Chapter 83: Where the Bones Are, Where the Soul Relies
Tonight is destined to be anything but peaceful.
Outside Lanruo Temple, the dark clouds that had been shaken away by Sun Ran's roar gathered again. The wind gradually picked up, and then a thin stream of rain fell. After a while, the drizzle turned into moderate rain, and the sound of patter of water dropped again.
It rang and the weather returned to its original state.
Amidst the sound of wind and rain, the ethereal call of the dryad continued: "Xiaoqian~Xiaoqian~"
The voice was feeble, as thin as a gossamer, mixed with the sound of rain, as if it came out of the abyss of the Nine Netherworld, and was extremely eerie. All the residents in the hall shivered, and their hair stood on end.
"Does this still allow people to live?" Li Yan cursed lowly and held the Xiuchun knife in his hand, but he felt that the knife was not strong enough to hold, and he lost all the confidence he had in the past.
The female relatives all gathered around Ke'er, seeking a sense of security from this female Taoist priest.
Yang Tingyong looked at Sun Ran naturally and saw that he was still meditating calmly at the door of the hall. He felt relieved and asked in a low voice: "Brother Changqing, what should we do?"
"It's okay. The monsters don't dare to enter the palace. They are just taking advantage of the wind and rain to scare people." Sun Ran's voice was clear and clear. He had shown powerful methods just now. When he spoke now, his voice naturally carried the power to stabilize people's hearts, and he caressed people easily.
The commotion in the hall was calmed down.
Sun Ran looked at Xiaoqian who was not far away, and saw that her face still showed panic. Her already pale face was almost transparent, and asked with some confusion: "Why is the girl so panicked?"
Before, he only thought that the female ghost was afraid of the power of the tree demon, but now that he has shown his strength and blocked the tree demon outside Lanruo Temple for so long, there is no reason for her to be afraid all the time.
Xiaoqian bit her lip and said nothing, but tears appeared in her eyes, rolled out, dripped in the air, and quickly turned into gas, as if there was something hidden.
"Girl, there is something wrong, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it."
Sun Ran's tone was very gentle, and his expression was as peaceful as ever. His appearance was very handsome, he was a very handsome man, and every move he made was as gentle as jade. Although he had lied to her before, this still gave Xiaoqian a great deal.
With courage, he finally spoke: "My dear benefactor, Xiaoqian's body is buried near Lanruo Temple. The body must have been dug up by her grandmother at this time. If she destroys the body, Xiaoqian will not survive."
At this time, he was no longer called Young Master, but instead called Bengong.
Sun Ran was startled, he didn't expect such a thing to happen. What does this person's death have to do with his bones?
Chang'e, who had been closely observing the situation in the hall, knew what was going on. She immediately contacted Sun Ran: "This should be an obsession of Xiaoqian's consciousness. It originated from folklore recognized in the Confucian world. In the legend, corpses
No matter whether you are alive or dead, your soul is dependent on it. If the bones are destroyed and the soul cannot enter the reincarnation, it will disappear."
Xiaoqian is now in a state of being submerged in reincarnation. In her subconscious, the bones are her only support. Without that thing, she will be doomed, so she has been lingering around Lanruo Temple, unable to leave.
If human consciousness is compared to an intelligent brain, then Xiaoqian's obsession is a self-destruction command, and destroying the bones is the triggering condition. Once the bones are destroyed, Xiaoqian's "intelligent brain" will self-destruct.
This kind of subconscious obsession is very difficult to deal with, and brute force will have serious side effects. If you want to solve it without side effects, there is only one way, and that is to fulfill Xiaoqian's wish to collect the bones.
"The bones must be recovered and kept with you at all times, so that Xiaoqian can feel at ease and maintain the stability of her consciousness." Chang'e knew that the situation was dangerous and her tone was a little urgent.
"I know." Sun Ran responded in his mind, and then said warmly to Xiaoqian: "In that case, just take me there."
But Xiaoqian shook her head: "My lord, it's too dangerous outside Lanruo Temple. Grandma must be ambushing you. Xiaoqian can't harm you."
Deep down in her heart, she had a deep grudge against the Taoist priest who deceived her heart, but in the end she still didn't want to see him step into dangerous territory. This feeling was so complicated that even Xiaoqian herself couldn't figure out what was going on.
Oh, you actually have such noble sentiments?
Sun Ran felt that he was touched. This matter must be done sooner rather than later, and there must be no accidents. So he insisted: "The little tree demon can't do anything to me, please take me there quickly."
Xiaoqian didn't speak, she just shook her head and shed tears, describing her expression as extremely sad. This appearance was seen by everyone in the hall, and most of the fear of Xiaoqian, the female ghost, disappeared in their hearts, and they all felt that this female ghost was actually a pitiful person.
Ke'er started to persuade: "Xiao Qian, go with my senior brother. He is very powerful. I will protect you here, so everything will be fine."
She had quietly released the poisonous gas from the gods into the entire hall, so there was no need to worry about anyone breaking in.
Mrs. Yang also advised: "Sister, since Taoist Priest Changqing has said so, just go ahead."
Xiaoqian also knew Sun Ran's abilities, and her expression was a little relaxed. Sun Ran also reached out to her at the right time. Xiaoqian finally agreed, and put her light and cold hand into Sun Ran's warm palm, and was pulled up.
Sun Ran saw that the clothes on Xiaoqian's body were thin, so he reached out and touched her lightly. A faint white light spread out and enveloped Xiaoqian's body, turning into a white dress similar to the original one.
This is a manifestation of the soul-fixing technique. It has a similar effect to the white clothes of the tree demon, but the technique is much more advanced. After putting it on, Xiaoqian suddenly felt warm all over her body, without any cold feeling at all.
"Let's go, take me to find where your bones are buried." Sun Ran said with a smile.
"Yes." Xiaoqian lowered her head to hide the shyness on her face. She was held by Sun Ran's hand and walked out of the hall silently, and soon left Lanruo Temple.
Outside the temple, the tree demon saw Sun Ran appearing, holding the female ghost she had worked so hard to cultivate. She was furious. She immediately cheered up and jumped out of the darkness. Standing dozens of meters away,
He pointed at Sun Ran and cursed: "You are a thief, you are greedy for women, and you actually stole my female ghost. Today I will make your souls fly to pieces!"
She was holding a head-sized pottery urn in her hand, which must contain Xiaoqian's remains.
Sun Ran knew the plan of this tree demon very well, and knew that this guy would probably be struck to death by lightning, so he was not angry. He pulled Xiaoqian closer, let her hide behind him, and said with a faint smile: "
Give me the clay pot and I will spare your life."
The dryad looked like he was going crazy, and threw the pottery pot into the sky. The cane in his right hand glowed with green light, and he hit the pot hard: "I hate your smile the most. I destroyed this thing. Look at you.
Why are you laughing!"
Just as the crutch was about to hit the pot, Xiaoqian let out a mournful scream, and her body began to become blurry.
Sun Ran looked at it with awe, and thought to himself that the obsession in his heart was indeed terrifying. It was obviously an unrelated thing, but after being given meaning by human consciousness, it turned out to be the key to life and death.
Since receiving the reminder from Zhinao, Sun Ran had already been prepared and had been using delayed casting techniques to secretly mobilize data.
As soon as the tree demon made a move, Sun Ran took action directly. He left no room for action and used a Taoist technique: Capturing the Dragon.
Capturing the dragon is a third-level Taoist skill. Go down to the netherworld, go up to the bright nine heavens, search the sea and cruise, and capture the real dragon for fun.
Dragon Capturing Hand and Trap Dragon Diagram are both a series of Taoist techniques created by Taishang Laojun, a saint from Taiqing. Among all Sun Ran's disciples, this guy is the most cunning and has the highest Taoist skills. His Taoist skills are,
Sun Ran likes to use it.
As soon as the Taoist technique came out, a pair of giant hands glowing with clear light appeared in the air in front of Sun Ran. They arrived at the tree demon's side in a swish. One hand grabbed the tree demon's crutch before the clay pot was shattered.
, with a casual squeeze, the crutch broke into pieces and turned directly into powder. This thing was the heart and blood of the tree demon, and she immediately screamed and spurted blood from her mouth.
The third level versus the second level is such a devastating effect. In Xiaoqian's eyes, the man in front of her felt extremely powerful, ten times more powerful than the most powerful hero image she could imagine.
She naturally had thoughts in her mind: This man has such a good temper, is good-looking, and has such great abilities. I really want to be with him forever, but he just lied to me with sweet words... It wasn't just sweet words, he also said,
That's what I originally thought. Yes, it's not that he doesn't want to, but he can't marry me. It must be because of his difficulties.
Alas, what should I do?
By this time, the little resentment in her heart had long since disappeared.
Little did Sun Ran know that the girl behind him was twisting and turning. One dragon-capturing hand grabbed the pottery urn, and the other dragon-capturing hand was not idle, grabbing the tree demon's body and trying to crush it into meat paste.
At this last moment, the tree demon laughed miserably, took out the magic ball, and threw it hard on the ground: "Traveler, I will make you crazy, go to hell!"
