Volume 1 The Chrysalis Chapter 38 Soul Hunting

"Soul matter?

"Soul quality, as the name suggests, is the soul part of the ghost. Analogous to the three souls and six spirits of a human being, a ghost has only one soul. When a person loses his soul, he loses consciousness and becomes the living dead. And if the ghost has no soul quality, the ghost quality is the most ordinary thing. ”

"Speaking of which, you lost your main soul some time ago, if I hadn't given you Wan Chan Dan and recalled your soul, I'm afraid you would still be asleep now!"

"What did you say!?"

The shock in Daifuku's heart at this time can hardly be expressed in words!

Wan Chandan was actually given to him by Brother Yun! When did this happen, why didn't he have any impression at all?

Moreover, listening to him, the reason why he was able to recover his soul seemed to be the credit of Wan Chandan, does Wan Chan Dan still have the effect of conjuring souls?

Didn't you say it in the notebook?

Isn't it because of Xing'er herself that she woke up?

But Daifuku is very sure that he woke up because of Xing'er, and it is not the credit of Wan Chan Dan that Yun said.

Moreover, the information on the handbook also shows that Wan Chan Dan only has the effect of warming the soul and strengthening the soul, and does not have the ability to summon souls.

There must have been a problem with the information somewhere, which caused Yun to think that Wan Chandan had helped him find his soul.

But that's okay, you don't have to explain why you can wake up after losing your soul, Yun directly helps you find the reason.

Seeing Daifuku's shocked look, I thought Daifuku was frightened by the truth.

Yun chuckled and said:

"I know this sounds a bit fantastical, your soul was actually designed to be taken away by someone, in fact, I didn't expect that the effect of Wan Chan Dan is so powerful, and you can actually take your soul back from those people. ”

The gang?

"Brother Yun, who are those people in your mouth? And just now I clearly heard that monster call you a ghost hunter, who are you?"

Yun looked at the sunset sign on Daifuku's head, sighed lightly, and said:

"Child, are you sure you want to know? If you know these things, I'm afraid you will never be able to return to a normal life! You may even be attacked by evil spirits at any time, and your life will be in danger at any time. And you also have to take on some responsibilities that don't belong to you. Now, are you sure you want to know?"

Daifuku was stunned, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

He didn't expect that just knowing something would involve something so serious.

He looked back at Qian'er, who was still standing obediently by the wall, looking in the direction of his mother's corpse, listening to his own words, without any movement.

He thought of what Xing'er said again: Tongsheng...... Die together!

He looked at his neighbors, who had been hunted by ghosts, and his unconscious father......

If you have the strength of the cloud, isn't it, all this can happen without happening?

Now, there is such an opportunity in front of me, and I am intimidated by a simple sentence or two?

Then what qualifications do you have to protect Xing'er, protect Qian'er, and protect all those who love you!

Daifuku raised his head and looked into the eyes of the clouds, his little face was full of determination!

At this time, there was no more fear in his eyes, and there was only firmness!

"I'm sure!"

Yun was stunned, for some reason, he felt something in this child's eyes, called-

Craving!

The thirst for power, the thirst for the unknown, and the thirst for protection!

In his eyes......

There is light!

Yun nodded slightly, and there was a hint of softness and admiration in his cold eyes.

"Well, since you insist on this, then I will tell ......you! If there are evil ghosts in the world that harm people, there must be a group of people like us who can hunt and kill evil ghosts and maintain balance in the world, and such people are called ghost hunters! However, not all people are qualified to become ghost hunters, and ghost hunters must have a strong mental quality and the wisdom to fight wits and courage against ghosts. More importantly, you need to survive the erosion of ghost energy, and in your body, you will have the existence of a soul hunter! If you don't persevere, then you will become a demon, or you will be directly eroded by the ghost energy to death. ”

"Ghost hunting? What is that?"

"Ghost energy, in fact, is the power emitted by very powerful evil ghosts, once ordinary creatures touch it, they will definitely die! Only a very small number of creatures can rely on their own physique to resist the invasion of ghost qi, and transform it into their own power, so as to become a ghost hunter! Ghost hunter, the name sounds very glamorous, but in fact, once you become a ghost hunter, it means that you are no longer human!"

"What?" Daifuku was shocked again.

"There are only two outcomes of being attacked by ghosts: death...... Or be reborn in death! It is only after death and rebirth that a soul hunter can be created in the body. Of course, ghost qi can corrupt anything, plants, animals, people, and even dead things, but only people can become ghost hunters! Other creatures can only become ghost creatures when they are infected by ghost qi, just like the ghost in front of us, which is eroded by ghost qi. Don't ask me why, because I don't know either! It's been true since ancient times! No one knows why only people can be ghost hunters, and I've never seen an animal or a bench that can release a hunting spirit. ”

Daifuku just wanted to ask why only people could become ghost hunters, but he was interrupted by the clouds, so he stopped talking and continued to listen carefully.

"After the soul hunter is created in the body, you have the qualification to become a ghost hunter! This sun-shaped sign on your head is the externalization of the soul hunter! It's just that you haven't awakened now, and you can't take it into your body. As for why there is a soul hunt in your body, it must be the ghost energy carried by Wan Chan Dan itself that stimulates your body. ”

"You're lucky, though. Yun said with a look of envy and hatred: "When you generated the soul hunter, it happened to be when you lost the main soul and lost consciousness, you don't have to endure the pain of ten thousand ants devouring your body, how many soul hunters are in the process of suffering from the erosion of ghost qi, because they didn't endure this pain and ended up with no bones." It's really jealous of you for having such an adventure......"

"I also have a soul hunter?"

He didn't hear anything behind the clouds at all, so Daifuku cried out in surprise and touched the warm sunset on his head.

It turns out that this strange sunrise is the so-called soul hunting!

Can he become a powerful soul hunter like Yun?

Daifuku was excited!

However, he also found a problem, he has a soul hunting, why can't he exert his power?

Don't......

Daifuku suddenly remembered that there was the word "awakening" in Yun's words just now.

Haven't you awakened yet?

"Brother Yun, what exactly is soul hunting, and how should soul hunting awaken?"

"This is more complicated, after we solve this matter, I will guide you to the awakening of the soul hunt. Let me first explain to you what soul hunting is. Soul hunting, in fact, is the source of a ghost hunter's strength, and it is also an important symbol to distinguish the ability of a ghost hunter. Depending on the soul hunter, the way the ghost hunter hunts evil spirits will also be very different, and the abilities that different soul hunters can give the ghost hunter will also be very different......!

Yun backhanded the thin sword in his hand behind his back, put his left index finger and middle finger in front of him, and finally said softly: "Now!"

Then the anomaly occurred, and the shape of a blood-red cloud slowly appeared on the forehead of the cloud.

"This is my Soul Hunter, Flowing Cloud, which is not usually revealed, and only appears when I am actively summoned. Its ability to be light is that when I summon it, it can make my body look like a cloud, and its speed can be increased by up to three times!"

No way!

After Yun summoned the Soul Hunter, Daifuku saw that there were more ethereal clouds and mist on his body, surrounding Yun.

It makes his body look a little illusory, as if he has disappeared from this world, as if a gust of wind can blow it away!

That's also cool 8!

Seeing this scene, Daifuku's eyes were already full of little stars!

But why is this cloud blood-red?

"Brother Yun, aren't clouds generally white, why are yours blood-red?"

The corners of Yun's mouth rose slightly, touched Dafu's head, and said gently:

"It seems that you have discovered that when each soul hunter awakens, according to the degree of erosion of ghost qi, there will be different levels of awakening, which are white, orange, red, and gold. ”

Daifuku suddenly remembered that Xing'er also seemed to have the shape of a star on his head......

!?Xing'er is also a ghost hunter?

But it's a pity that it's white, and I don't know what color my hunting soul will be when it awakens?

"In addition, ghost hunters are also ranked. Although the level of awakening will affect the fullness of the ghost qi, this gap can be made up by the cultivation of the day after tomorrow. You will naturally know the specific cultivation method after you become a ghost hunter, and after the ghost qi reaches a certain level, you can advance. Ghost hunters can be divided into ten levels according to the cultivation level of the ghost qi in their bodies, the highest can reach the tenth rank ghost hunter, and the lowest is the first class ghost hunter. ”

"Then Brother Yun, what level of ghost hunter are you now, how can you tell what the level of a ghost hunter is?"

It turns out that there are still so many unknowns in this world, and Daifuku feels that he has lived in vain for the first eleven years.

If I hadn't encountered the cloud today, I guess I wouldn't have known these things in my life.

"I'm currently a fifth-class ghost hunter, as for how to check the level of a ghost hunter......"

Yun smiled and touched Dafu's little head and said, "Only the ghost hunter can know about this, but I can tell you now that after becoming a ghost hunter, you can infiltrate your own ghost qi into the other party's soul hunting." In the soul hunting space, you can check the number of soul essences in the opponent's soul hunting, and how many are the number of them. ”

"Isn't that a ghost?"

"You're right, souls are indeed ghosts. But don't forget, ghost hunters are also ghosts in essence! After the ghost qi in the body reaches a certain level, the strength of the ghost hunter will reach a bottleneck, and at this time, it will no longer be possible to improve the strength by refining the ghost qi from the outside world. You can only break through the bottleneck of the ghost qi in your body by absorbing the ghost's soul essence and ascend to the next stage, so that you can continue to improve your strength, and the stronger the ghost's soul, the stronger your strength will be after absorbing the soul essence, because - you can use the power of the ghost!"

Daifuku was excited in his heart, and said excitedly:

"Isn't that the more ghosts I hunt, and then choose the most capable ghosts as my soul quality, then my strength can be improved faster?"

"Then you're too naΓ―ve to think!" Yun directly poured a basin of cold water on Dafu, and his mood was a little low:

"If it was so easy to obtain soul quality, I wouldn't be a fifth-rank ghost hunter now!"

Daifuku was stunned and said questioningly, "Isn't it possible to obtain its soul quality after hunting ghosts?"

Yun smiled bitterly: "It's not as simple as you think, not to mention how difficult it is to hunt ghosts, even if you successfully hunt them, you may not be able to get their soul quality." Because there is a rule in the world, called reincarnation! Ghosts are not things that belong to the human world, so once the ghost nature is destroyed, their soul quality will be stripped out, and then sucked into the reincarnation well by the power of reincarnation! There is only a very small probability that they can stay in the world without being detected by the power of reincarnation, for the ghost hunter to absorb, and improve their own strength!"

"Therefore, the appearance of every soul essence will cause the coaxing of all kinds of ghost hunters, because it is too cherished! In fact, my strength has reached the level of the fifth rank as early as thirty years ago, and I am only one step away from the sixth rank ghost hunter! I am only one soul quality, but I have been searching for thirty years, during which I have hunted more than a dozen evil ghosts, and not a single soul has appeared! In our profession, the higher the strength, the longer you live, otherwise, you may be killed by evil ghosts at any time, we are good ghost hunters, but if we are also careless, we will become the prey of ghosts! In addition, the conditions for the production of ghost hunters are extremely harsh, therefore, there are fewer and fewer ghost hunters in this world! Otherwise, this world will not become a paradise for evil ghosts. ”

Yun sighed heavily and shook his head helplessly.

Daifuku was beside Yun and felt his sad mood, he didn't know how much the ghost hunter longed for the soul

All he knew was that every ghost hunter wanted to live!

Suddenly, Daifuku remembered something, Dr. Hua seemed to have said that he saw a young man at that time, if that person was Yun, then why is he still so young now?

So Daifuku asked with a strange face:

"Brother Yun, how old are you this year?"

"I'm over 100 years old this year. Yun said lightly.

Daifuku: "......"

As if to see a large inner groove, Yun explained:

"Ghost hunters are not limited by the rules of this world, and I have lived a hundred years, which is actually a few. If my strength can be raised to the tenth rank, then I can live with this world if I want to. ”

When Daifuku heard this, his heart was shocked, but more - it was ecstasy, although he didn't understand how terrible death was.

But the thought of how long he could live and play all the games he hadn't played made him feel so excited.

"But do you think that living long is really what we people want? Since I became a ghost hunter, my parents, my wife, and my son, have all been killed by demons, and I have been living alone for decades now...... In the past few decades, I have come by myself, and only I know how much loneliness I have endured. ”

Daifuku was stunned......

"Forget it, don't mention these sad things. All I can do now is to hunt all the ghosts I see! Let the people who die in this world for no reason get some comfort, this is the only thing I can do......"

Seeing that he seemed to have poked at Yun's sadness, Dafu hurriedly changed the topic and said:

"Brother Yun, are there really so many ghosts in this world, and how did they come here?"

"The appearance of ghosts is actually impossible to study, in fact, there are no ghosts in the world, and no one knows how the first ghost in the world came about. But if we can find it, we may be able to solve the problem of ghosts in this world from the root. At present, some of the existing ghosts in the world are still obsessions after death, resulting in the accumulation of resentment, and the soul cannot be detached, nor can it enter the reincarnation well, and can only wander in the world. There is also a part of the fact that some creatures are contaminated with ghost energy and gradually evolve into ghosts. ”

Daifuku suddenly thought of one thing, when he was in the sunrise space, Dr. Hua once said.

When Yun went to hunt down this ghost, he left behind the strange notebook, and the notebook also showed a thing called "Ghost Gate".

Daifuku still remembers the sentence clearly: "The ghost door is wide open, and a hundred ghosts walk at night!"

Could it be that the ghost came out of that, and what is that ghost door, and where is it now?

Daifuku just wanted to ask a question, but Yun had already continued to explain, so he had to swallow the question back into his stomach for the time being.

"Like the one in front of us, it's actually an ordinary cicada chrysalis contaminated with ghost energy. ”

Yun looked at the monster that was still lying on the ground and said:

"I call him a chrysalis. I've been tracking it for a long time, when it was just born, and it was only at the level of Ding, and I almost killed him, but he ran away. I didn't expect to see it again, and I can already speak to the level of a C-class ghost. This time, I must kill him, otherwise if I let it grow, I may become a second-class ghost, and when the time comes, it will not be something I can deal with!"

"Brother Yun, what is the third and second class you just mentioned, is it the level of a ghost?

"In fact, the level of ghosts is distinguished according to the wisdom of ghosts, and according to wisdom, they are divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D.

The lowest level is the Ding and other ghosts, they will only wander according to their specific behavior patterns, they are not intelligent or unconscious, and they will not take the initiative to hurt people, most of them are wandering spirits, or some kind of creature has undergone ghost baptism and change. But don't underestimate Ding and other ghosts because of this, because even Ding and other ghosts, if the harm level is too high, they will kill people!"

"Hazard level?"

"That's right, no matter what level of ghost it is, there is a level of harm, and some ghosts will only absorb people's energy, make people feel tired, and have little impact on humans. For example, the heart ghost is the lowest level of ghost, which belongs to the Ding level, and he will only affect your memory inadvertently. There must be times when you feel as if you have experienced that incident, but in fact, it is the ghost that appears and affects you. ”

"Further up is the C-class ghost, who will have some of their own consciousness and obsessions, and will also have the same child-like wisdom, just like the one in front of us, which can be included in the category of C-class. Because he already has a clear purpose and awareness, and he is still an evil ghost, he will take the initiative to hurt people. That's why he uses some simple tricks to achieve his goals. ”

"As for the second-class ghosts and first-class ghosts, they even have wisdom and abilities far beyond ordinary people, unless you are a ghost hunter above the eighth rank, otherwise, you can run directly after seeing it, although you may not be able to run away, but in the face of them, you will not have the slightest chance of winning!"

And at this time, the monster in front of you, oh no, should be called a chrysalis now.

He seemed to have recovered by this time, and gradually stood up......

At this time, Daifuku noticed that when it stood up, it had been protecting its chest, which was the position of Wan Chandan, its child.

Daifuku suddenly thought of his parents and Qian'er's mother.

Some of them are running around for their children, and some even give their lives.

And this ghost seems to be taking care of its children in its own way.

Is it really a demon......

"Brother Yun, isn't there a good ghost in this world......"

Hearing this, Yun shuddered and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

After pondering for a long time, he said categorically:

"Nope!"

Then he seemed to think of something, his face flashed a little tangled, and finally he seemed to have made up his mind, touched Dafu's head and said:

"You remember, never have mercy on ghosts, no matter what level of ghosts, they are emotionless, at most they will not hurt humans, but you should never expect them to be merciful, what will help you! ”

Is that so...... Dafu didn't know why in his heart, and he felt a little more lost for no reason, maybe he saw the existence of family affection in this ghost......

"Brother Yun, since the ghost hunter is so powerful, why has it never been recorded in the book? Now there are so many evil ghosts in the world, someone has always seen them and written them down, right?"

"It's normal for you to have this question, but ghost hunters generally stay away from the crowd when fighting evil spirits, and few people can see them for fear of accidental injury. As for what you said in the book...... Actually, there are really books that record ghost hunters. ”

"Really, who is it?" Daifuku asked in amazement.

"Do you know Pu Songling?"

"Of course I know, I like his chat the most!"

"Pu Songling is the earliest group of ghost hunters in history, and the stories written in his books are all his personal experiences!"

Yun said lightly.

And Daifuku is completely stupid in place.

What the hell? Pu Songling is a ghost hunter!!???
