I want to embrace the moon for nine days

The leading gangster had several long knives pierced through his body. He groaned and died on the spot.

Su Hanshan noticed something strange.

Generally speaking, after a person dies, the brain stops functioning, and the fluctuations in mental thoughts will undergo a rapid weakening and disintegration process, just like ice melting and snow melting, and finally disappear in complete chaos.

However, when the leading gangster died, the thought waves did not completely collapse and were lost to the surrounding environment.

But just when there were signs of disintegration, it suddenly flashed and disappeared.

It didn't look like real death at all, but like someone had stolen the scattered soul.

But Su Hanshan's mental magnetic field has been shrouding the surroundings, and he didn't even notice where the soul was stolen.

This gave him a chill.

"I heard these gangsters talking just now. They are all used to magic and magic weapons, so they shouldn't be careless."

Su Hanshan's attitude was cautious, and with a change of thought, he made the remaining gangsters fly in the air involuntarily, with their limbs flaccid.

He led the group of people in a low-altitude flight, leaving no trace on the snow, and all the smells along the way were swept away.

After arriving a few miles away, I saw a cave and landed in it.

There is a hibernating blind bear in this cave. Because of the cold weather, the smell in the cave is not very pungent.

Su Hanshan landed directly on Xiong Xiongzi's back. At this moment, the joints of this small body were already somewhat loose. It could feel more comfortable when encountering Xiong Xiongzi's warm body temperature.

The gangsters fell into the cave with confused looks in their eyes.

Along the way just now, Su Hanshan wrapped his thoughts around them while they were flying, and they continued to penetrate into his brain.

Using the Great Compassionate Heart Seal Dharani, the spiritual power realized is soft and hard in nature, moistening things silently, and bewitching their spirits.

Compared with the previous forced interrogation and rough intimidation and hypnosis, this method now allows these gangsters to recall all kinds of memory details that they usually cannot remember, and tell them in an orderly manner.

It turns out that this is the Song Dynasty, which can be roughly regarded as the background of the Northern Song Dynasty, as well as the Liao Kingdom and Xixia.

But the situation was much more complicated than the world of the Southern Song Dynasty that Su Hanshan had read about in books or visited in person.

In addition to the Song, Liao, and Xia dynasties, there are also Guifang, Qurong, Shiwei, Tubo, Tianzhu, Tiele, Chidi, Dingling, Jurchen, Meng Shu, Liao Guo, Zhaowu, Nan Huai, Luwei, Yutu, etc., hundreds of countries, large and small.

The place where Su Hanshan is now located is the Purple Mountain outside Jinling City in the Song Dynasty.

Three groups of bandits were squatting among the peaks. They selected Toutuo Mountain, Xiaomao Mountain, and Tianbao Mountain respectively, and built large-scale construction and camps on the tops of these three peaks.

He also recruited some bandits, brutal people, and occasionally gangsters from everywhere. Hearing about his reputation, he came to seek refuge, and the government did not come to encircle and suppress him. He has been at ease for more than ten years and is very happy.

The head of Wushao Village on Toutuo Ridge is called Black Toutuo. No one knows his real name. He looks about fifty years old and has superb martial arts. He mainly practices whipping techniques on weekdays.

In addition, he knows how to drive away birds, poisonous snakes, collect miasma and other spells.

I have never heard of anyone who knows how to restrain souls.

"From their description, Heitoutuo's strength is barely considered true. Before the siege of Jinling deputy general Niu Guocheng, three cottages were dispatched together to search and intercept him."

Su Hanshan has subtle thoughts.

The leading gangster's scattered thoughts just disappeared suddenly. If the cause is not Heitutuo, there are two situations.

For one thing, it may be some special phenomenon belonging to this world.

Secondly, it may be related to the people behind the three copycats.

Yes, although these gangsters themselves don't know who is behind the cottage, they also mentioned a lot of strange things.

For example, the combined number of people in these three villages is nearly 10,000. They are not far apart from each other, but they have almost never attacked each other.

They often sent out small groups to rob caravans and wreak havoc on villages and towns, but the little they got back was not enough to cover their daily needs for the whole village.

Rather than going out to rob homes and plunder homes, it is better to say that they are taking turns practicing and training.

Most of the daily consumption in the village is supplied by a group of mysterious forces.

During the rare large-scale operations, some high-profile people came to the stronghold to discuss traveling together.

In response to the incident involving Jinling's deputy general Niu Guocheng, the three major cottages were dispatched together to search the mountains and cut off roads. They cooperated tacitly and laid out cordons in an orderly manner.

After Niu Guocheng died, even a four or five-year-old child insisted on seeing the body.

This is also because the people behind the copycat issued orders similar to eradicating the roots.

Su Hanshan asked again about the deeds of the more famous masters in the entire Jinling world, and he had some ideas in his mind.

But relying on such rumors alone, it is impossible to grasp the exact combat strength. Ask these gangsters again, but they don't even know what realms they have in their own practice.

Su Hanshan sat silently for a while, waiting for the child's skin to gradually regain its elasticity and the complexion to become healthy and rosy, then he stood up and moved his joints.

The bear, frightened by his thoughts, fell into a deep sleep and did not react even if a child stood and walked around on it.

"This body is still too weak."

Su Hanshan's martial arts golden elixir could have mobilized the vitality of heaven and earth at two levels.

The vitality currently belonging to the Xuantai level cannot be used rashly. Even the 100% inert vitality belonging to the normal golden elixir level can only be used at 50% to 60%.

This is thanks to his management of the Five Thunder Dreams and his understanding of the mysteries of earth energy. He has already gained a lot, and his vitality cultivation has become more profound and stable.

You must know that the ordinary golden elixir masters in the Taibai Divine Tree World usually have their three dantians scattered, and they can only form a golden elixir when facing a battle.

It is because the mere existence of the golden elixir has already put a huge burden on their bodies.

And even if you are in the golden elixir, or Xuantang realm, you cannot change your body casually.

Su Hanshan was able to control Situ Yuntao's body in the first place because Situ Yuntao had left eight hundred Flowing Cloud Fire Talisman in his body for maintenance.

Now being able to resurrect the corpse in this child's body is thanks to the secret of the Tai Chi mark being triggered when it crosses the boundary.

This means that he cannot take the initiative to change into a physical body that is stronger than a child before the real body arrives.

"Anyway, I have the golden elixir to supply energy, and the realm is sufficient. Let's temper this child's body as soon as possible."

Su Hanshan gradually awakened the meridians in his body and practiced them first. He felt that his strength was smoother, and then he looked at the gangsters.

"Now, let me try again to find out what is going on with your souls."

That time just now, he just observed with his mind.

This time, his body was able to move, and he used the secret method of physical visualization, spiritual visualization, and dual visualization.

And replace the object of visualization with the thirty-two Bodhisattva protector images in the "Great Compassionate Heart Seal Dharani".

"It is the store of light, because all Buddha natures are illuminated by the light; it is the store of compassion, because Dharani always saves souls..."

"This is the treasure of wonderful Dharma, because it covers all the Dharani gates; it is the treasure of meditation, because hundreds of thousands of samadhis are always present..." "This is the treasure of fearlessness, because the good gods of dragons and gods always protect it; this is the treasure of wonderful words, because the Dharani is in the mouth The sound is not cut off..."

Su Hanshan's fair little face glowed like pearls, and her complexion looked even cleaner and healthier.

The child's voice is full of childishness, and the fingers are soft. When forming the seals, there is a natural innocence. With a little effort, the tips of the fingers will turn bright red, and the effect of physical visualization is pure.

The dark night snow outside the cave is still cold and deserted. Looking into the cave from the outside, nothing can be seen.

However, when Su Hanshan's thirty-two types of handprints were all transformed, the entire cave was already emitting a bright, clear light.

Even the hair on the blind bear's body became crystal clear and free of dirt.

In Su Hanshan's eyes, those gangsters' clothes first became transparent, and then their skin and flesh became transparent, leaving only their skeletons.

Then through the skull, you can see the outline of the brain and the spiritual consciousness running in the brain.

The four-year-old child sat on the bear, as if he were sitting under the Bodhi tree, in a cool country, with a gold floor, crystal inlays, eyes as bright as gold, and a slight scolding in his mouth.

These gangsters died suddenly on the spot.

When they feel the death of their bodies, their souls and thoughts decline sharply and become scattered, and then suddenly disappear.

Dual visualization inside and outside, all thirty-two Dharma seals.

Su Hanshan finally caught the strange aura this time, and his thoughts came naturally. He then adjusted the same frequency and quietly passed it to explore.

After that ray of thought was adjusted, I immediately felt a pull, a feeling of falling and settling, passing through the unknown barrier.

The next moment, Su Hanshan's mind observed the endless dim world.

The bodies of the gangsters who died just now were translucent and floating next to Su Hanshan.

They seemed to have retained their intact souls, but their faces were dull and expressionless, and they were muttering something incomprehensible to others.

As they continued to recite, their expressions of confusion became more intense, and the human-shaped souls curled up one after another and turned into several balls of green fire.

Su Hanshan found that thoughts seemed to be easily preserved in this place.

Maybe the strength of an ordinary person's thoughts can be retained here for more than a hundred years after leaving the physical body.

This is very strange, even the Tianxin consciousness in the martial arts world is far from reaching this level.

The will of heaven in the world of martial arts and the sea of ​​subconsciousness of all living beings are ultimately based on living beings.

Once a living person dies, the remaining thoughts will soon become rigid, and the will of heaven will gradually return to the state of being symbiotic with wood and stone, without feeling or consciousness.

Therefore, after the population of Wude World dropped sharply, most of the sea of ​​subconsciousness of all living beings was already lifeless.

However, if in this strange space, there are more people dying, I am afraid that it will become more lively in a few hundred years.

However, in this unfamiliar space, while it is easy to retain the activity of thoughts, it is also easier to become scattered.

In other words, their souls will disintegrate and die early, and the remaining fire of thoughts will no longer be the original person.

Su Hanshan tried his best to keep his thoughts calm and stable.

He has no experience in this area, and always feels that there are many stagnations in extending the body's spirit from the cave to this inexplicable space.

It's like a big desert here, with very serious dust and haze.

But the scenery is not monotonous, because there are countless green will-o'-the-wisps floating in the haze in the distance.

Su Hanshan just moved slightly to a certain direction to observe more.

Some of the will-o'-the-wisps in that place suddenly flickered and turned into human forms.

Some had broken necks, heads held in hands, and tongues in their mouths swollen, as if they were holding a red bead. Some were covered in blood, with arrows stuck all over their bodies, like a big hedgehog.

There were many figures, some thick and some light, but no one looked like a living person.

Perhaps because they sensed Su Hanshan's gaze, the figures swayed and floated towards this side.

As soon as they moved, the nearby dust and haze also surged. More will-o'-the-wisps were affected by the haze, and most of them became dimmed and drifted with the tide.

Some of them were stimulated to expand, and from the will-o'-the-wisps, brilliant colors like the aurora emitted.

Roaring mixed with wails, the deformed will-o'-the-wisps formed the appearance of a dilapidated cottage, a palace, or a building.

Shadowy people are among these buildings, shouting and running around, as if they are experiencing the most unforgettable event in their lives.

The haze surged faster after being disturbed by this kind of interference.

Su Hanshan's thoughts were suddenly swallowed up and lost.

"It turns out it's the underworld!"

In the cave, Su Hanshan's eyes flickered, and he raised his hand to rub his eyebrows.

When he was finally hit by the haze, he also captured some information.

The underworld of this world does not seem to have the comprehensive order of the underworld as in the legend.

Not to mention things like the Judge of Hell’s Book of Life and Death, I didn’t even see the impermanence of black and white, or the heads and faces of bulls and horses.

Such a world is certainly more troublesome than the normal martial arts world, but it has already filled Su Hanshan with deep curiosity.

"It's hard to make a plan if you're not familiar with the place. You still need to know more about the situation."

Su Hanshan pulled the yellow cloud flag and saw that there were hundreds of cinnabar-colored talismans of various sizes drawn on the yellow cloth. He pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure out how to use it.

Simply pouring in a burst of skill, the entire flag cloth shook like an iron plate and spread flat in the air.

The child's body jumped up, pulled by his vitality, and flew out of the cave, heading straight for Toutuo Ridge.

At this moment, celebrations were taking place on Toutuo Ridge.

This mountain village is built with tight barriers. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are checkpoints everywhere, including trenches, arrow towers and suspension bridges.

Most of the people in the village were dressed in uniform and armed with steel knives, spears, and bows and arrows. They were clearly an army rather than a group of bandits.

Even though the lights are brightly lit inside the cottage, and the aroma of wine and meat wafts for miles, there are still people patrolling the mountains.

There are even a lot of people outside, braving the cold and freezing weather, to continue searching for the little boy who started a family in Niu Kingdom. On weekdays, rewards and punishments must be clear and disciplined.

It's just that it's hard to think deeply about eating people's hearts and livers as a common thing while maintaining strict discipline.

A piece of yellow cloth high in the sky looks extremely small, flying through the clouds and over the top of the mountain.
