Section 31 Return to the spiritual realm

The autumn wind rises, the yellow leaves fly, and the youth can be a little since ancient times.

The golden hall, the jade full house, the dust will return to the earth after a hundred and ten years.

In the world, there are too many grievances, there are many differences, Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are starving bones on the road. But only time is the fairest for everyone, it can't be seen or touched, but it surrounds everyone all the time, unconsciously takes away everyone's youth, takes away the beautiful face, and eventually will take away everyone's life, take away the honor and sorrow of a lifetime. Whether it is glory or wealth, in the end, it is just a pinch of loess and disappears.

However, in a special world, although time is still so cold and unforgiving, it is far less cruel and direct than the human world.

A body that had been in a secret room for decades, after a long period of time, not only did not decay, but slowly opened its eyes strangely. It's just that, perhaps because the years have been too long in the past few decades, the body's functions have deteriorated a little, and even the movement of opening your eyes is extremely difficult and slow. However, after a long time, the eyes that had been closed for decades finally slowly opened.

It was a slightly dimly lit room, furnished in such a simple way that there was nothing but two cabinets on the wall. However, because the patterns engraved on the walls and the floor shine with different brilliance from time to time, they look strange and mysterious. Decades have passed, and the room has clearly not changed, except for the black fog in the spherical circle in the middle of the room, and the stones at the corners of the room that are far less bright than they were then.

Familiar scenes resurfaced in his mind, and as his pupils gradually narrowed, Shen Tong's consciousness gradually recovered.

With a long exhale, Shen Tong was like a person who had been sleeping very heavily and woke up in vain, and he was a little distracted for a while. However, as time passed, with the operation of his brain, he finally came to his senses completely, and then the whole person froze there.

"Sakura, where is Sakura!" After Shen Tong lost his mind, he suddenly roared, his heart full of bitterness.

He remembered that he and his wife Wang Ying had died in the hospital before, and after spending decades of life together, they left at the same time. But why did he return to this ghost place after he died, and returned to this world where Li Ping was? Shouldn't his soul follow the attraction of the underworld to go to the spirit world to reincarnate with his wife?

Shen Tong became anxious, he was not afraid of death, since he knew that there was a soul, and he knew that there was an underworld. What he imagined was to live with his wife, die together, go to the underworld together, and start a reincarnation, although he didn't know if he could still be with his wife after reaching the spirit world, but he always needed to work hard. However, at this time, he inexplicably appeared in the spirit world, which means that his idea failed, and he was completely separated from his wife!

Shen Tong looked up to the sky and roared, his throat was a little dry because he hadn't spoken for a long time, and the voice he shouted was also harsh and abnormal, at this moment he seemed to be the only way to vent the resentment in his heart.

Although he should have died more than fifty years ago, he should have been satisfied with surviving unexpectedly. But the kind of attachment engraved in his heart, the kind of poor acquaintance and love, made him unwilling to let go, and made him want to continue to be by his wife's side.

It's just that although the idea is good, but the reality is a little cruel, after the soul element in the divine consciousness is exhausted, when he dies, like other soul bodies, he loses his own consciousness, and can only let his soul body be dominated by gravity. But as for why his soul body was attracted by the Soul Returning Array again, I don't know if it was the will of heaven or because there were too many innate soul elements in his soul body, which was most likely to be concerned by the Soul Returning Array.

After roaring, Shen Tong immediately calmed down, I don't know if it was because his divine sense fused Li Ping's memory and soul element, or because he had lived in this body for five years, so the fit between soul and body was very high, and in a short period of time, he had already recovered the ability to act. Immediately, Shen Tong relied on Li Ping's memory and waved his hand at the trapped formation in the middle of the soul returning array, and in a blink of an eye, he photographed a black mist-like soul body in front of him.

This originally simple action suddenly made Shen Tong feel a very difficult feeling, and he originally wanted to search for souls to read the memory of this soul body, but then he felt that his state at this time was really unable to support such an action. Especially when the soul element in his divine consciousness was exhausted, he couldn't rely on the powerful power of his divine consciousness to search for souls, which made him realize that the current situation of this body was really bad.

After a deep sigh, Shen Tong walked to the shelf full of small spirit bottles, because of the ban on the forbidden spirit talismans, the forbidden talismans on these small spirit talismans have maintained their efficacy for so many years. Immediately, after Shen Tong unveiled the forbidden talisman, he suddenly sucked all the forbidden Pure Soul Yuan into his body. With the intake of a large amount of soul element, Li Ping's dry divine consciousness sea was able to quickly accumulate energy, and that kind of pleasant feeling quickly made Shen Tong's irritable mood involuntarily calm down.

With the fullness of his divine consciousness, his divine consciousness found that the spiritual power in his body had disappeared after so many years of slow consumption, thinking of this, his divine consciousness moved, and a low-level spiritual stone with a wooden attribute appeared in his hand from the Qiankun Ruyi bag, and quickly absorbed the spiritual power in the spiritual stone into his body with the operation of his "Gathering Spirit Formula" exercise.

This kind of natural action, this kind of skillful use of exercises and spells, couldn't help but make Shen Tong a little distracted.

Forty years ago, when he was in this secret room, he was full of trepidation and curiosity. At that time, he racked his brains in order to escape from here, and in a situation of near despair, he looked through the books on the shelves and accidentally studied the content of "Returning to God". Now, after fusing Li Ping's divine sense, he realized how reckless his reckless actions here were back then, and how many times he had stood on the brink of death without knowing it.

At this time, he couldn't help but instinctively reach out and touch the bead on his neck, as calm as usual and couldn't see the special, just like an ordinary ornament, but Shen Tong knew that without this bead, he might have already collapsed and disappeared. It's just that even Li Ping doesn't know what this bead is for, and he doesn't have the heart to study it at the moment, so he naturally has to put away the bead first and continue to focus on the soul returning array.

As the spiritual power in the spirit stone was absorbed, the whole stone turned into a pile of waste stones, and Shen Tong's body finally had a layer of spiritual power fluctuations of cultivation, and at the moment, this spiritual power was obviously enough for him to complete some simple spells and actions.

Shen Tong couldn't wait to take out the soul bodies in the soul returning array one by one, and then used Li Pingyuanxian's technique to strip off the divine consciousness memory and soul element, and then relied on his powerful divine sense to search for the soul and find the traces of his wife. Although it was already known from Li Ping's divine sense that the Soul Returning Array generally only worked on the soul body with the spiritual root, it was not without exceptions, especially since his wife obviously died with him, and the soul body left the body together, so it may not be impossible to be inhaled.

However, when Shen Tong finished exploring all the soul bodies in it, he still found nothing, and he didn't find any trace of his wife at all.

The little confidence he had just accumulated dissipated instantly, and Shen Tong sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, as if he had been drained of the strength of his whole body, staring blankly at this monotonous and boring secret room.

At this moment, Shen Tong couldn't help but have a suicidal thought, maybe he would be able to go to the underworld to meet his wife after he died? Or after replenishing his divine sense, he would go out of his body again and take the initiative to go to the underworld in a different direction from the last time? Shen Tong's mind couldn't help but have an impulse, but in Li Ping's memory, there seemed to be a little introduction to the underworld, which couldn't help but make him hesitate a little.

Among the six realms of reincarnation, the human world, the spirit world, the asura world, the beast world, the rakshasa world and the underworld are actually all the same degree of interface, these six worlds constitute a reincarnation, all of which revolve around the fairy world, but the underworld is different from other worlds, it seems to have a different operating system for monks and ordinary people, but what the specific situation is, Li Ping's memory only has a little vague impression.

The information he learned about was still seen in a dilapidated jade slip when he entered the family library after cultivating to the sixth level of the Qi cultivation period when he was fifteen years old. It's just that Li Ping was in high spirits at that time, and when he was the most proud in his life, he entered the library pavilion, and he also went to choose a spell suitable for his own cultivation, so naturally he had no interest in these things like wild history biography, and after a quick glance, he forgot about it, if it wasn't for the fact that after the divine consciousness cultivation reached the third layer, his intelligence would have increased greatly, and he had a similar ability to never forget, I am afraid that these messy things would have disappeared in his memory.

However, this made Shen Tong find a turning point and opportunity at this moment. It also made him temporarily give up the idea of suicide and going to the underworld on his own.

After all, for him, suicide is something that can be done at any time, and if the soul goes to the underworld out of the body, as long as this secret room is still there, it can naturally be carried out at any time, but once he can't find his wife after doing so, where is there a chance to do it again? For the sake of safety, it is naturally not too late to look at that jade slip before making plans.
