Chapter 16: Track down the Ghost King
I've heard of Mr. Yin and Yang, but I didn't expect to meet him here, and he saved my life, and my heart is full of emotion. I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then what are you doing here?"
The old man's strength had recovered a little at this time, and the weight on me was not so heavy, he sighed and said: "I am here to track down a ghost king, it shuttles back and forth between yin and yang, and in the yang it steals new corpses, absorbing the yang energy on the corpse that has not yet been dissipated, in order to cultivate its human form. At the same time, it will come to this ghost gate to hunt and eat Lifestealers in order to cultivate its magical powers. In another three years at most, it will be successful in cultivation, and by then, it will be too late. ”
When I heard the old man say this, I immediately remembered the ghost I met in the hospital morgue, could it be the ghost king that the old man said
I looked at the old man suspiciously, I couldn't believe that there really was such a terrifying, unbelievable ghost king in this world.
The old man was uncomfortable with me, and said unhappily: "Why, are you kid doubting my ability to think that the old man can't even fight the Lifestealer, how dare you come to track down the ghost king who preys on the Lifestealer?"
Actually, I didn't think so at all in my heart, but I was thinking about the ghost I saw who stole Zhang Ke's corpse.
The old man didn't wait for me to speak, he snorted coldly again, and said: "You kid is wrong, the old man's ability can only be displayed in the yang world, here, I am not the body, but just a wisp of soul, and the old man came here to track down the whereabouts of the ghost king, not to subdue it here." If it weren't for saving you, the old man wouldn't be so embarrassed today. In addition, the old man didn't expect to meet you when he went out today, he didn't have many talismans on his body, and they were the ordinary talismans with the smallest mana, otherwise, how could he be afraid of those life-eaters. ”
Hearing him say this, I knew the reason, and when I saw that he was unhappy because he misunderstood me, I hurriedly distinguished: "Old man, no, I don't underestimate your old age." I'm thinking about the ghost king you mentioned. ”
So, I told him in detail what I had seen in the hospital morgue. The old man looked at me in amazement, and after a long time said to me, "Boy, the old man has always wondered how you came here. ”
I smiled bitterly and said, "Don't hide it from you, I also think it's strange, why did I get on the soul car in a daze." ”
The old man said to me with concern: "Then you should be careful in the future, the first time you encounter a ghost, it will be easy to meet a ghost in the future." And the ghosts that travel through the sun are often evil spirits, so you should be careful. ”
I didn't need to say that I knew this, and I couldn't help but feel uneasy, and hurriedly asked him what he should do.
The old man looked at me for a long time, and said: "This should be the reason for the physique, I'm afraid it's not easy to do, I can't think of a good way for a while, today is limited in time, and if I have a fate in the future, I'm trying to help you." ”
I thanked him with a sense of urgency, and remembered that those ghosts entrusted me to find their souls scattered in the yang world, and hurriedly said, "Old man, since you are a yin walker, why don't you go and find their souls?"
The old man said: "Boy, the old man didn't mean to embarrass you, because their souls are scattered on the territory of Chongqing, and the old man's home is far away from Chongqing, so it is really inconvenient to search for their souls. Don't look at me that I'm very free now, but when I return to the yang world, my walking will be limited by my physical body, and it is really inconvenient to go to Chongqing, so I can only trouble you. ”
Saying this, the old man sighed again and said, "However, those ghosts may not be able to wait for you to find their souls." ”
Hearing the old man say this, I was taken aback, and I couldn't help but feel nervous, and hurriedly asked, "Are you worried that they will be eaten by Lifestealers?"
The old man nodded and said, "Yes, unless they are lucky enough to be able to escape, and you have to help them find their souls as soon as possible and let them enter the ghost gate smoothly, then you can ensure that they are safe and sound." ”
I don't know what's going on, although I know that those ghosts have nothing to do with me, but when the old man said this, my heart was very uncomfortable, and I secretly decided to find their souls as soon as possible. For this reason, I hurriedly asked the old man, "Old man, if I find their souls, how can I give them to you?"
The old man looked at me in surprise and sighed, "Child, it is rare for you to have a good heart, and I hope that those ghosts will get good luck because of you, and luck until you can find their souls." As for how I can find you to get your soul back, you don't have to worry, the soul storage bag I gave you is a treasure, and it will fly to the ghost gate to find me when the time comes. ”
Hearing the old man say this, I was relieved.
The old man sighed again and said, "Hey, it's a pity that I didn't find out the whereabouts of the ghost king this time. ”
I hurriedly said to the old man: "Old man, if the ghost I saw stealing my friend's body is really the ghost king you tracked down, it should be in Chongqing at this time, why don't you go to Chongqing to look for it."
The old man said: "It has just stolen a new corpse, that corpse can be used for three years, what it needs most now is to find ghosts to replenish its magic power, so its current whereabouts are difficult to determine, and it is most likely to wander around this ghost gate." ”
Since the terrible ghost king is probably not in Chongqing, my psychology is steady, and I want to return to the yang world immediately, this is not a place to stay for a long time after all, God knows when those life-eaters will suddenly chase after me or leave as soon as possible.
For this reason, I hurriedly begged the old man to help me return to the sun.
But the old man said, "Boy, I can only teach you how to go back, but I can't take you back myself." ”
I exclaimed, "Why?"
The old man said: "Because you are a living person, you can't cross the yin and yang realm without the soul car, you can only take another road to get to the yang world, but that road is very dangerous, whether you can go through it depends on your life." ”
I was more and more surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Then how can you go back?"
The old man said: "I just said, I am not the main body at this time, but just a wisp of soul, originally, if my mana is not exhausted by the life-eater just now, I can still use my mana to make a gap for you to pass through in the yin and yang realm." But not now, and it's too late, I only have one hour to stay here, and as I talk to you, I forget the hour, and then I remember that the hour is coming soon. ”
As I spoke, the old man's form was already beginning to blur, and I guessed that this was probably a sign that he was about to leave, and for this reason, I was anxious and afraid, and secretly blamed him for being confused, why didn't I tell him earlier
