Chapter 13: Lost Soul
"Duan Gongzi is saying that the Venerable Master himself said that he is about to return to heaven, and wants you to lock him up in the tomb?" Mr. Fu saw my puzzled gaze and asked Duan Zhiyi in confirmation. Duan Zhiyi nodded, Mr. Fu's expression had a hint of melancholy, and he muttered to himself: "Presumably, the Pingyao Sanren have been freed from the shackles of the flesh and have become immortals." ”
I have reservations about this statement, is it so easy to be an immortal? But there is no need to disagree with them on this issue. I only heard Mr. Fu ask again: "Did the Venerable Master say anything?" ”
Duan Zhiyi nodded again: "Of course I said, Master said that he watched the sky at night, and saw that there was a bad star in the northern sky, and its edge had the potential to overshadow the Emperor Star, but next to the Emperor Star there is a nameless star that is hidden and bright, and the Emperor Star is like a star, like a general star, and like a disaster star, Master can't figure out this kind of star, saying that there will be a great disaster in the world, let me hurry down the mountain to the capital." ”
"Calamity? What catastrophe? I looked at him suspiciously, wondering if I was referring to the evil surrender of General Lonely. Can the lonely general be affected by the situation in the world? I frowned and said, "Venerable Master let Duan Gongzi go down the mountain, but he wants to solve this mystery of the stars?" ”
"Puzzle solving?" Duan Zhiyi laughed, "The old man said that it is best to make a fortune in the chaos of the world, and I must be indispensable to enter Beijing." ”
"Huh?" Mr. Fu and I looked at Duan Zhiyi in a daze, this Pingyao Sanren Sect disciple is too chaotic, right? But I heard Duan Zhiyi say softly: "Actually, I know Master's intentions, the world is in chaos, and the lives will be ruined, and Master has reached the end of time, and he is powerless to save it, so he sent me down the mountain to try to prevent this disaster." As for what kind of calamity it is, although Master can't see through it, I believe I can sense it. ”
I looked at him for a long time before I said slowly: "Duan Gongzi, you have lived in the mountains since you were a child, you may not know the rules of this world, do you know that what you say today cannot be said to people at will, if it falls into the ears of people with ulterior motives, I am afraid that it will lead to death for Gongzi." ”
"I'm not going to tell anyone about it." He looked at me and smiled calmly, "You have an auspicious aura in you, I just told you about it, I believe you." ”
I looked at him quietly, his eyes were as pure as water, like a child who did not know anything about the world, however, I somehow felt that this man was not simple. A slight smile appeared on the corner of my lips: "Thank you for your trust, concubine." ”
He smiled faintly. I continued: "Can that prince tell me frankly, why did he linger outside the General's Mansion, and even say such things to people that the General's Mansion is shrouded in evil spirits?" ”
Duan Zhiyi was only slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It turns out that Mrs. knows that fierce little girl, this is the reason why Mrs. invited me to the house, right?" ”
"Yes, she's General Lone's niece, Ping An." I smiled faintly, "Ping'an's surname is impulsive and reckless, I believe that Gongzi said this, there must be a reason, and the concubine apologized to Gongzi on her behalf." ”
"How could I bother with her little girl." Duan Zhiyi waved his hand and said with a smile, "Since Madam asked me like this, I must have known that someone in the Lonely Mansion had fallen into evil magic?" ”
I glanced at Mr. Fu and nodded: "There are indeed people in the General's Mansion who have fallen for evil arts, how did Duan Gongzi know?" ”
"I said it, the general's mansion is shrouded in evil spirits." Duan Zhiyi smiled and pointed to his eyes, "My eyes are born different from others, and I can see things that ordinary people can't see. When I was a child, I was often scared half to death by those things, but Master said that this is my blessing, and how many cultivators who cultivate for a lifetime will not be able to achieve supernatural powers and open the eyes of heaven. ”
My vest is numb, it's yin and yang eyes, right? Since childhood, you can see ghosts and strange objects, such a magical power, don't do it. Since the Pingyao Sanren accepted him as an apprentice, they may have taken a fancy to his unusual talent. I looked at Mr. Fu and said to Duan Zhiyi, "Can that Duan Gongzi solve this evil art?" ”
I didn't tell him who was in the evil art, nor did I say that the evil art was a second-grade soul pull, in addition to not wanting to publicize the fact that General Lin was descended, I also wanted to test the ability of this Zhiyi, although he was an apprentice of Pingyao Sanren, but with his master's teaching method, how much did this person learn from his master? I only heard Duan Zhiyi talk eloquently: "The evil qi of the Lonely Mansion echoes with the evil star, the more powerful the evil qi, the brighter the evil star, this evil qi can affect the stars, so domineering, in my impression, it seems that only the most vicious evil descending in southern Xinjiang can do it." Am I right? ”
"Duan Gongzi is really well-read and strong." I was not surprised in my heart, and I saw that Mr. Fu's face also showed surprise, but I didn't expect him to guess the name of the evil art just by observing the evil qi and the stars. I couldn't help but get nervous, clenched the teaglass, and said expectantly: "Does that son know the way to save me?" ”
"Legend has it that in order to lift the soul descent, you need the help of an evil artifact." Duan Zhiyi frowned and said, "But the people in this world who have an evil weapon will probably not take it out at will." ”
"Why? Do you know who owns the evil weapon? "I do have an evil artifact, which is hidden under the collar, but I know that this is an artifact, so I have to me, the old man, and Mr. Fu. Before Duan Zhiyi didn't say anything, I wouldn't say anything about possessing an artifact lightly, and I didn't dare to trust a stranger too easily. I only heard Duan Zhiyi say: "Our Heavenly Emperor Dynasty's Protector God Ding can break the evil art of the second grade soul descent." ”
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Fu's face suddenly changed, he opened his mouth to speak, looked at me, and stopped. I wondered in my heart, why was Mr. Fu so shocked when he heard this?
"What is the Protector of the Country?" I asked Duan Zhiyi in my mouth, but my eyes looked at Mr. Fu. I only heard Duan Zhiyi explain: "Legend has it that Emperor Taizu, the founding emperor of Tiancao Kingdom, was given a divine tripod by immortals, and he was unveiled by the oracle to revolt, and he had to rule the world. After Emperor Taizu ascended the throne, he sealed the Shending as the god of protecting the country, and enshrined it in the Taimiao. ”
Since ancient times, some people have rebelled, and they will always make up a grandiose reason, either by the oracle or by the immortals, which is the instruction of the heavens, in order to show that they are reasonable to rebel. I looked at Mr. Fu's gradually calm expression, and said lightly: "This Shending, is it really a divine thing?" ”
If so, why didn't the old man try to use it to save Yun Zheng in the first place? Mr. Fu must know about this Protector of the Country, otherwise his face would not have changed drastically, why did he hide the matter of the Protector Tripod from me? Or, is he also hiding something from the old man?
"It seems that no one has ever doubted that Emperor Taizu has won the Protector God Ding, and he is indeed invincible and reigns over the world, and the Tiancao Dynasty has also become a celestial dynasty that is subdued by all directions." Duan Zhiyi said, "It's not ......"
If Shending can save the silent clouds, I think the emperor will not sit idly by, I think of the emperor's report to the general of silence, his calm expression, could it be that he knew that Shending could save him? But how did the emperor know that the artifact could destroy the evil arts?
I just felt a mess in my head, and I just wanted to solve the puzzle as soon as possible: "But what? "Although that Shending is a precious national treasure, it is used to save people, or to save the pillars of the country like Silent Shocking Clouds, and the emperor's confidants, there shouldn't be a big problem, right?
"The Protector of the Kingdom is the treasure of the town, which is not only related to the national fortune of the Tiancao Kingdom, but also the talisman of the Son of Heaven every dynasty, which can protect the emperor from being fascinated by evil arts and evil things." Duan Zhiyi's words were a little shocking, "Recklessly moving the Shending, in addition to affecting the emperor's luck, will also make the emperor open and have nothing to rely on within seven seven and forty-nine days." ”
My hand clenched at the teacup. If this is the case, it may be difficult for the emperor to use the Protector God Ding to save the silent clouds, even if the emperor wants to do this, I am afraid that the queen mother and the courtiers may not agree. I hesitated for a moment and asked, "What if there are other artifacts?" ”
"Other artifacts?" Duan Zhiyi glanced at me in surprise and said with a smile, "In this world, the only artifacts I know of in the present world are the Protector Divine Tripod enshrined in the Taimiao, and the other artifacts are all legendary things. ”
"What if there are other legendary artifacts in the world?" I tentatively asked, "For example, the legendary dragon Moyu, can you crack the evil descent?" ”
"Panlong Moyu?" Duan Zhiyi looked at me in surprise, "Although the Panlong Moyu is an artifact, how can it be in the world?" ”
"Why can't it?" I obviously wore it on my body, but seeing Duan Zhiyi's expression, I was afraid that there was a lot of article on this jade. Duan Zhiyi said with a smile: "There is indeed a record in the ancient book that the Panlong Moyu is an evil artifact, but the Panlong Moyu is actually not a simple evil artifact. ”
"People have three souls and seven spirits, and gods also have three souls and seven spirits, and people will die if they lose three souls and seven spirits, and legend has it that the three souls and seven spirits of the gods, each of which is withdrawn from the body, will turn into an artifact." Duan Zhiyi continued, "The Panlong Moyu is an artifact of the underworld, but almost no one knows that the Panlong Moyu is actually the awakening soul of one of the three souls of the Hades. ”
"What?" I cried out in a lost voice, my heart was shocked and confused, could it be that this black dragon jade is the soul of the Dark Flame? Duan Zhiyi was taken aback by my fierce reaction, I settled down and urged, "The concubine is rude, Duan Gongzi, please continue." ”
"People have three souls of heaven and earth, and among the three souls, the two souls of heaven and earth are always outside, and only the soul lives alone. The three souls of heaven and earth do not often meet together. Human life arises from the soul of life. After the soul lives in the womb, the energy is distributed on the seven chakras of the central channel of the human body, and the seven spirits of the form of sincerity and benevolence. The spirit is unique to the human body, and after death, the seven spirits dissipate, and the soul also leaves, and the life ends there. Duan Zhiyi continued, "The soul is the soul of the earth, and after the death of a person, he reports to hell, the soul of the earth is originally the life chart of the heavenly soul, and it can know all the karma of the heavenly soul, and it can also refer to the good and evil of the mission soul's body, so when the body dies, the earth soul will enter the earth of cause and effect - hell." ”
"Duan Gongzi just needs to say, what will happen if he loses this earth soul?" I didn't quite understand what he was saying, I just wanted to know what would happen to the Stygian Flame if this piece of jade was one of the three souls of the Stygian Flame?
Duan Zhiyi said: "If a person loses his soul, he will not be able to enter the underworld and be reincarnated." If the god loses the Earth Soul, he will not be able to perceive the past and the future, but he will have a powerful telepathy with the lost Earth Soul. Since Panlong Moyu is the soul of the Hades, how could it be extracted and turned into an artifact? That's why I said that this dragon black jade is absolutely impossible to appear. ”
I squeezed the teacup so hard that I almost broke it. My heart twitched with pain, Stygian Flame, you stupid boy, did you actually withdraw one of your own souls from me in order to let me contact you at any time? Could this be the reason why you still can't recover your memory? What if this piece of jade is returned to you? Do you remember everything? Stygian Flame, I owe you a debt that I can't pay off in my life......
