soul repair

According to Ji Qingyan's instructions, Guan Lingdao put the jar back on its original place with stones, squatted down and asked, "What's in this jar?"

"In it is the soul energy gathered by the soul cultivator. After killing a person, he did not absorb his soul immediately, but temporarily stored it here." Ji Qingyan seems to have seen it a lot, "With this Horcrux, it is not easy for others to find him .”

Indeed, after following around for a long time at night, they could only find this unremarkable black jar, but the real practitioners were still hiding in the dark, not sure where it was.

"The soul cultivator will come to fetch this jar sooner or later," Guan Lingdao said.

"Well, it's full, and I'll pick it up in two days." Ji Qingyan didn't say much, "Let's go."

In other words, this soul repair can be solved soon.

It was already early in the morning, and it was not easy for them to fly around the city in broad daylight. Ji Qingyan was walking along the deserted street, and Guan Lingdao was walking beside him, talking and laughing.

"Go back and apologize to Gu Zhui, and expose the matter." Halfway through the journey, he finally came up with this issue.

Guan Lingdao fell silent when he heard his name, and said after a while, "Yes."

In fact, Song Guzhui didn't say anything yesterday, but as Ji Qingyan's number one confidant, he told him not to embarrass Ji Qingyan.He is just a little more useful to Ji Qingyan, Ji Qingyan doesn't really like him, let alone hinder Song Guzhui's status, in fact, Deacon Song doesn't need to be nervous.

Guan Lingdao said angrily, "One or two want to control me."

All the way back to the inn, Shi Knocking and Song Guzhui had already got up and waited downstairs.Seeing Guan Lingdao and Ji Qingyan coming back from outside the inn together, Song Guzhui was overwhelmed with doubts and immediately shut up.Ji Qingyan didn't say much, he just said that he just went out to track down the whereabouts of the soul cultivator, and he didn't want to find a Horcrux.

Guan Lingdao only felt that Ji Qingyan pushed him behind, and secretly grabbed his belt, so he had to chase Song Gu: "I offended Deacon Song with my nonsense yesterday. Don't compare with me."

Song Guzhui only felt that there was something important that he missed, and he saw Ji Qingyan's attitude clearly. Even if he was unhappy at this time, he could only look at Ji Qingyan's face, and put on airs and said: "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it. .”

Guan Lingdao turned to look at Ji Qingyan: "I apologize."

"Go to sleep." Ji Qingyan let go of his hand, and gently pushed, "Come and find me when you wake up."

At this time, needless to say, Song Guzhui, who was thoughtful and thoughtful, even Shi Knocking, who usually only reads books, felt that something was wrong and glanced at each other.Song Guzhui didn't want their relationship to be so close. Thinking of what he had taught him yesterday, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and couldn't say anything.

Ji Qingyan took out two thin green straw papers and said: "I sprinkled a bamboo water on that jar, you don't need to do anything these few days, just track down the whereabouts of that soul cultivator."

A piece of bamboo water has a long-lasting fragrance and can be scattered several miles away. It is collected from bamboos on Shangqing Mountain, ground into powder and refined with spices.Ordinary people can't smell a bamboo water, only after holding a bamboo water in their mouth, they can smell it temporarily.

Song Guzhui and Shi Knocking Sheng respectively swallowed the straw paper, and after a while, a very faint fragrance of grass wafted from their nostrils.The two of them left the inn and wandered around on the street. In the early morning, the street gradually filled with people, stalls, shouting, people coming and going, and it became more and more lively.The two of them were quiet and neither of them said a word. Finally, the stone knocked and asked: "Deacon Song, tell me, how did the third palace master find that Horcrux?"

Horcruxes are so difficult to find, how could they happen to find them when they went out to look for them?

Seeing that he was silent, Shi Knock lowered his voice again: "In the past eight years, there have been less than ten people who listen to the soul in the Southern and Northern Dynasties."

"That's right, don't think too much, just pretend you don't know about this matter." Song Guzhuan was still angry when he thought of him, "The Third Palace is in charge of him, we only obey the orders of the Third Palace Master."

Guan Lingdao slept until the afternoon before getting up, but instead of looking for Ji Qingyan, he carefully took out a piece of paper folded in four from his breast pocket.This is what fell out of the book when I picked up Luo Hun Zhen Jue in the back mountain that day.For some unknown reason, Guan Lingdao didn't want to throw it away, and stuffed it into his pocket in a hurry.

It was a picture book of soul energy.

Soul Qi was originally transformed from spiritual energy or hostile energy between heaven and earth, but it is fundamentally different.Soul cultivators lead the external soul qi into the body from the sea of ​​qi. After the five senses are closed, they can still perceive the outside world. At this time, they can use foreign objects, such as green smoke, to attract the soul qi and go out.

Therefore, when most soul cultivators meditate, they always use fire to burn something around them. What they want is to let the green smoke lead their own soul energy to go out to search for other soul energy.

The soul energy does not enter the body from the spiritual root, it is not as pure as the spiritual energy absorbed by Daoxiu, but mixed with spiritual energy and hostile energy, so after a few years of practice, you have to find Daoxiu to clear it once.Guan Lingdao looked at it for a long time and didn't know how to unblock it, so he had to give up and just study how the soul energy entered the body from the illustrated book.

The things that shouldn't be seen became more and more wanting to see. He knew it was wrong, but Guan Lingdao couldn't stop like a Gu. Suddenly, someone knocked lightly on the door: "Are you awake?"

The sound made Guan Lingdao's heart skip a beat. He quickly folded the illustrated book and put it away, clearing his throat: "I'm awake."

The door opened in response, but Ji Qingyan didn't come in, standing at the door with his hands behind his back.

The sky is as black as splashed ink, and I don't know when it has fallen into the night.

"What were you looking at just now?" Ji Qingyan didn't look at him, walked in and stood by the window, still with his hands behind his back, asking very casually.

"I didn't see anything." Guan Lingdao wanted to change the subject, thinking about what happened to Song Guzhui during the day, he still held his breath, "I apologize to Song Guzhui, I did it all for you."

"Bullshit."

"Why are you talking nonsense? I apologized to him for you, and I haven't asked you for a reward yet."

Ji Qingyan stood by the window without moving, just pretending that he didn't hear his nonsense.Guan Lingdao didn't know what he was thinking, he pondered for a moment and then asked: "Third Palace Master, if there is a soul cultivator who doesn't kill people, would you still kill him?"

"I haven't met a soul cultivator who doesn't kill people." Ji Qingyan's voice was extremely cold, "Wrong, I haven't met a soul cultivator who doesn't kill innocent people."

Maybe some soul cultivators started out for revenge, but without exception, they more or less killed people who didn't deserve to die.

Guan Lingdao forced a smile: "That's really damn."

Ji Qingyan lowered his head, put his left hand into his bosom, and something came out between two fingers: "Open your mouth."

Guan Lingdao didn't know what he was going to do, he opened his mouth subconsciously, and suddenly threw something into his mouth.The taste is a little sour, but it is very sweet when you sip it, which makes people saliva.Guan Lingdao covered his mouth and said, "What is this?"

Ji Qingyan has resumed the posture with his hands behind his back just now, and his tone is extremely serious: "I refined the elixir."

Really or not, can pills be so delicious?

After getting along several times, why does he feel that Ji Qingyan is a little different from his superficial appearance?He was in charge of the punishment, but he broke the rules of the house and went to the back mountain to take a bath. He was even more frank when he told lies, and no one could tell the truth from the false.

This Ji Qingyan is pure and innocent on the surface, with a stern and selfless face, but he is actually a black belly inside, right?

Just as he was thinking wildly without knowing it, suddenly there was a scream in the distance, piercing the silent night, and the sound of a ghost came again!

Guan Lingdao's face changed slightly, and he looked out the window: "Here we come." Ji Qingyan had been waiting for this moment, and without any hesitation, he pulled him and flew out.

Halfway there, Guan Lingdao stopped in the air, shook his head and said, "Don't chase after me, the sound has disappeared again, I reckon it's still where it was yesterday."

"Go and have a look." Ji Qingyan frowned unexpectedly this time.

Sure enough, the place where the black jar was placed was still the same as yesterday, and even the stones piled outside had not been touched, obviously no one approached it.

"This jar has been here for two days, and no one has taken care of it. Could it be that the soul cultivator just wants to kill people and has no interest in cultivation?" Guan Lingdao found it hard to understand, so he shook the jar, "Didn't you say that it was already full?" gone?"

"When it is full, the previous soul energy will disperse by itself, and the new soul can still be sucked in."

"Isn't that a waste?" From the perspective of cultivation.

"Put it back." Ji Qingyan felt that something was wrong this time, "Tonight Gu Zhui and Knock are guarding the gate of Tiancheng Temple to see what they found."

"En." Guan Lingdao put the jar back in place, and piled a few stones on it.

The front of Tiancheng Temple was empty, a little cold, with gusts of overcast wind blowing, and pieces of paper with names written on them like Mingqian flew in the air.Guan Lingdao fell far away from Ji Qingyan, this is a dark corner, it is extremely difficult to be found, naturally it is also the place where Song Guzhui and Shi Knocking can hide.

"No one has ever been here." The sound of the stone knocking was extremely firm, "Our eyes have never left at all."

Song Guzhui was also puzzled: "The soul cultivator didn't come, how did he choose the name from the piece of paper to kill? We were worried about being seen by him, and we were too scared to approach him, why didn't we notice that he had already come? "

"Impossible, what kind of soul cultivation is higher than Deacon Song? Our soul cultivation in the Southern and Northern Dynasties has only been practiced for eight years. Even if we use invisibility, we should know." Feeling impossible, "It's not right, what went wrong? Does it mean that the soul cultivator didn't come tonight at all, and the person who died was an irrelevant person?"

This soul cultivator already knew of their existence, did he intentionally kill an innocent person to protest?

"Check it out tomorrow morning."

According to Ji Qingyan's instructions, no one was lazy the next morning, just after leaving the inn, he heard someone from the street saying: "Another person died, and it was one of them in front of Tiancheng Temple last night!"

coincidence?

At night, I went out to investigate again, but the situation was exactly the same as the night before, someone still died, and the soul after death also entered the black jar, and no one touched the jar, and no one came in front of Tiancheng Temple.

But when I asked again in the morning, the dead person was still one of the names in front of Tiancheng Temple.

Things seemed to have reached a dead end, and if this continued, this soul cultivator would never be caught.

No one went out that night, sitting in Ji Qingyan's room, feeling quite helpless.Song Guzhui helped Ji Qingyan catch the soul cultivator for many years, never encountered such a weird thing, he frowned tightly and did not speak.

What exactly does this soul cultivator want, what to do, and how can he achieve it?Did he really think that he was a merciful god and Buddha, asking for nothing but eradicating bad guys for Water City?

Neither of them had any idea what happened, Guan Lingdao and Shi Knocking were even less able to say anything.Guan Lingdao said in a low voice: "It takes more than two years of soul cultivation to forge a Horcrux. How did he practice it before? Could it be that he moved from somewhere else?"

Shi Knocked and said: "Then how do we check, do you check all the people who moved in the city of Water City two years ago?"

Ji Qingyan turned around suddenly, raised his eyes to look at the stone knocking sound: "Do you remember the names of the twelve soul cultivators who were caught six or seven years ago in Water City?"

Shi Knocking was suddenly named, a little flustered, and hurriedly said: "I remember. They are Jin Xiao, Wan Tianqi..." He said all the names smoothly.

"What about the family situation, brothers and sisters, parents and relatives?"

"Remember." Shi Knock took a sip of water, and said from a single person, "Jin Xiao is a businessman. He married a wife named Hu, who was as beautiful as a flower and had three sons. When he was caught, he was 32 years old..."

This said, it was more than half an hour.

Ji Qingyan didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, just listened quietly, and finally asked: "Do you remember where these people live?"

The stone knocking sound was a little embarrassed by several people, nodded and said: "I remember, I love to read classics about soul cultivators. Later, some soul cultivators' families couldn't bear to move, so I asked Tsing Yi to check it out and re- It's been cataloged."
