Chapter 63: Searching for the Soul Man
It's just that the beetle demon venom that has not yet dissipated in the air, the few soulless corpses crawling at her feet, and the glittering spiritual power condensed in her hand all show that what she has experienced before has really happened.
The strange woman who had the venom of the snake demon that made the ancients forbidden the arts, and was seriously injured but was able to escape by a method she didn't even know existed, was real.
Ling Sushuang's mood finally improved, but under this cognition, it suddenly became bad again.
Since everything that had happened before was true, it meant that not only did she let a strange woman who had been badly injured by her escape from under her nose, but she also had to clean up the scene for the escaped stranger, so that the corpses would not be sheltered by the invisible ghosts and ghosts in the wild.
“……”
Ling Sushuang looked around, holding back and holding back, and finally held back the swear words that were about to blurt out.
"Where is the land of Yuquan Mountain?"
Ling Sushuang held one hand behind her back, and the other hand condensed a small bundle of spiritual power towards the ground, and the words she said before turned into a few flickering characters, and went to the ground with that bundle of spiritual power.
Before long, an old man dressed in fancy clothes emerged from the ground. The old man was wearing a yellow jacket embroidered with flowers and trees, a gourd on his head was funny, and his long beard was almost hanging to the ground, but he didn't care, just hurriedly knelt down towards Ling Sushuang with the cane in his hand.
Ling Sushuang didn't stop him, and only after the land was finished worshipping did he stretch out his hand and help him, and motioned for the land to stand up: "Do you know that you have a snake demon in Yuquan Mountain?" ”
The land trembled slightly, and made another series, and said respectfully: "Tell the gods, the little gods don't know." But as far as the little god knows, this Yuquan Mountain up and down and even hundreds of miles outside the mountain, not to mention the snake demon, even a snake spirit with some cultivation has never been seen, if according to the god king, there is really a snake demon to haunt it, it is also from other places to come to Yuquan Mountain, not under the jurisdiction of the little god. ”
Ling Sushuang felt strange when she heard this, raised her eyebrows and asked in a harmonious voice: "What you said is interesting, why is the snake demon from elsewhere not in your charge?" ”
The land patted the gourd on his head, and made a series again: "The god monarch doesn't know, since the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain has the demon king raccoon, the two worlds of immortals and demons have officially established their own rules of managing each other and not invading each other, and all the demons who have some ability have been recalled to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain to be controlled by the demon king, and without the permission of the demon king, they can't get out of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain." As for those little demons who don't have any skills, anyway, they can't be a disaster because they are low and weak, so they all stay in place and are supervised by the local land gods. ”
"If, according to what the Divine Monarch said, there is a snake demon making waves in Yuquan Mountain, it means that the snake demon must not be an idle person. The little god remembers that there are clear regulations in the demon world, all demons who are full of thousands of years must meet the demon king, and the ten thousand demon mountains will hold a thousand-year-old demon meeting ceremony every hundred years, and the demon king has also made a register of the demon clan, from the time he is about to become an immortal to the one who has just experienced the thunder tribulation and turned into a human form, it will be recorded, so this audience ceremony, but all the demon who reaches the age of a thousand years old will go to participate, and no demon dares to disobey. ”
"And after the audience ceremony, and those demons who have the ability, the demon king will meet one by one, except for those who have special karma and can leave with the permission of the demon king, the rest have to stay on the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain." The land stroked his beard and said, looking at Ling Sushuang's face carefully as he spoke: "It is precisely because of this that all demons who can walk in the mortal world and have extraordinary abilities must be allowed by the demon king." And for these demons, the little god has the heart to manage, and he doesn't have the power to manage. ”
The land said sincerely, and Ling Sushuang couldn't blame him when he heard it, and after thinking about it, he just raised his hand and ordered him to dispose of the corpses on the side.
After instructing the land on the follow-up matters of this matter, Ling Sushuang did not stay longer, and immediately returned to the building where he was resting.
This matter is late at night, and the watchman has already played the fifth watch. Ling Sushuang stood on the corridor for a while, and after making sure that Ji Liuhuo and Nan Ying had rested at this time, he returned to the house.
Ling Sushuang thought that she was restless and might not be able to fall asleep while lying on the bed, but who knew that after she finished cleaning up, she would fall asleep as soon as she touched the bed.
The next morning, Nan Hotaru woke her up. She got up a little late, and it was almost noon after she hastily cleaned herself, and Ji Liuhuo also came back with Tanuki, but still found nothing.
Ling Sushuang sat aside and listened to Ji Liuhuo tell them about going out in the morning, and then listened to Nan Ying say something about the snake demon poison in the air, and then he carefully opened his mouth to tell the story of last night, of course, except for the part that summoned the land god of Yuquan Mountain.
Hearing this, Tanuki frowned slightly, lowered his head and pondered for a while before he spoke: "If I guessed correctly, it is very likely that what you met is a soul man. ”
"Soul Man?"
Nan Ying and Ling Sushuang asked in unison, and then glanced at each other again.
Ling Sushuang took the lead in looking away, looking at Tanuki Zhi with a little puzzlement in his eyes, and although Ji Liuhuo didn't say much, he didn't hide his doubts.
"The soul man is not a soul, nor a person, but a new individual condensed from a soul. When a person dies, the obsession is too deep, and the three souls in the body will be tightly bound so that they are not taken away by the soul seducer, and in the body of the deceased are pulled by the obsession and integrated into one, and then separated from the deceased and turned into an illusory human form, and then controlled by the obsession to give birth to seven emotions and six desires, that is, the soul person. ”
"Although the form of the soul man is illusory, it is no different from ordinary people, but it can only walk in the night, and cannot appear in the daytime. Moreover, soul people feed on souls, devour souls to nourish their power, cultivate soul power, and refine soul arts. It is the lowest level of soul art, and it can also be compared with the middle immortal art of the heavenly realm. ”
"The soul man is independent of the world, not belonging to any of the demons, demons, and ghosts, the more souls they devour, the stronger their soul power will be, and when their soul power reaches the state of perfection, they can re-transform into real people and return to the world, that is, they are immortal, as the name suggests, they are not injured or destroyed, and they are not bound by birth, old age, sickness and death in the world." Tanuki said softly.
"If you say so, wouldn't that be a violation of the Heavenly Dao?" Nan Yingqi said, "Even the ancient gods and clans can't escape the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, why can't they be so if they don't die?" ”
"Because whether the soul person wants to cross into an immortal or not, he will cross by himself at a certain time. If the time arises early, the soul person will be forcibly transformed due to insufficient soul power storage and the soul will be scattered, and if it is too late, he will die violently due to too much soul power storage and unknowingly. As far as I know, there is no soul in this world that can appear at the right time to make him become immortal and escape this cycle of life and death. Tanuki said with a smile, "Besides, it's not just casual obsession that can turn into a soul person, most of them will only be like Xu Shiyan, generating demons, and the soul person who is reborn not only has a deep obsession, but also has a special body." Among the millions of dead people in this world, there may not be a soul person. ”
Although Ling Sushuang understood the soul man, he still had a puzzle in his heart: "Why can I seriously injure that soul man, but I can't catch her with the spirit net?" ”
"Although a soul person is not a soul or a person, it can appear in two forms, one is a soul and the other is a human. You took advantage of her unpreparedness to attack her, and at that time she appeared in the form of a human being, so she would have been injured by you, and by the time you tried to catch her, she had already turned into a soul form. However, her soul form can not be controlled by the spirit net, and presumably that soul must have practiced magic before her death. ”
Ling Sushuang finally relieved all the doubts in his heart at this time, and his face when he looked at everyone was a little lighter: "If you are not mistaken, that soul man should have been poisoned by the snake demon before he died, and the poison invaded the soul when he transformed and became one with it. And the poisonous aura of the beetle snake demon in this Yuquan Mountain must be inseparable from the soul man. ”
Tanuki nodded: "Soul people will fall into a deep sleep during the day, and they will only come out at night. It's just that even if we can find her at night, there is no way to capture her. ”
Nan Hotaru smiled: "Since we can't catch her at night, why don't we go and look for her during the day?" As long as she's asleep, she'll always have a space. ”
"This is easy to do, the soul man will return to the body of the deceased during the day, so if you want to find the soul person, just look for her corpse before her death." Tanuki praised, and then asked with some embarrassment: "However, this Yuquan Mountain is so big, and there are only four of us, I am afraid it is not easy to find a female corpse that does not know the year." ”
"Looking for a woman's corpse? Why do we have to do it ourselves, just hand it over to the land. ”
Ling Sushuang didn't care, and then, just like last night, he easily summoned the land and explained the matter of finding the woman's corpse.
However, although Ling Sushuang said that it was easy, the actual operation was not as smooth as she said.
Because the search for the corpse cannot be known to the soul people, it can only be carried out during the day, and in order to prevent leakage, only the land and a few of his trusted subordinates will do this, plus Nan Ying, Tanuki, Ji Liuhuo and Ling Sushuang.
At first, the land was ordered, but he just led his subordinates, taking the flat land where Ling Sushuang found the soul man as the midpoint, digging three feet in a radius of 100 miles and searching everywhere.
Although they did find some female corpses during this period, and many of them died of snake venom, it was strange that none of them died of snake demon venom.
Ling Sushuang couldn't, so he had to increase the search range of the land, but everyone didn't know how big this range should be, so they had to search the entire Yuquan Mountain inside and out.
It's just that this Yuquan Mountain lies at the junction of the central and northwest regions, and the mountain stretches for thousands of miles, completely separating the two places from the middle and the west.
