Chapter 35: Ghost
"Pfizer City?! Are they here too?" The blue-robed monk Gu Jiachen exchanged a glance with the man next to him and changed the subject.
"Fellow Daoist, how is my tenth brother?" Gu Jiachen asked.
Gu Shihan stretched out his hand to feel the patient's pulse and found that the patient already had a pulse. He estimated that the ancestor Gu Yanli had succeeded in taking over his body.
Gu Shihan said calmly: "Not bad! He should be able to wake up in a while. What is your name, fellow Taoist?"
"Fellow Daoist, thank you very much! My tenth brother is called Gu Jiahui, he came here to save us... He could have easily escaped..." Gu Jiachen's face was filled with sadness.
Gu Jiarong and Gu Jiachen took the pills and continued to meditate to recover their bodies. On the other side, Gu Yanli finally took control of his body. Perhaps as they were of the same Gu family bloodline, he was able to use this body quite easily.
It’s just that he has lost all of Gu Jiahui’s memories, so he can only pretend to have amnesia for a while.
When Gu Yanli opened his eyes, Gu Shihan told him his identity and the relationship between him and the two men.
"Brother Shi, are you awake?!" Gu Jiarong quickly came to his side.
Gu Yanli, no! The current Gu Jiahui looked at the strange man and said, "I'm sorry, I don't seem to remember you, my consciousness is a little weak!"
"What, Brother Ten, you don't remember me? I am the Seventeenth Gu Jiarong, and he is the Thirteenth Gu Jiachen. Thirteenth Brother, Brother Ten has lost his memory! Is his soul damaged?" Gu Jiarong said in panic.
Gu Shihan was silent for a moment, then said, "Ahem, everyone, this fellow Taoist's soul was indeed eroded by ghosts and spirits. Fortunately, his soul is relatively strong, so he only suffered some damage and lost his memory. In serious cases, he may become stupid. This is a blessing in disguise."
Gu Shihan watched the three of them interacting well, and said in a voice transmission: "Ancestor, you can go with them! Now I am a disciple of Wuhua Sect and will not return to the Gu family. Gu Jiahui's identity is just right for you!"
Gu Jiahui was silent for a long time, then said, "Okay! I will fight for a place in the Gu family, so that you will have a place to stay if you want to come back in the future."
"Okay! Let's say goodbye here. The things in this storage ring are specially picked out for you, you can use them!" Gu Shihan secretly stuffed a storage ring into Gu Jiahui's hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, can you tell us the purpose of your coming here?" Gu Shihan thought for a moment and asked straight to the point.
"Fellow Daoist, an elder in our Gu family accidentally obtained two Tianyou Pearls here. Tianyou Pearls are the main ingredient for refining soul pills. Soul pills are too rare in the spiritual world, so we came here..." Gu Jiachen said after thinking for a while.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, does anyone else know about this Tianyou Pearl?"
"There shouldn't be any at the moment, but every branch of our Gu family has sent people here. We didn't expect this trip to be so dangerous. We almost lost our lives." Gu Jiarong said with lingering fear.
"I see! Please feel free to do as you please. Goodbye!" Gu Shihan clasped his fists and bowed, preparing to leave.
Gu Yanli, also known as Gu Jiahui, recognized the body's owner's storage magic weapon again, took out the sound transmission talisman from it and said, "Daoyou, this is for you. I don't plan to continue my training. I must find a place to heal my wounds. I will leave Yangqi Mountains now. Contact me if you need anything!"
"Okay! Take care!" Gu Shihan received another sound transmission note from the Gu brothers and left quickly.
"Brother Shi, are you okay? Let's leave Yangqishan now." Gu Jiarong supported Gu Jiahui, and the three of them left without stopping.
"Hanhan, are you letting your ancestor leave just like that?" Xingbai asked.
"Well, he is a member of the Gu family, and the Gu family is his roots. Let's go and look for ghosts and spirits!" A man and a fox wandered around in the woods and got two more Tianyou Pearls.
As the sky grew darker, the Yangqi Mountains became increasingly gloomy and colder.
Gu Shihan found a cave and planned to spend the night there. At midnight, the sky seemed to be covered by thick fog, and neither the stars nor the moon could be seen.
It was dark and silent everywhere. "Xingbai, do you think it's too quiet?"
"It's indeed unusual! The Yin energy seems to be very heavy. Hanhan, hang up one more Chiyang Jade, otherwise you will enter the space!" Xingbai whispered.
While the man and the fox were talking, bursts of whimpering sounds suddenly came from the woods. Gu Shihan was frightened by what he saw.
I saw a green ghost fire flickering, and behind it were a dozen monks.
It was obvious that these monks were being controlled; they were dull and had glazed eyes.
"Ding Dong, a random mission is launched! Kill ghosts and spirits, save people, change life value +30, give up and change life value -50."
Gu Shihan frowned. This random task was really random. Didn’t he have any choice?
Well! In order not to become cannon fodder, there is no choice but to do the mission and not be cannon fodder!
"Hanhan, there's something wrong with those people. What should we do? Should we save them or not?" Xingbai asked?
"Xingbai, we must save him, but how can we save him and get away with it safely?"
"Let's follow and see where the destination of the will-o'-the-wisp is. Why do I feel like this is controlled by someone? Could it be that these ghosts are also raised by humans?!" Gu Shihan said to himself.
The man and the fox concealed their breath and fell far behind the team. After walking for about half an hour, the team in front stopped.
Xing Bai quietly checked and said, "There is a valley ahead, surrounded by mountains on all sides. It is probably the legendary Ghost Crying Forest.
Gu Shihan and Xingbai walked forward and saw three bodies that had died only a few days ago in a pile of rocks.
They can't be called corpses because only skin and skeleton are left of them, without any blood, flesh or essence.
After turning a corner, I saw three identical bodies on a hill, even the clothes they were wearing were the same.
Gu Shihan discovered that as long as she turned in one direction, she would see three identical corpses.
"Xingbai, what's going on?" Gu Shihan was confused and waved his hand to burn it clean.
"Hanhan, do you have anything to ward off evil spirits? Give me some. This place makes me feel scared just looking at it!"
"Xingbai, you...are good!" Gu Shihan took out two strings of Buddhist beads, gave one to Xingbai and wore one for himself.
After putting on the Buddhist beads, the cold feeling seemed to be alleviated a little. It seems to be quite useful.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and the pedestrian who was there just now disappeared. Was he lost? Did something in the dark discover his existence?
Gu Shihan calmed himself down, picked a direction and moved forward. He didn't know how long he had been walking, but it seemed that he and the little white fox were the only ones in this area.
"Xingbai, we are lost and can't find the exit!"
Gu Shihan shot out a fireball, and a "squeaking" sound was heard. The darkness seemed to retreat a little, and the light of the moon shone down.
Pair after pair of green eyes opened on every tree and weed. A gust of wind blew, making a whimpering, ghostly cry, and rushed towards Gu Shihan recklessly.
