Chapter 45: The Soul Disappears
Miao County, the land god domain. Xun Yi Yin God returned to his place, with a bang, and a large number of cards fell on his body.
Time in the library is different from the outside world, roughly ten to one. Xun Yi stayed inside for a long time, and the outside had just passed a cup of tea.
"How's it going?"
"With the beast retreating into the earth, and the protection of Mother Earth's spell, it will be difficult for us to find him. Wen Judao looked at Xun Yi: "Son, what are you?"
"Oh, I've found some ways to deal with the beasts in the library. Xun Yi put away the cards, took out one of the cards, and with a light wave, there was a purple-green sharp-billed bird standing on his shoulder. "This is the sun-moving bird, a genus of beasts. ”
"Yunri birds?" Wen Juan recalled the ancient books: "Huimu knows Yan, Yin knows the rain, this is the legendary poisonous bird that can sense the weather?"
"Hmm. Xun Yi got up: "Now go and deal with the beast, with this bird here, it should be able to reduce the consumption of divine power." ”
Xun Yi directly withdrew his troops after seeing the true beast, and one of the biggest reasons was that he was unwilling to consume the divine power of the city god's reserves. And Wen Juan took the opportunity to propose that Xun Yi use his identity as a city god to go to the Great Zhou Shinto Library to check the information. This is the most common tactic used in foreign wars. One person is short, but if you use the wisdom of the entire Heavenly Court Library, you can defeat even if you encounter a high-ranking alien god.
......
"In other words, this time your Earth Mother Divine Palace is tossing around in Qinglong City, in fact, it is to consume the City God Power of Qinglong City?"
"That's right. The Great Priest's face sank like water, and he quietly looked at the map underground. The light and shadow symbolizing the beast on it disappeared without a trace under his protection, and it was difficult for the people of the city god to detect. "The main purpose of this time is just to observe the situation of the City God's Mansion and consume the divine power reserves left by Cao Hou. ”
The people of the Evil Spirit Hall were thoughtful: Yes, even if this acting city god has great power, how much divine power has he spent in just a few days?
A mere mortal, he can't replenish his divine power. Relying only on the transformation of the divine power of the City God's Mansion itself, the savings of a few days were completely insufficient.
"When Cao Hou fought in a different continent, there was not much divine power stored in the mansion. After these few days, he used his divine power to consume. There wasn't much divine power left in the entire Qinglong City. The Great Priest silently calculated, the entire Miao County was covered by Xun Yi's "Dead Wood in Spring", although it was temporarily ensured that the people would not die due to the plague, but the consumption of divine power was too large, so it was impossible to deal with the beasts violently.
"Then add another fodder to him. Let the beast give birth to snake eggs and bury them in the soil, and focus the energy of the Chenghuang Mansion on Miao County. "The Grand Priest consulted with the people of the Evil Spirit Temple, and the red-robed man with the mask cast a spell to manipulate the beast and lay snake eggs in the depths of the earth. These snake eggs with epidemic qi can still harm one party if they break out in the future.
......
Land Temple, the long-eared canine rabbit, that is, the rabbit called the big white by Xun Yi, crawled on Xun Yi's body like a dog's legs, and looked at Xun Yi's card with coveted eyes.
"What, you want to be extracted by me and refined into a card?" Xun Yi asked the White Rabbit with a smile. Gently touching the white fur of the rabbit, it seems to be pondering something.
Da Bai shuddered for a moment, and his heart was worried, but he remembered his purpose, and said flatteringly: "Young master, do you have long-eared rabbits in these cards? If you are useless, can you give it to the little animal?"
"Your kindred?" Xun Yi cast the dead wood in spring, shook slightly, and a group of rabbits appeared around him. "Why do you want to mate with them? If that's the case, I can record it for you. ”
"It probably wants to use these spirits to level up. Suddenly, a slight voice sounded in his ears, Xun Yi's heart trembled, and he turned his head to look around.
Although Wen Juan and the others were there, no one spoke.
"Don't look, they can't see me. A cyan dragon pattern slowly climbed up from Xun Yi's neck. "Anyway, I'm the soul of the Heavenly Dragon, how can these people easily find me?"
Xiao Qinglong turned into a tattoo and stayed on Xun Yi's body, even Wen Juan and the others were not aware of its existence.
The tattoo wandered away, and finally landed on Xun Yi's arm: "This kind of card is used by the gods of fortune as a summoned beast, in which extracting the spirit beast spirit can help the demon spirits of the same clan to upgrade to the level." ”
"Eat the same clan?" Xun Yi felt a little resistant in his heart.
"Rest assured, this is not killing, the most essential characteristic of living beings lies in the true spirit. Whether it is the heavenly gods, demons, ghosts, or mortal emperors, the thinking consciousness of all living beings comes from the same source, that is, the source of innate true spirits. The light of the true spirit is put into reincarnation, giving birth to billions of living beings. You can be a human in this life, but you may be an animal in the next life. The so-called soul is nothing more than a birthplace that wraps the true spirit. You don't need it at all when you are reincarnated. After the death of the demon spirits, their true spirits are extracted, leaving only the spirit afterbirth cloak and sealed in the card, which is how this beast deck was born. Although he is spiritual, he does not have the consciousness to think independently. Also, these soldiers in your City God's Mansion are all made by mortal souls, where do you think these souls came from?"
"This is our mortal soul vestment?"
"That's right, putting the true spirit that symbolizes memory and inheritance in the depths of the soul into reincarnation, and making the remaining spiritual afterbirth clothes into heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, this is the consistent practice of Heavenly Court. As for reincarnation, the underworld will recreate a new afterbirth. The difference in afterbirth means the difference in race. Similar to these rabbits and foxes, they only have spirits, not souls, so they have low intelligence. ”
After Qinglong explained to Xun Yi, Xun Yi then handed a card to the long-eared canine rabbit.
Da Bai opened his mouth and bit it, swallowed the card, and slowly digested his spirit in his stomach, and his own spirituality was also slightly improved.
"This is the practice of our spiritual monks. Qinglong seemed to sigh a little: "If you don't study martial arts, Confucianism, Fang immortals, demons and ghosts, as long as you can improve your spiritual transformation and divinity, you can become a god." ”
Qinglong chattered and talked to Xun Yi, and Xun Yi discussed the next move with Wen Juan and others.
"Wen Ju, the Yunri Divine Bird will be handed over to you, and you and Wu Juan will go to kill the beast. There's also a friend over there who is choosing the moment from afar. It should be able to help then. ”
"Son, you?"
"I want to find a way to help the county town clean up the plague and connect with the people behind. Xun Yi said: "After all, the affairs of the world, you gods are inconvenient to mix. ”
Wen Juan nodded, took out a pill and handed it to Xun Yi: "The epidemic is rampant in the city, although the son has the divine power of the city god to protect the body, it is difficult to protect the erosion. This elixir was won by the little god from a fellow practitioner in the past, and it could help Gongzi counteract the epidemic qi. ”
After discussing, Xun Yi took Ma Jingyi and Dabai to leave the Land Temple and go to the county government.
Along the way, looking at the depressed weather in Tucheng, Xun Yi felt sorry in his heart.
"Why can't you see people along the way?" Ma Jingyi hugged the rabbit with a puzzled look on his face. Playing a drum in my heart, this is probably a good thing done by the Evil Spirit Temple. I didn't expect it to be so ruthless.
"Although I have been rolling in the rivers and lakes since I was a child, I don't have the heart to slaughter people all over the city in one go. Thinking of the elegant Wen Xiangjun behind his house, he couldn't see that he could do such a poisonous hand. "Aren't we just spreading faith, and why do we have to do this kind of ruthlessness?" a marginal person who only sells evil magic pens questions the gods he believes in.
"If this happens, it must be quarantined. There shouldn't be anyone going out now, and even if there is, I'm afraid it can only be ......" Xun Yi looked at him and saw a hand in the alley not far away.
Then his gaze jumped away, refusing to look that way.
Ma Jingyi took a few steps forward and found that it was a bruised corpse. shuddered, and followed Xun Yi's footsteps.
The boundary of Tucheng in Miao County is not large, and Xun Yi saw many corpses along the way.
As if I didn't see it, I stepped over, and suddenly I saw a crawling rickety old woman on my way. The old woman was prostrate on the ground, her lips chapped, and she reached out to grasp a broken tile not far away. There was a little yellowish muddy water in the tiles.
Xun Yi's pace quickened, stepped forward to hug the old woman, opened the kettle on his waist, and carefully helped her feed the water.
"Are you alright, old man?"
The old woman didn't seem to have drunk water for a long time, and just drank the water, choked twice, and then gradually eased up. Xun Yi hugged the old man, and could feel the wisp of vitality that was barely maintained in the old man's body.
That is the effect of Xun Yi to show the dead wood in spring.
The old woman seemed to have recovered some of her spirits, and looked at Xun Yi with cloudy eyes: "Outsider, what are you doing here at this time?"
"Save people. ”
The old woman's body trembled, and she sneered: "Even the people of this city have given up on us, can we still be saved......?" This is not the place for you people to set foot, so leave before you are infected. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to push Xun Yi, as if he wanted him to leave quickly.
Xun Yi shook his head, stubbornly refused to leave, but instead asked about the current situation in Miao County.
"The county order brought those who had not yet been infected to the East Side, and sent troops to block the entrance, leaving the other infected people behind. Waiting for us to fend for ourselves. ”
Xun Yi's face sank, but he understood the county order's intentions. Grain and clean water are difficult to supply according to Miao County's reserves. The rescue of Qinglong City is not timely, and the immunity situation has not expanded, and it is the most normal move to blockade. did not directly beat these infected people to death, it was already the county order that did not cold down to the end.
"Young Master!" came the sound of horses' hooves in the distance. Liu Ziming hurried over with the team.
Seeing Xun Yi holding a smelly old woman, Liu Ziming frowned, stepped forward and hurriedly pulled Xun Yi away: "Young master, be careful of infection." ”
"I'm not afraid, yes. Why are you here at this time?" Xun Yi looked for something to put on the old woman, wanting to take her away with him.
"As soon as I entered the city, I went to the government to see the county order. Liu Ziming said: "The living people in the city are all on the other side of the East City, and we unload the medicinal herbs and grain over there." Seeing that the young master was not there, I brought a few people over to have a look. What is the young master doing in Nancheng?"
"I'll take a look here, by the way, what about Liu Zhenying and their family?"
"This ......" Liu Ziming was silent and did not speak.
"Liu Zhenying?Xiao Liu's family?" The old woman's voice was weak and weak: "You are here to find his family?"
"The old man knows?" Xun Yi was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.
"Don't look for it, Xiao Liu and his wife died a few days ago. And it was ordered to be cremated, and the bones could not be found. The old woman recalled the situation a few days ago: "Later, when the girl came back, she saw that our sick fathers and villagers were left behind, and she once settled us infected people in Nancheng with some active people. But ......"
Just look at the old woman who has no one to take care of now, and she can guess that Qizi's situation is probably not good.
"And where is she now?"
"Go west, there is a medical hall after the corner, two days ago she and Dr. Zhang tried to boil medicine and make a fire, but now it is ......"
I haven't been here for two days, do you need to talk about the situation?
When Xun Yi heard this, he pulled Liu Ziming and rushed over.
When I found the medical hall, I saw a female corpse in the courtyard, and there were two overturned medicine jars next to it. The black-brown liquid seeped into the dirt, but it didn't look dry. In terms of time, it is no more than two hours.
Xun Yi's heart was cold, until he waited for someone to come late. But if you don't give up, what if it's not Liu Zhenying's sister?
stepped forward to push away the female corpse, and when he saw the female corpse's face, Xun Yi suddenly covered his mouth and ran to the corner to retch.
Liu Ziming hurriedly went over to push him back, Ma Jingyi walked into the hospital with Dabai in his arms, and saw two doctor-like people in the house, who were also lifeless.
"Young master, let's go to Dongcheng, shall we?"
"No, first check how many people are still alive in Nancheng, and it's best to save those who can save it. Xun Yi wiped his mouth and looked firm: "These people are still saved!"
