Red Mansion: Incense and God Road, starting from the City God of Shenjing
Chapter 231: Sophora japonica demon soul, crimson pearl grass!
Chapter 231: Sophora japonica demon soul, crimson pearl grass!
An illusory ghost appeared in front of Jia Cong.
It changes constantly, sometimes transforming into the appearance of a middle-aged woman with a hideous and terrifying face.
Sometimes a tall locust tree appears, carrying a sense of an ancient tree towering into the sky.
“I see. Why is the Kong family so kind?”
A dark light flashed in his eyes.
Through his divine eyes, Jia Cong could clearly see the true nature of this fifth-level evil spirit.
But it was a locust tree creature that awakened its spiritual wisdom and embarked on the path of cultivation.
It is already very difficult for plants and living creatures to start practicing spiritual cultivation.
Not to mention entering the fifth realm.
Even though Jia Cong had read many books and countless miscellaneous notes and historical records, he had never seen a similar record.
Unlike a demon spirit, this is a fierce ghost.
After the death of the locust monster, its resentment did not dissipate and it eventually turned into a fierce ghost.
Then he broke through to the fifth level.
It’s a pity that this locust ghost has been suppressed by the ancestors of the Kong family for who knows how many years.
Not only was his sanity worn out, but he also lost all his sanity.
The ghost’s body was also riddled with holes, barely maintaining its ghost form.
Come to think of it, the Kong family had clearly guessed that Jia Cong was collecting ghosts to refine Taoist soldiers with the power of incense.
How could they really send an intact fifth-level evil ghost as a bet?
If we fail, we will help the enemy.
……
“If this locust ghost is to be conferred as a ghost god, at most a late fourth realm ghost will appear…”
After considering for a moment, Jia Cong also fell into hesitation.
In addition to ghosts and gods who have been conferred titles through accumulating merits, one can gain strength by relying on his priesthood.
The remaining ones are the ghosts and gods that Jia Cong conferred with his share of incense.
The strength is linked to the strength during the period of being a fierce ghost.
The Huai Ghost was too badly damaged, and its origin was also severely damaged.
Even if he was conferred the title, he would at most possess the strength of the late fourth realm.
Considering Jia Cong’s power today, the fourth level of ghosts and gods cannot be said to be insignificant.
But it is true that it cannot bring about any substantial improvement.
“Brother Cong…”
Just then, Lin Daiyu suddenly rushed in.
When he saw the Huai ghost in the room, he was stunned at first.
Then he swallowed.
“Brother Cong, this is…”
The New Year is approaching.
Daiyu originally came to see Jia Cong to ask about the New Year.
As a result, when I saw the ghost locust tree, a strong desire suddenly arose in my heart.
It seemed like a voice was telling her.
Eat it!
Devour it!
There will be huge benefits!
I immediately forgot my original purpose.
……
“What did Sister Lin feel about the bet she won today?”
Jia Cong noticed something strange about Daiyu.
He stretched out his hand and pointed, and a divine decree was heard.
After a few breaths, all the ghost and god masters in the Marquis’ Mansion gathered together.
The formation is half activated!
The mount Dabai was squatting at the door.
Baochai and the blood dragon also appeared in the room.
Once there is any unusual change, a shocking blow can be launched immediately.
“No, I feel a voice in my heart telling me…”
“Eat it, and there will be great benefits.”
Daiyu whispered softly.
Jia Cong first used his divine eyes to investigate, and then used his divine power to search Daiyu’s body carefully three or four times.
But she didn’t notice anything else unusual. This was just a strong thought that came from Daiyu’s instinct.
So, with an idea in mind, Huici slowly relaxed the restrictions on Huai Gui.
The power of the seal is released.
Ghostly spirit filled the air, and the wisdom of the Huai ghost had long been wiped out in countless years of suppression. At this moment, it seemed to be inexplicably attracted.
It turned into a faint light and directly penetrated into Daiyu’s body.
“Buzz!”
The locust ghost entered Daiyu’s body, and a terrifying aura began to rise from her body.
Behind it, an illusion that looked like a magical grass appeared.
It is emerald green, with a red unknown fruit on it.
It is clearly a scene full of vitality, but it gives people a feeling of death and silence.
“Jiangzhu Immortal Grass?”
Jia Cong frowned slightly when he saw this scene.
In the vision of the divine eye, the shadow of the fairy grass behind Daiyu did not look lush and green at all.
It is clearly a dead grass that has withered and died.
The red fruit above is not actually red, but a gray fruit that exudes a strong aura of death.
Rather than calling it a magical herb, it would be better to call it a hellish herb!
Seeing this scene, Jia Cong couldn’t help but think of the description in the original novel, that Lin Daiyu was the reincarnation of the Immortal Crimson Pearl Grass.
But if it is a magical herb, why does it emit such a strong aura of death?
Daiyu closed her eyes tightly, and the huge ghost power bred by the remaining soul of the locust ghost was absorbed.
The illusion of “ghost grass” appearing behind him gradually solidified, and the fruits on it became more mature and bigger.
The shadow of a locust tree is faintly visible among the fruits.
“change!”
Jia Cong couldn’t tell whether this was a blessing or a curse for Daiyu. After thinking for a moment, he stretched out his hand.
The surging divine power penetrated into Daiyu’s body.
The divine power is mysterious and evolves into everything.
It has the same power as panacea. Theoretically speaking, as long as there is enough divine power.
Jia Cong can even create things out of nothingness and make his wishes come true.
Regardless of whether this phantom of the magical grass is a blessing or a curse, it can never be a bad thing as long as there is divine power.
The transformation lasted for three hours!
Jia Cong also consumed thousands of his divine powers.
Finally, the fantasy behind Daiyu has become reality, and the gray fruits on the dark grass have fully matured.
Turn the virtual into the real and fall from it.
It disappeared into Daiyu’s mind.
Daiyu’s face suddenly showed a look of pain and struggle.
A pair of beautiful eyes opened, sometimes cruel and ruthless, with a cold gaze.
Sometimes she looked at Jia Cong with a delicate and gentle expression, and a sad look.
The two expressions went back and forth.
“Two souls born together?”
“Sure enough, he wants to revive the dead!”
When Jia Cong saw this scene, his eyes first showed understanding, and then suddenly became cold.
It was just as Jia Cong had guessed before.
There was actually a remnant soul hidden in the gray fruit, which wanted to be resurrected through Daiyu’s body!
It was only because Jia Cong infused thousands of divine powers into Daiyu’s body that he was able to temporarily prevent the other party’s plan of resurrection.
“I don’t care who you are, or who planned this!”
“If I don’t destroy your soul in the future, you will be unworthy of being a congenital god!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Shinto seal appeared.
A divine position flew out from the treasure seal!
【Accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and your merits will be rewarded. Lin Daiyu is appointed as the landowner of Xiaowangzhuang under the jurisdiction of Daxing County (ninth rank)! 】
Daiyu is kind-hearted, and Jia Cong has never been stingy with money since they came to the capital.
Even if one does not pay attention to doing good deeds on a daily basis, he would often give a few silver coins to the poor servants in the mansion when he meets them.
The merits are not much, but they are enough to be awarded.
From the ninth rank of priesthood, the lowest rank.
Compared with Jia Cong’s sixth-rank priesthood, or even Baochai’s seventh-rank priesthood, its brilliance is dim.
But even if it is lower, it is still one of the divine duties conceived by heaven and earth!
The will of heaven and earth has arrived!
A brilliant voice rang in the ears of Jia Cong and Daiyu at the same time.
“Daiyu obeys the order!”
Daiyu was suddenly inspired and quickly agreed.
As soon as he finished speaking, the divine power entered his body!
The heaven and earth acknowledge that this body belongs to Lin Daiyu, the landlady of Xiaowangzhuang!
Evil demons can take over the bodies of mortals or even monks.
But how can one take over the bodies of ghosts and gods bestowed by heaven and earth!
