Chapter 412 - Ghost Lady(1/2)
On the eagle, there are clear distinctions. On one side are Ding Yi, Zhu Can, Ouyang Mingde and Fang Tuo. On the other side are the 'ghost lady' Xing Susu, who is known as the second best pirate, and the newcomer she picked up this time.
Xing Susu is the successor of the Ghost Way. The Ghost Way not only includes mental intimidation and terrifying mental power techniques, but also includes some magic, puppetry and other techniques.
The Netherworld Sea in the Ghost Path is actually still some distance away from the Rongding Peak in the Alchemy Path. However, the Netherworld Sea is not far from Xiaotian Ridge in the Beast Path. They only need to change trains once to return to Rongding Peak.
The ghost lady Xing Susu is fair-skinned and beautiful. The only flaw is that her facial expression is a little stiff, and she wears a white dress that makes her look a bit ghostly.
I don’t know whether it’s because of practicing the ghost path technique or for some other reason, but the people in the ghost path look a little cold, or it can be called ‘cool’.
Huang Ming, Cui Shouyi and others finally stayed at the outer gate. Ding Yi helped Hou Hongtao a lot and reciprocated the favor. Hou Hongtao also stood on Ding Yi's side and stopped these thorns in the mining area.
These people don't have the qualifications for fire spirits, so why should they go to Rongding Peak? Even Li Xuan, the head of Rongding Peak, is very fond of Ding Yi. But this time, the outer disciples recruited by Ding Yi are all cultivators with other qualifications.
Otherwise, it has brought a lot of trouble to Ding Yi's practice. Even Hou Hongtao cannot do this if he compares his feelings with his own.
Although Ding Yi repeatedly said it was okay, Hou Hongtao still insisted and let those people stay.
At the opening of the mountain gate the next day, Ding Yi singled out Fang Tuo. The rest of the newcomers were the same as yesterday, not interested in joining Rong Dingfeng, and Ding Yi was too lazy to dwell on it.
Generally speaking, there will be more people visiting the mountain gate on March 3rd and September 9th. On June 6th, when the mountain gate opens, there will not be many people to choose from.
Shopkeeper Liu and the others arranged for ten handyman disciples to be sent to Rongding Peak this time. Ding Yi asked Hou Hongtao to send them as well, and he only brought two outer disciples, Fang Tuo and Ouyang Mingde, back to Rongding Peak.
Zhu Can learned from experience this time and did not choose to ride a horse. Instead, he found Xing Susu from Ghost Road and joined a group to return to Rongding Peak.
This time, Xing Susu had disciples from the ghost path to pick up. The eagles and birds from their ghost path were big enough, and the "travel aid" given by Zhu Can was enough, so Xing Susu didn't mind giving them a ride.
Zhu Can and Xing Susu probably rarely interact with each other. Although they are both characters in the so-called pirated "Roster" and they are the top two, they both seem a little cold.
The outer disciple Xing Susu recruited this time is called Tongzhen, who is also a cold-tempered young man. Unlike Fang Tuo's lively and inquiring personality, Tongzhen rarely talks.
Fang Tuo admired Zhu Can very much and always pestered her with endless questions, while Ding Yi liked to read on the road. Ouyang Mingde took the opportunity and walked over.
Ouyang Mingde actually looks pretty good, tall and thin, with good facial features, especially his very flexible eyes. At first glance, he looks like a handsome guy. However, after getting to know him more deeply, he found that this guy is very flamboyant, talkative, and not very good-looking.
really.
"Senior Sister Xing, if it hadn't been for your help this time, we would have had to walk back to Rongding Peak." Ouyang Mingde had nothing to say.
"Senior sister, wouldn't a beautiful girl like you be afraid in the Netherworld Sea? I heard that the Netherworld Sea is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, where corpses are everywhere, and there are dead remains and skeletons everywhere..."
Xing Susu didn't say anything, just looked at him expressionlessly.
"There are rumors that you all sleep in coffins and tombs. Is this true?"
"Rumors say that the Netherworld Sea is full of dark winds and has a deep ghost aura. During the day, there are ghosts everywhere. Senior sister, what is the scariest ghost you have ever seen..."
"Get out!" Xing Susu said.
Ouyang Mingde was still begging for nothing and wanted to stay there, but Zhu Can had already called his name from the other side.
"Senior Sister Xing, it's very pleasant to talk to you, but you know that men are sometimes too good, and there's nothing you can do about it. Senior Sister Zhu doesn't want me to leave at all, alas!" Ouyang Mingde said boastfully, and quickly left Xing Susu's side.
Ding Yi has the talent of an ear and can hear their words clearly. This is really a living treasure.
Ding Yi didn't know much about this ghost realm, but he still admired Xing Susu, a beautiful woman who was more rational than emotional.
Xing Susu noticed that Ding Yi was looking at her, and she waved to Ding Yi.
Ding Yi walked over. This eagle was huge, its back alone was about forty meters long.
"Senior Sister Xing, hello." Ding Yi gave a half-curl to Xing Susu.
Xing Susu nodded in response to Ding Yi's courtesy.
"Your cultivation is probably not yet at the spiritual level. You have become a true disciple of Rong Dingfeng at such a young age. It seems that your qualifications are extraordinary. Why do you stay with her?" Xing Susu pursed her lips.
Ding Yi knew that she was referring to Zhu Can, and he said
: "Senior Sister Zhu's sword was cut off by someone. I helped her recast it and repaired it. That's why I got to know Senior Sister Zhu."
Xing Susu said: "I didn't expect you to be able to make swords. Zhu Can's Love Sword is a spiritual weapon, and ordinary swordsmiths can't repair it. It's really surprising that you can repair it. It seems that I still underestimated you. That
My child, is he the outer disciple you selected this time? If I guessed correctly, he should have no fire spirit root or wood spirit root. Junior brother, if you recruit him into the sect, aren't you afraid of being blamed by your mountain master?"
Ding Yi said: "His name is Fang Tuo, and he has earth spirit qualifications. Of the outer disciples I contacted this time, he was the only one willing to talk to me about Rong Ding Peak. The others were all uninterested. I never like forcing people, so I chose him.
As for the mountain owner, it’s easy to say.”
Ding Yi was half truthful and half perfunctory.
Xing Susu nodded and stopped talking.
Ding Yi took the opportunity to ask her about corpse puppets.
Xing Susu was a little surprised, because Ding Yi's question was very professional, and it could be seen that this was not just hearsay, he had obviously done some research on corpse puppets.
"Junior Brother Xu, I didn't expect that you have a wide range of interests and have a deep understanding of our ghost practice. Do you want me to give you a corpse puppet boy to help you hold a fan and make elixirs?"
Ding Yi said seriously: "The deceased is the most important person, and I still can't accept the desecration of the body of the deceased. Thank you, senior sister, for your kindness."
"You are just a coward, afraid of death!" The young man named Tongzhen suddenly interjected.
After Tongzhen said this, she looked contemptuous and stopped talking to Ding Yi.
Ding Yi touched his nose and said to Tong Zhen: "Actually, I am more afraid of the living than the dead."
Xing Susu said: "Junior brother, these words contain philosophy, but at such a young age, how do you understand what life and death are?"
Xing Susu practices the "Book of Life and Death" from Ghost Dao. She herself has no understanding of life and death. How could she believe that Ding Yi knows more about life and death than she does?
Ding Yi did not argue with Xing Susu. Everyone has a different view of life and death and looks at things from different angles. This argument is meaningless.
It's just that he didn't want to argue, but someone couldn't help himself and got involved in the argument.
"Do you think you know a lot about life and death just because you deal with corpses all day long?" Zhu Can said with a sneer, slowly walking over to this side.
Xu Hui is a person recognized by Zhu Can. He has extraordinary knowledge and great supernatural powers. She has never met a monk of the same generation who is more knowledgeable than Ding Yi. Xing Susu's attitude when speaking, and the sense of superiority of an elite disciple
, making Zhu Can very unconvinced.
Xing Susu glanced at Zhu Can and said: "Senior Sister Zhu, don't think that just because you killed a few blind mortals and low-level cultivators, you can talk about the road of life and death. You must know that this is my profession."
Zhu Can said: "Junior Sister Xing, if you practice the "Book of Life and Death", you will definitely understand life and death better than everyone here? I have practiced the "Sword Code" for many years, and even now, I dare not say that I understand swords very well. Why do you,
Can you conclude that Xu Hui is not as understanding as you?"
Only then did Xing Susu realize that Zhu Can was standing up for Xu Hui. She and Zhu Can were both elite disciples of Tiandao Sect. Although they belonged to different circles, they had brief contact every year.
Zhu Can was famous in Tiandaomen for being fiercely competitive and not giving in to women. Xing Susu did not want to have a meaningless argument with her. In her opinion, there was something wrong with Zhu Can's brain, so she was not willing to argue with her.
"Senior Sister Zhu is right. It's a mistake for Junior Sister to make a mistake this time." Xing Susu said.
The young boy beside her, Tongzhen, interrupted at this time: "A coward is a coward. He has no ability and can only move others."
Fang Tuo, who was behind Zhu Can, said: "Senior Brother Xu is not a coward. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will slap your ears."
Tongzhen sneered and said: "It's just you? Go aside and play in the mud! I can easily deal with you with my hands and feet."
Fang Tuo was furious and wanted to fight Tongzhen.
Ding Yi grabbed him.
"Senior Sister Xing, Junior Brother Tong, we are able to ride on the eagle flying to the Netherworld Sea this time, which is a huge favor from you. We are all disciples of Tiandao Sect. There is no need to fight for this leisure and make unpleasant noises.
Senior Sister Zhu, Fang Tuo, let’s go back.”
Zhu Can was still a little aggrieved, but Ding Yi had already turned around and left, obviously unwilling to quarrel with Xing Susu. She had always admired Ding Yi, so she had no choice but to leave after seeing this.
"Coward!" Tongzhen continued to curse behind her.
Zhu Can could no longer control himself at this moment, turned around and raised his hand to fire out a sword energy.
At the same time, Xing Susu raised her hand and threw out a bone whip, blocking the sword energy.
"Senior Sister Zhu, if you want to take action, just come to me. To launch a sneak attack on this young junior brother who has just started, this is not
The demeanor that an elite disciple of yours should have." Xing Susu said sarcastically.
Zhu Can was furious and was about to use her Luoying sword technique.
"If you take action again, we will part ways. From now on, don't come to Rongding Peak to find me again!" Ding Yi said this lightly without looking back.
Zhu Can's whole body seemed to have turned to stone. After a long while, she left in despair.
Xing Susu originally had a serious expression, but she knew very well what kind of personality Zhu Can was. Although she had no intention of fighting Zhu Can, since Zhu Can launched an attack, she had no choice but to face it calmly.
Due to Zhu Can's fiery temper, except for the few core disciples of Tiandao Sect who were able to suppress her steadily, the other elite disciples and inner disciples all regarded Zhu Can as a snake, scorpion and beast.
I didn't expect that this female Rakshasa would listen to her like that. Just one sentence from the little alchemist from Rongding Peak made the female devil change her mind. This was really unexpected.
Ding Yi returned to the place where he originally rested and sat cross-legged. After a while, Zhu Can sat across from him angrily.
"Facing a young man who is so many levels below you, your approach is really too rash. You cannot control your emotions and become your own master. If you want to go further, it will be even more difficult. Senior sister, I just said this yesterday
I praised you, but I didn’t expect that you would be back to your old ways today, which is not good.” Ding Yi said earnestly.
"I can bear it when they say that you are a coward, but that kid says that you are a coward. I really can't help it." Zhu Can was furious.
"What does it matter? Every Taoist tradition has its own pride. Senior Sister Xing believes that her understanding of life and death exceeds ours. Maybe this is true. Although I have read many classics, in this regard,
I really dare not say that I will definitely be better than Senior Sister Xing. Senior Sister, Xu Huiming is deeply touched by your love and care for Xu Hui. Just because of this matter, there is no need to argue with Senior Sister Xing."
Fang Tuo interrupted at this time: "Brother, why don't you let me punch that dead man in the face?"
