Looking for you in reincarnation

Si He tied the talisman around her waist, and then she couldn't help but think of the "female ghost" in red she had encountered before. She was not sure what it was. She had been drugged at the time and was dizzy and dazed. She only caught a vague glimpse of it before she fell into coma.

So, she asked in a rather unprofessional way, "Cousin, are there good and bad evil spirits?"

Ning Ji glanced at her and said, "There are good and evil ghosts, but the ghosts that cause harm to people are evil."

Si He pursed her lips and thought about it. Although the "female ghost" in red killed two people, she did not kill her. It can be said that she saved her. If the "female ghost" in red had not appeared, her end would have been very miserable.

"what happened?"

Ning Ji couldn't help but ask when he saw her like this.

Si He then told him about the encounter with the red-clothed "female ghost," and then asked, "Cousin, is this a good ghost?"

Ning Ji pondered for a moment and said, "It can't be called 'good', but it can be said that good and evil are clearly distinguished."

Si He blinked and thought about it carefully.

Ning Ji glanced at the little black snake. It was full at this time and crawled back into her sleeve, staying there obediently.

"Let's go."

"Oh." Si He finally collected her thoughts, glanced at Mo Mo on her wrist, then stood up and continued on her way with him.

On the way, they met two groups of disciples from the immortal sect. It seemed that they were also going to the Stone Village. They were all wearing the same sect uniform and riding tall horses, looking very imposing.

Si He didn't know much about the immortal sects, so she couldn't help but ask Ning Ji, "Cousin, what sect are they from?"

"The one in blue is from the Baishi Sect, and the one in red is from the Hongyun Sect."

"Oh." Si He nodded thoughtfully and asked, "It's said that immortals in ancient times could cultivate immortality. Can the cultivation in the immortal sects today also prolong life?"

Ning Ji rarely spoke a few more words: "In ancient times, spiritual energy was abundant, and the hundreds of immortal sects each had their own ways of cultivation. Cultivation is inherently a life-or-death struggle, mysterious and unpredictable, so it's no surprise that there were immortal methods that could lead to immortality. Now that spiritual energy has dissipated, even if there were ancient ways of cultivation, they wouldn't be able to be practiced, but there are still ways to prolong life."

Upon hearing this, Si He's eyes suddenly sparkled. "I heard that in ancient times, there were still people who practiced evil ways, witchcraft was prevalent, and many spells didn't require spiritual energy to perform. So the dissipation of spiritual energy shouldn't have had much of an impact on them, right? Why have those Taoist traditions declined now?"

Ning Ji: "From ancient times to the present, no dynasty has been able to thrive forever. There are many reasons for decline, including problems with the ruler, conflicts of interest between ethnic groups, intrusions from external forces, and the changing nature of the world. The same applies to spiritual cultivation. The conflicts in ancient times were even more severe. Before the spiritual energy dissipated, the witch clan and the demonic sect had already been suppressed to the point of being unable to recover. Their inheritance was almost cut off, and decline was inevitable."

Si He thought of Old Man Jiang's half-human, half-ghost appearance and continued to ask, "If the traditions of the witch clan and the demonic path were passed down and practiced by the world, I'm afraid they would rise again, right? After all, the spiritual energy in the world has dissipated, and there are no powerful immortals who can suppress them."

Although the disciples in the immortal sect today are all very powerful and have great skills, able to drive away evil spirits and subdue demons, they are all mortals, and there is a world of difference between them and the legendary ancient immortal sect. There is no comparison at all. After all, the disciples of the immortal sect in ancient times were truly immortals, and the demons in ancient times were not comparable to those in the world today.

"There are indeed some witch and demonic traditions handed down in this world, especially in some tribes in the Far North. However, cultivation also requires resources. After the spiritual energy dissipated, resources are scarce. Even if there are inheritances handed down, it is difficult to practice them. Their situation is more difficult than that of the immortal sects, otherwise they would not have disappeared by now."

After hearing what Ning Ji said, Si He seemed to be thinking for a while before she continued, "Cultivation resources are rare treasures produced by heaven and earth. Since they are things, can humans cultivate them?"

The parchment scroll recorded that fierce corpses could cultivate spiritual essences, which were a cultivation resource for the Wu clan. She had also witnessed it with her own eyes; it was true!

The old man Jiang dug out the spiritual essence from the corpse's body and swallowed it. He then put the corpse back into the coffin to suppress it. He also cultivated several new corpses in the tomb. He used the tomb as a nest for cultivating spiritual essences to meet his future needs.

Ning Ji looked at her with a slightly deep look in his eyes and said, "Maybe."

Si He now developed a strong interest in the path of cultivation, and kept asking Ning Ji questions along the way, eager to learn.

This guy really is not to be judged by appearance. Not only is he skilled in martial arts, he is also very good at finding and making medicines. Moreover, he was once a disciple of an immortal sect. He is well versed in this field and is very knowledgeable.

If he had not been disfigured, had not been recognized for his talent, and had not retired to the city, he would have definitely become a remarkable figure.

Si He naturally would not miss such a rare opportunity and asked him for more advice. In this world, it is difficult to find a good teacher who suits you.

Along the way, she chirped like a noisy little bird.

Ning Ji was a quiet person to begin with, and it was rare for her to say so much before, but she became even more outrageous and kept asking questions.

Moreover, she asked very detailed questions. If he didn't respond, she would act like a spoiled child and pester him with all kinds of tricks, which made him feel helpless.

Although she is noisy and annoying, her attitude towards learning is very good and her appearance is playful and cute, making it difficult for many people to refuse her.

So, along the way, she learned a lot of things that she had never come into contact with before, which was very new to her.

Until a scream interrupted her question.

"what……"

The sudden screams from afar sounded creepy.

Si He was almost frightened. She turned her head and looked towards the source of the sound, but she could not see anything because of the dense forest in front of her.

"Cousin, are we almost at Stone Village?"

Si He estimated that the distance should be about the right distance.

"Ah."

Ning Ji responded and looked up at the sky. It was gloomy today, with no sun. The autumn wind was blowing and it was a bit chilly.

This is really not good weather.

"Let's go and have a look."

As Ning Ji spoke, he walked towards the source of the sound, and Si He followed closely behind him.

After walking out of the woods, Stone Village is a hundred meters ahead. At the entrance of the village, a group of people gathered, including disciples of the immortal sect, officials, and people passing by to watch the excitement. The scene was very noisy.

Ning Ji and Si He stood at the edge of the woods, looking at the village.

At this time, many people were carrying some wood and working together to surround the exit of the entire village. They were also sprinkling things and sticking talismans on the wood.

Especially at the entrance of the village, there was a row of yellow talismans pasted on the wooden railings. When the autumn wind blew, the talisman papers fluttered, and the whole village was filled with a strange and evil aura, making people feel a gust of cold wind.

When Si He saw this scene, she couldn't help but frown.
