Chapter 39: Try
No matter what happened in the Hall of Trials today would cause waves in the Scorching Sun Sect, Ling Yi returned to his small courtyard by himself.
Closing the door, he sat down at the table and took out the ancient books that Elder Li had given him.
The ancient books are very worn, and the covers are badly worn, and I don't know how many years ago.
Strangenacle!
This is the name of this ancient book.
Flipping through the cover, the catalogue lists many strange names, including mutated beasts, rare medicinal herbs, and mysterious items that only exist in legends.
For other things, Ling Yi was not interested in it for the time being.
Fingers were swiped down one by one, and finally on the second page of the catalog, I saw the words Qiangang Soul Devouring Fire.
Flipped through the page number.
Qiangang Soul Devouring Fire is unique to the Nine Hidden Underworld, which is specially used to devour the souls of the dead as fuel, the more it is devoured, the more fierce the flames become, it is red at the beginning, and when it burns to a certain extent, its core can even turn golden, which is a strange and strange fire of the first rank in the world.
He had heard about the fire once from his master, and when he looked back, he saw a burning flame drawn on the page.
There's nothing special about the flames, it's the color that's special.
Ling Yi took the ancient book and looked left and right, and even opened the red fire pupil to compare it carefully, and finally came to the conclusion that the color of the flame on the page was still exactly the same as the red fire in his mind.
"Could it be that the flame in my head is really a thousand gang soul devouring fire?"
Ling Yi frowned.
He originally wanted to find out the true face of the flame from this ancient book, but when he really saw this book, he realized that what the master had told him before was all that was introduced in this book.
At most, it's just one more picture.
"Soul Eater...... Soul Eater ......"
Ling Yi muttered in a low voice, his face groaning.
"What if...... If you want to find out if this fire is a Qiangang Soul Devouring Fire, there may be only one way. ”
He was thinking in his heart, and the red fire pupils began to drift away.
Everything began to clear in front of me, and looking out of the window with a large hole, a rat was flying past the courtyard wall.
However, this flying speed was just a replay of slow motion in Ling Yi's eyes.
So much so that after Ling Yi found this mouse, Shi Shiran stood up, opened the door, and then picked up two fingers and pinched the mouse into his hand.
"Squeak!"
Suddenly attacked, the rat panicked and struggled.
"Be honest!"
Ling Yi frowned, and his other hand flicked the mouse's head, and the poor little guy suddenly lost his ability to resist and passed out directly.
"Don't blame me for being cruel, you have stolen a lot of food in my house, so you should give it back to me now. ”
Ling Yi shook his head and carried the mouse back into the house.
At the moment when the door was closed, his red fire pupils suddenly flourished, and he not only saw his small courtyard clearly, but also explored everything within a radius of about a mile.
He closed the door until he confirmed that there were no suspicious persons.
He can't be careless, the next test he will do will be his biggest secret, and it must not be revealed.
Grabbing the faint rat in his hand, Ling Yi closed his eyes and probed into his spiritual world with his divine sense, and suddenly a large puff of red flames rushed towards him.
As soon as his divine consciousness entered it, it immediately attracted the madness of Red Flame, and it rushed towards his divine consciousness like life.
Ling Yi had already been prepared for this, this red fire was already burning his divine sense, his internal force, and even his physical body all the time in his spiritual world.
Carefully placing his divine consciousness at the edge of the spiritual world, Ling Yi was on guard, and when the red fire rushed towards him, he suddenly shrank his divine consciousness back and quickly withdrew from the spiritual world.
Whoop –
With a light sound, although his divine consciousness retreated quickly, he was still licked by the outermost flames of the red fire, and a sharp pain like a pinprick suddenly came from his brain, and a small piece of the divine consciousness that penetrated into the spiritual world directly evaporated.
Fortunately, he retreated in time, and although his divine sense was damaged, it only made him feel a little pain, and it did not cause serious mental damage.
And with the withdrawal of his divine consciousness, a small red flame was also brought out from the spiritual world, which was about to be extinguished.
Ling Yi didn't dare to slack off, and immediately threw in more divine consciousness to storm the past.
His consciousness stretched into a large net, enveloping the small flame layer by layer, while also providing more consciousness to help it burn.
Then, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly controlled the divine consciousness wrapped into a ball to rush straight out along the meridians of his hand.
Finally, he succeeded in knocking the flame out of his hand and landing on top of the unconscious mouse's head.
"Squeak————!
As soon as the rat that had been concussed by him came into contact with the flames, the whole body of the rat suddenly writhed violently, and the small rat eyes tore their sockets even more, and their mouths let out a painful roar.
But Ling Yi saw that not even a single mouse hair was burned on the mouse's head.
The small flame seemed to take root on the rat's head, like a candle flame with a little bit of a star, faint but burning steadily.
The rat's struggle continued, but apparently it didn't help.
The red light in Ling Yi's eyes was dazzling, and he didn't let go of any change in the flames.
Then he saw that this flame was slowly growing!
From the small flame at the beginning, it slowly grew to the size of an index finger, and then it became as big as an adult's fist.
In contrast, the rat's increasingly faint struggle, and the dimming of the light in the rat's eyes.
The body of the mouse was still intact, and not even a single mouse hair had been burned, but Ling Yi felt that the body of the mouse in his hand had gradually become cold and no longer lifeless.
Looking at it with red fire pupils, Ling Yi felt that what he was pinching was an empty shell with the appearance of a mouse, and everything inside seemed to be gone.
"Devouring...... Soul?"
He looked at the mouse, and watched as the red flame slowly faded because of the mouse's death.
This burning is the soul of a mouse, right?
When the flame was no longer combustible, and after trembling a few times, it was finally extinguished, Ling Yi's face was calm, and he slashed the body of the mouse with a light finger.
Blood, water, internal organs, and so on flowed out, all intact.
This further confirmed Ling Yi's conjecture, what this red flame liked to devour the most was indeed the soul, or rather...... Soul!
"Qiangang Soul Devouring Fire?"
He muttered to himself, and his expression could not tell whether he was sad or happy.
With such a sea of fire in his mind, is it good or bad for him?
Will there be a day......
Ling Yi lowered his head, looked at the mouse corpse in his hand, and couldn't help but think.
Will one day, like this mouse, he be burned and devoured by the red fire that consumes his soul?
