Chapter 40 Ninth Grade

The memory crystal is a purple crystal.

Like the things Zhou Heng had drawn before, it exists in his mind.

It can be summoned with just a thought.

After closing the door.

Zhou Heng began to read the information in it.

Then, scenes of light and shadow flew in front of him, and also contained various information such as sound and text.

Since this is only part of Feng You's memory, the information is presented in a somewhat intermittent and incoherent form.

Zhou Heng barely sorted out some clear threads until he had read most of the information contained in this memory crystal, and could connect the messy and intermittent information.

Fortunately, this part of the memory does contain some information about ghosts.

The ghosts in this world are not born from the souls or spirits of people after death as Zhou Heng had thought before. At first, they were "yin spirits" born in the natural yin turbid air.

Based on the law of natural aggregation of yin and yang, this kind of yin spirit will naturally desire to absorb yang energy and devour yang energy.

This is instinct.

It will never fade away.

When they completely devour the first living person, they will have their own intelligence and thoughts, become a real ghost, have different special abilities, and acquire almost immortal characteristics.

However, generally speaking, ghosts in the "yin spirit" state cannot directly interfere with reality. They must attach themselves to people and use their bodies to exert their abilities.

It is not easy for ghosts of the lower three grades to possess living people.

They must first lead out the loopholes in the dark side of people's hearts before they can take advantage of the opportunity and initially gain some control over this body.

At this time, the consciousness of the "host" and the "ghost" coexist, and the power that the ghost can exert will also be limited.

If you want to further control this body, you must fulfill the host's wish.

And this wish is based on the mental loopholes caused by the ghost's possession.

As the wish is fulfilled step by step, the ghost will further suppress the host's will and gradually control this body, thereby exerting a more complete and powerful power.

In this process, the host's mental will may counterattack, causing the mental state of the entire body to lose control and do some strange things.

When the ghost finally devours the original host's will, it will complete the possession and truly control this body, and can fully exert the various abilities that the ghost has.

Possession, control, possession!

This is the whole process of a ghost controlling a body. After completing all this, it can continue to pursue yang energy, devour yang energy, and strengthen itself.

Before the complete possession, although the ghost can still devour yang energy, there will be some loss and it cannot be completely absorbed and digested.

When Zhou Heng read the memory crystal to this part, he couldn't help but think of the two ghosts he had encountered.

One is Yu Shang who possessed Chen Hanyu, and the other is Feng You who possessed Qian Zhanggui.

The former once said that he satisfied Chen Hanyu's wish to obtain a peerless appearance and make all men in the world admire her, which just fits the characteristics of the ghost.

The same is true for the latter.

Due to his incomplete memory, he did not fully understand the specific situation when Feng You possessed Qian Zhanggui.

However, some guesses can be made.

Feng You probably took advantage of Qian's unwillingness and resentment when he possessed the body.

Then, by fulfilling Qian's wish to take revenge on He, Zhao Yuan, and even Liu Changsheng, he gradually took control of this body.

"When Feng You first infected He with ghost energy, he should have only been in the initial stage of possession, so he could only use ghost energy to infect him quietly." Zhou Heng pondered in his heart and said secretly:

"After completing the revenge on He, it should have initially entered the 'control' level, and could exert stronger power and special abilities, and then killed Zhao Yuan to further complete the control.

"Then its inexplicable attack on Liu Changsheng in the end can also be understood. This is not just a simple rebellion, but to fulfill Qian's wish and completely complete the possession. "

Zhou Heng finally sorted out Feng You's seemingly confusing behavior.

This is because it wants to further control the body of Shopkeeper Qian in order to exert more and more complete power.

Everything has a reason.

"However, Shopkeeper Qian should have a stronger hatred for me, so why didn't Feng You attack me first? "Zhou Heng was somewhat puzzled, guessing that this might be because Feng You wanted to save his "delicious meal" for last.

After all, Feng You could not completely absorb and digest his Yang Qi before he completely completed the possession.

As for letting Zhao Yuan write "murderer Zhou Heng" before his death and involving Zhou Heng, it was probably because Feng You suffered the mental backlash of Shopkeeper Qian at that time, so he did such a thing.

Otherwise, Feng You could have secretly fulfilled his wish, developed in a low-key manner, gradually become stronger, made a last wave of blood profit, and then withdraw and fly away.

Of course, judging from the fact that Cheng Jiangjian came so quickly, the mansion owner Wu Zongshan was not a vegetarian, and he probably suspected Shopkeeper Qian from the beginning.

Even if Feng You really wanted to develop in a low-key manner, he might not succeed in the end.

In addition, Zhou Heng learned an extremely important piece of information from the memory that Feng You dropped.

Why did the Zhoutian Xunjie Division and the major forces conceal the existence of ghosts?

Because, the more people in the world know about the existence of ghosts, and the more detailed the information they know, the easier it is for ghosts to be born.

In other words: the more people know about ghosts, the more ghosts there will be!

And the only people in the world below the third rank who can kill ghosts are the people of the Zhoutian Patrol Department.

And the Zhoutian Patrol Department has very few people, and even now there are many places that are difficult to take care of.

If the number of ghosts increases further, it will be a huge disaster.

It is for this reason that there will be such efforts to conceal the information of ghosts, and even the existence of ghosts.

In fact, in theory, it is harmless for a few people to know the existence of ghosts, or even know the detailed information of ghosts.

However, people always have the desire to spread "exclusive information". Often, if one person knows something, it means that ten, hundreds or even more people also know it.

One person tells ten, ten tell a hundred!

If it spreads like this, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Cutting off the source of transmission directly at the source and trying not to let the source of transmission come into being is the most clumsy way, but it is also the most effective way.

However, the governors of various states and counties, the lords of various places, and other forces and personnel who need to assist Zhou Tianxunjie Division in hunting down ghosts, they must know the information of ghosts,

This is unavoidable.

However, since the more people know the information of ghosts, the easier it is for ghosts to breed, why don’t ghosts deliberately spread this information?

Zhou Heng had a question in his mind.

Unfortunately, there is no explanation about this in the part of memory that Feng You dropped.

"Ghosts... evil things..." Zhou Heng muttered silently in his heart.

Now he has understood why both Cheng Jiangjian and Wu Zongshan are extremely cautious in dealing with ghosts.

This world seems to be far from being as calm and peaceful as it seems on the surface.

The first grade of martial arts can be called "the first grade of gods", which is called "sacred".

There is more than one sacred in the world.

But even so, it still failed to completely eliminate the breeding of ghosts.

As for the evil creature, he knew nothing about it.

…

Wu Zongshan is worthy of being the head of a prefecture.

He settled the matter of Zhao Yuan's death within two days.

Manager Qian naturally confirmed the murderer's crime.

Zhou Heng was cleared of all charges.

The truth of the matter was completely buried.

So, after staying at home for two days, Zhou Heng finally returned to the Longxing Martial Arts School that he had been thinking about.

After all, he paid the tuition.

He has been taking leave all the time these days, which really hurts him.

Moreover, it is not a good idea to always practice martial arts in the wild. Isn't the martial arts hall in the martial arts school nice?

"You are working hard to practice the martial arts "Eighteen Styles of Divine Power" [Ninth Grade], proficiency +5."

...

"You continue to practice the martial arts "Eighteen Styles of Divine Power" [Ninth Grade], triggering 'Heaven rewards hard work', proficiency +30."

...

Since Zhou Heng had not had time to tell Lin the news that he had reached the ninth grade, the martial arts hall naturally did not make any follow-up arrangements for him, so he could only practice the few ninth-grade martial arts he had learned before.

The Dugu Nine Swords and other martial arts were not suitable for practice in the martial arts hall.

Although he had practiced the Eighteen Styles of Divine Power to the perfect level and had received the lucky bag reward, as a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder, he always had a mentality that it would be perfect only if his proficiency reached the upper limit.

Even if it was just watching the proficiency increase little by little, it was a kind of happiness and a sense of satisfaction for Zhou Heng.

Practicing martial arts steadily and gradually becoming stronger, this is a normal life!

If it could continue like this, there would be no strange things like ghosts appearing.

This is Zhou Heng's current mentality.

"Hey! You are finally back!" Lin Cang came over. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhou Heng practicing martial arts seriously.

That day Zhou Heng was taken away from the martial arts hall by Meng Xing. He was worried for a while and even went to find the old owner to ask him to speak up for him.

But before the old owner could do anything, news came from the government office in the prefecture that the real murderer had been found and Zhou Heng was just framed and innocent.

This made Lin Cang feel much more at ease, but the dust had not really settled in the past two days, and Zhou Heng had not come to the martial arts hall. He was still a little worried.

Now "seeing is believing", his heart was finally put down.

"Master Lin." Zhou Heng stopped and greeted.

"Well, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your skills have become much more solid." Lin Cang felt that he should praise him first after not seeing him for a few days, and he just saw Zhou Heng's practice, which was indeed very solid.

"Slight improvement." Zhou Cheng smiled, and at the same time was considering whether to tell him about his promotion to the ninth rank now.

"Hiss, you are very confident, kid!" Lin Cang suddenly felt that this compliment, just after they met, might make Zhou Heng complacent, so he said: "Come on, Xiao Zhou, let's play a few more times, let me see how far you are from the ninth rank."

"Ah?" Zhou Heng scratched his head and said with a smile: "Well, I am still far from the ninth rank..."
