Chapter 576: The Three Souls Are Lost
I turned back and picked up the parchment scroll again. If you look closely, you will find that it is indeed the Bodhisattva Sutra of King Jizo.
"This?" I pointed to the scroll and asked the old man for the price. I don't understand their language, I can only make comparisons.
The old man took out a dried fruit shell and said something, although I couldn't understand his words, but the dried fruit shell was used to hold salt, and he meant to ask for salt. Naturally, I won't give him the salt of the King Kong Cannon, but there is a lot of silver, so I threw out an ingot, and the other party gnawed it with the few remaining old teeth, and then happily closed the stall.
"What are you buying Buddhist scriptures for?"
"It's nothing, do you remember when we were in the tomb of the Five Earths and the Sun, I used to recite the Jizo scriptures?" I casually flipped through the Jizo scriptures.
"That's your past life, not you. King Kong Cannon pouted.
"It was taught to me by the master, and at that time the Jizo King Bodhisattva had not yet become a Buddha, and I always wondered how the master could know the Jizo scriptures in advance. I said casually.
"What the hell are you trying to say?" asked King Kong Cannon with a frown.
"The realm of the Buddha is at the same level as the mixed Yuan Daluo Jinxian of the patriarch of the three sects, and the Bodhisattva and the Daluo Jinxian are at the same level, and this volume of scriptures must have been handed down by the King of Jizo, which can be seen from this, that is, the Bodhisattva can go back to the present at will, and so on, the Da Luo Jin Immortal can also go back to the present. "When I passed by a blacksmith shop, I threw the sutra in my hand into the charcoal fire and walked on my way.
"What are you burning it for?" asked King Kong Cannon suspiciously.
"This thing appeared at a time when it shouldn't have appeared, and the sutras shouldn't have been written on animal skins, so it can be judged that it was not written by the hands of King Jizo Bodhisattva, and it is not a merit for me to burn it. "I stopped in front of an arms stand.
Most of the barbarian weapons are knives, some knives are bent like horns, and some are similar to modern Oriental katanas, and the craftsmanship is also average, I grabbed a brute knife with a small arc and hung it around my waist, the weight and style of this knife are somewhat similar to the cadres I used before, the texture is very average, but it can only be used first.
In the evening, the two walked into the only inn in the town, the inn was opened by people from the Central Plains, the second floor was lodging, the first floor was a tavern, maybe we came at the wrong time, the tavern had no guests.
The role of silver ingots can not only be exchanged for a table of wine and food, but also make the proprietress in her fifties open the conversation. King Kong was in charge of cleaning up the food on the table, while my energy was all focused on talking to the hostess. The proprietress has been doing business from the barbarian border for more than 30 years, and she knows a lot about things in the wild area, according to her, there are dozens of tribes large and small in this boundless wilderness, which belong to the four major tribes, and the people in those four tribes rarely go out on weekdays, only occasionally come out in the town in exchange for some salt and sundries. In addition, the relationship between the four tribes does not seem to be very good, and sometimes it is possible to do something when they meet.
With the boss lady's narration, I gradually had a general outline in my mind, the four tribes of the current wild land each control a certain area of the primeval jungle, the four tribes are distributed in the four corners of the wilderness, the southeast and northwest, the tribesmen are all barbarians who know witchcraft, as for what kind of witchcraft they know, the boss lady can't say, just said that I have seen one of the tribes of the tribe use black bears to carry things when they go out to buy daily necessities. No one knows the names of the four tribes, and the people outside only divide them into four tribes: white, black, red, and yellow according to the color of their clothing, and those who drive the black bears out in exchange for daily necessities are wearing yellow clothes.
In addition, the wild town is inhabited by fugitives who have committed crimes, fleeing here to escape the pursuit of the official army, so the security here is not very good, and there are often murders and robberies.
The proprietress spat and said a lot, and I didn't hear many valuable clues, so I raised my hand to signal that she could leave.
"Two guest officers, it's only a watch day at this time, go to bed early, right?" the proprietress smiled ambiguously.
"Oh?" I frowned instantly, the old thing had something to say.
"When I go out, I don't have any family members, Bai Siniang in this town is stunning. "The proprietress actually pimps part-time.
"No, we want to rest early. I got out of my seat and stood up.
"It's all Siniang, don't you stop?" King Kong Cannon picked up the teapot and poured it violently.
"The guest officer doesn't know, this Bai Siniang is a strange woman, she has been in this town for decades, and her appearance is a little more handsome than the twenty-eight green plums. "The proprietress may have a relationship with the prostitute, highly recommended.
"Bring it to the uncle. "The King Kong cannon shook his hand and shook it again.
"The guest officer will go back to the room and wait a while, and I will send someone to carry her over. The proprietress hurriedly beckoned a few guys to carry the white Siniang.
"A ** has to be carried by someone, it's a big shelf. King Kong Cannon snorted coldly.
"What do you want to do?" I said, turning and striding upstairs.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything, I just want to see how an old thing that is dozens of years old can look the same as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. King Kong Cannon laughed. He was curious, not lustful.
"I don't care what you really want to do, but you must not touch prostitutes, you should know that touching them will damage your cultivation and Fulu. I reassured.
"Don't worry, I've got it. King Kong Cannon nodded and waved his hand.
King Kong Cannon is snoring, I asked for another room for quiet, went back to the room and drank a few sips of tea and wanted to go to bed, who knew that just lying down, King Kong Cannon began to knock on the door in a hurry.
"What for?" I stood up and opened the door.
"You came over to see this woman, something is wrong. "King Kong Cannon couldn't break up, so he pulled me into the next room.
At this time, there was a young woman lying in the room, the proprietress said that she was going to carry it, I thought it was carried in a sedan chair, and it was carried on a stretcher for a long time, and the young woman was lying on the stretcher like a dead corpse.
"What kind of play is this?" I asked, confused.
"This woman's three souls are gone, but the seven spirits are still there. "King Kong Cannon pulled me closer to the woman.
I frowned slightly and found that the observation of the King Kong Cannon was correct, the woman's three souls had disappeared, and now there were only seven souls left, at this time she was lying upright on the stretcher, although there was no movement, but there was still breathing and body temperature, the skin was white, the hair was big, and the appearance was also extremely beautiful, but the clothes on the body were very simple, only a long shirt, which was hollow.
"Old Yu, this person's three souls have left the body, why haven't they died yet?" King Kong Cannon frowned and looked at the beauty on the stretcher, the woman's main life showed that she was only seventeen years old now, and she was not a person of dozens of years old at all.
"There's something weird. I said with a frown. Under normal circumstances, as long as one of the three souls and seven souls of a person is out of the body, the body will become a vegetative person, and the three souls of this woman are not in the body, how can she not die.
"Yes, she's not a cultivator either, and she doesn't have any aura at all. King Kong Cannon scratched his head in confusion.
"Call that old thing up and ask for clarification. "I winked at the cannon. The latter called the proprietress up at the top of his voice.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Guest officer, although Siniang won't greet her, she won't push it back, wouldn't it be hearty to have fun?"
"How old is this woman?" I stared intently at the breath on the boss's head, as long as her breath fluctuated, it could prove that she had lied.
"I don't know exactly how old she is, but she was like that when I first arrived thirty years ago. The proprietress opened her mouth to reply, her expression was as usual, her breath was the same, and she should not be lying.
"Alright, go out and don't disturb us. I waved at the hostess.
"Tomorrow I will send someone to carry her away. The proprietress closed the door for us with a look of disgust.
"Take her off and I'll see what the problem is?" I commanded the Vajra Cannon. The strange situation of this woman made me suspicious.
When King Kong Cannon heard this, he took off the clothes on the woman's body, and the scene in front of him made me and King Kong Cannon frown secretly.
The young woman's body is covered with scars, which are mainly tooth marks, mostly concentrated on the woman's chest, and there are also a large number of scratches and tooth marks on the lower body, indicating that the woman has indeed suffered for a long time. The woman did not have a magic weapon such as a soul fixing needle on the back of her head, and the scars on Zhou's body did not look like they were caused by a fight.
After carefully inspecting it with King Kong Cannon for a long time, he finally found that this woman's Tiangang Qi Cave had been sealed, which means that this woman used to be a cultivator, and later her aura cultivation was abolished.
Even if this point is checked, it still can't explain the discrepancy between this woman's main life qi and her real age, our qi observation technique can see the person's age and longevity according to the main life qi of the human body, this has never been wrong, but how can this woman be an exception?
In addition, there is another doubt, that is, after the soul leaves the body, why can she maintain her heartbeat and body temperature, under normal circumstances, only cultivators at the peak of purple qi can maintain vitality with part of the aura left in the body after the original spirit leaves the body, this woman has no aura cultivation at all, it should be a direct death, what did she rely on to survive?
The third suspicion is, where did her three souls go, our soul search recipe to search for the yang soul was pulled out with the soul and soul, not a separate soul search or soul search, who is this person who took away her three souls?
"Old Yu, don't forget it, this has nothing to do with us?"
"If we want to go to the wilderness, it's up to us, you see her ears. I pointed to the woman's ear.
"Isn't it just a few ears and eyes? "King Kong Cannon didn't understand what I was trying to say.
"Women on the outside don't drill so many ears and eyes into their ears, and the outside eyes and ears are not so big. I said with a frown. The woman had three ears and eyes in each ear, the largest of which was in the lip area and could fit through a pencil.
"What do you mean?" said Vajra Cannon vaguely thought of something.
"If I'm right, this woman should have lived in the wilderness......"
