On the Tiankun planet, the four main continents all have four races: humans, demons, demons, and ghosts. There are only big differences in their numbers.
Xiao Ding and his senior sister Cheng Yaowa stayed overnight in a cave under the Qingluan Peak of Soul Burial Mountain. In the middle of the night, they were suddenly awakened by a cold air.
Xiao Ding opened the sky and looked out of the cave, and suddenly found that not far from the cave entrance, there was a tall and terrifying ghost figure, looking towards the cave entrance.
The ghost figure was estimated to be more than ten feet tall, and it looked like a humanoid figure.
It's just that big face, pale and pale, with a pair of blood-red eyes embedded in it, which is glowing red at this time.
There are only two black holes on Ghostface's nose, and there is no nose tip. There was a huge mouth underneath, with the corners of the mouth cleft to the base of the ears. It was full of white teeth, with four canines over an inch long sticking out of the lip.
In addition, there was a blood-red tongue that was more than a foot long in the grimace's mouth. It was stretching and contracting like a snake tongue, constantly swallowing and spitting out.
There was sparse hair on its head, but it was spread out, covering half of its grimace.
The ghost's limbs are thin and slender, and the ten nails on both hands are about an inch long, and they look very sharp.
Xiao Ding discovered the ghost figure and was about to get up when he suddenly felt a figure flashing across his body. The senior sister once again stepped directly over him and flew out of the cave.
Then she used the flying sword to fight with the ghost.
This ghost's body exudes a strong cold air, which makes people shudder and creep before they even get close.
Although the senior sister has reached the state of perfect Qi training, she still can't gain the slightest advantage against the ghost.
When Xiao Ding saw it, he quickly stood up and took out a wooden sword from the space that he had whittled away from the flat wood with ten thousand years of lightning on the earth before, and ran directly towards the ghost.
The wooden sword struck by lightning is the nemesis of all evil things. When the ghost saw the wooden sword in Xiao Ding's hand, it was obviously a little afraid. After it made a false move at the senior sister, it turned around and turned into a gust of evil wind before fleeing away. at.
The eldest sister controlled the sword and chased after him.
Xiao Ding also ran a few steps, but found that his already mastered light body technique was as slow as a toddler in front of the ghost and the senior sister.
So he had to stop, holding the wooden sword in his hand, and watching the surroundings vigilantly.
Not long after, the senior sister also returned. She was still slightly frustrated and said: "Let that ghost escape again."
Xiao Ding said in a comforting tone: "Just run away. It didn't hurt us anyway. Is it a ghost from the Netherworld?"
"Yes, I can see clearly this time. It is indeed a ghost cultivator from the Netherworld. He can probably reach the realm of a third-level ghost soldier, which is equivalent to the cultivation of human Qi Dzogchen."
"Third-level ghost soldier?" This is the first time Xiao Ding has heard of this name.
"Yes, the realms of ghost cultivators are divided into: ghost soldiers, ghost warriors, ghost generals, ghost commanders, ghost kings, etc. The first-level ghost soldiers are equivalent to the third level of human Qi training, and the second-level ghost soldiers are equivalent to human beings. The cultivation level of the seventh-level Qi training, the third-level ghost soldier is equivalent to the cultivation level of human Qi training Dzogchen. The ghost cultivator who just escaped is a third-level ghost soldier." Senior Sister explained.
"I saw that ghost cultivator just now. It looked like a fierce ghost!" Xiao Ding asked curiously. When he was on earth before, after traveling to the ancient Song Dynasty, he had seen puppet-like ghosts controlled by people from the evil martial arts sect Linyou Castle, but he had never seen a ghost that could act at will.
"It is indeed just a fierce ghost. Did you know? After a human dies, the soul will go to the underworld, go through the six reincarnations, and then be reincarnated and become a new human being. However, some human beings, because of their heavy sins or resentments during their lifetime, After death, when the soul reaches the netherworld, it cannot be reincarnated, or can only be cast into the animal realm. Therefore, they do not want to be reincarnated, so they all become ghosts. In order to return to the earth, these ghosts began to practice ghost cultivation. This ghost cultivation technique is similar to the human cultivation technique. If you can achieve great success in cultivation, you can eventually enter the immortal class and overcome the tribulation and become an immortal." Seeing that Xiao Ding didn't understand, the elder sister explained in more detail.
"Ah, it turns out that ghost cultivators can also become immortals!" Xiao Ding suddenly sighed.
"Not only ghost cultivators can eventually become immortals, but other demon cultivators, such as demon cultivators, can also eventually become immortals. So I heard that in the world of immortals, there are good and bad immortals." Senior Sister said calmly said.
"But, I wonder what the purpose of that ghost cultivator just now was to spy on us?" Xiao Ding asked again in confusion.
"It seems that you don't know yet. Normally, ghosts live in the dark world of the underworld. When they are at a low level of cultivation, they are very afraid of sunlight. As long as the sunlight shines on them, their ghosts will immediately fly away. Therefore, if these low-level ghost cultivators want to be able to move around during the day in the human world, they can only rely on sucking human blood to keep their ghosts from being scattered by sunlight." The senior sister looked at Xiao Ding and said.
"Ah? Suck human blood? Could it be that just now, the ghost cultivator wanted to suck the human blood of the two of us?" Xiao Ding asked in shock.
"Yes, in this barren mountain, if it can meet the two of us, it will naturally miss the blood of the two of us." The eldest sister smiled evilly and said.
"Then it didn't absorb our blood just now, will it have to come back soon?" Xiao Ding said worriedly.
"That's not necessarily true. For ghost cultivators, human blood has the most yang energy and is the most suitable for them to suck. Moreover, the more cultivators the blood is, the more nourishing it is for them. However, if human blood cannot be sucked, , they can also suck the blood of beasts. However, the effect of ordinary beast blood is not as good as that of human blood. Only the blood of monster beasts is useful to them, but generally monster beasts are also difficult to deal with, so low-level ghosts Cultivators would rather suck the blood of ordinary humans than make enemies of monsters." Senior Sister said eloquently.
"That's it!" After a conversation with the senior sister, Xiao Ding finally got a little understanding of the ghost clan on Kunxing Continent today.
Seeing that it was late at night, the two of them added some dry firewood to the fire at the entrance of the cave, and then hurried back to the cave to catch up on their sleep.
This time, the ghost soldier did not harass the two of them again.
The two slept until dawn, and after breakfast, they began to climb towards Qingluan Peak.
The reason why the eldest sister does not fly with a sword or a magic weapon is because she knows that there are many monsters hidden in this mountain, and there may be high-level ones. If they fly in the air, the target will be too conspicuous. Some are easily attacked by monsters.
If you walk on the ground, the target will be very small. If the two of them use their spiritual consciousness to explore, they will easily avoid the minefields and bypass those positions guarded by high-level monsters to avoid unnecessary conflicts. .
The peak of Qingluan Peak is very high. It was almost noon when the two of them arrived near the top of the mountain. Part of the reason why they walked so slowly was because they took a lot of detours in order to avoid high-level monsters.
Relying on his memory, senior sister Cheng Yaowei led Xiao Ding to a large area of low fruit trees.
Xiao Ding looked from a distance and saw the woods. At this time, many branches were covered with clusters of flowers, which were very beautiful. These trees are much shorter than other trees in the mountains, and they are not as strong as other trees.
Among the trees, a large group of crows with a little red tail feathers were flying.
The senior sister quietly told Xiao Ding: "Those crows are Qingluan Fire Crows. Except for the head crow, which is a third-level monster, the others are second-level monsters. They can breathe fire, so be careful not to be discovered by them."
Xiao Ding was shocked and said to himself that such a large group of second-level monsters is equivalent to the seventh level of human Qi training. Even if they are not as high as the senior sister individually, if they come to attack together, it will be very difficult for him and the senior sister. Hard to resist. What's more, their head crow is already at the third level, and his cultivation is on par with the senior sister.
"Could this forest be the green wood and purple fruit trees?" Xiao Ding asked in a low voice.
"Yes, I got the Aoki Purple Fruit here last time, but this time, it seems that there are no fruits on the tree!" There was a little disappointment in the tone of the senior sister's words.
"There are so many Qingluan Fire Crows guarding here. How did you get the Qingmu Purple Fruit last time?" Xiao Ding asked curiously.
"Last time I came here, there were still a lot of fruits on the tree, and then a third-level monster came to grab the green wood purple fruit. I took advantage of the group of Qingluan Fire Crows to fight with the third-level monster. At that time, I went to pick one secretly. I wanted to pick a few more, but one of the fire crows discovered it. It turned around and sprayed a mouthful of flames at me, almost cremating me. Fortunately, I was I only have water-heaven roots, and the technique I practiced is water-attributed. I condensed a water ball in time to extinguish the fire, so I didn't get burned."
When Xiao Ding heard this, it turned out that the elder sister's Heavenly Root was of the water attribute, and the main exercises she practiced were also water-based exercises. No wonder her alchemy furnace always exploded. This is the incompatibility of water and fire!
"What happened next? Didn't the group of Qingluan Fire Crows chase you?" Xiao Ding continued to ask.
"Later, I saw that things were not going well, so I ran away in time. The group of fire crows did not come to chase me because there were still enemies coveting the Aoki Purple Fruit. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to escape." The senior sister now talks about this. As it happened, I felt a little happy.
Xiao Ding also felt that the senior sister's luck was too good at that time. So, he opened his eyes and looked carefully at the woods. At the same time, he also opened his spiritual consciousness and looked at the woods for a while. In the end, he found no fruit on the trees.
The senior sister had also checked clearly at this time and found no purple fruits on the tree, so she said regretfully: "It seems that the batch of purple fruits that were produced last time have been eaten by this group of Qingluan fire crows." ”
"Then Qingluan Fire Crow likes to eat Qingmu Ziguo?" Xiao Ding asked.
"Of course. The Green Wood Purple Fruit is a wood-attributed spiritual fruit, while the Qingluan Fire Crow is a fire-attributed monster. Among the five elements, wood generates fire, and eating a wood-attributed spirit fruit will naturally help the fire-attributed monsters. It’s beneficial.” Senior Sister explained.
"Qingluan Fire Crow is a fire-attributed monster, why don't you eat fire-attributed spiritual fruits?" Xiao Ding wondered again.
"Eating fire-attributed spiritual fruits will naturally benefit them. However, spiritual fruits in this world are not something that can only be found if they can find them. Now that they have encountered wood-attributed spiritual fruits, they will naturally eat them. The forest has been occupied, and we will no longer look for any fire-attribute spiritual fruits." The senior sister patiently explained.
The two were chatting about Qingluan Fire Crow and Qingmu Ziguo, when they suddenly heard a crow call.
Then the two people immediately turned to look in the direction of the woods, and saw the largest crow among the Qingluan fire crows, leading the crows, flying quickly towards the hiding place of the two...
