Everyone watched him pull Mu Yu away and immediately became vigilant. However, they did not expect that after he pushed Mu Yu down, he took out a medicine box with his backhand.
"I've told you that you can get your things safely by following the route I told you, and then return the same way. The round trip only takes a little more than six hours, but it lasted until morning. How dare you not listen next time? Did the old man say something?"
As the old man spoke, he applied the medicine to Mu Yu. The force was so strong that it was as if he was punishing his disobedient grandson. Mu Yu grimaced in pain.
This scene made everyone else's faces look strange, and they all wondered whether what Mu Yu said was true?
"Old man, stop pretending! You...oh wuwu! Be gentle! What is your purpose!" Mu Yu said and took out the map and continued: "Don't tell me that this is not You wrote it?"
"I wrote it." The old man glanced at the map, took out another medicine from the medicine box and handed it to Princess Yao, saying: "You put the medicine on the girl and go to the inner room."
Everyone who had originally relaxed their vigilance became nervous again when they heard the old man's admission. Especially Princess Yao, who didn't know whether to accept the medicine handed over by the old man.
"Take it."
Hearing the old man urging again, Longque caught it first and pulled Princess Yao towards the inner room. She could feel that the old man had no ill intentions towards them. Although she didn't know what his purpose was, the injuries on her body were also It's extremely serious and really needs treatment.
"Old man, now you should tell us what your purpose is, right?" Mu Yu also felt that the old man did not have any malicious intent, so his tone became much softer: "If you want us to help you get back the incomplete Divine Soul, then I’ll get it for you too, if you want the thousand-year-old black ice, there’s really nothing you can do about it.”
"What if I say that my goal has been achieved?" After pushing Mu Yu up, the old man called Cooper over.
"Then what is your purpose? Isn't it to seize the body?" Mu Yu stood up and arranged his clothes. He was surprised that the purpose mentioned by the old man was achieved.
Isn't seizing his body his ultimate goal, or is there some purpose that we have secretly accomplished?
The old man glanced at the group of curious young people in the room, sighed and said: "Seizing the body is indeed my goal, but that was what I thought before."
The old man began to tell what he had done.
"You should all know about my death, right?"
Mu Yu and others nodded. He saw this with his own eyes after the old man's memory, and others were also informed of this by Mu Yu.
"My purpose from the beginning was to find someone to reincarnate. This is why I split my soul into two. One part was sealed in the thousand-year ice, and the other part was me. I came out to find a suitable person to reincarnate. Those who give it up will be lured into the Tianchi."
The old man said such ferocious things in plain words, and Mu Yu and others couldn't help but frown.
"Why are you looking at me like this? Until now, grandpa, I have never taken away anyone's body." When the old man said this, he did not forget to raise his head. It was obvious that his plan had not succeeded, but he looked proud. .
It is indeed true. The old man still has the appearance of a divine soul, but because of this, the old man's strength has also dropped to the innate realm. This is not his disguise. The divine soul of the Border Realm is so powerful, it is equivalent to another self, but the divine soul It is not without its weaknesses. The most obvious weakness is that when the physical body dies, the soul becomes a rootless seedling. Without the nourishment of the physical body's energy, it will wither and die sooner or later.
Therefore, the soul has two options. The first is to reshape the body, but this is very difficult. The materials required are extremely rare, and it also requires the help of strong men of the same level to stabilize the new body, so that they can complete the soul and the new body. fusion.
But who can really trust anyone? The souls of strong men of the same level are a great supplement to oneself, and after the physical body dies, the strength of the souls will be greatly affected. In this world of monks where the jungle preys on the strong, who can truly believe that others will not be in trouble when they are down? What about killing yourself?
Therefore, there is a second option for the soul to be resurrected, which is to seize the bodies of other people. However, in such a situation, you must practice again and start everything from scratch. However, as long as you hide it well, there is no chance of rising again, so this It is also the path that most souls will choose.
For those who have not chosen these two paths from beginning to end, their souls will remain in the world, but this does not mean that they will not suffer losses. During this process, they will not be able to receive energy, and their strength will be greatly weakened. Falling down the realms step by step, just like Mr. Lian now. Originally, his soul would not take away from others, and it could exist for a hundred years with the strength of the border realm. However, because he split the soul into two, it was greatly shortened. At this time, his strength also dropped to the innate level. When all his cultivation was gone, that is when he dissipated.
In fact, it was Mu Yu's good luck. If Master Lian hadn't split his soul into two, and the strength of the two souls had been seriously lost, the other half of his soul might have been invaded by him instantly when it invaded Mu Yu's body. Okay, even though Mu Yu himself has a soul, he is still a newly born soul after all. Compared with the soul of the Border Realm, he is not even a little bit worse.
"Originally, when I first came out, I was running for the purpose of seizing the body. In order to complete the plan, what I left behind was the evil spirit. But I only thought about revenge. Only evil spirits can have 100% success. I was determined to complete the plan to seize the body, but I also stumbled on this matter, leaving all the evil spirits behind, and what came out was my kind body."
Indeed, compared to the bloody soul, the person in front of him always looked kind and kind.
"Originally, when I came out as a kind-hearted person, I also came with the purpose of seizing the body, so I came to the foot of Tianshan Mountain, found this inaccessible village, and began to look for candidates who met my requirements. But after living here, I'm familiar with these people, so it's not easy for me to start. I originally met a few suitable candidates, but my compassion was gone. When you saw the group of boys chasing behind you, they called you "uncle" or "uncle" one by one. Grandpa, are you still cruel enough to hurt them?"
Mu Yu and others nodded subconsciously, and Mu Yu, who had had direct contact with the evil soul, felt even more deeply about this. He was a guy completely wrapped in hatred and malice. Fortunately, this kind person came down at that time. The soul, if it is an evil soul, may have consequences.
Seeing these little guys agreeing with his words, Mr. Lian chuckled and continued: "So I plan to give up this plan and stay here peacefully until I am gone in a hundred years. But every ten years I will have to Go back and contact the other half of the soul once, otherwise it will disappear faster. It's not that I'm afraid of dying, but that after I die, the guy will come down on his own."
"That piece of thousand-year-old black ice can maintain the soul of the evil spirit, so his strength is not depleted as fast as mine, nor can it dissipate as fast as mine. Therefore, I have to go up and stabilize him every time, and tell him again and again. We didn’t find a suitable candidate, and then he probably became impatient and ran away secretly several times.”
"As soon as I saw that line, I thought of a way to seal him with this sword."
I don't know when, the white holy weapon appeared in Master Lian's hand, and he touched it gently, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.
"Ruohan, you have followed me for more than three hundred years. Since you pulled it out, I will leave it to you." After that, the old man threw the sword to Mu Yu.
Mu Yu also did not expect that the old man would send this holy soldier away as soon as he said so. Just when he was about to refuse, he was interrupted by the old man, and he continued: "I sealed him in the sword that day, thinking that it would dissipate with time. But I didn't expect that four years ago, I felt something strange in Tianchi, so I went up the mountain. Unexpectedly, I found that my body was resurrected and maintained the combat power of the feudal period. I also retained the power to reach the sky at that time. I finally managed to escape with all my might."
four years ago? Mu Yu thought of something. When Cooper received the White Tiger inheritance, it was four years ago. It was also halfway up the mountain. At that time, he seemed to say that something rushed out of the temple, and it might be the three ancestors of Tianshan. The suppressed Hades creatures, right?
Could Master Lian's resurrection be related to this?
"That's when I suffered a big loss and escaped from Tianchi. However, I set up a backup plan in Tianchi. My body was also trapped in it and I couldn't leave the scope of Tianchi. But because of this, I couldn't go to Tianshan again and missed that place. After ten years of contact, my strength has weakened even more, and now I only have the innate realm left."
The old man shook his head, feeling very sorry. After all, no one wants to die. He continued: "It doesn't matter if I die, but once I die, the power to seal the evil soul will disappear. I have already calculated it." Everything, including the time for the evil spirit to dissipate, has been calculated, but now I am powerless, but it has no influence. After I die and the evil spirit regains freedom, the first thing I do is go down the mountain to look for it. The one who wins the body."
Mu Yu also understood at this time and answered: "You can't get close to Tianchi, so you lied to us and asked us to deal with the evil spirit?"
"Why are you talking so ugly! What do you mean by lying! Is the lotus flower really useful? It's just a way to deal with evil spirits." The old man was about to hit Mu Yu with his crutch: "I sensed something in Cooper before. After seeing the aura of the White Tiger, I knew that he must have obtained the inheritance of the White Tiger, so I wanted to use the power of the three ancestors in him to destroy the evil spirit. You see, the result is good, what a good decision I made."
Mu Yu wanted to tell him that you planned well, but I destroyed the evil spirits.
But he didn't say anything. Instead, he asked another question: "I have one last question. Who killed your body?"
The old man did not expect Mu Yu to suddenly make a big turn and ask this question. He pondered for a while and then slowly said: "Holy Lord Qinglong."
