Fang Yuan's life is very regular, or rather... monotonous!
Ever since he showed an IQ that was not inferior to that of an average ten-year-old child at the age of three, he had learned many more lessons every day.
From ordinary cultural classes to sports, as well as the paranormal aspects that he was most interested in, specialized teachers were hired. Even the one who taught paranormal science was his nominal father, Tantai Juexin.
"Father!"
After dinner, Fang Yuan came to the study.
The kerosene lamp shaped like an ancient lady flickered on and off, and Tantai Juexin sat behind the desk with a cold expression.
Fang Yuan shouted in a low voice without any emotion, as if he was just calling an ordinary person.
"Well! Now let's start the paranormal class! Let me repeat what I taught you yesterday!"
Tantai Juexin was accustomed to his son's indifference, so he said with a straight face, "First of all, tell me, what is a 'ghost'?"
Fang Yuan calmed down and the knowledge emerged in his mind:
"Ghosts, a kind of idealistic existence, have appeared in this world for some time... It is a phenomenon that is difficult to explain with science and is full of terror! The most important point is that no matter what kind of ghost, it cannot be eliminated by humans! We What we can do is to discover the patterns and use them to avoid danger and save lives. This is also the job of our ghost exorcists... "
While reciting, Fang Yuan was secretly surprised.
Yes, there are beings with extraordinary power in this world, and that is "ghosts"!
This kind of ghost is very different from what he remembers. It appears in the form of a spirit body and can only be observed and described as the lowest level ghost.
In fact, Fang Yuan prefers that they are a curse and a meme! It is difficult to express it completely, and even the summary of the exorcists is one-sided, because it is something that humans cannot understand at all!
All ghosts cannot be eliminated by humans, and possess all kinds of indescribable powers - to play with people's hearts, reverse consequences, kill people in dreams, and even distort time and space. When ordinary people face them, they can only have the deepest and most thorough understanding. Desperate!
When Fang Yuan first heard this, his interest in this ghost phenomenon suddenly increased.
After all, even the saints among dream masters cannot distort time, space and cause and effect. This world is really worth exploring!
However, Tantai Juexin also warned Fang Yuan very seriously that any exorcist who really encounters such a ghost that can play with time and space and distort cause and effect must stay away and must not get trapped in it, because even in the final A high-level ghost exorcist will definitely die when faced with this kind of ghost!
Yes, the Tantai family is a family of ghost exorcists that is only circulated in movies and novels and regarded as anecdotes by ordinary people!
The bloodline of this family has a special factor that makes the descendants, both male and female, have appearances and abilities that are beyond ordinary people, and some of them will awaken certain "traits"!
Or see ghosts, temporarily dispel curses, or even sense someone's remaining lifespan!
It is precisely because of this power that the Tantai family has survived several changes in the times and has mastered huge wealth.
It's a pity that such a family is burdened with an unsolvable curse!
- "All members of the Tantai family! They will definitely die a bad death! At a certain stage in their lives, they will inevitably die unexpectedly!"
Tantai Juexin's expression when he said these words was deeply engraved in Fang Yuan's consciousness.
I don’t know where this curse came from, but it spreads throughout the Tantai family’s bloodline, all members of the clan, without exception!
This is why the Tantai family rarely sees old people.
And Fang Yuan was also a "tool" created to fight against this unsolvable curse.
For his "advent" ceremony, not only a large amount of treasure was consumed, but also several clan elders died unexpectedly. The entire Tantai Old House was plagued by misfortunes one after another, and the price was heavy.
Of course, Tantai Juexin would not tell Fang Yuan about this, he could only observe it silently.
"Very good, you have almost learned the theory of exorcism..."
Tantai Juexin looked at his son across from him and felt very emotional in his heart. His learning speed was truly astonishing. He was indeed... such a being.
"Next, it's time to enter the practice stage. Follow me!"
Tantai Juexin stood up and took Fang Yuan to the ancestral temple in the back house.
This is the family's important place, and it is very eerie and scary. Even other children are not willing to play here.
After the ancestral temple, there is another area.
In the center of the area is a black lobby. The location of the Tantai family is even more important than the ancestral temple.
"This is the 'Sacrifice Hall'! It is usually maintained by several clan elders."
Tantai Juexin said lightly, but did not go in, but turned to the back.
"What kind of things are worthy of sacrifice?"
Fang Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to use his superpower to take a peek, but he felt a sense of danger and did not take action.
In the Tantai family, those who can live to old age and serve as clan elders have very powerful roles. It can be seen from this that the items enshrined in this sacrificial hall must be extraordinary!
With a little regret, Fang Yuan came to the area behind the sacrificial hall.
"This is… "
His expression moved, and he was clearly aware of the changes around him: "Spatial fusion? Is this the secret of the Tantai family's old house? It's just a part of it that is exposed, so terrifying, and this is just the tip of the iceberg!"
"And this world is too abnormal... A mere mortal can master this kind of power. Although he does not rely on himself, he has slapped many Xusheng in the face!"
The knowledge of spatial fusion is the content of domain studies. In the dream master system, only the power of the seventh-level virtual saint is qualified to access it.
But at this time, a mortal family can actually use special circumstances to do this!
"In the ghost exorcism ceremony, we need to use a lot of medicines. These medicinal materials need to be cultivated in a special environment, such as now... "
Tantai Juexin's voice was low as he looked at the rising moonlight.
Under the moonlight, a garden also emerged, but the plants in it were so weird that ordinary people would have nightmares just by looking at it!
Fang Yuan glanced at a sunflower with a human face, and in the center was a woman's face, swaying in pursuit of the moonlight.
On the ground, a severed hand crawled across, leaving a line of blood on the soil.
"This is the human face flower, as well as the severed hand grass, one of the basic materials for us to make supernatural potions..."
Tantai Juexin pushed Fang Yuan into the garden: "Your lesson today is to stay inside until dawn! I will teach you how to identify these materials tomorrow..."
“…”
Fang Yuan looked around. All kinds of weird, bloody and terrifying plants were growing wantonly, beyond the limits of human imagination.
An ordinary child would probably be frightened out of his mind here.
"No... there is obviously danger hidden in this plantation!"
Fang Yuan suddenly became excited: "He...maybe he also wants me to die here!"
Outside the garden, Tantai Juexin's palms were also trembling slightly.
He knew that behind the sacrificial hall was actually a wilderness! This plantation does not exist in the human world!
Even his mood at this time was very contradictory.
I hope that this tool that carries the hope of the family can create miracles, but I also hope that he will just die in it, which is the end of the world.
"Su Xin... She was very sad, right? So after giving birth to him, she gave him to a wet nurse to feed... She hated me and this child!"
Tantai Juexin sighed, his expression extremely complicated.
"This ghost garden is located in the netherworld. Only in this environment can those plants grow. As a result, it will occasionally attract some dangerous 'beings', so it is built behind the sacrificial hall and requires clan elders to come regularly." Pruning'... Even if no ghosts come, the ghost vines and dead man vines inside still need living people for nourishment and will automatically search for prey."
He knew very well that even an ordinary ghost exorcist might go crazy or even die if he stayed in such an environment for one night!
For a five-year-old child, even Tantai Mieming would find it difficult to complete the task.
But in the next moment, his pupils enlarged and his mouth opened in disbelief.
A strand of vines like black hair actively wrapped around the five-year-old Tantai Mieming, as if they were playing with him.
This child, standing tall in the ghost garden, seems to be the king of all!
"Heart of Nature!"
Even though his abilities were sealed as if he had encountered a powerful person from the world of inner demons, Fang Yuan's attributes and abilities were not ordinary after all, and his expertise had long been unsealed.
At this time, he is using his planting power to conquer all the plants in the ghost garden!
It's not accurate to say that he conquered them. In fact, what Fang Yuan did was just listen to the voices of these plants.
"Unlike ordinary spiritual herbs, I only heard - distortion and pain!"
Fang Yuan stroked the black hair-like dead vine in front of him, and suddenly pulled it up by the roots with both hands.
"嘤嘤!"
From the strands of black hair, a woman's cry came out, but Fang Yuan said with pity, "I'm here to help you... relieve the pain!"
He moved his fingers, as if he had hit a key point, and all the black silk vines turned into ashes, and there were a few more black pods in his hand.
"Please start teaching me identification now."
He walked out of the ghost garden and stood in front of Tantai Juexin, his expression dull again.
"This person... this person..."
A trace of horror flashed across Tantai Juexin's face, and then a little fear. He didn't even notice it, and there was a slight tremor in his voice: "This is the seed of the dead man's vine. The dead man's vine needs to drown the dead." The hair is used as nourishment. The mature body needs to eat a living person every year. Its seeds can be used..."
One night passed, and the two fathers and sons, who did not look like father and son, returned to the ancient house in front of them one after another.
"Mie Ming, you go back first!"
There, Tantai Ghost Mirror seemed to have been waiting for a long time. After sending Fang Yuan away, the vague conversation between the two came along the wind:
"It's a little too early for him to open the ghost garden at this time..."
"I have a plan, Father!"
"...Well, it seems that I underestimated his potential too much. From now on, you will be solely responsible for the training of Mie Ming. There is one more thing... Jueqing, is back!"
