Chapter 81 2.76 The Tenth Waiter: Apprenticeship
【East Suburb Forest】

Lan Lingxi was thinking about the bone girl while dealing with the complicated things in the clan.

In fact, the things in the Yuling clan are nothing more than gathering, hunting and some scattered and trivial chores that have to be done. For generations, the clansmen have no plan to get out of this forest, and they don't know the outside situation.

They have long been familiar with life in the forest, and their lives are extremely comfortable.

It's just that since Lan Lingxi became a priest and the original priest died, all kinds of struggles in the clan have changed from being secretly to robbing on the surface.

The forest in the eastern suburbs is not particularly large, but it is a primeval forest, and its total area is several times larger than that of Paradise City.

Although the hierarchical relationship between the Yuling tribe is based solely on the food they can get, it is not necessarily defined according to such traditional things. There are also fetters about blood relationship and social relationship hidden in it.

If the members of the Yuling clan recorded these, it would also be a thick family history with rich plots.

Lan Lingxi is now not only the most authoritative person in the Yuling clan on the surface, but also the person with the lowest power secretly.

Most of the Yuling people still turn to Lan Qingzhu's father in their hearts, which means that Lan Lingxi is a priest whose status has been emptied.

After all, she is young, and her identity is extremely special—it's just that this identity is a shame to all the people of the Yuling clan. No one will specifically mention it, but everyone who knows it knows it well.

As a priest, Lan Lingxi must start to dig out these secrets.

As for the breakthrough of these secrets, in Lan Lingxi's view, it is still necessary to see if the bone girl can provide clues.

After not meeting the bone girl for several days, Lan Lingxi decided to find the bone girl herself.

The mountain god who has always been her spiritual comfort will not appear unless there are special circumstances. Yes, the only clue Lan Lingxi has left now is the inexplicably enthusiastic bone girl who behaved strangely at the time but taught herself to "soul reappear".

But how can we find that bone girl?
Maybe it will take a long time to search...

But the moment Lan Lingxi listened to countless souls whispering in his ears and walked into the land of spirits that he had not entered for a long time, all the voices of the undead fell silent.

The long-haired woman appeared in front of her again, sitting on a big rock, looking into the distance, and then slowly looked at Lan Lingxi.

She saw the bone girl again, it might be better to say that the bone girl came to find her specially.

All the undead seem to be afraid of this bone girl.

At the moment when the woman with her face covered in white bones moved, all the undead that appeared beside Lan Lingxi disappeared without a trace, and Lan Lingxi's ears were instantly peaceful.

"Edena."

The cold and distant voice seemed to come from the open four fields. Although the painted woman's face could not speak, Lan Lingxi could understand that it was the woman in front of her who was speaking.

"Yes, is that your name?" Lan Lingxi felt that the words the bone girl said were like a woman's name, not like a spell, so she blurted out the doubts in her heart.

"That's right." Even the replying voice was so normal that it was a little cute.

It's no longer as weird as the first time we met. Although the appearance is still so abnormal, the way of talking is like a big sister next door.

Just when Lan Lingxi didn't know how to continue to take up the topic, and asked her own doubts by the way, Edina took the initiative to talk again, "How is it? Do you think it is very useful, are you interested in continuing to learn?"

That voice seemed to echo several times in the empty valley, and there were countless ethereal echoes.

Lan Lingxi knelt down knowingly, and crawled, "Thank you, Master Edina."

Edina's head didn't move, as if she was watching Lan Lingxi quietly. The short hair of the prostrate girl in front of her was even covered with dewdrops.

what……

The current scene reminded her of someone.

The father and daughter really look alike... But the difference is that it was not she who took the initiative to accept apprentices, but Lancelot insisted on apprenticeship.

You said, she is just a pile of bones.

How could someone be so ridiculous as to worship a person who has been dead for so long as a teacher.

Lancelot is also a weirdo with a strange brain circuit.

Lan Lingxi didn't know why this bone girl was suddenly so kind, but the undead in front of her was her only sustenance to dig out the truth and understand her life experience.

"Then..." Lan Lingxi wanted to ask about the whereabouts of her father at that time.

Edina, who was sitting on a rock and looking sideways at Lan Lingxi, suddenly jumped up.

And things around are changing rapidly.

Lan Lingxi felt dizzy for a while, but it was only a moment before she found herself in a narrow cave with a dark green light.

On the walls are one after another portraits of people with different looks and expressions, some are surprised, some are wild, some are weird, some are peaceful... and there are scattered around, it is hard to tell which is the face. Which parts of the bones.

A click.

Lan Lingxi followed the voice.

Edina is swiftly dismantling the bones in his hand, snapping, splitting into pieces, the body of the phalange, the bottom of the phalanx, the metacarpal bone, the lunate bone...

Lan Lingxi was stunned, and for a moment forgot what she was going to say.

Although there was no expression on Edina's face, Lan Lingxi felt that Edina was very serious about dismantling it...

After the handle was removed, Edina began to look around for a suitable hand bone, as if seeing Lan Lingxi looking at herself blankly, Edina turned her head sideways.

Holding up the empty arm that was dismantled, "Don't you think the original hand doesn't look good? Oh, I want another one."

Uh, uh...

Lan Lingxi didn't know what to reply, and felt that the thinking of the undead was a bit out of touch, which was different from their normal living people.

But Lan Lingxi has also seen a lot of undead, so she didn't panic too much.

Soon, Lan Lingxi came back to her senses and recalled the purpose of her trip, "Master Edina, you..."

Edina immediately interrupted Lan Lingxi, "I know what you want to ask."

"I am satisfied with what you have learned from me. I can tell you some news, but I also believe that Lancelot's daughter will not disappoint me."

There is no doubt that Edina obviously knew what Lan Lingxi wanted to ask.

However, Edina felt that there was no need to tell Lancelot's daughter these things in this way for the time being.

Lan Lingxi saw Edina picking among the bones, "Then, do you want me to help you?"

A few hand bones were thrown head-on in front of Lan Lingxi, accompanied by Edina's words, "It must be extremely hard, and it must be beautiful. Do you understand the beautiful ones?"

After speaking, Edina also raised the hand that was not disassembled.

It means that I am very satisfied with that hand, and I have to look for it like this.

When most people see this situation, they will be frightened and faint.

But Lan Lingxi is also very courageous, and she has seen countless undead, so the hand bone was thrown in front of her suddenly, and she didn't scream, let alone surprised.

Lan Lingxi also took the initiative to choose.

But picking up two bones that look similar in size, Lan Lingxi is also at a loss. Hey, what is a good-looking bone?
He knocked a hand bone on the ground.

Click.

Unexpectedly, the hand bone was broken like this.

Wait, broken, broken?
Edina wouldn't blame her, would she?Lan Lingxi looked at Edina dully, but unexpectedly Edina also looked at Lan Lingxi.

Lan Lingxi's brain crashed on the spot, and she didn't know how to explain it.

But Edina didn't seem to care about this matter, "Let me tell you something about the soul first."

"Soul?" Lan Lingxi immediately recovered from the downtime.

"Living creatures are made up of souls, divided into three souls and six souls. All the living things you see are like this."

While Edina was talking, she was still picking out the bones carefully, but Lan Lingxi had stopped her movements and was sitting upright listening.

"The three souls and six souls originate from the heaven and the earth. When the three souls and six souls are put together, one begins to have a fate chart, and after being connected with the fate of the world, one truly begins to live in this world."

The voice echoed in the cave, as if telling a mysterious and grand ceremony.

"But whether to have life first, or to have a soul first... It's all uncertain. And those who get together, after having numerology, start to have five poisons, six delusions, seven emotions and eight sufferings, that is, start I can feel the warmth and coldness of the world, and have my own emotions and thoughts.”

After listening to Lan Lingxi, she began to have a different understanding of the current world. What Edina said seemed to open up a new world for her.

"And our ancestors of the Yuling tribe began to explore the mysteries of the soul little by little. In the continuous exploration, they became the only group in the world who can control the soul, but obviously, not all the Yuling tribe can control it. Soul, only those who are chosen and approved can truly control the soul in the world."

Hearing this, Lan Lingxi couldn't help but ask, "Is it because of a curse that we can't get out of here?"

But obviously this is not a topic that Edina wants to answer, and Edina is not angry that Lan Lingxi keeps asking this question, but he still emphasizes it.

"The most important thing for you now is not to understand the problems that you can't touch now, but to study hard with me."

"Okay." There was a little more determination in Lan Lingxi's eyes.

"Now that you have learned the basics of 'soul manifestation', I know that you have opened the door of life and death before, which is considered a good talent, and you can comprehend a little by yourself, but this is still far from enough."

"Next, I will teach you how to manipulate the souls of dead people. After you learn it, I will tell you more advanced things such as manipulating the souls of living people, resurrecting the dead, and even creating a living person."

These Hu sounds can make people get goosebumps.

But Lan Lingxi's face was still sincere, and there was no trace of panic in her heart.

Manipulation... the souls of the dead.

Can those wandering souls that I saw with my own eyes be controlled by me?

No wonder, Edina said before that they control the reincarnation of the world.

Lan Lingxi just found it unbelievable, now that the amount of information is a bit too large to digest, her eyes widened, revealing a bit of playfulness and alertness.

Edina, who was picking and picking bones, didn't know if she knew the fluctuations in Lan Lingxi's heart, but at this moment she suddenly said, "You go back first, and come to me in a few days."

At the end, he added, "I still have to find a suitable hand bone, and I don't have time to teach you yet."

Just as Edina finished speaking, Lan Lingxi kept a dumbfounded expression and returned to the forest in the eastern suburbs.

But there is no bone girl in front of him, and the location is still a little far away from the land of spirits.
