Chu Qi Niangzi said: "Your Majesty, the soul is hidden in the body, which is the convergence of spiritual consciousness, the core existence of the human body, and the human body is just a skin. The soul is separated from the body as if it were stripped of a layer of clothing. ”

Emperor Zhizheng pondered for a moment before asking, "How far has Daoist friends cultivated, can the soul exist alone from the body?"

Chu Qi Niangzi's expression darkened, "The minister is dull, and the soul can't leave the body for the time being." ”

Emperor Zhizheng then asked, "Then, in the opinion of Daoist friends, how long does it take to cultivate to that point, and can a person do it in his lifetime?"

Chu Qi Niangzi saw sweat on her forehead, "I'm just afraid...... No. ”

Emperor Zhizheng sighed, his expression was not disappointed, "In that case, is there any way for Daoist friends to speed up their cultivation?"

Chu Qi Niangzi shook her head again and lowered her head.

Emperor Zhizheng turned to the others and raised his voice, "Among the Daoists present, which one else is a Void Refiner? ”

As soon as these words came out, more than a dozen people in the venue suddenly walked out, walked to the middle of the venue, bowed and saluted, "I've seen Your Majesty." ”

"You don't have to be formal. Emperor Zhizheng said: "The ranks are all cultivators, who has a way to speed up the cultivation speed and reach the point where the soul is separated from the body and exists alone in a shorter period of time?"

The dozen or so people looked around, and after a long time, no one answered.

Emperor Zhizheng's gaze swept over everyone one by one, and then said: "Whoever has a way to speed up the cultivation process, so that people's lifetime can reach the point where the soul can exist alone from the body, I will definitely reward him heavily." Therefore. I also hope that you will not cherish yourself, if you have any ideas, just say them, and everyone will refer to them together. ”

After a long time, there was still no answer, and the dozen or so people fell to the ground and remained silent for a long time.

Emperor Zhizheng let out a long sigh and said disappointedly: "Go down." ”

The dozen or so people confessed, and then they retreated. Emperor Zhizheng raised his voice and said: "Chu Qi Niangzi has meritorious dedication to the Fa, and she is a wonderful virtual person." Seven thousand taels of silver. Give a mansion, thousands of hectares of fertile land, and a gold medal, which can be walked in the inner imperial city. ”

This reward is compared with Kuang Shi and Chen Xuan. A python robe is missing. a few thousand taels of silver. In the heart of Emperor Zhizheng, it is impossible to say who is light and who is heavy.

Chu Qi Niangzi bowed deeply to the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty Xie." ”

Look at the situation just now. She thought that although she put forward a concept of immortality, but if she couldn't do anything, even if she had a reward, it wouldn't be high, but she didn't expect that the reward given by Emperor Zhizheng was still heavy, and she was overjoyed and thanked her loudly.

Chu Qi Niangzi thanked her and retreated into the crowd, Xu Mo's eyes followed her, wanting to see where she was sitting, and after the end, she could also ask her about the method of communicating with animals.

Chu Qi Niangzi noticed the abnormality, and subconsciously glanced in the direction of Xu Mo, and was looking at Xu Mo, Xu Mo nodded to her.

Chu Qi Niangzi was stunned for a moment, but then nodded.

Emperor Zhizheng asked again: "Rank, which one still has the method of immortality, as long as it is proposed, I will definitely reward it heavily." ”

As soon as the words fell, one of them said yes, and then stood up. But after that, Xu Mo's mind was always on Chu Qi Niangzi, and he didn't pay attention to what the later people said.

finally waited until the end of the field, and when Emperor Zheng left, all the mages also dispersed. The seventh lady of Chu was rewarded, and a group of acquaintances surrounded her to congratulate her.

Xu Mo approached and said with a smile: "Congratulations, congratulations to the Seventh Lady for being named a wonderful virtual person." ”

Chu Qiniangzi glanced at Xu Mo, a little surprised, she knew Xu Mo, and said strangely: "It turned out to be Xu Daoyou, Daoyou is looking for my seventh lady, what's the matter?"

Xu Mo said: "It's a little trivial, I want to discuss it with Chu Qi Niangzi." ”

Chu Qi Niangzi was stunned again, she was worried that Xu Mo would be unfavorable to herself, and she would use the other party's means to defeat the Lanling Daoist, once she wanted to find trouble with herself, it would not be easy to resist, and she said at the moment: "These are all my friends, if you have anything to say, just say it here." ”

Xu Mo's gaze swept over everyone one by one, but seeing that there were men and women in this group of people, they were basically the refiners who had just come out, so he smiled at the moment, and when he turned around again, he had already used the spiritual consciousness of the sixth sense, "It's a little private matter, I'm afraid it's not convenient to talk here." ”

Chu Qi Niangzi was affected by his spiritual consciousness, and she couldn't help but have a good impression, but after all, she was not an ordinary person, and the impact was much lighter, so she hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay." ”

"Seven Ladies. A high-crowned man in his fifties hurriedly reminded her.

Chu Qi Niangzi said lightly: "Don't worry. ”

At the moment, he and Xu Mo walked out of the house, away from the crowd. Xu Mo said: "At the Ten Thousand Law Conference just now, I was really impressed to see the magic skills of the Seven Ladies." ”

Chu Qi Niangzi said: "Daoyou is too polite, just a small way, not worth mentioning." What is the matter with Daoist friends looking for me? There is no one else here, can you say it?"

Xu Mo said: "I want to ask the Seventh Lady for advice on how to communicate with animals." ”

"How to communicate with animals?" Chu Qi Niangzi looked indescribably surprised, "What are you talking about?What is the method of communicating with animals?" Looking at her expression, she didn't seem to understand what Xu Mo meant.

She doesn't look like she's lying? Isn't her ability enough to communicate with animals? Otherwise, how could she have such an expression?

Xu Mo thought for a while, then changed his words and asked, "How does the Seventh Lady communicate with animal souls?"

Chu Qi Niangzi said with a smile: "It turns out that Daoyou refers to how to communicate with the soul. ”

Xu Mo hurriedly added: "The main thing is to communicate with animal spirits. ”

Chu Qi Niangzi said curiously: "Is there a difference?"

When Xu Mo heard this, he thought: Could it be that her communication method, whether it is the soul of an animal or a human soul, is the same?

Then he said: "I care more about the communication with animal souls, Seventh Lady, how did you do it?"

"This ......" Chu Qi Niangzi couldn't help but hesitate for a while when she heard his direct question, "This is the unique cultivation method of the Void Refiner, Xu Daoyou, please forgive me for revealing it." ”

Xu Mo smiled: "That's it, Seventh Lady." I don't want you in vain, you say a quid pro quo, let's trade fairly. ”

Chu Qi Niangzi couldn't help but be moved when she heard this, this way of communicating with the soul is not unique to her. Moreover, among the cultivation methods of the Void Refiners, it is only a relatively shallow level, so if you enter any Void Refining Sect and ask someone for advice, you may be able to learn it. So there's no need to keep it too secretive.

She thought for a moment and asked, "What do you plan to exchange for?"

Xu Mo said: "In the next layman." Except for a little bit of silver. There was nothing else, Chu Qi Niangzi asked me what to exchange, and I could only pay for it. ”

"This ......" Chu Qi Niangzi thought for a while, she is not an immortal who does not eat fireworks in the world. Silver money is equally useful for mages and monks of all sects. He asked, "How much does Daoyou pay to buy it?"

Xu Mo saw that she had the intention of agreeing. Immediately relieved, and said with a smile: "Chu Qi Niangzi make a price." ”

Chu Qi Niangzi thought about it for a while, and then said, "I don't hide it from my friends." This method of communicating with the soul can be obtained from many places, since the Taoist friend wants to buy it from me, I will offer a price of 1,000 taels of silver, of course, the Taoist friend can not buy it. ”

"Well said. Xu Mo took out the silver ticket from his body and gave her a thousand taels.

Chu Qi Niangzi took it, counted it, showed joy on her face, and then put away the silver ticket, "If you want to learn the method of soul communication, first of all, we must find a suitable soul." ”

"It's not that hard. Xu Mo said a word, and the Soul Whip struck, and just as a sparrow flew over the two of them, it was hit by his Soul Whip and fell headlong.

As soon as Xu Mo stretched out his hand, he just caught it, and the sparrow flapped its wings a few times in his hand, trying to struggle to escape, but was held by Xu Mo and couldn't fly away.

Chu Qi Niangzi was shocked when she saw it, and praised: "Good magical powers." ”

Xu Mo handed the sparrow to Chu Qi Niangzi, "Qi Niangzi, please." ”

Chu Qi Niangzi took the sparrow in her hand, "Before the sparrow dies, the soul exists in the body, and we ...... At least with my current abilities, there is no way to sense the existence of its soul. ”

Xu Mo nodded.

Chu Qi Niangzi continued: "If you want to feel its soul existence, there are two ways, one is through a special cultivation method, and after you achieve it, you can sense the dead soul. The other is to kill it in a special way, and after killing, the soul will condense in a short time. The latter method feels easier, Xu Daoyou, let me show you. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out the long hairpin from his head and stabbed it at the sparrow, directly into the brain from the back of his neck, explaining various methods and tricks as he stabbed in. The sparrow struggled in her hands for a while, and then died.

Chu Qi Niangzi gently tapped the sparrow's head a few times with a hairpin, and described her technique while knocking. The sparrow's soul quickly came out of his body, and Xu Mo sensed it again. But Chu Qi Niangzi did not cover it with a black spirit net, and the sparrow's soul soon dissipated.

"Let me give it a try. Xu Mo's soul whip was swung, and another sparrow fell from the sky, and he reached out to catch it.

"Fellow Daoists, please. Chu Qiniang handed the hairpin to him.

Xu Mo took the hairpin, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Can you do it without your hairpin?"

Chu Qi Niangzi smiled: "This is just an ordinary hairpin, Taoist friends don't need hairpins, and it's okay to use a slender needle." If you like it, this hairpin will be given to you. ”

"In that case, you're welcome. Xu Mo thanked him, took Chu Qi Niangzi's hairpin, and stabbed the back of the sparrow's neck according to Chu Qi Niangzi's instructions.

But he tried several times in a row, and failed.

That Chu Qi Niangzi said with a smile: "When I practiced this set of techniques, it took at least three days, but I only succeeded once, and Daoist friends don't need to be discouraged." ”

Xu Mo had no choice but to write down the key and tricks first, and then asked Chu Qi Niangzi about that special cultivation method.

Chu Qi Niangzi said: "Xu Daoyou, this method is difficult to practice, when I cultivated, it took seven or eight years to barely succeed in cultivation. ”

Xu Mo said: "Daoist friends directly said that the method is that they don't worry about the length of cultivation time. "He can enter the picture, and he can enter the dream of others, the time in the picture and the proportion in reality are not clear for the time being, but into the dream of others, in reality, one day, in the dream is several years, so seven or eight years, I don't care about it at all.

When Chu Qi Niangzi heard him say this, she said the method of cultivation. This cultivation method turned out to be just a set of training methods to teach people to condense their spirits, and the purpose of cultivation was only to make people's spiritual consciousness more concentrated and cohesive, and it was just a set of very ordinary cultivation methods.

But for Xu Mo's Soul Whip, it was a very good set of cultivation methods that could further compress his Soul Whip. His soul whip has not grown much since Guo Qinglian came out of the water of the Consciousness World Realm. At this time, he obtained this set of methods for condensing spiritual consciousness. I can't help but feel displeased.

After that, there were some tips for communicating with the soul, but Xu Mo had this set of cultivation methods for condensing spiritual consciousness, so he didn't pay much attention to these tips.

Chu Qi Niangzi said it a few times, and Xu Mo remembered it in his heart. Tried running it again. Found to work. His heart rejoiced. But her face was not moving, and she asked a few more doubts at the moment, and Chu Qi Niangzi patiently answered them.

The two then broke up. Xu Mo returned to his residence.

For many days in a row, he no longer went out, and he didn't even have the intention of participating in the Ten Thousand Fa Conference, so he hid in his room and practiced this newly acquired cultivation method for condensing spiritual consciousness with peace of mind.

When Tu Shan and Caidie saw that he didn't go, they didn't dare to go, so they waited for Che Xingzi to return from looking for the Fountain of Youth.

More than ten days later, Xu Mo Dalu pushed the door out with a smile. Liu Zhenzhen went out with the red line again. Lin Xue's second daughter was guarding at home, and when she saw Xu Mo coming out, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Son, have you completed your cultivation?"

Xu Mo's cultivation, the two girls also know a little about Lu Dao, but they don't know what Lu Dao is specifically cultivating.

Xu Mo heard the two women ask, smiled and nodded, his spiritual consciousness itself is much stronger than others, and it is naturally easier to cultivate this set of methods. In the past ten days, although the degree of condensation of the soul whip is not large, the communication with animals has been achieved without difficulty.

"Where's Zhenzhen?" Xu Mo asked casually.

"Miss Zhenzhen and Sister Redline are out to play again. Lin Su'er replied with a smile, then suddenly remembered something, and continued: "Childe, Miss Caidie was looking for you just now, looking at her expression, she seemed to be a little anxious, and I don't know what the big deal is. ”

"Oh!" Xu Mo glanced around, but he didn't see the shadow of the butterfly girl, so he asked, "Where has she been?"

Xue Ling'er said: "I was still in the house just now, and now that I'm not here, I should go to find the Tu Shan clan." ”

"I'll go take a look. Xu Modao.

Tu Shan and Luo Xin live together, and Luo Xin will never miss to participate in the Wanfa Conference. Xu Mo walked out of his room and walked to Luo Xin's door, but saw that the door was locked.

He shouted a few times, but he didn't hear anyone agree, and shook his head at the moment, "Could it be that the Tu Shan clan is also going to the Ten Thousand Laws Conference?"

After looking at the sky, the sun was already in the west, it was getting late, and the Ten Thousand Laws Conference was about to disperse, so he stopped going and went back to his room to wait.

After cultivating for more than ten days in a row, although Xu Mo's spiritual consciousness was far stronger than ordinary people, he couldn't help but feel tired, so he lay down on the bed and took a nap.

In the haze, I suddenly heard the voice of the colorful butterfly girl outside, "Is Gongzi Xu out?"

Xue Ling'er said: "I came out just now, Miss Caidie, where have you been, so that Gongzi can be easily found?" There was a hint of blame in his tone. Since Xu Mo rescued her and Lin Su'er from the pictures of Guangling Daoren, this girl followed Xu Mo, was loyal to him, and maintained him wholeheartedly.

"Miss Ling'er, I'm sorry. Miss Caidie hurriedly apologized and explained, "A friend is here, and I went out to pick him up just now." ”

Xu Mo heard the joy in her tone, and felt even more strange, and asked loudly, "Is it the colorful butterfly girl who is back?"

When Miss Caidie heard his voice, she hurriedly said, "Master Xu, it's me, I'm back." ”

"Wait a minute. Xu Mo walked out of the room as he spoke, and the colorful butterfly girl's face was very happy, and when she saw him, she said impatiently: "Xu Gongzi, Che Xingzi is back." ”

"What?" Xu Mo couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, Che Xingzi went to Mangdang Mountain to look for Dingsheng Pond and Immortal Spring, and rushed back so quickly, could it be ......

So he asked, "Has he found the Fountain of Youth?"

Miss Caidie smiled: "Thanks to the son." Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, smiled, and continued: "It's just that this spring of immortality seems to be ......."

"What does it seem?" asked Xu Mo.

The girl said: "I can't say it, the Tu Shan clan will be back soon, and when I come back, I will bring the spring water of the spring of immortality, and the son will see it." I know the way. ”

"Oh, then wait until he returns. Xu Mo was puzzled.

Soon after, Yoo Jung-jung and Hongxian also rushed back. stopped saying that he had found the Fountain of Youth, and under curiosity, no one had the heart to sleep, and they were all waiting in the hall for the return of the Tu Shan clan.

Tu Shan's clan only came back at night, carrying a giant water hyacinth on his back, and as soon as he saw Xu Mo, he bowed to him and saluted, "I've seen Xu Gongzi." ”

Xu Mo returned the salute, and then asked, "Tu Shan's clan." I heard the butterfly girl say. Che Xingzi has recovered the Fountain of Youth?" his gaze naturally fell on the gourd on Tu Shan's back.

Tu Shan said: "It's true, but there seems to be something wrong with this fountain of immortality." ”

"What's the problem?" asked Xu Mo.

Xu Gongzi saw it himself. Tu Shan said, taking the water hyacinth off his body and holding it with both hands. Hand it to Xu Mo.

Xu Mo reached out and took the water hyacinth. As soon as I took it in my hand. I felt a slump in my hand. This water hyacinth was extremely heavy, and he hurriedly stretched out his other hand. Both hands grabbed at the same time.

Although this water hyacinth is not small, if it holds ordinary water, it can only hold more than a dozen catties, but now that he has it in his hand, he feels that it is at least one hundred and fifty catties.

How can it be so heavy?

Xu Mo was even more surprised in his heart, put the gourd on the table, unplugged it, and first got closer and sniffed it, his sense of smell was psychic, if there was any smell in the Fountain of Youth, he only needed to smell it with his nose, and he could smell it immediately.

But when he smelled it, he didn't smell anything. In addition, what is even more bizarre is that his psychic touch does not feel any moisture in the gourd, that is, the water in the gourd is not emitted at all.

Everyone else also gathered around the table to watch the Fountain of Youth, Lin Xue and the second daughter were in front of Xu Mo, not daring to be too presumptuous, but Liu Zhenzhen and Hongxian couldn't help but look into the gourd.

Liu Zhenzhen said: "This is the spring water of the Fountain of Youth, can it really make people immortal?"

But no one could answer that.

Xu Mo thought for a moment, "Bring a cup." ”

Lin Xi'er poured out the water in a teacup, gave the empty cup to Xu Mo, Xu Mo turned the gourd upside down, and poured a glass of water into the cup.

The water was so clear that it was held in a white porcelain cup, and it was almost impossible to find any water in the cup.

Liu Zhenzhen couldn't help but admire, "It's so clear." ”

Hongxian said, "Is it delicious?"

Xu Mo turned to Tu Shan's clan, "Have you ever tasted the spring water of the Fountain of Youth?"

Tu Shan nodded, "Tasted." ”

"How do you feel?" Xu Mo then asked. As soon as these words came out, except for the colorful butterfly girl, all the other women couldn't help but look at the Tu Shan clan.

Tu Shan's brows furrowed deeply, and he said regretfully: "Except that it is very cold, it feels no different from ordinary water." ”

Xu Mo let out an 'oh', picked up the teacup, brought it to his mouth, and took a sip. The spring water of the Immortal Spring is really as Tu Shan said, it is cold, and this kind of coolness is different from the general coolness, when you first taste it, it is only slightly cool, but when it goes down to the stomach, it seems to be dozens of times cooler at once. With Xu Mozhi's ability, after drinking such a small sip, he couldn't help but shudder. At that moment, I felt as if something was frozen in my body.

Xu Mo was extremely surprised, and after a careful recollection, the feeling of being frozen disappeared in an instant.

"Let me taste it, Uncle Xu, let me taste it. Seeing that Xu Mo drank the spring water of the Fountain of Youth, Hongxian was a little greedy and hurriedly shouted.

Xu Mo gave her the cup. Red Line couldn't wait to take a sip, and felt the coolness in her stomach from the spring of immortality, and then exclaimed, "Ahhhhhhh ”

Liu Zhenzhen was also curious, "Sister, let me taste it." ”

Red Line gave her the cup, "Sister, be careful, it's so cold." ”

Liu Zhenzhen took the cup, took a small sip, also shivered, and smacked her tongue: "It's so cold." ”

Xu Mo turned to the Tu Shan clan, "How did you find the spring water of this Immortal Spring?"

Tu Shan said: "Che Xingzi ......" Just said this, he suddenly thought of something, and said to Xu Mo: "Xu Gongzi, Che Xingzi asked me to apologize to Gongzi on his behalf, the Eternal Life Courtyard is strictly guarded, and he won't come in." In addition, Childe also wants to express his gratitude on his behalf for the kindness of my Phantom Fox clan for his maintenance. ”

Xu Mo waved his hand, "It's a trivial matter, it's nothing, you continue to talk about the Fountain of Youth." ”

"Yes. Tu Shan responded, and continued: "After the three of us broke up, Che Xingzi took people to Mangdang Mountain to find the Fountain of Youth, but this operation was not as difficult as imagined, and it was really unexpected. ”

"How do you say that?" Xu Mo couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, according to his initial guess, this car dealer entering Mangdang Mountain to find the Fountain of Immortality must have thousands of difficulties and dangers, and there will be many obstacles.

But Tu Shan continued: "There are many fierce beasts in Mangdang Mountain, and after Che Xingzi takes the servant people, after entering Mangdang Mountain, he is looking for the Fountain of Immortality while avoiding the fierce beasts. There are many hunters living in this reckless mountain, and he asks when he meets people. ”

"None of the hunters on the edge of the Mangdang Mountain had heard of the Fountain of Youth, but he followed the human tracks, asked and asked, and actually came to a village. ”

Xu Mo heard him mention a village, and he knew that there was something wrong, so he hurriedly asked, "What's so special about this village?"

Tu Shan nodded and said with a smile: "Childe guessed well, this village has a name, it is called Bulao Village." ”

"Immortal Village?" Xu Mo looked surprised.

Liu Zhenzhen hurriedly said: "This Immortal Village is related to the Fountain of Immortality?"

Tu Shan nodded and said, "The girl guessed well, there is a spring in this village, and it is the Fountain of Immortality." To be precise, someone discovered the Fountain of Youth, so they moved here, and over time, it became a village. ”

Everyone looked at each other a few times, but no one spoke, waiting for Tu Shan to continue.

But Tu Shanshi continued: "The people in this village are extremely wary of outsiders, and they heard that Che Xingzi was looking for the Fountain of Immortality, and without saying a word, they drove him out. Che Xingzi was also suspicious because of this, he took a few servants, cast illusions, and quietly approached the village to observe. Fortunately, this village is full of ordinary people, and no one knows magic, so Che Xingzi blended in through illusion, and no one even noticed. ”

Che Xingzi observed for a few days, and although he did not find the spring water of the Fountain of Youth, a strange thing appeared. ”

"What's the strange thing?" Hongxian was fascinated by the hearing and couldn't help but ask.

Tu Shan smiled: "Che Xingzi found that in addition to adult men and women, there were only some children left in this village, and from beginning to end, there was not a single old man. ”

Liu Zhenzhen suddenly realized: "Oh! I know that they have drunk the spring water of the Fountain of Youth, so they will not grow old." ”

Tu Shan gave a thumbs up and praised: "The girl's guess is not bad at all." But at that time, the car dealer didn't know what to do, and he thought that the life expectancy in this village was limited, and he would die before he was old. As a result, there was not a single old man in the entire village, except for adult men, women, and children. ”

Red Line urged, "You go on." ”

"Yes. Tu Shan responded and continued: "Che Xingzi continued to observe, and on this day, he finally found a problem. In front of a courtyard, he saw a young woman coming out of the courtyard with a small child in her arms, who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, and at first he thought that the woman was the mother of the child, and did not care. But suddenly the child began to cry, crying and crying, 'I want my mother, I want my mother.' When Che Xingzi heard this, he was slightly startled and thought, 'Could it be a kidnapper?'

Then I heard the young woman's words, and I couldn't help but be surprised, 'San'er, good boy, don't cry, grandma will give you candy to eat.' The kid was still crying, 'I don't want sugar, I want my mother, I want my mother.' The young woman said, 'If you don't behave, your grandmother is going to beat you.' So saying, he stretched out his hand and struck the boy on the ass a few times, and the child was beaten and cried even more fiercely. ”

"When Che Xingzi saw this, he was even more surprised: 'This young woman looks only eighteen or nineteen years old, how can she be the grandmother of this child?'" (To be continued......)

PS: There are actually millions of words
