Fairy, Please Let Me Explain

  Chapter 94 Raising Ghosts (Two in One)

   Passing through the phantom formation, the luxury carriage with black dragon carvings walked along the path for about 100 meters and then stopped.

   Slowly got out of the carriage, and gradually frowned as he watched the strange scene around him.

Looking down from the sky, the huge black abyss **** all the light around it like the mouthparts of a giant beast. The thousands of ancient trees within a distance of a hundred feet are all gray and white, with twisted branches and fallen leaves. Bursts of unknown ghosts.

  Yihun probed out, and Xu Yuan could clearly feel that some unknown mutation had taken place in the surrounding Yuan Qi.

  According to the classics, if you breathe in this mutated Yuan Qi for a long time, your body will gradually turn into a ghost.

   Xu Yuan was thinking,

  Suddenly,

"Roar!"

   A deafening roar of a monster like an eagle's cry came from the sky.

  After the sound, the strange forest with all the fallen leaves was covered with shadows.

  Looking towards the sky along the twisted branches of the trees around, I saw dozens of giant birds and beasts with a wingspan of more than tens of feet flying over the mountain forest at low altitude.

  The wingspan of each is longer than Xu Changge's huge black eagle mount.

  At this moment, the sharp giant claws of these dozens of birds and monsters are all holding a huge cloth bag.

  The cloth bags were huge, even bigger than the monsters themselves, and heavy, some of the cloth bags had faint blood oozing out.

  Xu Yuan frowned slightly, and whispered:

"This is."

   "Corpse,

   "Don't look at the boy, those cloth bags are full of corpses."

  The voice of the saint's remnant soul resounded from the bottom of his heart.

  “.”

  Hearing this, Xu Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank.

  Corpse?

   And the next moment,

  The words of the saint's remnant soul turned into reality.

  Under the control of the cultivator behind it, the huge bird methodically threw the cloth bag between its claws towards the huge abyss.

  The formation above the abyss of the bag path was immediately burned, exposing countless corpses inside, but the moment these corpses appeared, they were immediately swallowed up by the ink-like black mist below.

  The next moment,

  After eating countless corpses, the strange black mist suddenly rose sharply, and continuously collided with the huge formation that was upside down above the abyss as it rose, and the burning sound resounded through the withered and silent forest around!

  A series of classics related to ghost fog appeared in Xu Yuan's mind.

  The corpse nourishes the yin, a strange fog arises after a long time of neglect, the sun cannot enter, and the fingers cannot be seen. There are ghosts crying and wolves crying in it, and no mortal will come back, and it is difficult for those who practice the Tao and those who are superficial to return.

  His father is feeding ghosts with corpses!

   "Heh" the saint's remnant soul chuckled, and reminded him from the bottom of his heart: "Boy Xu, someone is coming."

  The words fall,

  A rickety old man with a haggard face, as thin as a living corpse, suddenly appeared in this strange dry forest.

   And almost at the same time,

  A cold light flashed across the silent dry forest.

  A black sword with a gloomy air appeared on the old man's neck.

  Ran Qingmo held the hilt of the sword, staring at the old man who suddenly approached with cold eyes.

  Xu Yuan stared at the scene in front of him, his eyes narrowed.

   "It's a great master, a bit weird."

   Before Xu Yuan could ask a question, the grandfather who accompanied him had already given the answer.

  “.”

  The air is silent.

  The haggard, ugly old man glanced at Xu Yuan with his lifeless eyes, and then at Ran Qingmo who was holding a sword, his lips parted into a strange smile.

   "Hehehe"

  “.”

  The old man's laughter was like the bark of a tree, Xu Yuan inexplicably thought of the strange laugh of "Jie Jie".

  With his expression unchanged, Xu Yuan slightly cupped his hands at the old man:

   "Mr. Are you?"

  With the blade in his throat, the old man’s voice could not hear the fear, it was still as rough and hoarse as the bark of an old tree:

   "The old man dare not be the old man. The old slave is ordered by Xiangguo to guard this ghost fog. The third son can just call the old slave ghost old man."

   said,

  The haggard old man paused, then grinned again:

   "Third son, can you ask the third young lady to take the sword away."

  “.”

  Seeing that weird smile, Xu Yuan glanced sideways at Ran Qingmo.

  Ran Qingmo also glanced at Xu Yuan, and silently put away his sword.

  Xu Yuan cupped his fists to apologize for Ran Qingmo, and still chose to call the old man:

   "Old man, I offended you just now, and Qing Mo also wanted to protect my safety."

  After removing the blade, the haggard old man shook his head, and made up a salute tremblingly:

   "The old slave knows that he looks ugly, it is the old slave who has polluted the eyes of the third young lady."

   said,

  The haggard old man turned around slowly, and walked ahead to lead the way:

   "Third son, please come with the old slave. The eldest son has explained the specific matters before, and the carriage will be left here and someone will take care of it."

  The tree-lined path made up of gray and white twisted old trees was still about a hundred meters away. Xu Yuan and Ran Qingmo quietly followed behind the old man.

   All the way through, all the way silent.

  Suddenly,

  The voice of the remnant soul of the saint resounded in Xu Yuan's heart:

   "This man is loyal to your father. He has guarded this ghost mist for at least 30 years. The ghost energy enters his body. He is half human and half ghost. He is tortured all the time. He probably won't live for a few years."

  “.”

  Xu Yuan looked at the haggard figure leading the way in front of him, but didn't speak.

  The moment he saw the appearance of the old man, Yihun already felt the strange aura emanating from the other person.

  This breath is almost the same as the source of the surrounding mutations.

   Ghostly.

  Some classics have recorded this state.

  The mood is a little complicated.

   Walking out of the woods in silence, dozens of giant birds hovering in the sky are still orderly feeding various corpses under the black abyss.

   There are humans, monsters, and barbarians.

   And when Xu Yuan followed the old man out of the forest and came to the open space around the huge black abyss, a huge cloth bag was thrown down from the sky by the giant bird at just the right time.

  As the formation burned the huge cloth bag to nothing, Xu Yuan subconsciously paused after catching a glimpse of what was inside.

That is

   Living people? !

  The crowd fell into the black mist, most of these living people were warriors, even Xu Yuan saw a few cultivators during the period.

  They desperately yearned to escape outside the formation, but they had nowhere to rely on in the air and could only watch themselves fall towards the weird black mist.

  Screams, curses, and cries all merged together, and were quickly engulfed by the black mist.

   And followed by the second, the third, the fourth

  The old man in front seemed to have noticed Xu Yuan's strangeness, and looked back slowly:

   "Third Young Master, your kindness should not be left to these people."

   "." Xu Yuan raised his eyes intently.

   said,

  The haggard old man glanced at the crowd screaming and trying to escape, and a strange grin appeared on the corner of his mouth:

   "These people are death row prisoners sent from prisons in various counties and counties around Jingjiang Mansion.

"and,

   "These people have a lot of evil spirits, and they are most suitable for cultivating ghosts, hehehehehehehehehahahahaha."

  At the end of the conversation, the haggard old man seemed to be out of control, and suddenly let out a low and crazy sneer.

  The cold wind swept over the treetops, rustling.

   The pale sunlight shone on the old man's haggard face, accompanied by an ugly laughter, the surroundings were strange.

  Xu Yuan silently looked at the old man in front of him.

  【Ghost energy enters the brain, sometimes like madness】

  Yao Mo laughed for a dozen breaths, but the haggard old man's laughter stopped abruptly.

  The sinister smile on his lips was still on his lips, but his expression suddenly froze.

   Gradually, the haggard old man's smile gradually faded, his eyes drooped in silence for a few breaths, and he clasped his fists tremblingly towards Xu Yuan:

   "Old... the old slave usurped, the third son made atonement."

   "It's okay." Xu Yuan shook his head lightly.

  The haggard old man's white lips moved, he didn't speak any more, the expression in his eyes dimmed a bit, he bent forward and continued to lead Xu Yuan silently.

  The black abyss is surrounded by bare black land for 100 meters, and there are no man-made buildings at a glance.

  But soon a downward dark passage appeared in front of Xu Yuan.

  The haggard old man seemed to need to stabilize his emotions, so he walked straight down without saying a word.

   Walking into the corridor with Ran Qingmo, Xu Yuan found that there were no bright pattern lamps engraved on both sides of the corridor, but the oldest firelights were used for lighting.

   While the fire was flickering, Xu Yuan suddenly noticed that the shadows of the three were flickering.

   After staring at it for a long time, Xu Yuan asked in his heart:

   "Mr. Luo"

  The remnant soul of the saint explained indifferently:

   "Ghost fog feature.

"Many things in the ghost fog are different from the outside world. If it is not restricted by the formation, it is estimated that this place has been swallowed by the ghost fog. It is located on the edge of the ghost fog. You can understand it as "the boundary between Yin and Yang". Of course, this is just an adjective, but it is generally not the same. How much difference."

  Xu Yuan understood clearly after hearing what he said. He has read many classics about ghost fog these days.

   All the classics are secretive about the ghost fog, and the descriptions are all extremely terrifying.

  Erosion of all things, infinite spread, restricted life, man-made natural disasters, once born, life will be ruined.

   Now that I have seen it in person, I have some understanding just now.

  There is fire but no shadow, and the rules of common sense are directly changed.

   Silence continued downward, and the tunnel spiraled downward, as deep as it seemed to have no end.

   I don’t know how long I’ve been walking,

  Ran Qingmo suddenly said beside him:

"About to arrive."

  Xu Yuan immediately became alert when he heard the words. He felt that he would see something extraordinary next.

   After walking for about ten more breaths, the end of the spinning and falling corridor finally appeared in front of my eyes.

  A stone arch door with a hole in it is being wrapped in a thin layer of white light at this moment.

  The haggard old man remained silent in order to avoid losing control of his emotions. He just looked back at Xu Yuan and silently walked through the white light.

  Xu Yuan stopped in front of the light curtain and glanced at Ran Qingmo.

  Ran Qingmo blinked his eyes, and nodded at Xu Yuan, indicating that there was no danger.

   Xu Yuan guessed that this should be some kind of formation, so he also stepped over it.

  Passing over the white light film, the scene in front of you suddenly becomes brighter.

   This is a huge cave.

  The inner wall of the cave was hidden in the darkness and the bottom could not be seen at a glance, but on the ground under the feet, there were unknown gemstones that shimmered, stretching endlessly, forming some kind of intricate pattern, until the end of Xu Yuan's field of vision.

   Counting breaths after he steps in,

  Suddenly,

  The cumbersome formations light up one after another as if flowing water into a canal. After a few breaths of charging, the darkness of the entire cave is lit up by the formations, revealing its true appearance.

  On the inner rock wall of the cave are neatly arranged stone rooms, in which countless phantom-like ghosts are trapped and crashing wildly, but the inner walls of the stone rooms are also engraved with such dense and cumbersome formations that they cannot get out of the trap at all.

  Seeing the Hundred Ghosts Cave, Xu Yuan's breathing gradually trembled.

   "Boy, haven't you seen this?" The voice of the saint's remnant soul sounded slightly teasing.

  Xu Yuan stabilized his mind and shook his head slightly.

  It is almost common knowledge among ordinary people that monsters can be kept in captivity.

  The remnant soul of the sage laughed lowly when he heard the words, and his tone carried a touch of emotion about the changes in the world:

"Hehe. That's right. The last time I came out was three thousand years ago. At that time, whenever the ghost mist was born, not to mention the loss of life, it was also a restricted area. It was as difficult to exterminate. The elder brother told me about this before, and I still have Some people don't believe it, but seeing it now, this ghost mist can really be raised like a monster, hehe, it's really a prosperous humane."

  “.”

  Xu Yuan frowned and did not speak.

  He suddenly understood why Lou Ji said earlier that an accident here would affect the supply of soul-type pills in the southwestern area of ​​Great Yan.

  The medicinal materials that help the soul not only have harsh environmental requirements, but also have a long growth cycle. With a complete ripening system, the maturity of a batch of medicinal materials can range from two to three years to more than ten years.

  But after tens of thousands of years of development, the elixir that helps the soul no longer needs to be refined with materials, and all ghosts and ghosts can be refined.

  The soul power contained in the natural soul body of the ghost completely meets the needs of refining medicine. As long as the ferocious energy contained in it is extracted with special methods during the refining process, the soul pill can be made!

   Hunting demons and ghosts is not a day or two anymore

  But if you talk about captive breeding.

  Thinking to this point, Xu Yuan let out a long breath.

  The technology tree of this world is not constant for thousands of years. Under the centralized power of the dynasty, many things are rapidly evolving.

  It's just like the advancement of humans' technology of raising monsters, except that this time the humans started raising more terrifying ghosts.

  But after thinking about it, it is true,

   Vicious beasts like monsters can be bred and domesticated. Why can't the ghost's soul be kept in captivity?

  However, the technology of raising ghosts in captivity should not be perfect yet.

   Otherwise, the relevant classics would not be so tightly covered by the major forces, so that he, the third son, did not know the details.

  After thinking about it, Xu Yuan turned his eyes and asked in a low voice to Ran Qingmo beside him:

   "Ran Qingmo, do you have this in Tianyuan Sword Sect?"

  Ran Qingmo looked back, hesitating slightly, but finally nodded:

   "Yes, the master took me there before, but it was not on such a large scale."

"Ah"

  Hearing this, the remnant soul of the sage let out a chuckle in Xu Yuan's heart, and said in a low voice: "How can the latecomers compete with the newcomers?"

  Xu Yuan's eyes were fixed, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he asked in his heart;

   "Mr. Luo, what do you mean by a newcomer?"

  The remnant soul of the sage was silent for a moment, with a hint of appreciation in his words, he said with a low smile:

   "This formation to block ghosts and fog was created by the "Gewuyuan" in your Xiangguo Mansion. There are hundreds of millions of sentient beings. There is no shortage of amazing and talented people. This formation is the first of its kind."

  Gewuyuan.

  Xu Yuan silently recorded this name in his heart, and he must go shopping when he has time.

  The previous "Tianxun Crystal" and the formation of the ghost fog at this time are almost all creations that can overturn a lifetime.

   After thinking for a while, Xu Yuan suddenly asked:

   "Mr. Luo, why do you know about this?"

  The remnant soul of the saint took it for granted: "When your elder brother said earlier that he would use the demon soul and body to help me recover my soul power, I asked about it casually, and he answered."

   As he spoke, the saint's remnant soul paused, and said with a meaningful smile:

   "Your elder brother is the best in the world, and there are such amazing and talented people in Gewuyuan. I am really curious about your father, Xu Xiaozi."

  Xu Yuan was noncommittal, and replied with a smile in his heart:

   "When I return to Beijing, Mr. Luo will naturally see my father. As for now, let's follow that old Mr. Ghost to help Mr. Luo recover your soul power."

   Two in one, there will be a chapter later
