I listened quietly and realized something in my heart: "The shortcoming in Tai Xuzi's hands you mentioned is the god tablet in the main hall of the main peak?"
Dao Huo'er responded: "Yes, after thousands of years of trust, the God Tablet is equivalent to my physical body, and the two have long been integrated into one."
"If there is an empty spirit body, no longer a physical body, and cannot be sensed, like an ordinary person's three souls and seven souls leaving the body, they will also die."
I nodded suddenly, and couldn't help but think of the turtle spirit on the top of the hump mountain during my trip to the Miao border.
Its physical body is the mountain that forms Dragon Turtle’s Moon-Watching Cave.
It seems that the physical body and the spiritual body are separated, but in fact they are cleverly integrated.
It is the peculiarity of the spirit body’s survival in the world, which has advantages and disadvantages.
Dao Huo'er continued: "If I want to leave, I must take my body with me."
"But the key to the secret method has been passed down orally from generation to generation by the masters of the Taoist sect. I have tried many times, but all ended in failure."
I asked curiously: "Can't it be destroyed by force?"
Dao Huo'er replied: "Yes, but I don't dare to do that."
"When my body is destroyed, I will disappear into thin air."
"To put it simply, my physical body is extremely fragile and cannot withstand external bombardment."
"After all, it's just an ordinary wooden sign."
"How hard can you expect something made of wood to be?"
Dao Huo'er didn't mean to hide anything from me, and said bluntly: "Because of this weakness, when I was at the peak of the 18th level of martial arts, I had a chance to take action."
"After one time, the wooden sign cannot withstand the backlash and will completely collapse."
"If it's broken, I might be able to borrow a foreign object to store the spirit body. I can cultivate it and never return it once it's gone."
"I am the Taoist sect's absolute trump card that is unknown to outsiders. No one will be willing to use me until the day comes when life and death or catastrophe occurs."
"Because of this, I have been able to live happily for three hundred years. If no accidents had happened, I could have lived even longer."
I thought thoughtfully: "You tell me such an important secret because you want me to help you escape and regain your physical body and divine status?"
Dao Huo'er flew to the wooden door of the dormitory and grabbed the candy I had hidden in the bag in the single room with her little hand.
She turned around and squatted under the eaves, rummaged for chocolate-flavored candies and said, "You definitely didn't go to the Sixth Peak Luck Center to attack the old locust tree."
"He hangs out in the commissary. You've seen him many times. You probably figured out his true identity a long time ago."
"After seeing through it, I didn't touch him in the slightest. Instead, I went to Old Man Huai's lair to expose his traces."
"Oh, if I'm not wrong, your plan lies in the Taoist Earth Soul.
"Yes or no?"
With a smile on her lips, she winked playfully and said, "I know where the earth spirit is."
Dao Huo'er's words made me breathe quickly, and I stood there excited.
"You owe me a favor, that's what you said yourself. Don't worry about it, let's put it aside for now." The little girl peeled the candy with a smile and said: "You are no longer a handyman disciple, do you really treat me as a friend?"
I'm not sure about the treatment."
"Since we doubt each other, it's better to cooperate honestly."
"I'll tell you the specific location of the Earth Soul, and you can help me untie the shackles on my body."
"Everyone gets what they need. After we leave the Taoist gate, we can talk about human relations."
I strode forward, subconsciously licked my dry lips, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will break my promise?"
Dao Huo'er motioned me to squat down, patted the newly peeled candy wrapper on my face, and said with a serious expression: "I'm not afraid."
"Your life is in my hands."
"Lying to me will only lead to death. I will bury you in the medicine field where we first met."
"We will perish together."
She spoke softly and smiled brightly.
But I saw determination in her smart eyes.
That was the determination to take a gamble at all costs.
