The ancestor of talismans

For a cultivator, ghosts are not scary, but people are the scariest.

Therefore, Ye Shanhu felt ashamed when she was frightened by a wandering soul.

"Human race, such a strong yang energy, run!"

The woman also found Xu Changshou and Ye Shanhu. After seeing the two, the woman did not hesitate at all, and went directly into a small cave and disappeared.

The two did not care and continued to walk along the route of the treasure map.

On the way, they occasionally encountered one or two wandering souls, and they ran away immediately after seeing Xu Changshou.

For cultivators, wandering souls are a huge danger, but also an opportunity. If they can absorb the yang energy of a human cultivator, the wandering soul is likely to break through the realm.

However, the blood of the cultivator is too strong, which is like a burning furnace for the wandering soul, and they dare not approach at all.

Therefore, when they encounter their wandering souls, they usually choose to hide.

The deeper they go, the more Xu Changshou feels something is wrong.

There are more and more wandering souls, and they can always meet groups of wandering souls, including old people, children, women, strong men, and scholars.

Once those wandering souls met Xu Changshou and Ye Shanhu, they scattered.

In fact, Xu Changshou felt that he had met some wandering souls several times.

It was not until he met the gossipy woman wandering soul again that Xu Changshou felt something was wrong.

At this time, the gossipy woman was hiding behind a cave, peeking at them from time to time.

"Senior Sister Ye, look at that wandering soul? Have we met before?"

Xu Changshou pointed at the gossipy woman wandering soul, and the gossipy woman immediately retreated into the cave.

Ye Shanhu nodded: "Yes, the first wandering soul we met was her... Is there anything wrong?"

"Yes!"

Xu Changshou nodded slightly and said seriously: "Although these wandering souls are afraid of us, they dare to follow us all the time, which means they must have something to rely on."

Ye Shanhu fell into deep thought after hearing this, and murmured after a moment: "Could it be? There are ghosts behind these wandering souls."

Gui Zhang is a ghost cultivator with a cultivation level equivalent to that of a foundation-building cultivator.

The fighting power of the ghost swell is definitely not as good as that of the foundation-building cultivator. A foundation-building cultivator can kill a large group of ghost swells.

But if a cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm encounters a ghost swell, it will be a big trouble.

"It's possible!" Xu Changshou nodded slightly.

Ye Shanhu's eyes flashed with panic: "Junior Brother Xu, don't scare me, I don't believe there is a ghost swell."

It is more difficult for a ghost cultivator to swell than a foundation-building cultivator. Ordinary wandering souls need a heaven-defying opportunity and hundreds of years of practice to cultivate a ghost swell.

Xu Changshou pursed his lips and said: "Senior Sister Ye, if there is no ghost swell to support you, would these wandering souls dare to follow us so boldly?"

"This..."

Ye Shanhu was speechless.

Xu Changshou looked at Ye Shanhu and asked, "Sister Ye, where did you get your treasure map? Is it reliable?"

"Of course it is reliable!"

Ye Shanhu said without a doubt, "This treasure map was obtained by my father many years ago. When my father was young, he almost came to the Immortal Burial Abyss. Because the Immortal Burial Abyss was dangerous, my mother stopped him from coming, so my father didn't come. Later, my father successfully built his foundation..."

"Is your father a great cultivator who has built his foundation?"

Xu Changshou was surprised. It was the first time he heard Ye Shanhu talk about her father. Unexpectedly, her father was actually a great cultivator who had built his foundation.

"Yes!" Ye Shanhu smiled.

Xu Changshou frowned and said, "That's not right. Since the Immortal Burial Abyss is so dangerous, your father didn't dare to come. Why did he give you the treasure map?"

"Uh..."

Ye Shanhu hesitated for a moment, blushing and said, "When I took the treasure map, my father didn't know."

Xu Changshou was full of black lines: "In that case, you stole the treasure map."

Ye Shanhu pouted: "What do you mean by stealing? This is our family's stuff. I call it taking, not stealing. Even if it was stolen, you can't doubt that there is something wrong with my treasure map."

"I don't doubt it!"

Xu Changshou smiled bitterly and said nothing more.

Although ghost cultivators have no physical body, they are no less intelligent than human cultivators. Xu Changshou is afraid that Ye Shanhu's treasure map was made by ghost cultivators and deliberately set a trap for human cultivators.

Of course, this is just a guess and there is no basis.

Ye Shanhu patted her full chest and said seriously: "Don't worry, Junior Brother Xu, I can guarantee that there will be no problem with my treasure map."

"Well, I believe you, Senior Sister Ye."

"Let's go!"

The two continued to walk deeper into the cave.

In this underground, there are more and more caves and passages, just like countless veins on leaves.

On the way, there are more and more wandering souls, and they are getting bolder and bolder. Many wandering souls will only run away when Xu Changshou is within ten feet of them.

Soon, Xu Changshou met the gossipy woman again.

This time, the gossipy woman was much bolder than the previous two times, and she stood in the passage right in front of them.

She waited until Xu Changshou and Ye Shanhu were within five feet of her before she dodged and hid in a nearby cave. When Xu Changshou and Ye Shanhu walked through the cave, the gossipy woman came out again and followed them slowly.

Moreover, as the two people and the ghost moved, the gossipy woman kept trying to get close to Xu Changshou. Seeing that Xu Changshou did not attack her, she finally came to a position three meters behind Xu Changshou and Ye Shanhu, and followed them all the time, keeping this distance.

"Xu Junior Brother, what should I do?" Ye Shanhu was a little uneasy.

After all, she was a girl, and being followed by a gossipy woman ghost made her feel uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, let's see what she is going to do?"

Xu Changshou comforted her and signaled Ye Shanhu to continue moving forward.

In this way, the gossipy ghost followed them all the time, greedily absorbing the yang energy emitted from the two people.

As a cultivator, the blood and qi in his body are vigorous, and he emits yang energy all the time.

This yang energy emission is unconscious, and even the cultivator himself cannot feel it.

The yang energy emitted is also very little.

But even so, this yang energy is a great tonic for ghost cultivators.

The gossipy woman greedily absorbed the yang energy, with a look of intoxication on her face.

Behind Xu Changshou, countless densely packed ghosts suddenly appeared in the caves one by one.

Those ghosts flashed greed and fear in their eyes, and followed Xu Changshou one by one, and tried to get close.

"Wow, so much Yang Qi."

"I want to inhale, I want to inhale!"

"Is this the Yang Qi of human beings? It's so delicious."

"Hehehe, this is the legendary Yang Qi, so wonderful."

More and more wandering souls followed Xu Changshou and Ye Shanhu.

In the passage, they walked in front, and thousands of wandering souls followed behind.

Xu Changshou looked back and couldn't help frowning.

Among the wandering souls, there were old people, children, middle-aged people, ladies, and young girls.

Some were missing arms, some were broken legs, some were blind, and some were only half of their bodies left crawling on the ground.

It was a living hell on earth.
