Chapter 9: The Soul Realm

The old monk in front of him, with a gray beard, a dignified appearance, and nine ring scars on his head, is the abbot of this ancient temple, and his legal name is Enlightenment.

The sweeping monk at the door is his junior brother, and his Dharma name is Wujue.

As for the two young monks who are less than five years old, they are his apprentices, one is called Jiekong, and the other is called Jiese.

These four people are the guardians of the ancient temple.

Under the reminder of the master's enlightenment, he immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be very serious about participating in meditation.

Looking at the pretending to be serious in the sky, the summer that has always been frosty suddenly showed a charming and sweet smile.

In the summer, he unloaded all the backpacks hanging on Luo Feng's body, and then took out the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea in the bag and put them under the ginkgo tree.

All the soul hunters who come to the ancient temple will bring some daily necessities for the guardians of the ancient temple, which is the obligation and responsibility of all soul hunters.

Before leaving, Summer took out two bags of snacks from his backpack, concealed the old monk's enlightenment, and quietly put them behind the abstinence of the void and the abstinence

After feeling the abnormal movement behind him, a happy smile appeared on his face.

After putting down these daily necessities, Summer took Luo Feng and walked towards the backyard and walked to the innermost wing.

This wing, from the outside, is similar to the other wings in the ancient temple, ancient and old.

The layout of the wing room, there is a small wing room on the left and right, and a spacious and bright living room in the middle.

At the head of the living room, there are no ancient calligraphy and paintings, and there are no mahogany tables and chairs, but instead there are two stone guards with huge stone swords.

These two stone statues are guarded, about five meters high and two meters wide, magnificent and majestic.

Judging from the carved texture, weathering, and clothing style of the stone statue guards, those archaeologists must have deduced that these two stone statue guards must have been handed down from ancient times.

On the wall behind the stone guard, a huge stone door is carved.

The height of the stone gate is not much different from that of the stone statue guard, and its width has reached ten meters.

Directly above the stone gate, a basketball-sized colored orb is inlaid.

Orbs are made up of four colors, red, cyan, white, and blue.

The four colors are natural, and the lines are clear, like a four-color opal.

On the stone gate, it is full of strange-shaped inscriptions, which brings people a sense of historical precipitation and vicissitudes.

In addition to these ancient inscriptions, the stone gate is also engraved with the four divine beasts of the soul world.

They are: Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, Green Dragon, and White Tiger.

Suzaku hovers above the stone gate.

The green dragon roared on the left side of the stone gate.

The white tiger roared angrily on the right side of the stone gate.

Xuanwu, lying on his stomach under the stone gate.

The four divine beasts are lifelike and vigorous, making people look at it, and invisibly produce an inexplicable sense of surrender.

This strange stone door is the portal to the soul world.

The soul world, the parallel space of the human world, another world.

On Earth, there are only a few people who know about the existence of the Soul Realm, and this kind of person is a spirit hunter.

At the same time, only the Spirit Hunter can freely enter and exit the human world and the soul world through the soul realm portal.

The Soul Realm, a world that belongs to fighting spirits and evil spirits.

Fighting spirits and evil spirits are two hostile forces, and the old feud between them is incompatible, and they kill each other.

Evil spirits are an extremely violent and ferocious species, and there are five ways for them to advance:

First, devour the same kind that is higher than one's own rank.

Second, devour the fighting spirit.

Third, devour the elixir of the soul realm.

Fourth, devouring the Spirit Hunter.

Fifth, devouring the human soul.

Due to its fourth and fifth ways of advancement, both need to be based on harming humans.

Therefore, in the eyes of the soul hunters, evil spirits are all evil and are the targets of all soul hunters.

As for the fighting spirit, compared to the evil spirit, it is relatively "kind".

Because the fighting soul cannot enter the human world, nor can it devour the soul of humans, there is not much contradiction between the soul hunter and the fighting soul.

However, there are often some small frictions between soul hunters and fighting spirits, and as for the causes of these frictions, most of them are to snatch cultivation resources.

The Soul Realm in the Eyes of the Spirit Hunter...

First of all, the Soul Realm is the best place for Soul Hunters to cultivate, and the Soul Hunter Academy and the Soul Hunter Guild are all in the Soul Realm.

Secondly, the Soul Realm is an extremely cruel world, and the cultivation path of a spirit hunter is to constantly hover between killing and being killed.

After entering the wing, Luo Feng walked into the small box on the left, and Xia walked into the small room on the right, these two small rooms are the men's and women's locker rooms.

Clothes from the human realm cannot pass through the soul portal, so the soul hunter must first change into the clothes of the soul realm before entering the soul portal.

A few minutes later, Luo Feng and Xia Xia each changed their clothes and walked out of the small room.

At this moment, the summer dressing style has directly changed from a fashion goddess to a battle goddess.

The sweater is paired with the latest trench coat, black stockings, and black boots, which gives people a sense of combat effectiveness.

Luo Feng on the other side, a slightly wrinkled white shirt, a pair of blue pants, and a pair of slippers, this outfit, I don't know, I thought he was going to the beach for a vacation.

"You're going to wear this to the Soul Realm?" looked at Luo Feng's resort clothes, and Xia frowned.

"Open the portal of the soul realm, freeze me to death. Luo Feng, who was shivering from the cold, urged to the summer.

"We're going for special training, not for tourism. ”

"I know. ”

"You know you're still dressed like this?!"

"What can I do, I'll just have this outfit. ”

"That's how you used to wear this outfit to report to the Spirit Hunter Academy?!"

"Are you an idiot, can you still wear the clothes you wore five years ago?!"

Luo Feng hadn't entered the soul realm for five years, so he couldn't wear his previous clothes for a long time.

And the shirt and big pants on his body now are his father's clothes, and as for the slippers, he "transformed" them with his mother's high heels.

"Mentally retarded thing, I advise you to be polite to me, otherwise I will definitely make you very uncomfortable when you reach the soul realm. ”

"Eldest sister, let's stop grinding, I'm about to freeze to death. ”

At Luo Feng's urging, Summer came to the stone sword of the stone statue guard.

At the tip of the stone sword, there is a small hole about two centimeters in diameter.

This hole has not been polished by the years, nor has it been picked out by some mischievous child, it is a mechanism, a mechanism that can activate the stone statue guard.

Summer took out two soul beads and threw them into the small holes in the tips of the two stone swords.

Soul Orbs, orbs containing powerful soul power, are the keys to activate the Stone Statue Guard.

Due to the fact that the materials used to make the soul beads are relatively expensive and the production steps are more cumbersome, the price of the soul beads is very expensive, and low-level soul hunters generally cannot afford them.

At the moment when the soul bead was put into the tip of the sword, the soul power in the soul bead was instantly absorbed by the stone sword.

After absorbing the soul power, a little white light appeared on the tip of the stone sword.

At this moment, the white light seems to be accumulating strength, and it begins to slowly become larger, thicker, and more dazzling, when the energy it contains reaches a critical point...

A spark can start a prairie fire.

That bit of white light was like a flame falling on the prairie.

It began to spread along the blade, over the hilt, towards the whole body of the stone guard, and spreading...

In just a few breaths, the two stone statue guards with giant swords in both hands were wrapped in white light.

Under the washing and moisturizing of the white light, the surface of the stone statue guard became bright, sacred and solemn, and even a faint trace of vitality could be felt.

In the next second, the layer of white light that permeated the surface of the stone statue guard's body was instantly sucked into the body of the stone statue guard.

At this moment, the closed eyes of the two stone statue guards slowly opened, revealing white eyes.

The two activated stone guards lifted the huge stone swords in their hands, turned around, and inserted each of the two doorknobs of the portal.

Immediately after, two streams of four-colored energy, along the stone sword, were injected into the portal by the stone guards at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the four-colored energy continued to be injected, the four divine beasts carved on the portal began to swim and roar in the portal as if they had been resurrected.

The Vermilion Bird spread its wings and flew out, and after wandering around the stone gate for a while, a fiery red Vermilion Bird power sprayed towards the four-colored orb on the top of the portal.

The green dragon cruised along the stone wall and came to the side of the orb, and a blue-green green dragon power was injected into the four-colored orb.

The white tiger jumped and climbed onto the stone wall, and a pure white white tiger power poured into the four-colored orb.

Xuanwu lay quietly on the ground, and after a few seconds of accumulation, it slowly raised its head, and a light blue Xuanwu power shot into the four-colored orb.

As the four energies continue to pour in, the four-colored energy in the four-colored orb begins to slowly fuse, agglutinate, and fission...

When the four-color energy in the four-color orb reached saturation, a four-color shock wave suddenly shot out, from top to bottom, in the center of the portal, cutting a crack, dividing the portal into two doors, left and right.

When the portal was cut into two doors, the two stone swords inserted into the doorknob were pulled out by the stone guards.

Immediately after, the portal of the soul realm slowly opened.

Behind the door, an energy vortex mirror condensed by the four colors of red, blue, white, and blue appeared in front of Luo Feng and Summer.

This deep, weird, spectacular, magnificent, and terrifying four-color energy vortex mirror is the portal to the soul world.

At this time, Luo Feng's attention was not attracted by the four-color vortex mirror, he was staring at the Vermilion Bird hovering in the air, in a daze.

Looking at the Vermilion Bird and feeling the fiery red energy released by the Vermilion Bird, Luo Feng sensed a sense of familiarity that he had not seen for a long time.

Luo Feng knew that the root of this sense of familiarity was the thing parasitic in his heart, the time bomb.

"What's the fuss, let's go. ”

"It's coming. ”

At the urging of summer, Luo Feng walked into the soul portal of the soul realm.

"It's been five years... I didn't expect to be back again..."
