Chapter 35: The Soul Compass

It is said that Ling Jingtian came to Baihe City this time to help Wu Hanlin get rid of Lin Yundi's entanglement, but unfortunately there was a great opportunity in front of him, but Lin Yundi took the opportunity to escape carelessly. www.biquge.infoFortunately, Lin Yundi has been seriously injured and lost the lower half of her body, and it will take a while to recover.

If she is like other ordinary evil spirits, without the ability to doppelganger, she will have no room to recover her body, and if she loses half of her body, she will lose it forever, and she will not want to grow it again in this life, just like a normal person's body. However, Ling Jingtian knew that Lin Yundi could clone herself, and she broke the back of her hand last time, and this time she also grew it back, and the chance of being able to regrow her lower body this time was of course very large.

Therefore, Ling Jingtian did not plan to sit and wait for Lin Yundi to come to the door, but took the initiative to attack, find her hiding place, and attack her unprepared. Due to the fact that the evil spirits are able to disguise themselves as normal humans during the day, all other special abilities are almost completely lost. It stands to reason that if you can find them during the day, it will be easy to eliminate them. It's just that at the same time as their ability is lost, their breath is also gone, unless they are really so fated to be touched, otherwise, they can definitely hide in the world safely during the day.

Ling Jingtian planned to start searching for Lin Yundi after nightfall, but Situ Feng, who was on the side, was very puzzled and asked:

"Uncle Ling, although we have to take the initiative, how can we know Lin Yundi's whereabouts? She was so badly injured last night that she may have gone far. ”

Ling Jingtian smiled slightly, felt his hand in his pocket, and took out a round object similar to a compass and placed it flat in his hand, Situ Feng stared at the round object and kept looking at it. I saw that its structure is similar to that of a compass, with gold characters on a black background on a copper surface, and two active disks inside and outside the plate, and eight directions written on the inner disk: east, south, west, north, southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest. The outer disk reads: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Ji, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Shu, Hai twelve big characters, Situ Feng guessed that this may correspond to the corresponding time, and there is a circular groove about two centimeters in diameter in the middle of the disk.

Although it was extremely similar to a compass, Situ Feng found that there was no compass-like pointer in the middle of the disc, and he took the disc from Ling Jingtian's hand, and the inner disc on the disc rotated with the change in the direction of the disc, while the outer disc did not rotate with the inner disc.

Ling Yixi smiled on the side and didn't speak, Situ Feng looked at Ling Yixi in confusion and then at Ling Jingtian, and asked:

"Uncle Ling, what is this thing? Is it a compass? Or are we going to see Feng Shui? ”

Ling Yixi sneered on the side, took the disc in Situ Feng's hand, and said:

"It does have the role of pointing directions, but it's not a compass and it can't be used to read Feng Shui. The name of this thing is the Spirit Compass, and it is used to track evil spirits. ”

As soon as Situ Feng heard the name, he felt that this thing was powerful, but he didn't know how to use it, so he took back the compass from Ling Yixi's hand, flipped it over and looked at it, but still didn't see the reason, so he asked:

"How is this thing going to track down evil spirits? There is no compass-like pointer, only a small groove in the middle. ”

Ling Yixi looked at Ling Jingtian with a smile, Ling Jingtian stepped forward and took the upside-down compass in Situ Feng's hand, and said:

"We'll act at night, and you'll know how to use it then. I'll prepare the items I'm going to use tonight, so do you."

After finishing speaking, he returned to the room, in fact, the so-called room was actually Situ Feng's room, because there were only two rooms at home, Brother Feng generously gave his bedroom to Ling Jingtian and Wu Hanlin last night, and he contracted the living room. At that time, Situ Feng thought to himself that it would be great if Xiaoxi took the initiative to share his room with him, but it was just an impossible fantasy to think that everything was impossible.

After nightfall, the four of them were dressed up and ready to go, Ling Jingtian originally wanted Wu Hanlin to rest without going, but considering Lin Yundi's doppelganger ability, he still couldn't rest assured that he was at home alone, and in the end he could only let him go together. Ling Jingtian took out the Spirit Search Compass in front of everyone and placed it flat on his left hand, then took out a thumb-sized thing and put it in the depression in the center of the compass, and covered the groove with his index and middle fingers, and closed his eyes and whispered a few times.

I saw a "snort" in the center of the compass, and a puff of smoke overflowed from Ling Jingtian's hand, he removed his fingers, and a pointer appeared in the middle of the compass, and the inner and outer disks of the compass began to rotate continuously with the pointer. Situ Feng and Wu Hanlin both showed surprised expressions, but Ling Yixi was the only one who was calm. Situ Feng couldn't suppress his curiosity, so he asked:

"Uncle Ling, what did you put in the middle of the compass just now? Why do you become a pointer when you recite a mantra? What's going on with this compass going all the time? ”

The compass in Ling Jingtian's hand also stopped rotating at this time, and the pointer pointed to the southeast of the inner disk and the Chen of the outer disk. Ling Jingtian looked at the square compass in his hand, frowned and said:

"What I put in the center of the compass just now is the minced meat taken from Lin Yundi's wreckage, because if you want to use the spirit compass to track the evil spirit, you need any part of the evil spirit's body as an introduction, and the introduction will turn into a pointer through the corresponding spell to guide us to the direction of the evil spirit."

Although Situ Feng understood everything, he still didn't figure out how the compass guided the direction of the evil spirit, what the principle was, and looked at Ling Jingtian with a puzzled face. Ling Jingtian looked at Situ Feng's face, smiled slightly, pointed to the compass in his hand, and said:

"You see, the compass is divided into an inner disk and an outer disk, the inner disk refers to the direction, and the outer disk refers to the time, you can guess it, but you don't know what the combination represents. In fact, every part separated from the body of the evil spirit will have a faint breath of the evil spirit, even if it is a small piece of minced meat, the breath will remain, so I just used a small piece of minced meat belonging to Lin Yundi as an introduction. When the introduction turns into a compass pointer, it points to the direction where the evil spirit's breath is strongest. However, the compass can detect within a hundred miles, so the time of the outer disk of the compass indicates the time when the strongest breath of the evil spirit last appeared. The combination of the inner and outer disks expresses the meaning of the last time and place when the strongest aura of the evil spirit appears. For example, Lin Yundi can create a clone to appear in multiple places, and the compass will only point to the direction where the aura is strongest. ”

Situ Feng suddenly opened his mouth at this time, sighed, and said:

"Then now according to the pointing of the compass, we can know that Lin Yundi finally appeared in the southeast, and the time is Chenshi, right?"

Ling Jingtian smiled and nodded, Situ Feng still had questions, and then asked:

"Then how do I know if it's yesterday's hour or today's hour? Maybe it was the time of the day last year! ”

Ling Jingtian seemed to have expected Situ Fengfeng to have such a question, and replied with a calm expression:

"The prototype of this soul search compass first appeared more than a thousand years ago, when the ancestor made it for real-time tracking of evil spirits, and the range is very wide, the whereabouts of evil spirits can be detected within a radius of 100 miles, and the introduction needs to be obtained from evil spirits, so the last time to detect evil spirits will not be too long ago. And we got the introduction from Lin Yundi last night, and the current compass points to the southeast Chen, which also represents the last time Lin Yundi appeared in the southeast, and it is not yet seven o'clock, that is, it is less than Chenshi, so the time is Chenshi last night. Do you understand that? ”

Situ Feng felt that this seemed to make sense, and nodded to understand, and Wu Hanlin, who was on the side, also seemed to understand, Ling Yixi was already commonplace, and it was also very clear.

A moment later, the group grabbed their belongings and drove southeast.
