Chapter Forty-Six: The Scattered Souls
"Fei'er, it's really you!" Liu Yu looked at Liu Wenfei next to the sedan chair in shock.
At this time, Liu Wenfei was standing next to a double sedan chair, waving his hand to Liu Yu in surprise. At each end of the palanquin stood a short man, pale and drooping, like two walking corpses.
Liu Yuwei immediately ran over and looked carefully, it was indeed Liu Wenfei, I saw that he was dressed in brocade clothes, his face was ruddy, his sturdy body loomed through the smooth clothes, and he looked more and more energetic, not like a seriously injured person at all, Liu Yuwei couldn't believe that he would see Liu Wenfei here, and from his speech and demeanor, it can be seen that he seems to be very respected here, to be precise, it is a little frightening.
Liu Wenfei was also quite surprised by Liu Yuwei's appearance, but at this time, Liu Yuwei did not have the heart to get to the bottom of Liu Wenfei, but eagerly hoped to rescue Su Yanjun.
After listening to Liu Yuwei's brief introduction, Liu Wenfei smiled slightly, and didn't seem to care, but followed Liu Yuwei to the inn.
Along the way, the two of them asked each other about their lives since they broke up, and when they knew what happened to the Duan family, Liu Wenfei felt a burst of guilt, after all, Duan Feng became what he is today for himself.
The two came to the inn together, and along the way, Liu Yuwei told Liu Wenfei what happened to him in the ghost shop, and Liu Wenfei did not feel novel, but felt a little interesting.
I haven't seen him for a few months, Liu Wenfei seems to have grown up and matured, Liu Yuwei felt an inexplicable loss in her heart, in the past, it was Liu Wenfei's younger brother who begged him, and now this former child has become her most urgent savior.
Back at the inn, Liu Yuwei first took Liu Wenfei to see Han Qing and Duan Feng, and in order to take care of Duan Feng's emotions, he didn't directly tell Duan Feng about Su Yanjun.
Liu Wenfei told Duan Feng and Han Qing about his experience, and after hearing it, the two were both surprised and a little relieved by Liu Wenfei's experience.
It turned out that after Liu Wenfei and his father escaped from Phoenix, they went all the way to the east, and in order to avoid the pursuit of officers and soldiers, the two traveled day and night, bumpy all the way.
Liu Wenfei only felt the pain like the broken muscles and veins in his whole body, and there seemed to be a fire in his mouth, he only knew that he was with his father, but he had no memory of where he went.
When Liu Wenfei woke up again, he was already lying in a dim bedroom, the bedroom was very spacious, and the smell of incense was filled with it.
Liu Wenfei patted his groggy head and walked to the door, only to see two black-clothed guards blocking his way, although it was a block, but his attitude was very polite, and there was no disrespectful attitude at all.
Liu Wenfei couldn't figure out the situation for a while, and the guards didn't have any malicious intent, so he had to retreat to the room.
What surprised Liu Wenfei was that the injuries on his eyes and body had healed, as if nothing had happened, but his head was still a little groggy, it was because of his long sleep, Liu Wenfei judged.
As for why Liu Wenfei appeared here and how the injury was treated, Liu Tianfeng did not tell him, and Liu Wenfei did not continue to ask.
Liu Tianfeng only told Liu Wenfei that they were now in the ghost market, and he was now the person in charge of the ghost market, and the people here called him the spirit master, as for the rest, Liu Tianfeng didn't say much, and he didn't ask much, because he knew his father too well, and if he didn't want him to know, his father would never tell him.
It's just that Liu Wenfei's memories since he was imprisoned are intermittent and a little vague, and it seems that someone has touched his memory.
However, Liu Wenfei quickly adapted to these, for him, it was a painful memory, and perhaps forgetting it was a relief for him.
Along the way, Liu Yuwei told Liu Wenfei about Duan Feng's experience, although Liu Wenfei was ready to forget that memory, but when he heard Liu Yuwei's story, he would inevitably remember some.
For Liu Tianfeng, everyone didn't ask much, after all, everyone has their own secrets, and since Liu Tianfeng didn't want to say it, they didn't want to ask too much.
Liu Yuwei fried the fairy spirit grass he bought before and let Duan Feng take it, after all, the fairy spirit grass is a fairy grass, and after taking it, Duan Feng's physical condition immediately improved.
Within half a day, Duan Feng was able to move freely, although his aura had not recovered, but this was also a great blessing for Duan Feng.
Seeing that Duan Feng had improved, Liu Yuwei thought of Su Yanjun in her heart, and a sense of guilt welled up in her heart, after all, this fairy spirit grass was exchanged for her life.
Fortunately, Duan Feng had already subdued the fairy grass, and Liu Yuwei decided to tell Duan Feng what had happened.
After listening to Liu Yuwei's story, Duan Feng was very angry, and originally planned to reprimand Liu Yuwei fiercely, but after thinking about it, the whole thing was because of himself after all, and he was not qualified to blame Liu Yuwei.
"The top priority is to find Su Yanjun as soon as possible, so as not to encounter accidents for her. Han Qing was obviously more anxious than Duan Feng.
"It's just that the ghost market is so big, and we are not familiar with this place, how to start. Duan Feng said.
Liu Wenfei looked at everyone's sad looks and said, "My father may be able to help with this matter." ”
Subsequently, everyone followed Liu Wenfei to a mansion, the courtyard looked no different from the manor of the human world, and everyone was very surprised that there would be a courtyard of the human world in the ghost market.
And everyone traveled all the way, and the ghost vendors on both sides seemed to have great respect for everyone, and Duan Feng was convinced of Liu Tianfeng's identity at this time.
Liu Tianfeng first expressed his gratitude to Duan Feng, and after greetings, Duan Feng and the others told Liu Tianfeng what they meant.
After hearing this, Liu Tianfeng frowned and said, "You should have met the 'Scattered Soul Clan'. ”
"Soul Scatterers?" everyone had heard of this for the first time.
Liu Tianfeng explained: "The so-called 'Scattered Soul Clan' is a kind of creature that is separated from the heavens, earth, ghosts, demons, and elves, and the origin of this kind of creature is a long story. ”
In order to save time, Liu Tianfeng said: "People have three souls and seven spirits, after a person dies, the seven spirits are scattered, one soul returns to the tomb, one soul returns to the sky, and one soul returns to reincarnation, and a person's life ends." However, the Scattered Soul Clan is different, after the death of the Scattered Soul Clan, the seven spirits disperse, and the three souls continue to remain in the body, forming the Soul Scatterer. ”
"Because the soul-scattering people have no soul, they do not belong to the human race, and they cannot walk in the sunlight as normally as humans, so they cannot merge into the human world. If the three souls do not return to the path of reincarnation, they will not be able to enter the underworld, and if they do not enter the heavenly path, they will not be able to exist in the heavenly realm, so the soul scatterers are not under the jurisdiction of anyone in the three realms. ”
"In order to survive, the Soul Scatterers need to live in a place where the daylight is weak, but the yin qi is not too heavy, and since they are not tolerated by the Three Realms of Humans, Ghosts and Gods, they can only go to one place, and that is the Northern Forest in the Far North. ”
"Northern Forest, isn't that the territory of the elves?" Han Qing asked.
Liu Tianfeng said: "Yes. Although the Soul Scatterers are separated from the Three Realms, neither human, nor ghost, nor immortal, but they also need food and other things that are necessary for the Terrans, and in order to obtain these things, they will usually exchange things from the elves. ”
Liu Tianfeng took a sip of tea and continued: "However, the elven clan has always been isolated from the world and has never set foot in the affairs of the Three Realms, so the Scattered Soul Clan has naturally become a bridge between them and the outside world. ”
"Then what are they doing with Su Yanjun?" asked Liu Yuwei.
Liu Tianfeng said: "This is not clear, the elves have never been involved in the affairs of the human world, this time for some reason, why did they arrest the human race?"
Han Qing said: "Anyway, now Su Yanjun should be on his way to the Extreme North Domain, if we hurry up, we may be able to stop them on the way." ”
Liu Tianfeng said: "Then you are wrong, now, they should have reached the Extreme North Region." ”
"What, how is this possible?" Han Qing said, "Even if they are immortals, it is impossible to fly so fast at such a distance. ”
Liu Tianfeng said: "You don't know, the so-called ghost market is actually not a place, but a space. This space is on the edge of the two worlds of man and ghost, and it is also the passage in and out of the two worlds. This is also the reason why the Scattered Souls were able to come in. Most of the Scattered Souls live in the Far North, and only when the Ghost City wanders to the border of the Far North, the Scattered Souls will take the opportunity to enter the Ghost City, if the Ghost City is too far from the Far North, they will not be able to enter, or there will be no way to get out in a limited time, which is why the Soul Scatterers can only stay in the Ghost City for a limited time. ”
Hearing Liu Tianfeng say this, Han Qing immediately asked, "When did the ghost city reach the Extreme North Domain again?"
Liu Tianfeng's eyes closed slightly, pinched his fingers, and said, "Half a month." ”
"It's been too long!" Han Qing said eagerly: "Aren't you the ghost king, the ghost market is your responsibility, you must have a way!"
Liu Tianfeng waved his hand slightly, and said: "All things in the Three Realms have their own fixed numbers, the ghost market is the result of natural existence, and it is not controllable by human beings, if you want to control the location of the ghost market, you must control the boundary of yin and yang, among the three realms, I am afraid that the only person with this mana is the Emperor of Heaven." ”
"So, it's impossible to rely on the movement of the ghost city, if we go out from here and gallop on a fast horse, how long will it take to reach the Far North Domain?" Duan Feng asked.
I saw Liu Tianfeng's eyes closed, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Now if you go out from the Ghost Gate, it is estimated that it will take half a month to reach the Far North Domain, and even if you ride the spirit beast Red Feather Horse, it will take two days." ”
"No, it's been too long, is there a way to hurry up. Han Qing asked anxiously.
Liu Tianfeng sighed and led everyone to a room, only to see that the room was filled with a thin layer of smoke, gloomy, and in the center was a one-zhang square pool, the pool was flashing with colorful light, and the water in the pool was divided into five parts by five colors.
Liu Tianfeng said: "If you want to go faster, you can only go from here." ”
"What kind of place is this?" asked Han Qing.
Liu Tianfeng said: "This is the reincarnation disk, different colors can enter different spaces, white enters the heavenly realm, but this place has been banned, this is when the Emperor of Heaven defeated the Demon Venerable, when he reorganized the order of the Three Realms, he was created for all the immortals to enter and exit the Three Realms, and only those who have immortal books can enter the immortal realm from now on." ”
"What happens if someone who doesn't have an immortal book goes in?" Liu Yuwei asked.
Liu Tianfeng looked at Liu Yuwei and said, "Someone has tried it before, but as a result, did you see the pair of powder over there?"
As he spoke, Liu Tianfeng pointed to the side, only to see a pile of gray powder piled up next to him, more than a zhang high.
"That's the end. Liu Tianfeng said, "There are always some people who want to take shortcuts and don't listen to advice, and the result is ......."
Liu Tianfeng continued: "Red enters the human realm, black enters the demon realm, and blue enters the underworld. ”
"Then how do you enter the Far North Domain?" Han Qing asked.
Liu Tianfeng said: "In fact, the Far North Domain is located in the northernmost part of the Human Realm, and it was originally under the jurisdiction of the Human Realm, but due to the request of the Elf King back then, the Heavenly Emperor deliberately turned the Extreme North Domain into a place outside the square and was not subject to the jurisdiction of the Three Realms, but at the same time, it was required that the Elf Clan would never be allowed to step into the Three Realms. As for the reason, you will know later, so when making the reincarnation disk, the Heavenly Emperor specially did not leave a passage in and out of the Far North Domain. ”
"What then?" asked Han Qing.
"Listen to me. Liu Tianfeng continued: "Since the reincarnation disk was built by the then elf king - Yi, in order to leave a way back for his race, Yi later secretly installed a secret passage on the reincarnation disk. Originally, this passage was only known to the previous elf kings, but a few years ago, I don't know what happened in the Far North region, and there were frequent elves who came to the ghost market through this secret passage, and I found out that in recent years, the elves no longer appeared, and they were replaced by soul scatterers. ”
Han Qing hurriedly asked, "Where is that passage?"
I saw Liu Tianfeng wave his hands and recite a spell, and for a while, a gap appeared at the junction of the two worlds of human and ghost on the reincarnation disk, and a dazzling blue-purple light shot out from the gap.
"This is the passage into the Far North, and if you want to go, you have to hurry, because this gap can only last for half an hour at a time. ”
