Chapter 182: Soul Explosion
However, after all, this was a choice made by the Charm Demon Clan, and Zhou Daoran only shook his head and sighed, and did not think of helping them solve this problem.
Besides, even if Zhou Daoran wanted to help them solve it, this was not something that Zhou Daoran could decide alone, so Zhou Daoran just thought about it.
And after Naoji Ando explained all this to Zhou Daoran, her mood was indeed much more stable, and then Zhou Daoran comforted her a few words, and asked her to wait for him to come back obediently in this formation, as long as she didn't make a sound, no one outside would be able to find Zhou Daoran when she came out.
Given that he did cause a lot of trouble to Zhou Daoran just now, and now that he has entered the door, Zhou Daoran is also in front of him, and there will be no more accidents.
After thinking about it, Naoji Ando agreed to Zhou Daoran's request, and he obediently stayed where he was, waiting for Zhou Daoran to come back.
Next, I saw Zhou Daoran holding the compass while twisting his steps lightly, and cautiously walked towards several waves of onmyoji small groups not far away.
Zhou Daoran took a closer look, only to find that a handful of onmyoji had placed a small magic circle in front of him, and the middle of the magic circle seemed to be imprisoned by something.
Seeing this, Zhou Daoran immediately closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he saw that there was just an illusory figure in the empty space in the middle of the magic circle.
After discovering this fact, Zhou Daoran was shocked, but he didn't dare to startle the snake, so he had to be patient and observe what these onmyoji were doing.
Afterwards, I saw these onmyoji figures rubbing this phantom, as if they wanted to integrate this soul into the small formation in front of them.
Zhou Daoran was quite puzzled by this, it stands to reason that it is not very common to use the soul as the eye of the formation, but this is at least the method of arranging the formation that every formation mage must learn, why do they still have to do such a meaningless experiment here?
However, Zhou Daoran didn't think about this question for long, and then he found something strange, it turned out that it was not that the onmyoji couldn't integrate this soul into the magic array, but that they had just sent the soul into it, and they were rejected by the formation.
In this regard, after thinking for a while, Zhou Daoran came to a conclusion that the imprisoned souls in the small formation should not be the complete three souls and seven souls, but the remnant souls.
Only by using the broken soul as the eye of the formation will the matter of the magic circle rejecting the soul, but since they know that this will not work, why should they do it.
It is also due to the fact that the supply of souls with wisdom exceeds the demand, and it was said before that if you use souls with wisdom as the eyes of the formation, it will naturally have a lot of benefits.
But there are souls with intelligence, and at this stage, apart from human souls, there are no options such as divine beasts and immortals.
Therefore, how to break a complete three souls and seven souls into eight petals has become a problem that many array mages are thinking about.
Because after splitting the soul, it is necessary to ensure that the soul still has a certain amount of spiritual intelligence, which can maintain the operation of the formation according to the requirements of the formation mage, and also to ensure that this incomplete soul will not be rejected by the formation.
Since the use of human souls as array eyes is listed as taboo by orthodox Daomen, the study of using damaged souls as array eyes is rarely tried.
I didn't expect Zhou Daoran to touch it, and the onmyoji actually successfully studied a formation, that is, the secret passage that Zhou Daoran and Ando Naoji walked down, and the formation encountered was not the remnant soul of one of the wounded people as the eye of the formation.
Fortunately, the research on the soul as the eye of the array did not have any loss for the soul, so Zhou Daoran was not in a hurry to find a way to rescue this broken soul for a while.
Instead, he moved on to the other waves of Onmyoji, intending to see what they were doing.
Next, I saw four onmyoji, placing a soul in the middle, standing on one side in each of the four directions, south, east, west, and north, and at the same time reaching out and constantly making gestures on the soul, as if drawing some spells towards the soul.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Daoran couldn't help but be surprised, thinking that the onmyoji was really powerful, and he could even think of trying to draw a spell in his soul.
Generally speaking, things like charms are not rootless, and need to be drawn on some actual objects, such as rune paper, skin, bones, walls, ......
As for the volley drawing talisman mentioned by the Great Sword King Wu before, as well as the soul body talisman that the Onmyoji is trying now, these are all methods that have been cultivated after several generations of immersion, and they have cost a lot of manpower and material resources, and how can the Onmyoji be able to experiment casually now!
Especially the soul body talisman, there are extremely strict requirements for the caster, if the caster is slightly inappropriate, the light is that the soul can not leave a spell on the soul, and the heavy one will make the soul explode directly.
However, if the Onmyoji practice now, the only advantage is that they have a large number of Chinese souls, which can be used as test subjects, even if they cast the wrong spell, they will have other souls as a backup for the soul explosion.
It's just that in this way, it is a kind of loss to the souls of the people, not to mention that the bodies of these souls are still there, just the soul explosion is already equivalent to the soul scattering.
If the souls are scattered, those souls will not even have the chance to be reincarnated, which is not cruel to innocent people.
Zhou Daoran was thinking about it, only to hear a "bang", and the soul surrounded by four onmyoji suddenly caused an explosion.
Zhou Daoran secretly screamed in his heart, and a spirit turned his head to look, only to see that the soul that was originally in the middle had disappeared, and it seemed that it should be due to the improper spell cast by the onmyoji, and the soul exploded.
Next, I saw that the four onmyoji didn't care, and very skillfully took out another soul and placed it in the middle, and then began the mechanical experiment.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Daoran was very angry in his heart, seeing them so calm, he didn't know how many innocent souls they had killed.
Zhou Daoran then turned to the other side, only to see that the onmyoji on the other side imprisoned the soul in front of him, and at the same time manipulated a puppet in a kimono, holding a jet-black short knife, and stepped forward to block Zhou Daoran's sight, Zhou Daoran looked at the back, the puppet should be waving a knife at the soul.
And every time the puppet swung the short knife, Zhou Daoran saw that the soul trembled, and at the same time, he seemed to hear the screams from the soul as if he had nothing to hear.
For a while, Zhou Daoran thought that he had auditory hallucinations, if it weren't for the fact that the puppet left Zhou Daoran's sight after wielding the short knife, and he saw that the soul was divided into several large sections, Zhou Daoran would also be incredulous.
