The golden light continued to expand, eventually enveloping the Wraith King entirely.
But seeing that the color of the body of the Wraith King gradually darkened, it began to return to blue again. When the four Confucian disciples saw this, they were all pleased.
But in the blue and golden light, it was clearly seen that hundreds of gray breaths were scurrying back and forth, forced by the golden light, and gradually detached from the resentful spirit king.
Although the gray breath is formless, it makes people palpitate and feel extremely uncomfortable when they see it. Gong Hanyuan hurriedly said: "Everyone retreats, don't be stuck with resentment." β
As soon as everyone retreated a few steps away, a gray aura was forced out by the golden light, and they fled violently, trying to find a new body.
However, resentment is only a consciousness and cannot exist in the world alone. As soon as he rushed a few feet away, he vanished and completely died. It's just that at the last moment when the resentment collapsed, a terrible scream sounded in everyone's minds, and this scream seemed to be full of all the sorrows in the world, which made people feel sad and couldn't help crying.
One after another, the resentment was forced out of the body, and after the last resentment died, the resentful spirit king's body was dark blue, and his breath was unusually peaceful.
After the Wraithing King opened his arms and released Xiao Yi, he suddenly became smaller rapidly. A moment later, the originally huge and formless Resentful Spirit King was condensed into Ran Linfu's appearance.
The four Confucians shouted in unison, "Uncle Ran." β
"Ran Linfu" smiled in return and nodded approvingly. His body was as blue as a pool of sea, and when people looked at it, their hearts were pure and far away from the world. Moreover, there is a ghostly light all around, like a dream. It's amazing.
"Xiao Yixian, thank you. In Xiao Yi's mind, he remembered Ran Linfu's voice and knew that he was communicating with him in the soul technique. Xiao Yi replied: "It's the kid who should thank Uncle Ran, if it weren't for the kid, Uncle Ran wouldn't have died in another country." β
"Ran Linfu" said: "Kill yourself." It is the duty of a Confucian disciple. You don't have to blame yourself. After Ran's death, he became a resentful spirit that harmed people, and that was the most terrible thing. β
Xiao Yi asked, "Uncle Ran, you are already a soul body, what are your plans for the future?"
"Ran Linfu" raised his hand to look at his crystal clear hands, and said with a smile: "I once heard a novelist say that the soul technique of the Guigu School is realized by the soul, and now that I have become the body of the soul, maybe I can also cultivate the soul path." I don't know. β
Xiao Yi knew that he was comforting himself, and his heart was even more sad. He took out the inkstone and said, "Uncle Ran, this inkstone has the effect of resisting resentful spirits, and you can protect yourself from resentful spirits by staying here." β
"Ran Linfu" was overjoyed and said, "It's so good." "You're welcome, your mind moves. Then he took pictures of the inkstone. For him, death was terrible. The fear is that after death, I will become a ghost. He played with it for a while, but he felt that it could stimulate the effect of the inkstone, and he was not very happy, and before he could say anything, he suddenly twisted his head and swept past the group of ants. Looking into the distance, he said, "There are more powerful monsters coming this way, it should be the natural nemesis of the soul, I have to leave immediately." The four unfilial sons of Confucianism asked Xiao Yixian's nephew to take care of them. β
Xiao Yi saw that his expression was a little flustered, so he said, "It is incumbent!"
"Ran Linfu" smiled with relief. He glanced back at the four Confucian disciples one by one, and then rose three feet from the ground and left quickly.
Xiao Yi and the four of Confucianism watched the blue figure gradually disappear into the distance, unable to see it anymore, and still couldn't bear to withdraw their gaze.
After "Ran Linfu" went, the world instantly darkened. Only in the other direction, on the land that has not been trampled by the Soul Eater Ants, there are still some souls sparsely left, emitting a glimmer of light.
Just saved a loved one, another loved one has left. The four Confucians were depressed and had a hard time adapting.
At this time, a dense sound of stepping on the ground aroused everyone's alarm. Based on previous experience, the sound of stomping on the ground must have been caused by a Soul Eater running away. But the sound was unusually loud, and it was no ordinary Soul Eater ant.
"Brother Xiao Yi, what should we do next?" everyone asked. Among all the people here, except for Shen Yirou, Xiao Yi is young, but after seeing his means of killing ants, invisibly, everyone is the only one who looks to him.
Xiao Yi opened his eyes, withdrew from the realm of heaven and man, and said, "It's an ant queen, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with." I'll resist for a while, and you go first. β
Nangong Xiaoli immediately disagreed: "Everyone has difficulties to share, advance and retreat together, how can you be left here alone." β
Gonghan said: "If we stay, we will become a burden to Xiao Yi's friends, so it's better to go first." β
Seeing that Nangong Xiaoli's face changed, and he was about to have a seizure, Xiao Yi hurriedly said: "What Gonghan's predecessor said is very true, you go first, and I will arrive later." β
Nangong Xiaoli was still to argue, Ji Xiaocheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Just listen to the arrangement of Brother Xiao Yi." β
During this period of time, Xiao Yi finally saw the differences between the various factions. The doctrines of each sect are different, and the way of dealing with people is very different. Secretly shook his head, thinking to himself that it is no wonder that for ten thousand years, none of the factions can serve anyone. When he saw that Ming Xuan had broken a leg, he said to Nangong Xiaoli: "I'm tired of Brother Nangong taking care of my senior brother." β
Nangong Xiaoli set up Mingxuan and said, "What does the virtuous brother say. β
When they were about to leave, there was another dispute over how to dispose of Ran Linfu's body. Confucianism attaches great importance to funeral rites, and after a person dies, the body must be put into the ancestral grave and the soul will return to the hometown. Duanmu Xiaoyun carried Ran Linfu's body and left, and there was no fault.
However, Gong Hanyuan's sentence: "Brother Ran's soul is here, do you want to bring his corpse back to Qingzhou and let his soul corpse be in two places?" caused objections.
However, the world does not know whether there is a soul after death, so when a wanderer dies in a foreign land, he must also bring him home to reunite with his family. And today, everyone clearly saw Ran Linfu's soul, and it was certain that Ran Linfu's soul would never return to Qingzhou with his corpse.
As a result, it is confusing whether the body should be taken away or left behind.
Xiao Yidan heard that the ant queen had come closer, and his heart was anxious, so he said: "Although Uncle Ran has passed away, his soul is still alive, and his consciousness and memory are still alive. For us, Uncle Ran is just breaking away from a skin, transforming into a form, and continuing to live in the world. β
The four Confucians all nodded in agreement. Xiao Yi continued: "Since for us, Uncle Ran is not dead, why should we bring his body back to Qingzhou, thousands of miles away, and it is better to stay here? β
Ji Xiaocheng said: "Brother Xiao Yi said it well. Uncle Ran continues to live here, so let's let him stay here. β
Nangong Xiaoli said: "Qingshan buries loyal bones everywhere, why do you need to return the body of the horse leather?" He put down Ming Xuan, suddenly knelt down in front of Ran Linfu's body, slammed his head three times, and then didn't speak, picked up Ming Xuan, and walked away first.
The remaining three also kowtowed one after another, and deliberated slightly, lest their bodies be devoured by the soul eaters, so they sank under the weak water.
Then, a total of six people from the three families of Confucianism, Taoism, and Yin and Yang supported each other, dragged their tired bodies, and walked forward.
Shen Yirou turned back three times in one step, her eyes were full of worry, and she said softly: "Brother Xiao, take care." (To be continued.) )
