Something is wrong with my junior sister after her spiritual veins were destroyed

"Wait, the mission is to change the feng shui for the merchant???"

When he arrived at the meeting place mentioned by Chu Xingzhi, Su Zi touched her token and saw the content of the task on it.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Chu Xingzhi looked puzzled.

Gu Yanli and Chu Xingchuan were puzzled.

"But I don't know how to read Feng Shui... Besides, shouldn't the training mission be to slay demons or explore some dangerous secret realm? At the very least, it should be to fight monsters or something like that, right? Can changing Feng Shui be considered a training mission?"

"Pfft-"

After hearing Su Zi's words, Chu Xingzhi was the first one who couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Come on, let's get on the flying boat first. I'll explain it to you on the way."

Chu Xingzhi smiled and pushed Su Zi's shoulder, pushing her towards the flying boat parked nearby.

The flying boat was the trophy Chu Xingchuan obtained when he was on a mission with Gu Yanli some time ago.

So now Chu Xingchuan is already a car owner.

The flying boat is not big, probably about five or six meters long, but at most two meters wide.

So Su Zi and Chu Xingzhi sat side by side at the stern, Chu Xingchuan and Gu Yanli were at the bow, and there was a small tent in the middle, which was occupied by Han Ze.

The flying boat was sailing steadily in the sky towards Qinghe City. Gu Yanli patiently explained Su Zi's confusion to her.

"I understand. So most of the Feng Shui that people in the secular world talk about is actually the work of ghosts, right?" Su Zi nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes, our mission is to find the evil spirits that are causing trouble, get rid of them, and then get rid of the things that are contaminated with evil spirits. That will be considered a change in the feng shui."

"So, are ghosts just...ghosts?"

"Um...well, I don't know either. Ask my brother!" Xingzhi smiled mischievously, then turned around and shouted at Chu Xingchuan at the bow.

"Let me explain." Gu Yanli said.

“Ghosts and spirits are essentially the same, both are spirits that leave the body after death.

However, ghosts have no independent consciousness and are incomplete. Most of them have too strong obsessions during their lifetime and are unwilling to enter reincarnation even after death, so they still linger in the mortal world.

But ghosts usually refer to the spirits that have left the body before death, or the spirits that have been forcibly detained after death. They have all the memories, consciousness and ability to act before death. This is called a ghost. But if it is a ghost, our task will be more difficult. "

"Huh? Why?"

"The first one is to let the soul leave the body and turn into a ghost. If a normal person's soul leaves the body and does not return in time, the soul will slowly dissipate.

If you want to be able to leave your body at any time, you need to practice a technique, and this technique has long been banned in Xuanzhen Continent. Only evil practitioners would learn this technique."

Evil cultivators are a type of cultivators who have no talent for cultivation and can only improve their cultivation through some evil ways.

Ghost cultivation is just one of them. They practice ghost cultivation techniques during their lifetime, and when their soul becomes strong enough, they can leave their physical body.

If a ghost cultivator wants to make his soul stronger, he can only continuously devour other souls, which seems very similar to the soul-eating insect.

The strength of a ghost cultivator who can separate his soul from his body is at least comparable to that of a cultivator in the Jindan stage, and the attacks of his soul are hard to defend against. If your own soul power is not strong enough, even if you are in the Jindan stage, it will be difficult to resist a ghost cultivator.

Another type is that after death, the soul is forcibly detained by someone. This is something only ghost cultivators would do.

Only when a living person dies with negative emotions such as fear, despair, pain, sadness, hatred, anger, etc., and then the soul is detained through special methods can it be called a ghost, and a fierce ghost at that.

This kind of ghost is usually a little ghost that has been cultivated by ghosts. It can be their subordinates or the "food" they raise.

That’s why Gu Yanli said that if it was a ghost, no matter what kind of ghost it was, it would be very troublesome.

The location of this mission is Qinghe City, a small city northwest of Tianqing Sect.

Because this place is not close to the Monster Forest, the Tianqing Sect did not send any permanent disciples here.

Further northwest of Qinghe City is the Wanyao Sect’s sphere of influence.

Qinghe City of the Tianqing Sect and the Wanyao Sect are separated by the Yunqing River, which is a hundred feet wide. Although it is called the Yunqing River, due to geographical reasons, the river water is turbid and turbulent, and few people from both sides will travel through this river.

It took two and a half days just to fly from Tianqing Sect to Qinghe City.

So when we arrived at Qinghe City, it was already the third night since we left Tianqing Sect.

The distance between Qinghe City and other cities is also very large. If a mortal wants to travel from Qinghe City to the nearest town by carriage, it will take at least two or three days.

The flying boat landed at the gate of Qinghe City. A soldier guarding the gate came forward to inquire. It was already past the curfew at this time, so the few people were allowed to pass after explaining their purpose.

The entire Qinghe City is surrounded by mountains, the land is barren, and the yield of grain grown is not high.

However, a kind of red leaf tea is produced in abundance here, so almost every household here makes a living by growing tea.

The target of the mission is the largest tea merchant in Qinghe City - the Kang family.

Entering Qinghe City, there were almost no people on the streets. Yellow lanterns were hung on the eaves of every house, and there seemed to be some crooked symbols painted on them.

The doors and windows of every household were closed. Not even the sound of children crying or animals screaming could be heard. It was so quiet that one could only hear the rustling of leaves in the wind.

A faint negative energy permeates the roofs of every household in the city, and it cannot be detected without careful observation.

Su Zi didn't notice.

When Su Zi thought of Gu Yanli's popular science lectures on the road, he felt a chill on his back. At this moment, he only dared to stare at the road ahead and didn't dare to look around.

"No, the atmosphere here is too weird. I'm already a little scared before it even starts."

Su Zi held Chu Xingzhi's arm and leaned his whole body against her arm.

Damn, in her previous life she was not afraid of anything except ghosts.

In the horror movies I watched when I was a child, zombies are afraid of garlic and glutinous rice, and vampires are afraid of sunlight, and most importantly, these two have entities.

But what about ghosts? Although they are afraid of peach wood swords, talismans, paper and the like, they have no physical form.

You never know when it might suddenly appear behind you, put its cold hands on your shoulders, and put its face close to your ear. If you just tilt your head slightly, you can see its ferocious expression, which will scare you half to death!

What scares Su Zi even more is that the ghosts of Xuanzhen Continent are not afraid of the peach wood sword. They are only afraid of souls and powers of merit that are stronger than them.

What about peach wood sword and black dog blood? Maybe they are only useful against very weak ghosts.

According to the description of Kang Fan, the head of the Kang family, the ghosts here are very powerful and are no longer afraid of those.

Only monks who know magic can solve it.

Because ghosts are most present at night when the yin energy is heavy, that is, after midnight, and there was still an hour before midnight, the few people did not choose to rest in the inn, but went directly to Kang's house.

The Kang family mansion is located in the middle of the city lord's mansion, in the northwest direction.

After many twists and turns, we finally arrived at the gate of the Kang family mansion.

Compared to the yin energy that I saw when I just entered the city, the yin energy above the Kang family mansion is even more intense.

It was foggy and there seemed to be a dark cloud covering the sky.

It's not even midnight yet, but the yin energy is so strong. Chu Xingchuan and Gu Yanli's faces couldn't help but become solemn.

Yellow lanterns with talismans painted on them were also hung on the eaves of the door, and soul-soothing talismans obtained from stone temples on earth were pasted on the door pillars.

A breeze blew by, and a piece of talisman paper on the door was blown off and slowly fell to the ground in front of Su Zi.

A corner of the talisman paper painted with cinnabar was blown up by the wind. It trembled slightly a few times, then flew away, brushing against the tip of Su Zi's horn.
