"Junshan, it's getting dark. Why not rest at the guard station for one night and go back tomorrow." After Meng Shengming finished unloading the supplies sent to the guard station, he was about to return to Gaoyang City. Tuoba Yan saw that it was already dark. Then he spoke to persuade him to stay.
"Uncle, I have something to do with my family, so I need to rush back early." Meng Shengming politely thanked him.
"By the way! Senior Brother Xuanting, I have to rush to Gaocang City to deliver goods in the next few days. Do I need to help you bring back a few bottles of talisman blood?" Meng Shengming jumped up to the sect to facilitate the transportation of supplies to the guard, and gave him the supplies. The wooden boat magic weapon asked Liu Yu politely.
"No need, I had Junior Brother Lao Junshan in the past few months." From now on, the talisman blood will be provided by the sect. Liu Yu will no longer ask Meng Shengming to help buy talisman blood from Gaocang City like he did in the past few months.
"It's all a simple effort! Senior brother, there's no need to be too polite!" Meng Shengming said hurriedly.
"Uncle, Junshan is back soon, see you soon!" Meng Shengming bowed his hands.
"Be careful!"
"Junior brother, walk slowly!"
After saying goodbye to Tuoba Yan, Liu Yu, and Taoist Shangxu, the wooden boat carried Meng Shengming into the sky from the guard camp. It turned into a blue light, cut through the night, and slowly disappeared into the gray mist mountains with mountains. above.
"Xuan Ting, follow Pindao to the ghost forest!" Tuoba Yan turned around and said after sending Meng Shengming away.
"I understand, uncle!" Liu Yu nodded quickly and followed.
…
Half an hour later, the two came to Yaokeng Village deep in the ghost forest. After communicating with Baili Yuyu, Taoist Feng Yi gained the letter, except for the two foundation-building ghost cultivators guarding the two medicine points in the underground mine. In addition, other ghost cultivator disciples have been summoned to Yaokeng Village.
The disciples stationed at the Tianshi Guard Station need to pay a salary, and the same applies to the ghost cultivator disciples in Yaokeng Village.
These ghost cultivator disciples patrolled the ghost forest, guarded the medicine fields, and hunted monsters in the forest. Most of the animal blood they collected was used to irrigate the blood-containing flowers in the medicine fields. The sect only allowed them to keep a small part for their own refinement. change.
Therefore, in order to reward these ghost cultivator disciples, the sect will give some Yin attribute pills every six months. The Qi training ghost cultivators are called "Juyin pills" and the foundation building ghost cultivators are called "Melting evil pills". The number depends on the ghost cultivator disciples. Merits and positions depend on cultivation.
Tuoba Yan came on this trip to bring back these pills issued by the sect from Gaocang City, as well as the letters, pills and other items sent by the ghost cultivator disciples from their families or relatives during their lifetime, and handed them over to Feng Yi. Taoist.
These ghost cultivator disciples in the ghost forest are all under the jurisdiction of Taoist Feng Yi. The total number of ghost cultivator disciples in Yaokeng Village is less than fifty, and there is no need to distribute spiritual stones. This batch of pills and a few letters, It will be distributed soon.
After the ghost cultivator disciples dispersed, Tuoba Yan began to introduce the other two foundation-building ghost cultivators to Liu Yu, which was why Liu Yu was asked to follow them.
"Lianfeng, Qiuji, nephew Xuanting took office half a year ago. You haven't met him yet. Come and get to know him." Taoist Feng Yi greeted him.
"Lianfeng, I have met senior brother Xuanting!" One of the ghost cultivators stepped forward to greet Liu Yu.
"I've met Junior Brother Lianfeng," Liu Yu replied immediately.
"Xuan Ting, this is your master uncle, whose name is Qiuji." Tuoba Yan introduced him.
"Xuan Ting pays homage to Uncle Qiuji." Liu Yu bowed to another ghost cultivator.
"A poor Taoist is just a person who has died. I should not be called this. If you don't mind, just call me senior brother." Taoist Qiuji sighed when he saw that Liu Yuxiu was on par with him.
"The elder has seniority, and the disciples dare not make false claims!" Liu Yu hurriedly replied.
…
After a while of greetings, Liu Yu learned that this Lianfeng Taoist was a member of the Xiahou family of the Lu State during his lifetime, and was a new ghost cultivator in the Ningsha stage.
The other was a member of the Huang family of the Shu Kingdom, and his cultivation had reached the Shajia stage. He was already a foundation-building monk during his lifetime. He died in the last sect war, and then turned to the ghost path.
"Senior Brother Feng Yi, if nothing happens, Pindao will go back to the cave first!" Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Taoist Qiuji said goodbye.
"Yes! Junior Brother, you go ahead!" Junior Brother Qiuji just received the letter from the clan, and presumably he was anxious to go back to the cave to read it. Taoist Feng Yi nodded in agreement.
"Is this...?" Liu Yu stared at the back of Master Qiuji as he floated toward the entrance of the sinkhole. He didn't look back until the man disappeared into the sinkhole, and his brows furrowed.
Because under the psychic eyes, Master Qiuji's soul body was covered with extremely heavy evil spirit, and the evil spirit spread out like silk hair.
It is understandable that a ghost cultivator, absorbing Yin Qi to practice, and refining the essence of the three essences, is stained with the resentment of the dead, and the evil spirit is heavy. However, the weight of the resentment and evil spirit around this person is actually greater than that of Feng, who has condensed the "fake elixir" next to him. The Taoist Yi is even more advanced, which makes Liu Yu a little puzzled.
Evil deeds such as killing living creatures, desecrating corpses, eating people of the same species, etc. will all be attached with extremely heavy grievances of the undead, although the grievances of the undead will automatically dissipate with the passage of time.
But if the speed of the resentment of the undead exceeds the speed of natural dissipation, the resentment will become heavier and heavier. The heavier and heavier resentment of the dead will give rise to the evil spirit of the resentful spirits, which will be more difficult to dissipate. This is a shallow concrete form of karma.
These were specifically mentioned in the secret silver volume that records psychic eyes, and there is a saying in the world of cultivation since ancient times: The road to immortality has many calamities and obstacles. If you want to achieve the fruit of the road, don't be tainted by karma!
…
At this time, in a valley in the Gray Mists Mountains not far from the Ghost Forest, Meng Shengming, who had left the guardhouse earlier, actually parked his canoe in front of a bare rock wall at the bottom of the valley.
Meng Shengming jumped out of the canoe, made a seal and spread his spiritual consciousness to detect the movement around him. After confirming that no one was around, he took out a cold iron token and threw it. The token turned into a spiritual light and instantly disappeared into the rock wall.
Then there was a flash of light, and a low entrance to the cave immediately appeared on the bare rock wall in front of him. It turned out to be a blindfold.
There is actually a secret cave hidden here. The entrance of the cave was previously blocked by magic circles, and the cold iron token was obviously the formation order to open this cave.
Meng Shengming walked in quickly, and soon dragged out two "Lingjiao Mine Boxes" from the cave. After carrying them onto the wooden boat parked at the entrance of the cave, he returned to the cave and pulled out two "Lingkai Mine Boxes" again. ", loaded the canoe, cast a spell to recall the cold iron token, and the entrance to the cave became a bare rock wall again.
Then the wooden boat magic weapon quickly took off, carrying Meng Shengming towards Gaoyang City. After a short half-day flight, it flew outside Gaoyang City late at night. Meng Shengming did not enter the city directly, but landed outside the city. In an abandoned temple.
After hiding the four boxes of "Yin Stone Raw Ore" on the wooden boat in a secret stone room under the deserted temple, he returned to the He family mansion in the city alone with his sword.
The house is built next to the water and occupies a large area. The houses are spread out in blocks with blue bricks and red tiles. Although it is called the He family's mansion, it is not an exaggeration to say it is the Meng family's mansion.
The He family in Gaoyang was originally a prominent family that raised blood beasts. They also opened a talisman blood shop in Gaocang City and ran a business of buying and selling talisman blood.
More than a hundred years ago, Meng Shengming married his sister Meng Yiming into the He family. After establishing the foundation, he married the granddaughter of He Nan, the head of the He family, and the Meng and He families became brothers-in-law.
Later, with the death of He Nan, the head of the He family, no new foundation-building monks were born in the He family line. After that, several direct monks of the He family were killed one after another, or they were robbed and killed by strong men while doing business, or He was secretly assassinated by an old enemy. What's more, the cause of death is unknown and his body has not been found to this day.
Frequent changes have made the He family, which was already weakening, unable to recover. In less than a hundred years, it has almost become a mortal family. Nowadays, there are only a few people in the family who have spiritual roots.
The decline of the He family was so rapid that it was astonishing. There were occasional rumors in the city that the He family would end up in such a bad situation because of the wolf that was lured into the house a hundred years ago.
Regardless of whether this statement is true or false, it is already a fact that the Meng family has moved into the He family's mansion.
Moreover, the Meng family's animal farm and the Talisman shop opened in Gaocang City have been handed over to the Meng family to take care of it. Junshan, the head of the Meng family, is also a deacon of Gaoyang Taoist Temple. Meng family replaced.
