Looking at the light mask in front of him, Lin Xuan had a solemn look on his face. The higher you go up the library in the Spiritual Medicine Mountain, the more rare the books contained therein become, and there are also many restrictions.
As the young master, he can only enter the fourth level. He doesn't know what is on it, but thinking about it, it must be very important. For example, the raw materials and refining method of Tianchen Pill...
It's not that Lin Xuan is not unmoved, but the time has not come yet, so it's not a good time to alert the enemy. We'll talk about it when we have a chance.
Putting these thoughts behind him, Lin Xuan took out a waist badge from his arms. The top priority was to find a way to restore Yue'er to her original state.
A ray of red light shot out from the waist badge, and the shield trembled, as if the two sides separated, revealing a passage for one person to walk through.
Lin Xuan walked in calmly. It was about a hundred square meters inside, and rows of bookshelves stood neatly there. On the bookshelves, there were hundreds of jade tube slips placed in different categories.
Lin Xuan saw it, but he had no intention of stepping forward to get it. Instead, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a faint sneer.
How could the restriction in this library be only the one in front of the door? The bookshelves in front of them are all traps. As long as someone goes up to look at the jade tube slips, the restriction will be triggered and they will be killed by the array that has been set up.
Lin Xuan patted the storage bag and took out a small flag. However, this was not a beast soul flag. It was just an ordinary spiritual weapon. On the surface of the flag, there were a few small golden words embroidered on it - Spirit
Medicine mountain.
Lin Xuan waved lightly, and a ball of pink mist flew out from inside, circled around the third floor of the pagoda, and then floated away like an inconspicuous corner.
The mist stayed there. After expanding and contracting several times, it suddenly exploded, and then a low bookshelf appeared in front of you. On it were seven or eight jade tube slips.
Although a little missing, these jade tube slips are not trivial. They were all left by ancient monks.
These things are the real classics owned by the library on the fourth floor. Lin Xuan walked over, scanned them with his consciousness, and then took the third one in his hand.
The owner of this jade tube is a ghost monk from ancient times, but what is recorded in it is not his skills, but other secrets related to ghosts.
Lin Xuan sinks his consciousness into it.
…
The sun gradually turns westward, and the day passes quickly.
Lin Xuanfang put down the jade tube slip in his hand and frowned slightly, as if he had encountered something difficult.
Yue'er failed to condense the pill this time, and the damage she suffered was more serious than she imagined. Lin Xuan didn't understand exactly what happened. But there was only one way to restore her to her original state, which was to destroy her.
Kill the ghost king who has been practicing for more than a thousand years, take his inner elixir, and then use this substance to nourish Yue'er's soul.
Lin Xuan sighed and left the library. He returned to his cave and began to prepare for his long journey.
The so-called ghost king, like zombies, is a thing of the netherworld. It's just that zombies are corpses buried deep in the ground, absorbing the yin energy of heaven and earth, and are born by channeling spirits.
There are two reasons for the generation of ghosts. One is that the person had great resentment during his life, so after his death he was unwilling to go to the underworld and re-enter reincarnation.
There is also a type of monk who is pursuing the immortal path, but has not reached the Nascent Soul stage. After the soul was destroyed, the soul escaped and did not seize the body in time.
However, whether it is a mortal or a monk, the soul is stranded in the earth. Unless there is a special encounter, otherwise after a period of time, the soul will gradually lose intelligence until the soul is gone.
It is extremely difficult to become an ordinary ghost soldier, let alone an existence like the Thousand-Year Ghost King. In terms of cultivation, they are even more difficult to deal with than the Thousand-Year Corpse King.
In the past, there was a tragedy in the world of cultivation where a medium-sized sect was wiped out by its men led by the Thousand-Year Ghost King.
It was a sensation at the time. It caused an uproar. The righteous and demonic ways joined forces to encircle and suppress these ghosts. Even many human monks who practiced ghost ways were accidentally killed.
Of course, that was a thing of the past ten thousand years ago. In Youzhou today, it is difficult to see ordinary ghost soldiers, let alone the ghost king.
Except for one place, Ghost Canyon.
Speaking of the Ghost Canyon, it also involves a rather beautiful legend in the world of cultivation.
I don’t know how many years ago, there was a couple of dual cultivators who were very loving to each other. However, due to an accident, the female cultivator passed away and her soul was taken away by a ghost who happened to be traveling in this world.
The male monk was naturally in agony, but his cultivation level was truly astonishing. He had already reached the perfection state of the Nascent Soul stage. After experiencing this blow, he did not become decadent. Instead, he turned his grief into strength, broke through the bottleneck in one fell swoop, and entered the legendary world. The realm of separation and separation.
After entering the clutching stage, one has the ability to break the void and ascend to the spirit world. This male cultivator named Mo Yan did not do this. Instead, he used the power of breaking the space to come to the netherworld and forcibly snatched his lover's soul back.
The result is naturally a failure. After all, the magical powers of the monks in the separation and union period are indeed amazing, but there are terrifying existences at the level of ghosts and immortals in the Netherworld. How can they tolerate outsiders causing trouble?
Mo Yan saw the soul of his lover, but was unable to rescue her. His efforts failed, and in anger, Mo Yan chose to self-destruct.
The terrifying power caused a passage to be blown up between the Netherworld and the human world. Countless mists that originally only appeared in the Netherworld poured out, and some ghost kings and ghost soldiers escaped. Although the ghosts and immortals in the Netherworld He quickly used his magical powers to seal the entire gap again, but the mist and the ghosts that escaped settled in the human world.
The mist is not originally from this world. Wherever it passes, no grass grows. Mortals and livestock will turn into white bones if they enter it. Even monks are very afraid of it. In addition to the ghost king who escaped, the ghost soldiers are also very powerful.
Gradually, all the mortals moved to the land with a radius of hundreds of miles, and the monks could not pass there, and it became the Netherworld Kingdom in the human world.
Fortunately, the ghosts inside were killed several times by the monks when they went out to harm people, and they learned well and understood that this world is not a place where they can do whatever they want, so the two parties formed a tacit understanding, and ghosts rarely come out to harm people. The monks will not attack there, and the two sides have reached a restrictive balance.
That's the Ghost Canyon.
In addition to the ghosts that escape from the underworld, occasionally ghosts from the mortal world also gather there. Firstly, they can avoid the killings of the monks, and secondly, they can practice much faster in the mist.
Lin Xuan once read about the Ghost Canyon in a miscellaneous book, but he didn't care about it at the time. It had nothing to do with him anyway, but now it has become the hope for saving Yue'er.
