Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

"How did you identify the Shen Yin body?"

Although Zhao Lin is not interested in becoming a ghost cultivator, this does not prevent him from getting to know him better.There are many Taoisms and methods in the world of cultivating immortals, and the secret arts are all kinds of strange things. The more you know, the stronger your ability to survive.

"There is a spell called Tianmu Technique. If you practice it to the first level, you can see everyone's physique. However, this technique is difficult to practice, and I don't have that much time."

"Fortunately, there is a secret technique in the book left by the senior ghost cultivator, called Ghost Eye Technique. It is slightly modified on the basis of Celestial Eye Technique. As long as you reach the minor level, you can identify the body of Shen Yin."

Hu Hongxing explained a few sentences, paused, and continued: "It took me three years to cultivate ghost eyes to a small degree, and it took me another three years to go back and forth between various states and counties to find a person with a body that was born with a heavy cloud. man of."

"I deliberately created a coincidence to get acquainted with this person, and then slowly approached him, intending to be kind and courteous. In less than two years, we have become friends, hahaha..."

Looking at the smug smile on Hu Hongxing's face, Zhao Lin felt chills in his heart, and deeply realized what it means to be in danger and to have a weak heart.

What happened next was naturally logical.

Hu Hongxing had visited the Yinfeng Realm before, and he knew that this place is full of Yin Qi, which is suitable for ghost cultivators to survive, and there are only some middle-grade monsters. As long as they obtain the Shenyin Body, they can practice here safely.

After everything was well planned, Hu Hongxing used the pretext of carrying out the mission to lure that friend to the Yinfeng Realm, and took the opportunity to sneak attack and kill him...

"There is nothing to talk about after that. I switched from Dharma cultivation to ghost cultivation, and my cultivation directly entered the fourth level of soul refining."

"However, most of the monks who perform tasks in the Yinfeng Realm are in the late stage of Qi refining. I dare not go out, so I hide in this cave."

"Using the formation disks and formation flags left by the ghost cultivators, we set up a magic formation. We will see the light of day again when we reach the next level of cultivation - the form refining realm!"

"I didn't expect you guys to barge in. It was because of my fascination for a while. Seeing that your cultivation level is not high, and you just entered the magic circle, I thought that the chance of victory was in my hands, but it's a pity..."

Hu Hongxing sighed with regret in his words.

Zhao Lin snorted coldly: "You have been here for 20 years, and you have cultivated from the fourth level to the fifth level?"

"Fellow daoists don't know that ghost cultivators have a long lifespan, so their progress in cultivation is also extremely slow."

Hu Hongxing explained: "For a ghost cultivator, 20 years is only three or four years. It is rare for me to be able to cultivate from the fourth level of soul refining to the fifth level."

"What's the name of the person with the dark body you lured?"

Yin Hun asked abruptly.

Hu Hongxing didn't expect that the ghost could speak human words. He was stunned for a while and was speechless.

Zhao Lin said in a deep voice, "I'm asking you something!"

A look of reminiscence appeared on Hu Hongxing's face, and he said slowly, "That man's name is... Li Yuanyou."

"Is he like this?"

Li Zhen stretched out three tentacles, released his spiritual power, and condensed the appearance of a monk.

The monk was about thirty years old, wearing a green forged Taoist robe, with a pair of red phoenix eyes, thick eyebrows, square forehead, straight nose and straight mouth, handsome appearance, and gentle and kind demeanor.

"you……"

Hu Hongxing jumped up as if he had seen a ghost, and said in shock, "Are you Li Yuanyou?"

His eyes glanced back and forth between the green-robed monk and Yin Hun, with a look of disbelief, "How did you become like this?"

The green-robed monk gritted his teeth and said, "Old thief, it's thanks to you!"

Although Hu Hongxing knew that the green-robed monk was an illusion, he still stared at the green-robed monk in front of him, and said in a stuttering voice, "You...you didn't die!"

Then a dazed look appeared on his face, and he said to himself: "Yes, that day was the first time I used the Soul Eater technique, and I was not yet familiar with it. I let go of a ray of soul, I didn't expect you to survive."

Zhao Lin understood in his heart, no wonder this ghost can use water archery, and no wonder he can see humanity from it.

Most of the mystery has been solved, leaving only one question: How did Li Yuanyou become a ghost?
When he asked this question, Li Yuanyou was silent for a moment and said: "The old thief killed me that day, not even sparing my soul. I tried my best to escape with a ray of soul."

"At first I thought it was inevitable, but fortunately this is the Yinfeng Realm, with plenty of Yin Qi, the soul is not easy to dissipate, and as time goes by, it gradually grows stronger."

"Without a physical body, I don't know what to do, so I just wander around aimlessly, gradually forgetting who I am and where I came from..."

"Until one day, I met a thousand-year-old ghost who wanted to take my soul."

"I was originally not as strong as Yinhun, but with an obsession in my heart, I fought with Yinhun until I lost both sides, and finally merged together."

"Since then, my memory has become more and more blurred, and I don't know whether I am a ten thousand-year-old vine or a person."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanyou smiled, "It wasn't until I met Daoyou Zhao that I recalled some memories."

After finishing speaking, he pointed at Hu Hongxing angrily, and cursed: "Old thief, you have today!"

Hu Hongxing naturally did not dare to refute, closed his eyes and simply ignored him.

Zhao Lin reassured: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist Li, this ghost cultivator's mechanism will be exhausted, and it will be nothing after all. After I go out, I will immediately hand him over to the sect."

Wei Shi also said: "Yes, the sect will definitely not let him go."

In fact, the two of them could execute Hu Hongxing on the spot right now, but this matter was too unbelievable, and leaving the ghost alive would make the evidence more convincing.

"It's getting late, let's go out!"

Zhao Lin estimated the time, and it was the right time to rush to Zhongyin Mountain, so he made a suggestion.

"then what do I do?"

Li Yuanyou said suddenly a little at a loss.

Zhao Lin froze for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Now that Li Yuanyou knows that he was once a human being, how can he stay there?

But with this appearance, how can he get out?
What's more, ghosts can't withstand the yang energy from the outside world.

Zhao Lin thought for a while and asked, "Does Fellow Daoist Li have any relatives or companions outside?"

Li Yuanyou was stunned when he heard the words, and after a long while, he murmured: "I...don't remember."

After speaking, tears streamed down my face.

Zhao Lin glanced at Hu Hongxing coldly, "You should know the situation at Daoyou Li's house, right?"

Hu Daoxing hurriedly said: "As far as I know, Li Daoyou's family is in Sanchuan County of this state, and he came from a small cultivating family. I don't know anything else."

Zhao Lin thought for a while, and said to Li Yuan: "How about this, Li Daoyou wait here patiently, I will report this matter to the sect when I go out, and then contact your family, how about it?"

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhao."

Li Yuanyou gave a salute, pursed his lips, and looked anxious, "I look like this, can they still recognize me?"

Zhao Lin secretly sighed, pretending to smile and said: "Blood is thicker than water, even for those who practice Taoism."

"Taking a step back, even if your family has any difficulties, the sect will not let you live in the small world."

Wei Shi also said: "Friend Li Daoist, relax, there are thousands of ways, and there is always a way to let you out."

Li Yuanyou thanked him repeatedly and finally had a smile on his face.

Zhao Lin was not very optimistic. It was not easy to let a ghost leave the small world.

Before leaving, Zhao Lin and Wei Shi collected the star peony on the ground.

Li Yuanyou wanted to help, but Zhao Lin refused: "Your injury is not healed yet, we can do it ourselves."

These star peony grasses were transplanted by Hu Hongxing from other places. After 20 years of being closed, they always have to find something to pass the time.

There are 160 three star peony plants in total. Wei Shi originally refused to accept one, but under Zhao Lin's insistence, he accepted [-] plants.

Next, Zhao Lin took out the things seized from Hu Hongxing, and interrogated: "Are the formation disks and formation flags used to control the formation?"

"Yes, the formation of the Three Yin Fantasy Killing Formation."

Hu Hongxing knew that he had absolutely no reason, so he simply said everything, so as not to suffer again.

"What is a magic weapon in a pocket embroidered with skulls?"

"The Xuanyin Bag can only be controlled by ghost cultivators."

Zhao Lin took the Xuanyin bag and shook it lightly twice, and there was the sound of pebbles rubbing and colliding inside.

"What's ringing?"

"Yin evil bead, condensed by the evil spirit of the Yin corpse."

"What's in the lock bag?"

"Books and pills for ghost cultivators."

Zhao Lin nodded, not intending to open it at all.Try not to touch the things of ghost cultivation, in case it takes root in my heart one day, it will be bad.

After putting away several items, Zhao Lin suddenly slapped Hu Hongxing on the back of the head.

Hu Hongxing lost consciousness and fell to the ground without even humming.

This ghost cultivator has a sinister temperament. Although his mana was temporarily imprisoned, Zhao Lin was still worried, so he simply knocked him unconscious.

Zhao Lin grabbed Hu Hongxing and said to Li Yuan: "We're going out now, Li Daoyou stay here at ease, I believe there will be news soon."

Wei Shi also cupped his fists and said, "Goodbye."

"and many more……"

Li Yuanyou said anxiously: "Why don't I send you off! My spiritual sense is far away, so if I meet that person, I should have a reminder."

Zhao Lin knew that the "that person" Li Yuanyou referred to was the big fat monk, so he couldn't help but feel moved.

Although my own echolocation is more than a hundred feet, it is impossible to walk slowly. If I meet a fat monk, when I find someone, the other party will also find me.

Li Yuanyou's spiritual consciousness can reach thousands of feet, which is indeed a great help.

"Okay, then thank you Li Daoyou."

Zhao Lin nodded in agreement.

"It should be, I still count on you to report the news!"

Li Yuanyou was overjoyed, put away the illusion of human figures, and returned to his ghostly appearance.

The three of them did not delay any longer and came all the way to the outermost hole.

Zhao Lin and Wei Shi stood still, Li Yuanyou stretched out a few tentacles, probed outside for a while, and soon floated back.

"How about it?"

Zhao Lin and Wei Shi asked.

"People are on the top of the mountain!"

Li Yuanyou raised his tentacles and pointed to the top of his head.

"I actually found it here!"

Zhao Lin's face darkened. The big fat monk obviously had a tracking method that he didn't know about.

Wei Shi gritted his teeth and said: "What a mad dog, fight him!"

"Don't be busy."

Zhao Lin raised his hand to stop it: "With the strength of the ninth level of Qi Refining, it is difficult to win by fighting alone."

"Furthermore, this person is rich and powerful. Expensive talismans like patrol talisman and wind riding talisman are used whenever he wants. Who knows what else he has?"

"We tried our best to get rid of this person last time. If we meet again, it will be difficult to get rid of him again."

Wei Shi knew that what Zhao Lin said was right, and worried, "What should I do then?"

Zhao Lin took out the formation plate and formation flag obtained from Guixiu, "At first I couldn't help it, but now..."

Wei Shi's eyes lit up, and he understood instantly, "Brother Zhao wants to trap him with the ghost cultivator's magic circle?"

Zhao Lin smiled softly, "The magic circle can't even trap me, let alone a monk on the ninth level of Qi Refining. But it will consume his strength to some extent, and we will definitely have to go into battle."

"That's fine too!"

Wei Shi glanced at the array disk, "By the way, can brother Zhao use this thing?"

Zhao Lin nodded, "The magic circle is complex and cumbersome, covering everything. It is naturally difficult to arrange it from the beginning, but this magic circle has already been set up, and it can be controlled with the formation board and the formation flag."

Li Yuanyou reminded from the side: "To be on the safe side, it's better to try first."

Zhao Lin agreed: "It should be so, let's go back and try the magic circle."

The three of them did not delay, and hurried back to the innermost cave.

The array disk is the cornerstone of the magic circle. It controls the opening and closing of the magic circle, as well as the adjustment of the magic circle. As long as you hold the formation disk, you can enter and exit the magic circle at will without being affected.

The formation flags are used to arrange and control the magic formation. The Three Yin Fantasy Killing Formation has 36 formation flags, which are placed deep underground. This main formation flag can control the magic formation.

The Sanyang Illusory Killing Formation is a phantom formation, if the owner of the magic formation breaks into it, the people trapped inside will immediately realize that everything is an illusion, and the power of the illusion will be greatly reduced.

This is also the reason why Hu Hongxing had been casting spells outside when Zhao Lin broke the formation, but did not rush in.

Zhao Lin grabbed the formation plate and sank into his consciousness. He immediately understood the entire Three Yin Fantasy Killing Formation and the 36 underground formation flags.

The array occupies a radius of 25 feet and covers a distance of five feet above the ground vertically.

Zhao Lin used his spiritual sense to move the formation disk, and said lightly: "Open!"

The magic circle remained motionless.

Zhao Lin waited for a while, but saw no movement, and frowned in thought.

Although I have only practiced the formation for more than a month, I still know how to activate the formation. Brother Chuan Gong also took Zhao Lin to practice it, so why doesn't it work?
If there is a problem with the saying array, why was it good before?

Wei Shi and Li Yuanyou didn't say anything for fear of disturbing him.

Zhao Lin thought for a while in silence, then suddenly clapped his hands with a smile on his face: "I remembered that after the magic circle is broken, it will take a while to recover. Given the size of this magic circle, , estimated to take two hours."

Wei Shi scratched his hair and said, "It should be so. Although I don't understand magic circles, I have heard of this principle and forgot about it for a moment."

Knowing the problem, the three of them waited quietly in the cave.

Taking advantage of his free time, Zhao Lin began to think about the strategy to deal with the big fat monk, deducing the whole process, which was a habit he had developed all along.

After thinking about it for a while, I still feel uncertain.

The key is that the big fat monk is too "rich", and there is no way of knowing how many other methods he has. It is far from being comparable to a bandit cultivator who only has a few escape talismans.

Glancing at the ghost cultivator beside him, he suddenly had an idea and took out the Xuanyin bag.

Wearing fur gloves, slowly turn the bag upside down.

Gulu Gulu...

Three Yin evil beads rolled out from the Xuanyin bag. (end of this chapter)
