Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Art of Soul Control

The periphery of the fine snow valley is actually an open-air flat land, and several sheds are simply built according to the different patients, and many female doctors shuttle back and forth among them, taking care of each patient seriously, which also leads to geothermal heat, and the temperature is moderate, which is an excellent place for recuperation.

Yun Xiao leaned over cautiously, and at this time, there were more than twenty unconscious people in the open space in the center, and they should be dressed as locals of Jialuo, but I don't know what amazing things happened, some of them had broken hands, and some of them had broken legs, all of them were seriously injured and unconscious.

The Lord of the Fine Snow Valley squatted in front of a wounded man and examined it carefully, uncovering the bloody placket of his clothes, only to see that the man's entire chest was sunken, and a few ribs were broken and pierced out of the skin! She couldn't help but be surprised, and gently pressed his wound, only to feel that the skin was soft and collapsed, like a puddle of mud.

She continued to check quietly, and touched the throat of the wounded with the palm of her hand, as if there was still intermittent breath, obviously her heart was not beating, how could she still have breath?

"Auntie......" Yuxu had never seen this situation, her frightened face turned pale, and she hurriedly squeezed nervously to the side of the valley master, and said tremblingly: "What should I do about this? Are they dead?"

The Lord of the Fine Snow Valley ignored his niece, and asked the only middle-aged man who came with him, who was still in his mood, "Are they all your clansmen? What happened to them, and who injured them like this?"

The man sat against a tree in the valley, with several layers of thick straps wrapped around his head, his skin was dark, he looked old, and his spirit was not very good, several doctors were still applying medicine to his injured upper body, hearing the valley owner's question, the man hurriedly sat down, and replied: "We are from Shelley Village, the village is located on the wasteland on the border of Jialuo and Yangchuan, we have to migrate from there to the east at this time of year, and we will go back when spring begins, our village ...... Shelley Village is very poor, no one cares about the life or death of the wasteland people, we can only figure it out by ourselves, it is autumn now, if we don't leave now, everyone will starve to death if there is no food in winter, I am the village chief, I left all the food for the old people and children who can't walk according to the practice of the village, and take the moving people who can walk through the Weeping Snow Plateau, and then walk to the time of the glacier forest......"

At this point, the village chief's whole body trembled involuntarily, his eyes lost focus in horror, and several doctors around him hurriedly held him down, for fear that he would be emotional and break his wounds again, he eased up for a while, and his tone was also crying: "There is a ...... in the forest We've been walking that road for decades, and we can't get lost with our eyes closed! But that day, that day we got lost, and we couldn't get out, and at night, there was a cry from under the glacier, and the ice began to crack!"

The village chief grabbed a doctor's hand, instantly pinched out a deep mark on her arm, and said in horror: "There are many corpses under the ice, and they are so powerful that they can tear human bodies apart with their bare hands! They also eat human flesh...... We wanted to go back and save people, but there were more and more corpses, and in the end even the young and strong men couldn't hold on, and now there are more than 20 people here, and they are all ......"

"Corpse?" Yu Xu covered her mouth in surprise, and the Lord of the Fine Snow Valley also had a numb scalp, and then asked, "How did you escape?

"Yes, yes, Binghe!" the village chief recalled, adding, "We were scurrying around the forest like headless flies, and there were more than fifty people at first, and there were fewer and fewer people walking, and I didn't even see where the disappeared people went, and I don't know how inexplicably they passed through the whole forest, and when the day dawned again, the Binghe was already close in front of us, and we fled all night, and when we saw that Binghe couldn't manage so much, we rushed over to find water to drink, and then the corpses didn't dare to chase after them, and turned back to the forest." ”

"Are the corpses still in the forest?" Yu Xu hurriedly asked, goosebumps stood up all over her body, the glacier forest is not far from the fine snow valley, will those corpses also attack the fine snow valley?

"It's still there, it's still there. The village chief gasped and looked at the valley in horror, the outer valley of the fine snow valley is open to the public all year round, because the snow city is controlled by the imperial capital and will not treat the aliens and wasteland people, the fine snow valley has become the only life-saving straw, a group of powerless women in it, if those monsters kill in, then they will undoubtedly be dead end!

"Auntie, auntie, why don't we go to the inner valley to hide......" Yuxu suggested in a crying voice, only to see the valley master's face sank, and scolded, "No, those monsters can't even cross the glacier, how can they come to the fine snow valley? ”

"Oh. Although Yuxu was dissatisfied with her aunt's words, she could only be obedient, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Yun Xiao waving at her in the corner, signaling her to come over.

"What are you doing here!" Yuxu sneaked over and pointed at her aunt secretly, "My aunt is a violent temper, you don't want to be seen by her and be scolded again." ”

Yun Xiao obviously knew the temper of the valley master, dragged her to hide, pulled the jade and asked in a low voice, "I just heard that person say what corpses are in the forest?"

"You're not interested in this, are you?" Yuxu looked at her strangely, "You Central Plains people like these strange things, even the Zhongyuan Ghost Festival was passed on by you in the Central Plains, and every year there are a bunch of strange people around the Weeping Snow Plateau, the Glacier Forest and the Glacier, burning paper and putting lamps, it's eerie and scary, hey, it's going to be Halloween again, right?

Yun Xiao looked at her embarrassedly, and didn't know how to explain those traditions of the Central Plains to her for a while, and Yu Yu continued to complain endlessly: "You, you, you must not have any thoughts about those corpses! ”

"Why doesn't Neigu let the patient in?" Yun Xiao asked her puzzled, Yu Su muttered in her mouth, wringed her fingers, and gave her a blank look," It is said that the inner valley is the hometown of the frost phoenix, one of the three holy spirits, naturally it is not easy to let outsiders in, the fine snow valley to cure the disease and save people depends on everyone's kindness, all the patients who are not accepted in Syracuse City have come here, there are only a few doctors in the valley, most of them are orphans rescued by their aunts, and they are apprentices who are taught and brought out by themselves, they are very busy every day, and the patients who come are basically poor, and the consultation fee is also ......"

Yuxu stuck out her tongue, realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly explained: "It's not that you don't collect much, it's that you want to collect people and have no money, and you can't see death without help...... You, you're different, anyway, the military pavilion master won't be able to pay the consultation fee, and if my aunt charges a little more, you can make everyone's life better. ”

Yun Xiao pretended to be serious and said, "Then you charge me so much for the consultation, you have to tell me what the origin of this fine snow valley is, right?"

"It's the hometown of the Frost Sky Phoenix!" Yuxu looked at her strangely, not knowing what she was doing at this time.

Yun Xiao frowned, poked her head to look at the injured people in Shelley Village, and always felt that something was wrong with these people.

In the past few days, she has turned over the map of the flying wall, the area of the Weeping Snow Plateau is very large, accounting for half of the Jialuo, it is said that the snow field and the glacier before the fall into the sky are actually one, due to the destruction of the foundation, the glacier forest fell off from the Weeping Snow Plateau, forming a height difference of nearly 600 meters, and the source of the glacier is in the glacier forest, it is a 600-meter height of the reverse flow climbed the snow field, meandering through the entire Jialuo!

The fine snow valley is located at the junction of Jia Luo and the East Underworld, and it is not too far from the imperial capital Tianyu City, twenty miles away is the "Snow City", one of the three major cities of Feiyuan, if the villagers of Shelley Village go to the East Underworld on foot to spend the winter, they must at least set off a month ago, so that they can walk to the forest when autumn comes, if nothing else, they need at least three days to cross the glacier forest to reach the glacier, and counting the time to cross the river, it is impossible to reach the fine snow valley so quickly anyway!

This group of injured people can't seem to move on their own, how can an old village chief who is over half a hundred years old take them to seek medical treatment, but if it is not the old village chief's doing, then who will be behind him "secretly helping"?

Yun Xiao thought secretly, Xiao Yibai once said that Shen Yue had a tracking technique from the royal family, if the other party's purpose was only her own, then she would at least be enough to protect herself, but if the other party's purpose was Fine Snow Valley, it would still be a little difficult to protect the unarmed doctors in Inner Valley.

When she was still puzzled, a familiar voice suddenly came, and the Lord of the Fine Snow Valley had already seen the two of them, and said as she walked: "Why did Miss Yun come out? There are not enough people in the valley, can the girl also come and help?"

"Ahh......h

"Well, it just so happened that when I was in Kunlun, I also learned some medical skills from Uncle Qingqiu. Yun Xiao heard the valley master's words, and hurriedly came down and followed her, Yuxu didn't dare to say more, so she had to bite the bullet together.

The old village chief glanced at Yun Xiao with a strange expression, and his throat gurgled as if he couldn't say anything.

Yun Xiao glanced at the old village chief, and her heart sankβ€”his breath was actually vaguely not right, and she felt uncomfortable all over.

"Miss Yun, come and help me save this first, this one is the most seriously injured. The valley lord quietly pulled her over, there was a young man covered in blood lying on the straw mat in front of her, his mouth was slightly open, there was already no air in and out, the valley lord motioned to several assistants to pull up the screen, and said lightly: "Miss Yun, I won't tell you, I briefly checked the twenty or so wounded, their heartbeats have been gone, but there has always been breath in the throat, I have never seen this situation in more than 40 years of medical practice! Frankly speaking...... I don't even know if these people are alive or dead. ”

"No heartbeat?" Yun Xiao was startled, she carefully put her hand on this person's heart, and suddenly "poofed" under her palm, and the breath of the spirit phoenix exploded a string of fire!

"This ......" the valley lord exhaled in a low voice, and at this time, the wounded's eyes were round and round, but his eyes were unfocused, only the whites of his eyes remained!

"Shhhhhh......hh

Then, with her toes as the center, there was a faint sword wind, and the sword array was formed silently, Yun Xiao was startled, and gently touched the wind sword between her sleeves, this time the sword array was formed by Xiao Yibai to her wind god, and the spiritual power was obviously much stronger than the Qingmei Sword!

"Hmm......" The wounded made a series of strange sounds, his mouth opened and closed, his hands raised and scratched, and his body began to spasm and twist.

The master of the fine snow valley skillfully grabbed the two hands of the wounded, and directly pressed them on the ground so that he couldn't move a bit, and asked nervously, "What's going on?"

"This is Kunlun's evil sword array, which can suppress the things in his body. Yun Xiao explained simply, the wind god fell into his palm, the weathered long sword could not see the outline, Yun Xiao could only use the sword blade to cut the chest of the wounded with his senses, only to see that the blood from the wound did not gush out, but coagulated together like a puddle of blood, the fine snow valley lord changed his face at this time, hurriedly pinched it with his hand, and exclaimed, "This blood has already coagulated, and it has been dead for a few days depending on the color!"

"There's something in the heart. Cold sweat oozed from Yun Xiao's forehead, and the sword array under her feet was not stable, as if there was another mysterious force competing with her, trying to break through the evil sword array.

"Come on, don't force me, just help me hold his hand. Seeing that her face suddenly darkened, the Lord of the Fine Snow Valley took the initiative to take out the lancet from the cloth pocket on her waist, she skillfully reached into her chest with one hand, grabbed the heart and pulled it out of her body, and the other hand raised and fell, and the sharp lancet cut the heart.

Sure enough, a string of gray-white smoke came out of his heart, Yun Xiao quickly grabbed it, and the breath of the spirit phoenix burned again, and it burned into ashes with a "poof".

"Oops! this ......" Yun Xiao waved her hand again and again, this thing was not under her control, she wanted to grab one to check what the smoke was, but she didn't expect it to be burned before she touched it.

The Lord of the Fine Snow Valley didn't dare to touch those evil things easily, so he could only ask, "Miss Yun, what is that?"

"It's a bit like a spell like soul control in the Central Plains. Yun Xiao held her chin and thought, although the Kunlun faction is mainly based on swordsmanship, but there are also many books for some strange door techniques, it is rumored that there is a snow valley under Kunlun Mountain, which was built by the immortals under the seat of the Queen Mother of the West, and they are especially proficient in the magic of the soul line, it is said that they have "soul control", "soul sealing", "soul refining" and "soul destroying" The four major veins can take out the soul of the living person, and use a special method to refine the ghost for their own use, this technique is extremely cruel, so the little ghost who is practiced is also cruel, they can not only attach to the object to hurt people invisibly, but also attach to the dead person, so that the dead become a "living corpse"!

"Soul control techniques, you, do you mean that these people have died, and then they were controlled by their souls and found the fine snow valley?" The fine snow valley lord heard that her scalp was numb, the orthodox medicine she learned was actually very disgusted with these gods and ghosts, but these words came out of the mouth of the Kunlun disciple, and she had to believe it.

"I don't know, maybe it's just something similar. Yun Xiao shook her head and was still not sure, the valley lord grabbed her, his eyes were a little terrifying, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It must be yes, now the great palace master of the Star Sacrifice Palace specializes in studying this kind of evil art! ”

"Star Sacrifice Palace?" Yun Xiao was taken aback, and hurriedly answered, "The valley lord is talking about the Star Sacrifice Palace of the Three Pavilions and Two Palaces?"

"You don't know, the imperial capital is very strict with the four major realms around, especially Jia Luo and the East Underworld......" The Lord of the Fine Snow Valley involuntarily lowered his voice, looking very disgusted and helpless, "The Imperial Capital worships religion, and the Eastern Underworld believes in astrology, and the Fine Snow Valley is just in the middle of the Jialuo and the East Underworld, thirty miles to the north, it is the eyeliner 'Si Xingtai' that the Star Sacrifice Palace is placed in the four realms, the imperial capital can stare at the four realms through these eyes every day, and the slightest wind and grass will send troops over, hey......"

Yun Xiao was secretly surprised, no wonder her senior brother had warned her not to use the sword spirit before coming to Feiyuan, it turned out that she really had such "eyes" staring!

The Lord of the Fine Snow Valley scolded in a low voice, and continued indignantly: "The palace master of the Star Sacrifice Palace is called An Yu, who used to be the holy maiden of the Sun Temple of the Great Annihilation City, but she was dismissed from her post by the city lord and expelled from Yangchuan because of her research on evil arts, but I didn't expect this person to become deeply trusted by the Emperor of Heavenly Power, and now he has taken over the Star Sacrifice Palace, it is really ridiculous!

She glanced at Yun Xiao complainingly, and felt that what she said was a little heavy, and coughed lightly: "However, you, you are an exception, although I don't know what the relationship between you and Lord Feng Ji is, but she spoke, this favor is a must be given, Miss Yun, I see that the breath of the spirit phoenix on your body seems to be a little useful for this kind of soul control technique, why don't you try it one by one?"

"Won't they all die if I touch them one by one?" Yun Xiao hurriedly waved her hand and reminded, "This will only startle the snake, valley master, you first pretend to put these twenty or so people aside, just treat them as usual, and then separate the old village chief from them, it's best to find some excuses to let the doctors and patients in the valley go out to avoid them, and when everyone is gone, you and the jade girl will not come out in the inner valley......"

"You, how do you know the inner valley ......" The valley lord was hesitant, and it was not easy to say what he wanted to say, Yun Xiao said, "The inner valley is so strong that I can't feel it, if it's just a remote corpse control, the power is extremely limited, and it should be impossible to break the inner valley's magic circle, during this period, I will go to find the caster of the soul control technique, if I can find the source, the living corpse will be self-defeating, and it will not become a threat." ”

"You're going to find it?" the Lord of the Fine Snow Valley gasped and hurriedly stopped, "Auntie, don't you know your current body? If you get sick again, no one will be able to save you!"

"The valley owner doesn't have to worry about me. Yun Xiao smiled, opened her palm, and the frost and snow could fall steadily in her palm, "I am a disciple of Kunlun, although I am not a specialist in soul techniques, but I know more than you, now that the frost and snow are protecting me, I will not be burned to death by the breath of the spirit phoenix again......"

"Tsk, no!" the valley lord interrupted her, and before she could say anything, the corpse on the straw mat sat up with a "rub", and bit her arm with his mouth open!

"Valley Lord!" Yun Xiao immediately pressed the corpse, and then looked at the fine snow valley master, her face instantly swayed a layer of dead gray, her lips turned black, her heart sank, and she blurted out: "It's corpse poison!"

"Shhhh......h......h There are dozens of disciples in the inner valley, and if they startle the snake, they won't be too late to leave...... Miss Yun, let's do as you say first. ”

Then, she put down her sleeve to cover her wounds, pushed open the screen, and pretended to have nothing to do and instructed a few disciples: "Sister Hong, you go, you go and clean up the East Courtyard, Ah Mei, Ah Ke, you help move all these people to the East Courtyard, they are seriously injured and need special care, Yuxu, you can accompany me to Neigu to get some medicinal materials first." ”

As soon as she spoke, several doctors noticed the abnormality at the same time, exchanged glances, and tacitly got busy.

"Miss Cloud...... Wai Gu first trouble you to look at it......" The forehead of the fine snow valley lord seemed to ooze cold sweat, and every time he said a word, his physical strength was passing rapidly, Yun Xiao nodded, and motioned for Yuxu to hurry up and help the valley lord in.

Yuxu, who has always been very aggressive, finally felt that something was wrong at this time, she didn't dare to make a noise, and hurriedly left with her aunt.

"Where are the doctors going? Do they care about the lives of my villagers?" Seeing that the doctors in the valley got up one after another to leave, the old village chief couldn't help but ask anxiously, Yun Xiao hurriedly continued, "They are so seriously injured, naturally they have to change to a comfortable place first, the doctors have to prepare beds and medicinal materials first, you can rest assured, I am here." ”

"What do you know......" The old village chief muttered, Yun Xiao looked at him carefully, and the sword array under his feet inadvertently expanded the range.

She was full of doubts in her heart, she could clearly hear the other party's heartbeat and breathing in the sword array, and even her body temperature was normal, and she couldn't feel that there were traces of soul spells on the other party's body - still alive, this old village chief was undoubtedly a living person.

A living man with a group of "living corpses" ran to the fine snow valley to seek medical treatment? Something must be wrong with this old village chief!

"Don't believe me, old man. Yun Xiao walked over with a smile, withdrew the sword formation, and squatted down in front of him, "Don't look at me like this, I am also a person who has studied medical skills for several years." ”

"How many years?" the old village chief sneered and smiled disdainfully, waving his hand: "What's the use of a few years? As for those doctors in Syracuse, which one of them can't start for thirty years before he can go to the clinic himself? Don't look at the master of the fine snow valley, he looks like he is in his early forties, at least he can be your grandmother, you little girl has only studied for a few years, you dare to boast like this, and you are not afraid of being laughed at!"

"Then let me show you. Yun Xiao pleaded angrily, "Anyway, the bleeding from your wound has stopped, so I can see that it won't be more serious, right?"

"Come on, come on, I want to see what you can see!" The old village chief stretched out his arm and handed it to her, Yun Xiao pretended to take the pulse, and his fingertips pulled out a spiritual light as thin as a gossamer, and drilled into the old village chief's body along his arm.

There's really nothing out of the ordinary, it's really like it's just an old man who has been seriously injured.

"How's it going?" the old village chief urged stupidly, "Do you see something?"

"Hmm...... Not really. Yun Xiao let go of her hand, looked up and met the eyes of the old village chief, and swallowed back the words - a strange figure was reflected in those pupils, as if looking at her.

"I just said you, this girl will only be stubborn. The old village chief didn't feel anything unusual in the slightest, and confirmed his guess with satisfaction.

"I'll take you to the East Courtyard to rest first. Yun Xiao didn't dare to act rashly, so she could only pretend that nothing had happened and help him up, "The villagers will all move over in a while, you can rest assured that you can watch over there." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, they are the only ones left in the village, even if they are disabled, it is better than not dying!" the old village chief stood up anxiously and walked tremblingly towards the east courtyard.
