Chapter 27: The Half-Human, Half-Ghost Taoist Child

There was a completely different scene outside the window. The sun was shining brightly in the present world, while it was pouring rain in hell, and the water level was reaching above the knees without anyone noticing.

Yang He's expression was solemn, and the century-old turbot at the entrance of the market had been dismembered.

The butcher is smoking the fish stomach, without removing the debris for the time being, to make the material tougher for subsequent processing.

[Vulgar things: Lotus-born lotus]

[Related allusion: "Ghost Lotus", whether to consume 1 point of spiritual vision to enter the allusion world]

"This time in the world of allusions, we must improve our cultivation as much as possible."

[Do you want to consume 0.5 points of spiritual vision and carry big tonic pills into the world of allusions?]

[Whether to consume 1 point of spiritual vision and carry the blood copper sword into the allusion world]

Yang He thought about it carefully. Cailian Town is already full of evil spirits, so the black cat's warning is of little significance. However, it is necessary to carry the copper coin sword to increase the chances of survival.

"Now I can no longer worry about whether the copper coin sword will be damaged. The main world is in danger, and every world of allusions is precious."

Yang He hesitated for a long time, then remembered the mother and child ghosts in Qinghu Lake, and decided to take them along.

[Whether to consume 0.3 spiritual vision and carry the red rope stained with resentment into the world of allusions]

"confirm."

[The character "Clay Figure Seller" is dead, and cannot be selected to play]

[Clay figurine vendor: You make a living by selling clay figurines in Cailian Town. You accidentally discover that the clay figurines you made seem to be alive. You don’t believe in superstition and don’t pay much attention to it. However, the next day, the clay figurines you made are found dead on the street.]

Yang He breathed a sigh of relief. Since the night watchman character was not dead, it meant that his situation was still safe before leaving the world of allusions.

He did not refresh his identity, and being a Taoist child is his advantage.

Three faces appeared.

[Taoist boy (green): You followed your master to Cailian Town and found that it was full of evil spirits. Your master is temporarily trapped outside the town. You can only rely on the family's inherited Qi-reading technique to deal with the situation.]

[Night watchman (in white): Since the curfew in Cailian Town, the night is no longer safe. How many nights can you survive? ]

[Lotus Picker (White): You are the only survivor of a night of lotus root theft. You found that Cailian Town was plagued by disasters and you did not return home. You had to spend your days by the Qing Lake.]

[If you do not choose an identity, you will go to the historical site in your true self to act. ]

"Choose [Dao Tong]."

[Do you want to consume 4 points of spiritual vision to enter the story "Ghost Lotus"?]

"determine."

.........

The moment Yang He regained consciousness, he felt indescribably weak, and then he heard Wu Hong's nervous call.

"Immortal Master!"

"Master, are you okay?!"

Wu Hong looked around and there seemed to be someone malicious lurking in the shadows.

"I'm… fine."

Yang He forced himself to open his eyes. It was dark all around him. He was in the depths of the alley, and at the same time, a third arm was wriggling on his chest.

Then the ghost drilled back into the flesh and blood and disappeared inside the body.

"Master, you..."

Wu Hong's face was full of tension. He saw that Yang He's face was pale, without a trace of blood.

Yang He was about to speak, but found that he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth. Then, his limbs began to lose sensation little by little.

The pupil ghost opened its eyes on its own, guiding the negative energy from the outside world into its body.

Want to slow down Yang Heshen’s death.

However, the last time he left the pawn world, he had already exchanged his only remaining Yin Meridian, and the pupil ghost is now equivalent to a weak ghost that has just been born.

Yang He thought to himself that it was bad and his vision became dazed.

“To die.”

The Taoist boy was only eleven or twelve years old. He was severely injured by Madam Yin's Yin energy, and he also overdrew his vitality prematurely by constantly taking tonic pills.

Yang He glanced at the Taoist boy and saw that the Taoist boy's yang fire was almost extinguished.

"Master Taiyi is unreliable. Since he came to the rescue, shouldn't he also take care of his disciple's body? He is indeed a cheap master!"

The organs immediately dried up, and corpse spots spread on the skin surface. Yang He looked helpless, and even when he asked Wu Hong to help him take out the big tonic pill, he couldn't do it.

He tried to communicate with the pupil ghost, but the pupil ghost lacked intelligence and only knew how to continuously absorb Yin energy, which in turn intensified the extinguishing of the Yang fire.

"Wasting an opportunity to go to the world of allusions in vain?"

"Why not try... Inner Alchemy?"

Yang Heyi gritted his teeth. The purpose of this trip was inner alchemy. If the Taoist boy died because of accommodating the powerful ghost, at least it would still be valuable.

He silently recited the inner alchemy technique in his heart, and then communicated with the pupil ghost to intensify the absorption of Yin energy.

According to the practice of inner alchemy, beginners must take special talisman water to suppress the second ghost, and the higher the realm of the first ghost, the better, to ensure the smooth refining of the pills.

Yang He didn't have any talisman water, so he just mobilized the Yin Qi to subdue the evil spirit.

The powerful ghost in the weak ghost stage is hidden among the internal organs. Before it turns into a third arm, it is actually just a piece of cartilage that is barely there.

Yin energy circulates along specific routes, weaving an invisible network between the blood vessels and meridians.

After Shi Gui realized the inner alchemy, his reaction was extremely intense, as if there were invisible arms stirring inside his body.

puff.

Yang He vomited black blood, which made a sizzling sound when it fell to the ground.

The Taoist boy's blood is already mixed with negative energy, making him no different from a dead person, but there is still a glimmer of hope.

The Yin Energy shrank, and the Pupil Ghost failed to suppress the Power Ghost, and the two were in a stalemate.

Yang He felt severe pain in his internal organs and his skin turned greyish white. Not only did he have corpse spots, but he was already emitting a faint corpse odor.

"As expected of you, Master! Our Cailian Town is finally saved!"

Wu Hong's face was full of excitement. He noticed that the ghosts around him disappeared. At the same time, Yang He's body was filled with tangible Yin energy.

Click click click.

As the sound of bones breaking was heard, Wu Hong's pupils shook, and a third arm more than half a meter long appeared behind Yang He.

"Immortal!!!"

He kowtowed repeatedly, not caring at all that his face scratched the floor tiles.

Yang He had a puzzled expression on his face. His consciousness sensed the existence of the third arm. He quickly controlled the arm to take out ten tonic pills and swallowed them.

The third arm disappeared, and then the drug began to take effect.

The warmth in the stomach continues to spread along the blood vessels and meridians.

The Yang Fire was reignited, even burning a little too vigorously.

The corpse spots on Yang He disappeared, but his skin was still grayish white, his body temperature was the same as that of a corpse, and his heart rate was extremely slow.

When he regained some strength, he discovered that he had a connection with the ghost.

Although the connection is very weak, the third arm can be driven for a short period of time by spending a lot of Yang energy.

"I guess it was the arrangement made by Master Taiyi in advance to prevent the powerful ghost from attacking me."

"I haven't mastered the inner alchemy technique, and I haven't refined the power ghost, but I can control it now."

Yang He checked himself and found that his current half-human, half-ghost physique was also a factor.

Although the Taoist boy is alive, he is no different from being dead.

Taiyi Zhenren mentioned that the Taoist boy was born on a yin day in a yin year, which caused his yang fire to be weaker than that of ordinary people. As a result, now he is like a broken earthen jar that needs to be constantly added with water.

If Yang He doesn't take the tonic pills now, his yang fire will be extinguished.

Once the yang fire is extinguished, the person will die immediately.

"Two hundred or so tonic pills should last for a while, right?"

Yang He sighed, but it was not without benefit. After becoming half human and half ghost, at least he could digest Yin energy much faster than usual.

"Wu Hong, you night watchmen should also be affiliated with the government, right?"

"Take me to the government office."

"it is good!"

Wu Hong's face flushed red, and he already regarded Yang He as a living immortal.
