Chapter 359 The Lost Mission

I said yes, stepped forward, and respectfully offered three sticks of incense to God Nuwa.

God Nu Wa led Renjie to quell the invasion of evil spirits, and at the cost of burning their lives, refining stones made up the passage for the invasion of evil spirits.

Such a "god" is worthy of worship.

After the worship, the temple spirit took the initiative to ask: "How is the collection of the three artifacts going?"

"The Biluo Bell has been collected, and now there are still a few remaining wheel beads and the Fantian Seal of the Nine Star Wheel." I said.

"Okay, this is more than half of the collection." Miao Ling was relieved, and then asked: "If you have any questions, just ask, and I will try my best to answer."

"Have you ever seen an evil spirit?" I asked.

The temple spirit was here at the end of the mythical age, more than 3000 years ago, which is almost equivalent to the history of civilization with accurate records in the East.

For such a long period of time, even if it has been awakened for an average time, it will be one or two thousand years. Since the evil spirits have been plotting the three artifacts, they should not miss this place.

In other words, it should have seen evil spirits.

Of course, whether you recognize it or not is another matter.

The temple spirit obviously hesitated for a moment, and calmly said: "I have seen it."

"What exactly are evil spirits?" I hurriedly asked, this matter must be clarified, because it is related to my own safety, and it is also related to the whereabouts of Feng Tianyin.

"Evil spirits are a kind of spirit that is good at possession. Unlike ghosts and evil spirits, which are easy to detect, it is difficult to detect the possession of evil spirits, and the longer the possession time, the harder it is to identify." Miao Ling said.

"How to say?" I asked, it obviously didn't finish.

"Evil spirits are essentially evil spirits, which are essentially the same thing as the souls of humans and animals. Once they possess a person, it is difficult to distinguish whether it is the evil spirits that are controlling them or their own souls. And As time goes on, the evil spirits will even devour the possessed human and animal souls and replace them, and it will be even more difficult to distinguish at that time." Miao Ling said slowly.

"So evil?"

I heard a chill down my spine.

It is unimaginable that evil spirits can replace human souls for a long time. If that is the case, everyone around you may be evil spirits.

Their souls have long been devoured by the evil spirits, but instead they have become puppets controlled by the evil spirits, but they cannot tell the difference at all.

"That's why they are called evil spirits."

Miao Lingdao paused for a moment, and then said: "In the war against evil spirits that Nuwa Tianshen put down, the evil spirits possessed humans and beasts, and even many powerful heroes and beasts were possessed. , If people who don’t know the truth see it, they will mistakenly think that it is a large-scale civil war.”

I nodded, no wonder Goddess Nvwa wants to seal off the passage for the evil spirits to invade, because once the evil spirits sneak into the world and lurk in the world, it is very difficult to find them.

I don't even know where it is, who it controls, and when it exploded.And this is probably the fundamental reason why the human world is no longer able to resist the invasion of evil spirits after Nuwa Tianshen put down the chaos.

Because this is completely an asymmetrical war.

An evil spirit occupies a powerful person, and then controls the person to fight another person. Once it succeeds, it is equivalent to killing two people. Even if it fails, it is just a tie.

If things go on like this, no matter how powerful the world is, it will be crushed.

Besides, it is very difficult to identify the evil spirits after they have been possessed for a long time. It is simply too convenient to spy on information, sabotage secretly, and sow dissension.

"Is it true that the evil spirits cannot be discerned?" I asked hastily.

"Yes." Miao Ling said, and said: "Illuminate the soul, take out the soul possessed by the evil spirit, if the evil spirit has not swallowed the human soul, you can find the clue."

"What if it is swallowed?" I asked.

"It depends on the situation, some can be distinguished, some cannot be distinguished, because after the evil spirit devours the human soul, it will gradually become closer to the human soul, and it will be difficult to find the clues after a long time; of course, everything has disadvantages, I want you to be strong enough and your senses sharp enough to detect clues even if you don’t use the soul. After all, evil spirits are evil spirits, and it is impossible for them to completely replace the human soul. As for the method, it is complicated and there is no uniform standard. There are many kinds of evil spirits." Miao Ling said slowly.

I was relieved after listening, as long as I can still distinguish, the method is always more than the difficulty, isn't it.

After a pause, I asked again: "Then what's going on with the soul?"

"I don't know about this. I just heard about this method. I learned about it when I was chatting with your ancestors. I haven't seen it before." Miao Ling said.

I am a little disappointed, but I can understand that it is not human after all. It has lived in Jinpen Mountain for a long time, and most of the things have been heard or never seen.

But at the same time, I also keenly noticed that it said it was also a guardian of the tomb, not a guardian of the spirit.

So I asked for proof: "What is the relationship between the guardian of the tomb and the guardian of the spirit?"

Miao Ling paused, and said: "These two names are correct for you, but the identity of the spirit guardian is more secretive. There is only one family of spirit guardians, that is, you and your ancestors, and the guardian of the tomb has one family. The three families are Meng, Cao, and Feng; the Meng family is also the guardian of the tomb and the guardian of the spirit, and is the head of the three families."

I suddenly realized that this was the case.

The Meng family is the head of the three families. It is no wonder that the Meng family has been a scholarly family and a leader for generations. Compared with the Cao family and the Feng family, it is obviously much more prominent.

And from the perspective of divine punishment, the Meng family is even more powerful.

Because the Meng family has always had a small population, even for a long time, it has been passed down from generation to generation. Compared with the current population of the Cao family and the Feng family, the gap is not a little bit.

"The tomb guard, what kind of tomb is it?" I was a little surprised, the name sounds like a job of guarding the tomb.

Before, I always thought that the guardian of the mausoleum made a mistake and called the spirit a mausoleum. Looking at it now, it is not that simple.

"Maybe, it's the tombs of the gods, I'm not very clear." The temple spirit sighed, and it only knew a vague idea about some things.

"The tomb of the gods?"

I was shocked in my heart, and my eyes moved to the statue of Nuwa. Could it be that Nuwa was buried in the same place as other gods after her fall?
For example... the spirit world?
Together with this idea, I immediately felt that it was not impossible.

Nuwa sealed off the passage through which evil spirits invaded the human world, and that passage is called the spirit world, and that Nuwa might end up in the spirit world forever and bury herself there.

The most direct evidence is that there is no theory about Nuwa's whereabouts in the world, and there are almost no legends.The Goddess Nuwa disappeared after mending the sky, which means that there is no mausoleum in the world, otherwise there would be no explanation for Nuwa's whereabouts.

Speaking of the gods, I thought of the Shenao who was suppressed under Jinpen Mountain, that is, the magic dragon mentioned by the asterisk number.

Last time it summoned me and wanted me to be its servant, it blurted out a curse: all evils are gods, humble creatures.

This is the second time I have heard the name of the gods. There is no doubt that this must be a group of outstanding people headed by Nuwa Tianshen.

The so-called god is actually just a title for the strong, just like king, emperor, and emperor, not the omnipotent "god" that people say today.In essence, it is the powerhouses in the cultivation world, or the cultivation world. At present, it is more appropriate to say "heroes" rather than gods.

Shen'ao's limbs were cut off by Nuwa, the god of heaven. Legend has it that they were used to support the heaven and the earth, because the pillar "Buzhou Mountain" between the heaven and the earth was broken.

This statement is definitely wrong, Shenao's limbs are definitely not used to support the sky and the earth, but to block the passage of evil spirits.

Nu Wa must have encountered difficulties in the process of blocking, or an accident, otherwise she would not have cut off Shen'ao's limbs in a hurry.

After all, Shen'ao had no faults. Forcibly cutting off the limbs of this kind of god is against the harmony of heaven.And this is also the root cause of Shenao's resentment soaring to the sky and turning into a dragon.

No one knows what happened when the passage of the evil spirits was blocked. There is no doubt that it will never be smooth sailing. Since the evil spirits have been conspiring to seize the world, they cannot sit idly by and will definitely sabotage.

The fall and disappearance of Nuwa and the gods, and the hasty cutting of Shen'ao's limbs for emergency response are all accidental results.Even the existence of spirit guardians and mausoleum guardians is a continuation of this result.

The ancestors of the three families of Meng, Cao and Feng may have accepted the will of Nuwa, and they have been guarding the foot of Tiantai Mountain, and have been passed down from generation to generation.

But, time is the power to change everything.

The secrets far away in the age of mythology are gradually buried in the long river of history, and only one name remains in our generation.

No one knows what kind of accident happened at the beginning, and no one knows the real mission of the spirit guardians and tomb guards; history is full of fog, and it will take time to unravel all this.

And it made me a little confused, is there some kind of connection between the great changes in the world and the blocking of the passage of evil spirits by the Goddess Nuwa?
