Chapter 133 Guardian Spirit 1

As soon as Yao Rong opened her eyes, she realized something was wrong.

It was so dark around her without a trace of light, the air was dull and silent, let alone the sound of the wind, she couldn't even hear her own heartbeat or breathing.

She tried to stretch out her right hand to touch the surroundings to make sure she was not lying in a coffin.

Very good, at least this means she is not a corpse.

With a thought, Yao Rong found that she was actually floating.

So she is now in a ghost state?

While she was thinking about it, the system transmitted her memories and the plot.

This is a modern metaphysical world where humans and ghosts coexist.

The vast majority of people will enter the underworld and reincarnate again after they die, while a very small number of people will stay in the human world after they die because of deep obsessions and other reasons, and will not enter reincarnation, and become ghosts.

Too many ghosts will easily affect the order of human society.

Therefore, since ancient times, there has been a lineage of heavenly masters who are responsible for exploring feng shui, exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts.

The original body was born in a long-lost family of heavenly masters. Since childhood, he has had a very high talent for cultivation and was placed high hopes by his father.

The original body did not disappoint his father's expectations. He practiced diligently and stood out in the heavenly master competition at the age of 22. He also met Xie Zhou, the young patriarch of the Xie family.

After marriage, the two had a son named Xie Xiu.

When Xie Xiu was two years old, the Xie family received a message: a certain mountain forest had become a place of evil, and powerful ghosts might be born.

This forest is not far from the Xie family. Once a powerful ghost appears, the first victim is the Xie family. So Xie Zhou, the young patriarch, led a team to investigate, but lost contact with the outside world. The soul lamp left in the Xie family was also flickering, and it was obvious that his life was hanging by a thread.

The original body was worried about her husband and decided to rush to help.

Before leaving, the original body entrusted Xie Xiu to Xie Xiu's grandfather, the head of the Xie family.

This evil place is quite strange. Even though the original body made many preparations, she still failed to find her husband and his group, and was robbed and killed.

Xie Zhou is the only son of the Xie clan leader, and the team Xie Zhou brought is the elite of the Xie clan leader's lineage. With their death and the death of the original body, the strength of the clan leader's lineage was greatly hit. In addition, the clan leader suddenly became seriously ill and could not control the situation, so the Xie family fell into internal strife.

In the chaos, Xie Xiu disappeared.

Except for the clan leader's lineage who actively searched for Xie Xiu's whereabouts, the rest of the Xie family did nothing.

When the clan leader could not bear it anymore and passed away, the Xie family's side branch took over, and no one cared whether Xie Xiu was dead or alive.

On the other hand, Xie Xiu did not die.

He was captured by a kidnapping gang. Later, the police cracked down on the kidnapping gang and rescued him and other children. Because they could not find his biological parents, the police sent him to an orphanage.

He still vaguely remembered that his last name was Xie, so the director of the orphanage gave him a new name: Xie Yinian.

Later, Xie Yinian was adopted twice and returned to the orphanage twice.

Many children in the orphanage were disabled, but Xie Yinian was not only healthy but also very likable. He should not have had any trouble being adopted. Who knew that he would encounter so many setbacks?

The director felt sorry for him, but Xie Yinian comforted the director: "Maybe I was born with a shallow relationship with my parents. From now on, the orphanage is my home, and the director and the children in the orphanage are my relatives." After finishing

junior high school, Xie Yinian did not continue his studies, but chose to go out to work.

Xie Yinian tried many jobs, such as washing dishes, setting up stalls, and delivering takeout.

He worked hard, was smart, and knew how to read people's faces. If his life could continue like this, it would be peaceful and smooth.

Unfortunately, such a peaceful life did not last long.

When he was sixteen, Xie Yinian began to see ghosts frequently.

He was panic-stricken and didn't know what to do, let alone who to tell.

At this time, Xie Yinian met a middle-aged man who was full of weirdness.

The middle-aged man said his surname was Zhang and donated a large sum of money to the orphanage. When he saw Xie Yinian for the first time, he immediately pointed out the abnormality of Xie Yinian and said that he was a heavenly master and donated money to do charity in order to accumulate merit.

With the help of this Tianshi Zhang, Xie Yinian finally didn't have to worry about seeing ghosts as soon as he went out.

Although he was short of money, he still insisted on transferring most of his savings to Zhang Tianshi.

Zhang Tianshi did not take his money, but instead gave him a talisman to ward off evil spirits: "You have a special physique, and it is easy to attract evil spirits. I can only help you for a while. If you want to protect yourself, you still have to practice."

Xie Yinian was surprised and happy: "Can I become a Tianshi too?"

Zhang Tianshi gave him an introductory technique and a formation, and asked him to read the introductory technique and draw the formation to draw the qi into the body: "You and I have a destiny. When you complete the step of drawing the qi into the body, you can officially worship me as your master."

Xie Yinian respectfully accepted these things.

At first, he just flipped through the technique casually and had not made up his mind to practice.

But after a while, the magic that Zhang Tianshi left on Xie Yinian lost its effect, and he saw ghosts again. One day, he almost died at the hands of a fierce ghost, and he saved his life by relying on the evil-repelling talisman that Zhang Tianshi left for him.

So far, Xie Yinian was completely convinced by Zhang Tianshi.

But what Xie Yinian didn't expect was that after he drew the formation, what was waiting for him was not a smooth road to change his life, but a fierce ghost with a terrifying face.

While his consciousness was blurred, Xie Yinian wondered what was going on.

Did he draw the formation wrong, or did Zhang Tianshi want to harm him.

If Zhang Tianshi wanted to harm him, what was he trying to do

? What could the other party plot against him?

Could it be that the other party wanted his life?

...

[Ding, the plot has been transmitted, mission: save Xie Yinian and make him feel happy]

[The system detects that Xie Yinian's current bad luck value is 85, please act as soon as possible]

***

This is a forest located deep in the mountains.

Outside this forest, the sun is shining and animals are active.

But inside this forest, there is no light and no living creature.

Yao Rong raised her hand and waved it.

Yin energy surged out from her fingertips and condensed into a light blue ghost fire, which hung beside her and illuminated all directions.

"According to the laws of this world, after the death of the Heavenly Master, it should not be possible for him to become a ghost."

[It should be so. The Heavenly Master and ghosts have been enemies for thousands of years. Anyone who embarks on the path of the Heavenly Master will have his soul taken over directly by the underworld after death.]

Yao Rong asked: "What is my situation now?"

She died thirteen years ago.

But now she survives in another form.

The system did not reply immediately, and it was obviously a little confused about the situation.

Yao Rong lowered her eyes and tried to control her body.

She could walk freely in the forest, but she could not leave the forest. It seemed that she was bound to this evil land.

Evil spirits have been bred in this evil place since ancient times, and ghosts have been nurtured there. After her death, she was able to break the law and turn into a fierce ghost. Is it related to this place?

As soon as this thought came up, it was confirmed by the system:

[The Yinsha Land is filled with a large amount of Yinsha Qi, and it is a very dangerous place. The original body died tragically here, which may have caused some kind of mutation.]

Yao Rong sighed lightly: "It is said that powerful ghosts will be born in the Yinsha Land. This legend can't be true for me."

[The host is worrying too much]

After getting a positive answer from the system, Yao Rong threw this worry behind his mind and asked, "I seem to be tied to this place. How can I leave?"

[After refining all the Yinsha Qi in this place, you can enter and exit freely.]

Yao Rong frowned slightly, tried a few more times, and found that he could not get out now: "Yinian's bad luck value is 85. Is he turning sixteen now?"

[Zhang Tianshi has appeared, and there is still one month before Xie Yinian's death.]

Yao Rong took a deep breath: "It seems that I have to hurry up."

She has done countless missions, visited the supernatural world several times, and served as a Tianshi several times. Although it was her first time as a ghost, she knew how to absorb these evil spirits after a little experiment.

This evil place can cause Xie Zhou, the original body and others to suffer disasters, which is enough to show its power.

Yao Rong estimated that if she successfully absorbed and refined these evil spirits, she should be able to directly enter the ranks of ghost kings.

Thinking of this, Yao Rong calmed down and tried her best to start refining.

Time passed like water, flowing away bit by bit. Yao Rong still maintained the same posture as before, until the sunlight penetrated the dense branches and leaves, fell on her eyelashes and danced.

Yao Rong slowly opened her eyes.

The confinement here on her was already minimal, and she could leave in three days at most.

The remaining evil spirits did not need to be deliberately refined. Yao Rong absorbed them while wandering in the mountains and forests.

[What are you looking for? ] The system asked curiously.

"I'm looking for..."

Yao Rong stopped abruptly before she finished speaking.

In front of the line of sight, more than twenty skeletons were sitting cross-legged quietly.

These skeletons formed a circle, all maintaining the posture of casting spells when they were alive.

In the middle of the circle, a skeleton was sitting upright, as if it was the person presiding over the formation.

The skeleton was wearing a black ring on its index finger. It

was simple and profound, with beautiful patterns, and was a truly extraordinary product.

Twenty-five years ago, when Xie Zhou, the young patriarch of the Xie family, turned eighteen, the patriarch of the Xie family spent countless rare treasures to create a top-quality magic weapon for his son to celebrate his coming of age.

Since Xie Zhou entered the Yinsha Land, the black magic ring also disappeared from the sight of the world along with him.

"So that's how it is."

Ghosts don't cry, but when Yao Rong saw this black magic ring, she actually had the urge to cry.

This was the feeling that the original body had for Xie Zhou that remained in her.

"I know why the original body can turn into a ghost."

"Even if I become a ghost, and am despised by all the heavenly masters, and never enter the cycle of reincarnation, I will take Xie Zhou home... Is this the original body's obsession..."

As if sensing something, the black magic ring suddenly lit up with a white light and made a resonant sound.

Yao Rong squatted down, used Yin Qi to condense the illusory palm into a solid body, and gently touched the black magic ring.

The black magic ring calmed down again.

After a long time, Yao Rong stood up, chose a very good Feng Shui location in the forest, and began to dig a grave: "I can't take you back to the Xie family's ancestral tomb for the time being, I can only collect your bones for you first, and take you home one day."

Xie Zhou's tomb was the largest.

Yao Rong used Yin Qi to hold his bones and gently put them into the tomb.

She did not bury it immediately, but continued to search in the forest, and finally found another skeleton on the other side of the forest.

This was Yao Rong's own body.

When she died, she was only one kilometer away from Xie Zhou.

And now, the couple was finally buried together.

Before covering the yellow sand, Yao Rong took off the black magic ring: "When Xiu'er turns 18, give him this ring as a gift for adulthood."

This black magic ring is indeed carefully made by the Xie clan leader.

Xie Zhou and his group had many treasures, but after more than ten years, those treasures were eroded by the evil spirit and none of them survived.

Only the black magic ring was intact.

After burying everyone, Yao Rong found a few broken trees, used the Yin Qi to turn into sharp blades, and carved out 24 tombstones, engraved words on each, and placed them in front of the tomb.

"I am a ghost now. What will happen if I recite the Rebirth Sutra for them?"

After a moment of silence, the system said: [It is not possible that you will also be reborn]

Yao Rong: "..."

She was obviously asking the question very seriously.

"I have mastered so many Tianshi magics, and I am also good at drawing talismans. Now that I have become a ghost, I definitely cannot use the magics, but what about the talismans?"

If you want to use magic, you must mobilize your own cultivation, so she definitely cannot use the Tianshi magic.

But drawing talismans means storing the spiritual energy of the world in the outside world. Is this not possible? This

is the first time the system has heard that ghosts want to draw talismans.

This time it is really a ghost drawing talismans.

[Can you mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth now? ]

Yao Rong said: "The spiritual energy of heaven and earth belongs to all living beings in the world. This world can accommodate the existence of ghosts, which means that ghosts are also one of the living beings in the world. Why can't it be mobilized?"

The system was speechless.

It realized one thing.

These taskers who have experienced countless worlds, in addition to their abilities and character far superior to newcomers, they also explore the laws of the world far better than newcomers.

Many hidden rules may not even be detected by the system, but Yao Rong can detect the clues at the first time.

Yao Rong tried to recite the Sutra of Rebirth, and as she expected, she did not feel any discomfort.

After reciting it forty-nine times in a row, Yao Rong stopped and continued to explore the place.

Seeing that she was eager to dig three feet into the ground, the system could not help but pop up again: [Host, what are you looking for? ]

"This is a deep forest, not a mass grave. Tell me, why did it suddenly become a place of evil?"

There must be a reason.

The system thought for a moment: [Do you suspect that there are ghost soldiers here? ]

Yao Rong sensed a dangerous and powerful aura and smiled slightly: "This is not a suspicion."

***

"Landlord, here is the deposit and the first month's rent, please count it."

At the door of the basement, Xie Yinian handed over 600 yuan.

The landlord stared at his neck for several times, hesitating whether to take it.

Xie Yinian pursed his lips and pulled his collar subconsciously.

In the hot summer, he wore a coat with the collar turned up high, but it couldn't cover the purple and black marks.

The landlord was an elderly man. He looked at Xie Yinian's face and asked, "Did you have a fight with someone?"

Xie Yinian lowered his head and said, "Well... If you are worried that I will cause you trouble, forget it, I will rent a place else."

"Forget it, forget it, I'll give you the key." The landlord handed the key to Xie Yinian.

Xie Yinian thanked him, picked up the bag on his back, and pushed the suitcase into the narrow basement.

He is only sixteen years old this year, and he has grown to 1.75 meters tall . He

grew too fast, and his figure looked a little thin.

His hair had not been taken care of for a while, and it fell down in front of his forehead and ears, softening his angular profile.

Unfortunately, the dark circles under his eyes and the haggardness and sleepiness between his eyebrows ruined the handsomeness of his facial features.

There was no chair in the basement, so Xie Yinian took off his coat and schoolbag and sat on the mattress in a daze.

He has been encountering ghosts since two months ago.

A month ago, he met Zhang Tianshi who came to the orphanage to do charity. With the help of Zhang Tianshi, he lived a peaceful life for a few days and got a talisman from Zhang Tianshi to drive away evil spirits.

But the good times didn't last long. The night before yesterday, he finished a day's work and walked home, but he felt a gust of cold wind behind him.

Before he could turn around, a long hair with a strong smell of blood entangled his neck from behind.

Just when he was about to suffocate, the evil-repelling talisman he had hidden in his pocket emitted a golden light, shining on the hair.

A miserable scream came from behind, and then the long hair broke.

Xie Yinian did not dare to look back, and he rolled and crawled back home, only to find that the evil-repelling talisman had turned into ashes.

It must be the evil-repelling talisman given by Zhang Tianshi that saved him. Xie Yinian thought.

There was only one evil-repelling talisman, and Xie Yinian was worried that the long-haired female ghost would come to kill him again. He could not contact Zhang Tianshi, so he could only pin his hopes on the formation given by Zhang Tianshi.

He originally shared a room with three friends from the orphanage, but Xie Yinian was worried that his use of formations would affect his three friends, so he moved out temporarily and rented this basement room.

Thinking of this, Xie Yinian came back to his senses a little.

The basement was not ventilated and there was no air conditioning. There was only a fan turning slowly.

Xie Yinian had only sat for a while when he was soaked.

He went to get some water and washed his face. Then he carried out the cinnabar and other items he had bought, and began to draw and arrange them according to the formation diagram.

The formation diagram was not complicated, and Xie Yinian quickly arranged it.

He sat cross-legged in the middle of the formation diagram and recited the simple Dharma.

As soon as he finished reading the first sentence, Xie Yinian felt a chill all over his body, and the temperature around him seemed to have dropped a lot.

Xie Yinian's hair stood up, but thinking of the ghosts hiding in the dark, he simply closed his eyes and continued to read.

Tick-tock, tick-tock.

There seemed to be the sound of water echoing.

A damp and fishy smell spread in the house.

Xie Yinian felt uneasy, but the spell was only two short sentences and could be read in less than ten seconds, leaving him no time to stop.

He pursed his lips, and just as he opened his eyes, he saw a face with completely reversed features facing him face to face, and long hair soaked in blood climbed up his neck in an instant.

"Ghost!!!"

Xie Yinian screamed and fainted on the spot.

Yao Rong who just arrived: "..."

System who just arrived: [……]

Yao Rong took a step forward, stretched out his hand to grab the female ghost's hair, and threw the female ghost aside.

The female ghost screamed, the ghost energy rose, and continued to rush towards Xie Yinian.

Yao Rong released his Yin energy and went straight to the female ghost.

The female ghost felt this momentum and froze in place. The next second, she turned around and wanted to escape through the wall, but found that she could no longer escape from this small basement.

"You have the power of a contract. Are you an evil ghost raised by Tianshi?"

Yao Rong saw through her followers at a glance: "Your master is that Zhang Tianshi, right."

Without waiting for the ghost to answer, Yao Rong turned her right hand, and a long black sword appeared in front of her. The hilt of the sword fell into her palm: "Since you dare to scare him, then use you to test the power of the ghost soldiers."

The ghost had no power to resist at all. She was swept by the sword and her soul flew away on the spot.

Yao Rong walked in front of Xie Yinian, leaned over to look at his elegant eyebrows, and after a while, she poked Xie Yinian's forehead with her finger, leaving a red mark on his forehead. She said angrily and amusedly: "With such courage, you dare to draw a formation casually. No wonder you fell into someone's trap."

***

Xie Yinian had a very terrible nightmare.

In the dream, a female ghost with inverted features entangled his neck and insisted on marrying him. He was so scared that he turned pale and wanted to yell, "What do you like about me? Can't I change it?"

Then he woke up with a start.

Xie Yinian sat up from the ground, first touched his neck, then touched his heart, made sure his heart was still beating, and immediately patted his chest: "Fortunately, fortunately, it was just a dream, I am still alive and well."

As soon as the voice fell, Xie Yinian felt something was wrong and raised his head suddenly.

On the bare mattress, a young woman who looked to be in her twenties sat cross-legged.

A long black sword was across her knees.

She had beautiful features and black hair. Even without any expression, she was as beautiful as a dream.

But at this moment, Xie Yinian had no mood to appreciate any beauty. He just felt that God wanted to kill him: "You, you, you..."

As he spoke, he quietly retreated, trying to stay away from the female ghost.

Yao Rong lowered her eyes and glanced at him.

Xie Yinian was even more scared: "I have no grudges against you, why do you want to harm me..."

Yao Rong stated the facts: "I just saved you."

Xie Yinian was stunned for a moment, mustered up his courage, and quietly looked at Yao Rong's facial features, but happened to meet Yao Rong's half-smile eyes, and shuddered again.

But this shudder also made him regain a little calm.

The female ghost just now had inverted facial features and liked to use hair as a weapon to attack people.

The girl in front of him looked like a human being, and she was carrying a long sword. She exuded a convincing sense of righteousness...

Could it be...

Xie Yinian was extremely excited: "Could it be that you are a master of heaven who sees injustice and acts bravely?!"

Yao Rong raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a bit of strangeness.
