Many people have a misconception that only living creatures have souls.

Of course, this is not a misunderstanding, this is a common sense, there is no soul without life, and there is no soul without soul.

However, in the circle of the cultivation world, there is a very special kind of soul, which we call the dead soul.

To put it bluntly, the dead soul should actually be regarded as a kind of goblin, which is a kind of existence between a soul and a goblin after the death of a living thing, after the soul undergoes a very complex and incomprehensible transformation.

It can exist independently of the world and does not need to be parasitic on any entity.

But it can't be very long, like an amphibian, able to get out of the water, but not for a long time.

The Necrons are one such being, and they need to return to the entity at regular intervals to recuperate.

But the difference between dead souls and ghosts or ghosts is that the matter they inhabit is not a living thing, but a dead thing.

They do not attach themselves to humans or living beings, they choose spiritual stones or earth or mountains to attach to.

Therefore, the dead souls are generally unsealed monks, because they do not harm people, and they are difficult to form, and they are rarely encountered.

I walked all the way north with Yingxue, and Yingxue also introduced me a little bit about the ghost god that this tiger spirit turned into after his death.

The magic weight is a tiger spirit who has practiced for thousands of years before the first life.

It was born as a white tiger, very rare, fierce by nature, harmed a lot of people, and gradually degenerated into a demon beast, but when it was about to fall, it met a monk from Zen Buddhism who finally surrendered to the demon after fighting with it for more than ten days.

Originally, the demon thought that he would be killed, but instead of killing it, the enlightened monk cut off a piece of meat from his thigh and fed it to it.

After eating the flesh of this enlightened monk with powerful mana and full of Buddha nature, Mozhong finally opened up his spiritual wisdom, gained wisdom, and knew how to cultivate.

Since then, he has officially embarked on the road of goblins, although the ferocity has been restrained a lot, but after all, it is nature, and the demon weight is much more ferocious than ordinary goblins.

After the death of the demon heavy, he became a lonely ghost and a wild ghost, and one day he had a dispute with a stall owner in a low-level ghost market, and the demon was fierce, and he was the magic weight of the thousand-year-old monster before his death, and even the yaksha who guarded the ghost market was destroyed.

In the end, several high-ranking Yin Si who arrived joined forces to subdue it, and they themselves wanted to wipe it out or throw it into the Infernal Hell.

But he was seen by the ghost emperor who happened to pass by, so the ghost emperor made a deal with the bastard, and exchanged a lot of treasures for the magic weight. Moreover, the Ghost Emperor personally helped it achieve the body of ghosts and gods, repaid the favor of the devil, guarded the treasure house for 3,000 years, and encountered countless attacks by other great forces in the underworld, and it stuck to its post and was very loyal.

However, this time, I don't know what stimulated me, Mozhong actually betrayed! In Yingxue's words, the Ghost Emperor was very angry, and sent several waves of powerful ghosts in a row, and even arranged for two of the four ghost kings under the seat to follow him, but there were no clues.

Only Yingxue relied on some special means to find a clue and knew that the demon was heading north.

Each part of the underworld has its own power, and there are some similarities between this and the earth, and different lands have different administrators. Although the Ghost Emperor is known as the largest force in the underworld, there are still some small forces around him who have joined forces to fight against the Ghost Emperor.

For example, the area called the Soul Forest that Yingxue and I stepped into at this time.

It is said that under the northern land, there is a very magical place.

This is a black forest, the leaves, branches, trunks, and even the dirt are black, and these woods automatically sway every day, engulfing all the ghosts and ghosts that pass by.

And it is said that the master of this soul forest is a powerful dead soul.

When I went all the way north with Yingxue, I held a small compass in my hand, this compass was not big, larger than the palm of my hand, bronze-colored, it was an old thing, I usually didn't take it out because many times it was enough to have the perception of the eye of the sky.

However, today I was tracking ghosts and gods in the underworld, and the eye of heaven was greatly restricted, so I used this old antique.

The compass is generally used to determine Feng Shui, lock the ancestral tomb, and sense the fluctuation of aura.

But this compass in my hand is a little special, it is called the soul chasing compass, which was invented by a foot merchant in the early years, and it is not very useful, and it is specially used to track some ghosts or dead souls.

However, it was not very precise and could only determine the general direction, so it was gradually replaced by some soul chasers and spells in the later stage.

I held this small bronze compass, and the hands on it kept changing direction, shaking violently from side to side.

"Go left."

I lowered my head and looked at the compass and was about to raise my feet to move forward, but I saw the outstretched blood stop.

"Let's take a detour, let's not go in here."

I was stunned when I heard Yingxue's words, raised my head, and saw countless tall black trees standing in front of me, each of which was about ten meters high, very strong and straight, but all of them were black.

I estimated that there were about a hundred trees in the whole forest, but because all of them were black, it looked very scary and strange at this time.

"Soul Forest? I didn't expect to really see the Northern Soul Forest. ”

I smiled and said, I have been looking forward to meeting this soul forest for a long time, and I have only seen it from books and historical materials before, but I didn't expect to bump into it today.

"What are you afraid of, let's go in, otherwise bypassing this soul forest, the distance between us and the demon will widen again."

I beckoned Bloodstream to move forward, but she wouldn't take a step.

"Do you know how many ghosts and undead souls die in this soul forest every year?"

Powerful ghosts and ghosts are more afraid of death than humans, and it is possible for the living to turn into ghosts and reincarnate after death, but ghosts and ghosts are different, they can't enter reincarnation, once they die, they will disappear completely, and there will be no trace of her in the world. Therefore, ghosts and ghosts are more life-sparing than humans.

"The ghosts and ghosts who die here every year, there are not 10,000 but also 5,000, and now after seeing the soul forest, the ghosts and ghosts are all taking a detour, even a ghost king like me is afraid of three points, let's take a detour, speed up, and catch up with the devil."

The shriveled blood on my face and a look of fear made me stunned for a moment.

"Well, it's a pity."

I couldn't help but shake my head regretfully, and was about to go around to the right with Yingxue, when a terrifying tiger roar rushed out of the woods!

"Roar!"

The sound of the tiger's roar shook all directions, full of domineering, but there was also a trace of misery in this domineering.

"Magic weight!"

Yingxue reacted immediately and said in surprise.

"It actually went deep into the Northern Soul Forest in order to avoid pursuit!"

I shrugged my shoulders and said helplessly, "It seems that we can only go in." ”

With that, I lifted my feet and walked inside.

As soon as I entered the Northern Soul Forest, the first thing I felt was the sound of crying in my ears.

Lonely souls and ghosts like to cry, they are miserable in life, and they can only release their sorrow with crying. And generally female ghosts cry more than male ghosts.

However, as soon as I walked into the Northern Soul Forest, all kinds of voices began to ring in my ears, some whispering, some crying for help, and more crying.

"Why are so many souls crying here, aren't they all swallowed?"

I asked, confused.

Yingxue looked very nervous, and stammered at this time: "These are the last sounds made by the ghost before it is devoured, and it is infinitely amplified and replayed, this is the trick that the soul forest likes. ”

In her hand, she held a two-finger-thick red whip, which was its self-defense weapon, and from the moment she stepped into the Soul Forest, she was on high alert, and she would make a fighting stance if she was disturbed.

"Roar!"

The tiger roar came again, shaking the entire Soul Forest.

"It's just ahead, let's get over there."

I shouted, and rushed over first, and after passing several black trees, I finally saw the magic weight, a super tiger with a white body and an elongation of more than ten meters, but it was a soul body, and it was not condensed.

At this moment, the demonic soul body was entangled in countless black vines, and it was struggling desperately.

"Blood, save me, save me."

When the demon saw me and Yingxue, he shouted, it was psychic and naturally able to speak.

Without a trace of hesitation, the red leather whip in his hand turned into a big red snake and rushed straight over, biting on the black vine.

The black vines ached and gradually loosened.

Seeing that the vines on his body were loosening, Mozhong immediately jumped up, and his whole body rushed out to escape.

"Come back."

I reached out and hooked it, and the invisible force instantly restrained it and pulled it violently in front of me.

"Who are you!"

Mozhong looked at me in amazement.

Before I could answer, the blood whip was whipped on the demon weight, which was a direct blow to the soul body, and the pain came from the soul.

"What about the treasure you stole?"

Bloody yelled.

"What do you call me stealing! Those were originally what I deserved, I have guarded the door for so many years, I should take a little, and if I want to enter reincarnation, I must bribe Meng Po. ”

It turned out that Mozhong wanted to be reincarnated, and he stole the treasure to bribe Meng Po.

"Where's the treasure?"

I asked.

Demon Zhong showed an unwilling expression at this time, and said hatefully: "I was snatched away by two extremely powerful ghosts, and I was injured and thrown into this soul forest!" ”

The treasure was robbed, which I never expected.
