The night was deep.
Taoist Wild Dog, who had already entered the gate of hell but was pulled back by luck, had all the wounds on his body bandaged. Seeing that he still looked weak, but lying on the ground, his breathing was weak but calm, and there was no danger of his life for the time being.
And Xiaohuan, who saved the wild dog Taoist, is also unconscious at the moment, but she is just exhausted, and there is no serious problem. The other two people who are awake understand this in their hearts, and they are not too worried.
For Zhou Yixian, what he is concerned about at the moment, or what he is on guard against, is the mysterious man who just rescued Xiaohuan. At this moment, he has recognized this mysterious man in black. He is no stranger to him. He has seen it not long ago, that is, in Heyang City at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, the mysterious man in the Yizhuang. He did not expect to meet him again today. this person.
Zhou Yixian sat next to his granddaughter Xiaohuan, his eyes drifted to the black figure standing with his hands behind his back from time to time. From his perspective of experience, he naturally knew that this person's practice in ghost way, an unorthodox art, was not trivial, but that day he seemed to be an enemy rather than a friend, so he didn't expect the man in black to rescue Xiaohuan today. The last time we met, luckily Gui Li helped, and Zhou Yixian and the three escaped just now. In this situation, although the man in black came for unknown reasons, the lives of the three on his side were really in his hands.
Zhou Yixian thought to himself here, the man in black, that is, Mr. Ghost who secretly followed Gui Li south all the way, stood aside seemingly confidently, but he didn't know that he was also quite hesitant in his heart. This attempt to save people is really against his usual style, but the ghost art he practiced has always been a strange and vicious sorcery in the eyes of the world. Other than that, it is unique. However, according to the secular world, even the Demon Cult, which has always had a very bad reputation, actually looks down on the ghost way. For many years, people in the ghost way have almost continued quietly in the dark. , is an outlier, and there are other reasons.
It is precisely because of this that although the mysterious ghost way has continued to this day, the population is extremely thin, and no one can tell when the incense will be cut off. Thinking about it, it's true that for normal people, I'm afraid that not many people would think of practicing this kind of weird magic that deals with the gloomy world all day long.
Mr. Ghost has practiced for many years, and his Taoism is so high that he is a first-class figure in the whole world. Among the ghosts, no one can match him. He has always been hard-hearted, and this is also the result of practicing ghostly thaumaturgy. Unexpectedly, this night, at a young age, he suddenly saw Xiaohuan perform the extremely high and profound soul-absorbing thaumaturgy in the ghostly way. On the one hand, I was shocked that Xiaohuan, a young and beautiful woman, seemed to have an unbelievably high talent in the lineage of ghosts; Secret method, but it has been lost for many years, even he, the great master and expert of ghosts and strange arts, doesn't know about it, but Xiaohuan actually used it, how can he not be shocked
When Xiaohuan forcibly collected souls, although Mr. Ghost did not know the thaumaturgy of soul collection, he was so accomplished in the ghost way, and his own vision was even more unique. At a glance, he could see that although Xiaohuan was very talented, he was too forceful after all. Sure enough, in just a short while, although Xiaohuan was unexpectedly able to capture the soul of the wild dog Taoist among countless ghosts, he had already angered countless ghosts and was backlashed by ghosts. When he was about to die, for some reason, Mr. Gui couldn't sit idly by and finally came to rescue him.
Although he doesn't know the soul-absorbing thaumaturgy, it is more than enough to deal with these ordinary ghosts. Once he makes a move, he immediately urges the magic circle to protect Xiaohuan, and let Xiaohuan's soul-absorbing thaumaturgy complete. However, after the incident, he hesitated a little, not knowing what to do next.
The atmosphere in the arena was so embarrassing for a while, until after a long time, Xiaohuan moved her body, finally woke up, and called softly: "Grandpa." Then she opened her eyes.
Zhou Yixian was overjoyed and quickly helped Xiaohuan up. Xiaohuan's face was exhausted and her body was weak, but she didn't seem to be seriously injured. After she collected herself, she immediately turned her head to look at Taoist Wild Dog. She saw Wild Dog lying on the ground. Although it was seriously injured, it was breathing calmly. It was obvious that it was serious. After coming back to life, Xiaohuan smiled.
She looked back, only to find that there was a man in black around her, she couldn't help being startled for a moment, and then she recognized it, this person was vaguely the mysterious man in black who was in Heyang City that day, she couldn't help shrinking, Surprised: "Grandpa, him, why is he here?"
Zhou Yixian supported Xiaohuan to stand up, and said in a low voice: "I don't know why he came here suddenly, but just now when you cast a spell at a critical moment, he was the one who rescued you, which saved you and the wild dogs from danger. "
When Xiaohuan heard what Zhou Xian said, she immediately remembered that she cast spells until the last moment, after all, she was not enough in practice and was backlashed by ghosts, and when she was about to end up in a heart-eating fate, the formation in her hand suddenly became powerful. Driving away all the ghosts around him is such a powerful method, and it seems that they were all saved by the mysterious man in black.
Thinking of this, Xiaohuan slowly nodded to Mr. Gui, and said, "Thank you, senior."
Mr. Gui seemed to turn a blind eye to Xiaohuan's thanks, but suddenly asked coldly: "Little girl, I have a few things to ask you, I hope you can answer me truthfully."
Xiaohuan was startled, and at the same time felt that Zhou Xian's hand supporting her was gently tugging at her, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Senior, if you have anything to say, just ask!"
Mr. Ghost nodded, and said, "The techniques of the ghost way have always been kept secret. Where did you practice this kind of ghost way technique?"
Xiaohuan was stunned for a moment, then said: "Ghost way, what kind of ghost way?"
Zhou Yixian secretly sighed behind him, but the Mr. Ghost in front was taken aback, but seeing the surprised look on Xiaohuan's face, it didn't seem fake, she really didn't know that this was a so-called ghost technique.
After a moment of silence, Mr. Ghost said: "The soul-absorbing technique you just performed is actually the most profound magic technique in the ghost way, don't you know?"
Xiaohuan shook her head in a daze, and said, "I, I don't know!"
Mr. Ghost immediately asked: "Then from whom did you practice this soul-absorbing technique?"
Xiaohuan shook her head and said, "No one taught me."
Mr. Ghost was taken aback, only to hear Xiaohuan continue: "This soul-absorbing technique was mischievous when I was a child. I was playing around in my grandfather's old house. I stumbled and fell into a dry well. I found these techniques recorded on the wall of the well. I At that time, I was still young, and I learned it randomly, and I only used it once in all these years. Why, senior, are you very interested in this spell?"
Mr. Ghost was silent, but after a long time, he let out a long sigh, his voice was quite desolate, but it was a sense of desolation.
Xiaohuan and Zhou Yixian looked at each other, not knowing why the man in black suddenly became depressed.
After a while, Mr. Ghost suddenly called out in a hoarse voice: "Little girl, what's your name?"
Zhou Yixian frowned, Xiaohuan had already answered, "My name is Xiaohuan."
Mr. Ghost nodded and said, "I have something to say to you alone, can you come over?"
Zhou Yixian frowned, obviously he didn't want Xiaohuan to stay with this ghostly guy.
But Xiaohuan didn't think so much, thinking that this person saved her life just now, she nodded and said: "Okay!" After finishing speaking, she walked over regardless of Zhou Xian's secret obstruction.
Mr. Ghost watched Xiaohuan walk up to him, nodded slowly, and seemed to admire the young woman quite a bit, when Xiaohuan approached, he slowly, as if he was thinking carefully about something when he spoke, said in a low voice : "Are you willing to practice this ghost spell?"
Xiaohuan was stunned, unable to speak for a while, but seeing Mr. Ghost's eyes sparkling behind the black veil, it was obvious that he was not joking, so he hesitated.
What kind of experience Mr. Ghost has, carefully looking at Xiaohuan's face, he guessed her thoughts, and didn't force her immediately, just said: "When you cast the spell just now, facing countless ghosts, how did you feel in your heart?"
Xiaohuan blushed, then turned pale again, and said in a low voice, "I, I'm a little scared."
Mr. Ghost said indifferently: "It's not shameful for you to be afraid. People in the world are ignorant and afraid of ghost spirits, but they don't know the theory of ghosts. It's just a kind of thing after death. What people fear is mostly their own hearts. It's just a demon."
He pointed at Xiaohuan and said: "Take you as an example, when you cast the spell just now, you were afraid. Although you can still cast the spell, there must be countless phantoms in front of you, all kinds of ferocious scenes, right?"
Xiaohuan nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes."
Mr. Ghost snorted, and said: "Actually, the most important thing in the so-called ghost way is to control the demons in your heart. If you stay calm, all ghosts and spirits will not be able to move your mind. And if you think about it carefully, the reason why those ghosts get angry and retaliate is because you can see It's very hateful and violent, but they don't know that they are like countless people in this world, once they see a chance to escape alive and return to Yangshou, how can they not be crazy about it?"
He put his hands behind his back and said with a sneer: "People in the world accuse ghosts of being fierce, but they don't know that they are the same, isn't it ridiculous?"
Xiao Huan nodded thoughtfully.
Mr. Ghost said again: "I know what you think, and I hate the reputation of ghosts, but you just used ghosts to save the life of that wild dog. It can be seen that ghosts are not useless. I am watching you today. Along the way, there are extraordinary talents that are hard to see in a hundred years. I really can’t bear to miss them, so I want to teach you.” He smiled lightly and said: “As for the future, you will find out how evil I am and want to kill me. It doesn't matter. We ghosts, we don't understand these vulgar rituals."
Xiaohuan was startled and took a step back.
Mr. Gui was silent for a moment, then looked at Xiaohuan's face again, only to see that Xiaohuan's face was very hesitant, frowning from time to time in his delicate face. Mr. Ghost didn't say much, he reached out and took out a half-finger-thick black book with a letterless cover and threw it to Xiaohuan. Xiaohuan subconsciously caught it and looked at him in amazement.
Mr. Ghost said indifferently: "What is recorded in this book is some comprehensions of my half-life practice in the ghost way. Among them, there are many methods of refining weapons. I am confident that there is no one in the world who can compare them. It doesn't matter if you learn it or not. , It’s all up to you.” After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
Looking at his back, Xiaohuan subconsciously called out, "Senior, wait."
Mr. Ghost paused, stopped, and said, "What?"
Xiaohuan was suffocated for a while, and said for a while: "I, I don't know your name, senior?"
Mr. Ghost turned his back to his body and remained motionless. After a long time, he said calmly: "I didn't teach you the spells, but I didn't want you to remember me. You can do it yourself!"
After finishing speaking, he got up and wanted to move forward, Xiaohuan's expression became anxious, and suddenly he said loudly: "This, this... you saved my life and taught me Taoism, I must, must call you Master, right?"
Mr. Ghost's body trembled violently, as if the words of the young and handsome woman behind him were more intense to him than the five thunderbolts. It's just that he practiced very deeply after all, so he quickly regained his composure, and turned around slowly, with his face covered by a black veil, no one could see his face, but from his shining eyes, anyone could see It was obvious that he was in an unusual mood at the moment.
"You call me Master?"
Xiaohuan blushed, and felt a little embarrassed, nana said: "This... this is what I thought of, if, if you don't want to, senior, I..."
Mr. Ghost suddenly cut him off: "Okay, don't talk about it."
Xiaohuan was startled, looked up, and saw Mr. Ghost took a deep look at Xiaohuan, nodded, reached out to his bosom again to take some things, handed them to Xiaohuan, and said: "Seeing that you called me I'll give this to you as soon as I say it's a master's reward!"
Xiaohuan looked down, and saw a stack of seven dark triangular pieces, each about an inch and a half in size, with smooth edges and no visible material, like iron but not iron. Xiaohuan hesitated for a moment, looked at Mr. Ghost, saw that his eyes were rather relaxed, and reached out to take it. If you look carefully, you can see that these triangular pieces have a small hole at the top, and a dark red silk rope is tied together in the hole. On each triangular piece, there are different dark red mysterious patterns on the front and back, some are like burning flames, some are like roaring beasts, they are all different. Received in the hand, only feel the tentacles are icy cold, and at the same time implies a faint bloody aura.
Zhou Yixian behind him has sharp eyes, and at a glance, he can see that these triangular pieces are exactly what Mr. Ghost used to save Xiaohuan just now.
Mr. Ghost said lightly: "This thing is called 'Blood Jade Bone Piece', and it is the most precious treasure in the ghost way. It has the miraculous effect of inspiring the ghost way. It can reach the seventh level, and if the talent is better, it can even stimulate the tenth level."
Surprised and delighted, Xiaohuan nodded repeatedly, but Zhou Yixian shook his head in the distance.
Mr. Gui stared at Xiaohuan for a long time, then shook his head suddenly and sighed, and said in a low voice: "I counted you and I as tonight, but we have only met twice, unexpectedly... Forget it, it must be fate! In the future, you will succeed in cultivation, if there is a chance, If so..." He looked up at the sky and said, "Please help me save someone!"
Xiaohuan was startled, and said, "Save someone, who is it?"
Mr. Ghost shook his head silently, smiled wryly, and said, "Let's talk about it in the future."
As he said that, he suddenly turned around, as if he didn't want to stay any longer, the black figure shot out instantly like a ghost, and disappeared in the shadow of the dense forest in a blink of an eye. Xiaohuan couldn't make a call in time, and the black figure disappeared as soon as she opened her mouth. For some reason, the man in black actually gave her a faint and friendly feeling, Xiaohuan sighed, and tightly held the string of blood jade bones in her palm.
Next to him, Zhou Yixian snorted, walked up, took the blood jade bone piece in Xiaohuan's hand, looked carefully, turned it over side by side, Xiaohuan was a little puzzled, and said, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Zhou Yixian sneered and said, "Your good master, do you know what this thing is made of?"
Xiaohuan was startled, and said, "What is it?"
Zhou Yixian said: "This ghost is refined from the skull fragments of the most yin people, and I don't know how many souls of strangers have been added to it to have such effects."
Xiaohuan was stunned for a moment, took a look at it, but couldn't tell that it was a human bone, but more like jade, so she couldn't help but give Zhou Yixian a blank look, and said: "Grandpa, is it true! How does this look like bone?" Human bones?"
Zhou Yixian was furious immediately, and said: "You found that ghost-like guy as your master, so you don't believe me?"
Xiaohuan stuck out her tongue, put the blood jade bone piece into her arms, and said with a smile: "Okay, grandpa, anyway, in the future, I will only use this thing to do good things and not do bad things, isn't that all right?"
Zhou Yixian snorted, turned around and walked away, and said to himself, "It's no wonder I believe you."
Xiaohuan smiled, charming and infinite, and followed.
