Chapter 216: Yin and Ghostly Qi
The remnant soul is actually the broken primordial god of the high-ranking monks. Ordinary people are just an unconscious energy after death, which will soon disappear due to some external interference; After the death of a low-level monk, the Yuan Shen has a certain memory, which can only be regarded as a conscious energy, and because the Yuan Shen of the low-level monk is too fragile, it will be kept for a short time.
Unless it is for some special reasons, some consciousness energy does not dissipate by chance, and becomes stronger and stronger, and eventually becomes a ghost cultivator. With the improvement of strength, ghost cultivation will gradually recover some memories before death, and slowly condense and form, regenerating the body. However, such bodies are generally fragile, at least much worse than those of fellow monks.
And high-level monks, because the primordial gods themselves are relatively powerful, if they can maintain their appearance after death, they can also preserve most of the memories of their lives, and if the opportunity is right, they may be able to rebirth. The remnant soul in this jade Buddha doesn't know how many years it has been preserved, but it still maintains its original appearance, and its previous cultivation is definitely not low.
"Boy Qingyang, I don't know what to call my seniors?" Qingyang arched his hand. No matter what happens to this one-horned old man now, his previous cultivation must be higher than Qingyang's, and it is natural to call his predecessors.
"What do you call it? Is it to ask the name of this king? The one-horned old man muttered, and then made a thoughtful look, and after a long time, he said: "This king can't remember very well, and it seems that someone once called this king the one-horned ghost king in my memory." ”
"The One-Horned Ghost King? Are you a ghost cultivator? Qingyang said in surprise.
The old man, who called himself the one-horned ghost king, said blankly: "It seems so." ”
Those who can leave remnant souls are not necessarily high-level monks, if high-level ghost cultivators are broken up and shatter the primordial spirit, they may eventually become like this. This one-horned old man should not be a ghost path monk like a ghost real person, but a ghost cultivator who is cultivated by real ghosts.
Qingyang doesn't know much about ghost cultivation, but he also knows that those who can become the ghost king are at least above the infancy of Jindan Yuan, and this kind of cultivation is already a top strength on the Kyushu continent, and there are very few who can pose a threat to him, and they are even beaten like this.
After this period of understanding, Qingyang knew that there were very few ghost cultivators in the Kyushu Continent, and he had never heard of any high-level ghost cultivators. The ghost cultivators who occasionally pop up are either exiled from the outside world like the Netherworld real people, or they are low-level ghost cultivators who have not been produced for a long time, acting completely on instinct, bloodthirsty and brutal, and it is easy to attract the slaughter of the righteous path monks of the Immortal Gate. So this one-horned ghost king should not be from the Kyushu Continent.
It seems that the Netherworld real person said it well, the Kyushu Continent is indeed just a small place, the outside world is very vast, and when your cultivation is higher, you must go out and wander around to see what the outside immortal cultivation world is like, and what is the ultimate in immortal cultivation.
But that's all in the future, and I don't know if I can get to that point, Qingyang turned around and asked, "Why did the predecessors hide in this Jade Buddha?" ”
The one-horned ghost king thought for a while, and said: "The detailed situation of this king can no longer remember, I only remember that this king seems to have been injured by someone, almost completely dissipated, only a wisp of remnant soul escaped, and then met a jade Buddha made of soul-nourishing jade, so he hid in it and fell into a deep sleep, and only occasionally felt the ghost qi of the underworld to wake up once." ”
"What is the Netherworld?" Qingyang wondered.
The one-horned ghost king paused slightly, and said, "Yin and Yin Ghost Qi is a general term for the true qi of all ghost path monks, such as the common zombie corpse qi, ghost thing ghost qi, ghost path monk's dark qi, and the yin qi generated by the crypt and yin veins that can make ghost cultivators improve their cultivation......"
After listening to the one-horned ghost king's explanation, Qingyang finally understood that ghost path cultivators were different from ordinary immortal cultivators, ordinary immortal cultivators absorbed spiritual energy from the outside world, and refined it into true qi in the body and stored it. The ghost path cultivators absorb the yin qi in the crypt and the yin veins, and what they cultivate is the ghost qi and the underworld qi, which are all called yin and underworld ghost qi.
The one-horned ghost king is a ghost cultivator, and he is more sensitive to the ghost qi of the underworld, so he will wake up every time he senses the ghost qi of the underworld. The previous owner of the Jade Buddha didn't know this, and thought that the one-horned ghost king had come to his senses as a manifestation of the god and Buddha, and finally spread the saying that the Jade Buddha was very effective.
Today, the one-horned ghost king came to his senses, and it seems that he should have sensed the ghost qi of the netherworld, as for the source of the ghost qi, it is very simple, it must have come from the real person of the netherworld. Qingyang watched the Netherworld real person fight Helan Peak at close range, and was finally slapped by him again, and his body should have been contaminated with a lot of Yin Netherworld ghost energy, so he would only be sensed when he picked up the Jade Buddha.
I remember that when I was on the river island in Kaiyuan Mansion, Hong Mantian once said that if you can refine the remnant soul in this jade Buddha, wouldn't it be one more combat helper? Now that I think about it, it was purely fooling everyone, how could the remnant soul of the Ghost King level be able to be refined by a Pulse Opening Realm cultivator? Maybe he didn't wait for himself to refine others, but was devoured by the other party first.
Ghost monks are different from ordinary monks, ordinary monks are bound by the rules of the immortal gate, and the immortal cultivation world is orderly, and most monks will not do things that are too out of line.
The ghost monks are different, many of them have the original bloodthirsty and brutal instincts, and there is no order between the ghost cultivators at all. Because the Yin and Netherworld are common to each other, it is common to plunder other people's Yin and Netherworld Qi for their own use, and it is extremely common to kill and plunder each other.
Of course, just like human monks, ghost monks must also be good and bad, but compared to ordinary monks, this probability is much lower, and the probability of being encountered by oneself is even lower. Especially the ghost king, who has cultivated for countless years, is cunning and cunning, but it is not something that a small Open Vein Realm cultivator can deal with, and he may fall into the pit at any time.
This one-horned ghost king seems to be ignorant and seems to have lost a lot of memory, but who knows if all this is true or false? Maybe he's just pretending to be at a loss to confuse himself. For the sake of prudence, Qingyang felt that he had better withdraw his divine thoughts as soon as possible, so that the ghost king could continue to sleep, lest he accidentally fall into the trap of the other party.
When Qingyang was thinking, the one-horned ghost king showed a trace of hesitation on his face, but he couldn't open his mouth, and at this time, seeing that Qingyang's divine thoughts were about to be withdrawn, he finally spoke in desperation, and said: "Qingyang Xiaoyou, don't worry, listen to me a few words first." I don't know how many years I've been asleep in this Jade Buddha, and I've been awake many times before, but no one has ever been able to enter my consciousness space, it seems that Xiaoyou is also a monk, I don't know if you can do me a favor? ”
