In Yu Ci’s impression, the lighting in Yin Cave City is very distinctive.
Because it was underground, lighting should be a very important matter. Along the way, he saw at least three light sources. One is a light ball suspended in a high dome, which is blazing white in color and can illuminate several miles in radius. Because of its distance and height, the light and shade are different, forming patches of light that reflect the strange lights below; the other light source is an inlaid light. The bright stones on the cave wall are dotted with stars, which look like a starry sky from a distance. They are very gorgeous, but the light is soft and moderate, making the body feel comfortable. As for the last one...
Yu Ci stood on the side of the road for a long time without seeing where the light source was. It seemed to be natural skylight, shining down from the light gray rock formations. If it were not for the strong contrast at the junction of the two light sources, Maybe he really wants to ignore the past, but there is still Wanquan beside him. He asked:
"What's going on here?"
Wanquan is still struggling in his heart. He has not and cannot refuse Yu Ci's invitation. Even if Yu Ci has a good temper, there is still Master Hong in the shadow! That big boss is the foreign affairs director of Dazhuitang in the city. Normally, he is in charge of the power of life and death in Yin Cave City. Others are humble, but in Hongyafang...
At this time, Yu Ci's question came over. He was stunned, said "Uh-huh", and said with a smile: "Senior, this is the real circle of cultivation."
On the way here, Wanquan had already told Yu Ci about the general structure of the Yin Cave City.
Like all great cities, Hell City draws clear lines between strong, weak, rich and poor. Just like where Yu Ci is now, the northwest corner of Yin Cave City, known as the "True Cultivation Circle", is where those powerful or powerful monks live. Next to the "True Cultivation Circle" is the commercial zone created by big merchants such as Suixin Pavilion and Maritime Chamber of Commerce. From there, it becomes increasingly chaotic and disorderly as it moves toward the southeast. At the edge of the area, it falls into complete disorder.
The three types of lighting that Yu Ci just saw are the simplest way to distinguish the three types of areas.
Wanquan forced himself to calm down and was about to explain further when he saw the figure in front of him and quickly changed the subject: "Senior, the man in plain robe in front is the person who requested the request. His surname is Guo Mingtang. There are people in the circle. The title of 'White Shirt'..."
The two of them came to the true cultivation circle precisely for the job of "summoning souls and catching ghosts" requested by Yu Ci. This kind of work is a bit uncommon in the spiritual world, but it is not without a market. It just doesn't appear often. As long as you are willing, it is not difficult to find it.
However, from a professional perspective, Wanquan still has some doubts. In his opinion, this kind of work is a bit too sensitive... just like now.
Guo Tang, a man in plain robes, was introducing the situation to Yu Ci: "When my tutor was doing evening lessons the night before, for some unknown reason, he suddenly fell into misfortune. His whole body was intact and there were no scars. It was just his soul that left his body. It happened strangely, so I asked an expert to come. Find out."
While they were talking, they had already arrived in front of the victim’s residence. There is a circle of houses around this place, which are not small in size and quite exquisite. However, Master Guo Tang, who has the highest status, lives in a cave on the cliff dug behind the house. Yu Ci saw many similar situations along the way and was quite curious. But now was not the time, so he suppressed his curiosity and followed Guo Tang into the cave.
The cave was originally quite spacious, but with more than twenty people in it, it was already a bit crowded. When Yu Ci came in, there was a slight commotion inside. Yu Ci glanced at it and knew that it was the person who was panicking and thought that the person whose soul had left his body was the backbone of the group of people.
"Sir, please!"
Just now Guo Tang asked about Yu Ci's name. Yu Ci remembered Wan Quan's "nickname" before and casually took the name "Chasing Soul", which made Guo Tang and Wan both dumbfounded. It’s hard to address Tang, so I just vaguely call him sir.
Yu Ci arrived at the couch where the original owner was meditating and saw the target of his spell at a glance. Wanquan had already given information before. This person was the leader of a small sect in the city, known as "Zhou Guishou". Although the sect was not big, he was at the beginning of Huandan cultivation, and he had some status in the city.
However, at this time, Zhou Gui was sitting on the floor with his hands crossed, his face turned blue, his breathing was cut off, and he had no signs of life, which was a sign that he had been away from the soul for a long time.
While Yu Ci was looking at it, Guo Tang asked cautiously from behind: "Senior, do you want a magic weapon, a spiritual object, an incense case, or something like that?"
They are all cultivators, and they also have concepts about souls. Everyone knows that weak or injured souls are the most inhospitable to Yang Qi. Generally speaking, the soul-calling spell requires clearing the place, but Yu Ci did not He shook his head, seemingly having no inhibitions.
Guo Tang couldn't help but glance at Wan Quan. He didn't know Yu Ci, but he knew Wan Quan, a slightly famous Yaman. Wanquan has a good reputation, but sometimes he is assigned by the big shots to do dirty work...
After all, he just doesn't have much confidence. Although Yu Ci has a beard, his face still looks relatively young. Moreover, he has just come down from Black Sand City. He is wearing a cloak and is dusty. He looks more like a ranger than a proficient soul. An expert in divine arts, that is, his cultivation level can still suppress the situation, so that he dare not doubt and offend.
Yu Ci looked at the man on the bed, and then looked around a little, and he looked decent. However, his next movements were too casual: he clenched and released his palms, as if he was grabbing something, and then slapped Zhou Gui on his chest.
"That's it."
"Huh?"
The confused and confused mood passed. Everyone in the room was a little hesitant, but they were afraid of Yu Ci's cultivation and did not dare to say anything. They were cursing in their hearts. Just two postures like this are worth three hundred dragon palaces. Baby?
They were dissatisfied, and Yu Ci also shook his head in his heart: It's still so far behind, how difficult is it to have a true talisman of seeds!
At this time, the atmosphere in the cave was also noticed by him. He was familiar with the world. He quickly understood it and didn't care. He smiled dumbly and said: "You see what use I am..."
While talking, there was a sudden commotion in front of the bed: "Master's forehead..."
What?
Before anyone else could see clearly, the room was already filled with a dark wind, and it was as dark as a hell. The majestic negative spiritual pressure spread from the bed, instantly penetrated the outer wall, and spread to a wider area.
Everyone in the room was stunned. From behind, Guo Tang looked past Yu Ci and stared at him before he understood what the cry just now meant. At this moment, a bead of bright light was condensing on his master's forehead, twinkling like a star, and the light gradually grew stronger. Finally, it seemed like a fire was ignited, but it did not burn the flesh, but penetrated into the brain.
"Huh..."
A faint mist came out from between Zhou Guishou's mouth and nose, and he breathed a little. And his eyes were half closed, as if he was about to wake up!
The whole room was in an uproar: He was alive!
At this moment, Yu Ci said calmly: "This is just a gathering of some remnant souls, and some basic consciousness. In fact, the soul of Zhou Clan Master has already been shattered. It's just the vicious thoughts that remain, which keeps him alive. ”
Guo Tang stared blankly for a long time before remembering to ask: "Then, then..."
"I can't stop it."
After saying that, Yu Ci nodded at him and stepped out of the cave. But he didn't go far, Guo Tang ran after him, and called his senior like Wanquan: "Senior, senior, junior, I don't know something. Master, he looks like this, he must not have gone crazy on his own!"
"I am only responsible for summoning souls. The details are another business..."
Guo Tang felt that this was an extra step, but he did not hesitate and asked Yu Ci to return immediately. At this time, Wanquan already felt that something was wrong, and was a little worried. If this man agreed immediately, something might happen.
But Yu Ci was more measured than he thought. He looked at Guo Tang: "Are you sure you want to know? Do you have the ability to know?"
Before Guo Tang made a decision, he had already walked away with a smile: "I won't take this business."
Guo Tang stood blankly at the street corner like a dumb bird, watching Yu Ci go away, but in the end he said no more.
Wan Quan sighed secretly and hurriedly followed. In his opinion, Yu Ci's choice was indeed smarter. It was a big deal no matter what if it involved the life or death of an elixir-returning cultivator like Zhou Guishou. When Yu Ci chose this business, he felt it was inappropriate, but he was too worried and did not dare to persuade him. Now that Yu Ci can stop in time, even if it is not so neat, it makes sense...
He took two quick steps and wanted to talk to the patron again, but when his eyes moved to the other person's face, he was suddenly startled. I saw that the face of this senior with a half-covered beard was filled with a layer of blood at some point, as if dyed with red vermillion, which was very eye-catching.
"Isn't this tiring..."
Wanquan waved away this unreliable thought. Although Yu Ci's face was red, it was definitely not the fluctuation of energy and blood caused by exhaustion. Now his face was almost glowing, but it was more like a unique method. It is really impossible to judge even with my complete and meager knowledge of spiritual practice.
Go back and ask Sister Lu...
After witnessing Yu Ci’s miraculous method of summoning souls, Wan Quan was even more upset. According to legend, these monks who are proficient in mind and soul magic may have the ability to see into people's hearts. Can what he does really be hidden?
At this time, he heard the man sigh softly.
"Senior?"
"I heard you talk about the true cultivation circle before, and I thought it was a pure place, but I didn't expect it to be uneasy. If you want to find a place in the Yin Cave City where you can practice peace of mind, it doesn't seem to be that easy."
Wanquan couldn’t figure out Yu Ci’s thoughts, so he could only respond carefully following the words: “If senior wants to be pure, he really has to practice in the true circle. Of course, it’s not the periphery where Zhou Guishou is, but Bai Bai. It’s better to go around the Wind Tunnel, that is, the central area of the True Cultivation Circle..."
"Hundred-turn wind tunnel?"
At this time, the redness on Yu Ci's face had faded, and his complexion returned to normal, and he was looking at it with interest. Wan Quan responded with a smile and was about to say more when he saw the other person turned away again and looked at a location in the distance.
"I wanted to test the water, but my shoes got wet...I haven't interacted with people for more than two years, and my brain is a bit stiff."
Wan Quan felt confused, but when he followed Yu Ci's gaze, he took a deep breath: "Master Su?"

I didn’t expect that the effect of howling was so good, the red ticket No. 4 actually jumped to the top ten. It’s a pity that I promised my book friends that I won’t annoy people by asking for votes frequently. In the future, I can only hope that everyone will develop a good habit of reading and voting. grateful!
