From the intermittent conversations between these people, Tang Li quickly sorted out what happened.

Yesterday, two men from the next town suddenly fell to the ground, both of whom were well-known local drunkards who were often heavy drinkers, and everyone thought they were drunk and unconscious as usual, so they told their families to take them back.

Unexpectedly, they didn't wake up the next day, no matter how they shouted, they couldn't wake up, they tried all kinds of methods, slapped their faces, splashed water, and didn't respond at all, but their breathing and heartbeat were still normal, and they couldn't find out why they called the doctor.

Later, a soul master passed by, and when he heard about this strange situation, he helped to check it, and then he found out the reason.

Their soul elements disappeared and became two empty shells.

In this world, the soul element is the source of power, and it is also the container of the soul, and after death, the soul element leaves the body, and the soul will be released from it.

The soul element can only be extracted after a person dies, and if the soul element of a living person is torn out, then the person will not be able to live.

So when this soul master said this, everyone didn't believe it at all, thinking that he was talking nonsense because they couldn't see the soul element.

These two people are obviously still alive, how can they still be alive if they really don't have the soul element?

Since the other party is a soul master, everyone dare not be unreasonable, so they can only be silent to express their disbelief.

Of course, the soul master was also puzzled by this situation, so he took a closer look at it, and then discovered a new situation.

Their soul element was not extracted, to be precise, it was more like it was destroyed, and someone used extremely cruel and strange means to destroy their soul element, because there was still a fragment of the soul element left in their body.

Destroying people's souls, but not killing each other, this method is even more vicious than killing them on the spot.

Although the two men did not die at that time, they could never wake up, could not eat, and finally starved to death.

After listening, Tang Li couldn't help frowning.

Drunk, soul element, passing soul master......

The key words kept echoing in her ears.

She suddenly thought of Ayu, weren't the two drunks who almost bumped into her and Ayu that day?

It can't be that coincidental, right? Could it be that she missed some important clue?

But what was the deal with this situation that directly destroyed the soul element but didn't make people die? She didn't seem to have set up such a cruel spiritual technique.

Could it be that her outline is not detailed enough, and the laws of this world automatically complete the setting?

She pricked up her ears to listen more closely to see if she could get more clues, but they moved on to other things.

"You must still have the impression of that kind soul master, it is the soul master who bought the deer. ”

"It turned out to be the soul master, since he spent a lot of money to buy the deer, many people have gone to the mountains to find the deer, but unfortunately I haven't seen the soul master to buy the deer for more than a month, I didn't expect him to really come again?

"No, I helped to see the situation of the two drunks, and it seems that they are leaving. ”

"It's a pity, those deer can't be sold. ”

Tang Li: "......"

The soul master who bought the deer more than a month ago is not Liao Yibai!

Judging from the words of these people, he really didn't catch Xiao Chen, so he can rest assured.

"That soul master is from the Zhuyi faction, I really wish my son could also wear the disciple uniform of the Zhuyi faction, just like an immortal. ”

"The disciple uniform is indeed very important, I think the Zhuyi faction and the Leyan faction are good, anyway, don't go to the Qifeng faction, I heard that the conditions over there are very poor, the whole sect is so poor that even the disciple uniform is very cold. ”

Hearing this, Tang Li was speechless again, how could she complain about the disciple's uniform? I remember that when she was a student in the past, when she was bored, she would also discuss the school uniforms of various schools with her classmates.

"But the Seven Peaks Sect has an advantage, they specialize in tracking and searching the spiritual arts, it is said that no matter where they escape, they can be found, if our children go to learn one or two tricks, even if they can't become powerful soul masters, they can find a job in the yamen when they come back in the future, and they will use the search spirit art, which will definitely be very popular." ”

"That's true, but I've heard that after being accepted as a disciple by the sect, you generally can't come back......

Spiritual art of tracking and searching?!

Tang Li's eyes couldn't help but light up, as if he saw a bright light rising on the dark road.

She knew what to do next.

☆☆☆

After buying the things, Tang Li immediately returned to the cave.

She hadn't found a chance before, so she hid back in the cave, transformed into a deer and observed, and sure enough, she found that if she became like this, the soul element would recover.

When transformed into a human form, the soul element becomes similar to an ordinary non-attribute soul element, but the color is slightly darker, and it is not as comfortable using the soul element as the animal form.

You've got to hurry up and make it stronger.

Thinking of this, Tang Li immediately sat down and began to try to absorb the aura around him, fortunately, although the state of the soul element was not good, it was still unambiguous to absorb the aura, but the aura kept pouring in, nourishing the soul element, but it was not brilliant at all.

It's like you'll never be able to get enough of it.

After a few cycles, Tang Li observed the soul element that had barely changed, and sighed depressedly: "It's really hard to serve. ”

She stretched her waist and walked out of the hole, where traces of her and Xiao Chen's life could still be seen, and almost all the things were left, the bamboo tubes and small bamboo baskets he made......

Reached out and picked up one of the small bamboo baskets, which Xiao Chen specially knitted for her, it originally fell on the edge of the lake, and Xiao Chen picked it up.

After meeting the red-haired spirit monkey before, Tang Li went to the lake to find the hateful aquatic weed, but the bottom of the lake was completely gone, and it slipped away quite quickly.

After that, Tang Li stayed here for two days, but unfortunately he couldn't wait for Xiao Chen to come back.

She decided not to wait any longer and took the initiative to go to him.

Tang Li made two preparations, turned his right hand back into a deer hoof, and then concentrated the power of the soul element on the right hoof, and pressed it hard into the stone at the entrance of the cave, leaving a message - the Seven Peaks Sect.

This is to prevent Xiao Chen from coming back and not finding her after a while.

She was going to go to the Seven Peaks Sect to find a soul master who could track spiritual arts to help find Xiao Chen's whereabouts, although it might take more than a month to go to the Seven Mountains Sect to find a soul master, but it was better than doing nothing and waiting for the sect to start talking.

She walked around the entrance of the cave a few times and saw the herb that Xiao Chen had given her as a reward - Xiao Chen left it here and didn't take it.

Speaking of which, this herb is also fateful, and it was lucky to survive when it was so fooled by Shi Qing.

Tang Li found the bamboo tube that Xiao Chen used to hold water before, dug out the herbs and soil, planted them in the bamboo tube, and prepared to take them away.

She handed the stone with the message engraved on it to the red-haired spirit monkey, told them to pay attention to this side, and if Xiao Chen came back, she would give him the stone, and then went down the mountain.
