Chapter 36: The Spiritual Realm (1)
The mountains and mountains on the southeast border of Xuanling Country are densely forested, the valleys and ravines are criss-crossed, and the terrain is mixed and mixed. Thousands of years ago, the demons moved out of the wilderness, so that they could dig holes in the mountains and live in the forest. The sect he founded, the "Holy Spirit Sect", has its main altar located in this continuous mountain range, the largest mountain cave.
On this day, the mist in the mountains was hazy, and in a bamboo forest on the mountain behind the main altar of the Holy Spirit Sect, a lonely tomb was built here, looking at the traces on the inscription, it should have been built for some years, but there was no weed on the tomb, but it was planted with many white flowers, and it was in a vast area, blooming together.
And the person who can be buried in this Holy Spirit Sect altar, this dead person, the identity can be seen!
The desk in front of the grave, incense smoke is around. On the side, the girl in white who had appeared in Fengyuan City sat down on the spot, and since she left Fengyuan City, she had been flying for several days before returning.
"Grandpa...... Did you know that he wasn't dead, he was still alive, Xi'er was so happy, but ...... With Xi'er's identity, I don't dare to recognize him......"
The girl in white sighed slightly, quite sad, and said, only to see her slowly pour a glass of sake in front of the grave, then pick up the jug and drink it herself.
"Ahem......"
The liquor burned her throat, which suddenly made her face red, covered her chest, and couldn't help coughing out.
It was uncomfortable, at this time, a figure rushed out behind him, and the girl in yellow came at some point, snatched the wine jug from her hand, and said, "Miss, you have never been a drinker, why don't you drink alone here today, and you don't even call Youlian together." ”
As she spoke, she threw her head back and gulped down.
The girl in white sighed lightly and said, "I'm worried about trivial matters, I just want to be quiet." ”
The girl Youlian drank and said, "Why is Miss worried, if someone bullies Miss, I will teach him a lesson for you." ”
The girl in white smiled bitterly, but said, "Didn't you discuss with the elders, why did you come to me?"
Youlian said: "The king sent someone to send a message to inform him. ”
"What did my father say in the letter?" asked the girl in white.
Youlian took the wine, sat on the ground like her, and said, "The letter said that a huge spiritual power has suddenly appeared in the spiritual realm, and the major sects have sent disciples to investigate, so let me pay close attention." ”
"Spirit Domain......" The girl in white paused, and said suspiciously: "Although the name of that place is like this, but the spiritual energy in its territory has been depleted, how can there be a huge spiritual power for no reason, could it be that there is some earth-shattering spiritual object buried in the ground?"
Youlian said: "The third elder also thinks the same, and at this moment he is gathering people and preparing to go to investigate and fight." ”
"Nonsense. The girl in white frowned and said, "Our clan has always been hated by the major sects, and now that they are gathered together, if the three elders go, won't they be sent to the door to be besieged." ”
"That being said, our people are already weak, and it would not be a headache to let those so-called righteous people get something terrible to use against us. Youlian suddenly said in distress.
The girl in white nodded, thought for a while, and said, "In this way, I will personally go to the Spirit Domain to find out, you tell the three elders, let them wait outside the Spirit Domain in disguise, if there is any movement, I will notify you." ”
Youlian said: "In this way, the young lady will bring Youlian with her, so that she can take care of it." ”
The girl in white shook her head and said, "You don't have to go this time, you stay in the sect, and I have something else to explain." ”
Youlian asked, "What does the young lady command?"
The girl in white said: "Ten years ago, Fengyuan City was slaughtered, and my father said that it was done by Yaksha, but I always felt that something was wrong, you read the ancient books in the sect to see if there are any methods or formations that can be cultivated by sacrificing tens of thousands of lives." ”
Youlian frowned slightly, and said, "Miss is suspicious of him......"
The girl in white sighed: "It's just a guess, you are the person I trust the most, you have to help me no matter what, otherwise I will be at ease." ”
Youlian said: "Since it is what Miss asks, Youlian will do it, but this is to go to the spiritual realm, and Miss must not go alone." The girl in white smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take Uncle Tie with me and let him protect me secretly, and I won't encounter any danger in the future." ”
Youlian nodded and said, "In this way, I will be relieved." As he spoke, he got up and left, disappeared into the mist, and said:
"Remember to ask the three elders to wait patiently, and don't expose traces in other people's realms, so as not to add to the trouble. ”
............
A small town five hundred miles west of Fengyuan City is the closest populated place to the city. Recently, an unbelievable strange thing has happened in an inn in the town.
Since two days ago, after a strange guest came to the store, the whole inn has been wrapped, perhaps this visitor has a quirk, so that the store has a black cloth to seal the light of his residence, not to mention, but also to summon food day and night, never stop. According to Xiao Er, who delivered food, the day was dark in the house, although there was an oil lamp illumination, but the light was strangely emitted a faint blue light, glowing in the house, extremely weird, making people always have a creepy feeling, and sent to eat, although the eater was a child, but the appearance was extremely terrifying, and it was terrifying to see.
On this day, Xiao Er delivered food as usual, and this was the third time he had come in an hour.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
After knocking on the door three times, Xiao Er shouted outside: "Guest officer, bring you food." ”
Suddenly, a young man's voice came from inside the room, saying, "Just put it at the door." ”
"Then you use it slowly. The shopkeeper breathed a long sigh of relief, then put the food box at the door, turned around and went downstairs, not daring to delay for a moment.
After a while, the door opened, Lin Yuan walked out of it, took the food box, and closed the door again.
Lin Yuan put the food in the box on the table and asked, "Are these still enough to eat?"
Shi Li gulped down, and before he could swallow his food, he shook his head and said, "Not enough, not enough, not enough yet, call some more." ”
Hearing this, Lin Yuan rolled his eyes, but he stumbled and almost fell. Since two days into the store, Shi Li has been eating day and night, never stopped, really starved to death, even the thing of going to the toilet, but also with food, just two days, this guy ate more than 1,000 taels of himself, according to his like this, how to eat, thinking of raising such a foodie in the future, Lin Yuan was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but look at the place where the lamp was burned, and the devouring spirit was being scorched by the lamp.
Since returning from Fengyuan City, the Spirit Eater has been in a deep sleep, Lin Yuan didn't want to disturb, but Shi Li's appetite is endless, like a bottomless hole, and he has no choice but to wake up the Spirit Eater, who is also a ghost, in this way, hoping that he will tell him a reason or two. And Lin Yuanshen was afraid that the mortal fire would not be able to work on the soul devourer, so he injected a faint trace of the power of the Nine Nether Flames into the lamplight, so that the room was illuminated in a dark blue.
Lin Yuan glanced at the money bag on his body, and when he was distressed, there was a sudden movement at the place where the lamp was burned, and he saw that the soul devouring that shrank into a ball above the lamp suddenly turned into a spiritual mist, and there was a painful and familiar ghost howl from inside.
"Grandma, you're awake. Lin Yuanwang was overjoyed and couldn't help but speak rudely.
I saw that in the spiritual mist, the original appearance of the spirit devouring gradually appeared, and as soon as it appeared, he hurriedly stayed away from the lamp in front of him, and shouted: "Young master, why did you burn me?"
Lin Yuan smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't call you, I just made this decision, I'm sorry." ”
Hearing this, the Spirit Devourer was angry, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Lin Yuan, so he had no choice but to hold back the anger in his heart, and he looked like a dumb person eating Coptis chinensis, and asked, "The young master has something to do with me?"
Lin Yuan pointed to the stone hat that kept eating, and asked, "He has been eating for two days in a row, and he still hasn't been full, do you know the reason?" ”
"It's just for that!"
The soul devourer wanted to cry without tears, and sighed: "The young master can know that all living beings eat because they are needed for the growth of their bodies, and since Shi Li is dead, although the body is an entity, it is formed by the condensation of resentment, not the body, and it is naturally useless to eat ordinary food. ”
After hearing this, Lin Yuan was awakened by his words, and then he suddenly realized, and said: "No wonder he has eaten so much, but he is still not full, his feelings are all in vain, according to what you say, ghosts don't need to eat, so why is he so hungry." ”
The devouring spirit smiled: "No, it's not that ghosts don't need to eat, but the things they eat are only the soul of life, Shi Kasa is so hungry, it's just that he has a great desire for food before he dies, so he is so persistent, this table full of dishes, although it is delicious, but the soul has been cooked, it has long been gone, no matter how much you eat, it is useless, the young master only needs to find some domestic animals, slaughter them to take the soul, or find some raw meat that has not died long ago, and the soul has not left the body, and give him a few to eat." ”
"Got it, I'll look for it. With that, Lin Yuan was about to go out, but as soon as he moved, he was stopped by the Spirit Devourer.
"Young master, wait. ”
Lin Yuan glanced back at him, only to see that the Spirit Devourer was quite embarrassed, and said, "That...... Master, I may not have eaten for a long time, you can get more. ”
Lin Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Got it, here later." ”
Subsequently, Lin Yuan closed the door and went out, instructing the store to slaughter all the raw poultry in the store, and to collect the souls of the dead in the Qiankun bag with the soul control method taught by the Spirit Devourer. And those slaughtered raw birds, their meat was abandoned by Lin Yuan, the store was surprised, but they didn't say anything when they were collecting money to do things, they just said that this guest was weird, and the money was just to see such a bloody scene, what a pervert.
Lin Yuan didn't know what everyone thought, and after collecting the souls of the living birds, he hurriedly returned to his residence, and after eating a few souls in Shi Li, he couldn't wait to ask, "What's the matter, do you feel full." ”
Shi Li nodded, snatched the Qiankun bag in Lin Yuan's hand, grabbed the soul from the bag, took one bite at a time, and said while eating: "It's a little full, but this thing is light and tasteless, far less delicious than food, you can call some more food." ”
Lin Yuan glanced at him, too lazy to take care of it, and suddenly there was a feeling of a big stone falling in his heart, and he was relaxed for a while.
After a while, Lin Yuan looked at the Devouring Spirit, who was also eating, and asked, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, why shouldn't I have been calling you for a long time before." ”
The spirit devouring trembled, and hurriedly said: "Young master, the subordinates are definitely not intentional, at that time in Fengyuan City, the subordinates suddenly felt a turmoil in the world, and under the panic, they had to fall into a deep sleep. ”
"Nonsense, there is no turmoil, how can I not feel it. Lin Yuan asked.
Spirit Devouring said: "Young Master doesn't know, this turmoil is not the other turmoil. ”
Lin Yuan frowned and said, "Tell me clearly......"
The Spirit Devourer smiled and said, "Young Master, have you ever heard of the Spirit Domain. ”
Lin Yuan nodded and said, "The Ancient Holy Land, I heard that it is the birthplace of the spiritual energy in the world, but I don't know when the spiritual power of that place has been exhausted and has become a barren land, the sandstone Gobi, not a single grass grows, and even the spirit clan of the ancient clan living there has been extinct. ”
The Spirit Devourer said again: "Yes, has the young master heard that in the spiritual realm, there is a place called the Heavenly Soul Tomb?"
Lin Yuan thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "I want to hear about it." ”
Devouring the soul said eloquently: "Everything in the world, whether it is mountains, rocks, flowers and plants, birds and beasts, all have spirits and souls, and it is not an exaggeration to say that heaven and earth are souls, and the soul of heaven and earth, living in a corner, is the so-called' Heavenly Soul Mound', its mound lives outside the heaven and earth, another world of the void, the entrance is placed in the spiritual domain, guarded by the spirit clan for generations, but since the extinction of the spirit race, the entrance has also disappeared, becoming a mystery in the world, until a few days ago in Fengyuan City, the soul power of heaven and earth suddenly shook, its power is vigorous, presumably it must be the long-disappeared heavenly soul mound reappeared in the world, subordinates dare not face it, so they sleep by themselves, and the young master's soul is protected by the body, naturally it is imperceptible. ”
