Chapter 0681 The Living Soul
Black Phoenix felt as if she had fallen into deep water, with blurry sunlight above her head. She tried her best to float upwards, but could not move forward. Her breathing became more and more difficult, until she found that one of her feet seemed to be covered by water plants. Something got stuck.
Black Phoenix just wanted to survive. She raised her other foot and kicked it with all her strength, once, twice, three times... Finally she got rid of the restraints, rushed out of the water, breathed the fresh air, and saw the light. .
Then she remembered what had just happened.
Black Phoenix stood on the ground, and the first thing she saw was the tall demon statue, not far from her. It had lost its vitality and stood as dull as a sculpture.
She had owned the golem for less than half an hour, but Black Phoenix was so frustrated that she wanted to cry. No matter how beautiful her body was, she could not make up for the loss of leaving the golem. She missed the powerful power as if she had owned it for decades. memory.
She couldn't bear to look any further, so she turned around and was stunned.
There was actually a black phoenix in front of her, exactly like her, even the dazed expression was exactly the same. She immediately realized that this was a clone she had inadvertently created by casting a spell.
Black Phoenix breathed a sigh of relief and turned around, eagerly looking for Mu Xingqiu's whereabouts. No, it was Dao Zun. She secretly vowed to never make a mistake in naming her again.
The ground beneath his feet shook twice, and a moment later, Mu Xingqiu appeared on the edge of the cliff, with a crow on his shoulders and a group of humans behind him, all of whom seemed to be casual cultivators and talisman masters.
"Dao Zun." Black Phoenix used all his abilities on this sound, pitiful, extremely happy, regretful... In short, all the emotions that can make a man feel affection are included in it.
This move was so powerful that at least the casual cultivators and talisman masters were stunned. They fell on the ground with their mouths open in confusion. Several people staggered unsteadily and didn't even notice what was half a step behind them. Cliff, everyone has the same question in their mind: How could there be such a beautiful woman in the world? How could there be such a moving voice? And there are still two of them!
But Black Phoenix knew best that this trick was ineffective against Mu Xingqiu. As soon as she returned to her original body, she habitually used the charm technique, not really wanting to seduce the Taoist, "I understand! I've woken up. !”
Mu Xingqiu strode forward. After a few steps, he realized that none of the people behind him were following him. The bald man flew between the two black phoenixes in advance, "What do you understand?"
"The strong only join forces with the strong and ignore the weak. Wangshan Demonic Priest doesn't take me seriously at all. He just uses me and throws it away. But Dao Zun is different. Dao Zun is unique. Among the strong people in the world Only you don’t exclude weaklings like me, and even give me opportunities, but I don’t know how to cherish them..."
Hei Huang's face was filled with pear blossoms, and his voice was full of trembling regret. Dozens of people on the edge of the cliff all nodded their heads. If it weren't for the fear in their hearts, they would have really wanted to forgive the penitent beauty on Mu Xingqiu's behalf.
Mu Xingqiu was indifferent. In his eyes, the black phoenix was just an ordinary banshee. However, he noticed something very strange. He stopped and scanned the faces of the two black phoenixes, "This What's going on?"
"I accidentally cast the clone technique...I'll take her back right now."
"Wait a minute." Mu Xingqiu was well-informed, but he still found this matter a bit unbelievable, "There is something wrong with your clone."
Black Phoenix stared at his clone for a while, "It's a little strange. The clone should be consistent with me. How come she..."
The clone that had been standing still suddenly bent over and coughed violently. Black Phoenix suddenly realized, and then a cold feeling rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and he blurted out: "It's you!"
The clone swayed from side to side like a drunkard. After finally standing firm, he roared, "This is not me!"
As soon as this voice came out, the charm that enveloped the people on the cliff immediately disappeared. It turned out to be a man's voice, and it looked quite old.
After all, An Xiangxing's soul couldn't compete with the real owner, so he was forced to withdraw from the Black Phoenix demon body and entered the clone body inexplicably. He was not Lord Yishi, and he couldn't let the soul change bodies at will, so he could only be trapped here.
"This is mine!" Black Phoenix became angry. She didn't care about her demon body in the demon body, but now she didn't want to give even a hair to anyone else.
Black Phoenix casts a spell to take back the clone. This should be an easy task. It is much easier to take back the clone than to take back the clone. But she failed. The clone just staggered a few steps closer to her, but did not disappear.
"What on earth is going on?" Bald Man asked with a smile, thinking that the two black phoenixes with different voices were more interesting.
Mu Xingqiu could guess the general idea, but couldn't tell the specific reason. Heihuang and An Xiangxing had nothing to think about except fear, and stared at each other with hatred.
It was the crow who opened his mouth to explain.
The crow looked very young, with shiny black feathers, and a pair of eyes sparkling with intelligence. The voice coming out of its mouth was as hoarse as a pile of stones rubbing against each other in a bag, "Souls are not easily transferred. The Taoist priest's soul was already damaged when he entered the demon statue. He destroyed his original body with his own hands, turning his soul into sourceless water. A weak soul cannot survive independently. It happens that the clone does not have a soul, so it becomes. The place where the Taoist soul rests.”
"I see." Bald Man nodded seriously, "Hey, you are not a demon of souls. Can you change your body at will? Can you help him?"
"Hey, that's the profound magic that I spent nearly two thousand years to comprehend, and I suffered a lot for it. First, this magic must not be passed on to others, and second, he has no time to learn it. He is now no different from the soul of a dead person. After seven days, he will gradually lose his memory, and after forty-nine days, his soul will fly away."
Although the crow's voice is hoarse and unpleasant, it always reveals a kind of complacency, as if it holds the most and most important secrets in the world.
"The Taoist's soul is flying away, what about me?" Black Phoenix asked anxiously, and immediately added, "Lord Yi Shijun."
"It's a good thing for you. You can take back your clone. In fact, it's easy to take it back quickly. Just stay far enough away from the clone."
"That's right, the clone can't be too far away from me... At most three hundred miles, she will disappear." Black Phoenix glanced at the clone fiercely. If the clone disappears, he can create another one, so there is no need to regret it at all.
An Xiangxing was stunned. Such an expression on the face of the Black Phoenix clone can still charm a group of people, as long as he doesn't speak.
"I'm dead... I'm dead?" An Xiangxing couldn't believe this fact. He was once a Taoist priest of Xingluo, highly respected. Even after becoming a hermit, he still had followers. However, he died inexplicably and ridiculously. It was the latter point that made it difficult for him to accept, "Where is my inner elixir?"
"Of course it's still in the body of the golem." The crow answered again, moving left and right on Mu Xingqiu's shoulder. "The reason why the Taoist priests allowed you to merge with the golem was for an inner elixir. Now, the inner elixir belongs to the golem and no one can take it out."
Besides being stunned, An Xiangxing was struck by lightning again, "I'm so stupid... How could I... How could I believe Long Mo and Qian Xiaoyao?"
Mu Xingqiu knew why, but felt There was no need to say it, but the crow had no sympathy at all, "Because they know the magic of the demon clan, because your Taoist heart has long been broken, and most importantly, you are greedy and stupid."
An Xiangxing couldn't refute a word, "Let me die."
"You are already dead, it just happened that there is a body for you to stay for a few days." The crow was not deliberately making fun of it or being cruel by nature, but was used to telling the truth, "You are very, very lucky. Most of the dead don't have your chance encounter. The soul can only float back and forth in the place where the flesh died, and can't see or hear anything."
An Xiangxing was shocked, and remembered that the soul of his companion Guo Dongyou was now "floating in the Demon King's Palace". He couldn't help but blacked out and almost fainted.
Mu Xingqiu couldn't help An Xiangxing, and didn't want to help. He turned and walked towards those casual cultivators and talisman masters. The crow flew from his shoulder and landed on the bald man's head, and continued to talk about all kinds of knowledge about souls, regardless of how terrified and depressed the listeners were.
Mu Xingqiu walked up to a young man, "Are you the grandson of the emperor, Fu Ci?"
The young man had a delicate appearance, but his eyes were bright and sharp. Facing the charm of the black phoenix, he was the only one who showed resistance.
Fu Ci straightened his clothes and nodded solemnly, "Yes, I am Fu Ci. So you are Taoist Mu Xingqiu."
Fu Zi did not say "I have heard of you for a long time" or thank him for saving his life, which made Mu Xingqiu look at him with new eyes and admire the vision of the princess of Xijie Kingdom even more. "Leave Sheshen Kingdom immediately and don't negotiate anymore. The Sheshen King has taken the demon seed and will never submit to the Holy Fu Dynasty again."
"Some Sheshen Kingdom nobles, including several princes, have seen the changes in the Sheshen King. They will soon launch a palace coup."
"If you believe me, don't participate in this palace coup and leave Sheshen Kingdom as quickly as possible." The information Mu Xingqiu got from the Dragon Demon was disturbing, but he couldn't say more details.
The grandson Fu Ci thought for a while, "There are still a large number of humans imprisoned in the four towns of Tuoshan and some cities..."
"I can't guarantee anything, but I will try my best to find a way."
Fu Ci took the lead in offering the talisman and flew up, saying in the air: "I owe Taoist Mu a life-saving favor, and I will always remember this."
Mu Xingqiu nodded and watched everyone leave. Several casual cultivators and talisman masters looked back at the black phoenix reluctantly.
The crow flew to Mu Xingqiu's shoulder, "An Xiangxing is a Taoist from the Cave Mansion Department. He has read a lot of books. Some of his memories should be very interesting. I decided to take him with me and find a way to extend his awake time."
"Okay, let's set off immediately to meet Zuo Liuying, and then go to Zhibubang." According to Mu Xingqiu's estimation, the tiger talisman master Gao Fuwei will recover all his memories, and he must act as soon as possible.
The black phoenix hesitated behind Mu Xingqiu. She wanted to follow Mu Xingqiu, but also wanted to leave alone, and she was hesitant.
"Come with me, your clone technique may be useful in the future." Mu Xingqiu said. He hadn't thought it through completely, but An Xiangxing's soul being implanted in the Black Phoenix clone did give him some inspiration.
