Volume 1: Overture to the Dead Chapter 31: Parting Words
As Zixuan Weiyang said, she only stayed in Xunyang City for three days before leaving.
That assassination that was enough to shake the world has spread all over Zixuan, the Purple Lotus rebels were defeated in Xunyang City first, and then lost the first leader in the military, the Purple Lotus Hades King, and the vitality was greatly damaged, and the bloody rebellion that swept Zixuan nearly half of the plane can be expected to be pacified.
After several months of repairs, Xunziying is slowly on the right track again, and this Xunyang City has slowly regained a trace of popularity. However, if you want to restore the prosperity and wealth of the first male city in the north in the past, I am afraid that there will be no decades, so you don't need to think about it.
The weather is getting hotter.
The injuries suffered by Han Yexing in that battle have almost recovered, and the matter of Xunyang City is over, and he is about to return to Xingtian City to go to Zixuan Weiyang's appointment to complete the last work of this trip. This time, his identity as a friend of Princess Weiyang was exposed, although he was only a spiritual cultivator from another plane, his reputation in the Zixuan spiritual cultivation world was a few points higher.
Outside the city wall, Lin Yuanjue, who was leading the horse, looked at the young man whose face gradually became plump, and couldn't help but smile: "You haven't come to me since that day, I thought you wouldn't come to see me off." Xiao Xingzi, I heard that the general said that you have officially become a personal soldier?"
The young man had grown a lot taller in just a few months, but he was still nearly half a head behind the abyssal Xinchang, and he nodded when he heard the words: "A month ago, I officially took up my post at the general's side. However, I heard that the new Xunyang Linghou will be in office soon, and our Xunzi battalion is about to open and leave Xunyang City. ”
Lin Yuan said: "Where to go?"
Han Yexing bowed his head: "Go to the Northwest Wasteland to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Yuanmo Alliance." ”
Lin Yuanjue sighed and said, "Alas, since the closure of the Remnant Mountain Spirit Pass, this Northwest of Zixuan has become a bitter cold place that no one has heard of. Your Zixuan Imperial Court is not rewarded for your merits, but you are punished for not being guilty. actually let the old general, who was old and sick, fall to death again, and he didn't even give time to recuperate. Alas, what a pity for General Kawaishi. ”
Han Yexing was silent for a long time, shook his head and replied: "The holy decree of the imperial court has arrived a month ago, I heard that this is the will of the current Spirit King Zixuan Kiss, she said that this is to make the general and the Xunzi battalion generals confess their crimes, and the sins of supporting the army and self-respecting and privately creating spiritual seals in the past have been eliminated together." Zixuan Weiyang wrote that she had tried her best to fight in front of the Spirit King, and wanted the general to return to Weiyang City to recuperate from her injuries, but unfortunately she was unsuccessful. Alas, the general didn't care about this, and he looked very happy. ”
Lin Yuan was absolutely silent, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Xiao Xingzi, in fact, with your qualifications, there should be a better way to go, have you ever thought of leaving this place of direct affairs, leaving Zixuan, and going outside the Stygian Sea to have a while?"
Han Yexing shook his head: "Actually, Princess Weiyang also told me about this on the day of the assassin, and she said that I should go to the Weiyang Legion to be a spiritual refiner with the army. I didn't say yes. ”
Lin Yuanjue's eyes lit up and said, "This is not a good thing, why did you refuse?"
Hanye raised his head and said, "General Chuanshi is kind to me. ”
Lin Yuanjue sighed lightly and said, "Alas, General Xun is indeed well-intentioned to the little brother! If it weren't for the Netherworld Ghost Envoy who broke all this at the celebration banquet that day, we wouldn't have thought that the general would have done so much for you." ”
Han Yexing's face was slightly red and said, "After that assassination, the general and I had a detailed conversation. I realized that my encounter with the old blind man was actually arranged by him. And not only that, even when I was an orphan who ate hundreds of meals in Xunyang and struggled to survive in humiliation, he had been secretly watching me. If it weren't for the general, I would have died many times ago. ”
Lin Yuanjue was silent for a long time, and sighed softly: "Yes, General Chuanshi is far-sighted and kind to us. It's good that you're willing to follow the general, but you avoided me during the time I was recuperating from my injuries, so there should be some kind of knot. I'm glad you came to see me off this time. If there's anything you want to ask, just ask, and I'll tell you the truth. ”
Han Yexing pondered for a long time before asking, "You and Princess Weiyang, what's going on?"
Lin Yuan Jue nodded and said, "This matter is a long story, I was originally a member of the Blazing Word Legion of the Lin Yuan Plane to resist the Blue Spirit Colony. After we were defeated and retreated to the Ninth Layer Abyss, we were issued a joint order by the entire Linyuan and the Blue Spirit Plane. In order to drag down my comrades-in-arms, I fled to your Zixuan with the help of the Falling Moon Merchant Group, and met Princess Weiyang in Xingtian City, but I didn't expect to receive her courtesy as a brother. ”
"Three months ago, in a drunken conversation, she told me about the battle between Xunchuan Stone and the siege of Xunyang. General Chuanshi was Princess Weiyang's teacher when she was a child, and he had a great influence on her and had a deep affection. But she was limited to military affairs and status, so she couldn't go, so she asked me to come to Xunyang City for a visit. As a friend, it's my duty to do it. ”
Han Yexing wondered: "What about the Netherworld Ghost Envoy, if he is a person from the Netherworld Temple, how did he become the Purple Lotus Hades King of our Purple Lotus Rebels? And you seem to have known about his plans in Xunyang City for a long time." ”
"Alas, in fact, Princess Weiyang has been paying attention to this Purple Lotus Sect rebellion, and she has long suspected that there is a shadow of alien plane infiltration behind this Purple Lotus Sect rebellion. We have been secretly tracking, and later, with the help of the Meteorite Moon Merchant Group, we finally found the clues in it. ”
"But I didn't expect this ghost envoy to be so weird and so bold. In order to assassinate Princess Weiyang, he did not hesitate to hide his cultivation and set up such an ingenious killing game. Now that I think about it, that Shuofeng Lingzun should have been bewitched by him a long time ago. This time, he plotted to assassinate Princess Weiyang, and he almost succeeded, if it weren't for you. ”
Han Yexing's face turned red, and he said, "It's not me, it's you and Princess Weiyang, General Chuanshi, and the real 'Soul Leaving Weapon'." You were suspicious of this, which is why you arranged for me to stand in the hall and gave me the real Soul Separation Weapon?"
Lin Yuanjue nodded: "Anyway, everything is just luck." Actually, you don't want to ask this, do you? I am a brother, and you don't have to hesitate if you have anything to ask. ”
Han Yexing was silent for a moment, as if he had finally made up his mind: "Okay, I'll ask." That 'Soul Leaving Weapon' has actually been on you all along?"
Lin Yuanjue nodded: "I am the protector of the Dharma, and after they made that weapon, they have already handed it over to me. ”
"So, you actually knew from the beginning that the blueprint was not the blueprint of a peerless weapon?"
Lin Yuanjue was silent for a long time: "Yes." You're really suspicious of it. ”
The voice of the cold night walk hesitated: "I'm stupid." But these days, I have been asking the spirit refiners in the city for advice on this way of refining spirit weapons, recalling the situation at that time over and over again, and carefully pondering the two drawings that you and Jin Shura gave me. I suddenly, suddenly had an idea that I didn't know ......"
Lin Yuan said: "Do you suspect that the blueprint is not the weapon design of the Soul Separation Weapon, but actually the blueprint of the device that destroyed the Xunyang City Protector Array?"
The cold night walk was silent.
Lin Yuanjue nodded and said, "Actually, I also have your suspicions. For the sake of a few drawings, he actually invited young talents from the four illusions of the Stygian Sea to come to Xunyang City together, which is strange in itself. If this is the blueprint of the self-destruct device that destroyed the Xunyang City Protector Array, then everything can be explained. ”
"I don't think this move should be a plan of the Falling Moon Merchant Group, although I have not been the protector of the Falling Moon Merchant Group for a long time, but with my understanding of them, although they are thinking about returning to Twilight and restoring the Holy City of Astrology, their fundamental purpose is still to seek wealth. And this formation is really not what they are good at. ”
"Destroying the Xunyang City Protector Array, the Moon Shadow Great River backs up, causing the Zixuan Plane Great Array to fall into complete disorder, gradually slowing down and weakening, which is not in line with their foundation, you must know that the biggest foundation for doing business is the prosperity of the entire plane world. ”
"Moreover, millions of living beings have been devastated, and the Great Plane Array has fallen into disorder, completely offending the main plane as powerful as Zi Xuan. With such a big responsibility, this Meteorite Moon Merchant Group naturally doesn't want to bear it, and I'm afraid it can't afford it. They rolled me up just to blame the Fallen Moon Merchant Group. ”
Han Yexing nodded: "Then who did this?" They even calculated the existence of such a nobody as me, so they sent this drawing to Shuofeng Lingzun in advance, so that the information that Xiluo and I took from his brain would be the information they wanted to give. ”
Lin Yuanjue nodded: "I'm also quite puzzled by this, I haven't thought about it these days, but I don't have an answer." But I think this matter is only the work of the spirit hunting organization that has been hiding in the dark, and this person who has been in chaos in the world has always been what they want to see. ”
Han Yexing raised his head and asked: "Since everyone thinks that this spirit hunting organization is doing, but now that the Xunyang war is over, why don't you go to find out?" The whereabouts of Shuofeng Lingzun are still unknown, I once asked Xiluo, she said that as long as she is willing to spend time, energy and financial resources, with the power of the Zixuan plane, it is not impossible to track down this spirit hunting organization!"
Lin Yuanjue sighed: "Alas, some things are not as simple as the little brother thinks, but I am afraid that people like you and me can control them." ”
Han Yexing sneered: "Yes, they are only busy fighting for power and profit, and they will grab it if they have merit, and they will be guilty if they have it." After all, no one cares about the life or death of ordinary beings like us, and in their eyes, the millions of lives in Xunyang are just sacrifices that can be put on the tribute table at any time. ”
Lin Yuanjue sighed lightly: "Alas, it is not impossible to say that if you want to fundamentally solve the ravages of this spirit hunter. It's just that this matter has to be done slowly, and it needs to be done slowly. ”
Han Yexing looked up and said, "What do you say?"
Lin Yuan's eyes showed a gleam, and he paused: "If we want to completely cure the problem of this spirit hunter, we need to be politically prosperous in the world, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. If most people in this world live in hope, who would want to make a contract with the demon god and fall into a road of no return with no end in sight. ”
"I think that since the spirit hunter was defeated by the coalition forces of our plane five hundred years ago, and the legendary spirit hunter Ye Fusha fell, he has been inexhaustible and inexhaustible in the past five hundred years. In the end, there are too many desperate things in this world, and there are too many places where darkness exists. ”
The cold night line was stunned for a while: "The politics are prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment......"
Lin Yuan's face became heavy when he saw Han Yexing, breaking the oppressive atmosphere, and changed back to a smiling face: "Don't talk about these unhappy people, let's talk about your cultivation." Judging by your appearance, you should have grown a lot in the past few months with the spirit refining!"
Han Yexing came back to his senses, and after a while, he took out a wine gourd with a crooked shape from his arms and threw it to Lin Yuanjue: "This is a parting gift from Xiao Xingzi to Brother Lin." “
Lin Yuanjue took the wine gourd and put it in his hand to look at it for a while.
He saw that the color of this little gourd was mottled, purple and red, and there were faint three spiritual lights of red, purple and green. Although the shape of the artifact is not perfect, it is clear at a glance that it is not a natural thing, but is made of high-grade spirit stones.
The wonderful thing is that there is a small formation embedded in the pot, and the formation contains spiritual wine. Judging by the scale of its storage, there are more than ten buckets, which is several times larger than the capacity of the largest wine vat that Lin Yuan Jue has ever seen in Xunyang City.
Lin Yuan's eyes couldn't help but light up: "You did it?"
Han Yexing's face turned red, and he replied: "It was completed under the guidance of several spirit refiners in the city, this is the first spiritual weapon refined in my life, it can be regarded as a little bit of Xiao Xingzi's heart, and I hope that Brother Lin will not dislike it." ”
Lin Yuan's mouth opened wide, rubbing the little gourd and said, "How dare I dislike it! Xiao Xingzi, you are really a genius of spirit refining! I didn't expect that a small gourd actually fused the four ways of refining the soul and making the array in one furnace, even the masters of the Falling Moon Merchant Group didn't dare to say that they could make this little gourd!"
Seeing that Lin Yuan definitely liked it, Han Yexing let out a sigh of relief and said: "It's good that Brother Lin likes it, this little gourd really took a lot of Xiao Xing's brains." This aura has four major properties, namely clutching, fusion, radiation, and decay, and the four realms of spiritual refining are based on these properties of aura. ”
"Among them, the way of refining the spirit is clutch, the way of making the instrument is fusion, the way of making the instrument is taking its radiation, and the requiem is taking its decay. But when these four qualities of Reiki are combined, they contradict each other, and even exclude each other. I thought of countless ways to pinch them together, but fortunately it was completed before Big Brother Lin left Xunyang. ”
"This red, purple, and green color is because I fused the spirit stones of the three planes of Cold Mountain, Zixuan and Burning Lotus, and I originally wanted to fuse the spirit stones of the eldest brother's Linyuan plane, but unfortunately it didn't work out because of time. The aura of each of these faces is mutually reinforcing, but there should be a common foundation. I heard that some of the Spirit Venerables in the Spirit Refining Ancestral Court have been able to refine the spirit stones that are common to the five main planes, and this three-color integration is already my limit, and I can't do it. ”
"As for the small formation I found in the drawings left by the old blind man, the old blind man did not mark his name, but he likes to drink, this small formation can brew ordinary wine into a more mellow taste of spiritual wine, there is no practical value, but it can be regarded as a souvenir left by Xiao Xing to the eldest brother. ”
Lin Yuanjue opened the lid of the gourd, took a sip, and said with a happy smile: "Good wine! Big brother is about to leave, and there is nothing to give you, so I will give you this trick of the spirit way!"
Han Yexing asked with a question: "The way to seal the spirit?"
Lin Yuanjue nodded and said, "Do you remember what I said to you in the city on the day the Great Array self-destructed?"
Han Yexing recalled: "I remember that day because of this disaster, the words did not continue. However, as you understand my situation, there are some problems with my spiritual sea, and the soul cannot leave the spiritual platform and seal into the spiritual sea, so there is no way to talk about opening up the spiritual veins and forming the chakras. ”
Lin Yuanjue shook his head and smiled, "Do you remember the Soul Separation Artifact I gave you? I think the key to solving this dilemma should be on it." ”
Han Yexing took out the soul-leaving weapon like a crossbow from his bosom and handed it to Lin Yuanjue, and asked suspiciously, "How do you say this?"
Lin Yuanjue continued to leave the soul artifact, nodded and said, "I'm afraid it's more appropriate to ask yourself about this matter." At that time, I heard from the Falling Moon Merchant Group about the manufacture of this soul-leaving weapon, the so-called spirit soldier, which is just a simulation of the principle of our spirit sealing technique, and implanting a spirit vein system similar to ours on our spirit sealer in this spirit soldier, once there is a spiritual energy input into it, it can multiply the attack power and attack. ”
"I want to open the heartstrings from awakening the soul, sealing it in the spiritual sea, and then opening up the spiritual veins and forming chakras. The more this spiritual vein is opened, the more complete the system is, the more likely and powerful it is to form a chakra. The so-called five strings and eight veins, and the six spiritual sealing exercises, are just different ways of forming spiritual veins. ”
"The 'Soul Leaving Weapon' created by the Shuofeng Spirit Venerable himself should be a 'Soul Leaving Vessel' with six veins, and this handle in your hand is an artifact with all eight veins. However, with the manpower and resources of the Falling Moon Merchant Group, this soul artifact has only come so far. Because if you want to create a true soul-leaving device, you need to simulate the soul and open the five strings of the soul, but you know that this soul-creating is the realm of the gods. ”
"But your situation is all different. Yu Lianling, you have eleven thoughts in the sky, although you have only just set foot at the moment. But looking at this little gourd, I think it's only a matter of time before you create this eight-veined spiritual artifact one day. Moreover, the ghost who has recognized you as the main has a different talent, and it is the only one-of-a-kind number among our soul sealers. ”
"Although you are currently trapped by the spiritual sea, you are temporarily unable to seal the spiritual strings and open up the spiritual veins on your body. But if you get the help of this sunset, and you borrow the way of making weapons to simulate this process, the path of sealing the spirit is not without a chance for you. ”
"As for whether this soul-leaving weapon is a soulless thing, it has already been used once, and it is an ordinary spirit soldier. You can just leave it for a good look as a souvenir, maybe it will help you find a breakthrough as soon as possible!"
As he spoke, Lin Yuan turned over and got on his horse, arched his hands, and said goodbye to the rivers and lakes: "There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and the biggest gain of my trip to Xunyang City is to meet you, a little brother." The rivers and lakes are far away, let's see you next time. ”
After that, ride away.
