"Daddy! What are you doing? ”

Xi Lin shouted at the two old men, and immediately rushed over to support me. But the Seventh Master flashed in front of us in a blink of an eye, and with a slight wave of his sleeve, Xi Lin was fanned by the Seventh Master like a feather and fell backwards and far away, and I fell backwards to the ground without support.

The pain in my back was bone-chilling, and I felt as if I had suddenly returned to the night I was stabbed with a sword a year ago. I couldn't even exert the slightest strength in my body, and it was very difficult to even lift my head. I could only lie there, looking vaguely at the eighth master who was standing not far away and watching coldly, and the ghosts who abandoned me.

"Daddy!"

Xi Lin, who was thrown far away, struggled to get up, but he only shouted this sentence, and was knocked to the ground again by the eighth master, and he couldn't get up again.

"Why are you ...... so suddenly? Take my life...... Taken back? I asked with gritted teeth and with the last of my strength, but my voice was so small that I couldn't hear it clearly.

The seventh master walked around in front of me at this time, bent over and giggled at me again, and then gently shook his left hand in front of me, and my eyes instantly turned black. It felt like I had passed out, and the pain and weakness in my body disappeared along with it.

There was nothing but darkness around me, I couldn't see anything, I couldn't hear anything, I couldn't even perceive the presence of my own body, only the frightening endless void.

Jingle bells!

I don't know how long later, a faint brass bell broke the dead silence.

Jingle bells!

There was another sound, and at the same time I felt a faint light gradually illuminate the space around me. I felt my body again, but I still couldn't move at all, I couldn't tell the difference between up and down, left and right, and I felt as if I was floating in the void.

"Yin and Yang Dao, Tao Yin and Yang, people are dead and impermanent. Not for ghosts, not for gods. The hearts of the people are there, and the lives are not hurt. The bell is in the yin, the soul is in the yang, return to the world, and solve the confusion. Life is not happy, death is not sad, those who have faith will be vicissitudes! ”

With that deep voice, the Black Impermanence Eighth Master floated in front of me, spreading out his left hand to reveal a brass bell the size of an egg.

My body still didn't listen to me at all, but my bare left arm stretched out uncontrollably towards the bell. The moment the bell touched the broken arm, it suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and at the same time, a crisp brass bell actually echoed in my mind. With this soft sound, my whole body quickly regained consciousness from the beginning of my arm. Then, I was amazed to see that my left arm had miraculously recovered!

There doesn't seem to be gravity in this empty space, and although my body can move, I can only continue to rotate and float without any focal point. And when I turned my gaze to the eighth master again, I found that his left hand was empty.

"The bell ......"

Before I could finish speaking, the eighth master raised his hand and pointed at my left arm, and I quickly glanced at my reborn arm and tried to move.

This is obviously not the arm that Poor Strange has conjured up anymore, because I don't feel the strange power that has nothing to do with me. And this arm gave me a sense of familiarity that I hadn't felt in a long time. It's as if it were my own hand.

"Yes, that's your own hand." The eighth master seems to be able to see all my thoughts, in one sentence.

"What the hell is ...... Could it be that I've ...... "My mind was in a mess, everything had just happened so fast, I wasn't sure what had happened until now, and I didn't want to say that last word lightly."

Fan Po said that the white impermanence yang bell is taken by the living, and the black impermanence yin bell is taken by the dead. Now that the eighth master has given me the yin bell, does it mean that I have ...... He's dead?

Thinking of this, I carefully recalled what the eighth master said just now before passing on my soul bell, although I have an average level of education, and I only know a little about ancient texts and poetry, but there is one sentence I still remember very clearly - people's hearts are there, and life is not hurt!

Does this mean that as long as I don't do bad things and don't lose people's hearts, my life can still be saved?

"Am I not completely dead? Is there still salvation? "This time, I didn't wait for the eighth master to come to read the mind, and asked him directly.

"What do you think is life and what is death?" The eighth master didn't answer, but asked me a rhetorical question.

"The body is completely dead...... Probably. The eighth master stumped me again, and I could only answer vaguely. Although the state of the white-clothed ancestor also reminds me of an old man who has lived for a thousand years, after all, he has no body, only a soul and no soul, which should be regarded as dead.

"What about your physical body?" The eighth master continued to ask.

I frowned, then quickly touched my heart. I could feel my heartbeat clearly, and I was still breathing, and I touched my back again, and although the blood was not dry, the wound on my body seemed to be completely healed.

"So you mean, I'm actually still alive?" I asked.

"That's a question for yourself." After speaking, the eighth master waved his sleeves at me. The darkness around me vanished in an instant, and I was back in the courtyard in front of the Impermanence Residence.

Xi Lin was standing not far away looking at me with a surprised expression, and I looked back at him in the same surprise, because I could now clearly see a shallow white light wrapped around Xi Lin's right hand, and a reddish light on his left hand. It seems that after I got the Soul Bell, I could see something special as well.

However, when I looked at my left hand, I didn't see the white light on Xi Lin's hand, which made me a little puzzled. Macro on the central technique.

At this time, the Seventh Master walked towards me, and the Shikiki who had just been taken away from me also came to me with him.

"The underworld doesn't care about the affairs of the underworld, if you have to ask me to get back all the things that originally belonged to the underworld, then I'm afraid they all have to stay here." The seventh master raised his eyebrows and said with a blood-red mouth.

"It's me who is too much of an inch." I quickly bowed my head and admitted my mistake.

"Forget it, don't worry too much about that. But your idea of a war between gods and demons really doesn't work, how to deal with it, you better think of other ways, anyway, now that the bell has been handed over to you, it's up to you how to use it. Xi Lin, you'll teach him the spell later, but don't be greedy, start from the basics little by little. The Seventh Master said to Xi Lin.

"Yes." Xi Lin nodded in agreement, and then finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After getting all the ghosts back, I asked the two impermanence masters if I could still move in the daytime now, and if the sunlight would have any effect on me.

The seventh master replied, my current situation is not much different from before, but I have replaced the life extension with a soul bell.

That's definitely a big step up for me! Later, let Xi Lin teach me a few dark spells, and with the ghost path spell, I may also have the capital to compete with the "gods".

Compared to my own progress, the miscarriage of the God and Demon War plan still makes me a little frustrated. As for why this method doesn't work, the answers given by the two impermanence masters are always vague, listening to their meaning, it seems that God himself lives in hell, and we thought that it could lead to a war between gods and demons, but it turned out that it just created another path for God to go home.

But in any case, I am extremely grateful to the two old men.

Next, under the guidance of Xi Lin, I learned a few spells to summon spirits and lead ghosts to open the spiritual path. In the process of learning, the two old men also told me that the soul bell, whether it is a yin bell or a yang bell, is essentially a yin underworld, and after holding the soul bell, you can no longer use any yang spells, that is to say, in addition to the ghost path mantra in the future, the five elements mantra, the big golden light mantra, and even the nine-character mantra talisman that I practiced before can no longer be used.

Fortunately, the Five Elements Spell was not my strong point in the first place, and I have been relying more and more on the Ghost Dao Charm lately, so the impact of the Soul Bell on me is almost negligible, but I need to pay a little attention to the way I use my left arm, after all, it can't help me block bullets now.

After learning the basic things and becoming proficient, Xi Lin and I said goodbye to the two old men. By the time we returned to the sun, the sun was already overhead.

I called Xiao Ai first and told him that Zhang Zuo's plan to fight gods and demons wouldn't work at all, but I didn't let Xiao Ai kill him immediately, after all, this person has done a lot of research on the three-eyed eyes, and maybe when we come up with any new ideas, we will need him as technical support.

Then I called Weiwei again, wanting to ask if there was anything wrong with her family, but Weiwei didn't give me a chance to speak, and after picking up the phone, she immediately hurriedly asked, "Do you know Professor Zhao Hongjun?" ”

"Yes, what's wrong?" I asked curiously.

"Gao Xia contacted me this morning, and he asked me to tell you that Zhao Hongjun's research on the soul should be able to help us. I've read a lot of Professor Zhao's papers, and his point of view is very original, but I think he may have some reservations when he publishes the article, after all, there are some things that cannot be said casually without supporting the evidence. If we can find him in person, perhaps some of his views will inspire us. Vivi explained.

"I don't remember his phone number, you ...... again"

"Gao Xia said that he couldn't call! He asked you to go directly to the university to find Zhao Hongjun, in the school where you first met and was full of shareholders. He deliberately emphasized that if Zhao Hongjun was notified by phone in advance, he might make some preparations, which would be a little unfavorable to us. Vivi interrupted.

"Okay, anyway, his school is not too far from here, and Xi Lin and I went directly over there to find him. Are you okay at home? I asked.

"It's okay, everyone is safe, Qiyue is helping me contact the people of the festival, and Old Man Qi has already promised to help." Vivi said.

"Great! Let's get them ready first, I'll go to Zhao Hongjun right away, whether there is a harvest or not, and when we come back, we will contact them to hold another Dharma meeting, and then we will discuss countermeasures together. I said.

"Okay, so let them come over the day after tomorrow?" Vivi said.

"Okay, the morning after tomorrow, you can arrange the location."

Weiwei and I agreed on the meeting time, and then set off with Xi Lin to rush to Zhao Hongjun's university.
