Chapter 237 - Sense of Responsibility (1/2)
Gao Ge has heard of the 18 Ghost Arhats indeed.
Actually, Gao Ge doesn’t know much in this aspect. It happens that he knows about the 18 Ghost Arhats, which is only because the method of fostering them is rather brutal. Anyone who has heard of or seen it can hardly forget it.
“What are 18 Ghost Arhats?” Li Yun’an asks in a low voice aside.
Qin Yuming is also very curious.
Gao Ge takes a look at them, saying meaningfully, “You won’t want to know about it.”
“But we want to know about it now!” Li Yun’an says while picking her fingers.
It happens that Chen Long brings food for them with the little girl.
He also comes to see how the investigation goes on.
Gao Ge stands up, “Do you know the 18 Ghost Arhats?”
Chen Long is taken aback and then frowns, “Why do you suddenly ask me about that?” Then he asks in horror, “Are the lost kids…”
Gao Ge feels relieved and drags the little girl out of the room determinedly.
“I’ll leave you guys alone. Chen Long, you can tell Ms. Qin and the others about that, and I’ll take the little girl out for a walk.”
Dragged by Gao Ge, the little girl is so disgruntled that she pouts angrily.
“I’ve just arrived here. I don’t want to have a walk outside!”
“Yes, you do.” Gao Ge replies to her.
The door is closed.
Chen Long looks at Master Wen with his face full of confusion.
Qin Yuming doesn’t give him a chance to raise questions. Instead, she asks directly, “Chen Long, what are the 18 Ghost Arhats?”
Chen Long heaves a sigh. Instead of talking right away, he looks a bit melancholy and worried.
Under the circumstance, Gao Ge suddenly brings it up with him.
Chen Long naturally thinks of many things.
Thus, he looks gloomy now.
“The 18 Ghost Arhats are evil magic. Yet, as far as I know, it has been a lost magic since a long time ago, because the method of fostering 18 Ghost Arhats is extremely vicious. Anyone who adopts such an evil magic will be abandoned. Anyone has the right to punish him.” Chen Long takes a deep breath, saying, “I didn’t expect that it would appear again. If Gao Ge is right, the situation is really serious.”
“Tell us about it!” Li Yun’an rolls her eyes at him and says.
Chen Long looks at her, saying, “Do you really want to know?”
Qin Yuming and Li Yun’an both feel like killing him.
What’s wrong with these men?
Do men always like to keep people guessing?
“Actually, it is not complicated. If you want to foster 18 Ghost Arhats, you must find 18 children of Yin nature. Generally, the children shall be younger than six years old with the coexistence of Yin qi and innate energy in the body.”
Hearing that, Li Yun’an can’t help asking, “Why do the children have to be younger than six years old?”
Chen Long darts a glance at her and grins, saying, “Do you notice that people’s earliest memories generally date back to when they were six years old? That’s when people were in the innate status. Therefore, it is the best to start cultivating before six years old.”
Li Yun’an thinks for a while and feels what he says reasonable. Hence, she doesn’t ask further.
Without interruption anymore, Chen Long continues to say, “For 18 Ghost Arhats, you must find 18 children that satisfy the mentioned criteria and then drown them in the pot filled with water. You know, water also belongs to Yin. Then you need to set up the array and do the magic to extract the children’s souls and have them under control. After everything is done, you will get the 18 Ghost Arhats.”
Hearing Chen Long out, Qin Yuming and Li Yun’an are shocked.
“So, is the kids’ disappearance…” Li Yun’an stammers.
Master Wen coughs and says, “Now we cannot be sure of it yet. I can only say that it is possible.”
“We must find the kids as soon as possible.” Qin Yuming says.
“It is not easy to find a place where you can collect 18 children of Yin nature. Since they’ve found this place, they will not easily let go.” Chen Long says, “Therefore, although they are exposed now, it is not likely that they will give up. As they are brave enough to start this, they must hate to give it up…”
