Chapter 10: Refining the Soul of the Dead
Feng Jiu Ge sat cross-legged in the cave mansion, she wanted to calm down and stop thinking about Chu Yifan, but for some reason, the scene that happened in the spirit pool that day would always come to her mind, the person who had nothing to do with her but died because of her, she could not have cared about this, because no one would care about the life and death of an ant, but she was a little sad in her heart at the moment.
Feng Jiu Ge opened her eyes slightly, took the two beads that Mu Chen gave her in her hands and looked at them, stood up, and slowly walked out of the cave. She came to a rocky side, dug a pit with her sword, put two beads in it, and covered it with fine earth. She stood on the edge of the mountain rock for a long time, her expression was still like ice, a breeze blew gently, her long hair fluttered, she raised her eyes to look in the direction of Taichu Peak, and murmured: "Although you are not harmed by me, but you died because of me, if there is an afterlife, don't go on this road again..."
Life is like a snow, starting from the sky and ending on the earth, life is like a leaf, starting from spring and ending in autumn, life is like a dream, starting from the night and ending with day. But whether it's snow or leaves, or dreams, they are all in an endless cycle of reincarnation. The snow will melt, but it will still come to the earth in the form of snow the next winter, the leaves will wither, but it will melt into the soil and nourish new life, and the dream will awaken, but it will also appear when the next night comes. Everything in the world has a beginning and an end, but the beginning may not be the beginning, and the end may not be the end.
A month has passed in a flash, and no one in Beili Palace has ever talked about Chu Yifan, and in most people's memories, it seems that he has never appeared.
Although Taichu Peak is one of the five peaks of Beili, but I don't know why there is no owner here, it is like a lonely soul standing between heaven and earth, perhaps, it has a story, there are secrets, but outsiders don't know!
There is a bottomless ravine under the cliff of Taichu Peak, and the depths of this ravine are blood-red, as if there is a sea of fire rolling. There is a body of water a few feet away from the ravine, this water is as scarlet as blood, there are a large number of bubbles in the water tumbling out, scattered around this water area are forest white bones, there are beasts, there are also people, I don't know how many years have been dead, on the side of one of the white bones, at this moment lies a corpse, this corpse is blurred with flesh and blood, has begun to decompose, and the smell is inaudible.
I don't know how long later, the blood-like water suddenly rolled violently, setting off a monstrous wave, at this moment, the water rolled countless white bones and slowly sank, at the same time, a glowing platform slowly rose, on that platform there seemed to be a figure as if there was nothing, the figure hung his head, cross-legged meditation.
After a while, the platform no longer rose, and the figure was no longer absent, but clearly visible. Looking closely, he was unkempt, skinny, full of white hair, wearing a black robe, obviously an old man who had lived for an unknown number of years. After a few breaths, I saw the old man slowly raise his head, take a deep breath, and slowly speak: "The old man has been sleeping here for a hundred years, a whole hundred years... You owe me what you owe me!"
The old man stood up, and then he frowned slightly, as if he smelled a strange smell, and with a sweep of his eyes, he found a carrion not far away that had not been swept away by the blood. The old man approached and took a closer look at the carrion corpse, was stunned for a moment, and frowned even tighter: "This is... This is the smell of bone books, why does this corpse smell of bone books?"
The old man raised his hand and pinched the trick and pointed at the carrion corpse, and in an instant, I saw the carrion shaking violently, making a wailing sound, it seemed to be asking the old man for help. The old man's eyes shrank, and he secretly spoke: "The bone book has become one with this person, saving this person is saving the bone book, he can't die!"
When the words fell, the old man waved his hand, and the rotting corpse slowly stood up and walked forward with the old man. Half an hour later, a person and a corpse came to a rock wall, at this moment, the old man raised his hand and pushed forward, "boom" A loud sound came, the rock wall seemed to be torn open by two invisible forces, and a stone gate gradually took shape.
The old man strode into the stone gate, and as he walked, he spoke to the rotting corpse behind him: "Bone book, bone book, fortunately you met the old man today, if you meet someone else, I'm afraid you will fall forever!"
It was at this time that a voice came from the body of the carrion: "Unlucky, really unlucky... This time I actually found such a useless master, and my eternal wisdom is ruined, all destroyed!"
The old man laughed a few times and continued to speak: "If you choose it, you will accept it!" I don't know who is so ruthless that he actually attacked such a little doll, and the methods are so cruel, sad and hateful!"
After a few breaths, the old man stopped, waved his big hand, and at this moment a layer of mist appeared in front of him, and in the mist, stone chairs and stone tables could be faintly seen, and there was a copper furnace floating in mid-air.
Just as the old man was walking towards the mist, a voice came from the body of the rotting corpse: "Old man, who are you?
The old man walked slowly, did not speak, and the voice continued: "In my memory, the only technique that can bring people back to life is the corpse refining and soul restoration technique in the corpse technique of the Southern Regions Miao Jiang Soul Restoration Sect, can you do this kind of technique? Even if you can, this person is rotten like this, can you still be saved? By the way, old man, let me tell you another bad news, this person's soul was burned by that bullshit real person..."
The old man did not answer, but walked around the carrion corpse, and said: "There are no eyes, no heart, no soul, it is indeed more difficult to do!
The rotting corpse jumped naughtily, and his body shook and took two steps forward: "Old man, don't you want to lie to me, can you really save this person?"
"There's a lot of nonsense, just try it!" After the words fell, the old man raised his right hand and pointed to the copper furnace in front of him, and the sound of humming suddenly spread, and at the same time, the copper furnace floating in mid-air also spun rapidly at this moment. That is, a few breaths, there was a "bang", and the lid of the copper furnace popped out violently, hanging above the copper furnace and buzzing.
At this moment, the old man's eyes were slightly closed, his spiritual sense spread, and he went straight to the copper furnace. After a while, I saw two black spheres the size of eyeballs slowly rising from the copper furnace, the old man withdrew his spiritual sense, and grabbed it with his right hand in the air, and the two black spheres immediately flew over. The old man placed the two spheres in the palm of his left hand, spread the five fingers of his right hand, and slowly pressed towards the palm of his left hand. At this moment, a small lightning bolt flashed between the old man's hands, and the lightning became more and more, and the two spheres also floated up, spinning wildly between the old man's two palms. Lightning passes through the sphere and makes a "snort" sound. The sphere turned from black to red, and then from red to black, as if it was undergoing some kind of metamorphosis.
After a while, the old man took a deep breath, and the lightning between his palms slowly disappeared, and the two spheres were suspended in mid-air, although they were still black, they were much brighter than when they first flew out of the copper furnace. On closer inspection, these two orbs resemble a pair of eyes, scanning the air in all directions.
The old man's eyes flashed, and he said to the two spheres: "Go, go and become his eyes, see the world clearly for him!"
The orb shook violently a few times, as if in response to the old man, and then flew towards the hollow eye socket of the rotting corpse. At this moment, two golden rays of light emanated from the eyes of the rotting corpse, with coercion, as if they wanted to see through everything in this world.
After the golden light, the eyes of the rotting corpse suddenly blinked a few times, as if it had come to life. At this moment, the voice in the body of the rotting corpse rang out: "I can see, I can see... Good means, old man, but... Why do these eyes feel weird?"
The old man shook his head, and said proudly like an old pedant: "It's cheap, this little doll is cheap, this is a good thing that the old man has saved for hundreds of years, an ancient god-killing thing, a demon spirit bead." This bead has been refined by me, and it can be used as a human eye, not only can see through the hearts of people in the world, but also see through the void, and any demons and monsters must appear in front of this eye!"
"God-killing thing, that's a treasure..."
The old man nodded slightly, and continued: "Whether it is this little doll or your bone book, we meet today because of fate, I want to give you three gifts, and you have to promise me one condition, otherwise, I will take back the demon spirit, and you will fend for yourself!"
"What conditions? old man, you tell me to listen..."
The old man glanced at the carrion corpse: "My condition is that this little doll will be my disciple after waking up, how about it?"
"What condition should I have, that's all, I'll make the decision for him..."The voice of the bone book came from the body of the rotting corpse again.
"Cunning old man, don't you just want the Three Profound Nine Heavens Secret Technique, Uncle Ben just won't tell you, even if this kid lives, I won't tell you... Hmph, if it weren't for Uncle Ben's weakness at the moment, where would I need you... Unlucky, really unlucky, how did you find such a useless master!" The voice of the bone book sounded in the rotting corpse, but it didn't come out at the moment, and the old man couldn't hear it.
"Old man, you just said that you want to give three gifts, which three are there?"
As soon as the words fell, I saw that the old man jumped up suddenly, and in a flash, his body fell on the lid of the copper furnace that had stopped rotating, he stood with his hands in his hands, and slowly spoke: "The first gift has been given by the old man, it is the demon spirit, and the second gift is a soul, an ancient dragon soul." Although this dragon soul is mutilated, it has existed for 10,000 years, and it was accidentally obtained by the old man in Tianhai five hundred years ago, and after five hundred years, it should also find a master!"
After speaking, I saw the old man raise his foot and slam on the lid of the copper furnace, and the sound of humming spread in an instant, echoing in all directions, and at the same time, an earth-shattering roar came from the copper furnace, and after a few breaths, a dragon soul about dozens of zhang long flew out. A dragon roared and roared, as if it was about to tear the earth apart and break the sky. The dragon soul soared in the air for a few breaths and stopped in front of the old man, and the domineering aura disappeared in an instant, turning into a very well-behaved appearance. The old man stretched out his hand and touched the dragon's head, nodded with a smile: "You and I have been together for hundreds of years, you should also have a master, go, he is more suitable for you than me, and he also needs you!"
The dragon soul looked sideways at the carrion corpse, and let out a long roar, as if he was a little reluctant, the old man saw this, and continued to speak: "Go, go..."
In an instant, I saw the dragon soul flash into the body of the rotting corpse, replacing the remnant soul that originally belonged to the rotting corpse. The dragon soul entered the body, and a faint purple light emitted from the carrion corpse, and after a few breaths, I saw a flash of purple light, and the carrion returned to its original state, which was exactly what Chu Yifan looked like, but at this moment his face was pale and lifeless. At this time, the voice of the bone book came from Chu Yifan's body: "Okay, all right, old man, you really have some ability... Look at you like this, aren't you the Beili Patriarch? Only the Beili Patriarch has this kind of realm..."
The old man laughed: "My master, Patriarch Beili, fell hundreds of years ago, and I... It's his lineage disciple Taichu..."
Gu Shu hesitated for a moment, and continued: "Old man Taichu, didn't you say that there are three gifts? What is this third one? Hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait!"
Taichu coughed dryly: "It's not big, it's not small, it's called Master!"
"Oh, when you revive him, call your master every day, it's not too late... Tell me, tell me what the third gift is?"
Tai Chu sighed and said, "The third gift is the Seven Clever Heart... It's just that this old man still has to look for it!"
