Su Anran's words attracted the attention of Zhao Fei and others.
"Soul Doll."
"Life soul... doll?" All the monks were collectively confused.
They knew each of these words, but when they were put together, they didn't understand them at all.
"Have you ever heard of three souls and seven souls?" Su Anran looked enigmatic.
Three souls and seven souls?
What the hell?
They only know about Divine Soul and Gathering Soul. What are these three souls?
Zhao Fei and others looked at each other, then shook their heads.
"You should know that our Taiyi Valley has a very detailed understanding of the First Era. After all, my master once went deep into the ruins of a secret realm and learned many records about the pre-dating period."
Everyone nodded.
Why do Xuanjie monks know that it is the third era, and even know what happened in the first and second eras? Is it because some Xuanjie monks discovered some historical records about previous eras while exploring secret realms and caves?
material.
Nowadays, the relatively detailed historical records compiled by Xuanjie only cover the end of the First Era and the middle and late period of the Second Era.
Let’s not talk about the records from the early to the middle and late periods of the Second Era. After all, although they have not been compiled, some fragmentary information shows that this should be a chaotic period in which a hundred schools of thought contended and many forces rose. Even the three major dynasties
They couldn't suppress it. So in that era when war was really raging, it is natural that there is a lack of historical records.
The data before the end of the First Era can almost be said to be completely blank, which is why this period is called the dating period.
However, there are rumors in the Xuanjie that Huang Zi, the owner of Taiyi Valley, was lucky enough to enter a secret ruins and obtained some information about the pre-chronological period. Unfortunately, these information records were one-time content and were read by Huang Zi
It dissipates after that, so others cannot obtain relevant records from it.
But Su Anran knew exactly what was actually going on.
"According to my master, in the first era, there was a saying of three souls and seven souls." Su Anran said, "The so-called three souls are the three souls of heaven, earth and man, and the seven souls are Tianchong, Linghui, and Qi.
Strength, center, essence, and elite, among which Tianchong Linghui is the heavenly soul, Qi, force, the center is the human soul, and elite is the earth soul, which corresponds to the three souls of heaven, earth, and human beings."
Su Anran's expression looked very serious, and she even kept her eyes fixed on the group of players.
"What about the soul of life?" someone asked.
"The soul of life is the human soul." Su Anran said slowly, "According to what my master has learned, the two souls of heaven and earth are always outside, and only the soul of life lives in the body. Although the seven souls are also divided into heaven, earth and humans, they still belong to the human body.
The human soul is controlled by the soul of life, so it also lives in the physical body. It is said that the reason why we have seven emotions and six desires, such as joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, is because of the influence of the seven souls."
"Then what's going on with this soul doll?"
"You should know that the techniques practiced by monks in the First Era are different from ours, right?" Su Anran asked.
"Of course." The monks nodded.
Xuanjie has now been passed down to the third era, and many changes have been made in the practice methods. This is also to better prevent the depletion of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and let Xuanjie enter the end of the law again. Therefore, compared with that in the first era
In a situation where they only care about themselves and not about the world, the monks of the third era know better what recycling is and what the importance of renewable resources is.
"Our cultivation methods today are different from those in the First Era. That's because we don't practice the three souls and seven souls. We even gave up the two souls of heaven and earth and only cultivated the life soul, which is the divine soul." Su Anran continued to explain,
"Although we will condense the second soul, that is because we will combine the second soul with the original life to form a unique body of heaven and earth. This is also completely different from the cultivation methods in the First Era."
"I see."
"Then what's going on with this soul doll?" The monk who asked before spoke again without giving up.
"Even if you are a martial arts cultivator who does not practice the physical form, you actually integrate the life form into your body and lock the seven life wheels." Su Anran said again, "The seven life wheels, to put it bluntly, are seven.
Po. Combining the lifeblood with the Dharma to replace the physical body to form the Dao body is actually reformed from the cultivation methods of those monks with strong physical bodies in the First Era, but it is not so harmful to Tianhe."
"No. What's going on with this Soul Doll? Junior Brother Su, you've been talking for a long time and you still haven't gotten to the point."
"Yes, Junior Brother Su, what's going on with this Life Soul Doll?" Zhao Fei and others also woke up one after another.
Su Anran's veins appeared.
He looked faintly at the monk who had been pestering the "Soul Doll".
I finally managed to fool this group of people, but you are the only one who is sober when everyone else is drunk, right?
I haven't figured out how to make up a story yet. Why do you keep asking?
I hate impatient guys like you the most.
"Ahem, don't I want to explain to you the general concept of the Three Souls first, and then I can explain to you the specific origin of the Life Soul Doll." Su Anran coughed lightly, and then said, "The so-called Life Soul Doll,
In fact, it is a kind of secret puppet."
"Secret magic puppet?" Everyone was shocked.
Although the Mysterious World is now in the third era, the term "secret puppet" is not unfamiliar, because it is also a relatively common refining technique in the Mysterious World today. Its specific origin can be traced back to the rampage of the Demon Sect.
period, it is said
It was the Demon Sect that collected a refining technique from the Second Era from a secret realm. Later, the Demon Sect was disbanded, and this technique was captured by other sects in the Xuan Realm. After continuous improvement, it was formed.
Today there are many schools of refining techniques.
For example, the corpse puppets and corpse puppets in the North and South Corpse Refining Sects, the divine machine puppets unique to the Shenji Pavilion, the soldiers and generals finally condensed by the advanced soldiers, etc., are all variants of the secret puppets.
Of course, it is definitely inferior to the secret puppets made by the Demon Sect that harmed Tianhe back then, but at least it does not harm Tianhe and is a method of the right path. On the contrary, it is the Soul Soul Dao in the Seven Doors of the Left Dao.
, Lihun Palace still uses the secret puppet refining method of the Demon Sect back then, which is one of the reasons why they will be driven into the heretical ways.
"It turns out that the true origin of the secret puppet comes from the First Era." Zhao Fei said with some surprise.
It is said that the earliest origin of the Netherworld Ancient Battlefield can be traced back to the First Era, so the appearance of secret puppets from the First Era here is normal. Zhao Fei thinks this is normal, so he does not doubt the correctness of what Su Anran said.
"My master doesn't know exactly how the secret puppets of the First Era were refined, but he only said that the secret puppets of the First Era were different from today's secret puppets." Su Anran said again, "Now
The emphasis of the arcane puppets is on the word "puppet", but it is said that the arcane puppets of the First Era
The focus is on the word 'secret method'... The core of these secret method puppets is the soul of life, and the body is made of clay. As long as the soul of life is not destroyed, they can continue to resurrect. Even if the core of the soul of life is destroyed, as long as the soul of life is destroyed,
The soul is immortal, and after a period of time, their life soul can be condensed again, and then they will be resurrected."
"What?!" Zhao Fei and others looked horrified.
Although the arcane puppets in the mysterious world today have different styles due to their refining techniques, they essentially have a core and cannot be immortal.
For example, the Divine Machine Puppet in the Divine Machine Pavilion is actually a kind of magic weapon. As long as the operator is killed or the core of the Divine Machine Puppet is broken, the Divine Machine Puppet will stop functioning; similarly, whether it is a corpse puppet or a corpse puppet
, all have targeted purification methods.
Even the way of fighting evil in their Longhu Villa has a core of gathering evil.
But these secret magic puppets in front of us can actually become immortal, which is very scary.
"This is the method of the great masters of the First Era..." Jiang Xiaobai sighed, "No wonder the First Era will eventually break the Mysterious World into pieces."
"Do you think this is the scariest thing?"
"What?"
"Is there anything more terrifying?"
"Isn't it possible?"
All the monks exclaimed.
"The most terrifying thing about the Soul Dolls of the First Era is their learning ability." Su Anran said quietly, "According to classic records, their memories will not be erased after reincarnation, so they can continue to learn.
Growth, even without fear of death..."
Zhao Fei and others looked at Shi Nan, and the eyes of Yu Xiaoshuang and others all changed.
…
While Su Anran was "promoting science" to Zhao Fei and others, the player group on the other side was also undergoing brainwashing by Shi Nan.
"What is authenticity?" Shi Nan pointed at Su Anran and others with an enthusiastic look, and then said, "This is authenticity!"
"To put it bluntly, the virtual games we played in the past are no different from the stand-alone games and online games we played a long time ago. Those NPCs are still very rigid and only follow the basic logic AI built in the game to answer questions.
, so we entered into a misunderstanding from the beginning, thinking that these NPCs would definitely be waiting for us to come over and take over the task.”
"But it's not!"
"These NPCs have their own set of action logic. You Pinpin, after killing Xianyu, when those NPCs saw Xianyu resurrected, they did not take action again, but gathered together. This seems to be
Xianyu showed no hostility, so these were not triggered.
The action logic of the NPCs. But you have to look at it carefully!... The expressions of those NPCs changed and they looked quite surprised. They seemed to be shocked by the resurrection of Xianyu, so they all became cautious, and we were also affected.
The other party has been included in the alert target."
All the players turned to look at Su Anran and others, and saw that the group of monks gathered together looked very solemn at this moment, but their eyes did appear to be quite vigilant, obviously wary of them players.
.
"What is that NPC like Su doing?"
"Su Anran," Shi Nan said, "should be the protagonist NPC of our closed beta this time. His sect Taiyigu, judging from the opening promotional animation, must be a very powerful sect in this game.
So they must know a lot of secrets. Now they are gathering around Su Anran to see what Su Anran is explaining. I guess this should be a part of the game."
"What part?"
"Give us a reasonable identity." Shen Yuebai took over, "When Xianyu was resurrected just now, those NPCs were very vigilant, obviously they didn't know our origins. But our main mission is to join Su Anran and the others. team and act with them, so we must have a reasonable identity. Just like in previous games, we were said to be the chosen ones, in "Xuan Jie" we also definitely need a reasonable identity. An identity that will not arouse the suspicion of these NPCs."
"Bai Shen is right." Shi Nan nodded, "Our main mission now is to 'win people's trust', which requires us to gain Su Anran's trust and join Su Anran's team... The point here is definitely not Gain trust and join Su Anran's team. Considering the authenticity of this game, we may have a test next."
"So that's it." All the players suddenly realized, "As expected of the chairman, he analyzed it all at once."
"I'm not good at fighting, so I'm only good at this kind of evaluation and analysis, so if I need to fight later, I'll have to leave it to you." Shi Nan said, "But I chose a supporting profession. I should be able to add some status to you or something."
After hearing Shi Nan's words, all the players agreed.
"By the way, Leng Niao, just stand aside and take charge of the shooting. Don't get out." Shen Yuebai seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned to Leng Niao and said, "This game is very real, and there is no teaming mechanism. , so you’d better not take action. It doesn’t matter if you accidentally hurt us, but if you are regarded as an enemy by those NPCs, I’m afraid your account will be useless.”
Leng Niao looked innocent: "I didn't mean it."
"I know you didn't do it on purpose." Shen Yuebai said slowly, "If you did it on purpose, you wouldn't need those NPCs to take action. Your ten resurrections would have been gone."
The cold bird shivered.
Just at this moment, Su Anran and others suddenly let out a burst of exclamations.
Vaguely, Shi Nan, Yu Xiaoshuang and others seemed to hear words such as "It's impossible", "Is there anything more terrifying" and so on.
All the players were a little confused and didn't know what those NPCs said.
"Come, come, that Su Anran is here." Leng Niao whispered.
…
After Su Anran deceived Zhao Fei and others, he walked out of the array and walked towards the group of players.
He has paid attention to the situation of these players before.
Except for one Husky player, the level of other players is pretty normal.
Especially the one named "Lao Wang next door", Su Anran felt that if it was the other person, he should be able to keep up with his own pace.
"You...are the Soul Dolls, right?" Su Anran asked a group of players.
Does it turn out that our identity is that of a life soul doll?
But what is the Soul Doll?
Shi Nan's brain was running rapidly.
Yu Xiaoshuang and others also all set their sights on Shi Nan. After all, this was the hope of their whole village.
"Yes." Shi Nan also stepped out and nodded, "It seems that you know our identities."
"Of course." Su Anran breathed a sigh of relief, "Although we have lost a lot of information about the famous Soul Doll in the First Era due to the chronological period, based on some existing clues, we can still I can guess a thing or two.”
Shi Nan reached out and pushed up the glasses that were not on the bridge of his nose.
"That's it." Shi Nan felt relieved, "Yes, we are indeed soul puppets. But we have just been awakened, and there are many things that are unclear. Can you please explain it to us?"
"Of course." Su Anran chuckled.
Not bad, not bad. I like to communicate with smart people. He got into the mood so quickly and kept up with my rhythm. It seems that I don’t need to think of ways to lie anymore.
"I'm a little confused." At this moment, a monk next to Zhao Fei suddenly spoke.
Su Anran looked back and saw that the person speaking at this time was the monk who had been asking about the Soul Doll.
"What's wrong with you?" Shi Nan didn't know the specific situation.
He thought this was also unique to the game "Mysterious World".
After all, in his assessment, these NPCs are very "real" and are not just preset programs like previous virtual games, so it is normal for others to ask. Even in his opinion
, the NPC Su Anran has completed his preset mission, which is to bring a reasonable identity to these players, and the content of the assessment should be released by other NPCs.
Yes.
In Shi Nan's opinion, the second NPC who spoke at this time should be the NPC who wanted to test them.
"Sure enough, there are still tests." Shen Yuebai sighed.
"This is real enough." Chen Qi said, "If we suddenly met a group of strangers in the wild, we would definitely know more about them."
"I just don't know if this test will be too difficult."
"Probably not?"
"This should be a small test equivalent to the password for a joint. It can't be that difficult, right?"
A lot of players are speculating one after another.
Su Anran's heart was beating wildly, this was not in my plan.
Then I heard the monk speak again: "What are the three souls and seven souls that you monks in the First Era talked about?"
Su Anran was stunned.
All the players were also confused.
"We are playing a game, do we still need to know these things?" Yu Xiaoshuang's eyes were blank, "Which of you knows these things?"
"I only know that the three souls are the three souls of heaven, earth and man."
"What are the seven souls?"
"It's over. Are we going to fail the main mission again?"
All the players looked at Shi Nan and remained silent, and a group of people's hearts trembled in unison.
Even Su Anran was stunned.
He never thought that his pig teammate would ask such a difficult question.
He just made it up so casually about the three souls and seven souls.
If he had known this, why would he just say they were puppets?
"I heard that all your Soul Dolls will retain their memories, don't you know?" Zhao Fei and others also looked puzzled.
They didn't suspect that Su Anran was doing something small, but they obviously had some doubts about whether Su Anran had admitted her mistake.
"Three souls and seven souls."
At this moment, Shi Nan spoke: "This is Taoist rhetoric."
"Humans have a soul, which is where our spirit lies. There are three souls, one is the heavenly soul, the other is the earth soul, and the other is the soul of destiny. There are seven souls in the soul, which are the sky, the spirit, the wisdom, the energy, the strength, the center, the essence, and the hero.
Waiting for the Seven Spirits, also known as Corpse Dog, Fu Ya, Que Yin
, swallowing thieves, not poisonous, removing filth, smelly lungs, and turbid ghosts in the body... The two souls of heaven and earth are always outside, only the soul of life lives alone in the body. The seven souls are the branches and leaves of the soul of life, and the soul of life is the root of the seven souls
, as the saying goes, if there is no soul, there will be no life, and if there is no soul, there will be no prosperity..."
Seeing Shi Nan talking eloquently, all the players were shocked.
Leng Niao: The chairman is awesome.
Yu Xiaoshuang: I have one thing to say, it’s really awesome.
Shen Yuebai: In terms of knowledge reserve, I would like to call the chairman the strongest.
Chen Qi: Don’t call me Chairman. From now on, I’ll change my name to Mr. Know More.
Not only the players were shocked, but Zhao Fei and others were also shocked.
Listening to Shi Nan's explanation, it was more detailed than Su Anran's previous statement. Although it sounded like they didn't have any key content, this mysterious and mysterious concept that pointed directly at the root of the road gave them a sense of inscrutability. .
This time they really believed that the players in front of them were the "Soul Dolls" that Su Anran called them.
If it were not the "Fate Soul Doll" of the First Era, how could it be possible to know the "Three Souls and Seven Souls" that Su Anran said?
All of these statements are correct.
Of course, the one who is most confused and shocked is probably Su Anran.
He just talked about it casually before, and he couldn't even understand this thing himself.
