To Raise a Soul

"eat first."

Yin Yan got up, took his hand and led him towards the kitchen.

Yu Zhen's excitement subsided a little, only to realize that it was already dark, and his stomach was extremely hungry. He held Yin Yan's hand back embarrassedly, and carefully put the enchantment ball containing the imaginary spirit into the vermilion tower. went to the kitchen.

After simply finishing the dinner, Yu Zhen geared up and was ready to start recruiting spirit servants.

Yin Yan didn't intervene too much, and walked aside to meditate on his own initiative, protecting the Dharma for him.

Yu Zhen smiled at him, took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions, took out the enchantment ball and put it in front of him, closed his eyes and meditated to run the spiritual energy in his body, and after confirming that the strength in his body had reached the best state, he stretched out his hand to open the enchantment ball.

As soon as Void Spirit came into contact with the air, he instinctively stretched out his body, floated into the air and wandered back and forth, as if he was looking for the breath of his master.

Yu Zhen carefully wrapped it with fake immortal energy, and probed the power into its body bit by bit.

If you want to accept a spirit body that has already recognized others as its master, you must first erase the imprint of the previous owner in the spirit body.

When Yu Zhen took Magu back in the beginning, although it was equivalent to snatching Magu from Zou Chengjing, the situation between Magu and Zou Chengjing was more complicated at that time. Consciously, subconsciously, Zou Chengjing is very repulsed, and the difficulty of charging is relatively low.

The Void Spirit in front of him is very dependent on sin, and is very fragile, unable to collect it by force, so the difficulty is higher.

After thinking about it all day, he came up with a way to snatch Xu Ling over. Now that Yu Zhen is doing it, of course he already has an idea in his heart.

From the very beginning, he didn't plan to use any strong means to take Void Spirit back, but prepared to feed it, awaken its consciousness, and let Void Spirit choose its master again.

Yin Yan said that Void Spirit was refined when he was born, and he probably didn't have his own consciousness at that time, so there are loopholes to exploit.

It takes a lot of energy and painstaking effort to feed a crippled creature, and the energy fed must also be very pure and gentle, otherwise Void Spirit is prone to indigestion and disintegration.

The advantage of pseudo-immortal energy is revealed at this time, it is more mellow than spiritual energy, but more delicate and gentle than spiritual energy, and is easy to absorb.

Void Spirit is a spiritual body, and has an instinctive desire for any pure power. When it sensed the penetration of false fairy energy, it only hesitated for a while, then curled up and concentrated on absorbing it. Like breathing.

Yu Zhen calmed down, carefully controlled the injection of false immortal energy, and closed his eyes.

Time passed little by little, and with the absorption of power, the Void Spirit floating in mid-air grew a little bit, skin appeared on the blood-red flesh, hair grew on the bald scalp, and green light spots began to appear around the body float.

That is the force of life.

The false fairy flowers in the dantian had already lost several flowers, and the consumption was much greater than expected. Yu Zhen opened his eyes and looked at the Void Spirit who had changed his appearance in front of him, and continued to output power without hesitation.

But this time, he encountered a little obstacle.

The power Void Spirit can absorb has reached a critical value, and the power belonging to the refiner in its body began to stir.

"Ugh-"

Aware of the restlessness in the body, Void Spirit, who slowly gave birth to his own consciousness, suddenly opened his body, raised his neck and let out a slightly strange long moan, the long hair that had grown to its ankles moved automatically without wind, and a burst of toothache bones After the dislocation sound, like a movie scene, a pair of translucent wings grew out from behind Void Spirit.

Yu Zhen was dumbfounded, looking at the pair of wings that were as thin as cicada's wings, even though they were incomplete, they were still very beautiful, and the output of immortal energy in his hands increased unconsciously.

Xu Ling's body shook, his wings flapped, his closed eyes slowly opened, and when he met Yu Zhen's gaze, he suddenly let out another long moan, his long hair gradually shortened, his figure elongated and thinned, and everything After the dust settled, he had turned into a short-haired boy...but his body did not have the gender characteristics that ordinary people would have, and his wings were still incomplete.

"Wow."

Xu Ling opened his eyes, looked at Yu Zhen with green pupils, stretched his body, flapped his wings and flew in front of Yu Zhen, leaned over and pressed his forehead to his forehead, green light surged on his body.

Only then did Yu Zhen recover from the series of changes, and hurriedly stabilized his strength to grab him, but as soon as he raised his hand, an invisible gentle force exploded from Xu Ling's body. The false immortality of the past was blocked.

"You..." He opened his mouth to speak, but Xu Ling suddenly backed away from his forehead, flapped his wings, and spat out a mouthful of dirty blood from the side of his head.

Yu Zhen's pajama pants were smeared, and the blood was poured all over her legs.

"Woo!" Xu Ling happily flapped his wings after vomiting blood, and flew around Yu Zhen's head.

Yu Zhen: "..."

Are you so happy that you did something bad?And what's the matter with this strange fuzzy perception in his heart that he vomits blood and becomes more energetic.

Yin Yan got up and waved his hand to help Yu Zhen get rid of the dirty blood on his pants. Looking at the obviously over-excited Void Spirit, he said, "It's actually a tree spirit. It now recognizes you as its guardian, and has taken the initiative to transform itself into something similar to you." The appearance, but also automatically forced out the power that belongs to others in the body."

"Guardian?" Yu Zhen was puzzled and tried to reach out his hand. The Void Spirit that just flew to his hand flapped its wings and stopped, tilted its head to look at him, landed on his hand and sat down, hugged his fingers and rubbed them.

Sure enough, another vague perception came over, and Yu Zhen felt it was amazing. He turned over Void Spirit's body, which was only a little bigger than before, and looked at Yin Yan curiously.

"The guardian in the eyes of the spirit body is equivalent to the guardian in the eyes of human beings." Yin Yan explained, sitting opposite him, looked at the spirit in his hand with him, and stretched out his hand tentatively.

Xu Ling looked at him sideways, flapped his broken wings, and did not avoid his fingers.

"I have your aura on me, it won't repel me." Yin Yan only touched its wings, then withdrew his hand, then turned the aura into a blade, and cut his finger.

Yu Zhen stared, and reached out to grab his hand.

Xu Ling immediately frowned, flapped his wings and flew to Yin Yan's bleeding finger, some green light spots emerged from his body, and entangled towards Yin Yan's finger.

As the green dot approached, the wound on Yin Yan's finger slowly healed.

Yu Zhen was dumbfounded again, rubbed Yin Yan's fingers carefully, wiped off the blood on them, looked at the intact skin on it, and looked at Xu Ling in shock.

"Sure enough, it's the ability to heal. Wusha gave him the incorruptible body of Jiu Zui through the tree spirit." Yin Yan looked at the tree spirit who was obviously ignorant, but instinctively intimate with Yu Zhen, squeezed Yu Zhen's hand, Said: "You can accept it as a servant, it will not reject you."

Yu Zhen reached out to hold Void Spirit again, looked at its youthful appearance and completely ignorant appearance, and asked, "The tree spirit's words mean that its body is a tree? Like a mountain god?"

"No, it is a spirit body bred by the power emanating from the spirit tree. It is a companion spirit. The ability of the spirit tree determines its ability. The growth of this spirit body requires the long-term cultivation of the spirit tree. It is very rare to survive, but once it matures, its strength is very powerful, comparable to a mountain god."

Comparable to the mountain god.

Yu Zhen looked at the ignorant and beautiful little guy in front of him, couldn't help but reached out and stroked its hair, seeing it closed its eyes in enjoyment, his eyes softened, took out a Dao Seed and carefully handed it in front of it.

The tree spirit opened his eyes and looked at the golden dao seed in front of him, he stretched out his arms to hug it without hesitation, buried his head and began to chew.

"Don't! That's not how it's used, be careful to choke." Yu Zhen didn't expect it to stuff the Dao Seed into its mouth, so he quickly reached out to stop it.

The tree spirit sideways avoided his hand, and within a short while gnawed all the dao seeds that were almost half the size of its face, and hiccupped.

Yu Zhen: "..." I actually ate it without indigestion.

"It is a tree spirit. It is naturally friendly to plants. It only eats vegetarian food. It is especially fond of plants that contain merit and aura." Yin Yan explained, took out a book and handed it to Yu Zhen, saying: "There are details about the tree spirit in it." Feeding method, Yu Zhen, you missed too many lessons."

Feeling guilty, Yu Zhen took the book obediently and took out another Dao Seed.

Seeing the Dao Seed, the tree spirit wanted to eat it again, so Yu Zhen hurriedly pressed its head to stop it, and silently recited the formula to shrink the Dao Seed, and flicked it towards the tree spirit.

The tree spirit blinked, finally understood what he meant, closed his eyes, let the dao seed stick to his forehead obediently, and emitted green light to actively absorb the power in the dao seed.

"Woo!" The tree spirit opened his eyes and whispered happily, hugged his fingers and rubbed them together, then covered his mouth and yawned, lay down and closed his eyes.

It has just been conscious for a short time, and it needs to rest.

Yu Zhen touched it, and was going to put him in the vermilion pagoda with San'er and the others, but when he thought of something, he stopped again and took it into the turning basin.

——For the tree spirit, it might be more comfortable to stay with the plants.

Made a nest out of a sweater and put it on a fairy tree full of vermilion fruits, Yu Zhen carefully put the sleeping tree spirit inside.

"I'll help you get the rest back too."

He touched the tree spirit's incomplete wings, remembering that Wusha who was still not sure of his true face, his eyes darkened slightly, and he exited the turning basin with light movements.

When the tree spirit was resting, Yu Zhen took a closer look at the feeding method of the tree spirit, discussed it with Yin Yan, and sent a message to Mr. Feng.

There are too many evil cultivators in the middle layer of "Sha" and they are too scattered, and the location of the base is too remote. If only the two of them are relied on, it would be a waste of time to wipe them all out. Maybe we can use the strength of Feng Lao and others.

In the name of "Feng Er", Yu Zhen informed Feng Lao of the location information of all "Sha"'s dens, and deliberately left some clues, so that Feng Lao could follow the vines to find out the basic composition of "Sha" and the location of the base, and put the crusade target Locked in a small area.

Not long after the news was sent, Lao Feng called.

Yu Zhen connected immediately, sat upright and prepared to deal with the possible "one hundred thousand whys" that Mr. Feng might have.

"Is the source reliable?" Feng Lao asked eagerly.

Yu Zhen had expected that he would ask this question, nodded and replied: "Reliable, Jiuzuin, one of the four elders of 'Sha', tried to attack Master by surprise a few days ago, but was killed by Master later, and now he is locked up in the blockade tower." Here, the source of information is absolutely reliable."

Elder Feng nodded, and asked again: "Do you really have a way to attract the other three elders?"

Yu Zhen beckoned to the tree spirit who was gnawing on the fruit, started a video call, let Lao Feng see the tree spirit, and said, "It's called the green willow, and it's the spirit body I snatched from the evil cultivator." The elders of the Sha' organization rely on it to communicate with each other."

The tree spirit named Luliu heard his master calling him, honked happily, flew to Yu Zhen's shoulder and sat down.

Old Feng moved his gaze over, frowned and looked carefully.

"It's a tree spirit. It's a bit disabled and can't speak yet, but it's absolutely no problem to contact the other elders." Yu Zhen explained, stroking Luliu's head.

Elder Feng nodded again, slowly looked away, looked at Yu Zhen, and said, "So your master means..."

"My master and I are in charge of arresting the remaining elders. The base and the evil cultivators in the middle layer will have to trouble you, Mr. Feng, to arrange for people to wipe them out. The remaining Wusha, after cutting off these minions, we will all work together to find and hunt them down." .”

Yu Zhen conveyed Yin Yan's meaning, and beckoned to call Wu Wu over, saying: "Since there may be other ambushes in the base of evil cultivators, Master means to let Wu Wu go with you. Evil energy and illusion, the main body is a tower, forming a separate space, in a crisis, others can enter the body to take refuge, and send messages to the master, and can fly independently in the air, which can be regarded as a retreat."

Old Feng had a complicated expression when he heard this, looked at the soft and cute nothingness, and sighed: "This trip to investigate the evil cultivators is all due to the breakthrough of Taoist Feng. I am not good at learning, and I am ashamed to trouble you a lot as mentors and apprentices."

"No, it should be me and Master..." Yu Zhen waved his hands quickly, and shut his mouth again in the middle of speaking, his face flushed with guilt.

In fact, in the final analysis, the turmoil in the cultivation world was all because the evil cultivators wanted to arrest him, a terrific person, and Feng Lao and others were all implicated.

"I'm sorry..." He lowered his head slightly, and said sincerely, "We'll wait until this time..." I will apologize and confess.

Seeing him like this, Mr. Feng thought he didn't know how to answer the conversation, so he calmed down and said, "You don't need to say, I understand. Then follow the arrangement of Daoist Feng, keep in touch, and if you have any difficulties, contact me anytime."

Yu Zhen cheered up, nodded vigorously, and said, "No problem, I will send nothingness there as soon as possible."

After finalizing their division of labor, Mr. Feng hung up the phone.

Yu Zhen put down his phone, looked at Yin Yan who was listening to the conversation not far away, and asked, "When are you leaving?"

Now everything is ready, just kill the enemy.

Yin Yan withdrew his gaze from looking at the snowflakes outside the window, stood up and said, "Now."

The two asked Qiu Feiqian to ask for a vacation again. Qiu Feiqian thought they were too busy with the wedding and wanted to go out to hide in peace. Although they were reprimanded for being lazy, she still thoughtfully let them go and let them go abroad before the New Year. .

That night, after handing over the puppet to Magu, Yu Zhen and Yin Yan boarded the flying magic weapon.

In the early hours of the morning, the two landed on the roof of the hotel where Feng Lao and his group were staying, and walked into Feng Lao's room.

"Xiaozhen is here." Elder Feng, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately got up to greet him, and at the same time motioned to the tall and strong middle-aged man who also got up beside him, and introduced: "This is Kui Gui, and he is also the one who is going to be searched and suppressed this time." One of the people in charge."

Kui Gui has a square head and a big face. He looks a little fierce, but his eyes are clear and his breath is harmonious. He is an orthodox Taoist monk.

"You are Feng Er?" Kui Gui didn't speak as politely as Feng Lao, he was very straightforward, and stretched out his hand and said, "Where is your cat, show me."

Elder Feng couldn't help turning his head and glaring at him, and said, "Kui Gui, when will you change your attitude!"

"When will you stop playing that pedantic thing, I'll change my attitude." Kui Gui retorted, looked at Yin Yan again, and asked, "Is your cat really that powerful?"

Yin Yan released the void, and as soon as the void appeared, he rushed towards Kui Gui, aiming at his face with a paw.

Kui Gui's eyes sharpened, and he quickly blocked it, but he couldn't dodge completely, and the hand covering his face was scratched with three red marks.

"Meow." Nothingness landed lightly, ran to Yu Zhen's feet, swished along his trouser legs, and crawled onto him, nestling in his arms and flicking his tail comfortably.

Feng Lao stood by and watched, pretending he didn't see it.

"It's really strong." Kui Gui was not angry but happy after being injured, and his attitude changed drastically. He walked up to Yu Zhen to tease the nothingness in his arms, and called, "Come here, kitty, I'll catch fish for you to eat."

Nothingness aimed another claw at his palm.

"He still has a strong temper, I like it." Kui Gui shook his hands and smiled happily, and his attitude towards Yin Yan and Yu Zhen was much more kind, and he said, "Thank you for helping me get rid of the bedbugs that have been nesting in the site for decades. Come out, after killing them, I, Kui Gui, will personally come to the door to thank you."

"You're welcome." Yin Yan replied simply.

The four of them knew each other now, and they sat down and started talking about business.

There were no objections to the division of labor for the clean-up and suppression, and only some details were to be discussed. Everyone was a straightforward person, and everything was finalized in less than half an hour.

Before leaving, Yu Zhen took out two kits and handed them to Feng Lao and Kui Gui respectively.

"There are some protective artifacts and elixir inside, you may need them." He said, touched the nothingness squatting on the table, a little bit reluctant, and said: "Master and I will deal with the elder as soon as possible. Hurry up to join you."

"Meow~" Wu Wu rubbed Yu Zhen's hand, also reluctantly.

Elder Feng reassured: "Don't worry Xiaozhen, I will take care of nothingness, and you should also pay attention to safety."

Yu Zhen nodded, forced himself to withdraw his hand, bid farewell to the two of them again, and left with Yin Yan.

After another few hours of flying, Yin Yan and Yu Zhen stopped in a remote valley far away from the "Sha" base.

Yu Zhen took out a handful of Dao Seeds and handed them to Yin Yan, watching him set up formations around him, calling out the green willows that had already been cultivated and rejuvenated.

The sun rose into the sky, then slowly sank, and when it was dark, Yu Zhen's cell phone finally rang - Feng Lao and Kui Gui had already led people to use the empty imperial sky to fly to the vicinity of "Sha"'s base.

Yin Yan said: "You can do it now."

Yu Zhen nodded, looked at the green willows dancing and playing in the air, and asked, "Is that okay?"

Lu Liu let out a low cry, flew down and rubbed against his hand, closed her eyes and began to flap her wings.

An invisible gentle force spread towards the distance, Yin Yan walked to Yu Zhen's side and held his hand.

call--

The sound of wind came from afar, blowing away Yu Zhen's forehead hair.

"Dove crime?"

A woman's voice suddenly came from Luliu's body, and Yu Zhen couldn't help but squeeze Yin Yan's hand tightly.

"Du Ao, why are you here?" Another man's voice sounded, full of surprise.

When Du Ao heard Wu Shi's voice, he obviously became impatient, and said, "What are you doing? Harassing two at a time, if there is no reasonable excuse, don't think that I will easily spare you this time."

"Jiuzui, what do you want from me?" Another man's voice sounded, and the last elder also got in touch.

"What are you doing, why did you call Zhuhui here, Jiuzui? Say something to Jiuzui, there is something wrong with you." Du Ao was full of impatience, and scolded: "Do you know that I am concocting alchemy? Why don't you Fortunately, there is something important to say, otherwise I will kill you!"

Yin Yanhui held Yu Zhen's hand, waved his hand, and released a puppet customized according to Jiu Zui.

"It's me." The puppet that looked like a living person said directly, "The man of great evil has been found."

"what?!"

"Who did you say found it?"

"Where is he?"

Three voices sounded at the same time, but the puppet didn't answer, but asked: "Help me contact the lord, I want to dedicate the man of great evil to him."

"Just because you also want to see Your Majesty? Jiu Zui, you really have a wicked heart, don't think that you can really sit on an equal footing with us when you become an elder." Du Ao sneered, and his voice suddenly dropped: "Don't try to take credit for yourself, I am I'll go to your place."

"Du Ao." Zhu Hui's voice sounded with disapproval.

Wu Shi became visibly excited, and his voice also quieted down: "I want to see you, Dasha. Du Ao is waiting for me."

"You guys are really..." Zhu Hui obviously had a headache, and his voice trailed off, "Your Majesty is about to leave the customs, so don't fight among yourself."

All the sounds disappeared, and the green willow began to spin and dance in mid-air, its face wrinkled and showing a distressed look, the incomplete wings began to glow one after another, and suddenly raised its head to the sky with a long cry, and its body turned into a light spot.

Yu Zhen felt distressed and nervous, and squeezed Yin Yan's hand even more tightly.

The tree spirits are pure and powerful. After the spirit bodies are dispersed, they can not only establish contact with each other, but also use their own power to teleport their respective masters to the same place.But this kind of teleportation is very energy-intensive, and generally can only be used once a year.

The wind grew louder.

The light spots scattered in the air whirled and danced, and suddenly gathered together again. The green willow appeared, and with it, there were three other smaller blood-red ghosts and three gradually clear figures.

Yu Zhen immediately waved the green willow into his hand, and began to use the spirit summoning spell according to the previous plan.Green Willow let out a long cry, and began to call for the scattered blood in conjunction with his spell.

"What?" Du Ao's figure was the first to be clear. She noticed something wrong with Void Spirit, but she didn't pay much attention. She saw the puppet on the ground at first glance. Just as she was about to land, she saw the figure standing behind the puppet from the corner of her eye. Yin Yan.

She stopped abruptly, opened her eyes wide suddenly, and shouted out almost out of composure: "Your Majesty, why are you here?!"

Wu Shi and Zhu Hui also revealed their figures one after another, they were startled when they heard the words, they hurriedly looked in Yin Yan's direction, and also shouted together: "Your Majesty?"

Yu Zhen was stunned by their calls, and looked sideways at Yin Yan.

Because he met Feng Lao before, Yin Yan now uses the appearance of his previous life.When he heard the call, his eyes moved, he took out his black sword and looked at the three people in the air, and asked, "Who is your lord...?"

After speaking, he rushed up directly.

The sharp sword aura flew together with murderous aura, and the light of the surrounding formation soared into the sky. Zhu Hui was the first to come back to his senses. Seeing that the expression of the formation changed drastically, he took out a long whip to wrap around Du Ao and Wushi and threw them to the ground. On the one hand, dodging the blow in embarrassment, reminded loudly: "Wake up, he is not your lord! The formation under your feet is very dangerous, retreat quickly!"
