Chapter 187 Lost Soul
"Young master Duan is saying that Master himself said that he is about to die, and you want you to lock him in the tomb?" Mr. Fu saw my puzzled eyes and asked Duan Zhiyi as if confirming it.Duan Zhiyi nodded, Mr. Fu's expression was a little melancholy, and he muttered to himself: "Pingyao Sanren must have escaped the shackles of the physical body and become immortals."

I have reservations about this statement, is it so easy to be a fairy?But there is no need to disagree with them on this issue.I only heard Mr. Fu ask again: "Did the respected master say anything else?"

Duan Zhiyi nodded again: "Of course I said it. Master said that when he watched the sky at night, he saw a malevolent star born in the northern sky. Its sharpness seemed to overwhelm the emperor star, but beside the emperor star there was an unknown star that appeared and disappeared. It is close to the emperor star, like a general star, but also like a disaster star, the master can't figure out this kind of astrology, and said that there will be a catastrophe in the world, so let me go down the mountain and come to the capital."

"Big disaster? What big disaster?" I looked at him suspiciously, wondering if it was referring to the incident of the evil fall in General Ji?General Ji's surrender, can it affect the situation in the world?I frowned and said: "Master Duan asked Mr. Duan to go down the mountain, but to solve the mystery of the astrology?"

"Solving the riddle?" Duan Zhiyi laughed, "The old man said that it is best to make a fortune if the world is in chaos. I must benefit from going to Beijing."

"Huh?" Mr. Fu and I looked at Duan Zhiyi in a daze, this Pingyao Sanren Sect disciple is too messy, right?But Duan Zhiyi said softly: "Actually, I know Master's intentions. The world is in chaos, and people will be devastated. Master has reached his end and is unable to save him, so he sent me down the mountain to try to prevent this disaster. As for what kind of disaster, although Master did not I can’t see through it, but I believe I can feel it.”

I looked at him for a while before slowly saying: "Mr. Duan, you have lived in the mountains since you were young, so you may not know the rules of the world. Do you know that what you said today cannot be spoken to others casually. If it falls on someone with ulterior motives In my ears, I'm afraid it will bring death to the young master."

"I won't tell others." He looked at me and smiled calmly. "You have auspiciousness in your body, so I told you. I believe you."

I looked at him quietly, his eyes were as pure as water, like a child ignorant of the world, however, I somehow felt that this man was not simple.There was a slight smile on the corner of my lips: "Thank you, my lord, for your trust."

He smiled lightly.I continued: "Can you tell me frankly, why did you linger outside General Ji's mansion, and even tell people that the general's mansion is shrouded in evil?"

Duan Zhiyi was only slightly taken aback, then smiled: "It turns out Madam knows that fierce little girl, and that's why Madam invited me to the house, right?"

"Yes, she is Ping An, the niece of General Ji." I smiled lightly, "Ping An is impulsive and reckless. I believe that there must be a reason for what the young master said. I apologize to the young master on her behalf."

"Why would I care about a little girl like her." Duan Zhiyi waved his hand and said with a smile, "Since madame asks me like that, she must already know that someone in the Jifu has fallen into a sorcerer's spell?"

Mr. Fu and I looked at each other and nodded: "It is true that someone in the General's Mansion has fallen into a witchcraft, how did Mr. Duan know?"

"As I said, the general's mansion is shrouded in evil." Duan Zhiyi smiled and pointed to her own eyes, "My eyes are born different from others, and I can see things that ordinary people can't see. When I was young, I was often told Those things scared me half to death, but the master said that this is my blessing, and how many people who practice it will not be able to achieve supernatural powers and open their eyes in the whole life."

My vest is numb, is it yin and yang eyes?I can see ghosts and strange objects since I was a child, such supernatural powers, don't worry about it.Since Pingyao Sanren accepted him as an apprentice, they may have taken a fancy to his talent which is different from ordinary people.I looked at Mr. Fu, and said to Duan Zhiyi: "Can Mr. Duan undo this magic?"

I didn't tell him who was affected by the magic spell, nor did I say that the magic spell was the second-rank soul surrender. In addition to not wanting to publicize the fact that General Ji was surrendered, I also wanted to test the ability of this period of knowledge. Although he is Pingyao An apprentice of a Sanren, but with his master's teaching method, how much has this person learned from his master?I just heard Duan Zhiyi talking eloquently: "The evil spirit in the Ji Mansion echoes the evil star at a distance. The stronger the evil spirit, the brighter the evil star. This evil spirit can affect the astrology. It is so domineering. In my impression, it seems that there is only the most vicious evil spirit in southern Xinjiang. It can only be done by descending to the second rank and pulling the soul. Am I right?"

"Mr. Duan is really well-read and memorized." I was not surprised, and Mr. Fu also showed surprise on his face. I didn't expect him to guess the name of the sorcery just by observing the evil spirit and astrology.I couldn't help but get nervous, hold my teacup tightly, and said expectantly: "Does the young master know how to rescue him?"

"It is said that in order to undo the soul-drawing, you need the help of an evil spirit artifact." Duan Zhiyi frowned and said, "But people in this world who have an evil spirit artifact, I am afraid they will not take it out at will to release surrender."

"Why? Do you know who owns the artifact?" I do have the artifact, which is hidden under my collar, but the only ones who know it is me, the old man and Mr. Fu.Before this Duan Zhiyi said something, I would not lightly tell about the possession of the artifact. I always dare not trust a stranger too easily.I only heard Duan Zhiyi say: "Our God of Protecting the Nation Cauldron of the Tianzhao Dynasty can break the magic of the second-rank soul-drawing."

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Fu's face suddenly changed, he opened his mouth to speak, looked at me, and stopped again.I was suspicious, why was Mr. Fu so shocked when he heard this?

"What is the god of protecting the country?" I asked Duan Zhiyi, but my eyes were on Mr. Fu.Just listen to Duan Zhiyi's explanation: "It is said that Emperor Taizu, the founder of Tianzhao Kingdom, received a divine tripod as a gift from an immortal. In Taimiao, it is said that if there is a divine cauldron for one day, it will be able to protect the prosperity of the Tianzhao Dynasty, the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people."

Since ancient times, people who have rebelled will always fabricate a majestic reason, whether they have received an oracle or obtained a fairy, it is an instruction from the heavens, to show the rationality of their rebellion.I looked at Mr. Fu's gradually calm expression, and said lightly: "Is this divine tripod really a divine thing?"

If so, why didn't the old man try to use it to save Yun Zheng?Mr. Fu must have known about the God of Protecting the Nation, otherwise his face would not have changed drastically. Why did he hide the matter of the God of Protecting the Nation from me?Or, did he hide something from the old man?

"It seems that no one has ever doubted that the Emperor Taizu won the God of Protecting the Nation, and he was indeed invincible and ruled the world, and the Tianzhao Dynasty has also become a celestial dynasty that is intimidating everywhere." Duan Zhiyi said, "But..."

If the divine cauldron could save Ji Jingyun, the emperor would not sit idly by. I thought of his calm expression when he reported to the emperor that General Ji had surrendered. Did he know that the divine cauldron could save him?But how did the emperor know that the artifact could break the magic spell?
I just feel that my mind is in chaos, and I just want to solve the confusion as soon as possible: "But what?" Although the divine cauldron is a precious national treasure, but it is used to save people, and it is still the pillar of the country like Ji Jingyun, the emperor's confidant, It shouldn't be a big problem, right?

"The god of protecting the country is the treasure of the town. It is not only related to the national destiny of the Tianzhao Kingdom, but also the amulet of the emperor in every dynasty. It can protect the emperor from being fascinated by sorcery and evil things." Duan Zhiyi's words are a bit shocking, " Reckless use of the divine cauldron will not only affect the luck of the emperor, but it will also open the emperor's empty door and have nothing to rely on within seven to forty-nine days."

I gripped my teacup tightly.If this is the case, it may be difficult for the emperor to save Ji Jingyun with the god of protecting the country. Even if the emperor wants to do this, the empress dowager and courtiers may not agree.I hesitated for a moment and asked, "What if there are other artifacts?"

"Other artifacts?" Duan Zhiyi looked at me in surprise, and said with a smile, "In this world, the only artifact I know of in this world is the God of Protecting the Nation enshrined in the Taimiao, and the other artifacts are all legends. "

"What if there are other legendary artifacts in the world?" I tentatively asked, "For example, the legendary Beaulieu Moyu, can it crack the evil fall?"

"Boiled Dragon Black Jade?" Duan Zhiyi looked at me in amazement, "Although the Panlong Black Jade is a divine weapon, how could it exist in this world?"

"Why is it impossible?" I obviously wore it on my body, but seeing Duan Zhiyi's expression, I'm afraid there is still a lot to be said about this jade.Duan Zhiyi said with a smile: "There is indeed a record in the ancient literature that Panlong Moyu is an artifact to ward off evil spirits, but Moyu Panlong is actually not a pure artifact to ward off evil."

"Humans have three souls and seven souls, and gods also have three souls and seven souls. People will die if they lose the three souls and seven souls. According to legend, the three souls and seven souls of the gods will turn into a divine weapon when they are pulled out of their bodies. "Duan Zhiyi continued, "Boiled Dragon Moyu is an artifact of the underworld, but almost no one knows that Panlong Moyu is actually the consciousness soul of one of the three souls of Hades."

"What?" I cried out, my heart was startled and confused, could this piece of Black Dragon Jade be the soul of Ming Yan?Duan Zhiyi was taken aback by my violent reaction, I settled my mind and urged, "I'm being rude, Mr. Duan, please continue."

"Humans have three souls of heaven, earth and fate. Among the three souls, the two souls of heaven and earth are always outside, and only the soul of fate lives alone. The three souls of life and destiny do not often meet together. Human life is born from the soul of fate dwelling in the fetus. After conception, the energy is distributed on the seven chakras of the human body to form the seven souls. The soul is unique to the human body. After death, the seven souls dissipate, and the soul of life also leaves. This is the end of life." Duan Zhiyi continued, "The soul is the soul of the earth. After death, the soul will report to hell. The soul of the earth is originally the fate of the soul of the sky. We can know all the karma of the soul of the sky. It can also refer to the fate of the soul of the mission. Good and evil, so the body dies, and the soul of the earth will enter the land of cause and effect—hell.”

"Mr. Duan just needs to say, what will happen if this earth soul is lost?" I don't quite understand what he said, just want to know, if this piece of jade is one of Ming Yan's three souls, what will happen to Ming Yan? ?

Duan Zhiyi said: "If a person loses his earth soul, he will not be able to enter the underworld and reincarnate. If a god loses his earth soul, he will not be able to perceive the past and the future, but he will have a powerful telepathy with the lost earth soul. Panlong Moyu is both How could Pluto’s conscious soul be pulled out and turned into a divine weapon? That’s why I said that it is absolutely impossible for this Panlong Black Jade to appear in this world.”

I squeezed the teacup so hard that I almost broke it.My heart is throbbing with pain, Mingyan, you silly boy, did you actually withdraw your soul for me in order to allow me to contact you at any time?Could this be the reason why you have not been able to recover your memory so far?What if I return this piece of jade to you?Do you remember everything?Ming Yan, the love I owe you will never be cleared in this life...
