Chapter 124: The Art of Soul Searching
Ying You, who was tortured by the ghostly thunder and almost collapsed, didn't understand the meaning of Banyou, she didn't understand why Banyou suddenly said that there were a few ways to talk about the ghostly thunder.
Grandma Whale, who was well-informed and experienced on the side, seemed to have figured out the front and back joints, and hurriedly stopped Ying You, who was about to move, and let her just listen.
"The power of the thunder and lightning of the Heavenly Punishment Technique is hundreds of times stronger than what you suffered just now, and it will rain down in an instant, and it will not give the punished person any time to breathe at all." Banyou didn't care about Ying You's thoughts at all, he looked down on his own, his eyes looked straight ahead, and he seemed to be just talking to himself, "The ninth and last path of the Shadow Falling Thunder is called 'Broken Soul', and it is not much different from the strength of the Heavenly Punishment Technique. You have already experienced the first three thunders, and it seems that you have reached the limit of your appearance, but they are nothing compared to the ninth path. Like the Heavenly Punishment Technique, the Ninth Shadow Thunder is enough to make the soul of the punished person scatter, but before that, it will cause the punished person to suffer extreme pain, and the limited time will be infinitely extended, shattering the soul and bones, and wishing to die immediately. ”
Speaking of which, Ying You still doesn't understand something, the reason why Banyou summoned the Shadow Thunder and gave her this lesson was to wake her up.
Half of the point is over, if it weren't for Huai Wei's hard work not to be in vain, he wouldn't care about this kind of nosy at all, as for what Ying You has to understand and to what extent, he doesn't care at all, he has wasted too much time, at this moment he only cares about one thing, Huai Wei's whereabouts.
"Whale Clan Patriarch, let me ask you one last time, where did my god go?" The half-dark cold eyes stared at the whale grandmother and gave an ultimatum.
"Lord You, I thank you for your prompting, although the method is a bit straightforward and tragic, I believe you are well-intentioned." Grandma Whale paused, looked at Banyu's face, was still full of jealousy of him, and responded thoughtfully, "The old body really doesn't know the whereabouts of the Venerable God. ”
"Since you came out by yourself, you can save me from forcibly breaking the barrier of the whale clan." Banyou's eyes suddenly became fierce, and as soon as he raised his hand to grab it, he brought the defenseless Grandma Whale to him, staring at her eyes and chanting a spell, "A hundred turns and a thousand times, looking for it, the memory in the soul, search!" ”
"Banyou, you actually used soul searching on me, I'm not a heinous criminal, you can't do this!" Grandma Whale protested in a high-pitched voice.
Banyou, who closed his eyes, only cared about Huaiwei's whereabouts, completely ignoring Grandma Whale's frightened expression, and it didn't take long to see him open his eyes.
"Found it." After getting the news he wanted, Banyou let go of Grandma Whale, returned to a polite posture, and thanked her, "Thank you." ”
"You actually used soul searching to probe my memories without permission, I didn't agree, half-ghost. Forcibly snatching memories, you are violating the prohibition set by the gods in the first place. The gods know that they will not spare you, and that you will be punished severely. Grandma Whale scolded Banyou's nonsense.
"What did you do to Grandma Whale? You are not allowed to hurt her, if you have anything, you will come at me, I will not be angry. Ying You angrily stepped forward and followed the half-ghost theory.
Afraid that Ying You would anger Banyou, Grandma Whale persuaded her: "Xiao You, I have something to say to Lord You, you retreat, it's okay, don't worry." ”
Ying You still felt uneasy, just now Grandma Whale was subject to the appearance of semi-seclusion, and she didn't look like she was fine, but Grandma Whale spoke, she could only obediently comply, and took a few steps back, but she didn't dare to go too far, just standing ten steps away, a distance that she could respond to at any time.
"Lord You, please face up to the old body's questioning." Grandma Whale doesn't seem to be going to be good, she wants Banyou to give a clear attitude.
Banyu replied lightly: "I don't care, as long as I can find my god, no matter what kind of punishment I receive, I am willing to eat." ”
Grandma Whale saw the madness that was enough to destroy the world from Banyou's deep eyes, and was frightened by such a hot gaze, and suddenly understood something, and retreated again and again, muttering to herself: "You are crazy!" That's God, the only god in heaven and on earth, how can you? It's blasphemy, you can't! ”
"I know I don't deserve it, but I can't control it." The desire to talk suddenly grew in the heart of the semi-dark heart, "rooted in the bottom of the heart, hidden deep in the soul." ”
"This emotion of yours is wrong, heaven and earth do not tolerate it, and it must be contained." Grandma Whale earnestly advised, with a solemn expression.
I don't know where this sentence touched Banyu's sensitive nerves, and I saw that his face was gloomy, and he quickly defended Grandma Whale: "I didn't say what I wanted to do, and I wouldn't ask for a half-star response." My only request is to stay by her side, to be there for her, even if I am neglected, even if I am disliked. ”
The worried Grandma Whale seemed to want to persuade again, feeling that she was talking deeply, and the half-quiet who was careless and confided in her heart didn't want to listen anymore, so she turned around and walked away.
"Grandma, what were you talking about? Why does Lady Yu look angry? Ying You stepped forward to ask, worried about what grievances Grandma Whale had suffered.
"Doomed to beg for it, why do you want moths to fight the fire?" Grandma Whale looked at the vast sea and muttered, not knowing who she was sighing for.
Ying You saw that Grandma Whale was stunned, and couldn't help but ask again: "Grandma, what happened?" What is Soul Searching? ”
Grandma Whale, who came back to her senses, looked at Ying You, who was worried, and replied, "Wow, it is a forbidden technique, and it is generally only used on those who have committed the most heinous crimes. ”
"What exactly? Why did Lord Yu use this forbidden technique on you? Is it bad for your body? Ying You asked again and again.
"Soul Reading and Soul Searching are both techniques for gaining memories. The difference is that soul reading requires the subject of the memory to be acquired to perform it voluntarily, while soul searching can be forcibly captured. These two spells are not harmful to the body, but there are requirements for the caster's ability, and they must have extremely strong strength to cast the soul searching technique, which requires a lot of spiritual power, and ordinary demons can't do it. Grandma Whale patiently tried two techniques for Ying You's science, but she was vague about the question about Banyou, "Lord You wants to know something, I promised to keep it a secret before, I can't say it, he has no choice but to do so." ”
"How can Lord Yu do this to you? Isn't that difficult for a strong man? Ying You was extremely disapproving of Banyou's behavior and indignantly condemned him.
"There will be pity for those who are hateful." Grandma Whale wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed, "Lord You, he is actually quite helpless." ”
Ying You didn't understand what Grandma Whale was saying, but she could feel that she didn't want to say more, so she consciously skipped what happened just now and asked about Huaiwei's whereabouts: "Grandma, what about God?" Didn't you say that Lord Yu was a divine servant? He should know best where the god is, why would he come to you and ask you? ”
"Venerable God has encountered a tricky matter that needs to be dealt with alone, and for some reason, she has not told Yu-sama where she went. And I promised the god before that I would never reveal her whereabouts, so I kept avoiding answering just now. Grandma Whale explained the cause and effect, and did not disclose specific details.
After listening to the explanation, Ying You knew that he was not suitable to ask this question, so he stopped saying no more, and helped Grandma Whale back to the bottom of the sea together.
And Huaiwei, who was being struggling to seek, can be said to be like a fish in water and very happy in the past few days in Pangu Mountain.
Pangu Mountain is isolated from the world, but it is not completely isolated, because it is the place where God was born, and it needs to listen to the demands, and it cannot be completely hidden.
It seems mysterious, but in fact it is inextricably linked with the world, which cannot be cut off, let alone erased.
The people in Pangu Mountain are simple-hearted, and most of the residents live and work in peace and contentment, and there is no dispute with the world, so this place can be called a paradise.
The environment in the valley is indeed a paradise, lush forests, lush grasslands, clear lakes like mirrors, birds, beasts, insects and fish, but there are also terrifying and hidden existences, located in the southernmost swamp, called the land of sin by the inhabitants of Pangu Mountain, full of ominous atmosphere.
Although none of the yokai knew the origin of this swamp, the warnings of their ancestors were passed on by word of mouth, and they all knew that they should not easily approach the vicinity of Yoshizawa.
Legend has it that there is a rather terrible monster imprisoned in it, and if you are not careful, the monster that has been sleeping for tens of thousands of years will wake up, bringing about a catastrophe that will destroy the world.
The monsters that inhabit Pangu Mountain are secretive about the swamp there, but Huaiwei used to often go in and out of Yoshizawa to watch and play in it.
Huaiwei was born in Pangu Mountain, where she grew up, and the monsters in the valley regarded her as a friend and relative, and respected her as a god, treating her with intimacy and respect.
Huaiwei, who had just woken up, returned to Pangu Mountain after thousands of years, and the monsters gave her a grand welcome party, which finally took shape after a few days of preparation.
All kinds of monsters of all races gathered together to congratulate Huaiwei on her resurrection and return to Pangu Mountain.
The banquet was held in an open space in the mountain pass, which was open and flat, just right for large gatherings.
That night, all the monsters in Pangu Mountain attended the banquet, even Candle Jiu, who had not shown up for thousands of years.
Candle Jiu is the descendant of the ancient giant beast Candle Jiuyin, who is good at divination, the omen of fortune and fortune, asks about the unpredictable things of heaven and earth, and predicts the future of the next generation.
The monsters call him Uncle Candle, respect and love him, he has a very important position in Pangu Mountain, it can be said that he is only under Huaiwei.
The art of divination can glimpse the heavens, which is tantamount to a kind of supernatural power. But it's always one and the same, and using this ability comes at a great cost.
Candle Jiu divined a major event back then, and since then, his feet have hardened, and he has never been able to stand up and walk, there is no medicine to cure, and there is no cure for it.
During the years when Huaiwei was "dead and dead", Candle Jiu had been locking himself in the house, avoiding guests, and living a hermit-like life.
