Ancient Art of Sealing Ghosts

I was wearing sunglasses, leaning back on a park bench, crossing my legs and enjoying the rare warm sun in winter.

It has been more than two months since we were separated from Dao Feng Ji Xuan, and it is now the depth of winter, even if there is sun in the sky, it is as cold as an ice cellar, and you can breathe white air when you open your mouth.

Suddenly a gust of cold air rushed towards my face, I opened my eyes, and saw a stunningly glamorous face appearing in front of me, the scarlet almond eyes raised slightly, staring at me blankly, the strange pattern on the forehead was vain and fluffy , adding a touch of coquettishness to her already fairy-like beauty.

She was the concubine of Yuan Dingzong after the sea was lost, Queen Qinshu who had been in power for three years, and possessed extraordinary beauty and figure.

But now, after being lost in the sea, this incomparably beautiful sea has become my first ghost slave, and her stunning beauty has gradually lost its appeal to me after seeing it countless times.

Two months ago, when I returned home after a long journey, Lao Chu was overjoyed and surprised when he saw me. After sweeping me up and down, he held my hand and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?! Come back with a ghost?"

"Ghost air?" My heart tightened, and I immediately thought of the pattern on my finger, but I said with a concealed smile: "Tomb robbers, there must be ghost air."

"Don't talk to me about it, it's useless, you know what I'm referring to!" Old Chu's eyes were sharp, staring at me like an angry lion.

I was hesitating whether to tell Lao Chu the whole thing, when my mother's voice came from the house.

For my unfilial son, my mother didn't show any anger this time, she just hugged me in her arms and said with sobs: "It's good to come back. If you want to eat, Mom will go to the street to buy it."

My nose was sour, and I didn't know how to speak. I just nodded repeatedly, expressing that I must wait for her to come back and cook at home.

Even if Lao Chu was going to get angry with me, my mother would chase Lao Chu away with a burst of curses, and dragged me to sit on the sofa to ask questions. She said that before going out with friends, she would first greet her at home, why was she so silent this time? Ring left and asked me if I was mad at her.

I was stunned for a moment, and thought to myself, where did this go, how could my mother have such an idea, it was obviously my fault, and I actually made my mother worry like this.

After several reassurances and explanations, my mother was finally coaxed to be happy, and went shopping in the street with a reusable bag.

At this time, Lao Chu poked his head out of the room with a dark face, and said to me: "Come here, I have something to tell you."

I sighed, knowing that I couldn't escape, so I had no choice but to go into the house and close the door, and I showed my left hand first, and said, "I did cause some trouble. I met a female ghost in the tomb. I put the book on it. The formation of ghosts was engraved on her back with dark fire, and it became like this."

Hearing this, Old Chu stared so hard that he almost fell to the ground, grabbed my fingers and looked left and right, and finally sighed sadly: "Those who should come can't escape..."

I wondered why Lao Chu said such words for no reason, so I asked, "What's the matter, what's the trouble with this pattern?"

"Troublesome?" Old Chu snorted, "It's more than troublesome. You're using ghost manipulation, yes, but it's the most taboo magic among ghost manipulation. Ghosts that are used by humans are called ghost slaves. The slaves have a common symbol, that is the vertical ghost seal. According to the personal situation of the ghost master, the vertical ghost seal will take on different forms and be engraved on a certain part of the ghost slave and the ghost master. The slave must not disobey the order of the ghost master."

"Isn't this pretty good?" Hearing Lao Chu's explanation, I was a little pleasantly surprised. I thought that if this was the case, it would be much more convenient to rob tombs in the future, and all the things that can't be done are left to ghost slaves to do, and it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

It's no wonder that the Fenggui faction will become the leader in the tomb robbery business, this is obviously a big wave of the hand.

"What a fart!" Unexpectedly, when Old Chu saw me beaming with joy, his old face turned black like a pot: "Why did I give birth to such a useless bastard like you, did you just want to leave everything to the ghost in the future?" Slave to do it? Let me tell you, the reason why ghost printing is taboo is because it benefits the ghost owner more than it does harm. Do you think there is no price for you to force a ghost to stay in the world by using strange magic? , that price is your own lifespan!"

"Life..." I couldn't react for a moment, I stared at Lao Chu in a daze, these two words kept echoing in my mind.

"The ghost seal engraved on your body will reduce your lifespan by one point. You are using your own lifespan to extend the ghost slave's stay!" Old Chu was angry and hated, looking anxiously at the finger on my finger. As if looking for something to dig it out: "Why do you think I didn't teach you this? It's because the more advanced the ghost sealing technique, the more destructive it is to the ghost sealing master. The Chu family has been famous for generations. None of the ghost masters lived past fifty. They touched too many taboos, and in the end they couldn't stop. They had to contribute their own lifespans. People and ghosts have different paths. After all, they can't get too close, and if they can't keep the distance, that is a dead end. one."

After Lao Chu finished speaking, he was silent for a long time, looked at me and continued: "I don't expect you to be very successful, I only hope that you can live a long life and live this life in peace. Our Chu family has committed a lot of crimes in the past. It's almost paid off. Since your grandfather's generation, you have been washing your hands in the golden basin, and you will no longer be involved in the activities of the dead. I taught you how to overcome grievances. I want you to have a trick to save your life. I learned how to manipulate ghosts..."

"Then, can this thing still be removed?" When I heard that sending the ghost slaves requires such a tragic price, I couldn't help but feel cold all over. I calculated that I hoped that I would live a peaceful life like ordinary people.

Old Chu Daozi has a bean curd heart, but I don't understand him at all.

"If you can get rid of it so easily, why am I still in a hurry, alas..."

I saw Lao Chu's helpless and sad look, and felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he was my father, and he always made him worry about me. .

It’s a pity that things are up to now, it’s meaningless to say more, things have already happened, I can only try to find other ways to change it, I’m the only son in the family, if I die for no reason, who will do my filial piety for me and serve my parents ?Even if I marry a wife and have children in the future, I can't feel completely at ease, because women are too fickle, who can guarantee that she won't find a chance to lead the children to remarry after I leave.

But there is no other way right now. Before I can remove the vertical ghost mark on my finger, I must first get used to the female ghost brought out from the ancient tomb. Besides, I am afraid that I will have to make some big moves in the future to solve what Dao Feng said. It's not too late to settle things slowly.

Old Chu discussed it with me, and finally agreed with my idea. He asked me to study the ancient technique of sealing ghosts carefully. Maybe after I fully master it, I will naturally realize the method to remove the imprint.

Having said that, we all know in our hearts that the chance is actually very small, otherwise why so many capable people in the Chu family only live to fifty, their short lives are the best proof of the way of sealing ghosts against the sky.

Before I formally set my cultivation goals, I considered whether to go to the hospital for a full-body examination.

To be honest, the poison of Dao Feng's tomb beast has always been a stalk in my heart. I always feel a little uneasy when doing things with poison.

Unexpectedly, after telling Lao Chu this idea, he shook his head, patted me on the shoulder and said: "Silly boy, if you have to be half-smart, I will be satisfied. Why do you think you are so stupid? Think about it, my temper, if I really know who is poisoning you, I will just sit idly by? Don’t worry, the kid from the Dao family has a soft heart, and he has already detoxified you. I just let him go because he didn’t really poison you. Let him go, or I would have rushed up to fight him desperately."

I was dumbfounded when I heard the words, and I didn't know what to say for a while. Thinking of leaving the hospital two months ago, Dao Feng was still unconscious, and I felt a little uncomfortable.

He never thought of really harming me, but I left alone regardless of his safety. From this point of view, I am probably the most cold-blooded and ruthless one.

"I don't know what's going on with him now." Walking around in the park with the female ghost Xiaohai, I kicked the stones under my feet, and suddenly I missed the days when I was with them. Hello Daofeng, if you really ask him for help, That must be the happiest thing in my life.

It's just that after I leave without any kind, he may not be willing to get close to me again.

In the past two months, with the help of Lao Chu, I have figured out most of the explanations of the book about sealing ghosts, and even the taboo content has been studied by me one by one.

For me now, manipulating ghosts is really easy, and transforming some ordinary ghosts is also easy, but the content of the last few pages of the book dare not try lightly.

Because the first sentence of that volume is "When yang covers yin, the anode must be destroyed", Lao Chu said that one of the two "yang" characters must refer to yangshou, and it must not be used indiscriminately unless it is absolutely necessary.

I keep Lao Chu's words in mind, and only try and test the contents of the book repeatedly, simplifying and changing them until I master them thoroughly, or create my own unique skills.

The way of cultivation is from the beginning to the end. From the day I started to practice the ghost sealing technique, my previous life is over. If I accept the ghost sealing technique, it is equivalent to accepting another new life. Destiny is my destiny. What I change, I have to master it myself.

Walking all the way back to the village from the park, I bought some food, thinking that I might as well go to Huangquepo to have a look in the evening. There are many ghosts in that place, so I just happened to train Xiaohai.

Xiao Hai's loss of reputation is what I just said, and I can only blame her for being too natural, she always likes to lie on me while I'm sleeping, and when I wake up, she will scare me with a numb expression on her face.

In the beginning, I was really scared a few times, but after more times, I didn't feel it anymore. Sometimes I thought she was so cute in a daze, and sometimes I wanted to grab her and beat her up.

When I was approaching the door of the house, I found that the aunts of several neighbors gathered together and were discussing something. I saw them looking in the direction of my house, and I wondered if something happened at home, so I hurried to quicken my pace.

However, after turning a corner, I saw the familiar black Cayenne parked in front of my house. I knew I was wrong. I paused, then grinned at the corner of my mouth, and strode over with my hands in my pockets.
