Volume 1: Prelude to the Dead Chapter 32: The Way of the Soul

Bidding farewell to Linyuanjue, the cold night line returned to the general's mansion, and it was already night. He walked into the back hall and saw Xunchuan Shizheng leaning over the hall alone, picking up the lamp to look at the military map spread on the ground.

Han Yexing skillfully picked up the medicine jar from the stove that was still boiling with a simmer, filtered out a bowl of elixir, and brought it to Xunchuan Shi: "General, you should drink the medicine! Xiao Xingzi left for only half a day, and you forgot about it again." ”

Xun Chuanshi took the elixir with a smile, drank it all, and then asked softly, "The person sent it away?"

Han Yexing took the lamp in Xunchuan Shi's hand, and illuminated the military map of the Zixuan Northwest Wind Breath Wasteland on the ground for him, and replied a little absentmindedly: "Send it away." ”

Xunchuan Shi was not angry, but said with a smile: "Why, I have seen Lin Shaoxia, and your heart knot still hasn't opened?"

Han Yexing was shocked to realize that he had lost his temper, got up and gave a military salute, and replied: "Originally, I knew that there was no answer. Now that this Xuncheng Great Array has self-destroyed and millions of living beings have been destroyed, all the people in the world are afraid that they will either put this crime on the head of the general or on the spirit hunter. ”

Xunchuan Shi Twist smiled and said, "Then how can you trust the old man so much? You know, I also lied to you." ”

Han Yexing scratched his head: "General, you are different, since you entered this Xunyang City, everything you have done, one by one, has never sought any personal gain for yourself." The dead and the people who are alive in Xunyang City are all in their eyes. Xiao Xingzi doesn't trust you, so there can still be credible people in this world. ”

Xun Chuanshi sighed lightly and replied: "Yes, child, you have to remember what you said today! Not to let you remember what the old man did, but your original intention now." If you don't know how to make a choice in the future, think about what you said today. ”

Han Yexing nodded: "Xiao Xingzi wrote it down." ”

Xunchuan Shi Twist said with a smile: "It's good to write it down, then you don't hold the lamp carefully?"

Han Yexing's face turned red, and he quickly took the medicine bowl that was already empty, picked up the spirit lamp, and let Xunchuan Shi carefully look at the detailed map of the landform on the map, as well as the direction of the spiritual veins of the large array of the plane marked therein.

This northwesterly wind-breathed wasteland is vast and sparsely populated, with the Gobi and oases crisscrossing and surrounded by basins and mountains. In the middle, a Linxiao Mountain Range divides the entire wasteland into two parts, the north and south, and the fourth largest male city in the Zixuan plane, the Wind Breath Fort, stands at the junction of this mountain range and the plain.

Originally, there was a Stygian Sea Spirit Road leading to the Cold Mountain Plane outside this Wind Breath Castle, so it was set up and called the Remnant Mountain Spirit Pass. However, since this Zixuan Kiss became the King of the Purple Xuanling Spirit, the Remnant Mountain Spirit Pass and the Faint Flower Spirit Pass outside the Faint Flower City in the southern part of Zixuan were closed together, leaving only the Xingtian Spirit Pass outside the Eastern Xingtian City to communicate with the outside world.

It was a prosperous and prosperous place with many ethnic groups that was originally prosperous in Shangfu and quickly declined, and became a bitter cold place where news was closed and no one cared about.

From the Wind's Breath Fort all the way to the north, there are also towns and villages with abundant water and grass and abundant aura. And if you go south, the land is barren and full of fierce beasts. In particular, there is a thousand-mile-long Tucker Desert inhabited by it, which has always been a Jedi that is inaccessible to living beings. This rebellion of the Yuanmo Alliance began in the southern frontier of this windy wasteland.

And Xunchuan Shi's eyes have been staring closely at this southern frontier, as if he is looking for something.

Seeing Xunchuan Shi pausing from time to time, he stopped and lowered his head in contemplation, and couldn't help asking, "Is the general looking for a possible hiding place for the remnants of the Yuanmo Alliance?"

Xunchuan Shi nodded and smiled: "It seems that after the battle of Xunyang City, you have grown a lot, and you actually know how to consider the military strategy." ”

Han Yexing's face turned red, and Hao Ran replied: "The general has made fun of it, these days I see that the general is worried, staring at the map study of this windy wasteland all day long. Xiao Xingzi just felt that the general was worried, so he naturally revealed it. ”

Xunchuan Shi smiled and asked, "Oh? Tell me, what am I worried about?"

Han Yexing nodded and said, "I think that after the main force of the rebel army of the Yuanmo Alliance was defeated by the army of the Wind Breath Spirit Marquis Zeng Greenqin, it was broken into pieces and scattered in this vast Wind Breath Wasteland. For several years, it has been inexhaustible, and the spring breeze is born again, and I want to fight it but I can't find it.

The war was protracted and dragged on for a long time, which caused the anger of the imperial court, and removed the Beast Greenqin from his position as the Linghou, imprisoned him, and let the general send troops to encircle and suppress the situation. So I'm thinking that the general should be trying to figure out how to find the main force of the rebels of the Yuanmo Alliance and encircle and annihilate one of them. ”

Xun Chuanshi nodded in approval, and asked with a smile: "Then what do you think is the way to find out the main force of this rebel army?"

Han Yexing's face turned red, and he said with a smile: "Xiao Xingzi knows what military strategy, but what I think is: if you are a person, you need to eat, if you are a spiritual cultivator, you need spirit stones and supplies, and if you are an army, you need the support of spiritual veins." ”

Xunchuan Shi sighed lightly: "What you said went to the root, but my Zixuan Wei Face Great Array has been in chaos since the Yi Shi Dingding and the dredging in many ways, after more than 500 years of baptism, the blockage of the blockage, and the interception of the interception of the resident insects, I am afraid that it has already been chaotic." ”

"Like this Purple Xuan Plane Great Array Diagram, it's a question of how much I can still believe it now. In addition, the self-destruction of our Xunyang Protective Array will inevitably affect the whole body, but I am afraid that the spiritual veins in this northwest place will be even more disordered. ”

"Alas, this time to send troops, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult. ”

Han Yexing was silent for a while, he didn't expect that the self-destruction of this Xunyang Great Array would cause such serious consequences, and he raised his head and said to Xunchuan Shi: "I don't know when the general plans to send troops, Xiao Xingzi is willing to be the forerunner, open the way for the general, explore the spiritual veins first, and find the remnants of the main force of the Yuanmo Alliance." ”

Xunchuan Shi smiled and replied: "Don't worry, when the new Linghou of Xunyang arrives, all the handover is clear, and we will not be too late to set off." ”

Han Yexing looked indignant and asked: "The imperial court and the Spirit King treat the general like this, don't the general mind at all? I heard rumors from the brothers in the army that this is a poisonous plan carried out by the imperial court against our Xunzi battalion to suppress and replace consumption, and wants to ...... the general and all of us."

Xun Chuanshi shouted loudly, interrupting the cold night walk: "Xiao Xingzi!"

He was stunned when he saw the cold night, and then let out a long sigh and comforted: "There are some things that you can put your beak in now, and besides, if you want to solve these problems, you have to take your time...... It's already night, these days you are serving by the side, and at the same time practicing the way of spiritual cultivation, helping to restore order in Xunyang City, and it is also hard work, go to bed early. The old man wants to be alone. ”

I still want to say it again in the cold night, but when I saw the tall and tired figure of Xunchuan Shi, my nose was sore, I put on a robe for him, gave a military salute, and slowly withdrew from the back hall.

When he returned to the barracks, he fell asleep on the bed in the cold night.

During these months, there was hardly a good rest for the cold night walk.

He did his best to serve Xunchuan Shi, who was seriously injured and difficult to recover, and at the same time, he followed his military orders to relieve the victims who were reborn after the catastrophe in the city, helping to restore and appease the already unstable military spirit of the Xunzi battalion, and squeezing out all the spare time to consult with the spirit alchemists who accompanied the army for the way of spirit refining......

The cold night line worked so hard, one was that he didn't want to disappoint Xun Chuanshi, and the other was that he also wanted to let himself have no extra time to think.

These days, there are so many mysteries that he can't solve or figure out.

The broken knife in his hand, the origin of Feng Xiluo, General Chuanshi's secret cultivation of himself, the death of the old blind man, the whereabouts of Shuofeng Lingzun, the self-destruction of the Xunyang City Great Array, and those spirit hunters who had a flash of inspiration......

This pile of piles, one by one, entangled his soul like a mess, making him unable to relieve himself, and often fell into nightmares.

What terrified him even more was the soul-leaving weapon that Lin Yuan had given him. He held it that day, watching the battle of the Purple Lotus Hades like a god and demon, he saw an opportunity, pressed the machine spring, and instantly changed the tide of the battle.

He felt the power, which was enough to change the lives of others, and even change the general trend of the world and change everything. Although it is fake, it is through this spring. But at that moment, he really felt it.

And then he was scared.

I don't know why I'm afraid of this power. When he found out that he could kill the Purple Lotus Hades with a single blow, he could kill General Kawashi, and even kill anyone, he really felt fear.

He didn't know if he was going to kill them, he didn't know why he was fighting, and he didn't know what everyone was fighting. For such a battle, he even sacrificed millions of living beings in Xunyang City......

Such a weak self makes Han Yexing feel scared. Sometimes, from the bottom of his heart, he even rejects such power, refuses to know the truth behind the things that haunt his soul.

Just like General Chuanshi, although he bears the name of the nine sons of Weiyang, he is the teacher of Zixuan Qilin'er Zixuan Weiyang today, dragging the old and sick body, scattering all the family wealth, and almost single-handedly saving Xunyang City from the ground, independently supporting half of the Zixuan country, but in the end it is such a result.

This expedition to the Wasteland is said to be relied on by the imperial court, but in fact it is equivalent to exile. Most of the Xunzi battalion were Xunyang's children, and when they heard that they were going to leave their hometown for the Northwest Wasteland, which was thousands of miles away, they all blew up. If it weren't for General Chuanshi's efforts to appease and suppress, this Xunzi battalion that he had painstakingly managed would have been unstable and would have collapsed in Xunyang City for the rest of his life.

General Chuanshi is as magnanimous as ever, treating everyone with sincerity, and still has that compassionate heart. However, if he was in that position, what would he choose?

What could he choose?

But he hates his weakness, hates his weakness, hates being fiddled with like this, always becomes a pawn in the hands of others, and can only watch the things he cherishes and value get hurt but can do nothing.

He must find a way to change and make himself strong as soon as possible!

In this way, he seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, and his soul drifted for a while, and he came to his spiritual sea again. Nothing has changed, it is still the sea, and it is still the black waves mixed with colorful auroras.

Since the last time he awakened his soul and met this sunset for the first time, it was the first time he had returned here with his soul true body.

Although the two of them were now able to use soul fluctuations to talk, they had also copied the two sketches that deceived Shuofeng Lingzun, and later established a strong soul sense when interrogating Shuofeng Lingzun, and they worked closely together. But both of them coincidentally maintained a cautious attitude towards this spiritual sea, and even at the most critical moment of the cold night walk, they did not dare to touch a single penny.

Now is the time to try to solve this problem. These days, he has been practicing the way of spirit refining, trying to break through the boundaries between the four ways of spirit refining, and he is also preparing to solve this.

In fact, Cold Night Walking had already tried to use telekinesis to slowly fuse the colorful auroras in this spiritual sea into pure aura, but all of this was still only in the experimental stage, and it was only secretly carried out in that fragment.

These experiments have also made continuous progress, and he has succeeded in transforming the three different characteristics of the red, purple, and green aura into pure purple, and he has also transformed the yellow, white, and blue colors into pure blue, but the purple and blue colors cannot be reconciled no matter how hard he tries. Once these two meet, it will not produce a burst phenomenon, but an annihilation phenomenon.

However, this kind of experimental experiment was ultimately ineffective, so he thought of using the spirit array to improve the efficiency of this transformation, and using the spirit weapon to expand and stabilize the spirit array.

Later, he thought of solving this problem from the requiem, using the unique decay properties of the aura to dissolve and eliminate the black qi in the spiritual sea, but these black aura were actually more stubborn and more powerful than these other colored aura, no matter what he tried, he was always immovable, so he had no choice.

And the result of these continuous exercises and experiments is the wine gourd that he accidentally created that is not round or flat, and the shape is quite ugly.

But now he doesn't want to think about it anymore!

With the beginning of his mental power, waves suddenly set off in this spiritual sea, and the three aurora lights of red, purple, and green suddenly brightened, like three giant dragons out of the water, gushing out of the water, hovering above the spiritual sea.

The cold night walking mind returned, and the three dragons began to swell. With the continuous expansion of the aura, the red, purple, and green auras also began to turn from thick to thin, and the color gradually faded.

After several changes and cycles, these auras have become extremely vast and subtle. If you look closely, you will find that those auras are like tiny and floating particles, which are constantly splitting and decomposing. until it turned into a layer of mist above the spiritual sea.

Until these aura particles were insolvable, Han Yexing shouted violently: "He-"

This extremely vast layer of spiritual mist suddenly contracted and converged. With a roar like thunder, countless lightning flashed in this spiritual mist, and a colorful purple rain suddenly came, fluttering on this spiritual sea.

As soon as this spiritual rain and the blue aurora in the spiritual sea met, it exploded into bursts of water, and then annihilated into wisps of light smoke, disappearing into invisible.

Han Yexing wanted to rejuvenate his mental power again and mobilize the aura in this spiritual sea, but was suddenly interrupted by a loud noise: "You stupid!

Feng Xiluo, who had been sleeping on the spiritual platform, was awakened by this sudden lightning and thunder, and when he saw the vision above the spiritual sea from the windowsill, he was stunned for a while, and quickly pulled his heartstrings, interrupting the telekinesis of the cold night walk: "Are you trying to kill us!?"

The spiritual rain slowly became smaller, the thin purple mist was still slowly dissipating, and the surging spiritual sea finally slowly calmed down in the direction of recovery.

Feng Xiluo patted his chest in shock, and said to Han Yexing: "I said nerd, how much stimulation you have! If there are any problems that we can discuss and solve, why bother with ourselves!? Your Linghai inlay is not something that can be successful overnight, we have to take our time." ”

Han Yexing put away his mental power dejectedly, and replied to Feng Xiluo: "Brother Lin said to take his time, the general said to take his time, and now even you say to take his time." How long are we going to wait? Can we only let those conspirators who are vying for power and profit stir up trouble, let those spirit hunters continue to make trouble in secret, and let the millions of living beings in Xunyang City die so unexplained!?"

"Here...... Over here...... But it's my home!"

Feng Xiluo looked at the cold night walk that wanted to cry without tears, and sighed softly and comforted: "Idiot, I know your suffering, but in this world, the eight main planes, countless living beings, who is not bitter?"

"That's right, your home is ruined, but this Xunyang City still exists after all! I haven't been around for more than ten years, as long as the spiritual veins are renewed here, and the best things are done, this Xunyang City will soon be prosperous again, and the living beings will flourish. ”

"But if you think about me, you Xunyang City still have a hope, but not only was my ghost clan robbed, but even the entire Apocalypse Plane was destroyed by Ye Fusha, and completely disappeared into the vast Stygian Sea. My people were forced to wander around, to be sent to the hedge, either as playthings, or to fall into the spirit hunters, to be chased and killed. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that our island master fought for this island of destiny with all his life and obtained a place in this cone, I am afraid that our Phantom Clan would have disappeared into the vast Stygian Sea. ”

Seeing Feng Xiluo's gloomy expression, Han Yexing hurriedly replied in frustration: "I'm sorry for arousing your sadness." ”

Feng Xiluo sighed lightly: "This matter has nothing to do with you, and I can't complain about you." ”

The two were silent for a long time.

Only then did he speak: "Hey, nerd, I can hear his words when you bid farewell to the abyss during the day. Don't you think he makes sense?"

Han Yexing came back to his senses and said, "He said a lot of things, and they all make sense...... You mean, the way of sealing the spirit?"

Feng Xiluo nodded and replied: "That's right, he said that this soul separation weapon reminded me of some of the process of our ghost clan recognizing the Lord and redeeming their bodies. Have you ever thought that the most sensitive and powerful spirit soldier in the world is actually our body!"

Cold Night Walking Realized: "You mean ......"

Feng Xiluo nodded and continued: "You guessed right, since you were accidentally injured on your forehead, you can get this spiritual eye. As long as we cooperate properly, we should have the opportunity to create a spiritual vein system using spiritual weapons on your body!"

Han Yexing raised his head and said: "Spirit weapons are easy to do, for example, our Xunzi Battle Armor is designed by Nashuo Feng Lingzun, which already has a blessing function for the spirit sealing warriors. But the aura in our spiritual sea can't be used, what should we do with this aura?"

Feng Xiluo chuckled and replied, "Originally, I saw that you were quite smart today, but I didn't expect to become a fool again so soon......!

Han Yexing's eyes lit up, and he touched his head embarrassedly: "I forgot about it!"

Feng Xiluo smiled and said, "That's it, aren't you a genius in spirit refining, since you can seal the four ways of spirit refining that were originally mutually exclusive in one furnace." We can place a formation to store spiritual weapons in this fragment as a spiritual sea, and I will activate the five strings of the spirit sealing to dispatch it. Then open up the connection between this fragment and the spiritual vein system attached to the body, and naturally you can simulate the method of this spirit seal. Besides, even if this is not as good as the real spirit sealer, we already have the same mind, and if we practice more at that time, this spirit sealing path may not be impossible!"

Han Yexing pondered for a long time, nodded and said, "I think this solution is feasible!"
