Volume 5, The Three Realms of the Stars and Moon_Chapter 80, The Ritual of the Illusion
"Those people just ...... What exactly is it? Emi hesitated for a moment and asked.
I smiled and said, "You can rest assured that they won't be bad for you." ”
Sent away Emi Guangmo, and I also felt that something was wrong with the black parrot suddenly coming to me today, what was he and Shenmen instructing Abe Yunshan to kidnap Yoshiko Ashiya for? What do they want from the Ashiya family?
Coincidentally, a short time after I got home, someone from the Ashiya family also came, and naturally found out the whereabouts of Yoshiko Ashiya and wanted me to help. If the black parrot hadn't come to me today, I might have gone with them, but when the black parrot happened, I didn't feel right. At that time, he spoke: "I need to know more truth, I want to know why Abe Unzan and the evil path onmyoji kidnapped Yoshiko Ashiya, I want to know what they want from your Ashiya family." ”
As soon as these words came out, the people of the Ashiya family were shocked at that time, because what they had said before was that I would help first without asking why. But now I actually asked the reason, and this suddenly made the people of the Ashiya family embarrassed.
"If you can't be the master, then find someone among you who can be the master." I shouted.
The Ashiya family really relied on me this time, so they didn't know how to respond to my request, so they reported it to me at the time. About half an hour later, a car drove over, and the person who came was actually Ashiya Moya, the second uncle of Yoshiko Ashiya.
"Ba Xiaoshan, we said okay." I had a private conversation with Ashiya Moya, and he yelled at me.
"Yes, I said yes, but now I've changed my mind. If you want me to help, you'll have to tell me what the Evil Onmyoji wants from your Ashiya family. If you don't tell me, then I'm sorry, I can't help with that. ”
Now the situation of the Ashiya family is also very bad, and the Abe family has also sent people to participate in trying to bring Abe Yunshan back. At the same time, in order to protect Abe Yunshan from being retaliated against by the Ashiya family, the Abe family sent several teams to secretly protect Abe Yunshan.
"You're forcing us!" Ashiya Moya's eyes were full of hostility when he looked at me, and I smiled and said, "My conditions have been made clear, this time I can't be a headless fly and follow you around." You can think about it, I'll wait for your answer. ”
When I came out of the room and waited in the living room for five or six minutes, Ashiya came out of the room, and when he saw me, he said, "I have asked my father, and he wants to tell you all this himself." This is the phone after the line is encrypted, you can talk to him directly. ”
I answered the phone, and the voice of the old owner of the Ashiya family was low and not very happy when I heard it.
"Ba Xiaoshan, you made it very difficult for me this time."
"Old master, I won't hide it from you. The people from the Divine Gate came to me today, and they made it clear that they didn't want me to get involved. I think that the evil onmyoji did not arrest Yoshiko Ashiya to avenge Abe Unzan, but to blackmail your Ashiya family. The evil path onmyoji is controlled by the Divine Gate, which means that the people of the Divine Gate want something from your Ashiya family. This has something to do with me, the relationship between me and the Shenmen is still quite deep, their boss is a powerful person I can't afford to provoke, I won't ruin myself for that little profit for no reason, especially if it is not clear. Do you see what I mean? I whispered.
"If I tell you why, can you promise to rescue my granddaughter?" The tone of the old head of the Ashiya family has changed a little, and it sounds a little loose.
"Yes, I promise that Yoshiko Ashiya will not lose a single hair." I still have that confidence.
"Do you remember the man you saw on the top floor of the pagoda?"
"The living dead?" I asked.
"He's not Ashiya Michimitsu, or he used to be Ashiya Michimitsu, but not anymore. He is my eldest son and Yoshiko's father. "This made me gossip, Yoshiko Ashiya's father should have died a long time ago, this is known in the circle. And listening to the old man's tone, it seems that Ashiya Michiman and his eldest son are quite related.
"Isn't your eldest son dead?" I asked.
"He is the reincarnation of Michiman Ashiya, after he has Yoshiko. The struggle between our family and the Abe family was very fierce, and there were several fierce conflicts between the two sides. In order to regain the upper hand in the struggle between the two families, we decided to use the art of reincarnation to awaken the memories of Ashiya Michimitsu, who had been sleeping in the soul of my eldest son, and to obtain the ancient Yin-Yang secret technique from Ashiya Michimitsu's memories, and then defeat the Abe family in this way. This ritual is known as the Ritual of the Apparition. "Looks like the old man is finally ready to tell me the truth.
"The ritual failed?" Since the man I saw was like the living dead, the natural ritual had failed. Unexpectedly, the old head of the Ashiya family actually said, "The ceremony was very successful, and the memory of Ashiya Michiman was completely awakened...... However, my son's consciousness was swallowed up by Ashiya Michimitsu's consciousness, and he even completely became Ashiya Michiman for a time. Of course, we also gained a lot of ancient yin-yang techniques from Ashiya Michimitsu's memories. But later, Mo Ya and I felt that we had regained the upper hand among the two families, and when we were about to reseal the memories of Ashiya Michiman, there was an accident. Michimitsu Ashiya found out that we were going to seal him and immediately launched a rebellion, and in the heat of the battle, I accidentally seriously injured my son. After that, my son's body fell into a state of paralysis, which is what is called a vegetative state in modern times. His consciousness was also confused by the injury, and he became my eldest son for a while. ”
"Oh, I see. But there's nothing you can't say, right? Why did you tell Yoshiko that her father was dead? But why did he actually keep him in a pagoda? I asked.
"Because the Illusion Ritual is forbidden." The old family master replied, "The phantom ritual is something we found out of the forbidden law, this kind of spell cannot be cast, especially our Ashiya family or the big family of Yin and Yang Liao, once the Abe family or peers know about it, then the reputation of our Ashiya family will be stinky." ”
"No wonder, it's here!" I thought to myself.
"So we faked the death of my eldest son, and no one even knew the truth except me and Moya. Our family's pagoda is not accessible to anyone. This time, I thought you wouldn't be able to go to the top, but I didn't expect to be bumped into by you. "The old man really looks down on me, as long as the two statues put by their family can stop me?
"Then why are the Divine Gate and the Evil Dao Onmyoji looking for your eldest son? I'm afraid it has something to do with Ashiya Michiman, right? I asked.
"That's right, they kidnapped Yoshiko this time to force me to exchange my eldest son. They wanted to get an ancient secret technique from Ashiya Michimitsu's memories. ”
"What secret technique?" I asked hurriedly.
There was silence on the other end of the phone, and I felt that this question was the most critical question, and after a moment's hesitation, I said, "Do you still have reservations?" ”
"This secret technique is called the method of the dead soul, and it has been lost to this day. It is rumored that the method of dead souls can be used to completely transform souls into soul power, and then the soul power can be precipitated and blessed on formations and weapons. ”
Generally speaking, after death, people will turn into ghosts, and ghosts have soul power, and once the ghost is dispersed or reincarnated, the soul power will naturally be dispersed. It's very difficult to store soul power, it's a wonderful power that can't be seen, touched, or even felt, and I can't say what the specific use is, but it is said that soul power contains some of the most original things of the human soul, and to put it mildly, soul power is like the origin of life.
In ancient times, there were many masters who studied souls, and there were some masters who studied souls very well, and even invented and studied how to operate soul power. Strangely, however, these methods have now been lost.
"So it's on this, does the Abe family know about this?" I asked.
"I should know, since Abe Yunshan participated in the kidnapping of Yoshiko, then he should also know about my son."
