Chapter 123: Taking the Soul
"Hahaha-" A wanton long laughter echoed in the hall, and suddenly the wind rolled, flying sand and stones, the bright night pearls on the top of the hall suddenly darkened, and four bronze mirrors fell from the sky, standing in the hall in four directions, southeast, northwest, and north.
Each bronze mirror is more than a man tall, and the four sides of the rectangular are engraved with strange patterned spells, facing each other on all sides, inserted vertically into the ground.
A figure dressed in black fluttered down, with gray hair and a golden silk mask, and the loud laughter just now was made by this person, with an eerie aura, which shocked several people in the hall.
"Who are you?" Qi Song jumped forward, blocking Zi Ning behind him, his eyes blazing at the masked man. Seeing that he was dressed in black, he was embroidered with the dark lines of the dragon, and the gold silk mask he was wearing was very familiar. couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately turned his head to look at the jade carved figure on the throne of the high platform.
Beads of sweat rolled down the size of the bean, and Qi Song said in surprise: "Are you ...... Celestial ......"
The masked man was very unruly, raised his head again and laughed wildly, and said in a hoarse voice: "A few juniors, I actually let you guess the identity of the old man, and I really underestimated you." That's right, the old man was the only remaining pure and true king of the Heavenly Clan, who had hidden the Immortal Clan for many years as Ji Shi, and now that the big thing has been accomplished, there is no need to hide his head and show his tail. Reveal your true body, so that you can see the ability of the pure and true king. ”
After saying that, he suddenly raised his sleeves and waved up, stepped on Tiangang Yu's steps, pulled out a knot seal with both palms, and projected it onto Qi Song's body. When the bright light flashed, Qi Song suddenly transformed into a five-element unicorn, rolled on all fours, and knelt in front of Ji Shi very meekly.
At this time, the white ball playing on the high beam suddenly swooped down, and Xiaobai's body stumbled, and landed in front of Ji Shi's feet, covering his head with his paws, and chirping and screaming: "My head hurts, my head hurts-"
Ji Shi had a seal on his hand and a mantra in his mouth, which was exactly the method used by the Heavenly Clan to domesticate spirit beasts and immortal pets back then. The spirit beasts in the world are all from the Heavenly Clan, and they have made an eternal blood alliance with the cultivators of the Heavenly Clan. Therefore, once Ji Shi cast the sealing spell, the blood alliance spell in the spirit beast's body was opened, and Qi Song and Bai Qiu had to obey his orders.
Zi Ning was stunned, and suddenly thought of a serious question, the giant bat clan is also a branch of the Celestial Clan, could it be that the Heavenly Demon War back then was planned by Ji Shi behind the scenes?
She immediately stepped forward, hugged the trembling white ball in her arms, and said sharply to Ji Shi: "Don't use spells anymore, the white ball is just a little fairy pet, you are a senior in the immortal realm, and even the spirit beast is bullied, isn't it shameful?"
"Hahaha-" Ji Shi stopped chanting the seal and said with a smug smile: "The old man wants you to see who is the really powerful person now, and who is qualified to be the master of the immortal realm." ”
Zi Ning saw that he was dressed in black and was awe-inspiring and gloomy, revealing a stream of evil aura, and suddenly remembered the giant bats he met in the library of the Hair Dove Kingdom, with black shadow fangs, all of which were similar to the breath on his body, with the smell of decay and death.
She had seen the bat banshee in the mirror array, and although she had a sense of mystery, the sad and desperate expression on the demon's face always left a deep impression on her. Everyone thinks that the bat girl who cultivates in human form is the heavenly demon, and in the heavenly demon war back then, it was the demon who cultivated the Moon Immortal Method, in order to avenge the Moon Immortal and fulfill the wish of the Moon Immortal to rule the immortal realm.
But is the Heavenly Demon really a woman with a sad gaze, if she is a Heavenly Demon, why is she trapped in the mirror array and can't get out, who is the person who controls the demon behind her?
Thinking of this, the answer is about to come out. Zi Ning felt a piercing chill penetrate into her heart, and couldn't help but ask, "Ji Shi, ...... you You're the real Celestial Demon, aren't you? The Demon Demon is just a puppet you use, and everyone thinks that the Celestial Demon is a humanoid Batgirl, but in fact she has become your shield. ”
Ji Shi looked at her with gloomy eyes, and snorted coldly: "Xuannu is very smart, and she is better than other women of the Immortal Dao clan, no wonder Yue Hengtang swore not to marry a concubine, and only fell in love with you." After a pause, he continued: "That's right, the old man is the Heavenly Demon, when he fought with the Immortal Clan, on the surface, the bat formation attacked the twelve gates of the Immortal Clan, but in fact, the old man led the formation behind the scenes. could have won a big victory, but because of Yun Heshen, a traitor who ate inside and out, the old man lost his troops and returned with nothing. ”
Without waiting for Zi Ning to speak, Ye Liannu preemptively said: "Yun He Shen is Zi Ning's father, Shushan Jianzun, a descendant of the four major clans surnamed Yun, how can he have anything to do with the Heavenly Demon? ”
Zi Ning also snorted coldly, "Ji Shi, you yourself are obviously a heavenly demon, but you dare not admit that you have been a turtle with a shrunken head for so many years, hiding under Kunlun Peak to hide your identity." Such villain deeds have been spurned and despised by others, and they are not ashamed to slander my father. ”
Yunhe Shen is Zining's biological father, although the father and daughter have never met, but the people in the immortal realm all admire Shushan Jianzun when they mention it. Therefore, she has always been proud of her father, and she does not allow Ji Shi to arbitrarily slander his reputation.
"Ignorant child!" Ji Shi flicked his long sleeves and said coldly: "You only know that Yun Heshen is a descendant of the Yun clan in Shushan, but you don't know that he was originally a descendant of the Heavenly Clan, and his soul has been nurtured by me for many years, and he has been awarded the sword soul of the Heavenly Clan. ”
Zi Ning and Ye Lian Nu glanced at each other, and they were all stunned, no matter how they could not have imagined that Yun Heshen was actually a descendant of the Heavenly Clan.
Ye Liannu suddenly asked, "What about Empress Yaohua, she is also a celestial clan?"
Ji Shi nodded slightly, his eyes were a little distracted, and he said in a quiet voice: "That's right, Hua Yao was also a descendant of the Heavenly Clan, inheriting the posture of the Heavenly Clan from generation to generation, and her blood is pure, so I took her soul away to recuperate, I hope she can help me complete the great cause of the unification of the Immortal Dao Realm." ”
After hearing Ji Shi say this, Zi Ning was stunned for a moment, if Yun Heshen and Hua Yao were both descendants of the Heavenly Clan, then wouldn't their daughter also have the blood of the Heavenly Clan?
Ye Liannu had more doubts, and asked blankly, "Since the cultivators of the Heavenly Clan are all extremely qualified, intelligent, and have extraordinary bloodlines and inheritances, why did they eventually perish, what is the difference between the Heavenly Clan and the Immortal Clan?"
She always felt that this matter was a little bizarre, and Ji Shi must have hidden some unknown things.
Sure enough, Ji Shi's eyelids twitched, he was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "The Immortal Clan, the Dao Clan, and the Wu Clan were originally all subordinates of the Heavenly Clan, but they joined forces to plot a rebellion, and finally used tricks to make the Celestial Clan lose their skills, and they died countless times, and in the end, only the old man was left. ”
Zi Ning was flustered in her heart, and seemed to be vaguely aware of Ji Shi's true purpose, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Then you...... Tell us all these things, what do you want to do?"
Ji Shi's dim eyes suddenly emitted a bright light, and he raised his head and laughed: "The doppelganger spell that I have practiced for many years will be shown to you today." The magic weapons, wealth, power, and beauties in the world were originally owned by the Heavenly Clan, and I want to set foot on the Immortal Clan and take these back!"
After that, the sleeve suddenly spewed out the true yuan qi, and a thick black mist emerged from the four copper mirrors, and gradually the mirror surface became clear, showing a soft and bright light, which could illuminate the figure.
Zi Ning was standing in the direction of his back to the west, facing a bronze mirror, he couldn't help but look in the mirror, but he didn't see his own figure, but a man in green clothes appeared, sitting cross-legged with his head down, with a green chain tied to his body, his body trembled slightly, as if he was enduring extreme pain.
Zi Ning was taken aback, she didn't expect that a person would be trapped in the bronze mirror. She immediately thought that this bronze mirror was not an ordinary mirror, but a trap set up by Ji Shi, and several of them had seen such a bronze mirror in the secret passage at the bottom of Kunlun Peak.
The man in green clothes raised his head slowly, his face was extremely pale and haggard, Zi Ning saw his face clearly at a glance, and shouted: "Brother Xiaomu!"
Her brain suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned to look, only to see a white-clothed figure in the mirror behind her, Yue Hengtang's eyes were staring at her, and the expression on her face was extremely sad and painful.
Qi Song and Ye Liannu also exclaimed in unison, they found that Yu Zun Jiansu was trapped in the south-facing bronze mirror, dressed in red, with messy hair, two blood stains oozing from the corners of his mouth, and an enlarged blue bracelet ring tightly fastened on his body, which was Zi Ning's blue Xuanyu bracelet.
"Brother Tang!" Zi Ning shouted, and flew in front of the bronze mirror, wanting to rescue Yue Hengtang. only listened to the sound of "bang", stumbled the mirror, and let her hands hit the cold copper mirror hard, but she was never able to penetrate the mirror.
She and the moon in the mirror, looking at each other, but they couldn't touch each other, close at hand, but as if they were far away from the end of the world.
Goddess Ye Lian turned cold and asked, "Ji Shi, why are you trapping them, what do you want?" Ji Shi has been quite famous for tens of thousands of years, and has been regarded as the number one talent in the immortal realm. Not only proficient in the formation of secret spells, but also good at music, calligraphy and painting, cultivating fairy grass and spirit flowers, and there is nothing he is not good at in various crafts.
It is rumored that he is chivalrous and courageous, and sticks a knife in the ribs for love and righteousness, so the various sects of the immortal clan have great respect for Ji Shi, and the elders of Kunlun regard him as a confidant, and even the soul of the moon and the soul of the moon is relieved to be nourished by him, and is reborn as Yuehengtang after 100,000 years.
After the Heavenly Demon War, there was no news of Ji Shi. Everyone thought that he was old and that the end was approaching, so he hid in the mountains and forests to retreat and wait for the immortal to pass away. Unexpectedly, he had been in seclusion for many years, and suddenly appeared here, and trapped the three of Yuehengtang, Tanglin and Jiansu.
Ji Shi's gaze looked at Ye Liannu through the golden silk mask, his eyes were cloudy and gloomy, and he seemed to hide many secrets. Ban Yan slowly walked in front of her, and suddenly sighed, "Lian'er, you don't remember anymore, when the Qingxu True King was besieged by the Immortal Clan and the Wu Clan, you blocked the fatal blow for me. Now only Ji Shi is alive in the world, and the Pure Void True King has long been wiped out with the Heavenly Clan......"
Seeing his long white beard fluttering, looking like a rickety old man, Ye Liannu couldn't help but shake her head and said, "What is the Pure Void True King, I don't recognize you." Even if Ji Shi is a genius in the immortal realm, it has nothing to do with my little leaf. I'm not your old friend, so don't call me Lian'er. ”
Ji Shi looked at her for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and laughed: "The old man knows that a beauty loves a young man alone, and no woman will fall in love with an old man." Lian'er, don't worry, when I take the souls of these three people, no matter which one of them you like, I will be your wishful husband. ”
Ye Liannu had goosebumps all over her body, and exclaimed: "What are you talking about, you want to take away their souls, this ...... How is this possible?"
She was born in the immortal clan since she was a child, and she has seen many powerful exercises that reach the sky, and she has also heard that there are evil skills that take away the soul since ancient times, but there has never been a practice where one person takes the soul of three people, I don't know how Ji Shi took it away and what the purpose of this is.
Zi Ning was kneeling in front of the bronze mirror, tears streaming down her face, looking at Yue Hengtang anxiously, when she suddenly heard Ji Shi say that she would take people's souls, she turned around in shock, and shouted in a desperate voice: "You don't want to harm Brother Tang, as well as Tanglin and Jiansu, why do you want to take away them?"
Ji Shi has too many secrets that they don't know, and now that the three of them are trapped in the mirror array, Ji Shi, who has always had a good reputation, wants to take them away, and all the mysteries are related to the destruction of the Heavenly Clan. All the clues are entwined and extremely confusing.
