Yu Lewei didn't know what the horse face was thinking. She was still thinking about the curse seal cast by Chi Shang just now, and couldn't help but ask: "Junior, what kind of contract are you...?"
"Me? Didn't I use the curse seal you taught me?" Shi Chishang said blankly.
Yu Lewei frowned slightly, then the horse-faced man raised his head and sneered: "Don't ask, it's probably the remnants of the memory of his previous life. By chance, he used the Styx Contract. Grandma is a bear, so I am unlucky!"
Yu Lewei frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
After snorting twice, Ma Mian ignored her at all. Seeing this, Shi Chi Shang frowned and said displeased: "Speak!"
For some reason, when Shi Chi Shang spoke, the horse face trembled and replied involuntarily: "Master, what you just used was the Styx Contract. From now on, I will become your slave."
"The Styx Contract?" Shi Chishang read these four words and frowned, "Senior Sister, have you heard of it?"
Shaking her head, Yu Lewei said doubtfully: "I've never heard of it. Maybe my dad knows. I'll ask him when I get back."
"This is not something that ordinary people can touch," the horse said coldly, "Unless you are at the level of a Hades or above, the result of using the Styx Contract at will is to be swallowed by the Styx. I advise you not to do it randomly, or you will be harmed. It doesn’t matter if you hurt yourself, don’t hurt my master.”
Yu Lewei frowned and said: "Nonsense! How could the junior fellow student use it just now?"
Ma Mian seemed to want to sneer, but when Shi Chi Shang glanced at him coldly, he could only reply: "The master's previous life may have been a giant who had a causal relationship with Styx, so he can summon Styx in this state and be safe and sound. ."
"Oh? So, I was a big shot in my previous life?" Shi Chishang became somewhat interested and asked curiously, "Guess which big shot I will be?"
The horse's face turned pale and he said awkwardly: "This kind of information is not something I can know..."
"Junior, don't embarrass him," Yu Lewei shook her head and chuckled, "Those who can be called giants are at least at the seventh level of the upper world. When he appeared before, he was only in the middle stage of the Fierce Ghost, a weakling. How can I know this?"
"What do you know?" The horse looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, yelling angrily, "If I hadn't been betrayed by that bastard Ma Hanqing and fell into an ambush alone, how could I have fallen to the level of a mere ghost!"
"Ma Hanqing? The name should be from your Horse Face clan, right?" Yu Lewei asked curiously, "What about you? What is your name? What was your previous identity?"
Ma Mian snorted coldly, crossed his arms indifferently, and ignored Yu Lewei's inquiry.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Yu Lewei suddenly turned to look at Shi Chishang, her beautiful eyes like autumn water were full of grievances, which made Shi Chishang's heart hurt, and she said sternly: "Answer my senior sister!"
Forced by the Styx contract, Ma Mian reluctantly replied: "My name is Ma Hanxue, and I am the 3587th direct descendant of the Ma Mian clan's royal family. I warn you, if you dare to treat me like this, you will be the ancestor of my clan in the future." Once you notice..."
"Shut up!" Shi Chishang said angrily, and Nama Khanxue shut up immediately. It was not because he wanted to shut up, but because he was bound by the contract and had to obey the other party's orders.
"Answer the question that senior sister just asked." Shi Chishang said calmly.
Hearing his commanding words, Ma Khan was furious, but when he opened his mouth, instead of reprimanding him, he was given an explanation that made him extremely humiliated.
Through Ma Hanxue's explanation, Shi Chishang and Yu Lewei finally understood why his cultivation was so weak.
It turned out that Ma Hanxue showed sweaty constitution when he was born, so he was named Hanxue by his father.
Although he is only eight years old now, Ma Hanxue has already shown amazing qualifications and has reached the peak of ghost soldier cultivation. He is even more hopeful of breaking through to the ghost general level within three years.
Unexpectedly, Ma Hanxue was assassinated by his brother when he went out for training a few days ago. All the attendants were killed to protect him. He was also seriously injured and fled for several days until he was guided by the formation and was kidnapped to the human world. boundary.
"Hey, this is still a scene from a palace drama!" Shi Chishang clicked his tongue, "Are the nine sons seizing the throne?"
"Nine sons?" Ma Hanxue's eyes widened and he laughed angrily, "Are you underestimating the reproductive ability of our Ma Mian clan?"
Before Chi Shang could answer, Ma Hanxue had already shouted: "The 3587th generation of our Mamian clan has a total of 37,800 people. Among them, there are 3580 people who are qualified to compete for the position of the next clan leader. Twenty-seven people!”
"Not much!" Yu Lewei blinked and said.
"Hmph!" Ma Mian crossed his arms and sneered, "Sure enough, the human race is all big-breasted and brainless. Although there are only twenty-seven people in our generation, but including the previous ten generations, there are 381 people."
"Wait!" Shi Chishang was a little confused, "You guys from different generations can still compete together?"
"Why not?" Ma Hanxue frowned and asked in confusion, "As long as you have not reached the realm of the Underworld Emperor, you are eligible to compete for the position of clan leader. However, we have not even reached the realm of the Ghost Emperor, so we can only compete first. Choose the clan leader. Only when you reach the level of the underworld in the future and become the alternate clan leader will you be eligible to run for the clan leader."
Shi Chi Shang unconsciously took a breath of cold air.
The so-called ghost emperor realm is the palm sea stage in the ghost path, and the so-called underworld emperor and underworld warriors can only reach the realm after breaking through the palm sea.
Generally speaking, after human race ghost practitioners break through the palm sea stage, they can break through to the underworld, accept the cleansing of underworld energy, and then be promoted to underworld warriors, and then practice and break through step by step.
This is similar to how cultivators and Taoists ascend to the immortal world, in that they ascend from a lower plane to a higher plane.
However, the Horse-faced clan is worthy of being a powerful race that dominates the ghost world. It is obviously limited to the ghost world, but the requirement for running for clan leader is below the Hades Emperor. In other words, there are definitely not a few in their clan who have reached the level of the Underworld Emperor and above.
Seeing Yu Lewei also frowning, Shi Chishang's heart moved. It seemed that ghost practitioners didn't know much about the ghost world.
After thinking for a moment, Shi Chishang said calmly: "Okay, you go back first."
When Ma Hanxue heard this, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but he could only obey the order and turned into a ray of light and disappeared into Shi Chishang's soul.
As a contracted ghost beast, it usually lives in the soul sea of ghost practitioners and relies on the energy of ghost practitioners to survive. This also greatly limits the number of ghosts that ghost practitioners can control.
If they are just low-level ghosts, even if they are large in number, they will not have much impact, but if they are high-level ghosts, they will naturally not be able to control too much due to the limitations of their own cultivation.
Even if he is as strong as Yu Lewei, he only has one natal ghost beast, the disaster phoenix.
Seeing Ma Mian disappear, Yu Lewei suddenly sighed: "In recent years, our life in the ghost world has become increasingly difficult. To be honest, my dad and the others have considered moving to the ghost world, but today I heard that Ma Touyi Say, I’m afraid it’s not that easy.”
The Horse-faced clan is not the strongest force in the ghost world. Even so, they still have strong men at the Hades Emperor level. So what about the other forces? The Yin Yang Sect didn't even have a single strong person in the Sea Palm stage, so they rashly moved to the ghost world, fearing that they would all be destroyed if they were not careful.
This topic was too heavy, so neither Shi Chishang nor Yu Lewei continued. They put away the materials that could still be used in the formation, and then returned to Fengdu Ancient City.
Shi Chishang has reached the peak of night travel. What he needs most at this stage is the energy of the sun, not the ordinary ghost energy or lunar energy, so the two of them left Fengdu Cave Heaven directly after resting for a day in the city.
It happened to be daytime at this time, and the sun was shining brightly outside. After the two of them were far away from the cave, Shi Chishang quickly used his mental skills to absorb the solar energy from the sunlight. Suddenly, he felt the Yin Soul burning hot, and the pain was so painful that he almost fainted and fainted. past.
Sensing his whole body twitching, Yu Lewei reacted instantly, holding the back of his hand with one hand and stroking the center of his brow with the other, helping him quickly resolve the solar energy.
After a moment, Yu Lewei put down her hand and glared at him with a slight reproach: "The energy of the sun is so blazing, how dare you be so careless when you first come into contact with it, are you really not afraid of being burned by the energy of the sun? "
Knowing that he was too reckless, Shi Chishang said with a smile: "Isn't this senior sister you?"
After a snort, Yu Lewei said softly: "I know you are impatient, but the Liyang period is not as good as the Yuexi period. You absorbed Yin energy and ghost energy before, and you have certain adaptability to Taiyin energy, but Sun energy is different. That is purely for restraining us ghost monks, so you need time to adapt slowly, understand?"
Shi Chishang hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently without retorting.
It is mentioned in the "Soul Refining Chapter" of "Soul Evolution" that although the sun's energy is extremely blazing and can burn the soul of a monk, if the sun's energy can be weakened by the method of refracting light, it can be quickly absorbed in a short period of time. Adapt to the high temperature of the sun's energy.
However, this method made a lot of noise, so Shi Chishang couldn't use it in the car. He could only suppress his excitement and took the bus to the station with Yu Lewei, preparing to take the high-speed train back to Jiaxing.
After buying the ticket and waiting for the bus at the station, Yu Lewei suddenly said: "Junior, when we return to Jiaxing, I will ask my friends to go to the major trading houses to see if there are any spiritual objects that contain the power of the sun."
"Excuse me, senior sister." Shi Chishang said with a smile.
"Hey, why are you being polite to me?" Yu Lewei smiled leisurely, with a cunning twinkle in her eyes. She looked Shi Chi Shang up and down, which made him feel cold. She didn't know which of her words had offended her, so she quickly apologized and said with a smile. : "Senior, what's wrong?"
"I'm just curious!" Yu Lewei stared at him and said with a slow smile, "What us Ghost Dao practitioners are most afraid of is being haunted by ruthless thoughts, but junior fellow student, you have been fighting fiercely in the Sophora Forest for seven days without sleep, and it seems that you have not been bitten at all. There are no signs of being haunted by violent thoughts. I wonder if it’s because you are too determined, my junior, or because you have a weak temperament and are immune to even violent thoughts?”
Hearing Yu Lewei's full smile, Shi Chishang's heart was shocked, knowing that he had been careful, but in the end, his flaws were exposed. Indeed, in less than two months of training, he had reached the peak of night swimming in one step, which was an amazing achievement. Now he has been fighting for seven days in a row. But it is not affected by negative emotions. No wonder Yu Lewei has doubts.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Yu Lewei raised her eyebrows and said with a hint of a smile: "Junior, do you think your talent is amazing, are you so happy?"
Seeing her signature raised eyebrows, Shi Chishang smiled bitterly. To be honest, he had no intention of hiding the matter of "Soul Evolution" from Yu Lewei, but he always instinctively told himself that he must not tell Yu Lewei about it. Wei, otherwise something big will happen.
After hesitating for a long time, Shi Chishang still couldn't hold it back and opened his mouth to tell him about "Soul Evolution".
But he didn't expect that he had just opened his mouth, and suddenly there was a sweetness in his mouth. It was Yu Lewei who forked a small piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth. She said with a smile: "Everyone has their own secrets. Some secrets even belong to people who are very close to them." You can’t tell me, junior, you just hesitated for three seconds, which is very bad! Remember, if you really want to be strong, you must have your own secret, do you understand?”
Closing his mouth, Shi Chishang silently chewed the cake in his mouth, while Yu Lewei in front of him smoothed his hair, smiling charmingly and purely, like a ray of sunshine, quietly shining into his heart that had been hazy for many years.
In this life, Shi Chishang will probably never be able to forget this smile in front of him.
