Chapter 309 Ghost King

Since then, I have never been to Fukuchiyama again. I didn't expect that this old man is still alive. Maybe he is the strange old man who drives away tourists in Miss Fukuda's mouth - he even chases foxes with a cane, and even chases foxes with crutches. Stop talking about people.

Higashikata's face was a bit unsightly. He had starved all the way from Fuzhishan, and because he was driven so hard that he didn't choose the right path, he almost got beaten to death by someone with ill intentions when he walked onto the road.

Later, I ate wild berries along the way and picked up some leftover bread thrown away by tourists before I recovered. I suffered a lot. This part of the tortuous experience is inseparable from Lao Deng.

Just as he was about to say something to him, Dong Yeyu looked at the old man's smiling expression and suddenly froze and discovered a problem.

The old man has only seen his own fox form, and has never seen himself after his transformation. What's more, he has grown for more than ten years after his transformation and has already changed. How can he recognize himself at a glance?

Something's wrong!

Higashino Yu took Jinguji Hiiragi's hand and stepped back: "Be careful, this old man is weird!"

Jinguji Hiiragi was originally wondering how Higashinoyu met this old man. When he heard what he said, he immediately became vigilant. He pressed the seal with his hand, and white talisman paper flew out from the breast pocket of his school uniform.

There are not many, only a few, but they are very spiritual. Three of them fly up and down around Higashino Yu and Jinguji Hiiragi mirror, as if guarding them, and two more sneak into the grass close to the road with a sense of stealth.

It seems that after entering the Avenue of Immortality, Hiiragi Jing's cultivation has improved very quickly.

Dong Yeyu took a look and didn't feel surprised. Although she switched to the Qi refining method he taught her, the ghost-immortal cultivation she had practiced for more than ten years was not abolished - after all, the ghost-immortal path can be regarded as It is a practice method that skips the stage of refining and transforming Qi into energy and directly cultivates Qi into God.

Now after building the foundation and completing the Dao foundation, coupled with the more than ten years of spiritual soul cultivation, she might be able to jump directly to the later stage as soon as she steps into the stage of refining Qi and becoming a god. Human cultivation is inherently faster than that of monsters. He was not allowed to catch up with her before he formed the golden elixir.

But then she will probably encounter the same dilemma as herself. She can't find a way forward, so she can only wait to repay the favor and see if the system can provide a way.

Dong Yeyu sighed in his heart and came out without a knife. With a casual move, several heads of orange-red fox fire floated in the air, seemingly ready to hit him at any time.

The old man burst out laughing when he saw this: "Remember me?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Dong Yeyu who was full of hostility, raised his crutch and pointed it at him, and snorted: "You little fox is too vindictive. I saved your life back then, but instead of thanking me, you have been holding grudges all these years." , quite a bit ignorant."

Save me? Thank you for saving me from being beaten to death.

"Who are you?" Dong Yeyu asked in a deep voice, "Madman? Or a demon?"

"Neither a madman nor a demon, neither a human nor a god nor a monster nor a ghost. What am I?"

The old man leaned on his crutch and looked behind him, with a complicated look on his face, and waved his hand: "Let's go quickly. There are dangers here. It's not a place to stay for a long time. You two are lucky enough not to fall into it. It's a blessing."

Dangerous?

Dong Yeyu frowned: "Teachers, classmates and friends are all asleep, how can I just leave?"

Jinguji Hiiragi on the side nodded slightly, expressing her support for his point of view. She observed the old man and asked coldly: "Is it your fault?"

The old man was silent for a moment after hearing this, then sighed, with a bitter smile on his old face, "This matter does have something to do with me."

"Okay, it's you indeed!"

Dong Yeyu gritted his teeth and immediately planned to settle the old and new grudges together, but he was also a little strange in his heart. He seemed to have neither the madness of a demon nor the insidiousness of a conspirator, which gave people a rather strange feeling.

Maybe this is the reason why a biting dog never barks. Sometimes it's not always true. Some really bad people look like good people.

Just as he was about to move forward, he felt his sleeves being pulled down. Looking back, the cold girl shook her head slightly.

"Ask clearly. Some evil spells need to be eliminated by yourself. Otherwise, even if they are eliminated, the situation of Sanae and the others will not change, or even get worse."

Dong Yeyu thought that this was indeed the truth, nodded, turned his eyes, looked at the old man and said seriously: "Removing the evil spell, I will let you live, otherwise you will not escape death today, I am very powerful now, I will not trick you. "

"I'm sorry, but I can no longer control the situation."

The old man shook his head in shame, found a stone, blew on the ashes, and sat down: "I have been guarding the mountain road all these years, just because I was afraid that someone would accidentally enter a dangerous place and die, but I didn't expect that I lost control in the end."

Can the Riddler die? Sanae now doesn't know whether she's alive or dead. Higashino Yu is really a little anxious, "What's going on? Tell me clearly."

The old man did not answer the question directly. He put his hands on the crutches and looked at the two people and asked, "Do you know where Fukuchiyama was in ancient times?"

"Countryside?" Dong Yeyu is not very proficient in the ancient history of the island country.

Historians here have a bad habit. In China, everything that should be in personal biographies is written into the official history, and some unofficial histories are also adopted, resulting in a history that is bloated, complicated, distorted, and trivial things are mixed in. Major events make up the history of the island nation.

There is no history test on Fukuchiyama, and I don’t know much about it. I only know that Toyotomi Hideyoshi attaches great importance to this place - it was he who advocated building Fukuchiyama Castle into a fortress city.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami pondered for two seconds: "Strategic location. Fukuchiyama Castle is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the terrain is dangerous. Occupying this place can briefly control the Sekigahara area."

"Look, the little girl knows it, but you still have to learn more, little fox."

The old man glanced at Dong Ye Yu, and before he could blush, he continued: "In order to compete for power and land, ancient humans fought countless wars in Fukuchiyama, with more than 10,000 bones buried and resentment rising to the sky. There are often resentful ghosts eating people and evil spirits disturbing them."

"However, these resentful ghosts also gnaw and hate each other, so they are not a big deal. If they were left alone, it would probably be fine."

"Originally? So there was a change later?" Dong Ye Yu asked.

"Listen to me, don't interrupt."

The old man glared at him, and when he saw that he stopped talking with an unhappy look, he continued: "Later, a sword saint died in an ancient battlefield due to betrayal. Although the human soul left, the heavenly soul, earthly soul and even the seven spirits left behind did not dissipate. He was obsessed with hatred and hatred. Coupled with the resentment of the battlefield, he swallowed countless evil ghosts and became a ghost king."

Sword Saint? Dong Yeyu was stunned when he heard this. Could he be talking about Shifan?

"He was a hero before his death, so it was normal for him to become a ghost hero after his death. The evil ghosts have a leader since then. It's just that the ghost king lacked a human soul. Although he was powerful, he couldn't get the Tao. Therefore, he was extremely eager to take back the most important soul that he had left. The ghost soldiers and ghost generals also prepared their troops and wanted to vent all the hatred and resentment of dying on the battlefield. The two hit it off."

No wonder Shifan always loses his memory. It turns out that there is such a reason.

Dong Yeyu was thoughtful. After practicing, he learned some knowledge about human souls, which was similar to the rumors in the secular world in his previous life.

All living beings in the world have three souls and seven spirits. The three souls are divided into heavenly soul, earthly soul and human soul.

The heavenly soul is also called fetal light, which is the root of life given to people by heaven and earth. Once the fetal light disappears, people die. The heavenly soul returns to heaven and earth and enters reincarnation again, but it has no connection with the past.

The earthly soul is also called the refreshing soul. After a person dies, the earthly soul will wander in the cemetery and be worshipped by descendants. If the incense is strong, it may become a blessing soul to protect descendants. If descendants forget their ancestors, it will slowly dissipate under normal circumstances - abnormal circumstances are like Shifan, it will become an evil ghost.

The human soul is different from these two souls. It belongs to "me" alone. It is the root of human consciousness, emotion, and memory. It is the person itself. It is also this soul that walks the road to the underworld.

The seven souls refer to the seven souls of Corpse Dog, Fu Shi, Queyin, Swallowing Thief, Non-poison, Purifying Filth, and Stinky Lung. They belong to the body, coordinate with each other, and control the operation of the human body.

After a person dies, the body dies, and the seven souls also disappear - of course, if it becomes a corpse ghost, the seven souls are still there.

Like the teacher, the heavenly soul and the earthly soul have not returned to heaven and earth, and the seven souls have not dissipated. It is not uncommon. In history, there are often legends of zombies harming people. This is the situation that occurs after the soul of the deceased leaves because of the deep obsession and resentment, and the burial ground has problems.

The old man sighed and continued.

"If these ghost soldiers and ghost generals are allowed to come into the world, the people of the world will not be able to escape death. Later, a god took pity on all living beings, isolated the ancient battlefield from the world with great supernatural powers, and personally sat in to suppress thousands of ghosts. It has been four or five hundred years."

So out of control refers to this?

Higashino Yu frowned: "But what does this have to do with Sanae and the others falling into a deep sleep? If the seal fails, all the ghosts should come out. Could it be that there are nightmares among those ghosts?"

"With all the ghosts coming out, you still have the life to stand here and chat with me?"

Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9Ⅰ书Ⅰ吧 (六\\\九\\\书\\\吧!)

The old man said something. He was always dissatisfied with the fox's previous attitude. He felt that his kindness was not appreciated.

"It's just that the seal is unstable, a little bit of resentment leaked out, and there were some loopholes, which caused the souls of those mortals to be absorbed into it." He made a little gesture.

A little bit? A little bit?

Dong Yeyu looked at the old man suspiciously, "Since it has something to do with you, and you know so much, you must be familiar with that god, right? Go and ask him to help save people!"

"That god has to suppress the resentment and can't spare his hands."

Dong Yeyu: "."

After looking at him, the atmosphere was silent for a moment, and the old man coughed twice: "You kid, don't you expect an old man to fight against the ghost king's army for people?"

Dong Yeyu fell silent. Strictly speaking, this matter has nothing to do with this old man.

On the contrary, he is helping the powerful people in the island country to clean up their asses. He doesn't take salary or money, and works here for nothing to guard the mountain road. He has done his best. He really has no face to ask others to risk their lives to save people.

What's more, he saved his life-with his mediocre cultivation back then, I'm afraid he went into the mountains to deliver takeout to the ghost king.

But why didn't I notice the figure of this old man in the system's gratitude album before?

Dong Yeyu planned to read it when he was free, and find time to repay the favor and end the relationship. The old man was already in his seventies and eighties, and he might die one day.

After listening to this, Jinguji Hiiragi Jing felt that the old man was not a bad person. He took back the talisman, stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Old man, you misunderstood. We don't ask you to risk your life to save people. We just want to ask if there is any way to save people."

"This old man is so old. Huh? Ways to save people?"

The old man opened his eyes wide and observed the two for a moment, then nodded: "There is, but it is extremely dangerous. I advise you to leave."

"As I said just now, my friends and classmates are now in a dangerous situation. How can I just leave? Please tell me how to save people. This kindness will definitely be repaid." Dong Yeyu tied a clear seal on his hand. Jishou said.

The old man looked at his handprints thoughtfully, and smiled suddenly: "You still owed me a life last time and haven't paid it back. What if you die in there?"

Dongye Yu smiled: "Then I can only pay it back in the next life."

"It's quite free and easy." The old man nodded slightly.

"The way to find them is very simple. All you need to do is fall asleep, don't resist, and be absorbed by the ancient battlefield."

"It's difficult just to save people. You need to defeat the ghost king and then assist the gods to purify the battlefield. Your cultivation level is average among monsters, but it's not easy to kill the ghost king. Let me say it first, that ghost king is the real deal. The ghost king is guarded by ghost soldiers and ghost soldiers, which is more difficult to deal with than ordinary demon kings. "

The old man said, looking at Dong Yeyu: "Do you dare to take this trip?"

"Don't you have to go if you dare?" Dong Yeyu sighed, thinking that a Pure Yang Sword should be able to do it, right?

So I asked, "Can I bring a magic weapon in?"

The old man nodded: "Put the magic weapon on your body before falling asleep. If it has been refined for a long time and the breath is integrated, you can naturally bring it in."

"How do I find that god?"

"No need to look for it. Once you go in, He will know that you are coming. After killing the Ghost Queen, he will tell you what to do next."

Higashino Yu asked some more precautions, and then he and Jinguji Hiiragi prepared to go back to the hotel to get magic tools, spells and weapons, and then fell asleep to save people.

As soon as they turned around, the old man stopped the two of them.

"Wait a minute, let's go like this, I'm afraid you two are not enough for the Ghost King to fill his teeth."

You don’t have to speak if you can’t speak.

Dong Yeyu complained in his heart, but the old man in front of him was a benefactor after all, so it was not easy to criticize him. He turned around and was about to say something, but saw the old man clenching his fists mysteriously, "Look at this."

He spread his hands, and a round, crystal-clear spirit bead floated in his hand. It was about the size of a table tennis ball. It contained a terrifyingly rich water element. It was clear and clear, purer than the purest diamond, and glowed with colorful colors in the sunlight. light.

He pushed towards Dong Yeyu, and the spirit beads flew over and floated in front of Dong Yeyu.

"This water spirit bead will help you in times of crisis."

Higashino Yu and Jinguji Hiiragi looked at the spirit beads curiously.

Then Jinguji Hiiragi suddenly remembered that it was a bit rude to say that we haven't exchanged names for so long, so he raised his head and asked: "I haven't asked you your last name yet -"

Halfway through the words, the person was stunned. Only the breeze passed by on the quiet mountain road, the shade of the trees was swaying, and there was no trace of the old man anywhere.
