Chapter 37 Soul Selection?(1/2)
When the mountain god and the city god were discussing the master, the master they called was lying on the bed in his residence, playing with the piece of ebony in his hand.
Yi Shuyuan weighed the piece of wood, stretched out his left palm, grabbed the wood with his right hand and patted it lightly.
"Pa~"
A crisp sound refreshed Yi Shuyuan's spirits.
However, although Yi Shuyuan was playing with the ebony, he was thinking about what happened at the City God's Temple. If the little stone was to pass the final level, a ghost must take it with him to cross over to the underworld, but this process was also very dangerous.
Ghost...?
The image of He Xin naturally appeared in Yi Shuyuan's mind, but he quickly shook his head and dismissed this thought. This girl was already pitiful enough, and he didn't want her to take this risk.
Then...
Yi Shuyuan thought of Jia Yuntong. This thing is big and won't fall easily on the Netherworld Crossing, right?
Just allowing Jia Yuntong to be reincarnated, Yi Shuyuan felt that it was a little too advantageous for him, and he didn't know what to do with someone like Jia Yuntong when he died under the underworld law?
First be tortured in the underworld for a period of time, and then reincarnate as an animal? This seems to have room for maneuver.
"Pa~"
The ebony wood collided with Yi Shuyuan's palm again, making a crisp sound.
Yi Shuyuan's mind turned to practice again. Now, although he has no magical skills, no Shinto magic power, and he has not developed the so-called immortal magic power, his aura is very active and different from the outside world. Can he cast spells?
According to the description of the blindness method in the mountain god's book, Yi Shuyuan was running his spiritual power during visualization and could feel a slight consumption of spiritual energy in his body, which seemed to be effective.
The deception method is not just an illusion. For example, "Follow the Wind", there are actually some ways to control the wind in it. This makes Yi Shuyuan even more excited and studies more seriously. He was completely disgraced by the previous cleaning.
Mian is very worried about it.
After trying for a while, Yi Shuyuan placed the ebony wood on the bedside, turned sideways and closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep. What he dreamed about in his dream was also an attempt at blindness. He also tried the earth control method. It was a dream anyway. At the same time, even if Yi Shuyuan did not consciously think about it,
, and naturally the mind turns at will, attracting the vitality of heaven and earth.
This made it possible that even though Yi Shuyuan had fallen asleep, the aura around him was still changing.
I passed by the Yuanjiang County Government Office on a night cruise, and I could clearly feel the difference between this place and other places, but I couldn't tell exactly what was different. Maybe I just felt it was more comfortable here, and the moonlight seemed brighter.
When the night got late, Xiang Changqing, who had returned to the City God's Temple, appeared at the top of the City God's Temple. He looked in the direction of the county government office, his eyes widening involuntarily.
Yi Shuyuan kept in mind what the ghosts and gods said before. Although the other party had no intention of interfering with his practice, he still tried his best to reduce the movement of spiritual energy and moonlight during practice.
Even the spiritual energy and moonlight weren't really moving, but when Xiang Changqing looked at them, he realized something was wrong.
In the Yuanjiang County Government Office, the activity of the spiritual energy is completely different, and the lunar light is even more dazzling. I have never heard of this kind of practice, let alone seen it!
Is it the aura of the heaven and earth's vitality itself that has gathered together, or is it that the heaven and earth's vitality has become active around Mr. Yi?
As soon as this thought came out, no matter what the outcome was, Xiang Changqing, a county god, felt a sense of awe in his heart!
For Yi Shuyuan, he consciously gradually found a way of cultivation that was more suitable for him, which was more comfortable, less energy-intensive, more comfortable, and less "disturbing"!
While Yi Shuyuan was practicing in his sleep, everyone in the Yuanjiang County government office felt that sleeping was more comfortable, and their minds were peaceful and nightmares were gone.
Lin Xiu's situation was even different. The anger he had aroused during the night trial a while ago had not dissipated, but it was gradually weakening as time went by.
At this moment, the aura and moonlight seemed to have its own aura, and a small part of it "wandered" or "refracted" to Lin Xiu's bed, who was already tossing and turning, and it also made Lin Xiu's brows, which were frowning in his sleep, gradually soothe.
Of course, that spiritual aura surrounds Yi Shuyuan, and a considerable part of it gradually blends into the ebony around him as Yi Shuyuan's mind is attached to it.
------------------
Early the next morning, Yi Shuyuan did not go to the library first after getting up. Instead, he went outside a special semi-sunken building.
This building is independent from the entire county government building complex, but its defensive strength has been significantly improved. There are government officials standing guard and patrolling outside. It is the dungeon of Yuanjiang County Government.
Yi Shuyuan wants to go and have a look at Jia Yuntong. If possible, he can lay a foreshadowing. People who are greedy for life and guilty will not have an easy time in the underworld after death. When the time comes, Yi Shuyuan appears or the city god comes forward to mention today.
It is equivalent to giving a deep thought to it, so as not to be whipped by the soul whip and lose one's mind.
That's right, the most severe punishment in the underworld is the whipping of souls. It is very likely that evil spirits will be whipped to death or even be knocked out of their wits.
As soon as Yi Shuyuan arrived outside the dungeon, he was immediately discovered by the guard.
"Who is coming?"
Yi Shuyuan surrendered and revealed his identity.
"I am Yi Shuyuan, the clerk who compiles the county annals. The cases that night must be recorded in the county annals. However, I also want to see the evil businessman Jia Yuntong and others and make some records to check for omissions and fill in the gaps. I wonder if it can be convenient.
?”
This is true. After all, the county magistrate still needs to look at that part of the content. It is indeed necessary to check for omissions and fill in the gaps. This is just a secondary purpose of Yi Shuyuan.
"Mr. Yi?"
The yamen guard responsible for guarding the dungeon took a closer look and saw that it was indeed that strange person in the yamen. Everyone in the yamen was in awe of Yi Shuyuan.
"Mr. Yi, it's not that we don't want to do this convenience, it's just that Jia Yuntong is a serious offender. Without the permission of the county magistrate, even his relatives are not allowed to visit..."
Yi Shuyuan frowned, should he still go to the county magistrate?
"Can you please be accommodating?"
Another gatekeeper thought for a moment and said.
"Well, Mr. Yi is one of our own after all. I'll go down and ask Master Six. If he agrees, it's okay to go down and have a look! Sir, wait a moment!"
Are you going to discuss this with the prison boss? Of course Yi Shuyuan would not have any objections, so he handed over his hand and thanked him.
"Sorry for bothering you, brother!"
The yamen officer entered the downward stairs and quickly reached the dungeon.
There was a table near the door, with a wine bowl and several plates of appetizers placed on it. A rather burly man in uniform was drinking alone here.
As soon as the officer came closer and told what was going on outside, the prison chief showed a surprised look.
"Is this Mr. Yi who can see ghosts and gods?"
"It's him. I've met him several times in the dining hall before, and he won't admit his mistake!"
The prison head frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded after hesitating for a moment and put on the hat on the table.
"Invite him in."
"yes."
Again, the rule is that the dead are alive. Since Yi Shuyuan is a member of the Yamen and has extraordinary abilities, and it is even more unlikely that he has any improper relationship with Jia Yuntong, it is okay to give him a favor.
Yi Shuyuan followed a government servant down the steps to the dungeon, and the light suddenly dimmed a lot.
The cell leader was waiting below, and when he saw Yi Shuyuan coming down, he held his hands in greetings.
"Mr. Yi!"
"This must be Mr. Liu, whom I have admired for a long time!"
Yi Shuyuan naturally responded politely.
"Haha, it's just a joking name for these bastards. Please invite me, sir. The prison is in chaos, so I will take you there myself to save these prisoners from unrest. Please come!"
"Thank you very much!"
Yi Shuyuan smiled. Sometimes having a special name is really convenient. If it were another junior official, he wouldn't be able to get the same treatment.
Not only is the light in the dungeon poor, but the further you go inside, the stronger the odor in the air becomes. However, it would be wrong to say that the air is not circulating. Yi Shuyuan can see that there is a narrow ventilation window on the top of many cells, about three meters high.
Refers to width.
The prison boss was still talking as he walked.
"Mr. Yi, Jia Yuntong has been a little crazy during this period. In fact, he can't ask anything. He is just ahead."
The dungeon of the Yuanjiang County Government Office is not big, and there are not many prisoners, but the limited number of prisoners instinctively shrink inward when they see the cell leader approaching, obviously they are very afraid of him.
It was the first time in Yi Shuyuan's life to see an environment like a dungeon, so he naturally observed the surroundings out of curiosity.
After turning a corner, we arrived at the felon area. The innermost area is where Jia Yuntong is imprisoned. The cells behind this bend are different from the cells outside.
There are almost no wooden fences in the cells inside, and the outer walls are basically built with heavy masonry. Only the door can be seen inside, and the door is not a wooden door, but made of iron bars. Looking at it,
It's extremely solid.
However, there are only two people in the entire felon area, and the outermost cell is the first one.
Yi Shuyuan spotted a familiar person through the iron door, and stopped in his tracks. He was treated differently from other prisoners. It wasn't that the cell environment was good, but that the treatment on the person was different. The shackles were very special.
The cell leader naturally noticed Yi Shuyuan's eyes and smiled.
"This person was the master who protected Jia Yuntong that night. He didn't say anything even after being tortured. The iron shackles behind his hands not only fixed his wrist bones, but also locked his ring finger. It's called a headlock, which is specially designed to prevent some good guys from getting into trouble on their feet.
The shackles also have mechanisms, and if you use force, your muscles and bones may be easily stabbed.”
"I see!"
Yi Shuyuan nodded, as if he had learned a lot, and then realized another problem.
"Then how does he eat?"
"Ha, just drink a bowl of rice porridge in your mouth all day long and hang on for your life. It will also let him vent a little more energy!"
