Volume 2: Entering the Ghost Banquet by Mistake Section 103: The Battle Formation of the Soldier Seal
"What is the Soldier Seal Battle Array?" Zhang asked puzzled.
"To put it simply, it is the method of using the array seal to resist the ghosts, which was called the Yin Soldiers in ancient times, because its methods are treacherous and ruthless, so it is a means that is not recognized by the exorcists of the soul realm, especially among your soul masters, this method is even more taboo, I advise you not to try to cultivate." Song Yibing suggested.
"With my current level of control over the soul array, it is estimated that I am not qualified to cultivate the Soldier Seal Battle Array in your mouth, but I still want to know where this Soldier Seal Battle Array has arrived, I don't know if Uncle Song can tell me in detail, if I really encounter someone using this method in the future, I can also be prepared." Zhang Wei thought for a moment and responded.
"Well, today I have taught you all the content I have set to teach, there is still some time left, I will explain to you as much as I know about the situation related to this soldier seal battle array, it is a long story, according to the rumors handed down by my grandfather's generation, it was a long ......time ago" Song Yibing sat at his desk in a storytelling posture, and told the things he knew about the soldier seal battle array, and most of the content was told in a paraphrased tone.
Because the content of Song Yibing's narration was a little messy, Zhang Su made a slight summary of the content of Song Yibing's complaint, and generally understood some things about the Bingyin battle array.
The Soldier Seal Battle Array, also known as the Yin Soldier Array, is a special means of controlling the revenant ghosts with a formation, the revenant ghosts here are different from Pu Zitong's artificial drama souls, but the real ghosts of the dead, the number and level of their control are determined by the strength of the exorcist's own soul and the degree of soul gathering of the soul array, once the Yin soldiers appear, not only in the soul realm, but also in the ordinary world, it will also show its body, which is likely to cause great chaos to the order of the world.
The origin of the war array can not be traced, some people say that heaven and earth were born at the beginning, some people say that they were born during the Yellow Emperor period, but there is no exact evidence, only know that it is a means passed down from generation to generation by the exorcists, but few people will use it, about the war array, there are only two records that can be checked and recorded in history, one is in the Three Kingdoms period, the legend Cao Cao has borrowed the Yin soldiers to open the way, and the other is in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the legend is that Emperor Liu Yu of the Song Ming Dynasty usurped the throne and seized power by means of the Yin soldiers, and there is no other record, Moreover, these only two records are also from the biography of Yuye History, the records are vague, and their authenticity is even more difficult to investigate.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the false history rumors are not false in the soul master realm, Cao Cao did borrow the Yin soldiers back then, but the method of borrowing the Yin soldiers was not the exorcist's soldier seal battle array, but the use of an ancient horcrux called the Yin Soldier Order, which was a treasure found in a tomb pit when Cao Cao touched the gold tomb robbery, and studied its use, and then with the help of this Yin Soldier Order, he temporarily controlled a thousand ghost-level Yin soldiers to help him dig the tomb and open the way, while expanding the food and salary, while being unexpected and invincible in the battlefield, However, the Yin Soldier Order has a time limit for use, and it will become invalid if the time limit is exceeded, and the Yin Soldier will no longer accept control.
Cao Cao is not an exorcist, just with the help of an ancient horcrux that does not require soul power to use the Yin soldiers to help, but when it came to the Song Ming Emperor Liu Yu was using the exorcist means, that is, the use of the Soldier Seal Battle Array, when the Song Ming Emperor Liu Yu was still a prince, he accidentally found an exorcist inheritance document, Liu Yu regarded the things in the literature as treasures, secretly cultivated, and finally learned some of the methods of the exorcist, including the complete soldier seal battle array, although Liu Yu was greedy and brutal, but the IQ was outstanding, In a few years without guidance, he mastered the methods of the exorcist and cultivated the battle formation to a very high level, which can be regarded as second to none in the historical records of exorcists.
The turmoil in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the princes of all parties are ready to move, Liu Yu as a high-ranking and powerful among the princes, but also showed the ambition of coveting the throne, he and the commander of the army Liu Chenghai, Li Chengwen formed a dead party, usurped power and killed the emperor Liu Ziye, in the face of the other princes and the commanders of the army have erected the banner of crusade against their own usurpation, when the dominance is in jeopardy, Liu Yu had to use the secret exorcist technique to steal the military seal battle array, a move to the military seal battle array, Three thousand soul armor Yin soldiers were raised in the war grave, and the invulnerable soul armor Yin soldiers rushed into the enemy formation, slaughtered all directions, and pacified the rebel forces from all walks of life with terrifying might, and finally consolidated Liu Yu's dominance.
However, although the Soldier Seal Battle Array is strong, it has great drawbacks, that is, there will be excessive consumption of body vitality and great backlash of spiritual consciousness, Liu Yu relied on his own soul strength to forcibly resist three thousand Yin soldiers, and the spiritual sense backlash appeared early, he was first disordered and delirious, and then became absurd and cruel, he valued treasures, killed ministers, and often told him about the things he could see about the dead souls and ghosts, but others thought he was crazy and stupid, and he didn't take it seriously.
With Liu Yu's spiritual consciousness was extremely reversed, the vitality consumption of the body by the military seal battle array began to become obvious, Liu Yu's body declined before aging, the function of the five internal organs began to decline, and slowly the soul began to be separated from the body, unable to fit, Emperor Liu Yu of the Song Ming Dynasty spent his last days in this way, and died at the age of only thirty-four, according to Song Yibing, as soon as Liu Yu died, his soul was directly transformed by the exorcists who had been waiting around the palace for a long time, so as not to turn his delirious soul into a terrible ghost for the world.
After Liu Yu, the exorcists of the various factions of the soul realm saw the harm of the Soldier Seal Battle Array to the Soul Realm and the world, and accused the exorcist's Soldier Seal Battle Array of being too dangerous, easy to expose the existence of the Soul Realm, easy to lead the user astray, and not in line with the agreement between the exorcists, so the exorcist was required to completely ban this technique and not use it again.
It is said that the Bingyin Battle Array has been passed down for more than 30 generations when it was in the hands of Song Yibing, of course, this is not counted from the Liu Yu period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but according to the Song family genealogical records, the records can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty, so the Bingyin Battle Array should have existed at that time.
After telling the history related to the Bingyin Battle Formation, Song Yibing said that he returned to the formation of the Bingyin Battle Formation.
After defeating the soul, the exorcist can dispel the spirit of the soul, use a special formation seal to enter the soul of the soul, and use the array seal to establish a connection between the soul of the soul and himself, so as to control the souls captured by himself.
However, there are many drawbacks in this control method, the spiritual consciousness of the deceased soul cannot actually be completely eradicated, and after the main spiritual consciousness is dispersed, there will be a lot of free spiritual consciousness flowing in the soul of the deceased soul, such a free spiritual consciousness will erode and infect the spiritual consciousness of the controller, and it will be the phenomenon of spiritual disorder of the controller, once the spiritual consciousness of the controller is disordered, it is very likely that he will lose himself, and he will become crazy and degenerate like Emperor Liu Yu of the Song Ming Dynasty.
In addition, the control of the revenant soul requires a steady stream of soul power to maintain, especially after the formation seal is entered into the body of the captured revenant, most of the soul power required to control the revenant soul comes from the soul power of the controller, and it is okay to control one or two revenants, if you are greedy to control hundreds of revenants, then the supply of soul power will be quite huge, and the five organs in the controller's body need to accelerate the refining of soul dust all the time, and the final result is that the life span of the five internal organs is quickly exhausted, and finally ends up in a premature aging situation. Finally, the whole body ages, fails and dies.
Of course, there are also benefits of the Soldier Seal Battle Array, if the strength of a certain revenant is much stronger than its own strength, if you can use some means to break the Soldier Seal Battle Array into the spiritual consciousness of the revenant soul, and dissolve and clear its spiritual consciousness, then this revenant soul whose strength is stronger than yourself can be used for its own use, which is equivalent to controlling an assistant who is stronger than your own strength.
There is also the fact that the Soldier Seal Battle Array can control a lot of souls at the same time, which is logically not limited by the number, but the final number of its control is related to the soul power of each exorcist, and those who can control more souls can use the crowd tactics to defeat other souls or exorcists who are stronger than themselves, which is very likely to be achieved.
Finally, Song Yibing mentioned one point, that is, the reason why the Bingyin Battle Array is called a battle array is because it can make the revenants controlled by the exorcist combine into a formation, instead of each revenant fighting separately, for example, a hundred garts go up to attack a soul ancestor level soul master without cooperation, and the result is like a group of ants attacking an elephant, and the ghass with weak soul power can only be crushed to death, and it will not play any role at all, but if these hundred garts unite into a formation, act as each other's hands and eyes, and use their own soul skills, their soul power can be transmitted to each other to replenish, then the combat ability will be multiplied, which is why Liu Yu is only able to defeat countless rebels with only three thousand Yin soldiers, but once the Soul Yin soldiers are formed, they will be revealed to the world, and the exposure of the soul realm will be inevitable.
"Uncle Song, you said that this Yin soldier can fight against the human army?" After listening to Song Yibing's introduction, Zhang Su asked puzzledly, he had never seen anything that the soul could directly hurt people.
"Exactly, this is also a special ability of the Soldier Seal Battle Array, it can make the Revenant Yin Soldier appear in the world, and it can make the Revenant Yin Soldier slash and kill the human army, but the human army can't hurt the Revenant Yin Soldier even a little bit, this is also its strange place, as for why, I don't understand, I just know that there is such a thing, just like you use toothpaste soap and don't know how it came about." Song Yibing shook his head and said.
"I really don't know." Zhang Su thought about it, and he thought of the assembly line of a toothpaste factory, but he couldn't imagine how each step of the assembly line worked, so he could only shake his head regretfully and replied.
"That's it, I don't know more about this Soldier Seal Battle Array, I only know that it is very strong, but it is very dangerous, it is dangerous for the user, it is very dangerous for the soul realm, and it is also dangerous for the human world, if I teach it to you, it will inevitably cause unpredictable risks to you." Song Yibing said.
"I'm already a body full of all kinds of secrets, which secret exposure will make me the target of public criticism and make me full of risks, so I don't think it matters if there is one more or less, I still hope that Uncle Song will teach me that Soldier Seal Battle Array, don't hide it from Uncle Song, I may go to that Lei Lin Ghost Banquet in three months, and it will not hurt me to learn one more powerful technique." Zhang Su explained his situation and pleaded.
"Ghost feast? You better think twice, but what you said is not unreasonable, you have an ancient soul hidden in your body, you have the soul of the soul of the soul detaineer, and you have also accepted the inheritance of my exorcist, no matter which one you say will make you the target of the public, but these words will attract the most investigation and questioning, if you once practice the Soldier Seal Battle Array, then you may face the hostility of the entire soul realm, this is different. Song Yibing analyzed the pros and cons for Zhang Su.
"So what, after I learn it, just like Uncle Song, I just need to learn it, this soldier seal battle array is just a life-saving trick at the bottom of the box, I won't let it appear until the time of life and death, don't worry, Uncle Song, I'm mentally prepared." Zhang Su patted his chest and said.
"This ......" Song Yibing didn't know how to refuse Zhang Su for a while, he felt that what Zhang Su said was also reasonable, if people were going to die, it would not be too much to take any move to save their lives, but he was afraid that Zhang Su would accidentally leak this move before encountering danger, and such a situation did not exist.
Zhang Su seemed to see Song Yibing's embarrassment, pondered for a while, and said to Song Yibing with a smile: "That's it, Uncle Song, with my current formation attainment, it is not enough to practice this Soldier Seal Battle Formation, so I don't have much effect if I study it now, wait until I have cultivated all the other formations, and then come back to ask Uncle Song for permission, at that time, if Uncle Song thinks that I can cultivate the Soldier Seal Battle Array, then I will cultivate, if Uncle Song feels that my talent level is not enough to practice the Soldier Seal Battle Array, then I will give up, how about it?" ”
"Yes, this is a good way to compromise, I need to think about it before I can give you an answer, you don't have to think about this Soldier Seal Battle Formation first, when you complete the other exorcism formations, I will tell you the results after my consideration." Song Yibing nodded, and after listening to Zhang Su's suggestion, his brows relaxed slightly.
"Then Uncle Song, it's not too early today, I'll go back first, I will definitely step up my cultivation of the Soul Gathering Array and the Earth Aversion Formation you taught me when I go back, and I will let you see my progress next week." Seeing that Song Yibing agreed, Zhang Su got up from the sofa, said goodbye to Song Yibing, and prepared to leave Song Yibing's home.
"Don't worry, I also have a manual for the various formation seals of the exorcism array here for you to bring back, you are more than eye-catching, it can let you know more about the exorcist's formation seal, and it will be of great help to you in the future." Song Yibing copied an ancient book sewn with hemp rope from the desk, handed it to Zhang Su, and suggested.
Zhang Su took the ancient book, glanced at it slightly, and responded sincerely to Song Yibing: "Thank you, Uncle Song." ”
Just when Zhang Su was about to go out of the door with the ancient book, I don't know where Song Yibing's wife Aunt Song came from, and when she saw that Zhang Su was about to leave, she hurriedly chased her out and shouted at Song Yibing: "Why are you leaving, you old man, why don't you leave other people's children to eat at our house, I bought so many delicious foods, it's time for dinner, hurry up and let people stay, I'll go cook." ”
"Auntie, don't be busy, I'm in a hurry to go back because of something." Zhang Su glanced at Song Yibing's helpless appearance and quickly explained.
"What's the matter?" Aunt Song asked with a suspicious face.
"Oh, that's right, the library people are going to get off work soon, and I'm going to hurry up and get the books back." Zhang was worried about how to answer Aunt Song's question, and suddenly lowered his eyes and saw the ancient book of the Array Seal in his hand, raised it and shook it at Aunt Song, and lied with a forced smile.
"Can you return the book and come back to eat?" Aunt Song still asked unwilling to give up.
"Don't be nosy, you old woman, your little girlfriend is waiting for someone to eat, what are you fooling around, and it's still a while before the meal, what kind of dinner is it." Song Yibing didn't leave Zhang Su to eat, he was afraid that talking at the dinner table would expose the matter of the soul realm, so he tried his best to avoid this kind of thing, and he could only help Zhang Su find a reason to leave.
Zhang Su naturally understood what Song Yibing meant, Aunt Song always thought that she was here to learn the work business in Song Yibing's factory, once they went to the table together, it was inevitable that Aunt Song would not ask about it, and she didn't even know what the factory where Song Yibing worked was doing, and it was easy to show her stuffing when she spoke, so in order to avoid this situation, it was better to go, seeing that Song Yibing had found a reason for herself, Zhang Su naturally understood Song Yibing's intentions.
"Oh, talk about the girl, no wonder, blame me, blame me, you hurry up, don't delay the business, you have time to bring the girl home for a meal." Aunt Song urged with a smile, with a look of joy and a moment of loss.
Zhang Su was embarrassed to say anything, he was indeed lying and shirking it, but when he saw that Aunt Song transferred his love for his son to him, he always felt that his lie was a little unfilial, but in order to avoid revealing the matter between him and Song Yibing, even with this bad mood, Zhang Su could only admit it, turned his head and walked towards the door of Song Yibing's house.
Tick tick, tick tick......
Suddenly, the phone in Zhang Su's pocket rang, Zhang Su took out the phone, and saw that the caller ID was Pu Zitong's number, so he picked it up casually and said softly: "Hey." ”
"Zhang Su, get up and work!" Pu Zitong said.
"What live? You're on the bounty again? Zhang Su didn't know what Pu Zitong meant, and asked confusedly.
"Oh, it's the person who asked you to challenge me here, how about it? My little boyfriend, you're alive. Pu Zitong replied with a smile.
"Looking for me to challenge?" Zhang Su still didn't react, and asked puzzled.
"I'm really going to pretend to be stupid, you're my ...... Boyfriend, of course those challengers who want to participate in the competition to recruit relatives have come to you to test the water first, what's wrong? Don't do anything with money? Pu Zitong snorted coldly.
"Oh, ah! What's the situation? Only then did Zhang Su react, what Pu Zitong said was the deal between him and Pu Zitong.
"As far as I know, Gu Yueming didn't know whose secret arrow she was hit two days ago, and now she is seriously injured and bedridden, your shield is gone, won't people come to you." Pu Zitong said with a smile.
"Gu Yueming is seriously injured?" Zhang Su asked in surprise.
"Well, the Gu Yue family is investigating this matter thoroughly, but Gu Yueming, the person with the first strength of the rookie battle, is in trouble, and you, the second one, are exposed, and the person who originally wanted to challenge Gu Yueming has now turned the spearhead and targeted you, come on, otherwise the two people who came to you will entangle me, and you will come to help me break the siege." Pu Zitong continued to answer.
"Or two?" Zhang Su asked with a wry smile.
"Well, the people of the Xing family of the soul clan, although they are not among the nine major families, they also have a certain prestige in the territory of the soul master, and the two who come are both junior ghost kings, you had better be mentally prepared, otherwise you may not be able to win against these two." Pu Zitong deliberately scared Zhang Zhidao.
"Well, tell me where are you? You try to let the two of them fight first, I can't fight with the last winner, one of the strategies is to let the enemy wear off first. Zhang Su rubbed his head and said.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's the same place where we drank coffee last time, Taiko Cafe, come on." Pu Zitong urged, and hung up the phone after speaking.
"Who? Sounds like a rush. Zhang Su just hung up the phone, and Aunt Song asked with a smile.
"Girlfriend." Zhang Su scratched his head with a wry smile, this time he didn't lie, Pu Zitong was indeed his girlfriend who he claimed to be to the outside world, after explaining, Zhang Su quickly pushed the door and left Song Yibing's house, and rode a car to Taiko Coffee Shop.
