"How did you identify the body of Shen Yin?"
Although Zhao Lin has no interest in becoming a ghost cultivator, this does not prevent him from learning more about it. There are many ways and methods in the world of immortality, and the secret techniques are all kinds of strange. The more you know, the stronger your ability to survive.
"There is a spell called Tianmu Technique. If you practice it to the first level, you can see everyone's physique. However, this technique is difficult to practice, and I don't have that much time."
"Fortunately, there is a secret technique in the book left by the senior ghost cultivator, called Ghost Eye Technique. It is slightly modified on the basis of Tianmu Technique. As long as you have cultivated to a minor level, you can identify the body of Shenyin."
Hu Hongxing explained a few sentences, paused, and continued: "It took me three years to practice the ghost eye technique to a small degree. It took me another three years to travel to various states and counties to find a person with a body that was full of gloom. man of."
"I deliberately created a coincidence to get acquainted with this person, and then slowly got closer, deliberately trying to please him. In less than two years, we became close friends, hahaha..."
Looking at the proud smile on Hu Hongxing's face, Zhao Lin felt cold in his heart, and he deeply realized what it means to have a human heart that is dangerous and a Taoist heart that is weak.
What happened next was naturally a matter of course.
Hu Hongxing once visited the Yin Wind Realm and knew that the Yin Qi here was strong and suitable for ghost cultivators to survive. There were only some middle-grade monsters. As long as they obtained the Shen Yin Body, they could cultivate here safely.
With everything planned in place, Hu Hongxing used the pretext of carrying out the mission to lure his friend to the Yinfeng Realm and took the opportunity to sneak attack and kill him...
"There is nothing to say about what happens next. I switched from law cultivation to ghost cultivation, and my cultivation level directly entered the fourth level of soul refining."
"However, most of the monks who perform tasks in the Yinfeng Realm are in the late stage of Qi refining. I don't dare to go out, so I hide in this cave."
"Using the formation disks and formation flags left by the ghost cultivators, we set up a magic formation. We will see the light of day again when we reach the next level of cultivation - the form refining realm!"
"I didn't expect you guys to break in. It was because I was obsessed for a moment. Seeing that you were not high in cultivation and you just happened to enter the magic circle, I thought I had a chance to win, but it's a pity..."
Hu Hongxing sighed with regret in his words.
Zhao Lin snorted coldly: "You have stayed here for twenty years to cultivate from the fourth level of soul refining to the fifth level?"
"My fellow Taoists don't know that ghost cultivators have a long lifespan, so their cultivation progress is extremely slow."
Hu Hongxing explained: "For a ghost cultivator, twenty years is only three or four years. It is rare for me to be able to cultivate from the fourth level of soul refining to the fifth level."
"What's the name of the person with the Yin body you deceived?"
Yin Hun suddenly asked abruptly.
Hu Hongxing didn't expect that the ghost could speak human words. He was stunned for a while and was speechless.
Zhao Lin said in a deep voice: "I'm asking you something!"
Hu Hongxing's face showed a look of reminiscence, and he said slowly: "That person's name is... Li Yuanyou."
"Does he look like this?"
Li Zheng stretched out three tentacles and released spiritual power, condensing the appearance of a monk.
The monk is about thirty years old, wearing a green forged Taoist robe. He has a pair of red phoenix eyes, thick eyebrows and a square forehead, a straight nose and a straight mouth. He has a handsome appearance and a gentle and kind demeanor.
"you……"
Hu Hongxing jumped up as if he had seen a ghost, and said in shock: "Are you Li Yuanyou?"
His eyes glanced back and forth between the green-robed monk and the ghost, with a look of disbelief on his face, "How did you become like this?"
The green-robed monk gritted his teeth and said, "Old thief, why don't you thank me!"
Although Hu Hongxing knew that the green-robed monk was an illusion, he still stared at the green-robed monk in front of him and exclaimed: "You... are not dead!"
Then a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he said to himself: "Yes, that day was the first time I used the soul-eating technique. I was not familiar with it, so I let go of a ray of soul. I didn't expect you to survive."
Zhao Lin knew it in his heart. No wonder this ghost knew how to use water arrows, and no wonder he could see humanity in it.
Most of the mystery has been solved, leaving only one question: How did Li Yuanyou become a ghost?
When he asked this question, Li Yuanyou was silent for a moment and said: "The old thief killed me that day, not even sparing my soul. I tried my best to escape with a ray of soul."
"I originally thought there was no escape, but fortunately this is the Yin Wind Realm, with sufficient Yin Qi, so the soul is not easy to dissipate. Over time, it gradually grows stronger."
"Without my physical body, I didn't know what to do, so I wandered around aimlessly, gradually forgetting who I was and where I came from..."
"Until one day, I met a thousand-year-old ghost who wanted to take my soul."
"I was originally not as powerful as Yin Hun, but with an obsession in my heart, I fought with Yin Hun to the death, and finally merged together."
"Since then, my memory has become increasingly blurry, and I don't know whether I am a ten-thousand-year-old vine or a human being."
Having said this, Li Yuanyou smiled to himself, "It wasn't until I met fellow Taoist Zhao that some memories were awakened."
After saying that, he pointed angrily at Hu Hongxing and cursed: "Old thief, you are here too!"
Hu Hongxing naturally did not dare to refute, closed his eyes and simply ignored him.
Zhao Lin comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Li, this ghost cultivator will be in vain after all. After we get out, I will hand him over to the sect immediately."
Wei Shi also said: "Yes, the sect will definitely not let him go."
In fact, the two of them can execute Hu Hongxing on the spot now, but this matter is too unbelievable. Leaving the ghost alive can make the evidence more conclusive.
"It's getting late, let's go out!"
Zhao Lin estimated the time and found that it was the right time to rush to Zhongyin Mountain, so he made a suggestion.
"then what do I do?"
Li Yuanyou suddenly said at a loss.
Zhao Lin was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Now that Li Yuanyou knows that he once was a human being, how can he still stay?
But how can we get out with this appearance?
What's more, Yinhun can't withstand the yang energy of the outside world.
Zhao Lin thought for a while and asked, "Does Fellow Daoist Li have any relatives or Taoist companions outside?"
Li Yuanyou was stunned when he heard this, and after a while he muttered: "I... don't remember."
After saying that, I burst into tears.
Zhao Lin glanced at Hu Hongxing coldly, "You should know the situation at Daoyou Li's family, right?"
Hu Daoxing said quickly: "As far as I know, Li Daoyou's family is in Sanchuan County, Honshu, and he comes from a small immortal cultivating family. I don't know anything else."
Zhao Lin thought for a while and said to Li Yuanyou: "How about this? Fellow Daoist Li waits patiently here. I will report the matter to the sect when I go out and contact your family again. How about that?"
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhao."
Li Yuanyou saluted, pursed his lips, and said with a nervous expression, "Can they still recognize me when I'm like this?"
Zhao Lin sighed secretly in his heart and said with a fake smile: "Blood is thicker than water, even for those who practice Taoism."
"To take a step back, even if you have any difficulties at home, the sect will not let you live in this small world."
Wei Shi also said: "Friend Daoist Li, please relax, there are thousands of ways to get you out."
Li Yuanyou thanked him repeatedly and finally had a smile on his face.
Zhao Lin is not optimistic. It is not easy to let a ghost leave the small world.
Before leaving, Zhao Lin and Wei Shi collected the star peony on the ground.
Li Yuanyou wanted to help, but Zhao Lin refused: "Your injuries haven't healed yet, so we can do it ourselves."
These star peonies were transplanted by Hu Hongxing from elsewhere. He had been living in seclusion for twenty years and always found something to do to pass the time.
There were a total of 163 star peony plants. Wei Shi originally refused to harvest any of them, but with Zhao Lin's persistence, he harvested 30 plants.
Next, Zhao Lin took out the things seized from Hu Hongxing and asked, "Are the array plates and array flags used to control the array?"
"Yes, the formation of the Three Yin Fantasy Killing Formation."
Hu Hongxing knew that he was absolutely unreasonable, so he simply said everything to avoid suffering anymore.
"What kind of magic weapon is the pocket embroidered with skulls?"
"The Xuanyin Bag can only be controlled by ghost cultivators."
Zhao Lin took the Xuanyin bag and shook it twice, and the sound of pebbles rubbing and colliding could be heard from inside.
"What's ringing?"
"The Yin evil bead is condensed by the evil spirit of the Yin corpse."
"What's in the lock bag?"
"Books and elixirs for ghost cultivators."
Zhao Lin nodded and had no intention of opening it at all. Try not to touch things that are cultivated by ghosts, otherwise it will be bad if they take root in your heart one day.
After putting away several items, Zhao Lin suddenly slapped Hu Hongxing on the back of the head.
Hu Hongxing lost consciousness and fell to the ground without even humming.
This ghost cultivator had a sinister temperament. Although his magic power was temporarily restrained, Zhao Lin was still worried and simply knocked him unconscious.
Zhao Lin grabbed Hu Hongxing and said to Li Yuanyou: "Let's go out right now. Fellow Daoist Li can stay here with peace of mind. I believe there will be news soon."
Wei Shi also clasped his fists and said, "Goodbye."
"etc……"
Li Yuanyou said anxiously: "How about I send you away! My consciousness is far away, so if I encounter that person, I might as well have a reminder."
Zhao Lin knew that "that person" in Li Yuanyou's mouth was referring to the fat monk, and he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
Although my echolocation is over a hundred feet, I can't walk slowly when I'm in a hurry. If I meet a fat monk, by the time he finds him, he will also find him.
Li Yuanyou's spiritual consciousness can reach thousands of feet, which is indeed a big help.
"Okay, thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Li."
Zhao Lin nodded in agreement.
"That's right. I'm still counting on you to report the news!"
Li Yuanyou was overjoyed, put away the illusion of human figures, and returned to his ghostly appearance.
Without further delay, the three of them arrived at the outermost entrance of the cave.
Zhao Lin and Wei Shi stood still. Li Yuanyou stretched out a few tentacles, probed outside for a while, and soon floated back.
"How about it?"
Zhao Lin and Wei Shi asked.
"The person is on the top of the mountain!"
Li Yuanyou raised his tentacles and pointed above his head.
"I actually found it here!"
Zhao Lin's face darkened. The fat monk obviously had tracking methods that he didn't know about.
Wei Shi gritted his teeth and said: "What a mad dog, fight him!"
"Don't be busy."
Zhao Lin raised his hand to stop him and said: "With the strength of the ninth level of Qi Refining, it is difficult to win by just fighting hard."
"Besides, this man is very wealthy and can use expensive talismans such as the Patrol Talisman and the Wind Wind Talisman at will. Who knows what else he has?"
"Last time we tried all we could to get rid of this person. If we meet again, it might be difficult to get rid of him again."
Wei Shi knew that Zhao Lin was right and asked worriedly: "What should we do?"
Zhao Lin took out the array plate and array flag that he got from the ghost cultivator, "Originally I couldn't do anything, but now..."
Wei Shi's eyes lit up and he understood instantly, "Brother Zhao wants to trap him with a magic circle created by ghosts?"
Zhao Lin smiled softly, "The magic circle can't even trap me, let alone a monk at the ninth level of Qi Refining. However, it will consume some of his strength, and we will definitely go into battle when the time comes."
"That's okay too!"
Wei Shi glanced at the array disk and said, "By the way, does Brother Zhao know how to use this thing?"
Zhao Lin nodded, "The array is complex, complicated, and all-encompassing. It is naturally difficult to set it up from scratch, but this array has been set up and can be controlled with the array disk and array flag."
Li Yuanyou reminded from the side: "To be on the safe side, it's better to try it first."
Zhao Lin agreed: "It should be so, let's go back and try the magic circle."
The three of them quickly returned to the innermost cave without any delay.
The array disk is the cornerstone of the magic circle. It controls the opening and closing of the magic circle, as well as the adjustment of the magic circle. As long as you hold the formation disk, you can enter and exit the magic circle at will without being affected.
The formation flags are used to arrange and control the magic formation. The Three Yin Fantasy Killing Formation has thirty-six formation flags placed deep underground. This main formation flag can control the magic formation.
The Sanyang Phantom Killing Array is an illusion array. If the owner of the array breaks into it, the people trapped inside will immediately realize that everything is an illusion, and the power of the illusion will be greatly reduced.
This is why when Zhao Lin broke the formation, Hu Hongxing had been casting spells outside instead of rushing in.
Zhao Lin grabbed the formation plate and sank into his consciousness. He immediately understood the entire Three Yin Fantasy Killing Formation and the thirty-six formation flags underground.
The array occupies a radius of twenty-five feet and covers a distance of five feet above the ground vertically.
Zhao Lin used his spiritual consciousness to activate the formation plate and shouted softly: "Open!"
The magic circle didn't move at all.
Zhao Lin waited for a while, but saw no movement, and frowned in thought.
Although I have only practiced the formation for more than a month, I still know how to activate the formation. Brother Chuan Gong also took Zhao Lin to practice it, so why doesn't it work?
If there is a problem with the Dharma formation, why was it good before?
Wei Shi and Li Yuanyou didn't say anything for fear of disturbing him.
Zhao Lin thought for a while in silence, then suddenly clapped his hands with a smile on his face: "I remembered that after the magic circle is broken, it will take a while to recover. Given the size of this magic circle, , estimated to take two hours.”
Wei Shi scratched his hair and said, "It should be so. Although I don't understand magic circles, I have heard of this principle and forgot about it for a moment."
Knowing the problem, the three of them waited quietly in the cave.
Taking advantage of his free time, Zhao Lin began to think about strategies to deal with the fat monk and deduce the entire process. This was a habit he had developed all along.
After thinking about it for a while, I still felt unsure.
The key is that the fat monk is too "rich", and there is no way to know how many methods he has, far beyond the bandit cultivator who only has a few escape talismans.
Glancing at the ghost cultivator beside him, he suddenly had an idea and took out the Xuanyin bag.
Put on animal skin gloves and slowly turn the bag upside down.
Gulu Gulu...
Three Yin evil beads rolled out from the Xuanyin bag. (End of chapter)
