136 Chapter 136
β, 0539_resentment
After waiting for a while, Chai Huou asked me, "Why don't you beat him yet?"
Me: "The rant of the loser is a compliment to the winner." His slander was not enough to anger me. β
Chai Huou: "I don't mean to provoke, I mean, if you don't hit him until he collapses, he won't answer well." β
Oh, you Sword Sect are all interrogating like this, our Yunxia Sect ...... I don't know how the interrogation worked. However, if you want to beat a person to the point of collapse, it seems that you have to hit those places that hurt a lot......, right? I have always been a good citizen.
So I decided to continue with the Fox Fake Tiger Mighty method: "What exactly did you get from them in Chai Du?"
The captive snorted again with contempt, looking particularly stiff.
Chai Huou: "You don't need to ask him this question, I can answer you." What he got was resentment. β
Me: "Resentment can strengthen the soul to a certain extent, but isn't that for ghosts? When Chai Du used the incense burner, there were ghosts around the victim, but the ghost ......" By the way, Chai Du must have resentment, but the reason why Ghost Zhuozhu, who is easily affected by resentment, is only affected by Reiki - negative Reiki is also Reiki, and it has not yet reached the level of resentment - Ghost Zhuozhu, who should be very sensitive to resentment, did not follow the resentment to find Chai Du, because Chai Du's resentment did not emanate at all and was directly sucked away.
Broadly speaking, resentment is also a branch of Reiki, but just as ghosts and spirits have become two types of beings, if a monk does not pay special attention to the presence of Reiki when identifying Reiki, he will also miss the existence of resentment, especially a small amount of resentment that does not involve life and death.
After being reminded by Chai Huou, I tried to observe the captives from the perspective of resentment, but I saw a carrion corpse, the pungent breath came to my face, and the nausea caused by the fainting that I had just suppressed came up again.
Chai Huou shook his head: "Pampered." β
You ......, "Is your sword intent straightened out by the smell of corpses?"
Chai Huou: "Who knows. My sword intentions are chaotic, and there are many reasons for chaos, and there are many reasons for shun, and even I am not sure which reason is working. Anyway, chaos will not be complete, and obedience is inevitable. β
Is it natural to get used to it?
βγ0540_ can be guessed approximately
After seeing the actual appearance of the captive, I completely lost the mind to interrogate him - no wonder Chai Huou threw it to me without hesitation, it turned out that it was not just the inertia of the Sword Sect that was troublesome at work.
And even if you don't interrogate, looking at the captive like this, you can roughly guess what's going on:
If you want to take a shortcut in cultivation, it is nothing more than taking drugs and forcibly infusing external spiritual power. Take medicine that directly improves cultivation and medicine that speeds up cultivation, but this kind of medicine, if it is a regular commodity, it is very expensive. So he chose to recharge himself, such as absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy in the spirit stone. But spirit stones are also very expensive. Then he used his crooked brain to absorb spiritual power from the living.
He has a period of Qi training, and only mortals can start steadily. Special magic weapons, rudimentary magic circles, and mortals with violent mood swings all together form a shortcut to his recharge.
The result may be that there is a problem with the magic circle, or there may be a problem with the magic weapon, or it may be that there is a problem when he uses the spiritual power in his body, in short, what he absorbs is not spiritual power, but resentment.
Resentment is the food of evil ghosts, and even ordinary ghost cultivators dare not touch this thing unprotected, because they are too easily emotionally infected. But the captive didn't notice that he had sucked it wrong at first, and when he did, his body had been eroded by resentment and began to rot, but his soul became more and more solid, as if it was more powerful.
To put it simply, his soul began to exist independently of his body, becoming more and more like a ghost.
At this time, he actually couldn't take it anymore. His body is basically dead, and he can only survive if he completely becomes a ghost cultivator. It was at this time that Zhang Mi and I got the incense burner, and directly cleaned up all the extended branches of the incense burner, breaking the connection between the incense burner and him, and breaking his absorption circle.
With his ability, he didn't even care about refining another incense burner, and he didn't have much spare energy to take care of the monks who might follow the incense burner to clean up his family, so he hastily moved to another vertex position that formed a triangle with the remaining two magic weapons, and used himself as a formation magic weapon, using his own resentment to maintain the magic circle while absorbing resentment from the magic circle.
The resentment that can be absorbed in this way is greatly reduced, but at least it can still be absorbed. The captives planned to deal with it in this way for a while, survive the backlash of the incense burner being robbed, and restore the power to refine new magic weapons.
It's a pity that he recovered too slowly, and he was directly blocked by me and Chai Huou.
βγ0541_Become a ghost
Fortunately, I came with Chai Huou this time, and if I were alone, I would have something wrong if I was unprepared for resentment. In addition to the Death Gate, the monks all use spiritual power to carry it hard in this regard, and if they don't carry it to the point, it is not uncommon for the power of the Qi training period to damage the foundation building period.
In the final analysis, there is still too little practical experience. I reflect.
"I'm going to get the other two artifacts back," I said to Chai Huou, "I'm tired of Chai Senior here later." β
Chai Huou: "Your speed is too slow, I'll go." Here you try to ask him again what he is hiding. For example, did he really refine these three magic weapons himself, or did they steal them from someone or something?"
The captives locked in the corner trembled, and they had no intention of despising me, their desperate eyes wandering between me and the wood-amber gull.
As the wood gull quickly disappeared, I looked at the captive and asked, "Do you want to say it?"
The captive's voice seemed to be leaking: "If I say it, can you let me go?"
Me: "In principle, we should have killed you." But if you don't kill anyone, you can be spared. But you're about to suffer two more times of losing your magic weapon, even if we let you go, will you be able to live?"
The captive actually laughed: "I have mastered the method of turning into a ghost, after getting rid of the shackles of **, although there will be a period of weakness, I can live forever." Ghosts are the most perfect and powerful existences. β
Wow, this old-fashioned, worthless theory, how can anyone still say it in a truthful tone?
Captive: "Ghosts are the most perfect cultivators, and the evidence is that ghosts can cultivate." β
Nonsense, if you can't cultivate, you can't become a ghost.
Captive: "Including mortals without spiritual roots, if they can turn into ghosts, they can cultivate, practice qi, build foundations, and even golden pills." β
That's because if they can become ghosts, they must have a very heavy obsession before they die, or hate, or love, in short, they are extremely reluctant, unwilling to leave, unwilling to let their consciousness disappear. This kind of reluctance to become a core-like thing, this core will allow the aura to operate around it, forming spiritual power, just like the attraction of the spiritual root of a living person to the aura. In other words, those who can become ghosts have already changed to have spiritual roots.
You turn cause and effect upside down, you know?
Captive: "I'll be a ghost, I'll be strong." At all costs. β
If you don't care about you at all your own costs, but you deliberately make others pay a heavy price, then it won't work.
β, 0542_ anti-phagogy
The captive was happily looking forward to the future after death, and suddenly spit out, not blood, not digestive residue...... Maybe it contains those, but it's more of minced meat, crushed bones, his own. The rot on his body was also much heavier.
It seems that Chai Huou has already recovered a magic weapon. This action is indeed fast enough, but is he a hard robbery? It's not good to scare mortals? Mortals warn the monk for this, although the monk is not in pain in most cases, but he will still be punished after returning to the sect.
In this way, the number of defendants of the Sword Sect is indeed the highest among the seven, and the only one who can be compared to them in this regard is the Peep Heavenly Gate, who is often implicated in the reputation of the impostor god stick.
There was an incomprehensible sound in the captive's throat, and I couldn't make out the expression on his tattered face, let alone the meat, he wasn't even very shaped now, and it was very likely that when Chai Huou retrieved the next artifact, he would die, or, as he expected, become a ghost.
I took a few steps back. Although I have gotten used to the visuals and the stench, it is still very unpleasant. This is an underground parking lot, and after Chai Huou threw the captives in the corner, he set up a magic circle here to isolate the five senses of mortals, but he was very coarse, so when I heard someone coming down, I added a shield.
Whether it is Chai Huou's magic circle or my magic weapon, the shielding range and effect are limited, when the foul smell of the captives mixed with resentment wafts away, I'm not sure if I can completely lock these smells within the shielding range, after all, some mortals are more sensitive, or more coincidental, such as Tan Mu accidentally broke into the magic circle, and accidentally found something here......
What does this scene look like? Murder and mutilation?
Whenever a mortal passed by, I feared that I would hear screams of terror, but as it turned out, I thought too much about it until the captives were once again rotting more thoroughly, and the mortals who came and went remained unaware.
And this captive, whose name I don't even know, opened his mouth after a sudden shock, but he neither vomited nor made any more sound, and his whole body collapsed rapidly, and his bones lost their supporting effect, becoming powder, mixed into mud, and slowly flowing from that corner.
β, 0543_mutation
I used my spiritual power to isolate the violent stench from my side, but I was worried that if I isolated it too thoroughly, I would not be able to react in time when something happened, so I still had to open a crack in the spiritual barrier to force myself to keep my attention to the stench and pay attention to whether the smell had any sudden changes. Also pay attention to the flesh and mud flowing on the ground for any anomalies, and pay attention to the captive ghosts that should have turned into ghosts but have not appeared for a long time.
After a while, the ghost still did not appear, the stench did not intensify, the mud flowed to the limit, everything seemed to have regained calm, I took out the magic weapon and prepared to take the mud and the stench back to the Yunxia Sect to hand over the task, by the way, to see if the Dan cultivators had any need for waste utilization.
At this time, Chai Huou flew back, and from a distance, I heard him roar: "Be careful yourself!"
...... As soon as this question arose, I heard the scream that I had been worried about for a long time, and before I could turn my head to look, the flesh and mud that swept to the ground out of the corner of my eye suddenly moved again, and in an instant a pattern was drawn on the ground, and then my eyes went black and bright, and the scenery that I saw again changed completely.
From crowded parking lots to empty wilderness.
This is...... Transmission?
I thought back to the pattern made of mud just now, it should be that the circle didn't run, but I haven't seen a circle with the exact same shape, it doesn't exactly match the composition of the teleportation array that I know, but there are some similarities.
The moment the mud moved again, it was also the moment when the shielding circle and magic weapon failed, and I still didn't see a ghost. However, after all, I don't have a 360-degree blind spot line of sight, and the actual contact with the ghost is limited, so it is possible that the ghost appeared and I didn't notice it.
There was a palpable fear in the screams I heard when I left the parking lot, and neither the stench, nor me, nor the mudβwhether it was still mud or moving mud, there was no human form in any way, and it looked a little disgusting at bestβit didn't trigger such an out-of-control scream in an instant, so I guess the ghost appeared, and the image was terrifying, right behind me at the time...... Ouch, goosebumps are up.
I couldn't help but spin around in a circle, and then I hugged the hairball over my shoulder, and let it look behind me to make sure there were no visible ghosts around me before I began to speculate about the current situation.
