Chapter 345: Ghost Cultivation
"Whew!"
A black smoke erupted from the ghost cultivator's Xuanyin bag, like a long dragon, rushing towards Zhao Lin.
It was also black smoke, but it was different from the previous Yin Wind Drill: the black smoke was mixed with twenty or thirty black beads, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't detect it at all.
Zhao Lin's heart sank, and he intuitively knew that these beads would definitely not be easy to deal with.
A senior brother once said: When fighting the method, if the opponent shoots a bead, be careful, the bead may explode.
Zhao Lin looked at the spiritual cultivation diagram and saw the name of this spell appear in the eighth grid: Explosive Evil Technique.
"Sure enough!"
Zhao Lin dodged and retreated without hesitation, although he didn't understand this spell, but from this word "explosion", he knew that he must not touch it hard.
"Break my formation, and you still want to escape?"
Ghost Xiu laughed, driving the black smoke to chase after Zhao Lin, following him like a shadow.
The Explosive Spell is not an ordinary attack spell, the black beads are condensed by the evil aura of the Yin Corpse.
Evil qi does not only exist in the clouds and layers of evil qi in the sky, but also in the damp and filthy places on the earth.
This qi is extremely domineering, and once the monk is hit, it is like peeling skin and scraping bones, and he can no longer use mana.
However, the Yin Corpse Qi is difficult to refine, and the ghost cultivator has lived in the cave for many years, and he has only refined less than half a liter and stored it in the Xuanyin bag.
At this time, almost all of his thoughts were released, just to put Zhao Lin to death.
Zhao Lin continued to dodge, but he couldn't get rid of the black smoke, and he chased closer and closer.
No matter how fast the body is, it can't be faster than the spell.
What made him even more troublesome was that he could neither meet the attack with an iron ruler nor resist with an ice blade, otherwise he would not know what the consequences would be once it exploded.
In a flash of thought, he pointed in front of him, and the rock armor technique was immediately released.
The yellow light flashed, and a thick rock armor covered Zhao Lin from head to toe.
Boom Boom Boom ......
The black beads collided with the rock armor and exploded one after another.
That ghost cultivator was also smart, and instead of letting all the beads rush up, he detonated them one by one, focusing on attacking one place.
Detonated five Yin Evil Orbs in a row, and finally broke through the Rock Armor Technique.
"Look where you're going!"
Ghost Xiu Yin smiled, without the hindrance of the defensive spell, the black smoke immediately crashed into it, but was unexpectedly stopped by another spell.
"Trapping!"
Zhao Lin let out a low sigh, and dozens of rapidly rotating cyan cyclones greeted him, mixing with the black smoke.
When the two met, the black beads were immediately sucked in.
This is another use of trapping, which can be used to trap enemies and also to defend against them.
"What?"
Ghost Xiu's face changed, and his divine sense wanted to drive the black beads to break free, but found that it was to no avail.
Zhao Lin secretly wiped a cold sweat, knowing that he couldn't wait any longer.
The three spells released just now, the Ice Blade Technique, the Rock Armor Technique, and the Trapping Technique, were all used with all their might, and the spiritual power in the body was about to bottom out.
On the opposite side is a ghost cultivation of the fifth layer of soul refining, and there is also a strange magic weapon that can enhance spells.
I am a martial artist, so I have nothing to think about!
His feet slammed on the ground, and his body shot out.
Seeing Zhao Lin rushing over, the ghost cultivator was stunned for a moment, and only after a breath did he react, Zhao Lin wanted to fight with him in close combat!
It's no wonder that Ghost Cultivation has never faced against Wu Xiu, and subconsciously still uses the same tactics as Fa Xiu.
"Oops!"
Zhao Lin's speed was as fast as lightning, with an indomitable momentum, the ghost cultivator couldn't help but turn blue, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.
In a hurry, there was no time to cast a spell, so he could only use an aura cover to save the emergency.
"Thunder Fist!"
Zhao Lin punched out, and the white light passed through the aura cover, hitting the ghost's body.
The Thunder and Fire Two-Element Spell is the nemesis of ghost cultivation, and compared to the two, the Thunder Law is even better.
Ghost Xiu suddenly rolled his eyes, "plopped", and fell straight to the ground.
Zhao Lin didn't dare to relax, and slashed at the neck of the ghost cultivator with one palm, punching in several spiritual qi and sealing his spiritual meridians.
When he touched the body of the ghost cultivator, he felt that his hands were cold, and there was no trace of heat.
"Sure enough, the living dead? What's the point of living like this without being a ghost or a ghost? ”
Zhao Lin sneered, ignored the ghost cultivator, and took out a Sanyang Pill and took it.
The yin qi in the cave is deep, and after such a short period of work, the yin qi has penetrated into the marrow.
After a week of practice, when his body was warmed up, he took out the spirit stone and meditated to restore his spiritual power.
After about half an hour, most of the spiritual power was restored, and Zhao Lin got up and stood up.
He took out two animal skin gloves from the lock bag and put them on, walked over and searched the ghost cultivator's whole body.
A array plate, a pole flag, a Xuanyin bag, and a worn-out lock bag.
At this time, the ghost cultivator had already come to his senses and was looking at Zhao Lin with a resentful expression.
Zhao Lin said coldly: "Where is my companion?" ”
The ghost cultivator kept his mouth shut and didn't answer.
Zhao Lin didn't want to waste time, so he directly slapped his heart, but found that the ghost cultivator had no reaction.
Only then did I remember that the ghost cultivator was already a dead person, and he had long lost the pain that ordinary people should have.
However, Zhao Lin had another way, releasing a flaming arrow and bringing the burning arrow closer to his face.
Ghost Xiu gritted his teeth tightly, his face resolute, but his trembling body still betrayed his inner thoughts.
Zhao Lin didn't believe that he was not afraid of death, if he was really not afraid of death, why would he choose to be a ghost cultivator?
"Stop, I'll move!"
The flame arrow immediately touched his eyes, and the ghost cultivator finally relented, pointing to a large stone not far away and said, "The person is there." ”
Zhao Lin carried the ghost cultivator, walked behind the big stone, and found the unconscious Wei Shi.
Wei Shi's eyes were closed, his face was blue, obviously poisoned, but he still had a heartbeat, and his breathing was stable.
This is not because the ghost cultivators are merciful, the ghost cultivators use the corpse qi and soul as the basis of cultivation, and keep the living eloquence to facilitate refining and absorption.
Zhao Lin originally wanted to ask the ghost cultivator for an antidote, but after thinking about it, dealing with this kind of person, if he was not careful, he would be tricked.
Wei Shi didn't have to worry about his life for the time being, so he simply didn't ask about ghost cultivation, took out a Sanyang Pill and a Return Pill from the lock bag, and fed them to Wei Shi's mouth.
Then press down on his chest and inject aura to make his qi and blood flow.
Sanyang Dan expells yin qi and returns Dan to treat internal injuries, even if the medicine is not right, it can have some effect.
Moreover, the body is strong and has a certain ability to resist poison.
Sure enough, after a short while, Wei Shi slowly woke up.
"Brother Wei, how are you?"
Zhao Lin asked with concern.
"It's ......"
Wei Shi opened his eyes with difficulty, rubbed his head and said.
When he opened his eyes and saw Zhao Lin, his face suddenly changed, his face was full of anger, and he threw a punch with a loud shout, "You are a person who will take revenge!" ”
Zhao Lin waved his hand to block the grid and jumped back slightly.
Wei Shi punched angrily, the force was amazing, if it wasn't for Zhao Lin's early defense, this punch might not be able to withstand it.
Zhao Lin knew that he was confused by the phantom array, so he didn't get angry, and said patiently: "Brother Wei, what you saw and heard just now was all transformed by the phantom array, but I didn't do it, think about it carefully?" ”
Then he gave a general account of the situation he encountered in the magic circle.
Wei Shi was stunned for a moment, and gradually came back to his senses, feeling that there was a medicinal taste in his mouth, knowing that Zhao Lin not only harmed himself, but also saved his life.
couldn't help but show shame and apologized: "Brother Zhao, I'm sorry, I ......"
Zhao Lin waved his hand to interrupt him: "You saw me in the magic circle just now?" ”
"Yes!"
Wei Shi nodded, "You were bitten by a demon beast, I rescued you, but you gave me a palm......"
After speaking, he found that he had said the wrong thing again, and quickly corrected: "It's not right! It was a vision that slapped me. ”
Zhao Lin grabbed the ghost cultivator and said to Wei Shi: "This person is the mastermind behind the magic circle, can Brother Wei recognize which one he is cultivating?" ”
Wei Shi froze and looked at the ghost cultivator carefully, and after a while, he said in surprise: "Ghost cultivator? ”
"Exactly, but let's not be busy yet, let's go find Li Ting."
Zhao Lin carried the ghost cultivator and walked through several boulders, and when he was about to walk to the place pointed by the ghost cultivator, he suddenly heard a "click" chewing sound.
"Not good!"
Zhao Lin felt bad, rushed over the boulder with an arrow step, and saw that the soul he encountered when he entered the cave was grabbing the Li sting and stuffing its tentacles into his mouth.
The hundreds of tentacles of the Yin Soul have already eaten more than half of them.
"Die!"
Zhao Lin was somewhat suspicious of Li Sting, suspecting him of being with a ghost cultivator and tricking him into the cave.
Seeing this, the doubts disappeared, and with a wave of his palm, the ice blade shot out.
The soul is a gatekeeper demon beast raised by ghost cultivation, and at this time, seeing Zhao Lin holding a ghost cultivation in his hand, he knew that something was wrong, and he was about to flee with a flick of his legs.
The cold light flashed, and the ice blade slashed into one of the soul's thighs.
With a scream, the soul rolled on the ground, rolled over and got up, limping and trying to escape.
Zhao Lin caught up with him in a few steps, and the iron ruler fell, and his soul suddenly burst into brains.
"Li Ting, are you okay?"
When the ghost cultivator saw Zhao Lin talking to a ghost, his mouth opened wide in surprise.
Unable to speak, Li raised a tentacle and pointed to the corpse next to him.
Zhao Lin thought for a moment and understood its intentions, so he put Li Sting's corpse on the corpse of the soul.
The soul is the natural enemy of the Yin Soul, but it is also a great complement of the Yin Soul.
Li Stung stretched out his tentacles and coiled them around the head of the soul, the yin qi swirled, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the body gradually returned to light blue.
Zhao Lin was a little relieved, grabbed a handful of spirit rice from the lock bag and chewed it, then took out the spirit stone that had not been used up just now, and sat down cross-legged.
I was in a hurry to find Wei Shi and Li Stinging just now, but the aura had not fully recovered, and now I had time to replenish the aura.
Seeing this, Wei Shi also followed.
After about a stick of incense, Zhao Lin opened his eyes and walked straight to the ghost cultivator.
"Say it! Where did you come from, how did you become a ghost cultivator, tell me why. ”
While Zhao Lin was meditating, he suddenly remembered something: there was a note in the task rules that two monks disappeared in the Yin Wind Realm twenty years ago, and their whereabouts are still unknown.
Maybe it has something to do with this ghost cultivator.
Ghost Xiu's eyes rolled, and he replied, "What are you going to do with me?" ”
Zhao Lin said very simply: "If you don't say it, a fire will burn it, and if you know each other, you will honestly explain it and hand it over to the sect to deal with." ”
When Ghost Xiu heard this, he lowered his head and said stiffly: "Left and right are dead, I still won't say it." ”
Zhao Lin looked at him for a long time, "You don't have any idea of confiding?" ”
Ghost Xiu's eyes flashed, "What did you pour out?" ”
"How have you spent the past twenty years?"
"I've ...... in the past 20 years"
Halfway through Ghost Xiu's speech, he was surprised: "You, how are you ......?"
Zhao Lin looked at him with a smile, "Don't ask me how I know, can you say it now?" ”
Ghost Xiu still doesn't say anything, just don't go over it.
Zhao Lin shrugged his shoulders indifferently, took out a few Sanyang Pills, clasped Ghost Xiu's chin, and stuffed the pills into it.
"Let's taste the sun burning!"
Ghost cultivators are mostly fierce and inward-looking, and Zhao Lin doesn't believe that he can bear it.
"Stop, I say!"
The ghost cultivator was so frightened that he shrank back sharply, begging for mercy again and again.
Zhao Lin let go of his hand, but he still held Sanyang Dan in his hand and looked at him quietly.
Ghost Xiu struggled for a while, sighed, and said, "My name is Hu Hongxing......"
When Li Stung heard the name, as if he remembered something, he trembled all over, and grasped the corpse of the soul with tentacles, and embedded it deep in the flesh.
Zhao Lin noticed Li Ting's actions, his heart moved slightly, and his face was still impassive.
Hu Hongxing continued, as Zhao Lin expected, it was related to the disappearance of the monk twenty years ago.
It turned out that Hu Hongxing was originally a monk in Xiniu Prefecture, and when he was on a mission to the sect, he accidentally found the remains of a ghost cultivator in a cave, as well as the related inheritance of ghost cultivators.
Hu Hongxing knew that ghost cultivation was a taboo in the world of cultivating immortals, and he didn't dare to touch the things left by ghost cultivation, but for some reasons that were not humane, he neither destroyed these things, nor handed them over to the sect.
Decades have passed in the blink of an eye, Hu Hongxing is over sixty years old, and his cultivation is still hovering at the seventh layer of qi refining, and there are already signs of slow degradation.
Seeing that there was no hope of building a foundation in this life, and that he would eventually return to a handful of loess, Hu Hongxing was very unwilling, thought about it again and again, and started to do ghost cultivation and returned to the cave.
Even if you don't have the mana of Tongtian, you can at least get a long life.
Hearing this, Zhao Lin couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the two boat cultivators who colluded with the bandit cultivators seemed to be also because of the stagnation of their cultivation.
The road to immortality is difficult, just like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, and the winners are in the minority.
I only heard Hu Hongxing continue to say that if you want to become a ghost cultivator, you must cut off your vitality and become a living dead first.
And no matter what you did in the past, you have to go back and start over.
Because of this, the ghost cultivators did not have the strength to challenge the monks, so they could only find opportunities to harm mortals.
It's just that the mortal settlements of Chenghua Sect are guarded by monks, and it is very difficult for ghost cultivators to survive, and they will fall into the legal net if they are not careful.
Hu Hongxing learned from the books left by ghost cultivators: There is another kind of person in the world, who is born with a deep yin body, and is naturally suitable for cultivating ghost paths.
A monk with a dark body who turns to the ghost path can still maintain his original cultivation, which is extremely conducive to surviving the initial dangerous period, and his chances of survival are greatly increased.
If it is not a Yin Body, then killing a person with a Yin Body and then devouring its corpse qi and soul will continue its endowment, and most of its cultivation can be retained.
"I'm not a gloomy body, so I'm looking everywhere in the sect. The hard work paid off, and I finally found it! ”
Hu Hongxing said faintly.
