Chapter 1: Unexpected phone calls

At noon that day, I received a phone call that I didn't expect.

The voice of the person on the phone was old and weak.

He told me to hurry to PT County, FJ Province to find him.

I asked him, who was he?

He didn't say it explicitly, but asked me, "Is there any wine?"

I knew right away who he was.

The first guest of my teahouse, the master of the Tenshod Sect.

But how could his voice be like this?

I asked him, and he said we'd see each other.

After six or seven hours of high-speed rail and car rides, I arrived in PT County that night.

PT Prefecture says it is a county, but it is actually an archipelago.

At a dockside guesthouse on the main island, I met the Grand Master.

A month ago, the Master I met was a standard middle-aged man.

However, now, the master I have seen is more like an old man in his seventies and eighties.

Haggard, gray hair, and layers of wrinkles on his face, if you look closely, you can see dense age spots.

My mouth opened wide in surprise, a little hard to believe my eyes.

I quickly asked him what was wrong.

He looked at me and said in a hoarse voice:

"I was wrong."

Wrong?

I didn't understand what he meant.

He saw that I was puzzled.

He said: "The Heaven Interception Technique is not luck, but spirit!" ”

"Spirit?" I couldn't help but repeat it.

He nodded heavily.

According to the concept of modern biology, if all kinds of unexpected circumstances are excluded, how long a person can live depends largely on a person's genes.

But the Xuanmen people don't think so.

Everyone must have heard of the word - double cultivation of life.

The "sexuality" in this, if it is not too accurate, can be directly replaced with the soul, and in the same way, the "life" can be replaced with the body and the body.

The dual cultivation of life is a cultivation method for people in the Xuanmen to pursue immortality.

It can be seen from here that in the eyes of the Xuanmen people, a person's lifespan is determined by two factors, "soul" and "body", not just by the body (genes).

A strong physical body can nourish the soul through Dangong, and a strong soul can also nourish the physical body through Dangong.

And the amount of spirit just determines the strength of a person's soul.

I have heard that all kinds of evil sects use all kinds of strange and even cruel methods to strengthen the body, so as to slowly nourish the soul and gain longevity (this is the case with Cao Fazong's fetal pill).

But I've never heard of a spell that can directly capture a person's spirit.

The soul, whether in the eyes of ordinary people or Xuanmen people, is an extremely mysterious thing.

To use an inappropriate analogy, the soul is the unified field theory in physics, and most people don't know what it's all about, and the people of Xuanmen don't know either.

The Xuanmen people are stronger than the average people, and the Xuanmen people understand things like "quantum mechanics" and "relativity".

If there is really a spell that can intercept the essence, then it is equivalent to someone who has put forward the correct unified field theory, and a small Nobel Prize is ironclad and there is no problem, and it is the right treatment to be as brilliant as Newton and Einstein.

"What about the Fangla uprising? Could it be that he rebelled to kill people, intercept his spirit, and seek immortality? "I asked the Master.

Master Venerable thought for a moment and nodded.

"But Fang La didn't gain immortality?" I then asked.

Master Zun shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

"Then how do you know that the Heaven Interception Technique is not about luck, but about spirit?" I finally asked.

Master Venerable told me what had happened to him in the past month. 、

A month ago, after revealing the news of Fang Mingyan and Gu Mingyi to me, he set his sights on Fang Mingyan.

He wanted to take advantage of the time when Fang Mingyan and the Dragon Slaying Bureau were fighting, so as to profit from the chaos and steal the Heaven Interception Technique.

Before the Dragon Slaying Bureau arrived, he saw that Fang Mingyan seemed to have expected that his demise was irreversible, and secretly handed over the Heaven Interception Technique to Gu Mingyi.

After that, he chased Gu Mingyi all the way south, to H City, F City, to ......, and finally to PT County.

But just last night, as soon as he arrived in PT County, he was discovered by Gu Mingyi's accomplices before he found Gu Mingyi's accomplice.

The first time he saw the old man, he lost consciousness and fainted.

When he woke up again, he found that his soul was so weak that he could lose his soul at any moment.

In order to survive, he could only use secret methods to quickly nourish his soul with his physical body, and in the end, he became what he is now.

After surviving, he thought about it for a long time, and he didn't know what spell the old man used.

Like me, he had never heard of this kind of spell that directly intercepted the spirit.

In the end, he guessed that the old man was using the Heaven Interception Technique.

Because there was only the Heaven Interception Technique, he had never seen it, and its use was never hearsay.

After listening to Master Zun's analysis, I think it makes sense.

Except for the Heaven Interception Technique, which has just been born again and few people have ever seen, I can't think of any other spell that can intercept people's spirits.

After listening to the master's story, I asked him what he was looking for me for?

Find that old man to take revenge, or rob Gu Mingyi's hand of the Heaven Interception Technique?

The master glanced at me disdainfully and said, "Looking for revenge on the old man?" You can't! ”

I:......

Well, that's to snatch the Heaven Interception Technique in Gu Mingyi's hands.

However, in my heart, I still feel a little guilty about Gu Mingyi.

I'm not too aggressive.

As if seeing my hesitation, the master tempted me and asked me, "Isn't there any interest in the Heaven Interception Technique, which can intercept the essence?"

I shook my head.

For such a spell, as a Xuanmen person, how could I not be interested? 、

But there is a way to steal, and you can't rob it just because you're interested.

I'm also interested in money, can I go and rob a bank?

He "persuaded" me for a long time, but I was unmoved.

In the end, the master had no choice but to say, "You just do it and watch, the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors is scattered overseas!" ”

I was stunned for a moment.

Overseas?

Isn't the Heaven Interception Technique in Gu Mingyi's hands? How did they end up overseas?

"Do you know why Gu Mingyi came here?" The Master asked me.

I shook my head. I just knew that Gu Mingyi was here, and I didn't have time to think about why he came here.

The master turned his head, looked at the pier not far from the incense window, and said:

"Few people know that right in PT County, there is a boat that goes to Taiwan."

Taiwan, although it is not the same government as us, is it not overseas?

Master Zun continued: "The Dragon Slaying Bureau has now blocked all the airports, and Gu Mingyi can't get out. But as long as he gets to Taiwan, he is not restricted, he can go to Japan, he can go to the United States. Don't forget that behind Fang Mingyan, there is also a Democracy Foundation. ”

Well, this reason of the master is still very convincing.

I agreed.

Seeing that I agreed, the master got up and left.

When I walked to the door, the master suddenly turned around and said to me:

"Don't look for the Dragon Slaying Bureau!"

I was stunned for a moment.

"Why?" I asked him.

I still have a lot of trust in the dragon slaying bureau led by Kong Lao.

I'm sorry, that's all for today.

Also, thanks to 17K book friend ucfar5sl for the sixth tip.

Plus more, I don't dare to mention this kind of thing anymore.

Let's owe it first.
