Chapter 36: Horcruxes and Soul Jade
Nie Xiaoqian's degeneration of the dead soul into a ghost, Wu Yong had seen it in an ancient book called "Five Wheels of Law Book" in the Taoist temple collection.
Due to the five thoughts of greed, hatred, ignorance, attachment, and resentment, the deceased soul does not enter reincarnation, and can only turn into an evil thing, wandering between heaven and earth, relying on devouring other dead souls and ghosts to survive and steal life.
At that time, Wu Yong thought that this was a matter of foxes, fairies and ghosts written by the ancients, but he didn't take it to heart.
But when Nie Xiaoqian brought up this topic again, the content written at the beginning of the ancient book also haunted Wu Yong's mind.
In order to make Wu Yong understand more clearly, Nie Xiaoqian deliberately gave an example.
"Wu Yong, do you remember the spider ghost that you killed?"
Wu Yong nodded, and half-jokingly teased: "I remember, that spider ghost is not only ugly, but also babbling about what can't afford to buy a house, what kind of nonsense as a junior." ”
Nie Xiaoqian nodded and said in a coquettish voice: "If my guess is correct, that revenant soul will degenerate into a spider ghost by relying on this powerful resentment." ”
When Wu Yong learned this information, the expression on his face froze in vain, and his eyes looked at Nie Xiaoqian directly, but the words of the spider ghost were clearly echoing in his ears!
"You forced me, you forced me. I just can't afford to buy a house, I just can't afford a car, but you want to abandon me, I'd rather be a junior, and I'm going to haunt you as a ghost and make you uneasy..."
Suddenly, Wu Yong's expression suddenly became a little decadent and sluggish, and he seemed to have some general sympathy for the spider ghost in his heart.
After all, Nie Xiaoqian has never lived in the mortal world, and she does not know much about the mortals in the present world, especially those who live at the bottom of society and want to change the status quo of difficult life through their own efforts, but they are frequently attacked and exploited.
In the case of the spider ghost, it is not difficult to come out of the resentment of its fall.
This person's life must have been very embarrassing before, and even the most beloved woman chose to betray because he was unable to change the status quo of his life, and was willing to be someone else's junior.
Perhaps, this person is unable to face the blow of cruel reality, chooses to end his life, and after death, relies on resentment to turn into a ghost.
But if this is the case, then the fate of the spider ghost is simply inferior to the lowly grass mustard ant.
He was betrayed in his life, and he was beheaded by the soul searcher after his death!
Could this be the true face of a seemingly prosperous but ugly world?
After relieving his nerves, Wu Yong tried his best to calm down the ups and downs of his heart, and said in a deep voice: "You continue." ”
"Once a dead soul has degenerated into a ghost, no matter what the reason, the soul seeker must kill it. Because the only consciousness of the existence of ghosts is to devour the rest of the ghosts and souls of the dead, so that they can continue to evolve. As for the division of ghosts, there are generally seven levels. It is divided into small ghosts, big ghosts, void spirits, king spirits, holy spirits, demon spirits, and Shura. ”
After a pause, Nie Xiaoqian emphasized one point, "From a small ghost to a big ghost, it seems that there is only one level of difference, but if you want to evolve, you must devour hundreds of undead ghosts, condense your strength, and break through." ”
Wu Yong listened attentively, and when he learned that ghosts have a hierarchy, he couldn't help asking: "Ghosts have a hierarchy, so for soul searchers, is there a difference in rank?" ”
"That's right, the soul searcher is actually a soul body with powerful soul power. The level of the soul body is divided into souls, soul masters, soul honorables, soul kings, soul saints, immortals, and gods. ”
Saying this, Nie Xiaoqian called Wu Yong to his side and drew two rings in the soil with slender bamboo branches, and one of the rings was painted a few more times by Nie Xiaoqian and turned into a solid ring.
Nie Xiaoqian pointed to the solid ring and said eloquently: "This solid ring, you can see it as a ball. In fact, it should be called the Soul Jade. ”
Soul Jade?
Wu Yong muttered and repeated a few words.
"The main function of soul jade is to store special soul power attributes. Under normal circumstances, a soul person can only have one soul jade, and so on, and every time he is promoted to one level in the future, he can control one more soul jade, and each soul jade can store a special soul power attribute. ”
With the words soul jade constantly lingering in his mind, Wu Yong scratched his head and said with a puzzled face: "No, I remember that after absorbing the soul power in your body at that time, I didn't seem to see any soul jade appear, could it be that my level is not enough." ”
Wu Yong's words hit the nail on the head, in fact, Nie Xiaoqian has also been troubled by this matter for a long time.
When Wu Yong absorbed all of Nie Xiaoqian's soul power, he should have completely absorbed Nie Xiaoqian's soul jade.
From the time Wu Yong became a soul person until now, there has been no sign of the appearance of soul jade. In this regard, Nie Xiaoqian was also puzzled.
After pondering for a moment, Nie Xiaoqian explained lightly: "If a soul person wants to have soul jade, he must absorb the spirit ring of the ghost, and only in this way can he produce soul jade. ”
As she spoke, Nie Xiaoqian pointed to the ring on the other side with a bamboo pole, "All the power of the ghost spirit is concentrated on the ring of the spirit." Even individual ghosts, the spirit ring carries special power attributes. As long as the ghost is killed, the spirit ring will fall off the ghost's body. Next, all you need to do is absorb the Ring to gain great power. As for why you don't have a soul jade, I think it's very likely that you haven't absorbed enough spirit rings, as long as you kill a few more ghosts and absorb their spirit rings, maybe you can produce soul jade. ”
Hearing Nie Xiaoqian's explanation, Wu Yong temporarily let go of the problem of not producing soul jade.
"By the way, I remember fighting the spider spirits and I had a huge boning knife in my hand. But when I killed the ghost, the boning knife was gone? ”
Nie Xiaoqian smiled lightly and said, "The boning knife you said is actually a Horcrux. Horcruxes are the part of the soul body that is separated from the soul body when it becomes a soul person, and there are three forms of Horcruxes, the first is the usual blade, the second is in the form of plants, and the third can appear in the form of monsters. No matter which form the Horcrux appears in, it must be combined with the special attribute soul power contained in the soul jade in order to burst out with the most powerful combat power. ”
Seeing Wu Yong frowning tightly, he didn't seem to understand very much. Nie Xiaoqian said slowly: "You still remember my Qiushui Sword, it is actually my Horcrux." Horcruxes can be integrated into the owner's soul under the master's control, or they can be carried by the owner all the time. Since I was always ready to fight the ghosts, I had to take the Autumn Water Sword with me. By now you should understand that the Horcrux you are using does not disappear, but actually merges with your soul. ”
