Chapter Seventy-Three: The Story of the Ghost Gu
The Yaowang Valley is located in the wilderness area south of the Chu Kingdom, which is extremely poor in terms of geographical location, but the wilderness is full of mountains and rivers, forests and swamps, but it breeds many precious plants, which is indeed a good place for alchemists. The ghost Gu family has settled in the Medicine King Valley a long time ago, the ghost clan is the descendants of the ancient god Shennong, when the Shennong clan tasted all the herbs, it was a generation of pharmacist sage, and the ghost clan as its descendants, this ability to refine medicine is famous, but a small boundary in the Medicine King Valley, there is no country or seal, it can enjoy the reputation of the Three Realms, relying on not only the technology of refining medicine, the people of the Shennong tribe in the Medicine King Valley are born with a magical ability, they are born with an inexplicable sense with the spirit beasts of the other world, this ability was later developed into a technique by the clansmen, which is the unique spirit summoning technique of the Three Realms Medicine King Valleyใ
Regarding the spirit summoning technique, this is a very special technique, and the reason why it is special is because the spirit summoning technique is completely a technique that is completely outside the mainstream mana system in the human world, and its release principle does not rely on mana, but on the unique spiritual power of the ghost clan. The so-called spiritual power is a kind of power that originates from the soul, the full name is soul perception, this soul perception is the basis for communication between the ghost clan and the spirit beasts of the other world, and the spirit summoning technique is to reach a contract with the spirit beast through its own spiritual power, so as to let the spirit beast be driven by it within the conditions of the contract.
Generally speaking, there are two kinds of spirit beasts that have reached a contract, one is called the companion spirit beast, this kind of spirit beast is relatively more, but the ability is more general, and the relationship with its spirit summoner is simply driven by interests, the spirit summoner dedicates his soul nutrients to support the spirit beast, and the companion spirit beast does things for it, and the other is called the Bunsheng spirit beast, this spirit beast can only have one, it is a natural spirit beast that is integrated with the soul of its summoner, and it will accompany the life of the spirit summoner, basically, it is the nature of the unity of man and beast, twin and double cultivation. The strength level of the spirit summoner is determined according to the number of spirit beasts he can control and the combat power value of the Born spirit beast, the more spirit beasts that can be controlled, the stronger its spiritual power, and the stronger the Born spirit beast, the higher the degree of integration of the soul and the spirit beast, if both are strong, it is enough to be called a spirit summoner.
Such a person, the Medicine King Valley is rare for a thousand years, and the father of the ghost Gu, the former high priest of the Medicine King Valley, the ghost Liu, is such a family, whose ability is outstanding and well-known in the Three Realms, so that he later joined the Imperial Spirit Hall and became a member of the strongest celestial group "Cangling" in the human world at that time, but it suddenly disappeared, and so far the Royal Spirit Palace has not given a satisfactory answer to the Medicine King Valley. After the death of Ghost Liuyan, his younger brother Ghost Liuyan succeeded him as the high priest, and then the Valley of the Medicine King quickly fell silent, as if all the limelight gradually faded down over time, and the two siblings of Ghost Gu and Ghost Dance, as the orphans of the previous high priest, have been staying at their uncle's house for several years.
That year, Ghost Gu was eight years old, and it was in that year that he took Xiao Wu's hand and returned from collecting medicine from the mountain, and as soon as he returned to his uncle's house, he learned the news that his uncle gave birth to a boy. Because the child's innate spirit beast is a ghost spirit boy, and the ghost spirit boy is the original spirit beast of the ghost flow who was in the limelight back then, everyone has a hunch that there is very likely to be another genius who has not been encountered in a thousand years in the Medicine King Valley, and out of some psychology, the child's name is called the ghost spirit child.
Before the spirit boy was born, the strongest Bunsen spirit beast recognized in the Medicine King Valley was Xiao Wu's White Tiger, but Xiao Wu's spiritual power was thin since he was a child, and he couldn't control the Bunsen White Tiger freely, so naturally he was not on the clan's key cultivation list.
At this moment, the ghost Gu took Xiao Wu's hand and stood in front of his uncle's bed, they ignored the much-anticipated baby held by the uncle next to them, what they saw was the uncle's bleeding lower body, just before they entered the room, there was an order from the uncle to save the child at all costs came from the door, the voice was very resolute, and the ghost Gu's heart trembled when he heard it. Sure enough, as the price of the birth of a genius, his uncle, a pathetic woman who had dedicated her life to her man, died in her own bed due to excessive bleeding, and the target of her last eyes was her husband, and the uncle's attention was all on the newborn genius in his arms, and he did not notice anything else.
Ghost Gu looked at his uncle and remembered her previous bits and pieces, what a virtuous woman, treating herself and her sister as if she were her own, even the scarf around her neck was made by her uncle who had not slept for several nights. He gently smoothed her unclosed eyes with his hand, in this day of the Great Celebration of the Whole Valley, there was an inexplicable emptiness in the heart of the ghost Gu, and it was also from that day that he began to become silent and indifferent.
Among the spirit beasts, there are four great fairy spirits, seven fierce spirits, these spirit beasts are standing at the peak of the spirit beast world, Xiao Wu's white tiger is one of the fairy spirits, but everyone in the Medicine King Valley knows that in terms of strength, the fierce spirits absolutely stabilize the fairy spirits, these seven fierce spirits, known as the "seven deadly sins", the most powerful of which is the sin of greed Ghost Wang Tong, and the ghost spirit child is the young body of the ghost Wang Tong. Therefore, the spirit child's original spirit beast is not born extremely strong, and the ghost spirit child needs to go through a long period of growth to become a ghost king child, and this growth process is definitely difficult.
After the spirit boy was born, as the No. 1 cultivation object of the Medicine King Valley, the ghost Gu and the ghost dance were almost never seen. Basically, he stays in a hidden place every day to cultivate and cultivate the Bunsen spirit beast, how to cultivate, the ghost Gu doesn't know, and he doesn't care, he still pulls his sister's hand up the mountain to collect medicine every day, and goes to worship his uncle at a fixed time, and clears the weeds on the side of the cemetery, the life of the ghost Gu in the past few years is so simple, and the valley is also calm, but his uncle has become a little strange, he often engages in some slave trading with other tribes and likes to go out in the middle of the night and then come back for a long time, but these, for the ghost Gu, are all things that have nothing to do with him, if it weren't for an accidentHis life could go on like this forever.
That accident made him, Xiao Wu, and Lingtong's fates intertwined, and the accident originated from Xiao Wu's astonishing discovery, that day, Xiao Wu panted and ran to the ghost Gu's side, her little face showed a huge horror, the ghost Gu could not forget that expression in his life, he hurriedly asked:
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Wu's voice trembled, and she said:
"Back Mountain...... There is a small dark house in the back mountain...... There are youkai eating ...... inside Cannibalism. โ
At the beginning, the ghost Gu didn't fully understand the meaning of this sentence, thinking that Xiao Wu encountered something terrible when he went to the back mountain to collect medicine, the ghost Gu didn't take it to heart, but seeing Xiao Wu's expression, he realized that this matter was definitely not trivial, he comforted Xiao Wu first, and sent her all the way home, and then he took the opportunity to come out and go around to the back mountain, he wanted to see what scared his sister like this.
He searched in the back mountain for a long time, and when it was almost dark, he found the little black house that his sister said, the little black house was very hidden, and Xiao Wu must have found it by chance. Looking at that very ordinary little black house, the ghost Gu was very strange, because he had lived in the Medicine King Valley for so many years, and he had never known that there was actually a house in this back mountain. Ghost Gu approached, this house was fully enclosed, there were no windows, and the door was locked, but Ghost Gu obviously felt that this house was definitely not deserted, because the lock obviously had traces of being opened frequently.
The ghost Gu looked inside the house from the crack in the door, it was pitch black inside, and it was almost dark outside, so he couldn't see anything, but when he was close to the crack in the door, he could obviously hear some strange sounds coming from inside, the sound was similar to "squeak, squeak" and the like, hearing the ghost Gu gasp, thinking of Xiao Wu's words, he immediately felt that this sound was like his teeth when he was chewing and biting something, and it was very uncomfortable to hear.
Although the ghost Gu was scared at that time, his precocious psychological tolerance was still very strong, and he felt that this matter was particularly strange, could it be really like what his sister said, what kind of monsters are there in this house?
He had to figure out this, the sound continued, the ghost Gu rummaged through the lock on the door, and found that this lock actually carried his uncle's unique spell seal, and the ghost Gu was even more strange in his heart, why did his uncle's spell appear here? Could it be that the uncle sealed some monster here, but if it was a seal, why did this lock have traces of being opened from time to time?
The sky gradually darkened, darkness enveloped everything around, and the little black house became more and more unpredictable under the night.
In fact, at this time, the ghost Gu had already guessed six or seven points in his heart, because he had seen in the book that in the ghost spirit boy rapid cultivation method, there was a very vicious secret method, that is, feeding the ghost spirit child dead corpses every day. In this way, the corpse qi gathers in the body, as long as it can reach a certain amount, the ghost king boy can be quickly formed, but this method is set as a taboo because it is too vicious, and the spirit child has not been in the valley for many years on the grounds of cultivation, and his uncle has been very strange in recent years, often going out alone in the middle of the night, plus Xiao Wu's previous words, everything is reasonable, but he absolutely can't believe his guess, he doesn't believe that his uncle will be so mad.
He was to wait, and if his conjecture was correct, then, in a few hours, his uncle would come here while all the valley had gone to sleep.
In the middle of the night, a man came to the small black house, and that man was the current high priest of the Medicine King Valley, the uncle of the ghost Gu. The man made the seal, unlocked the door, and immediately there was a howl inside, and a thing rushed out, the thing had messy hair, and his face was full of blood, and when he came out, he still had a broken arm in his mouth, and the ghost Gu hid in the grass on the side, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that the thing that looked like a beast was actually his cousin, the ghost spirit child.
Ghost Gu guessed everything correctly, his uncle really locked his child in this dark little dark room in order to quickly become a ghost king boy, and fed him dead corpses all day long.
The high priest took out a corpse from his Qiankun bag and threw it on the ground, the corpse looked like a slave at first glance, the ghost Gu now understood his uncle's purpose of buying those slaves that he didn't need, in order to cultivate the evil law, he indiscriminately killed innocents, and he also ate the corpse, this was simply disobedient, looking at the ghost Gu's heart trembled.
As soon as the spirit boy saw the corpse, he immediately pounced, and the high priest watched from the side, sighed, and said:
"It's been so long, when will this ghost king boy be able to practice? โ
That night, the ghost Gu stayed on the side until dawn, he didn't do anything, he didn't know what he could do, he just watched and saw all this in his heart. From then on, there was an extra scar on the ghost Gu's heart that would never heal, and it would never heal.
