"Roche's Exorcism! Isn't that just-" Su Rongrong exclaimed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"It is the strange book mentioned at the beginning of the "Taming of Insects", which records puppet insects and soul refining parasitic techniques. Old Man Chen bowed his head, "You all know what happened after that." β
After that, it was the old man Chen who domesticated the puppet insects until he disappeared in the mountains.
Su Rongrong noticed a term that he had heard for the first time: "Is it a method of resurrecting the dead?"
Old Man Chen shook his head and slowly explained: "The Luo Clan's Exorcism of Puppets mainly records the cases of the Luo clan people using their spirits to drive couples. According to the book, the Luo family has lived in the periphery of the Panyun primeval forest in the southwest of Xiazhou for generations, collecting medicine and hunting animals for a living. The forest is full of strange grasses and poisonous insects, and the demon cultivators are entrenched, and there are few human traces, but there are also many rare treasures of heaven and earth. The Luo clan has lived in it for a long time, and gradually mastered secret techniques that are unheard of elsewhere.
"Alchemy is one of them. The book mentions that by refining the spirit with a secret method and incorporating it into a puppet puppet, it can make it move as smoothly as a living person. This only consumes spiritual spirits, does not need to be driven by spiritual mines, and the local area is not wealthy, so the Luo puppets are very popular. According to records, there were once clansmen who used high-level demon beast spirits to refine puppets, and the puppets actually developed feelings similar to those of living people, and they were loyal to the lord.
In the last part of the book, it is mentioned that the soul refining technique is to refine a kind of puppet that can hold the soul of a person with special spirits and materials, and if successful, the human soul can attach to the puppet, drive the spirit, and move freely. That's why I did all this for Juan'er. β
When Old Man Chen said this, there was silence in the cave.
In Xiazhou, the concept of soul coincides with ancient Chinese civilization, which believes that life is composed of three souls and seven spirits.
The three souls are the souls with individual consciousness, and the seven souls are the spirits that control the body, and the soul is one to be regarded as a real living thing. If there is only a soul, it is a ghost, and if there is only a spirit, it is a living corpse.
Roche's method allows the soul that has lost its physical body to have a free body again, so as to stay in the world, which is to some extent, a kind of resurrection.
Lu Bo has been accustomed to seeing the loss of life since he was a child, and knows that human beings are powerless in the face of death, but he didn't expect that there is such a domineering way to survive in the world, and he is inevitably surprised in his heart.
At the same time, Su Rongrong was also silent.
But what she thinks about is not so emotional, what this guy thinks: puppets with feelings must be able to sell for a lot of money!
If the puppet can still smile, cry, and coquettish, then the sales will skyrocket!
Old Man Chen also said that this Luo clan has lived in a remote and less crowded place for a long time, and the Luo clan refining method is a rare secret technique, if she learns Su Rongrong, she will have no worries about food and clothing in this life.
Lu Bo saw that the people around her suddenly grinned dumbly, and knew that she was deep in thought again, so she had to ask herself: "The spirit that can drive the soul of a human soul is the spirit of a puppet insect?"
Old Man Chen glanced down at the insect king on the cave wall, and saw that it stood still, occasionally flapping its thin wings, looking very leisurely, and couldn't help but smile before saying: "There are very few spirits that can hold human souls, and Luo only mentioned a few, and there happens to be one of them, which is the spirit of a high-level puppet insect." If you have read "Taming Insects", you should know that this secret method is extremely difficult to succeed, not only needs to mutate puppet insects, but also constantly improve purity, pay attention to timing and luck...... I've failed countless times, and I've given almost everything, including my body, to finally succeedβ"
"What!?" Su Rongrong woke up from her daze, "You succeeded?"
Lu Bo was also surprised: "Paid for your body? Could it be that the cause of your death-"
Seeing the surprise on the faces of the two, Old Man Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You are smart children, that's why you can chase here, I won't hide it from you." On that day, after writing the "Notes on Taming Insects", I entered the wormhole, and it happened that there were new mutant puppet worms in the cave, and the number was enough to further refine, I was so excited that I immediately tried it in the cave. It's a pity that after all, my luck was insufficient, the refining failed, and my body was counterattacked, and I became neither a human nor a ghost, and I could no longer return to Yi City.
"However, I was unwilling, trapped in the wormhole, and only hoped that I could wait for another opportunity to refine. The insect king, this kid knows my mind and helps me wholeheartedly, but unfortunately I am physically disabled and my qi is about to run out, in order to speed up the mutation speed, I feed the worms with my body, and sure enough, within five years, a batch of mutant puppet worms was born.
"This time I succeeded, but my soul was overconsumed, and my soul eventually flew away. I don't regret the experiment I did, but as my soul left my body, I heard Juan'er's voice......"
"...... your lady?" Su Rongrong was surprised, didn't she die early?
"Yes, my lady, Juan'er. How ridiculous it is that I have been imprisoning her soul by my side, but it was not until I died that I heard her call and realized how wrong I was in what I had done. Old Man Chen suddenly laughed miserably, he covered his eyes with trembling hands, and was silent for a long time before continuing to speak, his voice was unstoppably old and hoarse.
"Because I am also a soul, I saw Juan'er's smiling face, and she told me that on the day of the cremation of her body, I was too resentful, and I inadvertently imprisoned a wisp of her spirit in the unburned broken bones, causing Juan'er's seven souls to be incomplete and the remnants of her soul to suffer...... On that day, although Juan'er smiled and told me that it didn't hurt, she couldn't enter the underworld safely, and if she was reincarnated, the next life would be a mutilated body......
The insect king, who had been quiet, seemed to feel the sadness of Old Man Chen, and fluttered his wings uneasily, but he couldn't do anything.
When Su Rongrong heard this, she suddenly thought of something, lowered her head a little weakly, and her eyes wandered. Lu Bo glanced at her.
Old Man Chen didn't feel sad for too long, quickly reined in his mood, and continued: "I can't watch Juan'er suffer, I want to burn all the broken bones left behind to liberate her spirit." Before I died, I was already in the Jindan stage, and I could separate a wisp of divine consciousness to survive independently, so I pinned the last divine consciousness on the insect king and entrusted it to fulfill my last wish. However, sixty-seven years ago, when this child entered Yicheng with his companions, he accidentally revealed his identity, caused a dispute, caused a plague of insects, and was ostracized by the people of Yicheng. β
The insect king moved, and seemed a little aggrieved.
Old Man Chen smiled and comforted it, and continued: "That conflict was too tragic, and the monks went into the mountain to take revenge, and they would rather kill by mistake than let go, and the lives of people everywhere they went. The disturbed monsters fought back, but they were mistaken for the puppet insects, so they were culled more violently, and many innocent monsters were killed in groups. That's why it's easy for you to enter the mountain this time. β
Su Rongrong recalled the situation of entering the mountain this time, and the five elders of Yicheng did mention that the battle between man and beast in the previous insect plague was extremely tragic, and this time, only six Jindan periods went to the depths of the mountains and forests, no wonder they always suspected that there were traps.
But is it easy? Is it really easy?
Su Rongrong looked at the scars on his body that had not yet healed, and was speechless......
"Since the beasts have suffered heavy damage, why did they launch this insect plague?" Lu Bo heard the contradiction.
Old Man Chen smiled bitterly and lamented: "We have never launched a worm plague. After the last encounter, the Worm King sent a member of his clan into the city every few years to visit the Chen Mansion for me, but this year, the messenger sent was noticed halfway through, causing a riot, just like sixty-seven years ago. β
Indeed, the cause of the two "insect plagues" was not a physical attack, but a cause of fear.
Old Man Chen looked at the Insect King, with a hint of gentleness and guilt on his face, and this expression made him even older: "This kid was stopped outside the city protection array last time, and when he came back, he began to attack the advancement, hoping to have stronger strength to break through into the city." However, we didn't expect it, because my spirit was attached to it, and my obsession was refracted into its demons, causing it to be stuck for decades until you arrived. β
Lu Bo guessed what he meant, and summed it up in one sentence: "In other words, you want us to take the Worm King, enter the Chen Mansion, and burn the ashes of Madame Zun?"
Old Man Chen looked at the two of them solemnly, and said solemnly: "Yes, I hope you can help me burn Juan'er's urn and release her spirit." β
Lu Bo nodded, this matter was not difficult, so he looked at Su Rongrong and listened to her opinion.
Su Rongrong's expression was a little subtle at this time, his eyes were sly, he seemed to want to laugh, and he was a little weak-hearted, he held his hands in front of his chest, and said: "Well, senior, we have come here to help you realize your wishes, but the reward, I have one, not two, a small request......"
Old Man Chen understood and said generously: "I have already said that you can take all the spiritual objects in this cave, and you can take my books and the contents of the storage bag if you like." However, my consciousness will only last for three hours, and I will give priority to your request, but you must swear that you will begin to fulfill my last wish as soon as you get out of the cave. β
This old man Chen is actually a good person, obviously he has not survived for a long time, and his heart is dignified, but he is willing to give priority to fulfilling the other party's wishes and not breaking his promise.
Su Rongrong got the promise, her eyes lit up, and she immediately raised her hand with a smile and interrupted him: "Don't swear, senior, I have already brought Mrs. Zun's urn." β
ββWhat?
At this moment, not only Old Man Chen was completely stunned, but even Lu Bo looked at her in disbelief.

Γ D's broken thoughts:
1. The official rule for the use of quotation marks in continuous dialogue is that "if there are several paragraphs of quoted text, only one preference mark should be used at the beginning of each paragraph, and only one posting quotation mark should be used at the end of the last paragraph". However, there are also many online authors who use it in pairs continuously, I don't know which one you are used to reading?
2. "Chobits" is a Japanese comic, with the Chinese translation of the name "Humanoid Computer Angel Heart" (stupid), describing the future world of robots has been popularized, from appearance to words and deeds are close to real people, but also has a strong computer computing storage function, not only practical but also cute.
Anyway, I'm reading novels and anime, and some stalks don't know if readers understand it, anyway, I remember to popularize science, and if you don't understand it, you can leave me a message~
Merry Christmas to all!
