Chapter 74: The Third World Chasing the Soul
"Did you have a nightmare?"
Shang Ye stood on the stairs and poked his head into the attic.
Liu Bai was wrapped in a quilt, hugging her knees, and huddled in the corner.
"No." Her tone was a little cold.
"Do you often have nightmares, or did they just start recently?"
"you are annoying?"
Liu Bai shook his face at him, then buried his face in his knees.
Shang Ye thought for a while, left for a while, and when he came back, he placed a cup of hot tea next to her bed.
"Go to bed early, we have to go on a journey..."
After he finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave when Miss Liu suddenly said weakly: "I dreamed about my mother..."
Shang Ye frowned and asked, "What else did you dream about?"
"I can't remember clearly, there seem to be many people... I fell asleep."
Miss Liu lay down and pulled the quilt over her head, which was regarded as expelling the guest.
However, Shang Ye did not leave. Instead, he went up to the attic and sat next to Liu Bai's bed. When the girl found out, she poked her head out of the quilt and looked at him very warily, "You, what are you going to do?"
"Listen, I don't care if you believe me or not. Someone is hunting you. This is an undeniable fact. These are extraordinary times. Any strange things are worth noting. Dreams are a reflection of reality, a node where many causes and effects converge, and even many
The medium of magic."
"If you dream of something weird, you must tell me, it may be related to our lives."
This is not alarmist. There are so many spells related to dreams that Lingji Palace even set up a hall for this type of spells. It is the Shifang Palace that manages the dreams of the ten directions.
Seeing that Shang Ye was speaking seriously, Liu Bai pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "I really wanted to...I also dreamed about some men in black robes and a lantern."
"Lantern? What kind of lantern!" Shang Ye's face changed.
"I can't remember clearly, it seems to be a red lantern."
"It's broken!" Shang Ye stood up immediately, but the attic was low, so he hit the back of his head. After noticing the movement, the golden-armored puppet sitting quietly in the living room slowly moved its head upward.
Shang Ye covered his head, closed his eyes, and recalled the past while feeling the pain.
He once heard a story from a player friend.
That person was a Yin Yang Dao player. At that time, he received a mission to clean up the family. There was an NPC monk in his family who escaped into the evil path and committed unprovoked killings.
On the way to hunt down this person, they met another evil cultivator. Originally, the two sides naturally wanted to take action, but the evil cultivator proposed to join forces to pursue him. The reason was that among the people killed by the possessed righteous cultivator, there were his descendants in the world.
…
There is no coexistence between good and evil. The NPC monks of Yin and Yang Dao naturally disagree, but the players participating in the mission do not think so. This is a help sent to their door. Moreover, they have been hunting for a long time, but there is still no result. The possessed person has been in many places.
Many more crimes were committed.
Therefore, those players who were good at negotiation took action and finally convinced the elders of the division, and the two parties temporarily joined forces.
After that, the evil cultivator took out a magic weapon - a bronze lantern glowing with red light. He said this thing is called "Three Generations of Soul Chasing Guide". He only needs to put the skulls of the possessed person's immediate family members, preferably the parents, into the lantern.
When approaching a certain range of the possessed person, the skull will rotate to point in the direction of that person...
The sinister act of digging someone's grave is naturally not shameful to the righteous.
But the evil cultivator didn't just suggest it, he had already implemented it... When he took out the skull, the two parties almost broke out into conflict again. In the end, the players talked their tongues out and were able to continue to cooperate.
Later, they found the possessed man. He was powerful but still in a semi-crazy state. The party that rounded up paid a heavy price before killing him on the spot.
The evil cultivator was also seriously injured, but after completing his revenge, he used a secret technique and escaped.
It is said that people who are hunted by this magical weapon will hear the calls of their loved ones and even see blood-red lanterns when they are in a trance. This is also part of the reason why the possessed person finally went crazy.
Liu Bai drank tea and after listening to Shang Ye's general description, he said with some disbelief: "You are saying that the people who are chasing me may be using these lanterns, but that doesn't mean that they..."
"Um."
Shang Ye nodded solemnly and said: "They dug up the graves of your family. The Huangquan disciples are all inhumane people. They have done all the most unscrupulous things. Don't... be too concerned about it."
Liu Bai put down the teacup and smiled reluctantly.
"My father often said that their Yin Nong lineage refers to the dignitaries during their lifetimes and never cares about what happened after their death. They also often ask their family members not to put even a piece of pottery in the tomb or coffin after his death. This will make those who come later angry to death.
People... At this time, my mother would say that she would not be buried with him in the future. She also wanted to have a quiet life after her death and did not want to disturb others. My father would laugh and say, that is not possible, marry the chicken and follow the chicken..."
Miss Liu's voice became smaller and smaller. These words may not have been meant for others, but she was trapped in memories for a while and couldn't extricate herself.
Shang Ye listened silently and noticed that her fists were tightly clenched.
This girl is definitely not as calm as she appears on the surface. Although she has been in the world for a long time, in the final analysis, she is just a little girl without her parents.
Now that she is a hero in Liang Shang, maybe it is because of her nature, or maybe it is just the result of worldly affairs.
When she fell silent, Shang Ye said, "Get ready and drive on the road overnight."
It was expected that Huang Quan's disciples would chase them, but I didn't expect them to use such a mysterious magical weapon.
Shang Ye was walking on the stairs when he suddenly thought of something and said, "Do you have anything else to tell me?"
The dazed girl blinked her eyes and looked guiltily at the small window of the attic.
"No."
"Really? My big brother downstairs has very fast legs and feet..."
"..."
The girl raised her hand and scratched her hair, then looked at Shang Ye fiercely with her head in the messy chicken coop, and said: "The monkey tricks and thieves during the day are all my people."
Sure enough...
Shang Ye sighed. He didn't realize it at the time, but he realized something was wrong later.
There are no coincidences in the world, they are all arranged. He has a big cat thief with him, and he can encounter gangs of thieves when he goes out. He also raises monsters. Monsters are not wild beasts, they are not encountered casually, and they are performing arts.
They are all in the streets and alleys. It is rare to see people setting up a scene on the roadside in crowded places like this...
"Are they still around?"
"Um……"
Shang Ye thought for a while and said seriously: "In the Huangquan Sect's affairs, the elders take the lead in important plans and tasks, and ordinary matters are handled by one or more Huangquan envoys."
"You are involved in the exact location of the Laoshan Underground Palace. This matter is of vital importance, but considering your low cultivation level, don't get me wrong. It's not that I look down on you, but that your force is not threatening to them. Therefore, those who are hunting us
Among people, in addition to ordinary disciples of Huangquan, there may be an elder, or there may be just a few messengers of Huangquan."
"Their elders are all in the Golden Core realm, while the envoys are in the late stage of foundation building. Even ordinary disciples who can come out to perform tasks are all ruthless characters in the late stage of Qi refining who are good at killing."
"Think carefully about whether your friends in the world can handle things of this level, and don't harm them."
When Liu Bai heard that this was a golden elixir and a master of foundation building, he immediately felt a pain in his head.
In the world of martial arts, even in the realm of spiritual cultivation, even monks in the middle and late stages of Qi refining are still great masters who can walk sideways.
Listening to Miss Liu now, why do you think that such a great master, in that bullshit Huangquan Sect, is just like the leeks in the vegetable garden, growing in patches...
"Then I can't just entrust my life and property to you like this..."
Liu Bai couldn't help but defended, but felt that this statement was a bit strange, and quickly added: "We are not relatives, but after all, who are you? You suddenly appeared, and you are still mysterious."
Shang Ye looked at Liu Bai and understood that this was what she was thinking. No one in her position would be able to trust others easily. It was good that she could take the initiative to speak out now instead of continuing to make excuses with him.
"I told you before that the Huangquan Sect once committed a heinous murder in a village in Tianbei, and I was the only survivor in that village."
After Shang Ye finished speaking, he went downstairs to prepare for departure, leaving Liu Bai with a thoughtful look on his face...
Under the bright moonlight, the two hit the road again.
On the other side, on the official road of Heyin County.
The man in black robes with gold trim bowed towards a carriage wrapped in black cloth and said: "Elder from the underworld, there is some movement in the soul lamp. I think that person hasn't gone far yet."
"Chase."
A gloomy voice came from the carriage.
