Chapter 69: Nourish the Soul with the Spirit
Seeing Zi Ning let Li Yan go, Mao Hu, who caught up later, was also annoyed, and shouted loudly: "I said Zi Ning girl, what's the matter with you, could it be that the monster has something to do with you!?"
Hearing this, Tu Chen was shocked in his heart, thinking of the identity of the Zining Demon Clan, he didn't know whether he should choose to trust or not.
Zi stood quietly on the eaves of a roof, her skirt swaying on tiptoe, like a fairy flying down from the sky, and she didn't associate it with the demon clan at all.
didn't get a response, and Tuchen didn't have time to ask in detail, so he hurriedly took a breath and prepared to speed up the chase. Who knew that she had just run a few steps before she was stopped by Zi Ning raising her hand, she looked at Li Yan's almost disappeared figure in the distance and turned her head slightly: "He is not a demon, just a puppet and a chess piece manipulated by the demon clan." ”
"Chess pieces?" Mao Hu also stopped, stroked his beard and pondered for a moment: "What do you mean...... Is there another person behind Li Yan? So we have to put a long line to catch a big fish?"
Zi Ning took out a purple gauze scarf from her body and tied it on her face to cover her face again, and then whispered: "Nourish the soul with the spirit, immortal and immortal!"
These eight words seemed to instantly point out Mao Hu's thoughts, and his frowning brows immediately relaxed, and he rushed to the front to continue to ask: "Nourish the soul with the spirit!?
Although Mao Hu was very surprised, Zi Ning didn't think so, and responded lightly: "Li Yan's eyebrows are pale and his face is pale, and the three souls and seven spirits are obviously gone, and now all he supports is a wisp of aura. ”
After hearing the four words 'nourishing the soul with the spirit', Tuchen also felt very familiar, as if he had read a certain medical technique in the Linggu Baicao Mansion. It is a spell that is widely spread among the demons, which can extract the three souls and seven spirits of a person and inject the demonic spirit qi into the flesh for his own use.
If a person does not have three souls and seven spirits, he is already a dead person in theory, but because of the existence of demonic spirits, they are no different from living people, and they will not feel pain if they are immortal. Such people are called spiritual people, and because it is uncertain whether the spiritual people can be saved, 'nourishing the soul with the spirit' is also recorded in the medical books as one of the incurable diseases.
After listening to the information that Tuchen learned from the medical book, Mao Hu smiled and waved his hand: "This still needs to be asked, there is no body left without three souls and seven spirits, even if the gods come, there is no cure." Spirit people are not absolutely immortal, their lives are connected to their hosts. If the host demon spirit is dispersed, it is naturally impossible for the spirit man to continue to live forever. From this point of view, it is not surprising that Li Yan has just been invulnerable. ”
While the three of them were talking, Li Yan had long since disappeared and disappeared into the vast night.
After waiting for another moment, Zi Ning nodded slightly, looked at the direction Li Yan left and blew lightly. A purple aura erupted from her mouth, quickly condensing together to form a small purple bird. The bird circled in mid-air for a few times before flying off into the distance.
Tuchen asked Mo Erha to sit down and rest on his own, and then followed the bird with Mao Hu and Zi Ning to find it.
The bird flies fast, but always stays within the sight of the trio. Flying from the east to the west of the city, they finally stopped in front of a spacious mansion. It chirped softly, then turned into a purple mist and dissipated into the air.
Zi Ning stopped in front of the mansion, and nodded slightly after listening to the bird's call: "The spirit people will not be too far away from the host, they should be in this mansion!"
Mao Hu nodded, looked at the wine gourd that was already empty on his waist and sighed: "Let's go our separate ways, even if we dig three feet into the ground, we have to pull out that guy!" After speaking, without waiting for the two to respond, he took the lead in dodging and jumping into the house.
Tuchen and Zi Ning glanced at each other and whispered, "You still have injuries on your body, be careful." ”
Zi Ning nodded slightly, and also turned into a wisp of purple mist and floated into the mansion......
Tuchen took a deep breath, and first came to the main entrance of the mansion to take a look, only to see a long plaque hanging on the two large mahogany doors: Li Mansion!
Recalling Grandma Li's sentence 'The government is the god of our people', he couldn't help but feel sad for the people of Yangcheng in his heart: "I can't imagine that Li Yan usually looks innocent and works for the benefit of the people, but behind his back, he actually has a tradition with the demon clan to bring disaster to the people of the city, and it is really a disaster for the people of Yangcheng to meet such a parent official!"
After a few sighs, Tuchen also walked under the high wall next to the gate, and Dantian Luck jumped in lightly on tiptoe.
The mansion looks majestic on the outside, and even more splendid on the inside. As soon as Tuchen climbed over the high wall, a large pond came into view. The pond is covered with lotus leaves, and in the middle stands a long bridge with a milky white body, and at the end of the stone bridge there are pavilion houses.
Under normal circumstances, such a large mansion must have more than 100 subordinates to take care of it, and it is essential to stand guard at night. But at this time, this palace was empty, and the surroundings were so silent that even the sound of the landing needle could be heard clearly. As far as the eye can see, all the main halls of the houses are shrouded in blue and black, and they look extremely ghostly!
Tuchen and concentrating on the whole body to search for a moment, he could feel a faint trace of demonic energy, but he couldn't locate it in detail, so he had to carefully walk up the long bridge and move to the depths of the mansion.
The long milky white bridge seemed to have been built of some kind of fluorescent material, and it faintly emitted a green glow in the dark night, making Tuchen feel extremely uncomfortable while walking.
Behind the long bridge, the first thing that catches your eye is a magnificent hall with a width of hundreds of meters, the palace gate is wide in all directions, and the red carpet is faintly visible, but there is no half a figure, which looks very strange and makes people shudder.
After watching cautiously for a long time, Tuchen continued to go deeper, first carefully looking at the periphery of the hall, and after finding that there was nothing abnormal, he turned to the main entrance and prepared to take a look inside.
However, just as he raised one foot and was about to step into the temple, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing behind him, and then a hand was placed on his shoulder without warning!
This sudden situation really frightened Tuchen, and he immediately dodged like an electric shock, and at the same time used enough strength to punch and strike.
'Smack!'
His fist was blocked and pressed aside, and then a familiar voice came into his ears: "Why don't you even know your own person, it's me, Maohu!"
Tuchen also relieved when he heard the sound, looked up and looked up, and sure enough, he found that Mao Hu, who had entered the mansion first, didn't know when he had appeared behind him, and was looking around vigilantly at this time.
The two of them left the entrance of the main hall, found a hidden place and stopped, and Tuchen scolded softly: "You didn't come in early, why did you run behind me?"
Mao Hu waved his hand, his face was very serious: "I haven't gone deep at all, I've been waiting for you." Now Zi Ning is not here, Tu Chen, you tell me honestly, what is the origin of that girl?"
"What...... What is the way to come from? Are you asking Zining?" Tuchen was stunned: "There is no way to come, she is an ordinary girl I saved in the Great Wilderness Mountain?"
"Ordinary girl, do you think Grandpa Mao has been in vain in the past ten years in the rivers and lakes?" Mao Hu's eyes were sharp, and he came close and stared at Tu Chen: "Can an ordinary girl know 'nourishing the soul with the spirit'? Can an ordinary girl have such skills? Just because of the condensation she just had, she couldn't practice the Tao for decades! Don't you really know her details!?"
