"But he is not fake." Zhou Guan said with a smile.
After saying this, he turned his head and looked at Chu Qingxiao.
"besides……"
As he spoke, he flicked his long sleeves, and purple light surged around him, and among the purple light around him, there was a faint purple thread overflowing, connecting with Yue Jian beside him.
Lu Sandao frowned, and his steps to step forward suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Chu Qingxiao noticed something strange about her and understood that although Lu Sandao was a heavy drinker on weekdays, he never let his guard down at critical moments.
The strange situation at this moment must have happened.
"Soul thread." Lu Sandao said this, looking at the purple silk thread connecting Yue Jian and Zhou Guan Jie.
"What is that?" Chu Qingxiao asked.
"A method that is unlikely to be put on the table." Lu Sandao said.
"This is a contract that the recipient of the spell voluntarily forges with the caster. Once the contract is completed, the two will be spiritually connected. The trauma suffered by the caster will appear on the recipient of the spell due to the existence of the soul line."
"This method appeared hundreds of years ago. It was used by some demon gods or foreign gods to injure those fanatical believers. They relied on the souls of the believers to defend themselves against the attacks of the enemy, and exchanged the lives of the believers for their own safety.
, as long as there are enough believers, it can even cause the caster to experience dozens of fatal injuries without getting hurt."
Chu Qingxiao's brows furrowed. Although Lu Sandao spoke in a calm tone, Chu Qingxiao also understood the seriousness of the situation at this moment.
"Is there no way to resolve it?" Chu Qingxiao asked.
"Yes." Lu Sandao nodded, but the look on his face was serious.
"This kind of contract is made voluntarily by the recipient. To untie the bell, the person who tied the bell must be tied. If you want to untie the soul thread, the recipient must wake up on his own, otherwise it will be difficult for external forces to interfere."
"In the past, if the recipient of the law could sign such a contract with the evil god he believed in, he must be an extremely fanatical believer in the evil god, so..."
After Lu Sandao said this, everyone understood the seriousness of the situation, but Ziyu asked doubtfully: "But how could Yue Jian believe in him..."
As she said that, she turned her gaze to Zhou Guan, who was standing there with a smile on his face.
Zhou Guan seemed to have noticed everyone's doubts. He said: "In despair, she prayed to me, and I responded to her."
"Bringing the people she cares about out of nothingness and bringing them to her, she rewards them with loyalty. This..."
"Is it difficult to understand?"
Zhou Guan's tone was joking, even vaguely provocative.
When these words came out, the faces of Chu Qingxiao and others suddenly became ugly.
"Tsukimi! Please wake up, didn't you hear what this guy is saying? He is lying to you!" Ziyu immediately turned to look at Tsukimi and shouted at him.
But at this moment, Yue Jian didn't know why, but her eyes were confused, and the last trace of clarity had disappeared. She just looked at the light beam in front of her, with a smile in her eyes, as if there was something in the light beam that made her
Something extremely joyful.
"It's useless." Zhou Guan shook his head as he looked at Ziyu trying to wake up Yue Jian in this way.
"When I chose her, I felt her gloom."
"She has been in boundless darkness. Maybe someone has reached out to her, but they have never really pulled her out of the darkness."
"So, she has been living a very hard life."
"Pain, hatred, and confusion are always on her shoulders."
"And I gave her the only light in the darkness."
"When you have seen the brilliance of light, you can no longer bear the loneliness of darkness..."
"She won't look back, just like everyone before her."
Zhou Guan said this and his eyes fell on Chu Qingxiao again.
"It's the same for you. I see the same haze in you. That haze is a hundred times, a thousand times more intense than hers..."
"Perhaps you will become my next believer."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Chu Qingxiao.
Most of them only vaguely knew that Yue Jian seemed to have a blood feud with a certain big shot, and almost all her parents had died in the previous disaster.
As for Chu Qingxiao, although they had never heard him mention his family.
But most of the time, Chu Qingxiao always comes across as polite and courteous in his dealings with others.
He not only understands right and wrong, but also has the passion of a young man.
Such a guy actually carries a more tragic past than Yue Jian's hatred of his family's death...
What could that be?
What will it be?
It’s hard for everyone to imagine.
Chu Qingxiao, however, remained silent, and even less responded to Zhou Guan's solicitation.
He just said: "I have no interest in indulging in a false past, let alone becoming a believer of a guy like you."
"False?" Zhou Guan raised his brows, stretched out one of his hands, and the wooden box held by Sanniang suddenly flew out and escaped into Zhou Guan's hands.
He smiled and said: "I said, this is not false."
As he spoke, he pointed at Song Guicheng beside him and said, "I said, he is the real Song Guicheng."
After hearing this, Song Guicheng frowned.
He looked confused, as if he didn't understand what was going on.
"Brother Zhou, what on earth are you talking about?"
Zhou Guan ignored his doubts and continued: "This wooden box is called the All Souls Box. I made it from the breath of all spirits that drifted outside the Dao realm."
"Its core is a living soul born outside the territory."
"But it only has a soul, but no aura."
"And all the spirits in the world, after interacting with people, will leave some breath of soul on the other person's body. This kind of breath will be stronger on the body of the person who is closer, and even some fragments of the soul will be left behind.
.”
"The living soul in my All Souls Box is like a perfect carrier. It can absorb the soul aura left around a person by the person he cares about, and then take on the appearance of the person you miss."
"The blank living soul, combined with the soul aura of the deceased person, creates a spirit body. You can say that he is not the original person, but he is definitely not fake."
"At least, he should be considered the him in her memory, right?"
Chu Qingxiao had never thought that Song Guicheng, whom he considered to be a fake, actually existed like this.
But this also explains why Song Guicheng's memory only stays on the day he left Jianyue City...
Because for Yue Jian, Song Guicheng disappeared from her life from that day on.
Chu Qingxiao became more and more aware of the seriousness of the matter. He looked at Yue Jian who didn't care about foreign objects at all and just stared at the beam of light in front of him in a daze. His heart was in his throat.
He knew that if this continued, Yue Jian might really fall into this half-truth and half-false illusion.
Thinking of this, he looked up at Zhou Guan again and said: "Let her go! I can pretend that none of this has happened. You can leave Tianxuan City and go anywhere. I promise that everything today will rot in my stomach."
!”
Chu Qingxiao's words were not whimsical.
The Zhou Guan in front of him has obviously been born by an unknown alien god.
And relying on the All Souls Box in his hand to devour living beings is his most important means of nourishing himself.
However, his own strength was not very strong. Chu Qingxiao secretly estimated that the fighting power of the foreign god possessing Zhou Guan in front of him was probably equivalent to that of a martial artist in the fourth and fifth realms, and he could not take more than three moves in the hands of Lu Sandao.
It belongs to the kind of existence that is not very powerful in itself, but its methods are extremely weird.
And even now, he lets Yue Jian walk into the pillar of light and devour it. With Lu Sandao around, he has no possibility of escaping.
Therefore, in Chu Qingxiao's view, such an exchange is a very reasonable choice for the foreign god in front of him.
But after hearing this, Zhou Guan smiled, and there was a hint of contempt in his eyes when he looked at Chu Qingxiao.
"What do you think of the outer gods?" Zhou Guan asked a very strange question at this time.
Chu Qingxiao was stunned and didn't know how to respond.
But Zhou Guan didn't seem to expect any answer from Chu Qingxiao. He just said: "In your eyes, the foreign gods are probably heinous people."
"Eat on the flesh and blood of living things, and take nourishment on the souls of all things."
"But just because the outer gods live outside the realm, it doesn't mean that we are all like that."
"Just like most people live to pursue interests and pleasure, you can't deny that there are also people who also have great ideals."
"The same is true for the outer gods."
"I like the creatures in this world, and I crossed the barrier of heaven to reach this world just to help these creatures I like."
"She chose to pray to me. As God, since I answered her prayer, I have an obligation to complete her salvation."
"I have lived in the outer realm for tens of millions of years. Life and death have long been no big deal to me. I don't care."
"In my opinion, being needed and then responding to living beings is the meaning of God and life."
"And as long as I live on this road, even a quarter of an hour is better than the ten thousand years I spent in the outside world."
Zhou Guan said this, with a look of fanaticism on his face.
But his words and his enthusiasm at the moment made Chu Qingxiao and others look at each other in shock.
They probably never imagined that the alien god in front of them was so completely different from the alien god they imagined.
They were a little confused, and for a moment they didn't know how to deal with the foreign god in front of them.
"You humans are such beautiful creatures."
"Your love and hate are both so charming."
"But sadly, most of you are bewitched by power and money and have no intention of enjoying this beauty."
"Your sacrifice of one's roots for the sake of the bottom is extremely ridiculous."
"Only by letting the soul escape from this ugly flesh and blood can we feel the true bliss!"
"So, I hope you understand..."
"I am not coveting her flesh and blood and soul, but I am redeeming a soul that has been overwhelmed by the suffering of the world."
