At almost dawn the next day, Xu Huaigu and the female ghost had quietly left the inn. Although the female ghost has no cultivation, she is still a ghost. Xu Huaigu is a monk, so one person and one ghost can travel very quickly, but they have already returned to the Lichuan Mountain at dawn.
After such a battle, Li Chuanshan's vitality was seriously damaged. Many parts of the formerly lush woods had been leveled to the ground. From a height, they looked like ugly patches of moss.
Fortunately, the ghosts have been eliminated. When the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers on the mountain again, given time, Lichuan Mountain will return to its former feng shui treasure land.
The female ghost talked a lot with Xu Huaigu along the way, and they got along pretty well. The main reason was that Xu Huaigu was very interested in the female ghost's experience, and because of last night's incident, he had a very favorable impression of her, so they had a great conversation. .
She thought it was funny when she remembered that Xu Huaigu acted to scare her when they first met this person and a ghost in Lucheng.
But this was fate. If Zuo Qiuxun hadn't taken the blood wind chime from the Taoist priest in black, the two would still be enemies.
Feeling the surge of spiritual energy from heaven and earth in Lichuan Mountain, Xu Huaigu took a deep breath and felt more comfortable. After sorting out the sword intention according to what Zuo Qiuxun said last night, I really found that I had benefited a lot.
A real fight can best stimulate potential. The thin line between life and death is the opportunity for many monks to break through.
Because before this battle, he had just entered the third realm, so he had not broken through yet, but his cultivation had reached the peak of the three realms. The sword intent of the flying sword in the heart lake was stronger and more solid than before. Much stronger.
Let him draw the sword now, it will only be faster, and it will not be as easy to exhaust spiritual energy as before. Xu Huaigu asked the female ghost next to him, "Where will you go after the fetus in your belly is transformed? Do you really want to wander in the mountains and forests like Huang Shan said?" The female ghost smiled bitterly and said, "Otherwise, where else can you go? Yes. It's okay when you're in the realm. Without realm and strength, the world will be intolerable." Xu Huaigu couldn't bear it, so he said, "How about you go north with us?" The female ghost shook her head firmly and said, "I appreciate your kindness. , But this is absolutely impossible. The Zuoqiu Sword Immortal among you obviously doesn't like me, how can I stay here." Xu Huaigu sighed and didn't say anything. Instead, the female ghost comforted Xu Huaigu: "Actually, it's not that bad. It's terrible. There are thousands of people in this world who have no cultivation. How about living a good life? The same goes for ghosts without cultivation. As long as they are content with their duties and don't do anything harmful to nature, they can still survive." When he thought of this, Xu Huaigu suddenly remembered Thinking of the twelve people who died tragically in Lucheng at night, I was suddenly shocked, and I didn't know how to treat her. Fortunately, the female ghost said no more after saying this, and just took Xu Huaigu to the place where the souls were hiding. .
Soon they arrived at the foot of the cliff of Lichuan Mountain. There was a small tomb under the towering cliff. It looked like the most ordinary barren tomb, inconspicuous, but this was the place where the soul was hidden as the female ghost said. land.
Naturally, there is no way to enter Xuhuai Valley, a deserted tomb. Only ghosts can enter and exit. The female ghost immediately turned into a phantom, got in from outside the deserted tomb, and then came out carrying a purple-black jar.
She handed the jar to Xu Huaigu, who took it and wanted to use spiritual energy to explore the inside of the jar, but found that the purple-black jar had the effect of shielding spiritual energy, making it impossible to feel what was inside from the outside.
The female ghost explained: "This purple-black jar is actually a low-grade magic weapon. Although it is not of high rank, it can isolate spiritual energy, and sometimes it has wonderful effects." Xu Huaigu nodded and felt that putting some valuable items here The jar is indeed an insurance policy. Even if someone searches this deserted tomb specifically, the soul inside will not be exposed.
Xu Huaigu asked her: "Can you feel how many souls are inside?" The female ghost replied: "I checked it last night and there should be seventy or eighty people's souls inside." Xu Huaigu frowned and said: "Why? So few? There should be more than a hundred people who have lost their souls in Baihai City alone. Where have the rest gone?" The female ghost looked embarrassed and could only say: "These were collected by the ghosts below and said they were dedicated to them. Sister, but sister naturally disdains these souls, it is possible that they have enriched their own pockets. After all, these souls are good tonics for ghosts with low cultivation level." Xu Huaigu was so angry that his face turned blue, and he dared to do this. It is still unknown whether the soul of Yiyun's father still exists.
Reading La Xu Huaigu and his group originally came here for Yi Yun. The weak and fragile girl also took great risks to come to this Baihai alone. If his father's soul cannot be found now, Xu Huaigu will feel ashamed to see her.
His face looked ugly for a while, and then he said angrily: "Let's go, let's talk about it when we get back!" The female ghost remained silent and followed Xu Huaigu.
He kept an eye out and went to Huanglong to take a look. He found that the Taoist temple was still in ruins, but the spiritual energy fluctuations inside were still there. It should be that Li Siqing's inheritance had not been completed yet. Xu Huaigu waited until dark before quietly entering Baihai. , returned to the inn.
When Zuo Qiuxun heard that the soul had not been fully recovered, his face immediately turned cold and he stared at her, so scared that the female ghost did not dare to say anything.
In fact, Zuo Qiuxun was thinking, is it possible that this female ghost has hidden part of her soul and is planning to enjoy it after Zuo Qiuxun and his party leave?
In this way, even if her cultivation is exhausted now, she will be able to regain the third and fourth realms just by eating souls.
Zuo Qiuxun secretly kept an eye on it, and he would naturally have a way to test it when the time came. The most important thing now was to find out whether any of these souls belonged to Yiyun's father.
Zuo Qiuxun placed the jar on a coffee table, closed his eyes and calmly opened the lid of the jar.
Suddenly a soul wanted to fly out, but Zuo Qiu Xun blocked it with spiritual energy and stopped him from going back. She separated another small ray of spiritual energy, got into the jar, and began to explore. As long as there is Yi Xingping's soul, it will definitely be stained with Yi Yun's aura.
Time gradually passed, and Zuo Qiuxun's eyebrows wrinkled deeper and deeper, almost twisting into a ball. The ominous premonition in Xu Huaigu's heart became more and more intense. Is there not Yi Xingping's soul in it?
Zuo Qiuxun finally relaxed his brows and opened his eyes. Xu Huaigu couldn't wait to ask, "Is it there?" Zuo Qiuxun shook his head in disappointment and said, "No." Xu Huaigu was heartbroken and hurriedly said, "How about you stop?" Try it once, maybe you missed it?" Without Xu Huaigu's urging, Zuo Qiuxun went in again, but this time the result remained unchanged.
Xu Huaigu looked anxiously and looked at Huang Shan, who was still concentrating on refining the blood wind chimes, and was at a loss.
Zuo Qiu Xun reminded Xu Huaigu: "Don't disturb him. This is the critical moment. If something goes wrong, it's easy to go crazy." Xu Huaigu nodded, but Zuo Qiu Xun hadn't finished speaking yet. This time, he was talking about Xinhu The message sent to him said: "I suspect something is wrong here. Think about it, if the female ghost hides part of her soul and enjoys it after we leave, most of her cultivation will be restored. This is killing two birds with one stone. You must do it Don't be fooled by her plea for mercy. In any case, this female ghost killed so many people in Lucheng, and she is still cold-blooded at heart!" Xu Huaigu was shocked after hearing these words, but he did not dare to show it because he was afraid. The female ghost noticed his expression.
He also sent a message back and said: "I asked her on the road today, and she said it might be because low-level ghosts were lining their own pockets. I didn't even doubt it at the time, but after hearing what you said, it seems very possible!" Zuoqiu! Xun said: "It's okay, don't worry now, I will naturally have a way to find out when the time comes." Of course, the female ghost didn't know these words of "Xinhu Lake Transmission", and the two of them were very good at showing off their facial expressions. Not much has changed, so the female ghost is still afraid of the silence of the two people, fearing that they will regret it if they fail to find the soul of their friend.
The female ghost quietly raised her head and looked at Zuo Qiuxun, only to see her staring at her. She snorted coldly and said to Xu Huaigu: "It seems that Yiyun is not very lucky. This is fate. There is no other way. This way , you first go to the Baihai government office to see if Chen Shaochun wakes up. If he does, you can give these souls back to him. How much can be saved." Xu Huaigu nodded in agreement, and went with the purple-black jar in his arms. Government.
Along the way, he was thinking about this. Was Zuoqiu Xun right, or was it really what the female ghost said?
Xu Huaigu couldn't make up his mind. He really couldn't tell from the female ghost's words and deeds which one was more likely. However, Zuo Qiuxun obviously had a deeper thought than his own. Xu Huaigu felt that he should think more about this in the future.
After thinking about it on the way, Xu Huaigu quickly arrived at the government house. After revealing his identity, he went in easily, and the news was immediately sent to Chen Shaochun, who hurriedly came to receive Xu Huaigu.
Following him came Master Kuchan, also known as Sishenxuan. Both of them woke up this afternoon, thanks to Master Huanglong who healed their injuries, otherwise the root cause of the disease would definitely have been caused.
The two of them were originally worried about the fact that their lost souls had not been recovered. When they heard that Xu Huaigu had found these souls, Chen Shaochun was immediately overjoyed and pulled Xu Huaigu to insist on drinking to celebrate.
Xu Huaigu did not tell Chen Shaochun that the soul was brought by a female ghost. He just passed it by and said that he accidentally found it on the mountain later.
After all, Xu Huaigu had warned Chen Shaochun about the black-clothed Taoist priest Mo Rao Ren, but Chen Shaochun didn't listen, and that's what happened later.
Xu Huaigu didn't want to say more about the female ghost. Si Shenxuan obviously did not believe that this soul was encountered by Xu Huaigu accidentally, but Xu Huaigu did not want to say it, so he did not point it out.
Everyone has some secrets, and smart people know what to ask and what not to ask. However, the matter was settled, and Si Shenxuan was finally gone from hell, so he planned to return to Baima Mountain in the Middle Earth in a few days when his injuries were completely healed.
As for the fight he wanted to have with Zuoqiu Xun, there was no need to fight, he already knew it in his mind. Being born with a sword is beyond his comparison.
This time when I return to the sect, it’s time to cultivate my mind and nature, eat fast and chant the Buddha’s name. Chen Shaochun still wanted to keep Xu Huaigu to celebrate, but he didn't know that Yiyun's father was not in the soul. How could Xu Huaigu be in the mood to celebrate?
He had to apologize and left. After Xu Huaigu left, only Chen Shaochun and Sichenxuan were left sitting across from each other.
Chen Shaochun held the jar containing the soul in his hand, and couldn't help but laugh, and said: "Master, you see, I thought that the previous battle was in vain, but now it seems that I have successfully achieved my goal!" Shenxuan also smiled and said: "It's so good. It's just how much effort and credit Xu Huaigu and his team have put in. How much money should you, the county magistrate, give to the gods? How should you calculate it?" Chen Shaochun was shocked and sighed: "This ...This is indeed true. The thirty big beads promised before are definitely not enough, but I don’t know how much immortal money this life-saving grace is worth?" Si Shenxuan laughed: "Why do you talk about immortal money? That one at the bottom of Baihai Lake Should we take out some good things?" Chen Shaochun was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief and said, "Sure enough, nothing can escape the eyes of the master. It just so happens that the snow jade has not been shipped out in the past few months, so it has accumulated a lot. It doesn't hurt to give some away." Si Shenxuan nodded, ignoring Chen Shaochun who started to giggle at the jar again, but looked at the night sky.
As he watched, the doubts on his face became more and more intense, and he muttered: "Why are the stars in the sky so chaotic today? Is something big going to happen again?"
