"Hunting is not allowed in the "Shadow Ghost Forest", especially foundation-level monsters. Didn't Taixiong tell you?" the mysterious man in black robe said in a deep voice.
"Who are you?" The other party actually knew Tuoba Yan, and Liu Yu couldn't help but frown.
"Xuan Ting can't be rude!" At this moment, a figure flew from the forest. It was Taixiong Taoist Tuoba Yan, and he stopped directly next to the black-robed man with a hurried expression.
"It's all Junior Brother's fault. Junior Brother Xuanting has only arrived at the guard station not long ago. Junior Brother has not yet arrived and is in a hurry to tell the sect's ban and secrets related to the Ghost Forest. This is not a misunderstanding!" Tuoba Yan hehe
He smiled and said slightly embarrassed.
"I haven't come to meet you, Uncle Feng Yi!" Tuoba Yan said immediately when he saw Liu Yu's confused face.
"Xuan Ting pays homage to Master!" Although he didn't know what the situation was and how this black-robed ghost cultivator could be from the sect, after seeing Tuoba Yan's urging look, Liu Yu still stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
.
"Yeah!" The man in black robe snorted dissatisfied.
"There are some things that I wanted to tell you some time later, but unexpectedly there was almost a misunderstanding. Senior Brother Feng Yi happened to be here, so I will tell you now." Tuoba Yan hurriedly took over the words and said.
"This "Shadow Ghost Forest" is a forbidden area shared by our sect and the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley sects. All idlers are strictly prohibited from entering the forest, including the disciples of the Guard. No one is allowed to enter the depths of the ghost forest without the sect's order."
"The sect has set up a guard station next to the ghost forest. In addition to guarding against monsters and ghosts in the forest, which may come out of the forest to harm people, another duty is to prevent casual cultivators or other sect disciples from sneaking into the ghost forest to hunt and collect medicine."<
/p>
"This forest is the private land of two sects. The land is closed for forest cultivation. The mineral veins, elixirs, and even monsters of all levels in the forest are owned by the sects. Every ten years, the two sects will jointly send disciples to pick the old medicinal materials in the forest.
."
"So, even if my nephew is a deacon of our sect's guard, he cannot pick medicinal materials or hunt monsters in the forest at will." Tuoba Yan slowly explained.
"Why didn't you say something to your uncle before you entered the ghost forest?" Tuoba Yan said, and couldn't help complaining.
"Uncle Master, this disciple just wants to take spiritual beasts into the forest to look for food, and doesn't know the rules of the forest." Liu Yu pointed to the jade snake coiled aside and explained with an excuse.
No one had told him this. Who would have thought that hunting was prohibited here, and he couldn't help but feel depressed. He was afraid that relying on the forest to eat the forest would not work.
"Forget it, it's my fault that I didn't tell you earlier. This spiritual snake has been well raised by my nephew. I guess he put in a lot of effort." Tuoba Yan glanced at the snake coiled aside. It was three feet long and had snake scales like jade.
, the jade snake with vivid eyes couldn’t help but nodded.
Then he changed his voice, looked at Taoist Feng Yi, and said after discussion: "Brother, look, Senior Nephew Xuanting is the deacon of the guard house. He is busy on weekdays and has no time to take care of this snake. This snake is full of vitality and blood and has been raised to five years old."
The potential is not small. Can we let this snake go into the forest to find food by itself on weekdays, so that our nephew Xuanting doesn’t have to worry about the snake’s food?”
"It's okay to put them into the forest to look for food, but you can't hunt foundation-level monsters like today." Seeing Tuobayan speaking for help, Taoist Feng Yi couldn't help but refuse.
"It's natural, Xuan Ting can't thank you enough for Senior Brother Feng Yi!" Tuoba Yan said with a smile.
"Thank you, Uncle Feng Yi!" Bai Niang has always had a big appetite. This move can meet Bai Niang's daily rations and save a lot of spiritual stones. Liu Yu hurriedly thanked her.
"Now that you're here, follow me to Yaocun to know the way. Don't know anything else!" After finishing speaking, Taoist Feng Yi drifted towards the depths of the ghost forest.
"Medicine Village?" Liu Yu couldn't help but be confused after hearing this, what kind of place is this?.
"Don't be stunned, follow quickly!" Tuoba Yan saw Liu Yu stunned on the spot and immediately urged him.
Afterwards, Liu Yu took the Jade Chi Snake back into the spirit beast bag and used his body skills to follow.
…
Soon, Liu Yu followed the two of them to an open space deep in the ghost forest. A large medicinal field appeared in front of them. The medicinal field was filled with half-human tall spirit plants with blood-red flowers. The blood-red petals on the branches were so delicate and beautiful.
At a glance, the entire medicinal field looks like a lake of blood, and the air is filled with the intoxicating fragrance of flowers.
"Greetings to Uncle Feng Yi! Uncle Tai Xiong!" A black shadow came forward over the medicine field, and it was another ghost cultivator. His soul was covered in a loose black robe, like a headless ghost. Like this black shadow
There are still many ghosts in robes hovering over the entire medicinal field, and there are as many as twenty of them at a rough estimate.
"Back off!" Taoist Feng Yi waved his hand, and then led Tuoba Yan and Liu Yufei to a strange village in the middle of the medicine field. The village was not big, with only dozens of dilapidated wooden houses and no one in sight. It was like a long-abandoned village.
Deserted Village.
What's even weirder is that these dozens of wooden houses are all built next to a huge sinkhole. From the mouth of the sinkhole, visible black mist pours out all the time, which is the extremely pure "primary Yin erosion gas".
The entrance of the cave is so deep that you can't even see the bottom, and you don't know where it leads. The dark wind rises, making your hair stand on end.
"The poor Taoist will go back to the cave first. Junior brother, please tell him about the situation here." After finishing speaking, Taoist Feng Yi jumped down and floated into the pit filled with black mist, and soon disappeared in the cave.
In the endless darkness of the tunnel.
"Uncle Master, what is this?" Liu Yu was already full of questions.
"This village is called Yaokeng Village. The surrounding areas are planted with the fifth-level elixir "blood-containing fruit". It blooms in fifty years and bears fruit in fifty years. It is a rare Yin spiritual material and is the source of several high-level elixirs.
The auxiliary materials not only need to be grown in a place rich in yin energy, but also need to be regularly watered with essence and blood to produce fruit."
"These black-robed disciples who guard the medicine fields here were all disciples of the sect during their lifetime. Due to various reasons, they gave up their physical bodies and changed to practice the ghost path. They hid here to practice and also helped take care of the medicine fields."
"At the same time, he also serves as the ghost forest guard, monitoring the movements in the forest. One is outside and the other is inside. Together with the guard, he protects the "Shadow Ghost Forest" for the sect." Tuoba Yan did not shy away and explained directly. p>
"Uncle Master, isn't there a prohibition in the world of cultivation that you cannot turn to the ghost path? Ghost cultivators are murderous, and everyone in the righteous path can kill them. Why would the sect do this?" Liu Yu was shocked when he heard this and asked in a low voice. p>
"Nowadays, the world of cultivation does not tolerate ghost cultivation, but if a sect disciple dies fighting for the sect, his body dies but his soul is not extinguished, like the last sect war, will the sect abandon him and ignore him and let his soul dissipate?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Or, my nephew, you may have been poisoned, cursed, or seriously injured, and your body has withered, or your meridians have been disabled, and you are unable to practice. Are you willing to just watch and wait for death?" Tuoba Yan was not in a hurry to explain, but asked
Tao.
"This..." Liu Yu couldn't help but be speechless. Although it is very rare for the body to die without the soul disappearing, but if this person is born with a strong soul, or if he has practiced the "out-of-body" method with ghost skills before his death, he will not be able to die.
It's not impossible.
Besides, if his body really withered or he was seriously injured, which damaged his Dantian and made him unable to practice, Liu Yu would not be willing to wait for death. This is why Liu Yu took the risk to take out the incomplete copy of the book buried in the ground from his old house.
"Ghost Dao Kung Fu".
On the way back to Yunzhou from the north, the shocking scene of being cursed and killed by evil spirits still chills Liu Yu to this day. He had to consider having a backup plan. The method of leaving the body recorded in the book "Ghost Dao Kung Fu".
Liu Yu is already meditating.
"So, there are some things that can be completely eliminated without a ban. The sect has many considerations in doing this."
"The sect will move all the disciples who have changed to the ghost way due to various changes to the "Shadow Ghost Forest". Once this forest is called a "cloudy place", the yin energy is heavy, and it is an excellent secret for practicing the ghost way.
Secondly, it can also help take care of the Chinese medicinal fields and guard the ghost forest, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone." Tuoba Yan said slowly.
"Although this is the case, I heard that the Jian Yue Immortal Sect has already issued a "Ghost Killing Order" and often sends inspectors to visit various places in Dongyuan. If they are discovered by them, won't the sect cause a big disaster?" Liu Yu
I asked still a little confused.
"Jian Yue Xian Sect indeed has a ban, ordering the sects all over the world to destroy the "Ghost Dao Kung Fu". Each sect has indeed fulfilled this order. On the surface, it has already abolished the "Ghost Dao" line and does not allow its disciples to practice the Ghost Dao Kung Fu. However,
As mentioned above, there are always some unavoidable reasons."
"So there will be more or less ghost cultivator disciples in each sect of Dong Yuan. The number will definitely not be large. This is the default thing in the cultivation world."
"Even the Jian Yue Immortal Sect actually knows this. As long as each sect takes good care of the ghost cultivators within their sects and does not cause trouble, the Jian Yue Immortal Sect will pretend to be ignorant and turn a blind eye."
"Otherwise, the closest relatives and descendants of the elders of the Jian Yue Immortal Sect will also have accidents with physical damage. Reluctantly, they will also secretly arrange for their descendants to turn to the ghost path to ease the pain of premature separation." "Although there are few good results in the ghost path, and the soul will disappear in the end, it can always postpone the pain of parting for a few years." Tuoba Yan said in a deep voice.
"Is what Uncle Master said true?" Liu Yu couldn't believe it. The Jian Yue Immortal Sect has always been the leader of the righteous path. After issuing a ban, how could the disciples in the sect violate it in private? Isn't this a slap in the face?
"Things in this world are not black and white. Some things may seem absurd and ridiculous, but they have their own reasons for existence. My nephew, you are still young. Right and wrong, good and evil, are actually not as clear as you see.
, when you see more, you will understand some things." Tuoba Yan shook his head and sighed.
"Are things in the world really like this?" Tuoba Yan's words made Liu Yu seem to realize something, but also seemed to be confused, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"These ghost cultivator disciples are all under the jurisdiction of Senior Brother Feng Yi just now. Senior Brother Feng Yi has become a fake elixir and is a ghost cultivator in the late stage of foundation building. When we meet in the future, we should be more respectful."
"There are more than forty people below the foundation, all living in Yaokeng Village. There are five people above the foundation. Except for Senior Brother Feng Yi, the other four people have caves in the underground mines connected to this pit. There is a chance
Let me introduce it to you again." Tuoba Yan continued.
"There are so many! Uncle Master, aren't the sect afraid of these people sneaking out of the ghost forest and causing trouble?" Liu Yu was startled again. After looking around, he asked in a low voice. You must know that most of these ghost cultivation techniques involve
The way of eating blood always changes the color of those who hear it. Isn’t the sect afraid of something happening?
"That's why the sect set up a guard station by the forest to guard against the monsters in the forest. The ghosts go out and cause harm to the people, and these ghost cultivator disciples are also included."
"Xuanyu, listen, if there are ghost cultivator disciples who try to break in or escape from the ghost forest in the future, once the defense team finds out, they will kill them on the spot." Tuoba Yan's eyes turned cold and he said through a message.
The sect is naturally afraid that something will happen. Although the Jian Yue Immortal Sect may turn a blind eye or close an eye, once something happens, they will not be lenient in order to build up their authority and kill as a warning to others.
Over the years, some sects have been imprisoned in Huiyue Mountain due to the trouble caused by ghost cultivators under their sects, and some sect deacons or elders have been implicated, and some sects have even been forced to be expelled.
All Dongyuan sects strictly supervise the ghost cultivators within their sects and are very cautious. The Buhuang Sheng Sect imprisoned all the ghost cultivators in their sect in disguised form in the "Shadow Ghost Forest" and issued a ban ordering these ghost cultivator disciples for life.
Don't take a step out of the haunted forest.
Just in case, secret seals are planted in the souls of these ghost cultivator disciples so that they can track their whereabouts at any time. Tuobayan has a positioning weapon in his hand that can track the location of the ghost cultivator disciples in the forest at any time. This is also the reason why Tuobayan
