Chapter 106: Soul Swallowing
"You must have been doing a lustful thing last night, right?"
The next day, Lingyu's little head popped out of the corner of the wall and looked at Xiao Yan with disdain. Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, he held the door frame with one hand, and walked out tremblingly with one hand on his waist.
Before leaving, he did not forget to close the door.
"Why are you scurrying around here?" Xiao Yan looked at Lingyu and asked.
"Uncle Soul allowed it, he told an old man, I can go anywhere here." Lingyu came out of the corner, and she stood in front of Xiao Yan with some embarrassment, her eyes secretly looking at him.
Lingyu wore a plain white dress today, with a dark brown belt tied around her waist, a pair of bear socks and a pair of black flats under her feet, simple, with a flower on top of her head that she didn't know where to pick it.
"Where's Sister Xian'er?" Lingyu stood on tiptoe and looked over Xiao Yan's broad shoulders into the room. "Still sleeping? I want her to accompany me to the city today. ”
"She can't get out of bed for the time being, she needs to rest." Xiao Yan stretched out his hand, pressed Lingyu's head, and pressed the girl who suddenly became acquainted for some reason back to the ground.
"Is that so?" Lingyu was a little lost, although her father allowed her to play outside for ten months, but she had almost no people here, and she had a natural sense of closeness to Xiao Yixian, a sister who seemed to be gentle.
"Alas" Xiao Yan sighed lightly and withdrew his hand. "Have you had breakfast?"
"No, I couldn't find out where the cafeteria is." Lingyu's face turned slightly red, the Soul Hall was the one who arranged someone to take care of her, but the Soul Palace, as an organization with a very high entry threshold, did not have such a thing as a canteen. So the thing that was sent to the stomach was just a bottle of Bigu Dan.
"You can't expect a group of Dou Sects to open a cafeteria for you to stir-fry and eat, right?" Xiao Yan was amused by Lingyu, and after motioning for her to follow, he led the way in front.
There should be a cafeteria in the outsourced black alliance headquarters of the Black Horn Domain Soul Palace, but Xiao Yan obviously had no intention of wronging himself, so he walked out of the door with Lingyu and went straight to a breakfast shop.
It's still early in the morning, and there aren't many pedestrians on the street, but there are a lot of people in this shop.
"Three cages of crab roe buns, two dine-in, one packed, and two bowls of spicy soup!" The shopkeeper shouted at the back kitchen.
"Wait......." Lingyu stood on tiptoe and squinted at what a guest was eating in the corner, a golden brown cake cut into strips and garnished with minced garlic. I want another copy of that! ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then reacted, nodded, and then shouted to the back kitchen: "Another fried cake!" ”
"Eat so much in the morning?" Xiao Yan casually found a place and sat down.
"I might have eaten it." Lingyu was full of joy, she sat down opposite Xiao Yan, dangling her legs in the air, and said proudly.
"Tsk." Xiao Yan looked Lingyu's barren body up and down and teased. "That's right, after all, I'm growing my body."
"Hmph"
It was really a great morning, Lingyu secretly looked at Xiao Yan who was sitting in front of her, the sun hit Xiao Yan, the well-proportioned and solid teenager took the fast child and tasted the food she had never eaten before, and the soft facial lines of the teenager were better than every boy she had ever seen. Although she had never seen many boys of her age in the spirit realm, most of them had gloomy personalities, and before they reached adulthood, they would turn into the twisted monsters that surrounded the main hall.
Although this guy was cold when they first met, now they have a little more temperature.
It's just a pity to have a girlfriend.
And I don't have long days.......
"Take a small bite before eating, drink the soup first, and then eat the meat." After the crab roe buns came up, Xiao Yan told Lingyu.
Before Lingyu's sadness could condense, she came back to her senses from her thoughts and looked at the food in front of her with a happy face.
"Good!"
What a cute girl.
After Xiao Yan satisfied her appetite, she watched Lingyu feast in front of her, as she said before, she was really able to eat.
The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, and whenever Lingyu shouted the sentence "One more cage", he hurriedly ran to the back kitchen and brought out another basket of crab roe buns.
When the cages on the table were already piled up to a meter high, Lingyu wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said with some embarrassment: "I'm full." ”
"If you can't eat enough, the crab roe buns made this morning will all go into your stomach." Xiao Yan paid for breakfast happily, and the two of them walked out, and before leaving, they also brought a packed crab roe bun.
"However, after eating the breakfast I invited, you owe me a favor, and you have to help me do things." Xiao Yan said.
"You say! As long as I can do it. Lingyu reminisced about the taste in her mouth and patted her flat chest.
Xiao Yan handed the packed crab roe buns to Lingyu and said, "Help me send this to Xian'er, she mentioned this bun to me before, saying that she really wants to eat it." ”
"Wrap it up on me!" Lingyu took the bun and suddenly said seriously. "Brother Xiao Yan, you are so good to Sister Xian'er."
"Just bring a meal." Xiao Yan touched his nose, and the corners of his mouth curved a little.
"No one has ever brought me food." Lingyu was a little angry, and kicked the stone on the side of the road fiercely.
.............
In the basement library of the branch hall of the Soul Palace, on the innermost floor, Xiao Yan and Qin Tianzun were standing in front of an ancient classic.
This is the place where the Soul Hall stores the ancient secrets, and unlike many people think, some of the secrets of the Soul Hall are not stored in Zhongzhou, but placed in the Black Corner Domain Branch Hall. Regarding this strange practice, there were also doubts when Elder Qin Tianzun took over this branch hall.
In his opinion, although the classics here are only records of ancient times, and have nothing to do with the current Douqi Continent, after all, it is also one of the secrets, how can it be placed so casually in the Black Horn Domain Branch?
"Yan Protector, this is a book about the secrets of the Spirit Devouring Clan, but I want to remind you that although you can take it away, you still have to be careful when keeping it." Qin Tianzun stood in front of the classic book with his hands in his hands, squinting at it. "After all, this book is a bit weird, even those Dharma protectors at the peak of the Dou Sect don't like to turn it over very much, to be honest, I only turned it over once, and I don't want to touch it again."
"Elder Xie Zun reminded me, I will pay attention." Xiao Yan carefully looked at this classic.
It's big compared to the average book. It was about the size of a table, and if he didn't even know its identity in advance, Xiao Yan would have regarded it as a door panel that had been removed.
The cover is quite unpretentious, and it should have been protected, otherwise no classic book can be unbroken for ten thousand years.
"Soul Swallowing Record, this is a history book written 10,000 years ago, written by an ancient family that has disappeared, and later collected by a strong man of the soul clan, lost once in the middle, and later found in a lonely tomb in the Black Horn Domain. It's just that at this time, it already has some strange phenomena, and the strong man who excavated the lonely tomb claimed that the book contained the truth of the world, in order to sell it for a good price.
But in fact, the strong man was quickly intercepted and killed, and the classics also fell into the hands of the nascent Soul Palace.
Which Soul Clan powerhouse once collected this book, and Soul Extinction has not been found, almost no Soul Clan's Dou Shengsheng powerhouse is interested in a history book, maybe the strong person who collected it has long since died.
"Coming from the sky, bringing calamities, wars, plagues, ......." Xiao Yan opened the first page of the classic, and was greeted by a pair of illustrations and words chattering from the gods.
On top of the illustrations, the messy lines seem to be alive, and the pictures they form break through the human imagination. High on the altar, a group of men held long swords into the chest of a white-haired woman, who had no face but could feel her pain, and she struggled to struggle, her fingers bent across the altar, leaving a trail of blood......
Elder Qin Tianzun turned his head suddenly, he closed his eyes tightly, just one glance, his head seemed to explode, tears couldn't stop flowing down, and at that moment, the pain of the woman in the illustration was transmitted to him across time and space.
"How can it be more affected than when I first saw it." Qin Tian muttered to himself, and after rubbing his eyes vigorously, he looked at Xiao Yan with some concern, for fear that the other party would make a mistake.
However, what reassured him was that although Xiao Yan's face was also a little unsightly, the impact was even lower than when he first read this book.
"It is worthy of being a man who can be targeted by the elder and accepted as an apprentice." Qin Tian was amazed in his heart.
Xiao Yan felt a tingling pain in his eyebrows, the style of this illustration is really weird, and it has some kind of magic, which can project the feelings of the characters in the illustration.
It's really a high-end painting technique.
"It's just that why doesn't this white-haired woman have a face?" Xiao Yan continued to look down with some confusion.
There were a lot of white-haired women around, each with their own characteristics, some with dragon horns, some with strange head shapes, some covered with scales, and there were only three people without such strange characteristics, and one of them was the one who plunged the long sword into the body of the white-haired woman, but .......
The man was completely blurred.
No, it can't be said to be blurred, Xiao Yan can also see that this person is painted on the painting, but once he looks away, the impression of this person disappears without a trace.
"Damn, what's the principle?"
Xiao Yan tried a few more times, and after staring at the illustration and completely jotting down every detail, he removed his eyes, and in an instant, a piece of the painting in his memory was missing, leaving only in his mind as if there was indeed such a person on the painting, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was no such thing.
"Hell alive." Xiao Yan was amazed. After reading the first page, he continued to turn backwards.
The content behind is nothing unusual, it is roughly the same as what the Soul Heavenly Emperor said, the fourteen Dou Saint powerhouses joined forces to slaughter the Spirit Devouring Clan, the Dou Qi Continent returned to its former tranquility, and the Dou Qi energy gradually recovered, and then there was some history after the disaster of the Spirit Devouring Clan, which accounted for about two-thirds of the entire book.
Illustration...... There are still a few more, but none of them have anything to do with the scourge of the Spirit Eaters.
"I'm disappointed, I thought I could find out the location of other Spirit Eater ruins from this text." Xiao Yan felt extremely disappointed, most of the contents of the first third of this book, the Soul Heavenly Emperor had already told him, but he didn't know if there was any record of the relics of the Spirit Devouring Clan in the remaining two-thirds of the books.
Xiao Yan put the book away and looked at Elder Qin Tianzun with a slight apology: "I've delayed you a lot." ”
Although the sun can't be seen under this ground, the higher the strength of the fighter, the higher his sensitivity to time, and it took Xiao Yan an hour to read one-third of the content of this book, which is really not suitable for further reading.
"Out of the way." Qin Tianzun saw Xiao Yan put the book away, so he turned around, put his hands together, and said happily.
For this ridiculously hard young man in the background, he also has the heart to make friends, and in the investigation of the blood sect annihilation incident, the clues provided by Xiao Yan were not only fully adopted, but also characterized this matter as the work of the spirit clan, and also gave him a large number of merits at one time, enough to exchange quite a lot of things.
"What bullshit reform, thunder and rain." Qin Tian was disdainful in his heart, and walked away with Xiao Yan.
After Xiao Yan and Qin Tian left the underground library together, they parted ways, Qin Tianzun, as the person in charge of the branch hall, had to deal with quite a lot of things every day, and it was really embarrassing for him to spare so much time to accompany a young man to read.
On the way back, Xiao Yan was still thinking about the strangeness of the illustration, what did it mean?
There were twelve people around the altar, two of them were human races, and ten of them were alien races, could it be that these people were the same people who followed the Soul Heavenly Emperor to defeat the Spirit Devouring Clan back then?
But this is not the same as what I saw in the ruins of the Spirit Swallowing Clan, there are fourteen strong people in the murals, including the Soul Heavenly Emperor, who also said that they were fourteen Dou Saints who joined forces to defeat the Spirit Devouring Clan.
The number of people is not right.
And the mural shows ten strong people of different races and four strong people of the human race, but on the illustration, there are seven strong people of different races and five strong people of the human race.
So who are these eleven Terran powerhouses and two alien powerhouses?
You must know that the current Douqi Continent Terran is prosperous, if there were really seventeen foreign race powerhouses and one human race powerhouse such an exaggerated proportion.......
.......
.......
Wait a minute!
Xiao Yan stopped suddenly, his mind was full of question marks, how many foreign powerhouses are there in the illustration, how many human powerhouses are coming?
His head was full of black lines, and the illustrations in his memory became more and more ambiguous, and gradually only a white-haired woman with no face was left lying on the altar, with a sharp sword in her chest, and above the hilt, a pair of hands as warm as jade.
As for the others surrounding the altar, Xiao Yan couldn't remember their characteristics and numbers.
It's just creepy!
"Brother Xiao Yan, here, here!" Lingyu's cheerful voice sounded from afar, and she stood in an empty clearing, with a gentle little medicine fairy standing beside her.
"Let's go out to play, Sister Xian'er said that she was going to eat at the biggest restaurant in Fengcheng, and a few other people would also come that night!"
