Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Twilight of the World Chapter 260 - The Path of Leaving the Soul (1)
Xiang Bei has always been overwhelmed by the boulder in his heart. In addition, I don't know the other party's intentions, and I am always noncommittal. The young man broke the sky and seemed to penetrate Xiang Bei's mind at a glance.
"The boulder in your heart has nothing to do with me, as long as you want to, it doesn't exist. As he spoke, Xiang Bei stretched out his slender palm, Xiang Bei hesitated, seeing that he had no malicious intent, and subconsciously stretched out one of his hands.
With his palms together, he took Xiang Bei's hand and pulled it gently, Xiang Bei suddenly felt light, and he easily got out of the pressure of the boulder.
This sudden sense of relaxation made Xiang Bei feel relieved, and the hearty feeling of getting rid of all burdens made Xiang Bei suddenly feel that he could even breathe a lot lighter, "No matter who you are, I should thank you!"
If it weren't for your own physique, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to help you leave your soul so easily. ”
"Leaving the soul?" Xiang Bei was a little puzzled.
"yes, you'll see when you look back. ”
Xiang Bei turned his head to look back according to Potian's instructions, and jumped up in an instant. No, it's more like it's floating. Because he was horrified to find that there was still a haggard-looking young man lying on the bed, the former Seven Kills, and the identical self.
"He, me!" Even though he has always been a calm and calm boy of the Seven Killings, the Heavenly Seal Realm Guard, and the Captain of Great Xia, they are all shocked at this moment, yes, this is the soul not possessed by the body.
"Am I dead?" Xiang Bei was grabbed by an inexplicable sense of tension and oppression, and wanted to breathe hard, but found that it seemed that his entire chest cavity no longer existed, and he was just floating weakly in the air, because his body was light and fluttering, as if there was nothing, as if isolated from this world.
"You are not dead, but the feeling you can feel is a soul control technique that can only be experienced by cultivators who have cultivated into the Transformation Realm. Soul Departure. ”
Xiang Bei then recalled that when he listened to Tian Song explain the realm of cultivation to himself, he had heard the master tell him about this soul separation, but he also remembered that Tian Song said that even if he thought that his cultivation realm was already the leader of the Heavenly Seal, he only longed for it, and had not really seen it.
In this world within Kyushu, the world thinks that it is the only one who has won the favor of the Emperor of Heaven and inherited the spirit of all things in the ancient immortal veins, but this skin that carries the spirit of the immortal veins is not only a container prepared by the Emperor of Heaven for the immortals in this realm, but also a kind of shackles of the immortals.
Immortals exist because they live in the skin, and they will also fall with the damage of the skin. Therefore, the path to immortality that countless cultivators are eager to cultivate is first of all to be able to free their souls from the shackles of the physical body.
But often, once the spirit leaves the body, the body decays quickly, and it is not known where the soul returns.
Seeing that Xiang Bei was just a little flustered, but he didn't lose his mind, Potian couldn't help but admire, "I didn't expect your concentration to be not bad, I thought I left my soul for the first time, and I was so scared that I screamed." Okay, with the body of a wandering soul, you can travel freely in all the worlds of this world, go, the purpose of my coming to you is to take you to see the world as it is. ”
Xiang Bei wanted to look back at himself lying on the bed again, but when he looked back, what he saw was a tall deep mansion compound, and there were even round nails painted with gold paint on the closed Zhu door.
Xiang Bei couldn't help but wonder, what made him wonder was not only because he was in another place in the blink of an eye, but also because of the golden nails on this Zhu Gate, within the territory of Great Xia, only on the gate of the forbidden city where the emperor lived, the golden nails of the Zhu Gate representing the royal power were allowed to appear, but if this deep mansion compound was a forbidden city, it seemed to be much smaller in terms of regulation. In the dark, Xiang Bei felt that this house was familiar, but where he had seen it, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Go in and have a look. Breaking the sky pushed behind Xiang Bei's back, and the two of them penetrated the three-story courtyard wall at once, and then they were in the courtyard where life was boiling.
The courtyard was already crowded with soldiers in official uniforms, but those official uniforms were not from Great Xia. The torches held high in the hands of the officers and soldiers illuminated the entire courtyard as bright as day.
Surrounded by torches, there was a group of men, women, and children dressed only in pajamas. Among them, there was a tall middle-aged military general with bright eyes and a tall figure, who had obviously already resisted, and there were many new wounds on his face and body.
"I, Xiang Sheng, is worthy of my heart, I have worked hard to protect Beiliang, and I don't want the tiger to fall into Pingyang today, it's really God's eyesless......"
A boy with a sharp beak and a monkey cheek, with a black gold iron helmet on his slender head, but the tip of the head and narrow forehead make the helmet look extraordinarily spacious, like carrying an iron basin with a bamboo pole. Although he looked funny, everyone around him obviously knew his temper, and no one dared to laugh, even an old man with white hair who accompanied him, in order not to lose his temper, he tried to turn his face away and not look at his funny face.
Xiang Bei recognized it, this old man turned out to be the humerus of Beiliang, the eldest grandson Wujiang. Then, the strong man who just called himself Xiang Sheng, isn't it, isn't it his father......
I saw that the eldest grandson Wujiang, as the prime minister of Beiliang, was originally under one person and above ten thousand, but he nodded and bent over, as if he intended to please the sharp-eared monkey cheek soldier leader,
"Father-in-law Liang. Xiang Sheng, this kid is really sharp and stubborn. But father-in-law, you don't care about the villain, go back and rest, let me teach you a good lesson for this arrogant and unruly guy. ”
Liang Gonggong's face was born from the heart, not only was he obscene, but even his voice was sharp and abnormal, and he screamed in a weird way, "Lord Eldest Sun, our new emperor has just ascended the throne, presumably many rebellious ministers and thieves with bad intentions are not at ease, at this time, a mainstay like you should not stand in the wrong direction." The emperor has mercy on you, so he gave you this opportunity to make meritorious contributions, if you don't like it, then give me the opportunity. ”
After speaking, the Liang father-in-law turned his head and shouted to the crowd surrounded in the courtyard, "The rebellious ministers and thieves, the reckless man Xiang Sheng, is actually dissatisfied with the inheritance of the saint, colluded with the prince's party, and committed chaos. According to the law, the nine tribes should be punished. But the emperor is kind-hearted, and anyone who can take the initiative to stand up and expose Xiang Sheng's crimes can be spared death. ”
"If you have merit in exposing it, you can avoid death!"
"If you have merit in exposing it, you can avoid a death ......"
Father-in-law Liang shouted a few times, but there was no response in the crowd, which made Father-in-law Liang, who was in charge of raiding Xiang Sheng's house, feel greatly insulted, jumped up and stomped his feet and scolded,
"The stones in the pit are stinky and hard, all right, then I will fulfill you, come, cut me down, and burn his house. ”
"Father-in-law Liang!" General Xiang Sheng had never looked at this eunuch with a strange yin and yang spirit, but seeing that the butcher's knife was about to fall on the neck of his family, he couldn't help but plead.
"Father-in-law Liang, my Xiang family has been fighting horses all my life, and since the ancestor Xiang Tian, I have always tried my best to ensure that my Northern Liang country is not lost. It's no problem for you to want me Xiang Sheng to die on trumped-up charges, but can you let these subordinates go. They're all dragged with their families......"
"When you die, you dare to be hard-mouthed, you are arrogant and arrogant, the golden nails on the Zhu Gate, even in Great Xia, can only be used for the emperor's bedroom. ”
Xiang Sheng shook his head helplessly, "With such a deliberate mind, I Xiang Sheng really have nothing to say." And then he never said anything more.
The knife fell again and again, and in the courtyard of the Xiang family's house, people's heads rolled and blood flowed like a river. The eldest grandson couldn't bear to see it, so he turned around and quietly wiped away the two lines of old tears from the corners of his eyes.
Xiang Bei shouted and rushed towards General Xiang Sheng, whose arms were tied behind him, only to find that everyone around him, including General Xiang Sheng himself, was completely unaware of his existence.
Xiang Bei's iron fist at the executioners was like hitting the reflection in the water, which seemed to make the vivid figures in front of him shake, but after the shaking calmed down, those people were still just busy with their own movements, and they didn't feel Xiang Bei's existence at all.
"It's painful to see your loved ones suffering, but you can't do anything about it, isn't it?" Po Tian seemed to be understated on the side, turning a blind eye to the blood splashing around him and the heads rolling down on the ground.
......
No matter what Xiang Bei tried, he had no way to change the rhythm of those butcher knives falling, and finally Xiang Bei squatted on the ground, holding his head painfully, trying to calm down as much as possible.
"Is the general really not wrong?"
Ignoring Xiang Bei's powerless pain and despair, Po Tian asked another strange question.
The scene in front of him seemed to be covered by a curtain of water, and gradually became blurred, Xiang Bei rubbed his eyes, although he was still in the courtyard of the Xiang family, but at this time it was a scene of singing and dancing.
The eldest grandmother of Xiang's mansion was receiving a friend of General Huwei, who was generous and offered various jewels as a greeting gift, and then asked, "I heard General Xiang say that the family's house is going to be renovated?"
The eldest grandmother said casually, "Yes, the general is not at home all the year round, and it is rare that he can still think about his home." It's just that this house has fallen into disrepair for a long time, and I don't know where to start. ”
A friend patted his thigh and shouted, "Now grandma can rest assured, I'm specialized in this." You just have to leave it to me, and everything will be laid out for you. ”
The grandmother was full of joy, thinking that she had met a good person, but she didn't know that this friend had a son who was a bad gambler, and he lost at the gambling table, and had an argument with the guard in the casino, stabbed the guard to death, and was on death row. Just when he sold his family property and went around, Liang's father-in-law suddenly came to the door.
"I can save your son, but you have to go to Xiangfu to do an incident. ”
So, the grandmother really did the shopkeeper, and this friend did things quickly, and soon renovated the entire mansion. Among them, of course, are those golden spikes installed on the front door.
......
"Do you think General Wuwei only has grievances?"
Potian couldn't help but interject again, this time the voice did not fall, and the scene in front of him once again made an astonishing change. In General Xiang Sheng's study, General Xiang, who rarely returned home, was splashing ink.
Suddenly, a young and beautiful maid brought a bowl of ginger tea to General Xiang, and after putting down the tea bowl, she also said one more sentence, "The weather is cold, General Xiang drinks this bowl of ginger tea to get rid of the cold." ”
Xiang Sheng took the tea bowl and drank it all, and in a blink of an eye, he found that a burning sensation began to collide and rise in his chest and abdomen, and gradually his eyes became red, and he pounced on the maid like a beast.
"General, don't, general, let me go......" The little maid was still a half-grown girl, and although she struggled hard, she was directly pressed down on the bookcase by Xiang Sheng, who was full of interest. Under the violent shaking of the desk, the girl's bitter crying became smaller and quieter until it disappeared.
"This?" Xiang Bei couldn't believe in his eyes.
