In Yuanshen, no one understands holy relics better than me

This guy!It's all critical, and I still have the mind to make a joke.

"Then what did you mean by the acquaintances around here?" Xia Tian patted Walnut's head vigorously.

As if some mechanism was touched, Hu Tao clutched her forehead and became honest all of a sudden: "Wu Wang Slope is the closest place to the reincarnation of life and death. There are many souls who are unwilling to leave here. Although I can't see them, I can let this The little guy communicates as a medium...he has come so many times, so of course he can be regarded as an acquaintance."

Hu Tao's eyes became indifferent, and it was rare to be worried: "It is said that the surroundings have become strange guys, and all the previous acquaintances have disappeared."

There is almost certainly something wrong with Wuwangpo.

Perhaps we can only use these people as bait according to what the immortal said, and find out the culprit of the mutation before things become serious...

Those ceremonial servants who followed didn't even have the eyes of God, so it would be too dangerous to become bait.

As for the lovely walnuts... I can't bear it even in summer.

In the end, I am the protagonist, and I am here to save the world. Who else can do this kind of thing except me?

"What did you mean when you said that I dare not have ghosts approach me because I have too much yang energy?" Xia Tian asked, if he was used as a bait, wouldn't it be a bad thing if he had too much yang energy?

""Yin and Yang" is Gu Liyue's other way of saying "life and death"..." Hu Tao crossed her arms and was happy to explain the meaning of life and death: "The body of a living person can absorb the essence from all things. These are the so-called The yang qi of the human body...and the soul without a body and unable to interact with the world, becomes the opposite yin side... Yin and yang are opposed to each other and do not interfere with each other, so they are safe for the time being. "

"Temporarily?" Xia Tian grasped the point.

Hu Tao nodded, looking at the sky, it was gray, and the moon and formation could not be seen: "Well, but if you haven't absorbed enough essence for a long time, such as sunlight, moonlight, etc., then the so-called yang energy will naturally It will become weak... When it becomes weak to a certain extent, it will be targeted by ghosts, swallowed or possessed."

"The lecherous big brother is so handsome, there must be many ghosts staring at him!" Standing on the stone, Hu Tao hit Xia Tian's waist with her hips that were not soft enough, but jokingly said, "Shall I help you find a beautiful girl?" What kind of ghost sister?"

Xia Tian made a gesture to hit again, Hu Tao hurriedly covered her head and closed her eyes... That appearance was too cute for people to strike.

"Then how can you be so relieved? Those who come with you, I'm afraid they won't last long?"

They are all ordinary people without the eyes of gods, so I'm afraid they can't help much.

Hu Tao raised two fingers: "Therefore, we have always stipulated in Xiangshengtang that we cannot stay in Wuwangpo for more than twelve hours."

Speaking of which, time can't be wasted any longer: "Stop talking, we have to prepare for the ceremony quickly, if big brother doesn't mind, come and help!"

help?Wouldn't it be carrying the coffin?

Chapter 460 Five Dead Liyue Seven Stars

In fact, I didn't ask Xia Tian to help, nothing more than picking up some dry firewood and stacking it on a special platform for burning.

Appears to be ready for cremation.

2000 years ago, at the end of the Demon God War, the plague raged among the villages with the invasion of evil spirits.

At that time, people were still accustomed to burial or water burial, which caused the earth and water to be polluted.

More and more people were infected, more and more people died, and the tragedy was repeated, and they fell into a desperate situation step by step.

Therefore, some people dared to risk the disapproval of the world, and proposed "cremation", a practice that violated the traditional thinking of the world, and finally convinced the officials and gods above.

The gods authorized the officials to organize a team of ceremonial ceremonies specializing in cremation, and the "Gangshengtang" was born.

Cremation is of course good, and Xia Tian is also a supporter of cremation.

But he was very surprised. Judging from Hu Tao's tone and words, the person in the coffin should be a very important figure, who may have a pivotal position in Li Yue.

Most rich and powerful people wish to build a palace as a tomb. What they pay attention to is the arrangement of noodles, and what they pay attention to is returning the bones to their hometown.

Xia Tian is really curious about a rich man who can be so open-minded and let people burn.

Out of respect for the deceased, he certainly wouldn't open it up to see it, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't recognize it.

Xia Tian touched Hu Tao and asked softly, "Who is this benefactor?"

Hu Tao also has a serious work side. She is preparing the eulogy to be used later, and is reciting with her eyes closed.

Hearing the question, he deliberately opened one eye.

"The Hall of Resurrection has a confidentiality agreement with its clients. How can it disclose the identity of the client at will? Besides, this client has always kept a low profile, and even the funeral didn't alarm too many people..."

One after another, Xia Tian nodded straightly, and even showed apology, sincerely realizing that he should not ask casually.

But then, Hu Tao suddenly changed his tone: "But this client shouldn't care, right?"

"Tell you quietly..." Hu Tao pouted her buttocks, crossed her hands, lay on Xia Tian's shoulders, raised her chin to his ear, her thin red lips were suspected of secretly kissing the pinna.

Between speaking and breathing, my ears were itchy.

"He is... Liyue Seven Stars!" Hu Tao deliberately elongated the tone.

"Liyue Seven Stars!?" Xia Tian's eyes widened and he almost shouted.

Turning to stare at the black coffin and the surrounding firewood... Liyue Qixing just burned like this?

In Xia Tian's cognition, the Liyue Seven Stars must be regarded as the level of a national leader. The death of a big boss of this level, not to mention the national mourning, is at least a big news.

Xia Tian has been in Liyue for so long, yet he has never heard of it?

"Hehe." Hu Tao laughed, and stretched out her finger to poke Xia Tian's cheek: "It's from the past, look at your frightened appearance, you don't look like a hero who saved Liyue at all!"

Xia Tian gave her a blank look: "Then make it clear, don't deliberately hide key information, and be careful of being accused of being a headline party."

writer of sensational headlines?Walnut couldn't understand.

She explained: "This old man is the last Liyue Seven Star. After he abdicated, he has been in poor health. It has been in pain for a long time."

Hu Tao touched the cold black coffin with both hands, feeling a little emotional: "Now I'm finally free, I'm really happy for him..."

...From a certain point of view, the death of this former Seven Star can indeed be regarded as a relief, but it is too awkward to be happy about this matter.

While Hu Tao was talking to Xia Tian, ​​she was still memorizing the eulogy.

Seeing that the hostess of honor had placed all the utensils used for the funeral, she stood up, raised the guard of honor in her hand, and greeted the accompanying hostess of honor: "Okay, get ready to start!"

The four hostesses obeyed the order, stood at the four corners of the black coffin, put their hands on the edge of the coffin lid, and pushed it down vigorously.

According to the custom, when burning, the lid of the coffin should be pushed halfway, so as to ensure that the flame can fully burn the inside.

Xia Tian didn't interfere with work matters, and went to the side honestly, looking at Hu Tao's serious appearance.

She takes death playfully and seriously.

The spear-like guard of honor is held in the hand, and the flame will light the top, then go to the surroundings to light the brazier, and finally return to the center.

The flames illuminated the surroundings, and one could see a shallow pool not far away, with blue flames floating above it.

call--

Suddenly, the wind picked up.

Those blue flames were instantly blown away, and the surrounding braziers for lighting were directly overturned.

Huhu——

The sound of "rustling" in the woods and the sound of the wind coming from the cave on the back of the mountain is like a baby crying.

Jie Jie——

It can be said that there are gusts of wind, which makes people fall down unavoidably.

These winds are very strange, they are not tailwinds from the same direction, but come from all directions... Their target, their meeting point, is the corpse of that great man.

Thinking of Hu Tao's saying that there are many souls around that ordinary people can't see and touch, are these illogical winds those souls?

So... are they trying to occupy that corpse?

This is a bit too scary, as if the original magical world has become a more complicated conjecture of gods and ghosts.

Looking at Hu Tao beside him, his usual playful smile has disappeared.

With a serious face, she immediately drove the flames, forcing a wall of fire to protect everyone.

Although the human body cannot see the soul body with the naked eye, the already detached elemental power can still threaten them.

"Are they planning to snatch the corpse?" Xia Kai asked, "Could it be that these resentful spirits who have wandered around for an unknown number of years can be resurrected?"

It is impossible to imagine, if this is really possible, what kind of chaos the world will be like, and how many terrible things will happen.

Hu Tao shook his head: "Corpse and soul are matched together. Even if they forcibly invade a strange human body, they cannot be stored for a long time. Naturally, there is no such thing as snatching, let alone a dead body..."

Saying that, but there was no relaxation on her face, she knew that things were not that simple: "Of course, this is just an ordinary soul..."

However, is the current scene really normal?

Still can't see the specific soul body, but can feel the resentment that fills the surroundings. These souls who have not passed away are unwilling to the world. They only need a little more negative energy to drive them crazy.

The pollution from the dark sea is the biggest negative energy.

What can they do now in Xia Tian?Is it just relying on elemental power to passively defend?

Hu Tao needs to consume a lot of magic power to maintain a circle of fire in this range, and she can no longer be distracted: "If it is true as the fairy said, there are other evil spirits that polluted these souls, then they must have some kind of conspiracy, right? Will come to deal with us who try to stop..."

"It seems that there is no need to wait..." Xia Tian stared straight ahead, staring at the shallow water just mentioned.

The light blue will-o'-the-wisps that originally floated on the lake swayed in the wind.

In the end, it turned into a human-shaped soul body.

Chapter 460 Six I Came to Be a Hero to Save the Beauty

The faint will-o'-the-wisps assume the human form, some are old and some are young, just judging from the scene, it really infiltrates people.

But in the end it is just a spirit body, between the virtual and the real, and has almost no fighting power.

As long as you don't get possessed inexplicably... In fact, even if you are possessed, it is a fight between souls. How can a lonely ghost fight against the self-awareness of a home game?

Therefore, their purpose is only the remains of the seven stars, or the infestation of evil spirits makes them think that after obtaining the remains, they can gain a short life, to resolve the unwillingness and resentment in their hearts...

A bunch of poor guys.

And Hu Tao, as the head of the Pastoral Hall, of course would not allow the client's remains to be violated.

She wants to maintain the reputation and honor of Xiangshengtang.

The painless and tireless spiritual body rushes towards the fire curtain unfolded by the walnut, and can see the rising white mist, which represents complete dissipation.

Spiritual bodies are not invincible, they can also be killed.

But what concept can a dead thing have when it comes to "death"?They were just invaded by evil thoughts, got hints from some strange things, and rushed towards them crazily.

Walnut holds the guard of honor like a spear tightly in his hand. The burning crimson flame is not only the elemental force driven by the eye of God, but also the "unrestrained fire" blessed by gods and immortals during the war of demons and gods, which can burn everything The fetters of "life".

The "Hall of Rebirth" is the "healer" of the dead, washing away all unclean things with blazing flames, and letting the filth and fire rise together to the high heaven that can accommodate everything.

This kind of ritual used to light firewood all over the mainland during the watering season, raising the smoke of praying for blessings and warding off evil spirits.

This fiery ritual was once popular in the age of ancient strife.

Because the delusions and dreams of the silent gods will turn into a vicious miasma attached to them, taking away the people who no longer belong to them and the Son of Man who never belonged to them.

At that time, the doctor who rescued the dying heard the murmur among the sound of boiling fat and dead grass cracking from the blazing fire at dusk.

"Only unbridled fire can purify the filth of heaven and earth."

"Please raise the firewood of vermilion, drive away all evil spirits."

The priests of the past generation hall held the demon red cane and ignited the things contaminated with evil.

Those who have been entangled in bad karma and disasters, and those who have not been able to bear the deep sorrow, will turn into ashes in the fire and be freed from all the misfortunes and sorrows of the troubled times.

And the doctor who ignited countless piles of firewood, legend has it, finally turned into smoke like a flying butterfly...

Even if this kind of ritual is forgotten with peace and time, in the presence of the dark Mingwei, those with fire in their hearts can always hear it.

The Dazzling Fire Dancer croons: Only unbridled fire can purify heaven and earth...

Over the years, Xiangshengtang has always kept this mission in mind.

Walnut, who is the No.70 Seventh Hall Master, holds the red firewood in his hand... the "Goma Stick" that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Hall of Death, representing the identity of the Hall Master.

The flame that has been passed down for thousands of years mercilessly evaporates the soul.

However, the number of spirit bodies has not decreased, but has a tendency to increase.

Walnut, who always smiles, has a painful face.

Not just because of the excess consumption, but also the grief at the loss of these souls.

The reason why the soul stays is because it still has expectations for the world, or unwillingness, or resentment, or love and grace...

When these expectations are either fulfilled, forgotten, or erased, the soul will be liberated and sublimated, entering reincarnation and entering the afterlife.
