Chapters 60-120 Chapter 118 Ghost King Disciple

  Not only was Liang Xin greatly shocked, but the several people surrounding him were also stunned, with only the coffin shop owner Zhuo Zhihou seemingly unaware of what had happened, smiling politely at the other four companions: "What's wrong?"

  Song's expression was solemn and uncertain, his voice barely above a whisper as he replied, "I obtained three Star Souls..."

  Seven Star Souls, didn't return home properly!?

  Lao Shu one, Xiao Tai one, Liang Xin two, Song Gong Jing three, Zhuang Bu Zhou one... After the seven Huixing souls stopped rotating, they didn't plan to return to Liang Xin's body together, but instead rushed to whoever was there and fell to the ground.

  Zhuang didn't catch one of the star souls, so he naturally didn't understand the situation. Upon hearing this, he was shocked and immediately looked at Liang Xin, instinctively saying: "I want it too!"

  Xiao Hai's eyes flashed like lightning as he suddenly stared at Zhuang Bu Zhou and said in a low voice, "Say that again."

  Old Master knew that the Seven Corpse Soul was one of Liang Xin's two ultimate skills, now it had become scattered and disordered. His old face turned pale with anxiety, he kept asking Liang Xin: "What to do, how can I return it to you, what...?"

  Liang Xin shook his head, he himself was also anxious and flustered, but no matter what, he couldn't bear to see Lao Shu's current state, so he hastily shook his head and comforted him: "It's okay, I'll try first." As he spoke, his mind was racing, urging the Seven Corpse Soul to 'return home'.

  At the summons, the star soul immediately jumped up and shuttled back and forth through other people's bodies, familiarly returning to Liang Xin's body. After rotating slowly for a few weeks, it fell down. This time Liang Xin let out a sigh of relief, and others also put their hearts at ease, especially Liang Fengxi, who was just anxious and restless, but now was overjoyed beyond compare.

  The new Star Soul, apart from the original evil land's power, also dominated two sets of Xuanji initial cultivation, and had already reached a terrifying level. With the star array operating, the explosive power was unimaginable. Now all of these belonged to Liang Xin, how could Uncle not be delighted?!

  Practicing Wind Habit is just for protecting Liang Xin, but no matter how much protection there is, it's not as good as directly giving him all the true yuan.

  The old man was delighted. Suddenly, he felt a warm and powerful force transmitted to his shoulder, and Liang Xin sent another star soul into his body.

  That star soul was also at ease with its fate, and after coming over, it comfortably lay down in the meridians, neither resisting nor struggling.

  Before Liang Feng could say anything else, Liang Xin suddenly burst out laughing: "Great, and very interesting!"

  Liang Xinde had passed the test of Da Si Wu, Zhao Qinghe and his godfather's guidance, and also responded to the experience of these nine days, thinking and exploring, he had already guessed the current situation.

  These seven star souls, each merged with the power of five people. For the star soul, these five people have all become 'their own kind'. Their bodies can all be their own dwelling place, they can stay wherever they want.

  Five people are like five houses, and the seven souls of the stars can live however they want, but still with Liang Xin as the main one.

  As soon as Liang Xin summons them, the star souls in other 'rooms' will immediately rush over to serve him.

  Liang Xin's mood was extremely good, the first benefit he could think of was: he could put Xing Hun in the bodies of Xiao Yu, Lao Shu and others. He only brought Zi Wei with him, retreated to a distance where Xing Hun couldn't sense it, and was able to move his origin at will without being affected by Xing Hun.

  In this way, he can start cultivating the second stage of Tianxia Renjian and merge his origin into his body.

  If it weren't for this, his primordial spirit would stir and the star soul would rise to make trouble, making it impossible to continue cultivating in the mortal world.

  Liang Xin tried, and transferred the other few star souls to Lao Shu. Sure enough, as Liang Xin had thought, the star souls were very docile, and as long as he didn't summon them, they would fall asleep in their 'new room'.

  At the same time, Liang Feng's face suddenly twitched with a golden money pattern, his expression filled with surprise, and he said in a low voice: "The star souls that have entered my body, their power can be used by me!"

  As he spoke, Liang Feng raised a finger, and a black chain of energy burst forth, striking the ground with a loud crack, tearing open a deep fissure!

  The old uncle originally had less than one-tenth of his cultivation left and was fundamentally unable to unleash such a fierce strike, but he could call upon the power of the star soul at will. With one strike, its might was even stronger than when he was in top condition!

  This is the instinct of the Star Soul Gu, acknowledging the other's body also means acknowledging the other to call upon the power it carries.

  This kind of dog is very similar to a sheepdog in nature. They herd and release the sheep, only helping their master manage them, without considering the flock as their own.

  However, the seven Star Souls are all inside Lao Shu's body and only allow Lao Shu to call upon their power, but refuse to form the Big Dipper Formation. It's like the sheepdogs - Feng Xi Xi and the others can use them to watch over the flock at will, but they cannot order the sheepdogs to go into battle for them; only Liang Xin can command them.

  Even if he couldn't get a star array, Liang Xin's face was now blooming like a flower, and this result was undoubtedly the best for him.

  Liang Feng was so anxious that he couldn't calm down, and insisted on returning the Star Soul to Liang Xin. The two of them pushed back and forth for half a day, but in the end it was Liang Xin who took charge, and the Star Soul would be temporarily kept by Old Uncle. Whatever happened next could wait until after Old Uncle recovered from his injuries.

  The battle between Xīng Hún and Yǎn Zī left all five of them severely injured, with Liáng Fēng's injuries being the most difficult to recover from. After all, he was the main battlefield, and Lǎo Shū was a Ghost King's cultivation, not easily injured, but once injured, it was also not easy to recover.

  If Liang Xin wants to recover from his injuries, then the Star Souls are nothing but a hindrance and need to be gotten rid of as soon as possible.

  Liang Feng still felt uneasy, and was about to give Xiao Qu a few star souls, chuckled and said: "For healing, as long as it's enough to reach the previous cultivation level, the excess is useless."

  This is indeed the case, Liang Feng needs to recover from his injuries. Three or four Star Souls would be enough, and Xiao Quan's injuries are not much lighter than his, with the help of Star Souls, the benefits are enormous.

  Liang Xinguang was so focused on making Old Uncle happy that he almost forgot about Xiao Yu, and upon hearing this, his face turned red as he hastily nodded. Among the five people, Xing Hun could settle anywhere, but only Liang Xinguang could command them to move.

  When urging the star souls into the Small Tides Meridian, Liang Xin committed a mistake due to his greed and gave two of them to Small Tides. He left five star souls for Old Uncle. Liang Feng was not satisfied and wanted to give more, but it was Small Tides who shook her head, with a rare faint smile on her face: "One pellet is enough for me to heal my injuries, these are... bugs, having too many feels very strange."

  After finishing speaking, Xiaohai's gaze drifted to Feng Xi's shoulder. Now everyone's hands were still clasped together, pressing on Lao Shu's shoulder, the posture was extremely awkward.

  Feng Xi Xi now treated Xiao Quan as half a mistress, and as soon as he saw her gaze, he immediately understood what she meant. He hastily shook his head and said, "Can't be divided, once separated, these two will die immediately!" As he spoke, he pointed to Zhuang Bu Zhou and Song Gong Jian.

  He thought he had gotten rid of all the evil energy inside him and was no longer in danger, so he listened to them with a smile, but as soon as he heard the words, he was stunned at first, then scared out of his wits.

  The wind was gentle and patient, carefully accompanying the smile as it explained the situation of the two brothers. Then, furrowing its brow again, it said: "Your vital energy and yin energy have already been refined into a single entity, now being controlled by the star soul... but this can't go on forever, hand in hand like this. A permanent solution would be to give you the star soul."

  The unpredictable vitality of Hei Bai was divided by the Star Souls. So giving them one is not enough, all seven must be given to them, but only to one person.

  Song Gongjian gripped even tighter, his face twisted in a sob as he stared at Zhuang Buzhou: "Only one of us can live? What should we do?"

  Zhuang Bu Zhou shook his head: "Don't worry, no matter who it is given to, from now on we'll be hand in hand..." He said halfway through, and then felt that he was talking nonsense. He pursed his lips and smiled bitterly: "Those are two five-step cultivations, how could they be given to us!"

  Liáng Xīn was indeed somewhat troubled, it's impossible to hold hands for a lifetime, and even more impossible to give the seven star souls to them. However, he couldn't bear to watch his brothers die in front of him either. Apart from this, Zhuāng and Sòng were also recognized by the Seven Star Souls, Liáng Xīn vaguely felt that there might be some new value in this coincidence.

  Liang Xin couldn't bear it in his heart, and Feng Xi was even more worried and distressed. Two lives were about to be lost, what a huge matter this is!

  At this time, a woman's voice suddenly came from not far away: "Why doesn't the King of Ghosts take in these two people?"

  The voice was tinged with fear and some confusion, but more of it was a sinister and ominous tone.

  The five of them all jumped in fright, and following the sound, they looked around to find that the green-clad attendants were tightly surrounding them, while further away, a dozen or so people were either sitting or standing or floating, gathering together.

  Outside, there were men and women of all ages, dressed in vastly different ways, but without exception, their faces were all pale.

  Liu Yi laughed and explained, "These are all the lonely souls and wild ghosts from nearby. They sensed that Old Uncle was fighting against enemies, so they came to assist. Last night, they almost clashed with us."

  The green stone was born in fear, and the willow also went on to talk at length. From the side, a faint voice opened: "Later, after clearing up the misunderstanding, they were still uneasy, and every night they would appear and wait." At this moment, it was exactly midnight, and Liang Xin looked closely under the starlight, only to find that those people in the distance had no shadows.

  Feng XiXi was taken aback by the favor, he wouldn't say anything flattering, nor would he put on the airs of a Ghost King, he just kept nodding at the group of little ghosts and said: "You've all worked hard, I don't dare to accept this, I don't dare to accept this."

  The pale face had thoroughly turned green, startled by the little demon and frightened by its words: being taken away by the Demon King, although it was unknown how to take it, where to take it, but also knew that it was definitely not a good thing.

  The wind was blowing gently for a while before he slowly opened his mouth: "Who spoke just now, please come and explain clearly, I don't understand this..."

  A middle-aged woman walked up quickly and saluted respectfully: "Greetings, Your Majesty the King of Ghosts." Feng Xi Xi became even more restless, saying that it was not good to do so, and being naturally reserved, he felt that men and women were different and did not dare to stretch out his hand to support her.

  Liáng Xīn smiled at the female ghost from the side and said: "You don't have to be so polite and restrained, just answer whatever Old Uncle asks you."

  The middle-aged female ghost cultivator was quite good, and she understood a lot. Her mind was also very quick-witted, and she immediately spoke up: "These two people's life energy has left their bodies, they're already dead..." As soon as she said this, the others went to look at the shadows of Hei Bai Wu Chang, which were still there.

  "But for some reason, they can still sense the vital energy, so their souls are not scattered. In short, they are now straddling the line between yin and yang, becoming living corpses." The female ghost's voice was gloomy, and the two living corpses looked at each other, already breaking out in goosebumps: "Now their bodies have already taken on a corpse-like quality, even if the vital energy returns to their bodies again, they won't live for more than seven days."

  "Zhuang Buzhou's voice trembled as he asked: 'Living corpse, what exactly is it?'"

  The female ghost said a few words and relaxed a lot, laughing quite happily: "Living corpse, actually it's just that compared to ordinary people, they have more ghostly nature, not afraid of sunlight, but don't like sunlight; eating and drinking, but seeing incense sticks will also make them drool; afraid of ordinary people's knives, but when encountering a Taoist priest who can subdue ghosts, they must quickly escape."

  Xiao Hai and Liang Xin exchanged a glance, and they both burst out laughing heartlessly. Liang Xin turned his head and whispered to Liu Yi, "If Qing Mo heard this, who knows how happy he would be."

  Liu patted his chest heavily: "I've taken note of everything, I'll definitely pass it on!"

  The female ghost turned her gaze to Feng Xi again: "Even if the Great Luo Golden Immortal descends to the mortal world, it's impossible for them to return to life. However, if you use the Ghost Seal Stamp, you can fix their current form and make them serve you from now on. Living corpses can roam between yin and yang, they can help you control ordinary people and also act as messengers for the spirits of the dead, what a good servant!"

  Liáng Xīn was very interested and couldn't help but ask: "How did you know so much?"

  The female ghost smiled and replied, "Hundreds of years ago, a ghost king passed by this place and ordered me to find the living dead. The ghost king's temperament was also very gentle, seeing that I didn't understand, he explained things to me again, and I also came to know about it from him." Upon closer inspection, although the female ghost's appearance wasn't particularly striking, she had delicate eyebrows and eyes, a round face, and an air of kindness about her.

  Liang Xin smiled and nodded, then looked at Feng Xi Xi: "Old uncle, what is Gui Yin seal?"

  The wind gently blew open his right palm, and he quietly circulated his internal energy. Under the flow of his true yuan, a blood-red ancient seal gradually appeared in the center of his palm: "After I cultivated this, this thing appeared on my palm. I asked Calabash Great King about it, but he evaded the topic and didn't answer me."

  It's about respecting one's teacher. Liang Xin didn't dare say much, but Liu Yi burst out laughing and said: "The gourd doesn't know, of course it won't reason with you!"

  "It's just that the female ghost explained in a low voice: 'After the yin burial, after the cultivation is successful, this seal will be born on the palm of the hand. Where the seal falls, it means that the king of ghosts has intervened in this matter, and other small ghosts will retreat when they see the seal.'"

  The wind listened and understood, the "Ghost Seal" on the palm of his hand was actually a symbol of identity, used to warn fellow practitioners. At the same time, this seal also had magical powers, able to protect the undead's life.

  The female ghost explained in detail, and the wind listened carefully under her guidance. She pressed the ghost seal on her palm onto Hei Bai Wu Chang's forehead.

  Only two crimson symbols suddenly burst into strong light, and then flashed away, respectively entering the foreheads of Zhuang Buzhou and Song Gongjian. The two black and white impermanences simultaneously let out a mournful cry, withdrew their hands to hold their heads, and their entire bodies began to tremble like sieved chaff, just like two injured loaches, painfully twisting their bodies.

  It wasn't until nearly half a day later that the two brothers finally stopped struggling and got back up, becoming just like they were before, with no discernible difference whatsoever.

  Zhuang Buzhou tried to twist his body and asked the female ghost hesitantly: "Is that it? Can't die now?"

  The female ghost smiled and nodded: "It's done! Congratulations to both of you!" Then she looked at Liang Feng again: "Even more congratulations to the Ghost King, who has acquired two living corpse slaves."

  He smiled with a habitual curl of his lip, and didn't care whether the slaves were taken or not; but he was genuinely pleased to have saved two human lives.

  Hei Bai Wu Chang also knew that Lao Shu was kind-hearted, although they had the name of master and servant, but he would never really be driven to serve. He bowed and thanked Lao Shu again, thanking him for saving his life. Zhuang Bu Zhou still felt a little dissatisfied, and with a flattering face, he said to Feng Xi Xi: "Uncle, my brother and I were also seriously injured this time. Can you... give us one Star Soul each to heal our wounds?"

  Feng Xixi hadn't spoken yet when Liu Yi suddenly glared at him with wide eyes: "Are you kidding me? If I give it to you two, what if you run away?"

  Song Gongjin shook his head, a bitter smile on his face: "Run? Where can the two of us run to? With what we know, the imperial court will kill us, and the Xiu Zhen Tao won't tolerate us either! The two of us have already discussed it these past few days, from now on we'll follow Manager Liang."

  The female ghost also laughed and said, "They can't escape even if they run. They have been branded with the Ghost Seal, so they can't resist the will of the Ghost King at all. Moreover, as long as the Ghost King changes his mind, he can make their souls scatter!"

  Ghost seal branding, collecting the living dead as servants. From then on, Lao Shu and Hei Bai Wu Chang's hearts were connected, and their master's thoughts became commands that they could not resist.

  Now, Hei Bai Wu Chang brothers have been under Gui Wang's command and became true disciples of Liang Feng Xi.

  Old Uncle's eyes were thick and his gaze was hesitant as he looked at Liang Xin: "I used three Star Souls to heal my injuries, which is enough, the remaining two..."?

  Liang Xin smiled: "I heard your orders."

  Zhuang Buzhou and Song Gongjian were overjoyed, and again politely thanked him. Only then did he grab the old man's hand, his eyes full of expectation as he looked at Liang Xin.

  Liang Xin didn't waste any words and under his mental urging, he took out two more Star Souls and handed them over to the brothers.

  At this time, the distant sound of a rooster's crowing had already been heard, and the sky was about to break dawn. A group of little ghosts were afraid of sunlight and bid farewell one after another. Liang Xin's heart moved, and he asked the female ghost: "What is your name?"

  The female ghost was stunned at first, then forced a smile: "A person in mourning, dare not use the name used when alive. My current name is called Tou Qi." After finishing, she bowed to Feng Xi and Liang Xin again, and her figure disappeared.

  Liang Xin and others no longer delayed, set off again, rushing towards the grassland.

  Lao Shu led two new apprentices, riding in one carriage, Xiao Quan rode alone in another, the two large carriages were far ahead, while Liang Xin lagged behind by about two miles. This distance allowed Ben Yuan and Xing Hun to avoid interfering with each other during their recovery, but if anything happened, everyone could quickly gather together.

  Up till now, they haven't gone far from the town of Shan, yet in this short journey, there have been countless twists and turns. If you count the good things that have happened, there are quite a few: Big Brother has gotten engaged, Second Brother's recovery is looking promising, Xiao Quan was rescued, Old Uncle found them, and the Seven Fragrance Star Soul has grown many times stronger... But even if all the good things in the world were piled together, they still couldn't make up for the sorrow of Grandfather passing away.

  Two sworn brothers were in a large vehicle with him, seeing Liang Xin neither treating his injuries nor speaking, but just staring blankly. Qu Qing Shi reached out and patted him, asking: "What's wrong? Got something on your mind?"

  Liang Xin shook his head: "Thinking of Father's affairs... where is Donghai Qianshan?" He paused for a moment, then continued: "Now that the Seven Demons' Star Souls have greatly increased in power, after everyone has recovered from their injuries, I plan to go to Donghai Qian first."

  The speaker's skill, Liu had already taken out a scroll from his bag, which was the Dahong Map, and nodded with a smile: "Should go!"

  Qing Shi's smile was sinister: "Good riddance! Just be careful not to kill Chao Yang."

  Liang Xin understood his meaning and nodded seriously. He then closed his eyes and began to meditate to heal his injuries.
