Chapter Seventy-Nine: Ghost Hunting
Qiyun Ghost City is in the upper reaches of the Qingyang River, more than 8,000 miles away from Baoluo City.
Bai Ye and Xie Jing took a river boat in the door to go up the river.
As the top refining sect in the Xuanchen Realm, Wanbao Sect basically has shops selling magic weapons and magic weapons in various markets and large cities.
Therefore, there are often some transport caravans in the door, going to various places to escort magic weapons, magic weapons, and bring back spiritual materials collected from various stores.
Speaking of which, in the inner door and outer gate missions, there are tasks to escort these caravans all year round.
However, Bai Ye has never taken on such a task.
The river boat departed from Baoluo City and went up along the Qingyang River, passing through the Qingyang River and the seven countries along the way without stopping.
When the river boat finally left the Western Qin Kingdom, Bai Ye saw the imperial tomb of the Western Qin Kingdom from a distance.
I remembered the experience of the first time I did the task of the division and inspected the seven countries of the Qingyang River.
Bai Ye's heart couldn't help but move, and he suddenly urged the natal spirit weapon, and the imperial tomb of the Western Qin Kingdom changed in his eyes.
A black dragon hovered above the Imperial Tomb, spitting black clouds.
Nothing is out of the ordinary.
It's just that Bai Ye stared at the black dragon that was spitting black clouds, and he always felt that there seemed to be something wrong.
"Senior Brother Bai, what's wrong?" Bai Ye stared at the imperial tomb for too long, and Xie Jing on the side noticed it and asked suspiciously.
Bai Ye shook his head, after all, he couldn't find anything wrong with the black dragon, so Bai Ye retracted his gaze and said, "It's nothing, it's just that when I first entered the outer gate, the first time I did the task of the sect was to inspect the seven countries of the Qingyang River, and now I can't help but feel a little emotional when I revisit the old place." ”
Xie Jing nodded, stroked the one-legged red bird of the demon companion on his shoulder, and said, "I know that your mission, a total of five people, are all masters of the power of yin and yang, and can be regarded as the people who should be robbed. ”
"By the way, junior brother, do you know what the situation of those four people is now?"
Bai Ye shook his head, he really didn't pay attention to the situation of the four people.
Even among the four people, except for Shen San and Shen Jinquan, who had spoken to him, he didn't know him, and he didn't even know his name.
Xie Jing said: "There are four people, two of them are still Qi refining cultivators and outer disciples, one has built a foundation and condensed the soul, and one is missing!"
"Missing?" asked Bai Ye in surprise.
"That's right, he is missing, neither the mountain gate, nor the sect can contact him!" Xie Jing said this, and suddenly said: "In fact, the middle and high-level of the sect suspected that he had built a foundation and condensed his soul, and then awakened the memories of his previous life, so he took the initiative to leave!"
"Senior sister mean, that person is a person from the Nether of the Great Thousand Worlds?" Bai Ye said with a slight change in his face.
Xie Jing nodded and said, "So you have to be careful, this person may be unfavorable to you in the future." ”
As she spoke, she took out a jade slip and handed it over, saying that this is the person's information, you take a good look at it, if you meet him in the future, you should be careful.
"Thank you, Senior Sister. Bai Ye took the jade slip, and his spiritual sense probed into it to check it out.
The missing person is called He Yu, and there is an image of him in the jade slip, and his appearance is thoughtful, and at first glance it gives people a very gentle and trustworthy feeling.
Bai Ye looked at this person's appearance carefully, and felt that it was a little familiar, he should be one of the four people who did the same task at the beginning.
He Yu's natal instrument is the 'coffin lamp', which can burn yin qi and death qi to release light.
Bai Ye browsed the contents of the jade slip in general, which was detailed and clearly recorded He Yu's various methods.
After a while, Bai Ye put away the jade slip.
"Thank you, Senior Sister. He thanked Xie Jing again, and then asked, "I wonder who is the other one who built the foundation?"
"That person's name is Lu Defeng, and he has passed the door test to prove his origin! So the door also supports him, but it is not as good as you. ”
Xie Jing said.
"It's that you've been in retreat during this time, and you've turned away all kinds of solicitations and visits. ”
Lu Defeng took the opportunity to mix up, and did not refuse to be attracted and invited by all parties in the door. ”
Bai Ye listened and nodded thoughtfully, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the other party acting like this.
Everyone has their own way of cultivation, and it is the way of cultivation that refuses to be disturbed and single-mindedly cultivates like Bai Ye.
And like this Lu Defeng, he travels widely and makes friends with forces, which is also practice.
It's really not necessarily better than the other.
The other party can build the foundation so quickly, and it is not far from him, which can be seen.
"Senior sister, do you have any information about Lu Defeng?" Bai Ye suddenly asked.
Xie Jing nodded and said, "Yes, but it's just the most basic information, after all, he is also the one who should be robbed, and there is naturally support in the door!"
"Because of your status as a first-class disciple, the sect may pay more attention to you, but it will definitely not suppress the other party for you. ”
As she spoke, she also took out a jade slip and handed it to Bai Ye.
"This is Lu Defeng's basic information, and I believe that your basic information will inevitably go to Lu Defeng's hands. ”
"Senior sister, rest assured. Bai Ye took the jade slip and smiled confidently: "I have been taller than him since the beginning, and I am afraid that I will not be able to compete with him." ”
"I just want his information to see what he looks like, to be on the name, so as not to know him in the future, wouldn't it be embarrassing. ”
Xie Jing nodded and said with a smile: "This is the confidence of a first-class disciple. ”
Then there was no word, the river boat stopped and stopped along the way, unloading all kinds of magic weapons and spiritual weapons in various markets and cities, and loading all kinds of spiritual materials, spirit stones, spirit jade, spirit crystals, etc. collected into the boat.
After walking like this for more than ten days, Bai Ye saw a large area of yin qi tumbling in the distance, condensing into a cloudy sky, and even the sunlight was obscured.
That's the ghost town of Qiyun.
The river boat was not close to Qiyun Ghost City, hundreds of miles away, so it put down the two of them in the white night, Xie Jing and Xie Jing's demon companion, the one-legged red bird.
Bai Ye looked at the one-legged red bird with some curiosity.
"This is Bidan. Xie Jing introduced, "There is a trace of Bi Fang's blood. ”
Therefore, she generally does not speak, otherwise it is easy to invite disaster. ”
Bi Fang, the legendary bird of calamity, causes fires wherever he passes.
Bai Ye nodded and understood.
The two of them and one bird continued to march towards the Qiyun Ghost City, and when they were fifty miles away from the city, they were stopped by the people of the Qingyang League.
Since the Qingyang League and the Heavenly Ghost Sect fought a big battle and turned Qiyun City into a ghost city, the Qingyang League has sealed off this city.
In order to prevent the Heavenly Ghost Sect from infiltrating the city and destroying the Qingyang Alliance's ban on the Yin and Yang Passage that was opened.
Of course, Xie Jing wanted to come to some ghost towns to quench the yin fire, so he was naturally ready.
She had already obtained the pass to enter the ghost city through the contact with the Qingyang League in the door.
After showing the pass, Bai Ye and Xie Jing smoothly entered the Qiyun Ghost City.
As soon as I entered the ghost town, I suddenly had a strong yin qi, dead qi, and ghost qi rushing to my face.
Xie Jing immediately sacrificed the natal spirit weapon 'Treasure Flame Fan', and a circle of red light surrounded his body, incinerating and dispersing the surrounding yin and death qi.
Suddenly, not far ahead, under a collapsed city wall, a hazy ghost screamed out and fled quickly.
Seeing this, Bai Ye couldn't help but look at Xie Jing and smiled: "Senior Sister Xie, why don't you wait for me outside the city, your body of precious flame red light will scare away the ghosts from afar." ”
"This ......" Xie Jing was also a little stunned, she accepted the natal spirit weapon, and sacrificed a talisman, a silver light shield protected the whole body, blocking yin qi and death qi.
It's just that the aura of the talisman is consumed quickly, and it is almost visibly dimmed.
Xie Jing sighed helplessly and said, "Senior brother, it seems that I can only rely on you." ”
Bai Ye nodded and said, "Senior sister, don't worry, leave it to me." At least four or five days, at most ten days and a half months, I will definitely temper enough yin fire to hand over to my senior sister. ”
Quenching yin fire is not the same as quenching yang fire.
Xie Jing needs to take care of people's lives, so she takes a little yang energy from tens of thousands of people, each of whom takes a little yang energy, and slowly accumulates and refines yang fire.
The process is not difficult, but it is very troublesome and time-consuming.
So it took her half a year to quench the yang fire.
And refining yin fire is different, it is just a matter of directly refining ghost things.
Bai Ye didn't have to care about the lives of ghost things, in his estimation, refining hundreds of ghost things was enough to refine Yin Fire.
If there are really ghosts rampant in this Qiyun ghost town, there are enough ghosts.
Then it doesn't take many days to catch hundreds of ghost things and quench the yin fire.
"Then please leave it to the junior brother. After Xie Jing asked again, he left Qiyun Ghost City.
Bai Ye began to go deep into the ghost city of Qiyun, and the yin qi and death qi invaded from all directions, but they were all swallowed and refined by Bai Ye's yin and yang mirror.
He tracked down the ghost that had escaped earlier, and saw it again in a decaying and collapsed house not far from the city.
The ghost hovers in front of the house, as if something inside the house is attracting it, but it can't get inside.
Bai Ye stepped forward, and the yin qi around his body was permeated, blending with the surroundings, and he did not alarm the ghosts.
With a bunch of hands in his hand, the yin qi around him converged into a rope of yin qi and bound towards the ghost.
This is the 'Less Yin Qi' spell, and the white night is now extremely easy, and it feels like it's at your fingertips.
The chain of yin qi rolled up, and the wandering ghost thing was suddenly alert, and with a scream, it suddenly turned around and rushed straight towards the white night.
The face of this ghost creature is hideous and terrifying, its facial features are distorted and deformed, and when it pounces, the ten fingers of both hands are like hooks, flashing cold light, and its body is flying quickly, and it is in front of Bai Ye in the blink of an eye.
Bai Ye didn't avoid it, and the yin qi chain in his hand shook suddenly, and there was a sound of water.
The chain of yin qi suddenly changed, turning into a black water snake, opening its mouth to bite the ghost thing that pounced.
Spiritual art, Xuanyin Water Method! Condensing black water and turning Xuan Snake into a snake!
"Huh!" the ghost creature was obviously very afraid of the black water condensation of the black snake in the underworld, screaming, and the shape of the body that pounced, almost twisted in half, tried to avoid the black snake.
"Hiss!" The black snake condensed by the black water, like a living creature, hissed, and also turned its direction and bit quickly.
In the spiritual arts, there is the power of the soul, and the law has a primordial spirit, which is almost like a living thing, and can even automatically respond to stress changes.
No matter how twisted and deformed the ghost thing was this time, it was hard to avoid.
The black snake transformed by the 'Xuanyin Water Method' directly bites the ghost thing.
Suddenly, the ghost's fleeting figure began to freeze, black vapor filled the air, and even began to condense black ice.
Bai Ye immediately shook his hand, dispersed the spiritual black snake, and turned his hand to take out a black jade bottle.
A few tricks were on the black jade bottle, and the jade bottle opened, swallowing the ghost thing into the jade bottle.
The first ghost thing was successfully caught.
