Chapter 1364 Expressing Emotions
but in his mind, he could clearly see his grandfather, the fog-filled hut, the large wooden tub, and the young himself grinning with teeth bared inside.Even to his ears, he recalled the conversation...Looking at the black shadow violently twisting between Zhan Chou's two fingers, Ginger Cloud's eyes suddenly lit up!
This, in the eyes of Zhan Chou and Wang Yuanzhong, was thought to be a shock caused by Ginger Cloud. But they had no idea that although Ginger Cloud was indeed shocked at this moment, what she felt more was joy!
Even so, Ginger Cloud's heart silently called out a name, a name she had given herself – Ginger Shadow!
When Ginger Cloud left the chaotic and turbid wilderness realm to return to the Shan Hai realm, he encountered a strange shadow creature within the body of a Yin Ling beast!
What these shadows are, even Jiang Yun couldn't say for sure. He could only make a rough guess that they were some kind of parasitic existence born within the bodies of beasts in the Netherworld.
They are just shadows, of varying sizes. They have no features or limbs and can change their shape at will. Moreover, they can lure people into illusions without them realizing it.
Because the insides of Yin Spirit Beasts are like rifts, mostly darkness, these shadows hide within the darkness, completely merging with it.
If someone unaware of this were to be placed in such an environment, they would be completely unable to detect the presence of these shadows. Then, what awaits them is being pulled into the illusion by the shadows.
Back then, Jiang Yun was just like that. Fortunately, not only did he discover these shadows in time, but within those shadows, he also saw Dao imprints of various sizes.
Even, there was a shadow that actually hid inside one of the fragments of Dao Impression within Jiang Yun's body.
This shadow is different from other shadows because it has been imbued with sentience!
Therefore, at that time, Jiang Yun, who was merely a half-baked demon cultivator, boldly helped it open its nine orifices, enabling it to become a true demon and naming it Jiang Ying!
As these past experiences flashed through her mind, a gentle light dimmed in Jiang Yun's eyes. Looking at the dark shadow swirling around Zhan Chou's finger, a hint of tenderness appeared in her gaze.
Because this shadow is actually the kind of shadow from within the body of a Yinling beast!
This is also why Jiang Yun felt a sense of déjà vu when he saw its previous black qi state.
"Ginger, friend, does this thing count as a demon Do you have any way to deal with it"
At this time, Zhan Chou's voice rang out.
He saw that Ginger Cloud was just staring at the shadow, motionless and silent. He couldn't help himself any longer and took the initiative to speak.
Ginger Cloud retracted his gaze and silently glanced at Zhan Chou.
By now, Jiang Yun already knew that Zhan Chou and the old man before him had both entered the Yinling beast's body through the mirage.
And the fragment of his Dao Seal, there is a high probability that it was taken from this shadow body rooted in his brow!
Although Ginger Cloud couldn't be sure if the shadows besides Ginger Shadow counted as demons, he could at least confirm that the sorcery of demon cultivation still worked on them!
However, he deliberately furrowed his brow slightly and said, "I'm not entirely sure what it is. After all, this is the first time I've seen something like this, so I can only try it."
John nodded and said, "Alright, Daoist Ginger, please go ahead!"
Jean Chou was fed up with this shadow.
Although the presence of shadows didn't affect him in any way, there was always a shadowy something inside his body. And this shadow was gradually growing alongside his organs, which wasn't exactly comfortable. So he genuinely hoped that Jiang Yun would be able to deal with this shadow.
Jiang Yun pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and drew a Fu Yao seal. He gently patted it into the shadow's body.
At the same time, Jiang Yun's divine sense also resonated within the shadow body: "I don't know if you can understand my words, but I want to tell you that I have no ill intentions towards you."
You can trust me completely because I know someone like you, his name is Jiang Ying, I don't know if you've ever heard of him!
As soon as Jiang Yun spoke those words, he could immediately feel the shadow's body tremble slightly.
Although no sound was uttered, Ginger Cloud miraculously felt a sense of fear and reverence rising from the shadows.
This made Jiang Yun realize that this shadow, although it couldn't be said to have already been born with intelligence, was just one step away. At least it knew how to express its own emotions.
Moreover, the objects of fear and reverence these two emotions radiate from further indicate that it should know about Jiang Ying!
This discovery naturally filled Jiang Yun's heart with joy. Continuing with his divine consciousness, he said: "You don't have to be afraid, I won't pull you out of this person's body, I will only temporarily suppress you. In the future, I will definitely find a chance to let you go!"
Jiang Yun could actually extract the shadow directly from Zhan Chou's body now, but Zhan Chou's previous actions that gave away his intentions, and the fact that he and Wang Yuanzhong had mercilessly killed those nineteen cultivators without hesitation, led Jiang Yun to judge that they were also ruthless individuals.
...and leaving this shadow within Zhan Chou's body, at least it serves as a counterbalance. Perhaps someday, I can utilize this shadow myself.
The shadow obviously understood Jiang Yun's meaning, and gradually quieted down, no longer wriggling.
And this scene, of course, immediately brought a look of ecstasy to Zhan Chou's face.
He had tried countless methods, but whenever he touched the shadow, it would wildly twist and turn. Now, with just a single hand gesture, Jiang Yun had managed to silence the shadow, giving him a glimmer of hope.
However, Jiang Yun withdrew his palm and shook his head, saying: "This shadow is not considered a demon, so although my demon refining technique has an effect on it, the effect is not great."
"If performed several times, there might be a chance to draw it out from Friend Jian's body."
When it got to this point, Gingercloud shut her mouth.
Originally, Jiang Yun thought these two people came to him for his shadow. But now that he knew the shadow came from the Yinling Realm beast's body, he naturally understood they must have other requests of him.
As expected, upon hearing Jiang Yun's words, Zhan Chou and Wang Yuanzhong exchanged glances, nodding in unison before Zhan Chou once again tucked the shadow back into his brow.
This time, the shadow not only remained motionless but, as Jian Chou's wound on the brow healed, it completely vanished without a trace, and even the black qi didn't appear.
This discovery also made Zhan Chou more determined in his own thoughts. He exuded an aura that completely enveloped the entire room, and said: "Daoist Jiang, have you ever heard of the Strange Tower"
Seeing Zhan Chou's actions, Ginger Cloud knew she was right. A cold smile appeared in her heart, but on her face, she remained expressionless and said, "I've heard of him!"
"Yes!" Jiang Yun frowned slightly. "But didn't the headmaster of the Demon Dao Sect say this was a fabrication"
"Hmph!" Zhan Chou sneered. "That's because he's worried about a large influx of cultivators into the Demonic Dao Heaven. I'll tell you the truth, Elder Jiang, this isn't just a rumor, it's fact."
"Even, this strange building appearing is all my doing!"
"What!"
A look of surprise crossed Jiang Yun's face, but in his heart he suddenly understood why this time the appearance of the mirage was different from his own experience.
Seeing Jiang Yun's reaction, Zhan Chou's face was filled with arrogance. "To be honest, my brother and I entered this strange building forty or fifty years ago and have been living there ever since until three months ago when we just left!"
"The reason I left was to find a few friends to enter the Weird Tower together again, because it's full of treasures and opportunities!"
"Master Jiang, would you be interested in joining us on this journey"
