Chapter 562 Capture the Dead Soul
As soon as they arrived at the ghost world, the appearance of the ghost general Wuxiang gave them a warning, but since there was no way back, no matter how dangerous there was, everyone could only walk on the ground.
Another point is that Ye Shuo had reminded them before that not all dead souls are suitable for filling Gala's soul. The substitute must be consistent with Gala's birth date and horoscope and spiritual root attributes. But even so, it does not mean that it can be absolutely successful. To be on the safe side, it is best to catch a few more spares at the beginning.
"Gala, when is your birthday?"
Gala hesitated for a moment and replied: "On March 17th of the year Bingchen, the time of Yin. Tianling Root."
Ye Shuo nodded, his eyes swept through the many dead souls wandering in the street. The soul master's perception fully dispersed. He quickly raised his hand and pointed one by one: "That one is in line, have you seen it? There are also one over there, and that..." In just a short street, there were four or five dead souls all in line with Gala.
Xu Yuan smacked his lips and sighed: "I always feel that the birth date and horoscope and spiritual root attributes are exactly the same. With such harsh conditions, it would be nice to turn the ghost world over and find one or two suitable ones. Unexpectedly, this is really a good start..." As he said that, he patted Gala's shoulder jokingly: "Gala, it seems that you have really had a good time!"
The initial task assignment was that Xu Yuan and Gongsun Zhiqi opened the soul-detention bag, Jia Luo and Ye Jingyan held the wind, and Ye Shuo held the soul-fixing bead in his hand, looking for appropriate prey.
"Oh, after these dead souls have been eliminated, they can be reincarnated, but now we have to use them to fill our souls. Doing so... is it also harmful to the truth?" After a long time, Xu Yuan rubbed his arms, which were a little sore because he had been maintaining a high position for a long time, and asked in a cowardly manner.
Ye Shuo didn't want to pay attention to this kind of untimely good thought. When he really entered society alone, he would know that there were many more cruel things than this. It would be completely unrealistic to talk about saving the world before he had the ability to protect himself.
But Gongsun Zhiqi and Gala also showed hesitation after considering this issue. After all, they are still students who have just graduated, and their understanding of the world is still at the academy stage, and their concepts of those books. It is obviously not so easy to make them understand the prejudice of the weak at once.
"In this way, do you see that those dead souls are divided into black and white? Let's catch those black." In order to dispel the guilt of several people, Ye Shuo still made a certain trade-off.
"The obsessions of the souls that have obsessions are good and bad. Suppose that the white dead souls are their relatives in the world, the black dead souls are just thinking about revenge. The reason why the souls are dyed black is because of the karma they leave behind. For evil spirits like that, we don't need to say anything kind to them."
"But will the karma entangled in them harm Gala's soul?" Gongsun Zhiqi seemed to understand it, but she still thought about Gala first.
Ye Shuo comforted: "It's okay. Before I officially inject the dead souls into Gala's body, I will wash away the hostility on them. This is a unique method for the soul master."
After saying this, everyone hesitated to accept it. Only Xu Yuan sighed and said, "It is not easy to find a few suitable ones. This time we can only catch black ones. Our task is much more difficult!"
"Okay, don't say that much, hurry up and start!" Gongsun Zhiqi interrupted him and urged him urgently.
Half an hour had passed since everyone waited, but the wandering route of the Dead Souls from the outside always wandered around the middle of the street, often passing by the patrolling ghost soldiers. Neither approached the alley, Ye Shuo and others who were ambushing in the secret passage would be difficult to attack. If they waited like this, they would probably not be able to catch one until dawn.
"Although I don't have consciousness, I still know how to follow the crowd." Gala looked at the dead souls all over the street and sighed softly.
Xu Yuan lowered his pocket in disappointment: "If they can't come, we won't wait forever!" Thinking of this, he turned his head, "Brother Ye, do you know there is any way to attract the dead souls on the voluntary basis?"
Ye Shuo smiled bitterly. They really regarded themselves as encyclopedias. They didn't think about it. If they really had a way, would they have to wait here?
"I remember, there seems to be a kind of Nether Grass, which emits a smell that can attract the dead souls to approach." Ye Jingyan suddenly spoke, "However, it is said that this kind of grass is only available in Wangchuan. There is a heavy place for reincarnation there, and the guard will never be as relaxed as here. Do you think it clearly, are you really going to take this risk?"
"Nether Grass? Is this the one?" When everyone was at a loss and was almost determined to break into the Forget River, Ye Shuo took out a dark blue grass stem from his arms inexplicably.
The grass emits a layer of ice-blue light, and small purple and white flowers bloom at the top, with a clear and elegant fragrance, but there is always a layer of ghostly aura among the flowers and leaves that cannot be lingered.
When Ye Jingyan saw it, she exclaimed: "That's right, it's it! You...how did you have it?" But it's a good thing to not force yourself to break into Wangchuan after all, and everyone's tense expressions relaxed a lot.
Gongsun Zhiqi looked at her head curiously, stretched out a finger and gently tweaked it among the flowers, and then held the grass stem and shook it, "Nothing special is there."
Ye Jingyan also squatted down beside Ye Shuo, gently stroked the white flowers, and explained to everyone: "This kind of grass is opposite to the red shore flower and grows on the other side of the Wangchuan. The dead souls have obsessions and are unwilling to be reborn, so they instinctively reject the red shore flower. They believe that as long as they follow the smell of the Nether Grass, they can stay away from the Wangchuan."
Her voice became lighter and lighter, her eyelids drooped. At this moment, she seemed to think of something unspeakable. "But how could they know that it was just a false temptation. They could see it, but they could never catch it, and then they unknowingly fell deeper and deeper... In the end, once all the souls came in, they would never be able to escape from this ghost world."
Everyone was deeply moved by this secret. Although they wanted to know why Ye Jingyan knew so much about the ghost world, if she had her own difficulties, of course, they would not force themselves to be friends.
After a while, Gala turned to Ye Shuo: "Since this is a thing in the ghost world, where did you get it?" This was also the question that everyone was most interested in. This statement immediately shifted their attention from Ye Jingyan.
Ye Shuo played with Nether Grass with a smile: "As long as you have money to make money, what can't be bought and sold between the two worlds? At most, it's just a little more filial to the supervisory officials. Anyway, this is just a black area for doing business, and it has not blatantly destroyed the non-aggression treaty."
This Nether Grass was bought at a medicinal material shop when he was looking for materials to repair the killing puppets in the Ten Directions in Tianji Kingdom. According to the owner of the medicinal shop, this kind of grass has a heavy yin energy. For those who practice dark attribute exercises, it will be effective with half the effort to assist in practicing.
It was a coincidence that he was a soul master, and this kind of grass was also effective for him to enhance his soul power. Since the price was not too expensive, Ye Shuo bought some. Unexpectedly, after entering the ghost world, it could still come in unexpected use.
Gongsun Zhiqi curled her lips: "In order to make money, she has to make money through all channels. Isn't this the same as the corrupt officials in the world? In this case, I think it's better that ghost general Wuxiang, at least, he is selfless!"
"Yes, yes, the most important thing is that you are handsome enough." Ye Jingyan smiled and patted Gongsun Zhiqi on the head, "Okay, don't say so much, start quickly."
The Nether Grass' attraction to Dead Souls also needs to be within a certain distance to be effective, otherwise they will still not be able to sense it. However, at least its effective range is much larger than the Soul-fixing Bead. Ye Shuo held the Nether Grass in his hand, and his eyes were always moving with the ghost soldiers' patrol route. He must find an appropriate opportunity to attract the Dead Souls!
The opportunity finally came as he waited for a while. Two nearby ghost soldiers patrolled in different directions. A black dead soul frolicked and followed a ghost soldier. The ghost soldier unconsciously turned around halfway and stuck behind another ghost soldier. The ghost soldier opposite happened to turn around, while the ghost soldier in the distance formed a blind spot with the target.
Ye Shuo's soul perception network quickly opened, tying every ghost soldier on the long street. The only chance was that. In the terrifying gaze of everyone, Ye Shuo had already shot out of the alley like an arrow, exploring the Nether Grass towards the closest dead soul, not daring to defecate, and his body quickly shrank.
The dead soul was still erratic at first, and Ye Shuo was almost worried that the legend of Netherworld Grass was not credible, but soon, the dead soul turned around lightly and slowly groped along the way as the fragrance emanated.
Ye Shuo poked half of the Nether Grass out of the alley, using spiritual power to activate it, and also stimulated the originally elegant fragrance to the heaviest. Soon, the dead soul slowly drifted into the alley when all the ghost soldiers did not notice it.
Ye Shuo was delighted and waved his hand to everyone. The Soul-Stationing Pearl quickly put on the forehead of the dead soul. Taking advantage of its briefly fixed shape, Xu Yuan and Gongsun Zhiqi opened the bag from behind and rushed down.
The first dead soul was successfully captured!
Although he won a complete victory in the first battle, after removing the White Dead Souls, only three left. Except for those who were just caught, the other two were far away from them. One was wandering opposite each other, while the other was always wandering around the corner. No matter which one was to be caught, at least they had to cross the long street first.
"Brother Ye, do you think this is OK?" Xu Yuan's thoughts began to be wild again. "Let's leave a petal of the Nether Grass on the Dead Soul, and then use the method of a soul master to manipulate it to find the rest of his companions. In this way, wouldn't it lead them over?"
Ye Shuo was indeed moved at first, but he quickly shook his head: "But if this is the case, the dead souls outside the target will also be attracted by the fragrance of the Nether Grass. If there are too many dead souls gathering in one direction on the street at the same time, it will definitely cause the ghost soldiers to be alert. Let's think of other ways."
Gongsun Zhiqi has been fiddling with the Dead Soul since just now, and suddenly exclaimed: "Look, this Dead Soul is like a clothes, and can be worn!"
In front of everyone, she put an arm into the body of the Dead Soul, and then raised her arm and shook it all over the place. As expected, the only coat of Dead Soul was left, just as if she had wrapped her arm into a sleeve tube.
Gala was worried that the yin energy of the dead soul would be harmful to Gongsun Zhiqi. He was about to tell her not to play, but Ye Shuo looked at the scene in front of him, but his inspiration appeared.
"It's not possible to wear it." After carefully sensing the soul aura of both parties, Ye Shuo quickly concluded, "It's just that the dead souls have a strong obsession, so their aura is heavier than the usual ghosts. When your spirit body blends with it, it can cover up the yang energy on your body."
Seeing everyone confused, we explained in detail: "For the soul bodies, we actually did not ‘see’ them with our eyes, but ‘perceived’ their existence according to their breath. The soul perception of mortals has not been fully developed, so except for a few natural media, most people cannot see ghosts.
When two souls merge together, the yin energy is strong, the other will be covered up, just like putting two sachets in front of you. If you have a heavy smell, it will naturally overwrite the other side's taste. The same is true. If you don't deliberately distinguish it, you usually cannot sense this subtle difference. However, most souls will never merge together for no reason, that's it."
"So that," Xu Yuan became excited again, "As long as we catch a few more and dress up as dead souls, we can go to the streets? Since it's just covering up the breath, we don't need to consider the birth date!"
Although this method sounds a bit ridiculous and quite risky, it is really not a big deal to always wait like this. In the end, Ye Shuo weighed the pros and cons and could only agree to try it out accordingly. "In this way, we have four people left, that is, we have to catch four more dead souls..."
"Don't count me." Ye Jingyan shook her head with a smile, "I am different from you. I am a ghost body, and it is consistent with the attributes of this ghost world. As for her own breath, it is not a problem for me to simulate it exactly like a dead soul." As she spoke, a thick layer of yin energy indeed lingered around her, which was comparable to another dead soul beside her.
Ye Shuo looked at Ye Jingyan. He did not ignore the sadness that flashed through his eyes when the other party said "I am different from you." However, there was no time to worry about this at this time. Ye Shuo once again poked his body out of the alley and looked for the next target nearby.
"Wow, let's catch that! That one over there is more handsome, just put it on Gala!" Gongsun Zhiqi's head was placed on his shoulder and pointed to the street excitedly.
"No, no, I'll catch that! That one is more beautiful!" Xu Yuan seemed to be deliberately sing a opposite tune with Gongsun Zhiqi, pointing to one in the opposite direction, and making an excited proposal.
"...I really convinced them." After hearing a few words, Ye Shuo silently withdrew from the front line.
"Yes, I don't think they are looking for dead souls, they are simply blind dates..." Garo looked at him, and the two of them smiled bitterly.
Chapter completed!
