Chapter 8: Sword Spirit
Qu Yanluo felt something behind her hit her ass, she shook in fright and turned her head. Xu Fan, who was standing aside, hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No...... It's not me, it's your sword!" Xu Fan pointed to the ground.
The wooden sword on Qu Yanluo's waist is indeed gone, and now it is lying obediently at Qu Yanluo's feet. Qu Yanluo looked down at the wooden sword, picked it up and held it in her arms, and felt a deep sense of guilt like a silver needle stabbing her heart. She closed her eyes tightly, tears pouring out of her eyes.
Suddenly, the wooden sword in her arms began to struggle, Qu Yanluo let go of her hand, and the wooden sword flew out of her arms at once, soaring into the air and standing in front of her. Qu Yanluo opened her mouth slightly, slightly surprised, and said, "Mother, do you want to say something to me?"
As soon as the words stopped, the wooden sword flew and carved three words on the dirt - I am not.
Qu Yanluo's heart was full of guilt, she looked at these three words, and guessed that her mother must be saying that she was not there and asked her to take good care of herself.
Qu Yanluo looked at the wooden sword and said in a choked voice: "Mother, I know you're gone, but I can't accept it yet......"
Speaking of which, the wooden sword suddenly flew and hit Qu Yanluo's buttocks, this time, it hit very hard, Qu Yanluo was kneeling on the ground, this suddenness, made her jump up violently with an "ouch" and covered her ass. She looked at the wooden sword that had just hit her, and now stood in front of her, and she looked at it in amazement.
"Stupid, your mother is saying, don't be sad, don't feel guilty, she's still there! Her soul is in the sword!" Xu Fan watched from the sidelines, and couldn't wait to say.
At this moment, the wooden sword slapped Qu Yanluo's ass again and pointed at the tombstone.
Qu Yanluo looked at the tombstone, which indeed had her mother's name "Tian Dongyu" written on it. Qu Yanluo scratched her head in annoyance and whispered, "Is there anything wrong with this tombstone?"
Xu Fan also walked over, and the two looked at the tombstone carefully, Xu Fan suddenly said loudly: "I understand, you see!" Xu Fan pointed to a small character on the far right side of the tombstone, "The day of burial is eight hundred and seventy-nine years of Shun'anguo."
Qu Yanluo was taken aback and said: "It is now the 887th year of Shun'an Kingdom, why is it written on this tablet that it was buried eight years ago?"
The corners of Xu Fan's mouth rose slightly, put his hand behind his back and said: "You have been deceived, your mother is not a crippled sword spirit at all, she is a complete sword spirit, and your mother has no soul." Her soul is inside the sword. ”
Qu Yanluo looked puzzled: "But how do you know that this sword is my mother's soul and not spiritual consciousness?"
Xu Fan said: "When we were at the plum tree just now, your mother slapped me in the mouth, and I suddenly remembered that she had done it to me before. I wondered why she was able to overtake this wooden sword so flexibly with only a trace of spiritual sense!
The mutilated sword spirit is just like what the Fusheng Immortal said, it has no effect, at most it can move slightly when the master is in danger.
And your wooden sword can not only sense your emotions, but also fly around, resist damage for you, and carve words on the ground. This is definitely something that only a true sword spirit can do. At first I was just skeptical, but now I know for sure. ”
Qu Yanluo wiped her tears and asked, "How can you be sure? Because she carved words on the ground, what does it have to do with this tombstone?"
Xu Fan said proudly: "When I see the year on this tombstone, I understand." Fu Sheng deceived you, the soul of the living could not be casually crossed on objects.
The spell cast by the Fusheng Immortal on the sword was to help your mother's soul cross the wooden sword, and helped her protect her soul without letting her soul fly away. Your mother must have also become a sword spirit before she found out that the Fusheng Immortal helped her.
As an immortal, Fu Sheng must abide by the rules of the heavenly realm, one of the rules of heaven is "do not continue the life of mortals", Fu Sheng violated this rule eight years ago, and the day before yesterday he committed another "do not help the soul to become a soul".
He originally thought that two years later, your mother's soul would be scattered at the end of the term, and he would end the matter unconsciously, and he wouldn't have to worry about it every day.
But the day before yesterday, he committed another heavenly rule, this old immortal committed two heavenly rules in a row, if he was discovered, he would not be so at ease, he would definitely be arrested in the heavenly palace and suffer a hundred years of "pure land punishment".
The priest of the Heavenly Palace is busy with affairs every day, and he has turned around before and has not been discovered, but he can hide from the first day of junior high school, but he can't hide from the fifteenth. One day the priest will find out about it.
The Fusheng immortal thought of a way to hide this matter, he set up this monument for your mother, which was engraved on the day when your mother should have died, and the name of the person who erected the monument was also engraved with Qu Yanluo, so he had to lead you to worship, and he did all this to coax the priests of the underworld.
When the priests of the prefecture found the tomb eight years ago, they would definitely come to inspect it, and found that there was indeed a breath of worship for future generations in front of the tomb. Therefore, in the book of life and death, it is recorded that your mother died in the country of Shun'an in 879.
As for the reincarnation of the soul, it is a small problem, there are many people in the world who are too obsessed with death and do not enter the reincarnation, and become lonely souls and wild ghosts, wandering in the world. The control of the soul is indeed very lax. ”
The more Xu Fan spoke, the more excited he became, he walked around behind his back with his hands, and said: "Fusheng Immortal's skill is wonderful! As for why this sword is only a broken spiritual sense, it is aimed at you and your mother, the spirit formed by the soul is something that the heavenly priest can perceive.
However, there is a loophole, and that is that remnants and living creatures will be somewhat similar and cannot be distinguished by the eyes alone. You have to have a fight with this sword to be able to tell them apart. As long as you don't be too high-profile and use this sword to kill people indiscriminately, the priest will not make a special trip to fight you. At most, drag a dream and ask you.
Fu Sheng turned this hole, he was telling you that if a priest discovers the spirit in this wooden sword in the future. You will definitely ask the immortal to ask you about this sword spirit, and you will tell him that your sword is just your mother's only remaining spiritual sense, not a real sword spirit.
And your mother is grateful to the Fusheng Immortal, after listening to what the Fusheng Immortal told you, she must also understand that the Fusheng Immortal crossed her into a spirit and could not let the priest know, for the sake of insurance, when the priest came to investigate, she could also pretend to be fooled by the remnant spirit.
Also, why didn't Fu Sheng tell you directly? Of course, because he was an immortal, and his apprentice would also be an immortal in the future, and if he was heard, he would leave a hidden danger. Before renewing your mother's life, he did it at the foot of the mountain, so he must not have known about it.
The day before yesterday, your mother went to the Taoist temple to ask for the Fusheng Immortal, and the Fusheng Immortal must have been afraid that he would listen to it, so she told your mother that she could only leave a trace of her spiritual sense. Leaving a little spiritual sense is indeed not against the rules of heaven, and it is not a trick.
And just now the Fusheng Immortal told us about the previous life-renewal, and he must have thought that he had found a way to conceal this matter, so he didn't guard against his apprentice, and if he didn't transition to the fact that your mother became a sword spirit, he must not let his apprentice listen to it. ”
Qu Yanluo listened to Xu Fan's words in a daze, and held the wooden sword flying in the air in his arms again. Tears actually flowed again.
Xu Fan realized that he didn't get to the point, and hurriedly said, "Don't be sad." In principle, your mother is not dead, and she can always be by your side to protect you.
The most important thing is that if you enter the Xianmen cultivation after that, it is best to practice the way of the sword, when you have a certain amount of cultivation, your mother will also increase her mana as a sword spirit, and then her soul can come out of the sword, and you, as the master, can not only see her, but also talk to her. ”
With these words, Qu Yanluo seemed to have received great hope, looked up at Xu Fan, widened her eyes and asked, "Really?"
"Really, did I lie to you that you had candy?" Xu Fan smiled.
Qu Yanluo burst into tears and laughed all of a sudden, some baby fat little faces, and the smile was very cute.
She looked at the wooden sword in her arms, and suddenly remembered that every time she made a mistake when she was a child, she would be beaten, her mother always used this wooden sword as a stick, and hit her buttocks, the flesh on the buttocks was thick, and her mother didn't hit it hard, Qu Yanluo didn't feel pain every time she was beaten, just because it didn't hurt, Qu Yanluo always had an expression of "I dare next time".
And when she knelt in front of the tombstone just now, when her mother beat her, Qu Yanluo actually felt a lot of pain, and now it still hurts a little.
She smiled and rubbed her spanked buttocks, and said aggrievedly: "Mother, I know, I have to remind me that I don't have to be beaten so hard!"
In fact, Tian Dongyu sensed the strong sense of guilt in Qu Yanluo's heart, she didn't want her daughter to feel guilty for her death, so at that moment, she hit her very hard, because she wanted her daughter not to blame herself.
