Chapter Seventy-Four: Mission Accomplished
Seeing Xiao Ming's hesitation, Bai Zhen sighed lightly and said, "You should know that it is impossible for a person like them to survive in a natural environment. And they can't exist forever in the soul world of Yin Zhu. You may not know that the soul world of Yin Zhu has only one function, and that is to raise ghost Gu. Sooner or later, they will become part of the Devil Gu here!"
"Ghost Gu?" Xiao Ming finally remembered why he had a familiar feeling here. He had heard Bai Jian say it before.
Ghost Gu is to put a group of ghosts in a closed space, let them keep fighting, and then in the end when there is only one ghost left, that ghost is a ghost Gu, and this ghost Gu will be very powerful, but its real use is not to fight, but to repair the soul.
"The kind of soul energy that made my soul repair is the power of the Ghost Gu?" Xiao Ming reacted.
"Yes, it's not!" Bai Zhen shook his head: "Yin Zhu will raise a ghost Gu, then absorb the power of the ghost Gu, and finally convert it into a yin attribute soul energy, this kind of soul energy belongs to a kind of heaven and earth soul energy, which is specially used to repair souls." This is the power of the Yin Bead. After a pause, she smiled again, "Do you feel cruel? Since you know that everything in heaven and earth has a soul, it is only the human soul that is more agile, so it is special. And the Soul Sutra you cultivate is to use the souls of all things in heaven and earth to cultivate. Essentially, what's the difference?"
"People in the world don't understand, how can you not understand? Everything has consciousness, but the difference between strength and weakness and spirituality, the pearl of the five elements can control the soul of the five elements, you feel normal. And Yin Zhu specializes in controlling the soul of people, do you feel cruel? Don't forget it. Yin Zhu will not rob the soul of the living. It will only attack the souls of the dead. Is this different from your cultivation of the Soul Devouring Technique?"
Bai Zhen's words made Xiao Ming unable to refute. Because that's just the way it is.
"In fact, if the two of them hadn't met you, they wouldn't have been able to regain their sanity, and they would eventually lose all their sanity and become unintelligent souls. At best, it's just a bunch of disordered energy. Is there anything difficult about this?" Bai Ji continued.
Xiao Ming fell silent, and his gaze swept over the two female ghosts, You Yi and Xia Lily.
The two female ghosts were already desperate at this time, and they didn't say anything to beg for mercy, but just lay on the ground like that. Like a walking corpse.
"Have you figured it out?" said Bai Zhen.
Xiao Ming closed his eyes, and only opened them again after a while, his expression became firm: "No need, I will take them out of the soul world of Yin Zhu, although in the natural world, they will dissipate sooner or later, this is their destined fate, but it is also their own fate." Since I have restored their spirits, I do not want to take away their existence as long as they are not enemies of me. Their savings will indeed be short. Doomed to dissipate. But I can't do it with my hands to destroy them!"
Xiao Ming finished speaking. Just looked at Bai Zhen and waited for Bai Zhen to get angry.
But Bai Zhen didn't get angry, she just smiled faintly, and didn't make any comments on Xiao Ming's actions, but turned around. After walking a few steps, he said again: "Still not keeping up?"
Xiao Ming smiled, he knew that Bai Zhen agreed, and said to the two female ghosts: "Keep up, I will take you out of here." But your fate will not be changed. You are long dead, dissipated, already doomed!"
The two female ghosts were both happy and surprised. For a while, they hugged and cried bitterly, but as ghosts, they had no tears. However, the two female ghosts also knew that now was not the time to cry, but after venting their feelings, they obediently followed behind Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming and the two female ghosts didn't see it, and Bai Zhen at the front showed a smile of relief.
With Bai Jian leading the way, Xiao Ming found that the road they had traveled had completely changed, no longer the infinite corridor before, but into an upward staircase, the staircase was very long, there was no end in sight, but it was not infinite, after walking upward for a few hours, the staircase finally came to an end.
What appeared in front of Xiao Ming was an altar, and on the top of the altar, there was a black bead, which looked very similar to the Five Elements Spirit Bead, but the color was different.
It can be seen that countless black soul energy emanates from the yin beads like mist, and then is swallowed back again, as if the cycle repeats.
Yin Zhu seems to have its own consciousness, but Xiao Ming is not surprised, after all, how can there be no consciousness if he can construct the existence of the soul world? Because he is conscious, so Yin Zhu also has affection, when he saw Bai Zhen, Yin Zhu emitted a happy feeling, and that feeling was like a child who had been lost for a long time finally seeing his family.
"Little one, I didn't expect you to be here. This is your future host, listen to him obediently. He's a good boy!" Bai Zhen picked up the Yin Bead and said softly.
Yin Zhu emitted a cheerful feeling, and then floated into Xiao Ming's hand.
"Hello, please advise me in the future!" Xiao Ming nodded at Yin Zhu.
Yin Zhu flew up excitedly, circled around Xiao Ming, and then plunged into Xiao Ming's eyebrows.
Rumble!
Xiao Ming's soul world, which had been sealed for many years, finally opened up again. However, Xiao Ming didn't go in right away, because Bai Zhen reminded him that it was inconvenient to go in now, so he didn't go in either.
And the soul world of Yin Zhu began to shrink rapidly, but in the blink of an eye, it had already disappeared.
Xiao Ming opened his eyes and found himself back in the mine. The pit wasn't really deep, and the gray fog was just a few meters in it. However, the gray mist is the entrance and exit of the spirit world, so ordinary people can't enter it at all.
Xiao Ming found that the scout insects under his feet were those who had lost contact, but at this time they reconnected with Jelly and regained their vitality. Behind them, the ten corpses began to slowly turn into ashes.
"Jelly!" Xiao Ming shouted.
"Master, I felt as if I had lost contact with you just now, what's going on?" Jelly said worriedly.
"How long have we lost touch?" Xiao Ming asked.
"It's only three hundred milliseconds, so I thought it was a gray fog, but now that I think about it, it's not. Master, what the hell is going on?" Jelly asked curiously.
"You read my memories of this paragraph!" Xiao Ming said.
Jelly and Xiao Ming have a heart-to-heart connection and share memories, but generally they don't share memories casually, and only do so when needed.
Jelly instantly read Xiao Ming's memory, understood what was happening, and said excitedly: "Has the master recovered now?"
"Yes, it's been restored, and it's made a lot of progress!" Xiao Ming said with a smile.
"But master, your ability is still A-level!" Jelly was a little disappointed after scanning Xiao Ming's spirit wave.
"No, it's completely different, I've rebuilt my soul. If my soul used to be a planet, then being able to fly on a planet is an A-level strength. But now my soul has become a star field, and in the same way, being able to fly in the star field is also A-class. But will it be the same between the two A-grades?" Xiao Ming smiled confidently.
Jelly understood: "I see, just like when I evolved?"
"Yes!" Xiao Ming nodded with a smile.
"Great. Jelly jumped up happily: "Hey, by the way, master, what about the two ghosts? I have never seen a ghost!
Xiao Ming smiled bitterly: "You can't see it." And they've dissipated. They shouldn't have saved zài in the first place, but they are only maintained because of the yin beads. I took them out of the space of the Yin Bead, and they had already dissipated!"
"But is that the difference between that and killing them directly?" Jelly said with some confusion.
"Yes!" Xiao Ming nodded, but did not explain further.
"Let's go, pack up the relics of those corpses, and let's get out of here. It's an unexpected gain to come here this time!" Xiao Ming said.
"Yes, master!" Jelly nodded, operating the Scout Bug to pack up the relics of the ten people of 084, although their bodies had been turned to ashes, but the equipment was still there.
Hearing the movement in the pit, Tifa and Yingluo ran to the mouth of the pit to investigate, and saw Xiao Ming and the two girls greet them. Jelly immediately told Xiao Ming what he had experienced like a little sparrow, but because Xiao Ming was not allowed to tell anyone about him and Bai Zhen on the big plate, the part of Bai Zhen and Yin Zhu was removed from the description of Jelly.
So the whole story becomes even more mysterious.
"Are there really ghosts?" said Tifa, surprised.
"There are souls, and there are ghosts. However, under normal circumstances, ghosts are very difficult to produce, and even if they are generated, it is extremely difficult to maintain zài. Unless it's an extreme environment, the natural environment itself rejects such existence!" Xiao Ming explained.
The soul of heaven and earth will decompose all the ownerless souls and restore them to the most original soul energy, so as to join the great cycle, and the existence of ghosts is like a virus in the human body, which will naturally be not allowed by the soul of heaven and earth.
"Anyway, it's a good thing that your strength has recovered. I don't have to worry about you at last!" Tifa knew that Xiao Ming had something to say, but she didn't care at all. To her, Xiao Minghui fù is more important than anything else.
"I'm sorry to worry you!" Xiao Ming gently hugged Tifa.
"Worried, worried!" Yingluo also pounced and squeezed into the arms of the two.
"The host is really worried this time!" Jelly also came to join in the fun.
The three of them hugged each other warmly, conveying each other's hearts.
After a long time.
"Alright, let's get out of here. It's almost time to go back and prepare for the tournament, and I think it's going to be very lively this time!" Xiao Ming said.
"Good!" Tifa nodded.
Jelly packed up the relics, and the three of them followed the map, returned the same way, and then went to hand in the mission, as for what would happen after this mission, it was no longer their concern. When they handed over the relics, they had already completed their mission. (To be continued......)
