Dream Maker [Rebirth]

It was a snow-white jade bottle. The body of the bottle was round and shiny, and the mouth of the bottle was wavy around it. There was a cover on it. Like a jade bead, the bead body is glowing with light gold, like a shrunken bright moon.

Ever since Ji Wuzhou stepped on the top of the stage, Lu Ci's eyes were firmly fixed on the jade bottle. After all, he had seen the other three spiritual artifacts with his own eyes, but he had never heard of the fourth one.

However, for Ji Wuzhou at that time, not only had he never seen the fourth spiritual weapon, but it was also the first time he had seen the other three. He didn't know what they were and what they were for.

He stood in front of the stage, his eyes swept over the four square spirit weapons one by one, and then raised his hand to reach the stage.

Just when he was about to touch one of them, the spiritual light floating on the spiritual weapon fluctuated and circulated extremely quickly like the layer on the previous mural, and all of them penetrated into his fingertips in an instant.

With the previous experience, Lu Ci immediately realized what happened: "Is this also a memory?"

"Yes," Ji Wuzhou replied from the side, "it's about the usage of each spirit weapon."

Lu Ci, the memory that had directly entered Ji Wuzhou's body, could not be seen either, so he could only continue to ask: "So what is this bottle...?"

Ji Wuzhou didn't hide anything, and replied: "The moon-appreciating soul bottle has the power to summon souls and gather memories. Putting the relics of the newly deceased in it can recall the unreincarnated soul essence and scattered memory fragments of the deceased. , attached to the relic."

Lu Ci was stunned for a moment, and then he had a flash of enlightenment, and said incoherently: "Then Fu Ling, do you just use it..."

"Yes," Ji Wuzhou said, "It is because of it that your soul essence can be attached to Fu Ling."

Luci suddenly understood.

Although he knew before that his soul essence was always in Fu Ling, he didn't know how Fu Ling had this effect, but because of such mysterious things, there may not be a reason for everything, if everything is thought It is not easy to trace the source, so I didn't go into it further.

Now that he learned that this "source" turned out to be the fourth legendary spiritual weapon, he suddenly felt a sense of absurdity: "So there is no trump card at all, and what they have always been worried about is actually this soul bottle?"

He asked this question a bit without beginning or end, but Ji Wuzhou quickly understood what he meant, after all, the rumor that "the fourth spiritual weapon is the killer's mace" had been circulating in the world for a long time, and he had heard it before.

Hearing Lu Ci's unbelievable tone at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little funny: "That's right, the shocking weapon they imagined is just a bottle."

After all, he raised his eyebrows with great interest and said: "But it's not difficult to understand, after all, the most frightening thing in this world is never the power, but the unknown."

It is true that this statement cannot be refuted, Lu Ci couldn't help being a little bit ironic, he didn't know if Ji Wuzhou's purpose of not letting the soul bottle appear in this world was purely for the sake of raising doubts, but he knew that this move had indeed achieved a dreadful effect.

Lu Ci said, "Then where did you put it?"

According to what Zhongli Bufu said, when Ji Wuzhou faced everyone's questioning about the whereabouts of the fourth spiritual weapon, he said that he put the spiritual weapon in "the place it should be". Lu Ci was really curious about where it would be.

Ji Wuzhou sneered, and said casually: "It's in the Immortal Palace."

Lu Ci shook his head with a helpless smile. Sure enough, the so-called "where it should be" is just a random nonsense.

At this time, Ji Wuzhou in the memory screen already knew the usage of the four spirit weapons, and without any hesitation, he immediately reached out and took the moon-appreciating soul bottle, opened the top cover, and put the Fu Ling in his hand into it .

Fu Ling was made of blood jade, when it fell into the bottle and collided with the bottom of the bottle, it made a unique crackling sound of jade. Ji Wuzhou put the jade cover back on and waited for a while, but found that the soul bottle didn't respond immediately. I was a little dazed for a while.

According to memory, what the Jianyue soul bottle can recall is the unreincarnated soul essence, but at this moment he is not sure where Lu Ci's soul essence is and whether it has been reincarnated.

Since he couldn't be sure right now, it would be useless to think too much, so he didn't continue to wait in vain, took the other three spiritual weapons together, turned around and walked down the high platform, and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

As soon as the front foot stepped out of the secret room, the stone door slowly closed behind him. At the same time, there was a faint sound of water coming from all around. It seemed that the water in the mirror pool that had retreated before was gushing out from all directions.

He didn't know where the water came from, but he still quickened his pace and walked towards the stone steps by the pool.

Sure enough, when he was walking up the steps, the already dry bottom of the pool was filled with water again, and the water surface was just an inch away from his feet, almost every time he stepped on a step, the water in the pool rose Up one point.

When he finally returned to the bank of the pool, the water in the mirror pool happened to be full, and the secret room and stone steps were once again hidden in the deep pool water, as if everything before was just a dream, only the square in his hand The spirit weapon clamored to prove that those were not dreams.

Seeing this in memory, Lu Ci originally thought that the matter had come to an end, but unexpectedly, Ji Wuzhou in the memory picture did not leave in a hurry, but walked to the skeleton of Lu Ci that he had placed under the tree earlier, Putting down the other three spiritual weapons, he stood up holding the Wanling Staff.

Lu Ci asked suspiciously, "What are you?"

Ji Wuzhou said: "Exploring Yi."

Lu Ci was taken aback for a moment, and then he said in surprise: "Wan Ling Staff can even detect the memory of the dead?"

Ji Wuzhou turned to look at him, and said slightly teasingly: "Otherwise, where do you think the memories of the victims in the excommunication ceremony come from?"

Lu Ci suddenly woke up like a dream: "Did you take those from the dead with a staff and put them into the pool of mirrors as examination questions?"

Ji Wuzhou nodded, but quickly explained: "However, the memory of the dead can only be regarded as a remnant, unlike the memory of the living, which can be visited repeatedly. It will completely dissipate after reading it once or twice at most."

As Ji Wuzhou in the memory screen began to manipulate the staff, everything around the corpse fluctuated, and soon the memory of Lu Ci shortly before his death appeared.

Looking at the strange scene of Yi Zhong Yi, Lu Ci felt weird, but quickly discovered a question: "Why is this part in the first place?"

The scene of reminiscence in remembrance begins when Lu Ci and a group of juniors and sisters pick up the wooden basin containing the baby's corpse on the bank of Xihezhou.

Ji Wuzhou said: "Since the memory of the deceased is a trace, it will not be too long, usually at most ten days before death."

Lu Ci nodded and didn't ask any more questions, silently looking at the memory he had already experienced.

It is definitely not a pleasant thing to witness the catastrophe and the tragic death of the same family again. Lu Ci was secretly reminding himself to be prepared when he suddenly felt that Ji Wuzhou held his hand and turned his staff slightly. The picture began to pass quickly in an instant, and it didn't take a moment for the memory to come to an end.

Lu Ci was stunned, then he listened to Ji Wuzhou nonchalantly saying: "Since you have experienced this part yourself, you don't need to read it again, it's a waste of time."

Lu Ci couldn't help turning his head to look at him, thinking that this person is really as careful as he is, and that's all for being careful, but he never expresses his good intentions outright, and is used to finding random reasons to dismiss him, really... …

Before he could find a way to speak, Ji Wuzhou in the memory picture made another move.

He picked up Lu Ci's bones, took the Sifang Spiritual Artifact and returned to the rockery in the secret place. After digging and burying the bones, he followed the pictures in Lu Ci's memory before he died to find the place where they buried the baby's corpse. place.

It was a bush near the shore of the continent.

Although it was covered with a layer of snow at this time, it was still obvious that a certain piece of soil had been turned over. There was no grass growing on that piece of land, which was very different from the knee-length weeds around it.

Seeing that Ji Wuzhou found this place, Lu Ci immediately realized what his intention was: "You want to explore the memory of the baby's corpse?"

Ji Wuzhou nodded, not without regrets: "But it failed."

In the memory screen, Ji Wuzhou dug up the wasteland and accurately dug up the baby's corpse.

The appearance of the baby corpse was completely different from what Lu Ci remembered before his death—when they picked up the wooden basin earlier, the baby corpse in the basin was rotten but still had flesh and blood. Now just over ten days have passed, and he But only a pile of bones remained.

If Luci had seen such a change back then, he would have believed that it was because the infant corpse was the source of the plague. Since the source of the disease was the same, the "disease" that turned into bones would naturally be the same.

But now that he knows that the baby corpse is not carrying a disease but a Gu worm, then there is a more reasonable explanation for this change—when they picked up the baby corpse, the lice and Gu worm in the baby corpse hadn't exhausted his body. Flesh and blood can continue to survive and reproduce, so that it will bring disaster to the entire secret realm.And when the lice had devoured the flesh and blood of the baby's corpse, there were no living things around, so it had no choice but to stop multiplying and die quickly because it ran out of ammunition and food.

At that time, Ji Wuzhou didn't know about the Gu disease, so when he saw the change in the baby's corpse, he understood that it was caused by the epidemic, and didn't think too much about it. .

However, after trying several times with the staff, he found that it was impossible to detect even a little bit of memory.

Lu Ci looked at Ji Wuzhou in the memory screen and tried repeatedly but failed, and asked doubtfully, "Is it because he died for too long?"

Ji Wuzhou pondered for a moment, and said: "At the time, I thought so too, but after I returned to the human continent, I tried several times. All babies, even if they are alive, cannot find any memories. I guess it is because they have not yet reached the age of remembering things. They are still young, so even the things they have experienced will not leave them with memories, so naturally there is no way to find out."

Ordinary people have to grow up to about a few years before they start to remember things. The earliest past events that people can remember are only childhood. No one has ever been able to remember the past when they were still in their infancy. Therefore, it is indeed reasonable for Ji Wuzhou to have such a conjecture .

Lu Ci knew that the reason why Ji Wuzhou wanted to explore the memory of the baby corpse at that time was to find out where he came from. After all, he was the source of the "plague". Possibility of tracing.

It's a pity that the search for memories failed, and Ji Wuzhou had to give up temporarily.

He reburied the baby's body back to the original place, and searched carefully in the secret realm, and accidentally found three spirit deer cubs that had not been affected by the "plague" in the depths of a cave in the corner of the secret realm.

After sending the cubs and spirit artifacts onto the boat, he went to the master's residence, found the box where the disciple's wooden plaque was stored, and brought it onto the boat along with the spirit crane corpses scattered on the shore of the island.

Lu Ci stared blankly at his series of actions, and suddenly understood where the crane feather robe, Linglu, and the wooden plaque for the child's funeral came from, and he felt mixed feelings in his heart.

After doing all this, Ji Wuzhou in the memory screen looked around the secret place for the last time, turned around and pushed the wooden boat down the shore, and set off for the return voyage amidst the wind and snow waves.

The memory ends here.

Lu Ci turned the staff to retract the thread of memory, the fluctuations in the picture in front of him faded away, and the light net on the wall swirled and circled, and soon revealed the true face of the bedroom of the restaurant.

After everything was restored to its original appearance, Lu Ci couldn't help but let go of his staff with a long sigh of relief, walked to the bed and sat down to look out the window.

It was still dark at this time, and the time spent exploring memories was not as long as he imagined, but he finally woke up after a long dream.

Ji Wuzhou retracted the staff to the size of a pipe, casually put it on a table beside him, walked a few steps to Lu Ci and sat down next to him.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "What do you think is wrong?"

Lu Ci, who had just read a large section of memory, was still a little messy at this moment, and was stunned for a moment after hearing Ji Wuzhou's question, unable to react: "What?"

Ji Wuzhou said: "I mean, did you find anything missing in this memory?"

Lu Ci was at a loss for a while, but he instinctively felt that Ji Wuzhou was not aiming for nothing. It seemed that there was a detail that he had overlooked that was about to come out from the bottom of his heart, and his intuition told him that this detail was particularly important.

The previous memory images flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern, and after a while, a certain light suddenly flashed, and he slowly turned his head to look at Ji Wuzhou, his eyes suddenly opened wide.
