Chapter 12: On Ghosts

Ma Fan saw that Li Le was being proud at the moment, and knew that it was a good time to ask questions, so he asked, "Uncle Li, what is a ghost?

Li Le said: "Ask me, you are the right person." The so-called ghost is the returnee. Legend has it that after death, the essence of a person returns to the sky, the flesh to the earth, the blood to the water, the veins to the ze, the sound to the thunder, the movement to the wind, the eyes to the sun and the moon, the bones to the wood, the tendons to the mountains, the teeth to the stones, the ointment to the dew, the hair to the grass, and the breath to the spirits and to the netherworld. When these undead reach the Netherworld to absorb the Yin Qi in the Netherworld for 7749 days, they can reunite into their bodies, which are ghosts. Of course, there are some people who are too angry before they die, or they die in a special place, and the undead cannot be classified into the netherworld, so they stay in the mortal world, but these undead can't stand the yang energy in the mortal world, especially the sun, and the yang energy dissipates immediately as soon as they receive it, so it stands to reason that ghosts rarely appear in the mortal world.

However, there are exceptions to everything, there are some people who die in the place where the yin qi gathers, even if they do not belong to the netherworld after death, they can still absorb enough yin qi to turn into ghosts, and the netherworld has several opportunities to let the ghosts return to the world every year to accept the worship of their descendants, some ghosts because of their nostalgia for the world, after coming up, they will find a way to avoid the pursuit of the yin difference, and stay in the world, especially on the battlefields of some wars, the dead soldiers are full of evil qi and resentment, and the undead will not enter the netherworld, plus there are many people who die on the battlefield, and naturally they have become a place where the yin qi gathers, and it is easy to form thousands of ghosts, these thousands of years, especially after the Zhou Dynasty, the mortal war has never been broken, the big war and the small war are continuous, and there are countless ghosts.

As long as they become ghosts, although the pair of yang energy is afraid, but the yang energy is not so fatal to them, as long as the ghosts in the mortal world pay attention to hiding, do not come out to move out during the day, and are not directly exposed to the sun, then there will generally be no problem, as long as they become ghosts, they can survive if they are careful in the mortal world, so ghost soldiers in the mortal world are not uncommon. If it weren't for the fact that all factions would send people to the battlefield to overspend the souls after the great wars over the years, and there were often monks who traveled around in order to accumulate external skills and catch these ghosts, and the ghosts in the mortal world didn't know how many there were, I am afraid that they would have been messed up because of these ghosts. Over the years, we have caught ghosts and ghosts in Taiping Dao, and we have surpassed the souls. ”

Seeing that Li Le didn't explain further, Ma Fan asked: "I just heard this evil spirit say that he is about to become a ghost general, it seems that these ghosts can also cultivate, I don't know how these ghosts cultivate? ”

Li Le said: "Ghost cultivation is generally looking for a place where yin qi is rich at the beginning, absorbing and accumulating yin qi, condensing the body, and making the body more and more condensed, the ghosts at this stage have no means to harm people, but they can transform into some forms to scare people, as long as they are not frightened, these ghosts can't even take ordinary people." And such ghosts are very afraid of yang energy, and no matter how long they have been with people, they will be harmed by the yang energy on people's bodies, and the ghosts at this time are hiding in dark places, trying to avoid mortals.

When the Yin Qi has accumulated to a certain extent, because the body size is becoming more and more condensed, it is becoming more and more difficult to absorb the Yin Qi, and the body really can't accommodate the Yin Qi, and at this time, it is no longer realistic for the ghost to still rely on absorbing the Yin Qi to cultivate. Therefore, after reaching a certain level, as long as these ghosts can withstand yang energy, they will begin to turn to absorbing yang energy to cultivate, allowing themselves to have yang energy within themselves, and even eventually transform into pure yang energy. As long as it can withstand the yang energy, the ghost with a wisp of yang energy in the body is called a ghost pawn, which has been out of the scope of ordinary ghosts, and can possess mortals, control mortals' bodies to kill people or commit suicide, etc., mortals have no way to take ghost pawns. Moreover, many ghost pawns are specially possessed by mortals or other creatures in the body to absorb those mild points of yang, and the object of possession is absorbed by the yang energy, generally after these ghost pawns leave the body, they are going to be seriously ill, if the possessed ghost pawn is ruthless, and absorbs all the yang energy, then this person will also die.

Once all the yin energy of the body is converted into yang energy, such ghosts can be called ghost officials, and the ghosts of the underworld sometimes have to avoid these ghost officials. It can be said that the ghost called the ghost has become the climate. The ghost official is a pure yang body, able to move freely under the noon sun, and is not afraid of the aura on the monk's body, and the one just now is the realm of the ghost official. Once the ghost reaches the realm of ghosts, it can absorb the aura of heaven and earth to cultivate, once there is the aura of heaven and earth in the body, the ghost will be able to cast some spells immediately, the more heaven and earth aura in the body, the greater the power of the spell. The yin fire of the evil spirit just now is one of these spells, and the spells cast by different ghosts are different, because ghosts are born with super control over aura, so as soon as the ghost absorbs the aura of heaven and earth, it will directly condense the aura of heaven and earth, and the qi in the body of the ghost is not weaker than the true qi of the monk, so the strength can already be equivalent to the condensation period monk in our monks, once the body is transformed by the aura and the whole body is full of aura, the ghost will begin to condense spiritual power to improve, once the spiritual power can be condensed, it means that the ghost has reached the realm of ghost generals。 And flesh and blood essence is very beneficial for the initial condensation of spiritual power, and there is aura in all things, these aura is also very attractive to ghost officials, so flesh and blood can greatly shorten the time for the ghost official body to impact the ghost general, so most ghosts will kill a large number of living beings and devour flesh and blood after reaching the realm of ghost officials, and ghost officials are the most cruel and murderous ghosts.

Once the ghost general is reached, devouring flesh and blood, even if it is devouring the flesh and blood of the monk, has not improved much, but will make the aura and spiritual power in his body impure, so the ghosts above the ghost general rarely come out to walk, and they are all hiding in places where the aura of heaven and earth is rich and few people disturb them to cultivate. The realm of the ghost general is equivalent to the strength of the monk's rotation period, and then there is a ghost king who is equivalent to the strength of the heartbeat period, once the ghost king has survived the catastrophe, he can become the ghost emperor after the baptism of thunder and lightning, and the ghost emperor is equivalent to the monk of the Jindan period. Above the Ghost Emperor, there are even ghost immortals.

And once our mortal cultivators cultivate the Golden Pill, if they encounter an accident and rely on the Golden Pill to cultivate the ghost cultivation, as long as they cultivate for a period of time, they will directly reach the Ghost Emperor realm if they master the body and various spells. Once you become a ghost emperor, you can work hard to cultivate towards the ghost immortals, there are actually not many ghost emperors in the mortal world, but there are very few ordinary dead souls who cultivate, and most of them are converted to ghost cultivation after the monks have their bodies destroyed for various reasons. ”
