Chapter 803 Ghost

After death, do people become ghosts?

Why would Senior Sister Ye ask that?

Could it be...

Mo Hua's expression darkened, he thought for a moment, and then said to Hua Qianqian: "Senior Sister Qianqian, do you still have the relics of Senior Sister Ye Jin?"

Hua Qianqian thought for a while, shook her head and said, "It's hard to say. Sister Jin'er burned herself to death. The whole house was burned down, and nothing was left. Even if there was anything left, it would be collected by the sect and handed over to Ye family."

"No..."

Mo Hua frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly an idea flashed, "Is there a book? Or a jade slip."

"It's all burned too..."

"No," Mo Hua said, "It's not her own, it's the books and jade slips she borrowed from the sect."

Hua Qianqian was startled and understood.

Mo Hua said: "Find a way to check in the Library Pavilion to see if Senior Sister Ye Jin has borrowed any books or jade slips before. There may be some clues in these books and jade slips."

Hua Qianqian glanced at Mo Hua in surprise and admired in her heart.

Junior Brother Mo is really smart.

Hua Qianqian said: "The records of the Library are confidential, but I have an aunt who is an elder in the Library. I can ask her for a favor. At this time tomorrow, I will give you the book and the jade slips. If I can’t figure it out, I’ll come and talk to you.”

Mo Hua nodded: "Okay."

The next day, after finishing the ink painting class, I came to the foot of the mountain early to squat.

After a while, Hua Qianqian, who was dressed in brocade and had beautiful appearance, also came over.

The two of them were sitting side by side under a big tree.

Hua Qianqian handed a storage bag embroidered with flowers to Mo Hua and let out a long sigh of relief:

"It's a bit troublesome... No matter what I say, my aunt just doesn't agree. I have been trying hard for a long time, and I promised her that in this sect's assessment, she will definitely get the 'A' grade in alchemy. Then she opened her eyes and turned over for me. Read the record."

Hua Qianqian pointed to the storage bag, "Sister Jin'er, I borrowed all the Taoist books from the library in the past month and put them in this storage bag."

Then she warned: "These originals cannot be shown to outsiders. Junior Brother Mo, you must not lose them, otherwise it will be difficult for me to explain to my aunt..."

"Yes, senior sister, don't worry!" Mo Hua assured.

Hua Qianqian was relieved, but she still had some doubts, "It's just...are there really any clues in this?"

"I hope so..."

Mo Hua's eyes brightened slightly.

…

Inside the Taixu Gate.

After returning to his disciple's residence, Mo Hua opened the storage bag Hua Qianqian gave him.

This is Baihuagu’s storage bag.

The storage bag is embroidered with colorful flowers.

In the storage bag, there are four Taoist classics and a jade slip.

I opened the ink paintings one by one and looked at them.

What is recorded in the jade slips is a flower cultivation method, which talks about how to cultivate various precious magnolia flowers.

Baihua Valley is named after "flower", and flower art is also one of the monastic courses in Baihua Valley. The female disciples of Baihua Valley are more or less proficient in some flower art.

Mo Hua remembered that Senior Sister Qianqian said that Senior Sister Ye Jin liked magnolia flowers very much during her lifetime, so the flower art she learned was mainly based on "Magnolia".

But he himself knew nothing about flower arrangements.

He doesn't like growing anything that can't be eaten.

Mo Hua turned over the jade slips and found nothing, so he put them down temporarily.

After that, there are several monastic classics.

Some talked about alchemy, some talked about spiritual practice, and there was another one that taught women how to apply makeup and rouge, but the last one was very strange.

The title of the book is: "Hundred Taboos in Practice".

This is a book on Taoism that describes nearly a hundred taboos that should not be touched upon during practice, in order to prevent disciples from making mistakes and falling into the wrong path.

Mo Hua flipped through the book, and then his eyes suddenly stopped on a page.

This page has slight creases.

There were some water stains on it, which looked like tear stains.

There is a line of text near the tears:

"...If a person dies miserably and harbors deep resentment, he can turn into the most ferocious ghost..."

He died tragically, was filled with resentment, and turned into a ghost...

Mo Hua's heart gradually sank.

He thought for a moment, put away the storage bag, took out the Broken Bone Sword, unlocked a small seal, and asked:

"Sword Bones, let me ask you a question."

"Master," Jian Gugu said halfway, he immediately realized that Mo Hua didn't like these two words, so he changed his words, "Young master, you ask."

"How did you become an 'evil'?" Mo Hua asked.

"This..." Jian Gugu said with a sneer, "Don't you all know that I was killed by you, my flesh and blood was gone, my soul parasitized on the broken sword, and turned into a sword demon..."

Mo Hua frowned, "Is your situation... special?"

Jian Gugu's heart trembled, and he felt a little guilty, "Young Master, you mean..."

Mo Hua said: "I have killed other people and seen many people die, but there are very few people who can turn into evil spirits after death."

Among the people seen in Mo Hua, apart from the sword bones, the only one who turned into an evil spirit after death was Zhang Quan, the foundation-building monk who colluded with Lu Chengyun in the corpse mountain of Nanyue City to refine corpses together.

But Zhang Quan was in a special situation.

His entire family is a "ghoul".

He also has a "zombie picture" handed down from his ancestors. After death, the entire family will be included in the picture.

There must be some inheritance here.

It's just that Mo Hua is not a member of the corpse path after all, so he can't tell what evil way the Zhang Quan family has inherited.

But except Zhang Quan, other cultivators are dead once they die.

They will not easily become evil ghosts.

The sword bone is another special one.

It seems that it has been prepared for a long time. Either it can be refined into a life-long magic weapon and become a golden elixir demon cultivator, or after death, the flesh and blood will be gone and it will turn into a sword demon.

At that time in the Ten Thousand Demons Valley, the situation was urgent and Mo Hua did not have time to think about it.

Now thinking carefully, I feel that there is a big problem here.

A "sword demon", even if in his eyes, is like an ant, an evil demon that can be crushed to death, but in a sense, it has also changed from human to "ghost" and avoided the real death of the body and the disappearance of the Tao.

If they can choose this way, then many cultivators will be willing to be "sword demons" after death.

But obviously there is no such good thing.

Most cultivators are all over after death.

There is something wrong with this sword bone...

In the broken sword, the bones of the sword bone are trembling a little.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger.

In particular, this tiger is not only powerful and vicious, but also has a mind close to that of a demon.

Sword Bone spoke in a hoarse voice, trying to remain calm:

"To answer your question, there is no sunlight in the Ten Thousand Demons Valley. I was just in a desperate situation, and I had a fluke mentality, thinking that if there was a chance, I could turn into a sword demon, which would be a way to survive."

"Finally, by chance, I was killed by you, and my soul entered the broken bone sword and successfully turned into a sword demon. I think it was because of your good fortune."

"If it weren't for you, I don't think I would have taken this path. Maybe when I broke through the golden elixir, I would have been reduced to ashes and nothing would be left..."

Sword Bone flattered Mo Hua silently.

Mo Hua's eyes were somewhat intriguing, but he didn't ask more questions, but said:

"Do you know... how can a person become a 'ghost'?"

Sword Bone didn't want to answer.

It didn't know how much Mo Hua knew about this sneaky way. It was afraid that if it let it slip, Mo Hua would notice something.

But it obviously couldn't say nothing.

Jian Gutou paused slightly, and then slowly said:

"Due to special circumstances, the cultivator lost his physical body, but his spiritual consciousness remained. Over time, he would become a ghost."

"Ghosts covet human bodies, especially the bodies of close relatives."

"If there are no close relatives, then teachers, fellow disciples, fellow Taoists, etc., all those who are related to it and have its memories, will become its bait."

"It will parasitize on these people and devour their spiritual thoughts. After eating them, it will find the next host and continue to eat."

"And the person parasitized by the ghost will also change his temperament and become crazy. Once the ghost devours his spiritual consciousness, the person who is parasitized will die..."

...

Jian Gutou finished these words with some trepidation.

Mo Hua nodded slightly.

These words of Jian Gutou are similar to those of Huang Shanjun.

"Are there any special circumstances?" Mo Hua asked again.

"Special circumstances?"

"For example..." Mo Hua thought of the sentence in "One Hundred Taboos of Cultivation", "If a person dies tragically, he may become a fierce ghost if he carries a heavy grudge..."

Death tragically...

Jian Gutou's expression froze, and he nodded, "Yes."

It thought about it, and then said truthfully, "Everything has exceptions, including the way of ghosts. Some people cultivate the way of ghosts and are willing to be ghosts; some people's bodies perish, and they have no choice but to become ghosts; some people have bad luck and are parasitized by evil things, becoming ghosts..."

"But these are all general circumstances."

"The extreme case is 'tragic death', where the cultivator suffered great torture and pain during his lifetime, and had great grudges and hatred in his heart. After such a tragic death, he will become evil ghosts, fierce ghosts, fierce ghosts, fierce ghosts, and other fierce ghosts."

"This kind of fierce ghost is much stronger than ordinary evil ghosts, and its grudges are also very heavy. It is even more terrible when it kills people."

Mo Hua frowned.

Huang Shanjun seemed to have never mentioned these things.

He turned his head and silently glanced at the broken white-bone sword in his hand.

This sword bone seems to know a lot...

"Okay, it's none of your business."

Mo Hua said, and then he completed the God Locking Formation and sealed the sword bone again.

In the white-bone sword, the sword bone breathed a sigh of relief.

But Mo Hua's eyebrows were shrouded in a layer of worry.

"Not good..."

If this is true, Sister Ye Jin thought that after a tragic death, she would be resentful and turn into a ghost, so she set fire and burned herself alive.

She endured such pain just to turn herself into a fierce ghost.

But turning into a ghost is not that simple.

If she didn't turn into a fierce ghost, it would be fine. If she really turned into a fierce ghost, I'm afraid she would "eat" people.

And she didn't die in the Ye family, but in Baihua Valley.

In Baihua Valley, there are all her fellow sisters who have a relationship with her.

Even if she didn't want to, driven by the instinct of the evil spirit, she would start to live in the body and seek spiritual consciousness to devour.

It is even possible that she is already "living" now...

Mo Hua looked solemn.

...

The next day was the ten-day holiday.

Mo Hua made an appointment with Hua Qianqian and told her about the matter.

He didn't say anything sneaky, just said:

"Senior Sister Ye Jin's death was a little strange, and the remaining resentment was very deep. I'm afraid it will breed evil thoughts. There may be some terrible things happening in Baihua Valley..."

Originally, Mo Hua thought that he would have to spend more time explaining.

Who knew that Hua Qianqian's face turned pale when she heard it, and she said in a trembling voice:

"Yes, Junior Brother, you are right!"

Mo Hua's heart sank.

Hua Qianqian added: "These days, the sisters who have a good relationship with Sister Jin'er always feel uneasy. Occasionally they have nightmares at night, dreaming of Senior Sister Ye Jin who has a pale face and bloodless eyes. Wu Shen just looked at himself quietly and said things like 'It's so dirty' and 'I can't survive'."

"In a moment, the karma in the nightmare will be on fire."

"Sister Jin'er was standing in the sea of ​​fire, burned beyond recognition, like a monster..."

Hua Qianqian's expression was one of fear and heartache.

Mo Hua felt heavy, and sure enough, the situation was already a bit serious.

This sign may already be a precursor to turning into a fierce ghost.

Hua Qianqian glanced at Mo Hua and couldn't help but ask:

"Junior Brother Mo, did something happen to sister Jin'er?"

"It's hard to say now..."

Mo Hua sighed.

There are currently few clues, so he can only guess.

What is the truth? He has not seen it with his own eyes, so he is not sure yet.

Mo Hua hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Sister Qianqian, can you... take me into Baihua Valley to have a look?"

Hua Qianqian was stunned, shook her head and sighed:

"The rules of Baihua Valley are very strict. All male cultivators are prohibited from entering."

"Are there really no exceptions?"

"No..." Hua Qianqian said.

"All right."

Mo Hua was a little disappointed.

It seems that we can only think of other ways.

For example, calling out all the disciples of Baihua Valley who are familiar with Senior Sister Ye Jin?

Especially, having nightmares about Senior Sister Ye Jin...

While Mo Hua was meditating, Hua Qianqian secretly looked at Mo Hua, her eyes flickering, and her heart couldn't help but beat.

"Actually...it's not impossible..."

Hua Qianqian whispered.

"What?" Mo Hua was a little surprised.

Hua Qianqian's eyes wandered over Mo Hua's face. In the end, she couldn't suppress the throbbing in her heart and whispered:

"Junior brother... put on the Taoist robe of Baihua Valley, and I will take you in."

Mo Hua was startled, looking shocked, and immediately refused:

"No, no!"

Absolutely not!

How could I, a majestic man and a young senior fellow from Taixu Sect, wear the Taoist robe of Baihua Valley?

Hua Qianqian was surprised when she said this.

Then she immediately realized that this might be the only opportunity in her life, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If you miss it this time, I'm afraid it will never be possible to realize your wish in the future.

"Just put it on and sneak into the valley." Hua Qianqian said.

At least let yourself take a look at Junior Brother Mo wearing the Baihua Valley Taoist robe.

He refused to do the ink painting even to death, and said sternly:

"No, it just won't work."

"All right……"

Hua Qianqian felt regretful when she saw Mo Hua's firm attitude, but had no choice but to give up, "How can we investigate the matter about sister Jin'er?"

Mo Hua thought for a while and said, "Can you call out all the senior sisters who have had nightmares and let me see them?"

Hua Qianqian looked embarrassed, but still said: "I'll try, but time is a bit tight, and the sisters are busy, so they may not be able to shout out during this break."

"Well," Mo Hua nodded, "Thank you, Senior Sister."

After that, Hua Qianqian returned to Baihua Valley.

Mo Hua was still thinking about Ye Jin, but as he thought about it, he suddenly realized a problem:

It seems useless to call out these senior sisters.

Human consciousness is sealed in the sea of ​​consciousness.

The sneaky invasion also invades the sea of ​​consciousness.

He couldn't "leave his soul out of his body", and his consciousness couldn't leave his body. If Sneaky didn't suck him in, he could only watch, and there was nothing he could do.

As for the sword bones...

In this case, the sword bones are useless.

Moreover, it is a sword demon, so it is best not to show its face in front of others.

The more troublesome part is that Senior Sister Ye Jin died in Baihua Valley. The place where she died is the place where the most resentful ghosts turn into ghosts.

If the "source" is not solved, even if you help several senior sisters get rid of ghost dreams, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and will not solve the problem.

Mo Hua had a headache.

During his break, he thought about it for a whole day, but there was still no way.

Towards the evening, Mo Hua hesitated again and again, and finally sighed deeply, and sent Hua Qianqian a message as if he was resigned to his fate:

"Senior sister, can you really sneak into Baihua Valley by wearing the Taoist robe of Baihua Valley..."
