Volume 1 Rebirth of Luoxia Chapter 48 Seizing the House
Su Ruxue was a little confused and said pitifully:
"What is ghost blowing the lamp? Why have I never heard of what you are talking about? Xiaolin, don't scare me on purpose!"
Lin Dongjiu almost cried when she heard Su Ruxue's voice, but she also smiled and said:
"It's nothing, I just remembered some past events. Don't be afraid. Just think that I performed a pre-coffin opening ceremony as a sign of respect for the deceased."
Su Ruxue timidly said hello. When she saw Lin Dongjiu was about to open the coffin, she hid behind him and didn't dare to look further.
Lin Dongjiu easily pushed the coffin board with a strange, harsh "squeaking" sound. He said, "Sorry for bothering you," and pushed the coffin board away completely.
Su Ruxue was timid, but couldn't help but feel curious, so he took advantage of the weak light of the candle and took a peek into the coffin.
I saw the corpse lying in the coffin with red face and white flesh, no signs of decay. Under the flickering candlelight, it looked lifelike, as if it was asleep.
But when Su Ruxue thought about how many years this corpse had been dead, she felt that the corpse's face was hideous and terrifying, her stomach was churning, and she didn't dare to look at it anymore.
Lin Dongjiu looked carefully and saw that there was a male corpse lying in the coffin. He was wearing very luxurious clothes, but the sleeves were open and turned up. He must have left in a hurry after touching gold and did not rearrange it.
He swept his consciousness and immediately discovered that the coffin was emitting a brilliance invisible to the naked eye from the inside out. These bits of brilliance condensed into a layer of halo, shrouding the corpse inside.
But before he had time to think about what it was, he was suddenly overjoyed and saw a dark disk-shaped thing at the foot of the corpse, which was the lid of the pocket alchemy furnace.
Lin Dongjiu sighed with emotion that the trip was worthwhile, and hurriedly put away the furnace cover, and found a slightly worn book next to the furnace cover, which was probably another thing left behind by the old Taoist.
He took out the book and took a closer look. On the cover of the book were written the words "Notes on the Detailed Explanation of Alchemy".
After scanning the book with his spiritual consciousness, he roughly understood the contents of the book. It turned out to be a certain alchemist's notes on alchemy experience and alchemy techniques.
He threw the book to Su Ruxue. He didn't have time to read it carefully now. He could only study it in detail after the two of them returned to the clan.
After getting the things in hand, Lin Dongjiu was about to close the coffin lid when he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing past him. The candle light in the southeast corner of the tomb flickered and went out in an instant, and the tomb fell into darkness again.
At this time, the dark clouds outside were blown away by the cold wind, and the moon shone brightly. The moonlight shined right into the hole they had dug and shone straight into the tomb, staining the copper-ink coffin with a layer of frost.
Lin Dongjiu felt the corner of his clothes being pulled, and then heard Su Ruxue's trembling voice:
"Xiao Lin...why did the candle go out!"
Lin Dongjiu calmed down and said with relief: "It doesn't matter, it should be the wind from outside blowing in."
Su Ruxue trembled and said: "Where is the wind coming from? Why didn't I feel it? Could it be you who said... ghost... ghost blow the lamp!"
Lin Dongjiu smiled: "It doesn't matter if a ghost blows out the lamp. The spiritual fire in our monks' bodies is the nemesis of evil spirits. Even those dirty things dare not come out to cause trouble."
Su Ruxue urged: "That's great. Now that we have found something, let's leave this ghost place quickly."
"Congratulations to the host for gaining Yan Shitong's attention, the attention value is +50!"
The sudden sound of the system prompt frightened Lin Dongjiu. He released his consciousness, but did not see a single figure.
"hehe..."
A sneer suddenly came from the coffin, and both Lin Dongjiu and Su Ruxue's expressions changed greatly and they retreated sharply.
"Want to leave? If you dare to disturb my purity, just stay and meditate with me!"
Su Ruxue had already turned pale with fear, but Lin Dongjiu, although still frightened, only said bad luck, secretly thinking that the old man who had fallen into disgrace had indeed not lied to him, and that there was indeed something evil in this tomb.
But Lin Dongjiu knows the truth well and is not afraid.
According to the "Encyclopedia of Immortal Cultivation", there are only three types of ghosts that exist in the world of immortality:
First, it is due to the fact that the soul of a mortal after death has not fallen into reincarnation and remains in the world.
This kind of ghost has no basic consciousness and wanders everywhere. If it appears, even the lowest monk can easily destroy it.
Secondly, after the death of monks below the Concentration Realm, their souls are called spiritual bodies, which are more spiritual than mortal souls and have a certain degree of consciousness during life. Ordinary monks cannot see it and can choose to fall into reincarnation.
, or it may persist in the world of immortality, but it will eventually dissipate over time, and there is not much danger.
And this third type is also the most mysterious and complex one.
This third type is the soul that is sublimated into the soul after the monks have reached the state of concentration.
The Yuan Shen is a mysterious thing. It is said that the Yuan Shen after a major cultivation in the Concentration Realm can take over the bodies of lower monks or mortals and live another life.
However, the newly acquired body is naturally not as good as the foundation of thousands of years of cultivation of the predecessor, which is equivalent to having to start everything over again. Therefore, except in very special circumstances, after a major master of the Concentration Realm, people generally disdain to stoop to an inferior body.
Living on the inside.
Their souls will wander around the world of cultivation, become ghost cultivators, continue to practice, and then look for opportunities to reshape their physical bodies.
Moreover, their souls are also extremely powerful. After all, they are already major cultivators in the Condensation Realm. Their cultivation is rich and their spiritual power is boundless. Even if they become ghost cultivators, it is more than enough to instantly kill a Transformation Infant Realm.
Of course, unless those major cultivators in the Concentration Realm were killed or their lifespan was about to expire, they would naturally not want to become ghost cultivators and continue to live.
But someone who can kill a major cultivator in the Concentration Realm must not be an ordinary person.
At their level, they will not let the enemy's soul escape easily. They will kill them all together, let their souls fly away, and erase all traces of them in the world, otherwise they will leave harm to themselves.
Having said that, I saw a black mist rising in vain from the coffin, and this black mist manifested into a human form under the cold moonlight.
That face looked exactly like the one lying in the coffin.
Lin Dongjiu frowned slightly and clasped his fists:
"We don't mean to offend. I didn't know that my senior is here for retreat. I will also put back his things. I hope that my senior will be noble and let us go for once."
The black mist sneered: "Haha, what you say sounds good."
"A few decades ago, how would I have wasted my energy arguing with you little thieves?
It's just a pity that you came at the wrong time. I have been meditating here for twenty years and still can't see the hope of rebirth. I can only borrow your bodies to live again!"
Lin Dongjiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he secretly scolded this old guy for still bullying the weak and shying away from the strong. Before, when the old man came to dig graves, he didn't dare to rob other people's houses, but when it was their turn to rob the tombs, he couldn't wait.
Maybe the old guy thought that their thin skin and tender flesh were hundreds of times stronger than the old man's dirty body, so he might have chosen to seize them.
However, Lin Dongjiu sneered and said: "Old man, you have to understand that we were at fault for stealing your magic weapon in the first place, so returning the magic weapon to you is out of respect for you, not out of fear of you.
If I read correctly, you are just a spirit body, right? If you were a soul, I might have fled for my life long ago, but a mere spirit body dares to scream with me, do you really think you are not afraid that I will destroy you?"
Lin Dongjiu could see that this black mist and the soul were not the same thing at all. The old man must have used some extraordinary means to preserve the spirit and corpse after his death, using the corpse to nourish the soul and the spirit.
After practicing, he became a special kind of ghost cultivator.
However, this old guy can become a ghost cultivator even though he has no soul, so his methods must be extremely clever.
Moreover, this spirit body is also extremely powerful, otherwise he would not be able to achieve ghost cultivation with his spirit body, and he could even take over others.
The black mist became ferocious, as if it was in pain, it screamed:
"That's right! Even when I was killed, I didn't take the final step to break through the Concentration Realm. I'm not willing to accept it, I'm not willing to accept it!"
His tone was filled with deep hatred and resentment, but his tone changed again:
"However, my spiritual body is not comparable to those of those minor cultivators. You dare to speak nonsense even though you are in the Qi training realm. You are really arrogant!
Today, I will first seize that little girl’s body, and then I will cut you into pieces!”
"Hehe, it's God's pity for me, who actually sent me a seedling of immortal cultivators with excellent bones. It seems that my birth is just around the corner! Everything I lost... must be taken back!"
The black shadow laughed strangely and quickly rushed towards Su Ruxue behind Lin Dongjiu.
Lin Dongjiu was furious. It turned out that this ghost had already taken a liking to Su Ruxue's body. His trace of apology for digging someone's grave suddenly disappeared without a trace.
When Lin Dongjiu saw him charging towards him, he drew his sword and struck. The sword light suddenly appeared, but he saw that the sword light passed through the ghost mist and struck the tomb wall without stopping it in the slightest.
The ghost mist moved like a gust of wind, and before Lin Dongjiu could make any next move, it flew directly from his head and disappeared into Su Ruxue's body.
Lin Dongjiu was shocked and hurriedly checked Su Ruxue's condition, only to see that her whole body was frozen in place as if a immobilizing spell had been cast on her. There was a faint layer of black energy lingering on her forehead, and her eyes became red, without her original agile expression.
Her lips became extremely pale and squirmed again, making an extremely weird tone, as if she was fighting or sneering.
Suddenly, Su Ruxue leaned down, hugging the bag, sweat dripping from her face, and cried out in pain:
"Don't...get...out of my body!"
Lin Dongjiu hurriedly grabbed Su Ruxue's hand and forced her to sit down. A faint white flame suddenly ignited in his hand, and he passed the flame along Su Ruxue's hand.
The pale white flames ignited on Su Ruxue's body, but did not hurt her at all.
Moreover, the flames are quite spiritual, as if they know the suffering suffered by the snow, the fire shoots up into the sky, and the cold white fireworks suddenly turn into pure white color, like a blizzard, reflecting the vastness of the sky and the earth.
The flame was like a swimming dragon, and it immediately split into three parts. One flame rushed into her Dantian, one flame traveled through the eight extraordinary meridians, and one flame disappeared from the heavenly spirit.
The three flames merged in her body, and Su Ruxue's body emitted a milky white light from the inside out. The black energy on her forehead quickly dissipated, and her face gradually returned to normal.
Burn the ghost fire, and the ghosts will retreat!
This is why Lin Dongjiu dared to break in even though he knew that there was something sinister in the tomb.
A scream was heard from Su Ruxue's body, and a black mist rushed out of her seven orifices, and she yelled viciously at Lin Dongjiu:
"Damn it, it turns out you were the one who caused me harm! Then I don't mind taking the next best thing and taking your body. Let's see how you can control that strange fire and force me to come out!"
