The essence of runes is actually a kind of writing, but it is quite old, even from ancient times, and many of them have been lost.

Ancient writing is usually very obscure, and most of them are not perfect, unlike the fluent meaning of later characters.

An ancient text graphic may represent extremely rich meanings, and it cannot even be described in one sentence.

This is the most difficult part of runes to learn and understand, especially after crossing countless eras, the meaning of those runes is even more incomprehensible to anyone.

But the value of runes is different from that of text, and not all ancient texts can be called runes.

Text is used for communication and inheritance, and should be easy to write and understand.

Runes carry special power. Those strange lines and graphics are like a very precise circuit board, which can make spiritual power produce incredible changes in it.

This is a topic worth studying. Chu Yang feels that this kind of work is similar to that of a chip engineer.

There are many types of runes still in use now. The common runes in the underworld are collectively called Yinwen.

However, there are many types of Yinwen. This may be because there were many different tribes and schools in ancient times, and each had a different understanding of Yinwen.

The runes on the Soul-Capture Order are different from the common Yin characters, and seem to be older than the runes commonly used by the official underworld.

This shows that the Soul-Capture Order may not be a weapon made by King Qin Guang, and it may even have existed before the establishment of the underworld.

In fact, the history of the underworld is not long, including the Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Court was established after the Conferred God War, and the underworld came into being after the Heavenly Court.

Before that, there was no order in the underworld.

According to the myths and legends that Chu Yang knew, the underworld was originally only the Hell and the Yellow Spring, which was the initial scene of the creation of Hongmeng.

Later, Pangu opened the world, and a ball of dirty blood in his body fell into the underworld and turned into the Netherworld Blood Sea, which gave birth to the Styx Ancestor and bred the Asura clan. They were the only masters of the underworld.

The earliest hell did not have the function of reincarnation, nor was it the destination of the soul. It was just a pure world like the Qingxu Realm.

It was not until the war between the demons and witches that Hou Tu Niangniang incarnated into the six reincarnations in hell and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva made a great wish that the underworld gradually took shape and became a place for the reincarnation of souls.

It can be seen from this that the existence of the underworld is extremely ancient, and some of its items have existed long before the establishment of the underworld.

Chu Yang thinks that the Soul-Capture Order should also be such an item, but he doesn't know where King Qin Guang got it from and why he only gave this magic weapon to him.

There may be another meaning in it.

The runes on the Soul-Capture Order are different from the Yin runes commonly used by the official underworld, and Chu Yang can't understand them at all.

The same is true for the Killing Ghost Knife.

However, Chu Yang can infer the meaning of the runes on it based on the functions of the Soul-Capture Order.

For example, soul-capturing and imprisonment.

The runes that can produce these functions are already very powerful, and it is also worth Chu Yang's careful study.

But Chu Yang feels that this Soul-Capture Order is not as simple as it seems on the surface. After carefully observing the Soul-Capture Order, he found that it was actually incomplete.

This so-called Soul-Catching Order seems to be just a part of a magic weapon.

So, what would a complete magic weapon look like?

I'm afraid it would be a very powerful and terrifying innate spiritual treasure?

Chu Yang sighed slightly and began to study the broken Ghost-Killing Knife again.

There are not many runes on the Ghost-Killing Knife, unlike the Soul-Catching Order, which is engraved with fine runes from head to toe.

Most of its runes are concentrated on the blade, arranged in a string along the back of the blade.

It's just that because the blade has been broken, these runes are only half a sentence left.

Only half a sentence of runes left is not completely unusable, because sometimes a single rune can also work.

But this rune was a whole when it was engraved, just like a complete circuit.

Now that the circuit is interrupted in the middle, the single rune naturally cannot work.

Chu Yang wants to try to repair these runes, but he knows that this kind of thing is not as simple as imagined.

The structure of the rune is not just the strokes on the surface, because spiritual power is needed when engraving the rune. Those seemingly simple horizontal and vertical lines are as complex as the work of the photolithography machine.

Moreover, the runes used alone and the runes used in combination have great differences in details.

Depending on the combination, the engraving method of the same rune is also different.

Even with the Soul Capture Order as a reference, this repair project is extremely complex and arduous.

Chu Yang studied hard for a day, making himself dazzled, but still did not make any progress.

The next day, Chu Yang ran to the cave of the one-eyed dragon again.

"One-eyed boss, what do you think is the difference between killing ghosts and beheading souls? They seem to mean the same thing, right?"

"Of course there is a difference, these are two completely different names."

"Boring, I'm talking to you about a serious issue."

Chu Yang rolled his eyes.

The one-eyed dragon smiled proudly and said, "Hehehe, you want to ask what the difference is between the ghost-killing sword and the soul-severing sword?"

"That's about it."

"This question is actually very simple. The so-called ghosts can actually be divided into two concepts: ghosts and souls."

One-Eyed Dragon explained seriously: "There are many types of ghosts, such as the evil ghosts and resentful ghosts that are common in the world of the world. Most of them have no sanity, that is, they are incomplete, and they have ghosts but no souls."

"A pure ghost is incomplete. Ghosts and souls are indispensable."

"Incomplete ghosts cannot be reincarnated through normal procedures, so the Taoist priests in the world usually just kill those evil ghosts..."

"Hun, it's a little simpler...you should know about the three souls and seven souls, right?"

"The soul of heaven returns to heaven, the soul of earth wanders in the cemetery, and the soul of destiny returns to the underworld."

"After reincarnation, the three souls reunite and become strangers again."

"And the practice of ghost cultivators like us is to reunite the three souls, change our fate against the will of heaven, and seek perfection."

"The soul-cutting knife cuts three souls directly, which damages the enemy's foundation and destroys the enemy's cultivation. It can even completely cut off the enemy's path of cultivation and return him to his original form, reducing him to his original form."

"Being injured by the soul-cutting knife, even if the injury is not fatal, it may have extremely serious consequences and cannot be recovered."

"Selling such a brutal weapon for 10,000 points is actually not too much."

The one-eyed dragon sighed slightly: "Although the grade of this soul-cutting knife is not high and its power is average, for ordinary ghost cultivators like us, it can be regarded as a magic weapon - but we still can't afford it, so you can Don't think too much."
