Chapter 117: The Heroic Soul Remains
The female major led Li Yao to the depths of the barracks.
Along the way, he met many soldiers, and they all looked at Li Yao with shuddering eyes, as if he was a monster.
Li Yao was furious by everyone, and couldn't help but ask the female major: "Why are they looking at me like this?" ”
The female major was silent for a moment, and said: "You went crazy on the platform, beating a third-layer cultivator in the Qi refining period to the point that more than a dozen soldiers couldn't pull you away, at that time we thought you were possessed by the demon clan, and almost didn't kill you directly, only to find out after a comprehensive inspection that you are still 100% pure human, just a spiritual root awakening - to be honest, I have seen many times that a cultivator has awakened the spiritual root, and it is the first time that you are so exaggerated." ”
Li Yao was speechless and laughed a little embarrassedly.
The female major glanced at him, and continued: "However, after understanding the cause and effect, many people in the army think that you are very good enough and a man!" ”
As she spoke, the female major stopped in front of a heavily guarded tent, pointed inside, and said, "Go in, he's inside." ”
Li Yao looked around.
The black tent was located at the very center of the makeshift barracks, surrounded by hundreds of military guards, and next to it stood several men in civilian clothes with extraordinary bearings.
Although he didn't dare to release the spirit silk detection, Li Yao could still feel that they were different, and they should all be cultivators who had cultivated to the highest level.
Moreover, there was a defensive array faintly arranged around the tent, and the means were so high that Li Yao couldn't see through the depth at all.
With such a tight guard, who is "he" inside?
Li Yao's curiosity aroused, he opened the curtain of the door and bowed into the tent.
A translucent white mist filled the tent, and seven or eight people stood in the fog, dressed in fully enclosed white surgical gowns. A doctor wearing a sterile mask is nervously operating around an operating table.
In front of the operating table, there are four robotic arms, which are vibrating with great agility.
Li Yao came in. The white mist rushed towards him to help him disinfect and sterilize.
Li Yao looked carefully at the operating table, but saw that it was not a human lying on it, but a relatively short spiritual prosthetic body, with limbs and body made of metal, and hundreds of spars inlaid in key parts. The intricate threads of spiritual silk spread between the limbs and hundreds of remains, flashing with a strange light.
The head of this spiritual prosthetic body was inlaid with a small light curtain, and the tungsten steel Heavenly Spirit Cover was opened, and four robotic arms quickly inserted dozens of chips into the "brain". Then carefully close the "Heavenly Spirit Cover" and tighten the screws.
"Psionic filling, ready to activate!"
Beneath the white mask of a doctor, there was a voice that was unwavering and devoid of human emotion.
"Didi! Self-test complete! ”
"Didi! The thinking crystal forms a loop, and the synchronization rate of the soul and the chip is 37%...... 58%…… 81% to meet the awakening standard! ”
"Didi! The crystal path of the spiritual machine prosthetic body is circulating normally, and the body control is being authorized to open...... Open Complete! ”
As all the hedrons around him suddenly shone, the spiritual prosthetic body on the operating table slowly sat up. Shook the metal head in confusion.
The light curtain embedded in the face first appeared as a snowflake, and soon condensed into an ordinary human face.
It's Ding Yin!
"Li Yao, hello. We meet again. ”
Ding Yin smiled slightly, but his voice was as ancient as that of a doctor, without human emotion.
He frowned slightly, and said, "Start the human emotion simulation system, hey, hey." Li Yao, now I'm talking normally, right? ”
Li Yao was completely stupid. Stammered, "Yes, it's normal." Teacher Ding - You're not dead? ”
"I'm dead!"
Ding Yin said with a smile, "Seven low-level cultivators, a Taiyi Thunder Magnetic Cannon, rushed towards hundreds of millions of demon beasts - where is there still the truth of immortality?" But I'm lucky, there is still a wisp of remnant soul that has been found, and I have no choice but to become a 'ghost cultivator'. ”
"Ghost cultivator?"
Only then did Li Yao remember that among the cultivators, there was such an extremely special kind of existence.
The so-called ghost cultivation, as the name suggests, means that after the death of the cultivator, the body is destroyed, leaving only a wisp of remnant soul, and through all kinds of coincidences, the ghost will not disperse, and once again embark on the road of cultivation!
In the ancient cultivation world 40,000 years ago, the appearance of ghost cultivation was very rare, and there were many restrictions on the cultivation of yin souls.
Therefore, in the ancient cultivation world, the reputation of ghost cultivation is not good, similar to that of evil demons.
However, in the 40,000s of Xiuzhen, the civilization was advanced, as long as the soul was strong enough, it could be digitized, the soul could be sealed into the chip, and with the spirit machine prosthesis, it could not be afraid of the sun, travel during the day, and embark on a new road of ghost cultivation.
Of course, people and ghosts have different paths, and the path of ghost cultivation is ten thousand times more dangerous than the general path of cultivation, and the spiritual prosthetic body is not a physical body after all, and a random sunspot explosion may blow the yin soul away.
The vast majority of ghost cultivators are also immortal, and after a few hundred years, they will still have old and decaying spirits, scattered souls, and completely die.
However, it's better than disappearing now!
"Ding Daoyou, welcome to join the ranks of ghost cultivation, although people and ghosts have different paths, it is impossible to be reborn, but the world of ghost cultivation is as exciting, let's explore together!"
All the doctors around them applauded enthusiastically, making the sound of jingo clashing, as if their palms were made of metal.
One by one, the doctors ripped off their masks, revealing eight eerie metal skull faces in front of Li Yao.
Li Yao almost didn't call out - these eight doctors turned out to be ghost cultivators!
Stay in a tent with the nine dead ghosts.
Ding Yin smiled, waved his hand and said, "Fellow Daoists, you are not right, this young man is very good, you can't scare people like this." ”
A particularly tall ghost cultivator "hehe" smiled darkly, stretched out five metal ghost claws, gently pinched Li Yao's shoulder, and said gloomily:
"We heard that this young man is very good, for you Ding Daoyou to stand up and beat the opponent who is two levels higher than him to the ground, so let's test him! Good lad. I didn't scare the pee, I was really a man! ”
Many ghost cultivators laughed together in a weird way, it turned out that they could also express their emotions like normal people, just now they were just disguised.
Li Yao suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and the mysterious and weird image of "Ghost Cultivation" collapsed instantly. These people, no, these ghosts are too naughty!
Ding Yin pressed down with both hands, stopped the sneering of the ghosts, and walked down from the operating table with some dullness, staggering two steps. He said to himself: "It feels weird, it's like a membrane wrapped around the body, which is completely different from the past. ”
"Of course, you used to be human, but now you're a ghost. In the past, no matter how high the cultivation was, when the ghost cultivation had to start from scratch, and when the matter here was over, he would invite Ding Daoyou to live in the 'Yingling Pagoda' for a year and a half, and learn how to be a good ghost, so that he could truly integrate into the world of ghost cultivation. "The tall ghost cultivates.
Ding Yin sighed and said with some melancholy: "When I went out, I was still a flesh-and-blood person, but now I have become a cold ghost. I really don't know how to explain to my wife and children when I go home! ”
The tall ghost cultivator said: "Ding Daoyou, don't worry, wait until the inspection is completed, and confirm that no demon clan has mixed into this train." Once all the passengers are safely at their destinations, the incident will be made public, and you will be heroes of the Commonwealth, and your families will be proud. ”
Ding Yin nodded a little dazedly, quickly stabilized his feelings, and turned his head to say. "Li Yao, if you have anything to say, we might as well say it slowly. Right now, there is an urgent matter that needs your help. ”
"Teacher Ding, please speak. I do my best! ”
Ding Yin's image is extremely tall in Li Yao's heart, and of course he wants to help him with something.
Ding Yin took a stiff step and led Li Yao out of the tent.
Outside the tent was a stupid and thick black military war shuttle, specially modified, with a big horn-like thing on its buttocks, and a bearded veteran sitting in the driver's seat, next to several soldiers, all wearing special skull emblems on their chests, and four small words underneath:
"The Soul is back!"
"This is the most special 'soul search team' of the Federation Army, which is responsible for searching for remnant souls on the battlefield, they have searched for me just now and found me back, and now they want to conduct a second search to see if they can find other remnant souls."
Ding Yin explained while pulling Li Yao onto the military war shuttle.
"How can I help?"
Li Yao inspected the military war shuttle and found that although this war shuttle looked tattered, the magic weapon components were well maintained, and there would be no problems for a while, so there was no place for him.
Ding Yin said: "When a person has just died and his soul is scattered, he will have a special sense of the last person he has seen, you are the last person we have seen, your appearance will stimulate the yin soul and produce special fluctuations, and the soul search team can detect it." ”
"I see, let's go!" Li Yaofei jumped on the shuttle.
Searching for the remnant soul is a matter of racing against time, in case the scorching sun is in the sky, the sun is shining, and the soul dissipates, then even Da Luo Jin Xian will not be able to save it.
The military war shuttle carried the soul search team, plus Li Yao, Ding Yin and the tall ghost cultivator "Tang Long", searched all the way along the crystal track, and soon came to the battlefield where last night was killed.
When he arrived here, Li Yao realized how dangerous last night was.
Along the crystal track, a radius of dozens of miles was covered with dense charred corpses, black and dark.
The military warshuttle flew close to the ground, and the powerful air flow from the power talisman burst blew away the charred corpses on the ground, kicking up clouds of black smoke and dust.
"Wave! Wave! Wave! ”
A monotonous sound came from the loudspeaker on the butt of the military warshuttle, spreading in all directions.
A member of the Soul Searching Team stared at the light curtain under the loudspeaker, very nervously probing.
Li Yao was a little curious, looked left and right, tried to close his eyes, stretched out the spiritual silk from the spiritual root, and sensed the outside world.
"Wow, so many little dots of light!"
Li Yao was shocked, he found that the whole world was covered with small blood-red points of light, which simply converged into an endless ocean of light, and the blood-colored small points of light didn't need him to absorb them at all, so they rushed into his spiritual root.
However, after devouring these small points of light, he faintly felt an uncomfortable feeling, his mind was dizzy, and an indifferent killing intent was born in his heart. (To be continued) R466
