Chapter 1473: Zhou Wu's Remnant Soul

Cecilia said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, the man I like should be the best. If Chen Rong has no feelings for you, it is abnormal."

Bai Xiaowen let out a small breath, thinking silently in his heart, if Shuyi also had the mentality of Cecilia, it would be... boring.

The fun of a handsome man is so simple, boring and boring.

Cecilia returned to the topic: "This heroic task, even the Qing faction themselves can't find the murderer, are you sure?"

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "First of all, no matter whether I can complete this task or not, by accepting the task, I have already got the opportunity to open up the situation within the Shangqing faction, which is not a loss. Anyway, if the task cannot be completed, there will be no penalty." , it will definitely be picked up.”

After a pause, Bai Xiaowen continued: "As for whether this task can be completed, I am also certain. The soul of the murdered disciple named Zhou Wu has been absorbed into the Black Soul Stone... Oh no, it should be called 'Reaper' It's inside the 'mask."

After killing the lurking Death Incarnation Nigel, the function of the Black Soul Stone (Reaper's Face) has changed a lot.

And there is an inconspicuous function among them, that is, when absorbing the soul of the strong, it is not limited to Bai Xiaowen killing it himself.

Of course, this kind of absorption method also has certain limitations, that is, there is an instinctive resistance to the absorption of the face of death.

Only the soul that was weaker than Bai Xiaowen in life is powerless to resist the attraction.

Those strong men who were stronger than Bai Xiaowen during their lifetime were able to resist the absorption of the face of death. Unless the strong man himself was killed by Bai Xiaowen, he couldn't resist.

Bai Xiaowen has fully mastered the functions of the Black Soul Stone, so he can naturally consume a certain amount of soul essence to preserve the memory of this strong man during his lifetime.

Of course, it was also because Bai Xiaowen arrived at the scene not too long after Zhou Wu's death. If time dragged on for too long, Zhou Wu's soul would disappear by itself, and he would not be able to attract him with the face of the god of death.

Bai Xiaowen then chose to extract Zhou Wu's soul, and soon a phantom with an ignorant expression appeared.

Note that what is absorbed here is only the remnant soul, which is different from the soul that was absorbed from Kitts back then. Kitz was absorbed voluntarily, so his soul is complete and he can communicate with the outside world through normal methods; Zhou Wu was definitely not absorbed voluntarily, and his strength was not weak during his lifetime, which caused his soul to be broken during the pulling.

Zhou Wu's remnant soul can't see or hear real things or sounds, so it's impossible to ask them with ordinary questioning methods, unless Qiao Rui's soul whisperer ability is available.

However, Bai Xiaowen has his own way of communicating with the soul absorbed by the face of death. He closed his eyes slightly, and a sliver of spiritual consciousness led him over, penetrating into Zhou Wu's soul memory.

In Zhou Wu's sea of ​​consciousness, fragments of memory fluttered gently like fireflies, among which the bright fireflies were deep memories, while the dim fireflies were meaningless shallow memories.

Bai Xiaowen quickly came into contact with memory fragments one by one.

Zhou Wu's life was also gradually outlined in his mind.

Entering the Shangqing sect with a teacher from a young age, first stand out among the outer disciples, and stand out in the competition of outer disciples...

A senior sister from the outer sect admired Zhou Wu, but was rejected by Zhou Wu...

After entering the inner sect, Zhou Wuqin studied hard and became a new star of the Shangqing sect. Every time he competes in martial arts, he always improves...

The daily life with the inner disciple brothers,

The contradictions and frictions that arise during cultivation...

Bai Xiaowen quickly let go of these memories that had nothing to do with solving the case.

In the end, a group of extremely bright memory fragments was captured by Bai Xiaowen's spiritual consciousness, and then penetrated into it.

【Well, this should be Zhou Wu's last memory fragment before his death. 】

As before, Bai Xiaowen's "perspective" quickly changed to that of Zhou Wu, just like watching a first-person perspective movie, it is impossible to make any changes in perspective.

Moreover, the perspectives of the scenery are also some clear and some blurred, which is related to Zhou Wu's attention tendency at that time. What he noticed, his memory was very clear; what he ignored, his memory was very vague.

Zhou Wu at this moment should be concentrating on cultivation in the quiet room.

Suddenly, the perspective turned to the door.

After a short pause, the door opened, and a disciple of the Shangqing sect with a slender face who looked like a monkey walked in.

When the monkey talked to Zhou Wu, Bai Xiaowen could only see the monkey's mouth opening and closing, just like watching a silent movie.

Then, from the first perspective, Zhou Wu followed the monkey out the door.

Make three turns and two turns, and stop in a secluded and dark place.

Then the monkey turned around, suddenly showed a look of astonishment, and pointed behind Zhou Wu.

[This clumsy deception can actually work? 】Bai Xiaowen complained secretly.

However, Zhou Wu, as an elite disciple of the inner sect and a seed player of the Dao Discussion Conference, naturally did not look back, but immediately urged the Yuanli body protection. From the first perspective, you can see the shining white light activated by Yuanli.

However, a hand stuck to the back of Zhou Wu's neck from behind, extending softly and bonelessly.

The memory screen fluctuated greatly, obviously Zhou Wu was in extreme astonishment and panic.

Then the screen suddenly went black.

Bai Xiaowen opened his eyes.

Zhou Wu's remnant soul has disappeared and returned to the content of the god of death.

"Have you found a clue?" Cecilia leaned over, "It took a long time this time, and it's almost dawn."

Bai Xiaowen said: "There are not many clues. We only found a disciple who is suspected to be an inner ghost of the Shangqing Sect. We didn't see the face of the real murderer."

Bai Xiaowen then told Cecilia the last memory fragment scene.

"That murderer is very powerful," Bai Xiaowen said, "Zhou Wu's consciousness is actually very good, and he has activated Yuanli body protection. But the other party seems to have ignored his Yuanli and directly broke his neck... Conservative estimates, At least you have to be a master at the level of Elder Tang, so you can ignore Zhou Wu's body-protecting energy and kill directly."

Cecilia said: "The disciple of the Shangqing School who looks like a thin monkey should be the key point. Judging from the last memory, he was the one who tricked Zhou Wu out and let that person kill him."

Bai Xiaowen said: "The motive of the murderer is still unclear. And we need evidence... Zhou Wu's remnant soul is not suitable as direct evidence."

"Why?" Cecilia wondered, the Shangqing faction should have the means to communicate with the remnant souls.

Bai Xiaowen said: "Detaining the soul is an evil method in the eyes of the ancient Chinese decent sect. Just like the western magic world, the undead spell is regarded as a taboo. I hand over Zhou Wu's remnant soul. Although it can help the Shangqing faction find clues, But what good is it for me? Not only is it not good, but I may even be kicked out of the Shangqing sect as a demon!"
