Chapter 8: The Man in the Array
Xun Yi couldn't describe how he felt when he woke up, he used to think that the pain when he had a headache was already the extreme of pain, but now the pain he suffered was many times worse than before, and it was not only the pain that tortured him at the moment, but also an indescribable discomfort in his heart, he really couldn't say, he had never experienced this kind of discomfort, if he was asked to choose between a headache and this discomfort, he would not hesitate to choose a headache, and even would rather die than bear that discomfort again.

The consciousness he had just regained gradually disappeared in his tumbling, and he felt that he was dying, but there was no fear in his heart, and he hoped that he could die sooner, so that he could get rid of the discomfort as soon as possible, and soon he fainted again.
When he woke up again, it was like he had just recovered from a serious illness, although his head still hurt a little, but he felt that the whole person was refreshed, just like a person who had been sick for a long time and had a stuffy nose, and suddenly his nose was unblocked, and the feeling was wonderful.
He opened his eyes eagerly, and the first thing that caught his eye was a corpse that had turned into white bones, and he was startled, and sat up suddenly, and was shocked to find that there were several skeletons scattered far and near among the green grass.
"Little one, turn around. An old voice came from behind him.
The voice was close at hand, Xun Yi, who was already in a panic, was frightened again, instinctively turned his head suddenly, he saw an old man who described a withered tree sitting less than three feet away from him, and behind him was a large tree with a few hugs, the old man looked more than ninety years old, and what was striking was that although his face was full of wrinkles, the skin on the center of his eyebrows was extremely smooth and white, and it looked quite weird, as if a piece of jade was embedded in the center of his eyebrows.
The old man spoke: "Don't be afraid, little one, tell me where your family lives and what your name is." ”
His tone was very gentle, which made Xun Yi's heart feel a little reassured, and he watched the other party slowly stand up before speaking, but did not answer his question, but asked, "Am I dead?"
The old man shook his head and said, "Not dead yet." ”
Xun Yi was ecstatic when he heard this, swallowed his saliva, looked around and said, "What kind of place is this?"
"Sort of, you're in a circle. The old man replied calmly.
Sensing that the old man was not hostile, Xun Yi blinked and asked, "What is the magic circle? Have you seen my companion? His name is Xiyang, he is as big as me and stronger than me. ”
The old man smiled at the corner of his mouth, as if he was quite interested in this child, and said slowly: "The magic circle is a formation formed by spells, and this magic circle is specially used to deal with people who practice special exercises, it is very large, more than a thousand miles in radius, you were the only one who came in just now, and your partner couldn't come in." ”
Xun Yi frowned and said, "Why?" As soon as the words came out, he seemed to understand something, and his brows furrowed even tighter.
The old man smiled even more and said, "It's time for you to answer my words, right?"
"Hmm...... My name is Xunyi, I'm from Ping'an City, old man, you are ......"
The old man said: "You won't know my name, tell me, how did you enter this circle?"
Xun Yi wanted to pout, but he still didn't dare, and said, "You won't have heard of my name, but I still answered." ”
The old man smiled dumbly and said, "You little guy is also interesting, then I will tell you that the old man is the Emperor of Heaven." ”
"Oh, it's a good name, it's magnificent, it's a lot of justice, and it needs to be corrected. Well...... To be honest, I don't really know how I got here, I fainted before I did. ”
Zheng Tianjun's gaze had a sense of scrutiny, and then turned soft, and said, "Do you know that if it weren't for the old man to come to the rescue, even if you can survive this period, it won't be long before you die." ”
Xun Yi believed this, knelt on the ground after a little hesitation, and said happily: "Thank you for the old man's life-saving grace, so my life is picked up?"
Zhengtianjun said: "You should know it yourself. ”
Xun Yi smiled, moved his arm, and said, "I have never felt so comfortable, and my mind is much refreshed. ”
"It's much more serious than all kinds of diseases, didn't those Taoist priests of the Tianying Sect tell you anything?"
Xun Yi pondered: "I don't remember clearly, a man named Yushanzi took me and my companions to a small valley, and met one of his fifth uncles, who seemed to sense that something was wrong with me, glared at me, and then my mind became in a trance, as if my soul was gone, and my heart was empty." At this point, he closed his eyes and frowned, and after a while he continued, "I vaguely remember that they seemed to have mentioned the demon fox. ”
"Demon fox?" Zheng Tianjun nodded slowly, and said: "You little guy really has a lot of adventures, if it weren't for the old man who was afraid of hurting your intelligence, he would definitely search your soul and check what happened." "With what he has left of his cultivation now, if he wants to search for souls, he may not be able to hurt the other party's spiritual intelligence, this is still secondary, the real reason is that soul searching consumes extremely spiritual power and divine sense, and he can't afford to consume it.
"Soul searching?" Xun Yi subconsciously knelt back and climbed two steps, his face showing vigilance.
Zheng Tianjun didn't pay attention to his actions, raised his head and thought about it: "Even if you don't search for souls, the old man can guess a few points, if there is a demon fox involved, then the doubts in my heart can be solved." ”
Xun Yi looked at him with a blank eye and said, "What the hell is going on, I hope the old man will solve the boy's doubts." ”
Zhengtianjun said: "As soon as I saw you, I saw that you have been possessed by a wisp of ghast for many years, and I was puzzled at the time, because you should have been devoured by such a powerful soul possessed by it, and it would not be what it is now, now I think about it, it must be that the demon fox has been helping you fight against this ghast for some reason, you little guy is really blessed, first there is a fox fairy to protect the soul, and then came to the old man's side, and was able to dissolve the ghast." ”
Xun Yi's eyes glared at the boss, and he was stunned for a long time before he said, "How can there be such a thing? You didn't lie to me, did you?"
Zheng Tianjun snorted lightly and replied disdainfully.
Xun Yi suddenly said angrily: "If this is the case, where is the deep blessing, it is simply unlucky to get home, then why did the ghast haunt me? I lost the memory of my childhood, is it the ghost caused by this evil spirit? I don't even know who my parents are, I want to ...... it" Speaking of this, he was a little nervous and asked, "You really turned it away?
Zhengtianjun laughed and said, "It's gone, don't worry." He didn't dare to say that the ghast had been used for his own purposes, for fear that it would scare him if he said it.
Xun Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some embarrassment: "It's not that I'm afraid of it, it's just that I, a mortal, really have no means to do it, since it has been turned away by you, then this grudge will be done, but why did it find me?"
"No one knows about this, maybe it's because they perceive that you're qualified, or maybe they just happened to meet you, it's just a wisp of remnant soul, and it doesn't have any consciousness, and it only acts on instinct. ”
Xun Yi asked curiously: "Does the old man know the origin of this soul?"
Zheng Tianjun's eyes were a little lonely, and he slowly shook his head. He knew this soul, and if he hadn't been in the magic circle, he might have sacrificed Xun Yi to help this soul take away.
Xun Yi, who had been eating a hundred family meals, had already practiced the ability to observe words and expressions, and no longer asked, so he diverted the topic and said: "The Taoist leader of the Tianying faction said that my soul number is as much as thirty-eight, so how much is left after removing this evil soul and fox soul?" Because he knew the importance of soul numbers, he was very concerned about this issue.
"These two souls are hidden souls, and those who don't cultivate enough can't see them, and your soul number is indeed thirty-eight and slightly stronger. ”
Xun Yi smiled, laughing very happily, the possessed demon was removed, and the qualification was not reduced, so the previous hardship was nothing, he walked in front of the old man with a smile and sat down peacefully. It would be a lie to say that he has no scruples about this old man, but he has his own plans in his heart, firstly, he does not feel that this old man has any malice towards him at present, and secondly, since the fox fairy is to protect himself, Yushanzi and the fifth uncle of the Tianying faction attacked him, and he will definitely not be able to mix in the Tianying faction in the future, and at the same time, he will inevitably have suspicion and jealousy towards these two people and Tianying. He has already stepped into the world of cultivating immortals with half a foot, so he naturally refuses to return to the mortal world, and the old man in front of him may be his next opportunity.
