soul repair

"Shall I take you back?" Standing at the fork in front of the town, Ji Qingyan asked.

Guan Lingdao carried a small black jar on his back, and his figure seemed to be thin when the wind blows: "I'll hire a carriage to go back, and no one will check me. Master has something else to do, let's go north earlier."

"Be careful on the road." Ji Qingyan looked at him silently for a moment, and then said, "If Master knows that you are sad for him, I'm afraid you will feel sad too."

Guan Lingdao forced a smile: "What Master said is true. Master, my father sent a letter before his death that he would travel around the world, just because he was afraid that I would feel uncomfortable. Master, don't worry."

Ji Qingyan took another look at the black jar on his back: "He must be happy that you brought Master back to Shangqing Palace."

In fact, the dead souls of people in the world still exist, and they will come back to see them from time to time. These are all words of comfort for myself.When people die and their souls are scattered, they will not go to the gate of the ghosts and the underworld, but they just turn into the air between heaven and earth.

The teacher's father's soul has already dissipated, and he is ignorant, so what is there to be happy or unhappy?

Guan Lingdao's eye circles were red again: "Although Master left the Shangqing Palace in the early years, I still miss him in my heart, otherwise I wouldn't mention Shangqing from time to time. I just want to scatter his ashes on Shangqing. Soul reunion, maybe we can get closer to Shangqing."

Ji Qingyan buried his head on his chest and let it go after a long time: "Be careful, I'm going."

The two parted ways, Ji Qingyan went north to Cen's house from here, Guan Lingdao hired a carriage, and went south quietly towards Shangqing Palace.

Nothing to do during the day, just sitting in a daze in the bumpy carriage, touching the black jar from time to time to think about things.He lived with his teacher and father for ten years. When he was a child, he didn't notice many things, and he didn't understand many words. Now that he thinks about it carefully, it is obvious. He only needs to wait until he grows up to understand.After walking for a few days, I had already returned to the boundary of Jiutian Mountain before I knew it. The coachman driving the car said: "My lord, this place is far away from my home, and the farthest can be delivered here. My lord, please hire another car."

Guan Lingdao got off the car and let him go.

Recently, there were not even half of the Guixu Shenzong people near Baihua City, and there was no disturbance. Guan Lingdao pondered for a while, remembering the bottomless pit that rescued Ren Guanling back then.The Bottomless Cave is only a few tens of miles away from here. It is a bottomless cave. There are not many rumors about it. However, Ren Guanling was later captured by Guixu Shenzong, but it was because of an adventure that he came here.

What is in this bottomless pit, Ren Guanling wants to come back regardless of the danger to find out?

Why did Taoist Yan Wu and Taoist Xiao Xiao lock his body here?

These are all questions that have been in his mind for a long time, and he can't figure it out, but he has never dared to act rashly.Ren Guanling entered the bottomless pit at that time, and a few hours later, Li Chen came here with the disciples of Guixu Shenzong. Why did she come so fast? Could it be because of a tacit understanding?

not.

Taoist Xiao Xiao is now in the Southern Dynasty, and the Guixu Shenzong is empty, and he will not come again when the opportunity is not lost, he has to explore the bottomless pit no matter what.

The night wind was majestic, the branches swayed as if being swept by a bobcat, and a shadow dressed in black passed by at a high speed.The place here is remote, the mountains and forests are ancient, few people come, the ancient trees are towering, the luxuriant branches and leaves cover the moon, it is extremely dark.Since Ren Guanling was arrested, even fewer people came to hunt.

Guan Lingdao found the hole where Ren Guanling had been buried with ease, pushed aside the weeds covering it, and carefully fell down.The soil was wet, and the hole was a little slippery. Guan Lingdao let his body fall slowly, secretly calculating the time in his heart.

For a long time, he was covered in mud and fell into the gurgling water.

There is an underground stream in the bottomless cave. He has seen it before, but now it has reached the bottom of the cave.A faint light shone from the stone wall, illuminating the indistinct winding road ahead, Guan Lingdao looked up with a cold face without saying a word, ran a few steps quickly at the bottom of the cave, and suddenly jumped onto the road The secret passage that sent him down.

He climbed up silently.

He just wanted to find out whether Guixu Shenzong had tampered with this place.

It takes time to go up and down, but fortunately, his body is small now, the cave is much looser, easier to stretch than before, and much faster.After an unknown amount of time, he returned to the ground out of breath.

The sky is bright, and it has already passed the early morning, and it takes several hours to go up and down.Guan Lingdao took off his muddy black coat, took a shower in a hurry, and left here without stopping.

Half an hour later, a frail and handsome young man walked into an inn in Baihua City, and asked for an inconspicuous room to stay.

He already looked sicker and weaker than ordinary mortals, and no one could notice his appearance.

He closed the door tightly, closed his eyes, and his soul flew out lightly.

Many of the classics on soul cultivation that he read in the ancient paintings of Hua Luochun, he can travel with his soul without burning incense.This spell is based entirely on the innate aptitude and understanding of the soul cultivator. Now he has only scratched the surface, but he has been freed from many constraints.

Floating for dozens of miles non-stop, he stopped on the branches and leaves of an ancient tree next to the bottomless pit just now, and guarded it motionless.

After a while, a gust of wind swayed, shaking the branches and leaves.

Guan Lingdao's heartbeat quickened, and he immediately raised his head. Sure enough, he saw a dozen or so people wearing gray Taoist robes flying in the distance. The leading woman had a little cinnabar on her forehead and her skin was like snow. It's so beautiful.

Liaochen stopped under the tree, he couldn't see the soul hidden in the leaves, he just looked down at the bottomless pit.

The grass at the entrance of the cave was pushed aside, and the footprints on the surrounding mud were fresh. It could be seen that someone had just entered and exited.

She jumped down lightly.

Guan Lingdao only felt a heavy heart.

In less than eight hours, Liaochen still rushed over. There must be some kind of formation near the bottomless pit. Once someone enters, Guixu Shenzong will know.Fortunately, he didn't stay at the bottom of the cave for a long time today, otherwise Chen would definitely be trapped inside and couldn't escape.

When he came to rescue Ren Guanling, there was no formation here, so it could be seen that it was set up after Ren Guanling escaped.At the beginning, the bottomless pit was under the management of Red Sandalwood Palace, but after Yan Wu died, Taoist Xiao Xiao took over, it was fine, but why did he expect Ren Guan Ling to return to the bottomless pit?

What's going on here, Yan Wubu doesn't know, but Taoist Xiao Xiao knows?

The relationship between Red Sandalwood Palace and Guixu Shenzong, one is in the open and the other is in the dark, it can be seen that Yan Wu himself is Taoist Xiao Xiao's puppet.Think boldly, Taoist Xiao Xiao didn’t know why he needed to retreat, so the matter of capturing soul cultivators fell on Red Sandalwood Palace. Yan Wuben captured Ren Guanling and Guan Lingdao 20 years ago, but accidentally let Guan Ling Dao escaped and Ren Guanling died. What should he do at this time?

If he is Yan Wu, what should we do at this time?

He was thinking wildly on the tree, when suddenly his mouth moved, and Liaochen flew out from the bottom of the cave with a frosty expression on his face: "There is no one at the bottom of the cave, Guan Lingdao is testing us."

Guan Lingdao's heart skipped a beat.This woman is really scary, but she can think of it with such a little effort.

At this moment, the branches and leaves around him were shaking, and the wind was blowing in his ears, and a long sword was inserted straight into the flourishing leaves.Guan Lingdao was dizzy and didn't dare to make any movement, so he could only fly around like branches around him, and landed unsteadily at Chen's feet.

The sword in Liao Chen's hand turned into a whisk and hung down, the forest was so quiet that only the sound of birdsong could be heard, and he said in a low voice, "Chasing."

The disciples scattered when they heard the words, but Liaochen headed in the direction of Baihua City. Guan Lingdao couldn't wait any longer, his body shook, and his soul quickly floated back into his body along the wind in the mountains.

It's getting late, Liaochen really wants to start searching the city, he's afraid he won't be able to hide.

He wrapped the black jar on his back, closed his eyes and concentrated on it, the soul-protecting sword flew up from the bed, slowly entered from his palm, and disappeared into his body.Recently, he has practiced the art of controlling the soul weapon. The soul guard sword is a soul weapon. It is originally transformed from the soul energy. It is indestructible when it appears, but it can disappear invisible when it merges with his soul energy.

Not long after, he had turned into a sick man carrying the ashes of his ancestors.

He left the room without making a sound and quietly left the inn.

Just arrived at the main street of Baihua City, after walking more than a dozen steps, I saw a group of Taoists approaching from the far side of the street. It is undoubtedly the dust!

It would be suspicious to turn around and go back at this time, so Guan Lingdao could only hide his cultivation and walked sickly in the direction of the group of people.He is thin and short now, Liao Chen is more than half a head taller than him, walking forward without looking sideways, not noticing his existence at all.He walked past with his head down, heaving a sigh of relief in his heart, but suddenly he heard the footsteps behind him stop, and Liao Chen said behind him, "Wait a minute."

Guan Lingdao's face changed slightly, and he stomped his feet secretly, wondering what to do now?It's okay to beat him down hard, but Liaochen alone may not be able to catch him without a fight, but since Liaochen came here under the order of Taoist Xiao Xiao, it is inevitable that he has a spiritual weapon and Taoist talisman in his hand. Pretend.

He turned around with a dazed look on his face, and half of his face was red: "Is this fairy, fairy sister calling me?"

He was originally thin and short, and at this moment he was about to cry, and he looked especially pitiful.Liao Chen stared at him for a moment: "What are you carrying?"

"My father, my father passed away. Before he died, he said that he wanted to see the scenery of Jiutian Mountain, so I took him to see it." He looked innocent and panicked.

Liaochen walked over silently, and with a flick of the whisk, the black jar had already fallen into her hands.

Guan Lingdao was afraid that she would do something to the black jar, but he didn't dare to show his feet, and forced himself to be calm, but said anxiously: "Sister fairy, this is my father, my father—"

The lid of the jar was lifted, and with a wave of the dust whisk, a few wisps of ashes flew up.

"Where do you live?" she asked.

Guan Lingdao couldn't think of a specific place for a while, and remembered the cultural customs of various places that Shi Knocking Sheng had told him before, and said casually: "The family of Hui County in the Southern Dynasty."

"You are weak and have traveled thousands of miles to come here alone?"

"I'm in a carriage."

"carriage?"

Liaochen wanted to ask again, but at this moment, a woman's soft cry of pain came over in due time.

At this time, who dared to make a sound, several people couldn't help turning their heads away, but saw a young woman kneeling by the street, she was very elegant, her hair was combed neatly and dignifiedly, and there was a wooden sign beside her.

【Family poor and selling oneself】

The wooden sign fell down, as if it had just been accidentally kicked by a passing person and fell on her body.

There are quite a lot of brothels and restaurants in Baihua City, and there are many wealthy customers. Most of the merchants going south and north will pass by here. From time to time, there are people kneeling on the street waiting for someone to buy them as servants or concubines. You can often see beautiful women.

Guan Lingdao just felt an indescribable feeling, and thought that the woman's voice was really timely. He peeked at Liaochen in front of him, but was surprised to see her frowning slightly, which seemed a bit inexplicable. upset.

It was only a short time, and Liao Chen's thoughts seemed to be no longer on him.

She put the black jar on the ground, dropped Guan Lingdao and said, "Let's go."

A group of people followed her closely, Guan Lingdao squatted on the ground and wiped the jar, his eyes glanced at the kneeling woman from the corner of her eyes.Not long after, a disciple of Guixu Shenzong turned around and came back, whispered a few words in front of the woman, took out a few spirit stones and dragged her away.
