Chapter 41: Searching for the Physical Body

  "Also evil? This name sounds a bit familiar..." Yi Yang Shu was frowning as he listened to the experiences of Yang Hao and Yun Xue's group.

  "Uncle Yang, I'm not sure either, the first time was at night when I was fast asleep, the second time was during the day..."

  "Even you can't detect it, so there's only one possibility... If I'm not mistaken, it should be the work of Dream Weaver"

  "Master, what is a Dream Demon?" Yang Hao asked curiously, because he didn't understand what kind of ghost it was that could escape the yin messengers' law eyes and cause trouble without being detected.

  "Meng Wei can also be said to be a kind of ghost, generally with low ability, only taking advantage of people's deep sleep and weak consciousness to come out and cause trouble, it is a single energy body. However, if it has a fixed hiding place, then it can escape the pursuit of the Yin Cha, and be above the law, and when its power becomes stronger, it can interfere with people's visual and auditory systems during wakefulness, producing hallucinations..." Yīyáng Shū roughly explained.

  "Master, is there a way to get rid of it?" Yang Hao looked at his master with anticipation.

  "Hmm... Yunxue, have you recently found any unexplained items at home? For example, a doll, an ornament, or some kind of jewelry?"

  "Jewelry? Ah, right... Uncle Yang, two days ago Li Nan sent someone to give me a necklace..."

  "Where is the necklace????"

  "Ah... here it is..." Yunxue rummaged through her bag and soon found it, handing it over to Yi Yang Shu.

  "It's this one, the necklace has been cast with a spell, and inside it seals an evil spirit that is looking for a host."

  "But Master, if she's a ghost, why can't I and Hu Tou see her?" Yang Hao was really puzzled, as ghosts shouldn't be able to escape his eyesight.

  "Meng Mei's energy is smaller than that of an ordinary ghost and has not yet formed an energy field. It's just a vague state of energy between existence and non-existence." Yunxue listened to Yiyang Shu's words and thought for a moment, then nodded her head, remembering that she had indeed tried on the necklace at the jewelry store on her birthday.

  "That's right, the ghost that was chasing after her is a spirit with substantial energy field, and this kind of thing that exists between existence and non-existence is very hard for both humans and ghosts to see. This vengeful spirit is attached to the necklace, and Yunxue happened to have worn it before, so Meng Wei absorbed and grasped Yunxue's aura, just like tuning into a radio frequency, each person's brain wave frequency is different. After the ghost grasped this information, it adjusted its frequency amplitude to match Yunxue's as much as possible. Once their frequencies matched, Yunxue would see its figure in her world, while people with different frequencies wouldn't be able to see its true form." Yiyang Shu explained while examining the necklace.

  "It seems it's more dangerous than an ordinary ghost..." Hu Tou said after listening attentively for half a day.

  "It's actually not that dangerous, as frequency overlap is very difficult to achieve. Even if it does happen, if the person is brave enough, they'll just think it's a dream and won't pay attention to it. In this case, the demon will be unable to succeed. However, for people who are timid, the situation is different. Due to fright, their consciousness will become disordered, which is what the scientific community calls mental illness. At this time, the demon will lurk in the person's spiritual world, and once their spiritual world completely collapses, it can turn the tables and occupy the person's spiritual domain, thereby controlling their physical body. This is also the reason why many mentally ill patients have a drastic change in personality after recovery. In fact, the person before they got sick and after they recovered are already two completely different people."

  "It's really terrifying~~~~~" Yunxue said with a pale face. Whoever it is, no one wants another person to occupy their own body, what would happen then???

  "What's going on with this necklace, Master?"

  "Just put it here for now, the necklace has left Yunxue, so it won't disturb her anymore. Neither of us will directly touch this necklace, so Mengwei can't get any information and can't tune in. After a long time, it will naturally disappear."

  "Alright, let's not scare Yunxue... Let's talk about your beloved disciple Yang Hao instead. What are your plans?" Kairui finally spoke up after standing aside for a long time.

  "This... I really don't have a good solution... The Taoist sect has always had legends about using lotus roots to recreate the flesh, but after all, it's just a legend. The era when Taiyi True Person recreated Nezha's body is already over a thousand years ago, and it's hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Even if it's true, the method has long been lost. I really don't know what to do for the best." For the first time, Uncle Yiyang sighed in front of everyone, showing a sense of helplessness. After all, Uncle Yiyang's cultivation is still far behind that of Taiyi True Person.

  "This matter I can think of a way." Kerry saw that Uncle Yang was really hurt by this, and couldn't help but show concern.

  "Oh? You have a way?"

  "There is a way, but it requires a prerequisite, which is to find an object with spiritual energy for Yang Hao as the root of his physical body. The stronger the spiritual energy, the better. As long as this is found, I can help Yang Hao create a new physical body."

  "Is this for real? What's your plan?" As soon as Uncle Yang heard Kerry say that, he immediately regained his energy.

  "Our clan has a way of reshaping our physical bodies, and I just so happen to have obtained this method..."

  "Wait, Miss Cai, you said you have a way to reshape the flesh? But why is there no way to change the blood? Is it that the flesh is more precious than the blood?" Yang Hao couldn't help but ask from the side, because Cai's words were indeed problematic. If reshaping the flesh can be done, then changing the blood should also be possible, right?

  "Haha... Don't look at the problem with human eyes, for our blood clan, blood is naturally the most precious thing, and everything else is insignificant in comparison. And I can tell you, as long as the blood clan has a blood source, anything can be done, on the contrary, if the blood clan loses its blood, not only will nothing be possible, but even the entire clan will perish." Yang Hao seemed to understand something after hearing Kairui's words, just like how humans need to eat food, with food, people can think, create and explore. If this world were to lose food, the consequences would be unimaginable.

  "What is the most spiritual thing then?" Yunxue muttered with a puzzled face, actually at this time everyone was thinking about this problem, if they were going to find something, they would find the best one.

  "Hutou, can't you go find some friends in the underworld to help with this matter?" Yiyang Shu's words awakened the person from their dream.

  "Ah~~ how could I have forgotten....." Hu Tou immediately picked up the Tong You token and contacted the Underworld. Not long after, there was a response from the Underworld.

  "Third brother? What's going on, just say it." The voice of Zhong Kui came from the token.

  "Big brother, I want to ask, what's the most spiritual thing around here?"

  "I'm not sure about this either, why are you asking?"

  "We now have a way to help Yang's envoy rebuild his physical body, but the premise is that we need to find something with sufficient spiritual energy as the foundation."

  "Are you serious??? Wait a minute... I'll send someone to check with the land register..." Zhong Kui immediately sent someone to find Gui Pan after hearing that Yang Hao's situation had taken a turn for the better. Not much time had passed when the Tong Yu token transmitted another voice.

  "Third brother, the Earth Book shows that the most spiritual thing under the heaven is the thousand-year-old ginseng king. It has been appearing and disappearing in the depths of the Changbai Mountain primeval forest, with an unclear specific location."

  "It's all right, thank you big brother... No need to rush to thank me, although the underworld owes Yang Hao a favor, it cannot bend the law for personal reasons. All I can do is this much, and also, that Thousand-Year-Old Ginseng King is not far from ascending to immortality. You must only negotiate with good words on your way there, absolutely do not use force, its cultivation has reached an extent that we cannot grasp. In short, be careful in all things." After exchanging a few pleasantries, Hu Tou and Zhong Kui closed the command token.

  "Master, what's your take on this?" Yang Hao always respected Master's decisions, so he sought out Yi Yang Shu's opinion.

  "I suppose it's for the best, but the Changbai Mountain primeval forest is a treasure land that gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It's said to be a treasure land, but no one knows what's inside. Now, as my master's life is in danger... Alas, what can we do?" Yi Yang Shu sighed with helplessness.

  "It's okay, it's okay, as long as Miss Kari is willing to accompany us on a trip, plus Tora, we'll definitely be able to handle it," Yunxue said excitedly beside them.

  Yi Yang Shu seemed to have no refutation, but instead looked at Kairui with a glance and didn't speak. The gazes of Yang Hao and the others all converged on Kairui.

  "Isn't there a Chinese saying that goes 'helping someone to the end of the road, sending Buddha to heaven'? I'll just follow local customs and accompany you all for a bit then." Kari still smiled as usual, at this moment she seemed to have nothing to do with vampires whether in appearance or spirit, but rather like an angel standing before everyone.

  "Great, Sister Carrie... you're so good~~~" Yunxue was acting like a child, holding onto Carrie's hand and swinging it back and forth while being playful.

  "Hey? I said Yunxue, you keep saying 'we' and 'our', as if someone just mentioned bringing you along?" Yang Hao teased...

  "Yun Xue's face suddenly turned solemn, this expression made him shudder as if he had been chilled to the bone."

  "Master, we shouldn't delay, let's set off early tomorrow." Yi Yang Shu nodded in agreement, also eagerly anticipating the outcome of this search for the physical foundation. Because it directly affects Yang Hao's life or death. After bidding farewell, everyone left Yi Yang Shu's home to prepare for their journey tomorrow... What is special about the historically rich Changbai Mountain? What secrets lie within the vast and uninhabited primeval forest? Is this trip a blessing or another crisis?
