Chapter 386: Evil Ghosts Chasing Souls!
"Ying'er, I'm leaving, I'll leave your care at home for the time being, if there is something urgent for me to go home to make a decision, you can fly along this route, and use the [Lingxi Jade Pendant] to send a message to me. ”
"Also, every six months, I will send someone to the nearest person to report that I am safe, and if you have not received my message twice in a row, you can go directly to me. ”
On Chihu Mountain, Zhou Yang, who had just returned to the family for half a month, said goodbye to Taoist Xiao Ying again.
He left home this time, but he was ready to practice what he had said to his father Zhou Xuanhao, and personally went to find his stepmother Zhou Xuanyu and his sister-in-law Zhou Yuanyao, who had been missing for decades.
This is also a last wish that Zhou Xuanhao specially confessed to him before he sat down, and it is also the last wish of the late old patriarch Zhou Minghan.
Whether it is to fulfill the last wishes of the two elders, or to find out the reason for the disappearance of the two relatives, it is necessary for Zhou Yang to find these two people.
Therefore, after dealing with all the things that should be done in the short term, Zhou Yang planned to spend a few years searching the entire Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm to find the missing Zhou Xuanyu mother and daughter.
"Zhou Lang, don't worry, the concubine at home will definitely take care of you, and you have to be careful when you are outside. ”
After getting along for many years, Xiao Ying also knew that this matter had become Zhou Yang's heart disease, and of course she would not stop Zhou Yang from doing it at this time.
"Then I'm leaving. Zhou Yang looked at the Taoist priest, nodded, and directly left the Chihu Mountain Oasis with a mortal man in his fifties.
The mortal man who was taken away by Zhou Yang was named Zhou Hong, who was the grandson of Zhou Yang's original seventh sister Zhou Yuanchun, and Zhou Yuanchun was Zhou Xuanyu's daughter.
In terms of bloodline, Zhou Hong and Zhou Xuanyu have been separated by three generations, which is actually beyond the search scope of the fourth-order high-grade spell "Touching Heaven and Earth Seeking Relatives Mantra".
However, the person who cast the spell to search for Zhou Xuanyu's mother and daughter this time was not Zhou Yang, but Xu Song, who cultivated in the Jindan period, and the interval between the three generations was not a problem.
Using a high-level cultivation as a low-realm spell can greatly increase the effect of the spell itself.
The Yuan Infant Monk casts the "Touching Heaven and Earth Finding Relatives Spell", which can track the whereabouts of blood relatives within ten generations, and the Jindan Monk casts this spell, and the tracking range will also be expanded to five generations.
Therefore, it is not a problem to use Zhou Hong's blood as a spell casting medium to find people.
Zhou Hongjie is a mortal, and naturally he does not dare to disobey the orders of the Supreme Elder, who has the highest status in the family.
Although he didn't know what the Supreme Elder was going to do with his own blood.
Zhou Xuanyu's existence naturally cannot be known to such mortals, and the Zhou family now knows about it, only Zhou Yang and his wife and Zhou Guangxiang are the two brothers and sisters.
This has to find someone, of course, not blindly.
For so many years, although the Zhou family has not found any clues about Zhou Xuanyu's mother and daughter, they have also found the activity area of their mother and daughter for a period of time before their last disappearance.
At that time, Zhou Yuanyao was only practicing Qi Nine-Layer Cultivation, although Zhou Xuanyu was cultivating in the foundation building period, but in order to hide his identity and play the role of sharpening his daughter, he would definitely not take his daughter to fly.
So under normal circumstances, their mother and daughter should not have been able to run far at that time.
So Zhou Yang set off this time, and went directly to that area first, and then collected a ball of Zhou Hong's blood, and asked Xu Song to cast a spell.
Xu Song is a ghost cultivator, and Zhou Hong can't find out about this, so after the blood collection was completed, Zhou Yang fainted him, and then watched Xu Song cast a spell.
I saw Xu Song holding the blood collected from Zhou Hong in one hand, and while chanting words in his mouth, he started the Fa.
After a while, he finished doing it, and with a flick of his hand, the ball of blood condensed into a blood sword that circled around the unconscious Zhou Hong three times, and then dissipated directly!
"No, the mother and daughter you're talking about aren't in the spell search. ”
In fact, there is no need for Xu Song to explain, Zhou Yang also knows when he sees this situation.
He himself had been tracked by the ancestor of the Chen family using this spell at the beginning, and he was also very clear about the effect of this spell.
If the person being tracked is within the spell search range, the Blood Sword will follow the induction to track it, and if it is not within the spell sensing range, the Blood Sword will automatically disperse and the spell will fail.
Therefore, seeing this situation now, he was not surprised, and he did not show any disappointment, but nodded and said: "With the cultivation of the predecessor Jindan period, the search range of a spell can reach at least 10,000 miles, then let's try to search 300,000 miles along the east side first!"
Focusing on the area where Zhou Xuanyu's mother and daughter finally disappeared, searching for 300,000 miles in the southeast, northwest and northwest, this is Zhou Yang's preliminary plan.
This plan is not easy to complete, without the help of a Jindan period monk like Xu Song, with Zhou Yang's own words, even if he can learn the spell of "Touching the Heaven and Earth to Find Relatives", it will take at least ten or eight years to complete this plan.
But now, with Xu Song's help, just half a year has passed, and they have searched the area of hundreds of thousands of miles to the east.
In this way, after two years, Zhou Yang and Xu Song searched all the areas in the four sides, millions of miles, and still found nothing!
"According to what your kid said, there are only two situations for that mother and daughter now, either they have left the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm, at least they have left the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm that you know, or they are trapped in a secret realm with a forbidden array, and the spell effect is blocked by the forbidden array!"
In the vast sea of sand, Zhou Yang and Xu Song stopped on a sand dune, and the two looked at the boundless sea of sand, thinking of the busy rush that had found nothing in the past two years, and their faces were a little unsightly.
"If it's really as the predecessors said, then you can only use the method that the predecessors said, if this method doesn't work, Zhou is also worthy of the two elders under Jiuquan!"
Zhou Yang muttered to himself with a gloomy face, and when he raised his palm, he took out a black wooden card.
This black wooden card is Zhou Xuanyu's soul card, which contains a wisp of Zhou Xuanyu's soul, and for so many years, the Zhou family has judged Zhou Xuanyu's life and death through the intact soul card.
Now that the whereabouts of Zhou Xuanyu's mother and daughter cannot be found using the ordinary "Touching Heaven and Earth Searching for Relatives Spell", Zhou Yang can only try to find people in more extreme ways.
You must know that there are endless mysteries of searching for people in the world of cultivating immortals, and I don't know how many, and the "Touching Heaven and Earth Finding Relatives Mantra" is just a spell with the smallest demand for use and the widest range of applications.
When it comes to the effect of searching for people, many secret magic powers are much stronger than it.
The most obvious is the "dark crow" that the Royal Beast Sect used to track Zhou Yang at the beginning, this bird can track Zhou Yang's whereabouts from hundreds of thousands of miles, which shows its strong tracking effect.
However, it seems that this kind of secret magic power of searching for people usually requires the person's own essence blood or divine soul as a medium to be successful, and under normal circumstances, few immortal cultivators will hand over their essence blood and divine soul to others.
The method that Zhou Yang wants to use now is to ask Xu Song to use the wisp of divine soul that Zhou Xuanyu left in the soul card as a medium to use the magic secret technique "Evil Ghost Soul Chasing Technique" to find Zhou Xuanyu's location.
And once he does this, whether he succeeds or not, Zhou Xuanyu will permanently lose this wisp of divine soul, and the Zhou family will no longer be able to determine Zhou Xuanyu's life and death through the soul card in the future.
"Now that you have made up your mind, the old man will naturally help you. ”
Xu Song glanced at the black wooden card in Zhou Yang's hand, stretched out his hand, beckoned it to his hand, and then directly started the method.
After dozens of breaths, he finished doing it, and with a wave of his hand, a grimace with a blue face and fangs suddenly appeared, and he swallowed the black wooden plaque that sealed a wisp of Zhou Xuanyu's soul in one gulp.
However, just a wisp of the soul of a foundation building monk didn't seem to satisfy this grimace, and after swallowing that wisp of divine soul, a pair of ghostly eyes flashing with ferocious and tyrannical colors looked at Xu Song, the spellcaster.
And Xu Song didn't seem to be surprised by this, when he took out a black flag and waved it at the grimace, a bird and beast soul with a strong yin aura threw it into the grimace's mouth and was devoured by it as a sacrifice.
After devouring the sacrifice, the grimace seemed to be satisfied, and immediately opened his mouth at Xu Song, and spit out a ghostly aura that fell on Xu Song's palm, condensing into a grimace mark.
Seeing this, Xu Song immediately put away the black flag magic weapon, and then raised his hand to Zhou Yang and said: "This mark can exist for ten days, within ten days, we must find the whereabouts of your stepmother, otherwise the mark will automatically disperse." ”
"So what are you waiting for? ”
Zhou Yang immediately waved his hand, released the "Phantom Cloud Boat" and jumped up, and then waved the mortal junior Zhou Hong onto the flying boat, and left the place with Xu Song's guidance.
After flying like this for eight days, when flying over a sandy field, the grimace mark on Xu Song's hand suddenly left his body, and the monster laughed and threw himself into the sand below, and soon disappeared from the sight of one person and one ghost.
"That's right, this is it. ”
The people and ghosts in the sky glanced at each other, and their eyes showed joy.
Immediately, a person and a ghost fell directly to the ground and began to explore the underground.
"It's a little difficult to do, the old man can only judge that the formation level here is as high as the fifth order, but he doesn't know anything about the origin of its roots. ”
"If you want to break the formation and save people, unless you can find a few Jindan stage monks to attack, you can only wait for the old man to study the weaknesses of this formation, and then help you break the formation and save people. ”
In a cave deep underground, Zhou Yang and Xu Song stopped in the cave alone, and their faces were a little unsightly.
It turned out that after they followed the grimace mark all the way into the underground, they really found a large underground ruin, but this underground ruin was protected by a powerful fifth-order high-grade formation, and with the strength of their own person and ghost, they couldn't even break this big array.
If the formation is not broken, Zhou Xuanyu's mother and daughter, who already know that they are trapped in the underground ruins, will naturally not be able to get out of the trap.
Hearing Xu Song's words at this time, Zhou Yang's face sank, and he couldn't help asking, "Then Senior Xu, how long do you expect it to take to study the weakness of this formation?"
"It's hard to say this, the old man was only a fifth-order mid-grade array mage before his death, and the grade of this array is as high as the fifth-order upper grade, with the old man's ability, if you want to study the weaknesses of this array and break the formation, if you are lucky, it may be three years and five years, and if you are unlucky, it is possible to be ten or twenty years!"
Xu Song shook his head repeatedly, knowing why Zhou Yang asked like this, and even explained the situation and the situation.
Sure enough, hearing his words, Zhou Yang's face darkened suddenly.
Zhou Xuanyu is also a monk of the Zhou family, who is only a few years younger than Zhou Xuanhao, and he is nearly 100 years old before he succeeds in building the foundation.
If it was really possible to break the formation after more than ten or twenty years, it was likely that by the time they broke the ruin formation, Zhou Xuanyu would have already sat in it.
However, his face is black, but Zhou Yang knows in his heart that Xu Song has no need to lie to himself.
Moreover, as a fifth-order array mage, the other party is his only hope of breaking the formation and saving people, and he can't blame the other party.
There was no way, he could only grit his teeth and nodded: "Then everything will trouble the seniors, if the seniors need to break the formation, even if they mention it to Zhou, as long as they don't let Zhou kill you and draw your soul, there is no problem." ”
