Chapter 9: Silence and Annihilation
"Senior, do you still need to pay for the purchase of a piece of Gathering Spirit Essence for Silent Annihilation?" Ximen Mingyue exclaimed, the two Gathering Spirit Essence and two hundred high-grade Gathering Spirit Stones on his body had been spent, and the remaining middle-grade Gathering Spirit Stones and low-grade Gathering Spirit Stones were estimated to be unworthy of the old ghost.
"Of course, the purchase of the Soul Gathering Spirit of Annihilation is not for me, but for the general you went to find. The Vientiane Ghost Saint then replied.
"Where am I going, who am I looking for?" Ximen Mingyue continued to ask.
"The Soul Fountain of the Ghost Realm is in the Holy Spirit Mountain, and the ghost in charge of guarding it will be the Dragon Charm Blood Soul General. You need to go to the Holy Spirit Mountain to find the Dragon Charm Blood Soul General, and this jade slip contains a map to the Holy Spirit Mountain. Saying that, a piece of jade slip flew out of the body of the Vientiane Ghost Sage, Ximen Mingyue caught it, and a spiritual power was injected into the jade slip, and instantly a map appeared in the jade slip, which was clearly marked with the Holy Spirit Mountain, and marked the route to the Holy Spirit Mountain.
"If you go directly to the Dragon Charm Blood Soul General, I'm afraid he won't see you. So I'll give you another piece of jade slip, and there is a message from me on it. You don't want to read the information in the jade slip, because the information in it can only be read once, and if you read it, you won't be able to complete the transaction, remember!"
"Also, even if you have the Silent Annihilation Qi, you have to make a Silent Annihilation Lamp in place of the soul, and I will pass on a method to you. After the Vientiane Ghost Saint finished speaking, he turned around, and the dark gray Xuanyin rune seal flashed densely in his hand, flying towards the top of Ximen Mingyue's head.
Ximen Mingyue's heart fluttered, he just came to trade, he couldn't fully believe in the old ghost of Vientiane Ghost Saint, the cultivation realm was in danger everywhere, if he believed others so easily, he would have died a thousand times a long time ago. Even if they are husbands and wives who share the same bed, there are wives who collude with their husbands to murder their husbands, and there are also wives who plot against their husbands after they are taken away. Even if they are brothers, they can't be fully trusted, in case they are taken away, it may be a plot!
A defensive vitality shield appeared above Ximen Mingyue's head, causing the Xuanyin rune seal issued by the Vientiane Ghost Saint to rotate in the vitality layer. And he kept exploring those flowing talismans with his spiritual sense, until he noticed safety, he absorbed it into the sea of consciousness, and suddenly comprehended that mysterious method.
"I'll pass on this recipe to you, you made money on today's business, what do you think? Okay, that's it, you can leave. The ghost spun around and suddenly vanished.
"Thank you seniors for your advice!" Ximen Mingyue bowed to the air, and then turned around, and a black cloak appeared in its original position bulgingly, with its head and feet hidden inside. Then, the black cloak flew out of the eerie hill.
......
The ethereal Holy Spirit Mountain, in front of the camp of the Dragon Charm Blood Soul General.
"Brother Bing, please inform the Dragon Charm Blood Soul General, I am a friend recommended by the predecessor of the Vientiane Ghost Saint, and I have his jade slip message. The black cloak said to the ghost soldiers on duty at night.
The ghost soldier on duty at night tilted his head to the side, looking like he was ignoring it.
"Please let me know. "The black cloak is holding a medium-grade spirit gathering stone in the back and stuffing it for the ghost soldiers.
The ghost soldier glanced at it obliquely, with a look of disdain on his face, and said, "A medium-grade spirit gathering stone wants to send me away, brother, you are too stingy." β
Ximen Mingyue stretched out his hand and took out three medium-grade spirit stones in his arms and handed them over, and the ghost soldier took it and pointed to the sky with his finger.
Ximen Mingyue knew that the ghost soldier pointed to the sky to mean that he wanted to gather high-grade spirit stones, but where did he still have high-grade spirit stones!
There was a burst of anger in his heart, and a fierce and gloomy soul-devouring aura erupted from Ximen Mingyue's body.
The ghost soldier was taken aback suddenly, shivering, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He knew that the ghost cultivator in front of him could let his soul fly away in an instant, and hurriedly said: "Senior, wait a minute, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, so the little one will report it." β
After the ghost soldier finished speaking, he ran into the camp with a rolling belt.
"The master recommended by the predecessors of the Vientiane Ghost Saint should go out of the camp to greet him. With a loud voice, a tall ghost figure draped in a battle robe swayed out.
Walking to the camp gate, the Dragon Charm Blood Soul lowered his head and said, "Hmm, are you the friend recommended by the predecessor of the Vientiane Ghost Saint?"
"It's the poor road, the predecessors of the Vientiane Ghost Saint have a message from Jade Jane, and the general please take a look. Ximen Mingyue said, and a piece of jade slip flew out of the black cloak.
The dragon charm blood soul lowered its body, caught it with his hand, his eyes burst with spiritual light, and suddenly a voice came out of the jade slip.
"You are a ghost, a hermit in the ghost world!" said the dragon ghost blood soul in surprise as he listened.
After listening to the words in the jade slip, the dragon charm blood soul said: "It turns out that you are here to do business, this general likes to do business the most, did you bring a piece of spirit gathering spirit?"
The black cloak flew out of a piece of spirit gathering spirit, and the dragon charm blood soul reached out and copied it, took it in his hand, pinched and pinched, looked and looked, grinned and laughed loudly: "Haha, it's really a good product, you come with me." β
After the dragon charm blood soul finished speaking, he flew towards the dark outline of the mountain.
A tall and burly ghost figure and a black cloak, one after the other, entered the depths of the Holy Spirit Mountain.
In a col full of spiritual power, the dragon ghost blood soul stopped first, and Ximen Mingyue also stopped with doubts.
"This is the entrance to the Soul Spring, and only the guardians of the past generations who have understood the magic can enter. After speaking, the magic technique in the Dragon Charm Blood Soul body was triggered, and a cloud of pitch-black smoke enveloped himself and Ximen Mingyue.
Ximen Mingyue only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he couldn't even expand his spiritual sense, and the strange black fog could actually isolate his spiritual sense.
After about dozens of breaths of unbearable time, the dark smoke finally dispersed, Ximen Mingyue opened his eyes to adapt to the light, only to see a vast space full of spiritual energy appeared in front of him, and a round yin moon the size of a sea bowl hung obliquely in the sky, sprinkling the light of cold and pure yin to the earth.
On the ground is a pool of lakes of different sizes, the big ones are dozens of miles in radius, and the small ones are also in a square radius, and the surface of the lake is bubbling with spring water, and there is steam rising up.
The whole space is filled with white steam, the smoke is ethereal, there is not a trace of sound, it is very quiet and mysterious.
"So many lakes, so many springs!Which one is the Soul Spring?" Ximen Mingyue was puzzled and asked.
"Lao Tzu didn't say that there is only one Soul Spring, every spring here is a Soul Spring!" "The Dragon Charm Blood Soul's tone was a little dissatisfied, as if the question was too naΓ―ve.
Ximen Mingyue spread out her spiritual sense, and found that countless souls in each lake floated up, flying in the direction of the same distorted light.
Flying close to where the light distorted, all souls were sucked into the vortex in the middle along the arc trajectory. All the souls that were sucked into the whirlpool suddenly disappeared, and the spiritual sense could no longer catch them, as if they had been transferred to another dimension by some mysterious force.
"Hey, there's a spatial vortex there, where have all the souls gone!" Ximen Mingyue sighed.
"Why do you ask so much! Knowing too much won't do you any good. Don't get too close to that whirlpool, or you won't blame me if you're dead. The Dragon Charm Blood Soul snorted coldly.
Ximen Mingyue felt bored, she was here to take the silence and annihilation, and asked so much, why did she ask so much, this is a forbidden place in the netherworld.
Since ancient times, there have been many legends about the Soul Spring, and one of them is widely spread.
In ancient times, Buddhism and Taoism all declared the Soul Spring to be a holy place, and the two major sects fought for control for a long time, and even the ancient Buddha and the Taoist Zun fell a lot. Later, the high-level of Buddhism and Taoism did not know what agreement was reached, and jointly appointed a holy monarch who was also a Buddha and a Taoist to sit here, and since then Buddhism and Taoism have reached a tacit agreement to put aside disputes and jointly manage, and the dispute has gradually subsided.
It is rumored that the power of this saint is penetrating to the heavens and the earth, and the name of the Buddha and the Buddha has also become synonymous with reconciliation and tolerance.
With complicated feelings, Ximen Mingyue faintly found a faint holy light on the back of a hill in a circular lake.
Bypassing the lakes and mounds, Simon Mingyue came to the mountain wall that radiated holy light. A figure of a height is embedded in the stone wall, as if it is not a stone carving. The immortal's face was peaceful, but he was not angry and arrogant, holding his Taoist bun, but the Buddha's light loomed above his head, holding the dust in his right hand and holding the bowl in his left hand, and his clothes were even more strange, with an orange robe on the left and a gray robe with a yin and yang pattern on the right.
Ximen Mingyue had no doubt that this was the legendary Buddha Dao Holy Monarch, and there was a divine overriding power representing the Heavenly Dao.
Ximen Mingyue hurriedly put on makeup and respectfully stepped forward to pay homage for a long time.
With reverence in his heart, Ximen Mingyue rose in the wind and flew slowly, his eyes and spiritual sense paying attention at the same time, looking for the pale green smoke.
The dragon charm blood soul also flew up and followed behind Ximen Mingyue.
Ximen Mingyue searched for a long time, and the lake was full of white steam, where there was a shadow of pale green smoke.
"The moon is full and the moon is full, hanging in the middle of the sky. Suddenly, Ximen Mingyue remembered what the Vientiane Ghost Venerable said.
The daily time of the netherworld is twice that of the human world, and the lunar moon is not visible during the day, and the lunar moon hangs in the sky at night, and the yin qi is thicker, which is suitable for the cultivation of ghosts.
Look at the position of the lunar moon, the lunar moon hangs obliquely, at this time it should be equivalent to the time of the world, as long as you wait for another hour, it is the child time, the middle of the child time, is the time when the moon hangs in the middle of the sky, Ximen Mingyue secretly said in his heart
The absolute lunar moon is in the middle of the sky, and that is only for a moment. What kind of time period is considered to be the moon hanging in the sky, if the time is too short, there will not be much silence and annihilation, Ximen Mingyue nervously calculated.
"Haha, don't look for it, if you want the moon to hang, there will be a moment of annihilation!" The dragon ghost blood soul shouted loudly, obviously he had always known, and there was a hint of banter in his tone at this time.
Ximen Mingyue had a question in her heart, so she asked, "May I ask the general, when the moon hangs in the middle of the sky, how long will it last to have silence and annihilation?"
"Well, sometimes it's long, sometimes it's short, sometimes it may just disappear in a snap of a finger, sometimes it may last for half an hour, not necessarily. As for the pattern of the length of time, I don't know much about this, and I rarely pay attention to this, I'm a rough person. The Dragon Charm Blood Soul said indifferently.
Speaking of which, it is still necessary to try luck, if the time is too short, I am afraid it will be difficult to obtain the Annihilation Qi of Annihilation.
Everything was so silent, Ximen Mingyue looked up at the sky like this, waiting for the yin moon to hang in the middle of the sky, and at the same time, the spiritual consciousness on his body spread, paying close attention to the movement of a large space.
"I have to warn you, you see, there is a high probability of annihilation in those springs. The dragon ghost blood soul pointed at the side.
Ximen Mingyue glanced at the Dragon Charm Blood Soul gratefully, remembering the directions he was pointing to.
The lunar moon is tilting towards the middle of the sky little by little, and the bright moon of Ximen is hanging little by little.
Suddenly, the spiritual sense caught a cloud of pale green smoke rising, and Ximen Mingyue hurriedly flew forward, but the pale green smoke was blown away by the wind he raised.
Pale green smoke, silence annihilation, it should be silence annihilation, it will come out soon, Ximen Mingyue's heart is very nervous.
'Boo...... Bobo's Ximen Mingyue's spiritual sense caught clouds of pale green smoke, rising irregularly from various springs.
Ximen Mingyue flew up and down, very busy, but everywhere he went, the silence and annihilation had been blown away by the wind that swayed in his flight.
The Dragon Charm Blood Soul stared coldly, with an unpredictable expression on its face.
'Boo...... More and more annihilation qi came out of the lake, and even some of the qi eyes were bubbling continuously.
The annihilation of the annihilation that had not had time to spread formed pale green air masses in the corners of the lake.
'Huh...... Ximen Mingyue's body is agile, but the wind brought by the movement of the body is enough to blow away the silence and annihilation, and as a result, nothing can be found.
Every time I accidentally approached that soul whirlpool, there was a terrifying feeling that the three souls and seven spirits were about to be torn away from the body, and Ximen Mingyue was very frightened, trying to keep a distance and not daring to approach.
"A good quality Annihilation Qi is near the Soul Vortex! If you can't get anything today, you'll have to pay a new Yuan Spirit Spirit next time. The dragon charm blood soul was talking cool words on the side.
The annihilation qi would stop coming out at any time, and Ximen Mingyue was worried.
With enough lessons, Ximen Mingyue waved his hand a few zhang away, and shot out a network of Xuanyin light, enveloping the clouds of annihilation and annihilation.
Then the annihilation qi is stored in a light ball with a layer of light on the surface to prevent air leakage, and then the light ball is stored in a jade box.
Ximen Mingyue's method is good, and he quickly took one cloud after another of annihilation and annihilation qi and preserved it.
"Enough, enough, you just spent a piece of Gathering Spirit!" "The Dragon Demon Blood Spirit jumped to his feet and roared, as if he had made a big deal at a loss.
