The boat sailed eastward out of thin air, and the hull of the boat pierced through the water to stir up long rushing waves.

Xu Ning looked down with some curiosity, but what he saw was nothing.

The river below him has become turbid since then, as if it has become the Yellow River full of quicksand, and when you look closely, there seems to be a faint layer of black gas under the water surface.

"This is the secret of the soul, a very simple method."

The ghost rode Tianzun to his side, and his delicate lips were slightly upturned, outlining a touch of beautiful amplitude.

"The role is to detain some spirit spirits and drive them to do some small things for themselves. Just like the souls in this river, they are driven by the teacher to push the boat. ”

"Those tricks that carried the sedan chair before, were they also summoned by the master with the spirit restraint technique?"

Xu Ning raised his head and cast his suspicious gaze on the Ghost Ride Heavenly Venerable.

"Hmm."

"Then why did the master do it directly before, but this time he threw some paper money into the water?"

Xu Ning asked the doubts in his heart.

"Hey, what a little fool."

Ghost Cheng Tianzun sighed slightly, and the slender hand wrapped in the snow-white ice crystal silk glove gently pinched Xu Ning's face.

"How can domesticated and wild be the same?"

She stared at Xu Ning's somewhat evasive eyes, pursed her lips and smiled: "These lonely souls and wild ghosts, as a teacher, are still quite willing to throw some paper money to pass the matter." ”

"So in other words, if you use the Spiritual Detention Technique, you don't actually need to prepare 'money'?"

Xu Ning said.

"Yes."

The Ghost Cheng Tianzun nodded indifferently, the Soul Detention Trick was originally to forcibly detain the lonely souls and wild ghosts to send, so they couldn't resist, and the spellcaster didn't have to spend money at all.

Most of these wandering spirits who came to take the boat were ghosts in the black water river or the souls of the dead, basically people who died horizontally, and it was difficult to reincarnate, so they could only stay miserably underwater and wait for a glimmer of life.

The ghost Cheng Tianzun has a very high spirit, what kind of person is she?

She didn't bother to bully these lonely ghosts, so she sprinkled some paper money into the river after casting the spell as a reward.

"Master, this detention is decided... Isn't it okay to be in vain..."

Xu Ning's face gently rubbed the fingertips of the Ghost Cheng Tianzun, and said with some trepidation.

He was still quite interested in these magical methods.

It has been nearly a month since he entered the Ghost Rider Heavenly Venerable's sect, but the Master Venerable has never taught anything else except for the dual cultivation techniques such as the Northern Pluto Whale Swallowing Method and the Yin and Yang Harmony Miaoyana.

"Hee-hee, of course you can."

Ghost Cheng Tianzun smiled sweetly, and his fingertips gently tapped on Xu Ning's head, and then recited the mantra aloud.

Xu Ning has an excellent memory, and after listening to it once, he wrote down the spirit decision and recited it silently in his heart several times.

"But you have learned the past, but don't use it indiscriminately, if it causes any bad consequences, you will not be responsible for the teacher."

"Huh?"

Xu Ning was slightly stunned, and just wanted to test it when he suddenly heard such an admonition.

"The Detention Decision is very simple, there is no threshold at all, no talent is required, as long as a person with normal intelligence can use it if he reads it again."

Ghost Cheng Tianzun paused slightly, his sparkling eyes blinked slightly, and said.

"The key to making it out depends on the caster's own strength. If you are strong enough, there will be no problem, but if you are not, the detained spirit will not only not obey your orders, but will be detrimental to you. ”

"If you had used the Soul Breaker just now, then those weird things under the water would not have held up the boat, but would have overturned the boat and dragged you into the water."

As soon as she said this, Xu Ning suddenly understood in her heart.

Weird also has a temper, how can it be driven by others casually?

"Fortunately, the master reminded me in time, and the apprentice didn't read it, otherwise he would have to be caught by the water ghost in the river as a stand-in."

Xu Ning seemed to be glad to take a deep breath, and slapped his ass without a trace.

"Stand-in? Oh, it's not that simple. ”

Ghost Cheng Tianzun pursed his lips and smiled, and continued under Xu Ning's puzzled eyes.

"A person who falls into the water can only be captured by a water ghost as a stand-in. Guess how many water ghosts are there in this river? ”

"If you alone are not enough to divide at all, there is a high probability that you will be fought over by a group of ghosts, torn apart and swallowed."

Xu Ning gasped slightly, sure enough, striking iron still needs its own hardness, and when he was weak, he couldn't recognize his own strength and messed around, which would only bring disaster to himself.

He thought for a moment and asked in a condensed voice.

"Master, can you tell me about the difference between weirdness and monsters?"

"For the time being, you can think that monsters and spirits are tangible bodies, and they can be transformed and cultivated to a certain extent. Weird is an invisible body, dominated by the soul. ”

Ghost Cheng Tianzun smiled lightly and continued.

"Most of the weirdness, like the ones that are supporting us at the moment, are low-level weird. They have no way to directly harm people, but can only break people's will through mental intimidation and disturbance, and achieve their goals through people's inner fear. ”

"It's like the folk often say that the water ghost grabs the stand-in, after a person falls into the water, he feels something grabs his limbs, but in fact, he is not really dragged by the water ghost, but falls into the illusion created by the water ghost. In the illusion, due to extreme fear and choking on too much water, the drowning person who is frightened will really think that he is dead. ”

Xu Ning's eyes moved slightly, and he thought.

"If a person thinks he is dead, then he is really not far from death?"

"Yes, the illusion of death has already been created in the heart, so it will be difficult for the body to hold on, and people will really drown, thus becoming a stand-in for the water ghost."

Ghost Cheng Tianzun's tone was slightly playful, his eyes suddenly looked into the distance, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Woo wow wow ah~"

A sharp cry suddenly floated from all directions, the voice was like resentment, like crying, like complaining, like the water of a cold pool.

Xu Ning frowned slightly, listening carefully to the cry, trying to identify where the source of the sound was.

But the cry was ethereal, ringing out in all directions, and it was impossible to distinguish the direction.

The surrounding water surface became cloudy at some point, with bursts of ripples, and when Xu Ning turned his gaze, the water surface had undergone terrifying changes.

The black aura shrouded under the water seemed to become even thicker, and countless figures could be faintly seen shaking.

Under Xu Ning's surprised gaze, the surrounding water surface continued to stir up the splashing waves, and the swollen and white arms that were soaked stretched straight up and waved fiercely.

"Master?"

Xu Ning said in a deep voice, but after seeing that the Ghost Cheng Tianzun still had a calm attitude, the emotions in his heart immediately calmed down.

"Man dies for money, birds die for food, let alone ghosts?"

Ghost Cheng Tianzun glanced at the misty water surface and said lightly.

"Hey, it's probably the money that the teacher just threw over made some guys red-eyed."
