Thriller Night Talk

The "A Song" in Beiquan's mouth is, in a sense, Beiquan's senior brother.

Ah Song is also an orphan.

It should be said that those who can be adopted by the master are all orphans with special "birth" or "talent".

It's just that Ah Song entered the secret realm of Zhuling much earlier than Beiquan. When Beiquan met him, the other party was already a mature man in his 40s.

Ah Song was already a steward in Zhuling's secret realm at that time, working in Shuge, responsible for sorting out and transcribing some classics.

Beiquan has very little contact with this brother Ah Song, and the number of times they meet each year can be counted on ten fingers.

In Beiquan's memory, Ah Song was a gentle and taciturn person.When the two met, they mostly nodded politely and said hello to each other, other than that, they seldom communicated with each other.

Although Beiquan grew up from a baby when he came to the Zhuling Secret Realm, the soul in his heart is an adult who has been dead for hundreds of years. Naturally, he knows how to behave better than a child, and he will not indiscriminately pry into other people's secrets.

So it wasn't until Ah Song betrayed the master and fled to the world with the ecstasy banner that he learned about the origin of this senior from the master.

Ah Song is from the Wu tribe.

In fact, not only Ah Song, but also the people staying in the secret land of Zhuling, including Beiquan's body, more or less have the blood of the Wu clan.

Legend has it that in ancient times, the witch clan once prospered and shared China with the human race and the monster race.

The bloodline talent of the Wu people is very powerful. They have strong inspiration and are better at learning and using spells than the human race. This makes them have warriors whose individual combat ability is far better than that of the human race. culture.

It's a pity that people as powerful as the Wu clan, and like many civilizations after that, were crushed to powder by the torrent of history.

In order to maintain the purity of their blood, the Wu people intermarry all the year round, even among close relatives.

Back then, the Wu tribe would let their younger sisters marry their own older brothers, or directly let their daughters marry their biological fathers after their mothers died, because they thought that this would give birth to children with the purest blood.

If any clansman dared to have an affair with the human race or the monster race, he would be regarded as a traitor and executed, and the half-breed children he gave birth to would also be discarded in the mountains and forests to be taken away by wild beasts.

After hundreds of years like this, the blood talent of the witch clan became stronger and stronger, but began to gradually decline.

I don't know when, the birth rate of newborns of the Wu nationality has dropped to an appalling level, and more and more deformed children are born.

At that time, Wu Zu felt that this was a curse.

Some Wu people began to try to use their knowledge to create spells that could break the curse, and a small group of people found another way and tried to solve this problem in another way.

It's just that before the crisis of bloodline inheritance can be resolved, various ethnic groups began to compete in the Central Plains.

After several wars, the Wu clan was almost slaughtered as the loser, and the remaining clansmen also kept their names incognito and scattered everywhere.

The remaining shamans and human races intermarried, and the blood line was diluted from generation to generation, and most of the inheritance was lost in the vicissitudes of time and vicissitudes.

After thousands of years of inheritance, the existing blood of the Wu clan has become so thin that it is almost negligible, but even with such a thin blood, there will still be one or two "freaks" from time to time, with talents and endowments that ordinary people can't understand .

In fact, today's Taoism, alchemy, exorcising rituals, witchcraft, and even the head-bending technique that is flourishing in Southeast Asia are all inextricably linked and inseparable from the inheritance of the witches.

The Zhuling Secret Realm used to be a secret realm where the Wu people lived in seclusion to avoid being chased and killed. More than 100 angry ghosts were also born here.

Yes, vengeful ghosts are just another method that the Wu people finally tried to solve the blood curse.

They gave up their aging, sick, and dying physical bodies and transformed themselves into another life form.

It's a pity that although this group of Wu people became angry ghosts, they still couldn't really solve the problem.

Because angry ghosts need to attach to human beings and feed on the negative energy of human beings.

So they can only leave Zhuling's secret realm, join the human world, transfer from one host to another, and constantly absorb food.

If there are many tragedies caused by angry ghosts, they will naturally be noticed by righteous practitioners.

It has gone through three dynasties, more than 230 years, from the first vengeful ghost being sealed in the Fanshen banner to the recovery of the last known vengeful ghost.

Then Beiquan's "Master" officially took over the Zhuling Secret Realm, and the Mishen Banner, together with other dangerous items, was heavily sealed and locked deeply in this side hall...

…………

……

...until Ah Song stole the fanfare banner and fled to the world.

[A Song has lived in Zhuling Secret Realm for nearly 180 years. 】

puppet said:

[I've never found him to have that kind of ambition before. 】

Ah Song was very low-key when he was in Zhuling Secret Realm, and he didn't seem to have any other hobbies except reading.

Even the manager of the Zhuling Secret Realm, Beiquan's master, doesn't know how far his apprentice has cultivated, and when did he know the secret of the raging ghost, and even started to think about it.

"A Song seems to be trying to 'create' a new hate ghost."

Beiquan briefly told the puppet what he saw and heard when he investigated Zhu Hongluo:

"But what's the point of doing this to him? It can't be because he loves scientific research, right?"

[Nonsense! 】

The puppet wanted to hit Beiquan again, but its hands were not long enough due to the limitation of its sitting position.

【Where's your brain? !Think about it! 】

Beiquan suppressed his joking look.

He has actually thought about this issue seriously.

"I was wondering, Ah Song...does he also want to become a hate ghost?"

【Um. 】

The puppet nodded exaggeratedly again.

【exactly. 】

The master told Beiquan that Ah Song's real age was close to two hundred years old.

Ah Song is a cultivator and has lived in the secret realm of Zhuling for a long time. His life expectancy is longer than ordinary people, and his appearance has always been in his early forties, which looks very young.

But two hundred years old is close to the limit for a human being.

Beiquan's master once calculated for him that Ah Song's life expectancy is only five years.

Unfortunately, it is obvious that Ah Song feels that he has not lived enough.

At the last stage of his life, he decided to take a desperate risk and fled to the world with the magic banner.

"I see."

Beiquan nodded:

"No wonder Ah Song uses the technique of seizing the house."

Although "Seize the house" is a forbidden technique, if you want to learn it, you can easily find a detailed ancient book in the bookstore in the secret place of Zhuling.

As the steward of the bookstore, Ah Song doesn't need to report, and he doesn't have to worry about attracting suspicion. He can learn whenever he wants.

But the technique of seizing the body has a very serious flaw, that is, the body that has been seized cannot be compatible with the soul, it will rapidly age and become weak, and it will not be able to continue to be used within three to five years at the most, so it can only look for a new body.

Moreover, repeated seizures will make the energy of the caster's three souls and seven souls weaker and weaker. It is impossible to say which one of the souls will be lost during the transfer. Neither would want to try.

So "seize the house" is just a stopgap measure for Ah Song.

He's buying himself time.

In order to live for a long time, Ah Song wants to turn himself into an existence like a ghost, who can live forever without relying on the physical body.

Beiquan died in Juyin, so his body did not rot and his soul did not disperse. He "lived" in the state of a ghost cultivator for hundreds of years until he entered this body.

Although being a ghost was not voluntary, Beiquan felt that he should have some say in this aspect.

Comparing his past and present life, if he had a choice, he would be willing to be a human being.

Although becoming a "Northern Spring" means that he will experience life, old age, sickness and death like an ordinary person, and finally walk to the end of this life, just like thousands of people who have passed away, take the road to Huangquan, enter the Hall of Reincarnation, cross the Naihe Bridge, and then Abandon the past and go to the next life alone.

But at least, he once had this life.

He has experienced the joys and sorrows, joys and sorrows, love and hatred, love and hatred of being a human being.

He owned Wei Fuyuan.

Beiquan can guess Ah Song's thoughts, but he doesn't want to understand him at all.

Now Beiquan just wants to quickly get rid of the thorny problem of Ah Song, and then catch all the evil spirits wandering around the world one by one, so as to end the task assigned by his master.

--Then?

Beiquan curled his lips into a smile.

Do you need to ask?

——Of course, I will stay and fly with my little boyfriend from now on, and I only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals!

"From this point of view, in order to prevent more innocent people from being taken away, the most urgent task is to catch Ah Song's primordial spirit as soon as possible."

Beiquan corrected his sitting posture and said to his master:

"But I'm not sure what kind of 'Duoshe' Ah Song is using."

Yes, although they are all called "Duoshe", in fact, "Duoshe" is a general term for a category of spells.

Just as Taoism's magic-removing spells and Tantric's magic-killing spells are two completely different things, depending on the source and genre of the spells, each school's "duoshe" also has its own characteristics.

It is a pity that there are many classics of sects in the bookstore in Zhuling's secret realm, and five or six kinds can be found out just by the seizing technique. Figure out who the person who was taken away by him is.

Beiquan remembers that there is a seizing technique in the Western Regions, which is similar to the so-called "devil possessing" in the West. The way to choose the target is very random-attach your soul to a certain jewelry, as long as the victim wears it, it will be killed. Its soul is possessed.

If Ah Song used this trick, then Beiquan wanted to find him in the vast crowd, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

[Oh, there is no other way, right? 】

The puppet sneered with its dry mechanical voice:

[It doesn't matter, being a teacher has his own tricks. 】

After that, it raised its hand and stretched out to a bogu rack on the left.

[Take that box down. 】

The puppet's hand is in the fist-clenching posture of the whole sculpture, and it can only gesture in a general direction, so it added:

【I mean, the one with the peony pattern on the red silk face. 】
