Demon-killing Enlightenment

The scene in the Ni Ling Jian where the genius demonstrated the Lie Zi Jue was still very shocking, with a group of ghosts killing and destroying all the ghosts.

But Mu Yang discovered that the ghosts used in Tianjiao's soul-binding formation were all resentful souls and above, without a single wandering soul.

Could it be because the ghosts were too weak and too few in number? Mu Yang guessed.

Then he watched the demonstration carefully, and finally, he saw the details of the Soul Binding Array shaking and shattering the ghosts. It turned out that Tianjiao used his own spiritual energy to resonate with the resentment in the Soul Binding Array, and then used his spiritual energy as a guide to stir the resentment in the Soul Binding Array.

It seems that repeated practice is needed to find the technique to resonate spiritual energy and resentment, Mu Yang came to this conclusion after watching the demonstration.

Moreover, the quality and quantity of ghosts must also be improved in order to truly unleash the power of the Ghost Binding Formation.

After watching the demonstration, Mu Yang turned his gaze to the Ni Ling Jian space.

There are many new ghosts wandering around there, including those led by Cao Ban and the Ghost Killing Gang.

Mu Yang didn't have a good impression of these two people. It just so happened that the Fang Tian Hua Ji needed to be refined, and two resentful soul-level ghosts should be enough.

However, refining the Fang Tian Hua Ji would certainly cause a lot of noise, so we had to go into the hunting forest first.

Right now, I need to recover my spiritual energy in preparation for the next trip into the hunting forest.

At this time, Mu Yang remembered that the previous character formula had a small skill of absorbing spirits, which was very useless. He didn't know if it would work as he was lacking in spiritual energy now.

As he thought about it, the space ring lit up, and a thousand spirit stones appeared in his hand. Looking at the thousand spirit stones in his hand, Mu Yang hesitated a little, then gritted his teeth and took out another thousand. Two thousand at a time to see the effect.

As the soul-absorbing mantra was recited, the two thousand spirit stones slowly turned into gray.

After the soul absorption was over, Mu Yang came to two conclusions.

The good news is that soul absorption is effective, and Mu Yang feels the increase of spiritual energy in his body.

The bad news is that two thousand spirit stones increased the spiritual energy by 10%.

No wonder the previous attempt to absorb spirits in the hunting forest had no effect. It turned out that it was useless to absorb the spirits when the spirits were full. Moreover, it was too extravagant to absorb only one tenth of the spirits from these two thousand spirit stones.

The total amount of spirit stones in Mu Yang's hand was less than 40,000. If he used all of them to absorb spiritual energy, he could only barely replenish the depleted spiritual energy twice.

Alas, Mu Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

The stronger you are, the poorer you feel.

Next, you have to kill ghosts and make money.

There was no point in thinking too much, so Mu Yang began to recover his spiritual energy. At dawn he went to Ding Mansion to see Yang Jiao. He was still a little worried after not seeing her for many days.

The next day, Mu Yang disguised himself as Liu Yang again and went to Ding Mansion with the Fang Tian Hua Ji.

There were always few people near the charity cemetery, and Mu Yang was used to this quiet state. But when he walked to the main street near Nanguan, he found that the streets near Nanguan were unusually lively, even more prosperous than usual. Both sides of the street were filled with various goods, and there were stalls selling weapons, medicines and various auxiliary equipment on the street.

What's going on? Is the New Year coming soon in Nanguan? But it's only been a few months. Mu Yang was a little confused.

The road to Ding's house was so crowded that Mu Yang had to raise his Fang Tian Hua Ji high to avoid scratching anyone's butt.

Finally, after passing through the bustling streets with heavy traffic, Mu Yang arrived at Ding Mansion.

However, the Ding Mansion was also decorated with lights and people coming in and out, as if some grand festival was being celebrated.

Mu Yang was even more puzzled. The Ding family was a wealthy family near Nanguan, but they didn't follow the convention and celebrated the festival like ordinary people?

Mu Yang walked into the Ding Mansion with doubts.

As soon as he entered the Ding Mansion, Mu Yang saw Ding Lu holding a big red lantern and playing with a group of children.

When Ding Lu saw Mu Yang coming, she threw the lantern into the group of children, and the children immediately ran away chattering.

"Liu Yang, you're here. Your sister can get out of bed and walk. Has Ding Qing told you?" Ding Lu said happily.

Mu Yang smiled and nodded, "I want to go see her now."

"Let's go together. Ding Qing is probably going to be there too." Ding Lu walked in front with her hands behind her back.

As they walked along the road, Mu Yang recalled the scene he had seen today, so he asked Ding Lu, "I've been walking along the road, and I've noticed that the area near Nanguan is particularly lively?"

Ding Lu looked at Mu Yang strangely, then remembered that he was from the south, so she explained.

"Of course it's lively. The Ghost Festival is coming up soon, and everyone is eager to try it out. The people also want to make a good profit before and after the Ghost Festival."

Ghost festival?

Mu Yang was a little confused.

Seeing that Mu Yang didn't know about the Ghost Festival, Ding Lu began to introduce it to him.

Ghost Festival. This is a unique activity in Jinnanguan. It is usually held once every four years, hosted by the Jinnanguan Commander and organized by the military.

The main thing is a ghost-killing competition. All major sects will send people to fight in the Hunting Forest. The competition is to see who kills the most ghosts.

Because it is a unique activity in Jinnanguan, the locals of Jinnanguan attach great importance to it. Therefore, many warriors who are training or joining the army will return to Jinnanguan before the Ghost Festival to prepare to participate in the Ghost Festival.

Moreover, many outsiders also come to join in the fun and experience the special features of the Nanguan Ghost Festival.

Therefore, there will be a large flow of people near Nanguan before and after the Ghost Festival, and local people will celebrate the Ghost Festival like a festival.

Mu Yang nodded after hearing this. It turned out that there was such a traditional activity near Nanguan.

As they were talking, the two had already arrived at Yang Jiao's residence. When Mu Yang walked in, he heard someone talking inside.

"Xiao Jiao, come with me to the street and take a look. The street near Nanguan is very lively before the ghost festival begins. You have been in Ding Mansion for a while. It is not good to keep yourself in check all the time."

Hmm? Mu Yang recognized Ding Qing's voice, but he felt that what he said was strange.

Ding Lu looked at Mu Yang with a half-smile, as if she was indifferent.

Mu Yang was even more confused.

When he walked into the room, Mu Yang saw Yang Jiao sitting on the bed with a distraught expression, while Ding Qing stood beside Yang Jiao with an anxious look on his face.

Hearing someone coming in, Yang Jiao turned around. The moment she saw Mu Yang, tears filled her eyes and she was about to cry.

Ding Qing also turned to look at Mu Yang and the others. He was surprised at first, then his face immediately turned red and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak.

Suddenly, the four people had different expressions and the room became unusually quiet.

"Ahem, ahem. Ding Qing, you're being so reckless again. Even though Liu Jiao doesn't want to pay attention to you, you're even more attentive. Grandpa is looking for you, go and see him." Ding Lu broke the silence.

"Okay, I'll go right away. Liu Yang, you're here, go see Liu Jiao, she's recovering well." After saying that, Ding Qing ran away without looking back.

Ding Lu held her forehead with one hand, with a look of disappointment on her face. She waved to Mu Yang and left.

Mu Yang and Yang Jiao were the only ones left in the room.

"Can I talk now?" Mu Yang asked Yang Jiao.

Yang Jiao shook her head and looked away.

"Ding Qing is a good boy with good talent. I'll feel relieved to have him taking care of you in the Ding Mansion in the future." Mu Yang said.

Yang Jiao looked at Mu Yang with resentful eyes.
