Chapter 6: Soul Sealing
At this time, the "Shang Ruler" no longer had the dazzling red light just now. Li Zhan put away the "business ruler" and sat back on the sofa.
Li Suxian hurriedly sat next to his grandfather and asked: What is grandpa's "spirit seal".
"Maybe that's your fate! Xian'er, grandpa will tell you everything he knows now, the road ahead is extremely difficult, you must be strong to go on. Li Zhan sighed deeply. Then he took a sip of tea, cleared his throat and continued to preach:
There is an ancient secret art called soul magic. It was created by the ancient god of war. This secret art is divided into spiritual art and soul art, and soul art is the most difficult to practice, and according to legend, those who have achieved soul art can borrow corpses to return their souls, and even immortality. But for thousands of years, no one has achieved great success, thousands of years ago Qin Shi Huang had found this technique, but in the end failed to live forever, which shows the difficulty of soul art cultivation. Now not to mention soul art, even spiritual art has been lost for hundreds of years.
Soul sealing is a kind of spiritual art, which can seal the spiritual consciousness of the deceased in some kind of object, so that the memory, wisdom, and even thoughts of the deceased can be sealed for future generations.
For thousands of years, the Miao people lost their own writing in the expulsion of the Han people, but in fact, the Miao people did not have their own writing in the first place. And the so-called totem, the talisman, is actually a kind of "spiritual seal". Later generations can obtain the knowledge they want from the spirit seal, which is what they call word of mouth.
And this Shang Commandment Ruler is the thing of the Spirit Seal, and this secret is only qualified to be known by the head of the Li family.
"Zhanyun, you are the future head of the Li family, so you don't have to avoid this matter, and Xian'er is the one who pays back, so naturally he knows and has no defense." Li Zhanyun, who was about to avoid Li Zhanchao, said.
At that time, Shen Wangsan felt that only the text description was hidden in the commandment, and it was impossible to leave its essence behind. He was worried that future generations would be stupid and would not be able to carry forward the Shen family's business ways.
On the way to exile Yungui, Shen Wangsan heard of this spiritual sealing technique. When he was dying, he ordered the descendants of the Shen family to send him into the deep mountains, so that a master could seal his spiritual sense within this commandment.
Only each generation of the Li family has the right to use the spiritual consciousness inside, so only the ruler knows the secret of this commandment, including your father Zhanyun is the first time to see this ruler.
Li Suxian asked puzzledly: "What is sealed in this commandment ruler is Shen Wangsan's spiritual sense, so how can it be willing to be used by our Li family?"
"Haha......" Li Zhan said with a smile, the spirit is different from the soul, the spirit is thoughtless, it is just a kind of thought. It's like the computers and smartphones that you young people use today, as long as the password is correct, you can use it. And how the function depends on the quality of the software and hardware inside, which is called "spiritual products" in spiritual sense.
Li Zhanyun couldn't help it at this time, he asked, "Father, what's the matter with the centipede in Xian'er's hand?" ”
Li Zhan shook his head and said, "I don't know this very well, and this is the first time I've seen this kind of phenomenon." ”
When I inherited this ruler, it was only ....... Li Zhan seemed to suddenly understand something, and read: "Could it be..... Could it be..."
Li Zhan hurriedly got up and walked to the table and took out the business ruler again. said, "Zhanyun, come here!" Li Zhan's tone was very eager.
Li Zhanyun didn't dare to slack off for a moment, and walked over quickly.
Li Zhan handed the ruler to Li Zhanyun and said, "Hold it and recite the curse on the box once."
Li Zhanyun took the ruler and read it according to the words in the box.
"Do you see anything?" Li Zhan asked eagerly.
"Father, I didn't see anything."
Li Zhan urged: "You read it again and try it."
Li Zhanyun closed his eyes and recited the incantation again, then replied, "I still haven't seen anything."
Sure enough, Li Zhan sighed and said, this ruler has lost his inheritance power.
I think that the spiritual sense of this commandment ruler has been sealed in the "spirit seal" of Xian'er's arm. Unexpectedly, the spiritual consciousness of this ruler turned out to be a living thing as a spiritual seal, and the spiritual quality of this spiritual consciousness should be close to that of a divine product.
Li Zhanyun was very uneasy, and hurriedly followed: "Father, are you saying that the centipede on Xian'er's arm is a living thing?" Will there be any danger to the fairy? Father, do you have a way to get rid of this living thing?"
"Unless you meet a master who can seal the spirit technique, if it is not impossible to take out this spirit seal, besides, this is still a high-grade spiritual sense." Li Zhan said with helplessness in his tone.
"Grandpa, do you know how to seal spirits?" Li Suxian also asked.
Li Zhan smiled and shook his head: "All I know is obtained from Shen Wangsan's spiritual sense, and his spiritual sense does not have the content and memory of the cultivation method of the "Soul Sealing Technique".
"Xian'er, can you sense Shen Wangsan's spiritual sense now?"
Li Suxian closed his eyes, and after about a minute, Li Suxian opened his eyes and replied, "I can't feel it, grandpa."
Li Zhan rolled up Xian'er's sleeve again, looked at the centipede on her arm and said, "This spirit seal looks like it's sleeping."
"That's right, grandpa." Li Suxian suddenly remembered something and said, "The moment I fainted, I saw a mountain, a mountain surrounded by five black clouds. ”
"Wuyun Mountain, sure enough, Wuyun Mountain," Li Zhan said happily, but the next moment he fell silent again.
Li Suxian knew that Li Zhan was worried about her safety, and she clearly knew that her grandfather wanted her to take on her fate to save the Li family, but he couldn't bear her to put her in danger.
"Grandpa, then I'll set off for Wuyun Mountain as soon as possible!" Li Suxian said sensibly.
"No, the time hasn't come yet, Zu Xun wants you to enter Wuyun Mountain again when you are 25 years old, so you can stay until your 24th birthday."
"In the next four years, you go to university in Y City, Yunnan-Guizhou Province, firstly, to exercise your self-care ability, and secondly, to see if you can obtain any useful information, which must be our roots. For unnecessary trouble, you are still called Bai Su. I will let Dafang Yimai provide you with all the help you need, and I will also have people secretly protect you. ”
"Dad, look, grandpa is going to start helping me arrange it again." Li Suxian said coquettishly to Li Zhanyun with some dissatisfaction.
Li Zhanyun smiled, but didn't dare to respond.
"Grandpa, I can go to Y City to study at university, but I don't want you to send someone to protect me, and I won't accept the help of Dafang surnamed Li." Seeing that her father didn't dare to help her, Li Suxian turned to Li Zhan and said coquettishly.
"No, it's not negotiable." Li Zhan's tone was resolute and coercive.
Seeing this, Li Suxian could only retreat and begged, "Then I will accept Dafang's help, but grandpa, don't send someone to protect me." ”
"No way!" Li Zhan's tone was still resolute, but it was a little less coercive. Li Su knew that his grandfather was starting to soften, so he pursed his mouth and said coquettishly: "Then I won't go......"
Li Zhanyun, who was on the side, was afraid that Xian'er would be willful and anger his grandfather, so he hurriedly shouted: "Xian'er, don't make trouble."
Then Li Zhanyun said sincerely to Li Zhan: "Father, why don't you let Xian'er try to be independent, if she doesn't even have the ability to protect herself, then how can she complete her task in the future?"
Li Zhan seemed to be moved, waved his hand and said, "That's it, that's it...... It's up to you. Only accept the help of the big house, but you must make sure that you keep yourself safe. ”
"It's a deal!" Li Suxian smiled happily like a prisoner who had suddenly been freed.
"Hehe, thank you grandpa." Unable to hide the joy in her heart, Li Suxian showed her bright smile.
Later, Li Suxian learned: "Grandpa's so-called non-protection means that there is no danger to his life and he does not show up easily."
"Xian'er, Xian'er......" Ye Feifei called out to Li Suxian who was in a daze.
Li Suxian came back to her senses and replied, "Hey, Sister Feifei." ”
"What are you staring at the window? How do you feel like you've lost your soul as soon as you get here, are you hiding something from me? Ye Feifei asked solemnly.
"No, I'm thinking about going into the mountains the day after tomorrow. By the way, Sister Feifei, do you know the people on the list? Li Suxian replied in disguise.
"There are two sent by Grandpa Li to protect you, and they will only arrive tomorrow, and they should be from your Li family; I brought two subordinates; The other three were given by the guide, presumably his guests! ”
"The rest are those who contribute a lot of money in the group of travelers, and I don't know them."
Li Suxian was surprised and asked, "Are you short of money?"
"No, I just don't know how to choose?" Ye Feifei replied briskly.
"Hehehe, Sister Feifei, you're laughing at me." Li Suxian couldn't help but laugh.
