Yaowang Valley is located in the wild area south of the Chu Kingdom. It is extremely poor in terms of geographical location. However, the wild land has mountains, water, forests and swamps, but it has nurtured many precious plants. This is indeed true for alchemists. It is a good place to live. Gui Gu's family has settled in Yaowang Valley a long time ago. The Gui family is the descendant of the ancient god Shennong. In the past, Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs and became a great pharmacist. As his descendants, the Gui family is the master of refining medicine. The ability is naturally well-known, but the Yaowang Valley is a small territory that has neither a country nor a title. Its reputation in the three realms depends not only on the technology of refining medicine. The people of the Shennong tribe in the Yaowang Valley are born with a talent. They are born with a magical ability that allows them to have an inexplicable connection with spiritual beasts from other worlds. This ability was later developed into a technique by the tribesmen. This is the spirit summoning technique unique to the Medicine King Valley of the Three Realms.
Regarding the spirit summoning technique, this is a very special technique. The reason why it is special is because the spirit summoning technique is completely outside the mainstream mana system in the human world. Its release principle is not Relying on magic power, but relying on the unique spiritual power of the Ghost Clan. The so-called spiritual power is a kind of power originating from the soul. The full name is soul perception. This soul perception is the basis for the communication between the ghost clan and otherworldly beasts. A powerful technique in which the beast reaches a contract and allows the spirit beast to be driven by it within the conditions of the contract.
Generally speaking, there are two types of spirit beasts that have reached a contract. One is called companion spirit beast. There are relatively many of these spirit beasts, but their abilities are relatively average. Their relationship with the spirit summoner is purely driven by profit. The spirit summoner They dedicate their own soul nutrients to support the spirit beast, and the companion spirit beast will do things for it. The other kind is called the native spirit beast. There can only be one such spirit beast, and it is a natural creature that is integrated with the spirit summoner's soul. The spirit beast that comes will accompany the spirit summoner throughout his life. Basically, it is the fusion of man and beast, the nature of twin cultivation. The strength level of a spirit summoner is determined by the number of spirit beasts he can control and the combat power of his own spirit beasts. The more spirit beasts he can control, the stronger his spiritual power. The higher the degree of fusion of spirit beasts, the stronger both are, it will be enough to be called a spiritual summoner.
Such a master is rare in the Yaowang Valley for thousands of years, and Gui Gu's father, Gui Liuren, the former high priest of the Yaowang Valley, is such a master. His abilities are outstanding and he is well-known in the three realms, so much so that he later joined the Yuling Palace. , became a member of the "Cang Ling", the most powerful heavenly group in the human world at that time, but suddenly disappeared. So far, Yuling Palace has not given a satisfactory answer to Yao Wanggu. After Gui Liu Ren's death, his younger brother Gui Liu Yan succeeded to the position of high priest. After that, the Medicine King Valley quickly fell silent. It seemed that all the limelight gradually faded away with the passage of time. The two ghosts Gu and Gui Wu As the orphans of the former high priest, the brother and sister have been staying at their uncle's house for several years.
That year, Gui Gu was eight years old. It was also in that year that he held Xiao Wu's hand and returned from collecting herbs in the mountains. As soon as he returned to his uncle's house, he learned the news that his aunt had given birth to a boy. Logically speaking, the birth of a son by the high priest was not a particularly big deal in Yaowang Valley, but in that year, this incident really caused a sensation in the whole valley. Because the child's natural spirit beast is a ghost spirit boy, and the ghost spirit boy is the original spirit beast of the all-powerful Gui Liuren. Everyone has a premonition that a rare genius who has not been seen in a thousand years is likely to appear in Yaowang Valley. Out of a certain psychology, the child's name was Ghost Spirit Boy.
Before the birth of the soul boy, the most powerful native spirit beast recognized in Yaowang Valley was Xiao Wu's white tiger. However, Xiao Wu had weak spiritual power since he was a child and could not control the native white tiger freely. Naturally, it was not on the clan's key training list.
At this moment, Gui Gu held Xiao Wu's hand and stood in front of his aunt's bed. They ignored the baby that was being held by their uncle and was holding everyone's attention. What they saw was their aunt's bleeding lower body. Just as they entered Before the room, the uncle's instructions to keep the child at all costs came from the door. The voice was so decisive that Gui Gu's heart trembled. Sure enough, as the price for the birth of a genius, her aunt, a miserable woman who dedicated her life to her man, died on her bed due to excessive bleeding, and the target of her final eyes was her husband. , and the uncle's attention was entirely on the newborn genius in his arms, and he didn't notice anything else at all.
Gui Gu looked at his aunt and remembered every bit of her past. What a virtuous woman she was. She treated herself and her sister as if they were her own. Even the scarf around her neck was made by her aunt who stayed awake for several nights. He gently smoothed her unclosed eyes with his hands. On this day of great celebration in the whole valley, there was an inexplicable emptiness in Gui Gu's heart. From that day on, he began to become taciturn and indifferent.
Among the spirit beasts, there are four great fairy spirits and seven great evil spirits. These spirit beasts stand at the pinnacle of the spirit beast world. Xiao Wu’s white tiger is one of the fairy spirits, but everyone in Yaowang Valley knows that in terms of strength, , evil spirits absolutely stabilize the fairy spirits. These seven evil spirits are known as the "Seven Deadly Sins". The most powerful one is the Ghost King Tong, the sin of greed, and the Ghost Spirit Tong is the larvae of the Ghost King Tong. Therefore, the soul boy's natural spirit beast is not inherently strong. The ghost soul boy needs to go through a long period of growth before he can become the ghost king boy, and this growth process is definitely difficult. Gui Liuren also paid a huge price in the beginning to make the spirit boy become the ghost king boy. The beast is fully grown.
After the birth of the soul boy, as the No. 1 training target of Yaowang Valley, Gui Gu and Gui Wu had hardly seen each other. Basically, he stayed in a hidden place every day to cultivate and practice his own spiritual beast. Ghost Gu didn't know how to practice, and he didn't care. He still held his sister's hand to collect herbs every day, and went there at a fixed time. Pay homage to your aunt and clean up the weeds next to the cemetery. Gui Gu's life has been so simple in the past few years, and the valley is also calm. However, his uncle has become a little strange. He often engages in slaves with other tribes. He also likes to go out in the middle of the night and come back a long time later, but for Gui Gu, these are things that have nothing to do with him. If it weren't for an accident, his life might go on like this forever.
That accident intertwined the fates of him, Xiao Wu, and the soul boy. The accident originated from Xiao Wu's shocking discovery. That day, Xiao Wu ran to Ghost Gu panting, with a huge expression on her little face. Gui Gu would never forget that expression in his life, so he hurriedly asked:
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Wu's voice trembled and she said:
"In the back mountain...there is a small dark room in the back mountain...there are monsters eating...eating people."
At first, Gui Gu didn't fully understand the meaning of this sentence. It seemed that Xiao Wu encountered something terrible when she went to the back mountain to collect medicine. Gui Gu didn't take it to heart at first, but saw Xiao Wu's expression. , he realized that this matter was definitely not a trivial matter. He first comforted Xiao Wu and sent her home all the way. Then he took the opportunity to come out and go around to the back mountain. He wanted to see what it was that scared his sister like this.
He searched for a long time in the back mountain. When it was almost dark, he found the small dark room that his sister had mentioned. The small dark room was very hidden. Xiao Wu must have discovered it by chance. Looking at the very ordinary little dark room, Gui Gu was very strange, because he had lived in Yaowang Valley for so many years and never knew that there was a house in the back mountain. Gui Gu walked closer and saw that the house was fully enclosed, with no windows and the door was locked. However, Gui Gu clearly felt that the house was definitely not abandoned, because the locks clearly showed signs of being opened frequently.
Gui Gu looked into the house through the crack in the door. It was dark inside, and it was almost dark outside. He couldn't see anything, but as he approached the crack in the door, he could clearly hear something strange coming from inside. The sound was similar to a "creak, creak" sound. Gui Gu took a breath of cold air when he heard it. Thinking of Xiao Wu's words, he immediately felt that the sound was like teeth chewing and tearing something. It was emitted from time to time, and it was very uncomfortable to hear.
Although he was afraid of ghost Gu at that time, he was still very strong mentally as he was precocious. He felt that this matter was particularly strange. Could it be like what his sister said, was there any monster in this house?
He had to figure this out. The sound continued. Gui Gu turned over the lock on the door and found that the lock actually had his uncle's unique curse seal. Gui Gu felt even more strange. His uncle's Why does magic appear here? Could it be that uncle sealed some monster here? But if it was a seal, why did the lock show signs of being opened from time to time?
It was getting dark, and darkness shrouded everything around. The small dark room became more and more elusive under the darkness of night.
In fact, at this time, Gui Gu had already guessed six or seven points, because he had read in the book that there was a very sinister secret method in the quick cultivation method of ghost spirit boy, which was to feed the ghost spirit boy dead bodies every day. In this way, corpse energy accumulates in the body. As long as it can reach a certain amount, Ghost King Tong can quickly achieve success. However, this method is set as a taboo because it is too sinister. The soul boy has not been in the valley for many years on the grounds of cultivation, and his uncle has also been very strange in recent years. He often goes out alone in the middle of the night, and considering what Xiao Wu said before, everything makes sense, but he absolutely can't believe his guess. He doesn't believe that his uncle can be so heartbroken.
He wanted to wait. If his guess was correct, then in a few hours, when everyone in the valley fell asleep, his uncle would definitely come here.
At midnight, a man came to the small black room. That man was the current high priest of Yaowang Valley and Gui Gu's uncle. The man formed a seal and unlocked the door. There was a roar inside, and something rushed out. The thing had messy hair and blood on its face. When it came out, it had a severed arm in its mouth. The ghost. Gu hid in the grass nearby, his eyes widened. He couldn't believe that the beast-like thing was actually his cousin, the ghost boy.
Ghost Gu guessed everything correctly. His uncle really locked his child in this dark little dark room and fed him dead bodies all day long in order to quickly become the Ghost King.
The high priest took out a corpse from his Qiankun bag and threw it on the ground. The corpse looked like a slave. Gui Gu now understood his uncle's purpose of buying those useless slaves to practice evil methods. Killing innocent people and eating the corpses is simply against human ethics. Looking at the ghost Gu, his heart trembled.
As soon as the soul boy saw the body, he immediately rushed towards it. The high priest looked on, sighed and said:
"It's been so long. When will this Ghost King be able to master it?"
That night, Gui Gu stayed aside until dawn. He didn't do anything. He didn't know what he could do. He just watched and took it all into his heart. From then on, there was a scar on Gui Gu's heart that would never heal. It would never heal.
