Chapter 32: Ghosts
The mountain behind the Imperial Ghost Sect, the Valley of the Yin Soul.
It is said that this is the largest and most terrifying canyon in the entire Xiangguo, and no one has even seen the end. The terrain inside is treacherous, the roads are criss-crossed, the tombs are all over the mountains, and the air is even more cloudy, covering the sky and the sun.
No matter day or night, there are all kinds of ghosts raging, all kinds of ghosts crying wolves, mortals have nowhere to enter, even those who have cultivated to the advanced level, go deep into the hinterland, and almost no survivors.
There are two entrances to the valley, and the mountains in front of each entrance are guarded by a sect that is familiar with ghosts, one is the Imperial Ghost Sect, and the other is the Heavenly Demon Sect. The former is one of the four major sects of Xiangguo, but the latter is a rising star, the sect has been established for only a thousand years, and there is a great study of ghosts and monsters, and its strength has advanced by leaps and bounds over the years, and there are many frictions with the Royal Ghost Sect, and there is a tendency to keep pace with the Royal Ghost Sect.
There are countless ghosts and monsters in the Yin Soul Valley, and these two sects also specialize in ghost arts, and they need ghosts to cultivate, so every day and every night, there are always disciples of the two factions shuttling in the valley, some of them capture ghosts and practice evil skills, some kill ghosts and hone themselves, and there are even those who have a fluke mentality, looking for the rare and precious spirits and ghosts in it every day and night.
This night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and everything was silent, Yang Que left the Peak of Wujian and came directly to the entrance of the Yin Soul Valley.
After listening to the elder's ** in Luogu Peak for a few days, he was extremely curious about the various ghosts and monsters in the legends, and after the cultivation of "Ghost Fighting Technique" was completed, he couldn't wait to come to the Yin Soul Valley to see a thing or two.
As soon as Fang entered the valley, he felt an extremely strong yin qi rushing towards his face, if he hadn't cultivated the "Ghost Guarding Technique" and his own Yang body, he would have been immediately eroded by the evil qi, cold through the bone marrow, and have a serious illness.
Looking at the graves all over the place, the wind gusted, although Yang Que was a little nervous in his heart, he was not afraid, but more excited.
When he walked a distance and really entered it, he suddenly saw ghosts everywhere, black fog churning, and some extremely harsh and sharp strange sounds were heard in his ears.
As he passed a ruined tomb and was about to move on, he suddenly heard a terrible scream in his ears, and at the same time the grave beside him began to tremble violently, and the dirt on the grave fell one after another, and a new coffin as black as ink appeared!
"I died so miserably—"
With a gloomy and resentful voice, the coffin lid "squeaked" open, and at the same time, a corpse with pus all over its body slowly sat up, it opened a pair of bloody and incomparably white eyes, and looked at Yang Que emptyly.
Suddenly, it grinned and crawled out of the coffin.
"Human, give me your flesh to eat—" It dragged its voice in a low voice, revealing its fangs as it crawled towards Yang Que.
"I'm lucky, I just met a ghost. "Yang Que saw the terrifying face of the ghost for the first time, although he was a little disgusting, but he also felt curious.
When it crawled in front of it with its fangs open in the cold light, Yang Que suddenly raised two fingers, recited a mantra, and pointed at the center of the corpse's eyebrows, and the corpse exploded with a "poof", revealing its original form, which was actually a blue-faced imp with a pitch-black body, like a black mist condensed.
At the same time, the grave on the side was restored to its original state, and the coffin disappeared.
"You're a monk!" Seeing Yang Que's methods, the little ghost looked frightened, screamed, and turned around to flee.
Where would Yang Que let it go, turned over his hand and sacrificed the soul house given by the sect, directly ingested it, warmed it up, and waited to go back and practice it well.
"Since it is a powerful ghost, it should be possible to use it as a low-level ghost guard. Yang Que looked at the little ghost who was struggling and wailing in the soul house, and said secretly.
After listening to the elder explain the knowledge of ghosts for a few days, he probably knew the role of some ghosts, and according to the understanding of the Imperial Ghost Sect, these ghosts can be roughly divided into four categories: one is a wild ghost, the second is a powerful ghost, the third is a desire ghost, and the fourth is a spirit ghost.
Wild ghosts are the most common, and there are ten ghosts in the world. This kind of ghost is unconscious, hateless, drifting like a cloud like mist, harmless to mortals, useless to monks, and useless.
The quality of the ghost is slightly higher than that of the wild ghost, this kind of ghost is after the death of human beings, the soul hatred is undiminished, and the resentment accumulates deeply, this ghost has a deep revenge in his bones, often wreaking havoc at night, frightening passers-by, and even daring to pounce on it to do evil. It is harmful to mortals, but it is beneficial to monks, and it can be sacrificed as a low-level ghost guard.
And the ghost is of higher quality than the first two ghosts, and the ghost is a ghost with **, as the name suggests.
This kind of ghost has a very heavy selfish desire before death, and after death, the selfish desire is not gone, and the soul turns into a ghost and continues to live for **. Greedy ghosts, ghosts, lustful ghosts and other ghosts, are called lust ghosts, this kind of ghosts often invade mortal dreams, to satisfy their own good, or money, or friendship, many mortal spring dreams stubborn disease is from this.
This ghost is harmful to mortals, but beneficial to monks, and can be sacrificed to medium-level or high-level ghost guards.
As for the last kind of spirit ghost, it is the rarest and rarest ghost in the world, and when the spirit ghost comes out, all the ghosts tremble!
This kind of ghost is the rarest, ghosts are also like people, some encounter good luck, inadvertently absorb the spirit of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, accumulate over time, like a person, through the spirit, can be cultivated, is for the spirit ghost.
Spirits and ghosts have spirituality, most of them will not harm mortals, and for monks, spirits and ghosts are undoubtedly a rare treasure, rare and difficult to find, after this kind of ghost sacrifice, can become the best ghost guard, is the monk's right-hand man, it can practice exercises, can be upgraded like monks, and the strength is unfathomable.
"I don't have the luxury of ghosts, if I can get lucky enough to meet a ghost, I will be satisfied. Yang Que thought about it, and didn't delay any longer, ready to continue to try his luck in front.
However, at this moment, his heart jumped violently, and he hurriedly jumped away from the spot, and where he had just stood, a black giant blade strangely sprouted from the ground, almost splitting him in two!
"Who?" Yang Que's face sank, and his heart became vigilant, but with his divine thoughts, he couldn't feel any enemies around.
Suddenly, he jumped away again, and the black blade slammed out from where he had just stood!
Yang Que frowned slightly, his heartstrings tightened, and he became more careful: "Could it be a powerful ghost?"
"Huh!", the cold light flashed, and a sharp sound of breaking the sky suddenly sounded behind him, Yang Que's face changed slightly, and he didn't have time to dodge, so he fell directly to the ground.
The black blade swept by, almost passing through his back!
Yang Que jumped up, his eyes were solemn, he looked around, his steps began to retreat, and he began to be afraid.
This elusive black blade is definitely a high-level magic weapon, and the manipulator behind it can actually restrain his breath, so that he can't detect it at all. This person is either a person who cultivates to a high level or a person who has a strange treasure, and he can't afford to provoke either.
Just as he was retreating and about to turn around and flee, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of him, and a girl in black appeared with a smile.
