Mysterious master reborn

Chapter 43: Keeping the Soul

Seeing that the two lightning-fast white silver whips were about to attack at close quarters, Li Yan tilted the corner of his mouth: "Pediatrics."

After saying that, he turned his left foot to touch the ground, and his whole body passed directly across the two silver whips, and the landing position was just right to protect Qin Mubai behind him.

On a summer morning, the sky dawns very quickly.

Just when Li Yan dodged the two silver whips, the sunlight had already illuminated the second-floor hut where Wang Jinshan was bound.

So at this moment, Li Yan and Qin Mubai could clearly see the three who just whipped the whip.

The leader was a man with a beard and a face full of vicissitudes, but the two who attacked behind looked exactly the same. The only difference was the scars on their faces, one was on the left cheek and the other was on the right cheek.

And the most important thing is that the three people in front of them all have a white snake tattooed on their ankles. The styles are uniform and there is no difference. They are all so vivid and ready to come out.

Li Yan clasped his fingers backwards and stretched his waist: "Let's talk, so you have tried everything possible to lure me here, is it just to find me for a fight?" After stretching, Li Yan stretched his waist Put your hands in your trouser pockets.

"You are indeed as smart as the acting head described." The bearded leader said, "We are here to take you where you should go this time."

"Where should I go?" Li Yan continued to ask: "Why don't I know that I still have a place to go?"

Because Li Yan wanted to get more information from the bearded man, he didn't do anything; the bearded man and the others seemed to be waiting for something intentionally, and they didn't take the initiative to take action again.

"You went with us, don't you know where you should go!" said the bearded man.

Li Yan: "Really? Is this place familiar to me?"

"Family, of course you are." The bearded man said.

Li Yan said: "Could it be the place where I was reborn?"

Just after Li Yan finished speaking, something quickly flashed across the face of the bearded man, like a kind of astonishment that someone had penetrated into his heart, but it disappeared quickly: "It is no doubt that you will ask more questions. When the time comes, you will know.”

"Then what if I don't want to go?" Li Yan asked back.

At this moment, another person suddenly appeared behind the bearded man.

I saw that this man was less than one meter tall, with a high shoulder, a narrow nose and a lot of hair. To be more specific, this man did not look like a human being, but a monkey, a monkey called a macaque.

Beard: "Youngest, is everything ready?"

"Well, everything is fine." The youngest nodded and replied.

After getting an affirmative answer from the youngest, the bearded man once again focused his attention on Li Yan: "You have to go if you want to, and you have to go if you don't want to. You can't decide!"

"Really?" Li Yan said, "Then I want to see who decides where I go."

The bearded man didn't respond at this time, but raised his hands together with the other three, muttering something in his mouth:

The soul stays in the soul, and the soul leaves the body.

Before the soulless body enters the formation, the soulless body leaves the formation.

The same origin leads to visions, the same name leads to distraction, the gods are snakes, and all the snakes come to the ancestors.

……

"Ah, I've summoned... the soul, the soul..." Wan Jinshan, who had been curled up and trembling, suddenly shouted, his eyes filled with panic: "That day, when Chen Yang brought me in, he muttered something like This is it... this is it..."

"Shut up, this is not a body change!" Li Yan turned around and interrupted Wang Jinshan's chatter: "This is called the soul-retaining array."

It is said that this soul-hunting formation was originally limited to the harem in the inner courtyard of the imperial city, after all, its origin was the harem's competition for favor.

According to legend, it was Emperor Wu's Empress Chen who was the earliest, unwilling to fall out of favor and be left out in the cold.

But in the end, Wei Zifu rebelled against the army, and the Chen family was implicated and killed directly because of the disaster of witchcraft. Empress Chen herself was demoted to a commoner because of this, and lived in Nagato Palace forever.

But right now, the soul-hunting array launched by the White Snake Four has obviously been upgraded, it's not just as simple as changing the body of a ghost, but asking for a soul's origin.

Because the moment they finished chanting the mantra, Li Yan could feel that his whole body became light and light, and this feeling was exactly the same as the feeling of starving to death after failing to fast.

The only difference is that the surrounding environment has also changed at this time.

The dilapidated and dilapidated two-story hut has now become a vast expanse of whiteness, empty and endless.

Even the feeling of landing on the soles of the feet completely disappeared, and the whole person seemed to be on top of the unusually soft clouds.

"Master, what's wrong with us?" Wang Jinshan automatically changed his address after seeing Li Yan's skill just now: "Where is this? Master."

Li Yan looked around, but didn't return him.

Qin Mubo behind him is also looking around. Although he doesn't know much about the metaphysics of cultivation, everything has its similarities. The environment he is in now is similar to the environment where psychological hypnosis makes the subject quiet. place.

"Is this an illusion?" Qin Mubai asked.

Li Yan nodded to Qin Mubai.

"This is the illusion created by the four people just now, commonly known as the soul mirror." Li Yan scanned the surroundings with his eyes: "It is based on the original soul-retaining formation that introduced the illusion formation, trapping our souls in it." in."

"Ah!" Wang Jinshan on the side was suddenly terrified: "Master, do you mean that we only have souls left now? No body? Then are we dead?"

Li Yanbai gave him a look: "It's not dead, it's just an illusion. Breaking this formation will be fine."

After Wang Jinshan got the answer he wanted, he became quiet.

"Is this formation easy to break?" Qin Mubai asked.

"There will always be gates of life and gates of death in the formation, and its layout cannot escape the five elements, six armors, eight gates and nine palaces." Li Yan said: "I just checked with my eyes. Located at the west gate of Duiwei..."

Just when Li Yan was about to continue talking, the surrounding environment suddenly changed again, and instantly became a deep and cold pool with bottomless water. Li Yan, Qin Mubai, and Wang Jinshan were standing on a wooden board .

"Li Yan, why did it suddenly become like this?" Qin Mubai felt that his knowledge base was completely insufficient at this time.

"Gold produces water, the qi of Shaoyin, moistens dryness and flows fluid, and if gold is corrupted, it will become water." Li Yan said: "This is the variable of the gold system's retention of soul array. Our most urgent task now is to go to the life gate of exchange. You must know that the time in the soul state is different from the time outside, the longer we stay here, the body will not know where it will be transported by them."

"But, how can we get to that life gate now!" Wang Jinshan cried out in compassion.

"Should we swim there?" Qin Mubai asked.

"No, this water is gold-type water, and people who enter it will sink directly into the pool." Li Yan waved his hand.

"Then how should we get there?" Qin Mubai asked.

Li Yan squatted down, put his hands on the wooden board under his feet, and muttered in his mouth, "Water can make wood, wood makes one, one makes two, two makes three, and three makes ten thousand trees."

When I read the last word, the wooden board under my feet seemed to have life.Constantly becoming longer and wider, a pontoon bridge was erected on the blue and black pool water.

"Right now." Li Yan said.

The three of them ran directly towards the direction where the pontoon bridge extended.Among them, because Wang Jinshan has returned to his free soul body, his body has become as fat as before, and it is extraordinarily strenuous to run.

Running and running, a bearded voice suddenly came from the deep pool: "Snakes are shaped like thousands of miles, with iron armor; ten thousand snakes go to the court, and the soul is captured."

When the voice fell to the ground, the sound of countless iron sheets rubbing against each other suddenly came from the bottom of the pool. This sound of iron rubbing against iron directly stimulated the nerves in every part of the body, making people feel goosebumps all over their bodies, even if they were in the state of souls. Everyone in the audience trembled unconsciously.

"Master, what is this strange sound?" Wang Jinshan asked out of breath.

"Iron Snake!" Li Yan said in turn.

Just when Li Yan finished speaking this word, the sound of iron scraping against the bottom of the pool became louder and denser.

The curiosity in Wang Jinshan's heart could not be suppressed, and he couldn't help but glance back.

I saw countless arm-length iron-clad white snakes leaping from the depths of the pool to the wooden boards. The sound that made people feel chills was the result of the friction between the snakes.

Wang Jinshan's legs looked as if they were filled with lead, and they were motionless, almost watching the snakes slithering along the wooden bridge to Wang Jinshan's body and eating him up.

"Close your eyes!" Li Yan shouted.
