Chapter 213 Eye Trouble
If this young man has such ability, then why would he become the face of that bad-tempered young lady?
After confirming that the ghost seal was harmless, the girl in light armor and blue clothes got off her horse and came over with a long sword in hand.
"Did you catch this ghost?"
Bailian nodded.
At this moment, his hair and cheeks were still stained with blood and broken flesh from when the old ghost touched him.
The torn clothes between his chest were stained with mottled blood, and it was impossible to confirm whether he was injured for a while.
Lan Youdie frowned deeply in her heart, and Fang Geyu became more and more disdainful.
Such a good-looking boy should be well cared for.
As the eldest lady of Shifang City, she actually put her face and body in danger like this.
It's really confusing.
"If you have any clues, just tell the army in the city directly. If someone comes to take care of this ghost, why do you have to act like a hero yourself? Will you be injured?" Lan Youdie asked.
Bailian said: "I have not been injured. Since Miss Lan is here, I will leave this ghost to you, Miss Lan."
Lan Youdie looked strange.
Don’t you know that this old ghost Zhou Ruyan is a wanted person in the border town with a very high reward amount. If he is taken to the city headquarters to report, he can get a lot of spiritual stone bounty.
It is not earthly gold, but an extremely precious spiritual stone that is needed by everyone among practitioners.
He was so poor that he had to sell his life to show his dignity, and he actually gave up such a great opportunity for a small reward to others.
I’m afraid I really don’t understand the rules of the city.
Lan Xiaodie also needs military merit to establish the constitution, so naturally she will not be stupid enough to tell him this.
"Okay, no problem. Just leave this old ghost to me. Well tonight...you have worked hard too."
As she spoke, she couldn't wait to take out a small square piece of gold-checked cloth from her sleeve.
There is a magic-conquering bead hanging from each corner of the cloth.
She chanted a spell and put the old ghost and his tongue into the small cloth. The beads in all four directions were tightly bound and quickly wrapped into a round and bulging ball.
She suppressed the excitement in her heart. She never expected that she would get such a huge benefit when she just started her job tonight.
This kid is simply my lucky star.
"Okay, you are a good boy. If you have any trouble in the city in the future, just come to me. If Fang Geyu can't do it, I can do it for you." Despite the big advantage, Lan Youdie still treated him somewhat differently after all.
Bailian said: "There is something I really want to ask Miss Lan."
Lan Youdie raised her eyebrows lightly and said generously: "Tell me about it."
Bailian said: "Miss Lan called the old ghost Zhou Ruyan just now, do you know him?"
Lan Youdie was stunned. She didn't expect that this young man would be so interested in the origin of ghosts even though he was just catching ghosts.
But this was not a big deal. There was no need to hide it, so I patiently explained it.
It turns out that this old ghost named Zhou Ruyan was a mortal resident of the border town of Xianling City a hundred years ago.
They are not local ghosts suppressed in the mountains. They live a normal life in the city and make a living by reading faces.
Zhou Ruyan had no children and lived a leisurely life alone. He should have been able to spend his life safely and smoothly in the border town of Xianling.
But the strange eyes he was born with brought him a catastrophe for no reason.
His eyes can see ghosts.
Born with yin and yang eyes, he can see the fate and lifeblood of mortals and even practitioners, and can distinguish between humans and ghosts.
Yin and yang eyes are a special kind of eyes. Only those blessed by God, one in a million, can be lucky enough to be born with them.
There are two paths of yin and yang, and all ghosts need to be separated from each other. Ghosts return.
It is something that is invisible to humans.
The spirit is separated from the form, and each returns to its true form, which is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
Mortal bodies are thousands of mortals in this world. Even if they have spiritual roots and can practice cultivation, it is still difficult to see ghosts if they have not escaped from the realm of mortal world.
Only by relying on special soul-calling magic circles or the power of ghost-seeing talismans can ghosts be subdued.
If you are born with yin and yang eyes, you will definitely have shortcuts and advantages that ordinary people cannot have when practicing.
People with different eyes have a unique ability that is coveted by monks in the world.
But the bad thing is that he is guilty of having a jade and is unable to protect himself.
Although Zhou Ruyan was born with yin and yang pupils, he did not have spiritual roots and could not obtain them through cultivation, which was a pity.
If he lived in a small place in the countryside, he could make a living by looking at people's faces, and he would be at peace.
However, he admired the reputation of Xianling City and traveled across mountains and rivers to get into the city. He bowed and kowtowed three times outside the city, but could not get away, and finally entered the city.
Although it is an outer city, there are so many practitioners with spiritual roots in Xianling City.
He has a pair of eyes that are different from ordinary people. The practitioners in the city all gain merit and wealth by suppressing ghosts in all directions.
In the inner city, there are three thousand powerful ghosts that have been sealed away, and there is a strong yin energy. In the border city, there will always be some new ghosts that are resentful and unwilling to go back.
Ghost hunters will be rewarded.
Later, a female practitioner accidentally discovered that Zhou Ruyan was born with yin and yang pupils.
Her own strength was not strong. In order to develop better in the city, she designed to kill Zhou Ruyan, spread the word that he was possessed by a powerful ghost and needed to be expelled, took away his eyes, and refined them into his own. .
Feeling guilty, he abandoned Zhou Ruyan's body outside the city to prevent the military guards in the city from finding out the clues.
Zhou Ruyan died crying for injustice, but he was single, without a wife and children, so naturally no one could defend him.
Until later, the female monk relied on her unique pair of yin and yang pupils to catch ghosts and solve crimes. She repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and rose up step by step. She prospered all the way from the defender of the border city to the inner city. What an honor.
One person withered to bones.
One person ascends to the fairy city.
Fate is always unfair.
Zhou Ruyan's soul refused to go back and turned into a new ghost, wandering around in panic all day long and refusing to go back.
Even though he was in the body of a ghost, his eyes were blood-holes and he was screaming curses, he was expelled from the city because of his stigma.
There are monuments everywhere, how can he, a little new ghost, control his own destiny?
There are countless injustices in this world.
How could he be the only one who died in vain?
He is just one of the countless ghosts in the world who hold grudges and refuse to dissipate. He is like a slight wisp of wind blowing thousands of miles away in the world, unable to shake the wind.
Until one day, the female monk in the inner city struggled with her brains and finally got a good chance to enter the temple of the Emperor. She swiped the ashes under the statue of the Emperor and the Emperor, lit candles and knelt down in silence. Listen to the fairy sounds.
From that day on, the female monk in the inner city was deprived of her qualifications as a city guard and exiled to a distant mountain.
In the nameless solitary tomb, an old man from Miao Zhu in the mountain city sent a box with eyes in it and buried it in the soil.
The eyes are lost and restored, but there is no resurrection after death.
It is not difficult for Bai Lian to see that the emperor's intention is actually to let Zhou Ruyan put down his obsession and achieve transcendence.
The stigma can be washed away and the eyes restored.
But it made Zhou Ruyan even more obsessed than before. With deep resentment, he returned to the border town, and occasionally came out to cause trouble, murdering women in the city who were pregnant with cultivation. The methods were extremely cruel and vicious, gouging out the eyes and twisting the corpses was the norm.
