This Black Wind City is the closest town to Qimei Town. There were not many living people here. Unless they were looking for special fairy materials or had special purposes, ordinary people would not dare to approach such a dangerous place. Therefore, after the five of them disappeared, all the corpses went to one place. Even the murderous corpse, whose legs had been chopped off but still had both hands, crawled forward with his hands.
The eldest grandson Zijun and his party followed behind the corpse group to see where they were going.
Lu Ziyao walked in the front, while Gongsun Di followed behind. The others followed the corpse, only he stared at the eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen, for fear that the two would do something unfavorable to the brothers. The eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen didn't bother to care about him, and just followed the murderous corpse.
It didn't take long for them to find the target of the corpse group.
There is a large courtyard in the south of Black Wind City. The walls of the courtyard have been torn down by corpses. The ground is full of broken bricks and tiles. A steady stream of murderous corpses are walking into the courtyard.
Lu Ziyao said: "There are living people inside!" They all felt the breath of living people in the yard.
Everyone rushed into the courtyard.
I saw a group of murderous corpses climbing up a room in the yard. Ferocious corpses have no spiritual power, and they can't fly with swords. If they want to get on the roof, they can only climb the wall with their hands and feet. On the roof stood a middle-aged man and a boy of about ten years old. The man brandished his sword, drove away the corpse, and shouted, "Get out! Get out of here!"
And the young man was not afraid at all, looking at the group of corpses excitedly, as if he saw something very interesting. He was still young and had no weapons in his hand, but he was also involved in the battle. I saw that he waved his thin arms and kept pushing down the corpses that had climbed up. It stayed in a bunch and rolled into a pile on the ground.
The young man giggled as he looked at the tragic state of the corpses.
Both the man and the child were alive, and the murderous corpses were obviously aimed at them.
The man kept driving away the murderous corpse, and he swept the murderous corpse down with his sword as soon as it climbed onto the roof, making it difficult to get close to them for a while. Because the young man was young and weak, although he was also helping, he might have limited help after all. A corpse climbed up from his side. He didn't care about it, he just pushed the corpse in front of him, so that The murderous corpse that slipped through the net stumbled towards the man's back, and the man was so devastated that he didn't realize the crisis behind him at all.
"Be careful!" Lu Ziyao hurriedly reminded him when he saw this scene when he rushed in.
The man subconsciously glanced back and saw the corpse's white-boned hand digging towards the back of his heart. He was so frightened that his feet slipped and he almost rolled off the roof.
This big and small situation is extremely dangerous, and they have been surrounded by corpses. Not only were many corpses already crawling around them, but a large group of corpses had gathered at the base of the walls. The corpses that couldn't climb up the roof thumped the walls furiously. The house was on the verge of collapse, and it was about to collapse. Once the house collapsed, the man and the boy fell from the roof and were immediately swallowed up by the corpses!
Almost in the blink of an eye, with a bang, the wall under the roof was really smashed by the corpses!
The eldest grandson Zijun and Lu Ziyao shot at the same time, Lu Ziyao flew up and hugged the boy, the eldest grandson Zijun flew out with his sword, caught the man, and brought the father and son back with one sword and one sword.
Yi Xichen quickly took out two more hidden Qi charms and stuck them on the foreheads of the man and the boy. Just when he touched the boy, he suddenly whimpered strangely.
It stands to reason that after the hidden qi talisman hides their breath, the corpse should stop attacking, but the corpse turned around and still rushed towards them!
Lu Ziyao quickly drew his sword and protected the young man behind him. Gongsun Di also stood up his sword and recited the sword art silently, intending to protect their group.
Yi Xichen said: "Don't fight, just leave here and talk about it!" Although the murderous corpse posed no threat to them, these corpses couldn't be chopped down, which was really troublesome.
Everyone accepted the move, grabbed the father and son, jumped on the sword and flew out of the city.
The corpses couldn't fly and ran after them on the ground. However, how could some corpses keep up with the speed of their swordsmanship, and they were soon left far behind.
The young man is really a new born calf and is not afraid of tigers, as if he did not understand what a dangerous scene he had experienced just now. He kept looking back at the group of corpses below. Not only was he not frightened by the bloody and terrifying corpses below, but he kept expressing novel emotions. : "Look, Dad, that man only has one leg, but he's still dancing. Why is he so persistent?"
"Dad, is that person's face blood or tears?"
"They're about to catch up to us. They look so pathetic. Where are we going?"
The middle-aged man's face was ugly, and he reprimanded in a low voice, "Song Yuan, shut up!"
The boy named Song Yuan was not even afraid of corpses, so how could he be afraid of his father's reprimand, obviously the corpses behind him were almost out of sight, and he stretched his neck and tried to look at it: "Dad, you said that my brother would Not among those people?"
The eldest grandson Zijun and others took them all the way, listening to their strange conversation, but never interrupted.
Everyone flew out of the city and finally landed in a black forest. Within a radius of a hundred miles from Qimei Town, there are ghosts everywhere. The trees in this forest are all withered, old and blackened, with no leaves or fruits, and they have died for hundreds of thousands of years. The wind swirls in the black forest, through the bare branches, making unpleasant noises, like crying and laughing.
Lu Ziyao put Song Yuan down, and looked up and down with his shoulders with concern: "Child, are you injured?"
The eldest grandson Zijun asked Song Yuan coldly, "You made a ghost contract?"
Song Yuan looked at him with big innocent eyes.
Song Yuan's father panicked when he heard the words "Guiqi", and pulled the child to his side to protect him: "Who are you?"
Not only the eldest grandson Zijun, but all of them could see that there was something odd about this young man, Song Yuan. The biggest difference between a living person and a ghost is that the living person has a complete soul, while a ghost has no living soul, and other souls may also be incomplete. This young man obviously has a soul, but there is a ghost in him. It is impossible for a living person to cultivate the way of ghosts, so there is only one possibility - this young man has formed a ghost contract!
To form a ghost contract is to exchange power with the ghost with one's own soul. Therefore, this young man in front of him, although the soul is still there, the other souls are incomplete, and the seven emotions and six desires are also a few less. The eldest grandson Zijun and the others don't know which souls he lost and which souls remained, but what is certain is that Song Yuan lost "fear".
Yi Xichen said: "Why do you want to make a ghost contract? Why are the corpses chasing and killing you? This fellow Taoist, I think you should tell us who you are first, right?"
Song Yuan's father looked at them vigilantly, his eyes could not be called friendly. Forming a ghost contract cannot be said to be heinous, but exchanging power with one's own soul is not the right way. Most people who can form a ghost contract are not righteous. But now it is such a small child who has made a ghost contract, which is inevitably softening.
Song Yuan was hidden behind his father, and suddenly said: "Dad, you are injured." He raised his hand and pressed the wound on his father's back, "Does it hurt?"
The man shivered suddenly and cried out in pain. His cultivation base is low, and he was caught with a big wound on his back when the corpses were fighting, and he has been enduring it.
Lu Ziyao hurriedly stepped forward to perform surgery for him, and said kindly, "Friend Daoist, we are disciples of Tianjianmen, and we found that there were murderous corpses in chaos here, so we came to slay demons and eliminate demons. If Daoist friend encounters something If it is difficult, please tell us, and we will do our best to help. Young Master Ling... "He hesitated for a while, not knowing what to say.
Although forming a ghost contract can obtain powerful power, this power cannot be maintained for long. It can be as long as a few years or as short as a few days. When the power is exhausted, people should also run out of oil. If these contracts can be concluded, they can also be resolved. But even if the ghost deed on Song Yuan's body is released, the soul that he has lost will not be found, and his life will not be long, and he can only live for a few more years.
Lu Ziyao's expression became sad at the thought of such a small child.
Gongsun Di couldn't help rolling his eyes behind him: "Senior Brother Lu, it's not those ghost cultivators who lost their souls to me, it's you! You should have a limit when doing good deeds, do you know who they are? I just thought Help them? They will form a ghost contract, what kind of good people can't be!"
Xiao Kui also sarcastically said, "Senior Brother Lu has always been a bodhisattva, and he likes to protect the weak. How did he enter the Tianjianmen and shaved his head to become a Buddha?"
Song Yuan looked at them with a smile, as if he could not hear the unkindness in their words. Seeing that under Lu Ziyao's treatment, his father's wounds gradually healed, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Big brother, you are amazing."
Lu Ziyao looked at the innocent smiling face of the young man, and his heart became more and more sour.
Yi Xichen stepped forward, squatted down in front of Song Yuan, looked into his eyes, and asked solemnly, "Did you make the ghost contract voluntarily?"
Song Yuan also became serious: "Yes, big brother."
"Why do this?"
A person who can acquire temporary power at the cost of his life, not to mention the goodness and evil of his xinxing, must have a very strong obsession, and this obsession is better than his life. For example, there are enemies that cannot be beaten and revenge that must be avenged. This is the most common reason for people who form a ghost contract. However, Song Yuancai is only at this age, when he should be the most cheerful and happy, how can he have an obsession that surpasses his life and must do it
Song Yuan tilted his head and thought for a while, then said blankly, "Why? Song Yuan doesn't understand..."
Yi Xichen was stunned. Did this child lose some of his memory when he lost his soul, and also forgot his obsession? ! This is also too ridiculous, paying the soul, shortening the lifespan, and finally getting a powerful power, but forgetting why I need this power...
The eldest grandson Zijun suddenly said, "Who is his brother?"
When they got rid of the corpse just now, Song Yuan once said, would my brother be among those people
Song Yuan's father pulled Song Yuan back, held him in his arms, and sighed: "His brother is dead. The reason why this child formed a ghost contract is because he thought he could see his brother again. Alas!"
