Chapter 23: The Ghost Boy

Soul Gathering Flower, also known as Soul Devouring Flower, the flower is white, the stem has no leaves, and each white petal needs to go through a thousand souls as fertilizer, and every petal grows thereafter, the required soul is several times more, and what is even more rare is the effect of this flower, it is not only effective for cultivators, but also for the gods are a little tempting.

Moreover, this thing is only found in the underworld, and if it wants to survive in the world, it needs to be planted in the body of a living person, and then it can be matured after a hundred years of cultivation.

The multi-soul gathering flower in Zhang Yixian's hand has six petals on it, and the seventh leaf has already emerged, which is purple and golden, which is very rare.

"This thing is too hurtful, this one plant needs the souls of sixty or seventy thousand people, and only the underworld can be raised with the soul of a powerful ghost, where does this fox demon come from. "Zhang Yixian's last sword failed to kill the fox demon, but it seriously injured him, and his sword qi was mixed with the sun essence in the sun, which had a miraculous effect on dealing with such evil and ghostly things.

He believed that this thing would not come out to harm people in a short time, and he had plenty of time to eliminate him, and now the difficulty was how to deal with the child lying on the ground.

Zhang Yixian looked at his appearance, except that his clothes were a little dirty and his hair was a little thick, it was no different from other children of the same age, but he was still not careless, but released a soul power to probe the child's body.

It doesn't matter if this investigation is over, when the investigation is over, Zhang Yixian's brows furrowed again, but he was thinking about how to deal with it.

As soon as Zhang Yixian's soul power touched the child's body, he was sucked in by it as food, and his whole body exuded a rich and heavy yin qi, and the whole person was like a living ghost.

But its heartbeat, breathing, and pulse all prove that this is a living person.

"Is there really such a person in this world? I used to listen to it, but I didn't expect it to be in front of me now, but now it has become a problem. Zhang Yixian guessed in his heart that although this child's face was immature, his age was at least forty years old, if it weren't for the rich and thick yin qi in his body, and the black thin rope that he had just cut off, maybe he would have become a dead soul long ago, obviously there was someone behind him who wanted him to live, just to cultivate that soul gathering flower.

And the reason why the yin qi on this child's body is so strong is not only because of the Soul Gathering Flower, but also because the person behind him chose him because he was born in the early morning of the Midyear Festival.

Such children have a very terrible name "ghost child".

Legend has it that on the day of the Yuan Ghost Festival, the passage from the underworld to the world will be opened, and the ghosts of the underworld will pour into the world, so on this day, every household will light incense and burn paper to the deceased ancestors, and will also set up another sacrifice for the lonely souls and wild ghosts.

And on this night, the children born from the wide opening of the ghost door are the most likely to be possessed by ghosts, lose their minds, and become what people call "ghost children".

Looking at the child in front of him, Zhang Yixian had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, now that the fox demon was injured by him and escaped, the yin qi in his body was still strong, and if he continued like this, if he did not suppress the yin qi in his body, he would become a nutrient for lonely souls and wild ghosts to suck.

"What can I do!" Zhang Yixian had a headache, thinking about it, there was no place to place this child, and it was impossible to watch him every day with him, if he was negligent, it was very likely to cause a big mistake, plus the outside world died in vain, and more and more people died unjustly, which is also a big trouble.

"I don't know if the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain have a way, it seems that they have to take some time to go to Longhu Mountain. Zhang Yixian thought about it, no matter where this child is placed, it is a trouble, it is better to take it with him first, maybe there will be a chance to treat it later.

What Zhang Yixian has to do at this time is to seal the yin qi in his body, once his yin qi is sealed, his consciousness will return, and the person will wake up.

Placing the child on the ground and sitting on his knees, Zhang Yixian took out the golden seal of the city god that symbolized power in his hand, and recited words in his mouth, the surface of the golden seal of the city god slowly emitted a precious golden light, and then under the fierce throw of Zhang Yixian's palm, a golden light gushed out of the golden seal of the city god, condensed into a thumb-sized gold seal, which was instantly printed on the child's eyebrows, and the yin qi that was originally overflowing everywhere slowly rolled back at this moment and entered its body, and after a while, the child's body was no different from ordinary people.

It's just that this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and it is not a long-term solution, Zhang Yixian is still thinking about how to deal with it in the future.

............

Just after Zhang Yixian made a move to seal the yin qi in the child's body, on a cliff more than a hundred miles away from the mountains and forests behind Qinjia Village, a young man dressed in white, with a handsome face and a petal mark in the center of his eyebrows, opened his eyes violently, looked straight in the direction of Qinjia Village, and stroked a palm-sized fox in his hand, and at this moment black blood was flowing above his belly.

The young man looked down at the fox whose palm was seriously injured, with an innocent smile on his face, his five fingers lightly touched the fox's fur, and the next moment the five fingers closed violently, and the fox that originally had a faint breath was immediately pinched into meat puree by the young man.

"There are still people in this world who can do my good deeds, interesting, really interesting. "Between the empty cliffs, the mist is curling, and the young man standing in front of the cliff whispers, and the voice that comes out of his mouth is actually a woman, a male and a female voice, which is really strange.

............

Yangtze River, Hebo Mansion.

The raging Yangtze River water mixed with some waves rolled on the river surface, and the next moment, a golden light descended from the sky on the river, and the waves that were originally more than one meter high were about to hit from here, and the next moment they were forced to disperse by this golden light.

When the golden light dissipated, a young man dressed in brocade appeared, holding a jade box with purple light and crystal clear in his hand.

Soon after the young man appeared, a burst of water bubbles surged under the wide river, and after it dispersed, the yaksha of Hebo's mansion stood on both sides, and the first person was Zhang Yixian's future old father-in-law, Hebo.

............

At the same time as all this happened, outside of Haozhou City, a wandering monk wearing a tattered monk's robe walked by a road, carrying a burden on his back, about twenty years old, full of heaven, with a round face, and an extraordinary bearing.

The wandering monk looked up at the moon in the sky, then at the barren land around him, and involuntarily soothed his stomach with his palms and continued to rush towards Haozhou City.

If Zhang Yixian was here, he would definitely be able to see that this person had a little red luck on him, far better than the county orders he had ever seen.
