Uncle Sun's condition has basically stabilized.
The Blood-Supplementing Pill continued to replenish his consumed blood and energy, and his pale cheeks became a little rosy. However, because he had many wounds on his body, he was still relatively weak.
I heard from the evil ghost Zhang Junzi that if you want to use the tracking stone to find someone, you must first use the "body hair" of a direct relative as a sacrifice. The so-called body hair refers to the body hair on a person.
So I used a knife to cut off a few strands of Uncle Sun's hair.
Uncle Sun didn't have much hair to begin with, and after it was cut off, his entire head looked like a bald chicken, which looked even uglier.
The human-skin ghost hanging on the side said with a smile: "Little brother, your barbering skills are really poor."
I shrank my neck helplessly: "I have never learned how to cut hair, and this is already my best attempt."
The human-skin ghost was amused by me and laughed so hard that he fell backwards.
I curled my lips and asked seriously, "How is it? Did the evil old man have any strange reaction?"
The human-skin ghost stopped smiling and said, "Not yet, he's quite honest. His soul is still in the west room and hasn't moved. Brother, are you worrying too much?"
I said, "I'm just being safe."
Soon, I sat cross-legged on the ground and began to regulate my body, practicing the "Spirit Absorption Chapter" to absorb the "spirit" in the air.
I have done a lot of good deeds myself, and the energy of good deeds will replenish itself.
It turns out that the Qi of Yin De was not absorbed from the air, but appeared on my body on its own. This is incredible.
The west room was always very quiet, and the evil ghost Zhang Junzi did not make any unusual movements.
Time passes slowly.
I sat cross-legged on the ground, and after absorbing the "spirit", I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it was before I felt a bit of cold energy, as if a cold wind was blowing on my face.
I was startled and opened my eyes quickly, just in time to see the human-skin ghost Su Congxue blowing towards my face, our eyes met, and her sexy lips almost touched the corner of my mouth.
But she is a ghost, not a human, and the negative energy she exhales makes me very uncomfortable.
I raised my eyebrows and asked angrily, "What are you doing?"
The human-skin ghost was startled by my sudden awakening, and quickly flew one meter to the side with a red face.
"Hey, little brother, don't be angry. I just think you smell good, I just want to smell it."
The human-skin ghost blinked his eyes at me and spoke innocently.
I said unhappily, "In the future, don't get so close to me. Although I promised to tell you the location of the space channel, I didn't say that I would take you away from the City of the Dead. If you make me angry, you will suffer."
After hearing what I said, an unhappy expression appeared on the human-skin ghost's face.
Her lips moved, and she was mumbling something. It was probably not good.
"What are you mumbling about?!" I asked angrily.
The human-skin ghost Su Congxue Ghost immediately put on a smile on his face and said happily: "Hey, little brother, don't be angry, I didn't say anything bad about you. Look at your eyes, they are full of evil, but they scared people."
Damn, this human-skin ghost is really a "fatal disaster".
I was too lazy to pay attention to her and looked at the time on my watch. It was almost midnight.
"How's that old man Zhang?" I asked the human-skin ghost.
The human-skin ghost Su Congxue said, "Mr. Zhang is still in the west room, he hasn't moved."
"Um!"
I nodded and stood up from the ground.
At this time, Uncle Sun, who was lying on the bamboo bed, suddenly started coughing.
"Ahem...
Uncle Sun slowly opened his eyes, but because of the pain from the wound, the flesh on his face was trembling and he looked in pain.
"Uncle, how are you?" I walked over and asked worriedly.
Uncle Sun looked at me, his Adam's apple trembling, his purple lips, and he said in a dry voice: "Tianyi, I'm thirsty."
I quickly took out some water from my cloth bag, unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle, and fed Uncle Sun some water, one cap at a time.
After drinking the water, Uncle Sun felt a little better.
He asked me, "Tianyi, where is this place? I remember that I was in the place with the three-eyed monkeys. Then, they tied me up and stuck something in my body... I bled a lot. Then, I seemed to see you."
It seems that Uncle Sun's consciousness is still a little fuzzy due to excessive blood loss.
I briefly told Uncle Sun what had happened before.
After hearing what I said, Uncle Sun asked me with some surprise: "Is it true? Is there really a way to find my father?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, there is a way, but I don't know if it will work."
I took out a few strands of hair in my hand and showed them to Uncle Sun.
Uncle Sun touched his bald head and thought that he was looking for his father Jiang Jiuzhen, so he didn't say anything. But when I cut off his hair, he still showed some dissatisfaction on his face.
I chuckled twice and didn't say much.
It was soon midnight.
I took the human-skin ghost out of the east room of the bamboo house and entered the west room.
In the west room, the soul of the evil ghost Zhang Junzi shrank into a jar.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the soul of the evil ghost Zhang Junzi turned into black gas and drilled out of the jar.
"Master Yang, you are here."
I nodded and asked the evil ghost Zhang Junzi: "How is it? The time has come. Can we start the sacrifice you mentioned? I have prepared everything."
The strands of hair appeared in my palm.
The evil ghost Zhang Junzi nodded and said, "Okay!"
Soon after the sound fell, the bluish-red stone placed in the middle of the west room began to emit a bright light.
The blue and red lights appeared clearly on the stone and were in contact with each other, but the light they released was very bright.
As the green and red lights flashed, the ghost patterns on it began to fluctuate continuously.
Soon, a mirror-like object appeared on the smooth stone. At the same time, a lot of ghost energy emanated from the tracking stone.
I found that kind of ghost aura was actually a little colder than the ghost aura of ordinary ghosts.
“It’s time to start!”
The evil ghost Zhang Junzi said this, and then took the strand of hair from Uncle Sun from my hand.
The hair was caught in the hands of the evil ghost Zhang Junzi, and was affected by the ghost energy in his body, becoming curly.
Grabbing his hair, Zhang Junzi's soul slowly floated to the front of the stone.
Gently placing the strand of hair on the stone, the evil ghost Zhang Junzi's ghost hand was imprinted on the stone. He muttered a string of ghost curses.
As the ghost curse was chanted, more ghost energy flew out from the tracking stone.
The runes on the stone also began to wriggle continuously, like living black bugs.
The bluish-red light formed a light film that enveloped the tracking stone and the evil ghost Zhang Junzi's ghost hand.
Then, the mirror-like stone seemed to become soft, and Uncle Sun's hair seemed to have life, and began to drill into the stone one by one.
Soon, all the hairs were embedded in the stone.
Inside the head, it disappeared.
I frowned slightly, not knowing what was going on.
The ghost curse from the evil ghost Zhang Junzi's mouth is still accelerating.
"Tianyi, Tianyi... I seem to sense it! I seem to sense the presence of my father. It's the heart, the beating of the heart..."
Uncle Sun's voice came from the east room.
I hurriedly left the west room and went to the east room.
"Uncle Sun, what did you say?"
I asked anxiously.
Uncle Sun explained with a look of joy: "I seem to feel it, a very familiar feeling, it's my father's heartbeat, I feel it. It's like there are two hearts beating together in my chest. Really, really..."
I was also a little happy.
I told Uncle Sun, “It’s the tracking stone that worked.”
Almost at the same time, in a cave on a small hill dozens of kilometers away from the bamboo hut, an old man who was sitting cross-legged in meditation began to beat wildly with his heart.
The old man had a very white face and silver hair, but his eyebrows and beard were very dark. His body looked very straight, giving people a very strong feeling.
The old man suddenly opened his eyes, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Then he placed his right hand on his knee and began to calculate.
Not far away, a strong ghost aura floated close to the old man.
A deep voice came from the ghost energy: "Jiu Zhen, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the 'Spiritual Absorption Technique' I taught you?"
That old man is Jiang Jiuzhen.
Jiang Jiuzhen quickly stood up and saluted the ghost in the ghostly aura, saying, "Grandmaster, it's not that my practice is wrong, but I sensed the existence of blood. I think it must be my son or granddaughter who entered the City of the Dead."
"What? Your son and granddaughter? ... How could this happen?"
The ghost in the black cloud looked very surprised.
Jiang Jiuzhen hurriedly said, "No, no, no, Grandmaster, it's not two people, it's one person. But, whether it's my son Yaowen or my granddaughter Xiaoli, I don't know. I think they came here to find me. After all, I have been missing for several years."
The ghost in the black air was silent for a while, then asked again: "Can you sense the specific location of the child?"
Jiang Jiuzhen shook his head, a helpless expression appeared on his face, and said: "Grandmaster, the rules in this City of the Dead are different from those in the living world, you also know this. I, your disciple, am of low level, so I can't perceive it."
When saying this, Jiang Jiuzhen's face was filled with anxiety.
However, the ghost in the black air seemed very calm. He asked back, "Didn't you calculate it just now? Then, is the child okay?"
Jiang Jiuzhen shook his head and said, "It's okay. He's fine. But it seems like he's looking for me."
The ghost in the black air was silent for a while, and then he spoke again: "In this case, you can rest assured for the time being. Perhaps they will come here soon. Now the situation outside is very tense. If you don't master the 'Spirit Collection Technique', you can't control the 'Nine Sun Divine Palm', and you are no match for that ghost fairy. Therefore, it is better for you not to leave here for the time being."
"Just be at ease and practice hard. I'll arrange for ghosts to keep an eye on the movements outside. If anything happens to your relatives, I'll rush over in time. Don't worry, he'll be fine."
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Grandmaster. I understand!"
Jiang Jiuzhen bowed respectfully to the ghost in the ghostly aura. Then, he sat back in his previous position and began to practice with his eyes closed.
A pair of eyes slowly emerged from the ghostly aura, their pupils glowed red, staring into the distance.
