Chapter 183: The Origin of the Horcrux

Seeing this scene in front of him, the word "Horcrux" suddenly appeared in Zhou Daoran's heart. (Book = - house * 0 small -} say -+ net)

When it comes to Horcruxes, we have to mention its origin, saying that although this Horcrux does have something in the human world, it was originally used in the underworld.

As the name suggests, this underworld is the underworld is a place where people only go after death, and the so-called underworld in our east and hell in the west all belong to the underworld.

It's just that due to the different locations of the underworld and the different regions under their jurisdiction, their names are also different, for example, China is located on the Shenzhou Continent and is called a big country in China, while Dongying Island not far away is called Dongying.

Therefore, just because of the different positions prescribed, the customs and titles of each are also different.

In places like the underworld and hell, there are naturally a large number of souls that need to be reincarnated, or to be punished by ordination.

And since the management of the underworld is responsible for a large number of souls, there are naturally times when the head is often big, and I don't know how many years ago, a manager of the underworld inadvertently found that such a thing as a horcrux has a great harmful effect on the soul.

After that, the Underworld mined Horcruxes and used them to craft them into weapons and distribute them to the soldiers of the Underworld, so that they could easily manage the souls of the Underworld.

Depending on the purity of the Horcrux, the damage to the soul is naturally high and low, and the higher the purity, the higher the damage to the soul.

However, it stands to reason that the three worlds of God, man, and the underworld have long been incompatible, so how does this human world know about the existence of Horcruxes?

Speaking of which, I have to say that the story of Li Shiming, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, visited the underworld, and the Dragon King of Jinghe originally wanted to beg Taizong Li Shiming and begged him to drag the minister Wei Zheng to save his life.

Which Cheng thought, although Taizong Li Shiming dragged Wei Zheng's body by the introduction of playing chess, he didn't expect to be exploited by Wei Zheng.

After the death of the Dragon King of Jinghe, he was unwilling, so he went to the underworld to sue the Yin Form, and the King of Hades ordered the little ghost to ask for the three souls of Taizong Li Shiming, and went to the underworld to testify, and finally the King of Hades only sentenced Taizong to the eighteenth layer of hell as punishment.

That is, when Taizong Li Shiming's soul was traveling to the eighteenth layer of hell, he found that the ghosts at that time had a weapon that emitted a jet-black luster, and out of curiosity, he asked the judge who was with him at that time.

Taizong Li Shiming also learned from the judge's mouth that this kind of thing was called a horcrux, which had extremely severe damage to the soul, and those who wanted to be punished by the eighteenth layer of hell were several vegetarian masters, and how could these little ghosts in the underworld be opponents.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, these ghosts were equipped with a horcrux and used as a weapon, but if there were unruly souls, the ghosts could be managed in time.

And according to the judge, the Horcrux can not only attack the soul body directly, but if the body is scratched with the soul body, the soul will still receive a certain amount of stimulation through a layer of skin.

Later, the judge was very generous and took Taizong Li Shiming to the mining site of the Horcrux, and saw the most primitive appearance of the Horcrux, Taizong Li Shiming remembered it in his heart by the way, and after he returned to the yang world, he also told the people around him about his experience in the underworld.

As the so-called speaker has no intention of listening, although Taizong Li Shimin didn't care about it when he said Horcruxes, he just mentioned it casually.

But it was heard by people with a heart, and since then, a large number of cultivators have begun to cross the mountains and mountains, tirelessly looking for Horcruxes, in order to create a weapon of their own, and use it to deal with ghosts.

It's a pity that things like Horcruxes are produced because the underworld gathers a large number of souls, and if there are so many souls gathered in the human world, how can it be so easy to produce Horcruxes.

Therefore, after about one or two hundred years, the number of people who have found Horcruxes is only so sporadic, and they have also been discovered by people in the Daomen, but there is a great limit to the use of Horcruxes.

That is, it cannot be used without a soul body, that is to say, a living person can take a weapon made of a Horcrux and attack a soul, but there is no effect, only the soul body can attack the soul body.

At this point, the people in the Daomen understood why the judge was so fearless and took Taizong Li Shiming to the Horcrux mining site to see the prototype of the Horcrux, because the human body cannot use the Horcrux at all.

At this point, the enthusiasm of cultivators to find Horcruxes gradually subsided, and later I heard that some people had inadvertently found Horcruxes, but because the usage was too frivolous, no one tried to verify the authenticity.

It's just one point, that is, the non-soul body can't play the real use of the Horcrux at all, but the puppet in front of Zhou Daoran actually took the Horcrux and cut the soul into several sections, Zhou Daoran thought that it should be the Onmyoji who sealed the soul into the puppet's body.

Moreover, after the Horcrux has caused damage to the soul, if the soul is not treated by special techniques, the damage to the soul is almost permanent and irreversible.

Zhou Daoran saw that not far away, the soul that was cut into several pieces by the puppet did not take long before it turned into ashes and disappeared in place.

Seeing this scene, the anger in Zhou Daoran's heart rose even more, and he decided to take the soul out of this place no matter what today.

Afterwards, Zhou Daoran immediately went to the other places to observe what other waves of Onmyoji were doing, so as to plan how to rescue these souls without alarming them for a while.

In the next few places, except for two tests, which made Zhou Daoran really unbearable, other places were still within the range of his patience.

In one place, the onmyoji each took out a remnant soul and fused these remnant souls with each other, as if they wanted to create a new soul.

But the result is nothing more than two, either the souls are incompatible, or the souls are fused to each other due to mutual exclusion, resulting in the new combined souls directly exploding and disappearing.

However, when the onmyoji saw this scene, they just nodded, then took out a pen and paper and wrote down some recorded experiences, and continued to take out new souls and began to try to fuse, not treating the souls of the people as living creatures at all.

As for the onmyoji on the other side, it was even more excessive, they each took out a soul and put it in front of them, and then they either cast a spell on the soul, or set up a formation on the soul, or even directly summoned Shikigami.

At first, there was no abnormality, and even Zhou Daoran was a little curious, could it be that the onmyoji had changed his sex? Or do they often do perverted tests and have a problem with their brains?

Zhou Daoran was thinking about it, when he saw one of the souls suddenly turn from white to black, and then turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared in place.

And that wasn't the end of it, before one soul turned into black smoke, and the other began to rot, and finally turned into a pool of foul-smelling muddy water.
