Chapter 197: Ferocious Ghost

Yang He first taught the three skills to the horse trainer, and then the Wanhua Baigui Hunyuan Sutra.

According to past experience, a horse trainer's cultivation can barely reach the Zuodan realm, which is definitely not enough to face the mysterious and unpredictable ghost realm.

"It's difficult. If it doesn't work, I can only die a few more times to find out the flaws of the Four Saints of Jiulong Island, or wait for Yang Jian and Nezha's protagonist halo to explode."

[Do you want to consume 348 points of spiritual vision and pass on the identity of "Horse Trainer" and the Sutra of the Unselfish Birth Story?]

"determine."

Yang He didn't expect that another clue would come out.

[Please select any magical power from the Horse Tamer to practice the Jataka Sutra]

The contents of the Anatta Jataka Sutra emerged in Yang He’s mind. The essence of this Buddhist teaching was to take over another’s body, and the one who took over the body was an evil spirit.

When used on an ordinary character, only one ghost in the body can survive.

The horse trainer will become half human, half ghost.

"Choose the pupil ghost. There is no point in keeping only the descending ghost. The power ghost is far less comprehensive than the pupil ghost, but its killing power is slightly inferior."

After Yang He confirmed it, the quality of the horse trainer turned dark blue.

[Horse Trainer (Blue): You are responsible for raising horses for the Xiqi Barracks, but tonight is a little different. Relying on your natural supernatural powers, you can barely detect that something is wrong with the stable. ]

"Play the role of [Horse Trainer]."

.........

The crescent moon hung high in the sky, shining silver light and casting a shadow on the ground.

Like corpse spots.

Seven soldiers walked across the rockery and headed towards the stable, cursing.

They belong to the Xiqi Barracks and are horse trainers specializing in raising horses. The middle-aged man leading them, Shan Shuo, is the chief herdsman.

As we walked along the road, there were just enough shades from the grass and trees.

They didn't notice that the man at the back had turned pale and his eye pupils were opening and closing all over his skin.

Yang He's originally furrowed brows relaxed, and his consciousness descended upon the horse trainer.

The original owner was already in his forties or fifties, with a face full of stubble and extremely messy hair, and his burps smelled of alcohol.

"Typical bachelor."

As usual, Yang He carefully checked the internal and external conditions of his body.

"what?"

He noticed that the original owner's left arm was covered with scars, which had just scabbed over.

From the gaps between the nails on the right arm, it can be seen that the scar was clearly scratched by the original owner himself, and there is a distorted and blurry horse character.

"What do you mean, has the original owner ever been in contact with the ghost realm?"

Yang He glanced at the crowd and saw that the other horse trainers were chatting with each other. They didn't show anything unusual, as if nothing had happened.

"Impossible, the ghost realm has been covering the stable for a while."

"Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they should have noticed that the environment was unusual."

Yang He narrowed his eyes, and then heard the chief of the corps, Shan Shuo, turn around and ask, "Why are there only seven of us? Where are the other brothers?"

"Boss, maybe I'm late because of something at home."

"And it's really... not peaceful recently."

"Hey, there might be two or three pony boys born tonight. With our manpower, we can't take responsibility if something goes wrong."

Shan Shuo also knew that the rumors were true. There was a high probability that Xiqi was going to go to war, otherwise why would they invite a powerful immortal master to sit in the barracks.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's just take care of the horse breeding business."

Yang He's eyes fell on Shan Shuo's clothes. The blood on his cuffs had dried recently, but it was not from a horse, but from a living person.

"Something's wrong."

He looked around, except for the path leading to the stables, which was lit by candles.

The entire barracks was in darkness.

It is very likely that the inside and outside of the stable are already in different worlds. One can imagine how terrifying the ability of high-level ghost realms to influence the environment is.

Yang He subconsciously deviated from the path, and his spiritual vision suddenly began to surge.

In the darkness, the ground was wet, as if covered with blood, and the autumn wind blew by with a few tangled strands of thorns.

He had a premonition that if he took another step he would surely die.

"Yang He, you have just been transferred to our horse training department. Please watch and learn more later."

Yang He nodded in agreement. The seemingly normal stable appeared not far away, and the inexplicable weird feeling in his heart became more and more intense.

He communicated with the pupil ghost in his body, and his expression relaxed.

[Plague Refiner: Pupil Ghost (Evil Ghost) Ghost Realm: Big Sun]

Yang Hefa discovered that Tong Gui had not only reached the perfect stage of Transformation (evil ghost), but was very close to the stage of Concentration of Mind (killing ghost). He did not even need to break through the bottleneck to advance, and could complete it in a moment.

Once he achieves the state of concentration, he will be sure to help Huang Tianhua.

Of course, the prerequisite is to find the other party first.

"The stables are divided into four areas: east, west, south and north. The east and west areas are based on horse breeds and appearances, and the south area where we are located is for pregnant mares."

"In the dead of night, mares are more likely to give birth."

"If the birthing doesn't go smoothly, we'll have to tie up the foal's feet and then pull it out together. It's a physically demanding job."

"Hahaha."

The other horse trainers couldn't help laughing when they saw Yang He's surprised expression.

Shan Shuo was obviously explaining this deliberately for Yang He, and he pushed open the door while speaking.

The door creaked.

The moonlight leaked through the gaps in the roof, and mottled shadows swayed on the ground, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching everyone.

The laughter stopped abruptly.

The stable was empty, without a single mare, and the strong smell of mold and rotten hay was disgusting.

"Look! It's impossible for more than a dozen mares to disappear overnight!!"

Shan Shuo looked unhappy, and immediately took the torch brought by others, and the seven of them searched the small stable. However, they only found the haystack that was black due to moisture.

"Don't worry, Boss."

"The mare should have been transferred out of the stable by the barracks. No bandits would dare to come here, right?"

"Let's first..."

There was a lot of discussion in the training stable, but Yang He was carefully moving forward in his place.

The increase in spiritual vision is even more dramatic.

suddenly.

Yang He heard the sound of horses snorting.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise and noticed that there was a mare in the corner of the stable. Her belly was swollen to half a meter high and her hooves kept hitting the fence.

They were all a little surprised because they were just three feet away from digging deep into the ground.

It's impossible to miss a horse!!

"Hey, hey~~"

The mare's neighing became sharper, and her abdomen continued to expand. One could even see the blood vessels and meridians covering the surface. Its size was already far greater than when the foal was born.

What on earth is this thing?
Snapped.

The mare fell to her knees, blood gushing out.

Shan Shuo and the others felt as if their legs were filled with lead and they could not move at all.

Their eyes were fixed on the mare's abdomen. In just a few moments, the skin on the abdomen had become translucent, indicating that a fetus was about to be born.

As soon as Yang He had a thought, eye bugs quietly spread all around him.

He did not act rashly. The ghost domain was mainly targeting Huang Tianhua. Any rash action would likely lead to a chain reaction.

Besides, I have not yet figured out the truth about the ghost realm.

Through the pupil ghost, I could only feel the gloomy yin energy of the fetus in the mare's belly.

If it is an evil spirit, it is not even a weak ghost.

"Let's... leave the stable and contact the immortal master to find out that there is an evil spirit!" Shan Shuo's words trembled and his throat was so dry that he couldn't make a sound.

The mare suddenly neighed, as if something was struggling.

Immediately afterwards, a tear suddenly appeared on the skin of the abdomen, and blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the ground red.

The monster slid out of the mare's belly.

The thing was covered in sticky liquid, was huge in size, and had a strange shape. It looked a bit like a horse, but walked upright.

The head is a twisted horse head with scarlet eyes.

"ferocious?"

Yang He raised his eyebrows. He had the impression that Li Xingba, one of the Four Saints of Kowloon Island, had a ferocious mount. It should be a terrifying human-shaped evil spirit.

He had read relevant ancient books in the main world.

The Four Saints of Jiulong Island were finally named the Four Saint Marshals.

"Li Xingba seems to be the last of the Four Saints of Jiulong Island, and the weakest in relative terms. He may have a chance to turn the tables."

The horse-headed monster stood up weakly, shook off the slime, and looked shocked.

He tried to speak, but all that came out was a low growl.

Yang He still didn't think the horse-headed monster was a threat. At best, it was just a weak ghost, constantly absorbing the negative energy from the outside world to thrive.

"Go away."

Shan Shuo gritted his teeth, picked up the pitchfork on the wall and threw it out.

The horse-headed monster did not even dodge, allowing the pitchfork to pierce its chest. It instantly died and lay motionless on the ground.

He died a moment later.

"He died already? Is the evil spirit bred in the ghost realm so vulnerable?"

Shan Shuo's pupils were dilated, and he pointed at the horse-headed monster and said, "He is Chen..."

Before he could finish his words, a gust of cold wind blew, the dim candlelight in the house suddenly went out, and the entire South District Stables disappeared into thin air.

The horse trainers returned to the rockery as if nothing had happened.

The six men walked towards the stable, cursing.

Yang He walked at the end, gently stroking the scar on his left arm. Then the pupil ghost instilled the lost memories into his mind, his expression extremely solemn.

"Infinite loop? Ghost wall? Why is Li Xingba's ghost domain so weird?"

He heard people around him complaining that the foal was about to be born, but there were only six people participating, and even the chief pastor Shan Shuo was not present.

Yang He paused, and the eye worms crawled into the mouths and noses of the other horse trainers.

The five of them fell asleep on the spot at the same time.

Yang He went straight to the South Stable. As soon as the door opened, he saw the same scene. After walking around the road, the mare appeared again.

"Hey, hey~~"

A horse-headed monster was born, with deep despair in its eyes.

Yang He recognized that the horse-headed monster was Shan Shuo in disguise. As long as he killed the monster, he would immediately become a monster in the mare's womb.

Yin energy was infused into the horse-headed monster's body, and its cultivation level slowly increased. After it was promoted to an evil ghost, its remaining intelligence began to fade away bit by bit.

The rules of Li Xingba's ghost domain seem strange and inexplicable.

"Hey, hey~~"

A horse-headed monster, no, to be more precise, a hideous ghost.

The ferocious ghost stood up with difficulty, ignoring Yang He, and pounced on the mare's corpse to eat it. His cultivation level was not far from that of a fierce ghost.

With the help of the horse corpse, Yang He spread a large number of insect eggs throughout the ferocious ghost's body.

For the time being, there is no way to break into Li Xingba’s ghost domain.

"The ghost realms of cultivators are all for strengthening their original abilities. The same is true for the Three Corpses and Big Sun ghost realms. Li Xingba's ghost realm feels more like an evil spirit."

Unable to kill him, Yang He turned around and left the South District Stables, looking for Huang Tianhua.
