Chapter 32: The Soul Eye
When Mo returned to the Black Witch House, Xia Bashan and Ni Oh were overjoyed.
"Why have you been there for so long? The old man thought something had happened to you. Shabashan worried.
"How long?" Mo was in the dark underground, unable to distinguish between day and night.
"It's been more than a month. ”
"So many days have passed. ”
"Did you catch the ghostface?" asked Neoh.
Mo Yan put down the basket, took out the heads of the two ghost-faced owls, and placed them in front of Ni Oh.
Ni Oh was taken aback, and his black eyes gradually expanded, almost covering his entire eye socket: "This is the ghost face spirit owl of Wuling Mountain for hundreds of years, how can you catch it?"
"Are they different from ghost-faced owls?" Mo asked.
Ni Oh let out a long sigh and said slowly: "It's not different, this is a rare bird and beast that the black witch of Miaojiang has dreamed of for thousands of years, and it is difficult to find it only by its name. My mother once said before her death, the spirit owl is rare in a hundred years, and its medicinal power is not many times higher than that of the ghost-faced owl, you see this female owl is spotted, the old yin is thick and introverted, the male owl crane is elderly, and the old yang breath is thick and overflowing, this girl is really amazing. ”
"How old are they?"
"At least five hundred years. ”
It must be the real medicine, Mo Yu thought.
Xia Bashan asked about the process of hunting in the mountains, and couldn't help sighing after listening, when he saw the sixteen pupils, his eyes opened wide, and he danced excitedly, and kept saying: "Good things, good things, hundred-year-old herbs, must be like that piece of old gastrodia, can have the effect of resurrecting the dead." ”
Mo Yan didn't mention the two particles that emitted green faint fluorescence, he still followed the principle of not saying unnecessary things.
Ni Oh began to prepare the potion for cultivating the Soul Eye, lit a fire and boiled it under a large clay pot containing the turquoise liquid, and then put the heads of the two ghost-faced spirit owls into the jar to boil, and a strong smell of herbs permeated the hut.
After a few hours, the skull of the owl floated up, and Ni Oh scooped it up to dry, and then began to cut it with a small hacksaw, and the male and female spirit owls had a thin hole in each of the bulges of the celestial spirit cover, and then tied a cloth belt, and finally made a pair of bone blindfolds.
"Mo Remnant, you need to carry it day and night, look out from the small hole in the middle, eat, sleep, work and do things without taking it off, it will be very uncomfortable at first, and you will get used to it after slowly changing your vision. Besides, every night this girl has to decoct your eyes with medicine, understand?" explained to him.
"Got it. ”
From now on, Mo Yan wore a spirit owl eye patch every day, and looked out through the small hole in the middle like a needle's nose, which was simply too awkward, especially when he slept at night and even turned over.
Months have passed, and Wuling Mountain is already the season of spring flowers.
Some Miao people who came to solve the Gu said that the most famous "six-fingered Gu woman" in Phoenix City was killed by someone at the door of his house, and even the six-fingered palm was chopped off, and the government traced it for a long time without clues.
Nioh just snorted when he heard it.
Mo Yan had already noticed that his eyesight had undergone a certain change, the original perspective seen through the small hole was very narrow, and it slowly expanded with time, and the most different thing was night vision, even in the dark night without moonlight, he could clearly see far away.
On the night of Qingming, an abnormal situation that shocked him finally happened.
The moonlight is like water, and in addition to the sound of insects chirping in the mountains, everything is silent.
Mo Yan couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so he quietly got up and walked out of the hut. His gaze looked through the small hole in the eye mask of the spirit owl, and suddenly saw that there seemed to be a black shadow shaking in the shadow under the thousand-year-old grandson tree not far away, and then he became vigilant, took off his bow and arrow from the eaves wall, and tiptoed over.
When I got closer and took a closer look, I couldn't help but be surprised, a black haze shaped like an old ape was spitting into the moonlight, unaware of Mo Yan's arrival, and still inhaling greedily there.
Mo Yan poked the black shadow with a bow and arrow, and it was as unobstructed as smoke.
"You can finally see it. Someone behind him suddenly said.
Mo Yan looked back and saw that Ni Oh was sitting in a wheelchair looking at him in surprise.
"Girl, I saw a black ape-like mass of air spitting into the moonlight, but it didn't look like it was real. Mo said confusedly.
"It's real, this thousand-year-old tree has absorbed a lot of yin qi for a long time, and the old yin has gathered and formed, so it comes out every night to suck the moonlight to help it cultivate. Nioh explained.
"I see, the lesions of people with carbuncles and boils are sucked by it. ”
"Because those diseases are formed by the accumulation of yin and poisonous qi in the human body, it is also one of the sources of old yin qi, which is extremely helpful for its cultivation. ”
"The old yin qi of the ancient tree has gathered into the form of a beast, but it will take many years to transform into a human form, right?"
"It's still a few hundred years. ”
"When the time comes, will you be able to eat, dress, or get married and have children like other people?"
"No, although you only have your sanity after cultivating the Chengren form, you must still be attached to the human body in order to be like an ordinary person, otherwise you may be wiped out when you encounter Lao Yang. ”
"What is 'Lao Yang'?" Mo asked.
"It's the sun, and the sun is their nemesis. ”
"Oh, isn't this the ghost in folklore where you can't see your head? Mo Yan understood.
Ni Oh smiled slightly and said, "Mo Yan, you are just the beginning now, and in the future, the Dementor Eye will mature, and when the time comes, you will see more incredible things in the human world." This girl originally thought that it would take at least two or three years for you to reach this step, but she didn't expect the medicinal effect of the ghost-faced spirit owl to be so high, and in just a few months, she opened the soul eye, and then gradually improved her skills, and then there was another year and a half. ”
Mo Yu took stock of the treasures he treasured: the turtle armor and the small half of the bamboo tube of the hundred insect warehouse, the two green 'stones' in the stomach of the ghost-faced spirit owl, and eight pupils, and the other eight were given to Mr. Xia. He felt very satisfied, he had three real medicines when he first set foot in the rivers and lakes, and the used dzi was not counted.
In his spare time, he added honey to these three true medicines and made more than 100 honey pills, sealed them with wax, and divided them into three different colors. Among them, the white is the hundred insect warehouse, the cyan is the turtle shell, and the black is the pupil, all of which are poured into a bamboo tube and stored well. As for the two green and faint spirit owl 'stones', I don't know what to use, so I will wrap them in paper and put them away later.
The talisman had also made considerable progress, and his soul eye had been able to discern whether each talisman had been infused with true qi and the size of the aura.
It's just that I can't figure out how to make the method of Jing retrograde cultivation, it seems that I can only ask Jin Danzi again, he once said that after refining the "Shrinking the Fetus and Dispersing Qi Gong", he will naturally get through the big and small Zhoutian, and then he can cultivate the essence retrograde.
One evening, a Miao man sent a middle-aged Miao woman with hysteria, her eyes blurred and her mouth kept talking nonsense. After seeing it, Ni Oh let Mo Yan see what disease she was suffering from, and the Miao people didn't think much when they saw Mo Yan wearing a strange eye patch, everyone knew that Ni Oh was originally a mysterious black witch.
Mo Yan's perspective is not much different from that of without an eye patch, probably because his pupils can absorb refracted light better than before. After a while, he saw that something was wrong, and there was a pair of large blood-red bulging eyes faintly in the depths of the woman's black pupils, and he told Nioh what he had seen.
"Look at it a little longer. Nioh commanded.
Mo Yan then concentrated his mind on his eyes, and sure enough, he found that in addition to the pair of convex eyes, golden warts gradually appeared in the woman's black pupils, and finally a complete red-eyed giant bitter beetle appeared.
"It's a bitter beetle. He said.
"Yes, the possession is a bitter beetle that has been practicing for hundreds of years, that is, the golden toad, to deal with it, you need to use poisonous snake blood, don't be cruel, you go and catch one back. Nioh nodded in satisfaction.
"Is this golden toad also formed by the gathering of old yin?"
"No, birds and beasts also have aura, ordinary golden toads can live for a maximum of twenty or thirty years, if they absorb enough old yin qi by chance, their lifespan will be extended accordingly, and if they live for more than a hundred years, they will also know how to cultivate. It's just that this golden toad has only been cultivated for a few hundred years, and it can't wait to be possessed before it transforms into a human form, so it can't be like an ordinary person, it will only make the possessed person hysterical and talk nonsense, and it seems to be crazy. ”
Mo Yan went to the mountains and forests for a turn, and after a while, he pinched seven inches and brought back a highly poisonous live rattlesnake, which kept shaking its tail and making a "rustling" bluffing sound.
The woman on the ground was extremely frightened and uneasy when she heard the rattlesnake sound, and struggled to get up and escape, but was choked by two young men from the Miao family.
Nioh ordered Mo Mo to kill the snake, and took a small half bowl of warm snake blood and poured it into the woman. Suddenly, the woman's body jumped up and down, and she scolded loudly, and the two strong Miao family men couldn't hold it back.
"Mo Remnant, you can take off your blindfold. Oh said.
Mo Yan was stunned when he heard this, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
"Yes, you've already trained your Soul Eye, so you don't have to wear an eye patch anymore. Neoh looked at him with a smile.
Mo Yan was overjoyed, pulled off the eye patch of the spirit owl, looked down and saw that a faint mist was slowly released from under the woman, and a golden bitter beetle that was panting for more than a foot was slowly crawling out, looking up at Mo Yan with a pair of protruding eyes, with fear in his eyes.
Except for Mo Yan and Ni Oh, none of the others present saw this golden toad.
"Let it go, it's not easy to cultivate for hundreds of years. Nioh whispered.
The golden toad looked at Ni gratefully, slowly crawled away, and finally disappeared into the woods.
The woman gradually woke up, and it was not clear what had happened, so the family members thanked her and left with her.
It turns out that there are really these supernatural things, what Mo Yan has seen and heard in the past few years since he walked out of western Yunnan has given him a new view of the world, and he has also strengthened his determination to practice.
But he didn't notice that the black pupils of his eyes were nearly twice as large as before, just like Nioh.
