Chapter 803 Ghost
After death, do people become ghosts?
Why would Senior Sister Ye ask this?
Could it be...
Mo Hua's expression darkened, he thought for a moment, and then said to Hua Qianqian: "Senior Sister Qianqian, do you still have the belongings of Senior Sister Ye Jin?"
Hua Qianqian thought for a while, shook her head and said, "It's hard to say. Sister Jin'er burned herself to death. The whole house was burned down, leaving nothing behind. Even if there is anything left behind, it will be collected by the sect and handed over to Ye family."
"No..."
Mo Hua frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly an idea flashed, "Is there a book? Or a jade slip."
"It's all burned too..."
"No," Mo Hua said, "It's not her own, it's the books and jade slips she borrowed from the sect."
Hua Qianqian was startled and understood.
Mo Hua said: "Find a way to check in the Library Pavilion to see if Senior Sister Ye Jin has borrowed any books or jade slips before. There may be some clues in these books and jade slips."
Hua Qianqian glanced at Mo Hua in surprise and admired in her heart.
Junior Brother Mo is really smart.
Hua Qianqian said: "The records of the Library are confidential, but I have an aunt who is an elder in the Library. I can ask her for a favor. At this time tomorrow, I will give you the book and the jade slips. If I can’t figure it out, I’ll come and talk to you.”
Mo Hua nodded: "Okay."
The next day, after finishing the ink painting class, I came to the foot of the mountain early to squat.
After a while, Hua Qianqian, who was dressed in brocade and had beautiful appearance, also came over.
The two of them were sitting side by side under a big tree.
Hua Qianqian handed a storage bag embroidered with flowers to Mo Hua and let out a long sigh of relief:
"It's a bit troublesome... No matter what I say, my aunt just doesn't agree. I have been trying hard for a long time, and I promised her that in this sect's assessment, I will definitely get the 'A' grade in alchemy, so she opened her eyes and turned it over for me. Read the record."
Hua Qianqian pointed to the storage bag, "Sister Jin'er, I borrowed all the Taoist books from the library in the past month and put them in this storage bag."
Then she warned: "These originals cannot be shown to outsiders. Junior Brother Mo, you must not lose them, otherwise it will be difficult for me to explain to my aunt..."
"Yes, senior sister, don't worry!" Mo Hua assured.
Hua Qianqian was relieved, but she was still a little confused, "It's just...are there really any clues in this?"
"I hope so..."
Mo Hua's eyes brightened slightly.
…
Inside the Taixu Gate.
After returning to his disciple's residence, Mo Hua opened the storage bag Hua Qianqian gave him.
This is Baihuagu’s storage bag.
The storage bag is embroidered with colorful flowers.
In the storage bag, there are four monastic books and a jade slip.
I opened the ink paintings one by one and looked at them.
What is recorded in the jade slips is a flower cultivation method, which talks about how to cultivate various precious magnolia flowers.
Baihua Valley is named after "flower", and flower art is also one of the monastic courses in Baihua Valley. The female disciples of Baihua Valley are more or less proficient in some flower art.
Mo Hua remembered that Senior Sister Qianqian said that Senior Sister Ye Jin liked magnolia flowers very much during her lifetime, so the flower art she learned was mainly based on "Magnolia".
But he himself knew nothing about flower arrangements.
He doesn't like growing anything that can't be eaten.
Mo Hua turned over the jade slips and found nothing, so he put them down temporarily.
After that, there are several monastic books.
There are ones that talk about alchemy, there are those that talk about spiritual practice, and there is another one that teaches women how to apply makeup and rouge, but the last one is very strange.
The title of the book is: "Hundred Taboos in Practice".
This is a book on Taoism that describes nearly a hundred taboos that should not be touched upon during practice, in order to prevent disciples from making mistakes and falling into the wrong path.
Mo Hua flipped through the book, and then his eyes suddenly stopped on a page.
This page has slight creases.
There were some water stains on it, which looked like tear stains.
There is a line of text near the tear stain:
"...If a person dies miserably, with a mouthful of deep resentment, he can turn into the most ferocious ghost..."
He died tragically, was filled with resentment, and turned into a ghost...
Mo Hua's heart gradually sank.
He thought for a moment, put away the storage bag, took out the Broken Bone Sword, unlocked a small seal, and asked: "Sword Bones, let me ask you a question."
"Master," Jian Gugu said halfway, he immediately realized that Mo Hua didn't like these two words, so he changed his words, "Young master, you ask."
"How did you become 'evil'?" Mo Hua asked.
"This..." Jian Gugu said with a sneer, "Don't you all know that I was killed by you, my flesh and blood was gone, my soul parasitized on the broken sword, and turned into a sword demon..."
Mo Hua frowned, "Is your situation... special?"
Jian Gugu's heart trembled, and he felt a little guilty, "Young Master, you mean..."
Mo Hua said: "I have killed other people and seen many people die, but there are very few people who can turn into evil spirits after death."
Among the people seen in Mo Hua, apart from the sword bones, the only one who turned into an evil spirit after death was Zhang Quan, the foundation-building monk who colluded with Lu Chengyun in the corpse mountain of Nanyue City to refine corpses together.
But Zhang Quan was in a special situation.
His entire family is a "ghoul".
He also has a "zombie picture" handed down from his ancestors. After death, the entire family will be included in the picture.
There must be some inheritance here.
It's just that Mo Hua is not a member of the corpse path after all, so he can't tell what evil way the Zhang Quan family has inherited.
But except for Zhang Quan, the other monks are dead when they die.
Will not easily become evil ghosts.
Sword bones are another special one.
It seems to have been prepared for a long time, either to refine the magic weapon of its own life and become a golden elixir demon cultivator, or after death, its flesh and blood will be gone and it will turn into a sword demon.
At that time, the situation in Ten Thousand Demons Valley was urgent, and Mo Hua didn't have time to think too much.
After careful consideration at this time, I felt that there was a big problem here.
Even if a "sword demon" is like an ant in his eyes, and can be crushed to death by evil spirits, in a sense, it has also changed from a human way to a "sneaky" way, avoiding real physical death. Tao disappears.
If they could choose this way, many monks would be willing to become "sword demons" after death.
But obviously there is no such good thing.
Most monks are done with everything after death.
There is something wrong with this sword bone...
Among the bones and broken swords, the bones of the sword trembled a little.
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.
In particular, this tiger is not only powerful and ferocious, but also has an almost demonic mind.
Jian Gugu's voice was hoarse, and he tried his best to remain calm and said: "Returning to the young master, there is no daylight in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons. I am just in a desperate situation, keeping a lucky mentality, thinking that if there is an emergency, I can turn it into a sword. Demons are also a way to survive.”
"In the end, by chance, I was killed by you, young master. My soul entered the broken bones of the sword and successfully transformed into a sword demon. I guess I am blessed by you, young master."
"Without you, young master, I wouldn't be able to walk this road. Maybe when I break through the golden elixir, I will be wiped out with no bones left..."
The sword bone flatters the ink painting silently.
Mo Hua's gaze was a bit intriguing, but he didn't ask any more questions, but said:
"Do you know... how can a person become a 'ghost'?"
Jian Gugu didn't want to answer.
It didn't know how much Mo Hua knew about this sneaky way. It was afraid that if he spilled the beans, Mo Hua would notice something.
But it is obvious and cannot say nothing.
The sword bones paused slightly, and then he said slowly: "Due to special circumstances, the monk lost his physical body, but his spiritual consciousness remains. Over time, he will turn into a ghost."
"Ghosts covet human bodies, especially those of close relatives."
"If there are no close relatives, then teachers, classmates, Taoist friends, etc., anyone who is related to it and has its memory will become its prey."
"It will parasitize on these people and devour their spiritual thoughts. After eating, it will find another host and continue to eat."
"And a person parasitized by a ghost will also have a drastic change in temperament and become insane. Once the ghost devours his consciousness, the person parasitized will also die..."
…
Jian Gugu finished these words with some anxiety.
Mo Hua nodded slightly.
The words about Sword Bones are similar to what Huangshan Jun said. "Are there any special circumstances?" Mo Hua asked again.
"Special case?"
"For example..." Mo Hua thought of the sentence in "Hundred Taboos in Practice", "If a person dies miserably and has deep resentment, he can turn into a most vicious ghost..."
Tragic death...
Jian Gugu looked stern and nodded: "Yes."
It thought for a while and then said truthfully: "Everything has exceptions, including the sneaky way. Some people practice ghost ways and are willing to do ghost cultivation; some people's bodies die and have no choice but to become ghosts; some people have bad luck and are parasitized by evil things. , became sneaky..."
"But these are general situations."
"The extreme case is a 'tragic death'. The monks suffered great torture and pain during their lifetime, and harbored great resentment and hatred. After such a tragic death, they will turn into evil ghosts, fierce ghosts, ferocious ghosts, fierce ghosts, etc. Fierce ghosts.”
"This kind of evil ghost is far stronger than ordinary evil spirits. It has deep resentment and is even more terrifying when it kills people."
Mo Hua frowned.
Huangshan Jun seems to have never mentioned these things.
He turned his head and silently glanced at the broken bone sword in his hand.
He seems to know a lot about this sword bone...
"Okay, it's none of your business."
Mo Hua said, then completed the Divine Lock Formation and sealed the sword bones again.
In the white bone sword, the sword bones let out a long sigh of relief.
But there was a layer of worry between Mo Hua's brows and eyes.
"It's not good..."
If this is true, Senior Sister Ye Jin was thinking that after her tragic death, she would be filled with resentment and turn into a ghost, so she set fire to burn herself alive.
To endure such pain is to turn yourself into a ghost.
But turning into a ghost is not that simple.
It would be okay if she didn't turn into a bad ghost. If she really did, she would probably "eat" people.
And she didn't die in the Ye family, but in the Baihua Valley.
In Baihua Valley, there are all fellow disciples and sisters who are related to her.
Even if she doesn't want to in her heart, driven by the instinct of the evil ghost, she will start to take over her physical body and look for spiritual consciousness to devour her.
It is even very possible that he is already "hosting" now...
The ink painting looked solemn.
…
The next day is the Xun holiday.
Mo Hua made an appointment with Hua Qianqian and briefly talked about the matter.
He didn't say anything sneaky, he just said:
"Senior Sister Ye Jin's way of death is a bit strange. The remaining resentment is very deep and may breed evil thoughts. Some terrible things may happen in Baihua Valley..."
Originally, Mo Hua thought that he would have to spend more time explaining it.
Unexpectedly, when Hua Qianqian heard this, her face immediately turned pale and she said in a trembling voice: "Yes, junior brother, you are right!"
Mo Hua's heart sank.
Hua Qianqian added: "These days, the sisters who have a good relationship with Sister Jin'er always feel uneasy. Occasionally they have nightmares at night, dreaming of Senior Sister Ye Jin who has a pale face and bloodless eyes. Wushen just looked at himself quietly and said things like 'It's so dirty' and 'I can't survive'."
"In a moment, the karma in the nightmare will be on fire."
"Sister Jin'er was standing in the sea of fire, burned beyond recognition, like a monster..."
Hua Qianqian's expression was one of fear and heartache.
Mo Hua felt heavy, and sure enough, the situation was already a bit serious.
This sign may already be a precursor to turning into a fierce ghost.
Hua Qian glanced at Mo Hua and couldn't help but ask: "Junior brother Mo, did something happen to sister Jin'er?"
"It's hard to say now..."
Mo Hua sighed.
There are currently few clues, so he can only guess.
What is the truth? He has not seen it with his own eyes, so he is not sure yet.
Mo Hua hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Sister Qianqian, can you... take me into Baihua Valley to have a look?"
Hua Qianqian was stunned, shook her head and sighed:
"The rules of Baihua Valley are very strict. All male cultivators are prohibited from entering."
"Are there really no exceptions?"
"No..." Hua Qianqian said.
"All right."
Mo Hua was a little disappointed.
It seems that we can only think of other ways.
For example, calling out all the disciples of Baihua Valley who are familiar with Senior Sister Ye Jin?
Especially, having nightmares about Senior Sister Ye Jin...
While Mo Hua was meditating, Hua Qianqian secretly looked at Mo Hua, her eyes flickering, and her heart couldn't help but beat.
"Actually...it's not impossible..."
Hua Qianqian whispered.
"What?" Mo Hua was a little surprised.
Hua Qianqian's eyes wandered over Mo Hua's face. In the end, she couldn't suppress the throbbing in her heart and whispered:
"Junior brother... put on the Taoist robe of Baihua Valley, and I will take you in."
Mo Hua was startled, looking shocked, and immediately refused:
"No, no!"
Absolutely not!
How could I, a majestic man and a young senior fellow from Taixu Sect, wear the Taoist robe of Baihua Valley?
Hua Qianqian was surprised when she said this.
Then she immediately realized that this might be the only opportunity in her life, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If you miss it this time, I'm afraid it will never be possible to realize your wish in the future.
"Just put it on and sneak into the valley." Hua Qianqian said.
At least let yourself take a look at Junior Brother Mo wearing the Baihua Valley Taoist robe.
He refused to do the ink painting even to death, and said sternly: "If it doesn't work, it just won't work."
"All right……"
Hua Qianqian felt regretful when she saw Mo Hua's firm attitude, but had no choice but to give up, "Then how can we investigate sister Jin'er's matter?"
Mo Hua thought for a while and said, "Can you call out all the senior sisters who have had nightmares and let me see them?"
Hua Qianqian looked embarrassed, but still said: "I'll try, but time is a bit tight, and the sisters are busy, so they may not be able to shout out during this break."
"Well," Mo Hua nodded, "Thank you, Senior Sister."
Afterwards, Hua Qianqian returned to Baihua Valley.
Mo Hua was still thinking about Ye Jin, but as he thought about it, he suddenly realized a problem:
It seemed useless to call out these senior sisters.
Human consciousness is sealed in the sea of consciousness.
The sneaky invasion also invades the sea of consciousness.
He couldn't "leave his soul out of his body", and his consciousness couldn't leave his body. If Sneaky didn't suck him in, he could only watch, and there was nothing he could do.
As for the sword bones...
In this case, the sword bones are useless.
Moreover, it is a sword demon, so it is best not to show its face in front of others.
The more troublesome part is that Senior Sister Ye Jin died in Baihua Valley. The place where she died is the place where the most resentful ghosts turn into ghosts.
If the "source" is not solved, even if you help several senior sisters get rid of ghost dreams, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and will not solve the problem.
Mo Hua had a headache.
During his break, he thought about it for a whole day, but there was still no way.
Towards the evening, Mo Hua hesitated again and again, and finally sighed deeply, and sent Hua Qianqian a message as if he was resigned to his fate:
"Senior sister, can you really sneak into Baihua Valley by wearing the Taoist robe of Baihua Valley..."
