"You guys come down, I've already gone down to the hillside."
Less than half a quarter of an hour later, Ghost Fangzong's voice came from the hillside behind.
Yue Guanchao looked around. There was no need for everyone to go down. Since they were looking for Axi's body, Ban Shu would definitely follow. Ban Nu, the woman whose bloodline is closest to Guifangrao, would also go down. After that, he, Song Siyuan, Xu Xiake and the rest must stay up there to prevent Gui Fangzong's people from causing damage.
After discussing with those who decided to go down, Yue Guanchao led them to climb down the cliff half way up the rope. After climbing fifty or sixty meters along the rope, they could already step on the tree crown. They continued to walk down through the high and low branches until they stepped on the soft ground. , they then let go of the rope.
At this moment, the sunlight above the head has been covered by the tree canopy, leaving only scattered rays of light illuminating the land. Ancient trees and vines are involved, and the grass is waist-deep. Before reaching the southwestern tropics, we have already seen the lush and lush tropical scenery for the first time.
"Let's go!"
Ghost Fangzong walked downhill on the vine grass until he came to some rock formations before stopping. In front of these rock formations, there were several huge banyan trees growing on the rock formations. He did not know how long they had been growing, and their roots were twisted and stretched. Even the rock formation behind the tree cracked a little and was filled in with tree roots and vines.
"That's her. It was here that I saw the body."
Song Siyuan and Yue Guanchao stepped forward and took a closer look. Two banyan trees grew naturally to block the sun. The trunks were intertwined with each other, forming a groove just at the roots of the trees. It could be seen that a corpse was entangled with the roots of the vines, lying on it like a cradle.
The appearance of this corpse is that of a young woman, with snowy skin and black hair, red lips and white teeth. The clothes on her body have been exposed to wind and sun for decades, and have dried to the point where they are blown away by the wind. They have been drilled in and out by thin vines and weeds. It does not show its original shape.
She has lost her human appearance, just like the fallen goddesses of all ages. Flowers, plants, vines and banyan trees are stretched out from all parts of her body. She leans on the curved nest of the tree trunk in a curled posture, just like an elf in the forest. Extraordinarily strange.
Yue Guanchao looked at the face of the corpse carefully. Most of her face was covered with brightly colored fungus flowers, as if she had a basket of flowers on her face. Only by virtue of her still intact skin, she could tell that it was what Mr. Mi had described. A fine appearance.
"Is it her?"
Song Siyuan came closer and looked carefully under the body. Looking at the position under the skirt, she did see that the placenta and placenta had dried and were covered with rattan.
With the traces of the placenta and umbilical cord, she was basically sure that Gui Fangzong was not lying. She turned back and glanced at Ban Shu, signaling that the woman's identity had been confirmed.
Ban Shu thought he was abandoned by his parents, but after listening to Mr. Mi's words, he realized that his parents did not abandon him intentionally, but it was a disaster caused by man-made disasters. Even if Axi had never taken care of him, seeing his biological mother's body now, he could only I feel mixed emotions and my nose is sour.
Walking forward, Ban Shu wanted to touch the face of the corpse, but Song Siyuan quickly stopped him: "I don't know what kind of fungus is on Axi's body. It may be contagious. Try not to touch her body as much as possible."
"Then, we can't collect her body?"
Regarding this point, Ban Shu obviously knew what he was asking. The way of death of Axi was almost the same as that of Luo Shennu. The vines, vegetation and trees in the body were integrated, making it difficult to separate them. No one knew where these vines were involved. It is almost impossible to completely remove it, and of course there is no way to release the body.
Song Siyuan said slowly: "It's impossible. These vines can exist for such a long time. They have already penetrated deep into the rock formations. It will not be easy to get the body away. We don't even know why Axi appeared here and dragged the body rashly. Don’t know what to expect.”
Ban Nu stepped forward and said, "Brother, we really can't remove the body now, but I can sense what Axi went through before he died."
After that, Ban Nu bent over and stroked the vines near the corpse. A gust of wind blew the wild grass. Her eyes gradually turned from focused to void, as if she had entered a fantasy world. When her eyes focused again, Ban Nu gasped: " How is it possible, there is nothing!”
"Nothing?" This sentence made everyone confused.
Song Siyuan realized that there might be something wrong with Axi's body, and asked with concern: "Is this normal? Could it be because Axi died too long ago and no consciousness remains!"
"Of course it's not normal."
Ban Nu looked at her cautiously: "Every living thing has consciousness, whether before life or after death. But after the body dies, the remaining consciousness can be captured by me. No matter how Axi died, there will definitely be residual consciousness. This thing will always be there on your body.”
"Unless it was taken away on purpose?"
Ban Nu's words aroused curiosity among others.
Yue Guanchao scratched his head and asked puzzledly: "Can the consciousness be taken away? Why is your consciousness somewhat similar to the soul!"
Regarding this point, consciousness and soul are obviously two things. Ban Nu shook his head at them: "No, the soul is a religious explanation of the afterlife. Whether it exists or not is a matter of two things. The consciousness I am talking about is closer to memory and memory." odor."
"I can understand the smell, but people are dead, how do you know their memories." Xu Xiake was very interested in this point.
"Luo Shennu has part of the Guifang clan's blood. Do you know how I can sense the consciousness of living beings and communicate with living beings?" Ban Nu stopped trying to be pretentious and pointed to the center of his eyebrows: "Look, there are a pair of invisible eyes between the eyebrows. Eye."
"Eye?"
Everyone looked at Ban Nu's eyebrows and saw nothing except a red mark.
No one would believe that there is a pair of eyes in her forehead. Ban Nu continued to explain: "From your point of view, my forehead has nothing, but I can feel a foreign body sensation on my forehead, as if something is sticking to it. , but I don’t feel uncomfortable, as if it belongs to me in the first place, it’s just that I’ve been turned on.”
"Similar to having your eyes opened?"
Yue Guanchao and the others also remembered Yugu's words. Only when a weak person opens his eyes or skills as an adult can he become the goddess of falling. Ban Nu probably meant this thing between the eyebrows.
Ban Nu nodded: "Let's think that this thing is an eye. Whether it is seeing things, treating diseases, or being lost, Goddess Luo uses this eye. Things that ordinary people can see, I can also see, but , what you can feel with your eyes are things that you cannot see with your naked eyes, such as consciousness, smell, memory, emotions, residual thoughts, and spells."
She knew that describing these things out of thin air was a bit empty. She recalled the white-haired animals they saw and planned to explain them with an example: "Things you can't see can be seen with your eyes, just like the white-haired animals we saw." For animals, you can only see their death and wounds, and you can’t see any more, but I can see more information about them by touching them and using my eyes.”
Ban Nu paused and counted the things he could feel: "For example, I can see their memories before death, feel their panic before death, and feel the lingering smell of hunters when they kill them. I can even feel that they still have residual thoughts of looking for something in their hearts. In addition, I can also know that the death of these foxes has produced a curse. If someone wears it on their body, it will probably cause some disease nightmares. After I learned all the information about the many white-haired animals, I also deduced who hunted them."
"It's like, if you compare living beings to a painting, all you can see are shapes and outlines, but I can perceive their paints, brushstrokes, details, connotations, and symbols. It is precisely with this additional information that I Only then can we help people see things, treat their illnesses, and help people fall into despair.”
"Not just animals, but people too."
Mentioning this point, Ban Nu changed the subject: "For example, there was a person who was possessed by something. His family told me that he was possessed by a demon. He came to me to help him see what was going on. I could feel that there was something wrong with him. For those of you, if you trace back to the fear experience before he was possessed, and then look at the smell on his body, you will probably know the reason why he was possessed. With a little guidance, you can eliminate the psychological barrier, which can be regarded as taking good care of the nightmare. ”
"For example, if he is just a patient, then the smell on his body will be weird. By smelling the smell, you can know what kind of illness he is, and just prescribe the right medicine. As for the fall, you all understand, it's just the medicine and The hybrid effect of memory.”
Not much was said, and back to the topic, Ban Nu's face became serious: "Think about it, as long as I am a living person, I can always feel a lot of things. I can't feel any information from Axi, either it means that she is not a living person, or I know that she is not a living person. After her death, all traces of her were erased.”
The first person to discover Axi's body was Gui Fangzong, and everyone looked at the old man behind them.
Ban Nu shook his head: "It's not him. Anyone who can get rid of all the information on Axi is probably from Guifang, and it will definitely not be any of us. Maybe, some people have been here after Guifang Sect." once."
When Ban Nu mentioned this, Song Siyuan seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes lit up: "Could it be that when Gui Fang Que Nian came over, he had already found Axi and wanted to take her back, but before that, Gui Fangzong took the child They took him away first, and when they found him, they wiped out all his consciousness."
"If you think so, could the white-haired animal that the white-haired animals have been looking for in the past few decades be Banshu?"
Song Siyuan's guess was very close to the truth. According to Ban Nu's explanation, an ordinary person probably couldn't completely eliminate all consciousness of Axi's existence. Those who could do this must be from Guifang.
If they had come here earlier than Guifangzong, they would not have left the child behind. Probably, they found Axi after Guifangzong. At the same time, their purpose would have been defeated after the child disappeared.
"It's possible. At least the Guifang people have been looking for Axi, so they must also know the existence of Ban Shu. It's possible to find a Guifang person who is wandering outside."
Yue Guanchao listened to Er Rao's words and asked, "But is what you feel real? What if it's just your hysteria? Are you sure your eyes can feel this?"
