Guardian of the Spirit

The bandaged Geng ghost slowly flew to the side of the crying mask, and then a ball of light that only elves and superpowers could see flew out of the bandaged Geng ghost's body and merged into the crying mask.

Losing his soul, Geng Gui was bandaged like a leaking balloon, his whole body collapsed, and the bandages scattered, covering an unknown object.

The lamp ghost was a little curious. It wanted to take off the bandage and look at the unknown object, but after thinking about it, forget it. It probably isn't a good thing.

"Storing a part of my soul in the puppet, it's no wonder that I can pass through the space channel and perform cross-space manipulation."

Jiang Yuan looked at the crying mask.

This crying mask has extremely high attainments in soul and spiritual power.

In general, there are two ways to manipulate a puppet.

The first method is to directly use mental power to control.

The controller uses one mind and two tasks, so that the body and the puppet have the same consciousness, and can launch attacks together. One elf can do two things.

However, there are two fatal disadvantages of using mental power to control. One of them is the distance limit. If it exceeds a certain range, the mental power will not be able to connect to the puppet, and the control of the puppet will be lost.

Another fatal shortcoming, if you meet an opponent who specializes in spiritual power, the opponent can forcibly cut off the spiritual power connection between the controller and the puppet, and the puppet is equivalent to giving it for nothing.

The second method of controlling puppets is to control them with the soul.

The controller cuts his own soul, places part of his soul in the puppet, and uses the soul to control the puppet. The puppet body can inherit part of its own combat power, and there will be no situation where the mental power is cut off and the distance is too far to lose control.

And there are also disadvantages. If the soul stored in the puppet is blown up, you will be seriously injured, and the game is basically over, because the injury on the soul is irreversible and extremely difficult to heal.

Crossing the space is equivalent to cutting off the connection of spiritual power. The way the crying mask controls the bandage Geng Gui is obviously using the soul.

The crying mask can divide one's soul, which is enough to show that it has extremely profound attainments in the soul, even Jiang Yuan is not as good as it.

Jiang Yuan couldn't split his soul into two.

As long as the soul is injured, it will be extremely painful. If the soul is cut, the pain is worse than death. People and elves who have not experienced it will not understand at all. It is simply that life is worse than death.

Moreover, cutting the soul is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will strangle your own consciousness, which is tantamount to death.

After the crying mask took back the soul, the aura increased a bit, which was already stronger than Mimi Q who had just entered the primary trainer stage.

"Dass."

The crying mask opened the door of the cabin and signaled Jiang Yuan to come in.

The interior of this cabin is very luxurious. There are bookshelves by the wall, filled with books, and various instruments and medicines are placed on the table. It is like a small laboratory.

The lamp ghost floated to the edge of the bookshelf, reached out to take a book, took a few glances, it could only understand a few words, and the other words had nothing to do with Martian.

The lamp ghost only knows some commonly used Chinese characters. As for the characters of the elf world, it is still learning.

"preservative?"

Jiang Yuan released his super power to scan the potion on the table, roughly analyzed the ingredients of the potion, and found that the potion in these bottles and jars was very similar to preservatives, like formalin.

If nothing else, these potions are used to make golems.

The crying mask didn't understand Jiang Yuan and the others. It pushed away the wooden boards on the ground, revealing a coffin carved from special wood.

Jiang Yuan and the lamp ghost looked over together. The coffin was filled with light green potion, soaking the corpse of an old man.

Seeing the old man's face, Jiang Yuan was surprised: "This is... Xiaozhou's grandfather?!"

Sure enough, he guessed right, the crying mask was related to Lu Xiaozhou.

The crying mask stared down at Grandpa Lu, without saying a word for a long time.

"A state of suspended animation?" Jiang Yuan stared at Grandpa Lu, frowning slightly.

There is an extremely weak soul breath in the body, Grandpa Lu is not dead yet.

Judging the life and death of a person, an elf, or a life depends on whether the consciousness in his soul has completely dissipated.

Even if the body is damaged and destroyed, as long as the consciousness in the soul still exists, it means that this person, this life has not completely died.

Therefore, some people will think about whether it is possible to achieve the legendary eternal life if the soul is kept and the body is not replaced.

Unfortunately, the soul will remember its own body. Once the original body dies or is destroyed, the soul will be like a fish out of water, and its consciousness will gradually dissipate until it turns into an unconscious soul and truly enters death.

The body cannot be replaced, but the soul can be preserved. As superpowers, the souls of people in the spirit world are stronger than those of ordinary people, so people in the spirit world have come up with a method to hang their lives.

First use various medicines to preserve the body of the dying person to maintain the vitality of the body, and then use superpowers to seal the soul and put the soul of the dying person into a deep sleep, so as to forcibly retain the soul that is about to disperse.

The body still exists, and the soul will not dissipate easily if it has a place to live. The consciousness is sealed, and the soul almost stops life activities, and all the losses are exhausted to the extreme, maintaining that little vitality, similar to frozen life.

Of course, this method is only suitable for superpowers with strong souls. Even if ordinary people are in a state of frozen life, they cannot maintain the vitality of their souls.

Freezing and deep sleep do not mean that time is still. No matter what you do, your soul will disperse little by little, and you will continue to die. Only those with strong souls will not die so quickly and can live longer.

The way this Grandpa Lu survived, if nothing else happened, was to put his soul into a deep sleep.

"Are you Grandpa Lu's elf?" Jiang Yuan asked.

The crying mask shook his head.

No.

The room was eerily quiet for a few seconds, and the crying mask reached out and patted the coffin lightly.

The coffin rang, and an extremely dim ball of light flew out of Grandpa Lu's body.

is the soul.

The crying mask released the spiritual power, and transformed into the body of Grandpa Lu in mid-air, and the ball of light flew into this spiritually transformed body.

Afterwards, Grandpa Lu slowly opened his eyes. It was obviously a body transformed by mental power, but the expression on his face could make very humane changes.

Grandpa Lu looked around at the strangers and strange elves in the wooden house. When he saw Jiang Yuan, Grandpa Lu paused for a moment, and then used a super power.

Jiang Yuan reacted instinctively, and the psychic power on his body soared, blocking Grandpa Lu's super power.

"This super power... is a bit familiar. If I remember correctly, you seem to be Xiaozhou's friend, named Jiang Yuan, right?"

Grandpa Lu is just a soul and cannot speak, but he can use the spiritual power of the crying mask to convey the meaning he wants to express into the hearts of Jiang Yuan and all the elves present.

"Yes." Jiang Yuan said.

"Hey--"

Seeing Jiang Yuan, Grandpa Lu heaved a long sigh as he recalled some sad past events.
