle, and muttered unhappily, I found that Brother Neku has a characteristic, that is, he cares about his hairstyle very much, and at any time, he will carry a mirror and a bottle of gel cream on his body.

In his words, the head can be broken and bleeding, the hairstyle can not be messy, and there is a wise saying: Men, there is no love without a hairstyle!

I touched my head and muttered in my heart, I don't know if it has something to do with this reason that I have been single for so many years.

Then I asked him what the "ghost general" was before.

Neku explained that ghosts are also divided into several levels, and here it mainly refers to powerful ghosts that can harm people, and ordinary ghosts are not counted in it.

According to the strength of the ghost, it is divided into ghost heads, ghost soldiers, ghost generals, and ghost kings, in addition to these four levels, it is rumored that there is an existence called a heavenly ghost on it, but Brother Neku said that he only heard about that thing, and he didn't see it with his own eyes, and he didn't know if it was real.

Then he told me about last night, and that any place that can breed blood ginseng must be a place of extreme yin, so there will be a lot of dirt.

This is also the reason why blood ginseng is so precious, but few people come to pick it, in addition to those ghosts, you also need to be particularly lucky, blood ginseng is not always able to meet, and said that I was lucky, I just came to the first day to meet.

Then he said that most of the ghost heads he encountered last night were ghost heads, and there were also a few ghost soldiers mixed in them, which he expected, and his strength was enough to deal with it, so he didn't let Tang Ning and Long Chuan come together.

But he didn't know where a ghost king came out, which was far beyond his expectations, he tried his best, and the ghost general was just a junior ghost general, so he got away with it.

I didn't understand what he said, so I asked, "Since you know that this is the Land of Extreme Yin, and after so many years, how could you not have thought that there are ghost generals here?" ”

In my opinion, ghosts all cultivate on their own, and since this place is so suitable for ghost cultivation, Brother Neiku should be prepared in advance to have ghost generals.

How do you know that when Brother Neku heard this, he glanced at me with disgust, "Do you think the ghost will be the cabbage in the vegetable market, and you can touch it casually?" ”

I said otherwise?

"This thing is very evil, if a person has a lot of resentment after death, he will become a harmful ghost head, under certain conditions, the ghost head can cultivate into a ghost soldier by itself, as for the ghost general, it is not a ghost that can cultivate by himself."

"The ghost general must be artificially refined, in other words, if there is no ghost refiner with strong spells, it is impossible for the ghost soldier to achieve the cultivation of the ghost general no matter what, and the process of refining a ghost general is very complicated and difficult, so this kind of thing is generally not encountered."

After listening to this, I thought about it for a moment and asked, "Then you mean that this ghost will be deliberately placed here?" ”

Brother Neku nodded, "It should be, that ghost will be a junior ghost general who has just been refined, there must be a ghost refiner who put it here to absorb the Qi of Extreme Yin, but I didn't expect to be bumped into by me." ”

The two of us were chatting, and the sky began to gradually brighten, Brother Neku stood up and patted his pants, "Let's go, hurry up and catch that blood ginseng, after the ghost will die, its owner will soon be able to get the sense, and it will be troublesome to find the door when the time comes, I am most annoyed to deal with those ghost refiners." ”

I also stood up and asked, "Is the ghost refiner very powerful?" ”

"Not necessarily."

Brother Neku dragged one end of the red thread in his hand, and said, "The ghost alchemist can also be regarded as a branch of the occult world, in addition, the metaphysics world also has many branches such as Taoism, Buddha seals, generals, Gu arts, etc., I can't say which branch is the most powerful, it depends on personal cultivation." ”

Seeing that I didn't understand well, he added, "You can understand it this way, everything and supernatural phenomena that cannot be explained by ordinary science can be classified as the realm of occultism. ”

While walking along the red line, the two of us chatted about some things related to the occult world, there was too much content, and I didn't understand the specifics, I only knew that Brother Neiku, An Ran, Longchuan and Tang Ning all belonged to the Taoist branch in the metaphysical world.

The red line twisted and turned, and Brother Neku and I followed it for more than half an hour before we saw the red line get under a bluestone slab.

"That's it!"

Brother Neku looked a little excited, took out a roll of red thread from his pocket, circled around the bluestone slab, and then lit three sticks of incense beside him, muttering in his mouth for a while, as if he was chanting some incantation.

After doing all this, he gave me a red cloth, "Later, I will lift the bluestone slab, and if you see that thing, cover it with this red cloth, and remember, you must hold it down, no matter what you see or hear, you must not let go, as soon as you let go, it will disappear immediately, and you will never find it again." ”

I spread the red cloth on the palms of both hands and nodded to Brother Aki.

One, two, three!

As soon as he shouted three, Brother Neku lifted the bluestone slab.

Suddenly, an extremely cold air rushed into my face, as if I had fallen into an ice cave, and at the same time there was a very strong smell of blood, which choked me and almost vomited.

I saw that under the bluestone slab, there was a ginseng that was at least as thick as a baby's forearm, and it was different from ordinary ginseng, it was all blood-red, as if it had just been fished out of a blood tank.

And last night, the thread hung on one of the whiskers of the blood ginseng.

I hurriedly put the red cloth in my hand towards the blood ginseng, and as soon as I came into contact with the blood ginseng, I suddenly heard a cry.

The blood ginseng began to wriggle violently, and the force was so great that I could barely hold it down with all the strength I could eat.

The sound it made was exactly the same as that of a baby's cry, and it was so miserable that it was like being wronged.

I thought of the little boy who wore a red belly pocket and braided it last night, and I felt strange in my heart, and I felt the urge to let it go.

But human nature is selfish after all, thinking that only in this way can I continue to live, so I gritted my teeth and continued to hold it down.

After about five minutes, the blood ginseng finally stopped crying and stopped moving.

Brother Neku asked me to wrap it in a red cloth, but I must not open it.

On the way back, Brother Neku seemed to be in a very good mood, whistling while driving.

I sat next to me, holding a red cloth wrapped in blood ginseng in my hand, and I felt very uncomfortable in my heart, not only because of the guilt of this blood ginseng, but also because of a kind of shame for myself.

In the past, I always felt that although I was a little poor, I definitely didn't have to say anything about my character, and I thought that I was the kind of character that was poor and untouchable, mighty and unyielding.

But I didn't expect that at the moment of life and death, I would still do such things that violate my conscience.

Neku said that this blood ginseng has a lifespan of at least hundreds of years, and after it is transformed into essence, it has its own independent emotions and thoughts, in other words, except for the different categories, its essence is similar to that of an ordinary human child.

It's just that compared with humans, this blood ginseng is more simple, because it has stayed in the mountains for a long time and has not been in contact with the outside world, so its heart is very simple, and its vigilance is not strong, so it will be easily obtained.

And after I heard these words, my heart became even more sad, thinking that I must do more good deeds in the future to make up for this beast I did today.

Back in the dormitory, Neku burned some paper next to the red cloth and chanted a spell before I opened it.

The blood ginseng has dried up, and it looks similar to ordinary hundred-year-old ginseng except for the different colors on the surface, but it is quite unpleasant in my heart.

Brother Neku asked me to slice this blood ginseng, boil it into soup, and swallow it with the residue.

When I was doing this, Brother Neku seemed to see what I was thinking, so he came over and patted me on the shoulder, "Don't feel too guilty, there are many things in this world that we can't control, and many things have already been written at the beginning, just like this blood ginseng, it should be like this, otherwise, it won't be so easy for us to catch." ”

I was already very sad in my heart, and when I heard Brother Neku say these words, I inevitably felt a little resistant, so I asked rhetorically, "Since the ending is already doomed, why do people have to work hard to do something, they can't change the ending anyway, why bother?" ”

Brother Neku smiled bitterly, and an indescribable emotion flashed in his eyes, "The saddest thing about people is that they can never predict what their ending will be, so they have to keep working hard, and human nature is like this, knowing that some things are impossible, but I can't control it to do it, such as ......"

Halfway through the words, Brother Neku didn't continue, but walked to the window alone, looking out in a daze, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he remembered some memory that he didn't want to remember.

Although Brother Neku is a little nervous, I think what I just said is quite reliable.

Because I don't know how it will end, I can only do my best to fight, which is like buying a lottery ticket, no one can predict whether they will win the lottery, but they have to buy it to have a chance of winning.

After taking the bowl of blood-red soup with the residue, I felt a warm breath flowing through my body, which made me feel very relaxed, and I felt that my whole body was full of strength.

I asked Brother Neku, is it okay after I eat this blood ginseng?

Brother Neku glanced at me with disgust, "Where is it so simple, this blood ginseng can also help you replenish the yang qi you have lost, but those dirty things are still eyeing you, as long as you don't fundamentally solve the problem for a day, you can't get out of danger for a day." ”

I asked, "What is the root of all this?" ”

Brother Neku said that he couldn't be sure about this for the time being, but the first step was to find the thing that had been pretending to be me, maybe that thing was the breakthrough of everything.

At this time, Brother Neku's phone rang suddenly, he connected the phone like lightning, and said with a lewd smile in a voice that couldn't be gentle: "Hey, Tang Ning, what's the ...... about being so late?"

Halfway through his words, Brother Neku's face suddenly turned white!
