Chapter 37: The Art of Serving Ghosts
In an underground secret room that I don't know how many meters from the ground, a lewd old man wearing a wolf's coat, gray-white hair draped over his shoulders, a few blue lights flashing in his eyes, and holding a skeletal scepter tightly in one hand, said something in his mouth. As the spell beats, a trace of white gas emanates from a blue crystal bottle on the offering table that has been prepared in the secret room, accompanied by various hysterical howls.
"Well, yes, yes, although these mortal souls are not as pure as monks, they are better than a large number of them, and they are easy to get their hands on!
On one side of the wall of the chamber, two black iron chains hung from it. One end of the chain was nailed to the wall with a huge rivet, and at the other end was a girl in green clothes. The girl's hair was scattered, obscuring her low face. However, from the faint breathing sound she made from time to time, it could be seen that at least she was still alive.
And directly above this underground chamber is a small village that used to be inhabited by dozens of families. But now there was a storm in the whole village, and there was not a single living person in the whole village, not even a living chicken
On the official road, which is about five miles away from here, an old man and a young man seem to be slow, but in fact, they are walking towards the direction of the small mountain village at a very fast speed.
"Lin Chen, we'll be there in three days," said the old man who walked in front.
These two people are none other than Lin Chen and Zhu Yuanzheng who came out of the valley. Lin Chen and Zhu Yuanzheng were both monks, and their travel speed was naturally not comparable to ordinary people. Along the way, Lin Chen learned from Zhu Yuanzheng that the Tiger City they were going to this time turned out to be one of the five main cities of the human race, and it was ten days away from the valley. According to Lin Chen's current speed, there is a distance of hundreds of thousands of miles between the two.
But fortunately, Lin Chen successfully advanced to the middle of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and his physical body was also refined. Otherwise, it would be a bit reluctant to let Lin Chen travel tens of thousands of miles a day. If this was placed before Lin Chen came into contact with Xiuzhen, it would be completely unthinkable.
"It's peaceful along the way, but the closer you get to Tiger City, the greater the chance of meeting your fellow Daoists on the way!" Lin Chen was secretly happy in his heart, although he was forced by Zhu Yuanzheng to go to Tiger City this time, but it was not another opportunity for Lin Chen. Being able to truly step into the cultivation realm, isn't this the purpose of Lin Chen's participation in the Qishan Competition.
"Lin Chen, how are you learning the basic use of Yuan Force that I taught you now?" What surprised Zhu Yuanzheng was that Lin Chen didn't even know the basic spells, you must know that Lin Chen was the strength of the middle of the Kaiyuan Dynasty. This kind of strength is already quite good for his peers, but Lin Chen doesn't even know basic spells, wouldn't this make people laugh if it is passed out. In desperation, Zhu Yuanzheng had no choice but to become Lin Chen's teacher and teach him some basic spells.
"Almost, I've seen almost all the Yuan Force operation routes you gave me, as well as the "Basic Spell Hundred Solutions". Now I can cast a few basic spells, but I'm still a little rusty."
Lin Chen's biggest gain along the way was to learn to use Yuan Force, although the monk himself needed to find the planet corresponding to him, and then absorb the star power. However, the monk cannot directly invoke the star power, but needs to convert the star power into the yuan power so that it can be used. There are many ways to use Yuan Li, among which spells are the most common one. A monk who doesn't know how to spell is actually about the same as a mortal, and even inferior to some high-level hunters.
"Well, that's good!" Zhu Yuanzheng nodded with satisfaction, in fact, along the way, Lin Chen would secretly find a no-man's land to practice spells every night, and he saw all of this.
After half a cup of tea, Lin Chen and Zhu Yuan were standing outside the gate of the small village, looking at the village with a gust of wind and clouds, and their eyes were vigilantly looking at the situation in the village.
"Lin Chen is a little weird here, but this small village is located on our only way. We can only pass through the village, I'm afraid there will be some trouble later, you take care of yourself, I may not be able to take care of you in time!" Zhu Yuanzheng looked serious, as if he sensed something.
In fact, it is no wonder that Zhu Yuan is so nervous, you must know that it is noon at this time, which is the time of the day when the congenital anger is the strongest. However, this small village is cloudy and windy, and there is no life at all. In other words, the yin qi in this place is so strong that it can compete with the innate gang qi, so it really has to arouse Zhu Yuanzheng's vigilance.
"Well, Senior Zhu, just rest assured" Lin Chen nodded solemnly, since Zhu Yuanzheng, the great master at least in the early stage of Juyuan, was so nervous, it meant that there must be something strange here. Lin Chen is just a little minion in the middle of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and naturally he does not have the slightest slack capital.
"Well, let's go" Zhu Yuanzheng flipped with one hand, and a wolf sword appeared in his hand. His feet were like the wind, and there was no movement at all, and he was followed by Lin Chen, who also looked nervous.
Refining the Heavenly Wolf Sword requires five sharp claws from the first toe of the Heavenly Wolf, and then mixed with other precious minerals, and it is only formed after being cultivated in the earth and fire for 7749 days. In terms of quality alone, the Heavenly Wolf Sword is already a mid-grade Xuan-level, you must know that Wu Ma's Hongyan Sword is just a low-grade Xuan-level sword, as for Lin Chen, he can only use a short blade of mortal iron that he took from an unknown blacksmith shop.
At the same time, in the underground secret room, the obscene old man reached out and picked up the blue crystal bottle on the offering table, and laughed a few times in his mouth.
"Quack, it's almost done!" The old man held the crystal bottle in his right hand, and his eyes, which were originally full of blue light, became brighter and brighter.
Immediately, the old man in the wolf robe solemnly put the crystal bottle into the Nayuan ring, and his already dry and wrinkled head turned his head suddenly, with a lewd smile on his face. At the same time, the right hand was already restlessly stretched into the clothes of the girl trapped in the secret room, and the part where it grasped was the girl's twin peaks.
The girl was attacked by this sudden attack, and only let out a slight murmur, and did not even raise her head, obviously the girl was numb to this.
"Oh, it still feels very good! It's just a pity, the old man can't pick your Yuan Yin for the time being, otherwise the power of the refined blood corpse will be much worse!" the old man muttered to himself while lewdly kneading the girl's pride.
"Huh?" the old man in the secret room suddenly exclaimed, and then laughed strangely, "Gaga, God help me! Since someone sent it to the door, then I will accept it unceremoniously." My bottle of corpse jade pill just lacks the spirit of two monks, and now God has sent me two. Quack, the strength of the older ones was the same as mine, and they were all in the early stage of Juyuan, plus that kid in the middle of the Kaiyuan period, I really can't provoke them. But now, now that you've walked into my array, it's different!
At this time, Lin Chen and Zhu Yuanzheng on the ground didn't know that they had been targeted, and they were walking briskly on the dirt of the small village.
"Boy Lin, we'll be able to get out of here in a while. To be honest, there is weirdness everywhere here, judging from the blood stains on the ground and the traces on the corpses of those people after death, I'm afraid this place is not simple!" Zhu Yuanzheng sighed secretly in his heart, if he had discovered the danger in this place earlier, he would rather take a detour. I didn't find anything special outside the gate just now, and I didn't feel that this place was unusual until I walked in.
If it is just an ordinary place to slaughter villages, although this kind of thing is not common for Zhu Yuanzheng, he will not be afraid of anything. However, this place is obviously not a simple slaughter village, after these villagers were killed, the corpses were shriveled and withered, and there was no blood left in their bodies, and their expressions looked hideous and terrifying. According to Zhu Yuanzheng's estimate, I am afraid that this place was once a place for ghost cultivators to collect souls, but I just hope that this ghost cultivator has left this place at this time.
"Huh, are you finally going to go out!" Lin Chen was also relieved in his heart, to be honest, this section of the road was actually not long at all, and according to Lin Chen's normal speed, half a cup of tea had passed, but now they had spent half an hour and had not passed through the small village, which showed the pressure.
Just when Lin Chen and Zhu Yuan were a little relaxed, a change protruded. Originally, the yin wind in the village was blowing from south to north, but suddenly the wind direction reversed and blew from north to south. Lin Chen and Zhu Yuanzheng were originally traveling from south to north, with their backs to the yin wind, but at this time, they had to face this somewhat strange yin wind head-on.
If only that were all, but this reversal is just the beginning. As the yin wind reversed, the light of the entire village suddenly became dim, and after a while, the sound of ghost howls was everywhere, and a large number of terrifying ghosts could be seen faintly surrounding Lin Chen and Zhu Yuan from all directions.
"It's not good, the art of serving ghosts!" Zhu Yuanzheng shouted, his whole body burst out with yuanyuan, and his clothes danced coldly.
Although Lin Chen didn't know what the ghost service technique was, he knew that trouble was coming!
