Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 35: Phantom Soul Grass (Part 1)
Flying westward along the wasteland for seven days, you can see a huge city.
The city was made of black rocks, and a large amount of black energy lingered around the city. There were heads on the city wall, showing ferocious and painful expressions, flickering on the wall. From time to time, painful and shrill sounds are made, one after another, floating in the air, reaching people's hearts, making people shudder.
In the center of the city is a huge ghost head, with a ferocious image and eyes flashing green, and even just looking at it will make your mind sway. Its big mouth is the city gate for entry and exit, and countless ghosts shuttle back and forth in it.
These ghosts are obviously much more advanced than the lonely ghosts on the plains. Their lowest level of cultivation is above the ordinary, not to mention that they all have their minds opened. From time to time, some ghosts would float over, and there would even be people on horseback, in cars, and people lined up. Just like the human world, it was very lively.
There are ghost soldiers guarding the city gate. Those ghost soldiers are wearing helmets and armor, and they still hold weapons in their hands, but they are mostly rusty and look useless. Despite this, each one of them was majestic and majestic. They stood under the gate of Guishou and shouted majesticly from time to time: "Hurry up, don't wait!"
This kind of underworld language is actually not much different from human language, but it is mostly transmitted in a way that shakes the soul, making a deep impression on people. When it falls into the ears of mortals, it is as if someone is talking to you from the bottom of your heart, thus making you feel Deep fear.
At this moment, two ghost soldiers were shouting at the ghosts entering the city, but they saw a ghost flying from the distance.
When the two ghost soldiers saw him, they knelt down together and said, "I have seen General Morosh."
It is Yaksha who failed to catch Tang Jie before.
The Yaksha ignored the two ghost soldiers and walked straight inside.
There were ghosts coming and going in the city, and everyone bowed their heads when they saw Yaksha. Yaksha walked straight forward until he stopped in front of a mansion. There were two chattering ghosts on duty in front of the mansion. When they saw Yaksha, they bowed and said at the same time: "I have met my young master."
Yaksha Morosh waved his hand: "Get out of here, don't get in the way!"
He has already rushed straight into the house.
"Morosh, why are you so angry today?" Another Yaksha flew into the house and blocked Morosh's way.
Moroch said angrily: "Don't mention it, Morozhi. I came back from a tour seven days ago and suddenly smelled the breath of a stranger. I thought I met someone who accidentally entered the realm of death again, but I didn't expect that it was just a misunderstanding. It’s really bad luck to be happy.”
Yaksha named Morozhi raised his eyes slightly: "Oh? Is this happening? Could it be that someone really came in and you let someone run away?"
Morosh glared at the other party angrily: "If there is someone, he will definitely not be able to escape from my grasp. It was just a misunderstanding."
As he said that, he left.
Mo Luo Zhi watched Moro Shi leave and said to himself: "With Moro Shi's nose, it is not easy to detect errors. Maybe there is a stranger entering the country. If that stranger really exists, then I hid Morosh's glasses, maybe they are still nearby..."
Thinking of this, it suddenly whispered: "Come on."
I saw a cloud of white smoke drifting over, and I knelt down in front of Morozhi. A pale face appeared, but it was the face of a woman, with a face but no body.
This ghost is called Ziying. It is a ghost made of condensed hostility. It is erratic, strange and extremely difficult to deal with.
Mo Luo Zhi said: "Go, leave this place for seven days, and make some inquiries to see if there are any traces of strangers."
The Ziying opened his mouth and let out a silent response before floating away.
——————————————
On the bank of Yanshui River, Tang Jie was sitting on the huge heart of the body of the deity, meditating by himself.
His breathing is long and slow. If you look carefully, you will find that his heart is rising and falling slightly with his breathing. In this breath, you can see traces of blood lingering inside the huge body of the deity, entering Tang Jie's body, moving in and out like little red snakes with the breath, but each time it goes in and out, it becomes smaller.
When it finally disappeared, Tang Jie's body became as red and translucent as a prawn, and it did not gradually disappear until it ran for a long time.
Looking at Tang Jie again, you will find that his cultivation level has been significantly improved.
If daily practice is compared to mountain climbing, where every day of practice is like walking up a step, then Tang Jie is climbing dozens or hundreds of steps at a time, and the speed is outrageous.
Of course, the main reason why it is so fast is that what Tang Jie is absorbing now is his own power, which belongs to the same source. It is like receiving a blood transfusion by himself, without any sequelae at all.
However, my power will be exhausted sooner or later. Although Tang Jie has tried his best to block it, the return to ruins is the general trend of the world. Without human power to reverse it, Tang Jie can only delay and weaken it, but cannot stop it. Therefore, part of the power of this deity is actually being lost every day. Tang Jie has no choice but to work hard to improve and speed up his absorption.
To increase the speed, you need more ghosts and more life energy!
Thinking of this, Tang Jie stood up and finally decided to go to the Valley of Resentful Souls again. After the last encounter, Tang Jie did not dare to go there again to avoid encountering Yaksha again. However, his greed and desire for power forced him to take another risk. Of course, the most important thing is that as his strength has grown again these days, Tang Jie is confident that his vitality will not be leaked again this time when he fights against the resentful soul.
After leaving Yanshui River, Tang Jie came to the Valley of Resentful Souls.
Compared with last time, he is stronger, so his actions are much bolder and more direct. He walked straight towards the dark place and didn't stop until the sound of howling was heard. As expected, a resentful spirit emerged from the darkness.
Tang Jie raised his hand to make a seal, and a Qi Sword Talisman was formed on his fingertips. When he touched it casually, the resentful soul let out a shrill scream, and then used the fog escape method to suddenly appear behind Tang Jie, attacking Touch the back of his head.
However, Tang Jie was already familiar with this skill. At the same time that the resentful soul disappeared, Tang Jie had already made out the magic seal. A sun wheel seal pointed behind him, just as the resentful soul bumped into him, with a finger When you poke it, the sun shines brightly, and the resentful soul is like snow meeting the scorching sun, melting and disintegrating in the scorching sun. No matter how much it struggles and calls, it's all in vain.
After easily disposing of the resentful spirit and absorbing its life energy, Tang Jie continued to move forward. Following the same pattern, several more resentful souls were quickly killed by him. Occasionally, he would encounter multiple resentful souls at the same time. As long as the number did not exceed three, Tang Jie would usually fight one of them. With his current strength, he could deal with no more than three resentful souls at the same time. But if there were more, Tang Jie would have no choice but to run away.
The energy of resentful souls is much higher than that of ordinary wandering souls. While killing, Tang Jie was running the Underworld Secret Art, practicing with great joy. But perhaps because his killing angered the resentful soul, Tang Jie quickly realized that something was wrong.
More and more resentful souls gathered around, gradually changing from appearing alone to appearing in groups of two or three, and then often roaring in groups, with three, five or even more than ten appearing.
Tang Jie knew that this was a resentful spirit and was already alert. Although their intelligence was low, they were not completely incapable of thinking. They had obviously noticed that someone was hunting them. It was just because Tang Jie concealed their vitality that it was difficult to detect, but Therefore, they gather to protect themselves.
Faced with this situation, Tang Jie also knew that today's battle was over and it was not appropriate to take action and could only return.
As I was about to leave, a strange fragrance suddenly wafted over.
The fragrance was astonishing. Tang Jie only took a sip and felt a flower blooming in front of his eyes. He found that he was no longer in the underworld, but in a colorful garden. All the flowers blooming around him were rare spirits. The medicine, the sacred grass of the heavens, and even the clones stand aside, reuniting with oneself, achieving the divine body of the great road, and creating a boundless foundation.
This is the scene that every man dreams of. At that moment, even Tang Jie was in a trance.
But then he woke up and realized that he was probably in an illusion.
Biting his tongue, he found that he had not woken up. Tang Jie was not in a hurry. After thinking about it, he activated the Four Nine Mantras and shouted: "Evil monsters, retreat quickly!"
The sight of Tang Jie suddenly dispersed, and all the magnificent scenery disappeared. Tang Jie found that he was still on the wasteland of the underworld, and a resentful soul was touching his neck. Tang Jie raised a shield of Gang Qi with his hand and used the simplest and crudest method to directly kill the resentful soul, while a cold sweat broke out in his heart.
Not to mention how powerful illusions are, real illusions can make people addicted to them, making it difficult to extricate themselves, and even more difficult to break, but they are usually close to each other for thousands of years, that is, no matter how many years in the illusion, the outside world is only a moment. The illusion in Tang Tribulation is just the opposite. It is not difficult to break, but its time flow is real. In other words, how long you stay in the illusion is how long it is in reality. This kind of illusion exists alone for nothing, but when paired with dangerous ghosts, it immediately becomes terrifying.
If Tang Jie had left later, he would have had his neck wiped by the resentful soul. With Tang Jie's current strength, if he really touched it, even if he didn't die, he would have lost half of his breath - the resentful soul. Planting something is easy to kill, and it is also very easy to be killed by it. It is equivalent to a typical existence with high attack and weak defense.
If I am not mistaken, this illusion should be related to the strange fragrance just now.
What is it that has such a strange fragrance that can make people enter a dreamland? Tang Jie has begun to think about everything about this underworld. Huangquan Wendaojue is not only a practice method, but also a guide to the underworld. I dare not say that all the knowledge of the underworld is included in it, but it does contain a lot of relevant content, so that humans will not be blinded after entering.
Fortunately, there is indeed a record of this strange fragrance in Taoist Secrets.
"Illusion Soul Grass?" Tang Jie's eyes lit up. ~IndoMTL.com~ Although the underworld is desolate, it is mainly for the positive world, but it does not mean that there are really no good things. This Huanhun Grass is an extremely rare and rare resource. As the name suggests, this thing is born with the ability to influence the soul and create illusions. The most rare thing is the ability to real time. The phantom soul incense made with it as the main raw material can be said to be an invincible treasure that can be used to kill enemies and steal goods. No matter who is affected by this incense, they will fall into an illusion. Since time in the illusion is the same as real time, a moment's hesitation may be eternal death.
So this phantom soul incense is also a very troublesome treasure. Fortunately, the main raw material of this thing, phantom soul grass, is rare, even in the underworld. It is said that it blooms only once every hundred years, and the flowers bloom for three days. The fragrance is so fragrant that it can lead people into a dreamland, and even attract ghosts to protect them. If you want to get the Phantom Soul Grass, you need to pick it at this time. If you miss the opportunity, you will have to wait another hundred years.
Tang Jie didn't know how long the Phantom Soul Grass had been in bloom, but he knew very well that if he missed this opportunity, he would probably never have another chance in the future.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth. He secretly informed the mistress to come and help him, and at the same time, he held his breath and walked forward.
