…

April has gone away quietly, and May has arrived belatedly.

In the corridor on the third underground floor of Daxueshan Sect, the sound of two women talking came from inside a certain room——

"Feiniao, how are you resting? Are you still adaptable to the environment here?"

"Yeah, not bad."

"Really? If you're not used to it, you can always tell me."

"good."

This is a clean room belonging to a human monk.

Originally, the entire underground of the Cangxue Palace of Saint Cloud Summit was hollowed out to serve as a compound cave for the monks of the Snow Mountain Sect. However, now, it is occupied and used by an army of monsters led by Lorraine.

Underground dark roads extend in all directions, and various passages are criss-crossed, like a dungeon that has not been exposed to light for a long time, making it difficult to discern the direction.

The room used to entertain Xi Feiniao was the room that Bai Xue had lived in before leaving the Snow Mountain Sect. And Luo Lin herself took the room of Ancestor Xue Fu at the core of the underground floor as her own and used it for daily practice.

.

At this moment, Xi Feiniao was sitting on the ice bed in the room with an expressionless face.

For her who is naturally afraid of cold, living under the glacier where only the Holy Light provides warmth is undoubtedly a kind of suffering. This is incomparable to the "sky illusion" provided by her master in the isolated city of Tianshan Mountain.

But she had a mission, and even though she was in a bad situation, she still endured it.

It has been several days since we arrived in the far north.

Under Lorraine's warm invitation that day, she did not choose to flee directly, but after careful consideration, she agreed to stay here temporarily.

The girl’s considerations stem from several aspects:

First, she cannot ignore the safety of Sissi and Skylark. If she leaves, she is not sure whether Lorraine will treat them well;

The second is that the ancestor Xue Fu is not yet dead. As the mission target, she wants to find some opportunities to see if she can rescue him;

Third, she had never heard of the "ghost army" mentioned by the other party, but it was obvious that those who were related to "ghosts" were not kind creatures, which made her extremely concerned.

As the new generation messenger of Jinghua Palace, Xi Feiniao has already developed a keen sense of important information under the influence of Yan Ye. With the glorious achievements of her predecessors in front of her, she really doesn't want to let her mission fail.

Therefore, she went deep into the enemy camp, intending to collect the intelligence here first, and then wait for the opportunity.

After all, if you want to do it, do it perfectly.

"Lorraine, I have a question for you."

In the room, Xi Feiniao looked at Luo Lin, who was sitting on the side of the tea table, reading ancient books, and said softly.

"Um?"

Lorraine closed the super thick "Thousand Years of Spirits" that was worn beyond recognition in her hand, and looked at her with a smile.

The candle lights on the wall flickered on and off.

Xi Feiniao glanced at this beautiful and mysterious demon princess, and became even more confused.

After getting to know each other over the past few days, she discovered that although Luo Lin had advanced cultivation, she treated weak monsters like Skylark and Sissy equally, and would not treat them the same way as some powerful monsters or human monks.

domineering.

As for what her true identity is, the girl has not yet figured it out. In the circle of demon cultivators, it is very impolite to ask someone about her true identity, so even if she is curious, it is not easy to ask directly.

There are not so many restrictions on other questions. Just listen to her serious words:

"I want to know about the 'Ghost Army'."

"oh?"

When Lorraine heard this, she stared straight into her eyes, as if feeling something through her expression.

"Asuka, have you never been to the far north?"

She didn't answer directly, but asked something like this.

"Well, my brother and I have been living in the interior of the south. It wasn't until my brother left that we took root in Zhongzhou."

The sadness in Xi Feiniao's eyes flashed past, but it was captured well by Luo Lin:

"So, Asuka's brother also died at the hands of humans?"

"...Eh? How do you know..."

Luo Lin shook her head slightly, stood up and gently lifted the "Millennium Spirit Collection".

In the next breath, the book turned into a golden light and was included in a string of necklaces and jewelry inlaid with bright yellow "holy obsidian" around her neck.

After doing this, she sighed softly and said:

"Human monks are just another kind of 'ghost'."

"What does this mean?" Xi Feiniao was a little confused.

"Has Feiniao read "Tiancang Shenyaolu"?" Luo Lin still did not answer directly, but asked a question.

"I...I rarely read..."

Xi Feiniao told the truth.

In the Jinghua Palace, apart from the master, the one who likes to read the most is Xia Lianxing who used to spend all day in the Cangxing Palace. Among the others, only Qin Shiyin has read all kinds of poetry and ancient books, followed by Bai Xue

.Most of the remaining sisters were born as monsters and were not very interested in reading. Of course, those like Hua Ling who believed that "ordinary books and ancient books are superficial and worthless" were exceptions.

"It doesn't matter. I'll tell you slowly."

Lorraine smiled, then organized her thoughts and said seriously:

The origin of "ghost spirits" must start a long time ago.

In the ancient years, the Four Phases came to the world and the world was peaceful. At that time, no one discovered the existence of such creatures as "ghosts".

However, a thousand years later, the 'primordial demon' came to the sky from outside the territory through the hole in the sky, sealed the four phases with the force of thunder, and brought more 'evil demons'.

At that time, evil disasters were raging and all living beings were in ruins. The 'ghosts' were contaminated by the 'evil spirits' and began to grow secretly and take root in the outermost part of the continent."

"The so-called 'ghost spirits' are 'new spirits' formed by the dead lives that linger in the human world for a long time in a state of resentment and inability to reincarnate. They are condensed in the extremely dark places of the earth. They are evil, heartless,

Cruel and ferocious, I have seen them several times in the snowy abyss of mountains north of the Arctic."

She paused, as if recalling something ominous:

"Ghosts have different shapes. Initially they are just resentful souls or bones. However, when you practice to a high and deep level, you can actually become a 'ghost body'."

"'Ghost bodies' are strong or weak, and there are many types. For example, the evil soul type 'cursed spirit', as long as it encounters a person or demon with a lower cultivation level than itself, it can directly entangle it, or even make it

A serious illness can lead to the disease living in the host's body and controlling its spirit until it achieves 'perfect body capture'."

"Wha...what? Perfect body snatching?!"

Xi Feiniao was horrified. She had never heard of such an existence that could rival an "evil". She only knew that in the world of immortality, "seizing a body" was an evil act that violated the laws of heaven and could only be done once in a lifetime.

Regardless of whether it is a human or a demon, once it takes a new life, it will be marked by heaven and will be punished by heaven the next time it breaks through!

This kind of natural punishment may greatly reduce the probability of a successful breakthrough, or cause the host's luck to be lost inexplicably. It may even cause the person to die without a chance to return and become what Lorraine calls a "ghost".

But it is very reasonable to think about it. Since ghosts can no longer reincarnate, there is no need to fear the way of heaven. As long as they find a new host in their own way and "possess the spirit", they can complete the disguised "body seizing".

They are the best way to retain them.

"Yes."

Just listen to Lorraine speak slowly:

"For hundreds of years, the ghosts I have encountered in the far north are all 'white bones'. 'White Bones' are controlled by higher-level ghosts and will attack any creature around them.

However, although they have the ability to regenerate, they are afraid of the glow, and their cultivation level is only equivalent to that of a human being at the Golden Core stage. Among ghosts and spirits, they are only "ghost pawns" and pose little threat.

But not long ago..."

Lorraine closed her eyes lightly and took a deep breath of air:

"At the border of the black devil, I saw a ghost riding a white-bone frost dragon - a ghost in the tribulation period."
