This Black Wind City is the town closest to Chimei Town. There are not many living people here. Unless they are looking for special immortal materials or have special purposes, ordinary people dare not approach such a dangerous place. Therefore, after the five of them disappeared, all the corpses went to one place. Even the corpses with their legs chopped off but still had their hands, continued to crawl forward with their hands.
The eldest grandson, Jun, and his group followed the group of corpses to see where they were going.
Lu Ziyao walked in front, and Gongsun Di followed behind. Everyone else followed the corpse, but he was the only one who kept an eye on his eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen, fearing that they would do something bad to their fellow apprentices. The eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen were too lazy to care about him and just followed the corpse.
It didn't take long for them to find the target of the murderous group.
There is a large courtyard to the south of Black Wind City. The courtyard wall has been pushed down by the corpses. The ground is littered with broken bricks and tiles, and an endless stream of ferocious corpses are walking into the courtyard.
Lu Ziyao said, "There is a living person in there!" They all felt the breath of a living person in the yard.
Everyone rushed into the yard.
I saw a group of zombies climbing up to a house in the yard. The zombies had no spiritual power and could not fly with swords. They wanted to get to the roof and could only climb the wall with their hands and feet. On the roof stood a middle-aged man and a boy about ten years old. The man waved his sword, drove the zombies away, and shouted, "Get out! Get out!"
The young man was not afraid at all, and looked at the corpses excitedly, as if he had seen something very interesting. He was still young and had no weapons in his hands, but he also joined the fight, swinging his thin arms to push the corpses down. The corpses were packed tightly together, and when they fell down, they fell like beads on a string, rolling into a pile on the ground.
The boy looked at the miserable state of the corpses and chuckled.
The man and the child were both alive, and the corpses were obviously coming for them.
The man kept chasing the corpses, and he used his sword to knock down the corpses as soon as they climbed onto the roof, making it difficult for them to get close to them. The young man was young and weak, so although he helped, his help was limited. A corpse climbed up from beside him, but he didn't care about it and just pushed the corpse in front of him, so the escaped corpse stumbled towards the man's back, and the man was so anxious that he didn't notice the crisis behind him.
"Be careful!" Lu Ziyao saw this scene when he rushed in and quickly warned.
The man turned his head subconsciously and saw the ferocious corpse's bony hand reaching for his back. He was so scared that he slipped and almost rolled off the roof.
The situation of the man and the boy was extremely dangerous. They were surrounded by corpses. Not only had many corpses crawled up to them, but there were also a large number of corpses gathered at the base of the wall. The corpses that could not climb onto the roof were beating the wall furiously. The house was already shaking and about to collapse. Once the house collapsed, the man and the boy would fall off the roof and be immediately swallowed by the corpses!
In almost the blink of an eye, there was a loud "bang" and the wall under the roof was indeed collapsed by the corpses!
The eldest grandson Zijun and Lu Ziyao attacked at the same time. Lu Ziyao flew up and hugged the young man, while the eldest grandson Zijun's sword flew out and caught the man. Together, they brought the father and son back.
Yi Xichen quickly took out two more Qi-hiding talismans and stuck them on the foreheads of the man and the boy. Just as he touched the boy, he suddenly let out a strange sound.
Logically speaking, after the Qi-hiding Talisman concealed their breath, the zombies should have stopped attacking. However, the zombies turned around one after another and rushed towards them again!
Lu Ziyao quickly drew his sword and protected the young man behind him. Gongsun Di also raised his sword and silently recited sword techniques, intending to protect them.
Yi Xichen said: "Stop fighting, let's leave here first!" Although the corpses did not pose any threat to them, it was really troublesome that they could not chop all the corpses.
Everyone stopped their moves, grabbed the father and son, jumped on their swords, and flew out of the city.
The corpses couldn't fly, so they chased them on the ground. However, how could some corpses catch up with the speed of their swords? They were soon left far behind.
The young man was really fearless, as if he didn't understand how frightening the scene he had just experienced was. He kept looking back at the corpses below. Not only was he not frightened by the bloody and terrifying corpses below, but he kept exclaiming in wonder: "Dad, look, that man has only one leg, but he's still jumping. Why is he so stubborn?"
"Dad, is that blood or tears on that man's face?"
"They're losing us. They look so pitiful. Where are we going?"
The middle-aged man looked unhappy and scolded in a low voice: "Song Yuan, shut up!"
The boy named Song Yuan was not even afraid of corpses, so how could he be afraid of his father's scolding? Even though the corpses behind him were almost out of sight, he still stretched his neck and tried to look: "Dad, do you think my brother is among those people?"
Zhang Sunzijun and others led them along the way, listening to their strange conversations without interrupting them.
They flew outside the city and finally landed in a dark forest. The area within a hundred miles of Chimei Town was filled with ghostly auras. All the trees in the forest were old and black, without leaves or fruits. It was unknown how many hundreds or thousands of years they had been dead. The wind blew through the bare branches in the dark forest, making an unpleasant sound that sounded like both crying and laughing.
Lu Ziyao put Song Yuan down, held his shoulders and looked him up and down with concern: "Kid, are you hurt?"
The eldest grandson, Zijun, asked Song Yuan coldly, "Have you made a ghost contract?"
Song Yuan looked at him with a pair of innocent big eyes.
When Song Yuan's father heard the words "ghost contract", he panicked and pulled the child to his side to protect him: "Who are you?"
Not only the eldest grandson Jun, but all of them noticed that there was something strange about Song Yuan. The biggest difference between a living person and a ghost is that a living person has a complete soul, while a ghost has no living soul, and other souls may also be incomplete. This boy clearly has a living soul, but he has ghost energy. It is impossible for a living person to practice ghost Taoism, so there is only one possibility - this boy has made a ghost contract!
To make a ghost contract is to exchange power with the ghost with one's own soul. So the young man in front of him, although his soul is still alive, his other souls are incomplete, and his seven emotions and six desires are also missing. Which souls he lost and which souls are left, the eldest grandson Zijun and his friends don't know, but what is certain is that Song Yuan lost his "fear".
Yi Xichen asked, "Why do you want to make a ghost contract? Why are the evil spirits chasing you? My fellow Taoist, I think you should tell us who you are first, right?"
Song Yuan's father looked at them warily, his eyes were not friendly. Making a ghost contract is not an unforgivable sin, but using one's soul to exchange for power is not a righteous way. Most people who make ghost contracts have bad intentions. But now the one who made the ghost contract is such a young child, it is inevitable that people will be soft-hearted.
Song Yuan was hidden behind his father. He suddenly said, "Dad, you are injured." He raised his hand and pressed the wound on his father's back. "Does it hurt?"
The man shuddered suddenly and cried out in pain. His cultivation was low, and when he was fighting with the group of ferocious corpses just now, he got a big scratch on his back, but he had been enduring it.
Lu Ziyao hurriedly stepped forward to heal his wounds, and said kindly: "Fellow Daoist, we are disciples of the Tianjian Sect. We found that there are evil spirits causing trouble here, so we came here to kill the demons and eliminate the evil. If you encounter any difficulties, please tell us and we will help you. Your young master..." He hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Although a ghost contract can gain powerful strength, this strength can't last for long, a few years at most, or a few days at short. When the strength is exhausted, the person will die. These contracts can be made and can be dissolved. But even if the ghost contract on Song Yuan is dissolved, his lost soul cannot be found, and his life will not last long. He can only live a few more years.
When he thought about how such a thing could happen to such a young child, Lu Ziyao's expression became very sad.
Gongsun Di couldn't help but roll his eyes at the back: "Brother Lu, I think it's not those ghost cultivators who lost their souls, it's you! There should be a limit to the good things you do. Do you know who they are? Do you want to help them? How can you be a good person if you can make a ghost contract?"
Xiao Kui also followed up with sarcasm: "Senior Brother Lu has always been kind-hearted and likes to protect the weak. Why did you join the Tianjian Sect? It would be more appropriate for you to shave your head and become a Buddhist."
Song Yuan looked at them with a smile, as if he could not hear the unfriendly tone in their words. Seeing that his father's wounds were gradually healing under Lu Ziyao's treatment, he could not help but exclaim in surprise: "Big brother, you are so amazing."
Lu Ziyao looked at the boy's innocent smile and felt more and more sad.
Yi Xichen walked forward, squatted in front of Song Yuan, looked into his eyes, and asked seriously: "Did you make the ghost contract voluntarily?"
Song Yuan also became serious: "Yes, big brother."
"Why do you do this?"
To gain temporary power at the cost of one's life, regardless of whether one's heart is good or evil, one must have a very strong obsession, an obsession that outweighs one's life. For example, there is an enemy that cannot be defeated and a vengeance that must be taken, which is the most common reason for people to make a ghost pact. However, Song Yuancai is only this young, and this is the time when he should be the happiest. How could he have an obsession that outweighs his life and must do something?
Song Yuan tilted his head and thought for a while, then said blankly: "Why? Song Yuan doesn't understand..."
Yi Xichen was stunned. Could it be that this child lost part of his memory when he lost his soul, and also forgot his obsession? ! This is too ridiculous. He paid with his soul, shortened his lifespan, and finally gained powerful power, but he forgot why he needed this power...
The eldest grandson, Zijun, suddenly asked, "Who is his brother?"
When they got rid of the group of corpses just now, Song Yuan once asked if his brother was among those people.
Song Yuan's father pulled Song Yuan back, held him in his arms, and sighed, "His brother is dead. The reason why this child made a ghost contract is because he thought that this way he could see his brother again. Alas!"
