"Junior brother Wang, keep a close eye, I'm here for you!" Pu Chu, the leader of the fourth team by the ghost forest, and Wang Qingchi came to a corner and whispered.
"I got it! Senior Brother Pu, please be more careful. If there is any situation, I will notify you immediately." Wang Qingchi nodded and replied
Uncle Tai Xiong, the commander of the guard, has returned to the mountain gate to participate in the golden elixir ceremony of the sect's new elder "Hao Yi". This time is just convenient for them to do things.
In just ten days, eight boxes of raw ore have been prepared. Uncle Qiuji has sent a spiritual message, asking Brother Pu to go and jointly transport the boxes of ore out of the ghost forest and move them to the hidden mine cave in the Gray Mist Mountain. p>
…
In the room of the guard camp, Liu Yu was sitting attentively in front of the talisman table, holding the "Qingfeng Talisman Brush" and drawing talismans on a piece of fourth-grade "sophora bark talisman paper". The pen was like a swimming dragon, one stroke at a time.
A rune was quickly drawn on the rune paper.
With the completion of the last "Yin Eclipse" talisman, a fourth-grade "Yin Wind Thorn" talisman has been drawn and formed.
After that, Liu Yu formed the "Spirit Gathering Seal" with both hands, pointed directly at the locust skin talisman paper suspended in the air, gathered the pure yin energy floating around, and poured it into the talisman paper like wisps of black smoke.
As a large amount of Yin Qi was injected into the talisman paper, it gave off a dark gleaming light and shrank little by little. About two-quarters of an hour later, the palm-sized talisman paper slowly fell to the talisman table.
Liu Yu lifted the hand seal, smiled slightly, picked up the completed "Yinfeng Thorn" talisman on the table, and carefully looked at the quality of the talisman and the talisman.
After nodding with satisfaction, he put the talisman into his storage, stood up and stretched out. It took a lot of effort to draw such a "Wind Thorn".
This is the fifth one today. In addition to practicing and patrolling the ghost forest, Liu Yu stayed in the house all day long to draw talismans. With his powerful soul and "soul-clearing liquid" to restore his soul energy, he could barely draw the talisman at the end of the day.
Seven to eight "Shadow Wind Thorn" talismans.
After drinking tea and resting for a while, Liu Yu took out the "Guarding Plate". When Tuobayan returned to the sect more than ten days ago, he gave this plate to Liu Yu and asked Liu Yu to monitor the ghost forest on his behalf.
A command was entered into the jade plate, and the inner plate of the "Guardian Plate" emitted a burst of light, quickly displaying the information of the ghost cultivator disciples in the forest.
Liu Yu took a look and couldn't help but frown. He saw the word "Qiuji" displayed on the jade plate, followed by the distance information of more than 120 miles.
That is to say, this person is only more than 120 miles away from the guard station, and even closer to the border area of the ghost forest where he is guarding. Moreover, this is the third time in the past ten days.
How could this person come close to the outer layer of the ghost forest many times? What is his intention? Thinking again of the extremely heavy evil spirit surrounding this person's soul last time, Liu Yu immediately turned the jade plate and copper wheel, and the word "Qiu Ji" was engraved on it.
The piece of copper grating reaches the top "sill" and snaps into the groove of the vessel plate.
The information displayed on the inner disk is immediately converted into a pointer compass. The yellow light needle in the compass points to the Kanzi position, and the disk displays:
Akiyoshi(Alert)
Kanren is one hundred and twenty-five miles away
Liu Yu immediately put away the "Garrison Tray", stood up and left the house, summoned the Silver Wind Sword to activate the flying sword form, rose into the air, and flew towards the direction of Kanren, the ghost forest.
He was going to find out why this person kept coming near the ghost forest? Is there something fishy about it?
This scene was witnessed by defense disciple Wang Chen, who was hiding in the defense disciples' barracks and secretly monitored Liu Yu's house through the screen window.
After the light of Liu Yu's sword disappeared from the sky, the man immediately took out a "Spirit Word Talisman" to activate it and passed the news to Wang Qingchi, the vice-captain of the fourth clan brother team.
"Not good!" Wang Qingchi at the edge of the ghost forest took out a "Spirit Word Talisman" with lingering aura from his pocket, and immediately activated it. When the talisman turned into a ball of ashes, Uncle Xuanting, the head of the guard station, left the camp.
The spiritual words flying toward the ghost forest rang in Wang Qingchi's ears.
"Senior brother, come back first!" Wang Qingchi's expression changed, and he immediately took out a piece of "Tongyan Jade" and sent a message to his senior brother Pu Chu, who had just entered the ghost forest not long ago. The situation has changed and Dutou has left the camp to inspect the ghost forest.
OK, cancel this operation to transport the ore boxes and look for other opportunities.
…
"Well!" Liu Yu was flying with his sword while checking the "Guardian Plate" in his hand. His brows couldn't help but frown. Judging from the information displayed on the jade plate, Qiuji was moving deeper into the ghost forest and was no longer there.
Staying in the outer layer of the ghost forest, is it because you think too much?
It's a pity that the information displayed on this "Monitoring Disk" is only refreshed every twenty breaths, and can only show the approximate direction and distance. Where exactly did this person stay in the ghost forest if he cannot be traced?
I heard that some advanced "surveillance disks" can not only display the target's position and distance in real time, but also track the target's previous position and distance.
Continuous long-term tracking can gradually establish the target's movement route, determine the opponent's specific whereabouts, and find where the target has been before and where he stayed. This is a great weapon, but a "surveillance board" of that level is different from
It is the same as a magic weapon, extremely rare.
"That's right!" Liu Yu held the "Monitoring Disk" and monitored it for a while. Seeing that Qiuji was getting further and further away, and that he was heading to the depths of the ghost forest, he stopped following him and pondered for a moment.
Finally, he flew towards Yaokeng Village, but he was still a little worried.
When Tuoba Yan left, he said that if there was any trouble, he could go to the forest to find Uncle Feng Yi for help. Liu Yu planned to go to Yaokeng Village to find Uncle Feng Yi to find out about this person.
Uncle Feng Yi is also a ghost cultivator and is the deacon of these ghost cultivator disciples, so he should know something about Qiuji.
…
"Disciple Xuanting, pay your respects to Master Feng Yi!" Liu Yu rushed to Yaokeng Village, but Master Feng Yi was not in the village. After asking, he found out that he was currently meditating in a cave in an underground mine. Following a ghost forest disciple,
Enter the mine tunnel through the sinkhole in the village, go around seven times and eight times, and after holding a stick of incense, we arrive at the cave of Taoist Feng Yi.
"How come nephew Xuanting has time to come to Pindao? Come in and sit down wherever you want!" Taoist Feng Yi dismissed the ghost cultivator disciple who was leading the way, opened the restriction and put Liu Yu into the cave, and said hello.
The cave is extremely simple, with a Yin Gathering Array at the bottom. Apart from a set of stone tables for entertaining guests, there is nothing in the cave, not even a stone bed.
"Disciple discovered something suspicious. Uncle Taixiong has returned to the sect, so I have no choice but to disturb you, uncle." Liu Yu said respectfully.
"Oh! What's the matter?" Taoist Feng Yi asked in confusion.
"I wonder if your uncle knows anything about Uncle Qiuji?" Liu Yu sat down and asked bluntly.
"Is it related to Junior Brother Qiuji?" Taoist Feng Yi asked in a deep voice.
"Exactly, the last time I met Master Qiuji, the disciple noticed that Master Qiuji had a heavy resentment. In the past ten days, through the "Guarding Board", the disciple found that Master Qiuji had repeatedly approached the ghost forest.
"Are there any problems with this?" Liu Yu thought for a moment and gritted his teeth and asked.
"It turns out that this is the case. Junior Brother Qiuji was a foundation-building monk during his lifetime. He died in the war and was forced to turn to the ghost path. His lifespan is not long, so he usually hunts some monsters in the forest and collects their essences.
Blood, if you practice the way of blood refining, it is normal to have some resentment from the dead on your body!"
"But don't worry, nephew. Junior Brother Qiuji has never left the ghost forest since he entered the ghost forest more than a hundred years ago. He secretly refined some monster blood essence."
"Although this move is against the sect's order, given the special situation of Junior Brother Qiuji, Pindao would not notice it at all on weekdays! Just like my nephew's jade glass snake, which usually roams freely in the forest."
"However, my nephew's spiritual awareness is very sharp, and he can detect something strange in just one glance. That's good!"
"As for Junior Brother Qiuji approaching the outer layer of the ghost forest, it was my nephew's misunderstanding. Junior Brother Qiuji is Pindao's deputy. When Pindao is meditating, Junior Brother Qiuji will patrol the ghost forest. It is normal to appear near the ghost forest!" Feng!
Taoist Yi slowed down and explained.
It turns out that Taoist Qiuyoshi had reached the level of six prefectures during his lifetime. When his physical body was destroyed, he still had more than 230 years of life left. When he turned to the ghost path, he lost more than 30 years of life.
In other words, the lifespan of his soul body is only about two hundred years. Within these two hundred years, Taoist Qiuji must cultivate to the late stage of ghost cultivation of false elixir, otherwise his soul body will collapse on its own before the thunder disaster comes from the sky. Although ghost cultivation is a line of practice created by cultivators based on the practice of ghosts, it is slightly different from those innate or acquired ghosts.
When a living being dies, the remaining soul turns into an unconscious ghost, which can be recognized as having entered "reincarnation", jumped out of the five elements, and has no longevity.
Even if the ghost soul later gets a chance, succeeds in cultivation, and awakens some memories of his life, it is also called "rebirth". Heaven has recognized that he is not the same person as before his death. However, the soul of a monk voluntarily leaves the body and turns to the ghost way. This cannot be the same.
.
In this special situation, the soul still remembers longevity, and after the soul leaves the body, the longevity will even be lost. If the soul successfully leaves the body during the Qi training period, the law of heaven will bestow longevity. If you build the foundation and change cultivation
Ghost Dao, since the body of Zhufu has already increased its longevity, it will not grant any more longevity.
The ghost cultivation disciples of these sects in the ghost forest, including Taoist Feng Yi, were all in the Qi training stage and were forced to switch to ghost cultivation due to various reasons. The ghost forest has a strong Yin energy, and the sect is taking care of them, so it is right for them
For these people, they have a long life and no pressure, and they only need to worry about thunder and calamity from heaven.
However, Taoist Qiuyoshi is different. Not only does he have to worry about a sudden thunder disaster, but he also has to worry about his short lifespan. After two hundred years of cultivation to the late stage of false elixir, even if he is a ghost cultivator, his cultivation speed is extremely fast and the time is too tight. Although during the foundation-building period, the ghost path is a powerful one, once the soul is successfully converted, it will be equivalent to the shadow soul cultivation level.
But I still can't catch up. I want to quickly cultivate to the late stage of false elixir, overcome the tribulation and condense the Yin elixir, so as to increase my lifespan. This way is extremely difficult and slim.
This is also the reason why Taoist Feng Yi turns a blind eye to how Junior Brother Qiuji secretly hunts monsters in the ghost forest and takes blood for refining.
