In the Marquis Mansion, eighteen Confucian practitioners formed a square formation according to the "four-dimensional formation" used by Gongsun Wen.
Zuo Chuxian, the dean of Haoran Academy, is in the formation.
Li Shabai stood outside the formation holding a scroll in his hand.
The two of them, one inside and one outside, direct the movement of Qi.
Taibu is at the entrance of the main courtyard, ready to respond in case of any unexpected events.
Liang Jixiong led the Canglong Guards to guard various places in the main courtyard to prevent anyone from disturbing the magic circle.
Zhong Shen led Wuwei Camp, Qingyi Pavilion, and Zhang Deng Yamen to garrison outside the mansion respectively.
Emperor Changle, Princess Yuyao, and Princess Fanghua were all watching in the courtyard.
The awe-inspiring energy circulates, and the magic circle is activated.
The qi machine shuttles through the magic circle, getting stronger and stronger.
After waiting for the Qi machine to be gathered to the limit, Zuo Chuxian carried all the Qi machine by himself and launched the innocent technique on Xu Zhiqiong first.
Xu Zhiqiong stood in the middle of the courtyard and was almost overwhelmed by the strong energy.
"Marquis Yun, remember my advice, don't have distracting thoughts in your mind, let alone the slightest resistance, your meridians will relax, your qi will slow down, your heart will be innocent, and your soul will naturally be innocent!"
Xu Zhiqiong followed Zuo Chuxian's instructions and completely emptied his mind and body, allowing the powerful aura of awe to impact his soul.
After ten breaths, Taibu shook his head and said: "The quality of the Qi machine is not good enough, and it cannot reach the third level."
Zuo Chuxian shouted loudly: "Everyone, hold your breath and concentrate, and send out all the energy!"
He was worried about someone sparing his strength.
In fact, all Confucian practitioners have already sent out all their energy, and they are almost reaching their limit.
Seeing that his Qi machine was still not good enough, Li Shabai gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Xu, hold on!"
Li Shabai rarely calls others brothers. This time, it was really a matter of life and death.
He threw a scroll in the air, and a vortex was drawn on the scroll. The vortex reversed, releasing a large area of awe-inspiring energy.
This was the energy he drew from when he fought against Gongsun Wen in Qingge City.
Some of these qi machines came from the magic circles created by Confucian scholars, some came from Gongsun Wen himself, and some came from Confucian star officials who took action secretly.
Other qi mechanisms are easy to talk about, but Xu Zhiqiong may not be able to withstand the qi mechanism of the Confucian star official.
Even if you can’t bear it, you have to take a gamble!
The Qi machine fell, and Xu Zhiqiong fell to the ground immediately, twisting his body and lying on the ground struggling in pain.
Zuo Chuxian glared and gnashed his teeth, and led the Confucian scholars in the circle to use this energy to use the innocent skills to the limit.
After twenty breaths, the Confucian scholars fell to the ground exhausted. Xu Zhiqiong lay on the ground, dying.
Li Shabai stepped forward and helped Xu Zhiqiong up. He watched for a long time, but did not notice the presence of fear.
Taibu also looked at it for a long time and said to Li Shabai: "It should be removed."
Liang Jixiong laughed loudly and said: "It will be good if we remove it, it will be good if we remove it!"
Emperor Changle smiled and said, "I knew my brother could survive this."
Li Shabai was not sure: "Princess Fanghua, let's remove the listening skills first, and then see how Brother Xu is doing."
The two helped Xu Zhiqiong into the bedroom, and after taking off his clothes, Li Shabai mixed some herbs and gently wiped away the chaotic appearance of the worldly world on Xu Zhiqiong's back.
He Fang immediately lifted his listening skills.
Everyone outside the door craned their necks to wait for the result.
Li Shabai walked out of the bedroom, remained silent for a long time, and shook his head.
Emperor Changle was surprised for a long time and asked cautiously: "Painter Li, what do you mean when you shake your head? Has the fear been removed?"
Li Shabai said solemnly: "It couldn't be removed."
Zuo Chuxian panted and said, "Is it because I don't have enough Qi, or am I using the wrong technique? I'll try again later!"
Li Shabai sighed: "But it has nothing to do with skills."
Liang Yuyao's voice trembled: "Ancestor, what is going on? Doesn't it mean that the quality and strength are enough?"
Liang Jixiong frowned and said: "Painter Li, I have lived to this age, so I should have some knowledge. I have also heard of the technique of terrifying breath and biting the soul. Using Confucian innocent techniques to eliminate evil is indeed the right solution.
Now that the energy is ready and the skills and strength are sufficient, why can't this terrifying aura be eliminated?"
Li Shabai said: "Elder Shengwei, do you know that people have three souls?"
Liang Jixiong nodded and said: "The soul of heaven, the soul of earth, the soul of man, there is no need to take the exam for this matter."
Li Shabai said: "The aura is not on the surface of the soul, but between the two souls. Unless the three souls are separated, the aura cannot be eliminated."
"Between two souls!" Liang Jixiong was extremely shocked, "Painter Li, you have to be careful when saying this. I have never heard of any technique that can be used between two souls."
Liang Jixiong's repeated doubts made Li Shabai a little annoyed, but now was not the time to get angry.
"Li's eyesight is poor. Maybe he saw it wrong. Elder Shengwei might as well go and see for himself."
Liang Jixiong walked into the bedroom and saw that Xu Zhiqiong was already asleep, but his face was paler than before.
After looking at it for a long time, I couldn't see any mystery. Canglong Badao didn't have the means to observe the soul.
Liang Jixiong was unwilling to give in and walked out of the bedroom and said, "Taibu, please go in and have a look."
Taibu went in and looked at it for a while, then went out and said, "What Master Li said is right, the innocent and innocent skills of the time have cleansed the wild soul, and there is still energy left.
But the terrifying breath is still there, which proves that it is hidden between the two souls, but it is a place that cannot be reached by techniques."
Liang Jixiong asked: "Don't say there are many, let me ask you what's the solution?"
Taibu pondered for a moment and said: "This terrifying aura is very active. It must have been frightened by Wuxie's skill. Now if I use the listening skill again, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress it. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this crazy life for a few days."
."
When Emperor Changle heard this, he immediately sat on the ground.
Liang Yuyao burst into tears: "Ancestor, what do you say we should do?"
Liang Jixiong's eyes were a little distracted, and for a moment, he seemed to have lost consciousness, leaving only confusion and confusion.
"Ancestor, please say something."
"You can't believe the words of outsiders," Liang Jixiong's eyes focused again, "They are all outsiders and will not think about Zhiqiong."
Taibu smiled bitterly and said, "Elder, why are you ridiculing me?"
"Why are you mocking you?" Liang Jixiong looked at Taibu, "Believe it or not, I'm going to kill you now?"
Taibu stood aside and said nothing.
Liang Jixiong was mentally disturbed.
"Yuyang, Yuyao, follow me, go to the palace, go to the various bookstores. There is everything in the royal bookstore. Let's search for days and nights. I don't believe we can't find a solution.
We can't believe what these outsiders say, Zhiqiong is one of ours, and they won't save him, so we can find a way ourselves!"
Emperor Changle stood up quickly: "Call all the scholars from all the pavilions, move out all the books, and find them for me!"
Liang Yuyao followed Liang Jixiong back to the palace. Lin Qianniang followed beside her and said: "Princess, take me with you. I will read faster and I will be able to rescue Xu Lang."
Liang Jixiong said to He Fang: "Afang, go and ask the Queen Mother. You must convince her no matter what."
He Fang nodded and said: "Ancestor, don't worry, from today on, I will live in Baoci Hall."
After everyone left, Li Shabai sighed and was speechless.
What’s the use of living in Bao Ci Hall?
The technique cannot enter between the two souls. If it does, Xu Zhiqiong's soul will fly away.
…
Taibu returned to the Yin and Yang Division, and Tao Huayuan came to greet him: "Master, what happened to that little thief?"
Taibu sighed and said, "Maybe I won't be able to hold on for a few more days."
Tong Qingqiu came to her side and said, "How can you say this? Aren't all those Confucian scholars gone?"
"The horror is between the two souls and cannot be dispelled by innocent techniques."
"Why can't the two souls be separated? It must be because those Confucian scholars are careless!" Tong Qingqiu returned to the house and packed up her backpack, "I'm going to treat Zhi Qiong. This thing should be similar to Gu magic. I'll prepare two of them first.
Try the side medicine."
Han Chen shook his head and said: "The horror breath is very different from the poisonous insect, and it cannot be cured by medicine or stone."
"So what if they're different, I'm sure you can find the prescription after some searching!" Tong Qingqiu put on her backpack and walked out the door.
Taibu said: "Qingqiu, please don't act recklessly. That crazy person is so weak that he can't withstand the strong medicine now. Moreover, the medicine and stone are indeed of little use."
"You don't understand pharmacology, but you are talking nonsense here!" Tong Qingqiu did not stop, "My brother can't die. My brother can survive even after death. How do you know!"
Han Chen quickly caught up: "Let's go together."
The Taibu looked at Tao Huayuan and said, "You can go too. It's fate. In the past two days, I'll look at that Kuang Sheng again and forget about him in the future."
"How could this be, how could..." Tao Huayuan felt dizzy and burst into tears.
…
Marquis Palace.
People come and go, wave after wave.
Tong Qingqiu was like crazy. She prepared dose after dose of powdered medicine and boiled bowl after bowl of decoction. She thought it was useful, but she didn't know if it was really useful. Seeing that Xu Zhiqiong was drowsy, she didn't dare to give the medicine easily.
.
Han Chen held the silver needle and didn't know how to start. He didn't know where to apply the needle to reach the soul.
Yuchilan cried once and sat silently in the courtyard.
Tao Huayuan was still crying, until her tears were bloodshot. Xia Hu handed her a bowl of porridge.
Xia Hu didn't cry, she never cried.
She said to Tao Huayuan: "Stop crying, eat something, save some strength, and do something serious."
Tao Huayuan said in a hoarse voice: "What other serious things can I do?"
"There are many ancient books in your Yin and Yang Division. Maybe one or two of them can help him."
"Ancient books..." Tao Huayuan said with a blank expression, "Master has read all those ancient books. If there is really a way to help that thief, Master will definitely tell him."
"Maybe he doesn't want to say it?" Xia Hu said with a smile, "He is not the wife of that thief."
"That's right, Master often hides his words!" Tao Huayuan stood up and said, "I will go to the Yin and Yang Division and bring all the ancient books here!"
Tong Qingqiu stood up and said, "I'll go with you. There are many medical books in the ancient books!"
Han Chen didn't hold out much hope. He had read almost all the medical books in the Yin and Yang Division.
But there is no other way now.
"That's all, let's go together. Maybe we can delve into some obscure medical prescriptions."
Yuchi Lan stood up and said, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Tong Qingqiu said: "Let's find some useful ancient books first and move them all here to avoid too much trouble. Miss Yuchi, just follow along and do your best!"
Tao Huayuan looked at Xia Hu and said, "You can go too!"
Xia Hu shook his head and said with a smile: "Someone has to guard him."
Tao Huayuan nodded and said, "Just take good care of him."
Everyone left in a hurry, and the Marquis Mansion became much deserted.
Xia Hu sat next to Xu Zhiqiong and gently touched his cheek.
Chang De then walked up to him and said, "Madam, go and have a rest. I'll just stay with the master."
Xia Hu turned around, looked at Chang Decai and said, "There is something I have always wanted to ask you: after death, how can we cultivate and grow and regenerate the soul?"
Chang Decai looked at Xu Zhiqiong, then at Xia Hu and said, "Madam, you can't say such depressing words. My master is blessed with great fortune and will definitely be able to turn disaster into good."
Xia Hu shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about him. Please tell me about this method of cultivating the immortal soul."
Chang Decai said: "To be honest, I don't know how to do this. I only know that if your cultivation level is high enough during your lifetime, if you can retain this cultivation level after your death, you can become an immortal soul."
"The cultivation level is high enough..." Xia Hu murmured, "The sixth level cultivation level is enough?"
"Madam, how do you say this..."
Xia Hu happens to have a sixth-grade cultivation level.
Xia Hu smiled and said: "I am a poor person, my parents died early, and I have never been loved by anyone in my life. It's not easy for someone to know how to love me. It's only been a little more than a year, but...
"
Xia Hu touched Xu Zhiqiong's face again: "He really loves me. I haven't had time to love him yet."
Chang Decai burst into tears: "Madam, this is impossible..."
Xia Hu didn't cry, she never cried, and she still had a smile on her face.
She leaned down, pressed her cheek against Xu Zhiqiong's face, and said softly: "My lord, don't be afraid, my wife will stay with you. I will stay with you as long as I live. Even if I don't survive, I will stay with you."
