Chapter 20: The Art of Soul Snatching

Inside the village, there was a dead air, and an inexplicable aura lingered everywhere. Xu Yichen can perceive this evil qi with his yin and yang eyes.

Xu Yichen looked around, the village market, the shops were complete, and the houses were not neat, not like a deserted place. And now the villagers are all dying as if they were terminally ill...... No one toiled anymore, just lay on their backs and groaned like the walking dead.

"What the hell is going on!" Xu Yichen swallowed a deep mouthful of saliva.

"I'm afraid I've been robbed of my soul......," the Yaksha King's voice sounded in his head.

"Soul snatcher?"

"Yes!" The Yaksha King is well-informed, and now Xu Yichen also makes him more satisfied, so he said: "Spiritual power is the power of the soul, everyone has it, and some psychics will take the souls of ordinary people to strengthen their cultivation......"

"It's like refining the spirit core of a spirit body and a spirit beast, it's just that this soul snatching is more difficult, but it can provide more lasting power."

"As long as you don't annihilate the soul directly, absorb a part of it at once, and the rest of the recovering heaven and earth aura will slowly recover, and then seize the ...... at a certain time."

"However, in this way, the person who is taken will be demented at least and like the walking dead at worst...... And the performance of these villagers in front of him should be that the soul-snatchers are eager for quick success and quick profits, and they are excessively demanding. ”

"There is such a terrible spiritual art, who developed it!" When Xu Yichen heard this, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

"Of course it's your psychic!" The Yaksha King sneered.

The corners of Xu Yichen's mouth twitched, and then shuttled among the sick villagers.

"Up!" Xu Yichen's breathless spirit burst out, and the majestic spiritual power instantly poured into every villager, and the breathless spirit, which has no nature, can evolve all things, and the bodies of these villagers will not reject it.

"Huhu ......" Xu Yichen took a deep breath, and only relieved the symptoms of four or five villagers, and he was already out of breath.

"As the so-called equality of all beings, the power of everyone's soul, whether it is basically the same cultivation, psychics are just better at using the power of this soul than ordinary people, so many villagers, I save it like this, it's really a drop in the bucket!" Xu Yichen sighed.

Several villagers who were rescued by Xu Yichen cried bitterly at Xu Yichen and said, "Thank you for saving your life." ”

"How long has this been going on?" Xu Yichen asked.

"More than three months to ......"

"Three months?" Xu Yichen was stunned: "How can you live for three months in this state!" ”

"At first, we weren't so unwell!"

"Then why did you take this opportunity to leave this place at that time?" Xu Yichen asked.

The villager sighed: "At that time, there was a female bodhisattva in the village with a good heart and a beautiful person, and when we were sick, we went there to drink some medicine, and she didn't charge us a penny, and the medicine was cured ...... the disease."

"I didn't think about leaving, after all, this is our hometown for generations......"

Xu Yichen was speechless, hometown is the most basic and profound feeling for everyone, if you can, no one wants to leave home.

"And what about later? What about the female bodhisattva? ”

"Later, more and more people got sick, and slowly some seriously ill people appeared, and the female bodhisattva could not do anything, and then the female bodhisattva also fell ill......"

"Hey...... That's how the village became! ”

Xu Yichen pondered for a moment, although he didn't know what was going on, he could know one thing: the female bodhisattva in the mouth of the villagers must be an insider!

"Where is the female bodhisattva?"

"It's in a small building in the middle of the lake in the southeast of the village."

"You get out of here first, and there is a day in the southeast of Chenmen, where you can find your new place to live, and in the future, this place will be restored to its original state, and you can return to your hometown with your family!" Xu Yichen said to these people.

If you can save one person, it counts as one person......

These people had tears in their eyes: "Engong, let's not go...... Everything I have is here, so how can I survive alone and leave ......"

"Hey......" Xu Yichen sighed and turned to leave.

On the way, Xu Yichen took a few elixirs to restore his strength, the village was not big, and soon he saw an artificial lake in the southeast. The lake is full of lotus roots and lotus flowers. A wooden house in the center of the lake, although not luxurious, but also exquisite. If it weren't for the evil spirit in the sky, looking at it from afar, it would have the feeling of paradise.

Xu Yichen stepped into the wooden house, and a weak female voice came from in the inner room: "Where you come from, go back, I can't save you." ”

"I'm not here to save me, I'm here to save you!" Xu Yichen walked forward calmly and said in a deep voice. She didn't have direct insight into it, thinking that she felt that there was at least a good person in the house, and that it was rude to have direct insight into it.

"You? Save us? The woman in the house obviously didn't believe it, and wondered: "No one can save us......

"Then you don't treat me as a human ......," Xu Yichen smiled.

"I even scolded myself for not being human...... "The woman laughed too.

Xu Yichen's voice became serious: "It's not a human, it's not a curse, because some people are more hateful than beasts, and some have dirtier hearts than ghosts, so I'm boasting......"

Before speaking, Xu Yichen had already come to the door, and he stopped, waiting for the response of the people in the house.

"Come in!"

Xu Yichen smiled slightly and opened the door! Behind the door, a young woman crouched on the ground, her head raised slightly, her skin as white as snow, and her eyes were pale blue.

"Psychic!"

Xu Yichen looked at the woman in front of him, stunned for a moment, and then looked at it with yin and yang eyes, and saw that this woman was obviously different from ordinary people, but he didn't know what it was.

"This is a true spirit body!" The Yaksha King once again solved his doubts.

"True Spirit Body?" Xu Yichen was even more confused, and communicated with the Yaksha King in the sea of meaning.

"The formation of real spirits and their difficulties, what you have seen before, are just pseudo-spirits, but there are too few true spirits, and you have gradually forgotten the true spirits, and call those pseudo-spirits spirits!"

"Actually, only a true spirit body can be called a spirit body!"

"And the woman in front of you is!"

After Xu Yichen heard this, he understood a little, and then looked at the woman and asked, "Are you a spirit?" The woman smiled, her eyes looking into the distance, as if she had seen through everything: "Yes...... You're here to get my core. ”

"What's your name?" Xu Yichen ignored it, but continued to ask.

"No name......" The woman looked to the west of the village: "I was born in the evil pool, I have no name and no surname, I grew up, I don't know what I am, I don't know who I am......"

"You're in luck!" The Yaksha King said excitedly in Xu Yichen's mind: "I actually met an adult true spirit body, and I also volunteered to give you the spirit core!" ”

"What is the difference between a true spirit and a false spirit?"

"The biggest difference between a true spirit and a pseudo-spirit is self-evolution and growth!" The Yaksha King gushed endlessly, as if he was also excited by the sight of a true spirit body: "The so-called spirit bodies you have seen before, those natural formations are all with the help of external forces, and as much power as nature gives, he is as much power, and he cannot be promoted, nor can he leave the land where he was formed. ”

"And after the psychic dies, the spirit body is formed, and the cultivation slowly dissipates with the passage of time......"

"And the true spirit body is completely different from this, they are the same as humans or animals, they are born as a child, and when they grow up, they can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate on their own, improve their cultivation, and once they become adults, they will no longer be restricted by nature!"

"They are originally spiritual power condensation things, and even a genius like you will be thrown a few streets away by them at their cultivation speed!"

"This true spirit body in front of you is thousands of years old, and the power of her spirit core is enough for you to break through directly from a ninth-order spirit master to a first-order spirit venerable!"

"Such an opportunity is rare in 10,000 years, you definitely don't want Lang Fei!"

Xu Yichen heard the words of the Yaksha King, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Could it be him who snatched the soul?" Pretending to heal, but in fact just for the next soul-snatching? ”

"Impossible!" The Yaksha King categorically vetoed: "If you want to treat the person who has been taken from the soul, you have to infuse a large amount of spiritual power, unless it is your breathless spirit, and the rest of the people will lose more cultivation than he has obtained by taking the soul......"

"Moreover, this true spirit body doesn't need to use this method to cultivate at all......"

After getting the answer from the Yaksha King, Xu Yichen also put down the search, squatted down and looked directly at the woman and said, "Tell me, what's going on here?" ”

The woman closed her eyes and did not answer.

Xu Yichen asked again: "Those villagers have been saving you before?" ”

The woman remained silent.

Xu Yichen didn't give up and continued: "Who is the soul snatcher? The woman's eyes opened, and she glanced at Xu Yichen in surprise, her mouth opened, and she wanted to stop talking, but in the end, she still didn't say anything.

"Don't hesitate!" Xu Yichen urged: "There are more than a dozen villages around, and thousands of villagers are in danger, and one more life can be saved a moment earlier!" ”

"Are you really here to save their lives?" The woman spoke.

Xu Yichen shook his head: "I can't be unpredictable, I didn't know about this place in advance, I came to find something in the evil pool." ”

"When I found out about this matter when I passed by, people's lives were at stake, so naturally I wouldn't stand idly by."

The woman looked at Xu Yichen and hesitated for a moment, then sighed casually and said: "In the evil pool, in addition to me, there is also a group of scavenging coyote clans, due to the devouring of the corpses of the strong and the influence of the perennial evil qi, they gradually have great power. ”

"In order to cultivate faster, they also use the evil qi to perform the soul snatching technique."

"They have taken my strength and exercised some restraint, but ......," the woman said, "I miscalculated, and the soul-snatching technique used by this evil qi for a long time has brought my cultivation to a standstill, while the leader of the carrion-eating coyote has advanced by leaps and bounds......"

"This is where it is today......"

"I'll untie the evil spirit in you!" After Xu Yichen knew the reason, he said seriously: "If you cultivate to recover, take me to the land where you eat carrions, if they don't repent......

Xu Yichen smiled confidently, then his expression was cold, ruthlessness flashed on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "Then let them disappear completely!" ”
