"It's not over, it's just that some of the children of the spirit guard can leave, and there are still three people left, Yuan Sheng, Yuan Rui, and Yuan Xiang...... If you want to go, of course you can, I can accompany you. ”

Huang Ming thought for a moment and then said out loud.

"Okay."

I nodded, and then followed Huang Ming to the mourning hall.

Unlike during the day, at night, I found that the outside of Yuan Zhengfa's mourning hall was full of candles.

These candles surround the mourning hall, including the open space outside, and the extremely bright candles make the mourning hall seem to be brightly lit.

There were not many people in the mourning hall that was originally crowded during the day, and only Yuan Sheng and his three juniors were left keeping vigil.

They were all a little dazed, their heads down, their eyes half-narrowed, even Yuan Sheng.

When Huang Ming and I arrived, all three of them were sober and looked back at me one after another.

"What are you here to do? You don't seem obligated to hold a wake for the old patriarch, do you? ”

Yuan Xiang frowned and looked at me, he was still a little hostile to me.

From the beginning of entering Luyi to the end of the fight, the hatred between us is not something that can be solved in a while.

So I didn't answer him, but just glanced at him and approached.

There was something to deal with Yuan Donglai before, and what happened after, this Yuan Xiang didn't seem to dare to provoke me, seeing that I didn't pay attention to him, he was a little annoyed, but he didn't dare to say anything, let alone come forward to stop me.

"Chen Qi, are you also here to guard the spirit?"

Yuan Sheng, the strongest young generation of the Yuan clan in Runan, was right next to me and asked me out loud.

Although I defeated him in the end and took the top spot, Yuan Sheng did not have much hostility towards me.

There were even a few times when I found that Yuan Sheng was peeking at me and seemed to want to come up and talk to me, and I understood what he was trying to say, and he wanted to know how I had raised my physical body to so many times.

"Come and have a look." I replied casually, staring at Yuan Zhengfa's coffin.

And at this moment, I don't know if it's a coincidence, under my keen perception, I also found Yuan Zhengfa's coffin, which doesn't seem to be emitting dead air.

And, when the dead air did not emanate from the coffin, I suddenly felt that the coffin in front of me seemed to be an empty coffin! There's not a single thing in it!

This discovery shocked me!

Huang Ming didn't deceive me?

If the coffin is true, is it also true that he saw Yuan Zhengfa's figure?

Yuan Zhengfa is really not dead?

What is the situation with the dead body that I look at during the day?

Just as I was approaching, Yuan Xiang couldn't help but step forward, and he said, "What are you going to do?" The coffin of the old patriarch can't be approached casually! ”

I glanced at him faintly.

Yuan Xiang looked at me with some fear, but he still wanted to say something, but Yuan Rui, who had never spoken on the side, spoke, she stopped Yuan Xiang and said, "Okay, don't quarrel, let him go if he wants to go, the patriarch won't stop him, what are you doing in the way?" ”

"Cousin, but this ......"

Yuan Xiang looked at Yuan Rui and said loudly, it seems that this Yuan Xiang is more respectful to Yuan Rui.

"Haha, Chen Xiaoyou was invited into the mourning hall by the patriarch during the day today, I think, he is close to the coffin of the old patriarch, it is not a big problem, besides, didn't the patriarch say it during the day, Chen Xiaoyou is his savior and the benefactor of the entire Shi clan, I think he should have some privileges."

At this moment, Huang Ming also echoed a sentence.

Yuan Xiang finally didn't stop me again, and I approached the coffin.

Then, I put my hand on the coffin and slowly closed my eyes, of course, I was not pretending to rest, but contacting Wang Huayu.

"What do you feel Wang Huayu? Is there a dead body in this coffin? The realm in front of the dead corpse is not the fourth grade? ”

I asked out loud.

My perception is keen, but not as sharp as Wang Huayu's spirit perception, perhaps, she can find something different.

Wang Huayu quickly responded to me and said, "Yes! I can feel the corpse in the coffin! And there is also a unique aura of the four-grade cultivator, the dead body in the coffin, there is a great possibility that it is the fourth-grade in front of the body. ”

I frowned, how could Wang Huayu's discovery be different from mine?

Then I asked, "Then why didn't I feel dead?" ”

Wang Huayu was silent, as if thinking.

After a while, Wang Huayu responded to me: "There is a possibility, maybe after the death of the cultivator of the fourth rank, there will be the situation you mentioned. ”

"What is possible?" I'll ask right away.

"What are the four products? When it comes to the fourth grade, it is not just the use of qi, they are more like they are completely integrated with any breath in this heaven and earth, qi, the breath of the most origin, and they are more like the origin itself......"

"And after the death of the fourth-grade cultivators, their physical bodies will not only exude the most basic death qi, but when the time after death is long, his physical body will also decompose and dissipate a breath similar to a qi machine, which is one of the most important components of the four-rank cultivator's body, called rootless qi."

"The rootless qi can't be felt, even if it's your physical body, you can't feel it, unless it's also the realm of the four grades, and you don't feel that it is emitting dead qi, maybe it's this dead corpse that is decomposing and emitting rootless qi."

"And when the rootless qi completely disappears from the body of the fourth-rank cultivator, the body of the fourth-grade cultivator after death will completely become an empty shell, no different from ordinary people, and even more empty than the dead corpse of ordinary people."

Wang Huayu said slowly.

I'm not surprised, why Wang Huayu can know the mysteries of the Four Rank Cultivators, she has received all the memories of Empress Yu, it is not surprising that she can know these.

And my focus at this time is not on this so-called "rootless qi", but immediately grasped a key in Wang Huayu's words.

I said in a deep voice, "You mean, this rootless qi must be some time after death before it emanates from the body of a four-rank cultivator?" ”

"That's right! It can be as short as a few months, or as late as a few years, this rootless qi will emanate from the corpse of the fourth-grade cultivator, and this rootless qi will emit a particularly long time, occasionally emitting a wisp of it, this time, depending on how strong the strength of the fourth-grade body is, the shortest time will also emit at least a few decades of rootless qi, and if it is long, it may be a hundred years. ”

Wang Huayu explained slowly.

My face froze a little......

It will take at least a few months of death for this to happen.

But Yuan Zhengfa obviously died yesterday.

According to Wang Huayu's meaning, the person lying in the coffin is indeed a four-rank cultivator, but it is by no means Yuan Zhengfa, but a four-rank cultivator who has long died!

Then I asked, "Why do I feel that there is nothing in this coffin?" Like an empty coffin? ”

"That's because the rootless qi of the corpse of this fourth-grade cultivator inside is about to decompose and dissipate, as I just said, when the rootless qi is about to dissipate, the corpse is like an empty shell."

Wang Huayu explained to me, and then, after she pondered for a while: "I estimate that the fourth grade inside should be very powerful in front of him, but not the ordinary fourth grade, let me tell you, once the cultivator reaches the fifth grade, there will be a subdivision grade in it, and the cultivator of the fifth grade and above, there may be a big gap between the same grade, and in front of this corpse, it should be the peak fourth grade......

I expected this, Wang Kang said at the beginning that Yuan Jing is not an ordinary five-grade, but the pinnacle of the five-grade.

From when I felt Yuan Jing's qi before, I could also find that because Yuan Jing's qi was too huge, the gap between the six grades and it could not be described as one day and one place.

And with this exaggerated gap, how can the six products reach the level of Yuan Jing in one step? I'm afraid that the road to be taken is far beyond my imagination.

Then, Wang Huayu said something that shocked me: "So, this kind of powerful four products, the rootless qi of his body will disappear after his death, I am afraid that the person in the coffin has been dead for at least a hundred years!" ”

A hundred-year-old corpse!
