Fairy, please let me explain

Chapter 94 Raising Ghosts (Two in One)
Passing through the phantom formation, the luxurious carriage with the carved black dragons walked along the path for about a hundred meters and then stopped.

Slowly getting off the carriage, watching the strange scene around him gradually frowned.

Looking down from the sky, the huge black abyss sucks 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.

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

It is recorded in the classics that if one breathes out this kind of mutated Yuan Qi for a long time, the human body will gradually turn into a ghost.

Xu Yuan was thinking,

Suddenly,

"Roar!!"

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

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

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

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

But 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 those 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 calm voice of the saint's remnant soul resounded from the bottom of my 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 cloth bag was immediately burned to nothing, exposing countless corpses inside, but the instant these corpses appeared, they were immediately swallowed up by the ink-like black mist below.

next moment,
After eating countless corpses, the strange black mist suddenly soared, colliding with the huge formation that was upside down above the abyss, 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, and a strange fog grows after a long time, the sun can't enter, and the fingers can't be seen.There are ghosts crying and wolves crying in it, and no mortal will come back, and it is difficult for those who have entered the Tao 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."

words fell,

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

And almost simultaneously,
A cold light flashed across the silent withered 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 slightly.

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

Before Xu Yuan could ask a question, the portable grandfather had already given the answer.

"."

The air was 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, and Xu Yuan inexplicably thought of "Jie Jie" when he heard it.

With his expression unchanged, Xu Yuan slightly cupped his hands at the old man:
"Old sir. Are you?"

With the blade in his throat, the old man's voice could not be heard in fear, it was still as rough and hoarse as the bark of an old tree:
"Don't dare to 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 withered old man turned around slowly, and walked ahead to lead the way:

"Third Young Master, please come with this old slave. The Eldest Young Master has already explained the specific matters before, and the servants will take care of the carriage here."

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

All the way through, all the way silent.

suddenly,

The voice of the saint's remnant soul sounded from the bottom of Xu Yuan's heart:

"This man is loyal to your father. He has guarded by the ghost mist for at least thirty years. He is half human and half ghost, and 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 ahead, but didn't speak.

The moment he saw the old man's appearance, Yihun had already felt the strange aura emanating from the old man.

This kind of breath is almost the same as the origin of the surrounding mutations.

Ghostly.

This state is recorded in some classics.

The mood is a little complicated.

Walking out of the woods in silence, the 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 up the huge cloth bag, Xu Yuan subconsciously stopped in his tracks after catching a glimpse of what was inside.

That is
living? !
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 yearn to escape outside the formation, but they have nowhere to rely on in the air and can only watch themselves fall towards the strange black mist.

The screams, curses, and cries all became one, and were quickly engulfed by the black mist.

And then 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 reserved for 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 all death row prisoners sent from the prisons of counties and counties around Jingjiang Mansion. Most of them are strong men who kill and rob, and death is not a pity.

"and,

"These people have a lot of evil spirit, and they are the most suitable for cultivating ghosts, hehehehehehehehahahahaha."

At the end of the conversation, the haggard old man seemed uncontrollable, and suddenly let out a deep and crazy sneer.

The cold wind swept across the treetops, rustling.

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

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

[Ghost energy enters the brain, sometimes like madness]

Yue 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 at Xu Yuan:

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

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

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

The [-] meters around the black abyss is bare black land, and there are no man-made buildings at a glance.

But soon a downward dark corridor appeared before Xu Yuan's eyes.

The haggard old man seemed to need to stabilize his mood, 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 fire lights 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. Lo"

The remnant soul of the saint explained indifferently:

"Ghost fog characteristics.

"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 junction of yin and yang". Of course, this is just an adjective, but it is basically the same. How much difference."

Xu Yuan understood clearly, these days he has read a lot of classics about ghost fog.

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.

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

Silence continued downward, and the corridor spiraled downward, so deep that it seemed to have no end.

I don't know how long I walked,

Ran Qingmo suddenly said beside him:
"almost there."

Xu Yuan immediately became vigilant 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 withered 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 took a look at Ran Qingmo.

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

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

After crossing the white light film, the scene in front of me suddenly became clear.

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 emitting a faint light, which stretched endlessly, forming some kind of intricate pattern, until the end of Xu Yuan's field of vision.

Counting breaths after he steps in,
Suddenly,

A series of 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 is a neatly arranged stone room, in which countless phantom-like ghosts are trapped and crashing wildly, but the inner wall of the stone room is also engraved with such dense and cumbersome formations that they cannot get out of the trap at all.

Seeing this 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 lightly.

It is almost common sense among the common people that monsters can be kept in captivity, but this thing like ghosts...
The remnant soul of the sage laughed lowly when he heard the words, and his tone carried a hint of emotion about the changes in the world:

"Hehe. That's right. The last time I came out was 3000 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 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, it is no longer necessary to use medicinal materials to refine the elixir that helps the soul, ghosts and ghosts can all 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 no longer a day or two
But if you talk about captivity.

Thinking of 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 changing rapidly.

It's just like the advancement of human technology in raising monsters, except that this time the human race began to raise even more terrifying ghosts.

But on second thought, yes,
Ferocious beasts such as 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.

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, does your Tianyuan Sword Sect have this?"

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 latecomers compete with newcomers?"

Xu Yuan's eyes were fixed, with a trace 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 ghost fog was created by the "Gewuyuan" in your Xiangguo Mansion. There are hundreds of millions of sentient beings, and there is no shortage of amazing and talented people. This formation is the first of its kind."

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

The previous "Tianxun Crystal", and the ghost fog formation 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?"

Saint Remnant Soul 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."

Saying that, the saint's remnant soul paused, and said with a meaningful smile:

"Your eldest 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."
