soul repair

Guan Lingdao squatted down.He wanted to see the boy's face.

It was the first time he had seen him so close.A few years older, he looks to be in his early twenties, with his head bowed and his slender eyes half-closed.The mud on his face made him look a bit downcast, he raised his chin slightly, and said softly: "Master, I was wrong, I don't want to die earlier than you."

Guan Lingdao looked at him in silence.How long have you been locked up here, crazy, or not?

Suddenly, the expression on his face became ferocious, he stood up and yanked fiercely, the shackles on his body clanged and rattled, but there was no movement.Guan Lingdao quickly flew a foot away, and saw the man's soul rising from his body, like charred charcoal, faintly squeezed out.

That soul had already been refined into seven or eight parts of an evil spirit, ugly and full of malice, Guan Lingdao was so far away from him, and because of that bottomless hatred, his whole body was chilled.

The soul struggled to leave the body, but it seemed to be suppressed by something, twisting in pain.Lingshui Lake was only half a zhang away from him, and the soul stepped into the lake with difficulty, like a thirsty beast, half of its body rolled in the water.

After a while, the dark and ugly thing calmed down a bit.

Guan Lingdao looked down, and suddenly felt a pause in his heart. Lingshui Lake has the effect of repairing the soul, and the reason why he was locked here was not to let him die.

A person is imprisoned here, the soul is forcibly suppressed, and he is not allowed to live or die. What exactly is he trying to do?

Suddenly, he heard the sound of a chair moving.

He was startled for a moment, and immediately realized that it was not the voice in the painting, but someone in the room outside the painting.Guan Lingdao glanced at the soul submerged in the water again, and said softly, "Just wait, your master is coming to save you."

No amount of suffering can disappear the moment he sees the master. As long as he sees the master, he will go there happily.

As soon as his consciousness sank, his body quickly flew up the tunnel, pulled back, and left the ancient painting.Guan Lingdao opened his eyes, the quaint furniture was quietly arranged in the summer, peaceful and peaceful, the trees outside the window were shady, the birds and insects were chirping, and his body was warmed up.

The person who pulled up a chair and sat down in front of him turned out to be Yun Luozhen.

He sat a little casually, holding a teacup in his hand, watching Guan Lingdao's every move.Guan Lingdao came back to his senses from the scene in the cave, never expecting him to appear now, and asked unexpectedly, "Mr. Yun?"

"What do you see?"

Guan Lingdao remained silent.How much Yunluo really knows and how much he can tell him, now he can't figure out the depth.

Yun Luozhen slowly turned the teacup in his hand: "I once followed your brother into ancient paintings."

This was the first time he talked about Ren Guanling, and Guan Lingdao was even more surprised. He knew that Ren Guanling and Yun Luo really had an extraordinary relationship, but how did it come to this point?

"I've been to all the tunnels under the eight doors, empty, nothing."

Guan Lingdao suddenly raised his head.What?

Yun Luozhen looked at his face, and slowly said: "I have followed Hua Luochun's ancient painting... I still can't see anything."

Guan Lingdao was expressionless.

"Your brother saw a disciple who had just entered the mountain and got the inheritance of the former Shangqing. But I didn't see anything."

There was a deep meaning in Yun Luozhen's words, and Guan Lingdao heard it instantly.What does this mean, why his brother can see it, and I can see it, but Yun Luozhen can't?

"Do you think why?"

Guan Lingdao made a hoarse voice: "The ancient painting recognizes the soul, which can touch the soul's experience in the previous life. It seems to outsiders that it is an empty space, and only those with origins can see the past."

"Your brother also guessed so at the time."

Speaking of Ren Guanling, the two of them remained silent for a long time. Guan Lingdao asked, "Young Master Yun and my brother have a very close relationship."

Yun Luozhen smiled: "The relationship between him and me is a long story."

There was silence again at this point, Guan Lingdao lowered his head and said, "Recently, I often think that when I was nine years old, my brother rescued me from escape. At that time, he clearly pushed me off the cliff, but he was killed. I haven't seen you for many years." , His body was left in the bottomless pit, but his soul did not die, and then he went to the Shangqing Palace. What happened in the middle?"

Yun Luozhen's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't speak.

"My brother hid a small Langhao pen in Shi Knocking Sound, which has been used by Shi Knocking Sound for many years. I asked him how he got it, and he said that it was a gift from a young master in the family back then. I haven't figured out who this young master is until I saw Young Master Yun talking to Shi Knocking, and I finally figured out that the reason why Shi Knocking came to Shangqing Palace was not accidental."

"what is that?"

Guan Lingdao looked at him and said, "Stone knocking, it must be from the Yun family."

Yun Luozhen frowned slowly, lowered her eyes and said nothing. After a long time, she sighed inaudibly: "Knocking is my nanny's child."

Guan Lingdao's heart trembled slightly.

Yun Luozhen lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and smiled: "Have you ever heard that a scandal happened to the Yun family many years ago?"

"No." Every family has some shameful things, who is more noble than whom?

Yun Luozhen said: "After the head of the Yun family married his wife, he married a new lover outside. The original wife went back to her mother's house with a big belly in anger, but her family said she didn't know what to do, so they kicked her out. She had nowhere to go , met a female casual cultivator in the deep mountains and took her in. Unexpectedly, when the two got along, they fell in love secretly and wanted to worship and marry. Swaddled baby boy brought back."

Guan Lingdao had a look of disbelief on his face.

Yun Luozhen took a deep breath: "The original wife almost went crazy. She was locked in the room by the owner and was not allowed to go out. She just cried every day. At that time, the friend who the owner was waiting outside was also pregnant, so she took it home and took over the mistress Later, after the full moon, the head of the family took the baby boy away. The original wife couldn’t ask for a son, she didn’t eat or sleep all day long, and hanged herself in her room one night. The baby boy...was raised by a nanny since he was a child.”

Guan Lingdao kept his mouth shut, not daring to say a word.

It turned out to be so...

Thinking about it, Yunluozhen was better than the unmotivated Yunluoshan in every way, so how could the later mistress rest assured that Yunluozhen's mother's death was inseparable from her back then, how could he let Yunluozhen grow up peacefully? big?

"When I was young, thanks to the care of my nanny, she never let me leave her side for half a step. But once the nanny died, I was alone."

After he became sensible, the people around him pointed at his back, and the mistress framed him several times, which made the head of the family hate him deeply. Yunluo was really disheartened, and thought of death at a young age.One day, he followed a few disciples to Guixu Shenzong to compete in swords. Looking at the beautiful cliffs, he suddenly thought: jumping from here will be a one-and-done effort, right?

When the body was tilted and shaky, a wolf fell from nowhere and landed at his feet.

This is also God's will. From then on, he has an extra pair of eyes around him.This wolf-haired little pen seemed to know everything, Yun Luo was really ecstatic, the two depended on each other, discussed everything big and small together, and survived with such difficulty.

"Your brother has always thought of you. Later, when my wings became more and more mature, he started to look for you. He thought that the Shangqing Palace was the home of your brother. So I was not good to Brother Knocking Sound, and I was in a dilemma. I told them that it would be better to seek refuge in the Shangqing Palace than to be angry at the Yun Family. Yunsheng loved his younger brother and nodded in agreement. They went out secretly at night, and I took the wolf hair down. The pen was given to him."

"My brother has been with Knock for so many years, but he still doesn't know?"

Yun Luozhen shook his head: "There's no need to tell him."

"If Shi Knocking Sheng didn't go to Shangqing Palace, brother Yunsheng would not die. That's why my brother felt that he was responsible for brother Yunsheng's death."

Yun Luozhen was silent for a while after hearing this, and said: "Now that you understand the whole story, can you tell me what you saw in Yan Wuhua?"

Guan Lingdao nodded, and withdrew his thoughts: "I saw the Lord of the Nine Palaces in one of the caves. He was chained up, and even his soul was suppressed so that he could not leave the body."

Speaking of this, I can't help but feel a little cold. Soul cultivation is not as good as Taoism. Only the soul can come in and out freely. Now there is a way to trap the soul in the body. Isn't the soul cultivation at the mercy of others?

Yun Luozhen's face changed slightly when he heard this: "Arrest him, for refining the soul?"

Guan Lingdao nodded: "Refining the soul again and again. The Lord of the Ninth Palace doesn't want to die, and when he can't bear it, he struggles to immerse his soul in the Lingshui Lake. The lake water has a little healing power, so the soul can feel better."

Yun Luo really frowned.

Guan Lingdao asked again: "I've wanted to ask you a long time ago, my brother was clearly killed by someone back then, why did his soul hide in the pen again?"

Yun Luozhen hesitated for a moment: "I don't know about this."

"My brother didn't tell you?"

"No, your brother doesn't know either."

Guan Lingdao was startled: "What do you mean?"

"It's interesting." Yun Luozhen half-opened his eyes, "Your brother once said that he pushed you off the cliff and fought with the pursuers. He was defeated by himself and died with several swords piercing his heart. At that time, he remembered After being dead for a long time, my soul has already begun to dissipate, I don’t want to wake up suddenly and find myself lying in a deep and cold cave.”

"A bottomless pit."

"That's right." Yun Luozhen lowered his voice, "It's a little strange here. His soul is in his body. His cultivation base was not high at that time, and he shouldn't leave his body without green smoke, but for some reason, A small stream of soul energy was leading his soul to fly out, and he didn't want him to stay inside. Your brother just felt strange at that time, and flew away from the bottomless pit. The invisible soul energy led several miles away, but Suddenly disappeared again, your brother searched around, and finally found the Horcrux pen he threw out earlier."

Guan Lingdao fell silent.What does this mean, what kind of soul energy is that?

"This soul energy is for his own good." Guan Lingdao thought to himself, "If my brother's soul hadn't left, I'm afraid the guards would have discovered it."

Once it was discovered that he was still alive, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Your brother said that later, when he vaguely remembered, he seemed to dream of something in the bottomless pit. It seemed extremely important, but he couldn't remember it anyway."

Guan Lingdao's expression changed: "That's why he insisted on going to the bottomless pit to find out!"

The bottomless pit is indeed that place again.

What the hell is going on inside!

"I tested it once. The Guixu Shenzong set up a formation in that place. As long as someone goes in, Liaochen will arrive within a few hours."

"Do you really want to go?"

"Do you have a solution?"

Yun Luozhen nodded slowly.

Guan Lingdao felt his heart beating faster, and asked suppressingly, "What can I do?"

Yun Luozhen put down the teacup in his hand: "Xiao Xiao is now near the Shangqing Palace, and the bottomless cave is guarded by Chen alone. She has the Fallen Demon Sword that Xiao Xiao left her in her hand, even Patriarch Hua may not be able to resist her. But if you can get her away—”

"The bottomless pit is very important, how could she leave?"

Yun Luozhen lowered his head, frowned and said, "I used to have a vague guess. It wasn't until Mu Yi sneaked into the Guixu Sect that I began to think that maybe I really have a way..."

~

I like the way the sun is setting, hanging upside down on the pen stand, watching him hang his head down and read.

I like that he holds himself in the palm of his hand, his temple hair is drooping, and he concentrates on writing.

I like that he cleaned up the ink stains on the wolf hairs one by one, carefully tidied them up, and hung them in a cool place to let the cool wind dry them.

This is the most peaceful moment in your life.
