Chapter 0876 Collector
The golden lake bottom formed by the brass magic weapon has disappeared. It is said that it was destroyed by the demon clan that occupied Duanliu City back then. It was replaced by ordinary aquatic plants. Fish and shrimps have flourished because of this. They are swimming around under the water more than on the surface. The people who go boating are even more relaxed and contented.
Mu Xingqiu and Mr. Qin were kicked out of Xizhao Tower. No amount of gold and silver was worth a word from the powerful, not to mention that they could no longer take out larger pieces of gold and silver from their bags. Xizhao Tower was about to welcome During the busiest business hours, two odd customers, one old and one young, had to give up their rooms.
Mu Xingqiu didn't care. He didn't think Xizhao Tower was very attractive. He was happy to leave that small room filled with the smell of alcohol.
Mr. Qin didn't care either. Preparing flowers to make medicine is a business that can be carried out year after year and day after day. However, appreciating flowers is about capturing a momentary feeling. Once captured, the feeling disappears. The aroma of the wine had become so strong that it was getting closer and closer to the vomit of a drunkard. The two singers also lost their graceful postures while waiting in boredom, and their waists were bent like grilled shrimps. They really couldn't stand these two things. The eccentricity of famous guests, determined to show others the least beautiful face.
"Beauty cannot last, it is eternal in change." Mr. Qin was sitting on the bow of the boat. A few steps away, Mu Xingqiu was rowing the oars himself. The little silver he had left was only enough to hire a small boat. Mr. Qin Not complaining, "This is the beauty of reincarnation. I experience the most beautiful part of life in the process of being reborn over and over again, and then escape in time before it becomes hateful."
Life is full of chance, and Mr. Qin is fascinated by it, just like those connoisseurs who are obsessed with collecting certain items. At first, they pursue the collections with obvious differences. Slowly, their eyes become cunning and precise, and the collections are different. As a result, the difference became smaller and smaller, that is, from this moment on, experts and laymen began to be divided. Collections that seemed chaotic to laymen had clear distinctions and levels in the eyes of insiders.
Good and bad are obvious at a glance, but the difference between better and better can only be discerned by the expert.
Mortals collect flowers, birds, wood, stones and other objects, while demonic souls collect human beings.
Emperors, generals, strangers, drunken wine, and overly intimate beauties are all destructive behaviors such as breaking flowers. If you are accidentally reincarnated into such a body, the demon soul will wake up soon after awakening. He will die in depression and be reincarnated again.
The seemingly mediocre ordinary beings are the life that Demon Soul is most interested in. He sees endless differences in them and experiences the beauty in the differences.
Mr. Qin is very ordinary. He was born in a declining official family. When he was very young, he wanted to be a teacher. He thought this profession was "very interesting". Only after he woke up did he realize that being a teacher was a life he had never experienced before. .
Teaching is a very interesting profession. Mr. Qin likes to see the blank eyes of children. For him, words and books are a world full of light. For ignorant children, it is a dark forest with everywhere. There are poisonous snakes and beasts. Mr. Qin is not interested in teaching. He just likes to stand in the bright world and watch the children timidly groping forward with interest.
He decided to re-enter reincarnation when he was thirty-five years old. The joy of teaching was only so much that it was not worth spending too much time. However, an accident disrupted his plan.
Marrying a wife and having children is a life-long process, and the Demon Soul will naturally not skip this step. He tastes the joy, appreciates the beauty, and then leaves his beloved wife before they grow old and their children grow up. He never cares for his wife and children. Think about your future life, because this is a part of life. There are many people who die young in their thirties and forties. How should these people's wives and children live, and how should their wives and children live?
Fangfang's mother was a gentle and virtuous woman, well-educated and sensible. Apart from that, there was nothing special about her. She was an ordinary mortal. She died at a young age, but this did not affect Mr. Qin's thirty-five years. The decision to reincarnate and being orphaned are also common life phenomena, and Fangfang has no privileges.
But there is one thing that is not common, and that is the soul.
In Mr. Qin's many reincarnations, this is the first time he has seen a divine soul, let alone a divine soul with his bloodline. But he has known about the soul for a long time and knows more than most people.
"Three souls and seven souls carry understanding, will, memory, etc., which are invisible but very important things. The reason why you are still Mu Xingqiu after a thousand changes, and the reason why I can reincarnate for hundreds of thousands of years is because I have souls. , there are no beasts, no matter how powerful the beasts are, the divine soul is the extra fourth soul, which can make the owner smarter and more determined, but in ordinary life, this special point does not play much role, only practice. Only in this way can the maximum potential of the divine soul be unleashed. As far as I know, among the more than thirty Taoist ancestors, at least ten have divine souls. The first three ancestors all have divine souls, so they can understand the Taoism. "
"Fangfang can also be the Patriarch, if..." In front of Mr. Qin, Mu Xingqiu was able to mention her name calmly, but he couldn't help but think that if Fangfang was still alive, he would have to survive the love crisis if he wanted to be the Patriarch. , it was not just her life that changed, but also his.
"There is no rule for the generation of the divine soul. It is an accidental masterpiece. It may appear in the body of the humblest person and will not be discovered throughout his life. The number of demons is rare, and therefore there are fewer divine souls. In my case, In the era of the famous demon king, the demon clan has not had a soul for tens of thousands of years. "
Mr. Qin is not interested in Fangfang's possible fate, he only cares about the soul, "Fangfang is a godsend to me. If I miss this time, I may have to wait hundreds of thousands of years, so I postponed the next reincarnation. "
Delaying reincarnation brings a serious problem. As he grows older, Mr. Qin's demonic nature becomes stronger and stronger, which means that the possibility of him being discovered by Taoism or demons is also increasing.
Mr. Qin was reluctant to lose the opportunity to observe the soul. There was only one safe way, and that was to get Fangfang married as soon as possible, and then he would be reincarnated as Fangfang's child. For ordinary human demons, this was an extremely against family relationship. The soul doesn't care.
"The boss of the Shen family is a suitable candidate. Fangfang's soul will not be discovered easily in the Shen family. The harsh environment can also stimulate the power of the soul. After rebirth, I have enough time to observe the changes in my mother. After awakening again, these memories will become a valuable asset.”
The demon soul doesn't want to change anything, it just wants to enjoy a unique life.
Mu Xingqiu gradually saw Mr. Qin's context clearly and began to understand what the demon soul was.
"But I waited too long, long enough to attract the demon species."
The demon species in Yelin Town came for Mr. Qin, but it could not find the specific whereabouts of the demon soul, so it followed its previous practice and invaded all the residents of the town, and then came to look for the soul. It probably put Fangfang inside The divine soul is regarded as a change of the demon soul.
Mu Xingqiu knew what happened next. Feng Ruhui took the opportunity to steal the soul, and ten teenagers in Yelin Town gave birth to Daogen. "The names of the ten of us..."
"It's my fault. After my demonic power increased, I became proud. I couldn't help but want to leave some traces so that the orthodoxy could know my existence. The piece of paper recording my name should have been discovered much later. At that time, I It has been reincarnated for several lives without leaving any traces.”
Feng Ruhui, a Taoist priest from Luanjing Mountain, wanted to steal the soul, so he entrusted dreams to many children in the town, hoping that someone could take Fangfang away to give her a chance to do something. Mr. Qin saw this but could not intervene directly, so he came up with a way to use Feng Ruhui's dream to push a group of children to sabotage Fangfang's escape plan. When choosing tools, he naturally thought of Those kids with special names.
If everything goes well, Shen Hao will take Fangfang home sooner or later. Whether it is out of jealousy towards Mu Xingqiu or guilt towards his family, he will do so in the end.
The result was different from the original plan of Mr. Qin and Feng Ruhui. Feng Ruhui successfully stole the soul. Mr. Qin could only "die" early to avoid the attention of the Taoist order. He cared more about his own soul than studying the soul. Safety.
The demon soul hides in the "bright zone" between the void and reality. Apart from him, no living being knows the existence of this place, not even the ancestors of the Taoism. In order to hide their whereabouts, the reincarnation of the demon soul usually randomly selects the target for reincarnation, and only in rare cases will the target be actively selected.
Mu Xingqiu breathed a sigh of relief, and the knot in his heart was finally untied, "So, you didn't manipulate my behavior."
"No one manipulated you, not even Feng Ruhui. In fact, Shen Hao and the others were not manipulated. It was nature. I just gave you a gentle push. You have seen ants and you want them to go a certain way. All you have to do is Putting a little bit of honey in the right place doesn’t require you to control the specific behavior of a particular ant.”
"Mu Xingqiu, you are a little bit different. If possible, I would very much like to experience your life. Your persistence and strength are just a little bit better than others. The accumulation so far makes you who you are now. "Mr. Qin gave Mu Xingqiu a rare compliment.
The two of them had rowed to the center of the lake. The lights on the lakeside were starting to light up, and another lively night was about to come.
"Why don't you enter reincarnation again?" Mu Xingqiu asked.
"I was already prepared, but the situation developed too fast. When I knew that the demon species would soon return to the world, the reincarnation ended, because I had to accumulate some mana to cope with the many crises. I was confused and ignorant. Ten years will make me more dangerous."
The demon soul couldn't bear to be reawakened again, and even the land of Youming was no longer so safe. He quietly accumulated mana, but without the support of the demon species, he could not accumulate powerful mana anyway. He had to find a man. protector.
"It can only be you, Mu Xingqiu. You have the strength and the will. This help is not in vain. I can help you rise to the highest level of cultivation, and also allow Fangfang to enter reincarnation. Yes, more than ten years later, She will still remember you."
