He hid in place and relied on the Qi Condensing Talisman to control his breath. In his mind, he was always following the senses of the Paper Man Talisman, following the evil ghost as it slowly circled around the mass grave under the moon. .
"Is it also looking for wild ghosts?" Zhang Yan didn't think there would be anything else worthy of such a search besides corpses and ghosts in this mass grave.
Zhang Yan didn't have time to search the entire mass grave before. He just followed the evil-chasing talisman and found a new grave where a wild ghost was hiding. He didn't go anywhere else. Now from the tracking perspective of the Paper Man Talisman, it seems that this boy-like ghost searched in circles but did not find what he was looking for. That is to say, not a single wild ghost was seen.
"Could it be that this ghost in the new grave here is the only one in this mass grave?" Zhang Yan had some guesses in his mind. But he couldn't prove it at this time, so he hid and waited for the boy ghost to arrive.
After about a meal, just as Zhang Yan guessed, the boy Li Gui who searched carefully did not find any trace of the wild ghost, and finally gradually approached Zhang Yan's location on the mountainside, which is where The Evil Chasing Talisman confirmed that there was a newborn wild ghost hiding near the tomb.
At this point, Zhang Yan could already see the short boy ghost from his hiding place without using the sight of the Paper Man Talisman.
This is not the first time Zhang Yan has encountered the child-like ghost. I am well aware of the deceptive nature of this evil spirit. Moreover, there are many descriptions of this kind of child-like ghost in Longhu Mountain's classics, and he also wrote them down.
There are generally two types of child-like ghosts. One is like a baby, and the other is like a child of several years old.
There are very few devils who look like babies. They are usually children who died due to premature birth, or children who were formed but were forcibly aborted. Most of these children's souls are ignorant when they die and cannot become ghosts at all. Only extremely rare babies whose natural soul strength is far superior to that of ordinary people will break free from the constraints of heaven and earth and become ghosts due to the clarity of their souls and the most primitive obsession formed by their desire to survive. And because he was born with bad luck and no good intentions in his heart to offset it, his anger is naturally extremely strong. Those who become ghosts will directly become fierce ghosts, and they are rare and powerful beings among fierce ghosts.
This kind of baby is also called a ghost baby.
The other kind is the Li Gui who looks like the boy Li Gui in front of him. They are also called "ghost children" or "ghost children".
The formation of ghost children may be more numerous and complex than ghost babies. Some of them looked like this before they were alive, but their violent aura turned into evil spirits after death and they retained their habits; some of them were adults before they died, but in their obsession, they were filled with resentment for a certain memory of their childhood, so they became adults. When he is a ghost, he degenerates into a childlike form.
But compared to the ghost baby's unique talent, there is nothing special about the ghost baby, not much different from ordinary ghosts. It's just that the classics of Longhu Mountain say that ghost children like to create some illusions to show pity and gain sympathy before revealing their vicious nature. This is their favorite "game".
As far as Zhang Yan himself is concerned, he is even more disgusted with ghost children than ordinary ghosts. As for the ghost baby, he has not seen it yet.
At this time, Zhang Yan saw that the ghost child seemed to be sniffing the smell, or some special identification method. After testing it left and right, he went straight towards the new tomb containing the wild ghost. This posture can be regarded as confirming Zhang Yan's previous guess that it did come to this mass grave to look for ghosts like Zhang Yan.
"What does it want to do?" Zhang Yan did not move. He was curious about the reason why the other party came to look for the ghost. Generally speaking, although fierce ghosts and wild ghosts are both ghosts, they are two basically unrelated things. Just like coal and diamonds, they are essentially the same but completely different. But under certain special circumstances the two can tend toward each other.
In his field of vision, he could see the ghost child floating a foot above the ground, resting on top of the simple new grave that looked like a small earthen bag, with an expression on his face that seemed to be smiling. Then suddenly he plunged into the grave.
"This is......"
It is a soul body, so it is not surprising that it penetrates underground. But Zhang Yan didn't understand what the other party was going down for? Is it to communicate with the newborn wild ghosts in the grave? But wild ghosts don’t retain their intelligence as well as fierce ghosts. Is it possible for them to communicate with each other?
Just when Zhang Yan opened his eyes and looked curiously, the ghost child appeared again. But this time it came out very different than when it went in. There was a large fragment of a ghost's soul that could vaguely be distinguished as half a head in his mouth, and he was dragging the remaining part of the soul out of the tomb in his hand.
"I..." Zhang Yan's brows suddenly stood up, and anger rose in his heart. He never expected that in just a few blinks of an eye, the ghost child who plunged into the tomb would actually tear out the wild ghost hiding inside! Looking at the broken state of his head and body and the ghost boy's swallowing movements, Zhang Yan knew that he was too late to stop him. There is no room for salvation for a soul body with this level of damage.
But in his anger, Zhang Yan was also horrified that the ghost boy was not searching, but hunting wild ghosts and eating them as food!
There is still a lot of hostility and resentment in the ghost's soul, and it is not a pure soul. After devouring, different grievances, hostility and even residual obsessions will mix with each other and conflict with each other. Will poison yourself.
Of course, it is not absolute that ghosts cannot eat ghosts. Special circumstances also exist. According to the records of Longhu Mountain, there is a situation where ghosts can strengthen themselves through devouring, achieving an effect similar to that of devouring living souls. That is the method of ghost cultivation.
But here comes the problem, this is the Desolate Heaven Realm! This is not the legendary era of Earth! Are there any ghost cultivators here? !
And according to Zhang Yan's perception, the ghost boy in his field of vision who was feasting did not have the aura about ghost cultivators described in the book. From the inside out, he looks like an ordinary ghost.
This...this ghost kid is really not afraid of eating himself up after eating Haisai so much?
In addition, it is difficult to find a ghost in the mass graves here. The only one is a wild ghost born from a new grave. Even the wild ghost was caught and eaten before it could even leave the tomb. Is there a possibility that the reason why there are no wild ghosts here is because they are hunted down regularly?
He used to hunt down the souls of executed prisoners at the East Gate Execution Ground, but now he regards the mass graves outside the city as his own cropland, harvesting them from time to time. This can no longer be described as strange, and completely subverts most of the descriptions of ghost habits in Longhu Mountain. If these are still their "instincts", Zhang Yan doesn't believe it. He even believed that the strange behavior of these fierce ghosts in Langyuan City should be a planned and purposeful behavior, a strategy to strengthen themselves.
but......
"If you eat up my merits, you have to pay for it yourself." Zhang Yan opened his right hand, and the Wanxiang Pearl in his palm turned into a peach wood sword and he held it, and raised a talisman with his other hand. ...
"The universe borrows the law, and it is as urgent as the law! Bind!"
