11. A thousand-year-old ghost (middle)
Zhang Longqian, who couldn't figure out the situation, was secretly thinking about what the young man wanted him to listen to, but suddenly heard two voices coming from this quiet space.
A voice of indecision, and a cold, calm voice.
It was Nangong Piao and Cang Yan.
“…… Yan, are you sure she's mortal? ”
"Hmm."
The voice seemed to be close at hand, but she couldn't tell which direction it came from, Zhang Long looked around, but still couldn't find the two of them, she couldn't help but want to call the two of them in confusion, but heard Nangong Piao speak again.
"Indeed, as you have concluded, she does not have a trace of 'mana' in her body, and her spiritual power is very messy, just like the situation of mortals, and she is now unconscious due to the overuse of spiritual power, unlike the mistakes that a person who learns spells would make. But...... Even among mages, I have never seen anyone with such abundant spiritual power as her, and she has used the 'Broken Army' that I have not taught her, and her amazing skills, she ...... Is it really just a mortal? ”
"On the surface, they are really mere mortals."
Hearing Cang Yan's flat and sure voice, Nangong Piao hesitated and said, "Since it's just an 'appearance', will it ...... Could it be that she is someone who has just learned spells? If that's the case, it's normal for spiritual power to be as messy as mortals, right? ”
"I don't know." There didn't seem to be any intention to care about this issue, and Cang Yan's indifferent voice didn't hesitate at all, "Only she knows." ”
“…… Also...... It seems that we have to wait for her to wake up and ask well, if she is really 'loose cultivation', it is okay to say, if it is a mortal, we can't use the 'memory stone' to erase her memory, and then ......" After a slight pause, Nangong Piao's voice seemed a little uneasy, "I'm afraid I can only take her back to the 'Law Palace' for amnestics." ”
What answered Nangong Piao was Cang Yan's silence.
Seeing that there was no more sound, Zhang Longqian thought quietly. From the conversation between Nangong Piao and Cang Yan, she had heard it very clearly, she was now in a state of losing consciousness, and it seemed reasonable that she would enter the depths of her own consciousness, that is to say, the strange young man in front of her who did not have the slightest malice on her body did not lie to her.
After understanding this, thinking that the other party was also kind to her, she had been so obviously guarded that she couldn't say anything, and after a little hesitation, Zhang Longqian walked up to the young man to show that he had taken off his guard, and then bowed sincerely: "Please bear with me for the previous faux pas, thank you for saving my life." ”
Hearing this, the young man finally raised his eyelids, he glanced at Zhang Longqian, who had a sincere face, and hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly arrogantly: "Oh? You finally get it? ”
This lazy and disdainful tone made Zhang Longqian really uncomfortable, but in such a strange and strange place, she didn't want to offend this young man who seemed to be very capable, so she asked politely: "May I ask what your Excellency is ......?"
"Wind Star."
Faintly spit out two words, the young man had no intention of speaking, he didn't even have the intention of standing up, just looked at Zhang Longqian with an interested gaze. Being looked at a little inexplicably by his interested gaze, Zhang Longqian looked at himself suspiciously, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him, so he couldn't figure out why the young man had such eyes.
Blinking in confusion, Zhang Long also sat down, then looked at the young man and said, "That...... Excuse me...... Your Excellency, since this is my sea of consciousness and no one else can enter it, why are you here? ”
Hearing this, Fengxing chuckled lightly, and said in an arrogant tone that spoke to the juniors: "Little girl, I thought you wouldn't ask." After a pause, he spoke lazily: "Logically speaking, I really shouldn't have entered this place, just because you became my master and called me, so it is. ”
Originally, Zhang Longqian was still slandering Fengxing, who looked about the same age as her, actually called her "little girl", but after listening to his words, the unexpected information made Zhang Longqian's unhappiness disappear for a while, and she couldn't help but doubt her ears: "What did you say?" Master? I? ”
Seeing Feng Xing nodding, Zhang Longqian felt even more incomprehensible. After all, for her who grew up in modern times, the title of "master" to declare her ownership will only appear when facing inhuman creatures or things, and the Fengxing in front of her is a "person" no matter how she looks at it, and it is not a slave society, how can she be the "master" of a "person"?
"Wait a minute, I don't quite understand." Subconsciously raising his hand, Zhang Longqian frowned and said bitterly, "How did I become another person's master?" ”
"'People'?" It seemed a little surprised that Zhang Longqian would say this definition, Feng Xing smiled playfully, and continued to speak calmly.
"I am no longer human, and now I am just a wisp of remnant soul, attached to the 'spiritual object' to exist for a thousand years."
A remnant soul that has existed for thousands of years? A thousand-year-old ghost?!
This concept was too terrifying, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but feel a little confused, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, while Fengxing looked at her with interest, as if he was looking forward to her reaction, which made her thoughts even more complicated.
If what he said was true, it would be too bizarre, wouldn't it? …… No, I've even seen youkai and mages, and it doesn't seem like a big deal to see an old ghost, but ...... What does it mean that he entered the sea of my consciousness because of a "call"? I didn't even know he existed, when did I call him? Then again, how the hell did I become his "master"? Even if he has a "I've already explained" expression, I don't understand it at all!
Seeing Zhang Longqian looking down and thinking hard, he could probably guess a little bit of what she was thinking, Feng Xing narrowed his eyes amusedly, and simply opened his mouth to explain carefully.
In this world, no matter what kind of creature it is, as long as it is alive, it has a soul. When they die, the "spirit" that has the power of life will dissipate in heaven and earth, and return the power to the human world, and the "soul" that represents consciousness will return to the underworld and enter the next reincarnation. This is the law of the world, and no living thing can violate it.
But sometimes, because of too strong obsession, some souls will wander in the world for a while, but they will eventually be taken away by the ghosts and return to the underworld. For the dead soul, if they want to stay in the human world for a long time, in addition to the "cultivation" that can only achieve the conditions if they have the opportunity, they can only find a "thing to attach" to possess it and keep their last trace of divine consciousness immortal. And the best choice is not to possess people like in the story, but to have an aura artifact, which is commonly known as a spiritual object.
As long as it is possessed by the spirit, it will be difficult for the ghost to find traces of the soul, but in this way, the soul will be closely related to the spirit, and once the attached thing is damaged, the soul itself will also be harmed. However, on the other hand, the attachment of the spiritual energy can provide the most primitive spiritual power to the deceased soul, which is self-evident for the revenant soul who has lost the "spirit" that can generate and store power, so even if it is known that there is a risk, the revenant soul is still willing to enter the spirit as long as possible.
However, the old artifacts will slowly give birth to vague elves, and spiritual objects are even more so, and the spiritual objects attached to the dead soul have completely lost the opportunity to give birth to new elves because of the existence of the dead soul, so the existence of such a spirit spirit that almost replaces the spirit is not so much a dead soul to some extent, but a "machine spirit" of a spiritual object.
For the "machine spirit", once the spirit it is attached to has a master, then the "machine spirit" in a symbiotic relationship with the spirit will also lose its freedom, and the owner of the spirit object will be regarded as its own master, and as long as the spirit is still in his own hands, the master has absolute binding force on the "machine spirit" inside, even if its words and deeds are very ordinary, for the "machine spirit" are equivalent to "orders", as long as it does not exceed its own ability, the "machine spirit" must abide by these orders, Otherwise, they will immediately suffer a punishment that they cannot bear.
Therefore, Zhang Longqian, who had that spiritual object by mistake, became the "master" of Fengxing, a wisp of thousand-year-old remnant soul.
As for how Wind Star was called into the Sea of Consciousness, the answer is actually quite simple.
When he didn't know where this place was, Zhang Longqian once had an idea.
If only anyone could tell me......
It's just a thought, because there is no limit to the object, so Feng Xing, as a "machine spirit", is forced to be the object of this "command", and thus appears in her sea of consciousness.
