Chapter 2: The Immortal Soul
The only passage between earth ghosts and immortals, the well-known Qishengmen.
The ten-storey ancient tower of the gate high race, resembling a thousand-year-old tomb, is long and narrow, thick, and is cast by the spirit stone of milky gray in color, solemn and solemn, majestic and majestic.
Yes, the reason why the color of Qishengmen is described by milk ash is because it is not white, and it is not black when it is said that it is not white, and it is not black when it is said that it is black, as if there is white in black, and there is black in white, which is intertwined with each other, very contradictory, and from time to time it also emits a translucent halo, if you stare at this door for a long time, it gives people a sense of trance.
Qishengmen runs south to the immortal underworld, north to the earth ghost, the north is divided into two roads, the left line is 500 miles for the Nai He Bridge, and the right line is 500 miles for the Hall of Eternal Life.
And at this moment, there are a full division of soldiers standing in front of this gate, and the number is more than 10,000, and the number is 9,000.
Looking closely at the blades worn by these soldiers on their waists, none of them came out, and their faces had no special expressions, no fear, no fighting spirit, no vigilance, but their eyes brushed together, looking straight at the Qishengmen, as if they were standing here not preparing for a battle, nor were they bored listening to the morale-boosting remarks of the officers, but just waiting quietly, listening to the movements outside the Qishengmen.
Standing at the front was a man dressed in a gray-black robe, neither tall nor short, about seven feet long, with waist-length black hair, neatly draped over his back along with his coat and hat, revealing a slightly round young face.
This face looks to be in his early twenties, his cheeks have not completely faded from baby fat, and his eyes are round and large, like his cheeks, which at first glance are somewhat cute and kind.
But that's just how it looks at first glance.
Because the eyes revealed in these big round eyes are extremely inconsistent with the shape and appearance of its owner, which is a kind of sharpness and composure, deep and mysterious that only mature men have.
He is Huai Yu.
At this moment, Huai Yu's gaze, like the nearly 10,000 ghost soldiers behind him, stared at Qishengmen motionlessly.
I don't know how long it took, a blue-bodied strong man behind Huai Yu stepped forward and asked cautiously: "Prime Minister, it's been a full two days, why haven't any of those immortal soldiers arrived?"
Huai Yu still stood quietly, his eyes did not move a bit, and replied, "What do you think?"
The blue-bodied strong man didn't answer immediately, but thought for a moment, and said to himself: "This is really strange, it is said that the evil spirit that suddenly appeared in the immortal world two days ago didn't kill all the immortal soldiers left? This also includes the three generals Rong Qinghou, Meng Zheng, and Yan Kun......"
As he spoke, he paced two steps forward, holding his chin in his hand and continuing: "No matter how slow this is, it must have been sucked by the force of my earth ghost, how could it be escaped, and I haven't seen any of it until now...... Could it be ......" he said with a sudden pause in his eyes: "Prime Minister, is this news fake?
When Huai Yu heard this, he still didn't have any special expression, just said lightly: "It can't be fake, if it weren't for the fact that Xian Ming really couldn't bear it, and he was at the end of his rope, he wouldn't have alarmed Tianshan Su Yu and begged him to collect the demon." ”
The blue-bodied man frowned tightly, "But ...... But how could these millions of souls disappear inexplicably? And that demon can't really be the Demon Ziyan, right?"
Huai Yu withdrew his gaze from the Qisheng Gate, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "I can't think of anyone else besides him...... This Demon Flame is really not an ordinary creature, and it is special enough. As he spoke, he looked up at the blue-bodied strong man and said, "Xue Yi, the last time you went to Chang'an to see that demon, have you ever seen him suck away other people's souls?"
The first hall boss Xue didn't think about it, and replied neatly: "No, he can absorb the energy of the enchantment, and the spiritual power on the opponent's body." ”
"Are you sure?" Huai Yu's eyes revealed a suspicion that made Xue Yi uncomfortable.
"Pretty sure. Xue Yi was categorical.
"General, why don't you think about it again? ”
"Oh, Prime Minister, if that kid can really suck people's souls, can General Ding still have a life? This has no soul, even if our Youwang Zhu has boundless divine power, it will be in vain!" Xue Yi was a little impatient.
Huai Yu had heard of what happened in the underground palace of Chang'an, and General Ding in Xue's mouth was Ding Ning, the commander of the sixteenth hall, because she was the only one who could freely cast the bloody Xuanjin Shield, so she was specially assigned to provoke Demon Ziyan, to detect whether the king of Xuanyuan knew about the illusion of the Protoss, and whether he was the doppelganger of the Protoss Su Yu, but the final result was that the Demon Ziyan sucked all the essence of her body dry.
But what made Huai Yu most puzzling at this time was that Mo Ziyan just sucked her essence, and her soul was still completely recalled by Youwang Zhu.
He obviously had a soul in his body, and he should be able to control the soul, but he didn't know it at the time? Or did his subordinates show mercy?
Just as Huai Yu was thinking so, a handsome and beautiful young man suddenly appeared in front of him.
When Xue Yi saw the young man, he hurriedly kowtowed and knelt: "Xue Yi see the marshal." ”
Huai Yu saw that it was Xiao Lie, so he just nodded.
In the local ghosts, Wenchen and military generals are not divided into ranks, they belong to two completely independent factions, and they are directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, so even if Xiao Lie is the commander of a country, Huai Yu does not need to salute him.
Xiao Lie made a non-polite gesture to Xue Yi, and then asked, "How is the situation?"
Xue Yi said respectfully: "Back to Marshal, the people who have entered the Qisheng Gate in the past two days are all civilians who have died of illness and old age, and the millions of immortal soldiers in the immortal world are still missing. ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Lie's eyes: "Didn't any of them come?"
"Yes, not a single one. "Xue Yiyi.
Huai Yu's expression at this time showed a little relaxation, his hands shook each other, put his hands into the sleeves of the opposite mouth, and calmly said to Xiao Lie: "Marshal, there is no need to wait any longer, if I think correctly, they will never come, and the three great immortals that the pavilion master wants us to try our best to keep will naturally not come." ”
When Xiao Lie and Xue Yi heard this, their eyes flashed with incomprehension, and Huai Yu continued when he saw this: "Those undead, all the essence, even the soul, I am afraid that they have been sucked into the body by the Demon Ziyan. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and the soldiers behind them looked at each other in disbelief and horror, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
After an unknown amount of time, Xue Yi suddenly grinned and stammered, "Hehe, Cheng...... Prime Minister, this ...... How is this possible, how can the body of the demon bear such a powerful spiritual power, and ...... And there are so many souls, not one or two, that's millions...... This soul ......" Before Xue finished speaking, Huai Yu interrupted: "Don't forget that he has a soul in his body!"
Seeing that Xue was dumbfounded for a moment, Huai Yu continued: "This Demon Ziyan, as a Xuanyuan creature, can carry the spiritual power of the artifact since he was a child, which is already incredible...... When he first ascended the throne, I had also seen him in the Xuanyuan Palace, and with his angry character, if he was provoked by Ding Ning like that, as you said, he would definitely not leave Ding Ning a way to live, let go of her soul and only suck her essence, so ......"
"So it wasn't that he didn't want to, it was that he wouldn't. Xiao Lie said, his tone was very calm.
Huai Yu couldn't help but smile and nodded.
Xue Yi was completely confused, and asked in a daze: "Marshal, can you explain it more clearly to your subordinates......?" What is the origin of this Demon Ziyan? How can you feel that you can't die no matter what? Didn't Qishengmen obviously die at that time? Why did everyone say that he had become some kind of divine beast and was resurrected on the altar of the Immortals? Now the prime minister also said that he had sucked the souls of millions of immortal soldiers, and he ...... How did he do it, and what you just said he didn't want to do now, it's going to be a mess......"
Xiao Lie heard Xue Yi pour out his thoughts and questions like a ball, but he didn't have any impatient expression, but smiled and said gently: "Xue Yi, do you remember that when he was in Chang'an, he could easily manipulate your double swords, and he also used the earth ghost illusion technique you used?"
Xue Yi nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, that kid has also learned the illusions of General Flying Wolf and General Iron Sword, and can manipulate their weapons with ease. ”
"That's it. Xiao Lie said.
Xue glanced at the beads and turned, still very puzzled, "However, didn't they all say that he could absorb the spirit of all things, was it because he had a spirit in his body at that time?" ”
"Yes, now that Shi Chen's sword and Ji Lu have disappeared at the same time with his resurrection, it is not surprising that they must have re-integrated into his body, and what Ji Lu is really powerful is that he can manipulate his soul, whether it is to explore, nourish, or absorb, use, or ...... Destroy. At that time, our former king, didn't he also think of borrowing the soul of the soul of the ghost and ghost on the border of the empire, and returning the border to peace? "Xiaolie is unhurried, the first king in his mouth is Huanglei.
"Then since it's so powerful, why didn't the demon use it when he fought against General Ding and Marshal Qixiao at that time?" Xue Yi blurted out, and his color changed instantly, just because he suddenly remembered what Xiao Lie said just now: "It's not that he doesn't want to, but he won't." ”
Thinking of this, Xue Yi hurriedly approached Xiaolie and whispered, "The marshal is suspicious......"
"Yes, you guessed it right. Huai Yu interrupted Xue Yi, his face was as calm as Xiao Lie, but in this calm, there was a very complicated worry and uncertainty about the fate of the ghost.
Based on what he had seen and heard before, Huai Yu knew very well that Na Ji Lu had been in the body of the Demon Ziyan since he was a child, and his soul had always lived in Ji Lu.
Putting aside why Mo Ziyan's body can carry artifacts, just by virtue of his ability to explore the souls of his relatives through Ru Jia's soul, and by virtue of his ability to absorb the power of the protective barrier constructed by Xiao Lie, and finally drain Ding Ning's essence, it can be concluded that Demon Ziyan can manipulate the soul to a certain extent.
However, he doesn't use the truly powerful functions of the Soul Drain, such as absorbing, harnessing, or destroying souls.
But all this, on the day he was reborn, in the battle with the immortals, I am afraid that everything changed.
Thinking of this, Huai Yu sighed deeply, thinking Xiangshi, Xiangshi, Emperor of Heaven, Emperor of Heaven, I am afraid that you were in a hurry at that time, eager to save the people, and thought that you could control the spirit in the body of the Demon Ziyan, now how did the lives of the millions of soldiers in the immortal Ming die, who really died in the hands of whom, even if it is always a mystery? I am afraid that in addition to you in this world, there is one more Demon Ziyan in the world. ”...
