Volume 1: The Siege of the Last Days Chapter 5: The Taboo of Hunting Spirits
The boy wakes up and finds himself in a dilapidated old house. He was wearing a wide robe, although this robe was old, it was obviously a precious spiritual treasure, and it was exuding a trace of spiritual energy fluctuations, making him feel warm like spring.
"I'm not dead yet!?" he tried to wipe his hairy eyes, but found a heart-piercing pain in his chest and forehead!
He found that this was no longer a requiem ground, and that he was in a ruined courtyard.
In the corner, a man sat cross-legged in front of the fire, holding the knife and scroll in his hand, examining it carefully. Although I still don't know the face of that person, look at this slender figure, who is not that person!
"That's right, I'm sure it's him!" the boy tried to calm himself down, observing the environment.
The house was supposed to be huge, with three rooms, but now most of it is in ruins. They were supposed to be the innermost entrance room, which was well preserved, but only two of the four walls remained. These two remnant walls are facing the direction of the wind and snow, and although there is not much left of the roof, it can still block the wind and snow a little.
The wound on his forehead suddenly ached, and everything in front of him took a moment and returned to its original state.
It's just- wait, what's wrong with everything! When will I be able to discover the aura without the help of the Spirit Circle?ββ
The young man was stunned for a while, because he suddenly found that there were faint purple lines on the foundation of the surviving mansion in this courtyard, this is not the legendary spirit array, and what is it!? Looking at its wiring and direction, he remembered that he had seen it in the old record book of the old blind man, this should be the trend of the "Fulu Sancai Array".
This set of spirit arrays, which are quite common in Zixuan, cannot kill, attack and defend, and resist evil, but it can slowly gather the aura of heaven and earth, hide wind and water, and nourish luck.
What made the boy feel even more wrong was the man sitting by the fire!
The young man found that he actually saw the white spiritual light flowing on the person's body, which started from the spiritual sea in the man's head, all the way down, through the Yin Hall, through the people, across the nodes, and connected into interconnected spiritual veins around him.
These eight intersecting spiritual veins finally gathered on the tips of the index and middle fingers of the man's right hand, forming a faintly visible chakra, a small chakra shaped like an abyss.
And this chakra is the sign of a powerful Spirit Knight!!
The boy couldn't believe it, he closed his eyes, only to find that these were still the same!
"Is it my forehead that is aching!?"
He opened his eyes and looked closely, only to find that the man was looking at him with a strange expression. His forehead throbbed, the strange images vanished, and the face in front of him became clear at last. He confirmed that the person in front of him was the one in the Requiem Array.
"You're finally awake!? The man put down the fragment in his hand, rubbed his injured left shoulder, shook his hand, and smiled: "Linyuan Plane Spirit Sealer, Linyuan Absolute Being!"
"What happened to me!?" The young man finally calmed down and asked coldly: "You killed Xunzi Zhanyong in this Xunyang City, and even if you cultivate to the sky, it is impossible to get out of this Xunyang City alive!"
"Murder?" the man smiled wryly, "It would have been nice to kill him then!
"You didn't kill anyone!?" Listening to Lin Yuanjue's question, the young man's heart couldn't help but move.
He tried to recall the details of the Requiem Array, and found that this person did not seem to have any ill will towards him, except for his somewhat strange behavior. Could it be that he really misunderstood him!? But in this lonely city of the last days, who knows how many evils are happening everywhere?
Where did this man come from? The spies of the rebels outside the city!?The deserters?Or the legendary spirit hunters!?What was the fate of the four "Xun" warriors in the Requiem Array?And the little girl......
While he was thinking wildly, the young man looked up and found that Lin Yuan had glanced at him. The four eyes intersected, and the young man felt that the other party's eyes passed by like a fine light, which made his eyes seem to burn, and many distracting thoughts melted for a while.
couldn't help but reply casually: "My name is Han Yexing, and people who are familiar with me call me Xiaoxingzi." It's just, it's just that there are not many people who are familiar with me in this Xunyang City now. β
The young man sighed, and when he saw the wound on the man's shoulder, he couldn't help but apologize again: "Your injury...... It doesn't matter!?"
"My injury, don't worry!" Looking at the young man's messy appearance, Lin Yuan smiled faintly: "As for your injury, I have also given you an elixir." Recuperate tonight, and you should be back to action tomorrow morning. β
"Put this away! you must remember that these two things are very important to you!" As he spoke, Lin Yuanjue placed the broken knife and fragment in his hand beside the young man, and solemnly admonished, "You must cherish them as if you were your own life!!
"However, this broken knife does not belong to me!" Thinking of the girl, the young man couldn't help blurting out, "That girl, is she still alive?"
"Alive!" Lin Yuan glanced desperately at the wound on the young man's head, and a slight sigh appeared on his face: "She should be in a safe place at the moment. β
"It's good that she's still alive!" Han Yexing wanted to reach out and take the broken knife and fragments, but he broke out in a cold sweat: "That's okay, as long as she's alive, I can find a chance to return it to her!"
"What?" Lin Yuanjue looked at the young man's eager appearance, and chuckled unconsciously: "You know that girl!?"
"I don't know. It's just that when I saw that she still had a trace of breath, I wanted to save her-" Han Yexing remembered the process before and after rescuing her during the day, and replied with some regret: "Alas, no matter what, if you encounter it, you can't ignore it!"
"Yesβif you encounter it, you can't ignore itβ" Lin Yuan lost his mind for a moment, sighed faintly, and then continued to ask: "Little brother, I'm curious, how much do you know about this spiritual path!?"
"I don't know very well, but I learned a little about it when I listened to the old blind man sing about those heroic legends. Hearing that the girl was safe, the young man finally let down his guard against Lin Yuanjue, and his words became more: "Oh, that's right! Before the siege of the city, the big boss of the Fishing Dragon Gang on the pier in the north of the city casually praised me, saying that I was a good material for refining spirits. β
Lin Yuan smiled faintly: "So, you don't know anything about this spiritual path!?"
"The farthest place I have only been to Lufeng Mountain in the south of the city, but I am just an orphan who grew up in Xunyang City. Before the rebels besieged the city, I was just a small coolie who made a living on the docks in the north of the city, how could I have the opportunity to become a spiritual cultivator!?" Hao Yan replied softly after a cold night: "These are all areas that only those rich children and wealthy families in the city have the opportunity to step into. β
"That's it, you might as well tell me, what have you heard from them?" Lin Yuanjue sighed lightly and said, "Tell me as much detail as possible, because this may be important to you!"
"Listen to that old blind man, there are eight main planes in our dimensional world, and they float like stars above the void of the Stygian Sea. They are connected by eleven spiritual paths, each with its own unique aura. β
The young man coughed, and seeing that Lin Yuanjue's expression was serious, he couldn't help but continue: "For example, our Purple Xuan's aura is purple, the Burning Lotus Plane is yellow, the Cold Mountain is red, the fallen Apocalypse Plane is cyan, and the Blue Spirit is blue, the Cloud Shadow is orange, the Twilight is green, and the aura of your Linyuan Plane is white. β
"So, you can see these auras?"
"Of course I can see it! You said you were from the Abyss Plane, and you weren't lying...... I can see that the aura on your body is white. At this point, the young man suddenly realized that there was a powerful xenoplane spiritual cultivator sitting in front of him. And he seemed to have said something that he shouldn't have said, so he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and his words stopped.
"You don't have to worry about saying something wrong!" Lin Yuan's absolute young man's words were unimpressed, and continued to encourage him: "Go on." β
"I heard the old blind man say that these auras belong to each other, that they are reiki in one plane, and that they can become deadly poison for spiritual practitioners in another. Therefore, the mutual conversion of these spiritual energas requires the help of spirit refiners. The young man mustered up his courage and continued, "And I have heard that when a spiritual practitioner from another plane enters a different plane, he will be suppressed by the will of the plane. The higher the spiritual attainment, the greater the repression. β
"That friend of yours is right!" Lin Yuanjue smiled slightly, took out a spirit seal shaped like a coin from his arms, put it on Da Mu's finger and flicked it, spun it in the air several times, and landed on the back of his hand: "Although I am from the Alien Plane, I am not your Zixuan's enemy. β
"Purple Xuan Spirit Seal!" Han Yexing saw this customs clearance spirit seal that can only be issued by the imperial court, and completely relieved: "Are you a rescuer sent by the imperial court!?"
"Yes or no, is this important to you?" Lin Yuanjue smiled softly and put away the spirit seal: "I'm more interested in the old blind man in your mouth. β
"Of course, this old blind man is now our general's guest, a very amazing old man. The young man thought of the old blind man's various things, and forgot a lot of unhappiness for a while, and couldn't help but the corners of his mouth fluttered: "He said that there are thousands of planes in this world, but there are only three spiritual cultivation systems: they are the spirit sealers who are strong and sharp, the decisive battle on the battlefield, and the soul sealers with superior combat power; the spirit refiners who set up array tools, heal the sick and calm the soul, and promote the birth of spiritual energy; and there is also a ...... The other is the legendary spiritual forbidden spirit hunter......"
"Looks like you know about this Spirit Hunter too, have you heard of the Spirit Hunter Taboo!?"
"I don't know ......"
"What, you're worried that I'm a spirit hunter?" Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile when he saw the young man's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped: "Don't worry, if I were a spirit hunter, you should already be a dead person at this moment, and you would become an undead spirit under my control." β
"I've watched "Spirit Hunter's Oath" and know the story of Ye Fusha, the king of spirit hunting. The young man's face was full of shame again, and he couldn't help but continue: "I only know that they can control all kinds of fierce spirit races to fight. β
"Are you talking about this fragment?" Lin Yuanjie pointed to the fragment beside Han Yexing, nodded and smiled, "Then do you know what these fierce spirit races are controlled by the spirit hunter!?"
"Yes," said the cold nodding nod, "this book is incomplete, but I know that there are four races of these spirits, they are the undead, the beasts, the trolls, and the spirits. β
"Then do you know that in addition to these four fierce spirit species, another fierce spirit race has recently emerged!?"
"What!?" The young man was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer: "This ......doesn't seem to be in "Spirit Hunter's Oath", and the old blind man hasn't talked about it......"
"Then have you heard of the ghosts on the island of destiny?" Lin Yuan was silent, nodded and said, "That is, the legendary messenger of fate!?"
"Island of Destiny!?" "Cold Nightwalk searched diligently through all kinds of hearsay, as well as his own wild imagination of the spiritual world, "I heard from the brothers of the Dragon Fishing Gang who took the cargo and took the ship that this island of destiny is one of the four illusions above the Stygian Sea. There is a temple of fate on it, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can seek your past and present lives, and the blessings and misfortunes of the future from the mouth of the messenger of fate......"
"But, wait, there's something wrong with that!" The young man was stunned for a moment: "Isn't this ghost a native race unique to the Apocalypse Plane!? I heard that they usually live in the form of souls, and like to live in the spiritual sea of spiritual cultivators, and only by being baptized by natural and pure spiritual energy can they turn into human form." But this Apocalypse Plane had fallen to Ye Fusha five hundred years ago, and it had long since disappeared......"
"Alas......" Lin Yuanjue sighed again, looked at him with a complicated expression, and said, "If I told you that that girl is the legendary ghost, and she is the highest-level messenger of fate on the island of destiny, will you be surprised!?"
"What!!" Han Yexing thought of the changes in his body, and he was shocked: "You mean...... That girl!?"
"That's right!" Lin Yuanjue looked solemn and nodded back: "That girl is a ghost that has turned into a human form! But at this moment, it has changed back into a ghost form, and is sleeping in your spiritual sea......
