Apart from the fact that the rune ink is different from before and the ancient characters are pressed into it, the rune paper drawn seems to be a little different from what was seen before. The rune written is not the simplest one in the past, but three runes. These three runes combined with each other to form an extremely stable environment. Then as the ancient characters continued to be embedded, this stable environment seemed to undergo some wonderful changes. The final drawn runes contained a kind of emotion that frightened Yan Changlan. The power is more than two or three times stronger than the previous spiritual talisman! I'm afraid, it's even ten times higher...
Yan Changlan was slightly shocked.
Is this the true power of the spiritual talisman made by A-Zhuo? It was really far beyond his imagination.
Ye Shu finished one and handed it to Yan Changlan.
Yan Changlan took it and said, "Do you want to give it a try?"
Ye Shu said: "No need, I will defend you."
Yan Changlan accepted it with a smile: "It's still early today. Should I go to the wild to get some monster materials?"
Ye Shu knew what he was thinking and said: "Go away. The power of this talisman can probably hurt the monks at the eighth level of Qi Refining and below. If it is the ninth level of Qi Refining, it can withstand it, but if it is the Foundation Establishment Master, it will not be able to resist. What are you doing this time? Be careful when you go out."
Yan Changlan naturally agreed: "Don't worry, Ah Zhuo, you must be careful."
Afterwards, Ye Shu continued to draw talismans in the courtyard - the two of them rented a small and quiet courtyard in the inn, which saved them a lot of trouble.
Seeing that Ye Shu was immersed in it, Yan Changlan turned around and went hunting outside the city.
·
There are also several mountains outside Lincheng. There are dense forests, lakes, and huge wastelands, where many monsters other than humans live. Most of those monsters are in deep mountains and old forests, each demarcating their territory. If the human race breaks in, it will naturally be life and death.
Yan Changlan hung two swords at his waist, took a deep breath, and entered them.
He didn't know much about it here, and he would encounter many dangers, but as a sword wielder, he should have practiced more. In addition, he was equipped with many foreign objects for defense and attack. He would definitely hunt with all his heart. Return safely.
This test lasts for two or three days.
Yan Changlan knew that Ye Shu would be busy with preparations during these hours, so he simply stationed himself in the mountains, killing all the monsters he encountered that could be defeated, and cutting open the materials of the monsters. If he encountered those who were invincible, he turned around and left. There is absolutely no greed at all.
In this way, because of his extreme caution, Yan Changlan did not suffer too many injuries in this very unfamiliar mountain range. Instead, he gained a lot, almost filling his storage bag.
So Yan Changlan returned home with a full load.
When he arrived at the inn, he took out all the monster materials and said, "Azhuo, what do you need?"
Just like every time before, Ye Shu picked out most of the materials after rummaging through them and said, "You can handle the rest."
Yan Changlan used to pack the remaining things with furoshiki, and then he remembered something, and with a flick of his hand, he put all these things back into the storage bag: "I also kept some kinds of fresh and tender monster meat. It’s time to bake now.”
Ye Shu said: "You go and bake it, and I will draw a few more pictures."
Not long after, Yan Changlan finished roasting the meat, cut it and handed it to Ye Shu.
Ye Shu had just finished painting at this time, so he took it and ate it.
Yan Changlan's craftsmanship is mediocre, but he is at least familiar with it, and Ye Shu has an ordinary perception of everything he eats in this life. Whether Yan Changlan's cooking tastes good or not is not important to him.
Yan Changlan, on the other hand, saw that Ye Shu had a dull look on his face, so he took a few bites and felt a little frustrated.
——Now that he has received a lot of help from A Zhuo, he feels that apart from being able to hunt some monster beast materials, he has no other use... Even making this barbecue, he can only barely eat it, which really makes him feel a little uncomfortable. .
But he quickly brushed the thought away.
There is no point in thinking too much, practicing hard is the right path.
And this barbecue... He will try it a few more times in his free time in the future, believing that one day he will be able to make it taste like his best friend.
After two days, Ye Shu was almost ready now.
In addition to the seven-kill array and the spiritual talisman, he also took the opportunity to refine several magical weapons, each of which was carefully engraved with complicated restrictions, so that those few magical weapons could withstand a blow from an eighth-level Qi refining monk. If two pieces are stacked, even the ninth level of Qi Refining can be defended, so one person carries two pieces with him.
Then the two of them went to the largest trading house in Lincheng and asked if there were any evil spirits for sale.
The manager of the trading house only said that there were none recently, so the two of them had to give up for the time being. Later, under Ye Shu's guidance, they bought a lot of elixirs in this trading house. After going out, they walked a few streets and bought some more.
After making sufficient preparations, Ye Shu and Yan Changlan returned to the inn to have a good night's rest. Early the next morning, they asked the innkeeper to check out the room, then bought wildebeests and galloped all the way to the valley that Ye Shu had mentioned. And go.
·
The valley is thousands of miles away to the southwest of Lincheng. For wildebeests who can travel thousands of miles in a day, it takes less than two days to reach it successfully.
Yan Changlan looked at the valley in front of him and felt that it looked ordinary. It was no different from the ordinary valleys and there was nothing unusual about it. With this thought in mind, he turned to look at Ye Shu.
Ye Shu lowered his head and looked: "Let's stay in the valley today."
Yan Changlan had no objection and said, "That's fine." Whether it's there or not, you'll know after staying there for one night.
So, the two of them went down the valley, tied the wildebeest to a nearby big tree, then found an open piece of grass and set up the tent.
Yan Changlan walked to the river to fish, and asked: "Ah Zhuo, you said the strangeness here is similar to some kind of treasure evil spirit. I wonder what the strangeness is?"
Ye Shu sat aside and replied calmly: "It is recorded in the miscellaneous notes that when I was sleeping here, I heard the sound of ghosts crying."
Yan Changlan asked curiously: "What kind of evil spirit is Gui Crying?"
Ye Shu said: "Yin evil."
Yan Changlan was thoughtful: "I heard... that people have three souls and seven souls, and they turn into ghosts after death?"
Ye Shu shook his head: "After the death of mortals, only a very small number of people with deep obsessions and profound blessings can transform into ghosts. The souls of the rest of mortals will go straight into reincarnation and will not survive for only a moment. If they are monks, they can only gather their consciousness during the foundation building period. , generating divine consciousness. At this time, the three souls and seven souls are inseparable, and they become divine souls. When the foundation-building monks die, the divine souls are extremely weak, and most of them have entered reincarnation like mortals when they fall. When they reach the golden elixir stage, if there is no treasure to help them, The soul can stay for a quarter of an hour after death; in the Nascent Soul stage, the soul is within the Nascent Soul, the Nascent Soul is immortal, and the soul is immortal. If the Nascent Soul is destroyed, the soul cannot escape and will be dispersed."
Yan Changlan didn't know there were many other explanations, so he listened with great concentration.
Ye Shu continued: "However, if by chance you encounter a very special environment or a treasure of heaven and earth, the soul of a mortal, the soul of a monk, or the soul of a god will remain, and you will have the opportunity to step into the path of practice. If you succeed in practice, you can Ghost cultivators." After saying this, he paused for a moment, "But in this world, besides monks like us, there are also some monks who follow evil ways. They can use special methods to steal souls, and even kill people with Its method is to imprison the soul and use the soul as the material to refine the magic weapon... It is extremely evil. Changlan, you must pay attention to this matter when you go out in the future. If you can get the requiem wood and other things to calm the soul, you can kill it at any cost. Get it and I will refine it into a soul-suppressing treasure for you to prevent you from being plotted against."
Yan Changlan remembered what Ye Shu said firmly.
If given the chance, he would naturally obtain the Requiem Wood and other items, and he would not only obtain them for himself, but also for Ye Shu. He wanted to protect himself and his close friends, so as not to waste the other person's efforts.
At this time, Ye Shu talked about the strangeness here: "As you guessed, Yin evil is indeed related to ghosts. If there are many people who died in a place, regardless of mortal monks, the Yin energy will increase over time and gradually become pregnant. Give birth to a Yin evil spirit. And if all these people die in vain, maybe not only a Yin evil spirit may be born, but also a Resentful evil spirit. Yin evil spirits and Resentful evil spirits can even coexist..."
Yan Changlan understood somewhat again.
——No wonder Ah Zhuo wanted to make a special trip, because if his guess was correct, there might be a chance to get two kinds of treasures here?
Ye Shu indeed thought so, and said again at this time: "But now when I come here during the day, it seems that there is no cold air, and there is not enough Yin energy. If I can't see it at night, I'm afraid I will return in vain." "
Yan Changlan thought for a while: "Ah Zhuo, is there any detailed description in the miscellaneous notes?"
Ye Shu thought for a while and replied: "The miscellaneous notes were written by a low-level Qi Refining monk. He said that he was being chased through this valley and had no choice but to hide among the woods. After nightfall, he suddenly heard Hearing the crying, he ignored it at first, but then the crying and sobbing continued. He somehow walked over and saw a woman in white crying by the stream. But when he got closer and looked again, he found that the woman had disappeared, and By the stream, there were several corpses, which were the enemies who were chasing him before. He was curious and grateful that he could escape the pursuit. He thought it was the woman in white who saved him, so he stayed and prepared to find them. To thank the woman for her kindness..."
It seems that Ye Shu didn't have much emotion when telling this story, his tone was light, calm, and not exciting at all. But Yan Changlan became more and more fascinated when he listened, as if he said it very beautifully.
Ye Shu continued: "Unexpectedly, on the second day, the monk did not wait for the woman by the stream, but instead waited for an old man. He wanted to ask, but the old man also disappeared in the blink of an eye. . On the third day, a young man appeared by the stream; on the fourth day, a woman appeared; on the fifth day, several children appeared... Every day was different, and the people he saw never spoke to him. And every time he appeared, those people would disappear. And the woman in white never appeared again. Later, the man stayed here for a full month and never saw the woman in white again, so he left. But before leaving, thick fog appeared in the valley, and it took him several days to get out. After returning, the monk felt that this matter was strange, so he wrote it down and made it into miscellaneous notes. "
Yan Changlan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "Azhuo thinks that those women, old men, young men and others are all ghosts, and that the thick fog is actually the yin energy generated by the many ghosts? Before the monk left, Are you also blinded by Yin Qi?"
Ye Shu said: "That's right. According to what the monk said, he left after a month. The people he saw every day were different. Sometimes he saw one person, sometimes several people. If they were all ghosts, in this valley There should be at least dozens of ghosts or even nearly a hundred ghosts in it, and the dense fog formed by Yin Qi is not weak. Maybe it is impossible to give birth to real treasure evil spirits here, but if there are only things with Yin evil spirits, there will be a lot of potential. Possibly. And ghosts cannot survive for a long time, but they still survive, so there must be something fishy about it."
Yan Changlan added: "If those people died unjustly, then there would not only be evil spirits, but also resentment."
Ye Shu nodded slightly: "That's right."
Yan Changlan understood completely: "Then you and I should be more vigilant at night and take a closer look at what's going on."
Ye Shu said: "You must also be cautious."
Yan Changlan smiled: "Yes."
The two of them agreed and made preparations together.
As the sky gradually grew darker, Yan Changlan's attention fell on the only stream in the valley.
