I live in Beihai Jun Nanhai [Rebirth]

"That's right!" Ulanda slapped his thigh, leaned forward, pointed his fingers at the table and analyzed, "Since they didn't perform the soul-sealing technique on these old people to turn them into minions, then maybe they did it It's just the soul-sealing technique itself, that is... the result of the soul-sealing technique."

Ulanda hissed and smacked his lips, as if he was suffering from being unable to express himself clearly, he frowned and said, "Can you understand me when I say that?"

Ji Qinglin blinked half-understood, Xie Wuyi, who had been listening quietly at the side, already understood what Ulanda meant, and said, "You mean, their purpose is to split the soul essence with the technique of sealing the soul. "

Ji Qinglin looked at Xie Wuyi suspiciously, but his mind quickly recalled Chi Ruogu's previous explanation of the art of sealing the soul.

Chi Ruogu said that the result of the soul-sealing technique is that the soul element splits as the body rots, and the soul element is originally composed of aura, once it is split, it will disperse into aura again and return to the world.

While thinking, Ji Qinglin murmured: "They use the technique of sealing the soul to split the soul essence, disperse it into aura and return to the world, what good will this do for them?"

Xie Wuyi's complexion became more solemn, and his voice sank a bit: "I don't know what benefits it will bring to them, but this move will do harm to the reproduction of the world, but will not benefit at all."

"Reproduction in the world?" Ji Qinglin never expected such an influence, and had a vague premonition.

Xie Wuyi nodded slowly, and said, "If no one dies in the world, no one will be born again."

Ji Qinglin knew about the reincarnation of the soul before, but he had never thought about the causal relationship between death and rebirth. Now that he heard Jie Wuyi mentioning it, he calmed down and took a good look at the sequence between the two. order.

The prerequisite for the birth of a newborn is to have a soul element, but if no one has died before, there will be no soul element waiting to be reincarnated in this world.

Therefore, if the technique of sealing the soul turns the soul essence of all dying people into aura and dissipates it, there will be no soul essence reincarnated in the world, and no newborns will be born.

After such a stroking, not only Ji Qinglin, but even Ulanda, who always had a playful smile, couldn't help gasping, he gave a pale dry laugh twice, and said: "Well, this is not hurting others or benefiting oneself, what is this? Do you want to die together?"

After Ji Qinglin experienced the initial shock, he calmed down instead. He pursed his lips and said, "But if their purpose is really here, why are most of them targeting the elderly so far? Since they want the world The soul element is getting less and less, whose soul element is not split if it is split?"

Hearing this, Ulanda reminded: "Didn't Ruogu say that the technique of sealing the soul can only be used on dying people, isn't it the most dying people among the old people? It's not surprising that they target the old people."

Ji Qinglin thought for a moment, the truth was correct, but he always felt that it was more than that simple.

He looked at Xie Wuyi, and found that his expression was a little more serious than before, as if he had thought of something more serious.

Sure enough, after listening to Ulanda's words, Xie Wuyi slowly shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not just because of this."

He met Ulanda and Ji Qinglin's searching gazes, and instead of explaining directly, he asked a strange question first: "Have you ever thought about why there are more and more people in this world?"

Both Ji Qinglin and Ulanda were taken aback, as if they couldn't understand the meaning of this question for a while, but soon, both of them realized that they had overlooked an important question earlier.

If there is a one-to-one correspondence between death and rebirth, and one person dies and one is reborn, then the total number of people in the world should also be fixed. How can there be more and more people?

Since there are more and more people, it means that there are more and more souls, so where do these extra souls come from?

Xie Wuyi saw the suddenly enlightened expressions of the two, and knew that they had realized the key to this problem, so he continued: "It is often said in the world that people with long lives are blessed people, and they are full of 'blessings'. This is not groundless."

The soul element is formed by the gathering of aura, and its "size" is not static.

In the process of human growth, the soul element is also constantly absorbing spiritual energy from the surroundings. The longer the survival time and the more spiritual energy it gathers, the "bigger" the soul element will be.

If a person lives long enough and the spirit energy gathered by the soul element is enough, the soul element will be divided into two when he dies, and become two new soul elements to support the birth of two fetuses.

Because of this, there will be more and more talents in this world.

Therefore, if the caster's conspiracy is really to curb the new life in the world, then splitting the soul essence of an old man is much more useful than splitting the soul essence of a child.After all, if the soul essence of a child is split, only a newborn will be reduced, and if the soul essence of an old man is split, it may be possible to reduce two at a time.

Ji Qinglin quickly understood the pros and cons, and asked again: "Then what is the boundary between the 'big' and 'small' soul elements?"

Xie Wuyi said, "A Jiazi."

The lifespan is shorter than one Jiazi, and the soul element remains unchanged after death, and is directly reincarnated.

Life is longer than one Jiazi. After death, the soul element is divided into two, and two newborns are born.

Ji Qinglin nodded, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of astonishment in Wulanda's eyes, looking straight at Xie Wuyi.

Xie Wuyi met Ulanda's astonished gaze, and said calmly, "That's right, this is why Sijigu's lifespan is less than sixty years old."

It was only then that Ji Qinglin knew that there was an iron law in Four Seasons Valley that hadn't been changed for thousands of years, that is, no one's lifespan should exceed one sixty-year-old.

He suddenly remembered that before he had seen Shijiu, when Yinluo first told him the legend of "Rejuvenation" in the Tongtian Palace in Lanze Palace, he said that the master in charge would come back every six months. He will retreat for more than ten years, and then return to the palace.

At that time, he thought that "every other Jiazi" was just an approximate imaginary finger, but he didn't expect that it really meant a whole Jiazi.

The intention of this iron law is not difficult to understand, if the age is controlled within one Jiazi, the soul element will remain intact when reincarnated, and will not be divided into two.

After learning the inside story, Ji Qinglin slowly felt a little uneasy.

At first, he didn't understand where this unease came from. It wasn't until he connected the recent events one by one that he suddenly grasped the source of this unease.

He frowned, and said slowly and solemnly: "Do you think that the person behind the scenes knows too much?"

Most people in this world are ordinary people. Their knowledge of reincarnation and soul essence is only from legends, dramas and sect preaching.

Some people are sure of the existence of these things because of their beliefs, and some people even scoff at the theory of reincarnation, let alone grasp the specific methods and details.

And the person behind the scenes, everything he has done so far is far beyond what ordinary people can do.

He knows that soul essence has "size" and how to use the old man's soul essence to "block" the reproduction in the world. He even knows the effect of the pine needles of the dragon's blood tree and the art of sealing the soul that even Jie Wuyi has never heard of before. .

For ordinary people, Four Seasons Valley is already an existence beyond ordinary people's cognition, and Four Seasons Valley has a thorough understanding of everything in the world.

And the details mastered by the person behind the scenes are even more detailed than Four Seasons Valley.

Ulanda savored the meaning of Ji Qinglin's words carefully, and couldn't help feeling a chill down his spine.

For more than 1000 years, with the help of Yuwei Memory, Sijigu has long been accustomed to its position in the world, and they have almost never encountered threats from the outside world.

The change of the throne of the emperor, the rise and fall of natural disasters and man-made disasters, are not enough to have an impact on Four Seasons Valley.

During the long and peaceful time, they have almost forgotten the existence of death.

But the current force is like a sharp sword stabbing out silently in the darkness, it has accurately grasped the vital points, and the moment it strikes, it is precise and ruthless.

Ji Qinglin looked down at the table case, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "When was the first time someone in your Four Seasons Valley was attacked?"

Xie Wuyi thought for a while and said, "About ten years ago."

"oh, I see."

Ji Qinglin seemed a little disappointed when he heard this answer, and Ulanda asked, "Why do you ask this?"

Ji Qinglin stroked his lips with his fingertips, and said: "I was thinking, since this person knows so far about the reincarnation of the soul, would he, like you Four Seasons Valley, have something similar to a jade pendant to preserve his longevity. But listen If you say that, it is unlikely, if he has always existed in this world like you, why didn't he do anything to you for more than 1000 years, why did he have to wait until ten years ago?"

Ulanda was silent, and seemed to have no idea about this issue.

So far, they are still in a cloud of fog. They only know that there is a sword hanging in the sky, but they don't know who the sword is, and they don't know what he wants to plot.

Both Ji Qinglin and Ulanda had frowns deeply, and Xie Wuyi was still calm. He tapped on the table lightly to recall their thoughts, and said: "Leave aside the unknown, the most important thing right now is to prevent They continue to perform the art of sealing the soul."

Only then did Ji Qinglin come to his senses, remembering that the purpose of their trip was to go to Nanshan to destroy the dragon's blood tree, so that the practitioners would lose the source of pine needles.

Ulanda also quickly calmed down, nodded and said, "This place is not far from Nanshan Mountain. We will start our journey after dawn tomorrow, and we will be able to reach the foot of Nanshan Mountain in about noon. However, there is no established mountain road in Nanshan Mountain, and we still need to walk up the mountain."

Seeing that the two of them had no objection to this, Ulanda stood up and patted the hem of his clothes, and said relaxedly to Ji Qinglin: "Let's go, I'll take you to find a room to sleep in."

Ji Qinglin was stunned, then stretched out his head to look at the bed in the next bedroom strangely, and asked, "Can't you sleep here?"

Ulanda took it for granted, "This room is for the ancestors."

Ji Qinglin sat on the same spot without moving, and he couldn't explain why, it seemed that he and Xie Wuyi were used to eating and living together recently, and now that he heard that they were going to rest separately, he always felt a little reluctant in his heart.

The houses in Qinan are mostly bamboo buildings. Due to the hot and humid climate, there is no need for heavy quilts to keep out the cold. Even the bed is just a thicker cushion on the floor.

Ji Qinglin looked at the cushion in the back room, licked his lips and said as if nothing had happened: "Anyway, they are sleeping on the floor. I think this room is quite spacious, just squeeze as you like."

Before Ulanda could say "the ancestor likes to be alone", Ji Qinglin suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said first: "Ulanda, you are already a nuisance to the people if you lead the troops to station here, and it would be a waste to requisition an extra room. Adding more trouble to the people. How can you use the name of the imperial court as a powerful general to bully the people?"

Ulanda blinked blankly, and before he had time to refute, he listened to Xie Wuyi and said indifferently: "It makes sense."

Ji Qinglin nodded solemnly to Xie Wuyi, then looked at Ulanda and said, "So don't bother the people to move the house anymore, I'll just sleep here."

Listening to the two singing together, Ulanda let out an "oh" as if wandering, then turned and walked outside the house.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he came back to his senses, turned around and said, "No, why did I bully..."

With a "bang", the door closed in front of his eyes. He blinked very quickly, but still stubbornly continued the second half of the sentence: "... the common people?"

After muttering, he turned around in a daze, tilted his mouth and blew on a strand of hair torn off by the white hair beside his cheek, puzzled.

Seeing him coming out, an officer and soldier rushed forward to meet him and said, "General, you have given him two rooms to rest in this room, and this subordinate will requisition another room for you?"

Ulanda stared at him for a long time, until he stared at the officer and soldier so stiff that he almost broke out in a cold sweat, then he raised a finger and shook it: "No, don't bother the people anymore, give me a hand at your residence." Add a cushion, and I'll squeeze with you."

"Ah?" The officer and soldier didn't seem to be able to react for a while, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only say in a daze, "Oh, yes, this subordinate will do it now."

He scratched his head in a daze, and looked at Ulanda suspiciously again, but he didn't dare to ask any questions after all.

inside the house.

Ji Qinglin kept closing the door, stood on the spot, lowered his head and smiled secretly, finally laughed enough, cleared his throat with a dry cough, and turned around.

As soon as he turned around, he was staring at him without a moment's notice and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
