I asked in confusion: "Guolu, what do you mean by 'return to the ancestors'?"
"Jubizhishi" Guolu thought for a moment and replied, "It means changing back to our master's original appearance, back to the immortal race! Didn't I just tell you that our Jubizhishi race was actually the immortal race under Emperor Fuxi in ancient times, called Jubi. Later, because Emperor Fuxi punished our race, we were thrown into the underground ghost cave. This is how our appearance and habits changed."
"If we can return to our ancestors, our appearance and habits will return to the way they were when we were immortals. Then, I won't have to live like a ghost. In fact, we in the Jubi tribe have a very low self-esteem."
"In ancient times, we have been trying to find a way to return to our ancestors, but we have never succeeded. Later, someone said that using the 'Mountain, River, State and God Map' of Emperor Huangdi Ji Xuanyuan could make our entire clan return to our ancestors and become the immortals we once were."
"When we heard the news, we, the Jubi Clan, were naturally extremely happy. But unfortunately, we didn't have the opportunity to pay homage to the Yellow Emperor Ji Xuanyuan, let alone touch the 'Mountain, River, State and Divine Map'! Therefore, the issue of atavism has always been a big knot in the hearts of us, the Jubi Clan."
"Although I am the only one left in our 'Zibi Clan', I still hope to return to my roots and become a normal immortal again. Master, can you understand my feelings?"
I could feel Guru's sadness. It was like having a home but not being able to return to it.
I nodded and replied seriously: "I can understand the sadness in your heart. If I can help you, I will do my best."
After hearing what I said, Guolu hurriedly said, "Master! You have now dripped blood on the fragments of the divine map, which means that these two fragments of the divine map have temporarily recognized you as their master. When you, the master, gather all the fragments of the divine map in the future, you will be able to control the complete 'Divine Map of Mountains, Rivers, and States'!"
"Then, Master, my wish will hopefully come true."
After saying this, Guolu stretched his neck and handed the two pieces of the divine map fragments in his mouth to me again.
Although I took the fragment of the divine map, I still felt uneasy. After all, at this moment, the "Jubizhishi" Guolu is much more powerful than me. He can devour ghosts and even control ghost energy.
It may be in a good mood now and regard me as its master. But if I provoke it, or if it is in a bad mood one day, what should I do
Could it be that at that time, I would have to make demands on it, listen to it, and let it control me
Seeing that I looked gloomy and worried, Guolu said solemnly: "Master, don't worry, I will respect your orders. Our goal is the same, which is to find all the fragments of the 'Mountain and River Divine Map'."
I stood there, still saying nothing.
I think that although what Jubizhishi said sounds good, I still cannot believe it completely. I have been deceived by ghosts before.
"Master, I know you may not believe me, but my body is almost transformed into a ghost. You can sign a soul contract with my soul. With the soul contract, we will be able to communicate with each other. If I do something bad to you, you will be able to sense it at the first time."
"Moreover, after I sign the 'Soul Contract' with you, I will choose the disadvantage. As long as you have a thought, my soul will be affected. When the time comes, my soul will be gone, and I will become a soulless walking corpse."
"Of course, Master, I will follow your instructions.
, I won't have any unreasonable thoughts. I just hope that you can find all the fragments of the 'Shanhe Sheji Shentu' as soon as possible, so that I can return to my ancestors and become a normal person again."
The "Jubizhishi" Guolu has been talked to this extent, and the goodwill that should be released has been released. If I don't express my feelings, it will seem that I am a little hypocritical.
After all, I am at a disadvantage now, and Guolu didn't threaten me. He even called me "Master".
Alas! Since I became a ghost-catching Taoist priest, I have encountered many bad things, but also many good things.
I looked at Guru and smiled, "Okay, Guru, let's do as you say. Let's sign a soul contract."
"good!"
Golu replied.
Regarding the "soul contract", there is an introduction in the Yin Yang Soul Crossing Notes. Generally, a ghost-catching Taoist priest signs a "soul contract" with a ghost. Of course, there are other forms of soul contracts, for example, a ghost-catching Taoist priest signs a soul contract with a demon, which is also possible.
There have even been cases where ghost-catching Taoist priests have signed soul contracts with the spirits inside objects.
The purpose of signing a "soul contract" is actually to bind the ghost-catching Taoist priest and the evil creature together, so that they can share good and bad fortune and experience the ups and downs together. However, a prerequisite for this soul contract is that the soul of the ghost-catching Taoist priest must occupy a dominant position.
Just like Luo Siwei and her ghost with the same fate, "Granny Ji" that I met. Granny Ji was completely under Luo Siwei's command. It can be seen that this "soul contract" is still very unfair to ghosts or other evil things.
And now, Guolu of the "Jubizhishi" clan actually agreed to sign a soul contract with me and allowed me to take a dominant position. This is enough to show that it sincerely wants to go with me to find the fragments of the divine map.
Of course, I also thought about why Guolu didn't go to find the fragments of the divine map himself. Later I figured it out. It was probably because Guolu couldn't control the divine map at all. In simple terms, its current state should be a ghost with a body.
Afterwards, I wrote the contents of the "Soul Contract" that Guru and I were going to sign on the yellow paper, and collected Guru's blood and my blood to carve the "Six Jia Seal" on the yellow paper.
This "Liujia Seal" is a certificate that can be seen in the underworld. If Guolu has no blood, I have to use his soul and my soul to interweave, dip cinnabar and carve the "Liujia Seal" on yellow paper.
But now that it has a body and blood, it won't be so troublesome.
And there are also particularities when carving the Liujia Seal, the name of the leader is on the top, and the name of the led is on the bottom. In other words, my name is on the top, and the name of "Jubizhishi" Guolu is on the bottom. Only in this way can I drive Guolu to work for me.
Soon, after finishing all these, Guolu followed me and closed his eyes, and began to chant the Six Jia Mantra: Shangqing God, Donghua Emperor, let me receive the Six Jia Heavenly Book and command the Six Jia and Six Ding gods... ... Go to the Yuanjun, be one with the Tao, harmonize the body and refine the soul, fly in the air, ascend to the sky and capture the clouds... ...
We only gave up after we recited the Liujia Mantra three times.
Later, when we opened our eyes, we saw that the yellow paper that was originally lying quietly on the ground was now suspended in the air.
Not long after, with a "puff" sound, the yellow paper along with the underworld words and the Liujia seal on it all started burning.
When the yellow paper was burned to the end, suddenly two yellow lights shot out from the ashes in the air and shot into my head and Guolu's head respectively. Suddenly, our bodies shook at the same time.
When I regained consciousness, I found that I could actually sense the
The place where the soul is.
I breathed a sigh of relief and thought to myself, I finally got it done, luckily there were no accidents!
At this time, Guolu looked at me strangely and asked, "Master, are you afraid of me?"
I quickly waved my hands and smiled, "No, no... We are now in the same boat, there is nothing to be afraid of."
"But, Master, your emotions just now fluctuated greatly, as if you were very afraid of me. But you are much better now!"
I suddenly thought that Guru and I were in tune with each other, and he could probably sense my thoughts. As long as he didn't block it, he could sense it. Even if I lied, it wouldn't work. Just now, I was indeed a little timid towards the "Jubizhishi" Guru.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Guolu smiled and asked me, "By the way, Master, my name is Guolu, not Boiler! You can't always mispronounce my name!!"
Damn it, he could sense it all.
"How could that be possible? No, your name is Guolu, so of course I know that. Hehe... From now on, we are comrades in the same trench. Don't worry, as long as I, Yang Tianyi, have something to eat, you, Boiler... Guolu, will definitely not be left out. Hehe!"
Guolu looked at me strangely but didn't say anything.
At this time, there was only a small soul left on Gulu's body, but the nightmare ghost begged me for mercy loudly.
Nightmare Ghost, please take a detour: "Master Yang, please let this monster let me go. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have listened to Chen Xiaozhi and hurt others. I was confused at that time. Please forgive me..."
"snort!"
I snorted coldly and looked coldly at the nightmare ghost stuck on Gulu's body.
I said unhappily, "Nightmare Ghost, don't play tricks on me. Even if you weren't controlled by Chen Xiaozhi, you're not a good person. Back then, it was you who ordered that ghost Gu to kill people outside Haizi Mountain, right? That ghost Gu told me everything! It killed hundreds of people and took away hundreds of souls."
"You don't know this, do you?"
Seeing the anger on my face, the Nightmare Ghost said hurriedly: "No, no, no, it's unfair, it's unfair... Master Yang, it was that ghost Gu that wronged me, otherwise you can call it out and we can confront it on the spot. It is wronging me."
I squinted my eyes, stared at the Nightmare Ghost, and sneered, "You are playing tricks again, right? Don't think I don't know that you can control the ghost Gu. Once I release it, you will have a connection with it and you will kill the ghost Gu immediately. Right, Nightmare Ghost!"
The ghost was still quibbling, "No, no, no, I won't do that, I won't..."
Guolu looked down at the soul of the nightmare ghost on his chest and said to me, "Master, since this guy is not a good ghost, let me devour him. Anyway, I just came out of the 'Soul Burial Monument' and I still need a lot of ghost energy to nourish my body. The soul of this ghost can be a good snack."
I was very surprised after hearing what "Jubizhishi" Guolu said.
I asked it, "Gulu, do you mean that you don't care about the souls of ghosts, as long as the ghost energy on them can nourish the body?"
Golu nodded.
I smiled and said, "That's great! ... So, Guolu, I will kill this nightmare ghost first to increase my good karma. When the ghost's soul is destroyed, you can devour the ghost energy emitted by its soul. For us, this is killing two birds with one stone!"
"Yes! Master, I will listen to you!"
This Guolu is really obedient.
"Hey, you don't have to be so polite, Guolu, you can just call me 'Tianyi'! ... ... I don't know how much good karma this nightmare ghost can bring me?"
