Chapter 172: Speculation
Luo Yin guessed that Xiao Ling had obtained the book of life and death, the treasure of heaven and earth, and then he could control the life and death of living beings in the world.
"But, it's not right, if he really got the legendary book of life and death, why are we still alive now?" Xiao Bai had a flash of inspiration in his heart, and found a huge loophole in this speculation that was difficult to justify.
"That's right, that's a good question, if my guess is true, then why are we still alive?" Luo Yin smiled at Xiao Bai, "There are only two possibilities, one is that my guess is completely wrong, there is no life and death book at all, Xiao Ling kills people silently through other methods, such as weird spells and the like." ”
"The second is that there is indeed a book of life and death, and he gave it to him, but this book of life and death is not the all-powerful treasure of heaven and earth in the legend, but a fake, imitation, defective product, or the power of this book of life and death is limited, and he cannot exert the true power of the book of life and death. Only these two possibilities can explain the current state of affairs and why we are still alive. ”
Xiao Bai nodded, there were indeed only these two possibilities, and after thinking about it, he said, "But how to explain Xiao Shan's words before he died? If he did discover Xiao Ling's secret, then the first possibility is wrong." ”
Indeed, all our inferences are derived from Xiao Shan's words before his death, and if his words are true, then the second guess is the most likely truth. The Book of Life and Death in Xiao Ling's hand may be an imitation or a defective product, not the legendary treasure, or the function of the Book of Life and Death is limited, and it has serious flaws that Xiao Ling cannot exert its true power. A smile appeared on Luo Yin's face, "If that's the case, we have the possibility of escaping from him, but ......"
"But what?" Xiao Bai asked strangely.
"But what is the flaw of this book of life and death?" Luo Yin asked another question.
"Flaw, a flaw that makes him unable to manipulate life and death wantonly?" Xiao Bai began to think desperately about this question in his mind, looking for a possible answer.
Luo Yin, on the other hand, was driving the carriage on the side, waiting to see if Xiao Bai could find out what the problem was, wanting to see if he was thinking the same as himself, so as to confirm his conjecture.
Xiao Bai's mind began to recall everything that happened not long ago, from all the things that happened after he returned to the Xiao family, recalling Xiao Ling's every move and every word he said, recalling all the things that Xiao Dai and Xiao Shan had in common with the strange death. Slowly, his eyes lit up, and he felt as if he had found a problem.
Luo Yin looked at the smile on Xiao Bai's face and asked, "It seems that you have a guess, let me listen to it and see if it is the same as I think." ”
"I looked back on everything that happened in the past, and recalled the details of Xiao Dai and Xiao Shan before their deaths over and over again, and finally found a common denominator. Before Xiao Shan and Xiao Dai died, they were both injured and bleeding. Xiao Bai slowly said his guess.
"Go on. Luo Yin waited for his follow-up conjecture.
"When Xiao Dai was competing with Xiao Ling, he was pierced in the chest by Xiao Ling's sword, and when we checked Xiao Shan's body, we found that he also had a sword wound on his arm, which was the only thing in common between the two people. They were all injured and bleeding!" The more Xiao Bai thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct.
"Since both of them were injured on Xiao Ling's hands, there are two possibilities, one is that Xiao Ling's sword is poisonous, and an undetectable poison killed them, but we are now assuming that Xiao Ling got the defective Book of Life and Death, and then looking for the flaws of the Book of Life and Death, so this possibility is not considered for the time being. ”
"Then the second possibility is that this book of life and death requires the opponent's injury to take effect, or rather the opponent's blood to take effect. There are many secret methods in the immortal cultivation world that require the blood of the other party to kill, and this flawed book of life and death may be the same. ”
A smile appeared at the corner of Luo Yin's mouth, Xiao Bai was actually a very smart person, but he didn't usually show it, or he didn't give him a chance to perform.
"That's right, you're guessing exactly the same as I am. Legend has it that as long as the name of a person is written in the book of life and death, the person can die at a specified time and in a prescribed manner. But the one Xiao Ling got may be a defective product or a genuine product with limited power, so it is not as powerful as the legend. It needs the blood of its opponents to write its name, and only then can it control life and death. ”
When Luo Yin said this, his face became solemn, "Although all this is just our guess, this is already the most likely guess." As long as Xiao Ling gets the blood of the person he wants to kill, and then uses the blood to write the name of that person in the book of life and death, that person will die silently. Therefore, if we encounter Xiao Ling again, we must not be injured or bleed, otherwise we are likely to die like Xiao Dai and Xiao Shan. ”
Although Xiao Bai and Luo Yin's speculation is just speculation, it is infinitely close to the truth. It's just that there is one thing they haven't guessed, manipulating life and death is only a very insignificant function of this book of life and death, and its biggest effect is to make the holder become the son of heaven and earth and get the blessing of heaven and earth. And this, in the absence of information, is something that the two of them could not guess in any case.
If Xiao Ling knew that his biggest secret had been discovered, he would probably kill the two of them at all costs.
Listening to Luo Yin's reminder, Xiao Bai nodded, but then said: "Brother Luo, you need to be careful not to get hurt, because your cultivation is similar or even slightly better than him, and it is difficult for him to kill you without using such means as the Book of Life and Death." But I'm different, Xiao Ling's cultivation is far stronger than me, if he wants to kill me, it doesn't have to be so complicated at all, I'll be finished with a sword. ”
Luo Yin said with a smile: "If we can become a disciple of the Yunxiao Sect, with the cultivation of the number one sect in the Eastern Earth Divine Prefecture, you may not be able to surpass him in the future." Anyway, there's nothing wrong with being careful. ”
"Well, listen to Brother Luo, I hope I can really have that luck to enter the Yunxiao Sect this time. Xiao Bai didn't have any bottom in his heart about joining the Yunxiao Sect, he was very clear about his qualifications, if he wanted to become a disciple of the Yunxiao Sect, it was difficult, it was very difficult, it was very difficult.
The topic slowly led to the Yunxiao Sect, Xiao Bai, an authentic Great Jin Immortal Cultivator, still had some understanding of the Yunxiao Sect, which ruled the Eastern Earth Immortal Cultivation Realm, so he slowly introduced it to Luo Yin.
In the carriage, the two chatted while driving the carriage to the north.
While chatting with Xiao Bai, Luo Yin began to think about how to deal with Xiao Ling, the dragon Aotian. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his eyes, and he thought of a way.
"Xiao Ling, don't let me meet you, otherwise I will definitely let you taste the killer weapon I prepared for you, so that you will not come back!"
