Chapter 31: The Soul of the Deep Sea II
"Tell me your story, why did you dream of me, and why did you wait for me in the Nanshan Sect for ten years." Lin Jun looked at Su Jue's lost and depressed appearance, so he opened his mouth to find a topic, if Su Jue continued to maintain this state along the way, this journey to find the Soul Spirit Tree might be difficult.
For Su Jue's state, Lin Jun also feels that it is normal, after all, after several years of searching, moving forward day and night, ordinary people really can't stand it, although there is no day here, except for the night, there is only cold and gloomy.
"I ......"
Lin Jun's words made Su Jue cheer up slightly, looked up at Lin Jun, pursed his lips, didn't know how to answer this question, and told him that there was an omnipotent system in his body? It's not good......
"If you don't want to talk about it, let's change the subject." Lin Jun looked at Su Jue, who was hesitant, and spoke again.
“…… Hmm......" Su Jue bit her lip, let out a soft snort, and then said, "It's not that I don't want to say, do you remember the scene when we first met?" ”
"Of course." Lin Jun nodded, Lin Jun, who has a strong soul, has the ability to never forget, the scene when he first came to Nanshan Sect is still vivid, Su Jue said a lot of strange things to him at that time, reincarnation Zhuge , timely rain Song Jiang, small system is powerful......
Su Jue also told herself that she could reason, and then told herself that these were her own dreams, and she had only dreamed of herself......
Speaking of the ability to never forget, Lin Jun thought that after he split himself in front of the crack, he actually forgot the mental formula in the "Seven-Step Divine Spirit Code", but Lin Jun didn't think about it that much at that time, and now that he thinks about it, Lin Jun thinks that it may be the sequelae left by the separation of the soul......
But he didn't forget any of his other self-created spiritual skills, as well as the spiritual skills he learned......
The Seven-Step Divine Dictionary may be very special, and this will lead to forgetfulness......
"These things, I don't know how to explain them to you, but there is one thing, you have to believe me, I won't harm you......" Su Jue's voice became smaller and smaller, she looked up at Lin Jun's side face slightly, and a trace of mist appeared in her somewhat illusory eyes.
Su Jue was actually very worried about Lin Jun's thoughts, but it was not suitable to tell Lin Jun now, and he shouldn't tell Lin Jun......
"Hmm." Lin Jun turned his head and met Su Jue's eyes, Lin Jun didn't know why, he had a very trusting feeling of trust in Su Jue, maybe Su Jue showed that he had known Lin Jun for a long time, and Lin Jun himself couldn't tell this strange feeling......
The two were silent again and continued their journey in the darkness.
……
"Is it better now?" Lin Jun asked with concern.
"Hmm."
"There's one of the tallest mountains we've ever seen, maybe we can find some clues." Lin Jun looked at the darkness ahead.
The two walked forward again for a long time, and finally came to the front of the Yin Mountain that Lin Jun said.
"This mountain looks a lot higher than the mountains we've climbed before." Su Jue's divine thoughts can't feel very far, but according to the degree of steepness of the mountain that his divine sense feels, Su Jue can roughly feel it, and the mountain in front of him is very large.
After deciding on the next direction, the two of them tirelessly walked towards the top of the mountain again, day after day, and the higher they went, the more the cold grew.
This kind of coldness is like an ice blade, piercing into the illusory bodies of the two people with a sword, and the cold two seem to have a little trembling souls, and even breathing has become a little difficult......
Even if there is no time in this soul deep sea, Lin Jun and the others still spent a lot of time on this mountaineering trip, according to the passage of time in the spirit world, it took about half a month for the two of them to finally reach the top of this mountain.
"Any clues?" There was some hope in Su Jue's voice, her divine sense spread, but she didn't feel anything, just the incomparably piercing coldness spread from the soles of her feet to her body, and even the surroundings of her body became so cold.
Looking around, Lin Jun didn't find anything, and slowly shook his head helplessly, "Nothing, the stone gate with a ghostly light you said, the river ......"
Hearing Lin Jun's calm words, Su Jue felt "sigh" in his heart. With a bang, he felt that the last bit of hope had been shattered, and in a trance, Su Jue felt a little broken.
"Is there really nothing?" Su Jue muttered in a low voice, looking at the darkness in front of him with some confusion, with a kind of extreme loss and despair in his tone, the boundless night, the road ahead that could not be seen, cold, no light, and no hope.
Then, Su Jue felt even more desperate, and let go of his hand......
That hollow and oppressive feeling instantly surrounded him, and Su Jue felt like he was choked by the throat and almost collapsed.
It was just that as soon as his body softened, Su Jue felt that he was embraced by a body without temperature.
"Why, haven't you been waiting for ten years in the Nanshan Sect, in this so-called soul deep sea, why can't you help it, this is not like you I know."
Lin Jun's slightly gentle voice reached Su Jue's ears and woke Su Jue up.
Coming back to his senses, Su Jue felt the embrace without temperature, and was silent for a long time.
After a while, Su Jue whispered in Lin Jun's arms, "I'm sorry." ”
Lin Jun heard Su Jue's apology, and couldn't help but smile, "How do you feel like you have changed as a different person, you know ......"
Lin Jun's voice stopped abruptly, and then the two of them felt a cold and biting wind like a mountain blowing.
This can't help but make the two have a cold war.
Cold, blown by this biting wind, the two of them felt as if their souls were swept by the extreme cold.
"Why is there wind?" Lin Jun sighed.
The two of them have walked in this dark and boundless night for so long, and they have never felt the wind, according to common sense, in this soul deep sea, there is no temperature, there can be no pressure storm, and there will be no wind.
"This is the so-called Yin Wind?" Su Jue reminisced about the feeling just now, shuddered again, and a trace of brilliance regained in his eyes.
"Yin wind?" Lin Jun looked at Su Jue puzzled.
Su Jue blushed (Why does the soul blush?) I don't know. Breaking free from Lin Jun's arms, Su Jue took a step forward, then opened his hands and closed his eyes, "Perhaps, the direction in which the yin wind is blowing is the direction we should move forward." ”
Lin Jun looked at the recovered Su Jue, and nodded, "Then let's continue to set off." ”
……
In the dark night, the two had a direction again, and finally they were no longer confused looking for clues, and they were scurrying around in confusion.
"Do you know what the Deep Sea of Souls is?" Su Jue looked at Lin Jun and took the initiative to take Lin Jun's illusory hand.
"Why, is there anything different about this place."
"This soul deep sea, also known as the underworld, or the underworld, is not the world of the soul as you think, but the world of the dead." Seeing that Lin Jun didn't seem to know this place, Su Jue explained to Lin Jun very seriously.
"The world of the dead?" Lin Jun was a little puzzled, and looked at Su Jue in great surprise, "You mean that dead people, their souls will come to this world?" Lin Jun couldn't believe that there would be such a place.
After a person dies, isn't there nothing, unless it is the kind of powerful cultivator who dies and the soul can still survive.
Su Jue nodded, and patiently explained to Lin Jun, "However, according to the rules of the spirit world, not all dead people will come to this world, if the soul power is strong enough, they die, and the soul will remain in the spirit world, and those weak human beings, after death, their souls will fall into it." ”
Lin Jun nodded, this is indeed the case in the spirit world, the soul is strong enough, even if the physical body is destroyed, it will still remain in the spiritual world, and in the spiritual world, there is a way to reforge the physical body......
"This is also the reason why in the spirit world, all cultivators want to become stronger, immortality and immortality are what they yearn for." Lin Jun suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Su Jue and asked, "Then our physical body is in a state of death now?" ”
"Of course not, I used a special method to strip our souls from our bodies and hide them, and there is no time here, when we leave here and return to the spirit world, it will still be the same as when we finally left the spirit world." Su Jue hurriedly shook his head and explained to Lin Jun.
"The stone gate you are talking about, or a river, or a bridge, an old woman, how do you know that you have been to this world?"
Su Jue shook his head, "I haven't been here, these are just legends, but maybe it's true?" ”
After all, those myths and legends in the previous life were written in such detail and so true, even if they were myths, many people believed them......
"Then how did you bring us to this world, we can enter this world without dying, it's a bit unreasonable." Lin Jun recalled Su Jue's words and found that Su Jue seemed to be a little too mysterious to him.
"My existence is not in line with common sense, have you ever seen a cultivator with a physique like mine, but as for these, I will explain them to you in the future." Su Jue opened his mouth, it is not appropriate to tell Lin Jun these things now, and when the water is ready, Su Jue will naturally inform Lin Jun.
Su Jue's words, to Lin Jun, did not explain anything, but it was like saying everything, Lin Jun did not have any sense of urgency to know the answer now, or to know the answer in the future, these are not as important to him as the soul tree.
……
And this time the time to move forward is even longer, so long that Lin Jun has roughly passed five years again in terms of the time concept of the spirit world......
In the past five years, the two have never stopped, and have been moving in the direction of their hearts.
Until Lin Jun and the two felt the yin wind again, the biting chill swept the two of them again.
"Do you feel that this yin wind is like guiding the way?" Lin Jun spoke slowly.
"Why do you say that?" Su Jue felt cold and piercing, making her tone tremble a little.
Lin Jun explained his thoughts: "This yin wind seems to sweep through the whole world every once in a while, and it is guiding the souls wandering in this world and guiding their direction. ”
"Maybe."
When the two of them walked in the direction of the wind again, until they reappeared on a mountain peak.
In the distance, a green point of light was like a star in the night, Su Jue looked at the point of light in the distance, turned his head excitedly, looked at Lin Jun, and then saw that Lin Jun was also watching him.
For Lin Jun and the others, this is the light of hope and the result of persisting for nearly ten years......
Su Jue smiled at Lin Jun, "Let's go." ”
……
I don't know how long it has been, but the green point of light in the distance is getting bigger and bigger, and the road ahead is getting colder and colder.
And there are more and more lonely souls moving forward together, but after walking in the dark for such a long time, Su Jue is no longer afraid of these ghosts, but his own hand has been holding Lin Jun's hand tightly, which seems to be more like the persistence and interaction of faith to resist this silent lonely journey.
Darkness is depressing, few people can live in the dark for a long time, Lin Jun can, but Su Jue can't, if it weren't for Lin Jun, Su Jue might have given up moving forward and was silent in this boundless night.
……
"It's not far away, it's really the same as you said, it's an extremely tall stone gate, and the stone door emits a strong green glow." Lin Jun told Su Jue the information he felt by his divine sense.
"It seems to be getting colder and colder." Su Jue's little face stiffened, and his teeth were clenched together.
"Can you still hold on?"
"Hmm."
In order to take care of Su Jue, Lin Jun's forward speed became slower and slower, and the closer they got to the tall stone gate, not only the cold, but even the yin wind blew from time to time.
"These souls, they seem to have no thoughts, so wooden." Su Jue looked at the souls passing by from time to time around him, their steps were like zombies, stiff, their expressions were neither sad nor joyful, and they couldn't see any emotions.
"Maybe they can't accept the reality yet."
