0539_Resentment

After waiting for a while, Chai Huou asked me, "Why don't you beat him?"

Me: "The loser's rant is a compliment to the winner. His insults are not enough to piss me off."

Chai Hu'ou: "I don't mean to provoke, I mean, if he doesn't break down, he won't answer well."

Oh, you Jianzong always interrogate like this?Our Yunxia Sect... I don't know how to do the interrogation work.However, if you want to beat a person to collapse, it seems that you want to hit those painful places?Is there a special method?Part of me knows where it hurts the most, but the way it's done... I've always been a good man.

So I decided to continue to use the method of fake tiger power: "What did you get from Chaidu and the others?"

The captive snorted again, looking particularly hard-nosed.

Chai Hu'ou: "You don't need to ask him this question, I can answer you. What he gets is resentment."

Me: "Resentment can strengthen the soul to a certain extent, but isn't that used for ghosts? When Chaidu uses the incense burner, there are ghosts around the victim, but, that ghost..." By the way, Chaidu must have resentment, However, Gui Zhuotao, who is easily affected by resentment, was affected only by aura—negative aura is also aura, not to the extent of resentment—Gui Zhuotao, who should be very sensitive to resentment, did not follow the resentment to find Chaidu. It was because Chai Du's resentment didn't come out at all, it was directly sucked away.

In a broad sense, resentment is also a branch of aura, but just like ghosts and souls have become two types of existence, if monks do not pay special attention when identifying aura, they will miss the existence of resentment, especially a small amount , Resentment that does not involve life and death.

After being reminded by Chai Huou, I strangely tried to observe the captive from the perspective of resentment, and finally saw a rotting corpse, the pungent breath rushed to my face, and the nausea caused by the fainting that I suppressed just now surged up again.

Chai Huou shook his head: "You are spoiled."

You... "Did your sword intent be straightened out by the smell of corpses?"

Chai Hu'ou: "Who knows. My sword intent has always been chaotic and smooth. There are many reasons for the chaos and many reasons for the smoothness. Even I am not sure which reason is effective. Anyway, the chaos will not be complete. , it is inevitable."

Is it natural to get used to it?

0540_ roughly can guess

After seeing the actual appearance of the prisoner, I lost all intention of interrogating him—no wonder Chai Huou threw it to me without hesitation.

And even if you don't interrogate, you can roughly guess what's going on by looking at the prisoner like this:

If you want to take a shortcut in cultivation, it is nothing more than taking drugs and force-feeding spiritual power from outside.Take medicine that directly improves the cultivation level, and take medicine that speeds up the cultivation speed, but if this kind of medicine is a regular product, it is very expensive.So he chose to recharge himself, such as absorbing a lot of aura from the spirit stone.But spirit stones are also expensive.Then he used his brain to absorb spiritual power from living people.

During his Qi training period, only mortals can safely start.Special magic tools, simple magic circles, and mortals with violent emotional fluctuations together constitute his charging shortcut.

The result may be that there is a problem with the magic circle, it may be that there is a problem with the magic weapon, or it may be that there is a problem with the spiritual power in his body. In short, what he absorbs is not spiritual power, but resentment.

Resentment is the food of evil spirits. Even ordinary ghost cultivators dare not touch this thing without protection, because they are too easily infected by emotions.But the prisoner didn't realize that he had sucked it wrong at first. After he found out, his body had been corroded by resentment and began to rot, but his soul became more solid, as if it had more power.

To put it simply, his soul began to exist independently of his body, becoming more and more like a ghost.

At this time, he couldn't hold it anymore.The body is basically dead, and he can only live if he completely becomes a ghost cultivator.But it happened that Zhang Mi and I got the incense burner around this time, and directly cleaned up all the branches of the incense burner, broke the connection between the incense burner and him, and broke his absorption circle.

With his ability, he didn't even have the time to refine another censer, and he didn't have the energy to take care of the monks who might follow the censer to clean him up. He hurriedly moved to the other one that formed a triangle with the remaining two instruments. At the apex position, he also regards himself as a magic weapon for forming a formation, while using his own resentment to maintain the formation, while absorbing resentment from the formation.

The amount of resentment that can be absorbed in this way is greatly reduced, but at least it can still be absorbed.The captives planned to use this method to deal with it for a period of time, to survive the backlash from being robbed of the incense burner, and to recover the power to refine new magic weapons.

It's a pity that he recovered too slowly, and the door was directly blocked by me and Chai Huou.

0541_Become a ghost

Fortunately, I came here with Chai Huou by chance this time. If I were alone, and I was unprepared for resentment, there might be some problems.Except for the Gate of Rebirth, the monks use their spiritual power to deal with this aspect. If they fail to grasp the point, it is not uncommon for the strength of the Qi training period to injure the foundation building period.

In the final analysis, there is still too little actual combat experience.I reflect.

"I'm going to take back the other two magical artifacts," I said to Chai Hu'ou, "Please trouble Senior Chai later."

Chai Hu'ou: "Your speed is too slow, I'll go. You try to press him here again, what is he hiding. For example, did he really refine these three magic weapons? Or from someone, Or on something, stolen?"

The prisoner locked in the corner trembled, he didn't have the heart to despise me anymore, his desperate eyes moved between me and Chai Huou.

Chai Huou quickly disappeared, I looked at the prisoner and asked, "Do you want to tell me?"

The prisoner's voice seemed to be leaking: "Can you let me go after what I said?"

Me: "In principle, we should kill you. But if you don't cause death, you can also save your life. But you will immediately suffer the backlash of losing the magic weapon twice. Even if we let you go, can you still kill me?" Will you survive?"

The prisoner actually laughed: "I have mastered the method of becoming a ghost. After breaking free from the shackles of the flesh, although there will be a period of weakness, I can live forever. Ghosts are the most perfect and powerful existence."

Wow, this old-fashioned theory that has been refuted to be worthless can still be spoken in a tone of truth nowadays?

Prisoner: "Ghosts are the most perfect cultivators. The evidence is that ghosts can practice."

Nonsense, those who cannot practice cannot become ghosts.

Captive: "Including mortals without spiritual roots, if they can transform into ghosts, they can practice cultivation, Qi training, foundation building, and even golden pills."

That's because if they can become ghosts, they must have extremely heavy obsessions before death, whether they hate or love, in short, they are extremely reluctant, unwilling to leave, unwilling to let their consciousness disappear.This kind of reluctance becomes something like a core, and this core will make the spiritual energy circulate around it to form spiritual power, just like the spiritual root of a living person attracts the spiritual energy.In other words, those who can become ghosts have already possessed spiritual roots.

You reverse cause and effect, you know?

Captive: "I'm going to be a ghost, I'm going to be strong. Whatever it takes."

You don't care about yourself at all costs, but you still deliberately make others pay a heavy price, that's not okay.

0542_ Backlash

The prisoner was happily looking forward to the future after death, when he suddenly vomited it out. It wasn't blood or digestive residue... It might also contain those, but it was more of minced meat and bones, his own.The rot on his body was also much heavier.

It seems that Chai Huou has recovered a magic weapon.This action is indeed fast enough, but did he grab it hard?Is it bad to scare mortals?Ordinary people report warning monks because of this. Although monks are not hurt or itchy in most cases, they will still be punished after returning to the sect.

In this way, the number of defendants of Jianzong is indeed the highest among the seven majors. The only one who can be compared with them in this respect is Gyutianmen, who is often tainted by fake magic sticks.

There was an inexplicable sound from the prisoner's throat, and I couldn't see the expression on his tattered face, not to mention the flesh, he didn't even have a bone in shape now, it's very likely that when Chai Huou took back the next magic weapon, he would die, or, as he expected, become a ghost.

I took a few steps back.Although I have gotten used to the visual effect and stench, it is still very unpleasant.This is an underground parking lot. Chai Huou threw the captives behind the corner, and set up a magic circle here to isolate the five senses of mortals, but it was very rough, so when I heard someone coming down, I added another shielding method device.

Whether it is Chai Huou's magic circle or my magic weapon, the shielding range and effect are limited. When the stench of the captives mixed with resentment drifts away, I am 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 breaking into the magic circle, and accidentally discovering things here...

What is this scene like?Murder to pieces?

Whenever a mortal passed by, I was worried that I would hear screams of terror, but it turned out that I was thinking too much, until the captive was rotten more thoroughly again, and the mortals who came and went still knew nothing.

As for this prisoner whose name I don't even know, after a sudden shock, his mouth seemed to have opened, but he neither vomited nor made any more noises. His whole body collapsed rapidly, and his bones collapsed. Lost the effect of support, turned into powder, mixed into mud, slowly flowing from that corner.

0543_mutation

I used my spiritual power to isolate the strong stench from my side, but I was worried that if the isolation was too thorough, I would not be able to react in time when something happened, so I had to open a gap in the spiritual power barrier to force myself to keep the stench away. Pay attention and pay attention to whether the taste has changed.Also pay attention to whether there is any abnormality in the blood and mud flowing on the ground, 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, and everything seemed to be calm again. I took out the magic weapon and prepared to take back the mud and the stench. Requirements for waste utilization.

At this time, Chai Hu'ou flew back, and from a distance, I heard him shout: "Be careful!"

……Um?Did you say that to me?As soon as this question arose, I heard the scream I had been worried about for a long time. Before I could turn my head to look at it, the blood and mud on the ground from the corner of my eyes suddenly moved again, and a pattern was drawn on the ground in an instant, and then My eyes turned black and then bright again, and the scenery that came into my eyes completely changed.

From crowded parking lots to open fields.

This is... teleportation?

I recalled the pattern formed by the mud just now. It should be that the magic circle did not run, but I have never seen a magic circle with exactly the same shape as that. It does not completely conform to the composition of the teleportation circle that I know, but there are some similarities.

The moment when the mud moved again was also the moment when the shielding circle and the magic weapon failed. I still didn't see the ghost.But after all, I don't have a 360-degree view without blind spots, and the actual contact with the ghost is also limited, so it is possible that the ghost appeared and I didn't notice it.

There was palpable fear in the screams heard as we left the parking lot, and neither the stench, nor me, nor the mud—stationary or moving—saw nothing human, at most. It’s just a little disgusting—it’s not enough to trigger such uncontrollable screams in an instant, so I guess, the ghost appeared, and the image was very scary, right behind me at that time... Ouch, goosebumps came up .

I couldn't help turning around in a circle, and then hugged the fur ball to my shoulder, letting it look behind me, and after confirming that there were no visible ghosts around, I began to speculate on the current environment.
