Guan Yi opened her eyes, raised her head and glanced casually.
Then she showed a surprised look, because she was the only one left in the room. She immediately focused her attention on her formation and quickly scanned the entire practice room and the surrounding dozens of meters.
Nothing at all.
This made her shocked and angry. Ma En had quietly left here without knowing it was appropriate, and she had completely hidden it from her. In fact, she was not surprised that Ma En could show such ability. She did not expect that Ma En would not Heed your own warning and leave.
In this case, he probably went directly to Yu Weijie.
Guan Yi didn't know whether he did this out of arrogance or because he didn't want to get involved, but no matter how he did it, it seemed particularly stupid in her eyes, and it turned her hard work of setting up the magic circle into a pure use of resources. waste.
She stood there and got angry alone for a while. Finally, she stamped her feet helplessly and decided to go out to find Ma En.
She casually reached into the Qiankun bag, took out a few pills and swallowed them directly, then stuffed three more under her tongue and cheeks, took out several kinds of talismans and hid them in her sleeves, and then took out four or five Different defensive magic weapons.
After being fully prepared, she left the magic circle behind her and stepped into the white mist without hesitation.
Guan Yi walked towards the library where her third senior brother might be, using her spiritual power to walk swiftly in the mist transformed by her master. However, after only walking a few hundred meters, she noticed something was wrong. It seemed that she was getting farther and farther away from the practice room. …
Is the surrounding fog getting thicker?
Although the mist created by the master is not always average in the world of cultivation, normally it will not be particularly rich. Especially now that he is in seclusion to refine spiritual treasures for his new senior brother, the mist should not gather. That's right.
Has Yu Weijie already taken action?
Being so worried, all the magic weapons around her started to work, and she also raised her hand to take a picture of a talisman on her body.
Then, she accelerated her pace, but the fog continued to become thicker, which also made the girl more nervous and worried. It seemed that Senior Brother Yu Weijie had just cast a lot of Xiaoyao Sect's spells, but now she But no movement was heard.
This was most likely because the battle was over, which meant that one of them might have lost.
It's even possible that one of them is dead.
Thinking of this, she became more and more anxious.
But before she found Yu Weijie, the surrounding fog began to become thinner again. After she jumped over the thickest dividing line and walked a few hundred meters forward, the fog almost completely dissipated.
The scene that appeared in front of her also made Guan Yi freeze.
Because there was a familiar wooden house not far in front of her, and a young and thin figure was standing in the yard chopping firewood. After noticing Guan Yi approaching, he raised his head and then exposed himself to her. Smile:
"Junior sister, I've chopped all the spirit trees you need for practice."
Looking at the young man, she whispered in disbelief:
"Senior Brother Du Jin..."
This figure is none other than Senior Brother Du Jin when he was a child.
What's going on, inner demon? Or is he falling under the illusion of senior brother Yu Weijie?
Young senior brother Du Jin inserted the ax into the ground, stood up and looked at her and said:
"Long time no see. You've grown so big."
Guan Yi took two steps back:
"No, you are not Du Jin, he has..."
"Dead." The young man said first, "I also know that I originally thought you would avenge me. Do you remember, after you became a disciple, I was the one who took care of you the most. No one can do anything without me. bully you.
"But why do you stand in front of that guy Yu Weijie when he wants to avenge me?"
The young man stared straight at her, his face full of confusion and doubt.
She explained somewhat guiltily:
"I don't know, but he doesn't seem to be a bad person, and the master has accepted him as a disciple. I can't let senior brother Yu kill another senior brother of mine. Is this wrong?"
The young man sneered:
"Master? Do you think he really wants to take Ma En as his disciple? Do you think he really cares about his disciples killing each other? If he did, he wouldn't let me go to him to die. It's him He pushed me off the cliff with his own hands."
Looking at the boy in front of her who was exactly the same as in her memory, the girl shook her head heavily and forced herself to wake up.
"No, you are not Senior Brother Du Jin at all, you are Senior Brother Yu Weijie's illusion." She whispered.
The young man raised his eyebrows:
"How do you know I'm really dead? How do you know the ghost in front of you is not my ghost?"
Guan Yi told herself firmly:
"Your golden elixir has been crushed by Ma En, and your soul has long been gone."
Du Jin's face darkened slightly when he heard this, as if he didn't know his life or death before Guan Yi said this:
"Is that so? It seems that my three souls have indeed dispersed, but my seven souls may not have completely disappeared. If I remember correctly, the ultimate goal of practicing Xiaoyao Gong is to mix our soul, aura and body. It becomes a happy mist.
"It's just like Master, he no longer has a spirit or soul that can be attacked and seen. His soul has completely merged with his aura and body into the same thing, and it can't be distinguished at all.
"And I have also perfected the Golden Core, and am only half a foot away from the Nascent Soul. Although my three souls are still hidden in the Golden Core, my seven souls should have also turned into mist, but they are still in the Golden Core. It was dangling inside, not integrated with my body.
"But when my three souls dispersed, my seven souls must have been collected by the master, so you can still see me."
Guan Yi looked at him and said:
"Brother, you and I both know that the three souls are us, and the seven souls are just bridges. If the three souls are gone, then you are no longer a human being. What I see now is just the afterimage of you who is still struggling. It's just because You look so lifelike because of your aura.
"You are just the remaining memory of Tuan, not the real Du Jin, and there is no possibility of resurrection.
"Rest in peace, brother."
She persuaded sincerely.
Du Jin nodded:
"You are right, but my good junior sister, do you know why you can still see me?"
Guan Yi looked at him warily:
"Why?"
Du Jin said with a smile:
"My atomized seven souls were collected by the master, and he quietly sent them to you. You and the other two senior brothers and sisters have also reached the golden elixir, although they are not as far away from the Nascent Soul as I am. Half a step, but perfection is only a matter of time.
"And at least four of your seven souls have also completed the atomization. What you may not know is that Master once secretly taught me a technique. This is why I did not learn other techniques, because I only learned Master's technique. The secret technique used up all my energy.
"The technique he taught me is to let me learn how to sneak into your golden elixir quietly and how to blend with other people's mist."
Guan Yi looked at him in surprise and said:
"What?"
Du Jin said with a smile:
"That's right, junior sister, I am in your golden elixir, staying around your other atomized four souls, and have even become entangled with them. Without the three souls, I am indeed just some residual memories and consciousness, with those lonely souls. Like the wild ghosts in the ghosts, they have already died.
"If I'm lucky, I may have been reincarnated, or maybe I have nothing left long ago. But as long as I stay in your golden elixir, integrate into your four souls, and stay around your three souls, I will You can still survive."
Guan Yi said sadly:
"What's the use? Senior brother, you already know that you are dead. Even if your seven souls have not dissipated, these remaining things are just memories and remnants. They are no longer the real you. How can we practitioners Can’t see through real life and death.”
Du Jin smiled miserably:
"See through life and death? How can I see through? If you didn't stop Yu Weijie from attacking Ma En, then why am I a useless wild ghost who has long since dispersed without the support of obsession, but you stood beside the murderer? Behind him, he was firmly supported.
"Why, senior brother, did you ever feel sorry for you before?"
At this point, his tone also turned into a strong question.
Guan Yi looked at him and said:
"But Master has already..."
"Still master!" Du Jin's face showed anger, "Who do you think caused me to end up like this? Now that you know that I am Du Jin's remaining seven souls, not some illusion or inner demon, then I will Let me tell you directly.
"Master already knew that Ma En would kill me. I won't lie to you. I did take the lead in the fight with Ma En, but this was not because your good senior brother was a demon with two faces. I was the one who saw that Ma En had the body of a heretic demon.
"Then I remembered Master's words. After I noticed Ma En's talent, what he said to me in private before sending me to fight for the opportunity changed. Those words were no longer an inspiration to me, but became A clear threat.
"He actually told me at that time that he wanted to take Ma En as his disciple, and if he couldn't stop it, it would be his final chance to break through to the Nascent Soul, and I also know the inside story that you don't know, so I killed him immediately."
Guan Yi looked at the afterimage of her senior brother with some discomfort and asked:
"What's the inside story?"
Du Jin smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly:
"Look at me now, you can see me because I practiced the secret technique he taught me.
"But guess why he taught me this secret trick."
Guan Yi's face instantly turned pale because she had already thought of something.
Du Jin continued:
"That's what you think. The real function of this secret technique is not to allow me to send the remaining seven souls into your golden elixir after death. Don't you think this is particularly stupid? I will do this just because of my three souls." The soul has dispersed.
"The real function of this secret technique is that after you reach the perfection of the golden elixir, it can plunder all the seven souls that have been atomized by you, and directly turn all your skills and Taoism into my property. This is what The secret of Xiaoyao Gong.
"The purpose of his making your three souls and seven souls atomize is not so that you can achieve immortality, but to turn your souls and the skills you have learned into the form of spiritual mist that he has learned, so that he can I can control your souls easily.
"Haven't you ever wondered why I am so focused on practicing and never waste my energy elsewhere? Because I know very well that those so-called techniques and swordsmanship have no meaning at all. As long as I am close to the threshold of breaking through the Nascent Soul That's it.
"When the time comes, the techniques that Yu Weijie has worked so hard to cultivate and the swordsmanship that Zhong Ruixue has learned will be mixed with their seven souls and swallowed by me. All the results of their practice originally belong to me, so I did not practice any techniques. .
"Actually, I have basically mastered the secret technique, and I would be able to do it after a while.
"At that time, with Zhong Ruixue's swordsmanship and Yu Weijie's understanding of the technique, I will be able to break through the Nascent Soul in one go."
Guan Yi looked at him as if she had never really understood him:
"So you and Master originally wanted to use a few of us as elixirs for your promotion?"
Du Jin corrected him sincerely:
"It's not you, but Zhong Ruixue and Yu Weijie. Although I know you probably can't believe it, I have never thought about killing you.
"You can recall that I would not deliberately persuade you to practice these less important techniques, and I would also deliberately let you distract your energy on excessive paths, even to the extent that it would delay your practice.
"Because I just hope that you can cultivate into a state that is of no use to my breakthrough, so that Master will not let me kill you. I have no feelings for the two of them not because we are indifferent, but because they can't be with me in the first place. become friends.
"But you are different. You are kinder and simpler than them all. I really regard you as my junior sister. We have lived together for so many years. You must know that I am not some cold-blooded monster and there is no way I would attack you.
"It's just that I really didn't expect you to cover up Ma En."
Guan Yi lowered her head in shame:
"I thought..."
Du Jin was right. The suggestions he gave him in practice were not conducive to him, because the things he mainly studied were of almost no use for breaking through to the Nascent Soul, and were techniques far away from the right path.
Seeing this, Du Jin immediately said:
"Junior sister, but I still have a chance. You know that a person's memory will be mixed with the three souls and the seven souls. The purpose of master handing me over to you is to let you absorb my seven souls and absorb the gold of my breakthrough. Dan has perfect experience and masters this secret technique.
“You will also get my memories during this process, but you will definitely filter them out.
"But I don't want to become your nourishment, junior sister. I have never asked for anything in my life. I only ask you this time."
Snapped!
He knelt down heavily, looked at the girl and said:
"Let my seven souls dominate your soul, let the mist melt into you, lend me your body and golden elixir, and let me complete my revenge on Ma En. As long as I can kill him, I will I will give my body back to you.
"I will never break my promise."
Guan Yi shook her head and stepped back:
"Brother, practitioners should not create blood light again, and you are already dead."
Du Jin looked at him gloomily:
"I know I'm dead...
"But I still want to 'live', I'm sorry, junior sister."
